Lu Sheng shook his head, said nothing more, quickly got off the boat with his things, called Ning San, Xu Chui and others who were waiting, and rushed towards the Jinyu Flower House.
When he arrived at the flower house, he immediately found Jade Lotus Seed and asked her to move to Yanshan City. In the city, with a large population and the presence of the imperial court, Hongfang may not do anything aggressively, so as not to anger the world's aristocratic families.
But there is no scruples in the wilderness outside.
"The sisters from the Liu family are not here?? What do you mean?" Lu Sheng was taken aback when he saw the subordinates who came back after calling someone.
"Reporting to the boss, my subordinate didn't respond after knocking on the door, so I asked the female gang to break in through the window, and I only saw this letter and this small box on the table." The subordinate respectfully said something and presented it.
Lu Sheng sat in the hall, receiving the envelopes and small boxes that were delivered.
What surprised him was that this small box was actually a jade box, and it was very cold to start with. He didn't know if it was a good thing that the sisters of the Liu family brought from home.
"Go down and get ten taels of silver by yourself." Recently, the price has fluctuated, and the purchasing power of one tael of silver is only equivalent to 80% of the usual. These ten taels of silver are equivalent to 8,000 yuan. It is equivalent to the monthly income of ordinary people, which is not a lot.
"Thank you, sir." The subordinate slowly left.
Lu Sheng sat alone in the hall, unfolding the envelope.
"Young Master Lu, Gao Yi, my sisters and I have nothing to repay you, only a Huarong Pill, which gathers energy to help you improve.
A few days ago, we had a premonition that there was a great danger to be attracted, so we had to leave first to avoid disturbing others. I hope you don't look for your son. If there is a day to see you again in the future, you will definitely repay this kindness. —Liu Caiyun, Liuqin. '
Lu Sheng put down the letter, let out a low sigh, and left at this time, with the ability of the sisters of the Liu family, they might be able to avoid catastrophe, so that's fine.
The two of them were able to escape from Yunzhou thousands of miles away, and they were safe and sound with such immature skills. There must be a big secret and a big reliance on them. But now he has no time to think about it.
"I must start improving my hard skills as soon as possible. I have the Yin Qi items I received before. I can go further!"
That night, Lu Shengyu Lianzi, together with hundreds of resident gang members from Jinyu Flower House, Ning San, Xu Chui, and Duan Meng'an, returned to Yanshan City together, and stayed in the largest casino, Fuming Casino.
Lu Sheng took the time to go back home, and reminded his father Lu Quanan that he must never go out of the city recently, and then returned to the casino.
Lu Quanan had listened to his warning before, and stocked up a lot of grain and oil at home. With his full strength, the stock of grain and oil was enough to feed hundreds of people for more than a year. This is still a short period of time, and I haven't been able to get more. But the back road guarantee is no problem.
Then Lu Sheng arranged for all the gang subordinates in the city, together with Feiyingtang, to speed up the pace of hoarding food, and at the same time pay attention to the news of other gang sects whose headquarters are outside.
He himself handed over the affairs to Yu Lianzi, told him not to leave the city, and then announced his retreat.
... ... ... ... ..
Quiet room.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle, with a huge static character pasted on the wall behind him, surrounded by pitch-black stone walls, which cost a lot of money.
In front of him was a small jar of golden ointment, which exuded a strong heat and medicinal fragrance.
"This newly brewed ointment is really extraordinary. A single dose of medicine is worth a thousand gold." Lu Sheng looked at the ointment in front of him and said with emotion.
Such a small can of practice ointment is only enough for three times, but the cost has reached an astonishing thousand taels of silver.
In the previous life, it was equivalent to millions of dollars. Such expenses, these medicinal materials, if he is not in a high position and holds power, he may not be able to purchase enough medicinal materials if he is rich.
"This is the supreme holy product for practicing hard work, the golden ointment. When you take a sip during practice, it can be transformed into essence, nourishing yin and moisturizing the whole body."
Lu Sheng also searched in the alchemy room for a long time before he paid the only jar of golden balm on credit from the steward.
Originally, this thing was to be diluted in water soup, divided into hundreds of portions, and given to hundreds of people.
But they were all carried away by him alone.
After getting ready, Lu Sheng took out the first hard work to be practiced from his arms.
