At the foot of Baimeng Mountain.
"What? You still need to pay? Twelve taels per person? No!"
Bang~
"I give!"
"..."
"I drank two mouthfuls of Northwest Wind on the mountain, and you asked me to pay ten taels? Why don't you go and grab it?"
Pa~
"No, brother, I've been sitting on the treetops all day without going anywhere, and I only carry dry food with me. Do I have to pay for this?"
Click~
"..."
As Bai Yixian led a group of servants from Baixia Villa and began to collect money from the entire Baimeng Mountain, everyone immediately exploded.
What the heck, you have to pay even if you sit on the mountain?
It’s outrageous!
Robbery is too much!
But without exception, everyone paid in despair.
Not giving?
Don’t give it a try!
That's really a beating~
Besides, the top sects at the top of the mountain have paid their dues, how can they dare not obey?
Alas~
Compared with everyone's misery, Bai Yixian, who led the people to collect debts, was happy.
Mr. Bai, who was so arrogant that he would beat up anyone who didn't pay for it, was very arrogant!
The main reason was that Fuji and Daoist Jiang were following behind him. Who dared to bare their teeth with him?
Hahaha~
"Anyway, we have to go to the military camp in a few days. Let's just think of this as the last act of madness!"
Bai Yixian muttered secretly, then sneered at the corner of his mouth and quickly ran towards the distance away from everyone.
"Master is here~"
…
the other side.
Under the leadership of his uncle, Lu Shaoze and Lu Zixian quickly walked through the verandah garden and finally arrived at Bai Wuji's study.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Wuji reached out and swung the incense burner standing above the desk, and a creaking sound was immediately heard in the room.
Then the bookshelf filled with bamboo slips began to rotate, and a deep corridor came into view in an instant.
Looking at the secret passage with only a faint light in front of him, Lu Shaoze was somewhat surprised.
He just asked his uncle to help find a secret room to discuss something, but he actually created a secret passage directly?
However, although my uncle is not as rich as the rest of the country, he is quite rich. It is understandable that he has a secret way just in case.
"By the way, uncle, I want Xiao Xian'er to go and have some experience in the Dingyuan Army. What do you think?"
"Ah? He goes to the military camp? Is that possible?" Bai Wuji asked doubtfully.
It wasn't that he didn't want his son to go to the military camp, but he was a little worried that if his son went to the military camp with his temperament, would it bring trouble to the Lu family?
"You can't make a good thing out of jade, so you can't let him be ruined by women all his life, right?"
"Yes, uncle listens to you."
"Okay, then this matter has been settled. Shaoze will arrange it later."
Lu Shaoze nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, he continued:
"Uncle, is there a map of Dakang here?"
"Yes, just wait a moment."
Bai Wuji responded, turned around and rummaged through the desk.
Not long after, a map made of sheepskin was handed over to Lu Shaoze.
"Ozawa, although uncle doesn't know what you want to do, if you can find anything useful for me, just ask. Uncle has nothing else and I have enough money!"
"Uncle, don't worry. If necessary, Shaoze will not be polite to you, haha~"
"Okay, you go in, uncle will guard you."
"good!"
After Lu Shaoze nodded slightly, he winked at Lu Zixian and then stepped into the secret passage together.
As he watched the two of them enter, a look of worry suddenly appeared on Bai Wuji's handsome face.
He didn't know what Lu Shaoze was going to do, let alone why his nephew wanted to take a third-grade young man with him.
But Bai Wuji had an intuition that his nephew might have big plans!
"Hoo~"
"It seems that we need to count the money at home as soon as possible to prepare for emergencies!"
The Bai and Lu families both prospered and suffered losses.
If something really happened to the Lu family, Bai Wuji would have no hesitation even if he spent all his family wealth!
"Alas~"
None of these children are fuel-efficient. .
…
In the corridor.
The two of them walked there, speechless for a moment.
The passage is deep, but fortunately the oil lamps embedded in the wall bring weak light, so we can see clearly.
In fact, it's no wonder that Lu Shaoze was so cautious and had to find a secret room.
In fact, it is what the two of them are going to talk about next, and one mistake can lead to death.
Lu must be cautious!
After a while, the vision suddenly became clear.
The passage was gone, and what appeared in front of the two of them was an underground cave the size of a basketball court.
The cave is not only large enough, but also has tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans and everything else.
Moreover, the cave was kept spotless, so it was obvious that someone lived there regularly.
In addition, there are large sealed boxes neatly placed on the ground.
Lu Shaoze roughly counted, there were almost thirty!
He knew what was in the box very well, but he didn't expect that his uncle would actually have such a hand?
I always knew that my uncle was rich, but I didn’t expect to be so rich!
If I had known this earlier, why would I have done such a shitty business?
At this time.
Lu Zixian also walked quickly to the box with an excited expression, and then opened the box with a slight force.
Silver light flashed, and rows of twelve-weight silver ingots were instantly placed in front of the two of them.
At the same time, Lu Zixian also had a lewd smile on his face.
"My lord, if this money can be used by me, my lord's work will be done with twice the result with half the effort!!"
Lu Shaoze:. . .
He didn't say anything yet, but this guy actually guessed what he was thinking?
Fortunately, he was one of his own, otherwise Lu Shaoze would not have dared to let him wander around in this world!
"Zixian, come and sit."
"Lord, what about this money?"
"That belongs to someone else! Besides, we don't have much money at the moment. Are you so worried?"
"Hehe...hehe, that's true."
After laughing twice, Lu Zixian stopped worrying about the money and sat aside awkwardly.
At this moment, Lu Shaoze placed the map in his hand on the table and asked casually:
"Tell me, what should we do next?"
Ever since he met Lu Zixian and learned that Emperor Wu had very little life left, Lu Shaoze had thought a lot about this.
Until today outside Baixia Villa, Fang had a general idea in his mind.
But he also wanted to see what insights the so-called master of heaven in front of him would have!
However, when faced with Lu Shaoze's question, Lu Zixian did not answer and asked instead:
"My lord, do you plan to let your subordinates go to the mountains and forests in the future?"
Lu Shaoze nodded lightly when he heard this and did not deny it.
This is indeed what he has been thinking in recent days!
After all, what he does next is a major matter of raising private soldiers. If he is not careful, he will be killed.
Because of this, he needs someone who can coordinate the overall situation.
There is no doubt that Lu Zixian is the most suitable and he will do his part!
With him here, Lu Shaoze can rest assured.
"Zixian, since you already know my plan, why not tell me where in the eighteen states of Dakang, where is suitable for raising troops?"
"Lord Qi, here!"
As soon as Lu Zixian finished speaking, his right index finger landed on the map.
But the position of his finger made Lu Shaoze a little confused.
"Yuzhou?"
"Why?"
