Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were having dinner in the room. While eating, Cheng Jin asked curiously: "Brother, I don't think Lin Han had a premonition that he was going to be assassinated, but he was afraid of being caught in the crossfire, so he strengthened the guards."
"Yes!" Tang Yin agreed with Cheng Jin's statement. The county capital and the Qingyun Hall were neighbors and too close to each other. So many spiritual practitioners gathered outside the Qingyun Hall. Who could guarantee that they would not suddenly break into the county capital? If it were me, I would definitely strengthen the security inside and outside the palace.
"Brother, what kind of treasure is hidden in Qingyun Hall that has attracted so many rangers' attention? Judging from their attire, these rangers are not just from Ningguo, but also from other countries."
Tang Yin smiled, with contempt in his tone, and said: "What else can the rangers covet? Gold, silver, jewelry, magic weapons, or spiritual cultivation secrets!"
Cheng Jin wiped the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Brother, then we..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Don't interfere! What I want is Xiaoling County. No matter how precious the treasure is, it is not as important as the one from Xiaoling County."
Cheng Jin was speechless. Yes, what kind of treasure can be more important than land?
When the two were about to finish their meal, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
Cheng Jin just listened for a moment and said to Tang Yin: "Brother, it's Tianyan's brother."
"Let him come in. Oh, don't reveal my identity."
"Understood."
Cheng Jin stood up and opened the door. A young man in his early twenties, wearing cloth clothes and a felt hat, walked in quickly. He first closed the door tightly, then looked up at the small wooden sign hanging on the window, and finally his eyes fell on Cheng Jin, asking: "Your Excellency is..."
He took out a black token from his arms, handed it to the young man, and said: "Dark Arrow, Cheng Jin."
After hearing this, the young man shuddered, hurriedly took the token, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he knelt on his knees, raised the token with both hands, and said: "I am Wang Dong, I meet General Cheng!"
The Sky Eye, the Ground Network, and the Dark Arrow are all special functional agencies in Feng Country, but the status of the Dark Arrow is obviously higher than that of the Sky Eye and the Ground Network. In Feng Country, there is no object that the Dark Arrow cannot check, including the Sky Eye and the Ground Network, and the latter has no authority to check the Dark Arrow. Cheng Jin, as the person in charge of the Dark Arrow, is already a big figure for ordinary Sky Eye spies.
Not knowing why Cheng Jin appeared in Ningyang, the Sky Eye spies seemed nervous and scared.
"Brother, no need to be polite. Get up!" In front of others, Cheng Jin returned to his cold appearance. Although his tone was polite, people could still feel a hint of chill.
"Yes! General Cheng!" The young man named Wang Dong stood up and looked at Tang Yin, who was sitting in the room without moving, with a puzzled look on his face.
Cheng Jin did not explain much, but just said lightly: "One of us."
"Ah? Ah! Yes!" Since Cheng Jin said that the other party was one of us, there must be no problem.
Cheng Jin pulled Wang Dong to the table, asked him to sit down, and asked: "Have you eaten?"
"General, I have already eaten."
"Well, let me ask you a few questions."
"General, please speak."
"What's the matter with Qingyun Hall? Why are so many rangers gathered outside Qingyun Hall? Also, what treasures are hidden in Qingyun Hall?" Cheng Jin did not waste any extra words and asked directly.
Wang Dong took a deep breath and replied, "Qingyun Hall is a famous knight-errant sect in Ningguo. It is very powerful and is known as one of the three halls together with Guipiao Hall and Shengzun Hall. The treasure hidden in Qingyun Hall... is said to be Tianxiang Doukao. The knights gathered in Ningyang City also come for this treasure."
Cheng Jin frowned, subconsciously glanced at Tang Yin, and then asked, "Tianxiang Doukao? What the hell is that?"
Wang Dong grinned and said, "General, this treasure is not a ghost thing. It is said that Tianxiang Doukao has yin and yang. Eating one of them can prolong life, and eating the yin and yang can regenerate muscles and bones and bring the dead back to life!"
Puff! Tang Yin was drinking tea. Hearing this, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Little brother, you said those knights came for this thing?"
Although he didn't know Tang Yin's specific identity, he thought that he was not a small figure to be with Cheng Jin. Wang Dong did not dare to be disrespectful and answered respectfully, "Yes."
"Foolish, ignorant!" Tang Yin sneered. Birth, aging, illness and death are the cycle of heaven. What is resurrection is all nonsense. There is no such thing between heaven and earth.
Tang Yin did not believe it, but Wang Dong seemed to believe it. He said, "It has always been said that Tianxiang Doukou can bring back the dead. If it is false, how could so many people fight to the death to grab it? Since Qingyun Hall got this treasure, the rangers in the world have gathered in Ningyang. If it were not for Guipiao Hall and Shengzun Hall to assist Qingyun Hall with all their strength, Qingyun Hall would have been wiped out long ago. These days, every morning, you can see Qingyun Hall carrying corpses out. Those corpses are rangers who sneaked in at night to attack or steal."
