Two days later, Ling Xi and the Nine Emperor Princes met with Guan'er and their horse convoy.

"Tian'en, Tianjiao, this is your sister Guan'er, and your brother is a general in the capital. Ling Xi smiled and introduced Guan'er and Tian'en Tianjiao to each other.

"Mother, it's true, I have a brother and a sister," Guan'er asked with a story on her face. And the two children had already run over happily, and the elder sister couldn't stop screaming.

"Orphans, take your younger siblings out for a walk, and your father and mother will talk about something. ”

This is a prosperous city about the same size as the capital, with a yamen and an army, all of which are the same soldiers as the capital. Holding the court's not low salary, he is idle and shows off his might. When the Nine Emperor Princes arrived, the officials in the yamen were flattered, and for decades, it was the first time that the people in the court went out of the capital. The annual tax is delivered to the capital on time. The envoys of the five countries passed through here back and forth. When I came, the government also entertained me, and when I went back, I hurriedly passed by without stopping. Immediately after that, the generalissimo of the royal army and horses arrived, and the officials of the government became nervous.

"Generalissimo, I don't know what instructions the imperial court has, but the will of the Holy One has already arrived, and we are in the process of implementing it. ”

"This prince is here to inspect and supervise the affairs of the army this time, the five countries are ambitious, and this time they have suffered a big loss in the capital, so they will not be reconciled. Therefore, our army must be tough, both to protect the safety of your cities and to be drawn out to fight the barbarians. ”

"What the generalissimo said is that we have 20,000 troops here, and we also ask for 2,000 guards to protect the palace. Please review it by the Generalissimo. ”

At the foot of the mountain, there is a military drill ground, surrounded by military camps. From a distance, the house is old, and it can be seen that this place was not built in a hurry.

"Lord of the City, the age here is very far away, has it always been used as a military camp?"

"Generalissimo, it's been a long time, and it's impossible to find out how much time it will take. More than 20 years ago, Longzhen was protected and investigated by the royal family, and we were worried that the demons over there would be expelled to us. Originally, we thought that it was difficult to find soldiers in peacetime, but at that time, there were many people who were willing to serve as soldiers, so the source of soldiers expanded several times. These were all handled by the previous city lord, and when I came to my term, listening to the merchants and merchants who came and went, the side of the Eighth Ring Sea began to be unstable. The border of Chu Yun Country often has barbarians coming to make trouble. We are in the center of the capital and the border, and the 20,000 troops have become our backbone. We have also renovated and expanded the barracks. ”

"Well, it's the right thing to do, and the alarm bell rings in times of peace. Lord of the Castle, you are very far-sighted. ”

"The generalissimo has won the award, the prosperity of Chu Yunguo is not bad for the expenses of these individual soldiers, with them, the city is safe, and the people can sleep. ”

"Lord City Lord, did you just mention that when Longzhen was rectified, were there any demons who were expelled here?" Ling Xi, who was also dressed as a soldier, suddenly asked.

"My lord, I heard that at the beginning, they all gathered in Nanshan, but then it gradually decreased, and since last year, there is no longer Nanshan. ”

"Then you also recruited troops last year, right?" Ling Xi asked.

"Adjutant General, you know this. We have soldiers who are killed or injured by natural causes every year, and we have replenished enough numbers over the years. Last year, there was an outbreak of a plague in the barracks, and twenty percent of the soldiers died, and two percent of the soldiers were replenished. ”

"Xi'er, do you think there is something wrong with the soldiers here?" the Nine Emperor Prince asked in his divine sense.

"It's not Jue, there must be a problem, the Terran soldiers and demons here are half and half. ”

"Then how can you convince the city lord?"

"Two ways, to create a plague, or to explain it directly to the city lord. ”

"Xi'er, let's do it at the same time. ”

"Don't worry, let's go in and have a look. ”

With the sound of gongs, the soldiers in the barracks gathered on the exercise ground. The same official clothes are about the same size, and a large piece of black and beautiful. I can't tell the number at all. The Nine Emperors couldn't help frowning, not to mention how many ghosts and demons had mixed in with such soldiers, they were rats who ate imperial food, and what did they mention to go into battle to fight.

"City Lord, these are your soldiers guarding the city. If Fanbang attacks, they are guaranteed to run faster than the common people. ”

"Generalissimo, last year, the leader of the soldiers died of illness, and now he has not found a suitable person, so it turns out that the soldiers here are not like this. The city lord said embarrassedly. There was a sense of powerlessness in his heart, since the plague last year, the soldiers here have been out of the control of the city lord's yamen, and it is the first time he has come here.

Ling Xi secretly opened the Heavenly Eye and scanned the past, the official clothes covered up some of the ghostly energy, but five out of ten were ghosts and demons. It's no wonder that the streets here don't feel the smell of demons, it turns out that they are all hidden in the barracks. Presumably, after the divine decree arrived last year, those demons did not go back to Jiuhua Mountain, but hid here. It's a wonderful place, with food, drink and official clothes to hide the atmosphere.

"Generalissimo, it's not an overnight thing to rectify here, let's go to the yamen to study it. Ling Xi proposed.

