Chapter 55 So that’s it
"I'm here, I'm here!"

Without waiting for Hong Yinsheng to reply, Liang Yue hurriedly greeted him and came out.

"Are you okay?" Ling Yuanbao dismounted and came closer.

"Both of us brothers are fine. Today's incident... was actually a misunderstanding." Liang Yue said, looking up at the masked cavalrymen with sinister auras, "What is this?"

"I have taken a leave of absence today and am at home. Your sister found the Ministry of Justice and they helped to deliver a message. I was afraid of wasting time, so I brought my personal soldiers here directly." Ling Yuanbao explained.

Liang Yue looked around. These one hundred riders rushed all the way from the North City to the South City. It was estimated that the battle was huge and the commotion caused would not be small.

Don't let people think that there is another war?
"Is your home the East Sea God General's Mansion?" Liang Yue asked slowly, "Then you and God General Ling..."

Ling Yuanbao answered simply, "My father."

Okay.

No wonder she was able to become a detective at such a young age, right after joining the Ministry of Justice. Besides being a good fighter, it turns out she also has this connection.

Ling Sansi was once the youngest general in the Yin Dynasty and had always been highly praised by the court. He was the most likely person to succeed the military god Tang Wei in the future. Ling Yuanbao's background was truly unfathomable.

Apart from anything else, how could an ordinary person be allowed to keep so many fully armored personal soldiers in the city?

If an ordinary general dared to do this, he would have been scolded and destroyed long ago. Even if there was no suspicion of rebellion, he would definitely be accused of showing off his military power.

Liang Yue quickly recalled the content he had read in the letter before, the ambiguity between Ling Sansi and a certain woman on Huanshen Peak. He wanted to ask, "Are your parents still in a good relationship?" But after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Go back and burn the letter, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Xiao Liang." Hong Yinsheng stepped forward, his face uncertain. "I just invited your brother to come over to talk to my daughter. There's no need to make such a big fuss, right?"

He had already accepted the Xuanmen surprise attack just now, and now a large number of cavalry came to surround the mansion, and Boss Hong really couldn't hold it in.

Is it a rebellious act to invite my daughter's classmate back to talk to her and even go to her home to deliver a message?
If I didn’t know, I would have thought that my Longya Gang had violated the heavenly law.

"I was too nervous." Liang Yue smiled and said to Ling Yuanbao, "I'm really sorry for troubling so many of you."

"Hey, it's okay." Ling Yuanbao waved his hand, "My father is not at home anyway, so they stay here to protect me. Next time you have something, call me, and my people will still be there as soon as you say."

"I dare not." Liang Yue shook his head quickly.

I thought Ling Yuanbao at most brought a few experts from the Ministry of Justice. A team of cavalry crossing Tianjie in such a high-profile manner would be a major event that would alarm the court.

How dare I move again easily?

Fortunately, General Ling had just won a great victory in his eastern expedition to the Haiyue Kingdom, so such an incident should not cause him too much pressure.

He first expressed his gratitude and sent Ling Yuanbao and the personal soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion away before returning to face the disciples of Xuanmen.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I am really grateful that you came to help me so quickly." Liang Yue expressed his gratitude solemnly.

Shang Yunhai smiled and said, "Disciples of Xuan Sect are of the same blood. Since you have become Uncle Wang's disciple, you will be our fellow disciple from now on. We should help each other. There is no need to be so polite."

Liang Yue immediately said: "Thank you very much, senior brothers and sisters."

Xu Luzhi was delighted: "That's great, I can be a senior sister too."

"Don't forget to go to Yunzhiguan to practice." Wen Yifan just reminded calmly.

The young man in white, Li Mo, also said, "When you have a higher level of cultivation, you can also come to the Evil Slaying Division and become an immortal official with us. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Liang Yue nodded and said, "Definitely!"

He looked up again at the young man with a golden bow and silver arrow on the small building high above, and found that he had disappeared.

"Lin Fenghe has always been a master who can do anything he wants. Don't worry about him." Li Mo smiled and said, "He said that a master must do it from a high position."

Xu Luzhi chuckled and said, "It is said that when he was a child, his father would beat him whenever he got into trouble. Whenever he got beaten, he would climb up a tree or onto the roof to hide. Over time, he got used to being in high places."

Okay.

What kind of holy body is this that is born to cause trouble?

Liang Yue smiled secretly in his heart, and said at the same time: "Then please help me convey my gratitude."

……

Liang Yue sent away the young people who came to help, then walked over and said a few words to Hong Yinsheng, and then took his brother home.

Hong Yinsheng watched their backs go away, then waved his sleeves and said, "Go back."

When I walked back to the main hall, I saw that the whole house was full of holes and it looked like a new one was about to be built.

Those Xuanmen disciples were so ruthless when they attacked that they almost tore down the house in the first round of tests.

However, compared with the daughter of the general, it is hard to say who is more ruthless.

Soon, the hall masters who were away also rushed over with their men.

"Father!"

The first to arrive was the Tiger Hall Master, Hong Xi.

He was about thirty years old, a tall and sturdy young man, with a strong waist and sharp eyes. He rushed in with dozens of capable men and asked loudly, "Who did it?"

"It's okay." Hong Yinsheng just pressed his hand lightly and asked him to sit down.

But a moment later, Leopard Hall Master Bai Zhishan, Bear Hall Master Liu Hanyi, and Eagle Hall Master He Wuyang all rushed over upon hearing the news.

