Chapter 147: A group of people join the gang, and disaster is brewing

After parting ways with Fan Hongsheng and others, Geng Xuan did not immediately lead his team to Wanpingji.

Instead, he did something that made everyone present feel very confused.

He stopped the entire team in front of a dirt slope several miles away from Fengzefang.

At this moment, including himself, there were a total of eighty-one riders in the team.

In addition to the eighty riders of the Giant Bear Gang, there is also the guide, Mr. Chai.

The eighty riders of the so-called Giant Bear Gang are actually divided into four parts.

There are only nineteen real members of the Giant Bear Gang, excluding Geng Xuan.

Hong Quan, Cheng Hui, Xie Hang and others are among them. These nineteen people are considered the nineteen strongest people in the Giant Bear Gang.

——Counting Xie Hang's sister who is still at the threshold of skin refining, Hong Quan's wife who is only at the flesh refining stage, Cheng Hui's brother, and Zhang Ming who has broken through the blood refining stage but is half paralyzed, there are only forty-one people in the Giant Bear Gang now.

The remaining sixty people were "carefully selected" from the sixty-two people captured from Wu Youxin's logistics convoy, including twenty people headed by Gu Laosi.

The five strongest people are only at the Blood Refining level, while the remaining fifteen are at the Flesh Refining level.

Among the other forty people, there are six powerful people in the Marrow Refining Realm.

Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng are both in the middle stage of marrow refining, and there are four others in the early stage of marrow refining. They are the most important confidants of the two who control Santongji and Qingyuanji.

The reason why Geng Xuan brought them with him was not because he needed their strength, but because only he could suppress these people and make them behave themselves.

These people all knew of his terrifying strength and cruel heart, and his way of thinking was different from that of normal people.

- In short, in the eyes of these self-proclaimed normal people, Geng Xuan has some incomprehensible and unfathomable "mental illness" attributes.

So, no matter what their original style of behavior was in Santongji and Qingyuanji.

As long as Geng Xuan was around, they behaved very well and honestly. They would go east when told to go east or west when told to go west, and would not do anything out of the ordinary.

The remaining thirty-four people were all "selected" by Geng Xuan from Fang Jintang's cavalry, based on the concentration of red names from high to low.

Among them, there are four in the Bone Refining Realm, seventeen in the Blood Refining Realm, and the remaining thirteen all have only the cultivation level of the Flesh Refining Realm.

Let everyone stop in front of the earthen slope not far from Fengzefang and get off their horses.

Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the other eighty people one by one, and finally landed on Hong Quan and asked:

"Do you have the Giant Bear Order with you?"

Hong Quan nodded and said, "Yes, you specifically told Luo Qing about this before we went to Yixianxia last time. Before we set off this time, he specially took out a box of Giant Bear Orders and handed them to me."

"How many?" Geng Xuan asked.

"One hundred." Hong Quan said.

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "Is it a problem for you to preside over a gang initiation ceremony right now?"

Although I was wondering why the gang leader would do this at this time.

But Hong Quan thought about the Giant Bear Gang's ridiculously simple initiation ceremony and nodded directly:

"No problem, but it might take some time."

Geng Xuan said, "It's okay. It's the middle of the Xu hour (8pm), so as long as we can finish it before the end of the Hai hour (11pm), it'll be fine."

Hong Quan nodded and said, "That's fine with me."

"Then go and prepare." Geng Xuan said.

Hong Quan was stunned for a moment and asked the most crucial question:
"Boss, how many people are you planning to recruit into the Giant Bear Gang this time?"

So Geng Xuan gave him some advice in a low voice.

Listening to his gang leader's story, Hong Quan's expression changed dramatically.

Originally, Hong Quan, who had always been "firmly convinced" and "unwavering" in his gang leader, gradually began to develop a disrespectful thought in his heart.

"My boss, is your brain really fine?"

