The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things

Chapter 231 The Lost Jianmen Mansion

A few days later, a team of warriors on fast horses hurried to Jinguan City.

They are the criminal hunters of the Chu State who are responsible for capturing fugitives. This time they came to Jinguan City just for Yang Qing.

Unfortunately, although they rushed here as quickly as possible after receiving Yang Qing's message, they still came to nothing after arriving at Jinguan City.

At this time, Yang Qing was no longer in Jinguan City, so he was sent away by the officials from Shu Kingdom with just a few words.

"yawn!"

I don’t know if someone was thinking about him, but Yang Qing, who was nearly a thousand miles away, sneezed loudly.

Beside him were Hua Shaojun, Yuan Su and Nie Youjiu.

Because he owed Ye Chenhu a favor, and when that guy learned that Yang Qing would not stay in Jinguan City, he immediately asked Yang Qing to repay the favor.

The price of this favor was that Yang Qing had to go on a mission for their Suppression of Evils Division and complete a task.

Hua Shaojun and Yuan Su standing by were the entourage this time. When Yang Qing broke into Wanyi Building, they had been stationed on the seventh and fourth floors respectively.

As for Nie Youjiu, it was Yang Qing who asked him to accompany them.

Before Yang Qing went to break into Wanyi Tower, he suggested to Nie Youjiu that he would bet on his success in climbing the tower, and in fact, Yang Qing did succeed.

Afterwards, when Nie Youjiu went to cash in the 75,000 taels of silver, he was cheated by the dealer of the gambling den.

Seventy-five thousand taels may not sound like much, but it is a huge sum when you calculate it carefully.

According to the calculation that an ordinary girl in Wanhua Tower could sleep for one night for five taels of silver, 75,000 taels of silver could be used to keep an eighteen-year-old girl sleeping with him until she was almost sixty, even if one went to Wanhua Tower every day.

The most infuriating thing is that due to Yang Qing's success in reaching the top this time, almost all the participating peripheral gambling dens were defeated, except for the one where Nie Youjiu placed his bet.

Seeing that other people were making a lot of money while he lost everything, the dealer behind the gambling den almost hated Nie Youjiu to death.

Of all the casinos out there, why did they choose me?

However, due to Nie Youjiu's background as a night watchman, he was only humiliated at that time.

Then, the next day, someone found Nie Youjiu's residence and wanted to spend 12,000 taels of silver to buy his gambling deposit slip.

However, Nie Youjiu was not stupid. He naturally refused to use such obvious means, but in the following few days, he could not get any money no matter what.

The gambling den didn't say they wouldn't give him the money, they just kept dragging their feet and even made things difficult for him.

Nie Youjiu's cultivation was not high, and he was addicted to gambling and drinking, so he had few friends, and naturally no one would stand up for him.

This situation continued until Yang Qing came to him.

Because of his heroic feat of breaking into Wanyi Building alone, the dealer of the gambling den naturally knew how powerful Yang Qing was.

When he saw that it was Yang Qing who came in person to ask for money, he was so scared that he not only gave the money without hesitation, but also apologized to Nie Youjiu.

That attitude was extremely sincere.

After taking the money, Nie Youjiu gave most of the banknotes to Yang Qing and only took a few thousand taels for himself.

But not surprisingly, he used the money to drink and play.

At this point, Yang Qing knew that Nie Youjiu was not able to keep his wealth, so he found his niece Luo Qingfu and gave her all the 70,000 taels of silver, asking her to use the money to buy a house for Nie Youjiu and exchange for some resources for cultivation.

Yang Qing even wanted Luo Qingfu to use the money to help Nie Youjiu find a mortal wife, so that he could calm down and have more children for the Nie family.

He was captured by Yang Qing and asked to accompany him on the journey. As there were still a few days left on the journey, Yang Qing planned to teach him some of his skills.

It can also be regarded as leaving some inheritance for Old Man Nie's descendants.

