Soldiers sent to Salt Mountain

Looking at the Jin Yiwei who fell in front of him, Lin Mang frowned.

Salt Mountain?

The branch of the White Lotus Sect is near Yanshan County.

Is there any connection between these two things?

Lin Mang pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "Send a team of Jinyi guards to go to Yanshan County to collect information first."

"Also, inform the prefect of Hejian Prefecture."

"Yes!" Tang Qi cupped his hands and quickly arranged for someone to ride away.

Lin Mang got on his horse and rode towards Qianhu.

…

He hurried back to Qianhu Office and asked someone to invite Qianhu Sun Chengye.

Sun Chengye quickly walked into the hall and asked doubtfully: "Master Lin, you are so anxious to find me, but what happened?"

Lin Mang said directly: "A Yanshan Jinyi guard just entered the city, saying that Yanshan was besieged and came to ask for help."

Sun Chengye's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Master Lin, do you know who is coming?"

"To be honest, Mr. Lin, from one hundred households in Yanshan, Sun Heng is my brother."

Lin Mang shook his head and said: "The visitor has passed out. I have sent someone to ask a doctor for treatment."

"and……"

"I suspect this matter has something to do with the White Lotus Sect."

Sun Chengye's pupils shrank, as if he thought of something, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that the White Lotus Sect is in Yanshan County?"

"Yes." Lin Mang nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I have been hiding this matter from you."

Sun Chengye hurriedly said: "Master Lin, there is no need to be like this. You and I are both Jin Yiwei, and I understand the rules."

"But the most urgent task now is to find out more about the situation in Yanshan."

Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to ask the Hejian Magistrate, and he still needs to come to discuss this matter."

After all, this happened in Hejian Prefecture, and he was the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.

Sun Chengye took a deep look at Lin Mang and said to himself: "It is really extraordinary to be valued by the governor."

His composure alone is beyond the reach of many young people.

…

Hejian Mansion, Dongcheng Villa.

In the room, Li Mingcheng was lying on the bed, and two slaves carefully applied the medicine.

"Hiss~" Li Mingcheng took a breath and cursed angrily: "Be gentle!"

"waste!"

At this moment, a figure in black robe suddenly walked outside the door.

The moment the black-robed figure approached, the two slaves who applied the medicine fainted.

Seeing the person coming, Li Mingcheng frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "Heiying, what are you doing here?"

Black Shadow, the leader of the secret guards around his father.

It's really rare that it's worthy of Black Shadow's personal dispatch.

"Young Master!" The visitor bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Master Marquis has a task for you."

Li Mingcheng simply closed his eyes and said casually: "What mission?"

His father has looked down on him since he was a child.

No matter what he does, he feels that he can't do it well. In his eyes, he is a waste.

Those people will always think that they are the sons of Wu Qinghou.

It's as if without this identity, he is nothing.

The black shadow said calmly: "Yanshan County has fallen. Master, you can lead the troops to rescue. This will be a great achievement."

"In addition, Lin Mang must die in Yanshan this time. Not only Lin Mang will die, but also the imperial guards who came with him will die."

"The Marquis has sent Xia Xueyi for you. You can ask him to take action if necessary."

Li Mingcheng opened his eyes sharply.

He suddenly laughed, with a strong sense of self-deprecation in his laughter, and chuckled: "We are all part of his plan, right?"

"If these Jin Yiwei are all dead, then Cheng Hongnian, who strongly recommended Lin Mang, cannot escape the blame. His real purpose is Cheng Hongnian, right?"

"No, it's not just Cheng Hongnian, but also people of his lineage."

Heiying did not answer the question, but said: "The Marquis said, Master, you should know what to do."

"You only need to destroy the group of horse bandits in Yanshan County, and it will be a great achievement."

Li Mingcheng's eyes burst out with unprecedented hatred, and he sneered: "Tell him!"

"I will definitely let Lin Mang die in Yanshan."

The black shadow bowed and then withdrew.

Li Mingcheng endured the severe pain and stood up, drew his sword and hacked the two slaves to death.

…

In the main hall of Qianhusuo.

The prefect of Hejian Prefecture hurried in from outside, sweating profusely.

Lin Mang took the opportunity to take a look at the Hejian Prefecture magistrate.

He has gained serious weight, and his large official uniform seems to be unable to accommodate his nearly 200 kilogram body.

But his pair of narrow eyes looked particularly shrewd.

He doesn't look like an official, but like a businessman.

Sun Chengye stood up and introduced: "Gao Zhifu, this is Lin Baihu from the capital."

Gao Mingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted heavily, and bowed his hands to Lin Mang: "I have met Mr. Lin."

Lin Mang stood up and returned the salute, then said: "Gao Zhifu, you must already know the situation. What do you think?"

Gao Mingyuan looked helpless: "Mr. Lin, Hejian Mansion's military strength is limited, and there are thousands of horse bandits. It is impossible to mobilize so many troops at one time."

When an army goes into battle, it is never about putting on armor and mounting weapons.

Logistics and baggage, these are all issues that need to be considered.

Although there is a guard army in Hejian Prefecture, they will definitely not be able to be mobilized for a while.

Lin Mang naturally knew this situation and asked instead: "I wonder how many troops Fucheng can mobilize?"

"Five hundred!" Gao Mingyuan sighed: "This is the maximum force that can be mobilized."

"enough!"

Lin Mang turned around and said: "Master Sun, could you please mobilize some of the Jinyi Guards in the city and rush to Yanshan with my Jinyi Guards first? We can have the troops from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the government soldiers come later."

If they were simple horse bandits, with the strength of the Jin Yiwei, one round trip would be enough to disperse them.

I am afraid that those horse bandits are not simple horse bandits, but people from the White Lotus Sect.

Just relying on these Jin Yiwei he leads, I am afraid that he will not be able to win a White Lotus Sect branch.

Sun Chengye thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with Mr. Lin."

The three of them discussed it and dispersed.

Outside Qianhusuo, the prefect Gao Mingshan boarded the carriage panting.

Inside the car, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"What was the situation and how did they plan it?"

In the corner, a man in black robes sat quietly, holding a long sword in his arms.

Gao Mingyuan took out his handkerchief, wiped his forehead gently, and chuckled: "It's just as expected."

"Then Lin Mang has decided to lead the Jin Yiwei to rush there first."

The man in black robe nodded slightly and said softly: "You should know what to do next, right?"

"Don't worry, I understand." Gao Mingyuan quickly smiled and said, "They can't leave alive."

The carriage slowly left Qianhusuo and rushed back to the government office.

…

In the martial arts training ground.

More than five hundred guards in royal robes stood astride their horses, looking stern.

No matter how dirty the current Jin Yiwei is, one thing cannot be changed.

The Jinyiwei are still the Jinyiwei, and they possess extremely strong combat power.

Tang Qi hurried over and whispered, "Sir, the banknotes donated by several aristocratic families have arrived, totaling three hundred thousand taels."

Lin Mang's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled.

He reached out to take the banknote and said silently: "Recharge!"

He pulled the reins and shouted: "Let's go!"