Although he had such disrespectful thoughts in his mind, Hong Quan still obediently followed the orders of his gang leader and went to prepare.

Under the questioning gazes of others, Hong Quan began an operation that no one could understand.

He first pulled the fifteen people in Gu Laosi's team who were only at the Flesh Refining Realm to the front, which was also the position closest to Geng Xuan, and lined them up in a row.

Next, among the thirty-four people who came from the Santongji guards, thirteen of them, whose cultivation was also only at the Flesh Refining Realm, were arranged by him behind the front row.

Thirteen people formed the second row, aligned to the left of the front row, and stood neatly.

The twenty-eight people in these two rows closest to Geng Xuan are the ones with the lowest cultivation and strength among the eighty-one people present.

Compared with Luo Qing and others before entering the underground, they are still a little worse.

Behind these two rows of people were five people including Gu Laosi who came from Wu Youxin's team and had reached the Blood Refining Realm.

The five people were lined up alone in the third row, also aligned to the left.

Compared with the fifteen people in the first row and the thirteen people in the second row, the third row consisting of only five people looks extremely unsightly.

Although no one knew what Hong Quan was going to do under the instructions of the gang leader, people like Gu Laosi who were in the situation were all obedient and waiting to be controlled.

Just do whatever you are told.

Following Gu Laosi and the other five, seventeen people who came from the Santong Guards and all had the cultivation level of Blood Refining Realm were arranged in the fourth row.

This fourth row is also the row with the largest number of people so far.

At this moment, everyone saw it.

Hong Quan was sorting these people according to the time they were captured and the strength of their cultivation.

However, it is easy for them to understand that the sooner they are captured, the closer they are to "Boss Su".

However, the lower the strength of the cultivation, the closer they are to "Boss Su", which makes everyone feel incomprehensible.

Regardless of what others thought, Hong Quan arranged the four people who also came from the Santongji Guards and were at the Bone Refining Realm in the fifth row, which was also the last row he arranged.

Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng, the other four people in the early stage of the Marrow Refining Realm, and Mr. Chai, all just watched in confusion.

After arranging the five uneven rows, Hong Quan arranged Cheng Hui, Xie Hang, and other members of the Giant Bear Gang to spread out among the rows and explained to them the precautions they should take when joining the gang.

Because the Giant Bear Gang's joining ceremony is very simple, it can be explained clearly in just a few words.

After Hong Quan himself made a final personal confirmation, the gang initiation ceremony, which confused everyone except Geng Xuan himself, officially began.

Hong Quan first counted out fifty-four Giant Bear Orders from the box, corresponding to five rows of fifty-four people.

Then, the fifty-four Giant Bear Orders were neatly placed on five trays according to the number of five rows of people, and each was held by a designated official gang member.

Then Cheng Hui, Xie Hang and three others distributed the Giant Bear Order to each person one by one.

But from the first row to the fifth row, when everyone respectfully took the Giant Bear Order with both hands, they did not take any further action, but continued to hold the small bronze order in their palms with both hands.

Hong Quan, standing next to Geng Xuan, glanced back and forth. After receiving the gazes of Cheng Hui, Xie Hang, and the others and confirming that everyone had received the Giant Bear Order, he turned to look at Geng Xuan and asked:

"Boss, we're ready."

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Let's get started."

Hong Quan clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Yes, Gang Leader."

Then, he turned to look at the group holding the Giant Bear Order and said in a deep voice, "First row, receive the order!"

After hearing the order, the fifteen people in the first row holding the bronze order immediately took action.

They quickly tied the giant bear order in their hands firmly around their waists.

After everyone had finished, Hong Quan shouted loudly, "Kneel!"

The fifteen people with the giant bear orders tied around their waists immediately knelt on the ground in unison, shouting in unison.

"Gang leader!"

At this moment, they were facing the direction where they were kneeling, and there was a huge fire burning.

Geng Xuan stood in front of the fire, facing the crowd and accepting their kneeling worship.