"Okay, let's go to the yamen. ”

The city lord was nervous and came to the yamen with a few people. The officials in the yamen were summoned to listen to the instructions of the generalissimo of the soldiers.

There are not many people in the yamen who work on business, and there are only forty or fifty people who are in charge. The grades sat in the lobby of the yamen. Ling Xi glanced over, and there were more than a dozen demons and demons with advanced cultivation also sitting there calmly. There was a sneer in my heart, it seems that this is still a city of the human race, but in fact, it has been infiltrated by demons and demons from the heart to the outside.

"Generalissimo, the situation in the barracks is very important, so it would be better for us to find out separately. Ling Xi said in his mouth, and asked in his divine sense, "Do you see how many ghosts and demons there are?"

"Ten were officials, and seven were miscellaneous. The Nine Emperor Princes said in his divine sense and said with approval in his mouth: "What the deputy general said is very true, city lord, take the trouble to prepare a room for us, and I will talk to the deputy general separately." ”

"Okay, the dining room of the yamen, there are many neat tables and chairs. The lord of the city did not doubt that he said.

The city lord and the two masters came to the dining hall together, sat in front of the Nine Emperor Princes and Ling Xi, and waited nervously to ask. Ling Xi's Heavenly Eye, hidden behind your dense head curtain, opened a crack to investigate. Fortunately, they are all Terrans, and there is nothing wrong with them.

"City Lord, we have passed through more than a dozen towns along the way, and we are the first ones who have almost no demons running rampant here, do you know why?"

"Generalissimo, don't you want to talk about the barracks, why do you ask about demons?"

"Marshal Ben is talking about the barracks, do you know where the demons are hiding?"

"I've only been in office for less than three years, and I really don't know that we basically don't have demons here. The city lord said ignorantly.

"What about the two of you?" Ling Xi asked the two masters of the yamen.

"Vice General Ling, we don't know, although there are occasional demons who come out to kill the people, but they can't be caught, we think it's the work of passing demons. ”

"If this lieutenant told you that you had raised those demons, would you believe it or not?"

"Generalissimo, adjutant general, what do you say about this?"

"Look, city lord. Ling Xi motioned to Guan'er, and Guan'er also stood in front of Ling Xi, and with a wave of his hand, he tore open a hole, and the people in the yamen who were still talking in the lobby appeared in front of them. People who are familiar with each other on weekdays are different now, there are more than a dozen people who still look like people, and if you look closely, they are a cloud of black gas.

"What's going on?"

"City Lord, don't you understand this, they are all demons. The Nine Emperor Princes said.

"She, she, who is she?" the two masters looked at Guan'er in fear.

"She is a messenger sent by the Nine Heavens to cleanse the mortal world of demons. There are demons in your yamen, and half of the barracks are full of demons. ”

"This, this, how could this be like this. The city lord said in fear.

"City Lord, you are an official of the imperial court, blessed by dragon energy, and your courage is so small, no wonder the ghosts and demons have infiltrated the yamen, and your family has also married back to the concubine of the human race. The official said firmly.

"You can see that, too. So what can we do?"

"There may have been no way before, but when we come, we must return here to a refreshing Terran city. City Lord, adjust your emotions and divide the people outside into several groups, and they will all come here to listen to the fate. ”

"Yes, Generalissimo. ”

The city lord came to the lobby with a sad face and a nervous face, and said in an almost trembling voice, "Group, all go to the canteen to listen to the inquiry. ”

"City Lord, have you been trained, look at your scared look. You don't need to group us into groups, just a few of us go in together. A demon man beckoned a few companions and walked over.

"I really don't know how this city lord became an official. Guan'er said disdainfully.

"Everyone has fear, and he is still a good officer, and he has never denied being a soldier. That's why those demons stay in the barracks and are raised. ”

"That's also a confused official. The Nine Emperor Princes said angrily.

"Husband, not everyone has a pair of discerning eyes that can recognize people and ghosts. ”

As he spoke, several ghosts and demons walked into the dining hall, and the door closed automatically without wind behind them, and several ghosts and demons were shocked. Looking at the general, adjutant general, and the entourage in front of him, he only felt an invisible coercion overwhelming.

"Y-you?"

"Kneel!" Guan'er shouted, and several ghosts and demons involuntarily fell to the ground.

"What a big ghost, he dares to sneak into the yamen of the human race. ”

"Demon Spirit Fairy, this can't completely blame us, it's the Yamen of the human race, and with the blessing of the official authority, we can also hide our identities here. ”

"Is this the place for you?"

"No, we have been here for thousands of years, accustomed to Terran life, and we promise that we will never harm Terran lives. There is no harm to the women of the human race. ”

"This fairy knows, otherwise your soul would have been gone. Say, how do you want this fairy to send you?"

"Reincarnate. ”

"This fairy can fulfill you, but your karma is different, and being a human being and an animal cannot be guaranteed by this fairy. ”

"We've all been in the demon world and the human world, and it's enough to be a ghost, and it doesn't matter what experience you experience once you're reborn. ”

A few demons disappeared like this.

"Xi'er, these demon warriors are very easy to deal with. ”

"Husband, this will not be the case for the next batch, and the enchantment of Guan'er will be blessed for a while. ”
