"I plan to go back to Luocheng before returning to Mianyuan County. Do you have any objections?"
After leaving Jincheng, Qin Shaoyou said to his men while riding on his horse.
He is a superior official, and everyone is a subordinate, so naturally they have no objection to his arrangement, not to mention that everyone also wants to go back to Luocheng.
Sun Xianzong was the first to express his support:
"It's good to go back to Jincheng. When we go back this time, it can be regarded as a return to our hometown in fine clothes. Hey... Xiucai, what do you mean by that sentence? If you don't return home if you are rich, it's like being a thief in the middle of the night or something?"
"Why do you want to be a thief in the middle of the night? If you are uneducated, just don't quote the scriptures randomly! If outsiders hear this, they might laugh at us! That's called not returning home with wealth, just like walking at night in brocade clothes!"
Zhu Xiucai, who had dark circles under his eyes, felt a little unhappy because Sun Xianzong preempted him from making his statement first.
Looking at Zhu Xiucai's current appearance, Qin Shaoyou knew that he had devoted his whole life to Jincheng's entertainment industry in the past two days.
"The meanings are almost the same..." Sun Xianzong said with an awkward smile.
"It's almost the same, but it's a big difference, okay?" Zhu Xiucai said angrily.
Although Sun Xianzong used the wrong allusion, everyone knew what he meant.
Except for Cen Biqing, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu, almost all of them came from the Luocheng Town Demon Division, and even Cui Youyan could be considered half of the Luocheng Town Demon Division.
But now, the official positions of each of them have been improved compared to when they left the Demon Division of Luocheng Town.
This time I returned to the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, put on my new official uniform and paraded around in front of my former colleagues and friends, and was admired by them with envy... That scene, just thinking about it, makes people feel excited and excited.
Even if you have to pay for a meal in the end, it’s worth it!
So they all had no objections to taking a detour to Luocheng, and were even eager to hurry up and go back as soon as possible.
Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu also had no objections. They wanted to go back to Jade Emperor Temple to see how the brothers and sisters who were left behind were doing.
Even Cui Youyou thought so.
Monk Ma was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Old Taoist, didn't you refuse to return to Jade Emperor Temple no matter what you said before? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Zhu Xiucai chuckled: "Monk, why do you need to ask? In the past, there was Master Zhang in the Jade Emperor Temple. The old Taoist was afraid that Master Zhang would hang him up, take off his trousers and beat him when he went back, so he naturally did not dare to go back. Now Master Zhang
Going to the capital means that there are no tigers in the mountains, and he, the monkey, will go back to dominate!"
Not to mention, the pair of sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks under Qin Shaoyou's hands really understand each other very well.
Cui Youwei wanted to go back to Jade Emperor Temple this time. He dared to go back to Jade Emperor Temple, but he saw Master Zhang leaving. He wanted to go back to live out his senior brother's addiction, and by the way, while Master Zhang was away, he went to teach Master Zhang.
seat.
But the thought in his heart was exposed, which made Cui Youhang a little angry.
He scratched his neck and said: "Scholar, what are you talking about? I, Cui, am worthy of my talent. How can I be afraid of that old guy? I used to regard him as my master and give way to him. If I don't give way,
The leader of the Yuhuang Temple, the real person, has already changed his surname to Cui!"
Zhu Xiucai nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you are awesome...if you didn't secretly look at the sky when you said these words, you would be even more awesome."
Qin Shaoyou ignored the pair of live treasures and allowed them to quarrel and fight. He just glanced at Cen Biqing.
Although Cen Biqing is his subordinate, he is Zuo Qianhu's disciple after all, so he needs to be given some face.
However, Cen Biqing was also very considerate and said, "I will follow your master's arrangements. I will go wherever you tell me to go."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: "Since everyone has no objections, let's go back to Luocheng first."
Then he turned around and shouted to Wolong Fengchu at the back of the team: "Xiucai, stop bickering with the old Taoist and go to the front to lead the way."
