Chapter 166 They are coming
The moonlight was slightly chilly.
As the scout recounted the story, the expressions of the Green Scale Guards gradually became subtle.
Han Ying secretly glanced at the garrison commander of Xiyuan Town and found him to be calm, which made her feel a little uneasy.
This matter can be considered a big deal, or a small deal; it can also be considered a small deal, or a significant deal.
Everything depends on the garrison commander's decision.
Just as she was about to say a few words in defense of Ye Kangmei, the town guard of Xiyuan suddenly looked at her.
"Han Ying, do you think this Lord Ye is making a fool of himself?"
The latter shuddered and hesitated before saying, “Reporting to my lord, Han Ying and Lord Ye fought side by side. He is exceptionally courageous and upright. After defeating his opponent that day, he rushed to help me and another lord without stopping. I have no doubt about his character!”
"Interesting." Xi Yuan, the town's guard, smirked and took out his waist token, tossing it to Han Ying.
"Azure Scale Guards, heed my command!"
"exist!"
There were two seventh-rank, four sixth-rank, and four trainee Qinglin Guards present. They all clasped their hands in greeting, while dozens of masked figures stood in neat rows behind them, exuding a chilling aura.
As Xi Yuan walked towards the branch office, she casually said, "Everyone, listen to Han Ying's orders and fully cooperate with Lord Ye in investigating the case. Do what needs to be done, and kill what needs to be killed."
"Order!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the branch. Almost the instant the order was given, the head of the Poyang branch rushed out and met with two seventh-rank Qinglin Guards to discuss the operation.
At the same time, all the administrative staff in the branch worked overtime, and various files and intelligence were pulled out and sent out in a series of messages, and all the masked people who were not on missions were to be recalled.
The entire city of Poyang suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
The streetlights went out, and masked figures rushed in from all directions.
The Poyang branch was not located in a residential area, but on the easternmost edge of the city, near the dock, forming its own area, which was equivalent to a military camp.
Therefore, although the commotion was significant, it could temporarily conceal the truth from others.
Among them, some people with connections had already noticed something was wrong, such as Meng Bo, the son of the garrison commander of Poyang.
Meng Bo's father went to the Deep Water Zone with the Qinglin Guard and returned tonight, so Meng Bo is also near the branch.
When he saw the Azure Scale Guards suddenly move, and the masked men working non-stop, fully armed and on high alert, Meng Bo was dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! Who are they going to fight?! We just got back from a battle!"
Meng Bo's personal bodyguard also witnessed this scene and exclaimed in surprise, "What a grand display! Not only is no one resting, but more and more people are returning!"
"What a grand gesture! Which devil has angered the guardian of Xiyuan this time?"
Meng Bo was excited, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.
He loves watching this, and no matter who the Green Scale Guards are going to fight, he has to go and lend a hand.
However, after watching for a while, he still looked puzzled: "Where is Brother Ye? That guy can kill the Snowback Wolf single-handedly, and his combat strength is obviously higher than that of Lord Han and Lord Deng. Why doesn't he come over for this occasion?"
The guard shook his head and said, "They're probably on a mission."
Meng Bo nodded, not giving it much thought.
He had no idea that this occasion was orchestrated by his brother, Ye.
Soon, the night will be over, and dawn will be just an hour away.
The preparations at the Qinglin branch were almost complete. The civilian staff neatly stacked up the files and intelligence, and the senior officers discussed and finalized the action plan.
Then, Han Ying put on her cloak, mounted her horse, and held a torch high in her left hand.
"Let's go!"
Immediately, everyone shouted in unison, "Exterminate the demons and defend the righteous path!!!"
Immediately, groups of masked men raised torches and rode out of the city.
The sound of horses' hooves inevitably woke up nearby residents, and many opened their windows to peek out.
In the distance, the Azure Scale Guards had almost mobilized their entire force, a sight no less impressive than a battle!
The residents were immediately wide awake, and the news quickly spread to the inner city, waking countless people from their dreams as they pondered the purpose of Xiyuan Town's defense.
……
Meanwhile, at Jichuan Wharf.
Ye Kang was still in meditation.
His cultivation has improved too quickly, and it's time for him to stabilize it properly. Otherwise, an unstable foundation will affect his combat power after the breakthrough.
After practicing the Wolf Demon Transformation Light Technique, he opened the system panel.

[Remaining Comprehension:]
……
Ye Kang noticed that there was another item added to his panel.
"The divine weapon... should only be displayed after the Divine Martial Furnace is opened, but unfortunately it will take another day before it is opened."
Ye Kang was not in a hurry. He already had at least two divine weapons in the Moyu Ancient Treasure, so he didn't need any more.
Having been in the industry for so long, what I lacked at the beginning was comprehension, and what I still lack now is comprehension; I'm just too poor.
The Shadow Step technique needs to be mastered, not to mention there are so many other martial arts techniques that are eagerly awaiting development, and not a single Demon Blood Crystal is left. For the time being, body tempering can only rely on the Treasure Plant.
"Sigh, I'm out of rice."
Ye Kang shook his head repeatedly, a familiar sense of crisis enveloping him once again.
Just as he was getting anxious, a group of horses came running quickly from outside the dock.
Ye Kang opened his eyes and, with his exceptionally sharp eyesight, saw that the newcomer was Gao Weiwu once again.
During this time, some fishermen had already started setting out on their boats to catch the early morning catch. Upon seeing Gao Weiwu, the fishermen all lowered their bodies, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Without wasting any words, Gao Weiwu walked directly to the dock and gave Ye Kang on the ship an arrogant smile.
"Lord Ye, aren't you leaving yet?"
Ye Kang looked at him coldly and said, "What does Master Gao want to do now?"
"Hmph, Lord Ye, I suspect you are impersonating an official of the Imperial City Guard! According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, impersonating an official is a capital offense! If you don't repent and turn over a new leaf, I will have to act on behalf of Heaven to punish you!"
"Oh? What kind of 'acting on behalf of Heaven' method?"
"Of course, I'll take you first. I've already contacted the heroes of Mangshan. They are righteous and will definitely take action. Judging by the time, it's probably not far off."
Gao Weiwu was smug, and a confident smile crept onto his lips.
Having suffered such a great humiliation, he simply couldn't swallow his pride. So he went all out to hire the Mangshan bandits. Those people were ruthless and skilled, and even Instructor Chen Qian wasn't considered one of them.
With this group of ruthless thugs involved, he refused to believe they couldn't handle this young man!
Moreover, he had a legitimate reason for his actions, since no one could prove Ye Kang's identity. As long as they insisted that he was a fraud, they could easily catch him and give him a beating.
As long as they don't kill him, a couple of punches will do the trick.
His calculations were just right; in the distance, dawn was breaking.
The silence was broken by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.
Gao Weiwu was overjoyed: "They're here!"
