Catching Monsters

Chapter 278 Ao Yu
Inside Sanqing Temple.

"Master, reciting scriptures every day is too boring." Qin Shujian sat on the futon, looked at Jiang Yun who was meditating next to him, and asked curiously: "When can my junior brother and I join the Jinyiwei?"

Wen Chen, who was meditating seriously next to him, was also tickled by this topic. He opened his eyes and said with shining eyes, "Yes, Master."

You know, although he is now a disciple of Sanqing Temple, when he occasionally returns home, his father always asks him when he can officially join the Jinyiwei and bring honor to the family.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes, rolled his eyes at them, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until your strength breaks through to the eighth-grade Taoist spell-casting realm before you are qualified to join the Jinyiwei."

"Hey, Master, aren't you a centurion? These are all our own people." Qin Shujian said with a smile, "What qualifications are there?"

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes at this guy and said in a deep voice: "You guy, do you think joining Jinyiwei is a treat? It's to subdue demons and monsters, catch ghosts and capture monsters."

"If you meet the requirements, then join again, it will be for the good of both of you."

"It's time for dinner." Xu Suwen's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, Master's wife." Qin Shujian and Wen Chen quickly got up and ran out.

Xu Suwen personally cooked a table of dishes. Jiang Yun walked into the next room, looked at the food on the table, and asked in confusion: "You cooked so much today?"

"Xiaogang will come over later. He will set out to Zhenchi Army soon." Just as Xu Su finished asking the question, footsteps were heard outside Sanqing Temple, and Xu Xiaogang walked in from outside in high spirits.

"Brother-in-law, sister." Xu Xiaogang trotted along, looking at the table full of food. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Yun asked curiously, "What happened in the court today? Suddenly, you were asked to return to Zhenchi Army, and you agreed."

"I can't tell you for now." Xu Xiaogang glanced at Qin Shujian and Wen Chen.

Qin Shujian and Wen Chen also knew that they were the only ones here, so they didn't know how to talk.

Qin Shujian casually put some food into the bowl and said, "Come on, Junior Brother, let's go for a walk."

After seeing the two of them leave, Xu Xiaogang told them what happened in the court. After listening, Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Destroy the 200,000-strong Hu army?"

"That's right." Xu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said excitedly, "If we can really wipe out this Hu army completely..."

At this moment, Xu Suwen couldn't help but ask, "What about our father? Is he also in the Hu army?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaogang fell silent and nodded.

"There are bound to be casualties in war. I came here to say goodbye to my sister and brother-in-law." Xu Xiaogang said in a deep voice: "As for mother, I won't go over. You know, mother is a sentimental person. She will inevitably nag again."

After a moment of silence, Xu Suwen reminded Xu Xiaogang: "Pay attention to your safety."

"Don't worry, when I come back from the war this time, His Majesty will definitely reward me. When you two get married, I will give it to you and it will be your dowry." Xu Xiaogang said with a smile.

After a simple meal, Jiang Yun soon received a task and was told that there was an urgent matter, so he hurried back to the East Pacification Office.

Arriving outside Yang Liunian's study, Jiang Yun raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened.

"Master Qianhu, what's the urgent task?" Jiang Yun walked into the room easily. Yang Liunian took out a document, handed it to Jiang Yun, and said, "Yes, tomorrow morning, the demon country in the east will send an important person over, claiming that they want to investigate something."

"Eunuch Feng specifically asked you to accompany him."

After all, the people from the Eastern Demon Country are monsters, and their living habits are somewhat different, so the imperial court usually sends people to accompany them.

When Jiang Yun heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he understood that this important person was probably here to investigate Fang Jiuyou's death.

He coughed, took the document and said, "Yes, I will bring my men to keep an eye on it then..."

Yang Liunian then asked with a smile on his face: "I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo has gone out to lead the troops again? This is good news..."

"Commander Li also talked to me about this. He said that His Majesty meant that the Duke of Zhenguo was going out to lead the troops to fight, so we should take good care of the family members of the Duke of Zhenguo. You definitely meet the criteria..."

"Captain Zhou Yi is going to be transferred to the Northern Pacification Division as the Pacification Envoy..."

"I mean, Eunuch Feng, why don't you say a few good words for me? The position of the governor of the Eastern Pacification Division has always been vacant."

