Chapter 1529 He Lingchuan's Preparation
He Lingchuan looked at the dark circles under his eyes but didn't expose them.
This guy must have been doing research day and night, which is why he looks like he has kidney deficiency.
"Where is she?" He Lingchuan frowned, "Could she stay in Jucheng?"
For Xiao An, it is not safe there; and for the civilians there, it is not safe for Xiao An.
"No." Is Dong Rui such a careless person? "I took her to the Ghost King's Underground Palace in the Howling Forest and left her a few Dragon Punishment Pillars. The place is big, so it's convenient for her to play hide-and-seek with ghosts - yes, she can easily see ghosts without shedding cow tears."
Even He Lingchuan had to admit that it was a nice place.
The Howling Forest is filled with evil spirits. Ordinary creatures and practitioners avoid it. Xiao An's "father" certainly can't get in either. The girl is safe there.
The Ghost King's Underground Palace was originally Dong Rui's secret laboratory. He stored a lot of daily supplies there, including food and drink.
"The child is obedient and likes the underground palace. She won't run out casually." As long as she is not provoked to change back to her original form, Xiao An is a well-behaved and smart little girl.
"This month's research has been very fulfilling, right?"
"It's fulfilling, fulfilling, and very rewarding!" Dong Rui's eyes lit up when he mentioned the experiment. "My research had been stagnant for a long time, and Xiao An has inspired me a lot."
He Lingchuan smiled wryly: "What about the things I told you to do?"
Once this guy starts doing research, he forgets about his business.
"It's done, it's done." Dong Rui said repeatedly, "There are a few more outstanding guys from Yangshan who lead the team in a very decent manner, such as Lao, Lao..."
"Lao Wensong?" He Lingchuan knew all his subordinates by heart.
"Yes, he selected seven or eight wanted grass-roots armies, all of which were doing good deeds under the banner of Black Dragon or Emperor Jiuyou, but were surrounded and blocked by the locals, and were almost desperate. Then, we attacked their pursuers." Dong Rui laughed, "It was so satisfying, so satisfying! The ghost ape even ate a county magistrate."
The ghost ape grinned. That fat county magistrate is not as delicious as the candy beans.
He Lingchuan pointed at it and said, "It's not exposed, right?"
Dong Rui grinned: "Don't worry, no one is left alive. Well, I have to change its appearance in a few days."
"Anyway, by the time I left, the story of the real Black Armor Army rescuing the fake Black Armor Army had already spread in the Shining Gold Plains." Needless to say, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce fanned the flames behind the scenes. "Those grass-roots soldiers were encouraged and very excited. In the past month, the number of your imitators has at least doubled."
These spontaneous "Black Armored Army" were weak at first, and once they were surrounded by local forces or the army, they would be easily wiped out. At this time, He Lingchuan didn't mind lending a hand to help them beat the pursuers.
He Lingchuan also smiled: "I received news that some grass-roots armies seem to have started to merge?"
He did receive several messages.
"Yes." Dong Rui took another sip of tea. "Do you still remember the Weng brothers?"
"Of course." He Lingchuan and the Weng brothers had agreed on a date in three months, which was almost up.
"In the past two months, they joined a team from Cangzhou. Their leader is named Doctor Li, who has a good business sense and seems to have experience in leading troops." Dong Rui said with a smile, "This team had only more than a hundred people in the early stage. They picked out a few evil officials and ended up with more and more people. Not long ago, they merged with the Pang brothers from Ruhai, and their team suddenly expanded to nearly a thousand people. They are quite powerful!"
"There were several places trying to encircle and suppress them, but Dr. Li broke through the encirclement and escaped without us even having to do anything."
"Only those left after the great waves have been washed away can be used talents." He Lingchuan knew, "These people only lack time and opportunity. If we give them a chance, they will stand out."
The fire seeds all grow from small to large, from weak to strong. Now, the real Black Armor Army has changed its functions, and the focus of its mission has become to protect these seedlings and fire seeds.
"That's right." He thought for a moment, "Let Luo Wensong go to Julu Port in person. If the Weng brothers remain true to their original aspirations, we will incorporate them directly into the Black Armor Army!"
This is the first group of golden men recruited by the Black Armor Army.
He Lingchuan knew very well that this step had to be taken. In the near future, the main force of the Black Armor Army would be the Shining Gold Men.
Yangshan Islands and Bailie are too small. Only the vast land of Shanjin can carry his ambitions and hopes and provide him with an endless supply of troops.
"By the way, the Allied Forces have won two more battles recently, and Pixia is doomed to fail. They want to negotiate with the Allied Forces." Dong Rui brushed aside his messy hair. "Situ He refused. He probably wants to take advantage of the fact that Yao State has no time to pay attention to them and take down Pixia in one fell swoop."
Situ He, filled with national hatred and family grudges, wanted to settle accounts with Bixia.
"Have they also discovered that something is wrong with Yao Country?"
"I discovered it a long time ago." Dong Rui said, "As soon as I returned to Ju City, Situ He came to visit me and wanted to know what you have been doing recently. I will only pick one or two things to mention casually, for example, you killed He Yang and you are doing well in Tianshui City. He admired you very much and said that you are worthy of being the owner of He Island, and you are capable of doing things that ordinary people cannot do."