In the eyes of these people, they could only see the bright burning fire and the vague outline of the man standing with his back to the fire.

They couldn't see clearly, nor did they dare to see his facial features.

Under the natural twisting and dancing of the blazing flames, the vague outline of the shadow seemed to twist and dance along with it.

And projected this distorted and grotesque image into their minds, which happened to overlap with their imagination of this man.

Therefore, whether it was those who were kneeling or those who were standing solemnly in the back row holding the giant bear order, the thoughts in their hearts became purer.

While the others were feeling awed and weird by the scene before them, Geng Xuan, after accepting the kneeling worship from the first row of people, focused his thoughts on the "Flint Bead".

When the realization of "getting three points of Baiyun" emerged in his mind, Geng Xuan discovered that another "power" appeared within the "flint bead".

It seemed as if it would be deposited in this flint bead just like the 2,517 good fortunes and 657 bad fortunes.

However, compared with the accumulation of good luck and bad luck, this "power" is really too small.

At the same time, some of the black luck deposited within the "flint bead" was activated.

The next moment, the "power" representing white luck and the corresponding black luck that was triggered all dissipated within the "flint bead".

Disappearing does not mean being completely annihilated.

Geng Xuan saw clearly that the black luck that was attracted spread out of the "Flint Pearl".

However, Geng Xuan was not very clear about where the "power" representing Bai Yun eventually went.

Geng Xuan was not in a hurry about this.

Turning his attention away from the Flint Pearl, Geng Xuan looked at Hong Quan, who was looking at him questioningly. "Continue," he said softly.

So, Hong Quan said, "Second row, take orders!"

The second row held the Giant Bear Order, and all of them were thirteen people at the Flesh Refining Realm. After receiving the order, they immediately followed the example of the people in the first row and quickly tied the Giant Bear Order around their waists.

After all these people had tied the giant bear order and stood up straight again, Hong Quan immediately said, "Kneel!"

The thirteen people knelt on the ground in unison and shouted in unison.

"Gang leader!"

【Two points of good fortune are gained. 】

Another "force" representing Bai Yun appeared in the "Flint Pearl", and its size was even smaller than before.

This time, Geng Xuan no longer paid attention to the situation of black luck, and focused all his energy on these two points of white luck.

Geng Xuan finally knew where Bai Yun had gone, who had not been able to settle in the "Flint Pearl" and disappeared.

Like melting ice and snow, it disappeared inside the "flint bead".

Not annihilation.

Because all his energy was focused on these two points of Baiyun, when they disappeared, Geng Xuan could vaguely feel that around their disappearance, the essence of the "Flint Bead" had undergone a slight change.

It seems as if the capacity has increased, and as if the background has been enhanced.

Geng Xuan himself was unable to describe the specific changes, but because of the deep rituals and refinements, the "Flint Bead" was now like an extra organ.

Therefore, no matter how small the changes happening inside him were, Geng Xuan could still sense them as long as he paid enough attention.

This discovery made Geng Xuan very happy.

A doubt that had been hanging in my heart was finally resolved.

Before this, Geng Xuan was actually confused about one thing.

Since he became a guard at the vendor market and received his first point of white luck, he has now received a total of more than 40 points of white luck.

It also offset the more than 40 points of bad luck in the "Flint Bead".

Where did all that disappeared bad luck go?
This is easy to understand. They have turned into various kinds of "disasters" and have been completely released on the real level through different groups of people and different events.

So, what about the lost luck?

It can't just disappear out of thin air, right?
Apart from anything else, to date, most of Bai's luck has been obtained by developing and strengthening the Giant Bear Gang.

Although it has only been two or three months since its establishment, it has been plagued by disasters.

However, each "disaster" did not defeat the Giant Bear Gang, but instead made the Giant Bear Gang stronger and stronger.

Then, according to his understanding of Baiyun, it is impossible for these Baiyun to completely disappear.

