Two days later.

After Xing Meng finished breakfast, he was tempering his body in the courtyard, and someone came over to tell him to go to the county office.

After changing into clean clothes, the next man had already prepared the carriage.

The county government is not too far away, and the carriage travels at a normal speed, and it will take half an hour to arrive.

On the way, he could see that everyone's lives had not been affected much, and the lively atmosphere of the market was still strong.

It's no wonder that only two or three people died twice.

As for Hejiazhuang, the whole village was wiped out......

The county government will definitely suppress the news first and will not release it to avoid riots.

In this world, there are demons, ghosts, and weirdness, but many people don't have a very direct feeling.

Life is still three meals a day and four seasons, raising a family, and living an ordinary life.

"Sometimes it's good to live in ignorance. But I ...... There's no going back. ”

Xing Meng sighed.

Just thinking about it, the county government has arrived.

Xing Meng walked in, and in the living room of the county office, Chen Peng and Li Xianling were already sitting inside.

Li Xianling's right arm was wrapped in a bandage and tied around his neck, but his complexion was a little better.

"Lord Chen, Lord Li." Xing Meng bowed.

"Look at your blood, your face, the injury should be almost better." Chen Peng's eyes were like needles, and he immediately saw that Xing Meng's physical condition had improved a lot.

"In Hanjiang County, it's really rare to be able to produce such a martial arts wizard like you, who has been rare for decades."

"It's a pity ......"

Chen Peng didn't talk much about this topic.

continued: "I called you here this time because the stronghold of the Wusheng Sect has been cleared, and the remnants have been swept away, and the rest of the work will be handed over to Li County to continue to carry out, and I will return to the Demon Slaying Division branch today." ”

"What instructions does Lord Chen have?" Xing Meng knew that Chen Peng had something to say.

"I want to take you back to the Demon Slayer Division, are you willing? Your strength is good, and if you are an errand in the Demon Slaying Division, you can also be regarded as an official and a half-job. Chen Peng asked.

Of course not!

Xing Meng's brain teaser was in a hurry, not to mention whether he could survive the demon slaying division with his current strength, in case there were relatives and friends of Zhou Chuan and Sun Zhiyuan in the demon slaying division, which was not good for him, then he couldn't find a place to cry.

"Lord Xie's good intentions, but after this battle, I just want to study hard, strive to win the imperial examination, and glorify my ancestors for the Xing family."

Xing Meng said in a sincere tone.

Half lyed, half true.

Of course, you can't give up practicing martial arts, this is a means of self-preservation, and you can't give up studying, this way is currently the fastest way to gain fame.

Dasheng's literati still have a high status.

Xing Meng analyzed that it was because Dasheng was governed by the emperor and the family, and what the emperor represented was the civilian-official group.

The family represents the Demon Slayer Group.

The two are interdependent and interdependent, forming the power organ of Dasheng.

Therefore, in addition to obtaining fame points, taking the route of scholars is also a channel to obtain official protection.

"Oh! I almost forgot, you are still the leader of the Hanjiang Poetry Club, both civil and military. Well, being a reader isn't necessarily a bad thing. ”

After Chen Peng finished speaking, he said: "Those two are precious, this trip to Hanjiang County, I can be regarded as having lived and died with the two of them, so I will say goodbye." ”

"This demon, no life sect incident, I have sorted out the chain of evidence, and no one should suspect the life on the surface.

But Sun Zhiyuan is okay, Zhou Chuan has a deep background after all, maybe someone behind him will make trouble. However, as long as you make a good confession, then there is no need to worry about it. ”

Li Xianling hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I understand." ”

"Good!"

After Chen Peng finished speaking, he walked out of the county office, and the exquisite carriage was already ready at the door.

"Master Chen, walk slowly." Li County ordered.

"Master Chen has a good trip." Xing Meng also bowed.

"Have a nice trip? That's a good word. ”

Chen Peng smiled, boarded the carriage, and walked away.

Xing Meng then remembered that there didn't seem to be a smooth ride in this world.

However, the meaning is right.

……

"Xing Meng, come in and talk, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Lord Chen left, Li Xianling said in a deep voice beside him.

All the way to Li County's study.

Xing Meng was a little puzzled, the study room is generally a private place for readers, and it usually does not attract outsiders to enter.

After entering, Li Xian Ling closed the door and began to reach out to remove the bandage on his arm.

"Master Li, what are you ......" Xing Meng was stunned.

After revealing it, Xing Meng's face changed slightly.

"This ......!!"

The interface of Li Xianling's arm that was severed by the sword qi was pitch black, covered with tumor-like bumps, and some of them even had transparent pustules.

"What's going on?" Xing Meng asked in surprise.

"My arm was cut off by the sword light, and if someone came to investigate, they would naturally know that it was the demon slayer who cut it off. This can become a hidden danger and leave the entire chain of evidence incomplete. So ......" Li Xianling's face was not very good-looking.

"So, your wounds were disguised as demonic?" Xing Meng frowned, he did feel the aura of the demon from the broken arm, and it was very strong.

Even if he has internal strength, he can't get rid of it.

"Yes." Li Xianling smiled wryly.

"Then you ......"

"I don't have many days left, a few months at most. Being contaminated by demons is equivalent to being infected by poison, although I only touched my arms, but slowly, the breath of demons will penetrate into every corner of my body, and eventually I will inevitably die. ”

Li Xianling smiled, a little sad.

"Lord Chen did it?" Xing Meng frowned and asked.

"Ho! After the death of two demon slayers, there must always be an explanation, I don't die, the chain of evidence is incomplete, and everyone has to die. I'm dead, at least one, at least ...... It will not affect the family. Li County ordered.

In order to complete the chain of evidence, Chen Peng made the wound on his arm caused by a demon, and he had no choice.

If he didn't do this, whether it was the Demon Slayer Division or Chen Peng, they wouldn't let him go.

His wife and children, both old and young, will also be threatened with their lives.

"Lord Li, there must be a way, let's think of other ways......" Xing Meng had a good impression of Li County's order, but now he couldn't do anything.

"Xing Meng, don't persuade me, there's no way. During this time, I just want to spend time with my family. You don't have to be psychologically burdened, I'm telling you this just to let you know about it, so as not to show your feet. Li Xianling shook his head and said.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, people are inherently dead, in fact, I have lived so long, I have experienced the radical reforms when I was young, and the derogatory frustration of middle age, I, I have seen everything.

Die and die, you just can't let go of the child. In the future, if you have the spare energy, you can take care of it for me. ”

"Lord Li, you ......" Xing Meng heard the taste of explaining the aftermath from the mouth of Li County's order, and couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it, you go back, I have to hurry up and spend time with the child."

In the past, my second daughter always said that I stayed in the county office and didn't go home, but now I have time! ”

Li Xianling waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed.

……

……

Coming out of the county office, Xing Meng's mood became heavier and heavier.

Chen Peng chose to sacrifice Li County's order for the sake of the integrity of the evidence chain.

And does Li Xianling want to die?

Definitely not!

But he had no choice.

Even the dignified county order can only choose to obey, what about the others?

Practice!

Practice!!!

Grow stronger!!!

Xing Meng was depressed in his heart, as if a demon was roaring loudly.
