Chapter 174: Challenge
As soon as he woke up, Lin Yumeng only felt wet and soaked, and immediately jumped up from the bed and rushed into the small room to take a bath, sitting in the iron bucket, Lin Yumeng thought about the problem while washing, the news of Qian Tong's return was very good, and with the cooperation of Qian Cai, he had won the market in Wucheng, and the next thing was to march to other cities.
It's just that now the army is in chaos, and there is no strength to back up the investment, but I am afraid that it will be very dangerous, after all, people are excited, bandits and robbers are rampant, they rush into the city to kill and rob a pass, and after grabbing it, pat their butts and leave, you don't break them.
Even if the losses are recovered in the end, the losses of his subordinates cannot be recovered, and talents in any era are the key to victory, Lin Yumeng doesn't want the talents he has cultivated with Lin Qingxuan to pass away like this.
Thinking of his brother, Lin Yu dreamed, the secret realm of the sand sea was about to open, I don't know how much my brother's strength will grow after coming out this time, whether he was injured, whether Sun Youdao and the others died, if they didn't die, Lin Yumeng wouldn't mind killing again.
Just when Lin Yumeng was thinking wildly, Lotus knocked on the door and walked in, shouting, "Miss, are you awake?"
Lin Yumeng raised his voice and replied: "Get up, is there something wrong?"
As soon as the lotus heard that the sound came from the bathroom, she pulled her sleeves and walked to the bathroom, saying as she walked, "The money has just come, saying that there is important news to report to you." ”
Oh, Lin Yumeng answered, saying that he knew, and before Lin Yumeng could get up, the lotus had already walked in, and came to the iron bucket with a familiar car, and said, "Miss, have you washed it?" Do you want me to help you massage?"
"No need," Lin Yumeng waved his hand, saying that the money had just come, so how embarrassed to continue to enjoy it.
The lotus flower was not surprised, picked up a towel to help Lin Yumeng wipe her body, and quietly looked at Lin Yumeng while wiping.
Huh? Lin Yumeng sighed in his heart, feeling that today's lotus flowers are weird, where is the blame Lin Yumeng can't say, anyway, it is weird, so he waved away the lotus, wiped it himself, put on his clothes and walked out.
As he walked, he said to the lotus: "I've worked hard for you in the past two days, and your strength is still improving a little slower, so go and cultivate, you don't have to follow me." ”
"Miss, do you dislike me? The lotus flower is useless, let the young lady down, please don't drive the lotus away, okay?" the lotus suddenly knelt down and begged.
Lin Yumeng's eyes widened, and he looked at the lotus again, the lotus in front of him was his little maid, yes, but how could the lotus kneel down for such a sentence, something was wrong! Lin Yumeng muttered to himself in his heart.
The lotus flower was a little weak by Lin Yumeng, quietly lowered her head, knelt on the ground and continued to plead.
"I don't dislike you, but you haven't been quiet for a few days to cultivate, so let's go into retreat, I'll stay in the academy for the next few days, and I don't need anyone around to serve me. Lin Yumeng explained in a good voice.
"Miss. Lotus had tears in her eyes, and she looked unwilling to cultivate.
Lin Yumeng didn't speak, quietly looked at the lotus, and finally the lotus couldn't stand Lin Yumeng's eyes, so she had to wipe her tears and walk towards the secret room, Lin Yumeng's eyes kept chasing the background of the lotus until the lotus disappeared from sight.
When he came to the hall, Qian Cai was already waiting there, and when he saw Lin Yumeng coming in, he immediately greeted him and saluted Lin Yumeng, and then retreated to the side.
"What news are you in a hurry to report?" Lin Yumeng asked Qian Cai after sitting down.
Qian Cai took a step forward and replied: "The people you asked me to check have been investigated, they have been in frequent contact recently, what big moves should there be, I want to ask your opinion, are these people killing or continuing to stare at them?"
Lin Yumeng tapped on the table, thought for a while, and then said, "Don't kill, keep staring, their frequent contact should be related to Nanwu Kingdom." By the way, what's the recent situation in Nanyue Country?"
Qian Cai heard the three words of Nanyue Kingdom, and said with a bitter smile: "The general trend of Nanyue Kingdom has gone, the main members of the royal family have gone to seven or eight, and the generals who led the army abroad have also been killed and injured, and a large part of them have surrendered to Nanwu Kingdom." ”
"If nothing else, Nanwu Kingdom will be able to defeat Nanyue Kingdom in the next few days, but I'm afraid that Wucheng will not be peaceful at that time, I don't know what Miss has on this matter. ”
Lin Yumeng nodded, he couldn't imagine that the killer organization was moving so fast, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses have you recruited now?"
Qian Cai arched his hand and said: "Ordinary soldiers and horses have recruited 400,000, and they are currently assembled on the periphery of the dark forest outside the dark city, and the elite soldiers have recruited 100,000, these people are soldiers and horses who have escaped from the battlefield, and they are unwilling to surrender, so they fled back." ”
Lin Yumeng raised his eyebrows, he was very surprised by Qian Cai's ability to act, but he didn't expect him to move very fast, and asked again: "What about the general?"
"The generals recruited back the former protector general Long Zhantian, he was dismissed because of the suspicion of the royal family, he has been living at home, and was invited out of the mountain by us with a lot of money, and his old department went out of the mountain at the same time as him, and the current generals don't have to worry. ”
After listening to Qian Cai's return, Lin Yumeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let them step up their training, tear off the banner in a month, and officially participate in the land grabbing war, and I will set off with the army at that time." ”
"Yes!" Qian Cai replied excitedly, because his body was still trembling slightly.
