Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gu Yan looked at Jing Ting who was bending down at the door, smiled slightly, and said

"Mr. Jing is exempt from the gift."

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Jing Ting straightened up and said

"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu"

Gu Yan nodded slightly, pointed to the chairs on both sides of the hall, and said

"Mr. Jing, please take a seat."

When Jing Ting saw that Gu Yan was very polite to him, he thought it was because of his status as the eldest prince, and thought to himself

"It seems that Mr. Gu is not standing behind the Ninth Prince. Xu Maotong may be able to take him away without using too much force."

Jing Ting's face showed a flattered look, and he clasped his fists again and said

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for the seat."

After saying that, he walked to the chair and sat down.

Gu Yan nodded slightly, and the deacon next to him immediately served Jingting a cup of tea.

Gu Yan looked at Jingting with a smile and said softly

"I wonder why Mr. Jing came to this bitter and cold place?"

After Jing Ting took the tea, he heard Gu Yan's question and quickly put the tea on the table next to him and replied

"The eldest prince heard that Master Gu found out the murderer of Master Deng and wiped out many evil spirits in Hanzhou. It is really the wall of the empire and the pillar of the Demon Slayer Division.

The eldest prince is grateful for what Master Gu has done for the people of the world, so he sent ordinary people to come and thank him."

Gu Yan listened to Jing Ting's compliments, with a hint of complacency on his face, and said with a smile

"It's just trivial matters, how dare you trouble the eldest prince to worry about it?"

Jing Ting saw that Gu Yan was quite pleased with his flattery, so he continued.

"The eldest prince was worried that Your Majesty would not be able to adapt to the bitter cold in Hanzhou, so he asked the common people to bring you 'clothes' to keep out the cold."

When Gu Yan heard Jing Ting's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He is a super strong man in the Guiyuan Realm. He is not afraid of severe cold and heat. This is the most basic thing. It is impossible for the eldest prince not to know this.

Seeing this, Jing Ting quickly took out a pile of 'clothes' with huge denominations from his arms, then handed it to Gu Yan on the desk, and said with a smile.

"Sir, please accept the eldest prince's kindness."

When Gu Yan saw the pile of banknotes on the desk, he almost couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be such a piece of clothing to keep out the cold.

But his face showed a greedy look, and he quickly put away the banknotes, and the expression on his face became more enthusiastic at the same time.

"Mr. Jing, please convey to the eldest prince on my behalf that Gu Yan would like to thank the eldest prince for his warm clothes."

Jing Ting caught the greed in Gu Yan's eyes, and Gu Yan's position in his heart instantly dropped by a notch, thinking to himself

"It seems that the world-famous Marquis of Dingnan is just a mortal, and he is also greedy for money and lust, so this is easy to deal with."

Jing Ting continued talking.

"Master Gu, the eldest prince values ​​Master Gu very much, and has prepared more warm clothes in the palace, waiting to be given to Master Gu in the future."

Jing Ting's words were quite meaningful. Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Yan's eyes lit up instantly, he patted his chest and said

"Mr. Jing, please rest assured. If the eldest prince needs my help in the future, I will never shirk it."

Seeing that Gu Yan was so knowledgeable, Jing Ting smiled and said

"The common people also believe that Mr. Gu will not let the eldest prince down."

"Exactly, there is something I need Mr. Gu's help with right now."

Gu Yan pretended to be surprised and said

"Oh? I wonder if the eldest prince needs my help for anything? But it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it."

When Jing Ting heard Gu Yan's words, he cursed the old fox in his heart. Just now he said that as long as he was needed, he would never shirk him. Now that he had something to ask of him, he changed his words and said that he would never shirk him if he could do it.

But the more Gu Yan behaves like this, the less doubt he will make Jing Ting feel suspicious. If a person is willing to do anything for you as soon as you meet him, there must be something evil.

Jing Ting smiled slightly and said

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The magistrate of Black Cloud City, Xu Maotong, is a member of the eldest prince. He may have accidentally offended Lord Gu a few days ago. I would like to ask Lord Gu to give him a chance to apologize to you." , after everything is over, the eldest prince will definitely send more warm clothes."

Jing Ting observed Gu Yan's face while talking. From the beginning, Gu Yan's expression did not change at all. It was not until he said that more banknotes would be sent that Gu Yan's face showed emotion. , this not only made Jing Ting curse Gu Yan for being greedy again in his heart,

Gu Yan's performance was not beyond Jing Ting's expectation. He pretended to be hesitant at first, then gritted his teeth and agreed, saying

"Okay! Since it is the request of the eldest prince, I will definitely agree. I will have Master Xu released later."

After seeing Gu Yan agree, Jing Ting's face showed a look of victory. Gu Yan's performance was completely in accordance with Jing Ting's plan.

Jing Ting first gave Gu Yan a step up, saying that it was because he accidentally offended Gu Yan, which meant that it was a misunderstanding.

Then let Xu Maotong place a drink behind him and give Gu Yan a grand apology to satisfy Gu Yan's vanity.

Then he hit it with heavy profit and directly broke Gu Yan's psychological defense. Everything was so logical.

Jing Ting stood up, bowed to Gu Yan, and said

"The common people will take the place of the eldest prince and thank you first."

Gu Yan waved his hand casually, saying that you're welcome. His bright eyes turned into a smile, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Jing Ting thought he had Gu Yan under control. He thought Gu Yan was on the first floor and he was on the third floor.

In fact, Gu Yan has always been standing on the clouds, looking down at him

He thought that Gu Yan was following his guidance. In fact, his guidance was arranged by Gu Yan in advance, so he could only guide in this way.

Gu Yan shouted loudly to the door

"Somebody come!"

A demon-slaying envoy wearing black armor and a long sword across his waist quickly walked into the hall, cupped his fists at Gu Yan and said

"Sir, my subordinate is here"

Gu Yan's fingertips flashed with white light, and the token instantly appeared in his hand. He threw it towards the Demon Slayer and said

"Take my token and go to the prison to bring Xu Maotong over."

After taking the token, the Demon Slayer said

"Yes, my lord!"

After the demon-slayer envoy left, Jing Ting looked at Gu Yandao with some confusion.

"Master Gu, do the demon slayers in your department usually wear black armor?"

Gu Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and explained

"There are so many evil spirits recently. I will ask them to be on standby at any time. Mr. Jing doesn't need to think too much."

Jing Ting nodded clearly, no longer doubting

After a while of burning incense, the demon-slaying envoy carried the skinny-faced Xu Maotong to the main hall.

Jing Ting glanced at Xu Maotong first, but did not recognize the thin man. He just noticed that the thin man looked familiar.

The next moment, Jing Ting suddenly turned his head and stared at Xu Maotong for a while, then recognized him and asked tentatively

"Master Xu?"

Xu Maotong, who had become confused, slowly regained his consciousness when he heard someone calling him. After seeing Jingting Hall, his eyes showed ecstasy and he said

"Mr. Jing, you are finally here."
