Chapter 820 New Guests in the Old House

He yawned: "Otherwise, we should be in the desert by now."

Originally, many forces were lurking in Blackwater City, and the undercurrent was surging. As a result, the Anton people came to interfere again, which he really didn't expect.

"What should we do?" The mirror couldn't see how anxious he was.

"What can you do? Just make a mistake." He Lingchuan turned over and said, "The water is already muddy, so let's just make it a little muddier."

…

With a snap of the fingers, two days passed.

For more than twenty hours, the two sides engaged in offensive and defensive battles. Blackwater City tightly guarded the city gates and refused to send troops no matter how provocative or scolding foreign enemies were.

Because He Chunhua arrived so suddenly, the murderer who killed Governor Hu could not escape from the city. The people of Anton did not know that Blackwater City had changed its commander, and sent several soldiers with loud voices to scold Governor Hu's ancestors for eight generations.

He Chunhua walked around the tower with a smile and expressed that he was not stressed.

By the way, the murderer who attacked Governor Hu was also caught - with Blackwater City under lockdown, it was not difficult to find several murderers from out of town, especially if Zhou Peng helped identify them.

He Chunhua specially arranged for them to be tortured in public at the market entrance.

Sometimes it is necessary to kill someone to establish authority.

When those few heads fell to the ground, the people immediately felt relieved:

They actually didn't care much whether they wanted to avenge their parents, Governor Hu.

However, Mr. He handled the case quickly and calmly, which shows that he has the ability to control the overall situation and live up to the trust of the whole city.

On the morning of the third day, Zhao Qinghe came over and reported: "There are not enough arrows in the warehouse."

In city defense warfare, arrows are consumed most quickly. The workshops in the city worked overtime to produce, but the supply was still insufficient.

Not to mention, raw materials are in short supply.

The Antonians have changed their tactics. The surprise attack failed and the storming failed. Now they simply besieged the city.

Anyway, time is on their side, and the military and civilian supplies in Blackwater City will only be consumed less and less.

The people of Blackwater City always come out of the city to fight, sooner or later, otherwise they will be suffocated to death in the city.

"It would be great if I could hold on for two more days." He Chunhua sighed softly.

When he saw the inventory list of materials in Blackwater City, his eyes darkened.

When he left office, Blackwater City could not be said to be rich, but at least it had sufficient resources and strong troops.

It’s only been a year and a half, how come there’s only one treasury left?

"That's all, let's start tonight. Chuan'er, let's persuade those practitioners separately."

He Lingchuan nodded: "Who is Dad looking for?"

"Let's start with the Jianyang Sect." He Chunhua already had a clue. "Zhao Qinghe has found out clearly that the eleven members of the Jianyang Sect all live in the Sequoia Inn. This Taoist sect has a good relationship with Dayuan, so it is not difficult to persuade them."

"Then I'll start from our old house."

"Our old house?" He Chunhua was startled, "Who lives there?"

Of course he knew that the old house had been sold, but he never cared who the new tenants were.

"The first day I came back, I went to take a look around. There was a group of outsiders living there. They seemed to have high standards and were spotless, but their cultivation seemed to be quite good." He Lingchuan said, "I heard that they have been living here for several months. ”

The words "spotless" are not without purpose.

Blackwater City is adjacent to the Panlong Desert. There are strong winds and wild sand all year round. There is always a thick layer of mud on the leaves. How can someone who likes to be spotless live here?

Unless otherwise intended.

And mysophobia is not a disease that ordinary people are qualified to suffer from.

A few words indicate that the other party has an identity. Smart people will make associations when they hear it.

"How many months?" He Chunhua frowned, "Have you ever inquired about the details?"

"I asked the surrounding neighbors and I heard that they run a carriage and horse inn, and the business is as dead as the horses in the inn. But they are generous, often give rewards, and are very meticulous about food and clothing."

He came to Blackwater City several months in advance to lurk, and even found a business as a cover. This was different from what other forces did. Hmm, did they know in advance that the sudden change in Panlong Desert was about to happen? He Chunhua immediately changed his mind: "Well, I'll go meet them."

He Lingchuan had no objection: "I will accompany my father."

The purpose is achieved.

Qiu Hu and others naturally followed. He Chunhua also ordered Zhao Qinghe to recruit more than 200 people to go together.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone stood in front of the He family's old house.

The mansion that the He family had carefully built was no different from what it was more than a year ago. Even though a tile in front of the door fell off, no one repaired it. The leaves of the two large trees at the door were too dense, blocking the light in the ear room.

In the past, every three or two years, Mrs. Ying would ask someone to trim the branches and leaves and fix the shape.

After the He family moved away, its new owner was less particular.

The He family has lived here for more than ten years, and He Lingchuan felt a little emotional when he visited his old place again, but He Chunhua showed no expression and knocked on the door pull ring with his own hands.

After a while, someone inside answered the door: "Who is it?"

"General Changning, the general manager of Yazhou." He Chunhua said in a clear voice, "I have something to see your master."

The footsteps inside suddenly paused, and then disappeared away.

Not long after, the door buzzed open, and the gatekeeper poked his head out, looked at He Chunhua, and then at the large number of people behind him, with bright clothes and armor, before pushing the door open: "Please come in."

Everyone crossed the threshold and went deep into the house under the leadership of this person.

The structure here is all too familiar to the He family. After a year and a half, the plants in the garden have lost several of Mrs. Ying's favorite varieties. Although they have not grown wildly, they are neither delicate nor docile.

Obviously they were not well served.

Entering the main hall, several people were already waiting. The leader was over 40 years old, with a long beard and white face, and his eyes were half closed.

The gatekeeper introduced: "This is President Zhang of our Chamber of Commerce."

What a mess of a Chamber of Commerce, the father and son of the He family cursed in their hearts, but He Chunhua's smile was still impeccable, and he bowed to the other party: "President Zhang."

The other party returned the greeting without bending his waist: "General Manager He."

Obviously they also knew the name of He Chunhua. Blackwater City has been besieged for two days. Even the most obtuse people know what happened outside, and they also know that Hu Junshou was assassinated. Now Blackwater City has changed, and General Manager He is in charge.

Even so, they did not go out to greet them, but waited for He Chunhua to visit in person. This kind of arrogance made Zhao Qinghe and others frown secretly.

He Chunhua was not surprised, not at all.

The dignitaries of Lingxu City went to other places, and they wanted to look down on others. Not to mention the visitors from the Heavenly Palace, they all looked down on everyone. Zhang Lianhai's return of the gift was already the greatest honor for He Chunhua.

The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan's arms suddenly said, "There are people behind the hall, and there are quite a few of them."

Are they ambushed?

He Lingchuan was startled.

He Chunhua began to speak politely, "Mr. Zhang, are you used to living in the city?"
