Chapter 304 Under the Thick Fog

Li Qingcheng had no good solution for this strange fog. He could actually rely on the Imperial City God Construction Department.

However, the Yulin Army was different from the Shen Ce Army. As the emperor's direct guards, they had absolute influence on the Imperial City God Construction Department. They did not need to ask for help as pitifully as Deng Weixian did, but directly called the Imperial City God Construction Department over with a transfer order.

In addition, this matter was instructed by the Great Wu Emperor Jialing, and the Imperial City God Construction Department did not dare to neglect it at all. So the backbone of the entire Imperial City God Construction Department came out in full force, which was almost equivalent to moving the entire Imperial City God Construction Department directly to the Ten-mile Painting Boat.

They began to make renovations everywhere, build magic arrays, and arrange barriers, turning the entire Ten-mile Painting Boat into a construction site, which seemed to be a scene of bustling activity.

The residents and the guests who were visiting had never seen such a scene before, and they were immediately amazed. At the same time, they could not help but be more impressed by the instigator of all this - the lawless new son-in-law.

However, after the entire Imperial City Shenzao Division had done its best and worked for half a day, the Yulei River was still filled with thick fog, with no sign of dispersing.

In the end, they had to announce the failure of the entire operation and gave a shocking conclusion - the thick fog on the river surface was directly caused by the water flow in the river. The two have merged into one, and there is no way to dispel this thick fog unless the water flow is completely cut off from the upper reaches of the Yulei River.

Hearing such a conclusion, Zhou Zunian couldn't help cursing. Not to mention how important the water flow of the Yulei River is to the lives of the people in the capital, even if he is willing to cut off the water flow regardless of the people's livelihood, it is unknown how much manpower and material resources will be spent to complete such a move. By then, it will be dawn, and the Hateful Blood Demon will definitely get up and go ashore. What's the big deal about whether the thick fog is dispelled or not?

In view of this, Zhou Zunian asked Li Qingcheng to drive all the people from the Imperial City God Manufacturing Department back. Instead of letting these drunkards continue to toss here, it is better to let the Yulin Army block the entire Shili Painting Boat with heavy troops. At least there is no need to waste various precious materials.

Therefore, the bustling Ten-Li Painting Boat soon calmed down. Under the strict blockade of the Yulin Army, it was a little too quiet, forming a stark contrast with the hustle and bustle of the past.

This night was the longest night that the Ten-Li Painting Boat had never experienced.

Inside and outside, countless eyes were watching the thick fog, and people couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts what kind of indescribable things were happening under the thick fog.

The undercurrents around it were quietly unfolding in the darkness...

However, no one could guess the real situation under the thick fog at this moment.

Lu Yu didn't sleep with the beauty, nor did he sit still, and he didn't get drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

In fact, he was meeting a guest, and the reason why he made such a big noise tonight was to prevent him from being noticed by the outside world when he met the guest.

"Lao Zhang?"

But when he first saw the guest, Lu Yu himself couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Originally, he asked Wanhe Chamber of Commerce to send someone to contact him and cooperate with his actions, but he didn't expect that the person sent by Wanhe Chamber of Commerce was actually the person in charge of Wuyang County, the former butler of Yu Mansion - Lao Zhang.

At this time, Lao Zhang jumped from another ship to the deck of Lu Yu's side. Hearing Lu Yu directly call out his name, he couldn't help but be very surprised: "Young Master, you actually know me, Lao Zhang?"

Lu Yu coughed dryly and said as usual: "You got the news of the Magic Armor Corps in Wuyang County and passed the news out in time, which can be regarded as a great help to us, because I specially asked President Yu to learn some information about you."

Lao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this.

He knew everything about the Scar Guest in front of him, and he admired his powerful strength. At the same time, he also knew that since the other party was a key figure in the Lu family, he must have a significant influence on Wanhe Chamber of Commerce.

Being remembered by such a big shot has extraordinary meaning for him who has been working hard to return to the power center of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce.

"My cousin, you are too kind. I just did a trivial thing. How dare I take credit for it?"

