Chapter 391 Return to Yangjia Village
Inside the Changqing Mountain, there is the Yuheng Star Hall.
Luo Jinsong was looking at the letter in his hand with a frown on his face.
Li Chengguo and Qian Zhonghe sat nearby and waited quietly.
After Luo Jinsong finished reading the letter, Li Chengguo stroked his long beard and asked, "What happened?"
"The headquarters asked us to kill Yang Zhengshan!" Luo Jinsong frowned and said in a low voice.
"Kill Yang Zhengshan?" Li Chengguo's face also became serious.
"Well, Shanhe Tower has a golden list reward, and the reward is a Jade Dew Peach!" Luo Jinsong said.
Qian Zhonghe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Jade Dew Peach? Who can be so generous?"
"I don't know, but I can be sure that there is something complicated behind this matter!" Luo Jinsong said.
Who is Yang Zhengshan?
The general of Chongshan Town, General Dingguo, commander of Tenglong Guard, and an important official of the court.
More importantly, Yang Zhengshan had just put down the rebellion in Chongshan Town and defeated the 80,000-strong Wuliang army, and was about to be awarded a title of nobility for his military exploits.
There are only two possibilities for killing Yang Zhengshan at this time, one is an external enemy, and the other is a fight in the court.
But no matter which possibility it is, Yuhengxingtang should not be involved.
Li Chengguo stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said, "Does the headquarters want to abandon us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Jinsong and Qian Zhonghe's faces changed drastically.
"Why do you say that, senior?" Luo Jinsong asked.
Li Chengguo sighed deeply, "If Yang Zhengshan died in our hands, do you think Yuhengxingtang would still exist?"
It's a very simple thing.
With Yang Zhengshan's current identity and status, if he died an unnatural death, the court would definitely avenge him, or at least find a scapegoat to calm the anger of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard soldiers.
If Yuhengxingtang could really kill Yang Zhengshan, then the imperial court would certainly destroy Yuhengxingtang, and Yuhengxingtang would be the best scapegoat.
After Luo Jinsong figured this out, his face became extremely ugly.
"Damn it! They actually want to abandon us?"
He felt betrayed.
Li Chengguo shook his head and said, "This is normal. To the headquarters, our value is not as high as a jade peach."
"But we provide the headquarters with 100,000 taels of silver every year!" Qian Zhonghe said indignantly.
"No matter how much silver you have, can it compare to a half-step innate warrior?" Li Chengguo said.
It would be an insult to use silver to measure a warrior who is half a step away from the innate realm.
How much silver is a half-step innate warrior worth?
There is really no accurate number.
Training a half-step innate warrior is not something that can be achieved by just having money.
And a Jade Dew Spirit Peach will definitely give birth to a half-step innate warrior.
The effect of the Jade Dew Peach is to condense a wisp of innate true Qi, and one of the necessary conditions to become a half-step innate is to be able to condense innate true Qi.
Therefore, a Jade Dew Spirit Peach represents a warrior who is half a step away from the innate realm.
Luo Jinsong had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The Xingyue Sect is not united internally, and there are many conflicts between the main hall and the Seven Stars Hall.
Although Qixingtang was forced to obey the orders of the headquarters due to its strong power, it did not mean that everyone in Qixingtang was willing to be driven by the headquarters all the time.
In fact, the Seven Stars Hall has been trying to break away from the Star Moon Sect, but everyone who has tried to break away from the Star Moon Sect has died.
Now there are only two options before Luo Jinsong. One option is to obey the orders of the headquarters and be willing to die for the headquarters. The second option is to choose to leave Xingyuemen.
Both paths are difficult to take and both carry the risk of death.
Luo Jinsong looked up at Li Chengguo, and Li Chengguo was also looking at him.
"Does the senior have anything to say?" Luo Jinsong asked.
Li Chengguo shook his head slightly, "I am already this old, there is nothing worth reminiscing about! Everything should be based on the Star Lord's wishes!"
