Chapter 99 Food Protection
"What opinion could I possibly have?"
Li Mingshan lost his spirit and collapsed to the ground.
But it's not over yet.
"Li Mingshan, where is your River Gang's warehouse?"
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
Li Mingshan countered with a question.
He held absolutely no hope for it.
"Take me there, and I'll let you go."
"real?"
Li Mingshan's eyes widened, and with a sudden surge of strength, he stood up from the ground, looked up, and asked, "Why? You've killed countless people, why didn't you kill me?"
Lu Lin smiled. "Because you're still useful."
In the end, Li Mingshan still managed to get the supplies from the gang's warehouse with Lu Lin.
Very few.
According to Li Mingshan himself, the gang was backed by two martial arts schools, and a large portion of the money he earned was handed over to them.
This is why the River Gang has so many skilled martial artists.
"If you let me go, aren't you afraid I'll go and find some martial arts masters to deal with you?"
"You can give it a try, but whether you'll be so lucky next time is uncertain. Now, you can leave."
Lu Lin waved.
Li Mingshan left in disgrace.
He didn't know if he would have good luck next time, but if he returned to Qingshui Camp like this and told the two martial arts schools about the River Gang, he would probably get a beating first.
Li Mingshan, bewildered, arrived at a riverbank in Qingshui Bay.
He slowly walked in.
Just then, the dark and silent night sky suddenly turned red.
The entire sky was filled with a bright and fiery red.
"Is it dawn yet?"
Li Mingshan thought to himself.
"What happened?"
Lu Lin, who was returning to the Qingshui Gang's base, also stopped.
At this moment, the strange changes in the sky can be seen from every corner of Qinbei Prefecture.
Nobody knows what happened.
However, the red light appeared quickly and dissipated just as quickly.
Just a few breaths later, the red light that filled the sky dissipated, and darkness once again enveloped the earth.
This is not an illusion.
Lu Lin shook his head, feeling no joy at the prospect of annexing the River Gang.
The next morning.
The Clear Water Gang completed the complete takeover of the River Gang.
The news surprised the most, especially the Five Lakes Gang, who had never dealt with Lu Lin before.
The Five Lakes Gang was in complete chaos.
Some chose to confront Lu Lin head-on, some chose to temporarily avoid his sharp edge, and some even chose to follow a strong person like Lu Lin.
They found out the news.
Lu Lin is not old, but his cultivation has already reached the perfection of Bone Refinement.
Killing ordinary Bone Refining level cultivators is as easy as killing chickens.
But such a voice was too small and was quickly drowned out by the other two factions.
Ultimately, the Five Lakes Gang chose to wait and see.
Do not provoke the Qingshui Gang.
After all, the River Gang has two martial arts schools behind them, and there are no fewer than five experts at the five internal organs level in these schools.
Everything depends on whether Lu Lin can survive the upcoming test.
Lu Lin didn't think too much about it; he found the place where Zhang Yuying was being held early in the morning.
The room was decorated in red, and Zhang Yuying sat blankly on the edge of the bed, dressed in a wedding gown.
She didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard Lu Lin push the door open and enter.
"Is it time yet?"
Lu Lin coughed lightly. "Miss Zhang Yuying, my name is Lu Lin. I'm here to take you home."
"go back?"
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Yuying's face.
Half a day later.
Lu Lin brought Zhang Yuying to the Qingshui Camp government office, where he handed over the head of Qu Jianghe, the leader of the Qingshui Gang, and received a reward for completing the mission.
Further investigation revealed that Zhang Yuying's father had posted the task.
Having successfully completed both tasks, Lu Lin left Zhang Yuying at the yamen and departed with the task completion receipt.
In a good mood, Lu Lin first went to eat a large bowl of meat noodles.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, a fight suddenly broke out nearby.
Both sides were dressed in matching tight-fitting outfits, some with muscles trained and others with bones trained.
"Disciples from the same martial arts school actually started fighting like this?"
Lu Lin picked up the bowl of noodles.
However, one of the disciples was beaten to the side of Lu Lin's table, spilling the chopsticks, spoons, chili oil, and vinegar all over the floor.
Lu Lin seemed not to notice and took a big gulp of sugar.
The next second, a disciple raised his knife and slashed at Lu Lin.
"Is this never going to end?"
Lu Lin turned around, dodging the opponent's knife, and kicked the opponent to the ground.
"Third senior brother, save me!"
The disciple who had been kicked down cried for help. Lu Lin took a bite of a large piece of meat, and the broth dripped down the corner of his mouth. Lu Lin reached out and wiped it away.
At this moment, a tall, burly martial artist with a fierce look on his face looked at Lu Lin.
"Kid, you dare to meddle in the affairs of our Mantis Martial Arts School? You're asking for death!"
This third senior brother has reached the Bone Refining level in cultivation.
He cleaved his opponent in two with a single stroke and strode quickly to Lu Lin.
He slashed down with a single stroke.
But just as the blade was about to strike Lu Lin's head, it couldn't bring itself to cut down.
Lu Lin pinched the blade between two fingers.
"I just want a bowl of noodles, and you're chopping and hacking at it like that. Can't a person eat their noodles in peace?"
"Kid, let go!"
The third senior brother tried to draw his knife.
It was as if the knife was welded to Lu Lin's hand; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.
"Third Senior Brother, the city guards are here! Let's retreat!"
Someone shouted from a distance.
Then came a series of hurried but orderly footsteps.
The third senior brother glared at Lu Lin hatefully, then abandoned his knife and ran away.
The people from the Mantis Martial Arts School left.
The city guards did not pursue them, but instead checked on the wounded on the ground and gathered them together.
Whether anyone comes to claim it later is up to us.
"Huh, Lu Lin?"
Just as the city guards were about to leave, someone recognized Lu Lin.
Lu Lin looked up and saw that it was Yu Tong.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing here?"
Yu Tong then confirmed that he had not misread the words, waved for his men to take their men back first, and sat down next to Lu Lin.
"Sigh, this is like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year; things are getting worse every year."
Yu Tong originally served as the commander of the city guard in Jinshan Prefecture.
However, after the arrival of the Spirit Monkey Guard, instead of taking action against the administrative system of Qinbei Prefecture, they took over the city guards of all the prefectures and counties.
He preferred to appoint his own people.
The commanders and captains below also underwent a major reshuffle and purge.
Those who break the rules are beheaded without even a trial.
Circumstances dictate that Yu Tong had no choice but to yield and was assigned to serve as a captain in the Qingshui Camp.
Not only was he demoted one level, but he also had to lead people on frequent missions.
"Don't even mention it, it makes me angry. This Qingshui Camp is in complete chaos. Martial arts schools fight in broad daylight. The government can't handle these things, so they can only send in the city guards."
"The problem is that you can't really punish them; every time you come out, you have to clean up the mess."
As Yu Tong finished speaking, he picked up Lu Lin's large bowl and took a sip of soup.
"Brother Yu, this is the one I drank from."
"How was yours? We're all brothers, are you trying to protect your food?"
Yu Tong glared and, unwilling to admit defeat, took another sip.
Lu Lin was both amused and exasperated. "Brother Yu, I was just afraid you'd find it offensive."
"What's there to complain about? That's exactly what I did in the army."
At this point, Yu Tong sighed, "It's a good thing you didn't come with me to join the city guard, otherwise..."