His face was almost smiling like a flower, and he continued: "In fact, I have served Master Yu before, and I dare not forget Master Yu's teachings and exhortations for a moment... Master Yu is a man of extraordinary talent and extraordinary talent, and is destined to soar to the sky!"

"Now it seems that my cousin is not much inferior to Master Yu. Since my cousin was born, everything he did has been brilliant and famous! As long as there are holidays, I think my cousin's achievements will not be inferior to Master Yu!"

"It is such an honor for Lao Zhang to serve two young masters one after another! Lao Zhang is willing to serve my cousin with all his heart and soul, and will not hesitate to do anything for him!"

The more Lao Zhang spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes sparkled, and his voice trembled.

Lu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly. This was indeed the familiar Lao Zhang, who was good at flattery and flattery, but he was indeed quite reassuring when doing things.

"You haven't told me yet, how did you suddenly come to the capital?" Lu Yu asked.

Lao Zhang replied: "My cousin doesn't know that I am originally from the capital. I have been hanging around in the capital before I was 30 years old. After I was 30 years old, I met my master and started to follow him around the country... I am quite familiar with the affairs in the capital. This time I heard that my cousin was going to the capital, so I took the initiative to ask my master to go to the capital first to make arrangements so that I can serve people like my cousin at any time..."

Lu Yu glanced at Lao Zhang and thought to himself that this guy had a sharp vision and a first-class ability to seize opportunities. No wonder he was able to become the butler of the Yu Mansion before. If he hadn't invited a fake doctor who almost killed Rong Zhou, he might have risen to prominence with the recent rapid development of the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce.

Old Zhang said sincerely, "My cousin is really good! Now the outside is in chaos. Jingzhao Prefecture, Shen Ce Prefecture, and Yulin Army are all waiting for my cousin to show up. I heard that people from Jiumen Commandery and Wucheng Military Command are also on their way..."

"But with so many people, they can't do anything about my cousin's thick fog. They can only wait outside. I have been in the capital for so many years, but I have never seen such a scene tonight!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly. In fact, strictly speaking, all of this was Fang Haoran's credit. This thick fog was the effect of a talisman he got from Fang Haoran. He himself didn't expect it to cause such a big momentum.

At this time, Lao Zhang suddenly stretched his neck to look at the cabin behind Lu Yu, and continued: "My cousin has made such a big scene for tonight's appointment. I think the things he wants to explain must be very important. I wonder if I can show it now?"

Lu Yu was very satisfied with Lao Zhang's caution and smiled: "Don't worry, there is a barrier between you and me, and outsiders can't spy on it. Besides, I have already made them drunk..."

Lao Zhang took the opportunity to flatter him again: "My cousin is really skilled, Duan Tongtian, I am relieved. If you have anything to do, please tell me!"

Lu Yu asked, "How many people does your Wanhe Chamber of Commerce have in the capital now?"

Old Zhang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yunxiang has never been the focus of our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, so we don't have many people in the capital, only about a hundred people, but they are all trustworthy brothers and sisters!"

Lu Yu immediately knew what was going on, nodded slightly, and then took out a list of items from his arms and handed it to Old Zhang.

"Prepare the things on it for me within three days, and then put them in the designated place. The whole process must be kept absolutely confidential, and no news can be leaked. Can you do it?"

Old Zhang took the list, glanced at it hurriedly, and his old face was almost wrinkled into a knot.

"This... Young Master, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. Many of the things on your board are contraband. If you only have three days..."

Lu Yu interrupted directly, "If this matter is handled properly, I can recommend you to President Yu and transfer you back to the headquarters of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. How about that?"

Old Zhang snapped the paper shut, put it in his arms, and then patted his chest.

"Young Master, everything is ready. I'll hurry up and do it. Wait for my good news!"

After saying that, he jumped back on the original boat and drove away without delaying for a moment.

Lu Yu watched his figure disappear in the thick fog in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

In fact, the palace treasure theft he had talked about with Lou Qianqian and Zhou Peiling before was just a trick to confuse outsiders.

As for how to transfer the personnel of the Alchemy Bureau out of Beijing, what he really relied on was the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, which had always cooperated with him.
