Although everyone wants to read and hear books, especially to hear about their own heroic deeds, Qin Shaoyou still has to make the decision on this matter.
If Qin Shaoyou doesn't agree, it's useless no matter how excited they are.
So after several small flag officers gathered around Zhu Xiucai and asked curiously, they all turned their attention to Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou did not disappoint them. After pondering for a while, he said with a smile: "The scholar takes the initiative to treat guests, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so naturally he has to satisfy him once. And the scholar just said something well, work really needs to be a balance between work and rest.
That's good. In the past few days, the brothers have been fighting bloody battles, and their bodies and minds have been tense. Now that the evil mood has eased, it's time for them to relax."
In addition to wanting his men to relax, Qin Shaoyou also felt that letting the night watchmen listen to their own stories would also cultivate their sense of honor and responsibility.
At the same time, you can mingle with the people in the city.
Of course, it's not the kind of attack that involves using a manual knife...
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou agreed, several small flag officers were very happy and started a discussion to see which people should be left to look after the house. In addition, people had to be arranged for patrol tasks.
You can't ask the Demon Suppression Department to stop operating just because Zhu Xiucai wants to treat guests.
"Okay, I'll stay and look after the house."
Qin Shaoyou took the initiative to express his position, but was unanimously opposed by several small flag officials:
"No, sir, you must go today."
"Yes, sir, if you don't go, we won't feel at ease listening to this story."
"Yes, sir, the brothers will be happier only if you go."
After some discussion, it was finally decided that Monk Ma was left to look after the family. He originally did not value false reputations and the like, and felt that going to Goulanwasi to listen to books was not as meaningful as going to the Sand Dance Hall to persuade people to behave.
In addition to the horse monk, there are several parades, shackles, and twenty strong men who need to stay.
Some of them are responsible for staying behind to look after the house, while others are responsible for patrolling the city.
Although Qingji helped, they couldn't just stay at home and wait for news.
In order to make up for the regrets of these people, Qin Shaoyou announced in public that Zhu Xiucai had invited guests to listen to books, and then added: "Brothers who did not go today, don't worry, it will be your turn tomorrow, and you can still hear more later
I will come back and spoil the story for the brothers who went there today."
After hearing this, the night watchmen who were arranged to stay on duty today lost all resentment and even joked with their colleagues who were going to go today.
Zhu Xiucai's expression changed slightly, he leaned into Qin Shaoyou's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sir, who is going to treat you tomorrow?"
Qin Shaoyou glanced at him and said with a suppressed smile: "Of course it's you. Why, you want to invite only today's guests but not tomorrow's guests? I don't care, I'm just afraid that everyone will be dissatisfied."
"This..." Zhu Xiucai glanced at the cheerful night watchman, and finally sighed and said, "Then I'd better invite you."
He was afraid that if he didn't invite him, he would anger the twenty or so people on duty today.
Although it would not be necessary to shoot cold arrows at him on the battlefield, it would still be difficult to stumble him on a daily basis.
I don't know why, but Qin Shaoyou felt very happy when he saw Zhu Xiucai was defeated.
He raised his hand and patted Zhu Xiucai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Stop crying and looking sad. Just write everyone's stories into a storybook. It's good if they don't ask you for portrait fees."
His own superiors had said so, so what else could Zhu Xiucai do? He could only be submissive.
But in his heart he was muttering: Portrait fee? What is portrait fee?
The night watchmen quickly gathered together and followed Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others to Goulan House.
What people didn't expect was that Qiurong, who had never stepped out of the Demon Suppression Division since she came to the Demon Suppression Division, actually wanted to follow.
She held an umbrella and followed the team from a distance, looking like she wanted to go but felt a little embarrassed.
When Zhu Xiucai turned around to greet everyone, he saw her and was startled.
Zhu Xiucai had no problem with Qiurong wanting to follow him to listen to books.
With so many people invited, one more person...well, one more ghost doesn't matter.
I just wonder if Qiurong will scare people if she goes there?
Zhu Xiucai thought of this, looked at it carefully, and found that after so many days of nourishment with the Qi-Entraining Array, and practicing with Cui Youwei, Qiurong was not only able to condense the spirit body more stably, but also restrain the ghost energy.
As long as ordinary people don't touch her, they won't know that she is a ghost.
Moreover, Qiurong wore a veil, which made her bitten face invisible.
The only thing that makes people feel weird is that Qiurong is always holding an umbrella and wearing a red wedding dress.
