Although Liu Yi suddenly asked about this, he answered without hesitation: "Yanzhou is much calmer than here. I heard that the Tan Yang is a calamity, and that they have to increase their manpower every year, so I decided to give it a try and use my martial arts. "

"Then why didn't she go?" Ling Zhang asked.

This time, Liu Yi did not immediately answer and hesitated.

"Whatever you think, I won't let this secret out of the room." Ling Zhang said.

Liu Yi said: "This subordinate is not worried about that. Eldest Young Master, I know that you and State Guard Commander have a conflict, can this conflict be resolved?"

"What?" Ling Zhang did not immediately state his position, but waited for him to explain.

"Tan Yang State Guard is abnormal. Although they are strong, they did not exterminate the bandits. They either planned to exterminate the bandits in one go, or they have other plans. During this period of time, this subordinate has been asking around about the State Guard and felt more and more that there's something strange about them. " Liu Yi said.

"You're worried that they want to rebel?" Ling Zhang immediately concluded.

Ling Zhang's words were too straightforward, causing Liu Yi's expression to change. In the end, he still nodded, "That's right, Ling Family is at odds with them, what if … Ling Family found it hard to resist. "

Ling Zhang believed that Liu Yi was sincerely reminding him.

"Thank you for your reminder. The conflict between Ling Family and Zhang Chong cannot be resolved with this situation. If you are afraid of it, you can leave, and I won't stop you. "

Liu Yi looked at Ling Zhang seriously for a good while, and said: "This subordinate thanks young master for your good will as well. Since this subordinate chose to come to the Ling Family as a guard at this time, I have already made my choice."

"Alright." Ling Zhang got up, "Big Brother Liu is truly loyal, then I won't hide this from you. If we Ling Family want to live, we must get rid of this enemy, Zhang Chong.

"I heard that you have investigated the encampment of the Tan Yang State Guard before. I wonder if you found anything special?"

Liu Yi understood what Ling Zhang meant, and thought for a while before saying, "I once sneaked into the outskirts of the base to investigate, and discovered a group of suspicious looking people that entered the base. Although they dressed normally, their actions were like those of first-rate bandits."

"Are you sure they're bandits?" Ling Zhang hurriedly asked.

Liu Yi thought about it again. This time, his tone was much more determined. "Eighty percent sure."

Even though Ling Zhang had always thought that the State Guard and those bandits had colluded with each other, he had never caught anything substantial.

If he could catch Zhang Chong showing up, or if he could find solid evidence of State Guard colluding with bandits, he was afraid that Zhang Chong would not fall.

"Big Brother Liu, I want to ask you and the King's Head to do something." Ling Zhang said.

"Please instruct me, Eldest Young Master." Liu Yi said.

"I want to invite you and the King's Head to squat and guard the State Guard encampment at night. If there are any more people that are suspected of being bandits, follow them and see which mountain they are from." Ling Zhang said.

Liu Yi did not hesitate, "Alright."

"This will probably take a long time. If you encounter any problems, just let me know and I'll solve them for you." Ling Zhang said.

"Don't worry Eldest Young Master, I have been darting all year round and have done many things at night. We are also martial artists, so we can just take turns to crouch here and there. " Liu Yi said.

"Marshal, Eldest Young Master Ling's letter to Xia Feng is for him to check the background of the new guard, Liu Yi." Seeing that Yuwen Tong had returned, Yao Yi told him the result of his investigation.

Yuwen Tong nodded, "It's been hard on you."

"Marshal, Ling childe's investigation is so strict. Do you think he wants to do something?" Yao Yi asked.

"Ling Family is not in a very good situation right now. He first checked all the servants in the manor and then checked all the guards in the courtyard. He's just worried that someone might take advantage of him."

"That's right, those people at the entrance of the Ling Family were all ordered to come here by someone unknown." Yao Yi said.

Yuwen Tong glanced at him, "You know that someone wants to get the Ling Family, but you still don't know what to do?"

Yao Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting, "This subordinate will ask someone to investigate!"

Yuwen Tong withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and said: "Although the amount of transactions that Zhang Chong has made with the Jia family mine is not large, the transaction between them has already been for two years. It has accumulated to a large extent, and is enough for them to forge a large amount of weapons and other military supplies.

"Yes."

Also, Jia family has recorded all the transactions with Zhang Chong in an account book. This account book is very important, you must think of a way to get it back, since you guys aren't very familiar with the forging of the account book. Send a message to Yue Qi, ask him to notify Xiao Liu and rush to Tan Yang immediately.

"Yes."

"Hurry up and get down."

"Yes."

After Yao Yi left, Yuwen Tong took a pen and ink, and wrote down all the medicinal ingredients needed to clear the meridians. Initially, he wanted to write something else down after writing it down, but after thinking for a while, he stopped and said: "I had better personally teach him this kind of thing."

