Chapter Ninety-Three: It is difficult to find peace in the country of Qi
Han Anbo smiled and secretly observed, and found that Ye Han had been smiling and groaning, glanced at the four people with a cold attitude, and then observed the figures, hands, shoes and other details of the four people, and observed their actions with his peripheral vision.
More and more night guards came to the school grounds, and soon more than 100 people.
A group of high-grade officials walked onto the parade platform, and five eight-rank lieutenants wearing iron rhinoceros breastplates formed a team together to form five teams in front of the parade platform.
Li Qingxian looked at the parade platform, there was only one demon hunter Si Du Shi wearing a six-rank official uniform, and that Si Zheng Song Yanxue was not here.
The Si Du Shi read according to the book, first talked about the harm of demons, then talked about the needs of the imperial court, then talked about some precautions for hunting demons, and finally encouraged the night guards who hunted demons.
After the ceremony, the five teams left the school in turn.
The team first went to the terracotta to get an ox cart and some supplies, and everyone put the heavy belongings on the ox cart, and under the leadership of Wu Jingtian, they left the night guard and walked towards the north city gate.
At first, everyone was quiet, and after a while, someone chatted.
Seeing that Wu Jingtian didn't care, the others also chatted in a low voice.
Li Qingxian asked in a low voice: "Brother Han, why don't we ride a horse, and the dignified night guard uses two legs to hurry?" ”
"Half a year ago, I naturally rode a horse, but the night guard was no longer the night guard, and the horses in the Taifu Temple were cut off and I couldn't get a horse. Now the night guards walk like ordinary soldiers, as long as they are not traveling urgently. ”
"In this way, it would be nice if there was a puppet repair, and it would be easier to take the puppet repair carriage directly than to walk."
"Those are all good things, how can the above use them for our ordinary night guards. You take a closer look, don't say ten grades, it's nine or eight grades, how many people are like you, a magic weapon? ”
"Really, except for Ye Han, it seems that Captain Wu has a magic weapon, right?" Li Qing said leisurely.
"When the demon hunt is over, Captain Wu has to return the magic weapon. How many people do those sects raise, and how many people do the imperial court raise? I really can't afford it. ”
Everyone chatted, left the capital, and went all the way to the north.
Shendu Division, Spring Breeze House.
Zhou Chunfeng stood by the window, looking north.
The Zhou hate, who often stood at the door, disappeared.
On the road north of the capital.
Wu Jingtian walked to the middle of the team and said as he walked: "The place we are going to this time is Dadong County, Guangtong Prefecture, Yanzhou, where there is a hole water connected to the big river, and there are often little demons who go down the river and attack people. We will probably walk for five days, about 100 miles a day, stay there for a month, and then return to Beijing when the demon plague subsides. ”
Li Qing calculated that the normal speed of walking is about half an hour and ten miles, and it takes ten hours to walk 100 miles every day, and if you walk for five days in a row, your leg must not be broken?
Thinking about it, with my body now, let alone walking for ten hours in a row, even if I run for ten hours in a row, I will be alive and healthy immediately after sleeping.
Li Qingxian glanced at Yu Ping, who was white and chubby, and said in his heart that this kid was going to have bad luck.
Until the middle of the night to camp and rest, Yu Ping did not complain about being tired, and when he asked, he found out that Yu Ping had been following adults around since he was a child, although he had gained weight in the past few years, but the foundation was there.
The next day, twenty-one people were much more enthusiastic, chatting as they went.
Han Anbo was afraid that Li Qingxian would suffer a loss, so he talked about travel and demon hunting along the way, and took his personal experience as an example.
Wu Jingtian did not stop it, but persuaded everyone to listen.
Han Anbo said all the way, and Li Qingxian and the other night guards listened all the way.
Han Anbo's status in the team has risen, and every time he rests, someone brings water and food.
At night, Wu Jingtian gathered everyone to stand in front of the bonfire, with a cold face, constantly scanning everyone.