Who in the right mind would run around in a red wedding dress?
However, Qin Shaoyou thought about it and found that this problem is not big.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Demon Suppression Division is originally a place full of mystery. The people here have some strange clothes and behaviors, which are understandable.
Moreover, Qiurong hasn't left home yet since she arrived at the Demon Suppression Division. It's a good idea to let her relax with her, and maybe it can help her regain some happiness.
Zhu Xiucai thought of this and waved to Qiurong, gesturing for her to follow him quickly.
When Qin Shaoyou saw this, he turned around and waved to Qiurong with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Qiurong immediately followed the team quickly.
Although she couldn't see the expression on her face because she was wearing a veil, it could be seen from her brisk movements that she was in a very good mood at this moment.
She is very happy.
The procession passed through the street to transfer property, and under the curious gaze of many people, they arrived at Goulan Wasi.
Zhu Xiucai had obviously made arrangements a long time ago and led everyone directly to a tile house with the best business.
The business of this store is very good, not only is it full of people, there are even many people standing.
Qin Shaoyou, who saw this scene, secretly exclaimed: "Good guy, business is so good that you are selling station tickets?"
Just when the night watchers thought they were going to stand and listen to the book, a tea doctor came out and led everyone to the seats that had been reserved early.
When the customers in the store saw the night watchman arriving, they were stunned for a moment, and then they cheered loudly.
The sudden shouting startled the night watchmen.
Even some nervous night watchmen immediately touched the sabers on their waists and stared at the surroundings with squinted eyes.
This reaction not only did not scare the customers in the store, but instead made their cheers louder.
The night watchmen also discovered at this time that there were no customers in the tile house, but they were still giving them thumbs up and shouting "Heroes".
The eyes of the common people are sharp.
Ever since a new member of the Mianyuan County Demon Suppression Department was hired and a severe crackdown was launched, the demon situation in the city has been under control.
Apart from anything else, before the crackdown was launched, all they were thinking about was how to survive the evil spirits at night and how to survive. How could they find the time to listen to books and music in the tiles?
Perhaps in the past, ordinary people did not think there was anything good about the night watchman, and they were even somewhat prejudiced and afraid of the night watchman because of various folk rumors.
But now, after experiencing the intrusion of demons and ghosts, their ideas have also changed.
Of course, there are also people who are curious about Qiurong, who is wearing a red wedding dress.
But just as Zhu Xiucai thought, although these people were curious, they were not afraid.
First, through the performance of the night watchmen in the past few days, the people in the county have gained trust in them.
Second, ordinary people think that it is normal for a special government agency like the Demon Suppression Division to have some weird people.
After all, even someone as ugly as Zhu Xiucai can become a small flag officer in the Demon Suppression Department. It is not difficult to accept that there are night watchmen who like to run around in red wedding dresses.
The night watchmen were a little uncomfortable with the cheers and applause of the common people at first, but soon they raised their heads and chests, looking happy and proud.
There were bosses in the house who were not short of money. While cheering, they all shouted:
"The money spent on drinks by the heroes of the Demon Suppression Department today will be on my head!"
"Send some cakes to you good men and put them in my account."
"I'll give you one too. If there's anything delicious or delicious to drink, hurry up and serve it to the good guys from the Demon Suppression Department."
When Zhu Xiucai heard these words, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
He immediately wanted to reply with "The boss is awesome" and then agreed.
But before the words were spoken, Qin Shaoyou took the lead and held his hands towards the people who were clamoring for a treat:
"We appreciate the kindness of fellow villagers. But the main reason we came here today is to support our Zhu Xiaoqi. Don't you know it yet? The "Demon Suppression Division Conquering Demons" that you have been listening to these days was written by our Zhu Xiaoqi.
We are also here at his invitation. So today’s guest must be invited by him, otherwise we will not give him face..."
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, he became a little anxious and hurriedly wanted to interrupt and said, 'It doesn't matter if you don't give me face.'
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
An invisible force covered his mouth, making him unable to speak.
This is obviously not a ghost, it can only be...
Zhu Xiucai immediately turned his head and looked at Cui Youhang sitting next to him.
Sure enough, Cui Youyou was making a seal with his hand and didn't stop even if he was discovered. He even smiled proudly at him.
Old man, you are cheating on me! You, an unfilial son, dare to cheat on your father?!
Zhu Xiucai, unable to speak, roared angrily in his heart.