"He became the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, and he has grown very quickly. His mind is much more clever than before."
He Lingchuan has always been paying attention to Situ He and noticing the changes in his character.
In the past, even though Situ He was talented, he was always acting out of passion. But in just a few months, he has become calm and thoughtful.
In the melting pot of war, some people can only become fuel, while others are tempered into precious swords.
Dong Rui thought of something else and took out a booklet from his bosom: "There is also this certificate. Jiang Lishui did not dare to send it to Tianshui City by flying message, fearing that it would be intercepted in the middle of the journey, so he asked me to bring it directly to you."
He Lingchuan took it and flipped through it, then nodded: "Yes, this information is too important to be obtained by outsiders."
"I see some business names and numbers on it?" Dong Rui got a headache when he saw these business stuff.
Oddly enough, if numbers appear in his research experiments, he can understand them very well.
If it appeared in He Lingchuan's business account book, he would be dazzled.
"These are the fifty-five businesses I arranged in various places across the Golden Plains." He Lingchuan explained as he flipped through the pages, "Of course, not all of these are under the banner of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, or in other words, most of them have nothing to do with Yangshan on the surface."
"What's it for?" Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice. "How many brains do you have? How many things do you have to handle at the same time?"
Just dealing with Youhu Villa and Tianshui East Expansion Project would exhaust ten ordinary people, but He Lingchuan also has to take care of Yangshan Islands' business in the Shining Gold Plains from a distance, and it seems that he has also started new plans for the next stage?
Of course he didn't know that He Lingchuan would enter the Panlong world at night and engage in a fierce battle against Bega there.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "This is to prepare for a rainy day. While the autumn harvest is in progress in various places, we will collect some supplies and store them locally in case of emergency. This booklet is a directory that marks the location of the warehouses of various businesses, as well as the amount of food, weapons, and medicines stored in them, so that we can check them later."
"What do you mean by a rainy day?" Dong Rui scratched his head. "It looks like it's covered with glittering gold."
"Except for Yao Country and the northern part of Shanjin, other places have deployed some. There are also relatively few in the eastern part of Shanjin." He Lingchuan turned to the second half of the booklet, "The storage situation of various businesses is not satisfactory. Some places really can't collect, and some places Yangshan's forces can't enter. Time is a bit tight, we have to speed up."
The difficulties in the Gold Plains are far greater than anywhere else.
Dong Rui was also curious, why did Yang Shan want to store supplies in all places in Shanjin?
He Lingchuan is methodical, what kind of preparations is he making?
But He Lingchuan put away the account book and stopped explaining. Instead, he looked at the eaves where the rain was dripping, and said to Dong Rui: "You're back just in time. Shall we go out for a while?"
Dong Rui stood up and stretched: "Let's go."
The two returned to He Lingchuan's courtyard together.
His residence was guarded by Yangshan guards and no one was allowed to approach.
Dong Rui understood his intention: "Where to?"
"Enter the city."
One of the great advantages of moving to Yongquan Villa is the freedom of movement. It is convenient to use the snail toad to move around, unlike in Sanmentou Posthouse where you cannot move freely and there are other people's spies everywhere.
He Lingchuan's backyard is lined with tall trees and has a deep garden. Looking down from a high place, one can only see the dense treetops.
He used the soul-catching mirror to confirm again and again that there were no monsters or magical powers stalking nearby, and only then did Dong Rui summon the snail toad.
On rainy days, the snail toad dives into the ground very smoothly.
……
Tonglinji.
The night rain was fading, but Gulin was still counting the accounts and had not gone to bed.
Tonglinji's business has been so good recently that Yang Shan has transferred so many orders to it that they can't finish them all.
Of course, for the sake of secrecy, Yang Shan did not only connect with Tonglinji, but also distributed the needs of Youhu Villa to dozens of chambers of commerce. Tonglinji received a smaller share and was not very conspicuous.
After counting the money for a while, Gulin felt a little dizzy, so he stood up and walked a few steps to stretch his muscles.
There was no one in the Chamber of Commerce on the rainy night. Even the wild cats that loved to visit didn't come. The old man guarding the door had already dozed off in the hypnotic sound of the rain.
The three lanterns under the eaves swayed gently in the wind. The middle one was dim, while the other two still used their faint light to fight against the wind and rain.
With a puff, the one on the left went out.
Gulin went out quickly to light it up regardless of the wind and rain.
It cannot be destroyed. This is a signal, a secret code indicating that he is in the Chamber of Commerce and is safe here.
Gulin was about to turn back when he suddenly felt something strange behind him, as if a breeze was blowing past.
As he turned around, he saw a person quietly appearing behind him.
Gulin was not panicked, but pushed the door open with his backhand, whispering, "You are here, please come in."
The person who came was He Lingchuan.
The door of the house next to it was open, and Wang Fubao flashed out - he was now specifically looking after Gulin, and would come out to check if there was any disturbance.
He Lingchuan waved at him, and the loyal guard walked under the eaves to keep watch for the two of them.
The two entered the house and closed the doors and windows. He Lingchuan casually put down a soundproof barrier and then sat down.
His first sentence startled Gulin: "The expansion of the capital is booming. Have you taken the opportunity to invest in some land?"
