Time is like water, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In Luoshui County, Seven Forms Sect has completely established its foothold.
Not only has several shops been opened, but the animal material business is also booming.
Under Lin Sheng's instructions, the distribution of various animal materials was quite restrained. However, because most of them were Spirit Beast materials, they inevitably attracted the attention of some local indigenous forces and secretly sent people to check their whereabouts.
Of course the final result is also very simple.
Lin Sheng directly found the headquarters of these local forces and controlled their core members with Seed Demon Secret Technique.
After half a month, the local forces in Luoshui County City have basically become his people.
Inner City district, a spacious mansion with luxurious decoration.
There are many rockeries in the mansion, and a hundred red koi carps spit out bubbles from time to time in the pond in the courtyard.
In the main hall, Lin Sheng, the man with the golden sword, is sitting in the upper position.
Below, two people were kneeling on one knee.
The two of them are middle-aged. The one on the left is strong and muscular, like an iron tower. He has an eyepatch on his right eye, and he is clearly a one-eyed man.
The other person was dressed in brocade clothes and had a slender figure, but she was a middle-aged woman with ordinary facial features, heavy makeup on her face, and a sense of charm about her body.
These two people are the leaders of the two major forces in Luoshui County city besides the county government.
The man who is as strong as an iron tower is Luoshui County Haihe Gang, the gang leader, Tie He.
Basically controls more than 80% of the shipping business in Luoshui County.
The charming middle-aged woman is the landlord of Luoshui County Red Flower Tower, Mei Sanniang, who controls many business industries in Luoshui County, especially the gray industry.
And it was Mei Sanniang who was the first to secretly investigate Seven Forms Sect.
"Sir, the black leopard shipped from Haichuan County has arrived at the dock. It should be delivered in half an hour. As for an elephant from Yongming County, it will be shipped in a few days."
Tie He looked at the superior Lin Sheng respectfully and said.
"Sir, this is the detailed income of Red Flower Tower last month. Please take a look."
Mei Sanniang on the side also spoke respectfully at this time and handed over a stack of papers in his hand.
"Not bad."
Looking at the two of them, Lin Sheng nodded slightly.
The strength of these two people is not weak, they both have the strength of Bone Transformation Fourth Layer, and they have already entered mid Bone Transformation.
I have to admit that the quality of the warriors in this Luoshui County city is significantly better than that of the original Lin'an County.
Or to put it directly, the quality of the warriors of Tiannan Prefecture is much higher than that of Linjiang Prefecture.
The gap in combat power at the top may not be that big, but the quality gap between the middle and lower level warriors is indeed not that small.
But it's normal if you think about it carefully. The area of Tiannan Prefecture is much larger than that of Linjiang Prefecture. Especially the water transportation is developed, which also means that it is more prosperous. This situation is not surprising.
After controlling the two forces Haihe Gang and Red Flower Tower, the efficiency of searching for their starting target Spirit Beast has been greatly increased, and the transportation speed is also faster through faster water transportation.
This made him quite satisfied.
Glancing at the running water coming from Mei Sanniang city, Lin Sheng showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Without him, Red Flower Tower's monthly turnover would be more than 300,000 taels of silver, and the profit would be as much as hundreds of thousands taels.
This was far beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that Luoshui County would have so much oil and water.
However, considering the population of Luoshui County City, it is not too exaggerated.
Coupled with the profits from Haihe Gang and Congyun Mountain Range, his monthly income now amounts to 300,000 taels.
Although there is still a big gap compared to the Seven Forms Sect at the time of Wanhua City, it is definitely a huge sum of money.
"Okay, let's get down."
After a quick glance, Lin Sheng waved his hand for the two of them to leave.
"Seed Demon Secret Technique is really easy to use."
Watching the two people leave, Lin Sheng couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.
Now he has both money and people.
The rest of the time is just about practicing with peace of mind.
This kind of ordinary life is naturally different from the previous wandering life.
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind outside, falling on the window edge.
Falling through the window edge into the hall.
Lin Sheng glanced at it, and what fell on the ground was a pebble.
He sucked the pebble into his hand, and with a little force, the pebble shattered, revealing the note hidden inside.
After a quick glance, a smile appeared on his face.
Then the figure disappeared from the spot.
*
A dusty carriage drove into the county town and stopped outside a wide courtyard in Outer City.
"Okay, this is it."
The driver was a thin old man with a somewhat wretched appearance. The old man held a riding crop in one hand and a pipe and pot in the other while talking, taking a big sip from time to time.
