Lin Xu stayed in Zhou Yang's mansion for the night. The demonic beast did not appear tonight. Lin Xu was tired from traveling for a day, so he was not in a hurry to subdue the demonic beast today.
The next morning, a servant came to report that Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dong Bo, had arrived at Fangyang City ahead of time. Lin Xu followed Zhou Yang to the entrance of Fangyang City to welcome them. After all, they were in someone else's territory, so they had to be polite.
In terms of status, Jiang Huanchu was also the leader of the four dukes, and his daughter was the queen. He had the status of a relative of the country, so his status was even higher than Lin Xu's!
Jiang Huanchu didn't bring many soldiers with him. He only brought a few hundred guards with him. However, there were five middle-aged men in Taoist robes who were quite eye-catching!
Jiang Huanchu dismounted at the entrance of Fangyang City, and Zhou Yang quickly went up to him.
"Lord Marquis, I thought I would arrive at noon. I didn't expect you to arrive so early!”Zhou Yang cupped his hands and bowed to Jiang Huanchu.
"Zhou Hou, there is no need to be so polite. I am just worried that the people will be persecuted by that monster again!”Jiang Huanchu waved his hand and explained.
"Lord Marquis, the East Chamber's Admiral Lord Lin also came to my Fangyang City last night for this demonic beast matter. He's at the city gate! Let's go over!" Zhou Yang said.
"Oh? This matter has alarmed the East Chamber.”Jiang Huanchu was a little surprised that he had just received the news yesterday. He didn't expect that Lin Xu had already received the news yesterday. Jiang Huanchu couldn't help but sigh. The East Factory's intelligence was amazing!
When Lin Xu saw Zhou Yang and Jiang Huanchu walking over, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed.""Uncle Jiang Xian, greetings from Lin Xu of the Eastern Bureau!”
"How could I trouble Lord Lin to personally welcome me?”Jiang Huanchu returned the greeting with a smile.
"Count Jiang Xian has a prominent position and is also an elder. Moreover, he leads the 200 dukes of Dong Lu and is also the country's ruler. It is only right for me to come and welcome him!”Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Lord Lin is too polite. I have to trouble Lord Lin to come all the way here personally for this remote town.”Jiang Huanchu replied politely.
"The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the stability of the country. Sigh! Yaoyang was incompetent and could not solve the drought in the south and the flood in the north. However, Brilliant Sun could contribute to this matter!”Lin Xu said to Jiang Huanchanchu, pretending to be a country and a citizen.
"What a good saying! If the current emperor could understand the importance of the people like Lord Lin, the world would be safe!”Jiang Huanchu's eyes lit up, and his impression of Lin Xu improved a lot.
When the officials and bystanders heard Lin Xu's words, they nodded in admiration and discussed animatedly!
"Lord Lin is indeed a good official!”
"Yeah, just like the rumors say, he's a loyal man!”
"Lord Lin came all the way from Zhaoge just for this. How nice it would be if Lord Lin became the emperor!”
"Buttface, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!”
Lin
Xu listened to the discussions of the commoners and was delighted.'This pretentious act is not bad. I give myself 100 points. I believe that what I said today will definitely be spread by the commoners and add to my glorious image!'
At this time, the five Taoist priests walked over. Lin Xu asked Jiang Huanchu,""Are these five people the same?"
"This poor priest, Gold Spirit (Wood Spirit, Water Spirit, Fire Spirit, Earth Spirit) greets Inspector Lin!”The five Daoists cupped their hands and bowed to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu returned their greeting. At this moment, Jiang Huanchu introduced,""These five Taoist priests were invited by me to subdue this demon beast. The five of you are all capable people. I believe you will definitely be able to subdue this demon beast!”
"Since the five Taoist masters are so powerful, it seems that I don't have to make a move.”Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Admiral Lin is too polite. I will do my best to destroy this demon!”The five of them said in unison.
Lin Xu observed these five people. They didn't seem to be on the Investiture of the Gods, so they shouldn't be very powerful. However, their faces were strange. One had a golden face, one had a green face, one had a feminine face, one had a red face, and one had an ashen face. Just like their names, they had five elements and five colors. It should be related to cultivation techniques!
"Alright! Everyone! Please let this one go to the residence to discuss it in detail!" Zhou Yang greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Lin, please!" Jiang Huanchu extended his hand and said.
"Uncle Jiang Xian, please!" Lin Xu also greeted them politely, then mounted their horses and headed towards the Marquis 'fu!
When they arrived at the living room, it was already noon. Zhou Yang instructed the servants to prepare a banquet, and the few of them sat down.
Zhou Yang had already instructed the servants to prepare food and wine. Now that the food and wine were served, everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while. Lin Xu took a sip of wine and asked the five Taoists,"I wonder if the five of you know what this demonic beast is? So cruel and violent?"
"Lord Lin, according to what the witnesses have said, this beast should be an ancient ferocious beast, Qiong Qi!”The boss of the five men, Jin Ling, answered Lin Xu's words.
"I wonder what ability this demonic beast has?”Lin Xu continued to ask. He was very concerned about the ability of his mount.
"This demonic beast is extremely strong, and its defense is not weak.”It was still Jin Ling who answered.
"I wonder how confident the five of you are in eliminating this beast!”Zhou Yang asked.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence in killing this beast, so I can only give it a try. The five of us have a method to trap people and see if it works! He did not dare to boast that he would definitely subdue this beast, so he could only do his best!”Jin Ling said helplessly.
Zhou Yang was a little disappointed, but he still stood up and cupped his hands.""Then I'll have to trouble the five Taoist masters. You must destroy this demon and save the people of my Yang City!”
Just as the few of them were discussing the demon beast, a soldier ran into the living room in a panic. He knelt on one knee and reported,"Milords, the monster has appeared again. It's five miles outside Fang Yang City!”
Hearing this, everyone stood up. Lin Xu said to them,"There's no time to lose. Let's rush over now!”
