Ruins of the past

Chu Qiguang's destination, Ba Mansion, controlled a total of ten counties and had a total population of four to five million.

The Baihu Office of the Suppressing Demon Division was set up outside the city of Ba Mansion and was called Tumen Fort.

With its own school grounds, castle, and farmland, it is almost a small military base.

However, when Chu Qiguang rode his horse all the way to the gate of Tumen Fort, he could see officers and soldiers in military uniforms working on the farmed fields. They all looked lifeless and dejected.

Arriving at the gate of the castle, the guarding soldier also looked sallow and thin, leaning against the earth wall.

After seeing Chu Qiguang showing his official documents, waist badge, and official seal, the two guards humbly welcomed him in.

Chu Qiguang frowned slightly as he watched this scene. He felt that the soldiers at the Baihu Station of the Demon Suppression Division were completely different from those on Chaoyao Mountain. They were more like farmers than soldiers.

Not long after Chu Qiguang was welcomed into the hall of Tumen Fort, laughter could be heard.

Deputy Baihu Ning Chigong was surprised that Chu Qiguang actually arrived, but with a friendly smile on his face: "I pay my respects to Chu Baihu."

Behind him were two general bannermen. In theory, each of these two general bannermen led 5 small banners, and each small banner had 10 soldiers.

Theoretically, 2 general flags, 10 small flags, plus 100 soldiers, a total of 112 people.

At this moment, the two general bannermen followed Deputy Baihu Ning Chigong, and they also greeted each other: "Greetings to Chu Baihu."

Chu Qiguang then raised his hands and said, "I'm new here. If I need help from you all in the future, please take a seat."

But after Chu Qiguang finished speaking, the two general bannermen present were as motionless as statues, as if they had not heard what Chu Qiguang said.

Deputy Baihu Ning Chi shouted respectfully: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you hear what Mr. Chu said?"

Only then did the two commander-in-chiefs sit down. Ning Chigong smiled slightly and said, "Master Chu, these two fools have been staying in the countryside for a long time and don't understand etiquette. I hope you will forgive me."

Chu Qiguang didn't speak, but just looked at the five tentacles under Ning Chigong's feet.

At the same time, he silently read the words floating in the seeker's eyes: "The pretender who takes both black and white."

'interesting. ’

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and said to Ning Chigong: "Brother Ning is worrying too much. Why should I care about such a trivial matter?"

Ning Chigong, however, covered his chest and said, "Master Chu, after worrying about this for a year, I am now dizzy and my limbs are weak. Since you are here, I will hand over this Tumen Fort to you."

Chu Qiguang smiled and looked at Ning Chigong: "Ning Baihu has worked really hard this year. I wonder if he has the military seal, where are the accounts and household registers?"

As long as he has these three things, Chu Qiguang can control the entire guard's money, food, soldiers, and successfully take over the entire guard.

Ning Chigong said: "This account book is managed by the accountant in the institute, I don't know. As for the seal of the army, it has disappeared with the last Zhang Baihu."

Chu Qiguang stared at the other party and asked, "Where is the household registration book?"

Ning Chigong sighed: "There was a fire in the fort a few days ago, and the household register was burned. However, I have asked my subordinates to re-register, and it should be completed soon."

"Oh, I have this headache again. From now on, I will rely on you to take charge of everything in this castle. No, no, no... I'm going to rest."

After saying that, Ning Chigong stood up covering his head and slowly walked out the door. The two generals also stood up immediately and were about to follow.

But he saw Ning Chigong turning his head suddenly, his hair and beard flying like an angry lion, and his fierce energy and blood emitted billowing heat waves.

"Are you two deaf? I told you that the entire castle will listen to Master Chu from now on. Why are you still following me?"

"Or is it that what I, Ning Chi Gong, said doesn't work anymore?"

After scolding the two commander-in-chiefs, Ning Chigong's face instantly calmed down.

He looked at the expressionless Chu Qiguang and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I will go to recuperate first. The hundred households in Ba Mansion will all depend on you for the rest."

After leaving the hall, Ning Chigong directed his servants to leave Tumen Fort and rode towards his mansion in Fucheng.

A boy caught up to him and asked in a low voice: "What should I do if I ask about the account books at the accounting office?"

Ning Chigong said coldly: "Didn't I say it? I won't hand over the account books, the big seal, the household register, and nothing else."

"A Huangkou boy who just came to Chaoyao Mountain dares to come to Shuzhou to become a hundred households."

…

In the mountains on the other side.

Qiao Zhi sat on the head of the demonized King Huntian, yawning and asked: "Your lair is too far away, how long does it take to get there?"

The little demons beside them were chirping, "Your Majesty! It's right in front! It's right in front!"

"You have said this a dozen times."

Qiao Zhi sighed helplessly. The cultural level of these monsters was too low. They could not read or count. He felt that he and they had almost no common conversation.

But this time, these little demons finally got it right. After climbing over another mountain, Qiao Zhi saw a cave. A group of dog demons were guarding the entrance of the cave. They were shocked when they saw the returning demonized King Huntian.

Qiao Zhi then began to organize the group of monsters and move their stored food, but found an altar in the deepest part of the cave.

The altar was surrounded by various dried bloodstains, instruments of torture, and cells. Qiao Zhi could also see numerous bones among them, both human and demonic.

In the deepest cells, George actually saw five monsters.

‘Monster? Why are there monsters in this monster cave? ’

He curiously summoned the remaining three five-level monsters in the monster team and asked them what was going on.

The monsters of the Five Realms are indeed much easier to use than those little monsters, but the deepest part of the cave has always been the private area of ​​King Huntian. Other monsters are never allowed in, and they don't know what it is used for.

I only know that every once in a while, King Huntian will capture some monsters or people and enter here, but he has never seen any monsters or people come out alive.

Today was also the first time they knew that King Huntian actually hid monsters here.

A rat demon among the three five-level monsters suddenly said: "By the way, every two or three months, King Huntian always entertains guests here, maybe it has something to do with it."

Demons...devils...altar...guests...

Qiao Zhi shook his tail and thought: 'Damn it, is this monster like King Huntian related to some evil cult? ’

He looked at it carefully again, and a hint of enlightenment emerged in his heart: "This altar seems to be used by the Jie Sect to create monsters. How did King Huntian provoke these guys?"

"Jie Jiao... I don't want to get involved with those lunatics."

Qiao Zhi thought for a while and ordered the demonized King Huntian, the demonized Ji Jigui and the monsters to kill the monsters and destroy the altar.

After moving the food out, he set fire to the entire monster cave and led the remaining monsters to relocate.
