Chapter 286: Another Expedition

It was Lu Yuanfeng who stood up to speak. Seeing that Lu Yuanfeng had taken the initiative to take responsibility, Lu Xingde, who was about to speak, could not continue to speak, and could only shut up unwillingly.

The reason why Lu Xingde wanted to plead for mercy was that, on the one hand, a traitor had been executed on the spot by himself, and he did not want the matter to be made public, which would cause the prestige of the Lu family to be greatly damaged again. On the other hand, it was also because the person below was a talent in the Lu family who managed important family affairs. Without the help of this person, the future of the Lu family would be more and more difficult.

One of the kneeling people below was a disciple of Lu Yuanfeng. He was going to kill his relatives for the sake of justice, so Gao Jinhe naturally had nothing to say and nodded to express his agreement.

Under Lu Yuanfeng's announcement, considering that the two of them did not commit the crime intentionally, they were exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to mining in Fengtou Mountain for 20 years. Their crimes were posted at the gate of Fangshi City to inform the public.

Lu Yuanfeng also punished the Lu family, who made the main mistake this time, by taking away their two shops in Qinghefang and giving one shop each to the Gao and Song families, who made the greatest contribution to guarding the market.

Lu Xingde had a hard time speaking out about this expected punishment. He had focused too much on his own practice in recent years, exploiting the resources of the entire family for his own use. In order to make the monks below work for him well, he had been too lenient with them. Today, he finally reaped the consequences.

After having the two taken away, Lu Yuanfeng said to the crowd: "I called several Taoist friends here today. In addition to dealing with the traitors in the market, I also want to discuss with you all about when we should set out to attack Eagle Nest Ridge and avenge our Taoist friends who died in this battle."

In the past few days since the market was breached, there has been no movement in Qinghefang. The main reason is that everyone knows that there is a traitor. If they act rashly, they will definitely alert the enemy and repeat the mistakes of a few years ago. By the time they arrive at Eagle Nest Ridge, the enemy will have already fled.

Now that the hidden danger of the traitor has been eliminated, the next step is naturally to take revenge on Eagle Nest Ridge. If this scourge is not completely eliminated, the people of Qinghefang will not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

"This matter still needs to be done quickly. I think the plan of Taoist Lu last time was very good. We should gather some elite troops and go ahead."

Although Gao Yubai's injuries have not fully recovered, he is now the most eager person among all the people present to seek revenge on Eagle Nest Ridge.

"It's safer to send a message to the Cao family in Pingyang County to see if they can send some more people to join the action. After all, they also want us to wipe out Yingchao Ridge." Huang Shengxin touched his beard and turned to look at Lu Yuanfeng.

Qinghefang is not entirely the business of the Qinghe County family. There is also a part of the shares that belong to Xiaoyao Sect. The biggest enemy that Cheng Yilong and his team offended by attacking Qinghefang is naturally Xiaoyao Sect. As the person in charge here, Lu Yuanfeng naturally has to take this responsibility. This is why he is so eager to discuss the counterattack against Yingchao Ridge with everyone.

Lu Yuanfeng nodded to Huang Shengxin and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, what you said makes sense. If everyone has no objection, then we can use the last plan. Let's meet up at Funiushan in three days. I will also write a letter to Pingyang County and ask them to send some people to act with us."

Seeing that everyone had no objection to this arrangement, Lu Yuanfeng said again, "Fellow Daoist Qingyu has not recovered from his injuries yet. I think you should stay in Qinghefang. The formation of the market has not been fully repaired. I will say hello to Junior Brother Ma of Fengtoushan and ask him to help take care of it. If you encounter any problems, just send a message to Fengtoushan!"

"My injuries here will not affect my actions now. Otherwise, I'd better go to Yingchao Ridge with everyone. One more person can also add a bit of strength."

Seeing that Song Qingyu actually refused Lu Yuanfeng's kindness to let her stay, Song Qingming was also a little puzzled, wondering what she wanted to do.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyu, we will accept your intention, but there must be someone in charge in Qinghefang. If you don't stay, it won't be good for me, the chief commander, to stay!"

After hearing what Lu Yuanfeng said, Song Qingyu could only sigh and agree.

After finishing the meeting and walking out of the meeting hall of the market, Song Qingming and Song Qingyu came to the Song family shop again.

After this turmoil, the two main leaders of the Song family in the market, the fourth uncle Song Changqiu, had died in the battle, and the second sister Song Qingwan was still recovering from her injuries. The Song family members who stayed in the market to manage the shop suddenly lost their backbone.

In addition to helping Song Qingyu to recuperate and protect the law in seclusion, Song Qingming spent most of his time here managing these trivial matters. He had sent a message to his family, but his sixth uncle had not replied yet. Song Qingming also knew that he might not find a suitable person for a while.

"Fourth uncle is gone, and your second aunt is injured again. You should pay more attention to the market affairs now, and stop following others. I will go back home tomorrow, so you should take care of the things here first. If there is anything difficult to decide, just ask your aunt Qingyu directly."

Song Xinhu lowered his head, listened to Song Qingming's scolding, and nodded from time to time.

After so many years of practicing Taoism, Song Xinhu has never carried out any dangerous missions under the protection of the Song family. When the market was attacked a few days ago, he was lucky and was not in the market. He accompanied Li Hongyu to Yunwu Mountain to find food for Tianhuopeng.

After returning to Qinghefang the next day, he saw the rows of corpses and other tragic scenes in the market, especially after seeing the somewhat broken corpse of the third brother Song Xinjue, who grew up with him, Song Xinhu grew up a lot.

"Seventh brother, didn't you see that Xinhu has no smile on his face these days? Why do you keep scolding him? He didn't leave the market on purpose that day." After Song Xinhu left, Song Qingyu, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but remind Song Qingming.

"I'm not scolding him for this, I just hope he can grow up quickly. You know that the world will not be peaceful forever, and you can't hide in Qinghefang to avoid it."

"It's all because I'm not capable enough. I couldn't hold on until you came, and my fourth uncle didn't have a good end."

Song Qingyu's eyes turned red again. Fourth uncle Song Changqiu was a kind person. He had taken care of almost every junior who came to Qinghefang, including Song Qingyu who liked to sneak to Qinghefang the most.

"Qingyu, if you encounter such a dangerous thing next time, I hope you can protect yourself first."
