Xue Chen nodded and continued to ask, "When did you and Zuo Ye meet?" ”

After Juyizhuang became famous in the rivers and lakes, Xue Chen had heard of the name Xu Zhanwen, and he could be so reused by Zuo Ye, presumably the two of them had a great relationship.

"General Zhenbei Thousand Commanders."

"Commander?" Xue Chen glanced at Zheng Yi and asked, "Have you heard of this person?" ”

When the Zhenbei generals were released, Xue Chen was still young and did not know anything about the affairs in the Zhenbei army.

Zheng Yi thought about it seriously, but still shook his head, "I only remember that the commander of the thousand commanders under General Zhenbei is surnamed Lin, and I have never heard the name Xu Zhanwen. ”

"What's your original name?" Thinking that Xu Zhanwen would not lie, Xue Chen simply opened his mouth directly and continued to ask.

"Lin Sheng."

"Lin Sheng, sure enough, it's him, before General Zhenbei was demoted, the morale in the army was disheartened, and no one would pay attention to the whereabouts of a thousand-commander, so it seems that of course he followed Zuo Ye to the north."

is really Zuo Ye's subordinate, and his ability to win people's hearts is also impressive.

"Do you know about Zuo Ye's cultivation of immortals?"

"Sacrifice of the living, alchemy of the living."

Xu Zhanwen spit out these words, Su Qiange was so frightened by these words that he took a few steps back, there was a living person in the Nadan furnace they saw that day, but she didn't smell the smell in the Nadan furnace, thinking that there must be a special way to remove the peculiar smell.

Xue Chen didn't expect Zuo Ye to be so frustrated, and he could come up with this method of human sacrifice, it seems that if this matter is not resolved, the people here will not be at peace.

"Zheng Yi, I'll go first, I'll leave it to you here." Xue Chen had already asked everything he wanted to know, and he didn't want to stay here anymore.

"Yes, Master Hou." Zheng Yi responded and watched Xue Chen and Su Qiange leave.

Su Qiange was dragged away by Xue Chen, and her mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and she hadn't woken up from the fright just now until she returned to the room.

"Ge'er, you're okay, I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have let you go with you." Xue Chen placed Su Qiange well, and when he saw that she still didn't speak, he regretted it a little at the moment.

"I'm fine." Su Qiange shook her head, she was more surprised than scared, she had only heard that the ancients were obsessed with cultivating immortals, and they had also tried their best to cultivate immortals, but she never thought that on the way to cultivate immortals, she would sacrifice living people.

"Don't think too much, I'll try my best to stop Zuo Ye's conspiracy, don't worry." Xue Chen knew that it was useless to talk more at this time, so he had to whisper a few words of comfort.

Su Qiange nodded in understanding, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Thinking that Zuo Ye had already known the news of the disappearance of Wrist Jade, within one day, there were several waves of people in black, but fortunately, the four obedients had prepared and repelled them all.

"Is there any news from Juyizhuang?" Xue Chen ordered the big guy to closely monitor the news of Juyizhuang, it was late at night at this time, and he thought that he had already learned about Xu Zhanwen's disappearance over there.

"Back to the Hou Ye, from this morning, Juyizhuang has been in chaos, and many people from the two masters have sent out, the welcome building and the county government, and they are surrounded by the people of Juyizhuang, thinking that they are here to find Xu Zhanwen."

"Is there anyone making trouble?" The county government and the welcome building are both prestigious places in Liao County, and the people of Juyizhuang really tried their best to find Xu Zhanwen.

"It's just around, and they don't act rashly, and they are still a little jealous." Although Juyizhuang is arrogant and domineering, but the Yingbin Building has strong financial resources and a number of guards, if the people of Juyizhuang do it in the Yingbin Building, they will only lose both.

"Arrange more people to go over, and if the people from Juyizhuang do it, they will immediately send someone to suppress it." Xue Chen was worried that he couldn't find a way to clear Juyizhuang, and if his people dared to offend in front of the county government or the welcome building this time, it would definitely hurt their vitality.

"Yes."

The army sent by the emperor was stationed outside Liao County as promised, and Xue Chen, who got the news, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, he would have enough manpower to deal with Zuo Ye, and if nothing else, he could send troops to set off at night.

"Zheng Yi, come in." Xue Chen put down the file in his hand and shouted.

Zheng Yi walked in when he heard the voice, "What's the matter with Master Hou?" ”

"Send troops to attack Zuoye tonight, you go down and prepare." Xue Chen handed over the strategic map in his hand to Zheng Yi and gave an order.

Zheng nodded in response, took the strategic map, turned around and walked out.

Xue Chen's troops were strong this time, and in order to attack Zuoye, he deliberately divided his troops into three routes, with one each of the big and two obedient people, to control Juyizhuang and Hezhuang, in case they sent troops to help.

"Xue Chen, send troops tonight?" Su Qiange had just prepared a meal for Xue Chen, and when he saw Zheng Yi leaving with the strategic map, he knew that Xue Chen should have made arrangements.

"Well, this matter is really too involved, I don't want the people to suffer, so I want to solve it quickly."

"I'll go too." Su Qiange picked up the conversation directly, last time she entered the village with Xue Chen to look for wrist jade, she also had experience, and I believe that this time she can help.

"No, you're waiting for me at home." Xue Chen refused without thinking about it, he took Su Qiange with him before, firstly, to facilitate the discovery of the wrist jade, and secondly, Zuo Ye's people had coveted Su Qiange for a long time, but this time, Zuo Ye was too late to protect himself, and he would definitely not send someone to trouble Su Qiange again.

"Why?" Su Qiange's face was full of puzzlement, "I also went last time, I will definitely help you this time, don't worry, I will definitely not cause trouble for you." ”

Xue Chen shook his head in denial, obviously disagreeing with Su Qiange's words.

