Overnight, heavy snow quietly covered most of the north.????
Lu Sheng walked out of the secret room. The outside was covered with white snow. The cold wind blew by in the early morning, causing the snow powder to fall off the pine trees in the yard.
He exhaled a long breath of hot air and heard the faint sound of children crying in the distance, as well as the roar of a big domestic dog and a rooster.
Several guards from the Red Whale Gang were guarding the door, and their bodies were actually covered with a thin layer of snow powder, and they were still motionless.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Sheng was in a good mood and looked at the guards on guard with appreciation.
"It's not hard to do your duty for the gang leader!!" Several people responded loudly and excitedly, as if they had been given blood.
Lu Sheng looked at the fanatical reverence in the eyes of several people, and he probably understood what kind of prestige he had among the Red Whale Gang.
Now senior brother Hong Mingzi has completely faded out of everyone's sight. He goes back and forth between the alchemy room of the pharmacy and his home with his friends every day, concentrating on studying something he doesn't know.
Deputy gang leader Chen Ying was injured before and is still recuperating. The only top leaders in the gang are some newly promoted foreign and internal affairs envoys.
"It seems that people's hearts can be used." Now that the cathode and the anode are balanced, Lu Sheng obviously feels that his mentality is less urgent and less slow, and he has a feeling of being in control of the overall situation.
The Yinhe Net in the cathode state still has the ability to transfer energy. This strange ability, similar to the Tao Heart Seed Demon, has no effect yet. He plans to try his best to choose the dead one among the gang once he finds benefits from Song Zhenguo.
Scholars, trained on a large scale.
"Where is Yulianzi now?" Lu Sheng asked again. "There is also Shang Qinglong, please call me here too."
"My subordinates will go and notify you immediately." A member of the gang bowed and retreated, then turned around and hurried away.
The road leads beyond the yard, and you stroll along the ship's side to the small garden on the upper level.
When they arrived at the entrance of the small garden, Yu Lianzi also hurried over. When he saw Lu Sheng, he was also a little stunned.
Others are not familiar with Lu Sheng, so they cannot see any big changes, but he is different. He has always been responsible for various trivial matters of Lu Sheng, and with his strong memory, he will never forget some details of the gang leader's appearance.
So the first time he saw Lu Sheng, he hesitated.
"Gang leader, what are you doing?"
Lu Sheng smiled: "I have gained a little bit in martial arts, so don't worry about it. Also, this is not a lie." He stretched out his hand and pulled the silk on his head and said with a smile.
Yu Lianzi nodded cautiously and looked at Lu Sheng's hair curiously. Since the gang leader said it was true, then he should treat it as real.
"I wonder why the gang leader called his subordinates down?"
"Two things. Give me the map of the treasure medicine locations I asked you to find before." Lu Sheng raised a finger and said.
"That's no problem." Yu Lianzi nodded.
"The second thing is, how many orphans have you collected before I asked you to collect them?" Lu Sheng said seriously.
"Well, there are already about a hundred of them. The world is difficult and there are many orphans. As long as they are given food, a large number of them can easily gather. We only selected more than a hundred people among them.
After all, there is not enough food, and raising too many people will be a burden on the gang." Yu Lianzi said in a low voice.
"Has the famine started?" Lu Sheng's heart trembled.
"Enyan Mountain City is okay, but in other nearby cities, food prices have risen in many places. Because no one dared to cultivate rice fields before, many people now sell their sons and daughters, just to have less food to eat." Yu Lianzi was quite helpless.
."Many elders in our gang have set up porridge farms, but they are useless and will only attract more hungry people.
If the gang leader wants to carefully train dead soldiers, I'm afraid he should think twice before doing so. With the current situation in the gang, training dead soldiers requires a lot of grain, oil, rice, noodles, and various meats and vegetables."
"I understand." Lu Sheng also had a headache. As the leader of the largest gang in the North, this famine problem was also a difficult problem that he had to consider. After all, so many people in the Red Whale Gang had to eat.
"Where is the main fishery?" Lu Sheng thought about it and asked again.
"The fishing season is about to close now. It's so cold and freezing that fishing boats can't get out of many places." Yulianzi replied. "The fishermen are also going crazy during this period. They can't even find anything in the river.
How much goods."
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and then asked: "Over at the pharmacy, we can sort out some herbs that grow quickly and select herbs with large tubers like yams, which can ward off famine for a while."
"Gang leader, you don't know that all this kind of stuff has been eaten up by the hungry people long ago, and now it's just mud and stones that no one eats." Yulianzi replied in a low voice.
"Forget it, bring me what I want, and do something for me. I have to go out." Lu Sheng frowned helplessly.
Zhongyuan, Rongxin Pass.
As the only pass on the way to the North, Rongxin Pass has tall walls and a large population, with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed here.
Watchtowers and fortresses are distributed all around, forming a larger network, blocking the passage to the Northland.
Ye Lingmo was sitting in the caravan, like the most ordinary Yuanwailang, looking up at the tall blue-gray city wall in the crowd.
