Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 511 A Big Job is Coming
Da Ka Huma tilted his head, dodging Hall Master Xu's hand. Who knows what that hand just touched... But while smiling and joking with Hall Master Xu, he understood why the situation was so awkward.
Brother Erguotou had been blaming him for causing trouble since the Stone Horse Town incident, and for accidentally participating in the siege of the Meng family's second son. But no matter how you slice it, now that it's happened, it's had a big impact on him.
Like how it's not a worry to have too many sweet potato liquor debts, now that he'd even killed the Meng family's second son, he didn't feel like it was worth being so cautious in dealing with Plum Blossom Alley anymore.
So, he hardened his heart and took drastic measures, forcing Plum Blossom Alley away and taking control of the two large blood food warehouses.
These blood food warehouses were filled with blood food that had been collected and prepared as offerings. The Red Lantern Society didn't really think there was anything inside, assuming it had all been handed over long ago. But unexpectedly, when they opened them up, they were full of real goods, which shocked them.
They thought they'd made a fortune by accident, but unexpectedly, the Truth Sect came directly without even saying hello, putting the Red Lantern Society on the fire.
Maybe Plum Blossom Alley left so decisively because they knew Mingzhou was going to be in chaos and deliberately threw away a hot potato... Having figured this out, Huma sighed softly and said to Hall Master Xu, "Alright, alright, it doesn't matter if my surname is Hu or not. But, listening to you, Uncle Xu, does that mean our Red Lantern Society is now in a bind?"
"I've only been a member for three or four years, and I can see that the higher-ups in our society are waiting for something. Is all the face we've painstakingly built up just going to be thrown away?"
"Actually, before, you wanted to get your hands on a lot of blood food, and you even thought about robbing the carts that our Red Lantern Society uses every year to transport the harvested goods back. But blood food is usually impure and inconvenient for controlling minor ghosts. Many spells are directly ineffective when they encounter blood food."
"'Good that you know...'" After disconnecting from Sweet Potato Liquor, Huma thought for a moment, but still directly called Erguotou, only with a slightly panting voice. Erguotou was overjoyed when he heard Huma's call, "That's great, I was just looking for you."
"That's right."
"Those dozen or so blood food mines that have been opened up around Mingzhou Prefecture, the top-quality blood food handed over from each mine is now stored in those two warehouses, waiting to be sent away. But I don't know why, they're all stuck here now..." "So, no matter how our goddess ultimately responds, we below must be aware. Is there blood food in the Red Lantern Society now? There's plenty, more than ever before. But the problem is, we can't even cover our expenses..." "As for the quantity, I'm afraid it has to be... over ten thousand jin?"
"'Now I need your help. A group of Truth Sect disciples have come to our Mingzhou Prefecture. They're so arrogant, they're already bullying the leaders of the Red Lanterns..." "Ah..." Huma sighed inwardly and said, "Although I've arranged everything else, there's still a difficulty, and that's how to make this happen. I'm from the Shou Sui Sect, and I don't know many spells. Do you know the legendary Seven Ghosts Moving Treasure technique?"
The murmuring gradually faded, disappearing from sight, as I took my hand away from the incense burner.
Even a little self-blame.
Sweet Potato Liquor's voice was instantly filled with surprise, "So fast? Senior Lao Baigan is indeed reliable." "...I immediately held my breath, temporarily not answering. I knew that Erguotou was calling me to ask for something.
"But before I say that, I do have something to ask you..." "Good, good, I'm really sorry, I'm too useless, senior." "Is there any way?"
Hall Master Xu said, "Do you know how inappropriate it is for them to come and ask for blood food at this time?" "And the background of those people..." But Huma had an idea in mind and didn't mind Hall Master Xu's inadequate arrangements. He drank a pot of wine with him, then ate two large bowls of rice, and then rested in the guest room of his house. After falling asleep, he entered his Natal Spirit Temple.
""The key is that the background of these people...'" Huma thought it was reasonable, sighed softly, and said, "I understand. It's not easy for those in the mines, and it's not easy for you either." Erguotou said calmly, "Didn't you latch onto that noble from the mountain earlier? I thought you were being too bold, but now I realize that it was foresight." "What about other methods?"
"'Ah?'"
Sweet Potato Liquor heard this, but was a little embarrassed, "I've raised a lot of minor ghosts, but minor ghosts can't see blood food."
Sweet Potato Liquor's voice was obviously guilty and remorseful, and he repeatedly said, "Then, obediently withdrew the connection."
"Erguotou is calling Lao Baigan in Zhumen Town, can he hear?"
"Blood food?" Because Huma didn't answer, the life incense of the two people didn't intertwine, so he didn't know that Huma had already heard.
Huma frowned and said, "Such as borrowing a road from the underworld?" According to his previous habit, after finishing the meal, he had to go to the brothel to listen to a ditty, but today he only drank a few cups and arranged for me to go to sleep, which showed how tight the situation was.
"Hey, everyone is just following the goddess to make a living. We can't avoid the fights and killings in the martial world, but we can avoid the rebellion..." 1r··….··"Professional!" Hall Master Xu said helplessly, "Their ambition is to seize the throne."
Not to mention blood food, they've mixed with the government openly and secretly, and I'm afraid even the grain tax will end up in their pockets.
"Seeing Huma understand, Hall Master Xu was also very satisfied, and said, "I'll tell you!"
"Is it also impossible to enter the underworld?"
"At first, I spent eighty jin of blood food to find Caoxin Hall to heal my leg. Isn't what senior said... able to heal me a hundred times?"
It was clear that there was a sound of Sweet Potato Liquor falling on the other side, and then she tremblingly opened her mouth, "No, is that stuff usually measured in thousands of jin?"
