Volume Two Feng Qi Anxi House Chapter 182 Changes in Attitude
I was sleeping well, but I didn't expect to be disturbed and wake up. After walking so far, Lu Jiuzhang was not sleepy anymore.
One person and one dog simply took advantage of the darkness and hurried on their way.
Several people have an indescribable feeling about the mountains in northern Xinjiang.
This place is not a good place.
But the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity.
Just those two monster beast corpses could be sold for a lot of money.
Moreover, Lu Jiuzhang has been dismissed from his post and is no longer a member of the Demon Slayer Division.
The money from the sale of this monster does not need to be turned over to the Monster Slayer Division, Lu Jiuzhang can get it all alone.
We walked forward again, one person and one dog walking like this.
Under the night, the full moon hung high, and the entire northern Xinjiang mountains were shrouded in a faint halo.
…
About a hundred kilometers away from Lu Jiuzhang, the people from the Demon Slayer Division of Anxi Prefecture set up camp here.
They were not afraid of the large army marching and made fires to cook as if they were in the ordinary wilderness.
There are people patrolling around and are always vigilant.
The center of the camp is Director Xu’s tent.
"Report to Director Xu, a secret message from Anxi Mansion has arrived."
A handyman handed the secret message to Director Xu.
Opening the secret letter, there was Prefect Xu's handwriting inside.
[Director Xu, my brother, will the demon suppression be successful? After the mission is completed, I will return to Anxi Mansion. I will have a big banquet to celebrate my brother’s triumphant victory...]
The content of the letter was basically just pleasantries and did not get to the main topic.
Director Xu looked at his confidant, "The other party only sent a secret letter?"
"Returning to Director Xu, the person I contacted told me that Governor Xu personally said that the realm of Confucianism is mysterious and unpredictable. It is best not to have his name or trade name in the letter, as the other party will sense it."
"Prefect Xu said that Master Xu is said to be upright and upright by outsiders, but in his opinion, he is nothing but selfish. He is not willing to help even his clan members, let alone Director Xu."
"Don't worry about Master Xu. Although he is the Imperial Master, he has no real power in the court. Even if you kill Lu Jiuzhang, Master Xu will not do anything to you."
"After all, you are an official of the imperial court and a member of the Demon Slayer System. You are not under the control of Master Xu."
"Prefect Xu and you are advancing and retreating together. We will both prosper and suffer together."
The boy reported.
"Haha, you are really using me as a gun."
Director Xu sneered.
It is true that Master Xu has no real power, but how can he easily offend the famous people around the new emperor?
But Prefect Xu is right. Since Master Xu is like this, there is no need to cling to him anymore.
Just ignore Lu Jiuzhang.
"Go and tell Prefect Xu's people that this matter has nothing to do with me. I will no longer care. If they want to kill Lu Jiuzhang, they will do it themselves without looking for me." Director Xu said, "In addition, if Lu Jiuzhang can return to the Demon Slayer Division,
, we welcome you.”
"If we can't come back, there's no need for us to force it."
Master Xu has no real power and is unwilling to help people of his own clan. In the eyes of Director Xu, he has no value.
Therefore, Director Xu's attitude towards Lu Jiuzhang is definitely not as good as before.
"Also, didn't you send someone to protect Lu Jiuzhang before? Call those three warriors back as well."
Director Xu added.
"clear!"
The confidant boy nodded and then exited the camp.
Chen Xuanfeng's tent was originally next to Director Xu.
At this time, before Chen Xuanfeng could rest, someone came over.
"Director Chen, there are too many mosquitoes here. Director Xu has arranged another tent for you. You can go there to rest."
A boy came over and reported.
"Another place? Where?"
Chen Xuanfeng was curious.
"No need to ask, Director Chen, just follow me."
The boy brought Chen Xuanfeng to the edge of the camp.
The director and deputy director of the county demon slaying department basically rest here.
Got it!
Chen Xuanfeng understood that Lu Jiuzhang was no longer favored, so his status had also declined and he was no longer worthy of being by Director Xu's side.
This man is so realistic!
Chen Xuanfeng sighed with emotion.
In fact, it doesn't matter where he lives, he just hopes that Lu Jiuzhang can be safe.
In the mountains of northern Xinjiang, where monsters gather, it is too dangerous to act alone.
…
In the tent at the center of the camp, Director Xu had mixed feelings in his heart.
He still didn't know about Master Xu entering the Inspectorate to supervise the officials. Otherwise, his attitude would definitely change again.
"Back to Director Xu, Chen Xuanfeng has been placed at the edge of the camp."
Xiaosihui reports.
"Well done. Let's take a rest early. We will continue to fight monsters tomorrow morning."
Director Xu looked at the map in the tent.
We are already approaching the core area of the mountains in northern Xinjiang.
The monsters here are stronger.
But at the same time, they will also join up with the Demon Slayer Divisions from other provinces and advance together.
By then, experts from Beilu County will be sent over.
The purpose of this trip is to wipe out the powerful monsters in the mountains of northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.
As the deputy director of Fucheng's Demon Slaying Department, Director Xu has far-reaching vision.
The powerful monsters in the mountains of northern Xinjiang are too threatening and must be killed.
But those weak monsters don't have this need.
Once all the monsters are wiped out, why is there any need for the Monster Slayer Division to exist?
