Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Lin Wu was sitting in the main hall, frowning as he looked at the letter asking for help in his hand. Suddenly he noticed that Gu Yan had walked in, and hurriedly walked over and handed the letter to Gu Yan.

"Sir, the people from Dingnan County's Demon Slaying Department just sent a letter asking for help. A general's tomb appeared at the junction of Dingnan County and Night Kingdom. Their people speculated that the owner of the tomb was a strong man from five thousand years ago.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Demon-Slaying Division of Dingnan County was worried that the General’s Tomb would endanger several counties in the north, so he took his senior officials into the tomb. However, seven days had passed and Lord Wang had not returned yet, so he sent someone to visit him. We, the Demon Slayer Division of Jiangnan County, are asking for help.”

Ye Kingdom is a small country in the south of Anju. Ye Kingdom is extremely small, only half the size of Anju.

In the past, the Kingdom of Ye was not called this name, but was called Bo Yao, because at that time, a prince of the Kingdom of Ye, who admired the princess of Da Qin, went to the imperial capital to propose marriage.

The contemporary Emperor Qin was furious, feeling that a prince from a barbarian land had the audacity to covet the princess of our heavenly kingdom, so he sent an army to sweep across the Night Kingdom, captured the king back to the imperial capital, and made him kneel outside the palace gate for three days and three nights. , and changed its country name to Ye, taking the meaning of Yelang's arrogance.

Gu Yan frowned and read the letter asking for help, and said

"The capital of Anzhou is at the junction of the three counties. Why not ask the Demon Slayer Department of the state for help?"

After hearing Gu Yan's question, Lin Wu smiled bitterly and said

"When Cao Chengzhen, the official Duanjiang hand of Anzhou Zhenzhou, went to support Huangzhou, he took away many strong men from the state capital. Now there is only one strong man from the Guiyuan realm in the state capital, and the area of ​​the state capital is much larger than the county town. The state capital The strong men of the Demon Slayer Department have been so busy that they can’t even take care of Dingnan County’s affairs.”

Gu Yan patted his forehead and then remembered that Cao Chengzhen had not withdrawn from the front line of Huangzhou. In the past, when the Xiao family was annihilated, the demon-slaying department of the state did not send anyone. There really was no extra manpower, so he could only watch. The great achievement passed by

In fact, we can't blame Cao Chengzhen for taking away so many strong men. Anzhou is the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty, and the number of evil spirits is not as scary as in the border states. Although the remaining strong men in the department will be a little tired, they can still cope with it.

Huangzhou is the top priority. Once it falls, Great Qin will have no chance to defend it. You must know that behind Huangzhou is Zhongzhou, and the imperial capital is in the center of Zhongzhou, so Cao Chengzhen brought so many strong men with him when he went to Huangzhou. It's also understandable

Gu Yan put the letter on the desk and said to Lin Wu

"Go and call Ming Ting and Lin Xi and ask them to accompany me."

Lin Wu nodded and walked out while talking.

"Okay, it just so happens that Lin Xi just left the customs yesterday."

After Lin Xi and Ming Ting walked into the main hall, they bowed to Gu Yan, who was deep in thought.

"grown ups"

Gu Yan raised his head and looked at the two people with weapons and talismans, and said

"You are here, let's go"

Lin Wu had already explained the situation when he called them, so there was no need for Gu Yan to give any more instructions.

The three of them galloped towards the south. After traveling for three days, they arrived outside Anzhou Mansion.

Ming Ting looked at the towering city wall and wondered.

"Sir, aren't we going to Dingnan County? How come we are here in the state capital?"

Lin Xi on the side heard Ming Ting's question and said lightly

"My lord has always done things safely. This time I came to the state capital to exchange some things from the Ministry of Industry and Armed Forces to deal with the crisis in the general's tomb. After all, even Lord Wang in the middle of the fifth realm has been trapped. My lord should be fully prepared."

Gu Yan glanced at Lin Xi and said with a smile

"That's right. Since Mr. Wang has not been heard from since he entered the General's Tomb, there is probably a formation inside. It is estimated that there will be some messy things inside. After all, after five thousand years, who knows what kind of monsters and ghosts there will be inside."

Mingting looked understanding, nodded, and then followed Gu Yan towards the city.

For the sake of convenience, the three of them all wore official uniforms, which would reduce a lot of trouble. The soldiers who were checking people coming in and out at the city gate saw the official uniforms on the three of them, bowed respectfully, and then quickly got out of the way. For fear of blocking the three people's way into the city

After Gu Yan led the two of them into the city, he went straight to the Demon Slayer Department of the state capital. When he came to the door, he showed his token to the guard and asked

"Where is the Ministry of Industry and Arms?"

After the guard saw the token representing the identity of the commander, he immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him. After all, the commanders of Dingnan County and Jiangning County had been to the state capital many times, and the guards knew their appearance.

Moreover, the commander of Jiangning County is still from the Demon Slayer Department of the state capital. Only the new commander of Jiangnan County is unknown to them, so the identity of the person in front of them can be revealed.

Since they were the commander, they naturally could not offend them, so they bowed respectfully and then said

"Master Gu, please come with me."

Gu Yan followed the guard into the Demon Slaying Department. When he saw the situation in the Demon Slaying Department of the state capital, he seemed to be more nervous than he imagined.

The demon slayers in the department all looked tired and came and went in a hurry. As soon as they came back, they rushed to the mission hall to take over the mission, and their busy feet did not even touch the floor.

For some reason, Gu Yan suddenly had a hunch that if Cao Chengzhen didn't come back, the Demon Slayer Division of the state might have to borrow someone from him. After all, he had more than 2,000 demon slayers under his command, and the demons in Jiangnan County were relatively strong recently. few

While Gu Yan was thinking wildly, the Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs arrived.

"Sir, the Ministry of Industry and Arms is inside. We and other guards are not allowed to enter without a token. You can go in by yourself."

"Okay, thank you"

Gu Yan took out a bottle of elixir from his pocket and handed it to the guard who was leading the way.

After the guard took the elixir, he couldn't suppress the look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect the new commander to be so generous. He just led the way and gave him the elixir directly. He immediately felt good about him and quickly and respectfully. a gift

"Thank you sir"

After the guards left, Gu Yan stepped into the Ministry of Industry and Weaponry. The Ministry of Industry and Weaponry in Anzhou and Huaizhou looked the same. The yards were full of unkempt developers, all busy with what they were doing. They were not at all interested in Gu Yan's arrival. Don't care, no one even looked up at him

After Gu Yan smiled bitterly, he asked loudly

"My officer, Gu Yan of Jiangnan County, who is responsible for exchanging the talismans?"

Bang!

As soon as Gu Yan finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly came from the yard, and an old man with a charred face glared at Gu Yan dissatisfied.

"What are you doing with such a loud voice? It made me work for a long time in vain. Come with me!"

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. There was nothing he could do. If he didn't shout like this, they wouldn't be able to see him until dark.

Gu Yan followed the old man all the way to an attic. The two guards guarding the door saw the old man's scorched face and forced a smile to open the door.

The old man noticed the smiles of the two people and gave each of them a chestnut to eat. Then he walked into the attic with his hands behind his back. Gu Yan quickly followed after seeing this.

"What do you want to exchange for when you come here today?"

"I want to find some talismans to break formations"

Formation has always been the weakness of most military officers in the Demon Slayer Division, so when they learn that formations exist, they usually come to exchange them for some talismans that can break the formation.