It's the first time I've seen you so humble in the time I've known you.
Huma solemnly nodded, lowered his voice and said, "I'll solve the problem in the mines myself. At this moment, I only have one question to ask Uncle Xu..." "That's good." Huma couldn't help shivering in his heart. What kind of concept is that? "Understood."
"He said, hesitating a little, and tentatively said, "Is it convenient for you to ask that noble, is the Truth Sect really his people?"
1 Sweet Potato Liquor paused and said, "As for Zhi Xue Tai Sui (finger blood fungus)... I've seen hundreds of jin!"
"'Originally, it was for this matter?'"
With that said, it was clear, Hall Master Xu was also very satisfied with Huma's frightened look at the number, waved his hand, asked the servants in the house to light the lights, and arranged a few dishes, leaving Huma to drink and eat here.
Sure enough, Erguotou called several times, and seeing no response, he sighed softly and muttered softly, "Is that kid still in Yan'e Town?"
"...Isn't it the kind of quietly moving things without others knowing?"
"'Brother Lao Baigan, put other things aside, I'm in trouble here, and I'm just looking for you to ask for an idea.'" Huma said, "I'm also okay, I just returned to Mingzhou territory, what's the matter?"
Huma said lightly, "And, where the things are, where they are hidden afterwards, and how to dispose of the stolen goods, I've all thought about it..." Huma felt reasonable, sighed softly, and said, "I understand, it's not easy for you in the mines, and it's not easy for them either." Huma took a light breath and slowly said, "Sister Sweet Potato Liquor, it's finally not a waste of effort. The big job that I promised you earlier has results."
Huma lightly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly said: "Sister Sweet Potato, it was not a waste of these effort, big job promised earlier has a clue already."
1.
"'This way, you wait first, and when I have a good idea, I will notify you to act together.'"
"Damn..." Huma took a deep breath, his eyes slightly lit up: "...How much blood food is there in the two warehouses you mentioned?"
"One sees it, and one goes crazy."
Huma said indifferently, "Moreover, where the things are, where they are hidden afterwards, and how to dispose of the stolen goods, I've all thought about it..." Huma now felt it was reasonable, sighed lowly, and said, "I understand, the things in your mines are not easy, and the things with them are not easy either." Sweet Potato Liquor said calmly, "Didn't you hold the thigh of the noble from the mountain earlier? Brother, I thought you were too bold, but now I understand that it was simply foresight." "What about other methods?"
"'Ah?'"
Hearing this, Sweet Potato Liquor was a little embarrassed: "I have a lot of minor ghosts under my hand, but minor ghosts can't see blood food."
Sweet Potato Liquor's voice was obviously guilty and self-reproachful, and she said repeatedly, obediently withdrawing the connection.
"Erguotou is calling Lao Baigan in Zhumen Town, can you hear it?"
"Blood food?" Because Huma did not answer, the fate incense of the two people did not entwine together, so he did not know that Huma had already heard it.
Huma frowned and said: "For example, borrowing a road from the underworld or something?" According to his previous habit, after finishing the meal, he had to go to the brothel to listen to a ditty, but today he only drank a few cups and arranged for me to go to sleep, which showed how tight the situation was.
"Hey, everyone is just following the goddess to make a living. You can't avoid the fights and killings in the martial world, but that's all for the rebellion..." 1r··….··"Professional!" Hall Master Xu said helplessly, "Their ambition is to seize the throne."
Not to mention blood food, they have mixed with the government openly and secretly, and I am afraid even the grain tax will enter their pockets.
"Seeing that Huma understood, Hall Master Xu was also very satisfied and said, "Let me tell you!"
"Can't enter the underworld either."
"I spent 80 jin of blood food to find Cao Xin Tang to heal my leg. Isn't what senior said... able to heal me a hundred times?"
It was clear that there was a sound of Sweet Potato Liquor falling on the other side, and then she opened her mouth tremblingly, "No, is that stuff usually measured in thousands of jin?"
It's the first time I've seen her so humble in the time I've known her.
Huma solemnly nodded, lowered his voice and said: "I will solve the problem in the mines myself. At this moment, I only have one question to ask Uncle Xu..." "That's good." Huma couldn't help but shudder in his heart. What kind of concept is that? "Understood."
He said, hesitating a little, and tentatively said, "Is it convenient for you to ask that noble, is the Truth Sect really his people?"
1 Sweet Potato Liquor paused and said, "If you're talking about Blood Tai Sui... I haven't seen more than a hundred jin!"
"'So that's what happened?'"
Saying this, it was clear, Hall Master Xu was also very satisfied with Huma's frightened look at the number, waved his hand, asked the servants in the house to light the lights, and arranged a few dishes, leaving Huma to drink and eat here.
Sure enough, Erguotou called several times, and seeing no response, he sighed softly and muttered softly, "Is that kid still in Yan'e Town?"
"...Isn't it the kind of quietly moving things without others knowing?"
"'Brother Lao Baigan, put other things aside first, I'm in trouble here, and I'm just looking for you to ask for an idea.'" Huma said, "I'm also okay, I just returned to Mingzhou territory, what's the matter?"
Huma said lightly: "Our goal for this job is conservatively eight thousand jin."
Slightly pondering and clarifying his thoughts, he did not want to hear Erguotou's voice first: "Brother Lao Baigan, can you hear me?"
Huma had heard Hall Master Xu talk about the situation here earlier, and knew that Erguotou would definitely come to ask himself, so he pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said: "Brother, actually I was called back from Shima Town by that noble because of this matter..." Huma lightly took a breath and quickly said: "Sister Sweet Potato Liquor, it was not a waste of all this effort, big job promised earlier has a clue already."