"I have Jiujiang Tiesuo Kung Fu and Xiong Fighting Hands, both of which are in the realm of Dacheng, and Xiong Fighting Shou is only a fraction, but Jiujiang Tiesuo Kung Fu is a force-level hard qigong. After Dacheng, it still has some power. It can withstand ordinary people's blunt weapons. "
"Then, next, what I should practice is the golden yarn skill that focuses on cutting with sharp objects."
At that moment, Lu Sheng got up and pulled the rattle.
Soon following the instructions, the people outside brought in a bucket of thick jet-black medicinal soup, which filled more than half of the entire bath bucket.
After Lu Sheng and the others went out, they quickly took off their clothes and jumped into it.
Hiss... ..
A burst of scalding heat flowed continuously from the skin into the body.
The Chiji Nine Demons Art within Lu Sheng's body began to operate naturally, resisting the heat. His skin quickly turned red, like overcooked shrimp. The white water vapor continuously exhaled from the mouth and nose, which was extremely hot.
The Golden Yarn Kung Fu is also a hard Kung Fu skill. It has two levels, namely the silver yarn and the golden yarn. The major is the extrinsic membrane. After Dacheng, the skin is extremely hard and can withstand stabbing and cutting with sharp objects, but it has no effect on heavy blows with blunt objects.
What Lu Sheng valued was also its ability to resist sharp objects.
Soaked in the medicinal soup, Lu Sheng quickly followed Jin Shagong's method, using an iron brush soaked in water in advance, and slowly brushed against the skin.
The shape of this brush is no different from ordinary bath brushes, but it is made of black iron, and the end is extremely sharp. It is exactly what is necessary for practicing this skill mentioned in the golden yarn skill.
Lu Sheng was sitting in the tub, with the iron brush in his hand constantly brushing back and forth on his chest, abdomen, back.
His movements were very light, but as time passed, he continued to increase and accelerate, and the skin on his body became more and more red.
Originally, he possessed two great and hard skills, and his body was tough and strong. Now he came to practice Jinsha Kungfu, such a powerful and hard kung fu, so naturally he would get twice the result with half the effort.
Soon, as time passed, Lu Sheng obviously felt a chill rising from his lower abdomen. Then the pores of the whole body shrank suddenly, and with the stimulation of the iron brush, they were reacting instinctively, absorbing the power of the medicinal soup.
"Fire! Put out the fire!!"
"It's on fire!!! Where's the wooden barrel? Where's the person from the firefighting building!!!?"
"Here, hurry up!!"
Standing on the pavilion, Chen Yunxi frowned slightly as she looked at the hectic scene in the distance.
The sky was bright and white, with a touch of blue mixed with a little red, emerging in the eastern sky.
Chen Yunxi was wearing a white dress and had been standing on the terrace for a while. Behind her is the study room where she sips tea, practice calligraphy and read books.
And here is Yingyue Building, a five-story building specially built for her by her father, and every floor from top to bottom is filled with all kinds of her things.
"Xixi, are you still watching the fire?" Just as he was distracted, a gray-haired old man with a thick voice slowly walked into the room.
"I saw that the door was open, so I came in to take a look." The old man smiled. She was dressed in a brocade robe, with fish-patterned jade beads hanging around her waist, but she wore a pair of silk gloves that were neither gold nor silver, but gleaming with scales.
"Daddy... that fire is so scary... how many years has Yanshan City seen such a big fire?" Chen Yunxi turned her head and whispered.
"That's not a big fire... But... now it's okay... I heard that something happened to a gangster outside. These black people are not good things. They are extorting blood and sucking blood. It is best to die." The old man said It was Chen Yunxi's father, old man Chen Daozao from Yanshan City.
The experience of this old man is a legend. From starting from scratch to today's Fujiayanshan City, he almost managed it with his own hands.
His original name was Chen Daozao, and the word "Dao" in his name was changed later by himself. The original name meant that he disliked him for being born too early.
This person grew up in a poor and poor family, and his parents didn't like him, thinking that he was a drag on his elder brother's success in the exam.
But he didn't expect that decades later, he would be the only one in the Chen family to prosper. Although he was a businessman, his family's fortune was far beyond what his parents imagined.
