Chapter 159 Guarding the State Capital

"What's wrong with Mr. Xu? What made you so angry?"

The door of the study was pushed open, and Wen Tingyun walked in from outside.

At this time, the aura around Wen Tingyun was harmonious and peaceful, and even looked no different from before.

At least Han Zheng didn't see any difference from before.

If I had to say the only difference, it was that Han Zheng suddenly felt that he seemed to be farther away from Wen Tingyun for some reason.

It was obvious that Han Zheng was only three or four steps away from Wen Tingyun at this time, but it seemed that there was a barrier between them, which was very strange.

Xu Cunbao was pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Wen, have you made a breakthrough?"

Wen Tingyun nodded gently: "I have been preparing for so long. If I still can't make a breakthrough smoothly, then I am too useless."

Then Wen Tingyun looked at Han Zheng again, nodded gently and said: "Yes, I felt that you were hovering on the edge of a bottleneck before. It was only a matter of time to break through the Xuangang Realm. You are faster than I thought."

Xu Cunbao also said: "Han Zheng has a good foundation. He broke through not long after you went into seclusion.

It was fortunate that Han Zheng helped me during your seclusion, so I didn't tire myself to death.

By the way, didn't you ask me why I was angry? This is the news from Yanbo Mansion just now."

Xu Cunbao handed the letter to Wen Tingyun.

After reading the news on it, Wen Tingyun also frowned slightly, and even a trace of murderous color flashed in his eyes.

"What a courage! Old Master Xu, do you believe that it was done by demons?"

Xu Cunbao's eyes also flashed a hint of coldness: "To be honest, I'm not sure. Yanbo Mansion is too chaotic, and the forces of all parties are mixed.

But no matter who did it, the Demon-Slaying Division must give an explanation, and Liao Hongsheng also needs an explanation!"

"So the question now is, who should be sent to Yanbo Mansion?"

Wen Tingyun's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Yanbo Mansion actually has more than one Demon-Slaying Division Captain Liao Hongsheng, but two, both of whom are in the early stage of Xuan Gang Realm.

In terms of area, Yanbo Mansion is not small. Logically, there should be a garrison commander to guard it.

But because Shannan Road is not strong enough, it can only send Liao Hongsheng, a Demon-Slaying Captain, to guard it.

But only one Demon-Slaying Division Captain is definitely not enough, Yanbo Mansion has three.

Liao Hongsheng, a Demon-Slaying Captain in the late stage of Xuan Gang Realm, is the main one, and the other two Demon-Slaying Captains in the early stage of Xuan Gang Realm are the auxiliary ones.

In fact, according to reason, the Shannan Dao Demon-Slaying Division is short of people, so it is better to directly promote the other two Demon-Slaying Captains in the early stage of the Xuan Gang Realm.

But Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao did not have such an idea.

Because their performance disappointed Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao too much.

Liao Hongsheng was their boss, and their boss died in an unclear way, but they dragged their feet for two days before sending the news.

And the news was also unclear, just saying that it was suspected that the demon killed him, and their performance was simply too bad.

Wen Tingyun thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Han Zheng: "Someone has chosen, I think you will be a good choice to guard Yanbo Mansion."

Han Zheng was stunned, he did not expect Wen Tingyun to choose him.

"But Lord Wen, I have just entered the Xuan Gang Realm, and I have not been in the Demon-Slaying Division for too long, so I am afraid that my qualifications are a bit insufficient."

Han Zheng is still very capable.

Guarding a state is not to go on missions in the Demon-Slaying Division, coordinate various forces and other messy things are very cumbersome.

Therefore, the demon-slaying lieutenants stationed outside the Demon-Slaying Division are generally those with a long history of experience, who can control the Xuanjia Guards under their command, and who have a lot of experience and are calm in their work.

Han Zheng has no shortage of strength, but experience is something that Han Zheng cannot have in a short period of time.

Wen Tingyun waved his hand and said, "I don't know whether other demon-slaying divisions look at experience, but my Shannan Road Demon-Slaying Division certainly does not look at experience.

If experience is considered, I am not qualified to be in charge of the big and small matters of the Shannan Road Demon-Slaying Division.

The affairs of Yanbo Mansion are a mess, and a sharp sword is needed to cut through all these messy things.

And you, Han Zheng, are now the fastest sword in my Shannan Road Demon-Slaying Division!

