Chapter 1026: Gifts are exchanged
Or Lu Zhensheng started talking:
"By the way, how's Blade Harbor?"
The two places were less than forty miles apart, and the news went quickly. Lu Qing'an already knew that nearly 3,000 trees had fallen in Blade Harbor and twelve ships had been lostβeven though they had all been moored to the dock, several small boats had been swept ashore and smashed to pieces.
Six hundred and ten people were killed, more than 2,100 were injured, and countless warehouses, goods, and houses were destroyed.
In the past two days, Port Blade has been busy cleaning up after the disaster, and it is common to hang white cloths on the doors of homes on the streets and alleys.
It seems that the losses of Blade Harbor are much greater than those of Baili. Lu Zhensheng nodded, and if it was worse, he felt more comfortable.
The Blade Harbor City Bo Division only predicted the hurricane, but he didn't expect the emperor to come too, and was caught off guard by the two-pronged approach.
At this time, the emperor slurry is not like Furui, but more like a disaster!
Or Lu Qing'an understands this Lao Tzu: "Father wants to ask Yangshan Islands?" β
This hurricane was also very powerful, first landing head-on on the Yangshan Islands, and then climbed onto land unhurriedly. Fortunately, the landing site was not Blade Harbor, but dozens of miles to the west.
And the storm lasted for two days, and the sky seemed to leak, and water was poured down frantically.
Judging from this path, the Yangshan Islands, which are facing the typhoon's frontal landfall, should suffer the heaviest losses. With God's help, Lu Zhensheng hopes that the boy surnamed He will be unlucky as soon as possible after this catastrophe. Besides, the Bailong people should also take advantage of the chaos, right?
Oh yes, and those Baga bounty hunters.
"The dozens of ships of the Asan Chamber of Commerce, he didn't touch the edge at all." They also found someone to deliver the news to Ding Zuodong, "Luck won't always be like this, right?" β
"At present, the loss is unknown, after all, the news at sea is blocked, and it will take a few days to return to land." There was fire in his throat again, and Lu Qing'an poured himself a cup of warm tea to quench his thirst, "However, some merchants inhabited Sodin Island during the hurricane, saying that it was well built, the ships sheltered from the wind, people went ashore, and there was food, drink and shelter. β
"Is the kid surnamed He okay?"
"Probably not, or they'll hear about it."
Lu Zhensheng is also a little strange, Lao Yu doesn't know where he went, and he didn't come back to report after the hurricane.
He's been busy these days, and now when he rests, he remembers that there is still such a person.
Hmm, could it be ......?
Probably not, he comforted himself that there were many hurricanes.
But he was still deeply disappointed, those Bailong people were such a waste! No wonder he was chased and killed by Yaguo.
Before the hurricane, Lao Yu came back to spread the word that Uncle Wan Qi was willing to cooperate and would do it in the near future. At that time, Lu Zhensheng was still very happy, after all, Wan Qi's uncle and nephew's combat effectiveness was famous, and they still had 600 elite soldiers, which was the perfect "knife" that borrowed the knife to kill people.
Unexpectedly, the hurricane and the emperor slurry have passed, and He Lingchuan seems to be safe and sound.
Blind to such a good opportunity.
Lu Qing'an said again: "On the day when the merchant ships and merchants left, Suodin Island also sold the elixir made from the emperor's slurry. β
"Sell what?" Lu Zhensheng couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again? β
"Two kinds of pills made from Emperor Slurry, one thousand each." Lu Qingan also felt 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." β
"How much Emperor Flowing Pulp has been collected by the Yangshan Islands, and it can be used for alchemy and sold?" Those who have this kind of ability are not small forces.
Lu Zhensheng couldn't sit still, stood up and walked around, "Did the merchant say what happened on the island?" β
"That's it. There was always a breeze on Sodin Island, and hurricanes were always kept out, so it was much easier for them to get the Imperial Slurry. "Otherwise, whether it is the emperor flow slurry or a torrential rain, it will be blown away by a hurricane together, and it will be difficult to catch it.
"Hurricane blocked?" Lu Zhensheng nodded, "Enchantment." The one surnamed He also used the windproof barrier. β
The enchantment is nothing unusual, they also use it in their houses, and not even a single tile has been blown off.
The question is how large the Yangshan Islands are, and how scattered they are. Is it true that the surname He is placed in every place to prevent windbreaks?
That's a lot of money!
"When the Emperor came to him, Sodinin gave them the containers and told them to stand in the open space in front of the guest room, bounded by white lines. A group of guards on the side waited with big sticks in their hands, and whoever crossed the line would shoot the stick at whom, and directly knocked out the lock and locked it into the house, and then didn't give the emperor a chance to flow pulp. β
"After knocking over a dozen of them like this, the others were honest, and they stood at the door to pick up the emperor for a night."
"Distribute containers, white lines as boundaries? Still sending someone to wait? This is a long time to prepare. Lu Zhensheng was suspicious when he heard 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 Liquid Pulp would come within a few days, and said that the Islands had already prepared the medicine for refining Dansan, and those who were interested in refining the medicine could buy it the day after the Emperor Liquid Pulp arrived. It is said that the people of the island will be suspicious and discuss. β
The spies sent out by the Lu family were in the archipelago and heard it, so they rushed back to report.