"As ordered!" Zhu Xiucai responded loudly, shook the reins, and rushed to the front of the team.
On the way back to Luocheng, everyone passed through Pu'an County.
This time when they passed through Pu'an County, it was still early in the day, so they did not enter the city. They just sent the Riyou Shen to inquire about the situation.
Soon the Riyou God returned and reported to Qin Shaoyou on the current situation in Pu'an County.
Zuo Qianhu did not send a new chief flag officer to Pu'an County. Instead, after sending people to verify the situation and assist in the aftermath, he promoted Li Xiaoqi, who had performed well, to chief flag officer, and he was responsible for Pu'an County.
Demon love security.
Li Xiaoqi, the new official, did not disappoint. Following Qin Shaoyou's example, he also launched a "hard crackdown" in Pu'an County.
The biggest demon king in Pu'an County is the Spider Demon Lord entrenched in the Burial Yin Mountain. After the demon lord was captured by Qin Shaoyou, there were only a few sporadic little demons and ghosts in Pu'an County. They were quickly captured and tried. From then on,
Won back some people's hearts and minds.
Generally speaking, the situation here in Pu'an County is gradually recovering and getting better.
Zhu Xiucai said with emotion: "This Li Xiaoqi... No, he should be called General Qi now. His official career is quite good. Not only was he promoted to General Banner, he also took the position of chief officer of the Demon Town Department of a county.
I hope he can wake up and not follow in the footsteps of his predecessor."
Cui Youyou glanced at him and said, "Why, do you envy General Li Qi that he can be in charge of a county?"
Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said: "I am not envious. Following our lord, in the future we will be more than just a general banner? In charge of a county? Who knows, I can also be an official of hundreds of households."
This is the truth.
After only half a year with Qin Shaoyou, he was promoted from a patrol officer to the general banner.
Although this speed of promotion is not as fast as that of Qin Shaoyou, it can be regarded as an arrow that shoots through the clouds.
If we continue to follow Qin Shaoyou and continue to develop like this, becoming an official with hundreds of households will really not be a dream.
And this is not only Zhu Xiucai's idea, but also the group of night watchmen in Mianyuan County think so.
Everyone kept talking and laughing, and they kept walking.
When night fell, they had arrived at the junction of Pu'an County and another county.
Zhu Xiucai, who was leading the way, reported to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, at this point, I'm afraid there's no way to get to a nearby town to stay overnight before night falls. I've looked at the map and there's a mountain temple not far ahead. How about that?
Let’s just go there and spend one night together, right?”
"Okay." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.
For ordinary people, it is definitely better to stay in towns or villages before dark than to stay in temples in the wild.
But they are night watchmen. Not only are they not afraid of monsters coming to their door, they even ask for them.
Soon, under the leadership of Zhu Xiucai, everyone saw a mountain temple.
The temple is not big and has been abandoned for many years. The courtyard is full of weeds.
However, the roof and walls of the temple are in good condition, and it can be regarded as a good shelter from wind and rain.
After arriving at the mountain temple, everyone was divided into several groups without Qin Shaoyou's instructions.
Some are responsible for sweeping the temple halls, looking for firewood, and arranging resting places.
There are those responsible for building traps and security measures inside and outside the temple.
There are also people who feed and water the horses.
Qin Shaoyou put a stick of incense on the damaged mountain god statue in the temple as a reward for staying in the temple.
By the time everyone finished their work, it was completely dark.
The bonfire lit in the main hall and the torches mounted on the temple walls barely dispelled the oppressive darkness all around.
Everyone took out dry food, heated it over the bonfire, and boiled hot water to soak it in and eat it. They couldn't help but miss the days of eating spiritual food.
Some people even turned to look at the dark night outside the palace, thinking to themselves: "I wonder if some demons and ghosts can come here tonight to give everyone a snack?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a slight sound of footsteps came into the mountain temple along with the night wind.
Everyone's spirits suddenly shot up.
Ouch, are there really takeaways coming to your door?
