You want to help us?

Thinking about it, Yuwen Tong turned and walked back into Ling Zhang's house.

Seeing him suddenly return, Ling Zhang frowned.

If I don't cause trouble for you, you in Tan Yang should know about Zhang Chong's actions in Tan Yang. Yuwen Tong sat down again and looked at Ling Zhang.

Ling Zhang's heart was still on fire, he didn't feel like talking to Yuwen Tong at all.

Ever since Yuwen Tong had appeared, the monstrous waves in his heart had never calmed down. Right now, he really wanted to be alone and think of what he should do.

"Why, are you still angry?" Yuwen Tong said.

said as if he was making a fuss out of nothing. His lips curled into a spurious smile, "Marshal is joking, how can I? I just don't know which aspect Marshal is referring to."

Yuwen Tong had not known him well enough when he first came to Tan Yang, so of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to tell Yuwen Tong everything.

In his previous life, he still remembered the faces of Yuwen Clan's servants very clearly. Was the Yuwen Clan really worth trusting?

So, even if Yuwen Tong had helped him just now, it was a matter of great importance, so Ling Zhang did not dare to casually gamble.

"Zhang Chong has a cousin who is serving as his concubine and he is sixteen years old when he is born. By the time he becomes an adult next year, he would have already accumulated power to fight for the throne, but he is not a direct descendant. If he wants to obtain the throne, he needs to have enough power to fight for it. Zhang Chong is one of his shields."

So it was like that, no wonder Zhang Chong had such a deep roots in the Tan Yang, it was because he had such a deep background protecting him in the imperial court.

Ling Zhang frowned and asked Yuwen Tong, "Could it be that the Marshal is optimistic about this prince?"

If Yuwen Tong and Zhang Chong were to get involved, then he would be Zhang Chong's enemy!

"Watch carefully?" Yuwen Tong laughed disdainfully, "What is there for him to be worthy of my interest? The Emperor is suspicious and ignorant, his son is also born with a weird aura, his abilities are not great, his mind is a mess, and all of them are useless. I can't even recreate all of them once if I want to look after them. "

Ling Zhang opened his eyes wide and looked at him, this, how could this man dare to say such outrageous words in front of him, was he not afraid of him saying them?

Perhaps, it was because Ling Zhang's shocked appearance was really interesting. Yuwen Tong could not help but carefully size Ling Zhang up again, and sigh in his heart, the more he looked at him, the more he liked Ling Zhang.

He began to think that he might as well not cancel the marriage and marry him back.

Then why did you inquire about Zhang Chong? Ling Zhang asked as he suppressed the shock of Yuwen Tong's rude speech with much difficulty.

"I don't want to be outside fighting the enemy, and there's trouble in there. "What's more …" Yuwen Tong's tone slightly paused here, then continued: "I heard your housekeeper mention the grudge between you, Jia family, and Zhang Chong. Your grandfather once saved my grandfather's life, and even though my grandfather had already passed away, I will still remember this favor.

Help them? The meaning behind Yuwen Tong's words was to deal with Zhang Chong?!

There was also the matter of saving someone's life …

Ling Zhang looked at Yuwen Tong's eyes seriously, trying to find a trace of lie in his eyes. However, Yuwen Tong's eyes were firm and calm, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Yuwen Tong spoke with sincerity …

"Do you really want to help us?" Ling Zhang asked.

"Whether I'm sincere or not, all you have to do is see what I can do. Right now, Zhang Chong and your family's relationship is already like water and fire. He has a lot of power in the Tan Yang, so what happened in the forest today is only the beginning. He will have even more methods after this. Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang's heart trembled. If Zhang Chong's background was really like what Yuwen Tong had said, then what he needed to deal with was not only Zhang Chong, but the enormous power behind him. Could he really rely on his own strength to protect Ling Family and flip them over?

However, if Yuwen Tong were to help, it would be a completely different situation. With the troops that Yuwen Tong had currently, even if he wanted to rebel, it would all be in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, there was a subtle pause in Yuwen Tong's words just now. It was true that he wanted to help the Ling Family, but there must be another reason behind it.

"I'll tell you." Ling Zhang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

This was possibly the only chance he had right now. If he missed this chance, it would be difficult for any forces that could match up to Zhang Chong to help him.

For this reason, he could temporarily suppress the humiliation from the Yuwen Clan's servants in his previous life! As long as Yuwen Tong really helped him, he could give up his hatred towards Yuwen Clan.

"In the Tan Yang, nine out of ten merchants are related to Zhang Chong. It's not that they have to curry favor with Zhang Chong, but if they did not, their goods would not be transported to Tan Yang, and even their entire family would not be able to survive. Although they would be unlucky to have their goods stolen, at least their lives would be saved.

