Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Recently, news of a city-building treasure suddenly spread in Jingzhou Prefecture.

It is rumored that the Liancheng Treasure is a treasure left behind by the royal family of a country called Liang before the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Rumor has it that the Liancheng Treasure contains more than just treasures that are rich enough to rival a country.

In addition, there is the magical power Shenzhaojing that can bring people back to life.

For a time, the entire martial arts world in the Great Zhou was in an uproar.

Not only the areas controlled by the Zhou royal family, but also the vassal states such as Xiliang, Eastern Sui, Northern Song, and Nanli, there were ambitious people who traveled thousands of miles to Jingzhou Prefecture.

When Lin Fan and Lu Wen arrived at Jingzhou Prefecture with the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the entire Jingzhou Prefecture was in turmoil and full of mixed people.

This time, Lu Wen brought five hundred Jinyiwei with him and marched in a mighty force, determined to get the Liancheng treasure.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Lu Wen immediately took Lin Fan and others to the Jingzhou prefectural government office.

Jingzhou government office, backyard.

The prefect Ling Tui Si had just returned from the prison. With a face full of anger, he found his daughter Ling Shuang Hua and said angrily:

"You traitor! If you had helped me get the secret of Liancheng's treasure from Ding Dian earlier, how could we be in this situation now?"

Originally, Ling Tui Si had long been eyeing the Liancheng treasure, but unfortunately he was never able to pry open Ding Dian's mouth and could not find the Liancheng treasure.

Now, the news of Liancheng's treasure has spread all over the world. Countless forces in the martial arts world and high-ranking officials in the imperial court have come to Jingzhou Prefecture.

The situation in Jingzhou Prefecture was in extreme chaos, and his hope of seizing Liancheng's treasure became even slimmer.

Ling Shuanghua said calmly, "Father is the prefect of Jingzhou, rich and noble. Why would he be obsessed with coveting that illusory treasure?"

"Perhaps, that priceless treasure doesn't even exist. Besides, what's the point of having so much treasure?"

"Hmph, what do you know?" Ling Tui Si heard this and said coldly, "If you don't agree to find Ding Dian to find out the secret of Liancheng's treasure for me, I will find someone to marry you to and completely sever your relationship with Ding Dian!"

When Ling Shuanghua heard Ling Tui Si's words, her face changed and she felt sad.

"Sir, the Jinyiwei from Kyoto are here to visit." At this moment, the respectful voice of a servant was heard outside the room.

Hearing that voice, Ling Tuisi's expression changed. He adjusted his mood and said to Ling Shuanghua, "Think it over carefully."

After saying that, Ling Tui Si turned away.

After leaving the room, Ling Tui Si immediately put on a smile and walked quickly towards the gate of the government office.

"I am Ling Tuisi, the prefect of Jingzhou. My greetings to you, sir. What is your name? Do you have any instructions for me since I have come to Jingzhou?"

As soon as Ling Tui Si arrived at the gate, he saw Lu Wen and Lin Fan, who were leading hundreds of Jinyiwei standing solemnly. His heart couldn't help but jump.

Lu Wen bowed and said, "Captain Lu Wen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has led his men to Jingzhou to investigate the matter of Liancheng's treasure."

"As the prefect of Jingzhou, Lord Ling must know more about the situation than we do. I have come here to ask for your guidance."

Ling Tuisi smiled and said, "So it's Captain Lu. Your Excellency is really praising me. Although I am the prefect of Jingzhou, when it comes to being well-informed, I can't compare to the Jinyiwei."

"However, Ling is willing to cooperate with Lord Lu and fully investigate the matter of Liancheng's treasure. Lord Lu, please come to the mansion to discuss in detail."

After saying that, Ling Tui Si extended his hand towards Lu Wen and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Wen turned and said to the people behind him, "Lin Fan and several centurions, follow me inside. Each general flag, lead the brothers to disperse first, gather information in Jingzhou Prefecture, and then report back here in the evening."

