Chapter 432 Rebellion (Part 2)
Yinren Township, Presbyterian Church.
As the strongest force in Luoye County at present, Yinren's defensive force is much stronger than before. The strong men who were previously responsible for guarding this place have been basically removed, and they have all been replaced by iron guards wearing large cloaks.
In some key positions, you can occasionally see some people wearing exquisite leather armor and white jumpsuit hoods, who are members of the mountain patrol team. The peak combat power of these Yinren Town, even among ordinary third-rate sects, must be elder-level experts. This is unimaginably powerful for the other five forces in Luoye County! It seems that Zhao Yuntian's death has triggered the defense mechanism of Yinren's senior management.
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 Soaring Snake and Eagle were newly promoted members last year. At this time, except for a few special team members, they were performing tasks outside. The remaining members have all returned to Yinren Town and are on standby. Bai Mei and Teng She, with a few elite guards in Tie Yi, are temporarily stationed in Tiexin Village. As the core of power, the Presbyterian Council has gathered most of Yinren's peak fighters. force.
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.
"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 Yao Yao 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 and 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. , requiring him 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 in the back. 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 originated from bone 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 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 had 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 fire was almost over, Li Chengtao couldn't really wait for this group of people to gather around the presbytery 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, the commander of the mountain patrol team gave the order!
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. There were two people standing next to him at this time, one was the middle-aged inspection shopkeeper who had just incited everyone, and the other was a fanatical young member 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 on the ground and knocked his head there, as if he had turned into a stone statue. But the young man had no such idea. His throat couldn't help but move. He suppressed 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 blood 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 You can’t even tell the difference. You’ve 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 disciples of the Zhong family who were three feet away. These people were stunned for a moment, and then all collapsed on 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 followed suit and said: "As you command!"
…
Zhong Qian was sitting in the main hall, looking at the water clock in the courtyard, and counting the time silently. The inciting activity organized in that abandoned courtyard tonight was the first step in his plan, and the next step was to lead this group of people away from 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 Yunzong who calls himself Zhou Yuanyi is definitely not an easy character to get along with.
He is not sure whether the other party's identity is true or false, and he doesn't even know the other party's true purpose. But this is not important. Compared with his great success, the Zhong family is Yinren Town, and the safety of Luoye County in the latter is no longer within the scope of his 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 "old and immortal", this is because Zhong Qian knows that if he doesn't even dare to scold the other party, he may never run away. I can't believe this old fox's plan.
However, 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 awakened him, yes, as long as he became the head of the family, he could make anyone in the Zhong family his granddaughter-in-law. Even if you let that little hoof warm your bed, the other party will only obey!
Thinking of this, a greedy smile appeared on the face of the thin old man. This made his originally decayed and old face become ferocious and terrifying. And this greedy smile reveals a sense of lust and greed. It 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 in hand.
"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.
"Did you do it?!" This time, Elder Zhou simply said these three words.
"I did it..." Zhong Qian replied decisively, his back already soaked with sweat.
"Tsk, what a pity!" Zhou Yuanyi sighed.
In Zhong Qian's view, time seemed to slow down at this moment, and his face turned pale for an instant, and he even vaguely felt that the God of Death was approaching him. The thin old man's legs became unsteady.
After only coming for a while, he saw that the other party still made no movement, so he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and raised his eyes to look at the other party. But just this glance made him feel heartbroken. He saw that there was no one else in the hall at this time.
Just leave like that? Was it just an illusion? Zhong Qian, who had the feeling of surviving a disaster, couldn't help but think so. He really couldn't figure out why the other party would spare his life.
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 remnant of life, another voice once again made his heart that had just been relieved feel suspended 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 is none other than Li Chengtao, who had just captured the group of people. Through his observations over the past few days, he already knew that Zhong Qianhe was seriously ill and bedridden. In the past few days, all matters in the Zhong Mansion, big and small, have been handled by this old housekeeper. Tonight, he It was basically impossible to hide this inciting action from the chief 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, are you still up so late?" Li Chengtao continued to ask.
"My master is ill in bed, and I have been taking care of him these days. Some things have not been clarified, so I have been 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 who has matured into a spirit. Naturally, he will not be as stupid as the young man before! If you were to contradict the captain of the mountain patrol team in normal times, you would be contradicting him. It was already late at night when the other party suddenly appeared, apparently performing a mission.
You know, the patrol team among the executors can execute anyone who hinders the completion of the mission at any time. This applies to any enemy, stranger, or 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? This is 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 are 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 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?"
