Chapter 203 I’m Afraid They Won’t Come
"Ziya, the 10 million low-grade spiritual stones here are used to prepare the new army and the daily needs of the county governor's mansion. As for the rest, you can take care of it."
He has to do other things next and cannot stay in Hanyang City forever.
Therefore, the preparation of the new army and other affairs of Hanyang City were all handed over to Jiang Shang.
With Jiang Shang, Li Si, Qin Qiong and others stationed in Hanyang City, he didn't need to worry about anything.
After Jiang Shang took the storage ring, he stood up and saluted Lu Fan with clasped fists: "Ziya will definitely live up to his master's trust!"
Although letting Jiang Shang, Li Si and others stay in the small Hanyang City is completely humiliating their talents.
But there is no other way now.
After all, the only three cities in the north he can control at the moment.
But there's no rush for the time being.
Within three years, he will definitely take complete control of Daqian. By then, Jiang Shang, Li Si and others will have a stage to display their talents.
After signaling Jiang Shang to take a seat, Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng again, and said thoughtfully:
"General Gu, we also need your cooperation in the preparation of the new army. We will strive to complete the preparations in the shortest possible time."
"No!" Gu Tiefeng saluted with clasped fists.
Originally, he thought Lu Fan was planning to build a new army privately, so he was extremely worried and frightened.
But now that he knew it was His Majesty's secret order, he relaxed a lot.
Although I don't know why His Majesty issued such a secret edict, he is now surrendered to Lu Fan and naturally has to obey Lu Fan's orders.
After explaining these things, Lu Fan briefly said that he would be away for a while.
No one refused this matter.
After all, everything in the North is on track now, and Lu Fan doesn't need to be there all the time.
The only hidden danger may be the Holy Religion.
But right now, they know very little about the Holy Religion, and there is even less to gain from staying here.
What's more, the Holy Cult's current target is Lu Fan, so it doesn't pose much of a threat to Hanyang City.
Everyone knew this, so when Lu Fan finished the news that he was leaving, Gu Tiefeng couldn't help but look worried and said:
"Your Highness, the Holy Cult now hates you to the core. If you leave Hanyang City, they will definitely not let it go. What if..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Fan smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not worried about them coming to retaliate against me. I'm just worried that they won't come."
After all, a strong person in the God Refining Realm is worth millions of points.
He wished that a few more powerful people from the God Refining Realm would die so that he could earn a lot of points beautifully.
Seeing Lu Fan's confident expression eager to try, Gu Tiefeng opened his mouth and could only nod helplessly.
He and Lu Fan have known each other for a while, so he naturally knows that Lu Fan is not the kind of person who talks big.
Now that I have said this, I must be certain.
After explaining and arranging many matters, Lu Fan sent everyone away, leaving only Cao Zhengchun.
"Zhengchun, tell me about the situation in Dongchang!"
"Yes, Lord!" Cao Zhengchun nodded respectfully, and then spoke:
"Lord, there are currently 150 core members and 400 external members in the East Factory, including two members of the Condensing Soul Realm, fifteen members of the True Pill Realm, thirty-three members of the Spiritual Sea Realm, and 33 members of the Condensing Yuan Realm. One hundred people, the external members are all in the Qi Refining Realm and the Body Forging Realm..."
As Cao Zhengchun narrated, Lu Fan couldn't help but have a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
It has only been more than half a month since he left Hanyang City and returned now.
Originally, he thought that Dongchang would be very good if it had more than a hundred members.
But I never expected that there would be so many members in Dongchang.
There are one hundred and fifty core members alone, and the weakest are all at the Spiritual Sea realm.
In addition to these core members, there are four hundred external members, all of whom are practitioners.
Recruiting five hundred cultivators in just half a month is not an easy task.
Although he was very surprised, Lu Fan did not interrupt Cao Zhengchun, but continued to listen to his story.
As Cao Zhengchun told more and more news, the smile on Lu Fan's face became stronger and stronger.
This Cao Zhengchun is worthy of being the governor of Dongchang.
No one has such a powerful ability to restore the memory of the past life. If the memory of the past life can be restored, it may be how powerful it will be.
About ten minutes later, Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, and Lu Fan stood up with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay, Zhengchun, you did not disappoint me, I am very satisfied, hahahaha..."
Lu Fan said three good words in a row, came directly to Cao Zhengchun and patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Fan's attitude also brought a smile to Cao Zhengchun's face.
"Thank you for the compliment, lord!"
"Well, although you started well, you must not be careless. What you have to do next is to continue to expand.
At the very least, there must be Dongchang spies in all the cities and all the top forces in Daqian.
After Da Qian is covered, he will immediately infiltrate other dynasties and other top forces besides Da Qian..."
Just being a big guy won't satisfy him.
Although he doesn't even have control of Daqian now, this does not prevent him from making preparations in advance.
"Yes, my lord!"
"By the way, how are the guys who were sent openly? Do you have any useful information?"
Upon hearing this question, Cao Zhengchun suddenly laughed.
"My lord, my slave only used two methods, and those four guys all gave an account."
When he said this with a smile, he took out a jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to Lu Fan with both hands.
"My Lord, I have recorded all the news. As for the four guys, they are still alive for the time being. Do you want to send them off?"
After taking the jade slip, Lu Fan did not rush to check it, but smiled and said, "Let's go and see them."
When Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan caught Tuoba Yanlu and the other two and met him in Beimang Mountain, Tuoba Yanlu was very stubborn and would rather die than confess.
As a result, now everything that should and should not be said has been confessed, so he naturally wants to go and see.
After a while, the two came to the basement of the first courtyard of the County Governor's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the basement, Lu Fan saw Tuoba Yanlu and Tuoba Jinqing, who were tied to wooden pillars with their hands and feet bound.
When the four saw Lu Fan, they immediately struggled violently, and unspeakable hatred and resentment appeared in their eyes.
Their mouths were sealed by spiritual power, and they could not curse at all, and could only make angry humming sounds.
However, when the four of them saw Cao Zhengchun following Lu Fan in, they were so scared that they trembled all over.
Their faces turned extremely pale, and their eyes showed unconcealable fear.
Seeing the four guys so scared, Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that Cao Zhengchun really scared these four guys, otherwise they would never be like this.
But it's normal to think about it.
As the head of the East Factory, how could Cao Zhengchun hold the position of head without cruel and vicious means?
Not to mention dealing with all kinds of ruthless characters and forcing information out of their mouths.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan said lightly: "Open the seal on their mouths."
"Yes, lord!"
As soon as the voice fell, Cao Zhengchun opened the seal on the mouths of Tuoba Yanlu and the other four as ordered...
