Thursday, early in the morning.

The blizzard blew all night, and finally subsided a little by the time it was about to dawn, but the cold wind was still fierce.

Miao Zhen woke up early, she carefully broke free from Lilian's embrace, crept up to pack her luggage, and when Xu Shuo opened her eyes, she saw Miao Zhen squatting on the edge of the bunk at first sight, waiting with her eyes piercing.

"Good morning, Brother Xu Shuo."

"Good morning, Miao Zhen, when did you wake up?"

"Just woke up."

"That's right..."

Xu Shuo actually wanted to squint for a while, dragging Bai Yu's blessing, he couldn't sleep for a long time after he came back last night, he thought a lot, and only slept for about two or three hours in the last night. But at this moment, seeing Miao Zhen's eyes full of urgency, he really couldn't continue to sleep as if nothing happened, so he simply got up. Not long after he got up, Lilian also opened her eyes in a daze.

The three of them went to the big house for breakfast, and they were ready to say goodbye to the village and embark on the journey to find Miao Zhen's family.

Before leaving, Xu Shuo and Lilian decided to leave most of the money in their bags to the village, and despite Bai Yu's refusal, they ended up carrying only three gold coins on the road.

The little ghosts in the village sent Xu Shuo and the others to the entrance of the village, and then waved goodbye.

"Brother Xu, Sister Lilien, and Sister Miao Zhen, have a safe journey, we will miss you!" Xiao Tian wiped away his tears as he spoke, he thought he was a relatively dull kind of person, but he didn't expect to be unexpectedly emotional.

"Goodbye, Master, the next time you pass by nearby, remember to come and see us, if you can, teach us a few more tricks, and we will prepare the meat to serve you!" When saying goodbye, Malt suddenly half-jokingly changed his name to Master Xu Shuo, which made Xu Shuo a little unaccustomed, but he still smiled and said that he would come back if he had the chance. 81??.?? M

"Junxiong, it's still very windy, don't be greedy on the way there, take care of Sister Miao Zhen and Brother Xu, you know?" Bai Yu instructed.

This time when they entered the city, Junxiong and Baozi also went together, and until they arrived at the city gate, they would go with Xu Shuo and others, and they happened to act as guides in this snowy day, so as not to make Xu Shuo and others mistaken.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll take care of it." Toshio patted his chest and said.

"And me!" Baozi also straightened his waist, and said with great momentum: "I guarantee that Brother Xu and them will be delivered safely, safely, and peacefully!" ”

"A good sleep is superfluous." Bai Yu smiled bitterly and sighed, then looked at Xu Shuo: "Then, goodbye, Brother Xu Shuo." ”

Xu Shuo looked at Bai Yu's bitter appearance and couldn't help but think of what he said last night. Xu Shuo wanted to say something about this, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might not have that qualification, so he hesitated, and finally just replied briefly: "Goodbye." ”

Then, the five of them set off in the direction of River City.

Along the way, the sky was full of wind and snow, white fog, and as far as the eye could see, the surrounding scene seemed to be as hazy as a white veil, if it weren't for Junxiong and Baozi walking in front, Xu Shuo and the others might not be able to reach River City before dark on their own.

The journey lasted nearly four hours, and when the five of them came to the foot of River City, it was close to noon, but when the five of them wanted to enter the city to rest, they encountered a big trouble.

The captain of the thick-eyed guards who was supposed to guard the city gate on Thursday was gone, and the man in the captain's uniform armor had a new face.

After everyone deliberated, Toshio accompanied him to ask a guard with a smile.

"That, I'm sorry, big brother, I want to ask, the one who was in charge of the gatekeeper before, has the officer with thick eyebrows changed?"

The guard who was asked glanced at Junxiong and said, "It's you, that's the captain of Jiangbin you're talking about, he has been transferred, and he has changed from guarding the city gate to the correctional center." Now the new chief is a ruthless character, I advise you to go back where you came from, and don't blame me for not reminding you if you are caught. ”

"Uh......"

Junxiong was a little dumbfounded, how could the thick-eyed chief not die but he was transferred at this time, it is one thing whether they thieves can enter the city in the future, and they are still waiting for Xu Shuo at the moment.

"Sir, be accommodating, a few of us are just here to make a living, not to do bad things." Toshio laughed and quietly slipped a silver coin into the guard's hand.

The guard put the silver coins in his pocket with an expressionless face, and then said coldly: "I can't do this thing, at most I can help you ask our new captain to see if he will let you in." ”

"Then please ask for help, if you can, please say a few kind words for us, we are different from other thieves, we just go in and buy something, really that's all, please!" Toshio said.

The guard shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk over to their captain, and after he had spoken a few words to the new captain, the captain put his hands behind his back and walked towards Toshio and the others.