"After so many of these things happen, everyone will be afraid, and no one will dare not be filial to Zhang Chong. Gradually, the authority of the State Guard surpassed the authority of the Prefecture Yamen, and many officials came to Zhang Chong's side. Other than taking care of some trivial matters, the affairs of the Lord Tao were not under his control, and Zhang Chong had long ago decided to take charge of it. Even though the Prefecture Yamen was the one who made the announcement in the end, it was merely a formality. "

's words revealed a lot of meaning. The Tan Yang had now become Zhang Chong's control, and even the bandits were secretly colluding with the State Guard.

"I heard that you had ruthlessly humiliated Zhang Chong last time at Prefecture Yamen." Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "He is only borrowing the power of the commoners, as long as Zhang Chong did not seal the Tan Yang, there will definitely be news about it.

Using that move once would be useless. Zhang Chong was not an idiot.

Yuwen Tong's face was solemn, "Where is Tan Yang State Guard's base, do you know the situation inside?"

"People like us are unable to enter, and even if we go near them, we will be caught and used as bandits' spies." Ling Zhang said.

Thinking about what the Second Uncle had told him, Ling Zhang hesitated about whether or not he should tell Yuwen Tong.

"You still have something to say?" Yuwen Tong was acutely aware of it.

"Zhang Chong passed the report to the imperial government two days ago, requesting them to expand the scope of the encampment even further. If it is really what State Guard needs, then so what if Ling Family gives this piece of medicinal field away? But the scope of the State Guard's encampment has already far exceeded the regulations, if it continues to expand, it would be enough for him to rebel. " Ling Zhang said.

Yuwen Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression did not contain much surprise, "You think he will succeed?"

"The request that Zhang Chong had made to the imperial government all these years, was rarely unsuccessful." Ling Zhang said.

Yuwen Tong nodded his head: "That's true, when The Emperor was confused, the sky would fall and we wouldn't even be able to see it."

Ling Zhang looked at him in shock, and criticized the emperor so casually. Was Yuwen Tong really not afraid that he would spread the news? Or do you believe that he won't tell?

"I will stop him from playing his request. Is there anything else?" Yuwen Tong said.

He agreed so easily? Ling Zhang almost thought that he heard wrong.

Yuwen Tong had already asked him with his eyes. Ling Zhang came back to reality and thought for a while: "All these years, Zhang Chong has been secretly buying ores from the Jia family mine. As for whether I should forge weapons or do something else, there's no way to tell if I can enter the State Guard encampment."

Yuwen Tong's expression finally showed some change. He frowned: "Jia family's mine?"

Ling Zhang nodded his head: "It's just over at the Western Mountain. Even though the size of the mine isn't very big, but after these two to three years, it's already considered a huge number."

"Why hasn't anyone reported such a serious matter?" Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang looked at him strangely: "How many Recital in Tan Yang can reach the heavens? I don't know if he brought up the matter with the Lord Tao, but other than that … Tao Yi told me many times that his father had asked the imperial army to solve the problem of the bandits and once and for all, it was rejected. "

With a cold snort, the edge of Yuwen Tong's body could not help but reveal a little.

Ling Zhang trembled slightly, and even his breathing unconsciously relaxed. It was only now that he realized that Yuwen Tong had been suppressing his aura this whole time, so that didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

"Yao Yi." Yuwen Tong suddenly said.

"Milord." Immediately a Black Man came in.

"Send a letter back to the capital, get them to stop Zhang Chong's request." Yuwen Tong said.

"Yes." Black Man called Yao Yi replied.

Then, Yuwen Tong looked at Ling Zhang. "The mine you are talking about, where exactly is it?"

Ling Zhang turned around silently and walked to the desk to grind the ink. He touched the brush and drew a rough map of the western mountains, then handed it over to Yuwen Tong.

"I don't know the exact location, but it should be around here." Ling Zhang pressed on a circle on the paper.

Yuwen Tong nodded and kept it.

Ling Zhang saw that he had kept it, and was a little doubtful.

Yuwen Tong seemed to know what he was thinking, "I'll investigate it myself."

Ling Zhang nodded his head, a look of confusion and doubt in his eyes.

The current Yuwen Tong gave off a feeling that he could do anything if it were given to him, giving him a sense of safety. It was very different from what he had imagined all this while, so what was going on?

As he silently returned to his seat, Ling Zhang felt that his heart was still very messy.

"No one? "Why is there no one here?"

In the State Guard's encampment, Zhang Chong sat on the seat of honor, his sharp eyes sweeping across the dozens of people kneeling on the ground, as he asked slowly.

These dozens of people were the Patrol who caught the medicine farmer previously.

"Those medicinal masters did not go to the wild forest's pond to draw water today. They have been staying in the medicinal field the entire time and have not come out." The leader of the Patrol lowered his head and replied.

"Those medicinal farmers usually go to the wild forest to fetch water everyday, why didn't they go today?" A man dressed like a Deputy Commander asked.
