Chapter 111: The Xu Family's Reaction
But is what you're doing right or wrong?
Looking at this group of mercenaries who had been queuing in line all morning and still didn't give up, Ling Yifeng's heart moved slightly, they didn't hesitate to brave the cold wind here for so long in order to improve their chances of survival, but in the end, they couldn't wait.
A good bottle of healing medicine means that they can have one more chance of survival when they are on a mission, and if they can come back alive, the family behind them will have more hope!
If they had no choice but to turn to buy those inferior healing medicines, maybe it was just a little bit of a gap, and they might never come back!
He just wanted to help the family resist the Xu family's economic offensive, but he didn't expect that many innocent people would be involved inadvertently.
However, the reality is so cruel, even if Ling Yifeng doesn't do this, the other families will try their best. From the few figures who secretly except Ling Yifeng last night, they could guess that there must be several shadows of other families behind them, and no one can let the Xu family grow alone like this, if he lets his family dominate, and in the end they control the entire pill market in Luoyu City, then it is not what they say? In the end, it is these mercenaries and the people who suffer!
I really wish I had the talent to refine pills!" Ling Yifeng clenched his fists, and then turned to leave.
There was such a big thing, the Xu family didn't make a noise, but suppressed it, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy over there explained that there was a temporary lack of inventory today, and there would be medicine for sale tomorrow!
Ling Yifeng didn't know if what he said was true or not, if it was just an excuse to delay, he was afraid that they had other warehouses with enough medicinal materials in them, then refining the healing medicine was only a matter of time for that pill pharmacist!
At this time, the Xu family was already in chaos.
The head of the family, Xu Su, sat at the end of the meeting hall, frowned at the information sent, and slammed his fist on the marble table in front of him, and the huge force made the surface of the hard boulder crack a little crack.
"Isn't there any in the ancient city of Sen, and the medicinal herbs in the surrounding towns have been sold out?" Xu Su's brows furrowed, and it seemed that a fly could be caught in the middle.
Since yesterday when they were patrolling, they suddenly found that the warehouse where the medicinal herbs were stored had been completely emptied, and they immediately took measures, except for catching a few nameless thieves who had sneaked in in Xujiabao, and they had not been able to find any useful clues. On the other hand, they immediately sent their men to the herb shops in several nearby towns to buy the medicinal materials needed to refine the blood ointment. It's a pity that the news now is that those places don't have a lot of medicinal herbs they need!
"Then go to other places to find it, and if it doesn't work, go directly to Shize, and we must make up the supply as soon as possible!"
"How did those thieves go?" Xu Su suddenly turned his head and looked at an old man with a serious face sitting next to him.
The old man, who was the elder deacon in charge of punishment, shook his head slightly: "We have exhausted the torture, and they refuse to reveal their origin and intentions! It seems that they are all specially trained dead soldiers, and we cannot get the slightest reliable information from them!"
"However, none of them are very strong, and it is impossible for them to steal the contents of the entire treasury without knowing it under our strict guard!" another elder also spoke.
"Bang!" Xu Su slammed his fist on the table again: "Speaking of this, I'm angry, what do the guards in the warehouse do to eat, and those secret whistles, the things in the entire warehouse disappear without the slightest notice?"
"Last night, the guards in the storehouse, the nearby patrol team, and some secret sentry have all been imprisoned, and they all said that they didn't notice the slightest movement! So many people didn't notice the slightest disturbance, I think the enemy's strength is probably at least above the late stage of the Spirit Realm!" said the Punishment Elder.
"In addition, there is another thing, not long before we found out that the warehouse was empty, Master Hao's two little medicine boys entered the warehouse alone to get medicine, and the guard at the door took a look at it at that time, and did not lose anything!
"In other words, the enemy can not only sneak into the warehouse incognito like a transparent person, but also move so many things out of thin air without being discovered, will he still be able to escape?" asked Xu Su as he knocked on the table.
"We also thought about whether the enemy had dug the tunnel, but we dug three feet into the ground and didn't find any traces of the tunnel!"
Xu Su stretched out his hand and grabbed his head with a headache, he could also guess that it must be the other three major families who would do this kind of thing, but he didn't think that who could have such a great ability to empty a room full of things under the noses of so many people, and he had no evidence to prove that it was them, so naturally it was impossible to come to the door to find trouble!
"Those dead soldiers, deal with them according to the rules!In addition, send more people to continue to look for medicinal herbs!" Xu Su leaned back in the chair behind him and waved his hand a little tiredly.
"Master of the family, how should Master Hao explain it?"
"I'll go over in person in the evening!
Back at the Ling family, Ling Yifeng headed towards Ling Yan Pavilion, he didn't wait for Elder Jin yesterday, he was going to come over today to try his luck.
Fortunately, when Ling Yifeng stepped into the hall, he caught a glimpse of Elder Jin lying on a rocking chair and swaying gently, and he didn't know if he was asleep or closing his eyes to recuperate.
"What's the matter?" As soon as he walked in front of Elder Jin, Ling Yifeng had not yet spoken, but Elder Jin, who had his eyes closed, took the lead and spoke slowly and leisurely.
"Grandpa Jin!" Ling Yifeng saluted respectfully.
Elder Jin raised his eyelids slightly, and when he saw that it was Ling Yifeng, he couldn't help but show a smile: "It's Xiao Feng here!"
"yes, I came to you yesterday, but unfortunately you weren't there!"
"Yes, I happened to be away yesterday!" Elder Jin was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"No!" Ling Yifeng scratched his head with a smile, took out the scroll of Ling Yingbu and handed it to Elder Jin, "I came here to return this thing to you!"
Elder Jin glanced at the secret book, then frowned, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Feng, our cultivation is about calmness, don't give up lightly because of the slightest difficulty! You have only been practicing for less than a month, and it is normal that you have not realized anything, and I have studied it repeatedly for a long time before I understand it a little!"
From Elder Jin's words, Ling Yifeng heard the displeasure in Elder Jin's words, he misunderstood that he thought this technique was difficult to practice and gave up, and smiled bitterly in embarrassment.
"You go back and study for another month, and if you still can't understand it, I'll answer a question or two for you!"
"You misunderstood, Grandpa Jin, this book of cheats is very magical, I have mastered the mysteries in it, just practice hard every day, I don't need this scroll!"
"What are you talking about?" Elder Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't know if what Ling Yifeng said was true or not, but he couldn't believe what he said, he stared at Ling Yifeng carefully for a long time, he stood up and said, "You come with me!"
