Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After Lin Wu walked out, Gu Yan closed his eyes and leaned on the front seat, thinking carefully about whether he had left anything behind.

After a moment, Gu Yan suddenly realized that Su Zhaoyue and the others were still there. He immediately opened his eyes and said to Su Zhaoyue and the others.

"Zhao Yue, you and Ling'er should go back to the Commander's Mansion first. If you finish your work early today, I will go back earlier."

Su Zhaoyue nodded, pulled Dugu Ling, who looked worried, out of the Demon Slayer Division and returned directly to the Commander's Mansion.

After seeing the two people leaving, Gu Yan said to Bai Hu beside him

"Bai Hu, you secretly send someone to check on Xia Kong. He is too attentive to Xiao Changsheng. If the Xiao family is really the mastermind behind the scenes, someone from the official government must have taken action to cover him up. Otherwise, even with his extraordinary cultivation, he will not be able to escape the attention of the court. "

Bai Hu nodded, followed the order and walked out.

Gu Yan continued to close his eyes, leaning on the chair and thinking about things.

Two hours later, Lin Xi, who was outside investigating all the affairs of the Lu family, returned to the Demon Slaying Department. When he came to the main hall, he bowed to Gu Yan.

"Sir, I'm back"

Gu Yan put down his hand, and said with a smile, the information on the evil spirits that appeared in Jiangnan County in the past two days.

"It's been a hard time, has your brother told you?"

Lin Xi said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Well, my brother told me everything."

Obviously, Lin Xi is also a little worried about the opponent Xiao family.

After all, the Xiao family is too powerful. Although Xiao Changsheng is old and decrepit, he was still the tenth on the Heavenly Ranking. Although he has retreated due to the decline of Qi and blood, he is still not comparable to Hong Xingqing and others.

The terrifying strength of the Xiao family in Anzhou is far beyond what the elders and worshipers of the Hongding Chamber of Commerce can match.

"Take back all the brothers, select some loyal and shrewd brothers, and check the Xiao family. Be careful not to be discovered."

After receiving the order, Lin Xi bowed and walked out. It concerned the Xiao family and he could not tolerate his carelessness. He had to carefully screen the spies.

After Gu Yan arranged all the information about Yaoxie and the demon slayers who were on the mission, the sky had already darkened.

After asking the deacon to deliver his arrangements to the mission hall, Gu Yan leaned on his chair and pinched his brows tiredly.

After adjusting his mentality, Gu Yan left the Demon Slayer Division and went to a well-known restaurant. He packed some signature wine and food in a large food box, and then walked to the Commander's Mansion.

When the guard at the door saw Gu Yan, he bowed respectfully.

"grown ups"

Gu Yan nodded and threw a bottle of wine to each of them.

"Thanks for your hard work"

Such a small gesture made the eyes of the two guards slightly red. They were guarding the Commander's Mansion in the wind and sun, and had met several commanders who served in Jiangnan County.

This was the first time that a commander valued them so much and even brought them wine. I was deeply moved.

The reason why he can bring wine is not because Gu Yan is good at scheming, but because he also climbed up from the bottom and knows how hard everyone works.

If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Scripture, he would probably still be a Xuan-level demon-slayer, maybe still working as a servant in Chunfeng County, or maybe he would die in the hands of the Five Elements Evil Lord

After returning to the house, Gu Yan noticed that the two of them were practicing, and slightly released a breath to let them know that he was back.

After Su Zhaoyue and Dugu Ling noticed Gu Yan's aura, they withdrew from the cultivation state at the same time.

When the two came to Gu Yan, Gu Yan had already laid out the food and drinks.

Gu Yan looked at the two of them and said with a smile

"Come on, I often serve the dishes of this restaurant. I heard from Bai Hu that this restaurant has been open for decades and is very famous in Jiangnan County."

Duguling took the chopsticks handed over by Gu Yan, picked up a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into his mouth

"It's okay, a little worse than Sister Zhaoyue's cooking."

Gu Yan looked at Su Zhaoyue with some surprise. He didn't expect that this world-famous sword fairy could actually cook well.

Su Zhaoyue looked at the surprised Gu Yan and smiled slightly.

"Aren't you surprised? I will personally cook tomorrow and make you a sumptuous meal."

Gu Yan nodded, put his hand across the bridge of his nose, and said

"No wonder Ling'er grew up so fast, it's even reached my nose. It turns out it's all your fault."

The little girl's mouth was full, and she didn't forget to say

"Hey, in a while, I will be as tall as my brother."

The three of them hadn't seen each other for several years, and they chatted until very late. Gu Yan told them about his experiences during this period, and also learned about the situation of Dugu Ling and Su Zhaoyue during this period.

What makes Gu Yan the happiest is that Dugu Ling no longer plans to join the Demon Slayer Division.

Because she discovered that in the Su family in Huaizhou, she could also kill demons, and she did not need to be controlled by the Demon Slayer Department. If Gu Yan needed it in the future, she could take action at any time.

The little girl has recently become quite famous in Huaizhou, because she always wears red clothes, and the people in Huaizhou call her the Red Lian Swordsman.

Gu Yan raised his head and looked at the sky, drank the wine in the glass, stood up and said

"It's getting late. Let's stop here today. Linger, don't practice tonight, have a good sleep."

Duguling burped, wiped his mouth, and said casually

"Oh, I got it, I got it"

Gu Yan had always doted on her and gave her all the sword techniques, hidden weapons and other things he had collected over the years.

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he went directly back to the training room and started practicing day after day.

Dugu Ling looked at Gu Yan's back. After it disappeared from his eyes, the casual smile on his face gradually disappeared and was filled with worry.

"Sister Zhaoyue, my brother's life is like dancing on the tip of a knife. Do you think he can make it to the end of this scene?"

Su Zhaoyue touched Dugu Ling's head and said

"Brother Gu carries the safety of the people of the county, the hope and future of his brothers, and the people around him. He is too tired from this journey. All you have to do is practice well. I will bear some responsibility for him in the future.”

Duguling shook his head

"My brother is too strong. He just wants to protect everyone behind him and block all the wind and rain. By the way, let's go to the Imperial Capital after a while. Sister Qingshang will be bored in the Imperial Capital by herself."

At this time, in the Gu Mansion in the imperial capital, Lin Qingshang was listening to the maid telling what happened in Yinshan County. His hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and his joints were turning white.

The next morning, Gu Yan arrived at the Demon Slayer Division early. As soon as he entered the hall, Bai Hu hurried over.

"Sir, there is an urgent report from Zhang Xiu. They found someone refining corpses in the north of Ligu City, near the Canglan River. They refined a large number of zombies, and there are two zombies from the fifth realm. They are secretly following them."

When Gu Yan heard Bai Hu's words, he immediately sat up straight and said

"Immediately gather the troops and follow me to Ligu, that's not right."

Gu Yan suddenly thought of something and continued

"If I go there rashly, I will definitely be noticed by the Xiao family and hide all the clues. Please wait a moment."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, he pressed the seal with his hand, activated the formation, and called the Demon Slayer Department of the Imperial Capital East City.
