Although Zhao Zhengke was stopped outside Anling City, the Zhao family would not just forget it.

After failing to do it directly, and after receiving Qiu Wanyong's ban on behalf of Qingfengmen, they also thought of some ways from other places.

In the final analysis, it is the blockade and the harassment, which are combined, and in the next period of time, it will really bring a lot of trouble to the Lu family.

The Zhao family has been operating in Anling County for too many years, and before the rise of the Lu family, they were the big family of Anling County, and their influence was still strong.

Under their influence, Pingyao County has been isolated.

Here it is necessary to mention the geographical location of Pingyao.

Pingyao is located in the northwest corner of Anling County, and further north and west, it is a primeval forest with a radius of 100,000 miles, which is the junction of Feiyun Prefecture, Selangor Prefecture and Shuozhou of the Jin Kingdom, and is named 'North Wilderness'. There are all the desolate beasts and demon clans inside, and there are fourth-order and even fifth-order demon kings living in the depths, dominating the demon clans of the Northern Desolate Forest.

This is a behemoth that cannot be provoked, especially the fifth-order demon king, which is comparable to the existence of the Yuanying Cultivator.

Further north from the North Wilderness Forest, there is Jibei County in Selangor, but due to the partition of the North Wilderness Forest in the middle, the road between the two sides is not passable. In fact, there is only one eastern passage between Feiyun and Selangor, which is from Beihai County in the east to Jinan County.

In other words, when the Zhao family united their allies and locked the east and south directions of Pingyao, Pingyao, which was in the corner, was an isolated island.

The Zhao family's blockade of Pingyao County was also divided into two major steps.

The first is to mobilize forces that are close to them, whether it is a family in various places, or some chambers of commerce, or even some mortal forces, they are not allowed to do business with the Lu family. In this way, the Lu family's things can't be sold or bought.

The Lu family's income will shrink greatly, such as the sale of Shui Yun Horse, the sale of Huineng Stone, the sale of the magic weapons produced by the family, the sale of various medicinal herb raw materials and pills...... All of them will be very affected.

The local market in Pingyao can't afford to produce so much. For example, the Shuiyun Horse, priced at more than 1,000 spirit stones, which of these scattered cultivators in Pingyao can afford it?

Moreover, they are not only targeting the Lu family, but also the entire Pingyao County.

Pingyao County itself is not barren, the property is rich, the place is quite large, the population is the largest among the Anling counties, these all mean that Pingyao is a treasure.

But in any case, it is impossible for Pingyao to meet the needs of hundreds of monks in one county without doing any business transactions with the outside world.

After the follow-up casual cultivation can't bear the pressure, or feels that Pingyao County is too dangerous and has no future, they will run away. As soon as people run, it is like the artificial spirit vein mansion in the county seat, and the low-level spirit veins around it are not rented, and there is no way to collect taxes if no one does business......

This is to be broken by the roots.

Of course, no matter how influential the Zhao family is, it is impossible to take it seriously and completely make everyone dare not do business with the Lu family, and it is almost the same as replacing it with Qingfengmen.

For example, Husheng Trading House and Feiyun Xing, which have a background in the sect, are not false, and business is done as such; for example, Mu Yangcheng, the leader of the loose cultivation in Surabaya, also maintains a trade route with the Lu family; and there is also a direct trade route between Pingyao and Anling City......

For some places that they really can't blockade, the Zhao family will increase the pressure on the one hand, for example, the Lu family has received several letters of complaint from Mu Yangcheng, saying that his life in Surabaya County is not satisfactory, and the Ma family, as an ally of the Zhao family, has been making trouble for him in Surabaya recently.

On the other hand, they also used a more direct trick - harassment.

They will hire loose cultivators, and even the Zhao family monks to personally attack and detain the Lu family's caravan.

This further hit Lu's industry.

The whole situation, in a very short period of time, has become very bad.

At present, the Lu family is under tremendous pressure. It is good to say that there will be a sharp drop in income in the short term, but this situation will not be sustainable in the long term.

At the same time, there was some turmoil within Pingyao County. There have already been a small number of loose cultivators who have begun to flee, this kind of thing is difficult to stop, and the Lu family can't say, 'I will kill you if you leave Pingyao', this is unrealistic.

But fortunately, these turmoil are still controlled within a bearable range for the time being, and more casual cultivators are on the sidelines, and some of them have approached the Lu clan and asked them how they plan to deal with this matter.

Lu has already started to deal with the pacification work, and the effect is not bad, but this is not a long-term solution.

This kind of thing cannot be solved by appeasement alone.

The essence of the final solution to this problem still falls on breaking the blockade.

After discussing with Lu Chaoxi, the five members of the Lu family finally came up with a corresponding strategy: first solve the problem of Surabaya County in the south.

......

Lu Ranting, with four Lu family monks from the lineage, and five hired loose cultivators, escorted a batch of goods, and had already arrived in Surabaya.

They were very careful along the way, but they couldn't completely hide it.

When they arrived in Surabaya County, they did not enter the city, but went around half a circle, arrived at the south of the city, and traveled for another day to arrive at Manling Mountain.

This Manling Mountain is Mu Yangcheng's territory. He was born in a casual cultivator, and when he was nearly sixty years old, he was unwilling to waste his life, so he took the risk of trying to forcibly break through without Tsukidan, but he was lucky enough to really cross this pass.

Then, he became the leader of the loose cultivation in this part of Surabaya, and fought against the Surabaya Ma clan, both competition and cooperation, and the mixed up was still prosperous.

The foundation that is not made from the foundation building pill is deeper than the mana of the ordinary foundation building, and the foundation is also better. Although Mu Yangcheng only has three spiritual roots and is more than one hundred and thirty years old, he is a little older than Lu Chaoxi, but now he is also the ninth layer of the foundation.

In fact, compared to the Ma family, Mu Yangcheng actually has nothing to do with the previous Lu family.

But this time, he pressed the treasure on the Lu family's body.

On the one hand, the Zhao family once offended him, and on the other hand, and most importantly, he thought that the Lu family had a better future than the Zhao family. Lu Chaoxi, a young Qiming monk, didn't say anything, he felt that Lu Qing, the Jindan Ancestor, was really not dead, and he was secretly helping the Lu family.

Surabaya is not far from Pingyao, and over the years, he has looked at the Lu family, which is about to be finished, and with the help of a mysterious force, it has developed better and better, and then soared into the sky in the first battle in Northern Xinjiang, completely reversing the outside world's perception of them, and once again becoming a big family that can confront the Zhao family in Anling County.

Mu Yangcheng believes that this mysterious power is the evidence that the ancestor of the Lu family is still alive.

Lu Ranting and the others who came this time were transporting a batch of goods and handed them over to him to deal with. He promised to help sell this batch of goods, exchange them for spirit stones, and then hand them over to the Lu family.

But there are two requirements: he doesn't care about delivery and withdrawal, he has to come by the Lu family himself. He couldn't send his men into Pingyao, and he had been under a lot of pressure lately.

But after the team led by Lu Ranting arrived at Manling Mountain, he also met with Lu Ranting and others.

"Your trip is very risky. "One mouth, that's what he said.

This is his sincere judgment.
