Chapter 451 Zhou Qiaonian

Entering Tianluo City, Han Zheng looked at the surrounding streets.

Tianluo City is a big city, definitely incomparable to the capital city, but it is about the same size as Kaiping Mansion.

There were countless merchants coming and going along the way, but there was no trace of the demons from the Blood Demon Cult hiding among them.

In fact, the more this kind of place is, the more difficult it is to investigate missing people.

There are too many merchants coming and going, and so many people come and go every day. Who knows whether the missing person left the city or went to other places?

"Lao Xiang, do you recognize the guarding captain of the Dangmo Division in Tianluo City?"

Xiang Yuangong said in a deep voice: "I recognize him, but I have only met him in person and have not spoken to him.

In fact, strictly speaking, the person responsible for guarding Tianluo City is not the guarding captain, but an envoy of Yangshen Realm. "

Han Zheng was slightly startled: "The envoy of Yangshen Realm? Tianluo City needs strong men of this level to guard it?"

The people responsible for guarding the sixteen cities that guard the capital are all the guarding captains of the True Alchemy Realm.

This is true even for the city close to the Demon Suppressing Pass.

Isn't it a bit wasteful for Tianluo City to be guarded by Yangshen realm's envoys?

Xiang Yuangong explained: "Zhou Qiaonian, the governor of Tianluo Town, was once the governor of the Yangshen Realm.

More than 20 years ago, Demon Town Pass was attacked by demons, and Mr. Zhou was seriously injured by the Moon-Swallowing Demon King.

The Moon-Swallowing Demon King is no ordinary demon king. He possesses the bloodline of the ancient Roaring Moon Demon God. He is extremely powerful and honorable, and his combat power is even comparable to that of a demon emperor.

It was rare for Mr. Zhou to resist the three moves of the Moon-Swallowing Demon King without dying, but his foundation was destroyed, three souls and seven souls were injured, and he fell to the true elixir realm.

At first, the Governor wanted to let Mr. Zhou enter the elders' home for retirement. After all, Mr. Zhou was not too young.

But he still chose to go out and do things, not wanting to waste the rest of his life in vain.

The Governor thought of Mr. Zhou's contribution and did not want him to be overworked, so he arranged for him to stay in Tianluo City.

This place is also the main road leading to the capital. It is not too dangerous. Strictly speaking, it is considered a good job. "

The moon-swallowing demon king?

Han Zheng suddenly thought of the person who died together with Qin Wumie.

Back then, Qin Wumie had already mastered the Heavenly Demon Alchemy, and his background was extremely astonishing. The Demon King who could die with him was definitely not a simple person.

Now it seems that he should be the Moon-Swallowing Demon King with extremely noble bloodline.

From this point of view, Qiao Nian should have some interactions with Qin Wumie this week.

Han Zheng nodded and suddenly asked: "What is Mr. Zhou's ability like?"

Xiang Yuangong thought for a while and said: "I haven't had much contact with Mr. Zhou, but you can rest assured, Mr. Zhou's character is definitely worth guaranteeing.

At the Demon Suppressing Pass, Mr. Zhou took the lead in blocking the Moon-Swallowing Demon King. If it weren't for him, more people would have died in that battle.

There are no mediocre people who can kill the enemy without fear of death in Zhenyao Pass. "

Han Zheng nodded slightly.

It's not that he is suspicious, but that Tianluo City may be hiding a large number of remnants of the Blood Demon Sect, but Zhou Qionian, who is the governor of this place, doesn't know about it. This is a bit unreasonable.

Several people came to the door of Tianluo City's Dang Moji, and after revealing their identities, they were immediately invited in.

In the meeting hall, a tall and burly old man wearing red gold flying bear armor strode out with a bold smile.

"Hahaha! I have long heard that our Dangmo Division has produced another young hero. He has just been rewarded by His Majesty. It should be this little friend Han Zhenghan, right?"

Zhou Qiaonian looks to be in his sixties. Although his hair is gray, his face is resolute and tough, and his body has a wild momentum. There is no sign of being seriously injured or decadent.

"Junior Han Zheng has met Mr. Zhou."

In terms of rank, Han Zheng, the general manager of the Thirteen Guards, is actually one level higher than the Tianluo Town Guard. But the problem is that Zhou Qiaonian was once the governor of Yangshen Realm, and the superiors did not deprive him of the right to wear the red gold flying bear armor. , so Han Zheng could only call himself a junior.

Xiang Yuangong and others also bowed their hands and saluted.

They still respect this old man who fought with the demons in front of the Demon Suppression Pass.

