Demolition

"Three thousand in the southwest direction."

"so much?"

"I rely on!"

"Can I go home and sleep tonight?"

"I'm on duty tomorrow!"

"Then it's time for you to write the report."

"Yes..." "Agreed..." "Second..."

The five figures gradually melted into the night, and their voices were covered by a fluttering sound.Two black clouds floated from nowhere and covered the crescent moon impartially, not even the slightest bit of light came through.

"Tonight is really evil, there is no light at all."

"The moon is dark and the wind is high and the murderous night is high, isn't it just right for the occasion?"

"Shh."

After a moment of silence, the five of them stopped, found a few trees nearby, and climbed up vigorously.

"I'm a little scared."

Everyone was holding their breath, when suddenly a faint voice came from behind their ears, so frightened that the person in front almost fell off the branch, and the person speaking frantically picked him up.

"Ye Ji! You're crazy! If you scare me to death, you can take my bonus!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the man named Ye Ji apologized hurriedly.

"What did you come to my place? If the boss finds out, you will be scolded again."

"I'm really scared. There's no light at all, and I can't see anything. Aren't you afraid, Xiaoya? I heard from my grandma that the moonless night is the most cloudy. It is rumored that there is a woman..."

"Shut up!" The man called Xiao Ye couldn't bear it any longer, "Can you stop listening to storytelling with the old lady every day?"

"I……"

Covering his mouth with a hand interrupted the next words.

The faint voice just now became more and more clear, as if something was beating each other, eager and chaotic.At the other end of the forest, a large black mass appeared and was moving towards them. It was too dark to see what it was, but a strange smell arrived first, as if a piece of rag had been lingering for three days and three nights.When I was young, I didn't know until the thing got closer. It turned out to be a team of thousands of crows. They were close to each other, and they didn't care if their wings hit their companions, and they flew forward with all their strength.

Seeing these things clearly, the man who was still afraid of ghosts rushed out first, and he jumped to another tree canopy in two steps, and drew out a long knife. attention.

"Fool!" Jiang also took a step too late, did not grab him, cursed secretly, and had no choice but to follow.

Ye Ji swung his sword, and the wind of the sword swept away the crows who were leading the battle.However, this does not affect the speed behind at all, not only that, the crows that were originally huddled together tend to disperse

"No, they are going to form a crow array."

Jiang also yelled from behind, took out a silk ribbon and threw it into the air, while reciting the mantra, the ribbon immediately unfolded, and three people hiding in other directions also appeared, one of them grabbed the other end of the ribbon and threw it to the sky. Running in the opposite direction, the other two took out a few knives and flew towards the crows, knocking down two rows of crows.

But this is just a drop in the bucket, the crows unrolled in an orderly manner, the ribbon became more fragile, and the people who were pulling the two ends of the ribbon also tried their best.

The branches were trampled by several people, and the formation of crows also took shape. In the middle of the panic, Ye Ji seemed to see something unusual in the center of the group of crows.It's just that before he can tell, Jiang Ye's ribbon has already wrapped more than half of the crow.

"Ye Ji!"

Ye Ji hurriedly stepped on the branch next to him, guarding the exit of the ribbon.The ribbon was blown violently, Ye Ji drew his knife and slashed at some of the crows, one of them broke its wings in a flash of the knife, and fell down. A gap was opened for the crows, and Jiang also saw the timing and threw a few stones in.

The ribbon finally enveloped the whole group of crows, and the crows struggled inside. The ribbon was like a big cage, and no one could escape.

"Huh..." everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was already late at night, and everyone was exhausted after subduing the group of crows just now, Ye Ji stood aside thoughtfully.

"Hey, Xiao Ji, I leave the report to you."

"Why!" Ye Ji quickly protested when he was hit on the head by this unlucky incident before he could think of anything.

"Didn't you just agree?" the man said with a smile.

"Why are you like this..." Ye Ji still wanted to struggle, but Jiang also came over and patted him on the shoulder

"Okay, that's it. The people from the Ting Wei Department will come to clean up the mess in a while. I don't want to deal with them. Aren't you on duty? And you can see Lu Chen, don't you just want to invite him for a drink?"

"Does he care about this?" Ye Ji asked in surprise

"Come on, he doesn't care who cares?" Jiang Ye waved his hand irritably, "I'm sleepy."

Without waiting for Ye Ji to say anything, he quickly disappeared into the night.The other three people were afraid that Ye Ji would push the matter on themselves, so they ran faster than a rabbit, and the gloomy and chilling atmosphere returned to the surroundings, and Ye Ji's back was shady, so they had no choice but to run forward

"Xiao Ye, wait for me, I'm afraid."

On the second day, in Yangyue city

In the early morning, the fog has not dissipated, the pedestrians are shadowy, and the vendors who sell breakfast have already sold out. The heat is continuous, and there are everything you need, such as dried steamed egg, shrimp dumpling, sausage powder, taro cake, fish ball noodles, and the taste of the food is particularly attractive in the haze. The glutton in the stomach instructs passers-by to stop.But there was one person who stood unmoved by the miscellaneous smells and sounds, and his face could not be seen clearly in the blur, but just looking at the outline, one could see that he was slender and stretched, thin but not weak, slender but not wimpy.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, and he had been standing there for more than a moment. Although the enthusiastic hawkers actively recruited passers-by, no one approached this person.

"A Chen!"

There was a shout from the street, it was the man wielding a long knife last night

"leaf."

Those who were waiting greeted him with a smile.