If the white luck disappears every time as the black luck decreases accordingly, it means that there is a huge deviation in his previous understanding of the white luck.

Now, after actual observation, Geng Xuan finally confirmed that Bai Yun had indeed disappeared, but was not annihilated.

Instead, it is integrated into the essence of "Flint Bead" in another form.

Moreover, based on Geng Xuan's observations and insights, he felt that from the perspective of "Flint Pearl", the value of white luck was higher than that of red luck and black luck.

Because from the perspective of "flint beads", whether it is good luck or bad luck, it is just equivalent to a special deposit.

"Flint beads" are special containers for storing them.

However, Bai Yun integrated into the "Flint Bead" itself, and what was added was the "Flint Bead" itself.

This discovery made Geng Xuan feel relieved.

This shows that there was no fundamental error in his understanding of Bai Yun.

In addition, Geng Xuan also found it very interesting.

Previously, based on the nature of good luck, bad luck and white luck, Geng Xuan felt that good luck was the most special one.

Black luck and white luck are relatively similar, and even have a sense of two sides of the same coin.

But now, if you look at it from the perspective of "Flint Bead", Bai Yun is the most special one.

On the contrary, good luck and bad luck, which are both "deposits", are the most similar in nature.

But if you look at it from another angle, Black Luck is the most special one.

If we compare them, bad luck is "poisoning", while white luck and red luck are both "gains".

The latter two are obviously closer in nature.

Just when Geng Xuan was "playing" with this triangle relationship in his mind, Hong Quan's soft calls of "Boss" and "Boss" brought Geng Xuan back to reality from his thoughts.

Seeing Hong Quan's attitude, Geng Xuan said softly, "Continue."

After receiving the response, Hong Quan looked forward again and shouted, "Third row, receive the order!"

In the third row, there were only five people, including Gu Laosi.

There are much fewer people than the first two rows, but they are all in the Blood Refining Realm, and their cultivation is one level higher than the first two rows.

The five of them could hardly wait to tie the Giant Bear Order around their waists.

Being under pressure from the "mentally ill gang leader" is certainly one of the factors.

But on the other hand, they certainly could not truly understand the deep meaning of Hong Quan's confusing operations under the instructions of "Boss Su".

But as the former subordinates in the first two rows who were only at the Flesh Refining Realm formally joined the Giant Bear Gang one after another, Gu Laosi and others gradually understood.

If all this trouble was not just formalism that they could not understand, the opportunity to formally join the Giant Bear Gang tonight might not be available to all five rows or fifty-four people!
There is a high possibility that tonight's surprise gang recruitment will suddenly stop after reaching a certain row.

Originally, those who had no desire to join the Giant Bear Gang and even felt a little resistant to it, felt inexplicably panicked after realizing this.

Although, the Giant Bear Gang, especially the gang leader whose behavior was a little too unpredictable, challenged their past cognition.

But given the opportunity to become an official gang member, who would be willing to be a prisoner?

What's more, no matter how "unreasonable" the existence of the Giant Bear Gang is, the monthly salary is real.

Moreover, in a horizontal comparison, with the same level of cultivation strength, the monthly salary they can get from the Giant Bear Gang is far more generous than any other force they know.

This alone is enough to offset their various unreliable perceptions of the Giant Bear Gang.

Another thing is that the former subordinates and younger brothers have officially become members of the Giant Bear Gang, but if they fail to officially join the gang, they will continue to stay in the gang as captives.

Just thinking about that situation makes people feel a sense of urgency.

When the thirteen people in the second row officially joined the gang and knelt down to pay homage to "Boss Su".

Hong Quan called out several times, but "Boss Su" seemed to be in a trance and did not signal to continue.

Gu Laosi and the other five people standing in the third row felt their hearts were in their throats.

Therefore, when "Boss Su" finally said "continue" and Hong Quan also shouted "the third row receives the order", Gu Laosi and the other five people all completed the wearing of the Giant Bear Order as quickly as possible.

