Catching Monsters

Chapter 219 Leng Liuer

The gathering of disaster victims has never been a good thing for the imperial court since ancient times.

Because the victims are starving, they are easily instigated.

As long as they are given something to eat, they will work hard for it.

Feng Yu's eyes darkened, he looked at Wu Farong deeply, then quickly turned around and left, rushing back to the palace to report the matter to His Majesty.

"Detain him first and see how the higher-ups deal with him." Jiang Yun said to Qi Da, "Keep him under strict supervision."

"Yes."

After walking out of the imperial prison, Jiang Yun returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He went back to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate.

As he was meditating, it soon became the next morning. There was a knock on the door. Jiang Yun opened his eyes and went to the door.

Xu Xiaogang was holding breakfast: "Brother-in-law, my sister made this breakfast herself, come on..."

"Miss Xu cooks personally? That's rare." Jiang Yun moved aside to let Xu Xiaogang enter the house.

As soon as the two sat down, Xu Xiaogang looked at Jiang Yun curiously and asked, "Brother-in-law, what did you do yesterday?"

"Me?" Jiang Yun touched his head.

Xu Xiaogang said with a smile on his face: "Before dawn today, someone came to the palace and said that His Majesty intends to grant you and my sister a marriage."

Jiang Yun picked up a pancake, took a bite, and said curiously: "Yes, it happened, but His Majesty asked me to do a task first. If I complete it, he will grant me the marriage..."

"That hasn't been done yet."

Jiang Yun then simply told Xu Xiaogang what happened yesterday. After listening to it, Xu Xiaogang was not surprised at all and explained, "Our Zhenguogong Mansion is not a small gate or courtyard, but a grand Duke's Mansion."

"For such a big matter as granting marriage, His Majesty will naturally send someone to ask our family's opinion in advance."

"If we agree, His Majesty will continue to grant the marriage, otherwise, he will not grant it."

No wonder Xu Suwen made breakfast for herself today, which was rare...

He asked quietly, "What did Aunt Tao say? Did she agree?"

bang bang...

Before he finished speaking, two firecrackers were heard from the backyard.

"Did you hear that? My mother arranged for Uncle Wu to set off firecrackers to celebrate... How can I not agree?" Xu Xiaogang rolled his eyes at Jiang Yun.

"Of course, this is premised on completing the task assigned by His Majesty." Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

Xu Xiaogang asked curiously: "What task did His Majesty give you?"

"Catch Master Wu Yue."

"Master Wu Yue?" Xu Xiaogang frowned when he heard the name.

At this moment, the door was opened and a servant from the mansion appeared. He looked inside and said with a smile, "Young Master, Captain Jiang, someone is coming from the East Pacification Office. We want you two to go over there as soon as possible."

"Got it."

Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang hurriedly finished their breakfast and rushed to the East Zhenfu Division.

Arriving at Yang Liunian's study, Jiang Yun knocked on the door, then he and Xu Xiaogang pushed it open and walked in.

As expected, Feng Yuzheng was sitting inside with a calm expression, while Yang Liunian was accompanying him with a smile on his face.

"I'm here." Feng Yu nodded slightly to Jiang Yun, then took out a yellow imperial edict and said to Jiang Yun: "Jiang Yun of the East Pacification Office, please accept the edict."

When the imperial edict was shown, Jiang Yun, Xu Xiaogang, and Yang Liunian all knelt down quickly.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that there are traitors plotting rebellion in the Baekje Villa. I am sending Jiang Yun to lead his Jinyiwei to capture the leader of the traitors, Master Wu Yue. You are ordered to set off immediately without delay."

"I accept your order!" Jiang Yun raised his hand to accept the imperial edict, then looked up at Feng Yu and asked, "Eunuch, will I and my men go?"

Jiang Yun knew himself very well. He was now at the peak of the fifth-grade Guarding One Realm of the Taoist sect, and was indeed considered a master.

With the Three Pure Ones' Taoist magic at his disposal, if he encounters a fourth-rank master, he might be able to escape.

But if you want to win, it is not easy.

This time, the mission is to deal with the rebels who are plotting a rebellion...

Nowadays, who would dare to rebel without any ability?

Seeing the worry in Jiang Yun's eyes, Feng Yu laughed and said, "I guessed you would say that. Don't worry, I have borrowed Leng Liu'er from the Northern Pacification Division. He will be your subordinate and go to Xishu Province together."

Cold flow?
Jiang Yun subconsciously looked at Xu Xiaogang beside him. He had never heard of this name before.

