"I really don't dare to be a great gift from the old man. We are also a person who travels by staying by the side, not from Liujiazhuang." The middle-aged man in gray robe quickly stood up and bowed.

"Oh? Everyone is not from the village?" Di Renjie asked in surprise.

"We are from Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and we are not from local people." The man in the green robe suddenly replied, his eyes flashing, and he looked at Li Yuanfang and others on the other side and said:

"I think my father-in-law is elegant in his conversation and has so many guards to accompany him. He must be not an ordinary doctor of You Fang."

Di Renjie looked at him carefully, with pale cheeks, slender figure, and a narrow-sleeved tray collar. Di Renjie smiled with his hands on his back and said, "Oh, do you want to ask this hero?"

The man in green looked at Di Renjie and said, "Judged from the temperament and conversation, my father must be a famous scholar in the country."

On the opposite side, Li Yuanfang, Ruyan and others looked at each other when they heard Di Renjie’s conversation and smiled. Di Renjie smiled and said, “The hero has been awarded too much. How dare a man from the mountains and fields be a 'famous soldier.’ I think the hero is not an ordinary person who walks around?”

The man in green suddenly laughed: "Then please guess it, just make fun."

Di Renjie looked at him with a smile and said, "The hero's eyes are filled with sword energy, and his character is quite good. If he guessed well, the hero must be a descendant of the sect."

The man in green was stunned: "Oh? The children of the clan?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "The hero is a master in Taiyue Sect!"

The man in blue widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears, and could not speak for a moment.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Why, I guessed wrong?"

The man in green took a deep breath: "No, no, it's right. We are indeed a person in Taiyue Sect, old man, how could you know?"

Di Renjie said to the man in green: "Just from your outfit, in my Great Zhou, only the people from Taiyue Sect embroidered the three mountain marks on the cuffs of the robe they were wearing." He said that, looking at the three mountain marks on the cuffs of the man in green.

The man in green was startled and quickly looked at the mark on his cuffs and hesitated:

"The father-in-law is also a cultivator? But you..." He really couldn't imagine that this fat old man was also a cultivator. After all, ordinary people would not know the division of cultivators. Could it be that this old man pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and was a cultivator? But in the cultivation world, I have never heard of such an old man? Could it be that he is really a hermit master?

Di Renjie looked at the man in green who was thinking hard, stroked his beard and smiled:

"The hero doesn't have to think too much. I am not a practitioner. I just read a few more books in my spare time to learn such secrets."

The man in blue dared not be careless. If the old man in front of him was not a cultivator, he actually knew about the matter in the cultivation world and his identity would definitely be extraordinary, either from a large family or...

"Let's go, Li Qingfeng, the Taiyue Sect of Jingzhou, this is my senior brother Zhang Xuanqing." The man in green bowed and said his name, then raised his hand to point at the middle-aged man who came here with Di Renjie and others and introduced.

"In the next step, these are all old nephews." Di Renjie also bowed and pointed at Li Yuanfang and others on the opposite side and said.

"I wonder why you stay here overnight, Mr. Li?" Di Renjie asked.

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "My father-in-law doesn't know that this Liujia Village is the guardian land assigned by the Daojisi of Jingzhou to me by Taiyue Sect. Just because a flood in Jingzhou a month ago, a fish demon suddenly appeared in Yanting Lake nearby, which devoured countless people from the Great Zhou Dynasty and had harmed many surrounding villages. We were sent by the Daojisi to subdue the fish demon, so we dispersed the mountain people here and planned to kill the fish demon here today."

"Oh? Fish demon?" Di Renjie heard that there was a fish demon in trouble. Although he knew that this was an extraordinary world, he was still a little shocked. Li Yuanfang and others were also in an uproar when they heard about the fish demon. After all, they had only heard of the monsters, but they didn't expect that they would really meet them today.

For a moment, Li Yuanfang and others felt a little scared and expectant. After all, this was a legendary fish demon. Di Renjie calmed down and frowned and murmured: "Now these monsters dare to kill my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty in a pretentious way? What does the government here do for food?" Although Di Renjie knew that the Great Zhou was already terminally ill and his control over the local area had declined a bit. But he didn't expect that it would drop so much, and some monsters dared to openly eat people and harm people.

Li Qingfeng is a cultivator, and Di Renjie's murmur made him hear it clearly. He couldn't help but smile bitterly at Di Renjie:

"The father-in-law doesn't know anything. A mere fish demon is nothing, hey! Just..."

"How dare the officials here do this? If something big happens, no personnel from the state will be sent to investigate?" Di Renjie couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Xuanqing next to him suddenly said angrily:

"What can I say about junior brother? It's not that those officials don't treat people like us as people! Naturally, they won't care about our lives or death!"

"Senior brother... don't talk nonsense..." Li Qingfeng looked at Di Renjie nervously and scolded Zhang Xuanqing.

Di Renjie frowned and his anger rose. These local officials were so brave that they completely ignored the lives and death of the people of Dazhou.

"Is there no one in the prefecture?" Di Renjie asked again.

"Hey! The provincial capital is not careless, but in recent years, there have been many incidents of demons hurting and eating people, so the provincial capital cannot control it at all. Therefore, the current Jingzhou Governor Lord Zhu ordered the entire Jingzhou to be divided into several areas and the cultivation sects in various places to guard it, and the provincial capital will give money and food."

"What about the garrisons in Jingzhou? Can't they deal with monsters?" Li Yuanfang, Ruyan and others surrounded him. Just now, Ruyan was curious and couldn't help asking.

Li Qingfeng glanced at Ruyan and said:

"These local defenders are no better than the imperial guards of the Shendu. The border troops have been through many battles and have evil spirits to protect their bodies. They are all mobs who have not gone through the battlefield and are neglected to train. They can protect their houses and the demons are still acceptable...haha..."

"That is, the governor Biao camp stationed in Xiangyang Prefecture is useful, but unfortunately there are too few people and can only guard a corner of Xiangyang."

"It seems that the governor of Jingzhou is not an incompetent person. He also knows how to judge the situation and use it well." Li Yuanfang suddenly said.

"Mr. Zhu is naturally a good official, but the local powerful and powerful aristocratic families are growing bigger, and some of them are unable to exert their skills. Otherwise, Jingzhou would not be like this." After hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Li admires this Governor Zhu very much?" Di Renjie smiled while stroking his beard.

"Mr. Zhu has been to Jingzhou for many years and has done a lot of practical things, so I naturally admire him! Unfortunately, Master Zhu has managed it for so many years and Jingzhou has finally improved a little, and then it was destroyed by this flood again." Li Qingfeng shook his head and sighed.
