"Lord..."
"Lord!"
"Everyone, sit down!"
Ning Fan walked to the palace hall and looked around. There was a deep light in his eyes, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely solemn.
"Damn it, this Lu family is so brave that they dare to attack Jin Yiwei!"
"Lord, give me three thousand elite soldiers, and I will lead them to defeat the Lu family!"
"Jiang Yu's life may be in danger if he falls into the hands of the Lu family."
Ning Fan remained silent and gradually fell into deep thought. When everyone saw this, they also fell silent.
"From now on, all important military and political affairs in Huainan will be handed over to Feng Xiao with full authority."
"Zhongkang, Dianwei, Qingzhi, you lead seven thousand white-robed troops and follow me northward."
"I want to go to Jiangdong in person."
Hearing Ning Fan's words, Guo Jia frowned slightly, but did not say anything to dissuade him. Jia Xu also said in a deep voice: "My lord, in the land of Jiangdong, the Lu family can almost cover the sky with one hand. It is not appropriate for you to go there in person."
"Besides, without an order from the court, if you leave the fiefdom without permission, I'm afraid..."
"This king faced thousands of troops on the battlefield without even frowning. Now what can a Lu family do?"
"As for the court, my father has granted me the power to act expediently!"
At this time, Ning Fan obviously couldn't care about this. Even if Emperor Yu blamed him later, he would just get a few scoldings or be impeached by the old guys in the court.
With his current background, there is really nothing in the world that he dare not do.
"Wen He, use Jin Yiwei and the entire intelligence network of Black Ice Platform. I want to know Jiang Yu's current whereabouts."
"Since they captured him alive, they must have some agenda. Therefore, Jiang Yu's life is not in danger."
"promise!"
After some explanations, Ning Fan did not hesitate and directly led the group to set off, followed secretly by Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry.
…
Changyan County.
Lu family.
"Master Marquis, we have brought him back."
"where?"
"In a cellar outside the city."
When Lu Wenhan heard this, his expression was calm and he said calmly: "Did you reveal any flaws?"
"No!"
"Tighten the surveillance and intensify the interrogation. I want to know the whereabouts of Yan'er."
"promise!"
After the man in black went down, Lu Wenhan stood up and paced back and forth in the lobby, with a cold and extremely cold determination in his eyes, and murmured: "My Lu family has been planning for so many years, but now that I'm here, I don't want to wait any longer. !”
"This world should belong to my Lu family. This is what the Ning family owes us."
"master!"
Just when Lu Wenhan was lost in thought, he saw a figure walking in quickly. He was the butler of the Lu family. He was deeply trusted by Lu Wenhan and was also the core strength of the Lu family.
"The things have been shipped to the ground."
"Thirty thousand sets of armor, a lot of them, the soldiers have all been equipped."
"Second Young Master asked, do you want to continue recruiting people?"
"enough!"
Lu Wenhan shook his head and said softly: "The soldiers should be fine, not too many. Even if we recruit another hundred thousand soldiers, we will still be able to defeat Dayu's hundreds of thousands of troops."
"King Huai has been planning for so many years, but in the end he never even saw the capital."
"I, the Lu family, cannot follow in the footsteps of Prince Huai."
"The world of the Ning family can only be conquered wisely, not by force."
When the butler heard this, there was a look of admiration on his face. He had grown up in the Lu Mansion since he was a child. His ancestors had been slaves of the Lu family for three generations. He was favored by the Lu family. Naturally, he also knew many interesting things that were unknown to outsiders. secret.
"Master, what should we do next?"
"wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for an opportunity."
Lu Wenhan spoke ambiguously, pondered for a moment, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Go to the Hu family in person, meet Mr. Hu, and tell him that I am waiting for news from him."
"yes!"
The housekeeper walked away quickly. As soon as he left, Lu Jinglong rushed into the courtyard with eager steps. When he saw his father, the eager look on his face gradually faded.
"Father, Dahan Grain Store has made another move."
"tell me the story."
"They sold grain at low prices, and with the government's entry, the price of grain dropped sharply, to as low as fifteen cents per bucket."
Hearing Lu Jinglong's words, Lu Wenhan's face showed a sneer: "Has there been a purchase limit?"
"Purchase limit!"
"Haha, what a great blow to the bottom of the cauldron."
"In that case, stop selling food."
"Father?"
Lu Jinglong looked shocked. The granaries across the Lu family were now full of grain. If the sale was stopped, not to mention whether it would be damaged, the storage cost alone would be a huge expense.
"Since they want to sell, let them sell."
"My Lu family's food will no longer be sold."
"Mingzhong!"
"The old slave is here."
An old man with an unattractive appearance walked out of the corner and bowed respectfully.
Lu Wenhan put his hands behind his back, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said softly: "Go to the north in person and ask the Mobei Bayi tribe to see if they are short of food."
"yes!"
The old man's body swept away and disappeared directly into the courtyard. Lu Jinglong looked at his father in panic: "Father, are you... planning to sell the grain to Mobei Bayi?"
"Grain was not valuable in Dayu, but in Mobei, it was more valuable than gold."
…
City of King Yu.
Royal palace, royal garden.
It was rare for Emperor Yu to take time off to enjoy flowers, but there was no one close to him, so he always felt that something was missing.
"Wei Ying, what have the third child been busy with these days?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness has been cultivating himself at home these days."
"oh?"
Emperor Yu looked very surprised and said with a smile: "Can you calm down and calm down? Although the third child is not as talented as the second child, he can still be called a wise king."
"It's just that I'm a little too conceited. He keeps an eye on my every move. If there's the slightest sign of trouble, he'll over-specify my intentions."
"Haha, he is quite clever, but it's a pity that he didn't use it on the right path."
"Your Majesty said so."
"Is there any movement to the north?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I haven't received any news from the north yet."
"Um!"
While the two were talking, they had already walked to the pavilion next to the pond. Emperor Yu said calmly: "The Lu family is different from the Chen family. They are the heroes of my Dayu after the founding of the country."
"Their ancestors once conquered the world with Emperor Taizu. Seventy percent of the food and grass for our Yu army came from the Lu family."
"But now, not only do the Lu family not care about the emperor's favor, but they have intensified their efforts, plundering the people, exploiting farmers, and even manipulating food prices for a time."
"I wasn't planning to attack them in a hurry, but now, the Lu family wants to sit on my head and shit!"
Emperor Yu's calm eyes seemed to contain thousands of murderous intentions, and his tone was neither urgent nor slow, but it made Wei Ying, who was already a master, feel a chill in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards wishes to see you."
