Chapter 390: Shanhe Tower, Jade Dew Peach
Yang Zhengshan also drank a lot of wine with these officials, but after the banquet, Yang Zhengshan came to a magnificent courtyard in the city.

"Eunuch Lu!"

Lu Hua sat under a pine tree in the courtyard, raised his glass to the moon and drank leisurely.

"General Yang, please take a seat!" Lu Hua gracefully made a gesture of invitation.

Yang Zhengshan didn't hesitate and sat down on the stone bench next to him. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down with his head raised.

Mm, top-notch herbal wine!

Well, this is what he gave to Lu Hua.

The two of them sat there quietly, looking up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, drinking one cup after another.

The cool autumn breeze gives people an extremely refreshing feeling.

The lingering scent of pine gives people a relaxing and comfortable feeling.

"Eunuch Lu, do you have any advice for me?" Yang Zhengshan asked first.

It was Lu Hua who asked him to come over tonight, and it was very sudden.

Lu Hua's lips curled up slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Zhengshan and said, "General Yang, you are in big trouble!"

"Oh! What's the big trouble?" Yang Zhengshan asked, stroking his beard.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling heavy inside.

Even Lu Hua said it was a big trouble, so this trouble must be big.

Lu Hua took out a golden token from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhengshan, "This is your big trouble!"

Yang Zhengshan took the token and looked at it in astonishment.

On the back of the token is written a poem: "Snow sings in the vast sky, the mountains and rivers are gone, the night is cold at the river head, and the sky is high."

"What a loud tone!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at the poem and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Turning it over, there are three big characters "Shanhe Ling" written on it.

"What is this?" Yang Zhengshan asked in confusion.

This token looks a bit unorthodox.

It doesn't look like the imperial court's token. The imperial court doesn't have such a cheesy token.

"The Shanhe Order of Shanhe Tower!" said Lu Hua.

Yang Zhengshan's mind moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Shanhe Tower was a gang force.

"If I remember correctly, this Shanhe Tower should be a killer force!"

Shanhe Tower is also a well-known force in the Darong world.

However, it is not a martial arts sect, but a killer organization.

"Yes, it is this Shanhe Tower!" Lu Hua nodded, looked at Yang Zhengshan with interest, and continued: "General Yang, you are on the gold list of Shanhe Tower. The reward for killing you is a Jade Dew Spirit Peach!"

"Jade Dew Peach?" Yang Zhengshan's pupils shrank slightly.

There are many types of precious medicines, including spiritual fruits.

Spiritual fruits have always been relatively rare. According to legend, there is only one spiritual fruit tree in Dayong, and that is the one that Emperor Taizu encountered back then.

Today, this spiritual fruit tree is in the hands of the royal family. As for where this spiritual fruit tree is, what kind it is, and what effects the spiritual fruit has, the outside world knows nothing about it.

"The Jade Dew Peaches grow on Peach Blossom Island in the South China Sea. They bear fruit once every ten years, and only thirty-six peaches each time. Each peach can condense a trace of innate true qi, which can help acquired warriors cultivate innate true qi!" Lu Hua explained.

After listening to this, an idea suddenly popped into Yang Zhengshan's mind.

Peach Blossom Island?
Is the island owner Huang Yaoshi?

Of course, he knew this was impossible, so he didn't ask.

"so what?"

"So many people will come to kill you for the Jade Dew Peaches!" Lu Hua said.

Yang Zhengshan picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Shanhe Tower has its own assassins and can also issue missions to the outside world. As long as someone can complete the mission, they will pay the bounty, but the origin and identity of the person who completes the mission are unknown.

In short, as long as you can complete the task, you can get the reward on the Shanhe Building Gold List.

Shanhe Tower's reputation in the world is top-notch, and no one would suspect that Shanhe Tower embezzled the bounty.

"Who wants to kill me?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Shanhe Tower is not the key, the key is who wants to kill him?
He was really flattered that they were willing to offer a reward for his life with a treasure like the Jade Dew and Spirit Peach.

"I don't know!" said Lu Hua.

"Is there anything that your Secret Guards don't know?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"There are many things that we Secret Guards don't know, and there are even more things that I don't know!" said Lu Hua.

