Chapter 228: Standing Out from the Crowd

When Qin Mu passed through the moon gate and came to the back garden, he saw at a glance the Song Rentu, who looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, a piece of black armor hanging on his chest like a belly pocket, and his limbs were no longer armless, sitting on the bamboo rocking chair in front of the flower pond and squeaking and shaking.

I also met a young man standing by a rocking chair.

The other party was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an ordinary face, tall and thin, and an impressive and friendly smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was also this smile that made his whole temperament look like a piece of warm jade.

Even if he hadn't said a word, just by taking a look, Qin Mu had a slight affection for this young man in his heart.

And the other party was also looking at Qin Mu curiously at the moment.

Song Rentu, who looked like a child, spoke in an old-fashioned manner, and there was a cordiality in his tone, and when he saw Qin Mu for the first time, he beckoned to him and said: "Don't be stunned in front of the moon gate, get closer, I have long been interested in you, the banner master of the Demon Town who can dream of entering the fairyland, and can let the old demon of Cangshan rest assured that he has placed a few little apprentices at home." ”

His voice was also like a child, with a kind of immaturity and clarity, but the content of his words made Qin Mu's scalp tingle instantly.

He always thought that after the old demon of Cangshan placed Cang Ziyu and others in his house, he would arrange some means to hide them, or hide their background.

But at this moment, it seems that the old devil has nothing arranged?

Above board, he placed Cang Ziyu and others in the Qin Mansion?

While thinking about this, he also approached the flower pond, came to the young man's side, and bowed with his fists, bowed to the Song people who were sitting in the rocking chair, and said respectfully: "Qin Mu greets the city lord." ”

Song Rentu smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Excuse me, I'm a lawless person, I have a headache when I see these etiquettes, and I don't need to do these vulgar rituals in the future, just be free in front of me." ”

When Qin Mu straightened up, he said again: "I have already read your resignation, and I will approve it, but before that, I also want to talk to you, if you don't need to go to the headquarters for training, and I allow you to continue to serve as the banner master of the Demon Suppression Division, will you withdraw this resignation?" ”

As he spoke, he raised a thin post with only two sheets of paper.

Qin Mu was stunned when he heard this, and his face also showed doubts, he didn't understand why a big man like Song Rentu would keep a small person like him, and he also gave a promise to exempt him from training at the headquarters.

It would be fine if the extreme heavenly spirit root of the golden water dual system was exposed, but what he was showing in front of everyone now was just a lucky person who was lucky enough to be able to dream of entering the fairyland to see the sages and saints preaching the scriptures and talking about poetry and songs.

And the qualifications he himself revealed were only 97 points of Golden Spirit Root, as well as the cultivation at the peak of the foundation building period.

With the cultivation of the Song Dynasty Tu Mahayana period, a small person like him should not be cared about by the other party.

After Song Rentu saw his hesitation, he naturally understood the doubts in his heart, so he said: "Now it is a time of turmoil, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and many people who seem to be loyal secretly hide a femme fatale. ”

"Take Guanhai City as an example, in the huge Guanhai City, there are not even five fingers of people who can make me trust."

He shook his head, a slight irritation in his tone.

"Qi Shayu should have told you about those merchants on the way, they closed the door of the store to protest, but I can't kill on a large scale, after all, their ancestors and I are considered robes."

"It's okay on weekdays, but now is the time when people are panicking, if I don't miss the old feelings because of such a trivial matter, and don't wait for the invasion of foreign enemies, Dayu will be in chaos inside."

After saying this, Song Rentu looked directly at Qin Mu and said, "And the group of people in the Demon Suppression Division can't be entrusted with the heavy task at all. ”

He paused and sneered: "Hundred households in the autumn wind are unpredictable, on the surface, they are the hundred households of the Demon Division, but secretly they serve the Daqianyu Party, with him as the leader, where can those people below be clean?" ”

"The flag owner Zhu Hong is a wall grass, and he will attach himself to whichever side is strong; The banner owner Chen Qing seems to be honest, but he is a fine work that the Ethereal Sect has inserted in his early years; Han Zhuo, the banner owner, is not very old, but he is a profit-hungry person, and he has already accepted bribes from those merchants; The banner advocate is the secret guard of the rebel emperor Fu Hongtao. ”

"If you calculate carefully, if you don't count it, there are a total of nine flag masters, and there are four problems with this."

"The remaining five people, it's not that they are fine, but they haven't been found yet."

"Even the flag owner is like this, those captains and inspectors below, needless to say."

After Qin Mu heard these things, he couldn't help but be stunned.

During the time he spent in the Demon Suppression Division, he didn't know anything about it, and he hadn't even heard any of it.

Song Rentu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it's strange that you get along with them every day, but you haven't even heard a little rumor." ”

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Song Rentu shook his head slightly, and explained helplessly: "That's because of the stupid thing that He Longxing did in the first hundred households, he thought you were suspicious, and at the same time left you behind. ”

"This has caused all the flag owners, captains, and inspectors to avoid you, for fear of being implicated by you, but exposing the pickled things they did secretly, and you naturally have no chance to join them, let alone hear a little rumor."

