"My lords, my lords, it's not good!"

At a station in a small town in the southwest, people from the relay stations shouted loudly before the sky brightened, "People are dead!"

"What!"

Everyone ran out of the room and into the hut at the relay station, where they immediately saw Jia Yuanling, who died in the carriage.

"What happened? Wasn't it fine yesterday?"

What do you mean 'nice'? Ever since we left the Tan Yang, he has been vomiting and vomiting. I've already asked the doctor to take a look at him, in case he dies and it's hard to explain it to him.

The four officials who were escorting Jia Yuanling were in an uproar.

"Harassment?" Jia Yuanling is a young and strong man, why did he die so easily from the soil and water? "

"Ol 'Four, what are you trying to say? Jia Yuanling was already tortured in the court, and his heart and lungs were injured by Zhang Chong's kick. He had not fully recovered from the injury, so he had coughed all the way to his lungs."

The official called Number Four also had an unsightly expression, "No matter what, we have to find someone to test it on. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain ourselves when we go back."

That's right, it's fine if Jia Yuanling died, but Jia family will definitely not let this matter go.

"A thorough examination. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to explain it when I got back, but we agreed that we would split the money evenly."

"You only know that little bit of silver."

There was a group of people surrounding the house. Some of them felt that it was too unlucky to be around, and some of them were still watching.

After inspecting Jia Yuanling's corpse, he said: "This person has serious heart and lung injuries. He was traveling the entire way without being able to recuperate, and his physique is already poor, so a trifling matter of not being able to take care of him has taken away his life."

The four officials looked at each other, and one of them said, "I was just saying that it is impossible for a dead person to not submit to the circumstances. In the end, it was Zhang Chong's kick that injured them."

"Yea, I'm really unlucky to have taken on this job. How am I supposed to explain it when I go back?"

"Speak the truth."

"That's all we can do."

"Then should we bury this corpse? "Or …"

The four of them were silent for a moment, then the official called Fourth Brother said: "Let's stop at the memorial hall first, let the people from the relay station quickly send a letter back to Tan Yang, let's see what sire has to say."

"Then, then I'll listen to you."

"What bad luck."

The remaining onlookers also dispersed, and very quickly, the corpse in the prison cart was sent to the small town's righteous manor.

Amongst the dispersing crowd, some people frowned as they looked in the direction in which the carriage had been pulled away, and then quietly followed.

When he woke up on the second day, Ling Zhang felt warm in his body, as if there was endless energy in his body, and his spirit was also much better than before.

Thinking of the tens of thousands of ants' heart-wrenching pain last night, he still felt a lingering fear.

He remembered that he had fainted in the end, so he didn't know what had happened after that.

"Xia Feng."

Xia Feng heard Ling Zhang calling him and hurried in, "Young Noble, you're awake."

"What happened after I fainted last night?"

It was Senior Yu who carried you out, he even helped you change your clothes, and in the second half of the night, you suddenly suffered from cramps. It was Senior Yu who rushed over to help you massage it.

Xia Feng told Ling Zhang about what happened last night. After last night's incident, he was much less vigilant towards Yuwen Tong, so his tone had become a bit more natural.

After Ling Zhang heard this, his eyelids jumped. Yuwen Tong helped him change it?

"I heard that bamboo house's side had a light for the whole night."

Ling Zhang had a complex expression on his face.

"I know."

He clenched his fist and exerted all of his strength into it. He could clearly feel the wind from the punch. Not only did his body feel much lighter, it was also much easier to control.

Yuwen Tong's method was actually so effective.

After thinking about it, Ling Zhang didn't immediately go to Residence of nursing home, but instead went to the bamboo house next door.

"Is the marshal awake?" After Ling Zhang entered the bamboo house, he did not continue walking inside, but first asked about the guard on duty.

Just as the guard was about to answer, Yao Yi came out and said: "Ling childe, our Marshal is awake. Do you want to come in?"

"Did he not rest?"

Looking at Ling Zhang's expression, Yao Yi knew that Ling Zhang already knew about the Marshal's matter of him guarding the place all night, and answered: "No, the Marshal did not sleep late last night. He sat up again all night, and this subordinate did not hear anything even if I tried to advise him to rest."

The night before yesterday? It was the stack of papers that Yuwen Tong had given him that was filled with matrix diagram s and words. Even Yuwen Tong would feel tired if he did not rest well after two days.

Ling Zhang pursed his lips, "I'll go and see him."

"Please, young master." Yao Yi moved to the side.

Seeing Ling Zhang enter, Yao Yi smiled.

The guard on duty at the side whispered, "Captain, our Marshal's inner strength is so strong that he can stay awake for seven days and seven nights without doing anything. Was what you said earlier intentional?"

Yao Yi glared at him, "You talk too much."

The guard pulled back his neck and chuckled. After a while, his serious expression returned. It was hard to tell what he had just said.

Ling Zhang crossed the courtyard and stepped onto the corridor, standing under the corridor, he looked inside and saw Yuwen Tong standing in front of a wall, looking at the various map on the wall, thinking about something.

"I'm awake. How do you feel now?"

Yuwen Tong did not turn around, but he seemed to know that the person who had arrived was Ling Zhang.

