Chapter 359 Jinyiwei arrives

Since ancient times, mortals have become cultivators, drawing qi and transforming spiritual roots.

"Practice, immortality, killing his son to replace King Gao Ming, looking for spirits to form an immortal army..."

Ye Cheng murmured so, his head was dizzy from the impact of this huge amount of information.

He staggered a few steps and fell on the door frame.

Although Jiang Lan said it was a rumor, combined with all the existing information, only this rumor can explain many things.

No matter how he tried to disprove it, he couldn't find a breakthrough. Is this far from the truth?

"Then what should we do... After all, we are just mortals. We can't even fight against Jin State, how can we fight against this immortal..."

Xia Ding was no longer calm. He grabbed his head and expressed his fear.

He looked at Ye Cheng for a while, and then looked at Jiang Lan, hoping that these two people could answer his doubts.

They had heard of Ye Cheng's name in Shoutian Village. He was the smartest person in the village, and he had been to the imperial city and had the most experience.

Moreover, as soon as he came back, he led the villagers to escape the war and defeated them.

The other one was a great doctor, even more mysterious, and still calm and composed. I think he was not an ordinary person.

Could he be the legendary immortal? Otherwise, how to explain that he could know these secrets?

"If you are worried that Jin will target you, you don't have to worry."

"Since they used such a shameless method, they naturally have their own concerns."

Jiang Lan spoke slowly, immediately attracting the attention of the two.

"Back to the matter itself, didn't we happen to discover the horse bandits, and then led the villagers to win by trickery?"

"Brother Jiang, what you said..." Xia Ding hadn't reacted yet, and wanted to continue asking.

"It's for us to pretend that we know nothing and stick to this fact!" Ye Cheng on the side had figured out the twists and turns and blurted out.

"Only the three of us know this. As long as we keep our mouths shut and identify them as bandits who burn, kill and rob, then what reason does the State of Jin have to avenge them?"

"I'm afraid they will have to send troops to guard here and protect you, at least on the surface..."

"The big man behind them will probably only regard this as a bad start for them."

"As for continuing to send people pretending to be bandits? I don't think it's likely in a short period of time."

"Haha, we have to figure out that the real purpose of the big man behind them is to reduce the population. Since they have suffered losses in this village, why not change their target?"

"Of course, there will definitely be people from the other side coming here to investigate later. This is the real challenge we have to face!"

After Jiang Lan's explanation, the two of them were instantly cheerful.

Ye Cheng stood up and bowed to Jiang Lan, "Then everything will be arranged by Brother Jiang, and we will obey your orders!"

"Okay, then we will do this... this..."

...

"Report to Commander Wei, yesterday we received news that 11 remote villages have been cleared one after another, and troops will be sent to build them into grain production bases soon!"

"Hmm... Hmm? Didn't the plan say 12 targets? Why are there only 11?"

The man at the desk looked up at the brocade guards who bowed in front of him and asked.

"To the commander, Ma Rong's team failed in their mission, and Shoutian Village is still intact..."

For a moment, the air was suddenly quiet, and the soldiers who bowed did not dare to look up. They felt the chill emanating from the commander in front of them and trembled unconsciously.

"Bang!"

A fist hit the table, and the teacup beside it shook high and fell, making a loud sound.

"Hmph, trash! You only embarrass me!"

"Huh... Why did they fail?"

After venting his anger, Wei Xiuchu calmed down and asked.

"Preliminary investigation shows that a dismissed scholar happened to return home and found Ma Rong and others. He notified the villagers to flee overnight and secretly led people to ambush the other party. Finally..."

"A dismissed scholar?"

"Yes, his name is Ye Cheng."

"Can his identity be confirmed?"

"After investigation, the identity is innocent and there is nothing unusual."

"..."

Wei Xiuchu was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is he the only one?"

"There is also a wandering Taoist priest named Jiang Lan, who is from Rongcheng and likes to travel around the world. He meets all the requirements!"

"Well... I know, let's go through the process."

"Yes!"

...