The experience of the Demon-Slaying Division is not gained through hard work, but through doing things.

You have completed several tasks in succession at the headquarters very well. If you make certain achievements in the local area, it will be more beneficial for your future promotion.

The current affairs of Yanbo Mansion are indeed a trouble. Now it depends on whether you, Han Zheng, dare to take it."

Han Zheng was calm. He said, "Since Lord Wen thinks highly of me, I dare to accept it, but there is one thing, can you give me more autonomy?

In short, it is to kill first and report later!"

Xu Cunbao on the side said, "During this period, you have been dealing with all kinds of big and small things in various places. I believe that you must have a plan for how Yanbo Mansion should deal with it.

The headquarters will not hold you back. If you want to do it, do it boldly. There is no need to ask for trivial matters like other prefectures.

I only have one request, that is, to find out the cause of Liao Hongsheng's death, give an explanation to the Demon-Slaying Division, and also give an explanation to Liao Hongsheng."

"Don't worry, Lord Xu, I will."

Han Zheng had a good impression of Liao Hongsheng, but he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly die inexplicably.

I will find out the cause of his death and give an explanation to this big brother who once invited me to drink.

Wen Tingyun said directly, "Go and get the guard waist badge, rest for a day, and set off tomorrow. Today I will send out the news that you are in charge of Yanbo Mansion."

Han Zheng nodded and asked for a bunch of information about Yanbo Mansion, and even the information about the Xuanjia Guards in Yanbo Mansion, preparing to familiarize himself with the local situation first.

Before leaving, Han Zheng said goodbye to Su Wuming and the others, saying that he was going to guard the state capital.

Upon hearing the news, Su Wuming and the others congratulated Han Zheng immediately.

Although there are many opportunities in the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division, there is not much autonomy, and you still need to listen to the orders from above.

And if you go to the state capital to guard a place, you will almost be a lord of a place, and you still have a lot of autonomy, and they are a little envious.

Moreover, almost all the senior executives of the Demon Slayer Division have experience in guarding a place, which is also a necessary process.

Of course, Wen Tingyun is an exception.

She wanted to go to the state capital to guard a place, but neither Chen Baxian nor Old Master Xu would let her go.

After a night of intensive familiarity with the information, Han Zheng set off for Yanbo Mansion early the next morning.

Han Zheng had been to Yanbo Prefecture when he attacked Guiyuan Sword Pavilion last time, but that was only outside Yanbo Prefecture, and he had not been to the prefecture.

The environment of Yanbo Prefecture is actually very complicated.

It is located between Shannan Road and Xijiang Road, and is an important road at the junction of the two places. Although the business exchanges are prosperous, it is also chaotic.

On the other side, it is close to Yanbo Lake, where there are many monsters and ghosts. It is very difficult to deal with them after destroying one nest.

Moreover, their nests are all in the water, making it difficult to completely exterminate them.

In addition to the monsters in the lake, there are also many water bandits in Yanbo Lake, whose strength is also not weak, and it is also difficult to destroy them.

This is still in terms of terrain. Many places around Yanbo Prefecture are considered to be places with abundant spiritual energy, so there are also many Jianghu forces that have established sects here.

All these add up to Han Zheng can imagine how chaotic Yanbo Prefecture is, and it is also difficult for Liao Hongsheng to persist here for a year.

That's right, Han Zheng found out after reading the information that Liao Hongsheng actually only guarded Yanbo Prefecture for one year.

The last demon-slaying lieutenant who guarded Yanbo Prefecture died in a conflict with the local underworld forces, and then Liao Hongsheng took over Yanbo Prefecture.

Before, Liao Hongsheng was in charge of the first battalion of the Shannan Road Headquarters. He was powerful and brave and radical, so he was worthy of being sent to such a mess in Yanbo Prefecture.

After arriving, Liao Hongsheng directly suppressed the local underworld forces with an iron fist, and even had many conflicts with Guiyuan Sword Pavilion, which barely stabilized the situation.

Unexpectedly, it was only a year later that Liao Hongsheng died so unclearly.

Three demon-slaying lieutenants were replaced in two years, and two died. This Yanbo Prefecture is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.

What makes Han Zheng feel even more interesting is that the three demon-slaying lieutenants were all directly airdropped from above, and none of them were promoted from Yanbo Prefecture.

It seems that the Demon-Slaying Division Headquarters does not trust the local Xuanjia Guards in Yanbo Prefecture.
