Chapter 85: Understand the overall situation and take the initiative! (Subscribe)
Liang Qu entered the martial arts hall carrying large and small bags, mostly cakes, which attracted the attention of Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi.
They had only been gone for more than two hours, and yet the junior brother came back and brought them gifts?
"Brother Hu, Brother Xiang, Brother Lu, and Brother Xu, are they back yet?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Liang Qu pointed to the quiet room nearby. The two brothers understood what he meant and entered the secret room together. They closed the door and no sound from the outside could be heard.
Liang Qu put everything on the table and said quickly, "Someone came to see me just now and gave me something, but he smelled like a mountain ghost."
Xiang Changsong asked hurriedly: "Who is that person?"
"Zheng Xiang, the second housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion!"
"Zhao Mansion?"
Hu Qi frowned. He had an impression of the Zhao Mansion.
It can be said that he is the businessman with the largest business in the entire Pingyang Town. He has shops from Pingyang Town to Chaojiang County. His rise was very fast, and it seems that he developed within four or five years.
Mr. Zhao's third son, Zhao Xueyuan, was learning martial arts in their martial arts school. If I remember correctly, Zhao Xueyuan had not been there for a few days.
"When Zheng Xiang delivered something to me, he made a face at me. I don't know what that meant."
Xiang Changsong's imagination was full of ideas: "Could it be that the mountain ghost was raised by the Zhao family, and Zheng Xiang secretly discovered it and felt guilty?"
Hu Qi said: "Look at the things he sent. If he is fine, he would not come to contact Xiaojiu for no reason."
Everyone sat together and quickly opened the box.
Liang Qu took a box of pastries, slid open the lid, and papers fell out.
Xiang and Hu came over immediately.
Liang Qu unfolded the papers one by one and found that they were all land deeds and shop deeds, which were very valuable. A rough estimate was that they were worth at least a thousand taels of silver!
Not to mention Liang Qu, both of the two senior brothers were shocked.
“Why are they all title deeds?”
"How can a butler own so many shops?"
"It should be Zhao Hongyuan's idea."
"Hurry and see if there's anything else."
After searching for a while, they finally found a piece of paper covered with small handwriting, which started with the locations of seven places.
Next, Zhao Hongyuan narrated the whole story in his own words, including the strength of the envoy and the backup plan he left behind. The three of them became more and more surprised as they watched.
"Those shop deeds are worth two thousand three hundred taels of silver. I'll take them as my apology. Please forgive me, young gentlemen. We'll meet again someday."
Liang Qu looked through the text and saw a fat old man smiling and bowing to him. On the surface, he seemed to be friendly and making money, but inside he was sinister and cunning.
Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi were both silent.
I thought there would be a fierce battle in the end, but suddenly I found out that there was a traitor in the other camp who had been trying to escape for a long time, and he quickly packed up all the enemy intelligence and sent it to me.
After five years of forbearance, he accepted all the resources taught by the Ghost Mother and did all the work.
But after getting all the benefits, he kicked the other party away and ran away.
He even wanted to add insult to injury and destroy the Ghost Mother Cult's plan so that Dashun would not cause trouble for him.
How much courage does it take to do this?
"Is Zhao Hongyuan afraid that we will come to him later, so he specially sent so many shops here?"
Hu Qi crossed his arms: "Whether we give it to him or not, we can't find him. We can see this note, which proves that he left long ago."
Xiang Changsong frowned: "What should we do now? We can't believe everything on the paper. It might be a lie, or it might be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Whether they are lying to us or not, we will know when we go over to take a look. The most urgent thing is to find Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Xu as soon as possible. If it is true, we should kill the emissary and the contact person first. Without the emissary's urging, the mountain ghosts will not wake up in a short time. We can eliminate them one by one when the time comes."
"Then I will go find my brother now."
Huang Zejun walked into the courtyard and frowned.
He wanted to have dinner first before going to work, but he waited and waited but no one came to call him, so he wanted to get up and urge them to come. When he got out, he found that there were only some old women washing clothes in the courtyard, and the meal was not cooked. Zhao Hongyuan was a little too greedy.
It’s okay to take your wife and children with you, but why are you taking the servants with you? Can’t you keep it down?
He was quite sensible two days ago.
Huang Zejun rubbed his stomach and felt empty, but he didn't have time to ask the servants to light the fire and cook.
There was no time to wait for dinner, he had to hurry up and use a secret method to summon the mountain ghost and perform a blood sacrifice.
After so many years of development, Chinese medicine practitioners have not stood still and have already improved the Taizhudan to increase the blood and qi fusion rate and absorption rate.
Now, only five to six hundred strong men are needed to refine a Wolf Smoke Realm Fetal Pearl Pill.
Even mountain ghosts have been bred into different varieties. Under the influence of secret techniques, they can dig out the embryos themselves and hand them over to the controller, saving the trouble of having to dig them out one by one manually afterwards.
More than 300 mountain ghosts have been raised around Pingyang Town. Even after the largest one was taken away, there are still more than 200 left.
A mountain ghost can lay five to six eggs, which is enough to obtain two large wolf smoke pills, or a dozen small galloping horse pills.
Yaolong is a martial saint who can rule an entire country.
Zhen Xiang can be a general and can guard a prefecture.
Martial artists who reach the fourth level can receive imperial food.
Ben Ma and Langyan Wushu Master have become the backbone of the Chinese army.
There is a lack of young people in the church and new forces are urgently needed.
Two Wolf Smoke Embryo Pearl Pills represent two Wolf Smoke Warriors. Even if they have mental problems after taking them and fall into a blood dream dilemma, it is actually easier to control them.
There is absolutely no room for error.
Huang Zejun hurriedly walked through the corridor, around the screen wall, and reached out to push open the door.
A terrible feeling of palpitations suddenly enveloped Huang Zejun's body and mind, and small bumps instantly appeared on his skin all over his body.
Oops!
boom!
The red pillar exploded through the wooden door and hit his chest.
The surging force squeezed Huang Zejun's bones all over his body, making a heart-pounding cracking sound.
The front part of the pillar completely collapsed, carrying Huang Zejun with him, breaking through the screen wall and flying into the main house.
The carved wooden door was torn like a piece of paper, the huge main beam broke on the spot, the eaves of the entire main house tilted down, and the heavy tiles fell down and shattered.
All I could hear were screams of fear.
Lu Gang stepped over the threshold and stepped through the rolling dust.
Fine dust floated behind him, flowing along every curve of his clothes, pulling out long ribbons.
At the entrance, the hanging flower door collapsed without its pillars.
Pingyang Wharf.
The water surface shimmers, reflecting the starry sky.
An inconspicuous large black-sailed boat was docked on the shore. A man wearing a bamboo hat was holding a weed in his mouth and glancing at the moon in the sky from time to time. As the moon reached its zenith, he became more and more impatient.
We clearly agreed to take Zhao Hongyuan and his group away after dark, but we waited for a long time and they didn’t show up. What’s going on?
The population in the countryside is sparsely populated, and the fact that he came here in such a large black-sailed boat already attracted attention. The fact that he stayed on the shore for so long had already attracted many people's attention.
Wait another quarter of an hour. If you still can’t see him, I won’t wait any longer!
"Are you waiting for someone?"
"none of your business."
The man in the bamboo hat thought that he was just another villager looking for trouble, so he raised his head and was about to retort.
A flash of sword light passed by, illuminating his suddenly shrinking pupils.
