My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

At this moment, Lu Zheng, accompanied by Zhao Xin, arrived at Ruanyu Pavilion, another brothel in Fufeng County, which was no less impressive than the former Baihua Tower.

Since the latter was blocked.

The meetings of the upper echelons of Fufeng County have moved here, but during this period, few imperial officials have come.

After all, the Hundred Cavalry Division has recently been arresting remnants of the imperial court like madmen.

Especially after the Baihualou was shut down, some officials were implicated and arrested that very night.

Therefore, officials dare not come out until this storm passes.

In other words, it was some local powerful figures who would come when they were bored.

After Lu Zheng and Zhao Xin arrived, He Yun, a captain of the Zhenbei Army, was already waiting inside.

The doors to the private rooms were pushed open, and He Yun quickly stood up, looking at Lu Zheng and saying, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Lord Lu. As you know, your department has been conducting strict inspections lately, so I didn't dare to go out to greet you. It's really impolite of me."

Lu Zheng said softly, "You're too kind, Captain."

Today, He Yun was not wearing armor, but only a black robe and a leather hat, looking like an ordinary wealthy merchant.

After Lu Zheng sat down, he quickly ordered dishes to be served and also asked a woman to come and drink with him.

With Zhao Xin mediating, the situation wasn't awkward.

When everyone had drunk enough and were getting into the mood,

He Yun chuckled and said, "Lord Lu, I heard from Zhao Xin that you have connections to get caravans out of the city? Look, my cousin's caravan has been staying in Fufeng County for over a month now, and the people and horses are exhausted."

Moreover, and most importantly, whether this batch of goods is sold or not, this business will be over. So could you do me a favor and get this batch of goods out? If it works out, I, Lao He, will owe you a favor.

"If my brother asks for my help in the future, I will definitely listen without hesitation."

As they were talking, He Yun pushed a box over, and Zhao Xin quickly opened it.

Inside was a thick stack of silver notes, amounting to about two thousand taels.

Then He Yun continued, "Brother, keep this silver for now. There will be another thousand taels after the goods leave the city."

Zhao Xin's eyes widened at the sight.

He actually earned quite a bit each year, after all, his army was in the city and guarding the border. But after a year, apart from his salary, he could only make a few hundred taels of silver, with the lion's share going to the captains.

Unexpectedly, he gave Lu Zheng two thousand taels of silver, and another thousand taels if the job was done.

That's enough for several years of my income.

  This book is first published on 101 Reading Network, offering a super smooth reading experience with no errors and no disordered chapters.

It's all brought about by power.

Lu Zheng smiled but didn't take it directly.

This made Zhao Xin admire him even more.

Considering Lu Zheng's young age, coming to Fufeng alone, and seeing so much silver, he showed no greed whatsoever. This kind of character is something that even he, let alone his son Zhao Ben, doesn't possess.

"Brother He, since you call me brother, I'll get straight to the point. As for leaving the city, I can certainly try to arrange it, but the goods must be safe and there absolutely cannot be any contraband."

Otherwise, no matter how much money you offer, I cannot take it.

"Haha, Brother Lu, don't worry about that. My goods are all porcelain and silk from the south. These things are very profitable and not prohibited. This is what we do, so of course we know what can be taken out of the pass and what can't." He Yun immediately said that the imperial court strictly prohibited salt, iron, secret manuals, and cultivation resources from leaving the pass, so these things were a red line.

If you step on it, you'll be investigated. Even those powerful families only occasionally sneak away to sell some at high prices; they would never dare to use a regular caravan.

Lu Zheng nodded, but still didn't take the money. Instead, he continued calmly, "Brother, this matter is ultimately decided by the centurion, and I can't be sure I can get it done, so this money..."

"Brother, what are you saying? The money's already out, there's no reason to take it back. Whether this matter succeeds or not, these two thousand taels are yours. I'll figure out another way if necessary." He Yun knew very well that his meeting with Lu Zheng this time wasn't just about shipping the goods, but also about buying peace of mind.

