"Eldest Young Master, someone from the manor is looking for you. He looks to be in a hurry!"

Ling Zhang had just finished his orders with the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop in the morning, and this was the first time he had officially handled such an order, so he did not understand the details at all. He was so busy that he did not even have time to drink a mouthful of water.

Go back immediately? A guest visiting? Ling Zhang was startled. What kind of esteemed guest would be so anxious to see him again?

"When did the honorable guest arrive?" Ling Zhang asked.

The person replied: "I left the house at dawn. Before I went out, Master and Second Master were waiting at the door."

At such an early hour, what kind of esteemed guest would come to visit before dawn? Ye Zichen specially informed him to go back, and when he got home, it was already late … Is he actually going to live in the Ling Residence?

Not from the Tan Yang, but from outside the city?

He didn't know why, but Ling Zhang felt that he had become flustered. It was a very inappropriate dream to think of that morning …

Thinking further, it would definitely not be Yuwen Tong's.

"Okay, wait a moment, I will pack up and take Mao Mao back." Ling Zhang said.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage and go back, medicinal field's steward Zhou Quanfu suddenly ran over breathlessly: "Eldest Young Master, something has happened!"

Ling Zhang stopped moving and looked at Zhou Quanfu: "What happened?"

Zhou Quanfu had done everything meticulously and meticulously, the medicinal field had been under his control for a long time, and was experienced with all kinds of sudden situations.

Ling Zhang had a bad premonition.

"Some medicinal farmers have been captured by the State Guard." Zhou Quanfu said.

Indeed. Ling Zhang's face darkened, "When were they seized, what's the reason?"

"Just now, on the ground to the west of medicinal field. Normally, our medicine farmers would go to the wild forest's lagoon to draw water and irrigate the nearest section of the medicinal field. It has always been peaceful and peaceful for them, but today, people from the State Guard suddenly appeared, saying that the medicine farmers had trespassed into the State Guard's camp without permission and wanted to capture them and return them to the State Guard to be dealt with. " Zhou Quanfu said.

Ling Zhang frowned, Zhang Chong had secretly gone to request for expansion of the State Guard's base, but had not even reached the capital, and was already in such a rush?

But that wild forest doesn't even belong to the State Guard's encampment, what right do they have to capture him!

"What about them now?" Ling Zhang asked.

"They were just taken away, the medicinal farmers are all on foot, their speed was not fast, and they have not reached the State Guard encampment yet." Zhou Quanfu replied.

Ling Zhang looked at the person who had just arrived in the Palace, "There's an emergency over here, so we can't rush back right now. It's hard for you to go back and tell my grandfather and Second Uncle about it first."

His mission was to bring Ling Zhang back, but right now, what happened in medicinal field was also very urgent. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded his head and replied: "This little one will quickly return."

With that, the man got on his horse and quickly returned to the Tan Yang City.

Ling Zhang watched as the man left, his gaze cold.

It would take less than two hours to return to Tan Yang. It would take another hour to get back to the State Guard's encampment from there, so even if Second Uncle arrived, he would not make it in time.

The Patrol capturing someone must have been ordered by Zhang Chong, and Zhang Chong was going to deal with their Ling Family. If the Ling Family's people hadn't arrived, Zhang Chong probably wouldn't do anything to the medicine farmers.

Only, entering the State Guard Residence was not like staying at the Tan Yangzhou Palace. The State Guard Residence was Zhang Chong's place, and anything that happened inside would be determined by Zhang Chong, even if he died inside, the outside world might not even be able to know the truth.

If he did not catch him early, if he did not catch him late, he would have captured someone at medicinal field. If not for him, Ling Zhang would not have believed it.

Thinking about it, Ling Zhang became much calmer, and could not act rashly.

The best way was to save them before they were brought into the State Guard.

Ling Zhang looked at the direction of the State Guard's encampment, then suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhou Quanfu: "The people from Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop have just left, and their horse carriage is full of medicinal ingredients, so they won't be able to move quickly. Steward Zhou, get the horses to catch up, and ask them to stop, say that I have something that I need your help with."

"Eldest Young Master, are you thinking of …"

"The wild forest is not part of the State Guard's encampment, they just want to lure me over. Once I enter the State Guard's encampment, no matter what crime I want to commit, they will decide everything. Right now, I have to save Yao Nong before he is captured and sent to the State Guard's encampment. They were in the wrong for this matter and would definitely not want more people to know about it. At this point in time, they could only ask the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop s of the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop for a favor. " Ling Zhang said.

Zhou Quanfu's eyes lit up, "This subordinate understands, and will immediately have the people on the horses to chase after Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop's men."

Ling Zhang summoned the 12 guards and said to them: "Leave the 5 people here to take care of Mao Mao, the rest follow me."

"Yes." The guards quickly arranged their own people. Their speed was quite fast and their efficiency was very high.

This made Ling Zhang a little surprised, it seemed like he had resigning the nine people was not without rewards.

Ling Maomao didn't want to be kept behind, so he pulled Ling Zhang's hand: "Big brother, I'll go with you."

This time, Ling Zhang would not let Ling Maomao get away with it, and said with a straight face: "No, you stay here, and don't run around."