"Moreover, your position is sensitive and your personality is introverted, so naturally no one will contact you."

"Only Wang Zhihao, who has a bold personality and is unruly, can have a good relationship with you."

After Qin Mu heard the name of 'Wang Zhihao', he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling sorry for the other party's accidental death.

After Song Rentu saw the sentimental look flashing in his eyes, he asked with a strange face, "Do you think that your big brother Wang is a good person?" ”

When Qin Mu heard him say this, his face suddenly changed in shock.

"He has a problem too?"

Song Rentu nodded and said, "The day after his death, it was when I came to Guanhai City, not to mention that his body was still parked in the City Lord's Mansion, so I naturally paid attention." ”

As the words fell, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Guess what I found?" ”

After Qin Mu saw this strange smile on Song Ren's tender face, he panicked for no reason, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

After Song Rentu saw his expression, he smiled and said, "This Wang Zhihao, your eldest brother Wang, was already a corpse a few years ago...... Do you know what this means? ”

When Qin Mu heard him say this, he recalled the scenes when he got along with Captain Wang, and instantly felt a chill in his back, and his scalp was numb, and he asked in a deep voice: "Borrowing a corpse to return the soul?" ”

Song Rentu glanced at him angrily, and said: "What kind of borrowing corpse to return the soul, if that's the case, how can he hide so many people from the Demon Suppression Division, although these people are not a good thing, but their eyesight and cultivation are not fake." ”

"In fact, the Captain Wang you know was conjured up by a monk who cultivated to terror, and the other party lurked in the place where the birds don't, either because they had other plans or to avoid the enemy."

"It's just that I heard that I'm coming, and the other party knows that he can't hide my pair of delusional pupils, so he can only fake his death and get out!"

When he said the four words of feigning his death and getting out, he quietly glanced at the young man standing beside Qin Mu.

When Qin Mu suddenly realized, he suddenly remembered the amazing insight that 'Captain Wang' talked about the world and was familiar with many things, as well as the fact that on the night of his death, he suddenly came to him for a drink and asked him to draw the appearance of a 'spirit fruit'.

While he was thinking about this, Song Rentu regained his smile, crossed his fingers, and counted them carefully.

"After talking about them, let's talk about you again, compare with this group of people, and your advantages will come out all of a sudden......"

"First, He Longxing's idiot has investigated your details thoroughly, and second, Tang Mubai has checked you from the inside to the outside in Daylight City, after these two procedures, in this Demon Division branch in Guanhai City, no one's background is cleaner than yours."

"Third, you don't go along with anyone, and the only person with a good relationship faked his death and got out."

"Fourth, you rarely communicate with people on duty on weekdays, and you go straight home after being on duty, which is called non-party business."

"Fifth, your qualifications are still passable, and you still have a Yuanying Realm exercise, with your qualifications, as long as you don't die, you will be a Yuanying Monk in a few years."

As he said this, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Look...... After such calculations, you stand out from the crowd in this branch of the Demon Town Division! ”

Qin Mu felt embarrassed, he didn't expect that a player like him would actually be the best one in the Demon Suppression Division Branch.

Song Rentu leaned back, and the rocking chair creaked slowly.

"Let Qi Shayu bring you here, that's why so."

"Now that it is the time to employ people, it is reasonable to be a little more tolerant of people like you."

"In addition, Tang Mubai also mentioned to me that he wanted to recommend you to Guozijian...... You can think about it, if you withdraw your resignation, and when these chaotic forces in Guanhai City are wiped out, you are not only the most promising person to be a hundred households, but you can also enter the Guozijian and receive all-round training. ”

"Moreover, the earth immortal Lu Zhong has had a relationship with you, Tang Mubai of a thousand households favors you, and you are raised by me, relying on these relationships, when you cultivate to a higher level, it is easy to be a thousand households."

Qin Mu was silent when he heard this, if it was before he changed the Taiyi Mystic Method, and the Song people summoned him to come and say this, he would probably agree.

But now, he not only condensed an auspicious golden pill, but even his spiritual power turned into luck.

What the Demon Suppression Division could provide him, whether it was an elixir or a spirit stone, or a magic weapon or a technique, he didn't need it at all.

If he wanted to continue cultivating in the future, he could only go to find the innate five elements.

In this way, if he stays in the Demon Town Division, in addition to adding a burden to himself, he will have to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, and he will have to worry about whether he will be plotted by others.

After all...... The world will be in chaos.

In this case, hiding in the sea of people is the safest thing, and it is also conducive to him finding a suitable treasure holder for the Nine Heavens Killing Divine Spear.

Song Rentu saw that he was silent for a long time, and he didn't know his decision.

He was originally very optimistic about Qin Mu, but now that he came forward in person and promised so many benefits, Qin Mu did not take back his resignation from the table in front of him.