At the other end of the carriage lay a lazy bald-tailed Da Huang dog. The Da Huang dog's head was lowered. Although it was looking forward, its eyes occasionally glanced at the old man puffing away smoke beside him.
Soon a group of people got off the carriage, and Six Fiends of Red Mountain had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and respectfully welcomed the group in.
"Daddy, grandma..."
As soon as everyone entered, a tall figure appeared in the courtyard.
"Sheng'er!!"
After everyone turned around, they immediately shouted excitedly.
These people are naturally Lin Hong Xie Guilan.
In addition to the two people, there are Xiao Shi, Old Zhou, Wang Dehai, Cao Luan, and Cao Ying.
Looking at these familiar faces, Lin Sheng also had a smile on his face.
Da Huang barked and rushed to Lin Sheng, rubbing it hard and making a sound like a child from time to time.
Lin Sheng picked up the dog skin and threw it aside, then asked Six Fiends of Red Mountain to take out some dried animal meat and throw it away.
Da Huang The tailed demon flew up, bit into the dried meat, and began to feast on it. Feeling the nourishing feeling in these dried meats that made his blood feel hot, tears flashed faintly in his eyes.
Since leaving Lin Sheng, it has not eaten Spirit Beast meat for an unknown amount of time.
Ignoring Da Huang, Lin Sheng chatted with everyone for a long time before letting people arrange Residence's meals.
After having enough wine and food, the group took an early rest and went to bed after a long journey.
In the courtyard, there were only two people sitting opposite each other.
"Thank you, Yellow Dog."
Looking at the wretched old man opposite, Lin Sheng thanked him sincerely.
I have to admit that Dark Star organization, who joined on a whim, helped him a lot along the way.
Especially Qi Ning and Yellow Dog in front of them.
When he was traveling from Lin'an to Prefecture City, if Yellow Dog hadn't been there to see him all the way, aside from that, it would have been absolutely difficult for him at that time to deal with the demonic seed of Phantom Demon Beast.
Not to mention Qi Ning.
It can be said that Qi Ning and Blazing Star Emissary, as the real Divine Form Martial Artist, are his trump cards in many cases.
Whether it was solving Shi Gu in the first place, or Congyun Mountain Range helping out and forcing Divine Form Martial Artist from the tenth floor of the world to retreat, the other party helped him a lot.
He also benefited a lot from Dark Star's channels.
This time, Yellow Dog took a big risk by sending his family here. After all, Linjiang Prefecture's wanted intensity was unprecedented.
Yellow Dog Even though he is a warrior Bone Tempering, if something is really leaked, it is also a huge trouble for him.
"You don't have to be polite, little friend Lin. I'm here to collect your merit points. 1,000 merit points is not a small amount."
Yellow Dog had a smile on his face and looked at Lin Sheng with interest.
It can be said that he was quite surprised by the person in front of him.
He still remembers that when he first met, he didn't feel there was anything special about the other person. It was just because of the existence of Blazing Star Emissary that he paid more attention to him just now.
He didn't expect to have grown to this point now. Thinking of his achievements in the Chaoyun Mountains, even he felt like he was dreaming.
"Young friend Lin, you are now very famous in Linjiang Prefecture. Your name is also on Red List. You even directly killed the elder Jianzi of the Tianxiang Sword Sect. Mr. Huang really admires you."
"If someone wants to kill you, what can you do?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng smiled helplessly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Actually, Mr. Lin has always been kind to others, and he doesn't hesitate to Slaughter. But many times, if you don't kill them all, they will keep annoying you..."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, the wine in Yellow Dog's mouth almost spurted out. Looking at Lin Sheng's serious and somewhat emotional expression, a strange look appeared on his face.
As Hidden Star Emissary from Dark Star, he was naturally aware of the tragic situation of that battle in the Congyun Mountain Range, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Even the ashes of the great Jianzi have been scattered. You tell me you don't like Slaughter? There are not even the corpses of Jianzong Second Elder and a dozen Silver Badge Constable. You said you are kind to others..."
"Especially even Yuanyang Beast Sect's two Advanced Spirit Beast didn't run away..."
Yellow Dog Thoughts flashed through his mind, but his face nodded in recognition.
"Young Lin is right. People cannot help themselves when they are in the world. It can be said that Mr. Huang understands this very well."
"Brother Huang, practitioners should have one thought clear and not be bothered by such trivial matters. When Mr. Li succeeds in his practice in the future, Linjiang Prefecture will have to go back."
