Zhang Yu waited for a while, and Xu Chengtong walked in from the outside. When he reached his seat, he bowed and said, "Patrol Protector, I've investigated that person thoroughly."
He took out a thick report from his astral bag and respectfully handed it over.
Zhang Yu took it and looked at it. This report was much more informative than the information in the jade talisman last time.
Last time, the information that the disciple sent over was not too clear, perhaps out of caution. However, this time, some details were added.
Just based on these, there was enough evidence to prove that this person was involved with Cao Kang and had participated in the murder of many Xuanxiu.
After he finished reading, he closed the report and said, "You've done your best, Attendant Xu."
Xu Chengtong quickly bowed and said in a slightly emotional tone, "You've given me a chance to redeem myself. If I still don't do my job diligently, I'll be letting my conscience down."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "You've worked hard, Attendant Xu. You can rest for a few days. Put aside the other matters that should be investigated and wait for my instructions."
Xu Chengtong's spirits were lifted. He knew that there must be something to do, so he hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'll be waiting for your instructions at any time." After he bowed, he respectfully retreated and walked away.
Zhang Yu looked at the report and looked into the distance. The flowers and trees in the courtyard were swaying, and the shadows of the trees were swaying below. Although the sparse and broken light spots were trying hard, they could not gather together. The luxuriant branches and leaves were growing, and they had already extended to the corridor and into the eaves.
He said indifferently, "It's time to trim them."
Zhengqing's line and his subordinates relied on the support of the upper realm powerhouses to repeatedly attack the talents of Xuanxiu.
This was because there were many handsome cultivators among Mystics who were not like true cultivators. They did not have any teachers, and they relied completely on their own strength. As a result, they could not resist the schemes of these people. This allowed these people to succeed time and time again, and now, they were even more unrestrained.
Thus, he'd already decided in his heart that he intended to make a move and capture the person Xu Cheng mentioned in the notice in order to deter these people and allow them to realize that there were some things that they couldn't do as they pleased.
However, this person was different from Cao Kang and Gao Zhiyin. He had a great reputation, and if he made a move, it would have a great impact. Therefore, he had to inform Xuanting in advance.
He took a pen and paper and wrote a letter. After sealing it, he put it in his sleeve. He then stood up and walked into the courtyard. A green light flashed outside his body. Then, a light flashed in the sky and disappeared without a trace.
Fifteen minutes later, in the northern region of Kui Constellation.
Zhang Yu descended from the sky and took out the Patrol Protector's seal. When the light shone on him, his entire body sank into the place where the document was presented. He took out the document that he had prepared beforehand and sent it forward, allowing it to fall into the jade wall in front of him.
However, this time, the young Daoist did not appear. Moreover, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
However, he knew very well that since no one came out to stop him, it meant that the other party had already tacitly agreed to this matter.
The news of Cao Kang and Gao Zhiyin's death would inevitably spread. Now, he needed a few people with enough weight to pacify Xuanxiu's resentment.
Because the document had already been presented, he did not stay here for long. He retreated from the place and rode on a conveyance light, returning to the manor once again.
After returning to his residence, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed in his residence for more than ten days to sense his surroundings.
At the beginning of the eighth month, a carriage arrived at the entrance of the manor. Wei Lingying and Jin Xiaobai walked down from it.
Qing Shu stood in the corridor and greeted them with a fist salute, "General Wei, Lady Jin."
Wei Lingying returned the greeting with a fist salute and said, "Young Master Qing Shu."
Qing Shu said, "Sir is aware of your arrival and is waiting for you in the main hall. Please feel free to go."
Wei Lingying expressed her gratitude. Jin Xiaobai also bowed and walked up the steps. After passing through the corridor door, they walked into the manor.
After passing through the corridor of the inner courtyard, the two walked into the open courtyard. Immediately, a fragrance assailed their nostrils. In front of them was a garden full of flowers and trees. The petals danced in the wind. Jin Xiaobai looked at the colorful scenery and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."
Wei Lingying could not help but say, "It is quite beautiful." She thought of the scenery she saw along the way and shook her head, "Ye Ya Province is still too desolate."
When Jin Xiaobai arrived here, he was influenced by the surrounding scenery and became more lively. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Uncle Wei said that the largest scale of conscription in Ye Ya Province is around five thousand people. It's not like the conscription here in Tanquan Province. There are tens of thousands of people, and they are divided into several conscriptions stationed in various provinces. "
There was no lack of envy in her voice. "I don't know when our Wei Family Army will be so large. Oh, if only Mr. Zhang is still willing to help us."
Wei Lingying laughed and patted her head, saying, "It's good enough that Mr. Zhang is willing to help us for a year. He's the Xuanting Patrol Officer. How can such a small pond accommodate Mr. Zhang?"
Jin Xiaobai sighed and became a little depressed. He said, "Even if we invite him to guard the town, he won't be as good as Mr. Zhang."
Wei Lingying shook her head.
As they spoke, the two walked to the front of the main hall. Qing Xi stood there and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Please come in. Sir is inside."