After all, the other party is now the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, responsible for inspecting the border troops within the city.

I haven't even shown my filial piety yet.

The reason for giving so much this time is actually for this reason.

After all, the silver being offered now already represents most of the profits from his caravan's trip.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Don't be so polite, why are you being so formal with your older brother?" He Yun's smile widened after seeing Lu Zheng accept the money.

After the three of them sat for a while, Lu Zheng got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Xin and He Yun left the Soft Jade Pavilion later.

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Zheng thought about his second uncle's matter and headed straight for the Hundred Cavalry Commandery's garrison. With some silver in hand, he also planned to buy some more Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Ointment.

The last batch I bought is already used up, and my strength has increased considerably.

If he had the money, he would have bought some more a couple of days ago. Now that he has the money, he naturally won't be stingy.

After arriving at the Hundred Cavalry Commandery's post and completing their shift,

Then Xiao Ling's maid came over from the backyard. When she saw Lu Zheng, she wasn't shy at all and said in a clear voice, "Commander Lu, the master is back. He knows you were looking for her a couple of days ago, so he wants you to come over now."

It is said that even a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister's door.

This maidservant has been by Xiao Ling's side since she was a child, and the people and things she has seen are beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Xiao Ling was able to use her composure and indifference to effectively conceal her arrogance.

However, the maidservants around her, although trying their best to control their past attitudes towards ordinary people, would occasionally still reveal the kind of demeanor that only people from high-ranking families would have.

Therefore, even when facing Lu Zheng, who had become the head of the company, she still maintained a carefree demeanor.

"Thank you, I'll be right there." After saying that, Lu Zheng tightened his grip on the long sword at his waist and headed towards the backyard.

As soon as I stepped into the study, I saw Xiao Ling staring at the intelligence report repeatedly at her desk.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng enter, he casually said, "No need for formalities. I heard you contacted me a couple of days ago. What's up?"

"Sir, my second uncle has a caravan that wants to leave the city. Could you please sign a document?" Lu Zheng didn't mince words and asked directly.

He discovered that Xiao Ling was a person who truly cared about her subordinates and could handle things, but there was one prerequisite: that you were capable.

Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, Xiao Ling asked softly, "Is that all?"

After saying that, she took out a token from under the table: "This is a pass token. With it, you can travel freely without any obstacles, and it will save you from having to ask me for documents again in the future. However, remember to check the caravan's goods carefully. There must be no contraband, otherwise I will take back this token."

Xiao Ling's generosity was beyond Lu Zheng's expectations. He knew all too well what this token represented now, and immediately stepped forward to accept the token, saying, "Thank you, sir."

"Okay, it's nothing. If there's nothing else, you can go now." Xiao Ling waved her hand.

However, just as Lu Zheng was about to leave, Xiao Ling seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Not all the people from the Xuan Yin Sect have been captured. There are still some who have escaped. But they've been in a hurry to leave the city recently. During this time, send your men out to see if you can find them. Also, be careful yourself. I'm worried they might retaliate."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Zheng's heart stirred, and after responding, he left the house and headed straight for the Military Merit Building to buy some cultivation supplies.

After buying a bottle of Bone Forging Pill, I bought a jar of Dragon Blood Bone Tempering Paste.

After leaving the military merit building, I headed home.

Now, he plans to continue his cultivation while it is still early in the day.

With this bone-strengthening ointment, the difference in cultivation compared to when it's not is enormous.

After returning to the courtyard, Lu Zheng took off his clothes, applied the bone-forging ointment to his body, and then began practicing the "Dragon Elephant Heart Demon Body Forging Blade".

In an instant, the entire courtyard was covered by the violent shadows of blades.

They didn't stop until it got dark.

Even with his current strong physique, Lu Zheng was covered in sweat before opening the system data to check it.