Lin Yumeng chatted with Qian Cai for a while, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down, remember to continue recruiting troops." ”
Lin Yumeng only set the time of the uprising in a month, it was because of the frost, although the first treatment went well, but whether it would be smooth in the future Lin Yumeng did not dare to guarantee, so he could only do his best.
When the frost is cured, Lin Yumeng will have to prepare for the pre-army mobilization, and then where to pull the flag from, what slogans to play, all of which must be considered, Lin Yumeng is very busy now, so busy that he has no time to cultivate.
Fortunately, Cangyun is digging the Heavenly Dao Stone, and the poisonous snake is more casual, so he will not force Lin Yumeng to cultivate, and now Lin Yumeng is relatively free.
However, Lin Yumeng quietly treated the frost, but some people were unwilling, and Zhu Zhan, the eleventh student on the heavenly list, launched a life-and-death challenge to Lin Yumeng, and this challenge came for no reason, as if it suddenly fell from the sky.
When Lin Yumeng received this challenge, he was stunned for ten seconds before he reacted, and the money he got the news also sent Zhu Zhan's situation, and this person was also one of the students who had been bought by Principal Sun and his party before.
Zhu Zhan's cultivation is the peak of the late stage of the Spirit King, and he is only one chance away from breaking the bottleneck to break through to the Spirit Emperor, as for why he challenged Lin Yumeng, Qian Cai has not yet found out, only knows that Zhu Zhan had been out of the academy once before challenging Lin Yumeng.
Lin Yumeng was so angry that he was almost happy, these people challenged themselves for a few meanings, and they were also challenged by life and death, and they were afraid that they would not succeed, Lin Yumeng slapped the table and responded to this challenge, which was set in the afternoon of the same day, and Lin Yumeng was too lazy to wait.
Walking out of the villa, Lin Yumeng walked towards the life and death ring with brisk steps, and some students on the road recognized Lin Yumeng, immediately pointed, and followed Lin Yumeng to move towards the life and death ring.
Halfway through the road, I met a person head-on, it was Gu Xifeng.
As soon as Gu Xifeng saw Lin Yumeng, he immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Miss Lin." I heard that you were challenged, I came to cheer for you, I don't know if Miss Lin is ready, if there is anything that needs to be done by Gu, just command. ”
Lin Yumeng glanced at Gu Xifeng and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes!" Gu Xifeng replied calmly, smiling and with a gentleman's frank expression.
"Thank you so much!" Lin Yumeng gritted his teeth and walked in front of Gu Xifeng with his head up, and saw the smile on the corner of Gu Xifeng's mouth, which felt particularly dazzling.
Under the ring of life and death, Qian Tong had already set up the blocking table, but his face didn't look good, because everyone who came to bet was buying Lin Yu Mengsheng, even if Zhu Zhan's odds were adjusted to one to ten, no one bet, and Qian Tong was so angry that he slammed the table.
Seeing Lin Yumeng's arrival, Qian Tong was almost about to cry, Lin Yumeng glanced at him, calmly walked to the blocking platform next to him, and asked, "What are my odds?"
Uh, Zhu Wanguan saw that it was Lin Yumeng, and stammered a little and said: "You, your odds are 1 to 5, you, what do you want to do?"
Lin Yumeng took out an amethyst card and said lightly: "One million medium-grade spiritual source stones, press me to win!"
Zhu Wanguan shouted in surprise, holding Lin Yumeng's amethyst card hand trembling a little, and when he saw Lin Yumeng buying his own win, he immediately became interested, and flocked to Zhu Wanguan and Qian Tong, scrambling to bet.
Zhu Zhan on the stage was so angry that his face turned blue, do these people look down on themselves like this? Suddenly tiptoeing, when he came to the ring, he originally wanted to go to Zhu Wanguan to place a bet, but Lin Yumeng stood in front of Zhu Wanguan, attracting a large number of bettors, and he couldn't squeeze in at all.
Qian Tong, who was pushing left and right, knew that the opportunity was coming, pointed at Zhu Zhan and asked, "Senior Brother Zhu, are you here to bet?" I can also bet here, your odds are one to twenty, which is higher than the odds over there. ”
Zhu Zhan's heart moved when he heard this, he had been watching it on the stage for a long time, and knew that Qian Tong's odds here were higher than Zhu Wanguan's, but Lin Yumeng's was much lower than Zhu Wanguan's, so he squeezed everyone away and came to Qian Tong.
Pointing at Qian Tong, he said, "One hundred thousand lower grade spirit source stones." ”
Qian Tong looked at Zhu Zhan in surprise, thinking that even if Zhu Zhan didn't have a million medium-grade spiritual source stones, there should be 100,000, but he didn't expect that this product was really poor, only 100,000 lower-grade spiritual source stones.
Zhu Zhan's face turned red, knowing that he had taken out less Lingyuan Stone, he suddenly snorted angrily and said, "And this space ring, look at the things inside, how much is it worth?"
Qian Tong took the ring and found that the divine consciousness on it had been erased, so he shot his divine consciousness in, and swept it at random, there were only a few second-grade spiritual weapons in it, and there were a lot of medicinal materials, it seemed that Zhu Zhan should have picked them himself, as well as some animal skins and bones and some refining materials, so he said: "Even if it is a hundred thousand lower grade spiritual source stones." ”
Zhu Zhan was overjoyed when he heard Qian Tong's valuation, this price was beyond the price in his heart, he didn't see that Qian Tong was really generous, Qian Tong was actually generous, he was sure that Lin Yumeng had won in his heart.
After placing a bet, Zhu Zhan jumped up, flew to the ring, and shouted: "Lin Yumeng, come up and die!"
