Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 41 Parting

Chapter 41 Parting
At this moment, Wang Yue, who was behind, also realized that this Third Master of Moyun Village was no ordinary person.

"Brother-in-law, let me help you!" he said, jumping off the horse.

"You help the others, I'll deal with him!" As Lu Ming's voice rang out, his long sword was already outstretched, its sharp blade light blooming and turning into a rainbow in the setting sun.

As it fell, even the air seemed to tremble.

Jin Sheng sensed the ferocity of Lu Ming's approach and raised his long sword to block above his head.

"Clang!" The two collided directly.

The blade of the former was chipped open.

The tiger's mouth was even cracked from the shock.

The long sword involuntarily drooped.

Lu Ming did not stop. He turned around, the blade spinning, this time aimed at Jin Sheng's neck.

"laugh!"

Then, a sound like leather being cut was heard.

The head of a perfectly good person has already flown high into the air.

A column of blood shot into the sky.

His strong body fell straight to the ground.

With the twitching of its legs, it was completely dead.

Wang Yue watched with excitement. He had just realized that the people from Moyun Village were not simple; he hadn't expected them to have the cultivation level of the Blood Moving Realm.

But Lu Ming killed him with a single stroke.

When he looked at the other person, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Li Xiyao, who was sitting on the horse, was encountering this situation for the first time. She covered her eyes while sitting on the horse, but her fingers peeked out from between her eyes to carefully observe.

Around them, Wang Han and his men killed dozens of bandits.

The rest of the people scattered.

"Sir, here is some silver."

Just then, someone shouted.

When Lu Ming went over to take a look, he indeed saw two full boxes of silver, probably several thousand taels.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this Moyun Village really is a money-making place.

"Wang Han, you stay here and set up roadblocks. Tell all the caravans that they should pay the same amount they paid to Moyun Village in the past."

Everyone else, come back with me!

"Yes, sir!" Wang Han responded and then led his men to begin controlling the roadblock.

Lu Ming patted Wang Yue, who was beaming with excitement, and said, "Let's go back too."

"Okay, brother-in-law!" He had killed people before, but this was the first time he had done something like this.

As they spoke, they followed Lu Ming toward Fenglei County.

Seeing this, the people in the surrounding caravans all kept their distance.

They only gathered again after Lu Ming and the others left, and then passed through the roadblock one by one.

Before dark, we finally returned to the mansion.

As soon as they arrived in the backyard, they saw Zhao Shi and Li Xirou sitting under a tree, looking out with some concern.

"call!"

Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them return.

Wang Yue excitedly stepped forward and said, "It's all solved. Brother-in-law is a real expert. He looks much better than my dad."

"You child, how can you talk about your own father like that?" Zhao said, both amused and exasperated.

However, I was quite happy to hear that the matter had been resolved.

She was furious at her husband for being so cruel to their daughter.

But this matter concerns the whole family.

"Hurry up and eat, Mom cooked for you today," came Li Xi's soft, sweet voice.

Lu Ming nodded.

"Okay, then let's try my mother-in-law's cooking today."

"Brother-in-law, do you have any wine?" Wang Yue asked, rubbing his hands together.

"Yes, of course I do," Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then, he instructed the maid to fetch the wine.

A moment later, a variety of food and drinks were served.

After Lu Ming and Wang Yue toasted each other, Lu Ming looked at his happy wife and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she's happy, it's all worth it.

After dinner that evening, everyone went to rest.

Inside the room, Li Xirou quietly approached Lu Ming's side. "Husband, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you," Lu Ming said softly.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, he couldn't resist.

Then, the red candles were blown out, and a captivating voice rang out.

In the following days, Lu Ming did almost nothing but spend time with Li Xirou's family.

Sometimes they go hunting, and sometimes they wander around the neighborhood.

Before they knew it, the day had come for the Zhao family to leave.

After the carriage and guards were all prepared, Zhao Shi and Li Xiyao still couldn't help but tear up.

Standing at the door, reluctant to leave.

Tears also welled up in Li Xirou's eyes.

"Xi Rou, take care of yourself. I'll come to see you again next time." After saying this, Madam Zhao got into the carriage.

"Sister, don't worry, Mom and I will definitely come again next time. We'll bring my little sister with us; that girl calls your name every day."

After watching the two of them get into the carriage.

Li Xirou waved her hand.

Lu Ming patted Wang Yue on the shoulder and said, "Be careful on the road, take care."

"Take care, brother-in-law!" Wang Yue waved his hand, and the whip struck the horse's back.

The procession moved slowly.

Lu Ming looked at his wife, who was covering her mouth and crying, and said, "Xi Rou, don't worry, we're so close, we can see each other anytime."

After hearing his gentle words of comfort.

Li Xirou nodded.

They did not return to the mansion until the group had completely disappeared.

When he sent his wife back to the inner quarters.

Lu Ming then brought Zhang Meng over.

"Have we recruited enough people?" I've been spending time with Li Xirou's family lately, so I've left the military affairs to Zhang Meng and his team.

"My lord, we have recruited enough people, a full two thousand. However, we were afraid of disturbing the noble family of the lady, so we haven't let them come here for the past two days."

Zhang Meng said cautiously.

Lu Ming nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's find another place in the county town and set up a military camp that can accommodate 10,000 people."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Meng replied hastily.

As for where to open up new territory, Lu Ming didn't need to say anything.

Zhang Meng would naturally handle it perfectly.

After all, the opponent now is a centurion.

Not to mention Fenglei County, even if he went to the prefectural city, he would be a figure of some importance.

"How much silver did you bring back from Luca last time?"

"A full five thousand three hundred taels has already been deposited into the account."

Zhang Meng quickly replied.

Lu Ming's face showed satisfaction.

Although there are two thousand more people, with the money earned from the road checkpoints, there should still be some left over each month.

"Tell the brothers to train hard. Now that we have more slots, whoever reaches the Body Tempering Realm first can become a formal member of the Cloud Banner Army."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Meng replied and then withdrew at Lu Ming's signal.

Meanwhile, the other party had returned to their private quarters.

He planned to exchange for another trial scroll to try.

Although he has now become a captain as he wished, he feels even more uneasy.

Now, rebellions are breaking out everywhere, but Hongdu Prefecture is relatively peaceful, and the quietness is somewhat eerie.

He felt that this was the calm before the storm.

Therefore, it is very necessary to improve one's self-cultivation.

If something really happens, it's clear that relying solely on the officials in the prefectural city won't be enough.

After entering the training room, I opened the data panel.

Not bad. After killing those people at the Moyun Village roadblock, my points increased by more than 100,000.

It has now reached 200,000.

Then, without hesitation, he directly exchanged a scroll.
