Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Liang Jin sneered, "Since they want our lives, what's the point of considering who we can and cannot afford to offend?"

Miao Yuanzheng could only explain in detail: "The person behind Yang Jingye is related to the imperial family."

"He is the father of Consort Han, the Duke of Han."

It was customary in the Great Qian Dynasty that only the Empress's father could be called the Duke of the State.

And only the family of an Imperial Noble Consort qualified as relatives of the Emperor.

The families of ordinary consorts were not worthy of being the Emperor's relatives, they were merely his subjects, and even then, they were not qualified to enter the palace without special circumstances.

But this was not absolute.

It mainly depended on the Emperor's attitude.

Although the Duke of Han's official rank was quite high, it was only a nominal position without real power.

Because of his daughter, he had great influence in the officialdom.

Liang Jin sneered, "I thought he was the King of Heaven, but he's just a dog of the imperial family."

The best way to deal with being bitten by a dog is to kill it.

As he spoke, Liang Jin's main body, thousands of miles away, had already begun to use the [Thousand Mile Tracking] ability.

After entering "Yang Jingye's" name, the locations of all people with that name appeared on the map.

Miao Yuanzheng hesitated, "Great Teacher, we don't have evidence to prove that Yang Jingye is trying to harm you."

"Perhaps, the mastermind is someone else."

But Liang Jin's mind was already noticing something on the map.

A red dot was nearby.

The location was in the Taiyang County government office.

"Is there someone named Yang Jingye in the county government office?"

Liang Jin asked.

Miao Yuanzheng shook his head.

Recently, most of the people in the yamen had joined the Taiping Dao, so Miao Yuanzheng knew the situation in the yamen very well.

Liang Jin's eyes flashed with coldness: "In that case, I already have the evidence."

"Now, to the county government office."

Liang Jin lifted his leg and walked away.

Miao Yuanzheng was slightly puzzled.

What could he do by going to the county government office?

Report to the authorities?

Could reporting to a mere county magistrate deal with a big figure like Yang Jingye?

To report to the authorities, he would have to go to the prefecture at least.

Moreover, now that they were being targeted by the enemy, it was uncertain whether they could even reach the prefecture.

Miao Yuanzheng hurriedly followed Liang Jin and reminded him: "Great Teacher, I think what the assassin said was true."

"It is said that Yang Jingye has always been protected by a fifth-rank expert named Bao Chao!"

"Bao Chao was originally one of the elders of the Senluo Sect, a martial arts sect, and has been famous for more than ten years. The Senluo Sect has always worked for the Duke of Han, acting as his henchmen, and has a bad reputation in the martial world."

"But Bao Chao's martial arts are indeed powerful, known as the master of both blade and leg techniques. Later, he was recommended by the Duke of Han to become Yang Jingye's retainer and protect Yang Jingye's safety."

"If this person takes action, none of us in the Taiping Dao are his opponents."

"I suggest that you retreat to Giant Cow Village first and hide in the mountains. After things have calmed down, we can come out again."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin's main body immediately entered Bao Chao's name on the panel.

Soon, the relevant information popped up:

[Target: Bao Chao]

[Location: Taiyang County Government Office]

[Strength: Fifth Rank]

[Martial Arts: Black Fiend Saber (Seventh Level), Senluo Leg (Eighth Level), Spirit Crane Step (Seventh Level)]

Looking at the information, Liang Jin roughly knew that Bao Chao was indeed good at saber techniques and leg techniques, and the Spirit Crane Step was probably a lightness skill.

Especially since Bao Chao was also in the county government office, then everything was correct.

A fifth-rank martial artist was completely on another level compared to martial artists below the fifth rank.

Fifth rank was also a huge watershed among martial artists.

When a martial artist reached the fifth rank, they could release their inner force.

So-called palm winds, fist energies, sword qi, saber qi, etc., were all achieved through inner force to diversify and extend offense and defense.

Therefore, martial artists above the fifth rank could be considered true experts in the martial world.

