Chapter 516 To Borrow or Not to Borrow

As we all know, the Red Lantern Goddess is just a small altar god in a newly built temple...

And this leader of the Truth Church, Zhong Benyi, is the legendary General of Heaven's Mandate, which means he is destined by heaven, blessed by ghosts and gods, and supported by the legendary nobles. He is so powerful that believers all call him the wise master from heaven.

And now, this General of Heaven's Mandate has appeared in front of everyone for the first time since he came to Mingzhou, and he has shown his means.

But looking at the sudden rise of the wind, the majestic and awe-inspiring, but not even a red lantern was blown out, and even this small altar god could not be forced back, so your "heavenly destiny" seems to be of great value...

At this moment, everyone seemed to be holding back their breath, but they dared not vent it out loud.

And in these countless eyes, the man riding on the back of the red-haired fire bull was also slightly silent, as if he was surprised at the thickness of the foundation of the Red Lantern Goddess.

He also felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have worried about casualties just now, so he left three-tenths of his strength unused... He clearly felt that he was just a little short of suppressing the Red Lantern Lady.

But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was inappropriate to take action again, so he just kept silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, looked at the red lantern floating in the air, and said lightly: "In an emergency, I have to make decisions. I hope that the Red Lantern Lady will forgive me and don't blame me for being rude."

"I came to Mingzhou because the world has suffered for a long time, natural disasters and man-made disasters, evil spirits have grown, yin and yang are out of order, and evil spirits eat people. I only want to raise my arms and call for a righteous army, from north to south, to kill evil spirits and eliminate bandits, and return a bright world to the people of the world."

"Now my heart He has great ambitions and has gathered 100,000 righteous men to follow him, but he has nothing but passion and food. Now he is going to Mingzhou to borrow 100,000 dan of grain and 1,000 jars of blood food as military supplies to promote great things. "

"When the bandits are pacified and I return to the fields, I will definitely pay it back tenfold. I am willing to use the blood letter as a proof, and the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth will all come to witness it!"

"..."

Hearing his words, the gang members in the Red Lantern Club and the nobles who followed him out of the city were all shocked.

Usually, the Blood Food Gang transports blood Tai Sui in jars of ten pounds. He asked for a thousand jars. Doesn't this mean that he wants 10,000 pounds of blood food?

Even if the Blood Food Gang relies on blood food for their livelihood, who can afford more than 10,000 pounds of such precious things?

The most important thing is that, listening to his polite words, full of righteousness, but with a kind of pressure that cannot be refused, all the sects looked at the Red Lantern Lady with concern, as if they could feel the invisible pressure on her.

The cold wind was silent in the night sky, and the red lanterns were shining brightly, but there was no movement.

At this moment, the left protector of the Red Lantern Society, Shen Hongzhi, could no longer hide behind. She stepped forward coldly, wiped the blood splashed on her face, and sneered: "Haha, it sounds good. If you really come to borrow blood food, then we are not without discussion."

"But you didn't even say hello, but sent people to attack. Explain, what does this mean?"

"..."

The general of destiny frowned when he heard the words, and looked at her with a cold look, but it made people dare not look directly at the cold and fierce coldness.

The left protector couldn't help but tremble slightly when he met this gaze, but he only paused, then reacted. Instead of hiding, he met his gaze and glared at him fiercely.

The general frowned slightly, and his eyes swept to the two leaders of the Truth Church in the field. The Truth Church has always been strict in its orders. If someone really disobeyed its orders and took up arms without permission, it would not be forgiven easily.

Facing his gaze, the two leaders knelt down hurriedly and said, "It should be a misunderstanding. Just now we did see someone holding the banner of our Truth Church and entering the Red Lantern Society to make trouble, but it is absolutely true that they are not our people. Please check it clearly, General."

The left protector of the Red Lantern Society shouted, "We brothers from the Red Lantern Society have seen it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears. Is there anything wrong?"

The two men were dragged into a fight for no reason, and their hearts were really confused. It was difficult to distinguish for a while, so they just pretended not to hear and kowtowed to the general of the destiny.

"There must be something fishy about this matter. Maybe there is really some daring demon who used the name of our Truth Church to hurt the harmony. Don't worry, Red Lantern Goddess, I will investigate it and give you an explanation."

After saying that, he waved his hand and shouted: "First, take down these two people, seize the body of the altar master, and interrogate them strictly. If you are really disrespectful to Red Lantern Goddess, I will personally cut off your heads and offer them in front of Red Lantern Goddess!"

Seeing his grim words, the people who followed him immediately stepped forward, arrested the two men, seized their weapons, and tied them up. The two men looked wronged, but they did not dare to resist at all.

Everyone around was shocked when they saw this scene. They were a little scared by the courage of this true general. At the same time, countless eyes looked over. Those with shallow eyesight only felt that this heavenly general took the initiative to bow his head, which seemed to have lost face.

Those with good eyesight understood that this was a set-up for the Red Lantern Society. They gave the Red Lantern Society enough face at once and forced the Red Lantern Society into a corner. With this incident as a cushion, will you lend the blood food?

"Leave someone here to guard, help the injured brother back to the town, and use black ointment to treat the wound."