"kneel!"

As Hong Quan shouted again, Gu Laosi and the other five immediately knelt down on the ground in unison, shouting loudly.

"Gang leader!"

【Two points of good fortune are gained. 】

Hong Quan cast an inquiring look at Geng Xuan again, but Geng Xuan did not respond immediately. Instead, he began to think.

This time, the reason why he gave such a strange explanation to Hong Quan.

One purpose is to take the opportunity to do some tests on Bai Yun.

He was worried that only one chance to gain enlightenment was not enough.

Then let's adjust the details of the initiation ceremony and do it more often.

This method is easy to think of.

Furthermore, another reason for doing this was that Geng Xuan wanted to more precisely control the White Luck points, thereby indirectly controlling the release of Black Luck points. He was somewhat surprised that the first row of fifteen Flesh Refining Realm cultivators only brought three White Luck points.

After the second row joined the gang, it only brought him two points of luck.

Geng Xuan, on the other hand, gradually came to his senses.

Although there are two fewer people in the second row, only thirteen, but because they are from the Santongji guards, their actual combat capabilities should be stronger than the fifteen people in the first row.

But the result was that the luck they brought after joining the gang was actually a little less than that of the first row of fifteen people after they joined the gang.

Geng Xuan understood that the improvement of an organization's fortune, although directly proportional to the number of personnel and scale, was not a linear relationship.

But as time goes on, with the same number and quality of gang members added, Bai Yun's gains will gradually become smaller.

Geng Xuan had a feeling that good luck and bad luck actually followed a similar pattern.

For example, a person who brought him forty points of good luck died directly or indirectly at his hands.

Compared to someone who brings him twenty points of good luck, it is not a simple double relationship.

Killing one person may result in the sin of killing being equivalent to five points of good luck.

If one kills one hundred people, the sin of killing that person will bear will be much more than five points, but it will never reach the level of five hundred points.

There must be some pattern here, but what kind of pattern does it follow?

Thinking of this, Geng Xuan's limited mathematical knowledge helped him to get out of this "abyss".

"It seems that if we simply stick to one organization from the perspective of gaining more luck, it really isn't a good idea."

Put it in an organization that was built from scratch, taking the Giant Bear Gang as a reference when it was first established.

There are five people in the Blood Refining Realm and twenty-eight people in the Flesh Refining Realm. Geng Xuan estimated that the white luck they can provide can exceed ten points.

But now, adding them all up, the free luck provided by these people is only seven points.

The seven points of white luck correspond to the release of seven points of black luck.

Geng Xuan thought about the effects of different Black Luck Points in the past, and after careful consideration, he said to Hong Quan, who was waiting for his response:

"Take in seven more people."

Hong Quan was stunned for a moment, then turned and said loudly to the seventeen people in the fourth row who were also eagerly waiting:

"Fourth row, from left to right, seven people, take orders!"

This time, some are happy and some are sad.

The seven people who were given permission to "accept the order" were almost crying with joy, and they quickly tied the giant bear order in their hands around their waists.

The other ten people, however, stood there in a daze, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

When Xie Hang and Cheng Hui took the trays and took away the Giant Bear Orders from the remaining people, everyone seemed to hear the sound of their own hearts breaking.

Hong Quan, however, had no intention of understanding their feelings. After the seven people tied the giant bear order around their waists, he immediately said loudly:

"kneel!"

"Gang leader!"

The seven people knelt on the ground in unison and shouted in unison.

【Two points of good fortune are gained. 】

Almost at the same time, two more points of bad luck disappeared.

From then on, Geng Xuan gained a total of nine points of white luck that night and released nine points of black luck.

At the same time, the Giant Bear Gang added forty new members.

Among them, there are twenty-eight in the Flesh Refining Realm and twelve in the Blood Refining Realm.