When the father and son of the Lu family heard this, they were shocked.
They have a first-hand source, because Lu Qinglin obtained it from Mu Guo; Blade Harbor didn't, so the losses were heavy.
Where did He Lingchuan get such important information?
This kid, is there any extra doorway? Is there a superior person behind him?
"No wonder the Yangshan Islands purchased a large number of medicinal herbs a few days ago." Lu Qing'an's face sank like water, "Damn, this time they dodged it again!" β
"This kid is a bit of a doorway, his subordinates are all patchwork rabble, and the emperor didn't even make trouble for him that night? It's getting more and more wrong. Lu Zhensheng frowned, "Qing'an, you can't let this kid gain a firm foothold, otherwise you will be in trouble in the future." β
Lu Qingan nodded, and suddenly remembered something again:
"By the way, the third and sixth uncles have been in close contact with He Lingchuan in business recently, and the relationship has become more and more enthusiastic."
Hot? Lu Zhensheng knows the temperament of these two relatives best. Why Hot? It's not that the money has been earned!
"These two guys, going with our opponents?" He was a little annoyed, "Is it not clear in the brain?" β
Lu Qingan coughed lightly: "I asked the third uncle, and he said that it was just a business dealing, and nothing else was involved." β
"Got it, I'll talk to them!"
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhensheng's original wife, Mrs. An, got up to wash, and at the same time summoned the kitchen to serve green lotus seeds, red dates, and millet porridge.
This season, there are very few green lotus seeds, but of course Lufu can still get them. This freshly peeled tender lotus seed opens the spleen, moistens the spleen, moistens the stomach, improves skin elasticity, and adds luster to the woman's face.
However, the lotus seed porridge has not yet come, and the next person hurried to report first:
"On Runtang's table, there are suddenly seven more brocade boxes!"
"What? Nishiki box? Mrs. Ann was inexplicable, "Who put it?" β
Runtang is the living room of Lu Zhensheng and his wife, and it is also a common breakfast place, which is never open to outsiders after the second gate.
To say that someone sent a gift to Runtang, Mrs. An's first reaction was not joy, but strangeness.
The servant only said that he did not know, and the slave who kept vigil last night clearly patrolled the inside and outside and locked the door of the house, but when the rooster crowed, he opened the door and went in to clean it, only to find a pile of brocade boxes appearing on the table out of thin air.
That is the octagonal table where Lu Zhensheng and his wife eat.
When encountering such a strange thing, of course, the slave did not dare to act rashly, and hurried to ask the master's mother.
Mrs. An hurried to Runtang to take a look, and there were indeed seven square brocade boxes on the table, and the outside of the boxes were wrapped in gold silk, not to mention the luxury, and there was a strong fragrance.
Hey? Before sending it, incense was also smoked to show preciousness.
Mrs. An was full of suspicion, looked around a few times, and then called someone to come forward to open the box.
The origin of the box is unknown, and she does not dare to get her hands on it herself.
The subordinate opened a cloth bag, and then opened the lid of the box, and screamed "ah", so frightened that he took three steps back in succession!
"People, heads!"
Needless to say, Mrs. Ann saw the contents of the box:
A header.
The deceased was in his forties, with a distorted face and slightly open eyes, and on this sunny morning, he was a good illustration of what it means to be "lifeless".
Mrs. An's screams suddenly resounded throughout Lufu!
After half the incense, the Lu father and son were standing in the hall.
"Father, who is this?" Lu Qingan didn't recognize this head, but he knew that it must have something to do with his father, otherwise these boxes would not have been sent to the house.
Lu Zhensheng's face turned pale and muttered, "Lao Yu! This is Lao Yu. β
"Who?" Lu Qingan had a bad premonition.
"Lao Yu will do things for me." At this point, Lu Zhensheng had to tell the truth, "I sent him to contact the Bailong people." β
This is the subordinate he sent to contact Wan Qi's uncle and nephew, and it is also the spy who has been mixed into 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 also send Lao Yu to take them to the island to connect......"
Among Lu Zhensheng's subordinates, Lao Yu is delicate, the best at disguise, and knows how to act when he sees opportunities.
What's more, the task he carried out was only to connect and persuade, and he was not to assassinate He Lingchuan in person.
Therefore, although Lao Yu didn't show up a few days ago, Lu Zhensheng didn't think that anything big could happen to him.
Now he finally appeared, but he was lying in the box sent by He Lingchuan!
"The Bega?" Lu Qingan interrupted his father's words, and his voice suddenly raised three degrees, "When it happened, why don't I know!" β
"Just the other day, on the night of a hurricane."
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Qingan's forehead, and he said astringently: "The other boxes are all opened!" β
A few attendants boldly stepped forward and opened the remaining six brocade boxes.
Without exception, it was full of human heads.
Six miserable white heads with different expressions and unkempt hair.
Lu's father and son were silent for a long time.
Lu Qingan looked at his father: "These are all your subordinates?" β
"Yes, I sent someone to the Yangshan Islands." Lu Zhensheng's throat choked, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "He Lingchuan found it." β
He Lingchuan knows it!