"Have you waited long? It was too late yesterday, and I couldn't get up this morning. Have you eaten yet? Mother made meat buns."

"Thank you." There was no movement in his hand.

Ye Ji didn't care, he just ate it by himself, it was so hot that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Xiao Ye tricked me into writing the report again."

"You still owed the number of words last month. If you don't write more, you won't even get a big one this month. He is doing it for your own good."

The two did not walk along those lively streets, but turned to a secluded place, and only then did the two reveal their true faces.

Ye Ji was flying with a long knife last night, but he looked like a teenager, with soft lines, a smooth chin, bright eyes, a high and plump nose bridge, and slightly drooping corners of his eyes. He looked harmless.And Ah Chen next to him seemed to be about the same age, and his appearance was even more outstanding, with a face like a crown jade, eyes like bright stars, brows sharp, square bones, simple lines but not tough, it was really a first-class appearance.The well-defined eyelashes are clean and neat, coupled with the faint three white eyes, it shows a rational and calm taste.

Far from the hustle and bustle just now, this long street is extraordinarily quiet, even the trees on both sides seem to be motionless. Although people pass by in a hurry, it seems that the two who are slow and eating meat buns are out of place.

"Lord Lu."

Two people in official robes stopped beside them, saluted A Chen respectfully, and Lu Chen returned the salute.

"Master He, Sir Ren."

Without further questioning, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two adults left quickly.

"Why do people from the Ministry of Industry come here?" Ye Ji wondered.

"who knows."

While speaking, he came to the only house on this street. The outside of this house was really ugly, not even a stone lion.

Lu Chen and Ye Ji also stepped in.There is a faded plaque on top of their heads. The words are good, but they are too old to read clearly. Only after careful identification can they see the three big characters in the letter - Yin Xiao Lou.Inside, there is something unique, the five-storey building sits north and faces south, and several small courtyards are connected by corridors. The two entered one of the courtyard gates along the corridor. only then.

There is a huge stone in the garden. Ye Ji put the waist card on it, and saw black and gold words gradually appear on the stone. Lu Chen took out two white papers from nowhere, and with a wave of his hand, the small words jumped from the stone to the paper. After a while, the paper is filled with content.

"Attack people with crows. After breaking the formation, they will be arrested in batches." Lu Chen savored these words.

"Fortunately, I didn't break the white silk yesterday, and I was almost caught by the people from the Wei Wei Department. Last time, I was only fined for three months' salary because I lost a lamp from them."

"You can't even buy the everlasting lamp, okay? It's for your face that I didn't kick you out." Lu Chen taunted while browsing.

"What are the origins of these crows, and why do you have to check them yourself?"

Lu Chen, as Zhi Jinwu, is in charge of the forbidden soldiers and is responsible for the security of the capital. A group of crows attacked the outskirts of the city without causing any casualties. Even if the number is large, there is no need to alarm him. Supervising this matter, I couldn't help but feel weird.

"How would I know? If I had to say to seal their phantom power directly, it would be such a hassle. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. A group of sick crows are worth worrying about."

"Sick crow? How do you say that?"

"I discovered this by myself. These crows don't seem to be able to transform into human forms." Ye Ji lowered his voice and approached Lu Chen's ear mysteriously. The two legs were retracted before wobbling a few times, and after people caught up with them, I never saw a crow trying to transform into a human." Ye Ji looked at Lu Chen quite proudly, but found that the other party was looking at Lu Chen. With a serious face, the smug expression dimmed by half, "I didn't write these, so it shouldn't be a problem, anyway, they are a dead end."

"It's okay, no one can do anything in this prison."

"That's right, I'm most annoyed by that Lao Shizi's report, why don't you let me kill one or two hundred crows."

While talking, the two came to a door. Behind the door was a bottomless corridor, with a faint stench coming from the end.Lu Chen frowned

"Why is it so stinky?"

"It was the same way yesterday, and it almost killed me."

The two walked in a little bit, and the door behind them slammed shut. Lu Chen took out his waist card and waved it casually. The endless aisle just now disappeared before his eyes, replaced by countless stacked cages filled with The crows, the eerie green light on their wings made the air eerie.

This is actually the cell where the crow is held.

"Master Zhijinwu." A crooked figure walked through the darkness.

Lu Chen gestured to Ye Ji with his eyes, and Ye Ji chatted with the cell manager clearly, while Lu Chen walked into the iron cages to observe carefully.There is no difference in appearance from ordinary crows. When a crow transforms into a human form, its mana is weakened, so the best way for crows in groups to attack is to form a crow formation.It's just that the night is coming, why use the prototype to startle the snake, not to mention Ye Jijiang and five people last night, if they really form a crow formation, things will not be so easy.Can't they really take human form?

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Lu Chen pulled off a handful of crow's feathers, and the crow howled loudly because of the pain, causing another wave of noise.

"Are you going to be on duty today?" Lu Chen asked nonchalantly, hiding the feather in his sleeve

"Yes."

"Then you go first, I'll be watching here."

"That's kind, I'm counting on you, Chen. By the way, are you free today? Let's go have a drink."

"it is good."

Ye Ji left satisfied. Lu Chen couldn't stand the stench in the room, so he turned around and went out, led by the manager to a small room.He nodded to signal the other party to leave, and when the door was closed, he took out a paper crane from his waist, held the feather he had just plucked in his beak, and blew lightly, and the paper crane slowly came out of the row next to the beam. The air flew out.
