Chapter 84: Escape, unexpected harvest! (Subscribe) "Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency!" Zhao Hongyuan knelt down repeatedly, tears of gratitude streaming down his face, and backed out of the room step by step. The yard was quiet. Only when they were far away from the wing did Zhao Hongyuan straighten his back. He looked at the butler Lin Guiyong hiding in the shadows and quietly raised his index finger. "one?" Lin Guiyong was overjoyed and quickly ran out to pack up his belongings and prepare to escape. The two jujube trees in the yard had lost all their leaves, and the setting sun shone through the gaps between the branches, creating mottled light. He reached out and broke off a dry branch, rubbing it repeatedly in his hand. Date trees are not easy to grow. This year marks the fifth year since he planted the trees. Unfortunately, he has only eaten the dates once and cannot wait until the second crop in August next year.
Zhao Hongyuan stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath. Five years ago, he was still a small businessman, relying on his cleverness to do some small business. Although he was not rich, he lived much better than ordinary people, and even had enough spare money to take a concubine. It all started with the injured old man in gorgeous clothes lying on the side of the road. Out of the mentality of making the most of a rare commodity, Zhao Hongyuan made up his mind within a few breaths after seeing what happened. He secretly placed the old man on a carriage and took him back to recuperate. Once the old man woke up and told Zhao Hongyuan his identity, everything was irreversible. Damn, the Shuimu sect is a monster! Zhao Hongyuan regretted it very much at that time, but now, not only does he not regret it, but he is very fortunate. If you want to get rich, you will go crazy. From then on, the Shuimu Sect had been providing help in secret, so that he could develop and expand his business openly. In reality, as members of the Shuimu Sect, they went to Pingyang Town and the surrounding villages to raise mountain ghosts and wait for the harvest. It would be more accurate to say that Pingyang Town’s favorable environment attracted the Shuimu Sect rather than being chosen. After more than 20 years of development, Pingyang Town has a very large population. Moreover, since it is a town rather than a county, there is no government obstruction. The second reason is that there are so many mobile martial artists in the martial arts school that no one would notice if one or two were missing every month. For example, Lu Shaohui was aloof and indifferent by nature, and no one cared about him even after his death. In such an environment, the mountain ghosts raised are very strong and healthy. All the Shuimu Sect paid was a precious plant that could be planted, and when he encountered competitors, he would use some tricks in secret to gain the benefits without spending any money. Zhao Hongyuan even felt that the Shuimu Sect had cultivated many people like him in other places, just like the branches on the jujube tree, densely packed yet never intersecting with each other. Five years later, everything has been going very smoothly. The number of mountain ghosts is increasing, and they can be recycled. They can be taken away after use and wait for the next breeding cycle. Zhao Hongyuan's family business has also increased dozens of times, with assets spread from small towns to large counties! The only problem is Mr. Zhao doesn't believe in religion at all!
