"You go inform Uncle Liao, I'll go over and take a look first."

"Then you should be careful, the other party seems to be a popular person around the county magistrate, you must not offend him."

Lu Ren just turned away indifferently.

Yang Bin looked at his back and had a bad feeling.

He had to speed up and go to find Captain Liao.

Now that Mr. Shen is dead, Captain Liao has naturally become the most authoritative person in the town.........

When Lu Ren arrived at the town gate, a group of officers and soldiers in uniform were sitting under the shed of a noodle shop and eating noodles quietly.

These people all had solemn expressions, with an aura that kept strangers away.

Especially their dark blue official uniforms, the cuffs and hems were decorated with golden lines, revealing a delicate and extraordinary texture.

Official swords were placed at their feet in an orderly manner, which brought a strong sense of oppression.

This is an aura that ordinary county yamen runners could not have.

Not far away, the boy who worked in the noodle shop was tremblingly feeding hay to several war horses.

These horses were all tall and strong, with shiny hair, and they were covered with a layer of silver-white light armor.

Lu Ren frowned deeply.

They were not from the county yamen, but elite cavalry from the state capital!

Strange, what were they doing in a small place like Yangliu Town?

When he was puzzled, Lu Ren suddenly noticed that there was a prisoner car parked in the direction of the door.

"To arrest Shen Deshou?"

It seems that the governor arrived in Shanyin County in advance and started his inspection.

If it goes as expected, Shen Deshou and Li Huo colluded with the demons to rob the county magistrate of the stolen money.

I am afraid that the entire county government will face an unprecedented purge.

Lu Ren raised the corner of his mouth.

It's interesting. Isn't this the demon world's version of the anti-gang operation?

He straightened his clothes and sat down in front of an empty seat.

"Boss, 2 taels of beef noodles, with spicy sauce."

The noodle shop owner came over in a panic and said to Lu Ren in a somewhat uneasy tone:

""Master Lu, our shop is reserved by these gentlemen. Why don't you go to another place? I'll treat you to a few more meals some other day, okay?"

It can be seen that the noodle shop owner is obviously afraid of these soldiers.

Before Lu Ren could speak, a young man with a stern face looked up and said,"We will leave after we finish eating. There is no need to chase you away."

The boss smiled and nodded when he heard it, and he was relieved.

Both sides are masters, and he, an ordinary man, can't afford to offend anyone.

""Master Lu, please wait a moment, the noodles will be ready soon."

Lu Ren looked at the young man of the same age as him.

It seemed that this man was the leader of this group of cavalry.

He was young but very mature, and exuded a murderous aura from a veteran of many battles.

"The person you are looking for died last night."

The cavalrymen raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Ren at the same time.

The leading young man slowly stood up and said in a somewhat cold voice:"Is Shen Deshou dead?"

"I just buried it this morning. If you need it, I'll have someone bring it back."

"How did he die?" The young man looked at Lu Ren with a scrutinizing look:"You killed him?"

Lu Ren smiled and shook his head:"Sir, you are joking. He was killed by a demon."

The young man continued to ask:"Where is the demon that killed him?"

"I killed him."

Several people looked at each other.

Seeing Lu Ren's calm expression, it didn't seem fake.

The young man was silent for a long time and asked,"Who are you?"

Lu Ren stood up and replied with a smile,"I am Lu Ren, a native of Yangliu Town."

"No master?"

"If the official doesn't mind, you can introduce me to one or two."

Lu Ren chose a more euphemistic way of saying it.

The young man fell silent again.

A young man without any teacher, how could he be able to kill demons?

If it is true as he said, then this person must be a martial arts genius that is rare in a century.

Although Shen Deshou died, he gained something unexpectedly.

"Are you interested in going with me to meet the Governor?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

The young man laughed at himself and said,"You can just call me Fang Ling. If you can win your favor, you will be able to rise to the top in a few years. You may even become my immediate superior. I can't bear the title of sir."

Lu Ren didn't say anything polite and smiled faintly, saying,"Brother Fang Ling,"........

When Yang Bin arrived with Liao Jian and others, Lu Ren had already left with Fang Ling and others.

