Inside the castle guard of the paulownia castle.

The newly appointed city lord stayed up all night in the study, and the candle flame was changed three times, and he still sighed sadly. The order from Kyoto was to give the results next month, but there was still no news of the demon general, and even his own 1,000 descendants were wiped out. The completely unforeseen circumstances plunged the ambitious city guard into a great cloud. Just sat like this, all night, and the dripping water was already cold before the supper.

"General Fu Mo is a famous warrior in the army, from a reckless man in the mountains to the position of a general, and he is also a rare person. And many of his men are good at fighting, and dealing with lich goblins is not a problem at all. After so many years of running around, he has made a lot of contributions to the Yun Dynasty, but it's strange why there is no news of this time?"

"At the beginning, I didn't take it upon myself to catch the stranger for insurance, and I deliberately gave him this credit. He is my father-in-law, and I am here to serve as the guardian of the city thanks to his recommendation. was originally going to return the favor, but now it has become confusing. I've sent more than a dozen waves of detectives, but none of them can come back, who is in charge of this Gale Town now?"

"The moon suddenly turned red a few nights ago, and I saw the fight in Gale Town here, could it be that the Blood Moon has already come? No, no, if the Blood Moon comes, the land of the projectile in Gale Town will definitely not be able to resist. And the evil beast has already arrived in Tongmu City. And I heard that most of the people in Rock Town and Eagle Town have poured into Gale Town, and under the famine, the heavens favor a town alone, what is the reason?"

"Since the detective can't get in, then I'll do something else. I believe that if you do this, no matter how powerful your three major families are, you will never think of it. Knock knock!"

There was a rush of footsteps, and the guards came in to report with a look of rare surprise.

"My lord, Jiang Kuo has something to report!"

"Jiang Kuo, but there has been progress in the mystery case?"

The castle guard raised an eyebrow and looked at the guard, who replied.

Jiang Kuo didn't speak, but judging by his complexion, there should be progress, and he may not have gained yet. ”

"Okay, please!"

It seemed that the surprise came too suddenly, and the castle guard actually stood up, and then it was this time that he felt numb and dizzy in his legs. After a night of hard thinking and planning, the body still made a strong protest. Helplessly, he held the table and half-got up and half-sat down, which made the guards a little confused.

"Your ......, my lord"

"Please Jiang Kuo, I'm fine. ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Jiang Kuo walked in from outside the door, striding and dragging a little, with a happy face and some sadness. As soon as he entered the study, he immediately bowed his head and saluted, shouting in his mouth Lord Castle Guard, which made the castle keeper smile immediately. Jiang Kuo behaved like this, the verdict was solved, otherwise it would not have been so fanfare. This is also Jiang Kuo's habit, every time the case is solved, he will always use this way to announce the success of the officials.

"Sit down!"

The city guard stretched out his hand to let Jiang Kuo sit down, but he stood up and tried that his legs and feet were no longer numb before he walked over.

"Look at your eyebrows, it should be good news, right?"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Jiang Kuo smiled reluctantly, without outsiders, Wang Hanjiu and Jiang Kuo were extremely relaxed. And the new city lord, although it has not been for a long time, is not the same as others. He did not emphasize the so-called superiors and subordinates, but was always amiable and smiling. There are not many cases to be judged since taking office, but one is very bizarre. However, with the help of Wang Hanjiu and Jiang Kuo, it was still cracked smoothly. In the absence of any obvious clues, finding clues and solving the mystery is very remarkable no matter where it is. Therefore, he is very grateful to the government service class that stayed in his office, especially Wang Hanjiu and Jiang Kuo.

"I used to just listen to the reputation of the detective, but I have always respected him, and the detective is also loved by the people. Now that I've been in power for a short time, he's got a fight, and why hasn't the detective come?"

The castle guard deliberately said this, he wanted to keep the good news for a while, and then it would be even more exciting to come out. But he knew that after the good news, there might be bad news. But it doesn't matter, no matter how many people die and what happens, as long as you complete the task assigned by the Holy Decree, everything is worth it.

"My lord, I'm afraid the detective won't be able to come. ”

Jiang Kuo's expression suddenly froze, and there was a slight sadness on his face. The castle guard was shocked in his heart, and a bad feeling came to him in an instant.

"What happened?"

"In Rock Town, we've found the Evil Beast......"

Jiang Kuo's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of fear, it seemed that the evil beast was too terrifying, and he was also frightened in his memory.

"Evil beast, blood moon, blood moon, has come?"

The castle guard sighed in his heart, he just reported the red moon to the court yesterday, and today he received news from the evil beast. If the evil beast comes now, Mo Sanzhen, even Tongmu City, will not be able to compete. Decades ago, the city guard still remembered the scene at that time, without the help of powerful troops and immortal cultivators, maybe Tongmu City would have completely fallen in a quarter of an hour. Evil beasts attack the city and kill people, although they will also die, but the speed of increase is amazingly fast.

Any person or animal infected by the Beast will become an Beast, and the number of Beasts will increase as each place it passes. When I arrived in Kyoto, there should be no more people in the world, right? I didn't hear the news of the appearance of evil beasts, how did they appear?

"The Blood Moon has not fallen, but we have been besieged by evil beasts, and I am the only one of the thirty remaining. Thankfully, I was at the end, and the crater was too deep for the beast to come up. Pity my brothers, who are about to follow the castle guard......"

"Has the beast ever died now, how many of them are there?"

The castle guard proceeded from his own point of view, and then took into account the people, and then made the next step.

"I must add one more letter, so that the number of soldiers and horses of the court will increase, and the speed with which they will come. Only then can the people have more chances to live, and I can be worthy of the trust of the generals and the imperial court......"

"My lord, there are four or five evil beasts in all, and when I came, I squatted all night to make sure that all the evil beasts were dead. ”

Jiang Kuo raised his head, there was moisture in his eyes, and his originally red face became a little yellow.

"The case is clear, you can explain to the court, I don't know where the evil beast came from killed the demon general, and then intercepted and killed our people. As for the follow-up pursuit, it is not something we can control. ”

The city guard's face was pale, and he didn't doubt that the case had obtained such a result. What he was worried about was that since the evil beast could go to Rock Town before the blood moon came, then there was also an evil beast in some corner of Tongmu City now. If you don't want to, you have already thought about it, and immediately Ji Lingling shivered, it was too scary.

"Jiang Kuo, quickly select people from the army to reorganize the team of officials and check the ancient abandoned buildings in the city. Arrivals, posters, and expedited bulletins must be delivered to Kyoto within two days......"22
