Kerosene?

Those are strategic materials.

Used during wartime.

Hearing Li Jianping say that, Liu Feng was startled.

What's the difference between what you're doing and courting death?

If you use kerosene to burn it, is that the same as not using kerosene?

Where the kerosene burned, nothing was ever found.

You're making things worse; you're completely adding unnecessary details.

"As for the specifics of how to do it, that's my business, Mr. Li. You just need to make the arrangements."

Li Jianping then changed the subject.

Afterwards, Li Jianping went home to take stock of his belongings. Once he got the amount, Liu Feng paid the silver for the saltpeter without any hesitation.

Li Jianping originally planned to have a local security escort agency transport the goods for Liu Feng, and they could be taken away tomorrow.

However, Liu Feng refused.

Liu Feng had heard about the local security escort agencies from Jia Huating.

Liu Feng dared not let them transport it.

This may not seem like much to others, but even if it is, it's still over ten thousand taels of silver.

Moreover, in this place of exile, saltpeter is priceless.

Of course, distrust of local security escort agencies is only a small part of the reason.

The most important thing is to get Wu Santong, his father-in-law, to establish the escort agency in the local area.

Subsequently, whether it's the transportation of fodder, other personal items, or the import of other goods, it's all part of the process.

These are all important matters, and we must use our own people to do them.

Of course, it wasn't about establishing the escort agency locally all at once. It was about taking it slowly, first sending his own goods and gradually letting local merchants know that Liu Feng's escort agency was reliable.

Over time, even the local security escort agencies became indifferent.

Then it would be a natural thing for their own security escort agency to move in.

Once everything was arranged, it was the perfect time; the night was deep, and sure enough, a group of bandits stormed into one of the Li family's salt mines.

After they stormed in, they committed atrocities, killing many of the laborers in the salt mine and then burning the place to ashes.

Ancient government offices were not as diligent as they are in modern times. By the time the constables arrived at the scene, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

When the police arrived.

Liu Feng had already left Yicheng.

Outside the city, in a small, long-abandoned courtyard.

Liu Feng was sitting on a tattered little stool, waiting for what he wanted.

Before long, a ragged old man was carried in by several guards.

Before the bandits could set the fire, they had already knocked Chun Yuan unconscious.

After a basin of cold water was poured on him, the old man curled up in pain on the ground with several violent coughs.

He then immediately covered his eyes.

"Fellow heroes, fellow warriors, I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!"

"What exactly do you all want to know? I'll tell you everything I know, everything I know..."

Please don't kill me.

"He's a smart person; he knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm."

Liu Feng chuckled.

A normal person, once woken up by being splashed, would never be able to react in so many ways so quickly.

But after being woken up by the splashing, the old man did three or four things in a row.

It seems that Chun Yuan probably woke up halfway through the journey.

But he kept pretending to be unconscious.

He knew very well that although he had been kidnapped by bandits, they had not killed him.

why is that?

Therefore, he had long ago concluded that there must be a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, he immediately covered his eyes with his hands in an attempt to save his life.

"Alright, you don't need to pretend to be crazy anymore."

"If we were going to kill you, why would we save you?"

Liu Feng comforted Chun Yuan with a smile.

Even after all that had been said, Chun Yuan still dared not open her eyes.

"Gentlemen, heroes, please stop playing tricks on me. I've only ever heard of bandits killing people, never of bandits killing people."

"It's very simple. You have a daughter, and she begged me to kill you."

Liu Feng was slightly taken aback, because she didn't know whether Chun Yue was her stage name or her real name.

This is a bit awkward.

Fortunately, Chun Yuan heard the word "daughter" and immediately became excited.

"My daughter, how is she? How is she?"

"You mustn't hurt her. I'll do anything you ask as long as she's alright."

It's clear that Chun Yuan cherishes his daughter very much and longs to reunite with her; that's definitely what he's thinking.

This is similar to what Chun Yue said; Chun Yue was able to manipulate Chun Yuan to help Liu Feng.

"She's doing very well; she's married now."

"You married one of my lieutenant generals, which is why you begged me to come and save you."

Liu Feng continued to talk about Chun Yue's situation.

Originally, the old man was very wary of Liu Feng and his group.

Upon hearing this, he instantly lost his composure, his hands loosened, and his eyes widened.

"What? My daughter married a bandit?"

Liu Feng was speechless. Clearly, this guy, like Jia Huaxin before him, thought that Liu Feng and his gang were bandits who called each other "general" or "commander."

"Forget it, just knock them out and take them away."

Now that Chun Yuan has been rescued, there is no need for Liu Feng to stay any longer.

The journey was not short, so Liu Feng and his group traveled back non-stop, taking several days in total.

After returning to Zhengde County, Chun Yuan remained unconscious.
