Imperial Demon Slayer Division

The former City Lord's Mansion of Beiyang Mansion has become the temporary headquarters of the Night Kingdom Demon Slayer Division.

Lin Xi stood in the hall, reporting to Gu Yan the situation of Beiyang Mansion and Beijin Mansion.

"Sir, the two northern provinces are relatively stable compared to the other twelve provinces. However, due to the severe drought in this country, the harvests in the two northern provinces are extremely poor. Many people are now hungry and have to change their children to eat..."

After Lin Xi reported the situation in the two houses in detail, Gu Yan sat in the front seat and pondered for a moment, then said

"Xiang Kui, Gong Jue, you two each lead a team of demon slayers to sweep away the demons in Beiyang Mansion and Beijin Mansion. Remember not to kill them too cleanly."

Although Xiang Kui and Gong Jue didn't understand why Gu Yan didn't let them kill them all, as elites in the imperial capital, they had extremely high qualities. Instead of asking, they stood up and clasped their fists.

"Yes, my lord"

Then he turned around and walked out

Gu Yan looked at Lin Wu and said

"Lin Wu, please bring people to invite the respected old people from the cities of Beiyang Mansion and Beijin Mansion. Remember not to use violence."

Lin Wu often takes charge of the Jiangnan County Demon Slayer Division and has outstanding abilities in all aspects. It is perfect for him to invite people here on behalf of the Demon Slayer Division.

Lin Wu nodded, stood up and walked out.

"Lin Xi, please make a notice and say that the Night King is immoral and has made the gods angry, punishing him with severe drought in the two provinces in the north. The Night King is stupid and should not involve the people in disasters.

Qin Jun Mie Ye is a righteous master who upholds the will of the gods. He posted this notice in every corner of the two provinces, including every village."

Very few people in the Night Kingdom have read books, and their wisdom has not yet been awakened. To deal with such ignorant people, Gu Yan's heart-piercing sword is very effective.

"The rest of you should practice hard in the company during this period and try not to go out."

......

a few days later

Xiang Kui and Gong Jue, who had wiped out the evil spirits, came back. Gu Yan asked

"How many monsters are left?"

Xiang Kui said with a puzzled look on his face.

"There are five demons from the seventh realm left. Sir, my subordinates are a little confused. Since we have killed them all, why not kill them all?"

Gu Yan chuckled, a strange light flashed in his eyes

"These five evil spirits are a sword buried by me. When necessary, I can kill some people who deserve to be killed on my behalf."

Xiang Kui is a warrior, a pure warrior. He knows nothing about these conspiracies and tricks, so he is very clear about his position. He can do whatever Gu Yan lets him do.

Gong Jue on the side nodded clearly, thinking of Gu Yan's intention, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Damn, old Yin coins"

Lin Wu happened to be back at this time. Gu Yan glanced at Gong Jue. Gong Jue immediately understood and cupped his fists.

"Sir, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he pulled Xiang Kui, who looked confused, out.

"Sir, everyone has been invited back. They are waiting in the side hall now."

Gu Yan nodded and said

"Come and see with me"

A dozen white-haired elderly people were sitting on chairs in the side hall, looking coldly at Gu Yan who walked in. An old man stood up, slapped the table, pointed at Gu Yan and shouted

"Sir, I don't know what your purpose is in inviting old guys like us here, but I'm telling you, no matter what you want to do, we won't let you do it!"

Gu Yan smiled and clapped his hands without caring.

"Gu Yan admires the strong temperament of the seniors. But before you say this, have you ever considered the people of the two northern provinces?"

When the old man heard Gu Yan's words, his expression suddenly changed.

"Guan Gu, what do you want to do! What tricks are you planning to use against us old guys!"

"Yes! You are still a high official, but you know how to embarrass the people, bah!"

"..."

Gu Yan walked to the front and looked at the indignant old people in front of him with a smile. He didn't say anything, but quietly waited for them to finish scolding.

After burning the incense, several old men seemed to have finished venting their anger. They folded their hands in front of their chests and sat on the chairs staring at Gu Yan.

Only then did Gu Yan speak.

"Now that you seniors have finished scolding, it's time for me to say a few words. As far as I know, there is very little arable land in the two northern provinces. In the past years, it has only been enough to fill our stomachs. However, there is a severe drought this year. , the people have nothing to gain

The people who had no food to eat almost gnawed away all the bark of trees within a radius of dozens of miles, and there were even cases of people exchanging food for food in some places. Is this officer right? "

An old man looked at Gu Yan and said in a deep voice

"So what? This is the national affairs of our Kingdom of Night, what does it have to do with you?"

Gu Yan sneered and continued.

"State affairs? The Night Kingdom is dead. Where can the state affairs come from? Before I came to the Night Kingdom, I was the commander of the Demon Slayer Division in Jiangnan County, Anzhou, Great Qin. And Jiangnan County is the most prosperous county in the entire Great Qin. Every year, There are countless uneaten grains rotting in the warehouse

I can transfer a batch of food from Jiangnan County to help the people of the two northern prefectures overcome this difficulty, but the prerequisite is to let the people of these two prefectures accept me, Da Qin, how about it? "

After hearing that Gu Yan could help the people in these two provinces tide over the difficulties and prevent many people from starving to death, all the old people present began to hesitate.

The reason why Gu Yan asked Lin Wu to invite these old people over was because most of the things the old people do are for the sake of future generations. As long as the future generations can live well, they, the old people, can bear the humiliation of surrendering to the enemy.

If some young people are invited, there is no need to say anything. They will definitely start taking action after a few words of conversation. The result is that these people will all be killed, and then the people of the two provinces will fiercely resist, and the contradiction will intensify.

The old man who yelled at Gu Yan at first said with hesitation.

"Is what Mr. Gu said true?"

"Of course, I always keep my word. Not only this year, but also whenever there is a severe drought in the future, I will transfer grain from Jiangnan County to help the people fill their stomachs.

In fact, you can think about it, who is the ruler, and does it have anything to do with you? As long as you have enough food, clothing, and warmth, and live happily, does it matter who becomes the emperor? "

As soon as Gu Yan said these words, everyone who was still hesitant instantly became firm.

Yes, who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with them. As long as they can eat well and wear warm clothes, the rest is not important.

After Gu Yan saw the changes in the attitude of these old people, he gave each of them a shot in the arm.

"Old seniors, I come here with good intentions. I promise that after the land of the Twelve Palaces is stabilized in the future, your descendants can enter Yezhou's new government as officials."

Gu Yan's words directly made these old people's eyes light up. Everyone in the world is just for profit. If there is no benefit, who will do things for you seriously?

"In this case, I would like to thank Master Gu first. Don't worry, Master Gu. When I return, I will definitely advise the people in the city to accept Master Gu."

Gu Yan smiled and nodded. After seeing off these old men, Lin Xi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sir, these people scold you like this, do you still want their descendants to enter the Yezhou officialdom?"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yan's mouth. From the beginning, Gu Yan never treated them as living people. These old people were just Gu Yan's minions.

"The mill has just started turning. Of course, the donkey must be full. After the donkey finishes its work, it's time for the five evil spirits to come in handy."

After the notice was posted, an uproar arose in the two palaces. The people no longer talked about the Qin people in the city lord's palace, but began to curse the Night King.