In June of the 542nd year of the Yongming calendar, gangs emerged everywhere. Within a month, they established their own mountains. They found the right opportunity to attack remote villages and occupy the land as kings.

According to statistics, a total of 11 villages were killed. Upon hearing this, King Gao Ming was furious and appointed the famous general "Dongfang Qing" as the commander to lead the "Menghu Army" to fight against the bandits!

Among them, the inconspicuous Shoutian Village stood out and its deeds spread.

After all, at this time when horse bandits were everywhere, this village relied on its own strength to not only save the lives of all the villagers, but also killed the horse bandits on the spot.

As a key figure, Ye Cheng's name resounded throughout the State of Jin.

His deeds of "going to Shoutian at night to inform everyone, ambushing and killing horse bandits ten miles away" were adapted into various stories and storytelling, and spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The people of Jianghu gave him a nickname, "the scholar who suppresses bandits".

The court even issued an edict to let him go back to take up his post, but he politely refused.

He said, "I miss my hometown so much that I just want to live here."

For a time, his image of being loyal and righteous, and being both civil and military, was deeply rooted in people's hearts...

"At that time, we just tied the ropes and the gang was tripped!"

"Then we rushed forward again and dealt with the gang of horse bandits in a short while!"

At the entrance of Shoutian Village, several knives-wielding guards were questioning an old farmer.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page!

The old farmer was a little scared at first, but when he saw that they were asking about his most glorious event a month ago, he immediately became energetic.

He spoke eloquently, and he had told these deeds countless times, and he knew them by heart.

The official's serious face recorded it, which made him full of vanity!

"Okay, we have understood the matter. If there are any follow-up questions, we will find you to understand."

"Yes, yes, I am always at your service, sir." The old farmer nodded and bowed.

After he left, one of the Jinyiwei team said, "Hasn't this matter been settled long ago? Why do we need to go out and interrogate again?"

The leader put away the small notebook with detailed records and replied

"There has been no news about the group of rebel immortals so far. The superiors suspect that they are hiding their identities in the world and have other intentions..."

"Could they be hiding in this village?"

"I don't know. We just need to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors. We do what the superiors say. Don't think about anything else."

After saying that, he led a group of people to walk through the streets and came to the door of Ye Cheng's house.

After knocking on the door, Ye Cheng, dressed as a scholar, came out with a book in his hand and looked at the visitor strangely.

"What do you want to do?"

"We are ordered to come here to inquire about the matter of the bandits a month ago. I wonder if we can come in and talk in detail?"

"Didn't we investigate it clearly a month ago?"

Ye Cheng looked weird, but still stepped aside to let everyone in.

"There are still some details to be confirmed..."

The moment the door closed, a strange fragrance spread.

After a while, Ye Cheng's eyelids trembled, and he fell asleep on the table while the other party was asking him questions in a bland and rhythmic manner.

"It's troublesome to deal with these mortals, and we have to prepare these special secret medicines."

"Okay, hurry up, don't be discovered."

When several people saw Ye Cheng fall down, one looked at the window, one looked at the door, and one pushed the door open and went out to watch the wind.

The remaining person chanted an inexplicable spell.

Under his operation, Ye Cheng seemed to be controlled, sitting upright with a dull look in his eyes.

Whatever the other party asked, he answered.

After careful questioning, it was almost the same as what the old farmer said.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no gain. The Jinyiwei could only snap his fingers helplessly to wake Ye Cheng up.

"What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong? Are you too sleepy? I saw you almost fell asleep."

"Well, maybe I've read too much recently and slept late. I'm really a little confused when I heard the official's voice. I'm really sorry."

Ye Cheng rubbed his confused eyes and said so.

"It's okay. I've asked all the questions I should ask. I'll take my leave first."

"By the way, don't talk nonsense about what happened today."

"Yes, I understand."

After seeing off this team of Jinyiwei, Ye Cheng closed the door and sat in front of the window sill, continuing to read the book in his hand until night fell. After dinner, he turned off the lights and went to bed.

Everything was as usual.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow flashed on the tree in Ye Cheng's yard...