"Master, you have to pass here and go through the other city gate on the opposite side before you can get on Yubei Road." Lao Suntou, who had experienced going to the Northland several times, whispered beside Ye Lingmo.
"In your opinion, how far is the journey?" Ye Lingmo asked in a low voice. While lining up to enter the city, he also carefully observed the surrounding situation.
"Sir, it will take about five days to reach Yanshan City. After all, Yanshan is a big city close to our Central Plains. But recently I heard that there is a famine there, and the security at this pass is probably even tighter. Our caravan cannot
It must be better." Old Suntou didn't know the identity of his master, so he just kept worrying about himself.
"It doesn't matter. I have the documents from above. It's not a big deal for us just to pass the customs." Looking at Rongxin Pass, Ye Lingmo also remembered the scene when he escaped from the Northland in embarrassment.
At that time, as the lord of the Juanren Mansion, he actually had his men killed in battle one after another, and was reduced to the point where he was surrounded and suppressed, adding insult to injury.
When he thought of the past, his eyes darkened and his heart boiled with anger.
"We still have five days to get there. I don't know what will happen there when I go back this time."
Lao Suntou said with a smile: "I have returned to my hometown in fine clothes. I will definitely be rich and wealthy when I go back, so that those people who looked down on others can see that you are living a good life now, very good! Isn't this what makes life interesting?"
He could see through it.
Ye Lingmo's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"That's right. Let those who have offended me before know that I, Ye Lingmo, am back."
"Sir, do you still have enemies in the North?" Old Suntou asked cautiously.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few old friends who don't have eyesight." Ye Lingmo said with a smile. His smile was very similar to Xiao Hongye's, both were very gentle, with the smell of a knife hidden in his smile.
"That's good, that's good." Old Suntou felt that this old man seemed a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
It stands to reason that returning home in fine clothes, rich and golden clothes, shouldn't you be high-spirited and happy when you go back?
Why does my Mr. Ye have such a strange look on his face?
Naturally, Ye Lingmo would not talk too much to ordinary people. He just stayed in the caravan for a while and then went back to rest in his carriage.
Also sitting in the car was a big man with a red beard and a lot of pigtails on his head. The big man had a rough face, and he was holding a pig's trotter in his hand and chewing it.
"Brother, how's it going? Did I have any ulterior motives in sending you here?"
The old man he was talking about was King Wuyou. When the Mansion was destroyed, only the two of them escaped and fled all the way to the Central Plains to be able to breathe. Although they were taken in by Wuyou Mansion, they were treated differently.
Not very good. He has made a lot of great contributions, but still
This person is also Ye Lingmo’s right-hand man, the red ghost Zhou He. His cultivation level is at least the peak of the Seven Marks. He served as the deputy palace master in the Juanren Mansion. He is the only person in the Juanren Mansion who still follows Ye Lingmo.
.
"There is no other meaning. Wuyou Mansion is now in a state of chaos and chaos. King Wuyou's deadline is approaching and he is becoming more and more impatient. He no longer cares whether we are sincerely working for him." Ye Lingmo said lightly.
"Then we really want to honestly investigate the disappearance of the officiant for him?" Red Ghost Zhou He said dissatisfied. "Brother, you are on the same level as him, why can he command you at will? He really thinks that you are his subordinate.
Can I be sent as I please without any benefit?"
"Be careful." Ye Lingmo narrowed his eyes. "King Wuyou is not an ordinary person."
"Is it possible that he can break through the limit and enter a new level? This has already happened, right?" the red ghost asked indifferently.
"There's no such thing as a breakthrough, but even if he's in this state now, I'm still not sure." Ye Lingmo's expression remained unchanged. "You just need to know that you should say less about certain things. He is almost driven crazy right now.
"
The big man sneered disdainfully.
"When I break through the Black Snake, you and I will join forces and we will definitely make him look good!"
Ye Lingmo smiled: "Let's not mention these things. This time we are heading to the Northland. We will first get on the line with Hongfang to understand the details and then decide how to act.
We don't know if the influence of the original Red Dragon Tribulation still remains. If the situation is favorable, you can regroup with our original subordinates.
Now that our identities are different, those aristocratic families can no longer attack us.
As long as we solve the problem of the chief priest and take advantage of this opportunity to obtain resources, it will also be a good time for us to rebuild the mountain."
"Joining forces with Hongfang, right? Got it, big brother!" Zhou He, the red ghost, tore off a large piece of meat from the pig's trotters.
"Shangyang family, Zhen family, especially the girl from Shangyang Jiuli, is also along the mountain. I really want to eat her in one go and see how the Shangyang family reacts." Ye Lingmo said with a smile.
With his strength, he would be basically unstoppable when he stepped into today's Northland. With the aristocratic families evacuated and the territory empty, he was basically unstoppable.
Isn't this the best opportunity to rebuild the Juanren Mansion?
As long as this errand can be done beautifully and King Wuyou has nothing to say, then it will be natural for him to apply to suppress the Northland, stick to a corner and get resources.
