"Young Master Zhong!"
"Major!"
Just as Kuo Zhong had arranged for Chen Laomou and Bu Tianzhi, Xu Zhiling and Fu Junhao rushed to the garden.
Fu Junhao's originally cold face became extremely warm, and her mature feminine charm was fully displayed. Xu Zhiling, on the other hand, was full of smiles, and even his footsteps were breezy.
Clearly, the two of them had consumed the Blood Origin Fruit and broken through to the intermediate stage of the Zongshi realm.
Kuo Zhong could sense that Xu Zhiling's aura was superior to Fu Junhao's. He was almost comparable to a late-stage Zongshi realm expert.
This was the difference in their internal energy cultivation. After all, Xu Zhiling cultivated the Art of Longevity and had mastered Sword 23. With the Frost Sword in his hand, ordinary peak Zongshi realm experts would probably not be able to cause destructive damage to Xu Zhiling.
"You came at the right time!"
Kuo Zhong waved at the two of them and took out a ball of light from his storage ring. He threw it out and the ball of light dispersed with a boom. An ancient well about three meters in diameter appeared in the garden.
The well was carved out of white jade, and the water in the well sparkled, reflecting a crescent moon. The water surface emitted a faint white halo, as bright as the moon.
When the light shone on their bodies, their fatigue could not help but be swept away.
"Young Master Zhong, what is this?"
Xu Zhiling asked first.
Fu Junhao, Chen Laomou, and Bu Tianzhi were also shocked.
Although they knew about Kuo Zhong's storage ring and had seen how powerful it was, it was still unbelievable that an ancient well could grow out of the ground!
Smiling, Kuo Zhong pointed at the ancient well and introduced,""This is the Moon Well."
"During the day, it will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into well water.”
"At night, it absorbs moonlight and condenses well water. Its speed is even faster than during the day.”
"The Moon Well Water has the effect of dispelling sickness, detoxifying, and healing injuries.”
"As long as it isn't a life-threatening injury, the Moon Well Water can produce extraordinary effects.”
"Whoa!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiling, Fu Junhao, Chen Laomou, and Bu Tianzhi could not help but be delighted.
In that case, this Moon Well Water could already be considered a miraculous medicine. This could save the major general's army a lot of money on medicine.
After all, famous doctors were much rarer than martial artists these days.
Usually, many wounds were left to the soldiers to heal themselves.
"This well water is given priority to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the army.”
"Immediately inform Yun Yuzhen to come back. She will be in charge of this well.”
Kuo Zhong's eyes were like torches as he continued to instruct.
Before the battle, he had Yun Yuzhen take charge of the newly established Twin Dragons Gang.
Now that the battle was over, it was meaningless for Yun Yuzhen to continue leading Yu Hang.
"Yes."
Fu Junhao immediately responded and arranged for the Brocade Guard to bring Yun Yuzhen to Poyang.
As for Chen Laomou and Bu Tianzhi, they took the Blood Origin Fruit, the books, and the blueprints and left Ba Manor in a hurry.
.........
Jinyang, Tang Public House.
In the eleventh year of Daye, Li Yuan was transferred to the post of Ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi Province. The following year, he was promoted to General of Right Xiaowei and led his troops to Jinyang to resist the Turks.
From then on, the Li family's headquarters gradually moved to Jinyang, and various industries also took root in Jinyang.
Twenty days ago, Li Xiuning had requested horses and guards from Du Fuwei in Jianghuai. She had galloped through the night and returned to Jinyang.
At the same time, he brought back two pieces of bad news. The first was that someone had pinned the blame on the Li Family. Everyone knew that the Li Family had sent troops to Jiangdu to destroy the Iron Cavalry Association, killing the leader of the Iron Cavalry Association, Ren Shaoming, and the two great guardians. They had also offended the number two expert of the Western Region, Flying Eagle Qu Ao, and the Yin Weed Faction of the Demon Sect.
As for the latter, it was because the Li Family's scheme against the Song Family was exposed, and the eldest son of the Song Family, Song Shidao, declared that he would fight the Li Family to the death.
And these two things happened to be done by one person or one force.
How could the Li clan, one of the four great clans in the world, endure such humiliation? Just as they were about to send people to deal with the two dragons, they did not expect that a piece of news from Poyang would spread throughout the entire Yangtze River and shake the entire world.
"Father!"
"Kou Zhong and Xu Zhiling defeated 100,000 Poyang disciples with 5,000 troops.”
"Lin Shihong was beheaded by Kuo Zhong, and Poyang Prefecture fell into the control of the Marshal's Army.”