Shen Deshou was just an insignificant little person.

Whether he was alive or dead, neither the governor nor Fang Ling cared.

On the contrary, it was a real pleasant surprise to find Lu Ren, a martial arts genius, on this trip.

When they arrived at Shanyin County, the rest of the people dispersed, and Fang Ling took Lu Ren straight to the county government office.

In the lobby, sat an elegant middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a blue shirt, his face was calm and easy-going, and there was no majesty that matched his status.

This person was the governor of Tianchen Prefecture, Song Yue.

Fang Ling motioned Lu Ren to wait outside, and he went in to report the situation to Song Yue.

Not long after, Song Yue looked up at the young man standing outside the door.

"Come in and talk."

Lu Ren walked into the hall and bowed:"Lu Ren, the constable of Yangliu Town, greets the governor."

Song Yue looked at him thoughtfully for a while, with a touch of appreciation between his eyebrows.

It's rare to see a young man who is neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing.

"I heard from Fang Ling that you have killed demons?"

""Replying to the governor, it is true."

Yangliu Town is only his starting point after all. If he wants to go further and see the scenery at a higher place, he must have a springboard.

And there is such an opportunity right now.

After a pause, Lu Ren emphasized:"So far, I have killed seven transformation-stage demons, and the people in the town can all testify to this."

Hearing this, even Fang Ling couldn't help but be surprised.

Lu Ren didn't tell him in detail, and he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Lu Ren had killed a demon by chance.

I didn't expect that there would be such a brilliant and dazzling record!

Killing seven transformation-stage demons alone, if calculated according to the merits of the Demon Suppression Division, would be enough for him to be promoted to a two-star Demon Suppression Guard.

Song Yue sighed:"He is really a young genius. He has achieved such an achievement at the age of only 20. It is a waste to live in a mountain town."

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lu Ren and asked,"Are you interested in joining my personal army? Together with Fang Ling and others, go into battle to kill the enemy and guard the territory."

Song Yue's eyes were filled with anticipation.

At the same time, Fang Ling also gave Lu Ren a look, signaling him to agree quickly.

The governor's personal army is an elite force in Tianchen Prefecture second only to the Tiger and Leopard Camp under the governor.

The selection criteria are very harsh, and many veterans with outstanding military exploits have been eliminated.

Of course, correspondingly, the treatment of the personal army is several times better than that of ordinary troops.

In the words of the governor, the best war horses should be fed with the best food and grass.

This personal army has performed brilliantly in many battles to resist foreign enemies and hunt monsters, and is not inferior to the group of ruthless people in the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

Song Yue's personal invitation shows how much he values Lu Ren.

However, Lu Ren decisively refused.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Governor, but I like to be alone and don't want to be bound by the rules of the army.

Fang Ling was a little anxious.

To be appreciated by the Governor, this is what the young talents of Chenzhou have dreamed of for many days?

Lu Ren actually rejected it so easily?

"Lu Ren, please think about it carefully.

Fang Ling tried to persuade him to take back what he had just said.

Song Yue was not angry at all, but his appreciation in his eyes became stronger.

"Since you don't want to, I won't force you. If I'm not mistaken, you want to join the Demon Suppression Division, right?"

Lu Ren nodded:"Governor, please understand."

"The Demon Suppression Division has an independent status. I cannot intervene. You can only fight for it yourself."

Speaking of this, Song Yue took out a waist badge with the word"Song" engraved on it and handed it to Lu Ren through Fang Ling.

"There is a base of the Demon Suppression Division in Shanyin County, and every six months a Demon Suppression Guard will take turns to guard it. You take this token to find him. With your ability, it is not difficult to join the Demon Suppression Division."

Lu Ren's expression became serious, and he bowed his hands to thank him:"Thank you, Governor."

Song Yue smiled and said:"Whether it is the army or the Demon Suppression Division, they are all talents who can make achievements for our dynasty. There is no difference."

Although his tone was relatively indifferent, he could not hide a hint of regret in the depths of his eyes.

The appeal of the Demon Suppression Division to young talents is as strong as ever.

It is really hard to grab it........