Tang Yin still did not believe the rumors about Tianxiang Doukou, but he was secretly surprised by the strength of the three halls of Qingyun Hall, Guipiao Hall and Shengzun Hall. So many rangers, so many powerful spiritual practitioners, could not break through these three halls. It was incredible.
He murmured, "How could the Third Hall be so amazing?"
Wang Dong nodded and said, "The strength of Qingyun Hall is already good. With the trap of Guipiao Hall and the formation of Shengzun Hall, Qingyun Hall is now a dangerous place. There is no way out."
"Haha——"
Tang Yin laughed again and said to Cheng Jin, "If I hadn't been busy, I would really like to test the depth of the water in the third hall."
Cheng Jin was shocked and said quickly, "Brother, don't do that! You have to focus on the overall situation. The third hall is just a trivial matter."
"Humph!" Tang Yin sneered and said nothing more. He slowly picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.
Fearing that Tang Yin might be too competitive and really go to Qingyun Hall alone, Cheng Jin said proudly: "What about the three halls and the rangers? When my army arrives, the three halls will only become dead, and the rangers will only scatter like birds and beasts. Then, I will seize the Tianxiang cardamom, and then Big Brother will know whether the rumors are true or false."
Wang Dong was stunned when he heard it. It was planned that his army would come over. He was surprised by Cheng Jin's attitude towards Tang Yin. He was even more curious about Tang Yin's identity, but he didn't dare to ask more.
Tang Yin nodded. Cheng Jin was right. No matter how rampant and domineering the ranger sect was, it was completely vulnerable in front of the regular army. After the arrow formation, no matter how many people were alive, they would become dead.
He turned his eyes and looked at Wang Dong, asking, "What's going on in the county capital? Why is it so heavily guarded as if it were facing a great enemy?"
"Qingyun Hall is adjacent to the county capital. Such a big thing happened in Qingyun Hall. The county chief is afraid of being affected, so he has strengthened the guard of the mansion."
This coincided with Cheng Jin's guess. Tang Yin nodded and waved his hand and said, "Okay, these are the things we need to know. You can go back. Remember, you must not mention the meeting with us to anyone, understand?"
The invisible pressure revealed by Tang Yin made Wang Dong tremble. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Understood, sir." Not knowing Tang Yin's identity, he had to address him as sir.
"Well! Go!"
"I'll take my leave!" Wang Dong bowed deeply to Cheng Jin again, and then quickly left the room.
After he left, Tang Yin stood up, waved his hand to take down the wooden sign hanging on the window, and put it away again.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Cheng Jin asked.
Tang Yin pondered for a while, shrugged and smiled, and said: "It's a place of trouble, so let's not stay. Let's set off tomorrow and go to Liangzhou!"
Cheng Jin nodded in response, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is the king really not interested in Tianxiang Doukou? Resurrection... sounds very tempting."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said: "Resurrection is pure nonsense. There is no such miracle medicine in the world. Few people who believe in this have a good end." There are so many emperors in Chinese history who pursued the art of immortality, but no one has really become a living immortal. Instead, there are many people who poisoned themselves to death.
Seeing that Tang Yin sneered from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Jin said no more, walked to the bed, and said while helping Tang Yin to tidy up the quilt: "It's a long way to Liangzhou, big brother, go to bed early!"
"Yeah! You too." After traveling for days, Tang Yin was really tired. He waved to Cheng Jin, indicating that he should go back to his room to rest.
There were no other guards around Tang Yin, only Cheng Jin. He did not dare to leave, and sat cross-legged on the couch, saying: "I am not tired, I can just meditate and rest here."
Smiling calmly, Tang Yin did not force him, and lay on the bed, saying: "You meditate in the first half of the night, and I will meditate in the second half of the night."
Cheng Jin meditated to cultivate spiritual energy, while Tang Yin meditated, which was meditation, at most practicing breathing and regulating body functions.
From Ningyang to Liangzhou, not only do you have to pass through most of Xiaoling County, but you also have to cross Yunkou County. The journey is long, more than a thousand miles.
Starting from Liangzhou, continuing westward, the terrain becomes more and more rugged, and there are more checkpoints and fortresses.
Among them, the most eye-catching for Tang Yin is Wohu Pass. The terrain of Wohu Pass is unique. It is located in the west of Xiaoling County and meets Tongmen. There is a ditch between two mountains, and Wohu Pass is located in the center of the ditch, blocking the road tightly. If the army wants to continue to advance westward, it must capture this dangerous place.
Crouching Tiger Pass is as good as its name suggests, it really looks like a tiger lying in the middle of the road.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Crouching Tiger Pass is not large, it can only hold 20,000 people at most, and the wall is not high, probably barely 3 meters. Tang Yin made a rough estimate, based on his own combat power, if he did not care about the losses and attacked by force, the possibility of successfully conquering it was more than 80%.
