Chapter 90 Arrangement
After taking the pill, Lu Yuan could clearly feel the surging energy flowing towards his limbs and bones, finally concentrating in his kidneys, making him feel incredibly comfortable all over, while at the same time, a feeling of heat coursing through his body.
Various images involuntarily flashed through my mind.
This feeling becomes very pronounced after one has mastered the art of kidney cultivation.
He felt better after the medicine was absorbed, and then Lu Yuan put another pill into his mouth.
His physical strength is now incredibly resilient.
While others might need three days to consume one pill, he could take several a day without any problem.
Until both pills were fully digested.
Lu Yuan then checked his cultivation progress.
[The third-grade martial art, "Tiger Subduing Stance," refines the kidneys (4000/10000 points, reaching mastery)]
Two pills equal four thousand proficiency points.
Ten bottles contain one hundred pills, but to achieve complete perfection, it's still a bit short.
However, Lu Yuan didn't care. Now that he was a captain, there were many ways to earn money.
Besides the monthly salary of about eight hundred taels of silver, there were also tributes from the city.
Moreover, they can also send trusted people to manage some businesses.
In short, once you become a captain and take charge of a border city, you will have the right to exchange interests with others in this frontier region.
Moreover, he planned to go to the Hundred Flowers Courtyard tonight to check it out. If it was confirmed to be related to the Succubus Sect, then he would wipe them out directly.
When the time comes, all the gold and silver inside will be yours.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
After experiencing the events on the frontier battlefield, he now realizes that he is still too weak and can still be easily discarded.
Even if one becomes a border marquis, the same applies.
Therefore, he had to build his own network of relationships while also working hard to improve his own strength.
By accumulating more and more trump cards, one can mobilize increasingly greater forces.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to get up, a message popped up in his mind.
[Cultivation Technique: Grade 3 cultivation technique "Wind and Thunder Slaying General Blade Technique" (30241/30000 Perfection, wish to break through?)]
"breakthrough."
He didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
The next moment, his hands and arms changed, and as he circulated his energy, the sounds of wind and thunder faintly echoed around his body.
He made a movement subconsciously, and the speed became not only faster, but also more violent.
Its attack power has increased by more than 30%.
[Technique: Grade 3 Technique "Wind and Thunder Slaying General Blade Technique" (241/50000 Entry Stance)]
Looking at the numbers on the panel, Lu Yuan's lips curled up.
Then, she got up and pushed open the door to go out.
This training session took up some time, and it was already getting dark.
Upon quickly arriving at the front hall, Zhou Xiong was there with his men on guard.
He was clad in full iron armor, with a long sword at his waist.
His robust physique exuded a fierce aura.
After going to the battlefield once, Lu Yuan discovered that the people who returned were different from those in the past.
"grown ups!"
Zhou Xiong immediately bowed, his attitude exceptionally respectful.
However, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, remembering the first time he met Lu Yuan, when the other party was just an ordinary garrison soldier.
I never imagined that in such a short time, I would already be a captain.
"No need for formalities. How many personal guards are there in the manor now?"
"Reporting to you, sir, there are thirty guards on duty, and the rest are resting," Zhou Xiong quickly replied. The guards in the mansion work in three shifts.
As the captain's personal guards, they were all selected from the fiercest soldiers in the army, and their armor was also half-body armor.
They are considered one of the most elite forces in the city guard.
Lu Yuan nodded, called Zhou Xiong aside, and whispered, "Do you know the Hundred Flowers Courtyard? Have you ever been there?"
"I've heard of Baihuayuan, but I've never been there. I heard it's been open for less than a year, but it's quite popular. Would you like to go?" Zhou Xiong said with an air of knowing what he meant.
This caused a look of helplessness to appear on Lu Yuan's face.
This guy has no other thoughts on his mind, but he's quite adept at these kinds of things.
"Notify all guards, and mobilize Zhou He's men, with thirty city-breaking crossbows, to surround the area around Baihua Tower, without alerting anyone else."
"Act on my signal."
"Sir, what's wrong...?"
"I suspect that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion has some connection with the Succubus Sect." He still trusted Zhou Xiong quite a bit, after all, he had always followed Zhou Hongling, and the other party had never been to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, so he should be reliable.