There are innumerable masters in the capital, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is also another department of the Northern Pacification Office, so it is not surprising that Jiang Yun does not know about them.

Seeing Jiang Yun's inquiring eyes, Xu Xiaogang swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Leng Liu'er is one of the best experts in our Jinyiwei. He is not very old, only about 25 years old."

"But it is said that this person has been good at using swords since he was young, and reached the fifth level of martial arts sword control at the age of seventeen."

"At the age of twenty-one, he reached the fourth level of martial arts integration."

"A genius."

"And just like the protagonist in the play, his parents died when he was young, his family was broken up, and he ended up living on the streets like a beggar."

"In the end, he learned some sword skills, followed a troupe, and performed on the streets. Then, he was noticed by the people of the Northern Pacification Office and was allowed to join..."

Xu Xiaogang knew Leng Liuer's story by heart. Leng Liuer was almost a typical child from other people's families.

Civil officials are fine, but military families in the capital often teach their children, saying: "You have been living a life of luxury since childhood, with no worries about food and drink, plenty of skills, and famous teachers, but your cultivation speed is so slow."

"Look at Leng Liu'er from the Northern Pacification Division. He has no father or mother, but he has already reached the fourth rank integration realm."

Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown when he heard this. So perverted?
This template, with both his father and mother dead, could he be someone of the same kind?

Not long after, a young man's voice came from outside the door: "Leng Liuer from the Northern Pacification Division, come here to report."

Feng Yu heard this, looked outside, and said with a smile: "Look, people are coming."

Jiang Yun looked outside the door. Leng Liu'er looked to be about 25 years old, with long hair, a resolute face, and was wearing the Feiyu uniform of the Northern Pacification Division.

But it seems that he is just a small flag and his official position is not high.

"Leng Liu'er, this is Jiang Yun, your direct superior this time." Feng Yu stepped forward and introduced.

Leng Liuer looked at Jiang Yun with a frown on his face. "Him? Is he worthy?"

No wonder this guy, with such strong talent and abnormal strength, is still just a small flag today...

This EQ is amazing.

Even if you look down on me, you can't say it to my face.

Jiang Yun's face was calm. Feng Yu coughed slightly and said, "Captain Jiang's ability is also outstanding. Jiang Yun, prepare yourself and rush to Xishu Province as soon as possible."

"Yes." Jiang Yun took a deep breath and nodded.

After Feng Yu left, Jiang Yun said to Xu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, notify Qi Da, Dong Qiaofeng, and Zhu Zanyu, the three generals, to gather their men and gather at the west gate of the capital in three hours."

"it is good."

The Zhou Kingdom was very large, and it would take half a month to reach Western Shu Province even if one rode at full speed. Before Jiang Yun left, he first returned to Sanqing Temple.

Wen Chen was sitting in the main hall, wiping the dust off the statue of the Three Pure Ones with a towel. "Master, you're here?" Wen Chen saw Jiang Yun coming and said, "Senior Brother Qin is back too, but he's locked up in his room, not eating, and even ignored me when I knocked on the door."

Jiang Yun nodded, and then said: "I have to go on a long journey. I estimate that it will take at least a month."

"If you have any problems during my absence, go to Xu Suwen from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for help. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Wen Chen nodded.

"Okay, keep busy. I'll go see your brother."

Soon, Jiang Yun came to Qin Shujian's door, knocked, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

Qin Shujian sat in a corner with his hair disheveled, staring at the ceiling with a decadent expression, his face was pale.

Jiang Yun came to him, sat down slowly, and said after thinking for a moment: "Qin Shujian, do you know why I accepted you as my apprentice?"

"Death and separation are indeed big things, but they are not everything in life. Master, I know your condition well, and I can't persuade you with just a few words."

"But you have to remember, why is your father so happy that you have become my disciple? Isn't it because you are on the right path?"

"Let's take a step back and say, even if you are sad, you should at least take some gold and silver and bring your father's body back from the Ministry of Justice so that you can have a grand funeral, right?"

After that, Jiang Yun said, "Think about it carefully."

After leaving Sanqing Temple, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and went to the Duke Zhenguo Mansion. The first thing he did was to say goodbye to Tao Yuelan.

When you live in someone else's house and are leaving for a few days, you should naturally inform the host. This is basic etiquette.

Tao Yuelan was in a good mood and wanted to keep him, but when Jiang Yun said that this mission was about the marriage granted by the Emperor...

He immediately told Uncle Wu to prepare some dry food and drinks, and specifically asked, "Is Xiaogang going with us?"

Jiang Yun nodded: "Xiaogang works for me, so of course I have to go."