"I still want to contribute more to the court and sweat more."

"If I go up, the position of Qianhu will be yours."

When Yang Liunian heard that Zhou Yi was going to be transferred to lead the Northern Pacification Division, he was so envious that his mouth was almost watering.

So he also wanted to try his best to make it work.

Jiang Yun listened to this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Qianhu, I will talk to Eunuch Feng later."

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I can see that you haven't been sleeping well recently. I have some supplements here. Take them back and try them."

"Captain Yang, please don't do this. This is not nice. How can a boss give gifts to his subordinates?"

"These are all specialties brought by my family. They are not worth much."

Jiang Yun's face darkened, and he thought to himself, of course I know it's not valuable. If it were valuable, would I not want it?

Due to Yang Liunian's enthusiasm, Jiang Yun still accepted the supplements.

Walking out of Yang Liunian's house, Jiang Yun's mind was not on this matter, but on how the big man sent by the Eastern Demon Country would investigate Fang Jiuyou's death. If the Eastern Demon Country really found out that it was related to him, could Eunuch Feng protect himself?
This also needs to be questioned...

The next morning, Jiang Yun led his Qi Da and more than 30 of Qi Da's men and waited outside the east wall of the capital.

After all, we are just welcoming the other party, so there is no need for too many people to come.

In the early morning, the common people and vendors who were preparing to enter the capital city would stop and look curiously at Jiang Yun and his group of Jinyiwei from time to time.

They were all curious and wondering what kind of person would require so many Jinyiwei to wait here.

Soon, a strange carriage slowly came from the official road.

What was strange was that there was nothing in front of the carriage, and its wheels were rolling, slowly heading towards the capital.

Many people along the way were frightened when the caravan saw it, thinking they had seen a ghost.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, and could feel the strong demonic aura emanating from the carriage.

It seems that this is the big shot of the demon clan.

Soon, the carriage slowly stopped, and Jiang Yun walked up quickly with a group of Jinyiwei. Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yun, the captain of the East Pacification Division, is ordered to wait for the distinguished guests here."

The door curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and a fair and beautiful woman about twenty years old slowly walked out.

She had fair skin, a frosty face, and was wearing a clean white dress. Looking at this woman, one seemed to find that she looked less demonic and more fairy-like.

"Excuse me, is this the capital?" The woman looked at the towering city walls and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "It's not as grand as the legend says. It's just ordinary and mediocre."

"Girl, I..."

Suddenly, a murderous look appeared in the woman's eyes, and she stared at Jiang Yun: "You called me Miss, too?"

In an instant, Jiang Yun seemed to fall into an ice cave. He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Ru, what's your name?"

"My name is Ao Yu."

"Of course you should call me Master Ao Yu."

"Okay, Master Ao Yu."

After getting off the carriage, Ao Yu instantly attracted countless eyes.

The vendors and common people who were queuing around waiting to enter the city were all stunned.

There are such beautiful women in the world.

Ao Yu frowned. She felt uncomfortable being stared at by humans. She said coldly, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes."

Seeing that Ao Yu had a bad temper, Jiang Yun could only be patient and welcome her into the city.

Looking at the bustling streets, Ao Yu said calmly, "Find me a place to rest first."

Soon, Jiang Yun led her into the inner city and arranged her in a superior guest room.

After sitting down in the room, Ao Yu slowly said to Jiang Yun and others: "I came here this time to investigate a case."

"Someone from our demon clan died near the capital."

"The Demon King is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

"We must find out the cause of his death and bring the real culprit to justice."

"In broad daylight, someone is trying to murder a monster. Is there any law?"

Jiang Yun was somewhat speechless, and he forced out an awkward smile and said, "Lord Ao Yu, if you need any help in the investigation, you can always tell us, our Jinyiwei..."

"Captain Jiang, your smile looks a little guilty, doesn't it?" Ao Yu stared at Jiang Yun with cold eyes and said slowly: "A normal smile for you humans wouldn't be this stiff, right?"

Jiang Yun immediately smiled like a cheerful and sunny boy: "Master Ao Yu, are you satisfied with this smile?"

"um, I……"

Suddenly, Ao Yu fell on the table with a thud and became motionless.

Jiang Yun was stunned. What was going on?
died?

Are you here to commit fraud?

I didn't do anything.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and probed Ao Yu's breath...