"I obey my orders!"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded respectfully.

At that moment, Lu Wen, Lin Fan, and the five Jinyiwei centurions who came with him this time, went to the Jingzhou government office together with Ling Tui Si.

After entering the government hall, Ling Tui Si had tea and snacks served, followed by some polite exchanges.

After some pleasantries, Lu Wen asked Ling Tui Si, "Lord Ling is in charge of Jingzhou. Do you know where the news of Liancheng's treasure came from?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Tui Si quickly said, "I, Ling, really didn't know that the news of the city-building treasure suddenly spread throughout Jingzhou Prefecture overnight, and then from Jingzhou Prefecture to the entire world."

"However, in my opinion, this city-level treasure is completely fictitious. Perhaps some conspirator is spreading rumors behind the scenes to cause chaos in Jingzhou Prefecture."

Lu Wen smiled and said, "Oh? Why does Lord Ling say that?"

Lin Fan, who was standing aside, watched Ling Tui Si's performance and sneered in his heart.

This guy must be afraid that the Jinyiwei will find Liancheng's treasure, and then he will have nothing to do.

Lin Fan has no good feelings towards Ling Tui Si, a sinister and vicious character.

If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind getting rid of it!

Ling Tuisi naturally didn't know what Lin Fan was thinking. After hearing Lu Wen's words, he immediately said:

"Master Lu, you know that Jingzhou Prefecture is now a mixed bag. There are too many forces in Jingzhou Prefecture to count."

Lu Wen continued, "Lord Ling, why don't you tell me which forces have come to Jingzhou Prefecture?"

Ling Tui Si did not hide anything about this and told the story incessantly.

Hearing the name of the force mentioned by Ling Tui Si, Lu Wen and the five captains of the Jinyiwei all looked solemn.

Lin Fan also raised his brows slightly, and was actually looking forward to the battle for Liancheng's treasure.

According to Ling Tui Si, within the area controlled by the Great Zhou royal family, troops from various forces including the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the Sun and Moon Sect, the Four Southern Wonders, the Murong Family, the Yihua Palace, and the Qingyi Tower have all arrived.

In addition, there are the Xuanyuan family and the Xiliang Palace in Xiliang, the Yuwen family and the Dugu family in Eastern Sui, the Tang family, the Leijiabao, and the Anhe in Nanli, the Gusu Murong family and the Xingxiu sect in Northern Song, and so on.

Compared to the original novel, the impact of this priceless treasure is much greater!

A captain of the Jinyiwei said solemnly, "Sir, the situation is complicated now. It's difficult for us to seize the city treasure with so many wolves around us. It's better to ask for help from above."

Lu Wen said coldly, "We just arrived in Jingzhou Prefecture, and we immediately asked for help. Doesn't this seem too cowardly?"

"Even if we ask for help, we have to wait until we have confirmed that we have found the treasure."

"Best regards, sir!"

Upon hearing this, several centurions responded respectfully.

Lin Fan also flattered him and continued, "Sir, the situation outside is complicated right now. I'm afraid the strength of the people below us is insufficient."

"How about I and a few centurions personally lead the team to gather information, while you, sir, stay at the prefectural office and coordinate the operations."

"Not bad," Lu Wen said with a satisfied smile. He said to the five captains, "Did you see that? Learn from Deputy Captain Lin. This is the style of our Jinyiwei!"

"I obey my orders!"

Upon hearing this, the five Jinyiwei captains all responded respectfully to Lu Wen.

Lin Fan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Lu Wen waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go down. Lord Ling and I will discuss how to deal with the current chaotic situation."

"Subordinates resign!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and the five Jinyiwei captains clasped their fists in response and then slowly retreated.

After leaving the prefectural yamen, Lin Fan said goodbye to the five centurions and turned around to act alone, pretending to gather information.

In fact, Lin Fan's destination was Tianning Temple, the place where Liancheng's treasure was hidden...
