As the strongest force in Luoye County, Yinren's defensive force is much stronger than before. The strong men who were responsible for guarding here have been basically withdrawn, and they have all been replaced by iron guards wearing large cloaks.
And in some key positions, you can occasionally see some people wearing exquisite leather armor and white jumpsuit hoods, they are the members of the mountain patrol team. The peak combat power of these Yinren Town, even among ordinary third-rate sects, must be
An elder-level powerhouse is unimaginably powerful to the other five forces in Luoye County! It seems that Zhao Yuntian's death has triggered the defense mechanism of Yinren's senior officials.
You must know that there are already an astonishing twenty mountain patrol members in Yinren Town who have reached the level of knights, among which Teng She and Ying were the new members last year. At this time, except for a few special team members, they are performing tasks outside. The rest
The members have all returned to Yinren Town and are on standby. Baimei and Tengshe, with a few elite guards in Tieyi, are temporarily stationed in Tiexin Village. As the core of power, the Presbyterian Council has gathered most of Yinren's peak combat power.
.
Located in the middle hall of the Presbyterian Church, Lin Hengshan and Zhong Zhao Yunming were talking in a low voice.
"How is the situation outside?" the old man sitting at the top asked loudly.
"I asked Cheng Tao to keep an eye on him, but he still didn't show up." The tall, thin, middle-aged man said with a frown.
Lin Hengshan glanced at the other party and said calmly: "It's possible that he has already appeared, but we didn't notice it."
Zhao Yunming's originally cupped hands froze slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Will the Luo Yun Sect send such a powerful person to deal with us?"
When the old man heard this question, he laughed. While laughing, he shook his head and murmured: "It's good to be stronger, the stronger the better! Haha..."
Seeing his master smiling so happily, Zhao Yunming, who was standing below, was slightly startled.
"Yun Ming, we are all old..."
"General!..."
Lin Hengshan waved his hand and said calmly: "Go do your thing and leave me alone!"
Zhao Yunming looked at the other party's old back and felt a little sad in his heart. He knew that his elder brother's death also deeply affected Lin Hengshan, but he had to hide it deeper than himself because Yinren Town needed his coldness and strength.
, he needs to handle the current situation completely rationally.
As the only remaining incense in the Yunxiao Empire, Yinren can even be said to be the last force that dares to resist the Luo Yunzong. This persistence and perseverance require Lin Hengshan to persevere to the end.
Zhao Yunming vaguely saw a familiar figure from behind. He had seen this figure when he was a teenager, but Zhao Yunming still cannot forget it until now.
That’s the old general’s back, that’s the commander-in-chief of the Yunxiao Imperial Army! The once famous military god all over the world—Lin Fuzheng!
At this moment, Lin Hengshan's back coincided with that of his father Lin Fuzheng again. Even though the old man was only wearing a pair of coarse linen clothes at this time, the aura that came from his bones and blood could not be concealed by any clothing.
…
At the same time, Li Chengtao was watching a group of Zhong family members arguing passionately in the already abandoned courtyard of the Zhong Mansion.
He had already seen that the people who took the lead in speaking just now, including the slightly fat middle-aged inspection shopkeeper, were probably the ones who had been arranged in advance to incite public anger.
Among the people present, the first ones were the group of storekeepers stationed abroad, and those who gathered around after dark were some young people from the Zhong Mansion.
At this time, the emotions of everyone present have been aroused. Fortunately, the shopkeepers in the store saw so many people surrounding them. Some people with bright minds naturally discovered that something was abnormal and quietly left or retreated to the periphery.
But those young people who were only in their twenties were very excited. After hearing the previous speeches, they felt that they had found the organization. They ignored the dissuasion of the older people around them and leaned in one after another.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Chengtao couldn't really wait for this group of people to gather around the Presbyterian Church before going to clean up the mess. Not only would it cause unnecessary casualties, it would even leave an opportunity for the master of Luo Yun Sect to take advantage of.
!
"Okay, let's do it!" Still looking like a young man, still habitually not wearing a jumpsuit and hood, he followed the command of the captain of the mountain patrol team!
Four mountain rangers, with eight armored guards and forty strong men working, surrounded the courtyard.
"Ah! Who is it?"