"I also want to see how strong a fifth-rank expert is."

"Don't worry, the Yellow Heaven will punish these evildoers."

Liang Jin said gloomily.

Since the enemy had been plotting to harm him, Liang Jin would not let it go.

Liang Jin was not entirely sure about the fifth-rank expert.

But Yang Jingye, Liang Jin was determined to kill!

… … … … … …

County Government Office.

Qiu Zhuo and Yang Jingye were still chatting.

Yang Jingye sat and drank tea, while Qiu Zhuo still stood aside, respectfully replying.

While chatting, Qiu Zhuo couldn't help but secretly glance at the middle-aged man behind Yang Jingye.

The middle-aged man's temples were bulging high, and his whole person's aura was restrained but heavy.

He stood behind Yang Jingye, motionless, like a sculpture.

Whenever Qiu Zhuo approached him, he always felt a burst of fear.

This made Qiu Zhuo have to change his position, and he felt much more relaxed only when he was far away from this man.

Seeing this, Yang Jingye smiled lightly: "Look at you, haven't you seen anything like this before?"

"Mr. Bao is an elder of the Senluo Sect, a master of both blade and leg techniques, and a fifth-rank expert!"

"You are just a small official, and when you get close to him, you will naturally be intimidated by his aura."

"A person's courage is nothing more than martial arts, power, and wealth."

"After you are promoted, your power will increase, and your aura will naturally grow."

"At that time, even if you get close to Mr. Bao, you will not be affected by him."

Qiu Zhuo showed a teachable look and praised him repeatedly.

At the same time, he also did a salute to Bao Chao.

Bao Chao remained expressionless and did not return the salute, completely ignoring Qiu Zhuo.

But Qiu Zhuo didn't blame him.

The elder of the Senluo Sect, a fifth-rank expert, this kind of status really didn't need to take a small county magistrate like him seriously.

And even the elder of the Senluo Sect was arranged to be by Yang Jingye's side, which shows how much the Duke of Han valued Yang Jingye.

Now that he had Yang Jingye's guarantee, Qiu Zhuo knew that his promotion this time was roughly stable.

At this time.

Yang Jingye put down the ginseng tea in his hand and looked at the sky outside the house:

"Calculating the time, the Great Teacher should be dead by now."

"He only has a seventh-rank martial artist by his side, which can't protect his life at all."

"My deal can also start now."

"Qiu Zhuo, the matter of appeasing people's hearts after the death of that demon is left to you."

"If you do well, the position of Qingzhou Deputy Prefect is waiting for you."

Qiu Zhuo hurriedly nodded and thanked him.

If Yang Jingye said that the Great Teacher was dead, then the Great Teacher must be dead.

Over the years, in the entire Qingzhou, whoever Yang Jingye wanted to die could not live.

But Qiu Zhuo also knew very well that the death of the Great Teacher would probably cause a shock among the people.

Once he failed to appease the people's hearts and incite civil unrest, then he would be the scapegoat.

Yang Jingye would earn the money, and Qiu Zhuo would bear the blame.

But Qiu Zhuo didn't feel unwilling.

After all, wealth comes from risk. If he was afraid of taking risks when working for these big figures, then he would never want to be promoted in his life.

He just sighed that the Great Teacher died like this, it was a pity… …

Yang Jingye slowly stood up with the support of two maids:

"Alright, now it's time to go… …"

Before he could finish his words, a sudden downpour fell from the sky.

Crash!

In the small courtyard in front of the study, the flowers and plants were all beaten down by the raindrops.

Yang Jingye laughed: "It seems that even God is pitying me, pitying me for being too old, so before going out, He sent down a heavy rain to avoid getting my old bones wet."

Qiu Zhuo hurriedly wanted to flatter him.

Suddenly!

Qiu Zhuo only felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if something quickly moved past his ears.

When he looked intently, he saw that Bao Chao, who had been silent, had now protected Yang Jingye.

Bao Chao's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Someone has infiltrated the yamen and is approaching here."

"They are carrying killing intent!"