The beeping firewood burns, and the jumping fire jumps.
The crowd didn't know what was happening, and they didn't dare to come out.
After a long while, Wu Jingtian pointed to Shendu and said: "That is the capital, you have also seen the boundary monument in the evening, here, more than one hundred and twenty miles away from the capital. This means that we have completely lost the protection of the Divine Capital, and it also means that we will encounter demon clans, evil sects, demon sects, and Jiangyang thieves at any time. You have all heard the saying, thousands of miles of Qi country, a hundred miles of peace. Now we are in that place where there is no peace for 9,900 miles. ”
Wu Jingtian snorted lightly, and said as he walked: "In the capital, in the city, our skin can still scare people, but in the wild, it's not bullshit." Just a few seven-rank masters can kill us all. Do you know how many people come back for every 100 people in the demon hunting team in the past six months? Sixty people, and some seriously wounded. ”
The hearts of the people were shocked.
"Old Han, you were afraid of scaring them before, but you didn't say that they were scary, but now, let's talk about those scary." Wu Jingtian said.
Han Anbo sighed and said, "What's scary, out of a hundred miles of peace, half alive, half dead, resigned to fate." ”
Cold sweat broke out behind everyone's backs.
Li Qing glanced at the dark surroundings, and even the originally pleasant insect chirping seemed to be mixed with evil.
Wu Jingtian and Han Anbo sang and harmonized, and the whole team was honest.
The excitement of the first demon hunt is gone.
The night passed peacefully.
The journey on the third day was a bit dull, and everyone was not like the previous two days, talking and laughing, holding weapons in their hands from time to time, and observing all directions.
Walking through the Yanzhou Great Boundary Monument and bypassing Guangtong Mountain, it was already late at night, and I found a clean and flat place on the side of the road and set up a fire.
Everyone fell asleep one after another, and Li Qingxian, Yu Ping and Han Anbo kept vigil.
In the dead of night, Han Ambo called the two outside the camp and pretended to patrol the surroundings.
Seeing that no one was coming, Han Anbo lowered his voice and said, "Ye Han has a problem, you should pay more attention." ”
"How?" Li Qingxian asked.
"You ask for leave, Ye Han also asks for leave, and he also comes to hunt demons, no matter how you say it, it's too coincidental. I have carefully observed in the past two days, and most of the people in the team are night guard old men, and there are four people who are good friends with Ye Han who have just been transferred in. Two of them, I have seen the back, they are the people who followed Ye Han before. The other two are either good players in the army, or they are masters of the products raised by large families, at least nine grades, even if they are eight grades, it is not surprising. ”
"Ye Han wants to harm me?" Li Qingxian has also been secretly guarding against Ye Han.
"It won't harm you directly, but it may harm you indirectly. Other than that...... Ye Han's true yuan is stronger than he imagined, and he may have been promoted to the ninth rank. ”
Li Qingxian thought of Ye Han's powerful life, nodded and said, "There is a great possibility that he will be promoted to the ninth rank." ”
"You don't usually have to care, they don't be stupid enough to make a sudden move. But once you encounter the demon clan and start fighting, you have to be more careful, they are very likely to use the demon clan to hit you hard. I've seen this happen no less than ten times. Han Anbo said.
Yu Ping said in a low voice: "Why don't I find an opportunity to smash the demon clan and pretend to smash it wrong, and stun Ye Han with a stick?" ”
Han Anbo and Li Qingxian glanced at him together.
Li Qingxian discussed with Han Anbo for a long time, and basically determined that Ye Han did not dare to act openly, nor did he dare to kill himself, otherwise he would incur the wrath of Zhou Chunfeng and the imperial court. However, they will definitely think of the law to harm themselves.
Li Qingxian stepped up the production of a batch of thunder talismans, and for each part of the production, he gave half to Han Anbo and Yu Ping.