"Right now, the marshal's army is occupying Poyang County, the Twin Dragons Gang controls Yuhang County, and the Eastern and Eastern Rivers are in sync with each other.”
Li Shimin, who was wearing a crown and a luxurious robe, said.
All the members of the Li family present had serious expressions and fear in their eyes.
"There are no heroes in the world.”
"Damn it, this brat actually extorted 300 stallions from my Li family!”
Li Yuan was furious and slammed his palm on the table.
That was one-fifth of the Li Family's stallion, the family's heritage.
"Father."
"I don't think we should hand over these stallions to the marshal.”
"The Young Marshal's Army has risen to prominence. In time, they will definitely be a match for my Li Family.”
"If we hand over the stallion to them now, wouldn't we be helping the enemy?”
Li Jiancheng persuaded.
"Yes, Father."
"We can't do such a stupid thing.”
Li Yuanji agreed with Li Jiancheng's suggestion.
It had to be said that the two of them had moved many of the Li Family members present.
However, Li Shi Min's face suddenly changed and he said loudly,"No, you can't!"
"Xiu Ning personally agreed to this matter. If we go back on our word and word gets out, how will the world view us?”
"Moreover, this time, it was all because the Song siblings vouched for Xiuning that Xiuning was able to escape.”
"Although we have offended the Song clan, we are still old friends.”
"If we don't hand over the stallion to the marshal, wouldn't we be setting the Song siblings on fire?”
"The Song family controls one-third of the world's salt transportation.”
"Father, I think we have to hand over the stallion to the marshal as soon as possible. It would be best if we can re-establish our relationship with the marshal.”
"Poyang is in the south and Jinyang is in the north. Both sides can cooperate.”
Thud!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Xiu Ning, who was sitting at the side, had a look of gratitude in her beautiful eyes.
If the Li family really broke the promise, she, the third daughter of the Li family, would really lose face.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces darkened. They didn't expect Li Shimin to not give them any face at all. His words were so sharp that the two of them were speechless.
"Shi Min is right."
"Xiu Ning, since this matter was caused by you, you will be responsible for it.”
"I'll let the divine art bring people with you to escort 300 stallion horses south.”
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the seat of honor, said slowly with a deep gaze.
"Yes, Father!"
Li Xiu Ning immediately responded.
Li Shentong was one of the four masters of the Li family. He was at the peak of the Zongshi realm. With him taking care of him, it was naturally impossible for anything to go wrong.
Immediately after.
Li Yuan continued," There are already various vassals in the world. It's not a big deal for the marshal's army to occupy a county.”
"The Wagang Army, Jianghuai Army, Dou Jiande, Gao Kaidao, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, Li Gui, and the others are all expanding their forces.”
"But we still can't even control Taiyuan Prefecture.”
"This…"
The people of the Li Family felt depressed.
Even bumpkins like Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling could control Poyang County, but they did not dare to expand their influence because of the Great Sui Dynasty's prestige. It was simply preposterous!
"I've already asked the Pei family to submit a report, requesting that I stay in Taiyuan and supervise Jinyang Palace.”
Li Yuan's words made everyone's breathing quicken.
Before this, Li Yuan was only the General of the Right Tun Guard. He was stationed in Jinyang to defend against the Turks and did not have the authority to control Taiyuan County.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was still around, and the glory of the Great Sui Dynasty was still around. Although war was everywhere, most of the county officials were still from the Sui army.
If the Li family sent troops to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, they would be surrounded.
However, with the two official positions of Taiyuan and Jinyang Palace Supervisor, everything in Taiyuan Prefecture would be under Li Yuan's control.
One had to know that Taiyuan County had a population of no less than 200,000 households and a million people.
Furthermore, Yang Guang had built more than 30 palaces during his reign. Among them, Chang 'an Palace, Luoyang Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Jinyang Palace, and Fenyang Palace were the most glorious. These palaces were not only palaces, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of granaries.
Especially Jinyang Granary, Fenyang Granary, Hanjia Granary, Xingluo Granary, Huiluo Granary, Changping Granary, Liyang Granary, Guangtong Granary, Heyang Granary, and Jiangdu Granary, which were listed as the top ten granaries of Great Sui Dynasty. Each granary stored more than a million stones of grain.
The Jinyang Palace Supervisor was not only in charge of the Jinyang Palace, but also the Jinyang warehouse. With food, the Li family could recruit soldiers wantonly.
"Shi Min, continue training the Black Armored Army.”
"Jiancheng, Yuanji, Xiaogong, Daozong, hurry up and train those fifty thousand soldiers.”
Li Yuan ordered as he looked around.
"Yes."
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong responded in unison.
