Ren Tianye was momentarily convinced that he had misjudged these people from the former Demon Suppression Division.

I looked at it again carefully.

He even read it word by word.

I'm sure I wasn't mistaken, that's exactly it!

The person who delivered this letter claims to be a former Demon Suppression Division officer!

Can……

"Didn't I establish the Demon Suppression Division?"

This incident left a very deep impression on Ren Tianye.

Wei Shuo told him about the chaos in the capital and the chaos throughout the world, and suggested that a special department be established to suppress all the bewitching demons in the world and restore a bright and clear world.

Even the name "Demon Suppression Division" was suggested by Wei Shuo, who agreed almost on the spot, which led to the now renowned Demon Suppression Division.

Can,

How come there's a former Demon Suppression Division member?

Ren Tianye immediately ordered his personal guards to summon Su Jin and hand her the letter.

Su Jin was also greatly puzzled after reading it.

"My lord, I don't quite understand this former Demon Suppression Division."

"Has someone from your Demon Suppression Division quit and come all the way to Yunjing?"

Su Jin shook her head and said, "Lord Duke, the Demon Suppression Division is granted special permission by the Emperor to act first and report later. This is already an extremely honorable position, one that many people envy. How could anyone resign so easily?"

"Moreover, the selection process for the Demon Suppression Division is extremely rigorous; those who lack a firm will simply cannot join it."

"Therefore, I can be certain that the person who wrote this letter has no connection with the members of the Demon Suppression Division."

"Then it might be related to Wei Shuo," Ren Tianye said, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine what it might have to do with Wei Shuo.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Send someone to chase after Liu Aijiu first. I'll write a letter to Wei Shuo and ask him..."

As he spoke, Ren Tianye thought, why not just transfer Wei Shuo over?

After this period of time, Sun Xiang had gained a considerable understanding of Kyoto and no longer needed Wei Shuo, who was familiar with the situation. Keeping Wei Shuo in Kyoto would be a waste.

Moreover, who knows what changes might happen in Yunjing next? Having such a great general would provide an extra layer of security.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I'll go right away!"

Su Jin got up and immediately led her men to pursue the enemy towards Yuancheng.

Ren Tianye then summoned his personal guards and inquired in detail about the origin of this mysterious envelope. The result was that it had appeared suddenly without any warning, and they could not find out what this so-called former Demon Suppression Division was all about.

"Continue the investigation!"

"This area is patrolled by guards, and not just anyone can come here. Go find Xu Xia and ask him to cooperate in the investigation. We must find the messenger."

"yes!"

The guards obeyed and left.

Ren Tianye sat alone behind his desk, his gaze lingering on the four characters "Former Demon Suppression Division." The more he looked, the more he felt that the three characters "Demon Suppression Division" seemed to possess some kind of magic.

"Given my personality, I should have carefully considered the name of such a crucial department as the Demon Suppression Division before choosing it. However, I simply listened to Wei Shuo's suggestion and decided on it so easily, without feeling anything was amiss."

"Could it be that there's something strange about the name 'Demon Suppression Division'?"

Ren Tianye touched those three words, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and sudden realization.

……

On the narrow road leading from Huai'an City to Yuan City, a horse-drawn carriage creaked and swayed as it hurried forward.

The coachman drove the carriage, looking somewhat distressed; after all this commotion, his carriage was almost falling apart.

He wanted to take the main road.

But the customer said that if a war were to break out on the main road, he would resolutely refuse to allow it.

He knew about warfare; after all, he had personally witnessed an army marching out of Huai'an City and heading straight for Yuan City.

But those soldiers going to fight are the Duke's troops.

In Huai'an City now, everyone knows that the Duke loves his people like his own children. As long as they don't get involved with things like bewitching demons, the Duke's soldiers won't disturb their livelihoods.

Moreover,

The road is so wide, his little carriage won't cause any problems, what's there to be afraid of?

However, this guest must be allowed to take the back path.

Since he had been paid the full amount of money, the coachman had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue on his way.

Suddenly, a passenger in the car shouted.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, sir?" The coachman quickly stopped the horses.

After the carriage stopped, the guests jumped down and looked back, but Huai'an City had already disappeared from sight.

After a day and a night, he had traveled eighty li and was about to reach Yuancheng.

At most, he will be able to enter Yuan City in half an hour. At that time, what if Ren Tianye of Huai'an City is surprised?

We'll lose him completely!

"Does the Che family have any alcohol?"

"Yes, sir, would you like some wine? But these are all wines for lower classes, I'm afraid you won't be used to them."

The coachman quickly said that although the man in front of him was short and fat and ugly, he was dressed in fine silks and satins, which clearly indicated that he was rich and noble, and probably could not afford the wine served to servants like them.

"No problem, have a drink!"

"Alright." The coachman opened the wine jug, poured a cup for the guest, and handed it to him. Seeing that the guest's face was almost unable to hide his excitement, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what are you celebrating?"

The guest raised his wine cup high, full of pride and satisfaction.

He said, "Celebrate freedom!"

"what?"

"And congratulations to love!"

As he spoke, the guest downed the wine in one gulp. The wine served to people from the lower classes was extremely pungent, causing the guest to cough involuntarily. However, the joy on his face remained undiminished.

He immediately returned to the carriage and told the coachman to continue, but the coachman couldn't help but have some doubts.

This customer knocked on his door yesterday when it was still dark and the sun had not yet risen, and found him.

They were in a hurry.

He hadn't thought much of it at first, but the customer's comment about celebrating freedom made him a little uneasy.

"Could they be robbers?"

"No, he's so frail that he can't even lift a horse."

"That could also be an escaped criminal."

"hiss!"

"If he really is a criminal, wouldn't I be helping him escape? Now that the Duke has entered the city, our lives are visibly going to get better. If I let a criminal escape, wouldn't we be finished?"

The coachman was instantly caught in a dilemma.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to stop and send the person back, or to pretend nothing had happened and finish the job without thinking.

Just then, a horse came galloping from not far away, breaking the silence of the road. It looked like a traveling vendor.

Huai'an City has always been a commercially developed city with many connections to surrounding cities. There are many itinerant vendors, and many of them travel along country roads to reach the surrounding villages.

As a result, the coachman did not pay attention to the traveling vendor when he came over, but unexpectedly, the vendor stopped abruptly after seeing his customer.

He called out, "Master Liu?"

"Is it really you?"

"Why aren't you teaching at the Red Phoenix Pavilion? What brings you here?"
