It is said that after experiencing that incident, Liu Xiangling fell seriously ill. It was not until Liu Xiangshu wrote the letter that Liu Xiangling's health improved slightly.
It is foreseeable that the life of the father and daughter will become increasingly miserable in the future. But Lu Xu no longer cares about this. In the past two months, Qin Fenglu's fight has also entered a new stage.
Today, two months later, the biggest seasonal change is the arrival of winter. Especially after several heavy snowfalls, even ordinary people can feel that the protracted battle between the upper classes on Qinfeng Road is about to decide the winner. .
The Longmen Escort Bureau has grown rapidly in the past two months. Now the Longmen Escort Bureau has more than a thousand escorts. The number of non-staff personnel providing services to the Longmen Escort Bureau is even larger!
Under the strict blockade of the Longmen Escort Bureau, illegal smuggling trade routes were almost completely cut off. Even if those merchants who came to Qinfeng Road to suck human blood steamed buns plundered a large amount of wealth, they could only use legal channels to transport their goods.
And the legal channels are in the hands of Wen Yuanzhong. Unless Shen Binhong spares no expense to compensate the major merchants for their losses, those outside merchants will naturally turn against each other.
In order to regain Shen Binhong's trust, You Xingjian settled an account for Shen Binhong. He clearly told Shen Binhong that for the Wu family, Shen Binhong had plundered enough wealth for them during this period, even if Shen Binhong Qinfeng Road was completely destroyed, and this piece of land that could not be saved in the first place was not enough to make the Wu family feel distressed.
In other words, even if Shen Binhong gave up these benefits, he would still be a hero of the Wu family. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Shen Binhong to compensate for the losses of those merchants. This also leads to those merchants and the people behind them. The forces changed their tune and joined Wen Yuanzhong one after another.
The reason why Shen Binhong stayed in Qinfeng Road for another two months was because of the existence of Lu Xu. Lu Xu grew up too fast. It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Lu Xu, if it were not for Lu Xu, he would be the leader of the mountain. The bandits were forced into a desperate situation, and Shen Binhong would never lose to Wen Yuanzhong.
Even Wu Yuanqing felt that if Lu Xu was allowed to develop, even if Lu Xu would not become a serious problem for the Wu family, he would definitely be a very troublesome guy.
Therefore, in the past two months, Shen Binhong has been continuously collecting all kinds of evidence on Qinfeng Road and looking for various opportunities to attack Lu Xu and Wei'anbao.
However, because the Qingliu people got an advantage from Lu Xu, and because Lu Xu could help the Qingliu people realize their plan to have a big fight with the Beiting people on Qinfeng Road, and because they cared about their relationship with the Liu family, the Qingliu people always protected Lu Xu. , so Shen Binhong and others failed in their attempt to dismantle Wei'anbao from the outside.
In addition, Shen Binhong was still trying to plant spies into Wei'an Fort. However, Wei'an Fort at this time was no longer the same as before. At this time, Wei'an Fort was already a piece of iron barrels. The people inside are all familiar with each other, how can it be so easy for outsiders to be inserted in?
Under the background that only by sticking together can they survive, the residents of Wei'an Fort themselves had no reason to betray Lu Xu. That's why Shen Binhong's plan never succeeded.
only......
As time went by, Shen Binhong also had to leave Qinzhou Mansion. With the arrival of winter, the internal and external environment of Qinfeng Road changed.
The change in the internal environment is that Wen Yuanzhong gradually and completely controls the power of Qinfeng Road, and Shen Binhong's stay at Qinfeng Road will become increasingly dangerous.
The change in the external environment is that with the arrival of winter, the possibility of Beiting people going south is increasing day by day. In order to prevent death by the butcher's knife of Beiting people, Shen Binhong had to leave Qinfeng Road.
Lu Xu also felt this sense of urgency, so she decided to deal with Pei Junxiong as soon as possible, and then immediately started to move Wei'an Fort deeper into the Qinling Mountains.
In the past two months, under Lu Xu's command, Luo Yingyan had driven Pei Junxiong to a dead end.
The Longmen Escort Bureau recruited a large number of people who opened foot shops, and then asked them to go directly to Pei Junxiong's Smugglers Road to open foot shops. Some opened tea stalls, some opened wine shops, and some opened directly inns.
Anyway, the cost of these foot shops is not high, but after opening, they can be used directly as small strongholds or inns. The escorts of the Longmen Escort Bureau can block the entire smuggling trade route all year round.
This move directly improved the Longmen Escort Bureau's ability to block bandit villages by several levels! These dotted foot shops also made the death trade routes of the dark gossips hired by Shen Binhong even more deadly.
Because in order to have a good future under the wings of the Longmen Escort Bureau, these incorporated shop owners picked up dark gossip and were more ruthless than the people of the Longmen Escort Agency. As a result, the bandit village was completely isolated by Luo Yingyan and became an island. The entire Qinfeng Road arena also completely fell into Luo Yingyan's hands.
Recently, Luo Yingyan has opened his foot shop under the bandit village. The escorts of the Longmen Escort Agency who squat outside the village all year round can also drink a big bowl of catechu early in the morning, and occasionally when it snows You can also have a bowl of mutton soup, which makes your life so comfortable.
But according to what they said, the bandits who were blocked by them were living a very difficult life.
The bodyguards could hear cries coming from the village every day, and even occasionally heard the sounds of killing.
This is natural, because according to Luo Yingyan and Lu Xu's estimation, the village should have run out of food a long time ago. If they can persist until now, someone must have eaten something inedible.
Some escorts even suspected that Pei Junxiong was most likely dead. In fact, Pei Junxiong had tried to come out for a decisive battle with Luo Yingyan earlier.
But the time for their decisive battle has long passed! Now they can't afford to fight even if they want to!
In these two months, Luo Yingyan completed the great cause of unifying the world. For him and the Longmen Escort Bureau, the only thing worth guarding against was the bandit's village.
Therefore, the Longmen Escort Bureau has left more than 700 escorts outside the village, leaving only more than 200 escorts outside to maintain the operation of the Longmen Escort Bureau.
There are more than 700 eagle bows and more than 700 horse-cutting knives. This kind of power is simply not something that the bandits can challenge. If they dare to come out to fight now, only one of them will die.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Lu Xu's opinion, it is a miracle that Pei Junxiong can persist until now. He can't even figure out why Pei Junxiong's men want to fight with him?
Anyway, Lu Xu no longer has the patience to delve into the reasons behind it. He just wants to end this protracted war of attrition quickly and let Wei'an Fort quickly enter the next stage of rapid development.
So Lu Xu asked Wen Yuanzhong for an order, and he wanted to lead troops to capture Pei Junxiong.
Wen Yuanzhong no longer cared about Pei Junxiong's affairs. He had already delegated full power to Lu Xu for this matter. Now that Lu Xu felt that he could eliminate the bandits in one fell swoop, Wen Yuanzhong naturally had no reason to stop him.
As a result, the order Lu Xu wanted was quickly sent to his desk.