Geng Xuan said to Hong Quan:

"I'll give you an hour to put it all together.

For tonight's operation, all members of the Giant Bear Gang must be on the front lines!"

Geng Xuan's instructions did not avoid anyone, and everyone heard them clearly.

Another bolt from the blue struck the crowd.

However, the blow just now hit the heads of those people whose Giant Bear Orders were taken away by Cheng Hui, Xie Hang and others and who were unable to take the opportunity to join the gang.

But this time, it struck the heads of the new gang members who had just tied the giant bear order firmly around their waists and felt that their whole spirit had been greatly sublimated.

It’s not that official gang members shouldn’t go to the front line, but according to traditional practice, isn’t it always the tamed captives who rush to the front, followed by their own people?

How could they let a group of prisoners stand aside while their own people rush to the front line to fight?
The new gang members felt a little dazed, but the old gang members didn't feel anything.

There was no other way. They were fortunate enough to follow their gang leader and walk behind him all the way. They had long been numb to all kinds of "unusual" arrangements.

Faced with so many "unreasonable" things, thinking too much is actually useless.

When everyone was finding the absurd behavior of "Boss Su" "unreasonable", naturally no one would think about why Geng Xuan gave a full hour of rest time.

"Let the bullets fly for a while." Geng Xuan said softly in his heart.

……

Just when Geng Xuan was recruiting new members to join the Giant Bear Gang and gave them an integration deadline of one hour.

It was in Fengzefang, not too far from them.

In a mansion that is far more spacious and luxurious than the houses where other residents live.

A young maid, who had just had a secret affair with her lover and whose blush had not yet completely faded, hurried into a bedroom.

A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties, with a lot of makeup on her face, and whose figure and appearance would have allowed her to be considered a beauty when she was young, was sitting in front of her dressing table, taking off the complicated ornaments on her head one by one.

Seeing the young maid come in, the middle-aged woman started to curse:
"You little slut, why don't you come and help me remove my makeup?

You disappear when it's time to do serious work. If you really don't want to do it, I'll send you to Yihonglou and let those men serve you!"

When the young maid heard this, her face suddenly froze and her heart began to tremble.

Her thoughts turned, and she suddenly remembered the "story" her lover had whispered to her just now.

She immediately suppressed her panic and put on a sad and serious expression.

He walked quickly to the middle-aged woman, and while removing her makeup, he whispered:

"Grandma, it's not that I'm late on purpose.

Just now I went to the master's study to serve tea and unexpectedly heard a great piece of news.

Because this matter concerns the life and safety of Master Mingrui, I deliberately stayed a little longer, which is why I arrived late."

The old woman, who had been so sarcastic to the maid behind her just a moment ago, immediately changed her expression after hearing these words.

Even my body couldn't help but tremble.

Although she didn't care much about what was happening outside, she knew that Fengzefang was very unusual today.

There are many fatal things happening.

However, she thought that these things had nothing to do with her as a woman.

Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it is not something she can decide or influence.

Therefore, her mentality was surprisingly calm. She ate when she was supposed to, slept when she was supposed to, and didn't worry about anything extra.

But now, her calmness has disappeared.

"Tell me in detail, what happened that involves my son Mingrui?"

The woman didn't even remove her makeup. She turned her head and stared at the maid in front of her. Her eyes became sharp and sinister, and she said viciously:
"If you tell me such a lie, I'll immediately marry you to Cripple Bear!"

The maid was so frightened when she heard this that she immediately fell to her knees.

"Grandma, I don't have the guts to tell you a lie!"

That lame bear was not only lame, but also very ugly, with buck teeth and dirty mouth. He talked about women in dirty ways every three sentences and never took a bath all year round.

However, relying on his good driving skills and having driven for the owner of the monastery several times, he went to the owner's house with a shameless face and wanted to marry a young and beautiful maid.

At that time, I was directly scolded back by the "grandmother" in front of me.