What is Shuimu Sect? It has a nice name and sounds very upright, but the people they believe in are actually Yin Sha Shui Mu! The god of water and disaster! It should be called the Ghost Mother Cult! This thing that was violently destroyed decades ago is now a completely sinking rotten ship! What about Dashun? In the middle of the day! It is easy for bandits who commit many evil deeds to live a comfortable life by hiding their identities. But if you are the leader of a rebel group, no matter where you are, you will never stop until you die! If you really let him take charge of everything, don't even think about escaping afterwards. Unless you spend the rest of your life following the Ghost Mother Cult and hiding in a vast swamp, neither human nor ghost, eating raw fish every day, it would be difficult for you to buy some soap to wash off the fishy smell. The best strategy is to squeeze out the three nails from this rotten ship of the Ghost Mother Cult and escape! The chance to escape came quickly, it was this blood sacrifice! In the past half month, there was the death of Lu Shaohui, the mountain ghost at the river god festival, and the hideout at the Fahua Temple. It was Zhao Hongyuan who exposed it all! The purpose is to make himself "get into trouble" and make himself "stupid", so that the blood sacrifice task can be entrusted to the Ghost Mother Cult's envoy. Huang Zejun really agreed, but Zhao Hongyuan would not go to the base camp. Bullshit, once you go there you can never come back and you’ll be a stray dog for the rest of your life. He had already made good connections and took a boat to Huangzhou! Huangzhou is far away from the Jianghuai and marshland regions and is located in the Central Plains. The Ghost Mother Sect, which is on the verge of death, is completely powerless to do anything. Although there are still many shops that have not been able to cash out in time, two Galloping Horse Realm Fetal Pearl Pills and four thousand taels of silver notes are enough for him to make a comeback! Fortunately, the people of the Ghost Mother Cult are stupid enough. Warriors at the Tiger Hunting Realm can live to be one hundred and twenty years old, and those at the Refined Elephant Realm can live even longer. However, sixty years have passed since the fall of Daqian. The older generation is still okay, the old ones can really survive, but the middle generation has died long ago, and the old Zhenxiang players are no longer able to run errands. The newborns born after the fall of Daqian became the "backbone force", such as Huang Zejun mentioned above. If you have the ability, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. But he had been hiding on the water island since he was a child, never went out to explore the world, and had never seen the vastness of the world. He was only constantly influenced by the old people in the church about the glory of the past, and had to accept the present situation. While thinking about the delicious food our ancestors enjoyed, I actually eat raw fish and have to deworm regularly. If you live like this for a long time, the whole person will be deformed. Impulsive, arrogant, and incompetent, they are totally a bunch of giant babies! Zhao Hongyuan has been in the business for so many years that it is easy to deal with him. Huang Zejun has only been here for two days and he is already remembering his kindness. Zhao Hongyuan casually inserted the branch in his hand into the soil, called Zheng Xiang, and stuffed a stack of papers into his hand: "Give this to that Liang kid." Zheng Xiang looked horrified. "What are you thinking? If I wanted to abandon you, would I have told you the matter a few days ago? Didn't you offend him before? It would be natural for me to give it to him secretly under the pretext of apologizing.
That kid should arrive at Pingyang Pier around dark. Remember to smear some mountain ghost blood on your body before he leaves so that he can smell it. After the matter is done, you will go to Yunjiang Port. I have arranged a boat for you to go to Huahong County. When you get there, don't move. I will come to find you. From now on, you can go to Huangzhou with me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!" "master!" Zheng Xiang was touched. If Zhao Hongyuan hadn't told him, he might have really stayed in the mansion foolishly and been liquidated. Zhao Hongyuan was not lying. He needed manpower to make a comeback. I didn't tell Zheng Xiang before that if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. If you act too much, you will make mistakes. Now that I'm leaving, of course I have to take my confidants with me. Zheng Xiang was a capable man, and he had "earned" many strong men through hard work. For a long time, he believed that his master was really a manizer. As for the note, it was Zhao Hongyuan’s final preparation. If you don’t want to be liquidated by Dashun, it is safer to minimize the disaster. I can only suffer the Ghost Mother Church again. As night falls, people walk home in twos and threes on the street. Liang Qu leaned quietly in the middle of the fishing boats, and the bows of the boats collided with each other, making a dull sound. He saw Zheng Xiang running towards the pier carrying large and small bags, as if he knew in advance when he would come back and was waiting there. "Mr. Liang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Liang Qu did not go ashore. He held the oars in his hands, straightened his back, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Butler Zheng, what's the plan?" "Mr. Liang, you are joking. Am I not here to apologize?" "Hey, what's there to apologize for? We are not..." Liang Qu was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when he saw Zheng Xiang winking and handing over the package. The package is not the key point, the key point is that he smelled a smell, A stench that is unique to mountain ghosts. Liang Qu changed the subject and took the gift: "What kind of conflict can we have? Let the past be the past." "Well, well, well, Lord Liang is very generous. He is truly a talented person from Pingyang." Zheng Xiang was sweating profusely, as the matter concerned life and death. His previous cleverness in playing both sides was gone, and he said a few dry and nice words and left quickly. really weird. It was just like an underground party meeting. Liang Qu frowned and calmly took his things back to the martial arts hall. (End of this chapter)