Nie Youjiu's soul weapon is the sword, and Yang Qing taught him the two skills of Drizzle Sword Technique and Lingbo Weibu along the way.

With these two skills, I believe it should be enough to be a mediocre night watchman in Jinguan City.

As for the jade slip that Old Man Nie left to Yang Qing, Yang Qing left it to Luo Qingfu.

Perhaps it was because she had witnessed Yang Qing's strength, or because she knew about Nie Wujiu's past, so this time Luo Qingfu did not refuse and accepted the jade slip very solemnly.

Yang Qing and his three companions traveled carefully all the way, and finally arrived outside a seemingly deserted city after five days.

Jianmen Prefecture is the destination of Yang Qing and his companions this time.

Six or seven days ago, a carrier pigeon letter asking for help arrived in Jinguan City.

Jianmen Prefecture was suddenly attacked by a large number of evil spirits. Due to the hasty battle, Jianmen Prefecture only held out for less than four hours before the city was declared broken.

According to the monks who escaped, there were a large number of third-level evil spirits among the evil spirits that attacked Jianmen Mansion.

As for whether there are evil spirits above the fourth level, the current information is still unknown.

However, Jianmen Prefecture itself is close to the border of Shu State and has border troops stationed there. Moreover, the border garrison commander Yan Xu and Jianmen Prefecture prefect Liu Baizhou are both masters who have reached the realm of life and soul for many years.

Coupled with the strength of the government army and the Night Patrol, even if they were suddenly attacked by evil spirits, it would be impossible for them to fall within a few hours.

The mission of Yang Qing and his companions this time is to go to Jianmen Prefecture and find out the real reason why the city fell.

If you encounter an evil spirit below the third level, kill it on the spot. If you encounter an evil spirit above the fourth level, do whatever is appropriate and wait for reinforcements.

"Let's go into the city first and see what's going on inside. It would be best if we could find the remaining Night Patrol in the city."

It was daytime at this time. Yang Qing used his magical power of seeing through walls to take a quick look and found that there were still human figures moving around in many places in the city.

Of course, there are also many evil spirits lurking in the dark corners of many buildings.

The Jianmen Mansion was breached not long ago, and now there are a lot of evil spirits remaining in the city. During the day, the evil spirits will hide in order to avoid the sunlight, and start hunting at night.

The remaining humans in the city did just the opposite. During the day they would begin to systematically clear out the hidden evil spirits one by one, and at night they would hide in the newly built fortifications to prevent the invasion of evil spirits.

Jianmen Prefecture cannot be lost due to its geographical location, so during this period of time, human monks and evil spirits have been constantly struggling in this city.

The surrounding towns also continued to send reinforcements to Jianmen Prefecture, and Yang Qing and his companions were just one of them.

As they entered the city, they soon discovered a commotion not far from the city gate. After Yang Qing and the others looked at each other, they quickly rushed towards the building.

"Quick! Quick! Stop it!"

“No, there are three or four of them in there.

Oh no, Qiu Laoliu is injured, hurry up, save him!"

"Where are the Tiger Leak Bombs? Hurry up and throw them to lure those evil spirits away."

Before Yang Qing and his companions got close, they heard several people shouting inside.

Yang Qing took the lead and jumped onto the wall next to him. He saw about seven or eight monks inside, who were besieging several evil spirits hiding in the house.

However, it seems that these people are not strong enough. It is not known whether the evil spirit has been killed, but several people have been injured and have just been rescued by their companions.

If it weren't for the daytime, the evil spirits would not dare to stay in the sun, and the several monks who were encircling and suppressing the evil spirits would probably have to die here.

At this time, in the courtyard of the mansion, several monks who had escaped by chance still had panic on their faces, and a second-level evil licking beast was burying its body in the shadow of the courtyard corridor, staring at the monks with a fierce look.

And in the house behind him, there seemed to be a lot of evil spirits lurking.