"Don't be too polite. You are all young talents in our Dangmo Division. I feel very happy to see you. I have a successor in Dangmo Division who is better than his predecessor, hahaha!"

Zhou Qiaonian generously let everyone into the living room without any airs of being an old-timer.

Qiao Nian's behavior this week reminded Han Zheng of one person, that is Wan Zhongshan, the commander of Qianjiang Prefecture in Shannan Road, who was equally bold and generous.

Both parties are the kind of senior Xuan Jiawei who puts the Demon Division first. The interests of the Demon Division are above all else.

So seeing outstanding young people like them, these old people are also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After sitting down, Zhou Qiaonian asked someone to serve tea and asked: "Little friend Han, what business do you and Jing'an Guard have to come to Tianluo City? Don't worry, as long as I can cooperate, I will definitely cooperate. If I can't, I will try my best to cooperate."

Han Zheng said in a deep voice: "That's right, a patrol envoy passed by Tianluo City before and discovered traces of the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.

Mr. Zhou should know what the Blood Demon Sect means, so the Governor wants us to come and investigate.

I wonder if Mr. Zhou has noticed that there are traces of the Blood Demon Cult lurking in Tianluo City? "

"well."

Zhou Qiaonian sighed and said solemnly: "It's not a trace, but I'm sure that there are definitely rats from the Blood Demon Sect lurking in Tianluo City!"

Han Zheng and others were stunned.

Zhou Qiaonian knew that there were Blood Demon Cults lurking in Tianluo City, so why didn't he report it and deal with it?

As if he saw the doubts in Han Zheng and others' eyes, Zhou Qiaonian sighed and said, "You must be wondering why I didn't report it or deal with it?

First, it's because those rats hid too secretly. I caught their tails countless times, but I still couldn't pull them out.

Second, my Tianluo City is short of manpower. All the Xuanjia Guards add up to less than fifty people.

I am too conspicuous. As long as I show up, those rats will hide without a trace in an instant, and my men can't do anything to them.

As for why I didn't report it, this is indeed my problem.

We The Demon-Slaying Division has always been short of people. I also know that the Grand Admiral is very busy in the capital, and some cases can't even find anyone to take over.

I can't catch those rats myself, but I have to ask the Grand Admiral for help. I really can't bring myself to do this.

I didn't expect that the Grand Admiral still knew about this matter, and sent you guys here.

In this case, I'll trouble you guys to take action and catch those rats from the Blood Demon Sect.

I will write to the Grand Admiral later to praise your merits and also apologize for my own crimes. "

Han Zheng's face was a little strange.

He thought that the Grand Admiral was not busy, but very leisurely, and even had time to barbecue himself.

However, Zhou Qiaonian's character was a little too stubborn. He was afraid of troubling the Grand Admiral, so he kept his desire to solve the Blood Demon Sect all these years and refused to ask for help.

At this time, Han Zheng suddenly asked in surprise: "Master Zhou, why are there so few Xuanjia Guards in Tianluo City, less than 50 people.

Even if it is an ordinary small prefecture, there should not be less than 50 people, right?"

Zhou Qiaonian smiled bitterly and said: "I always feel that the Grand Commander is short of people, so some outstanding young people under my command were sent to the capital. Now, in addition to some old people who have no hope of promotion, there are only some newcomers who are still being taught by the old man.

But I didn't expect that I would end up making things worse and delaying my own business.

Alas, I am old and useless. I always pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons when doing things."

"Master Zhou, please don't say that. You are dedicated to the public, and I admire you.

We came here to investigate the Blood Demon Cult. Yes, although you have not been able to solve the Blood Demon Cult in the past few years, you should have investigated a lot of information, right? "

Zhou Qiaonian nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have found out a lot of things, and it is extremely troublesome. The remnants of the Blood Demon Cult are involved.

If there were no such involvement, even if they are slippery and reckless, I can still pull them out!

Although my realm has fallen, it is not to the point where I can't fight. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Qiaonian glanced at the sky and said: "It's getting late. Han Xiaoyou have come from afar. Let's eat first. After dinner, I will tell you about the Blood Demon Cult in detail. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Qiaonian, regardless of Han Zheng and others' refusals and humility, forced them to go to the guest room to rest, and he went to arrange a banquet.

This old man was so enthusiastic that Han Zheng and others couldn't refuse, so they had to nod and agree.

When it came to the banquet, in addition to inviting some elderly people from the Tianluo City Demon-Slaying Division, Zhou Qiaonian was also accompanied by a young woman who seemed very intimate with him.
