The county is divided into three classes, Guobei County is a large county, there are many people, it is rated as the upper county, it is the main road of transportation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is of great significance, it is very valued by the imperial court, it is directly under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and it is stationed with officers and soldiers.

As a local county order, Zhou Lixing's official position from the sixth grade, and then one step higher, you can be promoted to a Beijing official, and you can be transferred to Beijing with some qualifications, and your luck is better, if you go one step further, you can turn into a court official, and you can meet the emperor in person, that is called Guangzong Yaozu, and the name is spread all over the world.

Over the years, he has also made a little merit, Guobei County has a smooth wind and rain, the people's livelihood is safe, the business is more developed, the business travel is endless, the performance is booming, and the promotion is just around the corner.

Now it's good, the people of Guobei County are panicked, the people are uneasy, and they are even more demons who are haunting and wantonly killing people, but he has no way to start, and the officers and soldiers sent over, not to mention catching the demons, their own losses are not small, and the people's hearts are weak, and they are barely protecting themselves.

I just hope that the court will not condemn him, and as for promotion, there is no delusion for a long time.

"Master, Wang Zhutou is back. ”

The maid came to pass the word, and Zhou Li said happily: "Yi Daochang is here?"

Regarding the fact that Chen's Mansion was infiltrated by demons last night, and then killed by a young Taoist priest, this matter has spread throughout Guobei County, and he immediately asked people to go to Chen's Mansion to invite people.

"Master Chen brought a Taoist over with him, presumably it must be Yi Daochang. ”

"Okay, you go and tell Master Zhang, let him take Zhao Cheng and a few other mages to wait in the back hall, and I will come later. ”

Since the demons in Guobei County killed people, and Lanruo Temple closed the mountain, he sent people to invite mages everywhere, although there are nearly 100 so-called masters, but there are only three or four people who are really powerful.

Zhou Lixing hurried to the front hall and saw an old friend laughing with a young Taoist priest, and the head catcher was standing next to him, and saluted when he came in.

"Brother Chen Yuan, I can look forward to you. ”

"Zhou Lixing, Lord Zhou, you are cute and funny, send someone to my house early in the morning to invite someone, how dare I not come. ”

Old Man Chen was yin and yang, his face was full of unhappiness, and the teacup in his hand was heavily placed on the table.

Zhou Lixing didn't care, laughed, turned his head to Yi Fan and said, "This must be the Yi Dao chief who catches demons?" ”

"Xiaodao has met Lord Zhou. ”

Yi Fan didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly got up, as the head of a county, Zhou Lixing represented the imperial court, was the parent official of Guobei County, and had the power to kill the common people.

Don't look at him at this time, at other times, it is difficult to see others.

"Yi Daochang doesn't have to be polite, the demons in the county are haunting, and Lanruo Temple is closed again, so at this time, I can only ask Yi Daochang to make more efforts to catch the demons and prevent them from harming the people. ”

"Demons are haunting, as a cultivator, naturally you can't stand by and watch, don't worry, Xiaodao will do his best. ”

A few people laughed for a while, and Zhou Lixing led a few people to the back hall, chatting along the way, very funny, without any shelf, which made people kind.

When I entered the back hall, I saw an old man sitting with a group of three monks, and when I saw a few people coming in, I quickly got up, and Zhou Lixing didn't talk nonsense, and directly introduced it straight to the point.

"Yi Daochang, this is the chief bookkeeper of my county. After introducing the old man, he introduced a few mages: "This is Daochang Zhao, a mage in Xiangyang Guanzhong in Hushan Mountain, with great mana, and a famous demon subduing sword in one hand. ”

Zhao Daochang is quite old, fifty or sixty years old, white and fluttering, fairy wind and crane bones, very magnificent, seeing Yi Fan's opinion, he nodded kindly: "Xiaoyou is a disciple of the old Taoist of Yitianguan?"

Yi Fan was stunned: "The seniors and the family teacher know each other?"

Zhang Daochang touched his long beard and said with a smile: "I am also an old friend, I discussed the Tao together a few years ago, and I admired it very much, but why didn't he come?"

"It turned out to be Senior Zhao, and the family teacher had passed away half a year ago. ”

Zhang Daochang was stunned, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and stopped talking.

Zhou Lixing waited for the two to finish speaking, and then introduced: "These three are the three masters of Zhenfa Temple Yuanlin, Yuanzhen, and Yuanxing. ”

"Lord Zhou doesn't have to lift up, it is the duty of a monk to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

The three monks are tall and thin, while the monks' robes are wide, but they give a feeling of heaviness and gentleness.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down, Yi Fan served tea and drank water, but his heart was not calm, he thought that he had entered the hall and promoted to the realm of 'Mingqi', he was already a master of cultivation, how do you know this, not to mention the surname Zhao Daoren, those three monks are also profound, not much worse than him.

And the surname Zhao Daoren gives him an unfathomable feeling, which shows his strength.

There is really a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

Yi Fan suddenly had a sense of urgency, Lanruo Temple was closed, and there were demons killing people in Guobei County, and his own strength was not enough to keep him safe.

While Yi Fan was pondering, several people spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in recent days, demons have become more and more rampant, killing people in the sky and killing people, and the official is very heartbroken. Zhou Lixing stood up and saluted: "Please also ask the mages to teach me." ”

Yi Fan and the others hurriedly got up, looked at each other, and Daochang Zhao spoke: "Lord Zhou doesn't have to be like this, I will do my best." ”

After a pause, he hesitated and said: "It's just that it is really difficult to subdue the demon by relying on the strength of a few of us alone, and I also ask the county lord to ask for foreign help." ”

Zhou Lixing wanted to speak and stopped, of course he knew that the strength of a few people alone could not really exterminate the demons, but now the problem is that there is no foreign aid to be found.

A few days ago, he couldn't send someone to Nanjing to ask for help, but as soon as he left the city gate, he died inexplicably.

Yi Fan understands that he confronted the demon girl last night, and the information leaked in it can be seen that things are not so simple, and if there is foreign aid, there is no need for them to take action.

After thinking about it, Yi Fan said: "Lord Zhou, since there is no foreign aid, we can only seek stability first, and then seek a breakthrough." ”

Zhou Lixing's eyes lit up: "Oh, does Dao Yi have a plan?"

From the perspective of everyone, Yi Fan was not stage frightened, and said with a smile: "I fought with demons last night, and I can be regarded as knowing some of the roots, and I know where the demons gather in the county." ”

"Great, since you know where the demons gather, then please ask the mages to go and catch the demons and keep the people of Guobei County safe. ”

Zhou Lixing was overjoyed, clapped his hands, and laughed.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside, and a servant rushed in in a hurry, and Zhou Lixing was furious: "Panic, what kind of system." ”

"My lord, a large group of soldiers and horses came outside, escorting a carriage, and was outside the yamen. ”

The servant fell to his knees and said in horror.

A large number of soldiers and horses? Zhou Lixing was shocked and asked, "Ask who led the troops?"

The servant gave a black waist card: "The person who came gave the fast waist card, and asked the adults to look at it." ”

"Commander of the Forbidden Army, Xiahou?"
