Chapter 170 The Cage

After the team of thousands of people entered the manor, there was no idea what happened in the manor, and the villagers walked out of the house one after another. They gathered together in groups of three or three, discussing what happened. How could so many officers and soldiers appear for no reason?

The owner of the manor was an old man in his sixties. After hearing that the army of King Lu Cheng Yaojin entered the manor, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He found a prison cloak from somewhere and found a rusty iron chain to carry it on. Then he came out of the house tremblingly, and knelt in front of Cheng Yaojin's horse with the help of the servants, saying, "Yang Gun, the former dynasty, met His Highness King Lu, but the sinner was only Yang Gun. Please don't be troubled by the people in the manor. The affairs of the sinner have nothing to do with the people of the manor..."

Cheng Yaojin had heard that there were officials living in seclusion in the village in the previous dynasty, but when he heard the man's name, he was still a little surprised. After looking up and down at the old man in front of him, he frowned and said, "Old guy, you are an official of the previous dynasty, and your surname is Yang. Can't you be a relative of the foolish lord Yang Guang?"

The old man smiled bitterly and replied: "The sinner was a cousin of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty who had not given his five-court. He was appointed as the title of Min'an Marquis in the puppet dynasty, but he had no actual position but just received an empty salary and money every year. Later, the sinner saw that Emperor Yang did not follow the people's wishes, so he abandoned the title and brought the whole family to open a wasteland here. Later, he recruited some disaster victims who fled to famine and farmed here. It took fifteen or sixteen years before the Juminzhuang today."

"Juminzhuang didn't expect that there was another Yang family in the previous dynasty. Old man, don't be afraid. I am not here to kill all your Yang clan. Hahaha..." The old man had already relieved his heart, but was scared by Cheng Yaojin's laughter without warning, so he raised his throat again. Fortunately, the prince quickly said the following words, which made Old Yang Gun's heart come back to his stomach: "I led my troops through this place, missed Sutou and then came to your farm to stay. Old man, you won't give me a face!"

"Your Highness is here in Juminzhuang. I can't invite you anyway. How could I turn you away?" Hearing that this group of people was not for him, Old Yangguen was a little better. While wiping his cold sweat, he shouted to his subordinates: "Why don't you go and kill pigs and sheep? Slaughter all the pigs and sheep in the farm. Go, call the women in the farm to stew meat and cook, open the wine cellar, and move the good wine inside out. It's rare that Your Highness, King Lu, personally visits our small Juminzhuang, just say that it's the New Year today..."

Seeing Lao Yangguen sweating coldly, Lao Cheng also felt relieved. Along the way, he and Guangxiao Guan Wuming discussed how to check the monsters in human skin. One way was to see if the person suspected was sweating. The monster wrapped the human skin around his body, but could not sweat out through the human skin. As long as the person could still sweat and bleeding, it could be determined that it had nothing to do with the monsters.

At the beginning, Cheng Yaojin's team was still guarding against these villagers at all times. However, it seemed that Lao Yanggu had started all of them. After a while, almost all the men and women on the village were sweating on their faces. Everyone was relieved. After Cheng Yaojin left the guards, he followed Lao Yanggu into the hall on the village.

Even so, Cheng Yaojin was still careful and placed most of the official troops outside the hall. If something unexpected happened, Lao Cheng would instantly rush to the official troops outside.

Such a farm cannot produce any good dishes. It is nothing more than chopping pigs and sheep into large pieces, cooked them in water and served them. However, Lao Yanggun was an official in the previous dynasty. After the meat was cooked, he selected the fine portion of lean meat and cut it into thin slices. He brought the dipping sauce to Cheng Yaojin and several envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Lao Cheng was used to the appetite of delicacies and seas, so he praised it after tasting a few chopsticks.

While the banquet was held in the hall, the wine and meat outside were also sent to the army. Because Cheng Yaojin ordered the king to drink, the soldiers just threw away their cheeks and ate meat, but no one went to touch the wine. After seeing this, Lao Yanggun hurriedly ordered people to cook tea to relieve the greasiness of the soldiers.

After eating and drinking, the officials and soldiers also showed fatigue. Originally, Lao Yang Gun planned to let them live in the houses of the villagers, but before he could say this, the soldiers set up tents in the courtyard outside the hall. Except for the guards and soldiers who were patrolling the night, the remaining officers and soldiers entered the tent and fell asleep.

Although the soldiers slept in the yard, Lao Yanggu still invited Cheng Yaojin to his bedroom. For the sake of this King Lu, His Highness, he specially changed into a brand new silk quilt, and even proposed to let his youngest daughter, who had just turned sixteen, come to serve. However, when Cheng Yaojin refused, the reason for Lao Cheng's rejection was also interesting: "Bah! Lao Yanggu, you want to take advantage of me, right? I slept with your girl, even your son-in-law. I'll let me call you dad and dream!"

Without Cheng Yaojin, he still didn't dare to rest here alone. He immediately pulled several envoys from the Tang Dynasty and the monks Guangxiao to the bedroom. Lao Cheng occupied a bed by himself, and the rest of the people were all working on the floor. However, this bedroom was not big, and so many people couldn't sleep even if they were working on the floor. Cheng Yaojin was the leader and stuffed several envoys from the Tang Dynasty under the bed, and then he forced himself to squeeze into a room to sleep.

Shortly after driving Old Yang Gun out, Cheng Yaojin's snoring came from the bedroom. Old Cheng has not had a good rest these days, and it is not easy to see the soft pillow of the fragrant couch and fall down and fall asleep.

After hearing King Lu's snoring, Old Yanggun was afraid of disturbing Cheng Yaojin's rest, so he tiptoed out of the place with his servants. He inspected the village and saw that the other soldiers who were standing guard and patrolling the night, almost all fell asleep. Then he took the servants around him to another larger yard in the farm.

After passing through the yard, Yang Gun left the servants to guard the door, and he himself pushed open the gate of the main hall and walked in. Although there was no light in the main hall, he looked at it with the moonlight of the full moon tonight, and three figures had already appeared in the main hall. Two of them were sitting on the Grand Master's chair, and another standing figure said to Lao Yang Gun: "How is it? Are they all in the cage?"

"There are 1,000 and 3 people under Cheng Yaojin, who have already been in the cage. They are just waiting for them to fall asleep and then take action." Old Yang Gun smiled and saluted to the two figures sitting on the Grand Master's chair, and then continued: "Report to the two masters, after another hour, wait until these people are asleep and then take action, so that they can't take care of each other. At that time, no matter which place is solved first, the other place will be a problem of time."

At this time, a figure sitting on the Grand Master's chair stood up. He stepped forward a few steps under the moonlight, and then the moonlight showed the appearance of the white-haired young man. After appearing, the young man smiled at Yang Gun and said, "No one would have thought that the previous dynasty Marquis Min'an would be my demon-refining disciple. Yang Gun, you can use the monsters in this sect. If you do it well, I will reward you with a demon body, so that you can take over the body and become a person who has survived for thousands of years. But if you let Kong Hai and Cheng Yaojin escape, all the people on your farm will be bait for the monsters."

"Yang Gun understand..." The old man wiped his cold sweat and continued, "Before dawn, the disciple must have brought Cheng Yaojin and Monk Konghai's head to meet his master..." After saying that, Old Yang Gun saluted to the white-haired young man again, and then carefully left the main hall.

After Yang Gun left, the man in black who was sitting on another master chair said to the white-haired young man: "Do you really believe that this old guy can end Kōkai without your help?"