If she were really promised to such a man, the maid thought, she might as well die.

She knelt on the ground, crawled to the old woman on her knees, and began to speak quickly and fluently.

She quickly recounted the news she had heard from her lover.

First, it tells the story of how "Young Master Mingrui" fell into a trap set by Wanpingji and his vitals were grasped.

Then, under the coercion of a group of bad guys from Wanpingji, this "Young Master Mingrui" helped to steal the children of nearly a hundred families in the neighborhood.

He also used his identity to secretly transport all these people out of Fengzefang and delivered them to Wan Pingji.

Then it was transferred to Wuyou Palace by Wan Pingji.

“I heard that Wuyou Palace is a place like a devil’s den.

Good women would be sent to brothels or sold to wealthy families as playthings.

Men were either castrated, made into rabbit figurines, or had their limbs broken and forced to beg on the streets.”

Perhaps it was because of her class sentiment that the maidservant couldn't help but complain about something that had nothing to do with "Young Master Mingrui" when she told the story here.

The old woman had no intention of caring about these things at the moment.

Her face was pale, and she murmured:
"No, no, although my son Mingrui is a bit naughty, he would never do such a thing.

Someone must have wronged him... Yes, someone must have wronged him!"

As she spoke, her eyes became more and more determined.

By the end, she seemed to have completely convinced that her cub was a naive and kind baby who was often deceived by bad people.

Regarding this, the maidservant who had other opinions in her heart did not refute anything, but just whispered:
"But the master has already sent people everywhere to search for him. He also said that once 'Young Master Mingrui' is found, he will be tied up and taken to the big drying yard and beaten to death in front of all the residents."

The old woman was so frightened when she heard this that her body trembled violently.

Completely at her wit's end, she looked once again at the maid kneeling in front of her, and an inexplicable hatred and malice welled up in her heart.

He scolded, "Such important news, why did you tell me now?"

The maid thought in her heart, if I told you this right away, you who believed that Liang Mingrui was a good person would tear my mouth apart immediately!
She argued in her heart, but said:
"Grandma, please go to the master and beg for mercy. You are the only one who can save Master Mingrui now!"

The old woman was startled, but she reacted immediately and didn't bother to get angry with a maid.

"Yes, yes, save my son, save my son!"

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed, and for once she expressed her true feelings in front of a maid:

“It’s useless to ask Liang Wenying for help on this matter.

This old guy is a heartless and ungrateful person at heart.

If I were still young, with my beauty back then, perhaps I could have asked for a favor from him.

Now, he wishes I were dead immediately!"

Even as she complained, her brain, which had been idle for years, never stopped working.

Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said:
"I can't let that old bastard Liang Wenying find my son first. I have to tell him the news before he does, so he can run for his life!
After this incident is over, perhaps this old man will still remember that blood is thicker than water and forgive him.

At this critical moment, in order to appease the anger of the people, he will never let him go!"

The maid nodded quickly and said, "Grandma is right. We must inform Master Mingrui as soon as possible."

The old woman nodded, but then asked, "Where is my son Mingrui now?"

The maid was dumbfounded, then shook her head and said:

"Grandma, I don't know where Master Mingrui is now. However, Master hasn't found him yet, so he probably isn't in the neighborhood."

The old woman nodded, but her eyes showed deep thought.

The brain, which has been idle for many years, is becoming more and more intelligent as it is put into use.

When her eyes swept over the maid's young, smooth, and disgusting skin again, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, and she said:
“I know, he must be in Wanpingji now!
My son cooperated with them in doing so many things, it is impossible that he was just coerced.

If I'm right, he must still be with that harmful vixen!"

The maid rolled her eyes in her heart and thought, don’t you know your baby very well?
This is not a lustful wolf, this is a lustful ghost.

For the sake of women, he can throw everything behind him!
Just as the maid was complaining in her heart, the old woman had already set her eyes on her again.

