895, The Black Feather Army Attacks (First Update)
On Earth, Lu Shu did a lot of business, such as selling boiled eggs, stinky tofu, and even selling spirit stones to major organizations, but he didn't have the sense of accomplishment he has now, as if he, Lu Shu, was standing at the forefront of the times...
Lu Shu suddenly thought that if he was the old God King, he would probably feel more comfortable here, like using the wisdom of the predecessors to crush the natives, but this is not Lu Shu's home after all.
Ye Xiaoming, the leader of the Wuwei Army, suddenly handed an invitation letter to Qinglong Village, inviting Lu Shu to the City Lord's Mansion for a while.
Although Lu Shu didn't take Ye Xiaoming seriously during this period, he still asked Li Heitan to send a portion of the soap dividends regularly. The person who can become a leader from a street kid must be extraordinary, and Lu Shu doesn't want to see the other party desperate.
But that's all.
Lu Shu sat on the wall of the village and looked down at the messenger sent by Ye Xiaoming: "Go back and tell Ye Xiaoming that if you want to chat, come to Qinglong Village to chat."
The messenger didn't expect Lu Shu to be so tough. He went back to inform Ye Xiaoming that the king of Qinglong Village was too arrogant and actually asked you to go up the mountain...
So Ye Xiaoming went up the mountain.
Lu Shu looked at Ye Xiaoming and smiled, "What can I do for you, Commander Ye?"
Ye Xiaoming thought for a moment and said, "Recently, Nan Geng City has been at war with the Black Feather Army, and the troops are at the gates of the city. The Black Feather Army suddenly sent two first-class generals to attack Nan Geng City, which has now put Nan Geng City in danger. I need to make early preparations for the situation. If the Qingsai Army is useless, my Yun'an City will be the next target of the Black Feather Army."
Lu Shu was stunned for a long time: "Why are you telling me this?"
Ye Xiaoming was silent for a long time: "Your Qinglongzhai is doing a booming business now. New merchants come and go every day, and the goods are pulled out by carts. I have to say that you are probably the richest person in Yun'an City now."
"Speak human language."
"I need military funds..." Ye Xiaoming said.
"Negative emotion value from Ye Xiaoming, +666!"
Although Ye Xiaoming, the leader of the Wuwei Army, is a bit miserable compared to other army leaders, he has never asked the bandits for military expenses like he did today...
To be honest, Ye Xiaoming is not the first member of the Wuwei Army to ask Qinglong Village for money. Now a quarter of the Wuwei Army has started to grow peanuts, and after growing peanuts, they are waiting for Qinglong Village to give them financial subsidies.
Gradually, it seemed as if the man from Qinglong Village was the Lord of Yun'an City and the Commander of the Wuwei Army...
Ye Xiaoming had never seen such a strange thing in his life...
Lü Shu looked at Ye Xiaoming: "Are you asking for money?"
Ye Xiaoming said patiently: "Think about it, if I can't defend Yun'an City, won't it affect you?"
Lu Shu thought so, but he believed that even if he gave Ye Xiaoming money, the other party would not be able to defend it. However, Lu Shu suddenly smiled and said: "It's impossible to give money for free, but I want to make a deal with you."
"Deal?" Ye Xiaoming was stunned for a moment and asked: "What deal?"
"You let all the Wuwei Army grow peanuts, and I will give you the money," Lu Shu smiled and said: "This is the first point."
Ye Xiaoming's eyes lit up at that time. He knew that the subsidy for growing peanuts in Qinglong Village was not low. If he could distribute all the money in his hands, he would make much more money than his previous routine.
Although the city lord suddenly became a farmer, Ye Xiaoming felt that money was not an option in this world. Originally, Ye Xiaoming was thinking about finding an opportunity to kill Qinglong Village every day, but now seeing such a huge benefit, he temporarily suppressed this thought.
Ye Xiaoming asked: "What else is the deal?"
"I want to join your Wuwei Army, and then you give me the quota for the selection to Jianlu this year," Lu Shu looked at Ye Xiaoming with a smile.
Originally, he planned to join the Wuwei Army honestly, but he was forced to go to the mountains to become a bandit due to life pressures, but this does not mean that Lu Shu gave up the plan to go to Jianlu, he wants to find his way home there!
However, when Ye Xiaoming heard that Lu Shu was going to Jianlu, he suddenly became excited: "Are you going to Jianlu? There is no need to trade. How about I, Ye Xiaoming, give you this place? I will write you a letter of recommendation and add my tiger seal when I go back. When are you leaving? I, Ye Xiaoming, wish you success in the selection and entering Jianlu in advance!"
Lu Shu: "..."
He looked at Ye Xiaoming and suddenly felt like the villagers were setting off firecrackers to celebrate after the bully left the village. Ye Xiaoming was the bullied villager, and he, Lu Shu, was the bully...
Ye Xiaoming had been thinking about how to drive away the king in Qinglong Village, but after thinking it over, he felt that Qinglong Village was too strong and he might not be able to drive him away by force...
After all, he, Ye Xiaoming, was also a well-known leader in Nanzhou, but he ended up living such a miserable life every day!
Now that he knew that the other party actually wanted to go to Jianlu, that was... simply too good!
In the past, Ye Xiaoming always charged money to send nobles to Jianlu for selection, but this time, Lu Shu wanted to go, and Ye Xiaoming would rather pay for it... as long as Lu Shu was willing to go!
If he, Ye Xiaoming, was the local emperor of Yun'an City, then the one from Qinglong Village was almost the emperor...
Lu Shu stared at Ye Xiaoming, who was almost happy, for a long time and waved his hand: "Go away, remember to send me the recommendation letter as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay," Ye Xiaoming left happily. He really felt that today's trip was worthwhile. Lu Shu was willing to go to Jianlu for further studies, which was the best news!
Lu Shu thought that although it was a bit awkward, at least he got the quota to Jianlu, and the things he originally thought were difficult were now solved.
However, less than two hours after Ye Xiaoming left, Li Heitan, who was supposed to be in Yun'an City, ran back with his men, leaving their armor behind, with blood on his face.
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment: "What happened?"
"An elite unit of the Xizhou Black Feather Army secretly bypassed the Yuntian Mountains and attacked Yun'an City!" Li Heitan panted and said: "Yun'an City Lord Ye Xiaoming has been surrounded and killed by the Black Feather Army on the way back to the city!"
Lu Shu was stunned on the spot. At this moment, his only thought was... his recommendation was in vain again.
Lu Shu fell into deep doubt about his life... Is it so difficult to get a recommendation letter? He has become a bandit and still can't get one? ! He just agreed with Ye Xiaoming about this, but Ye Xiaoming died in the battle? This is so poisonous!
At this moment, Lu Shu's heart was in a mess. Why did the Black Feather Army come to kill him at this time?
Lu Shu followed Li Heitan to Anshan where he could see Yun'an City from afar. With just one glance, Lu Shu was sure that Yun'an City would definitely fall. The black armor and fierce horses of the Black Feather Army charged like dragons in the Wuwei Army, and the vagrants of the Wuwei Army could only run away.
Suddenly, a cavalryman wearing heavy black armor raised his head and looked towards Anshan, and seemed to be looking at Lu Shu from a distance!
