As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 716: Warcraft Clone

Although he comforted himself in this way, Yu Jin felt vaguely uneasy inside.

Jiang Ran called the girl out alone.

The girl said that her surname was not Yu but He, and her name was He Xiaoling. She said that her mother was kidnapped in the street because she was beautiful and Yu Jin killed her original husband.

Her mother was already pregnant at that time, but she didn't know it at the time. It was not until she gave birth to her and found that the child looked 70% like her husband that she burst into tears of joy.

Just to allow He Xiaoling to survive smoothly in the Yu family, they publicly said that she was Yu Jin's child, named Yu Xiaoling.

When He Xiaoling had enough memory and understood etiquette, her mother told her about her life story.

So to He Xiaoling, Yu Jin had no grace in raising her, only tortured and despised her. He was also a villain who killed her father and caused her mother unbearable pain. Therefore, she told Jiang Ran the secret she knew without hesitation, hoping to use the knife of Suling County to avenge him.

Jiang Ran felt that He Xiaoling looked timid, but was actually brave and resourceful.

She did not ask about He Xiaoling's life experience, but she told him everything. It was obvious that she had seen the situation in Jintang Town and the entire Zhuoli County clearly. She was worried that she and her mother, as descendants of the Yu family, would be killed, so she immediately surrendered and cut off ties with the Yu family.

Jiang Ran doesn't hate such smart people.

"You said you knew the secret hidden by Yu Jin, but how could an unpopular 'daughter' like you know such a secret? How can we believe you?" Tian Jing looked very scary holding the heavy sword.

"My friend told me."

Tian Jing: "Friends?"

He Xiaoling nodded timidly, looked around cautiously, put one hand to her lips and blew a crisp whistle.

After a while, a piece of bluestone floor made a slight cracking sound, and a blue rat-like monster popped its head out from the floor.

The green rat was very afraid of the faint terrifying aura in the cell. Its instinct as a monster made it realize that Jiang Ran was a very terrifying existence to it, but it was very worried about its friend, so it froze in place.

He Xiaoling saw the blue rat and noticed its fear, so she quickly picked it up with surprise and pity, "Rat, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This master won't hurt us."

Jiang Ran looked at the green mouse in front of her. It was two times smaller than an ordinary mouse, furry and very cute. There was a white gem the size of a fingernail embedded on its forehead. "Dream-loving mouse?"

He Xiaoling was confused and didn't know much. She only knew that Shushu was her best friend and that Shushu had some special abilities, but she didn't know what kind of magical beast this mouse was.

Dream-loving rats are very weak creatures when they are born, but they are very smart and can use a kind of mental spell called dream-capturing. They interfere with the dreams of sleeping creatures and spy on the dreamers' secrets from their dreams. Through this spell, they steal spells from other more powerful creatures.

Of course, dream-eating rats can generally only absorb the dreams of creatures with lower mental power than themselves. Once the dreamer finds something strange in the dream, he will wake up immediately.

The Dream-eating Technique and Jiang Ran's Soul-stealing Technique are similar in that they can both acquire memories, but Soul-stealing Technique itself is a spiritual power that tends to be aggressive.

But precisely because soul-stealing techniques are highly aggressive and can turn a person into a fool if one is not careful, and can only capture a very short-term memory of the target, Jiang Ran does not use it often.

"No wonder an unloved child has a higher level of cultivation than Yu Jin, and has even learned to hide his own strength. It seems that this dream-loving rat taught you all this."

He Xiaoling is also a spirit beast master, and the dream-eating rat is her contracted beast. This little girl is only about fourteen years old, but she has already reached the eighth level of spirit gathering. Her talent for cultivation is not low. I wonder how she compares to Hu Lian. Jiang Ran really feels a sense of appreciation for her talent.

He Xiaoling felt that Jiang Ran was praising her, and her face flushed with shyness. "Shu Shu will write down the sword skills, knife skills and cultivation techniques that they know from the cultivators in Rumeng Town, and then input them into my mind completely in the form of a dream." If there were no other masters in Jintang Town protecting Yu Jin, killing Yu Jin would definitely arouse Yu Wei's anger, and their mother had no way out, He Xiaoling would have killed Yu Jin long ago.

……

Jiang Ran learned four important pieces of information from He Xiaoling.

First, it was originally thought that Yu Jin had some backbone and still protected Zhuo Li's trump card even under the painful whipping. In fact, it was not the case. Yu Jin was put under a contract. Once he subjectively told Zhuo Li's secret, he would immediately backfire and die.

The second is the location of Yu Jin’s hidden private property.

It is said to be private property, but in fact it is stolen money obtained through corruption.

Tian Jing said, "No wonder when we entered the town government, there were only a few thousand crystals of property in the town. It turned out that this guy embezzled all of it."

As the army advanced, the self-disciplined Su Jun would not infringe on the innocent civilians, but he would not let go of the town's warehouses, the town government, and the military's property.

Tian Jing immediately sent people to find the property that Yu Jin had hidden.

After a while, a space ring placed in a velvet box appeared in front of Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran separated a strand of his mind and invaded the storage ring to erase the mental imprint left by Yu Jin.

Checking the valuables in the storage ring, Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows. This Yu Jin was truly an incredible corrupt official.

First of all, half of the food and grass was piled up in the ring. Roughly estimated, there were several thousand stones. If Yu Jin took the overall situation into consideration and boldly donated these food and grass to Zhuo Li's army, perhaps Jintang Town could be held for two more days.

In addition to food and grass, there are about 150,000 spirit crystals, hundreds of bottles of elixirs and about a hundred ordinary-level magic weapons in the space ring.

Such supplies are enough to support hundreds of elite soldiers. It seems that Yu Jin has some selfish motives.

After successfully obtaining Yu Jin's private property, the information provided by He Xiaoling became highly credible.

"Zhuoli County has a clone of a Dantian Realm demon beast. It is said that the ancestor of the Yu family once saved a Dantian Realm Red Lotus Ghost Jackal. In order to repay the ancestor of the Yu family, the Red Lotus Ghost Jackal gave him a clone of itself. However, this clone will dissipate after being used once. Zhuoli County will not use this clone unless it is absolutely necessary."

He Xiaoling hugged the Dream-Eating Rat tightly in her arms with some fear. To her, the Dantian Realm was as invincible as a god. Now that she told Suling County everything she knew, she had no way out.

"Also, the ancestor of the Yu family may still be alive."

……

"Su Ling will remember your contribution in providing important intelligence. You should take your mother and settle down in Jintang Town first."

Jiang Ran kept his promise and released He Xiaoling and her mother from the dungeon. He gave them some food and property for shelter, and found a house under the care of Su Jun for the mother and daughter to live in.

In addition, Zhuoli County had already abandoned hundreds of prisoners of war in the dungeon and was unwilling to spend money to redeem them. Now there was a shortage of food and Suling had no extra food supply. After a round of threats and inducements, those who were willing to surrender stayed and were incorporated into the temporary army.

For those who are unwilling to surrender, there is only one word: kill.