It is precisely because of the existence of monsters that the Monster Slayer Division exists.
This is where Director Xu can display his talents.
Just like fishing, the gaps between fishing nets must be controlled within an appropriate range.
If the gaps in the fishing net are too large, big fish will escape.
The gaps between the fishing nets are too small. This is a dead net. All the fry are caught, and there are no more fish in this water area.
After we meet together tomorrow, we can start the final battle, and all the powerful monsters in the mountains of northern Xinjiang should be wiped out.
You should be able to return home in three days at most.
…
After traveling all night, around early in the morning, Lu Jiuzhang saw the tent of the Demon Slayer Department of Anxi Prefecture from a distance.
This proves that they should not be far from the Demon Slayer Division.
"Tap tap tap..."
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
Lu Jiuzhang and the big black dog turned around at the same time and found three warriors following behind them.
The first one is at the seventh level of martial arts, and the remaining two are all at the eighth level of martial arts.
"Mr. Lu, wait a moment."
The three warriors jumped a few times and appeared in front of Lu Jiuzhang.
"A person from the Demon Slayer Division?"
Looking at the three people in front of him, Lu Jiuzhang was slightly confused.
"Mr. Lu, the three of us have been following you for the past two days, keeping a certain distance from you to protect your safety." The leader of the seventh-level warrior said.
"Thank you very much!"
Although in Lu Jiuzhang's eyes, there was no difference between whether they helped or not, Lu Jiuzhang still bowed and thanked him.
"What I said is not to thank you. Following Director Xu's instructions, we can no longer protect Mr. Lu and need to return to join the demon hunt." The leader of the seventh-level warrior said, "Director Xu would like to ask Mr. Lu what he can do.
Will you return to serve in the Demon Slayer Division?"
"Don't go!"
Lu Jiuzhang shook his head.
If you want to be removed from your post, you can be removed from your post. If you want to go back, then you can go back?
Lu Jiuzhang is not such a casual person.
"Okay, let's go, Mr. Lu, take care."
After saying these words, the three warriors left directly and headed towards the base camp of the Demon Slayer Division in Anxi Prefecture.
When the three of them were far away, the big black dog asked doubtfully, "Jiu Ye, what do you mean? Director Xu was not on the verge of death before, so he wanted you to return to the Demon Slayer Division?"
"How come your attitude changes so quickly now?"
According to Big Black Dog's understanding, Director Xu should increase his efforts in the past few days and invite Lu Jiuzhang back to the Demon Slaying Department.
After all, the longer things get delayed, the more troublesome they become.
"I don't know, but the reason why they did this must be related to our division."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
The reason is very simple. The reason why the other party invited me to return to the Demon Slayer Division with a sincere attitude was because Lu Jiuzhang's teacher was the great scholar Xu Shi.
The other party's attitude changed again, and it must be because of Master Xu.
With Master Xu here, you have face, but without Master Xu there is no need to be polite to yourself.
"Then what happened to your great Confucian teacher? Could it be that he had a fart?" asked the big black dog, "otherwise, how could his attitude be so good?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Jiuzhang glared at the big black dog.
This big black dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, and what it says is too much to deserve a beating.
After scolding the big black dog, Lu Jiuzhang said, "When Master Xu and I parted that day, Master Xu was still in good spirits. Nothing should happen in such a short period of time."
"Besides, if Master Xu is really dead and leaves, the other party might have already started to deal with us."
"After all, a dead person doesn't have much influence. It's better to please Taishou Xu and stand in the same camp as Taishou Xu."
Lu Jiuzhang's analysis was sound and well-founded, and even the big black dog couldn't find fault with it. He was just confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Then what happened to your cheap teacher?" asked the big black dog.
"How do I know? I'm not a fortune teller."
Lu Jiuzhang slapped the big black dog on the head, "Why are you talking so much now? Keep on going."
"Oh!" The big black dog could only nod, followed Lu Jiuzhang, and continued moving forward.
The relationship between Lu Jiuzhang and Master Xu is both prosperous and destructive.
This is normal, as long as you have a relationship with a big shot or a big family, it will happen.
Just like Zhong Zhengming, the previous director of Changshui County, the ancestor of the Zhong family was ambushed and died.
The entire Zhong family tree fell and scattered, and the children of the Zhong family who originally held important positions were hunted down to varying degrees.
The more important the person is, the more enemies the family has.
One careless move and you lose everything.
If you follow the big shots and enjoy the shadow of the big shots, you have to bear certain consequences.
Lu Jiuzhang and the big black dog walked until they were about ten kilometers away from the Anxi Prefecture Demon Slayer Division before stopping.
The distance should not be too close. Just follow them. It will be safer and you don't have to be vigilant all the time.
Ahead, the people from Anxi Prefecture's Demon Slaying Division have begun to set off.
Lu Jiuzhang and the big black dog rested for a while and continued to follow them.
Along the way, I didn't encounter a single monster.
It wasn't until ten minutes past noon that the large army stopped.
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang saw that there were three forces gathered in the valley, and there were quite a few of them.
In Beilu County, there are three prefectures closest to the mountains of Beijiang.
These three mansions gathered together today to jointly deal with the monsters in the mountains of northern Xinjiang.
It seems they have big plans.
"Master Jiu, do you think we can pick up the pieces if we are among them?" the big black dog asked.