"There are enemies! Enemies attack!"
"Who is so arrogant!?"
"Whoever comes here really eats the heart of a bear and a leopard..."
The scene exploded into a pot of porridge. When these large families who have lived under the protection of Yinren all year round faced an enemy sneak attack, their first reaction was not to evade, but to curse angrily!
Fortunately, it was Yinren's armed forces who took action. If it were any other force, compared to these people who were the most arrogant and clamoring, they would have fallen to the ground dead at this time.
Li Chengtao's figure arrived in the middle of the group of people in the next moment, exactly where they were speaking. And there were two people standing next to him, one was the middle-aged inspection shopkeeper who had just incited the crowd, and the other was a fanatical
Young children of the Zhong family.
"Li, Li Chengtao?!" The young man recognized him the moment he saw him.
The middle-aged shopkeeper was very sensible. The moment he saw the young man, he knelt down and knelt there, as if he had turned into a stone statue. But the young man had no such idea, and his throat couldn't help but move.
He moved, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said in a trembling voice:
"Li, Li Chengqian! You, you broke into the Zhong family's mansion late at night! No, even if you are a member of the mountain patrol team, you can't do this..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his voice had stopped suddenly, and a thin line of blood appeared on the young man's neck.
puff!
A bloody arrow shot out from his carotid artery, and then the young man fell to the ground.
This is the not tall figure of Eagle Eye, who also appeared on this platform. He glanced at everyone, without even looking at the young man lying in a pool of blood, and murmured: "Even the most basic right and wrong of good and evil
I can’t tell the difference. You have lived in vain in this life, but it doesn’t matter. I can send you back to live again! In the next life, be a good person!”
After saying this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the group of young people of the Zhong family who were about three feet away. These people were stunned for a moment, and then they all collapsed to the ground, obviously shocked by the tyrannical and cruel methods of the eagle-eyed man.
"Captain, we have everything under control, no one has escaped." After about a while, a mountain ranger wearing a white jumpsuit and a hood came over and whispered.
Li Chengtao nodded slightly and said calmly: "Tie them here now. When daybreak, someone will come and take them away."
Then he said to the eagle-eyed man behind him: "Eagle, you watch them here, remember, no living people are allowed to escape or make noise!"
Li Chengtao could not lower his voice, but everyone present heard his order. Ying also raised his hands and said: "Yes!"
…
Zhong Qian was sitting in the main hall at this time, looking at the water clock in the courtyard, and counting the time silently. The incitement organized in the abandoned courtyard tonight was the first step of his plan, and the next step was to take this
The group of people left Yinren.
He has already chosen his destination. It is not Luoye City, let alone other forces in Luoye County, but heading to the Western Region and leaving Luo Yun Country. However, the man from Luo Yun Sect who calls himself Zhou Yuanyi is definitely not an easy character to get along with.
He wasn't sure whether the other party's identity was true or false, and he didn't even know the other party's true purpose. But that didn't matter. Compared with his great success, the Zhong family was in Yinren Town, and the safety of Luoye County in the latter was no longer in his hands.
within the scope of consideration.
In Zhong Qian's own opinion, it was only a matter of time before he rebelled against the Zhong family, and the appearance of Elder Zhou of Luo Yunzong was obviously his best opportunity.
As for Zhong Qianhe, this old man who had been serving him for almost a lifetime was considered lucky. He suddenly fell ill at this time, which saved him a lot of trouble.
In fact, he still has a heartfelt awe and fear for the old master of the family. Although he often scolds him in private as "an old man," this is because Zhong Qian knows very well that if he doesn't even dare to scold him, he may never run away.
I can't believe this old fox's plan.
However, just when he was secretly thinking about whether he should go to Qingchuan County on the way to the countries in the Western Regions and take the eldest lady of the Zhong family away with him. Zhou Yuanyi's words woke him up, yes,
As long as you become the head of the family, you can let anyone in the Zhong family be your granddaughter-in-law. Even if you let that little hoof warm your bed, the other party will only be obedient!
Thinking of this, a greedy smile appeared on the face of the thin old man. This made his original intention decay and his old face became ferocious and terrifying. And this greedy smile revealed a hint of lust and greed.