"Ge'er, I'm not afraid that you will cause me trouble, this trip is dangerous, I must not take you to danger."

Su Qiange is not afraid of this danger, as long as Xue Chen is by her side, she can break into the Daoshan oil pot, not to mention, it is an unknown village that she has already been to once.

"Xue Chen, I want to go~" The reason didn't make sense, Su Qiange simply changed her tone, she thought that what Xue Chen couldn't stand the most was her soft voice.

"No, you can wait patiently at home for me to come back, and there is no need to discuss this matter." Who knew that this Xue Chen was soft and hard, even if Su Qiange had done his best, it would not have any effect at all.

"Xue Chen......" Su Qiange wanted to say something more, but the next step was taken into Xue Chen's arms and covered his mouth.

"Ge'er, if you are disobedient again, it will not be my hand that will block your mouth." Xue Chen threatened, and a light flashed in his eyes that made Su Qiange nervous.

"Okay, well, listen to you, listen to you." Where did Su Qiange dare to say a word, she blinked her eyes, full of words begging for mercy.

After all, Xue Chen has always done what he says, not to mention that this matter is still what Xue Chen has been looking forward to for a long time.

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Xue Chen put down his hand, but still took advantage of Su Qiange's inattention and left a kiss on her face, "This is the punishment for refuting me just now." ”

"Xue Chen, you bastard, you actually attacked me." Su Qiange was indignant, and raised his hand to beat Xue Chen, but he grabbed him and pulled him into his arms.

"Ge'er, wait for me at home with peace of mind." Xue Chen stared at Su Qiange's eyes, looking at the serious self in her eyes, hoping that she would listen to herself.

Su Qiange looked at Xue Chen as rare as he was so serious, and the last sign of trying to go with him in his heart was extinguished. "Don't worry, I'm not going."

"It's still my song that is the most obedient." Xue Chen nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and scratched Su Qiange's nose, obviously satisfied with her answer.

Su Qiange broke free from Xue Chen's arms with a disgusted face, and did not forget to frown at him to express his dissatisfaction, "Come on, let's eat quickly, it's going to be cold for a while." ”

"You feed me." Xue Chen leaned closer and opened his mouth.

Su Qiange sighed, although he was very reluctant, he still picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into Xue Chen's mouth, "Eat quickly, don't talk anymore." ”

"I want to eat again." Xue Chen just nodded, but he didn't mean to stop at all.

That night, Xue Chen's army had been assembled, and the team led by the eldest and second obedient had already set off in advance to Juyizhuang and Hezhuang, and the rest of the soldiers were all here.

The third obedient and the little obedient were ordered to stay at the post station to protect Su Qiange's safety, and at this time they were already hidden in the shadows, observing the movements around them.

Xue Chen looked at the time, and then explained to all the soldiers dressed in night clothes, "Today, we are bound to purge the people who are doing evil in this north, and this battle can only succeed and not fail." ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!" Xue Chen gave an order and led people towards the unknown small village.

With the lesson of the last time, Xue Chen simply asked people to go up the mountain directly with torches, and he sent troops to march to the village from all sides at the same time, and he was not afraid that he would be discovered by the people below the mountain.

"Butler, in another day, my elixir will be refined, if this immortal cultivation is successful, butler, you will be indispensable." At this time, Zuo Ye was discussing the matter of cultivating immortals with the housekeeper.

Because of his long-term addiction to cultivating immortals, Zuo Ye is not trim at all, his gray hair is draped on his shoulders at will, there is no blood on his face, and his plain white clothes have become wrinkled and dirty because he has not changed them for a long time.

Not only that, because there was a living person in the pill, Zuo Ye's body still had a slight fishy smell, and he didn't feel it, but the housekeeper sitting next to him could smell it clearly, but he didn't show discomfort at all, but seemed to enjoy this feeling very much.

"The master's words are serious, the villain is just finding some ways to cultivate immortals, and the mystery of this is completely realized by the master himself."

The housekeeper had a flattering face, thinking that it was because of this, coupled with the provision of the method of cultivating immortals, that Zuo Ye could be so pampered.

"If it weren't for your plan to let me sacrifice with a living person, how could I have thought of such a wonderful alchemy method, butler, I will definitely reward you well."

This housekeeper is actually just a private school gentleman in the surrounding small villages, because he has some knowledge and some fame in the village, but he loves vanity, is not satisfied with the support of the villagers, and tries his best to improve his financial resources and power.

Later, when he heard that General Zhenbei was exiled here, he was very interested in cultivating immortals, so he compiled some books and periodicals at home, saying that they were ancient books left by his ancestors and wanted to contribute them to General Zhenbei.

It was also because of this that Zuo Ye sent him to Wu Jingang's side, nominally asking him to assist Wu Jingang, but in fact it was just to let him find the herbs needed for cultivating immortals for himself in Hezhuang.

It's just that the art of cultivating immortals was compiled by the housekeeper at will, so naturally it had no effect, and later in order to gain a firm foothold beside Zuo Ye, the housekeeper said that the living person was used as a medicine guide, and the elixir refined was the best.

Zuo Ye had great trust in this housekeeper, so he didn't suspect it at all, and directly asked Xu Zhanwen to send people over and threw them into his Dan furnace.

"Master, you can become an immortal, it is the blessing of the villain, how dare the villain ask for credit." The housekeeper was just polite, but he secretly thought about how to go next, after all, if he refined some more living people, it might attract the attention of the above, and if someone investigates it, then he will be in danger.

"The housekeeper really won my heart, by the way, why haven't I seen Xu Zhanwen in the past two days, my alchemy furnace is almost out of medicine."