The two of them thanked her and walked up the steps. When they entered the hall, they saw Zhang Yu sitting behind the table. He was wearing a wide sky-blue Taoist robe. There seemed to be a layer of ethereal jade light around him, making him look like an immortal.
The two of them hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Yu nodded in return and said, "Please take a seat."
Wei Lingying and Jin Xiaobai thanked him and carefully sat down in the guest's seats. Qing Xi came over and offered each of them a cup.
Jin Xiaobai took it and said, "Thank you, Sister Qing Xi."
Qing Xi smiled gently at her.
Zhang Yu looked at Wei Lingying and said, "I invited Commander Wei here today because I had a one-year agreement with the Wei Family Army. Now that the time limit has passed, the agreement is annulled."
Although Wei Lingying was a little disappointed, she still pulled herself together and said, "This is reasonable. Our Wei Family Army is so lucky to have received Patrol Officer Zhang's protection for a year. Without Patrol Officer Zhang, the Wei Family Army would never be able to stand up again. As long as our Wei Family Army exists, we will never forget this kindness."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've heard that Commander Wei's wish is to move the Wei Family Army's encampment to Tanquan City?"
Wei Lingying was a little embarrassed and said, "This is also Lingying's wishful thinking."
Zhang Yu said, "It's not wishful thinking." He took out a document and pushed it forward on the table, saying, "This is the imperial letter I requested from Xuanting. As Xuanting's Patrol Officer, I can recruit a certain number of people for my use. I now have the intention to hire the Wei Family Army. If Commander Wei is willing, you can sign this letter."
Wei Lingying and Jin Xiaobai were startled and somewhat couldn't believe it. Then, their eyes revealed unconcealable surprise and excitement.
Jin Xiaobai asked excitedly and nervously, "Then, then after we accept the imperial letter, we will be considered Xuanting's people in the future?"
Zhang Yu said frankly, "As long as I am still Xuanting's Patrol Officer, the Wei Family Army can be considered a mercenary army under Xuanting. Even if I no longer hold this position, with this record, if Xuanting has any orders, they will consider you first."
Jin Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed Wei Lingying's arm and shook it, urging, "Sister Wei, what are you waiting for? Quickly, quickly agree."
Wei Lingying took a deep breath. She took the document and lightly drew her finger across it. Using her finger as a pen and her blood as ink, she signed her name.
Then, she cupped her fists at Zhang Yu and said with a Solemnly expression, "Thank you for your high regard, Patrol Officer. We, the Wei Family Army, will definitely cherish this opportunity."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since the Wei Family Army has been hired by me, it is no longer appropriate for you to stay in Ye Ya State. If you think it is okay, I can find a place for you outside Tanquan City as the Wei Family Army's base. But in the future, you will have to manage it yourselves."
Hearing this, Wei Lingying and Jin Xiaobai were especially happy. They bowed again with gratitude.
Zhang Yu explained a few more things to them and let them out. When the two walked out of the main hall and walked through the flower corridor full of petals, they still felt that it was unreal.
Jin Xiaobai suddenly grabbed Wei Lingying and shook her hard, saying, "Oh my god, is this real? Am I dreaming? Sister Wei, pat me, pat me. "
Wei Lingying said unhappily, "Stop fooling around. Since Mister Zhang thinks so highly of us, we have to do this well." She thought for a while and said, "After we go back, we will first deal with the property in Ye Ya State. Then, we will move the entire army here."
Jin Xiaobai was used to being the chief steward and was a little reluctant. He said pitifully, "Sister Wei, do we sell them all? The base was built by the old General. Why don't we leave some? "
Wei Lingying said firmly, "No, we will sell them all. Mister Zhang trusts us. We should also show our determination. Listen to me."
Jin Xiaobai seemed to have lost all his strength. He said in a low voice, "Okay."
At this time, Wei Lingying lightly patted her head and said, "Don't be so listless. Pull yourself together. When we reach Tanquan City, our Wei Clan Army will be like a fish entering the sea. Only then will we be able to grow stronger. In the future, you may not even be interested in a base."
After dealing with the Wei Family Army, Zhang Yu sat for a while. Then, he ordered Qing Xi to call Xu Chengtong over and said, "Deacon Xu, bring a few of your disciples and follow me."
Xu Chengtong immediately realized that Zhang Yu was going to make a move on that person. His eyes immediately lit up. For some reason, he was especially excited at this moment. He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Patrol Officer."
After he left, he immediately gathered his four disciples. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw that the white boat had already stopped there. Qing Shu was standing in front of the collapsed cabin door and waiting.
He walked forward with his disciples. Qing Shu cupped his fists and said, "Mister is already in the boat. Deacon Xu, please."
Xu Chengtong did not ignore him. He returned the greeting and walked into the boat.
Qing Shu waited for them to enter the boat. He nodded at Qing Xi, who was standing in the courtyard. Then, he turned around and walked into the cabin. The white boat's cabin door instantly closed and silently rose into the sky. With a flash of light, it broke through the sky and shot into the clouds.