The maid inexplicably felt something was wrong.

But the old woman had already spoken.

"Immediately send someone to Wanpingji to inform Mingrui and tell him to hide!

Don't go back to Fengzefang until this storm is over!"

The maid was dumbfounded and said, "Grandma, I... I don't have the ability to do this!"

The old woman stared at her, but suddenly her eyes turned cold, she moved closer and whispered:
"I know you have a lover with the master. If you can't do anything, he must have a way."

The maid felt a chill down her spine when she heard this.

The old woman looked at the frightened maid, sneered in her heart, and continued:
"If you do as I tell you this time, I will immediately agree to your marriage with your lover, and I will also give you a decent dowry.

If you fail and my son Mingrui loses his life, I will chop you and your lover into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

“…”Maid.

……

Soon, a pale, staggering maid ran out of the mansion.

Not long after, she and a man hid in a remote corner and whispered to each other.

After a while, we arrived at the side door of Fengzefang.

The man who was whispering with the maid was standing with another tall young man with a childish face and some fuzz on his lips.

The man took out a silver bar from his bosom, put it in the young man's hand, and whispered, "Go quickly and come back soon."

The young man took the silver bar and said excitedly: "Don't worry, brother!"

As he spoke, he had already climbed onto the horse.

Just as he was about to whip the horse, the man suddenly pulled the reins and whispered:

“Don’t take the main road, and don’t run into the hands of those riding Xuanyou horses.

It doesn't matter if you take the side path and waste some time.

Whether it succeeds or not, you must come back and give me a definite answer!"

The young man grinned and said:
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely make this happen for you. I promise that you will be able to celebrate the New Year with your sister-in-law in your arms!"

The man cursed with a smile, patted the horse on the butt, and said, "Okay, go."

Soon, with the sound of a few horse hooves, the young man on the horse disappeared into the night.

The man took one last look and turned back to Fengzefang.

……

And just before and after a crucial conversation took place between the maid of the Liang Mansion in Fengzefang and the old woman.

Another incident was taking place in Wanpingji, nearly thirty miles northwest of Fengzefang.

In a huge mansion in Wanpingji, two men and women with outstanding temperaments, accompanied by a man, walked past iron cages one by one.

Inside the iron cages, there were men and women who were either dejected or frightened.

Among them, the oldest is seventeen or eighteen years old.

The youngest one is only eleven or twelve years old.

Finally, the three of them stopped in front of an iron cage.

In this iron cage, a skinny girl, whose face and hands looked dirty because too much dust had been deliberately touched on her, was curled up in a corner.

At this moment, seeing the three people outside the iron cage looking at her as if they were looking at goods on the shelf, the girl could not help but squeeze further into the already tightly packed iron cage behind her, as if she wished she could be completely trapped between those iron bars.

Her legs, which were covered in patched trousers, were pressed together tightly and curled up in front of her, with her hands tightly wrapped around her calves.

Under those pairs of gazes that made her feel extremely frightened, she wished she could bury her head completely.

She was terrified and confused. She had already done so much disguise. Moreover, even if she washed her face, there were many captives who looked better than her in every way.

But why did they keep staring at her?

However, she didn't know that in Wuyou Palace, in order to reach the top, in addition to the hard indicator of cultivation strength, what is more important is to have a pair of eyes that can see through the skin.

The three people standing outside the iron cage are the best among them.

Naturally, they would not be fooled by the girl's clumsy disguise and her appearance which had not yet fully developed due to the limitations of age and nutrition.

The man standing in the front watched for a while, and then the man behind him asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

The man nodded and said, "If they can be trained for a few years, Zuichunlou's position will be secure within the next ten years. We won't have to worry about challenges from those other families."

The enchanting woman following behind her giggled and covered her mouth with her hands, saying, "Thank you, Right Deputy Envoy, for your kind words... Since you are so optimistic about me, I hope you will come and look after me more often in the future."
