The two places are less than forty miles apart, and the news travels very fast. Lu Qingan already knows that nearly 3,000 trees fell down in Blade Port and twelve ships were lost. Although they have all been docked, several ships have been docked.
The boat was still rolled to the shore and smashed into pieces.
Six hundred and ten people died, more than 2,100 people were injured, and countless warehouses, goods, and houses were destroyed. The combination of the ooze and the hurricane would make every manager miserable, not just Bailie.
In the past two days, Blade Port has been busy cleaning up after the disaster, and white cloths are often hung on the doors of houses in the streets and alleys.
It seemed that Blade Port's losses were much greater than Bailie's. Lu Zhensheng nodded, and he felt better after the comparison.
The Shipping Department of Blade Port City only foresaw the hurricane, but did not expect that the Emperor's Ooze would also come. They were caught off guard by a two-pronged approach.
At this time, the emperor's fluid doesn't look like Furui, but more like a disaster!
Or does Lu Qingan understand this Lao Tzu: "Father wants to ask about Yangshan Islands?"
This hurricane was also very powerful. It first landed head-on on the Yangshan Islands, and then slowly climbed onto the land. Fortunately, the landing point was not Blade Port, but dozens of miles away to the west.
The violent storm continued for two days, and the sky seemed to be leaking, and water was pouring down like crazy.
Judging from this path, the Yangshan Islands, which are facing the typhoon's landfall, should suffer the heaviest losses. With God's help, Lu Zhensheng hopes that the boy named He will be unlucky as soon as possible after this disaster. Besides, the Bailong people should also be able to
Are you taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble?
Oh yes, and those bounty hunters from Bega.
"He didn't have any involvement in the dozens of ships of the Asan Chamber of Commerce." Fortunately, they found someone to rush to deliver the news to Ding Zuodong. "Luck won't always be like this, right?"
"The current loss is unknown. After all, the news at sea is blocked, and it will take several days to be transmitted back to the land." Fire was rising in his throat again, and Lu Qing'an poured himself a cup of warm tea to quench his thirst. "But some businessmen lived on Sodin Island during the hurricane, and said
It is well built there, the boats are sheltered from the wind, and people can go ashore and have food, drink and shelter."
"Is the boy named He okay?"
"Probably not, otherwise they would hear about it."
Lu Zhensheng was also a little strange. I don’t know where Lao Yu went and he didn’t come back to report after the hurricane.
He had been very busy these days, and now that he was taking a break, he remembered that there was such a person.
Hmm, could it be...?
Probably not, he comforted himself, hurricanes are full of things.
But he was still deeply disappointed. Those Bailong people were really useless! No wonder they were hunted down by Yaguo for thousands of miles.
Before the hurricane, Lao Yu came back to send a message, saying that Uncle and Nephew Wanqi were willing to cooperate and would take action in the near future. At that time, Lu Zhensheng was very happy. After all, Uncle and Nephew Wanqi were famous for their fighting prowess, and they still had 600 elite soldiers.
It is the perfect "knife" for borrowing money to kill someone.
Unexpectedly, the hurricane and the Emperor's Liquid had passed, and He Lingchuan seemed to be safe and sound.
What a waste of such a good opportunity.
Lu Qing'an added: "On the day when the merchant ships and merchants left, the elixirs made from the emperor's slurry were still being sold on Sodin Island."
"What are you selling?" Lu Zhensheng couldn't believe his ears, "Say it again?"
"There are two kinds of elixirs refined from Emperor's Liquid, one thousand pills each." Lu Qing'an also found it incredible. "A few businessmen said that they took it on the spot and it was indeed effective, so they bought some to keep or resell."
"How much emperor's liquid has been collected from the Yangshan Islands and can be used to make elixirs and sell them?" Those with such ability are not from small forces.
Lu Zhensheng couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and walked around, "Has the businessman ever said what happened on the island?"
"I've said it. There's always a breeze on Sodin Island, and the hurricane has been blocked out, so it's much easier for them to collect the Emperor's Ooze." Otherwise, whether it's the Emperor's Ooze or the heavy rain, it would be blown away by the hurricane at the same time, and it would be difficult to hold it.
catch.
"The hurricane was blocked?" Lu Zhensheng nodded, "Barrier. The person named He also used the wind barrier."
There's nothing unusual about the barrier, it's used in their house, and not even a tile was blown off.
The question is, how big is the Yangshan Islands and how many scattered residential areas there are. Does the person named He have to install windbreak barriers in every place?
That’s a lot of expense!
"When the Emperor's Odor came, Sodin Island gave them containers and asked them to stand in the open space in front of the guest room, with the white line as the boundary. A group of guards were waiting with big sticks on the side. Anyone who crossed the line would be swung at them.
Bangzi, just knock him unconscious and lock him in the house without giving him a chance to catch the emperor."
"After defeating more than a dozen people in this way, the others became obedient and stood at the door to receive Emperor Liujian for the whole night."
"Distributing containers, with a white line as the boundary? Are you still sending people to wait? This is already prepared." Lu Zhensheng became suspicious after hearing this, "Do you remember that two days before the hurricane, someone came back from the Yangshan Islands and told us
…”
"Yes. At that time, He Lingchuan informed everyone that the Emperor's Liquid would arrive in a few days, and said that the archipelago has prepared all the medicine for refining the elixir. Those who are interested in refining the medicine can buy it the day after the Emperor's Liquid arrives. It is said that
People on the island are doubtful and are talking about it."
