Catching Monsters

Chapter 145 Jiang Zongqi
After coming out of Tianqing Temple, Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang rushed back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as soon as possible.

He also didn't expect that the little evil creature that followed him yesterday would be so important.

The two of them rushed back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and the courtyard where Jiang Yun lived, and were preparing to conduct a thorough search of the mansion.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound was heard coming from the yard next door where Xu Suwen and Jiang Qiaoqiao lived.

The two hurried to the entrance of the yard.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was holding the little guy in her arms, feeding him a lot of cakes.

No matter what food you put near its mouth, it will eat it in one bite.

When Jiang Yun saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least the little guy was still there.

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked up and saw the two of them coming back. She smiled and said, "Brother, look, I found this little animal."

"It probably ate it. It can eat anything in one mouthful."

Hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, Jiang Yun also forced a smile on his face, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Gugu, come to me."

Unexpectedly, the little guy hid in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms and was unwilling to come to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was stunned. It seemed that he had attacked it repeatedly yesterday and it must have been frightened?
Xu Xiaogang was also nearby. He curiously stretched out his hand and teased, "Then come over to me?"

Unexpectedly, the little guy opened his mouth and spit at Xu Xiaogang.

"Oh my god, you little thing, don't be so shameless..."

Jiang Yun tried several other methods, such as putting the dessert in his own hand and letting it eat.

But it didn't dare.

It seems that it is only close to Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao asked curiously: "Brother, do you know it?"

"I guess so." Jiang Yun looked at it hiding in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms, sighed and said, "Since it likes you, then you can keep it for now."

At least this Gugu is used to cure diseases and save lives, so it shouldn't pose any threat.

Jiang Qiaoqiao heard this and said happily: "What should we name it? It keeps cooing, why not call it Xiao Hei."

"Coo, coo, coo." Xiao Hei, who was lying in Jiang Qiaoqiao's arms, actually nodded.

"How did you find it?" Jiang Yun asked curiously.

Jiang Qiaoqiao simply recounted what happened in the morning, including how she accidentally cut herself while cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

Then Xiao Hei licked the wound with his tongue, and it healed quickly without any scar.

Jiang Yun's eyes lit up slightly. This little guy's ability was greater than he had imagined.

"This is stone. You can't eat it."

At this time, Xiao Hei was jumping around in the yard, wanting to taste the saltiness of everything he saw.

Jiang Qiaoqiao followed closely behind and played around.

At the same time, Butler Wu also walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, the Eastern Pacification Office just sent a letter saying that you and the young master should go back."

"it is good."

Hearing Wu Chi's voice, Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang looked at each other, then got up and left.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult to get used to traveling in such a big capital city without any means of transportation.

Every time I went out to work at the East Zhenfu Division, I had to walk for nearly an hour.

Especially for those who practice Taoism like Jiang Yun, their physical fitness is always a little worse.

But Xu Xiaogang, who practices martial arts, did not feel anything. For a martial arts master like him who has reached the sixth level of Xiantian realm, even if he ran for an hour in one breath, as long as he had enough mana, he should not feel tired.

When they returned to the East Pacification Office, it was exactly noon. The two of them came to Yang Liunian's study, knocked on the door, and the door opened.

It was dinner time and the table was filled with food.

Yang Liunian was eating. When he saw the two people coming, he smiled and said, "You're here? Haven't eaten yet? Sit down and eat together."

The two of them were not polite. After they sat down, Yang Liunian also ate while talking about business: "I called you two over. This is what happened."

"Jiang Yun's promotion to the general flag is almost done, but there is a bit of a stuck in the procedure."

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile: "Master Qianhu, I wonder which link is stuck?"

Yang Liunian sighed: "We have our own rules for official promotion in the Great Zhou..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun immediately understood, thought about it, and handed over the only one hundred taels of silver he had left.

Yang Liunian looked at the one hundred taels of silver and was stunned for a moment. Who could this little money be used to establish connections with?

"Captain Yang, this is all I have left..."

Yang Liunian closed his eyes, sighed, and accepted the one hundred taels of silver: "Jiang Yun, it's not that I want to take your silver."

"If I don't accept it, how can the commander accept it?"

"Alright, Commander Li has approved your raising of the general flag."

"From now on, Jiang Yun, you are the official general of our Jinyiwei."

"The monthly salary is thirty taels of silver. The brothers under you will take over from Wei Huaian first. Together with Xu Xiaogang, there will be twelve people in total."

"Your Majesty was attacked a few days ago, and too many people from your general flag died. You have to slowly recruit new people."

Listening to Yang Liunian's words, Jiang Yun nodded with a smile on his face.

"In addition, there is the evil creature you mentioned. I inquired about it through Baiyun Temple. Its name is Gugu."

"The Baiyun Temple claims that this substance is very useful in curing diseases."

"Let our Jinyiwei be responsible for the search and hand them over to Baiyun Temple after they are captured."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun frowned slightly. Baiyun Temple?
At this point, Yang Liunian chuckled and said, "Of course, you don't have to worry about this. I have nothing to do. Why would I send someone to catch an evil creature in their Taoist temple?"

“Don’t give me the money yet.”

For departments like those in the capital, when they ask the Jinyiwei for help on weekdays, it would cost a lot of money, right?
Xu Xiaogang coughed and asked tentatively: "Master Qianhu, I have already broken through to the sixth level of the innate realm of martial arts..."

Yang Liunian ate his meal and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I see. Congratulations."

Xu Xiaogang: “…”

After Yang Liunian hurriedly finished his meal with them, he asked Jiang Yun to get familiar with his brothers first.

Watching the two people walk out of the house, Yang Liunian sighed slowly and thought to himself, Xu Xiaogang comes from a good family and has a strong background, but if he wants to get promoted, why is he reluctant to give some money?

You won't get promoted if you don't send it off.

What do other people who send money think?
Isn't that unfair to other people who sent money?
What I value is fairness and justice.

Xu Xiaogang walked out of the study with a helpless look on his face. He put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law, relying on this kind of bribe to get promoted is indeed a shortcut."

“But it’s not the right way after all.”

"How could I, Xu Xiaogang, not know that as long as I give money, I can rise to the top?"

"But I firmly believe that gold will always shine, and with my personal ability, I will be appreciated and promoted sooner or later."
