Chapter 70: Take the initiative
Lu Ming suddenly understood what Tie Lihua wanted to do, this was to take the initiative to uproot those unstable factors before the war came.
The county government, Qinglan Mountain, and even the people behind them are probably all on the list.
"You understand, the Great Commander will also cooperate with us, and use the strength of the entire Donghua Mansion to advance and retreat together. Tie Lihua stared at Lu Ming, showing great determination.
"My subordinates understand, please rest assured. Although Tie Lihua didn't say it explicitly, the two knew who they were going to deal with this time.
Tie Lihua nodded and said solemnly: "I don't care what method you use, you must lure out the people behind the collusion with demons." Only in this way can we, the Demon Suppression Division, convict him. ”
Lu Ming's heart sank, and the most troublesome errand really fell on him. The meaning of Tie Pear Flower is clearly to lead out the demon subduers who colluded with the demon in the county order Wude and even Qinglan Mountain, and leave ironclad evidence before they can swing a knife at them.
After all, whether it is the county government or Qinglan Mountain, it is not a duckweed without heels, and if there is no sufficient evidence, the Town Demon Division cannot openly act against it.
"Yes, my subordinates obey. "There's nothing to complain about, since he is the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division, Lu Ming naturally has to be loyal to his duties, and of course, he can also make greater achievements by the way.
If it goes well this time, the merit will definitely be much greater than before, whether it is in exchange for resources or rising step by step in the Demon Town Division in the future.
"Stand down, within three days, give me a countermeasure, as long as it works, the entire Demon Town Division can be at your disposal. Tie Pear waved her hand slightly tiredly.
"Yes, the subordinates retired. Lu Ming didn't say anything more, and after clenching his fists, he slowly retreated.
That night, a celebration in the Moon Tower was indispensable. Except for Tie Pear, all the demon envoys of the Demon Town Division were present.
Now, Lu Ming is already a hot upstart in the entire Qinglan City, and from the deputy commander of Qipin, his power is no weaker than that of the county order Wude.
The key is that Lu Ming is only twenty-two years old, and it can be said that he has a bright future. Therefore, most of the magnates in the city who got the news first had the intention of making further friends. Even, there are smart-minded families who want to tie up Lu Ming, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, through marriage.
It's a pity that the more this is the case, the more Lu Ming resists from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, he will no longer hold any congratulatory banquets to invite powerful people like before, and it is better to keep a low profile at this time.
At the internal banquet of the Demon Division, Lu Ming vaguely said that whoever Lang Song and Wang Zhaodi can step into the Nine Grades of Consummation first, will recommend whoever is the master of the law enforcement hall.
As for another Niu Bi in the Law Enforcement Hall in the late Jiupin period, I am afraid that he will not accept the position of hall master. No other, Fehner.
The guests and hosts were happy, and when Lu Ming returned to the Qinglan Post Station outside the city, it was already the third watch.
There was no Huifeng Courtyard, and the smell of alcohol was dispersed, Lu Ming went straight to an inconspicuous remote courtyard in the town, which was where he broke down and hid people, and Ding Qiang and Wang Erniu were here.
"My lord, congratulations on his ascension. Ding Qiang saw Lu Ming arrive late at night, and congratulated him as soon as possible.
"You're well-informed. Lu Ming glanced at Ding Qiang with a little surprise, this guy stayed here without stepping out of the door, and he was able to get the news of his promotion so quickly.
Ding Qiang smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to the reminder of the adults, I have also developed a lot of eyeliner among the people now, and the news is just from the city." ”
"Yes, I'll send a message back first. Lu Ming threw Ding Qiang a hundred taels of silver tickets, and then took out Ding Qiang's jade slip and asked him to send a message to Ling Fenghou of the Zhennan Army.
The general meaning is similar, that is, the recent condition of the iron pear flower is good, and it is not close to anyone.
Lu Ming originally wanted to learn about the battle ahead through Ding Qiang, but after thinking about it, he gave up, in case it aroused Ling Fenghou's suspicion, it would be more than worth the loss.
"My lord, when will I really enter the Demon Suppression Division? It's so boring to always nest in this small place, just staring at a supernatural person who doesn't pose a threat. After returning the summoning jade slip to Lu Ming, Ding Qiang asked excitedly.
After getting on Lu Ming's boat, receiving five or six hundred taels of silver tickets, and helping Lu Ming to interrogate Ling Fenghou several times, Ding Qiang has now completely regarded himself as a person from the Demon Suppression Division, or Lu Ming's hardcore subordinate.
There is no way, he has no way out, the Zhennan Army can't go back, if he can't enter the Zhenzhen Demon Division again, sooner or later it will be a dead end.
Lu Ming could probably find out Ding Qiang's mentality, and he would not really let him go, so he smiled and soothed: "Don't worry, I am already the deputy commander of the Qinglan Town Demon Division, and I can appoint you as the Demon Envoy of the Qinglan Town Demon Division Secret Whisper Hall Town now." It's just that you can only be in the shadows, and you can't arouse Ling Fenghou's suspicion. ”
"Moreover, you can't leave a file record in the Secret Whisper Hall, for now, you are still only obeying my orders, and you must not expose people. Lu Ming said again.
Ding Qiang was in good spirits and said excitedly: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”
"Okay, when you have nothing to do, you have to practice diligently, don't waste your cultivation. Sooner or later, I'll reuse it for you, but don't let me down. Lu Ming encouraged again, and then went to another room with his hands behind his back.
When Lu Ming left, Ding Qiang thought about it again and again, and suddenly said to himself with some hesitation: "The demon envoy of the Secret Whisper Hall can't leave a dossier, and you can't expose people, so ...... What's the difference with now?"
......
The other wooden house is naturally the hiding place of the 'Ant King' Wang Erniu. It's just that the ant king in front of him is really a little miserable.
The six nine-rank black ants that were originally manipulated were all taken away by Lu Ming, and all the spirit stones and medicinal materials on his body were also looted, so it can be said that he has nothing to lose.
The problem is that after being handed over to Ding Qiang by Lu Ming, this beast gathering supernatural who lost the demon beast did not have any spells, and he was locked to the stone pillar by Ding Qiang with a steel chain, for fear that he would run away.
In fact, although Wang Erniu has a knack for escaping, he doesn't dare to use it to escape. Ding Qiang didn't know, but Wang Erniu understood that Lu Ming was also a beast gatherer, and there were bound to be black ants guarding the ground under his feet, where could he escape?
Lu Ming closed the door, smiled and waved his knife, easily cut the iron cable, and 'accidentally' cut off a few strands of Wang Erniu's greasy hair, which scared the other party.
"I suffered, it was my negligence, Ding Qiang didn't know the severity, so he neglected you. Lu Ming put away the knife, half-squatted in front of Wang Erniu, and said again and again with a little self-blame.
"My lord, please don't hand me over to that pervert. He often refused to give me food, and always ate and drank in front of me, or punched and kicked me, and didn't treat me like a human being at all. Wang Erniu, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, suddenly fell to his knees as soon as he got out of the shackles, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ding Qiang to have such a bad taste.
