"You can find this place, so you must have been to the base, right?" Zhang He poured a glass of wine for Lu Ren and handed it to him.
Lu Ren took the glass, nodded, and said,"Your servant said you came to the county government, so I came to see you. I hope I didn't disturb you and County Magistrate Wang from talking about business?"
Zhang He said,"There is no business, just chatting to kill time."
Lu Ren didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:"I saw an emergency distress signal set off in the direction of the county town when I was on Qingfeng Mountain. What happened?"
"So you came here for this........"Zhang He took a sip of wine, then lowered his head and said with great self-blame:"It's all my fault for being too careless."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang He explained,"On my way to the county government office, I happened to see some kids playing in the street.
I thought it was interesting, so I went over to tease them. Unexpectedly, one of the kids took the signal arrow away when I was not paying attention........."
At this point, he pounded his head a few times in annoyance, and continued:
"Before I could stop them, they had already sent out the signal."
"I am to blame for this matter. I was going to report it to the branch office after meeting with County Magistrate Wang and request punishment, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Lu Ren was speechless for a moment.
After all this time, the distress signal was sent by a child by mistake?
It really made him worry for nothing.
Of course, it would be best if there was no emergency.
"I'm relieved that nothing happened." Lu Ren relaxed and drank the wine in his glass.
"Fortunately, the signal was transmitted during the day. You should be the only one who received the signal within a radius of dozens of miles, right?" Zhang He asked anxiously.
"Maybe." Lu Ren said:"But you'd better send a letter to the branch as soon as possible to explain the situation, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles."
"I understand."
Lu Ren stood up and said,"If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"I heard that you are from Shanyin County?"
"Any questions?"
"Nothing, I just want to learn more about the local customs and the distribution of demons."
Lu Ren thought for a moment and said,"Although I am from Shanyin County, I have only been to the county once or twice. The rest of the time I stayed in Yangliu Town, so I don't know much about many things."
After that, he added,"But there is one thing I can tell you, the demons near Yangliu Town have been cleared out by me, so you don't need to pay too much attention to them. However,........"
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Zhang He smiled and said,"But if there is any need in the town, I will help take care of it, you don't have to worry."
Lu Ren nodded gratefully,"Thank you in that case."
The two left the backyard together.
When they arrived at the front hall of the county government, Wang Min was hearing a civil dispute case in the court.
Lu Ren was not interested in these.
And it is said that Wang Min is a good official who is fair and honest and loved by the people.
So he would not question the other party's professional ability at all.
Lu Ren stood at the door and looked at him from a distance. After nodding to each other, they left the county government.
Zhang He followed behind him and asked softly,"It is inevitable to run around in the Demon Suppression Division in the future. It's not easy to come back. Don't you plan to stay a few more days?"
Lu Ren walked forward slowly without speaking.
Zhang He continued,"By the way, if you passed by Qingfeng Mountain, you should have completed your mission, right?"
""Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Zhang He was stunned, his eyes full of surprise.
"It is said that it was a wolf demon in the late stage of spiritual communication. How did you kill it? Can you tell me about it so that I can broaden my horizons?"
Lu Ren was silent for a while, and said concisely and clearly:"I killed it one by one."
Zhang He widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
He naturally knew what such an answer meant. He didn't expect that this young man, who was also a four-star demon-suppressing guard like him, actually had the means to kill a spiritual demon!
With such talent, the future is promising!
Zhang He was going back to the base, while Lu Ren was going to leave the city. After walking together for a short distance, the two separated.
Walking on the street, Lu Ren recalled the scene in the county government just now, and always felt that there was a hint of weirdness.
And.......Zhang He's statement was actually somewhat untenable after careful consideration.
He claimed that the signal arrow was snatched away by a child.
But he clearly went to the county government office to meet and chat with County Magistrate Wang, so why did he carry a distress signal with him?
Even if we don't talk about the rationality of this behavior for the time being.
Then, as a four-star demon-suppressing guard, he has hunted at least two hands of demons, so he must have the most basic alertness and reaction ability, right? How could a martial artist who has experienced hundreds of battles in the late stage of the initial sense be robbed of his belongings by a powerless little brat?
Lu Ren did not choose to confront him in person at first, but it did not mean that he had no doubts about the matter.
And even if Zhang He really neglected it for a moment, causing the things to be snatched away by the little brat, with his skills, couldn't he take it back in the first place?
Why did he indulge the child to release such an important signal?
Didn't he know how much trouble and misunderstanding this would cause?
The more Lu Ren thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't say where the specific problem was.
If the signal was not sent by mistake, then what was Zhang He's purpose in sending it?
It was definitely not to deliberately attract him here.
After all, no one could know his whereabouts, and Zhang He could never have calculated the timing so accurately to send the signal just when he walked out of Qingfeng Mountain.
As one speculation after another was overturned, Lu Ren felt that the matter became more and more confusing.
Zhang He, what is he hiding?
