In the Demon Suppression Division, the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique is perfected

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

The midday sun penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the body, bringing some warmth to this gradually cool autumn day.

At the urging of a greedy "pet" at home.

Chef Gu, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the house and decided to go out to buy some ingredients.

The rustling autumn wind rolled up a few dead leaves, and the originally bustling streets became a little deserted at this time.

The pedestrians on the road looked hurried, with a nervous look.

As the saying goes, heavy punishments should be used in troubled times.

Since the lieutenant general led the elites of the headquarters to Changle County, he has cut the Gordian knot and launched a "big purge".

Those local tyrants who had colluded with the Zheng family, and the martial artists who had gone to Changle County to avoid the limelight because of their dirty background, were all in bad luck.

For three consecutive days, the captains of the headquarters were arresting people every day.

If they encountered resistance, they were killed on the spot, and their heads were chopped off and hung neatly on the tower.

By now, there are at least 70 or 80 heads!

If it weren't for the fact that the lieutenant general led the team to the Black Wind Mountain to sweep from the fourth day, the number of heads would probably have increased.

Such an iron-blooded and cruel style of action was effective immediately.

Changle County, which was originally in a somewhat turbulent situation, became quiet in an instant.

Not to mention those martial artists who didn't listen to discipline and fought bravely for no reason.

Even those who spit on the street disappeared without a trace.

"I've heard that the Demon Suppression Division headquarters has always been tough and domineering. Now I see that it is indeed well-deserved."

Gu Cheng strolled on the empty street, and the idea of ​​being promoted to the headquarters became stronger and stronger.

However, the problem is... it has been five days.

Why hasn't that damn auditor come to him yet?

Gu Cheng sighed with an unhappy look on his face.

He now has a lot of remaining lifespan, and he also has a top-notch magic skill like "The True Meaning of the Four Spirits".

But because this skill is too advanced, it lacks martial arts for transition.

As a result, he can't practice it at all now, and can only stare at the magic skill and the lifespan of more than 2,000 years.

Just as Gu Cheng was secretly thinking about whether he should go to Zhao Qianhu to ask about the situation today.

"Master Gu! Master Gu!"

Two unfamiliar captains of the Demon Suppression Division hurriedly chased up from behind, panting:

"Master Gu, I finally found you..."

"What happened? So anxious?"

Gu Cheng looked at the two people's nervous faces, and he had a vague answer in his heart.

"Master Gu, a group of envoys from our headquarters suddenly came to the yamen, and asked you to report to the martial arts hall by name!" A captain replied hurriedly.

Another lieutenant nodded, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Those guys in our headquarters are very arrogant, and you can tell at a glance that they are not easy to talk to. You must be more careful and don't act on impulse!"

"Well, I know, thank you for reminding me."

Gu Cheng nodded slightly, with a strange look in his eyes.

Zhao Qianhu had said before that this temporary review was just a formality.

Now it seems that this is not the case...

-----------------

The Demon Suppression Department Office, the Martial Arts Hall.

The empty indoor venue is as big as a basketball court.

There are several weapon racks around the venue, with various swords, spears, and halberds neatly stacked on them.

And on the viewing platform facing the gate of the Martial Arts Hall.

A man wearing a golden crown and a black uniform is sitting on a wooden chair, crossing his legs, and sipping tea leisurely.

Behind the black-shirted man, five tall and strong lieutenants of the headquarters lined up in a row, standing upright like javelins.

Looking at their fierce appearance, they are obviously tough guys who have been on the battlefield for a long time!

"Hmm~ I didn't expect that this poor and remote place produces quite good tea."

"After returning from this mission, I can bring a few pounds to my godfather..."

Sun Baichuan smacked his lips with satisfaction, put down the teacup, and turned to ask a subordinate beside him:

"Erhu, how is the information of that kid checked?"

"Suntou, I have found out everything."

Erhu stepped forward and took out a document from his arms.

"That kid named Gu is from a hereditary centurion family, and his family background is clean and there is no problem at all.

It's just that the speed at which his strength is promoted is a little unbelievable..."

"Oh? Why?"

Sun Baichuan was playing with the teacup in his hand, and couldn't help but be interested.

"Look, Sun, according to the task records in their branch office.

This kid has been in a fewA month ago, he was just a small flag officer at the third level of body tempering. Apart from being good at light work, he was useless. "

Erhu handed the document in his hand to his superior and continued to add:

"But when he was promoted to the general flag, he suddenly changed and killed two tiger monsters in the Qi and Blood Realm!

Less than a month later, he killed a fox monster in the Broken Ordinary Realm! He was directly promoted to a centurion."

"Because of this, Zhao Qianhu valued the talent of this kid, so he used his internal relationship to arrange him directly into the final assessment of the headquarters..."

"Humph! What a shit talent! But he is just another person who relies on money to open the way.

Only a fool would believe this kind of forged mission record!"

Sun Baichuan snorted coldly and threw the document in his hand away like garbage.

"Now Zhao Qianhu has been dismissed and investigated by General Xu for dereliction of duty.

Can the person recommended by him be a decent person? ”

“Ahem, Suntou, this isn’t a good talent…”

Erhu chuckled and whispered:

“If he doesn’t rely on connections, but is really capable, how can we brothers get benefits from him?”

Hearing this, several lieutenants behind him also chuckled.

There are such people who use backdoors every year, and it has long been a tacit understanding within the Demon Suppression Division.

The families of these people are generally quite wealthy, and they only want to gild themselves in the Demon Suppression Division headquarters.

As long as they can successfully infiltrate the headquarters, even if it is just a nominal and idle position, they are willing to pay a high price for it.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives.

This year, the temporary review process added by the Tianshui City headquarters is undoubtedly a great opportunity to make extra money!

“Shh, what nonsense are you talking about!

You just need to know about this kind of thing, there is no need to say it in public..."

Sun Baichuan scolded with a smile, picked up the teapot, and was about to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

Squeak--

The door of the martial arts hall opened in response.

A tall and handsome figure walked in and stood in the center of the venue.

The sunlight shone through the door and shone on the young man, as if he was covered with a layer of golden gauze and dragged a long shadow on the ground.

The five subordinates looked at the appearance of the visitor, and a gratified smile suddenly appeared on their faces, just like a wolf picking up a fat sheep.

This delicate and tender little white face really fits their stereotype of those "relatives".

"You are Gu Cheng, right? Haha, you are really a handsome man!"

Sun Baichuan smiled slightly and nodded to the young man, but a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"That's right. "

Gu Cheng clasped his fists and bowed, waiting for the next words.

"I think you have guessed the purpose of our visit this time."

Sun Baichuan poured himself a cup of hot tea, looking casual.

"Brother Gu, you want to come to Tianshui City to pursue your career, and we brothers naturally don't want to embarrass you.

But we came all the way here just to help you pave the way for your bright future.

If you don't express anything at all, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"I don't know what you mean?"

Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked knowingly.

"Why, do you want me to make it clearer?"

Sun Baichuan's eyes flashed with displeasure, thinking how could the relatives he met this time be so ignorant?

He blew the hot air on the teacup, stretched out five fingers to Gu Cheng, and said:

"One price, fifty thousand taels!"

"If you pay the silver today, you can go back to Tianshui City with us tomorrow!"
