Chapter 14: The Goddess of Yanshan
"What's worse, do you think Hong Ni's background can be born casually? She is the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the Goddess of Yunmengze Yanshan Mountain!"
"What!"
When these words were spoken, all the captains were shocked. Even Shi Feng, who had been listening to the quarrel quietly without saying a word, was moved.
They had not known about this before.
Seeing everyone frightened, the man couldn't help but sneer and said, "Who is the Goddess ? In the past, the king of Yue State was hunting in Yunmeng Lake and saw a goddess in the clouds. She was so beautiful that she was gifted by gods. After returning to his country, he missed her every day and built a Goddess Platform in his country, declaring that he would find the goddess, put her there, and have sex with her every day."
"When the goddess of Yanshan heard this, she flew into a rage, and took the three thousand miles of water from Yunmeng Lake and flooded the entire territory of Yuyue. Yuyue was destroyed from then on! With such a person, do you still want to become an enemy for a mere man holding a knife?"
"Isn't it what the Sujing Division should do to exchange a menial task for the peace of the great Ji and the millions of people in Wujun?"
Every word this man spoke was extremely firm, and to everyone, every word he spoke made sense and was irrefutable.
Even the person who opposed it couldn't say anything against it, but he was stubborn and believed that it was wrong to do so, and his face turned red.
The matter involves two demon kings, both of whom are top figures in the world. Even Su Jingsi does not dare to offend them easily.
There was silence for a long time before someone broke the silence with a puzzled tone: "No, how could the descendants of two such... figures be wandering alone in the world and hanging out with a street thug?"
"Don't worry about this. Now we should hand the person over as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Dragon King of Jing River first. Then the superiors can come forward to deal with these two."
"no!"
"Miao Renfeng! What are you waiting for? Are you really going to harm hundreds of men in the Sujing Division for a menial task, and even disregard the safety of millions of people in Wu County and cause unrest in the whole country?"
The demon-suppressing captain known as Miao Renfeng just insisted with a red face: "I am not... don't scare me, it won't work anyway!"
"you……"
The man was angry and seemed too lazy to argue with this fool. He turned to Shi Feng and said, "Captain Shi, the man holding the knife is also your man. You decide."
Shi Feng took a deep breath and said with embarrassment on his face: "What Captain Miao said does make some sense. If we hand him over like this, it will damage the reputation of our Sujing Division..."
Miao Renfeng's face lit up, but he heard him say: "However, I have to be concerned about what you said. It is indeed inappropriate to put millions of lives in Wujun in danger for the sake of a knife holder..."
"Captain Shi! Aren't you talking nonsense?"
The captain who had tried hard to hand the man over suddenly became furious.
Shi Feng just smiled faintly and said, "Captain You, please be patient. Since everyone is right, why don't we report to the commander tomorrow and let him make the decision? The descendants of two third-grade demon kings died under the jurisdiction of my Sujing Division. This is a serious matter and it is not something we can decide."
Miao Renfeng immediately said, "Yes! You should report it to the commander-in-chief. I don't believe that the commander-in-chief will let you risk the lives of your own people to beg for mercy from the demons!"
"Hmph! What a waste of time!"
Captain You slammed the table heavily, stood up suddenly, and left angrily.
"Captain Shi, I'll go take a look."
One of them apologized and chased after Captain You, who had already disappeared.
Shi Feng looked at his back and smiled faintly.
…
"Captain You, Captain You !"
The demon-suppressing captain who had chased after them stopped Captain You on the mountain steps and said, "Captain You, are we just going to let this go?"
"You must know that we can wait, but the Dragon King of Jinghe River and the Goddess of Yanshan Mountain may not be willing to wait."
"Especially that goddess. I heard that she is vindictive and will come to our house soon to call us to task. By then, even if Wu County is safe, we will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences. If we fail to handle the situation properly, we will also be held accountable."
"Oh, what are you in such a hurry for?"
Captain You was not at all frustrated as he was in the pavilion. He sneered:
"This matter is very easy. Let's assign a task to the man holding the knife tomorrow and let him die outside. This will not only save Su Jingsi's reputation, but also give him an explanation. Why should we discuss this?"
"ah?"
The man was stunned: "Then why did you do that just now?"
Captain You said, "Although the knife bearer is a lowly servant, he is a member of our Sujing Division. Although Miao Renfeng is brainless, he is right in saying one thing: what does our Sujing Division do? To suppress demons and pacify the world!"
"It's the demons in the world that are afraid of us. Why should we be afraid of the demons?"
"But the matter involves two demon kings, and it is really not worth starting a war just for a knife wielder."
The man suddenly realized: "Oh, so..."
Captain You smiled and said, "So, we still have to put on some superficial effort."
The man hesitated again and said, "But if we do this, then Captain Shi..."
Captain You sneered, "Humph! As for Shi Feng, he is ruthless and cruel. Do you think he will really protect his son?"
"He is just used to playing it safe and doesn't want to get involved in any trouble."
"He knew that I would definitely do this, but he just pretended not to know. I was happy to go along with him and play along. Even if the idiot Miao Renfeng didn't jump out, there would still be people who would come out to argue with me."
"In this case, even if the knife-wielder dies while holding the knife, it has nothing to do with us. Even if the Dragon King of Jinghe wants to cause trouble, he can't find our Sujing Division, so let the Tixing Division handle it."
The man took a breath and said, "Hiss! Captain You is really tall!"
…
Jiang Zhou thought about it for half the night and could only guess that it must be related to Hong Ni, but that was all.
The information we have is really limited, and we can't make assumptions out of thin air.
I just don't think about it anymore.
all will be good.
At least, Jiang Zhou did not sense any direct malice from Shi Feng.
Otherwise, given the difference in status and strength between the two, there would be no need for the other party to waste time talking to him and he could just take him down on the spot.
Since we have gone through so many twists and turns, it proves that there is still room for turnaround.
As long as no one attacks him directly, Jiang Zhou has nothing to worry about.
With Taiyi Wuyanluo around, no matter how bad the situation gets, he can at least save his life.
After a night, the golden gong sounded.
It's time to roll the dice again.
Hundreds of knife-wielding men stood in front of the knife prison, waiting to be assigned tasks.
Compared to yesterday, the number of people has decreased by nearly 10%.
Jiang Zhou stood among the knife-wielding men, listening to the demon patrol guards reading out their missions, feeling vaguely uneasy for some reason.
"...In Liujiazhuang, there is an evil temple with an evil god that gathers more than a thousand demons and evil spirits, and mobs. They have killed seven demon patrol guards and twenty knife-wielding men. Their crimes are extremely heinous and they should all be executed without pardon. A is number 67, number 92, number 35 of number B... number 51 of number D, a total of fifty knife-wielding men and twenty demon patrol guards, who followed Lord Miao Renfeng and five other demon-slaying lieutenants to Liujiazhuang to kill the evil god and the mobs..."
Jiang Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
This was the task assigned yesterday, but a captain and twenty sword-wielding men failed to complete it, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Now we have to send more than twice as many people, including five more demon-slaying captains!
The last time there was such a large formation in Shanyin County, it was only Shi Feng, a captain!
Why would a mission like this be chosen for someone who had only held a knife once?!
Jiang Zhou was just beginning to be horrified when suddenly a demon patrol guard came hurriedly from outside and whispered something in the ear of the person who was announcing the knife-wielding mission.
Then I saw his expression change slightly.