"Then I'll go and inform the garrison commander of the city guards and ask them to assist." Zhou Xiong had naturally heard of the Succubus Sect. Zhou Hongling had mentioned investigating the Succubus Sect after returning this time.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "According to Lord Zhou, the Succubus Sect is quite adept at winning over local officials. They've been here for a year now, and no one knows about them yet."
It wasn't until we set out that they relaxed their vigilance and revealed some clues, which drew attention to them. This shows that some officials were already secretly helping to hide them, or even protecting them.
Therefore, we must be cautious. Commander Wang Sen did not go on the expedition with us, so I don't quite trust him.
If the news leaks out beforehand, wouldn't it be a wasted trip, and we might even alert the enemy? It's not appropriate to let more people know about this.
"Yes, sir." At this moment, Zhou Xiong was completely convinced. This captain looked young, but he was very meticulous.
No wonder he has achieved this at such a young age.
"Okay, remember to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone about this. If anyone asks, just say you're preparing for a city defense exercise."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Xiong quickly replied.
Lu Yuan nodded, then gestured for the other person to leave.
Two hundred people, that's about right. Plus these city-breaking crossbows, which are said to be difficult even for those at the True Essence or even the Qi Refining Realm to withstand.
There were eighteen crosses in total; he simply couldn't believe that anyone in the Hundred Flowers Garden could escape.
Moreover, once their identities are confirmed, the two sides can mobilize even more people once they start fighting. Even those officials who have been secretly recruited will have to appear by his side and help him wipe out the Hundred Flowers Courtyard.
Otherwise, a single charge of disobeying orders could lead to their demise.
In this battle, Lu Yuan not only wanted to strike at the Succubus Sect, but also to eliminate the heretics under his command. The three thousand city guards under his command could only obey his orders.
To outwardly comply while inwardly defying is absolutely unacceptable.
Just then, Zhou He walked over with a smug look on his face. It was obvious that Zhou Xiong hadn't told him about the trip to Baihuayuan. This kid thought they were going to a brothel today.
Having dressed up specially, she looked at Lu Yuan and said, "My lord, shouldn't we be leaving?"
"Alright, it's about time, let's set off." As Lu Yuan spoke, he led Zhou He toward the Hundred Flowers Courtyard.
At the same time, on the third floor of the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, Sun Qian, the head of the Sun family, and Wang Sen, the centurion, were drinking, accompanied by a glamorous woman.
At this moment, she smiled broadly, but her tone was worried as she said, "My lords, I've heard that our newly appointed captain is not someone to be trifled with. What if he comes looking for us here? If that happens, we won't be able to do business."
Clearly, both Wang Sen and Sun Qian knew that she was from the Succubus Sect.
"Don't worry, although our captain is not someone to be trifled with, and his military achievements are the result of real battles, he is still young, and this fortified city is not a battlefield. I'll invite him over to have some fun another day, and then you'll get to know him. If he were to protect you then..."
"No one in this city will dare to touch you." Wang Sen said, taking a sip of his drink.
Then he turned to look at Sun Qian, a sinister glint in his eyes, but he smiled broadly: "Back then, wasn't I dragged into this mess by Patriarch Sun?"
Even heroes have always found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women, let alone this place which is a den of beauties. What man could resist?
Sun Qian smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
His three sons all died away from home, and he himself is old and frail, with underage grandchildren at home. If he doesn't take advantage of his current good health to earn more money, he will be in trouble.
Once I die, the Sun family will be completely finished.
Therefore, when the owner of Baihualou brought people to deliver boxes of gold and silver treasures to his home, Sun Qian completely sided with Baihualou.
Although he didn't respond to Wang Sen's words, he turned to stare at the boss, Meiniang, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay even if we can't drag Lu Yuan down with us. Zhou Hongling couldn't do anything to me back then."
Even if Lu Yuan comes, it won't be a problem for him to protect your entire brothel.
This censor stationed in the border region clearly did not take Lu Yuan too seriously.
They were originally a powerful local family, with many members serving in the military and government offices.
He didn't believe anyone would dare to easily disrespect him.
Back then, even Zhou Hongling would have avoided him.
Things in officialdom are quite different from fighting in the military.
There are many intricacies involved.
