The wind blows the yellow sand, and the withered grass bends its waist.

Jiang Yuechu reined in his horse and looked back.

The figure in the distance became blurred and eventually disappeared into the dust in the sky.

She looked away and sighed quietly.

Now Henan Circuit is experiencing a severe drought, and Demon is taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

If you can stay here, in half a month, you can harvest thousands of years of Dao Cultivation.

It's a pity though.

But after all, the two of them came from the same school.

It is only natural that senior brother stays to help.

The drudgery of delivering express delivery naturally fell on me, an outsider.

What's more, this trip to Tai Lake has already made a lot of money, so you can't be too greedy.

With this in mind, Jiang Yuechu no longer worries.

"Drive!"

Cloud Tide neighs, and there are clouds on all four hooves.

One person and one rider turned into a silver Streak of Light, heading west along the official road.

After Henan Circuit, after Tong Pass, it is the boundary of Guannei Circuit.

Jiang Yuechu is alone, spending the night in Xiaoxing.

It only took more than ten days.

The majestic imperial capital that dominates Guanzhong and swallows up thousands of miles is already in sight.

Seeing the ten-foot-high blue-grey city wall again, Jiang Yuechu actually felt a bit like he was in another world.

It was only early autumn when I left Beijing.

Now that I'm back, it's almost winter.

The willow trees by the moat have long since lost all their leaves, leaving only dry branches beating on the water in the cold wind.

City gate.

The bustling crowd formed a long queue.

Although Silver Robe of Jiang Yuechu had been damaged by Jiangnan, it was just a simple black outfit at this time.

But the Cloud Tide who stepped down had already identified herself for her.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw it, they did not dare to stop him in the slightest. They quickly clasped their fists in salute and respectfully let him go.

Jiang Yuechu did not dismount, but nodded slightly and rode into the city.

The noisy sound of people rushed towards us.

After a brief experience, I didn't stay too long and went straight to the east side of Imperial City.

Demon Suppression General Bureau.

Twelve black-armored Demon Suppression Guard stood holding halberds, their bodies as pine-like, motionless.

The leading guard was bored and counting the fallen leaves on the ground, thinking about which wine shop to go to to warm up after his shift.

Da da da--

A crisp sound of horse hooves broke the dead silence of the long street.

The guard raised his eyelids and glanced casually.

This glance made his pupils shrink suddenly.

At the end of the long street, I saw a man and a horse coming slowly.

The horse is all white, has a single horn on its forehead, has clouds on its four hooves, and does not touch dust when it walks.

"Cloud Tide?!"

The guard's heart skipped a beat.

As the gatekeeper of the Demon Suppression General Bureau, I still have some perspective.

This is the mount that Silver Robe Inspector is eligible to equip!

The entire General Headquarters, the number of people who can ride this thing can be counted on two hands.

Which adult has returned to Beijing?

He did not dare to neglect, straightened his back quickly, and winked at the brothers behind him.

Wait until the man and horse get closer.

The guard saw clearly the man on horseback.

Wearing a black outfit, dusty and dusty.

But that's not the point.

The point is that face.

"This..."

The guard was stunned.

Why does this face look familiar?

Before he could search for the corresponding name in his mind.

The girl reined in the reins and spoke calmly.

"What, you don't recognize it?"

The guard was shaken.

"Ginger...Lord Jiang?!"

"It's me."

Jiang Yuechu got off his horse and handed the reins to the stunned guard standing by.

"Excuse me, please take the horse to the stable and feed it some good fodder."

The guard hurriedly took the reins.

"Yes... yes! I humbly obey my orders!"

Just crossed the threshold.

He ran into a group of people hurriedly walking out.

The leader was frowning and explaining something to the people around him.

"This batch of supplies must be sent to West Jiangnan Circuit as soon as possible. The rush there is tight..."

"Also, over there Henan Circuit..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to notice that someone was blocking his way and raised his head impatiently.

"Ginger General of the Guard? Oh no, Ginger Patrol?!"

This voice directly attracted the attention of everyone around him.

Jiang Yuechu stopped and smiled slightly.

"Master Cui, you are fine."

Cui Yuan swallowed and looked her up and down.

"You... you returned to Beijing?"

"Just arrived."

Cui Yuan immediately came forward and asked in a low voice:

"Tai Lake That thing... is it true?"

In the past few days, Capital City has been going viral.

It is said that General Headquarters has a new Silver Robe Inspector, Jiang Yuechu Jiang patrolling, Jiangdong Tai Lake, and Lotus-Planting Realm Demon King was killed with one knife.

When I first heard the news, Cui Yuan was in disbelief.

Are you kidding me?

He personally led the other party into Martial Temple. How long has it been?

Kill Lotus-Planting?

No storyteller would dare to make it up like this!

But then, the good news of Jiangdong Regional Command came to General Headquarters.

No wonder he didn't believe it.

Jiang Yuechu looked calm and did not deny it.

"Just good luck."

"Good luck?"

Cui Yuan The corners of his mouth twitched.

I also want to have good luck, but why don't I have this fate?

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and put on a complicated smile on his face.

"Lord Jiang... Too modest."

"Nowadays, who among General Headquarters doesn't know your name?"

"Seventeen-year-old Silver Robe, counter-attack Lotus-Planting..."

Cui Yuan shook his head, his tone a bit sad.

"I think back then, when you first came to Chang'an, you were led there by your subordinate Martial Temple..."

"In a blink of an eye, you are already a big shot who can take charge of your own business."

Jiang Yuechu is not good at this kind of small talk, so he just nodded.

"I'm going to ask Deputy Commander-in-Chief to return my life, so I won't talk more."

"Oh! Yes! Business is important!"

Cui Yuan seemed to be waking up from a dream, and quickly stepped aside to get out of the way. "Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao is discussing something in the main hall, please come quickly."

Jiang Yuechu is also welcome and steps in.

Watching the tall black figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

Cui Yuan stood in place and did not move for a long time.

The subordinate next to him approached cautiously.

"Master Cui... is this the legendary Inspector Jiang?"

"She looks about the same age as my girl. Are you really that capable?"

Cui Yuan sneered and turned around to glare at his subordinate.

"You know nothing, I am an emperor..."

Halfway through his words, he realized he had made a mistake and coughed quickly.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, don't talk too much!"

In the main hall.

Zhao Zhongliu still looks lazy.

Below, several people were reporting in low voices the situation in various places.

Most of them were trivial things, which made the old man feel a little sleepy.

"Report--"

An announcement came from outside the door.

"Silver Robe Inspector envoy, Jiang Yuechu, return to Beijing and resume your orders!"

Hear the words.

Zhao Zhongliu's half-closed eyes opened instantly, shining brightly.

"Let her in."

Several people in the hall also looked at each other, closed their mouths one after another, and all looked at the door.

These days, this name is so popular.

Soon.

A black figure crossed the threshold and strode into the hall.

No unnecessary nonsense.

Jiang Yuechu walked into the hall, cupped his fists and saluted with a cold voice.

"Humble position Jiang Yuechu, see Deputy Commander-in-Chief envoy."