Facing the gazes of countless people, Shen Hongzhi, the left protector of the Red Lantern Society, also took a deep breath. Although she was a bit reckless, she was smart. She realized the pressure and could only make arrangements first: "Everyone who burns incense, get on the horse, follow me to send the queen back!"

"Yes!"

Someone was busy making arrangements, and someone came over to ask: "Do you want to open a position and see if there is anything wrong with Blood Food?"

"Need not."

But the Zuo Guardian shook his head and said: "There was blood and people died here just now. It is too dangerous to open a warehouse at night. Wait until you have cleaned up and the rooster crows before opening the warehouse for inspection."

In fact, she didn't think it was a big problem. After all, they had been guarding the warehouse just now. The brothers worked hard and defended it to the death, and no one came close to the warehouse door.

After giving the instructions, I went back to the temple in Zhumen Town to discuss it.

Before leaving, he subconsciously took a look at the crowd: "Where is that pretty girl who worked so hard just now? I seem to have seen her before, but I forgot her name. If I find her, I will promote her."

“I’ve already made another profit before I even start dividing…”

Nowadays, Sweet Potato Shao took advantage of the chaos and ran away for more than ten miles. He found a quiet and deserted grave and squatted down. He took out a thick stack of paper money, counted it briefly, and suddenly said happily: "It still belongs to my family." Life is more valuable..."

"When I came back from the mountains, in order to compete with Senior Baigan, I spent half of the paper money I had saved for several years, and now I made a lot of money back..."

"..."

He proudly took out a handful and threw it into the air, then muttered in his mouth and stamped his feet vigorously: "Kowtow to the ghosts and gods from the five directions. The yin soldiers and ghost generals are real spirits. I will ask the real spirits to carry the sedan, and I will buy it with three knives of paper money." Road trip."

Just read it, stamp his feet, and as the paper money fell to the ground, countless twitching little devil heads came out of the ground, beaming with joy:

"Grandma is looking for someone to carry the sedan again?"

"I'll come, I'll come. Grandma was very generous with the money. I even called my three aunts and eight aunts..."

"..."

But it was this grandma who paid generously when she asked people to carry the sedan chair, and her reputation spread. When she gave the order, more than a dozen brats came, and even one of them stuck out his head from the grave, looking at the fall with greedy eyes. He burned the paper money at his feet while eating sweet potatoes.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing so many enthusiastic little devils, Diguashao was also very excited: "Come all, come all, grandma, I have a lot of rewards, please bring my sedan here quickly..."

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the ghosts roared in. From a distance, they looked like black tide, wrapped in a paper sedan. For those who didn't know, they thought the ghost king was traveling and being escorted by hundreds of ghosts.

"If this continues, I'm afraid senior Lao Baigan won't be able to defeat me..."

When she sat in the sedan chair, she enjoyed the kid's flattery and became more and more proud: "I just don't know how well Senior Lao Baigan casts this spell. If this vote really turns into thousands of kilograms of blood food, then I will sit on it in the future." Don’t we have to sit in two sedan chairs?”

…

…

But when everyone dispersed and the chaos subsided, Hu Ma was also looking at the row of large vats in front of him, slightly confused.

No, it’s really not that I am short-sighted, the main thing is...

...This harvest is a bit exaggerated.

Earlier, he heard from Master Xu Xiang that there might be tens of thousands of kilograms of blood food in the blood food warehouse. He was already excited, but he remained calm, knowing that these were mostly imaginary numbers. After all, he was in charge of personnel affairs and could not enter the warehouse. Come and count them yourself.

When it comes to the blood food in this barn, seven to eight thousand kilograms would be extremely ideal. In addition, there are two barns, and one of them can hold three to four thousand kilograms. It's crazy.

But now, looking at it, only one warehouse has been moved, and there are ten tanks.

He roughly weighed it. If there were more than a thousand kilograms of blood food in one large vat, wouldn't it be possible that these ten large vats would weigh fifteen or six thousand kilograms?

No, there are so many blood foods in the blood food warehouse in Mingzhou?

Look at Xiao Hongtang again. She seems to be tired now. She is sitting against the wall. Her eyes seem to be a little blurred with fatigue. But after a while, she turns around to look at the ten large tanks, and her face is full of sadness. He showed a happy smile.

"Come on, Xiao Hongtang, let's have some midnight snack first..."

Hu Ma felt distressed just looking at it. He casually opened a large vat, took out a piece of blood food wrapped in oilcloth from the inside, opened it, tore off another piece from the top, put it in front of Xiao Hongtang, and handed it to Xiao Hongtang. Got her.

Xiao Hongtang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she suddenly became alert: "Ten of them!"

"Yes yes yes."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Xiao Hongtang is so diligent, I will give you twenty."

"But it's not good to eat too much of this. I'll save the rest for you first and give it to you when you're hungry, okay?"

Seeing Xiao Hongtang as if she had made a lot of money, the little grimace with a sinister smile had a sunny feeling. Hu Ma touched her little head with satisfaction and sneered in her heart: "Haha, little one Hongtang, little Hongtang, you are still too young..."

"Don't say I'll give you twenty pills, I'll give you a hundred pounds per tank, and I'll make a lot of money..."
