The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

After receiving the letter from Lu Linlang and the emperor, He Yue immediately rushed back from the border. Now the Tatars and Da Qi can finally live in peace temporarily, and he doesn't have to stay at the border all the time.

However, he could not trust the Tatars completely, so he would still go to the border to inspect and patrol every once in a while, and he must not let the Tatars take advantage of the situation.

He Yue knew at first glance that the letter from the emperor this time was very tricky. However, after he told Lu Linlang in the letter that he had lost a lot of manpower while tracking down those people, he decided to get rid of them.

When he returned to the capital and heard Yun Yi's story, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Therefore, the two of them immediately traveled day and night back to Chongshui. After Lu Linlang investigated those people, they had already discovered them, so both of them were worried that those people would attack Lu Linlang and her family, and wanted to go to Chongshui first to protect them.

On Lu Linlang's side, because of those people's reactions, she immediately ordered people to secretly deploy defenses in Chongshui, and be careful and vigilant against those people. Even Shuangqing Academy was within the protection range.

Wang Sanhu and his brothers took turns to take turns to protect the hopes for Daqi's future.

They were originally bandits, but now they have become serious guards, and they are responsible for protecting places such as academies where scholars study. Each of them cherishes this opportunity.

Lu Zhan and Yun Can also started patrolling the village with their men, questioning all the merchants coming in and out.

Even the villagers and clan leaders noticed that something was wrong, but Lu Linlang was worried about causing panic, so she didn't tell the villagers the reason directly. She only said that bandits had been rampant recently and several groups of bandits had appeared. Their Xishan Village was already gradually becoming wealthy, and it was easy for them to become a thorn in the eyes of others, so they had to be more careful and vigilant.

When everyone heard the news, they all understood, and even the village guards resumed patrols.

However, the clan leader felt that with Lu Linlang's ability, she should not have to be so wary of ordinary bandits. Lu Linlang did not hide anything from him and told him about the possible dangers.

Hearing about such a dangerous mission, the clan leader was also very worried. He told the guards to work hard and not to be lazy, lest they lose their lives. That would be really not worth it.

Everyone was on guard like this for a month, and fortunately, no suspicious people were found for the time being. It was not known whether the people from the Emperor's Organization had not arrived yet or they had other targets now.

He Yue and Yun Yi came back on horseback. Everyone in the family was very surprised to see them. He Feng circled around him. He hadn't seen his brother for a long time and missed him very much.

"Brother, I've studied hard and now I know thousands of characters. The teachers say I'm the smartest kid."

He Feng usually goes to school with the children in the village and lives a very comfortable life. With Lu Linlang, no one deliberately restricts him and he is happy every day.

"My brother is really smart. Keep up the good work. Although I can't always be with you, I know you must be a strong child."

He Yue also showed a relieved smile to his brother.

Warm and sweet time is always a luxury, and soon they went to discuss serious matters.

Yun Yi told them all the information he had seen. When they heard how horrible those people were, they got goosebumps all over their bodies just by imagining it.

"These people can be called monsters. They must be destroyed. Otherwise, who knows how many people will be harmed."

"That's right, if they don't take human life seriously and kill people at will, no matter how much money they have or how powerful they are, we must do our best to destroy them."

"What did these people eat or come into contact with? Were they abnormal from the beginning, or did they resort to some other means? Will there be more people like this?"

Yunxi couldn't help but think that there were so many things in this world that she didn't know about. What kind of thing had such ability?

"We need to destroy them while also protecting ourselves. I'm worried that if they find out we're tracking them, they'll attack the people around us. So we need to make everyone aware of this and protect themselves."

He Yue also said that these people seemed extremely dangerous to him.

"Yunyi, have you come across any ancient books or unofficial histories that mention any strange phenomena occurring somewhere before the founding of the country, or any records of meteorites falling?"

"Many ancient books from before the founding of the People's Republic of China have been destroyed. I don't have any of them I've read yet, but my teacher used to like collecting them. I wrote to my senior brother and asked him to help find them."

"Well, we can't wait any longer. Yunyi, you take care of this matter. Yunxi, look for medical books to see if there are any similar cases."

"Lu Zhan, Yun Can, you are responsible for patrolling the surrounding area. Make sure to check everyone who comes and goes."

When Dahua and the others came back, Lu Linlang told them the whole story again.

"This is too dangerous, sister. Don't worry, we won't hold you back. We must protect ourselves."

"Your own safety is paramount. Every day when you go to the academy to study, you must be vigilant of those around you. Even those you know should be treated with suspicion."

"Okay, we all know."

Several people nodded. Yu Wei and the other two looked around. Seeing that everyone was so nervous, they also became worried.

Taoist Zhang also came back from the mountain. Ever since Yangchun went to the academy, he had been wandering around alone and rarely stayed at home.

Hearing that Lu Linlang had encountered some difficulties recently, he came back to see if he could help.

"I have never seen such a person, but I remember when I was very young, I heard teachers mention that about 800 years ago, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky. Some people saw many stars falling from the sky. However, later generations thought it was made up and no one believed it.

I remember there was a book in our Taoist temple that recorded this incident. I went back to look for it myself to see where the stars fell and whether there were any other records.

Taoist Zhang thought of the stories he heard when he was a child, and suddenly felt that this matter was related to the strange appearance of those people.

"Then I'll have to trouble Taoist Zhang. You must be careful on your way there."

"Don't worry, although I am not good at fighting, I am a first-class escapee. Don't worry too much."

He Yue planned to go to Chenji County in person to track down those managers and the men in black robes. He also had many personal guards around him, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts.

Lu Linlang directed the operations from home while continuing to investigate strange events occurring in various locations.

Fortunately, new news came out soon. Those men in black robes appeared in another county, not far from Chenji County.

The same incident of a brothel girl disappearing also occurred, and they changed their method and no longer used the name of business to do it.

At the same time, cases of missing women also occurred in other counties, especially in some remote villages. When the girls first disappeared, no one dared to report it to the police. However, after a long time, when they continued to disappear, someone reported the case.

But when the government investigated, they found neither the person alive nor the body dead, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
