"Thank you, Steward. Please stabilize the situation here first. I have some things to do and I won't be back until later." Yang Ze left after giving instructions.
In such a hurry to leave, of course Yang Ze had to go to the Yamen to find Yuan Heng. With only nine days left, he finally completed Yuan Heng's mission, and now he had to go to Yuan Heng to get the reward he deserved.
If it wasn't for a quota in the assessment, why would he have spent so much effort and risked killing Feng Lixuan and Fan Yongnian.
When he arrived at the Yamen, today's Yuan Heng was already standing there. When he saw Yang Ze coming, he actually took the initiative to greet him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Yang is indeed extraordinary. Yuan has been waiting here not long ago, and you are already here." Yuan Heng said with a smile.
Yang Ze returned the gift and said, "How did Lord Yuan know that Yang was coming? If Yang didn't come, wouldn't it mean that Lord Yuan had to wait in vain?"
"When Mr. Yang led his men to sweep through Wenjia Street today, I knew that the situation in Sitongfang would definitely change from now on. Sure enough, I heard the news that Mr. Yang led his men to Chenglan Street. I knew that Mr. Yang had led his men to Chenglan Street.
Young Master is about to succeed, so I must not wait here for Young Master Yang to come over, otherwise I would be too insincere."
Having met Yuan Heng so many times, this was the first time Yang Ze saw such a thick smile on Yuan Heng's face. The more this happened, the more Yang Ze knew how bad Yuan Heng's life had been in the past.
This time I have weakened the strength of the Feng family and the Fan family, which is equivalent to helping the government in disguise, and if Sitongfang can finally fall into the hands of the government, the government's strength will be greatly enhanced.
After making such a great contribution to the government, how could Yuan Heng not be happy?
But having said that, Yang Ze also understood that what he did this time actually harmed the interests of the Jianghu side. If other people in the Jianghu knew about it, he would definitely be infamous, and he might even be killed.
What a disaster, after all, this time he could even be considered to have colluded with the government.
But Yang Ze didn't regret it. He had to do this. He was obviously better than Yang Hai, so he was dissatisfied as to why he couldn't get a spot.
If he leaves Yuyang City and goes out on his own, it will be too difficult to make a career in this place. Only by successfully entering the Martial Academy is the fastest way available.
He has only been in this world for a short time and has no sense of belonging to anything here. Why should he bear the injustice and not take the path that he can obviously take?
"Master Yuan's information is quite good. Yang was indeed anxious. After doing all this, he came to see Master Yuan." Yang Ze said.
"Young people, it's normal to be anxious. Come on, let's go in and talk slowly."
Yuan Heng led Yang Ze in, and kept praising Yang Ze along the way, almost blowing Yang Ze to the sky.
Still waiting until he sat down, Yang Ze saw that there was no one around, and then he stopped Yuan Heng from bragging about himself, and said bluntly: "Master Yuan, please stop flattering me, you should know the most important purpose of my coming here.
"
Yuan Heng was startled for a moment and said: "I understand, I understand. As the head catcher of Yuyang City, Yuan will naturally not break his promise. This is what you want. I have prepared it for a long time, and finally I can give it to you. Then
!”
After saying that, Yuan Heng took out a palm, and the power of his palm burst out, and a black thing in his palm hit Yang Ze directly.
Yang Ze's eyes flashed, and he raised his right hand instantly, grabbing the black thing. The moment he touched it, there was a soft sound, which was the sound of impact.
A force came from the palm of his hand. Yang Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he exhaled Qi lightly to dissipate the force. He took his hand back, opened his palm, and saw a black token lying in his palm.
This token is only half the size of a palm, with the word Yuyang written on the front, and the back is completely blank, with only a circle carved on it.
"This is?" Yang Ze stroked the token with a cold expression, nothing surprising.
"The token is a token of participation in the assessment. There are only 100 places this time. The assessment venue will be set up in the Yamen. If you want to distinguish whether there are places, you have to rely on the token to distinguish.
Those who have tokens can participate in the assessment. Those who do not have tokens cannot participate in the assessment. The tokens being distributed now are only for various forces in the world. In addition, you will be the first to get it.
." Yuan Heng said enthusiastically.
"I see." After listening to Yuan Heng's explanation, Yang Ze realized how precious this token was and held it firmly in his palm.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuan. I wonder if Mr. Yuan knows the specific content of the assessment?" Yang Ze asked.
"The content of the assessment is not something I can know. The people from Wuyang Martial Arts Academy personally arranged the assessment. When the time comes, everyone will naturally know about it.
Mr. Yang, there is no need to be impatient, no matter what the content of the assessment is, I believe you will definitely be able to pass it." Yuan Heng said confidently.