What's even more valuable is that after he had his eldest son, he had another daughter, Yunxi. His sons and daughters are filial, which can be regarded as the fruit of cultivation.
"Tomorrow, the Prince is going to come to his house as a guest, you must dress up well, and you will also come out to greet him." Chen Daozao reminded.
"I don't like Wang Shunyong." Chen Yunxi whispered.
"That can't be helped. We are businessmen, and our lifeblood is in the hands of official families like them. My daughter. We were born in such troubled times, and we can't help ourselves..." Chen Daozao said helplessly.
Why did he want his daughter to be a concubine for Wang Shunyong, the son of the vice commander-in-chief? What can he do? It was okay to say that it was peaceful in the past, but now there are many turmoil, the trade routes are almost cut off, and the supplies in the city are becoming more and more tense. And the Chen family, which stored the most supplies, became the best fat sheep in the eyes of the superiors.
Although I have made a lot of connections on weekdays, but in this tense period, those connections that are only obtained by money are not reliable.
So although this move wronged her daughter, she could only force her to do so.
When Wang Shunyong arrives, he will be the only son of the Wang family of the vice commander in chief. As long as he uses some drugs... uncooked rice and cooked rice... and a large dowry of gold, silver and food, Yunxi's status as a concubine is I can't run anymore.
Chen Yunxi was helpless, she didn't know her father's small plan, but after all, it was a father-daughter bond, she could more or less see what Chen Daozao was thinking.
The elder brother, Chen Jiaorong, just made an engagement with the daughter of the jailer in the city.
The jailer is the official who manages the prison in the magistrate's yamen. He is considered one of the top ten figures in the Yanshan city's yamen today. To be able to gain a relationship with such a family, it is the Chen family who is considered to be the best.
Speaking of it, the Chen family seems to have a big family and a great business, but in fact they all rely on the affection points that Chen Daozao obtained from sponsoring the magistrate, but now the affection points are wearing away day by day, and they are about to run out. Another major event happened to Yanshan City, so I stopped looking for some backers, fearing that something might happen.
"Xixi, daddy can't do anything about it either. Do you know what conditions did your elder brother Jiao Rong ask for?" Chen Daozao showed a trace of helplessness and powerlessness on his face.
"What condition? Isn't it ten thousand taels of gold and silver? Ten sets of jewels, several authentic works by famous masters?" Chen Yunxi asked doubtfully.
Chen Daozao looked at this innocent daughter, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"That's just on the surface, Lord Prisoner, what you really want is half of our Chen family's wealth..."
"Ah!?" Chen Yunxi was shocked.
Half the family fortune... ..it's literally...
"If you succeed this time, maybe we can keep 20% of the remaining half of our foundation, but if it doesn't..." Chen Daozao smiled wryly. Outsiders see him as beautiful, but how many people know the pain.
It seems that the family has a big business, but it is actually a fat sheep in the eyes of many people.
Chen Yunxi was silent.
She lowered her head, and then slowly raised it after a while.
"I see... .."
"It's good that you understand..." Chen Dao nodded in relief. Isn't raising a daughter and raising a daughter just for this moment
"I think, let's go to the academy at last..." Chen Yunxi said in a low voice.
"Going to find that Lu Sheng again? They don't want you anymore, why do you still go to him, he's just a little rascal! If you learn a little martial arts, you don't know what the world is like!" Chen Daozao suddenly became dissatisfied. Although he has a big business, he is not from the rivers and lakes after all, and he doesn't understand the high-level changes of the Red Whale Gang. Naturally, he has never heard of Lu Sheng's reputation. Maybe he has heard of it once or twice, but he thought it was the same name and didn't care.
At this time, seeing his daughter's stubborn and silent appearance, his heart softened after all.
Wang Shunyong was drugged and he was the only son of the vice president who had clearly rejected his daughter before. Even if everything goes well, the Wang family will admit it, but after marrying, Yunxi must also suffer humiliation because of this, plus she is a concubine.. . Life in the future is absolutely difficult.
Thinking of this, Chen Daozao finally sighed.
"Go, go, but don't be impulsive... Don't be impulsive, or my Chen family will really..." He sighed, turned and left without further words.
Chen Yunxi watched her father leave and walk out of the room, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, squatted down, tears slid down her cheeks.