The spies sent by the Lu family were in the archipelago and heard about it, so they rushed back to report it.
When the Lu family father and son heard this, they were shocked.
They had a first-hand source of information, because Lu Qinglin obtained it from Mou Guo; Blade Port did not have it, so they suffered heavy losses.
Where did He Lingchuan get such important information?
Does this kid have any extra skills? Does he have the support of an expert behind him?
"No wonder Yangshan Islands purchased a large amount of medicinal materials in the past few days." Lu Qing'an's face was as dark as water, "Damn it, they avoided it again this time!"
"This kid has some skills, and his subordinates are all a patchwork of people. Emperor Liujian didn't lift the table for him to cause trouble that night? It's getting more and more wrong." Lu Zhensheng frowned, "Qing'an, we can't let this happen.
Kid, stand your ground or you will be in trouble later."
Lu Qingan nodded and suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, the third uncle and the sixth uncle have been in close business contact with He Lingchuan recently, and their relationship has become increasingly warm."
Reluo? Lu Zhensheng knows the temperaments of these two relatives best. Why Reluo? Isn’t he making money?
"Are these two guys hanging out with our opponents?" He was a little annoyed, "Are they not thinking clearly?"
Lu Qingan coughed lightly: "I asked my third uncle, and he said it was just a business transaction and nothing else was involved."
"I know, I will have a good chat with them!"
…
Early the next morning, Lu Zhensheng's first wife, Mrs. An, got up and washed herself. At the same time, she summoned green lotus seeds, red dates and millet porridge from the kitchen.
There are very few green lotus seeds in this season, but of course they are still available in Lufu. These freshly peeled tender lotus seeds open the spleen, moisturize and benefit the intestines and stomach. They can also improve skin elasticity and add luster to a woman's face.
However, the lotus seed porridge hasn't come yet, and the servants rush over to report:
"Suddenly there are seven more brocade boxes on Runtang's table!"
"What? Brocade box?" Mrs. An was confused, "Who put it there?"
Runtang is the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Lu Zhensheng, and is also the place where breakfast is often served. It is behind the second door and is never open to outsiders.
When someone brought a gift to Runtang, Mrs. An's first reaction was not happiness, but something strange.
The servant only claimed not to know, but the servant who kept watch last night had clearly checked the inside and outside and locked the door. But when the rooster crowed, he opened the door and went in to clean it, only to find a bunch of brocade boxes appearing out of thin air on the table.
That was the octagonal table where Mr. and Mrs. Lu Zhensheng ate.
When encountering such a strange thing, of course the slave did not dare to act rashly and quickly came to ask the mistress for instructions.
Mrs. An hurried to Runtang to take a look. Sure enough, there were seven square brocade boxes on the table. The outsides of the boxes were all wrapped in gold silk. Not only were they luxurious and magnificent, but they also had a rich aroma.
Huh? I even scented it before sending it to show how valuable it is.
Mrs. An was full of doubts and looked around a few times before asking her servants to come forward and open the box.
The origin of the box was unknown, and she did not dare to get her hands on it herself.
The servant opened a cloth bag and then opened the lid. He shouted "Ah" and was so frightened that he took three steps back!
"Human, human head!"
No need for him to say more, Mrs. An saw what was in the box:
A head.
The deceased was in his forties, with a distorted face and slightly open eyes. On this sunny morning, he perfectly explained what "lifelessness" means.
Mrs. An’s scream suddenly resounded throughout the Lu Mansion!
After half a stick of incense, Mr. Lu and his son were standing in the Run Hall.
"Father, who is this?" Lu Qingan didn't recognize the head, but he knew it must be related to his father, otherwise these boxes would not have been delivered to his house.
Lu Zhensheng turned pale and murmured: "Lao Yu! This is Lao Yu."
"Who?" Lu Qing'an had a bad feeling.
"Lao Yu is doing something for me." At this point, Lu Zhensheng had to tell the truth, "I sent him to contact the Bailong people."
This is the man he sent to contact Wanqi's uncle and nephew, and he is also the spy who has infiltrated the Yangshan Islands since Ding Zuodong first recruited people!
Lu Qingan pressed his eyebrows.
Lu Zhensheng said again: "The Bejia people want to deal with He Lingchuan, and I will send Lao Yu to take them to the island to join forces..."
Among Lu Zhensheng's men, Lao Yu is thoughtful, the best at disguise, and knows how to act according to circumstances.
What's more, the mission he performed was just to connect and persuade, not to personally assassinate He Lingchuan.
Therefore, even though Lao Yu didn't show up in the past few days, Lu Zhensheng didn't think anything big would happen to him.
Now he finally appears, but he is lying in the box sent by He Lingchuan!
"Bejia people?" Lu Qing'an interrupted his father, raising his voice three times, "Why didn't I know when it happened?"
"Just a few days ago, the night of the hurricane."
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Qingan's forehead, and he said in a harsh voice: "Open the other boxes!"
Several attendants boldly stepped forward and opened the remaining six brocade boxes.
Without exception, everything inside was filled with human heads.
Six pale white heads with different expressions and disheveled hair.
Mr. Lu and his son were silent for a long time.
Lu Qingan looked at his father: "Are these all your men?"
"Yes, they are the people I sent to the Yangshan Islands." Lu Zhensheng's throat was choked and he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, "He Lingchuan found them."
