Chapter 656: All parties come to help
"There are really a lot of demons in this northern region..."
In the sky, Qingwan flew low with Qingyi, marveling at the sights and sounds they had seen along the way.
Before coming to the Northern Region, she had heard that there were all kinds of demon races in this place.
They didn't realize it until they saw it with their own eyes, but after arriving in the Northern Region, the two encountered many evil demons on their journey.
Some monsters, seeing that they were young, thought they were easy to bully and attacked them without saying a word.
Of course, the fate of those demons goes without saying; they have turned to ashes to nourish the earth.
Qingwan also saw that many demon tribes had very little moral concept, and were even less civilized than the ape demon group she had seen in Hongzhou. They barely had human form, but their behavior was more like that of wild beasts.
"I wonder how Lu Zheng is doing here?"
Qingwan muttered to herself, feeling that the situation in the Northern Region was too chaotic, and that Lu Zheng must be having some headaches too.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard from the distant mountains and fields.
Qingwan and Qingyi exchanged a glance, and then flew over silently in perfect unison.
As we got closer, we could still faintly hear people shouting.
It was a group of humans, demons, and monsters fighting. At first glance, they were all dressed differently, and it was not easy to tell who was on which side.
Qingwan blinked and saw some carriages parked not far away. Some of the carriages had been smashed by someone, revealing boxes of heavy goods.
"Have we encountered robbers?" Qingwan wondered to herself.
While watching the match, the two children overheard some people talking.
"Do you really intend to wipe them all out? Associating with him will only lead to your demise!"
"Ha, we don't know what will happen to us, but you certainly won't have a good end. Your sins are heinous, yet you still dare to try to escape punishment by absconding with a large sum of money. We are ordered to kill you..."
"Are you all so good?"
"Excuse me, we want to be good demons now."
One of the demons looked solemn and acted ruthlessly without hesitation.
The pursued side quickly retreated, and it looked like they were about to be defeated.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Give us a way out, and all this wealth is yours!"
The demon shook his head and said, "Foolish! If we kill you, all the wealth will be ours... everyone's."
"Young Master Lu gave us all a chance, and not only did you not cherish it, you also took away so much money and resources. You really don't know what's good for you! You're all on the wanted list. Even if it weren't for us, there are others who are thinking of redeeming themselves through meritorious service..."
Hunting down these fugitives and recovering their supplies not only reduces their crimes to a certain extent but also earns them a reward.
These transvestites and ghosts who came out to hunt down the wanted criminals were all of moderate criminals, and they were all eager to make a good impression.
As for the recovered property, they dared not keep it for themselves, since it would have to be investigated after they returned.
Therefore, they were not tempted by the huge profits.
You have to be alive to earn money, but you also have to be alive to spend it.
Upon hearing about Young Master Lu, Qingwan and Qingyi went directly to the crowd.
As Qingyi stood there, a powerful aura spread out.
The two sides, who had been fighting, froze, their movements halted.
Qingwan looked at a demon with a fairly decent appearance and said, "Tell me about this Young Master Lu you're talking about."
……
"There's so much land, we simply can't manage it all!"
Hu Qing followed beside Lu Zheng, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Lu Zheng forcefully suppressed some nearby forces, and the territory under his control expanded considerably. Hu Qing and her group of sisters were running around everywhere, feeling completely exhausted.
Previously, she only needed to think about cultivation, but now she is so busy with various matters that she has no time to spare.
Lu Zheng stood high in the sky, surveying and planning the land below.
After a while, he said, "To cultivate Buddhism, you must cultivate your mind. You can't do it like this."
Hu Qing's lips twitched. "Buddha probably didn't say that cultivation involves these things, right? Managing the people is something only officials do... Speaking of which, I don't even have an official position right now, and I don't even have a salary!"
Lu Zheng said calmly, "First of all, you are still guilty. Secondly, I feel that your ideological awareness needs to be improved. You should still take some time to attend classes every day."
Lu Zheng handed several blueprints to Hu Qing, then said, "Let them do it according to the requirements and complete the initial construction as soon as possible."
Hu Qing took the blueprints, knowing she would be busy again, and hurriedly left.
A short while later, Yunhe appeared in front of Lu Zheng.
"A group of people just arrived in Qingcheng. They said they were your friends, but didn't reveal their identities. They said they had important business with you. Do you want to go back and see them?"
Qingcheng was the demon city at the foot of Qinghuai Mountain, but Lu Zheng has now changed its name.
"Ok?"
Lu Zheng was a little puzzled when he heard this. Where did he get friends in the Northern Region?
Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Please give me a ride, senior!"
Yunhe smiled and said, "No problem."
After saying that, Yunhe waved his hand, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Before long, the two arrived in Qingcheng and went to a mansion specifically for receiving representatives of foreign forces.
As soon as he entered, Lu Zheng saw several familiar figures, including Su Mei and several fellow Daoists from the Chu Kingdom...
Besides these, there were some unfamiliar faces, each with a unique temperament and extraordinary qualities.
When Su Mei and the others saw Lu Zheng, they felt a sense of both unfamiliarity and familiarity, and they all came up to greet him.
Before they came, they had heard some rumors about Lu Zheng in the Northern Region, and thought that someone was exaggerating.
When they arrived, they discovered that reality was far more exaggerated than the rumors suggested.
Lu Zheng single-handedly wiped out many forces in this area, then took over their territories and managed the various ethnic groups here in an orderly manner.
They had all visited Kaiyang County, where the new policies had been implemented, and now they found that this place was doing even better than Kaiyang County in some aspects.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Zheng looked at everyone, a hint of doubt in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Su Mei said, "Um...Young Master Lu, can we talk alone? I have something important to tell you."
Some things are simply inconvenient to discuss in front of so many people, as it could easily leak information.
Facing Lu Zheng again, Su Mei was quite honest.
Just kidding, people outside are saying that Lu Zheng killed many Tongxuan experts, and his strength is quite terrifying.
Actually, Su Mei and the others didn't want to believe it at first.
After all, in their minds, Lu Zheng's strength couldn't possibly be that great.
However, many people witnessed Huai Jun's death, and the Lu Zheng described by the witnesses was the same Lu Zheng they knew, so they couldn't help but believe it.
Su Mei's feelings were quite complicated. She couldn't imagine how Lu Zheng had done it. She had originally wanted to work hard to cultivate and catch up with Lu Zheng, but the gap between them was only widening...
