My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Lu Zheng had just finished his shift and was about to go back.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Jiangzhu waiting to the side.

Everyone else hid to the side at this time.

After all, this centurion's maid was notoriously arrogant.

Many people had seen her expression and therefore dared not approach her; only Lu Zheng could exchange a few words with her.

"Are you looking for me?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, our young lady wants to see you about something." This time, Jiangzhu unusually did not show her arrogant attitude, but instead lowered her head and looked away.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng didn't think much of it and simply said, "Let's go then."

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard accompanied by Jiangzhu.

Upon entering the living room, Xiao Ling was sitting at the table drinking tea. When she saw Lu Zheng enter, she pointed to a seat next to her before he could even greet her and said, "No need to be so polite, sit down and let's talk."

"Thank you, sir." Lu Zheng immediately sat down.

Then, Xiao Ling took a sip of tea and said, "I heard you've released quite a few caravans these past few days?"

After saying this, Jiangzhu lowered her head even further.

Lu Zheng didn't notice her change, but said frankly, "Sir, some were sent out, but I checked them all myself and there were no problems."

"Yes, I trust you to handle things. Recently, there have been people from the Tianluo Sect who might be secretly sending people out of seclusion. Keep an eye on them, and it would be best if you could catch a group of them," Xiao Ling said softly.

However, as if remembering something, he continued, "But there's no need to rush. If we don't meet him, there's nothing we can do. Don't act recklessly just for the sake of merit."

Although she trusted Lu Zheng, there had been instances of him killing innocent people and claiming credit for them.

I had to offer a tactful reminder.

If she really did such a thing, even she might not be able to protect Lu Zheng.

"Yes, sir," Lu Zheng replied immediately.

"Okay, that's good. There's nothing else. Just do what you need to do. As long as you don't do anything reckless, no one will cause you any trouble here," Xiao Ling said confidently.

However, they do indeed have the capability.

Take Xiao Ling for example. In the Northern Frontier, as long as she doesn't rebel, there's really no one who can do anything to her.

Lu Zheng responded and then withdrew.

He felt quite grateful to Xiao Ling.

This boss is just too good to be true.

I made the right choice in clinging to this big tree.

After Lu Zheng left, Jiangzhu stammered, "Miss, actually I also think Lu Zheng wouldn't do anything reckless. I just mentioned it briefly."

  

"I know you did nothing wrong, because you were thinking of me," Xiao Ling said with a light laugh.

However, when his gaze fell on the letter, he couldn't help but frown again.

Meanwhile, as soon as Lu Zheng stepped out of the Hundred Cavalry Garrison, someone hurriedly came up to him. He recognized the person; she was Lu Wan's maid. After bowing, she said, "Sir, our young lady requests that you come to our house for lunch."

Lu Zheng paused for a moment and then said, "Okay, I understand. I'll definitely be there at noon."

After saying that, he walked straight home.

I'm preparing to continue my training.

After entering the courtyard and closing the gate, Lu Zheng took the pill and put the ointment in his mouth.

Then, he began to cultivate.

His swordsmanship is significantly more powerful than before.

After the whole routine is finished, the leg techniques follow.

At this moment, he could leap up to three zhang (approximately 10 meters), something he could never have done before.

Moreover, their footwork was incredibly swift.

Each movement was fleeting, lasting only a moment.

If it were any faster, it might leave an afterimage.

As the sun rose, Lu Zheng headed towards the Zhao family's residence.

Zhao Xin was also there today, but he didn't go to the military camp. He mainly heard that Lu Zheng's father had also come, and he wanted to see Lu Zheng's attitude so that it would be easier to deal with him in the future.

Otherwise, if you don't understand the family relationships involved, it will be bad if you clash with them or do things wrong.

Moreover, he genuinely wants to see Lu Zheng now.

After the other party arrived, not only did he get his son promoted, but he also made a lot of money in the past two days.

The captain has been beaming with joy these past few days.

To put it bluntly, in the past, it was the border troops who paid tribute to the Hundred Cavalry Commandery with silver, but now it's the other way around; they're the ones making money by following the Hundred Cavalry Commandery.

They even declared that everyone must cooperate with whatever Lu Zheng says, and anyone who dares to obey is considered to be going against him.

Therefore, Zhao Xin is now very concerned about Lu Zheng.

Knowing that the latter was coming, they waited at the gatehouse early on.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, he was the first to greet him: "Hehe, Zheng, it's been a few days since you last came. Let's have a good drink today."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "There's a lot going on at the checkpoints, but I think we'll be done in the next few days."

"Will there be another chance to earn it in the future?" Zhao Xin asked quickly.

As a centurion, he was quite shrewd. For example, yesterday the border troops received 50,000 taels of silver, and He Yun directly gave him 10,000 taels. Although Zhao Xin also distributed some to his men, he kept more than 5,000 taels for himself.

I couldn't earn this much in the past two years.

So, naturally, I am concerned.

"It should be alright, but not this much. It's gradually stabilizing. After all, people come out of the pass every day. But the reason we were able to earn so much this time is because there are too many caravans backing up here," Lu Zheng explained.

Upon hearing that he could continue to earn money, Zhao Xin grinned, "It's good that I can earn money; it's good to have more income."

After saying that, he personally led Lu Zheng into the backyard living room.

Lu Kun and Lu Wan were also there, after they had met.

Lu Zheng looked at the latter and asked, "Sister, is there something you wanted to see me about today?"

When Lu Wan usually invites guests, the maids would simply say that Lu Zheng would come if he had time.

But this time it's different; it says you absolutely must go.

In Lu Zheng's view, this must mean something important has happened.

Before Lu Wan could respond, Lu Kun said, "Your father came yesterday and said he wanted to come out of seclusion. I didn't tell him about your situation, but I thought it would be better if you explained it to him."

So I'm having him come over today to clarify things between you and your son.

After saying that, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Zhao Xin turned his gaze over.

The meaning was clear: he only cared about Lu Zheng's attitude; if he didn't want to see him, he could kick him out immediately.

As for Lu Xiong's brother-in-law, although he is the county magistrate of Fengling, Zhao Xin is in the border army. The two are not in the same system at all, and his own position is not lower than the other party's, and may even be higher. He is not afraid of a real conflict.

Most importantly, he has Lu Zheng backing him up.

The captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division standing before you now wields considerable power.

Others may not know, but Zhao Xin, who was in the border army, saw it all very clearly.

No matter how high Lu Zheng's official rank is, in this Fufeng County, the only person who can afford to offend him is probably Xiao Ling. Even He Yun now has to bow down to Lu Zheng.

"Then let's meet. Anyway, after Lu Yun took my place at Lingyuan Academy, I've repaid my family's kindness in raising me. I have nothing to do with them anymore," Lu Zheng said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Lu Kun nodded.

Just then, the butler came in and said respectfully, "Master, the elder brother of my in-laws is outside and wants to come in."

"Let him in," Zhao Xin said immediately.

Since Lu Zheng wanted to see him, he naturally wouldn't stop him.
