Although Zhu Jin and Xiao Maha were still emotional, the speed of escape was not slow, and it only took half an hour for the group to rush to the north bank of the Guan River.

"Brother Han, you're fine!"

As soon as the two arrived, Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang and greeted them. Holding Zhu Jin's hand, he asked with concern.

"Thank you for the monarch's concern, thanks to General Xiao's timely assistance, the last general learned that he escaped by luck."

Zhu Jin was full of shame, thinking that he was still full of confidence at that time, and wanted to capture Wang Yanzhang alive, but in the end, he was easily taken down. Although this matter was disgraceful, Zhu Jin still reported it all to Liu Bei.

"This Wang Xianming is a person who values love and righteousness."

Knowing the cause of the incident, Liu Bei nodded approvingly. Then he looked at a young man behind him: "Yuanlong, the matter of the captives has always been in charge of you. What is the situation with Pei Yuanshao? ”

"Qiyu Monarch, according to your holy words, Weichen was not captured by the difficult army. As the commander of the cadre army, Pei Yuanshao was still detained in solitary detention. ”

The young man said respectfully. He is none other than Chen Deng, the eldest son of the Xiapi Chen family in Xuzhou! The son of Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family. He is hearty, quiet, resourceful, and has the ambition to help the people when he was a teenager, and is well-read and knowledgeable.

Historically, he served as the magistrate of Dongyang County through filial piety. Although he is young, he can understand the people's feelings, care for the weak and raise orphans, and is deeply respected by the people. Later, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian promoted him to the rank of lieutenant of the agricultural school, in charge of agricultural production in a state. He personally inspected the soil conditions of Xuzhou, developed water conservancy, and developed farmland irrigation, so that Xuzhou's agriculture, which had been destroyed in the late Han Dynasty, was restored to a certain extent, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and "rice was abundant".

At the beginning of Jian'an, he was sent to Xu to offer Cao Cao the strategy of destroying Lu Bu, and was awarded the Guangling Taishou. To destroy Lu Bu meritorious, General Gafubo. For many years in Guangling, he defeated Sun Ce's forces many times. Moved to the east of the city too shou. Chinese New Year's Eve died nine times.

Nowadays, Guangling County is contested by the three princes of Shi Pu, Zhu Xuan, and Tao Qian. Among these three, the first two are martial artists who have no political foresight and only know how to fight, and the latter's ability can only barely protect themselves.

As the head of the Chen family in the first family of Xiapi, Chen Jue, for the continuation of the Chen family, naturally would not choose these wastes. On the surface, he closed his door all day long, and he didn't seem to care about the world. But secretly, he sent his son Chen Deng out to find the master who was truly worthy of the Chen family's trust. And Liu Bei is the favorite candidate of Chen Qi's father and son.

Of course, the cunning rabbit three holes, the treacherous and cunning Chen Qi did not put all the treasures on Liu Bei's body. For example, Chen Ying, the second son of the Chen family, is now serving in the Qi State.

"Well, this time we retreated, and it was inconvenient to take the captives across the river, so let's let them go, and it can be regarded as repaying Wang Yanzhang's love for releasing Brother Han, and everyone will not owe each other after that."

Liu Bei smiled slightly, he was afraid that Zhu Jin would take into account Wang Yanzhang's kindness in releasing him this time, and he would do something in Shu in the future. So now, he not only wants to release Pei Yuanshao, but also releases the hundreds of cadres and soldiers under his command to prisoners. After all, captives are of little use to Shu.

"Thank you, Monarch!"

Zhu Jin, who was originally worried that Liu Bei would not release Pei Yuanshao, was very moved when he heard that Liu Bei was ready to release the other captives together.

"Kong Ming, what should we do now? This country has made it clear that it is going to fight a decisive battle with us. Liu Bei turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang behind him again.

"At present, the cadres are fighting with us, and they undoubtedly want to give an explanation to the cadres and the next generation. This battle is inevitable. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed, his face was full of exhaustion, historically, Zhuge Liang was more inclined to internal affairs, and Liu Bei's main advisers were actually Pang Tong and Fa Zheng.

But now there are too few top ministers in Shu, and Zhuge Liang is not only responsible for government affairs, grain and grass operations, and civil arrangements. He also has to stand by Liu Bei's side, act as a military advisor, and give advice to Liu Bei. This huge workload almost pressed Zhuge Liang couldn't breathe.

Zhuge Liang said, looking at Chen Deng who was at the back, and the depression in his heart was finally relieved. Although Zhuge Liang and Chen Deng did not get along for long, Zhuge Liang still discovered Chen Deng's talent.

In the past two days, Zhuge Liang has been by Liu Bei's side many times, praising Chen Deng's political vision, and wanting Chen Deng to take over his military work.

It's just that Liu Bei has been pretending to be stupid all the time. He also has his own ideas, not that Liu Bei feels that Chen Deng can't take up the post of military advisor, but that Liu Bei only believes that Zhuge Liang can help him win the title of Xuzhou.

If it is a small force, Liu Bei is willing to let Chen Deng come to the front desk to experience it. But now facing a Qianguo country with a country area larger than Shu, Liu Bei does not dare to take risks, what he needs is Zhuge Liang to take him out of the predicament.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
