Chapter 356: Village in Danger

"Brother Jiang, we have about one day's journey to our village, right at the foot of that big mountain..."

"Are you sure you want to go back with me?"

Ye Cheng led Jiang Lan over a small slope again, pointing to the mountain not far ahead and saying this.

"I was just hanging out at Yun Yehe, and I fell in love with Brother Ye, so I went to have a look together, stay there for a while, take a rest, and then make other plans."

"Haha, thanks to Brother Jiang's love, although I am not talented and I haven't been home for a long time, I still know where my hometown is fun, beautiful and delicious."

"We will definitely entertain Brother Jiang well then!"

"So good..."

The two walked for a while, found a small stream, made a fire and set up camp, preparing to spend the last night here...

In the dead of night, everything should be completely silent...

Jiang Lan's ears twitched, but there was no other movement, but his true thoughts were already spread out and could be clearly seen within a hundred miles.

Ye Cheng, who was beside him, was still unaware. He was leaning on a dead wood pile with his long sword in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Lan was considering whether to tell him about this.

It turned out that in his perception, there was a group of heavily armed men quietly rushing to the small village that Ye Cheng pointed to.

It seems that he is aggressive, which should not be a good thing.

The costumes of the gang looked like horse bandits who were burning, killing and looting, but the marching process was too strict and the discipline was very good. It was not like what horse bandits should look like at all. It was really weird.

This made Jiang Lan have to think of some extremely bad things.

For example, these horse bandits are the white gloves of King Gao Ming or some people, used to deal with things that are not easy to expose openly.

A few days ago, Ye Cheng was still talking about King Gao Ming's unreasonable policy of having more children, and combined with these...

Could it be that King Gaoming planned to use this method to control the population?

If this is the case, then this King Gao Ming is really a beast!

But that group of people is still far away from here. What explanation should be given to Ye Cheng at this time?

What's more, if it is as he guessed, as long as he leaves it alone...

Tomorrow, Ye Cheng and he will rush to the village and witness the tragedy.

With Ye Cheng's personality, he will definitely track down the murderer at all costs and avenge his fellow villagers!

As long as Jiang Lan gives a little guidance and the conspiracy of King Gaoming is exposed, his prestige will be exposed and his image will collapse.

When the golden body he built is shattered and such scandals are revealed, his people will definitely rise up and fight together.

As for how mortals can overthrow the imperial power of immortal cultivators?

Not to mention that King Gao Ming tied up the country's destiny, as long as the national movement was in turmoil, it could backfire and seriously injure him.

Just talking about those mortals, how dare he, a cultivator of immortality, use his cultivation?

Even if he ignored his karma, Jiang Lan and the others would still be there.

Without the protective umbrella of Jin State, Jiang Lan had many ways to deal with him once the foundation was fully established.

Even if he can cultivate an army of monks, Jiang Lan still has many disciples from the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect...

Yes, all this is done as long as he does his duty, does nothing, does not interfere, and only needs a small push to accomplish everything.

Even if the situation is not what Jiang Lan thought, as long as he is ruthless and guides in this direction...

After all, if you start a rumor with your mouth, you will lose your legs if you refute it.

In this way, even if King Gao Ming cannot be brought down, the Jin country can still be plunged into turmoil, which will benefit him a lot.

Taking the world as a chess piece, even if this move is not a sure win, it is still a good move.

but……

"After all, I cannot treat the people of the world and the lights of thousands of households as chess pieces, just to win over a few clever kings..."

"That's all, that's all, it's okay if the chess player doesn't do it."

"I am carefree and follow my heart. Only in this way can I become a cultivator of immortality!"

As thoughts surged, time passed in just a blink of an eye.

After making the decision, Jiang Lan stood up and came to Ye Cheng to wake him up.

"Brother Ye, there is a group of people heading towards the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid something might happen to your father and fellow villagers, so we'd better go there overnight to have a look."

Ye Cheng actually didn't sleep to death. He woke up as soon as he was shaken. After hearing what Jiang Lan said, he looked confused.

"Brother Jiang, are you having a nightmare? I didn't hear anything..."

"Brother Ye, please trust me once. Jiang will not joke about this kind of thing."

Seeing Jiang Lan's serious face, he recalled the past days together, and he would rather believe it or not.

Ye Cheng quickly got up to clean up, and led Jiang Lan towards the village at the foot of the mountain...

…

Ma Rong led his team to march at night. He was silent and seemed to be worried.

Seeing their boss like this, his men did not dare to say anything. The whole army was silent, but the marching speed was still not slow. It was estimated that they would reach their destination in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this time, a very young guy in the team couldn't help it. He silently rushed to Ma Rong and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, we..."

"Um?!"

"No, boss...boss, do we really want to do this?"

"Those are civilians, they have no grudges against us..."

"Civilians? Humph, remember, they are walking money bags, don't treat them as human beings!"

"this……"

The young man was a little speechless for a moment.

Ma Rong slightly squinted his one eye and looked at the young man who was half a body behind, "What did you do?"

"Huh? Oh... disobey military orders..."

"Huh, I guess it's more than that. Just because you disobey military orders, will you be allowed to come in?"

"Confronting Camp Commander Wei..."

"I see, it offends the gilded big shot, no wonder."

"As a person who has been through this, I will teach you one thing. When you come here, treat yourself as a knife without emotion!"

"As long as you still want to live and want your family to live well..."

After saying this, Ma Rong whipped his horse whip and accelerated again!

Dozens of people in the back were silent, with only the sound of whipping horses.

Dozens of people passed by the young man who had not yet reacted, with indifferent expressions, and did not care about him at all.

The young man was still immersed in Ma Rong's words until he fell behind, then he reacted and hurriedly waved his whip to catch up with the main force.

After a while, everyone came to a small slope, and below was a small road leading directly to the village.

"Light the fire, follow me! Kill!"

"Kill! Take away all their silver, kill all their men, and take away the beautiful women!"

"Oh!!! Go!"

"Haha, I'm rich, let's take away women!"

They changed their previous silence and seriousness, shouting all kinds of dirty words, holding torches and rushing towards the village.

This small village only has some simple wooden walls and gates, which were easily broken by them.

A group of people kept repeating the words just now, throwing torches in their hands at the houses without paying.

They came and went like the wind, and after a few rounds, they set the houses on fire, and large areas of flames were ignited.

On the houses and in the fields, there were flames everywhere.

But...

"Boss, why is there no one here!"

"A village, not even a single person?!"

"Fuck, this is not a ghost village, is it?"

"I just broke in and touched the bed, it was warm! But the people are gone!"

The 'horse bandits' gathered together, talking about the situation, and some of them were trembling.

Ma Rong looked around, and there were many signs that there should be people living in this village before they arrived.

Besides, the order was given by those guys, and with their skills, the intelligence should be correct.

What is this?

"The situation is not right, retreat first!"

There is no good way now, so we can only go home first.

A group of people left the burning village and galloped back.

Just less than ten miles out of the village, people and horses suddenly fell to the ground one after another.

"No! There's an ambush!"

Ma Rong was alerted instantly, fell off his horse and rolled on the ground for several rounds, took out a machete, and looked around with a vigilant face.

"Kill! Revenge for the village"

"Let these beasts never come back!"

"Damn it, you dare to burn my house, I'll kill you!"

In the dark night, a group of people rushed out from both sides of the road, holding rakes, spatulas, and kitchen knives and rushed towards the team below that was in chaos.

The war was about to break out...