He was not a good-tempered person in the first place, and when he saw that Qin Mu did not say anything for a long time, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and his expression became cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The young man who had been standing on the side of Song Rentu's rocking chair and had remained silent since Qin Mu came suddenly said after noticing the change in Song Rentu's attitude: "Tang Qianhu mentioned before that the Qin Banner Lord still has a grudge against the matter of being kidnapped by the Demon Suppression Division while walking on the road, and now it seems that this is true. ”

After Qin Mu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at him.

Song Rentu, whose attitude had been cold, looked at Qin Mu when he saw the young man speak, and said in a calm voice: "If you really still have a grudge against what happened at the beginning, in a few days, this king will let you personally lead the team to tie up the current group of people from the town demon division from the street one by one and send them to the heavenly prison." ”

"If you are still angry, this king will be able to escort He Longxing back to Guanhai City, so that he can also experience the experience of being tied up in chains on the street and sent to the Town Demon Division."

"Even the king allows you to use the great punishments against them!"

"In the eyes of this king, they are already a group of dead people, and if you dispose of them, it will be worth it to make you change your mind."

"After all, the value of a group of dead people, how can a living person be worth more?"

When Qin Mu heard him say this, he hurriedly shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The city lord is serious, I am not a person with a small belly, and the original incident has also passed, not to mention that Tang Qianhu not only apologized to me in private, but also guided me to step into cultivation, and also helped me get through several tricks, leaving a wisp of aura in my dantian to help me practice." ”

"He was able to let go of the respect of a thousand households, and he helped me so much, if I still keep the original things in mind, but I don't know the current affairs."

Now that the words have been said here, Qin Mu simply explained what should be said.

"I believe that all the benefits that the city lord just mentioned, and I can also understand your good intentions, but my personality is introverted, lazy, and I really don't want to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, let alone a group of people who are false and wronged, just as when I was on duty, I didn't like to communicate with people, and I resigned from the position of flag lord for this reason."

"At the beginning, in front of Tang Qianhu, I used a song "Peach Blossom Anthem" to express my aspirations, just as the poem said I would rather die between peach blossoms and fine wine, than bow and salute and flatter in front of the chariots and horses of dignitaries."

"Actually, that's my true thoughts, but I didn't know much about Tang Qianhu's character at that time, and I was afraid of the other party's cultivation and official body, although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, but in fact, I was very worried about what danger I would suffer if I continued to refuse, so I could only admit it and continue to stay in the Demon Suppression Division."

When the young man heard him say this, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Tang Mubai later copied the poem himself and presented it to him, although the cynical meaning of the poem was too obvious, but he especially liked the leisurely days described in the poem.

When he thought of this, he also smiled and said: "Having said that, looking at your eloquent appearance at the moment, you don't look like a timid and cautious person, Tang Qianhu is just a primordial god monk, but the city lord in front of you at this moment is a monk at the peak of Mahayana." ”

"Moreover, the city lord is much more short-tempered than Tang Qianhu, are you only afraid of Tang Mubai, but not the city lord?"

When Song Rentu heard this, he immediately sneered in cooperation.

Qin Mu sighed lightly and said, "Since I would compromise because I was worried that Tang Qianhu would harm me before, I will naturally compromise today because I am afraid of the city lord, but the person who cherishes his life so much, and when he encounters a situation that endangers his life, he will compromise again and again because of his life, whether it is for the Town Demon Division or the City Lord, is not a person worth wooing." ”

After listening to him say this, the young man said with a smile: "You said it calmly, but it also made us see the real Qin Mu for the first time, not the person who is serious in the Demon Town Division and does not go to the party for personal gain." ”

Song Rentu also shook his head and sighed, and said: "Actually, it is better to speak than your silent appearance, but if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have heard this heartfelt remark." ”

After that, he picked up the resignation form on the table, and as soon as his wrist flipped, a brush appeared in his hand, and after writing his name, he put the resignation letter into his sleeve, and then looked at Qin Mu, and said with a serious expression: "From this moment on, you are not the banner master of the Demon Town Division......"

After a pause, he chuckled again and continued: "This king was only optimistic about you before, but after hearing your words, this optimism not only did not disappear, but appreciated you even more, after all, ...... Not everyone can dare to speak as eloquently as you in front of me. ”

"As for what you call life-sparing, who in this world does not spare his life?"

"And what you said about repeatedly compromising because of your love for your life, it is because you have not met people or things that need you to protect with your own life, if Your Majesty is not with me, in the face of this mess, I will be the first to run away, and a fool will give his life for a stranger."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet, his name is Lu Shan, and he is the thousand households of the secret guard of the Demon Division." ”

Lu Shan, who had an ordinary face and a thin figure, smiled at Qin Mu after the Song people slaughtered him: "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have been busy with official business and have no chance to see you, but today I met the real you by mistake." ”

"Thousands of households are serious."

Qin Mu hurriedly returned the salute.

Lu Shan looked sideways at Song Rentu at this time, and said, "City Lord, if there is nothing important, he will retire with Qin Mu." ”

Song Rentu didn't speak, just waved his hand lazily.

When Lu Shan turned around, he gave Qin Mu a look by the way, and when Qin Mu saw this, he also saluted the Song people, and then followed Lu Shan behind him through the Moon Gate and left the back garden.