The new captain of the duty was a man with a very white face, he had a pair of middle-parted bangs that could not be pressed by a helmet, thin lips, a very pointed nose, and he looked about twenty or thirty years old, still very young. He was tall, and when he stood in front of Toshio, he was noticeably a head taller than Toshio.

"Just a few of you who want to enter the city without a license?" The squadron leader looked down at Junxiong, not only was he condescending, but his tone of voice was also very condescending.

"Yes, sir, a few of us want to go in and buy something, and make sure we get out before dark." Junxiong laughed with him, for fear that the other party would not agree, he took out the silver cloth and handed it to Zhongfen, while adding: "In the past, when Captain Jiangbin was here, we were like this every Thursday, you can rest assured, just buy some daily necessities, and it will definitely not cause you trouble." ”

Zhongfen glanced at the lone silver coin in his hand, and said disdainfully, "That's it? ”

"I'm sorry, I was negligent," Toshio hurriedly took out another silver coin and handed it to Nakafen, "Honor you." ”

"Two? Two silver coins, and you want me to let you and the bunch behind you in? ”

Nakabu raised his eyes and glanced at the people behind Toshio, and when his eyes fell on Lilian, his eyes lit up, and he left Toshio and walked straight towards Lilian.

Lilien saw the middle part, and took a half-step back nervously.

Unfazed, he strode over to Lilian and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

"Li, Lilian..."

After Lilian finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't say her real name, and quickly covered her mouth, but unfortunately it was too late.

"What a beautiful name, and your face is beautiful, I've never seen a thief with such temperament......" Nakabu said as he raised his hand and picked Lilian's chin with his fingertips, "Miss Lilian, do you know that it is a felony to let undocumented people into the city, and if I let you in, I will not be taking a big risk." ”

Liliam was forced to tilt her head, but still squeezed out a smile stiffly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but we really need to go into town, can you please be accommodating?" ”

"Well...... this"

The parted fingers slid down Lilian's chin, and the five fingers gently caressed Lilian's slender neck, and then tried to rub Lilian's cheek with his thumb, but as he was about to do so, a hand grabbed his wrist like a pincer.

"I'm so sorry, sir." Xu Shuo had a smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly cold, he inserted it between Lilian and the squadron leader casually, and said lightly: "We will compensate for the part that caused you trouble, how about a gold coin?" ”

The squadron leader frowned and wanted to withdraw his hand from Xu Shuo's hand, but he tried twice without success, and in the end, Xu Shuo took the initiative to let go of him, and his hand was able to regain his freedom.

"You ......" The corners of his mouth turned downward, as if he was about to be angry, but he looked at Lilian and then at Xu Shuo, but suddenly opened his brows, and said with a calm smile: "I was rude just now, and I can't help but be a little embarrassed when I see the beautiful young lady." You don't need any money, you don't look like a thief with a bad character, and in that case, I'll make an exception and let you in, as long as you don't make a noise that I let you in. ”

Hearing that Zhongfen said that he would let them go, Xu Shuo was a little surprised, and immediately confirmed Zhongfen's opinion of him with the eyes of love, but the result was "-32", which is already a little malicious, and it stands to reason that he will not let them into the city.

Before Xu Shuo had time to think about it, Zhongfen turned around and shouted to the guards guarding the door: "These people don't need to check, let them in!" ”

Junxiong, Baozi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and thanked Zhongfen one after another, and then walked into the city quickly as if he was afraid that he would regret it. Only Xu Shuo was still standing in place.

Seeing that Xu Shuo was still standing, Zhongfen slowly put away his smile.

"Aren't you going in?"

Xu Shuo shrugged, "I'm not going in, I'm just accompanying them." Now I'm leaving, farewell. ”

With that, Xu Shuo turned around and left, making it look like he was leaving.

This was also the original plan, because Jiang Bin, who was in charge of guarding the gate before, set a rule that only four people could enter a week, so Xu Shuo originally planned to use the method of stealing the blade to enter the city, so that he could save a place. And now the middle point of guarding the door did not give them any restrictions, but Xu Shuo was worried about what kind of tricks this guy was playing, so he decided to continue to use the thief blade to enter the city and hide himself as originally planned.

After watching Xu Shuo go farther and farther, and finally disappear from view, Zhongfen turned to the guard who had spoken to him just now and said, "Go, find two people, one follows the guys who went in just now, and the other goes to inform the pickets and tell them that four thieves have entered the city." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sir, if you didn't want them to enter the city, why didn't you just ask us to catch them?" ”

Nakabu snorted and said, "You know what, at this time, you have to pretend to be a good person, wait until someone falls into hell and then pull her up, so that person will really obey you." Oh yes, when you go to the pickets, remember to make it clear to them that the blonde female thief I have ordered Nitta Ryu, and asked them to keep it for me. ”

"Yes, sir."

"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.