"Master Yuan has so much confidence in me. I know Master Yuan cares about the Sitongfang in my hands, but my abilities may not be as strong as Master Yuan thinks." Yang Ze said.
"Young Master Yang, although I don't know the specific content of the assessment, I do know the first requirement of the assessment. Wuyang Martial Arts Academy has limited the maximum age that can participate in the assessment to twenty years old. As far as I know, Yuyang
There is no one under the age of twenty in the city who can compare with you, not even half as good as you.
If even you can't pass the Wuyang Martial Arts Academy's assessment, then I'm afraid no one in the entire Yuyang City can pass the assessment."
When Yuan Heng said these words, Yang Ze immediately knew that he had been tricked by Yuan Heng. Indeed, there was definitely no one among the younger generation in Yuyang City who could compare with him. He was not the most popular candidate to pass the assessment.
.
"I didn't expect Master Yuan's calculations to be so deep. But I thought too little and didn't expect this." Yang Ze shook his head, not angry, but still had a smile on his face.
"Master Yang, aren't you angry because I plotted against you?"
"What's there to be angry about? You and I each take what we need. I need this quota, you need Sitongfang, that's all." Yang Ze explained.
"Okay, Young Master Yang is indeed very generous, but I still have a question in my mind: were both Feng Lixuan and Fan Yongnian killed by Young Master Yang himself?" Yuan Heng's voice suddenly became softer and he asked this sentence.
When Yang Ze heard this, he laughed out loud and replied: "Master Yuan, I don't know where you heard the news. How could Mr. Yang have this ability? I just luckily broke through to the high level of Qi Entrainment. When I met
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long after reaching the peak of Qi-entraining. How can I possibly kill these two Qi-entraining peak warriors?"
"Then why did Young Master Yang spread the news about Feng Lixuan's death?" Yuan Heng asked.
"Is it just because of this incident? It's because I got the news that these two peak Qi-entraining warriors were missing, so I took advantage of this limelight to spread the news and push others to cause trouble. Otherwise, there would be no chance of taking Sitongfang.
What?" Yang Ze said calmly.
"That's right." Yuan Heng said meaningfully.
"Otherwise, what else could it be? Master Yuan really thinks too highly of me. I am just a high-level Qi-inducing warrior, and there is nothing surprising about me." Yang Ze laughed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Mr. Yang, I will take you to meet someone. I don't know if you are interested. I introduced him for a long time before he wanted to meet you." Yuan Heng suddenly became confused.
said.
Yang Ze's heart moved. This was the first time he saw such an expression on Yuan Heng's face. With Yuan Heng's strength and identity, there should be no one in the entire Yuyang City who deserves to be treated with such solemnity.
"Then please ask Mr. Yuan to lead the way." Yang Ze did not refuse. At this point, it would be meaningless to refuse.
Yuan Heng stood up and took Yang Ze out. Yang Ze followed Yuan Heng and walked deeper into the yamen. There were twists and turns along the way, and they walked a long distance. The further they walked, the more they walked.
, Yang Ze became more and more surprised.
Seeing this, Yang Ze realized that the person he was going to meet this time should be much higher in status and strength than Yuan Heng. When he thought about it, he immediately thought of a person.
Finally, when he reached the end of a path, Yuan Heng stopped, opened a small door in front of him, and stepped in.
Yang Ze followed and passed through the small door. Yang Ze saw a small building in front of him. The beauty of the landscape was far better than that of the Yang family manor.
There was a corridor in front of him, and at the end of the corridor there was a person sitting cross-legged, wearing a black gown, looking directly at Yang Ze and Yuan Heng.
Even though there was such a distance, when Yang Ze saw this look, the pressure in his heart increased a lot, and his whole person felt a sense of crisis.
Yang Ze looked at Yuan Heng beside him again, and saw that Yuan Heng's expression was much more serious. Although the two of them were obviously about the same age, Yuan Heng's face showed a different solemnity.
"Is this..." Yang Ze was stopped by Yuan Heng's eyes midway through his words, and then he walked forward, and Yang Ze followed suit.
When they reached the end of the corridor, before Yuan Heng and Yang Ze could speak, the man's eyes fell on Yang Ze. The hair on Yang Ze's body stood up, and he felt a strong sense of crisis coming over him.
Fortunately, the man's eyes quickly moved away and looked at Yuan Heng. Yang Ze heard a hoarse voice coming from the man's mouth.
"Is this person Yang Yuanzhen's second son?"
Yuan Heng nodded.
Then the man's eyes fell on Yang Ze again, his eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "No, you are nothing like Yang Yuanzhen."
