Chapter 120: Blockade of Pingyao County

Although Zhao Zhengke was stopped outside Anling City, the Zhao family wouldn't just leave it alone.
The direct action failed, and after receiving the ban from Qiu Wanyong on behalf of Qingfengmen, they also thought of some ways from other places.
In the final analysis, it was blockade and harassment, both of which were done in combination, and in the next period of time, it actually brought a lot of trouble to the Lu family.
The Zhao family had been operating in Anling County for too many years. Before the rise of the Lu family, they were a big family in Anling County, and their influence was still strong.
Under their influence, Pingyao County has been isolated.
Here we need to mention the geographic location of Pingyao.
Pingyao was originally located in the northwest corner of Anling County, and further north and west, it is a virgin forest with a radius of 100,000 miles. It is the junction of Feiyun Prefecture, Xuezhou, and Shuozhou of Jin State. It is named'Northern Wilderness' Sen'. There are all demon races of wild beasts inside, and in the depths still exist the fourth and even fifth-order demon kings, dominating the demon tribes of the northern desolate forest.
This is a behemoth that cannot be offended, especially the fifth-order Demon King, which is comparable to the existence of the Yuan Ying monk.
From Beihuang Forest to the north, Jibei County in Selangor is located, but because of the separation of Beihuang Forest in the middle, the roads on both sides are not accessible. The connection between Feiyun State and Selangor State is actually only one route in the east, which leads from Beihai County to Jinan County in the east.
In other words, when the Zhao family united their allies to lock Pingyao's east and south directions, Pingyao in the corner was an isolated island.
Zhao's method of blocking Pingyao County was also divided into two major steps.
The first is to mobilize forces that are closely related to them, no matter whether it is the families in different places, some chambers of commerce, or even some mortal forces, they are not allowed to do business with the Lu family. In this way, the things of the Lu family cannot be sold or bought back.
The income of the Lu family will shrink greatly, such as the sale of water cloud horses, the sale of pyroxene, the sale of family artifacts, the sale of various medicinal materials and medicine...all will be greatly affected.
The local market in Pingyao cannot afford so much output. For example, the Shuiyun Horse is priced at more than a thousand spirit stones. Which group of casual repairers in Pingyao can afford?
Moreover, they are not only targeting the Lu family, but also the casual repairs throughout Pingyao County.
Pingyao County itself is not considered barren, its products are rich, and the place is quite large. Among the counties in Anling, it is considered to be the largest, all of which represent that Pingyao is considered a treasure.
But in any case, it is impossible for Pingyao to meet the needs of hundreds of monks without doing any business transactions with outsiders.
After the follow-up casual repairers can't bear the pressure, or feel that Pingyao County is too dangerous and has no future, they will run away. When people run away, it is like the artificial Lingmai mansion in the county seat, and the surrounding low-level Lingmai is unrented, and no one does business and the tax cannot be collected...
This is to cut the root.
Of course, no matter how influential the Zhao family is, it is impossible to truly and completely prevent everyone from doing business with the Lu family.
For example, Husheng Trading Company and Feiyunxing, who have sect backgrounds, are worthy of business and do business; for example, Mu Yangcheng, the leader of casual repair in Surabaya, also maintains a deal with the Lu family; Pingyao and Anlingcheng There are also direct trade routes...
For some places they can’t lock down, the Zhao family will increase pressure on the one hand. For example, Lu family has received several complaints from Mu Yangcheng, saying that his life in Sishui County is unsatisfactory. As an ally of the Zhao family, he has been making trouble for him in Surabaya recently.
On the other hand, they also used a more direct tactic-harassment.
They would hire casual cultivators, and even Brother Zhao family personally, to attack and detain the Lu family caravan.
This further hit Lu's industry.
The whole situation became very bad in a short period of time.
The Lu Family is now under tremendous pressure. It's okay to say that income will drop sharply in the short term, but this situation must not last for a long time.
At the same time, some turbulence occurred in Pingyao County. A small amount of casual cultivators have already begun to flee. This kind of thing is difficult to stop, and the Lu family can't say, "I will kill you when you leave Pingyao." This is unrealistic.
But fortunately, these disturbances are temporarily controlled within a tolerable range. More casual cultivators are on the sidelines, and a few have approached the Lu family and asked them how they plan to deal with this matter.
Lu's has already begun to deal with the comfort work, the effect is not bad, but this is not a long-term solution.
This kind of thing cannot be solved by comfort alone.
The ultimate solution to this problem lies in breaking the blockade.
After discussing with Lu Chaoxi, the five members of the Lu family, Zhuji and Lu Chaoxi finally came up with a corresponding strategy: first solve the problem in Sishui County in the south.
...
Lu Ranting took four monks from the Lu family and five hired casual repairmen, and escorted a batch of goods to Surabaya.
They are very cautious along the way, but in fact they can't completely conceal their eyes.
When they arrived in Sishui County, they did not enter the city, but went around half a circle, to the south of the city, and after another day, they arrived at Manling Mountain.
This Manling Mountain is Mu Yangcheng's site. He was born in a casual cultivator. When he was nearly sixty years old, he was unwilling to waste his whole life on this. He took a risk and tried to force a breakthrough without building a basement. As a result, he was lucky and he really passed this barrier.
Then, he became the leader of casual repair in this part of Surabaya, and he competed with the Ma clan in Surabaya. There was both competition and cooperation.
The foundation that is made without the foundation of foundation building is deeper than the normal foundation, and the foundation is better. Although Mu Yangcheng has only three spirit roots, he is more than 130 years old and a bit older than Lu Chaoxi, but now he has built nine foundations.
In fact, Mu Yangcheng has nothing to do with the previous Lu family, compared to Ma's.
But this time, he pressed Bao on the Lu Family.
On the one hand, the Zhao family had offended him, and on the other hand, the most important thing was that he thought the Lu family had a better future than the Zhao family. Leaving aside the young Qiming monk Lu Chaoxi, he felt that Lu Qing, the golden core ancestor, was really not dead, and he was secretly helping the Lu family.
Surabaya is not far from Pingyao. Over the years, he saw the Lu family, who was about to die, developed better and better with the help of a mysterious force, and then soared into the sky in the First Battle of Northern Xinjiang and completely reversed it. The outside world’s perception of them has once again become a big family that can fight against the Zhao clan in Anling County~EbookFREE.me~ Mu Yangcheng believes that this mysterious force is evidence that the Lu family ancestors are still alive. .
Lu Ranting and others who came this time were transporting a batch of goods and handing them over to him. He promised to help sell this batch of goods in exchange for Lingshi, and then give it to the Lu family.
But there are two requirements: he doesn't care about delivery or withdrawal, and the Lu family has to do it himself. He couldn't send his subordinates to Pingyao, and he was under pressure recently.
But after the team led by Lu Ranting arrived at Manling Mountain, he also met with Lu Ranting and others.
"Your trip is very risky." He just said with a mouth.
This is his sincere judgment.
