After settling Jiang Rou's matter, Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin Town to continue dealing with the unfinished business.
At the same time, it was also decided that the next direction for Great Qin to expand would be the north, because Great Qin's main plan was to first step out of Huaxia, using the Lesser Viet Kingdom as the first stepping stone.
Although Lesser Viet Kingdom is a small country, it is still a country. To seize it, we must first make arrangements, first open up the road to the Lesser Viet Kingdom, and then develop in other directions.
Eastern Azure's four restaurants had also officially opened long ago, so Zhao Fu no longer needed to handle these matters personally. "Next is some minor good news: another Skeleton General has been discovered in the underground passage."
This Skeleton General was still very powerful, but Zhao Fu's soldiers were no longer as weak as before. Li Wen combined the two exploration teams and, at the cost of a few minor injuries, successfully killed the Skeleton General.
The Skeleton General dropped five items. The first was the armor worn by the Skeleton General, which Zhao Fu directly bestowed upon Li Wen. The second was the sword in the Skeleton General's hand, called the Flowing Cloud Sword, which had the same attributes as Bai Qi's previous Star-Slaying Sword. Zhao Fu gave this sword to Wang Jian.
The next two items include one of the General Soul. Now that he knows the attributes of the General's Artifact, Zhao Fu is reluctant to use it for enhancement. He will definitely save it until he has collected ten General Soul and then General's Artifact.
The other item is the Undead General Class Transfer Class Transfer, which Zhao Fu gave to a Ratfolk Kanogi Kanokki. Now Zhao Fu has 11 General under his command.
The fifth item is quite interesting; it's a jade flute. This jade flute is white and has a cool texture. Because it has been tainted by the aura of the dead for a long time, it emits a strange aura, giving it an ominous feel!
[ The Mourning Flute ]: A strange flute that carries a sorrowful tone no matter what tune it plays, causing people to weep. The person who plays the flute will also be targeted by ghosts.
This is the fifth item, which can be described as an ominous object. If it were placed in the real world, it could terrify a group of people, because anyone who has used the flute will be targeted by ghosts. Just thinking about it is a bit creepy.
But this is the Apocalypse World, and with Zhao Fu's current strength, he is not afraid of any ghosts or monsters. So he put the jade flute to his lips and gently blew a note.
"Call!"
As soon as the flute melody began, Zhao Fu felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a cold wind had blown by. Zhao Fu looked up, and the scene immediately fell silent, becoming somewhat eerie.
suddenly!
Several faint, illusory figures slowly appeared. These figures were both male and female, and their appearances were blurry and their features were indistinct. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, and their feet were several inches off the ground, as if they were floating.
Zhao Fu glanced at them and saw that they were just a group of ghosts. These ghosts were very weak and could be easily wiped out. Now they didn't even dare to come within ten meters of Zhao Fu.
Because Zhao Fu's current aura is enough to destroy them, all of which were attracted by this flute.
Zhao Fu Zhao Fu also somewhat surprised. "This flute is indeed quite eerie. I only played one note, and it attracted these ghosts. Who knows what kind of monsters it will summon if I play a whole tune?"
This Mourning Flute is quite powerful. Zhao Fu put the flute into the King's Ring, then looked at the surrounding ghosts, and with a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force, like a gentle breeze, instantly turned several ghosts into wisps of green smoke.
After finishing most of his tasks, Zhao Fu returned to his room to cultivate, hoping to quickly raise his cultivation level to the first rank. However, he was interrupted shortly afterward.
Guo Binglin knelt on the ground with a solemn expression and said a few words, which made Zhao Fu's eyes turn cold. He put on a black cloak, left the room immediately, and took Guo Binglin to Heavenly Stone City using Teleportation Array.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered in front of the restaurant, talking amongst themselves. Some sighed, while others gloated. This restaurant was the one owned by Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu walked into the restaurant and saw a mess on the ground, with all the tables and chairs smashed. What angered him most were the more than twenty corpses on the ground.
Among the corpses were service staff, the manager in charge of the place, and cooks. In short, no one in this restaurant was left alive; they were all wiped out!
Their blood splattered on the ground and walls. Their bodies lay there quietly in different positions, their faces still showing the fear and terror they had felt before death. These were all faces that Zhao Fu recognized, but now they were dead just like that.
Anger surged within Zhao Fu, his gaze turned icy, and he clenched his fists tightly as he demanded, "What's going on?"
Guo Binglin, sensing Zhao Fu's anger, trembled inwardly. He bowed and began to explain earnestly, "Your Highness! This is what happened: Not long after the restaurant opened, the young master of Heavenly Stone City, slightly drunk, arrived with a few servants and declared that he had booked the entire restaurant and ordered the manager to kick everyone out!"
The innkeeper, considering the young master's status, had no choice but to apologize to the other customers and ask them to leave. Then the young master asked the innkeeper to cook all the dishes and serve them, which the innkeeper did exactly as instructed, carefully dealing with the young master.
But the young master said he didn't like the wine here, so the innkeeper had to go to another restaurant and spend a lot of money to buy the wine he liked. But the young master became more and more difficult when he was drunk, and even asked the girls here to serve him.
The shopkeeper was completely helpless, because we had only hired these girls as waitresses. The shopkeeper could only bite the bullet and go up to explain, but the young master didn't care at all and even tried to force himself on them. The girls resisted and injured him in the struggle.
Enraged, the young master ordered his men to kill everyone in the restaurant and smash it to pieces. Now, the young master is drunk and unconscious, and his servants have carried him back to the city lord's mansion.
Zhao Fu also understood why there were so few players in Heavenly Stone City. With such a tyrannical, violent, unreasonable, and bloodthirsty scoundrel, who would want to stay here? The power they had worked so hard to develop could be wiped out if they just displeased him.
A surge of anger welled up inside Zhao Fu, but his mind remained clear. He immediately realized something and coldly ordered, "Everyone from Great Qin, withdraw from Heavenly Stone City now!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Binglin immediately obeyed, turned around and quickly left, while relaying the order.
Soon! All the people belonging to Great Qin in Heavenly Stone City left Heavenly Stone City and returned to Great Qin Town. Not long after Zhao Fu's people left, soldiers came with murderous intent to seal off these places, and all the properties that Zhao Fu had purchased were forcibly reclaimed.
If Zhao Fu hadn't given the order quickly, probably not a single person in Heavenly Stone City connected to the Great Qin would have been left alive!
"Warning! You have been listed as a wanted criminal by Heavenly Stone City."
"Warning! You are currently in Heavenly Stone City. Your location has been detected. Please leave immediately."
This method of eliminating all trouble and leaving no future problems for the young master to clean up the mess made Zhao Fu grit his teeth; he had never been so angry before.