After thinking about something, a glint flashed across his eyes.

After folding the prescription that he wrote, he stood up and walked out.

After Ling Zhang finished instructing him and Wang Dashan, he started to prepare for the Twelve Confinement Arrays. Liu Yi had now filled the gap, there were exactly 12 people in the palace's guard courtyard, Liu Yi was someone he thought was trustworthy, and the verification towards Xia Feng was done just in case. When the letter from his side arrived, the Twelve Confinement Arrays would be grouped together.

Twelve people, twelve different positions, and this formation had twelve variations. To let twelve people completely master it would take quite a bit of time.

What kind of combination change should they master first? While thinking, he drew out 12 different changes to his position on the paper.

"Eldest Young Master, Senior Yu is here." A servant said from outside the study.

Ling Zhang quickly stopped writing, and put down the layer of white paper, covering the things below.

Yuwen Tong had only been separated for a short while, why was he here again?

"Send him in." Ling Zhang stood up and left the desk.

Yuwen Tong came in from outside with his hands behind his back, as if he was holding something.

"This is the prescription. Go and get the ingredients on the prescription. Once you've prepared all of these, we can begin to clear your meridians."

Ling Zhang took the prescription and looked at it carefully. Other than a few which were more difficult to arrange, the others were not difficult.

"Thank you."

"I need to soak in the medicinal bath seven times. It won't feel good, so when the time comes, don't blame me for what's going to happen." Yuwen Tong said.

"If I can't even endure this little bit of suffering and really complain about it, then I'm not worth it for you to continue helping me. When the time comes, just stop." Ling Zhang said calmly.

Yuwen Tong slightly raised his brows, "Let's wait and see."

While speaking, Yuwen Tong's gaze unintentionally swept across Ling Zhang's desk. Coincidentally, a light breeze blew in from outside the window, causing a corner of the paper on top of it to blow out, revealing half of the matrix diagram below.

His gaze paused for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened, not allowing Ling Zhang to notice it.

Although he had only seen half of it, it did not prevent Yuwen Tong from seeing that it was an ingenious formation. It was different from the formations passed down through the Yu Wen Family from generation to generation.

Ling Zhang actually knew such an exquisite array formation …

Yuwen Tong seemed to be deep in thought. When he was conversing with Ling Zhang, his eyes secretly examined the entire study room. Other than the matrix diagram, he didn't find anything else related to formations.

From what he had gathered and observed from coming to the Tan Yang, the people of the Ling Residence did not know that their Eldest Young Master understood formations. Either Ling Zhang was concealing it himself, or the people of the Ling Family were concealing it intentionally, so no one knew about it.

Looks like he had to properly investigate the background of the Ling Family's past.

"Do you know who ordered the trouble at the door today?" Yuwen Tong suppressed his doubts and conjectures and asked Ling Zhang.

"Other than Jia family and Zhang Chong, I can't think of anyone else. Jia family has always been jealous of my Second Uncle's position, and the conflicts between the two families are all because of this. After a period of time, my Second Uncle will rise to the position of Zuo Tong Zhi Zun, and the position of the right side will be replaced by the Lu Family. Ling Zhang said.

"So that's how it is. Which family is this Lu Family you're talking about?" Yuwen Tong asked.

"Lu Family also has some status in the Tan Yang City. The in charge is a good friend of my Second Uncle, he holds the position of County Order in Wu County, and will be promoted to the next position on the list of friends on the list." Ling Zhang said.

As he said till here, Ling Zhang unavoidably recalled the miserable state of the Lu Family in his previous life where their entire clan had been exterminated.

Thinking about it now, the fact that the Lu Family s had been exterminated, and Lu Kui had been promoted to the next rank was also one of the reasons.

"Lu Family also has a medicinal field. To the east of the city, it's slightly smaller than our family's." Ling Zhang continued.

Yuwen Tong nodded, "Since they came with this goal in mind, if one move is not enough, there must be a second move."

Ling Zhang said: "I know, before my Second Uncle can stabilize his position as the Left Friend, there will still be plenty of trouble. You, do you want to live somewhere else? If your identity is exposed, it will be too difficult for you to investigate Zhang Chong in secret. "

"No need, this place is good." Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang's words made him feel a little comfortable, although he did not know why.

"Besides, I'm staying here. If there's anything I can help you with, don't you want me to help you?" Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang paused, "Such a huge backer, do you think I would turn my back on you?"

Yuwen Tong laughed lightly, "How rare, you actually admit that I'm a big supporter."

Ling Zhang's face froze, he did not want to admit it, but... Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, in the past few days, his guard against Yuwen Tong had unknowingly waned by quite a bit.

Moreover, he didn't need to admit to Yuwen Tong's power.