Hong Yinsheng asked everyone to sit down, and then he said, "There is a guard named Liang Yue stationed in Fukangfang. Have you heard of him?" "Huh?" Bai Zhishan, who was dressed as a middle-aged scholar, raised his head, exchanged glances with Hong Xi, and said, "When we were doing Linmen Street before, this guard was a little clever and repeatedly ruined our plans, so I handed him over to Hutang."

Hong Xi said: "I have sent my men to deal with him."

Hong Yinsheng asked slowly: "If you dealt with him, then who almost dealt with me today?"

"What?" everyone was surprised.

So the one who attacked Hong Mansion today was that guard?
"Even if he survived by chance, where did he get the courage?" Bai Zhishan asked doubtfully.

Hong Xi suddenly stood up and said, "Then I'll go and handle it again myself!"

"Sit down!" Hong Yinsheng shouted.

Hong Xi immediately sat down again.

Hong Yinsheng said: "Although he is just a small guard, he can mobilize the troops of the Evil Slaying Division and the East Sea God General's Mansion. His background is unfathomable. If you meet him in the future, remember to give him a wide berth."

Liang Yue's behavior just now clearly showed that he was extremely hostile to the Longya Gang, which was why he had so many behaviors. Hong Yinsheng thought about it and guessed that he might have had friction with his subordinates in the past.

As expected.

"This……"

Those sitting here are all well-known figures in South City. They never expected that they would hear such words as "avoid a guard" in this life.

But when these words came from Boss Hong's mouth, they had to believe it.

"I'll go check him out right now." Eagle Hall leader He Wuyang is nearly fifty years old. He looks of medium build and has an unremarkable appearance. He is just an ordinary old man.

But he has always been an expert at gathering information and is Boss Hong's most trusted spy. The tone of voice when speaking to him is different from that when speaking to others.

"That's what I meant, but remember to be secretive when you do things so that no one can find out," Hong Yinsheng warned.

The head of the Xiong Hall, Liu Hanyi, is a woman in her forties. Although she is middle-aged, she has delicate skin and bright eyes. She has long hair and wears a purple flowing skirt, which highlights her curvy figure.

After a conversation, she reminded him, "Boss, it's almost time to go meet Zhang Xingkai. All the matters in the south of the city need to be handed over to him. The higher-ups are pushing him very hard."

"Yes." Hong Yinsheng nodded, "I'll go see Yuling and then leave."

Everyone agreed, as they all knew that Hong Yinsheng loved his sixteen-year-old only daughter very much. If he hadn't doted on his daughter so much, this might not have happened today.

"By the way." After Hong Yinsheng stood up, he suddenly looked at Hong Xi and asked, "Have you been helping Young Master Lu with those things recently?"

"Uh..." Hong Xi paused and replied, "He has a request, and we can't refuse..."

Hong Yinsheng said coldly: "The Ministry of Industry has been in trouble recently. We are too deeply involved with them and cannot get away from them. We will definitely be targeted. This kid from the Lu family is a disaster. Stay away from him during this period."

"Yes!" Hong Xi responded heavily.

……

Hong Yinsheng walked to the backyard, to his daughter's room, and knocked on the door: "Yuling, can Dad come in?"

"Come in." A sweet reply came from inside.

Inside the gorgeous boudoir, a young girl in a goose yellow tasseled dress was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, comparing each piece of jewelry on her head. She was pretty, beautiful, and radiant.

"Are you feeling better?" Hong Yinsheng asked with a smile.

"Of course." Hong Yuling also laughed, "Liang Peng said that if I study hard, he will come to see me more often when he goes home."

"Is that boy so good?" Hong Yinsheng asked, "Is he worthy of my daughter's longing for him?"

He had completely lost the intimidating aura he had outside, and his voice was soft and gentle.

Hong Yuling lowered her head shyly. "Of course he is good. He is handsome, intelligent, and a good person. All the girls in our academy like him. You may not know that he looks gentle and refined, and he even fought for me before."

Hong Yinsheng asked: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes!" Hong Yuling nodded heavily. "At that time, Zhen Xiaohao, that annoying guy, didn't allow him to get close to me. He beat Zhen Xiaohao like a pig that day."

"He is quite courageous...Zhen Xiaohao is the son of Zhen Changzhi, the head of the Ministry of Industry?" Hong Yinsheng frowned suddenly, as if he remembered something. "How was the matter handled later?"

"At that time, I was also worried that they would retaliate against Liang Peng. Who knew that Zhen Xiaohao never dared to come to the academy again." Hong Yuling smiled, suddenly turned around, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I heard from a classmate who knows the inside story that Liang Peng is actually the illegitimate son of Liang Fuguo, the left prime minister of the current dynasty!"

"Oh?" Hong Yinsheng still smiled lightly, but his pupils tightened imperceptibly.

If he had heard such words before today, he would have definitely scorned them.

Liang Fuguo was a man of such stature that it was impossible for him to have such a bloody drama of having an illegitimate son living among the common people. Moreover, even if it was his illegitimate son, it was impossible for him to attend such an academy that only common people could attend.

He did not allow his daughter to go to those high-level academies with many children of officials because he was worried that his daughter would be bullied because of her family background. Anyway, he did not expect her to pass the imperial examination, and just wanted her to study simply, so he chose an ordinary academy close to home.

But such a thing happened today. He was wondering where such a powerful person from Wei came from that could attract the Zhuxie Division and the East China Sea God General's Mansion to come to the rescue.

Hearing his daughter say this, the doubts in his mind were immediately cleared up.

I see……

Although those people were called by the elder brother, the one who was really anxious to rescue should be the younger brother. This makes sense.

No wonder.

Hong Yinsheng smiled as if he knew the secret.