Lin Sheng put down the wine glass and spoke with a smile.
"Uh... what Xiaoyou Lin said is absolutely true. Speaking of Huang's visit to Tiannan Prefecture this time, in addition to sending little friend's family here, he also accepted other commissions from the organization. Speaking of Qianmian Blazing Star Emissary, he should also come to Tiannan Prefecture in a while."
Yellow Dog swallowed the drink and suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Senior Qian Mian is coming too?"
Lin Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Qi Ning would also come to Tiannan.
He knew that Yellow Dog's strength was at the level of late Bone Transformation.
Although they have never fought against each other, Lin Sheng can see that its strength is not weaker than Formless Sword Shi Hui, and it is definitely the best among Bone Transformation realm.
And Qi Ning is Divine Form Martial Artist, not even a weakling compared to Divine Form.
You must know that Divine Form Martial Artist is also the top existence in a land.
Even among the entire Great Yan, he is a real strong one.
Then Yellow Dog and Qi Ning both came to Tiannan Prefecture. Obviously there may be something important in Tiannan Prefecture.
Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Brother Huang, even Senior Qian Mian has taken action, Tiannan Prefecture, what's the big deal here?"
"Tiannan Prefecture's side is not necessarily so. It's actually because the war on the frontline has changed."
Yellow Dog put down the wine glass and shook his head slightly.
"War on the front lines?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng showed a touch of emotion on his face.
He didn't expect it to be a frontline war.
He actually doesn't care too much about the fighting on the front line. After all, Tiannan Prefecture is not the front line, and Nanli Prefecture is separated from him, so the impact on Tiannan is not great.
But soon he wondered again, what does the frontline war have to do with Tiannan?
As if he had guessed the question in Lin Sheng's mind, Yellow Dog didn't mean to show off and spoke directly.
"Northern Yan Southern Qi There are frequent wars between the two countries, but they are basically between brothers. But this time King Yan seems to have done something extraordinary. On the front line, the Yan army has pushed back the Qi soldiers, and has marched into Northern Barrens, occupying half of the county."
"How could this happen?"
Lin Sheng was shocked. He did not expect that the frontline war had reached this point.
Not only did they invade Northern Barrens, but they also occupied half of the county. You must know that a Southern Qi county is roughly equivalent to a Northern Yan government. How long ago did the war break out, and it has already reached this point.
You must know that the two countries have been at war for thousands of years. Although they have often invaded each other's territory, this is the first time that they have occupied half of a county in such a short period of time. After all, the two countries have heavily deployed troops on the border. Unless one side has a huge advantage, it is absolutely impossible to reach such a situation.
"Are you surprised? When I first got the news, I felt the same way. Later, after investigation, I learned that the reason why the Yan army defeated Qi soldiers was because of a special army named Shock Beast Army."
Yellow Dog said with some emotion.
"According to the organization's investigation, this Shock Beast Army is the work of the Sky Rainbow Pavilion. The reason why we came to Tiannan instead of Nanli is because there are people from the Sky Rainbow Pavilion who are now in Tiannan Prefecture."
"He should hold the secret about this Shock Beast Army. Qianmian Blazing Star Emissary and I came here just for this person."
Regarding Lin Sheng, he had no intention of hiding anything.
After listening to what he said, Lin Sheng frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Shock Beast Army..."
Thinking of the announcement of a large number of recruits in Luoshui County, as well as the generous treatment, combined with the information revealed by Yellow Dog, he now fully understood that this Shock Beast Army was obviously extremely unusual.
Able to beat Qi Bing back steadily, Shock Beast Army is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
However, the conditions written in the recruitment notice are not harsh, and are even extremely loose. There seems to be some contradiction between the two.
After saying this, Yellow Dog had no intention of staying any longer.
"Okay, I can't stay here any longer. Let's go to the Prefecture City station first and we'll meet again later."
After the words fell, Yellow Dog's figure had disappeared on the other side.
"See you later."
Lin Sheng spoke softly, watching the other person go away, but his brows were furrowed. He could feel that the Shock Beast Army water was very deep.
After a while, Lin Sheng frowned and shook his head slightly.
This Shock Beast Army has nothing to do with him. No matter how deep the water is, he just doesn't get involved.
Control Luoshui County What you should do is devote yourself to practice and improve your own strength.
Now that Lin Hong Xie Guilan is by his side, he no longer has any worries. As long as he is given time, his strength will naturally improve rapidly.
As long as you are strong enough, nothing is a problem...