But what Jiang Yun didn't expect was that Tao Yuelan muttered next: "If it really doesn't work, let Xiaogang take a leave. This kid is a bit unreliable. Don't delay your mission..."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I won't... I'll go see Miss Xu first."

When I arrived at Xu Suwen's courtyard, Jiang Qiaoqiao was not there. She must have gone to study with the teacher.

"Why are you back? I heard from Uncle Wu that you went to the East Pacification Office early in the morning." Xu Suwen was wearing a white plain dress and practicing swordsmanship in the yard.

Seeing Jiang Yun coming, he put his sword aside.

Jiang Yun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have received an order to leave the capital and go to Xishu Province to capture Master Wu Yue."

When Xu Suwen heard the words "Master Wu Yue", his eyebrows slightly frowned: "Do you need me to go with you?"

"We have sent an expert to accompany us, so we shouldn't be in any danger."

Xu Suwen held Jiang Yun's hand with a smile on his face: "When you return to the capital safely, His Majesty will grant us marriage, right?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yun felt the warmth of Xu Suwen's palm, and the throbbing feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Xu Suwen reminded, "Be careful about everything. There are many experts outside the capital. Don't trust them easily. If the mission is difficult, don't force it. Return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Qiaoqiao, I will take good care of you, don't worry."

Jiang Yun glanced at Shi Chen and nodded heavily: "I have to leave, wait for me to come back."

After walking out of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and quickly headed towards the west city gate.

When they arrived outside the city gate, eighty Jinyiwei were already ready to go.

There are also eighty horses.

Jiang Yun walked forward, climbed onto his horse, looked around at the line of Jinyiwei, and shouted, "Let's go!"

"drive!"

Everyone waved their whips and whipped their horses, and a group of Jinyiwei rushed quickly towards the direction of Xishu Province in a majestic manner.

When the merchants passing by saw this group of Jinyiwei, they quickly avoided them for fear of provoking them.

After traveling for a whole day, the group arrived at Jingxi Posthouse to temporarily stay. Once they left Jingxi Posthouse, they were out of the capital city.

A total of eighty people entered the post station and took their seats. The post station officer quickly served ten tables of good wine and food.

Jiang Yun looked at Leng Liu'er curiously. This guy was not very old...

At the wine table, Jiang Yun asked thoughtfully: "Leng Xiaoqi, odd changes but even does not change? What's the next sentence?"

Seeing Leng Liu'er frowning, Jiang Yun asked again: "What does Cao Cao like?"

"Hello, England, do you understand?"

Leng Liuer frowned deeply: "Speak human language."

After carefully observing the other party's reaction, Jiang Yun was sure that the other party was not from the same industry, but simply had an abnormal talent.

Afterwards, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and whispered to Leng Liuer and the three generals Qi Da, Dong Qiaofeng, and Zhu Zanyu at the table about the mission of this trip.

"Our mission this time is to kill this Master Wu Yue."

Unfortunately, the intelligence did not mention what realm Master Wu Yue was at or how strong he was.

Leng Liuer glanced at the surrounding Jinyiwei and said calmly: "Does this kind of mission require so many people?"

"Give me the address and the target, and I will kill them with my sword. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking."

Upon hearing this, Qi Da's face immediately showed displeasure: "Brother Leng, what you said is a bit unpleasant to hear. According to what you said, the Jinyiwei are useless for keeping so many people? They only need to keep a few experts?"

"That's true." Leng Liuer replied.

Qi Da slammed the table, and Jiang Yun hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Hey, General Qi, we are all colleagues on this trip, please give me some face."

Leng Liunian glanced at Jiang Yun and said calmly, "You are just a centurion, what face do you have to have?"

Jiang Yun: “…”

It's a miracle that this guy was promoted to a minor position in the Northern Pacification Division.

The reason you are still alive today is because of your strong abilities, right?

This stinky mouth...

Jiang Yun even suspected that this bastard had some kind of hatred-attracting system.

Xu Xiaogang was not surprised. After all, he had heard about Leng Liuer's character before.

At least in Xu Xiaogang's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this person's attitude. There is no master who doesn't rely on his talent and be arrogant.

If I had this talent, I would be even more arrogant than him.

Looking at the unhappy looks of the people at the table, Leng Liuer said calmly: "I like to speak harshly, please forgive me."

"I am full."

After Leng Liuer finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs to rest, obviously disdaining to associate with this group of people.

Xu Xiaogang spoke up at this time: "Leng Liu'er is not targeting us. I heard that he behaved like this in the Northern Pacification Division. We just need to get used to it."
