"I have met my husband!"
Mo Rou saluted somewhat stiffly.
Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu just stepped forward and pinched the other person's face, then said softly: "Now that we are home, be casual. If you don't know anything, you can go to the lady.
Although our Wan Mansion is not big, we do have some rules. You can slowly adapt to it. Don't worry about anyone making things difficult for you. You are my wife or concubine, so be bold in what you do."
"As you command, my husband!"
Mo Rou was still the same, well-behaved.
Wan Zhuliu couldn't help but shook his head. This woman also had a gentle temperament.
In such troubled times, being too gentle is not a good thing.
He often went out on escort missions, so it was difficult for his family to get together. In the morning, he called everyone together and had a meal together.
During the meal, he brought Mo Rou to respectfully serve tea to Master Wan and several concubines.
Several people also paid some money in the hope of getting a good result.
Just when everyone was having fun, a series of hurried footsteps approached quickly.
"Master, Young Master! Someone from the county government is here to summon Young Master!"
"Oh?" Master Wan asked in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wan Zhuliu waving his hand.
"It must be about the recent beast ghost incident. I'm going to go there!"
Then, Wan Zhuliu followed the messenger and walked towards the county government.
He stopped halfway and said, "You go back first, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring some things!"
Seeing this, the messenger could only reply respectfully, "Then I will return to the county government to report. Please ask Chief Wan to come as soon as possible."
Wan Zhuliu turned around, took a small path, and after making sure there was no tail, he went to Tianji Tower.
As soon as I entered, I saw Qingluan cursing angrily.
"What happened?"
"Don't say that, Black Wind. The Black Dragon King clearly promised us a 50-50 split, but now he's changed his mind."
"Four six?"
"Not even four or six, not even three or seven. This damn Black Dragon King said they lost over thirty people, and they paid a higher price than us!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu frowned slightly.
"The host didn't object?"
"The Black Dragon King directly communicated with Luozhou Tianji Tower. By the time the news reached us, they had already made the final decision!"
It turns out that they are the directly connected superior unit, no wonder Qingluan is so angry.
"Okay, I've suffered a loss. By the way, I'm here to collect the reward for the mission."
Wan Zhuliu went straight to the point.
"I've prepared it for you a long time ago. This one is about body movement skills, right? It's called the swimming body movement skills."
After saying that, Qingluan took out a booklet from her bosom. It looked like a copied version, with ink stains all over the book and still emitting a faint residual warmth.
Wan Zhuliu took a quick look and was impressed by this technique.
The Youshen Gong is considered quite good among the earth-level martial arts. When it is practiced to perfection, the body becomes graceful and unpredictable, agile and elusive, and one can even walk on water.
It seems that the decision of what kind of martial arts to give to him was also carefully considered by Lou Nei.
It can't be too good, nor too bad.
Wan Zhuliu couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others!"
However, he still appeared to be delighted.
"Thank you very much. If there is nothing else, I will go to the county government first."
"Okay, but... I have to remind you that the beast ghost
Don’t get too involved in other people’s affairs.”
"Why?" Wan Zhuliu felt a little puzzled.
The real business of Tianji Tower is actually intelligence.
As the deputy building owner, Qingluan must know many secrets that I don’t know.
Is there something fishy about her saying this?
"Don't ask so many questions. Just listen to me. You can kill some beast ghosts, but don't investigate."
Wan Zhuliu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Understood!"
Half an hour later, he arrived at the county government.
Yuchi Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his hair was gray, and he seemed much more haggard.
It can be seen that the robbery of the birthday gift was a great blow to him.
Seeing Wan Zhuliu coming, his solemn expression relaxed a little and he forced a faint smile.
"Zhuliu, are you healed?"
"I'm basically fine now. I'm summoned by the county lieutenant and come to the yamen to serve you!" Wan Zhuliu spoke politely in an official tone.
"Fortunately, you weren't the one escorting the birthday gift last time, otherwise... Well, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I called you here today because there's another important case.
"The county has been plagued by beast ghosts more and more frequently lately. Large numbers of them have migrated from Zhuxi to the county seat. After midnight, they attack the surrounding villages. I sent officers to strangle them, but two officers died. Now... you're the only one left to take action!"
"Is it already that serious?" Wan Zhuliu also calmed down.
"Yes, these beast ghosts specialize in eating the organs of living people. They are incredibly fast and have terrifying strength. Even ordinary warriors have difficulty dealing with them!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu considered his tone for a moment before saying, "I'll take people to investigate first. If we can't expel them, we'll have to petition the prefecture to dispatch an army."
"That's what I meant. I've already offended the governor of Luozhou with the birthday gift incident. It's best to control the impact within the county government!"
Seeing Yuchi Yun's miserable look, Wan Zhuliu felt a little guilty.
Without saying much, he took a few policemen who knew the situation and rushed to the scene.
"The recent large-scale attack by beast demons occurred at Gao Family Castle last night. A total of 43 people, young and old, were killed!"
A policeman spoke to Wan Zhuliu while he led the way in front.
Not long after, Wan Zhuliu arrived at Gaojiabao. After checking the corpse, he was also puzzled.
It's not common to be so open-hearted, but it's not that uncommon either.
The only thing that puzzled him was that the wounds on these corpses were all black.
He used a silver needle to test it and found that there was no poisoning or anything.
