Chapter 68 Talisman Mother
"Your fifth uncle has already made arrangements at the police station, so you don't need to go."
Yang Changhong shook his head slightly.
He had anticipated the current situation before holding the victory celebration banquet, and therefore had made the necessary arrangements in advance.
Regardless of whether Wen Han turns against him, he has a way to deal with it.
Although Yang Changhui was injured, he did not die.
Now that Police Chief Zhao Xingzhou has fled, the affairs of the police station have been handed over to Yang Changhui.
In other words, Yang Changhui is currently the unappointed police chief, and internal affairs are handled by him on the spur of the fact.
This situation will continue unless a new police chief is appointed.
Therefore, the police force is now under the control of the Yang family, which is also related to the fact that the Yang family took the initiative to resolve the troubles they encountered in the city before.
Once sufficient strength is demonstrated, even those who are wavering will be won over.
When Wen Han visited the injured Yang Changhui, she intentionally mentioned the position of police chief in an attempt to get Yang Changhui to take sides. However, with Yang Changhong's reminder, Yang Changhui decisively refused!
It was at the celebration banquet tonight that Wen Han directly confronted Yang Changhong about his stance, trying to force him to take sides.
Despite all the coercion and inducement, Yang Changhong still wouldn't budge, which is why Wen Han was so angry that she left the celebration banquet with a dark face.
"You should go back and rest for a while too!"
"If there's any commotion, someone will notify you immediately. Just come to the study, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
Yang Changhong glanced at the sky outside, rubbed his temples, and slowly said.
Since he went to Yunnan to seek help, he has not had a good rest, and the pressure on him has not lessened after he returned.
He didn't intend to leave the rest to Yang Jian; he would take care of it himself.
As long as he lives, he will provide shelter and protection for the Yang family.
"Yes, Father, don't work too late, take a rest!"
"Don't give up before the Yang family even faces any trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian asked with concern.
He noticed the fatigue on Yang Changhong's face and didn't delay any longer.
"Okay, go back now!"
Hearing Yang Jian's concern, Yang Changhong smiled and waved to Yang Jian.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian left the study and headed towards the west wing.
Before he returned to the west wing, he saw that the lights in the courtyard were still on.
Just as Yang Jian entered the courtyard, a beautiful figure ran out of the house and threw herself into his arms.
This person was Shen Nianxin, who had been waiting inside for Yang Jian to return.
"Second Master, are you alright?"
Shen Nianxin looked at Yang Jian carefully, her eyes showing worry.
The incessant roar of artillery fire today could be clearly heard even from the Yang residence, instilling fear in everyone.
Yang Jian went along with them, which made Shen Nianxin a little worried.
After all, such a loud noise is unsafe and could easily lead to injury.
"It's alright, I didn't lift a finger today, I just watched from the sidelines."
"If it weren't for the urgent matter of holding a victory celebration banquet, I would have come back long ago!"
Yang Jian put his arm around Shen Nianxin and said with a smile.
Today's capture of Caopeng District was entirely due to the actions of the Yunnan-Guizhou reinforcements; the forces within the city were merely watching from the sidelines.
It wasn't that the forces within the city didn't want to help, but rather that Dao Yin Wenhan forbade them from intervening, saying he wanted to show them the fighting strength of the Yunnan Dao reinforcements.
The forces within the city were all amazed by the fighting prowess of the Yunnan-Guizhou reinforcements, and at the victory banquet that evening, they all brought generous gifts.
When Dao Yin Wenhan left, these generous gifts were sent to the mansion where Wenhan was staying.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, the worry on Shen Nianxin's face disappeared.
She pulled Yang Jian into the house, poured him hot tea, and massaged him to relax his muscles.
Yang Jian enjoyed all of this without a care in the world.
At the victory celebration banquet, how could any young girls or noblewomen compare to the perfect soulmate before them?
After finishing the hot tea, Yang Jian pulled Shen Nianxin into his arms, feeling the warmth from the person beside him.
A short while later, the lights inside the room went out.
......
"Lady Fu, the provincial warlords are now using all their forces to encircle and annihilate us!"
"The Yunnan-Southern Circuit, Yunnan-Western Circuit, and Yunnan-Central Circuit have all deployed new-style troops. The men we sent over were unable to stop them, and now all these troops are converging on Yuning County."
"I estimate that we will soon be surrounded by enemies on all sides. At that time, our strength in Yuning County will not be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of so many troops."
At this moment, King Jiang Guan, the one in charge of the tally, was kneeling in front of a woman in palace attire wearing a white veil.
The woman in palace attire sat sideways, looking quite languid and seemingly posing no threat.
However, as Jiang Guan knelt down to report these events, his body trembled slightly, clearly terrified of the person before him.
Jiang Guan was also surprised that none of the people he had assigned to complete the tasks arranged by Fu's mother had actually done so.
In particular, he was most confident in having Princess Jiang personally take action and even arranged for General Tuo to go and help, but he still failed to stop her and General Tuo was seriously injured. It will take a long time for him to fully recover.
These losses are already considerable, but compared to these, the pressure from his mother is even greater.
If the mission is not completed, the Mother of Talismans will surely punish him, or worse, devour him directly.
Previously, there was a talisman king who failed to complete the task assigned by the talisman mother and was swallowed alive by her!
Once you've seen that scene, it's hard to forget it.
"The sacrificial ceremony in Yuning County cannot be stopped yet."
"You'll be in charge of this personally. Continue to delay for another week."
"If you still can't complete this task, then you too will enter the sacrificial array and become one of the offerings!"
The woman in palace attire still maintained a languid demeanor, speaking with an even more nonchalant air.
But the content of the words was terrifying.
"Yes, Lady Fu."
"Your subordinate will certainly complete the mission."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Guan, who was kneeling on one knee, was covered in sweat and quickly agreed.
If it wasn't swallowed directly by the Mother of Talismans, then there's still a chance.
Jiang Guan was a high and mighty figure in front of others, but in front of Fu Mu, he was insignificant and his life and death were not in his own hands.
From the moment he received the blessing from the Mother of Talismans, he was no longer himself.
Seeing that Fu Mu was no longer looking at him, Jiang wisely took the initiative to leave, not daring to disturb her.
"The fate of the Central Plains is not yet over."
"Continue setting up the sacrificial array; the backlash will be even stronger, attracting a siege from the celestial beings."
"After the matter in Yuning County is over, I will leave the Central Plains and go to Jiaozhi and Laos to take a look. The backlash there is not strong."
"I'll return to the Central Plains once I've regained my strength!"
The woman in palace attire glanced toward the Forbidden City.
In her eyes, streaks of light flashed, opening up a new world of vision that was on a completely different level from what ordinary people saw.
There was something she desperately desired in the direction of the Forbidden City, but she dared not approach it at this moment.