Although the Secret Guards were powerful, they could not know everything about the world. And Lu Hua was only the commander of the Secret Guards' Zhenbei Division, and he did not even know everything about the Secret Guards, let alone the world.

"But there shouldn't be many people who want to kill you!" Lu Hua said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. There weren’t many people who wanted to kill him, but there were quite a few too.

Prince Qing and Prince Utuo, who had just been defeated by him, probably wanted his life.

As for the others, there should be someone in Kyoto who wants his life.

Thinking of Kyoto, Yang Zhengshan lowered his eyes slightly.

"It seems that my journey to Kyoto will not be peaceful!"

Lu Hua picked up the wine and said, "Then I wish General Yang a safe journey!"

"..."

No sincerity at all!

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

……

On September 22, autumn deepens and winter is approaching.

Yang Zhengshan left Chongshan Pass without waiting for the Yang family to arrive.

He wanted to rush to Kyoto as soon as possible to learn about the situation in the court. Based on hearsay, his understanding of the court was too vague.

As for the Yang family moving to Chongshan Pass, Yang Zhengshan naturally did not need to take care of it. Yu Qingyi was enough.

However, Yang Zhengshan missed Yu Qingyi a little. A short separation is better than a new reunion. They haven't seen each other for several months, so Yang Zhengshan naturally missed his wife.

However, the matter of being conferred a title of nobility involved too many things, so he had to deal with them carefully.

Moreover, the matter of Shanhe Tower was still weighing on his mind, so he had to leave Chongshan Pass to attract attention, lest anyone set their sights on the Yang family.

He did not bring too many people with him on this trip to Kyoto, only twenty of his close followers.

After explaining the matters at the General's Mansion, the group of twenty-one riders left Chongshan Pass without any cover.

As he walked out of Chongshan Pass, news that he was going to Kyoto spread to all parts of Daiei.

Jizhou City, Hengdao Gate.

In a room with simple decoration, an old man in a loose Taoist robe sat quietly in front of the chessboard, tapping the chess pieces idly.

Ji Hai pushed the door open and entered the room, clasping his fists to the old man and bowing, "Master! I just received news that General Yang has left Chongshan Pass!"

The old man in front of the chessboard is Ji Zhen, known as the best warrior in Liaodong.

As a martial arts master who was once famous, Ji Zhen is by no means an ordinary person, and the Hengdao Sect is now one of the most powerful forces in Jizhou and Liaodong.

"How many people did he bring?"

"Twenty people?"

"Only twenty people?" Ji Zhen put down the chess piece, raised his head, revealing a rosy face.

Ji Zhen is now 75 years old, but he does not look old. Instead, he looks a bit like a child with white hair.

"Well, there are only twenty people!" Ji Hai said with his head down.

Ji Zhen stroked his snow-white beard and said, "Go and remind General Yang!"

Ji Hai frowned, "Master!"

Ji Zhen waved his hand, interrupting what he wanted to say, "Master, I understand your thoughts, but unfortunately, a Jade Dew Spirit Peach is far from enough for me!"

"Besides, we, the Hengdao Sect, have had a close relationship with General Yang over the years. If we take action at this time, wouldn't that be a violation of the code of conduct in the martial arts world?"

"You shouldn't have these thoughts!"

Ji Hai's expression froze, and he said ashamedly: "It was my disciple who was greedy!"

"Haha, I don't know your feelings yet!" Ji Zhen stood up and patted Ji Hai on the shoulder, "You are doing this for me too!"

The temptation of the Jade Dew Peaches is too great.

Even Ji Hai was tempted.

However, Ji Zhenbing was not tempted. As he said, one Jade Dew Peach was far from enough for him.

Even with this Jade Dew Peach, he cannot enter the innate realm.

Even without this Jade Dew Peach, he still had a chance to enter the innate realm.

To him, whether there are Jade Dew Peaches or not is just a change of one or two ten-thousandths, which is really not that big of a difference.

"Go ahead. I have a feeling that you will gain a lot from this timely help!" Ji Zhen said.

"Disciple obeys your command!" Ji Hai replied in a deep voice.