That is the most primitive evil thought of an old and ugly soul towards the beautiful young body!
"Butler Zhong!" A cold voice interrupted his fantasy.
A young man with white hair suddenly appeared in this hall. His cold eyes, like his words, showed no trace of emotion.
"Zhou, Elder Zhou..." Zhong Qian's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stood up and said with his hands raised.
"Did you do what I asked you to do?" Zhou Yuanyi asked still coldly
"Elder Zhou, I..." Apparently Zhong Qian also sensed something was wrong and was about to explain, but was interrupted again.
"Have you done it?!" This time, Elder Zhou just said these three words concisely.
"I did it..." Zhong Qian replied decisively, his back already soaked with sweat.
"Tsk, what a pity!" Zhou Yuanyi sighed.
From Zhong Qian's point of view, time seemed to slow down at this moment, and his face instantly turned pale. He even vaguely felt that the God of Death was approaching him. The thin old man's legs became unsteady.
After coming here for a while, he saw that the other party was still silent, so he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and raised his eyes to glance at the other party. But just this glance made him feel stunned. He saw that there was no one else in the hall at this time.
Just left like that? Was it just an illusion? Zhong Qian, who had the feeling of surviving the disaster, couldn't help but think so. He really couldn't figure out why the other party would leave his life behind.
He breathed a deep sigh of relief, and it was this breath that made him feel that he would still be alive!
But before he could enjoy this short respite from the disaster, another voice once again made his heart that had just been relieved rise again.
"Butler Zhong, it's so late, why are you still not sleeping?"
Zhong Qian's face, which had regained a trace of color, became extremely pale again. He raised his head and looked at the young man standing at the door, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Zhong Qian, I have met the captain!"
This person was Li Chengtao, who had just captured the group of people. Through his observation over the past few days, he had already known that Zhong Qianhe was seriously ill and bedridden. In the past few days, all matters in the Zhong Mansion, big and small, had been handled by this old housekeeper. Tonight, he
It is basically impossible to hide this inciting action from the great steward of the Zhong Mansion.
It can be inferred from this that this matter must be related to him, and the relationship is probably not small.
"You're welcome, Butler Zhong, why don't you go to bed so late?" Li Chengtao continued to ask.
"My master is ill in bed and has been taken care of by his slaves these days. Some things have not been clarified yet, so he stayed up late at night. May I ask the head coach, what are your instructions for coming to my Zhong Mansion late at night?"
Zhong Qian is an old man. Naturally, he will not be as stupid as the young man before! If he contradicted the captain of the mountain patrol team in normal times, he would have contradicted him. It was already late at night, and the other party suddenly
Appeared, obviously on a mission.
You should know that the patrol team among the executors can execute anyone who hinders the completion of the task at any time. This applies to any enemy, strangers, and even teammates.
Li Chengtao nodded and said calmly: "Later today, in an abandoned courtyard of Zhong Mansion, someone rebelled!"
When Zhong Qian heard this, his heart suddenly sank. He knew that although those people were his cronies, he was not sure whether they would betray him.
"Oh? Is this happening?! The captain is not kidding an old man like me, is he?" He laughed twice. Seeing that the other party did not laugh, he restrained his emotions and expressions and said seriously: "I,
I really didn’t know about this!”
Li Chengtao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Rebellion is not a good choice for either the Zhong family or Housekeeper Zhong. After all, the cost of rebellion is too high."
Hearing this, Zhong Qian nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
"It's just that for the mastermind behind this matter, Luo Yunzong, it is indeed very suitable!" Li Chengtao said word by word.
Zhong Qian's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect that the other party would make such a guess!
"Captain! What you're talking about is...um..."
But before the thin old man could finish his speech, a drop of water suddenly burst into a fistful of blood mist between his eyebrows! The next moment, his world fell into darkness!
"What!" When Li Chengtao saw this scene, his heart trembled, and the Zimu Yin Yang Sword was directly grasped in his hand.
"Who is it!" The young captain, wearing the standard leather armor of the mountain range patrol, roared sternly.
At this time, a cold laughter sounded in the courtyard of the Zhong family.
"Haha, interesting, so interesting. Captain Li, it's our first time meeting you. Do you like this meeting gift?"