Luo Jinsong nodded and looked at Qian Zhonghe again. Qian Zhonghe took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to follow the decision of the Star Lord!"
"Okay then, gather the people and we'll go out tomorrow!" A gleam of light flashed in Luo Jinsong's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.
……
The news of Yang Zhengshan's departure from Chongshan Pass spread, and many martial artists came to Jizhou, because Jizhou was the only way for Liaodong to enter Beijing. Some of them came for the Jade Dew Peaches, but most of them just wanted to join in the fun.
When the Jade Dew Peach appeared, most of the martial arts world was alarmed.
Yang Zhengshan suddenly became a well-known figure in the world.
News about Yang Zhengshan's achievements spread rapidly in the martial arts world, making Yang Zhengshan seem like he would become famous overnight.
At this time, Yang Zhengshan was unaware of the hustle and bustle in the world, and he was walking at a leisurely pace.
He even went back to Yangjia Village.
Although you don't have to pass through Yangjia Village when entering Beijing from Chongshan Pass, you can stop by Yangjia Village to take a look.
Counting the time, he hasn't returned to Yangjia Village for eleven years.
I left home when I was young and returned when I was old, my accent has not changed but my hair has turned grey. Children do not recognize me when they meet, they ask me where I come from with a smile.
Well, Yang Zhengshan didn’t leave home at a young age. He was almost forty when he left Yangjia Village.
When he stepped into Yangjia Village, no children asked him where he came from, because he entered Yangjia Village in the morning and the children in Yangjia Village were all studying in the clan school.
Of course, when Yang Zhengshan rode into Yangjia Village on horseback, many villagers in Yangjia Village looked at them in surprise.
A villager looked at Yang Zhengshan, was stunned at first, then rubbed his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Uncle Zhengshan!"
Yang Zhengshan stopped Hongyun and looked at the person who was speaking.
"Are you Mingguang?"
He said somewhat uncertainly.
Yang Mingguang's eyes suddenly widened, "It's really Uncle Zhengshan, Uncle Zhengshan is back!"
Then, Yang Mingguang ran away in surprise and joy. Yes, he ran away, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Zhengshan is back! Uncle Zhengshan is back!"
Yang Zhengshan looked at his back, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
This guy seems to be in his forties, why is he so rash?
He didn't have a deep impression of Yang Mingguang, he only remembered that Yang Mingguang used to live next door to their house.
Following Yang Mingguang's shouting, the entire Yangjia Village soon fell into noise.
"Uncle Zhengshan is back?"
"Where is Uncle Zhengshan?"
A large number of villagers ran out to ask around. Many of them had already seen Yang Zhengshan and came forward to greet him.
Yang Zhengshan responded to everyone happily.
This time he came back on a whim.
As the saying goes, if you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.
Since it was on the way, he also wanted to experience the feeling of returning home rich and powerful.
The people of Yangjia Village were naturally very enthusiastic towards him.
But in just a moment, he was surrounded by people in three layers.
Everyone greeted Yang Zhengshan at once, making him dizzy. He could only keep saying hello, um, not bad, not bad, and all kinds of meaningless words.
Fortunately, the savior arrived soon.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, everyone. Do you guys have so much free time?" Yang Zhengxiang shouted from outside the crowd.
Only then did everyone calm down and make way for Yang Zhengxiang.
When Yang Zhengxiang saw Yang Zhengshan, a smile suddenly appeared on his old face, "Zhengshan!"
"Clan leader!" Yang Zhengshan was somewhat helpless.
Everyone was so enthusiastic that he was almost overwhelmed.
"Haha, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Yang Zhengxiang laughed.
He really wanted Yang Zhengshan to come back and visit, but he also knew that Yang Zhengshan's current status was different and it would be difficult for him to find time to come back.
Today, Yang Zhengshan suddenly returned to Yangjia Village and gave him a big surprise.