One of the good points about Ling Maomao was that he knew how to observe his big brother's expression. When he saw his big brother's stern face, he knew that he could not be willful this time. He let go of Ling Zhang's hand aggrievedly, "Alright, then, you must come back quickly."

Everyone's expression was very nervous. Ling Maomao also knew that the matter that Ling Zhang was going to take care of this time would definitely be troublesome, so he was also very nervous in his heart. ))

Ling Zhang understood his fear and nervousness. He raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Don't be afraid, Big Brother will come back soon."

Only then did Ling Maomao feel slightly more at ease.

Without further ado, he brought along the seven guards and rode off to chase after them.

Coincidentally, when he had caught up with the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop, the State Guard had also arrived along with his.

Ling Zhang rode his horse horizontally in the middle of the road and stopped his horse. The stallion let out a long cry and stopped steadily in the middle of the road, blocking Patrol's path, "Wait!"

Ling Zhang's sudden appearance caught the Patrol people off guard, causing the leader of the group to have a change in expression, "Audacious, how dare you block State Guard's way!"

Ling Zhang snorted coldly and dismounted from his horse. He first looked at the people of the Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop who had stopped by the side of the road and nodded towards them.

Chief Manager also nodded at him calmly. He glanced at State Guard's Patrol and the detained medicinal farmers, and roughly guessed what was going on. After thinking for a bit, he asked: "Ling childe, do you need my help?"

thanked him and said: "Thank you Chief Manager, I do not need to trouble you for now, please wait a moment and return to Tan Yang."

After hearing Ling Zhang's words, the Chief Manager seemed to have thought of something and said, "Then, this one will wait a little longer."

Hearing that, the expression on the Patrol's captain's face changed again, "How dare you! Who are you?! Why aren't you leaving with your men?"

How could the Chief Manager not see the guilt in this man's words? Thus, he did not pay any attention to him.

"You!" The captain of the Patrol was furious, "Men, chase them away."

"Wait!" Ling Zhang said coldly, "State Guard is truly mighty. For no reason at all, she seized the medicinal farmers of my medicinal field, and now she still wants to drive us out without reason. Why, since when did State Guard become like a bandit?"

"Impudent! You dare to speak such insults to the State Guard? Aren't you afraid that we'll capture you and ask for your punishment?" The Patrol said.

"What, you can't say it's a crime? Admit that for no reason at all, you have seized my family's medicine farmers? " Ling Zhang said.

"Nonsense!" The Patrol leader's face was already very unnatural, "He broke into the State Guard's camp, shouldn't we capture him?"

"Eldest Young Master save us, we were wrongly accused. We were only drawing water and watering medicinal field at the wild forest's side, and that place is still very far from State Guard's base. It's not State Guard's base at all!" The medicine farmer who was caught shouted loudly.

"At that time, there were still a lot of people in medicinal field who saw it. They can testify to it!"

"If that's the case, then we won't be trespassing into the State Guard's encampment. Everyone, shouldn't you release him now?" Ling Zhang said.

The people of Patrol looked at each other in panic. They were only ordered to capture someone, and in their hearts, they knew that this was not the vicinity of the encampment, so they couldn't help but feel guilty.

"If you have anything to say, speak to our commander in the State Guard encampment. If it's an injustice, the commander will administer justice." The Patrol said.

The reason he was still unwilling to let them go was clearly to force him to enter the State Guard encampment! The anger in Ling Zhang's heart flared up.

The Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop also slightly frowned his brows. Up to this point, he finally understood what was going on, "Everyone here in State Guard doesn't plan to be reasonable, are you not afraid of the people of Tan Yang scolding you?"

"Since this has nothing to do with you, then you should leave as soon as possible. Don't provoke any trouble." The Patrol said.

He did not intend to hide anything and directly ripped off his face.

Ling Zhang angrily sneered, that's right, this place was not the Prefecture Yamen, and there were no commoners watching them, as a Jiang Ji Medicinal Materials Shop was simply unable to bind them.

"Men, hurry to Tan Yang, I request that Lord Tao come forward to uphold justice." Ling Zhang said.

No matter what, he had to stall for time so that these people wouldn't bring the medicinal farmers back to the State Guard.

The expression of the captain of the Patrol started to turn ugly, "This matter does not concern Tao Feng."

"Is that so?" Suddenly, a cold and deep voice came from afar.

A person leaped out from behind Ling Zhang, he stepped on a tree branch and stroke its leaves, like a sharp sword going through the forest, he landed steadily in front of Ling Zhang.

A powerful aura suppressed the entire arena, shocking everyone.

Ling Zhang was stunned, looking at the big and sturdy back in front of him, he actually felt like he had never seen it before, this feeling made his fingertips constrict.

This person was standing too close to him. An extremely faint, strange, and cold fragrance seeped into his nose, quickly invading his internal organs, causing his spiritual altar to instantly clear up.

Ling Zhang could not help but shiver. Who was this person, why did he have the urge to turn around and escape?

"Who are you!" The people of Patrol aimed their weapons at the man that suddenly appeared, and became cautious.

"Forcefully detaining the citizens without reason, is this how Zhang Chong manages his subordinates? Looks like he doesn't want the position of State Guard Commander. "