Ling Zhang walked over and first looked at the map on the wall. The familiar terrain made him startled.

"My body is much more relaxed than before, my spirit much better." Ling Zhang answered, "I heard that you didn't sleep last night, and stayed up all night with me?"

"Yes, last night was your first time soaking in medicine and your meridians were cleared by inner force. At night, you might not be able to sleep well, or it might be some other problem. I feel more safe guarding it. After last night, nothing will happen."

"Thank you."

Yuwen Tong finally retracted his gaze from the map, and turned to look at him. "Hmm? You won't forget what I said. "

Of course Ling Zhang did not forget, Yuwen Tong did not allow him to say thanks.

"Since you haven't had a good rest in two nights, you might as well go to sleep."

Yuwen Tong raised his eyebrows. Not bad, you should be beginning to care about him.

"There's no need for that. I've been cultivating for a few cycles, so I don't feel tired at all." It's almost time for you to go and teach those idiots. "

"Even if your martial arts are high, you still have to rest." Ling Zhang insisted.

Yuwen Tong looked at him for a while, "Alright, I will go and lie down, quickly go and talk. If you continue talking the next time, the sky will brighten, how can I sleep anymore?"

Seeing that he was convinced, Ling Zhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "I will come back at noon."

Yuwen Tong nodded.

After Ling Zhang left, Yao Yi came in, "Marshal, we will help you watch the Ling childe. Please rest assured."

Yuwen Tong shot him a glance, and shifted his gaze back onto the blueprints on the wall, "There's no need."

"Huh?"

"Who told you I was really going to sleep?"

"But you just agreed to Ling childe's request."

"Can he leave when I say that? I didn't get even with you for your blabbering just now, and you still dare to mess with me?"

Yao Yi immediately shut his mouth, thinking that if he did something for the Ling childe, how would he know if he did it or not? It was one thing for the marshal to not praise him, but he was also to blame for not knowing the intentions of others.

"If you keep muttering in your heart, I'll let you go back to the capital."

Yao Yi was so scared that he immediately turned around and left, not daring to take a breath of relief until he walked far away.

He could guess what the marshal was going to say.

State Guard's base.

"Commander, County Order Jia is here to visit."

Zhang Chong sneered, and the fat on his face twitched, "Bring him in."

"Yes."

Jia Zhong was led into Zhang Chong's tent, and upon seeing Zhang Chong, he immediately smiled and bowed: "This official greets Commander Zhang, after a few days of not seeing you, Commander has become even more elegant."

"Enough, Jia Zhong. You don't have to do this to this commander. Why are you looking for me?"

"This official's words are from the bottom of my heart. I had originally wanted to offer some good things to the commander, but unfortunately, there has been some small matters in my family for the past few days and I have dragged it all to this day."

"What is it?"

Jia Zhong clapped his hands, allowing the Master Qian outside the tent to enter. The Master Qian held a tray in his hands, and the things on the tray were covered with a red silk cloth.

Jia Zhong took off the cloth and said, "Commander, please have a look."

Zhang Chong took a glance, and his eyes revealed a hint of interest. His attitude was finally a little better: "Alright Jia Zhong, I didn't think that you would be able to obtain such a thing."

Jia Zhong laughed: "This is all a blessing to you, it's also what I deserve to enjoy."

Zhang Chong waved his hand, allowing the janitor beside him to handle that thing. Then, he looked at Jia Zhong and said, "I heard that your family created a big joke two days ago."

Jia Zhong's face stiffened, and said: "Sorry about that, Commander."

"Fun? I am too lazy to laugh at you all, I did not learn to be smarter even after falling on Ling Family again and again. Then, such a good chess piece like Liu Chengfang was used by you all as trash. Not only is Ling Zhaowen fine, you guys have gotten yourself into a mess.

Jia Zhong's expression was extremely ugly, "That's right, that old fool wanted to bite off a piece of meat from our Jia family, but he refused to let it go, he's extremely detestable."

"I heard that your brother insisted on marrying Liu Chengfang as a wife?"

"He's joking with my elder sister-in-law. How could he possibly get married off to her? At most, he would just take her in as his concubine."

"Then what did you come to me for? Do you want me to help you get rid of Liu Weiling?"

Zhang Chong stared at Jia Zhong, his eyes seemed to be able to see through Jia Zhong.

Cold sweat trickled down Jia Zhong's back as he forcefully pretended to be calm and said: "How could I trouble Commander on such a small matter like Liu Weiling to help me? I came to ask if Commander has any good plans to help me get rid of Ling Zhaowen."

Zhang Chong slowly leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold as he said: "I know what you're thinking, what does Ling Zhaowen count as, this time I want to capture all the people who disobeyed me."

"Commander, if you have any plans, feel free to instruct me." Jia Zhong said happily, he could not wait to know Zhang Chong's plan.

"What's the rush? This commander has his own plans for this matter. You just need to return and wait. If there's anything I want you to do, I'll tell you."

However, Zhang Chong's mouth was very tight, and didn't have any intention of divulging this information to Jia Zhong.

Although Jia Zhong was not satisfied, he did not dare go against Zhang Chong. He thought that the Ling Family would be eliminated very soon, so he patiently said: "Then this official will await Commander's orders."
