Imperial Demon Slayer Division

Gu Yan led 300 demon-slaying envoys in black armor, galloping on the official road, with smoke and dust billowing behind them.

Originally, the demon slayer did not have black armor when he went out on a mission.

Just because two hundred years ago, the demon-slaying god general Lian Zhongtai, after serving as the governor of Huangzhou, formed a cavalry army composed of demon-slaying envoys.

The demon slayers of that army were not like those from other states, who were holding demon slaying swords and wearing official uniforms. Instead, they were cavalrymen holding a mo sword and wearing black armor.

This cavalry caused heavy damage to the demons on the border, so Emperor Qin ordered the Ministry of Industry and Military Affairs to equip the demon-slaying divisions in all states, counties, and counties with black armor.

As for the Mo Dao's casting materials, which are too valuable, the empire is not yet wealthy enough to do so, so it only equips some demon-slaying divisions in Huangzhou.

Although the Emperor of Qin was aggressive in military affairs when he was young, he really defeated the evil spirits and created a stable life for decades.

Pedestrians on the road could hear the thunderous sound of horse hooves from far away

Looking back, I saw a black dragon flag dancing wildly in the wind in the distance.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, the ground began to tremble. The pedestrians finally saw the big flag clearly and quickly retreated to the roadside.

A group of three hundred riders were like dragons passing by, and the strong wind almost knocked pedestrians to the ground.

After five days of traveling under the stars and the moon, Jiebei County is finally in sight.

The northwest of Liaozhou is boundless desert, and the tall bluestone city walls are dyed gray-yellow under the year-round sandstorms.

This city wall full of vicissitudes of life tells the travelers passing by about the desolation of the northwest.

The soldiers at the city gate saw the billowing smoke from a long way away and immediately closed the city gate.

The deputy general on the city wall saw an army approaching rapidly in the distance. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows, ready to release arrows at any time.

Gu Yan, who was three hundred feet away, saw the movements of the soldiers on the city wall. He moved slightly, disappeared on his horse, and appeared on the city wall in an instant.

His pupils narrowed sharply because he saw Gu Yan appeared behind him

Gu Yan took out the token and said

"General, please ask someone to open the door. The Demon Slayer Department has a mission."

General Pian frowned and looked at him and said

"Where are you from the Demon Slayer Division? What mission do you have? Why didn't the Demon Slayer Division in the North City of our realm receive any news?"

Gu Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He was very fast. If the remnants of the Hongding Chamber of Commerce in the city noticed something was wrong and took the opportunity to run away, it would be bad.

The news of Hong Xingqing's murder has not yet spread, but who knows if there is a formation between them to send messages to each other?

If they run away, it doesn't matter if Gu Yan can't get any benefits. If there isn't enough money to dig the canal, there will be a big problem.

The demon-slaying sword on Gu Yan's waist was instantly unsheathed, placed on the general's neck, and said in a cold voice

"Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly, or I will kill you."

The general was directly angered by Gu Yan and said loudly

"You dare? If you kill me, aren't you afraid that the state will punish you?"

Gu Yan sneered.

"I came here under orders. If you close the city gate to prevent the Demon Slayer Division from carrying out its mission, I will kill you and no one can say anything.

Besides, you rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs still want to stop me? I have so many masters under my command that it only takes a matter of seconds to defeat the city, so I advise you not to make the mistake of making a mistake."

Looking at the demon slayers below the city who had already drawn their swords, feeling the murderous aura erupting from their bodies, he knew that what Gu Yan said was true.

These murderous demon-slayers are beyond the reach of ordinary armies like them. If a fight really breaks out, these soldiers under his command will be nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered.

The general glared at Gu Yan and said bitterly

"Open the door!"

The soldiers inside the city gate immediately opened the gate and let in the demon slayers outside.

Gu Yan put the knife back into its scabbard and said softly:

"General, the mission is urgent, I offended you."

Then with a gentle tap of his feet, he landed on his horse and led everyone from the Demon Slayer Division straight to the location of the Hongding Chamber of Commerce.

A captain behind the general said with a face full of unwillingness.

"General, did you let them in so easily?"

He slapped him on the face and shouted angrily

"What else do you want from me? Didn't you see that man put the knife on my neck? Why the hell did you ask me to get involved in the Demon Slayer Division? Do you really want me to die? Are you so eager to sit on my side? Location?"

The captain's words were ill-timed, and he unfortunately became the general's punching bag.

After Gu Yan and others rushed to the city, the Jiebei County Demon Slayer Division also received the news.

In the main hall, Haoyun, the commander of Jiebei County, murmured with a gloomy expression.

"Why did the people from Yinshan County travel a long distance to our North County to perform tasks? And so many demon slayers were dispatched. Could it be that something happened?"

Haoyun suddenly remembered the news that came out in Liaozhou City some time ago. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the deacon in front of him who sent him the news and said

"Gather your troops immediately and follow me to take a look."

The deacon bowed, then bowed and left.

"Yes"

Haoyun looked outside the hall with a gloomy expression.

"I'm tired of running to my northern county to grab things."

After Gu Yan led people to the Hongding Chamber of Commerce, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bustling scene inside the chamber of commerce.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of demon-slayers came out behind him and blocked all the exits of the chamber of commerce, leaving only the main entrance where Gu Yan was.

Seeing this, the steward inside quickly ran over and asked

"Sir, what's going on? Why are the chambers of commerce surrounded? We operate with integrity and have never sold fake goods, nor have we ever sold anything over eighty taels."

Jiebei County is far away, and they don't know what is happening in Liaozhou City.

Gu Yan glanced at him, and then said loudly to the chamber of commerce:

"Listen to the people inside. Anyone who is not from the Hongding Chamber of Commerce must come out to me. After a stick of incense, all the people inside will be killed."

When the steward heard Gu Yan's words, he was shocked to death.

"Sir, what did we do wrong? Why did we do this?"

Gu Yan looked at him and sneered.

"Hong Xingqing secretly colluded with evil spirits and was killed on the spot."

When the steward heard Gu Yan's words, he fell to the ground with a pale face. Collusion with evil spirits was the most serious crime in the Qin Law, and they all had to die.

In just half the time it took to burn the incense, everyone in the Chamber of Commerce ran out.

After Gu Yan saw the person leaving, he uttered one word:

"kill!"

The demon-slayers behind him all rushed into the chamber of commerce like arrows. For a moment, the chamber of commerce was filled with screams. The luxurious chamber of commerce was dyed bright red with blood in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yan didn't soften his heart because of their screams. Qin Lu was like this, and he couldn't change anything, and he wouldn't change anything.

Although these people were wronged, if Hong Xingqing succeeds, then hundreds of millions of people in Huangzhou will be wronged even more. Who will they go to collect debts from?

The demon slayers acted very quickly, but in just one stick of incense, everyone was killed.

"Remove all the elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, gold and other valuables inside, and let the government distribute the remaining daily necessities to the poor people."
