85 Crisis and Opportunity(1/3)

 Time passes.

The situation in Songyicheng has become increasingly tense, and even civilians feel that something is wrong.

The conflict between the three major gangs has intensified a lot.

The two major forces, Feihong Gang and Jiuxing Gang, have gradually shrunk, giving up most of their territory outside the city, consolidating their wealth, and preparing to move their families to other cities.

There are not many families behind the two major forces who join the City Guards, so it is easy to escape. However, the Xing family is deeply bound to the City Guards, and there is no way to escape easily.

But it's not all bad.

This war is both a crisis and an opportunity for the Xing family.

As long as they win this battle, save Songyicheng, and embezzle the properties of other aristocratic families, their Xing family will be the only aristocratic family in Songyicheng!

The spring breeze blows.

All things revive.

However, people's hearts are even more desolate than in the cold winter.

There were not many pedestrians on the street. Baiwei Street was no longer as lively as it used to be, and many stalls were closed.

In Bidan Tea House.

The tea house business is extremely deserted.

More than ten days have passed, and the news that Baohe City was captured by the rebels has been spread by people who are interested.

Nowadays, people in the city are in panic, and few people are in the mood or have the spare money to listen to books.

"Alas..."

Manager Wu sighed, his fat face looking extremely haggard.

He is just an ordinary person. Facing the war, the best choice is to stay in the city.

The risk of following the trend of escaping is very high. The biggest possibility is to become a refugee or a soul killed by bandits.

Even if you are lucky enough to come to another city, it is not easy to start over and find a job that can support your family.

"Stop sighing, I feel like my ears are getting calluses. Come on, let's have a drink of wine to relieve our boredom." Xie Jiang poured a glass of wine for Manager Wu and said with a smile.

"What about the last proposal? Are you interested in leaving with the Feihong Gang and heading to Bafang City?"

"Bafang City is much more prosperous than Songyi City. With your ability, it's easy to find a living job there." Lin Zheyu looked towards Wu Yinghe Road.

Senior Brother Han was unable to evacuate early due to his sensitive status, so he could only do what he could.

And Wu Yinghe is just an ordinary person. If he wants to evacuate, it is still very simple.

As a member of the Feihong Gang, Lin Zheyu can leave with his family. He has no family, so he can give his place to Manager Wu.

He doesn't have many friends in Songyicheng. Jia Yanyong and the others are good members of the Feihong Gang themselves, so they don't need this quota.

"It's not that easy. Most of the people in the city affected by the war have moved their families to Bafang City. Now it must be a mess."

"When we get there, it may not be more comfortable than staying in Songyi City."

Wu Yinghe shook his head, his face was very troubled.

There have been a lot of random rumors lately.

People are spreading rumors that the rebel army is an army of justice, coming to eradicate the tyranny of the Wei Dynasty so that people will no longer be oppressed and exploited by aristocratic families and the government!

Make life fairer and richer.

Wu Yinghe didn't know whether he should believe it or not. If the rebel army was really a benevolent and righteous army, then staying in Songyicheng would be a good choice.

"It's still a long time, think about it yourself." Lin Zheyu patted Wu Yinghe on the shoulder and said.

"The plan to evacuate Songyi City has been finalized recently. There will be a total of three batches of evacuation. The first batch to evacuate are family members, and we are not included."

Lin Zheyu looked at Jia Yanyong and others and said.

In fact, he could also evacuate with the first group, but Lin Zheyu refused. He wanted to stay in Songyicheng for a while longer.

For ordinary people, the loss of order means danger.

But for him, whose Qi and blood have changed, the loss of order means opportunity.

The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities he has to fish in troubled waters.

"The second batch was evacuated when the rebels launched an attack on Guanning City. The evacuated people were the family members of the gang who wanted to evacuate with the Feihong Gang. The specific time will be notified."

"The third batch was evacuated before the rebel army launched an attack on Songyi City. At this time, except for some members, everyone else evacuated Songyi City."

Lin Zheyu explained the evacuation arrangements to several people.

Although they have made plans to evacuate, these aristocratic families have not completely given up on their properties in Songyicheng.

The industry in Songyicheng is the result of the hard work of several generations of the family. After giving up, it is almost impossible to move to other cities to develop and expand to the current level.

You are lucky if you can recover 20 to 30% of your energy.

They plan to gradually evacuate and slowly give up some benefits. Even if Songyi City is saved in the end, the loss will not be too heavy.

It's just that the Xing family probably won't let them get their wish and will hinder them.

"You will notify us later and collect a list of members who are willing to evacuate together." Lin Zheyu said to several people.

"Okay!"

Jia Yanyong and others nodded yes.

After drinking the remaining wine in the jug, they went to gather the gang and collect information.

Return to the yard.

Lin Zheyu started practicing as usual.

In the past ten days, his strength has improved tremendously, and he is not far from reaching the seventh level of perfection.

Boo hoo hoo.

The light of the sword flashed in the yard, and the long sword was in Lin Zheyu's hand like an arm.

After several months of hard training, Liuhe Dao is not far away from reaching the perfect level.

However, whether the sword skills are perfect or not will not greatly improve Lin Zheyu's combat effectiveness.

His main way of fighting now is to rely on his light kung fu and body skills that are far beyond ordinary people, combined with the use of sword skills.

With the cooperation of the superb Jin Yan Kung, even average sword skills can exert extremely terrifying power.

Only when facing a warrior who is stronger than him, or an opponent whose speed is comparable to his, is it necessary to compete in the realm of sword fighting.

After practicing continuously for more than two hours, Lin Zheyu stopped breathing slightly.

【God rewards those who work hard】

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source power:0

Skills:

Man Niu Fist (Perfect)

Liuhe Knife (Dacheng 10%)

Jin Yan Gong (7th level 83%)

Wan Junbu (4th level 97%)

Poison King Body (0% on the first level)

Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 4%)

"It's almost time. In ten days, we will be able to accumulate enough source power to break through to the third transformation of qi and blood, and reach the level where qi and blood are as strong as a tiger."

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and said secretly.

After reaching the second transformation of qi and blood, he will increase his source power by two units every three times he breaks through the limit, and the speed of accumulating source power is much faster.

However, correspondingly, the difficulty of improving the realm has also increased.

Nowadays, one unit of source power needs to be used with eight medicinal materials of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, which can increase the progress by about 9%.

Fortunately, I have earned a lot of money recently by relying on my skills and blood pills, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to sustain such consumption.

Lin Zheyu had no idea that the blood pill was so valuable that it could be sold for four hundred taels of silver.

In his opinion, after the Blood Pill breaks through to the Qi and Blood Realm, the path to further improvement is cut off. The value is not very high. If it is sold for about two hundred taels of silver, it is a very high price.

But Senior Brother Han directly offered forty taels of gold, which is four hundred taels of silver.

This price is not a small amount.

Purchasing the skills and blood pills almost depleted Senior Brother Han's savings, many of which were the silver of Senior Brother's entire family.

In the end, Lin Zheyu gave Senior Brother Han a lot of treasured poisons, and after persuading him to accept them for free.

Otherwise, after earning so much money from Brother Han, Lin Zheyu always felt that he had taken advantage of him, and couldn't help but feel guilty.
