Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 171;
"There's no rush in advance. I heard from Qiushuang earlier that you delayed returning to Beijing because something happened to Jiangdong."

Gu Jian nodded quickly and said, "Yes, since the beginning of summer, it hasn't rained in many places around Jiangdong."

"Now the land is dry, and the food is almost dead."

"After we received your order, we were about to leave immediately, but as a result, many victims of the disaster appeared in the town where the Lu family is located."

"And there is also a small group of bandits making trouble, and some Zhuangzi of the Lu family have been attacked."

Since yesterday, when he learned that there had been no rain for more than a month, Lu Yaoyao thought that there might be a drought.

It hasn't rained in the capital for more than a month, not to mention all other places, but there must be some places that are more serious than the capital.

However, she never expected that something went wrong with Jiang Dong.

"Is the Lu family all right?"

"I encountered a small group of attacks. It's not a big problem, just some minor injuries."

The untouchable Gu Jian briefly talked about what happened in Jiangdong earlier. The reason why they delayed their return was because of the impact of a large number of refugees and a small group of rogues.

When they went to Jiangdong, Lu Yaoyao said that no matter what happens, they must try their best to ensure the safety of the Lu family.

So in front, they stayed here to deal with those rogues so that they would not pose a threat to the Lu family.

"Now those refugees have already started to move towards the capital, and I believe they will reach the capital in a short time."

"And my subordinates also heard that this time not only the south was affected by the disaster, but many places in the north were also affected by the drought."

Indeed, the south is rich in water systems. Since ancient times, Dongzhou has suffered from floods in the south, and there have been a few droughts, but they have never happened in decades, or even hundreds of years.

If it is said that the south has suffered from drought, then the north is afraid that more places will suffer from drought.

"Miss, did you already know that there will be a drought?"

Qiu Yu looked at Lu Yaoyao in amazement.

She also knew that Lu Yaoyao asked Qiushuang to bring money to Lao Kang to buy food yesterday.

At that time, she still couldn't figure it out, but now she understands everything.

A few places on the east side of the river were hit by drought, especially in the north. When the flood victims appeared, the price of food would inevitably increase rapidly. At this time, it was very prescient to buy food before the incident fully broke out.

"It's not known early, it's just a guess."

"Miss really has the foresight. Now the price of grain on the Jiangdong side and the north side has begun to increase rapidly, and the aristocratic families have begun to hoard grain."

"My subordinates also paid attention on the way back this time. The price of food in some places along the road has tripled compared to normal times."

Gu Jian passed through many places along the way, and naturally many people heard the news, especially those from aristocratic families.

Because they buy in large quantities, the price of food will naturally soar.

Nowadays, in many places, people can no longer afford food.

"Since this is the case, do you want your servant to go to Lao Kang and ask him to find a way to buy more?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I didn't ask Lao Kang to buy grain to sell it at a high price. There is never a shortage of grain in our village."

Indeed, the harvest of her farm these years has been very good, and many of them were sold to His Royal Highness King Jin alone.

The potatoes were harvested in addition, and the sweet potatoes will be harvested after a while. There is so much food that they can't finish it.

The reason why she bought so much food was for other purposes.

"Qiu Shuang, go to Lu's house and tell the old man about the situation. I'm afraid their trip back to Jiangdong will be postponed."

Now the Jiangdong side has been affected by the disaster, and there are aristocratic families frantically buying grain along the way. By then, there will be more and more victims, and the road will not be peaceful.

Qiu Shuang quickly responded and walked out.

"Qiu Yu, go outside and watch. No one is allowed to come near here. I have something to say to Gu Jian alone."

"Yes."

After the autumn rain receded, Lu Yaoyao spoke slowly.

"You know about my stay in the capital, right?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. Miss, is she planning to take action against the Gao family when she summons her subordinates back this time?"

Lu Yaoyao nodded, and then fell silent for a while before opening his mouth to say, "You asked me before why you formed Heiyunshou, do you remember what I told you back then?"

"Of course I remember, Miss said at that time that this world is not easy, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, prepare our own power, in order to ensure a stable life."

"Yeah, it's all about survival."

"You have heard about the things I have experienced since I was a child, and it is also destined that one day I will confront the Xu family, the Gao family, and even the gentry."

"Now that the Xu family has lost, although the Gao family's recent actions have been resolved, there will definitely be more actions in the future."

Gu Jian nodded repeatedly.

Standing behind the Xu family is the Gao family. The Xu family has been destroyed, and the Gao family has already made several moves.

Confrontation is inevitable, but behind the Gao family are the gentry, each stronger than the other.

"Lately I've learned something"

"Gu Jian, what would you do if one day Heiyunshou's responsibility changed from guarding to slaughtering knife?"

Hearing this, Gu Jian frowned slightly, staring at the calm Lu Yaoyao, he didn't understand what she meant by that?
What guard, what butcher knife?

"In the past, Heiyunshou was used to protect the Lu family and my own safety."

"But now there are some things that I need Heiyunshou to do. He will kill people, or even exterminate the clan."

"Murder and genocide?"

Gu Jian's expression trembled, and a chill rose in his heart.

After a while, Gu Jian stood up, cupped his hands and said, "No matter what the lady plans to do, my subordinate Gu Jian will follow and be loyal to her for the rest of her life."

"Okay, then you take three hundred people and go to the ancestral land of the Gao family. I want to kill all the Gao family members."

"what!"

Gu Jian was shocked.

The ancestral land of the Gao family has been passed down for many years. Before Gao Yanming got up, there were hundreds of members of the Gao family. After these years of development, the population of the Gao family has reached more than [-].

This is just the members of the Gao family in the ancestral land, there are three to five hundred people in the Gao family in the capital.

Lu Yaoyao actually asked him to take people to the ancestral land to destroy the Gao clan. Didn't that mean killing more than [-] people?

How strong and deep hatred is this?

To make her want to kill so violently?
"Don't want to?"

"No, no, the subordinates should obey the orders of the young lady, but the subordinates are a little confused."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao raised his hand again and pressed it, motioning him to sit down.

"You have doubts in my place, but there are some things I can't say too much. As for why I did this, it's because Gao Yanming deserves to die."

"What he has done, even if he slaughters his whole family, can't dispel the hatred in my heart."

When she said this, the overwhelming hatred in her eyes made Gu Jian shiver all over.

What did Gao Yanming do?
