Chapter 261 Yu Qianli arrives at Chenjia Village and the cement workshop officially begins construction
"Young Master, are you going to Chenjia Village in person? Absolutely not. That Xiao Ying is too dangerous!"
Yu Fuyao was anxious. The young master was the hope of the Yu family, how could he take risks so easily?
What's more, Xiao Ying has the traitor Yu Lingyun by his side. Yu Lingyun must have betrayed many secrets of the Yu family.
"What if, what if that Xiao Ying is at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
This was what she was most worried about. Although she didn't want to believe it, the woman was indeed very powerful and evil.
Yu Qianli said, "That's why I'm going there in person. Don't worry, I won't easily come into conflict with her."
The Yu family can be said to have the largest number of people in the late stage of Qi training among all the immortal cultivation families, but in reality there are less than ten of them.
There is only one person who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and there are only him and the head of the family who have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. And the person who has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining has proven to be no match for Xiao Ying.
If he doesn't go, should the ancestor or the head of the family take action?
"But……"
Yu Fuyao was still worried and felt more and more guilty and self-blaming.
It's all because she is too incompetent, otherwise why would the young master need to take the risk himself?
"There's no need to persuade me on this matter." Yu Qianli interrupted her, his tone gentle but unquestionable: "Tell me more about Xiao Ying. Do you know how she cleared the life and death contract from Yu Lingyun?"
A person who can dissolve the strange poison of Jingnu Country and clear the life and death contract is enough for him to pay attention to.
Yu Fuyao shook his head in shame. "It's my incompetence that I failed to figure this out. But Xiao Ying must be proficient in formations and talismans. I noticed that her house was surrounded by a large protective formation and a spirit gathering formation, so I didn't dare to barge in."
"Who knew that the traitor Yu Lingyun would still discover me the next day? Xiao Ying deliberately went out just to lure me out."
"Later, I fought with Yu Lingyun. His strength was almost as strong as mine. I was caught off guard and was hit by him."
"Xiao Ying took advantage of the situation and used a talisman comparable to the seventh level of Qi Refining. If it weren't for the Young Master's magical weapon, I would have died on the spot."
She felt a pang of fear when she mentioned this matter. Fortunately, the young master had foresight, otherwise she would really not be able to come back.
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly said, "Oh, I found several ferocious beasts in Chenjia Village."
"There is one at the second level of Qi Refining, and one at the fourth level of Qi Refining, responsible for guarding Xiao Ying's two workshops."
"There's also a fifth-level Qi Refining Sea Holly, which is actually the contracted beast of a coachman. There's also a sixth-level Qi Refining Spirit Cat, which should be the contracted beast of Xiao Ying's daughter."
"I suspect she must have other ferocious beasts. I wonder where she got them."
Yu Qianli was quite surprised when he heard this. He tapped the table lightly with his bony fingers and spoke after a while.
"She is indeed a mysterious and powerful figure. If her origins are correct, then she must have unexpectedly gained some kind of opportunity."
"Her strength may not be 80% of Qi Refining. Perhaps she is using some kind of treasure to conceal her aura. Our Yu family also has such a treasure."
"Otherwise, what attacked you wasn't the talisman, but her own power."
Just a small detail allowed him to find the flaw.
If Xiao Ying were here, he would definitely praise him for his intelligence, as he guessed almost all of them correctly.
Yu Fuyao heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as the person was not at the seventh level of Qi Refining or higher, he would not be a threat to the young master.
Then Yu Qianli said, "This person probably knows more than you and I imagined, and his talent is also amazing."
"Her opportunity must not be underestimated. I even suspect that the potatoes came from it, rather than from the mountains."
"If that's true, it shows that she has the world in her heart."
Yu Fuyao's heart moved: "If this is really some kind of opportunity, perhaps it can help the young master enter the foundation-building stage."
Yu Qianli glanced at her with a cold gaze: "Do you want me to snatch it?"
"I know that the young master has always been kind-hearted, but this opportunity should belong to him."
Yu Fuyao looked serious, as if it was a matter of course.
"As long as the young master can establish his foundation, he can unify the four kingdoms and restore their glory. Perhaps he can truly realize that legend and receive a reward from heaven!"
All the immortal cultivation families are working towards this goal, and it has almost become an obsession for generations.
The young master is recognized by the four countries' immortal cultivation circles as the most promising genius to establish a foundation, and he must not give up the opportunity just because of his kindness.
"Let's talk about this later." Yu Qianli frowned slightly: "From now on, you have a good rest. I will leave today."
It would be best to conceal his identity and appearance when going to Chenjia Village this time, so he had to think of a way.
Xiao Ying didn't know that he had really attracted Yu Qianli.
After settling the five people that night, he took Fude, Xiao Laosan and Xiao Junshu to the cement workshop the next day.
From now on, these three people will stay in the workshop to take care of things and serve as her eyes and ears.
October 1st.
The cement workshop officially started construction.
When she and everyone arrived at the workshop, Ning Yuanze had already arrived, accompanied by the county magistrate Zhang Yu, the chief clerk Tian Chang, and several minor officials and yamen runners.
In addition, there were 400 workers, all selected from the victims.
Some of them were settled last time, and some were new arrivals recently.
According to the plan, these people will only work for one month, and will be replaced by other people next month and the month after.
There are also dozens of women who are mainly responsible for the canteen. They are selected from families without men and are also rotated.
In this way, at least 1,300 households can earn money from the cement workshop, which is by no means a small amount.
Now everyone is standing in an orderly manner in the square in front of the cement workshop. Although they are dressed in tattered clothes, each of them has expectant eyes and suppresses their inner excitement.
A group of militiamen stood around the square, consisting of three teams and a total of thirty people.
From now on, these people will be the guards of the workshop, managing the workers and preventing outsiders from entering to maintain safety.
"Mrs. Xiao, you're here."
Seeing Xiao Ying coming, Ning Yuanze smiled and took the initiative to greet him.
"Greetings to the County Magistrate, the County Assistant, and the Chief Clerk."
Xiao Ying nodded slightly and saluted the three people.
The rest of the people without official rank also bowed and greeted her, not daring to look down on her. This woman was no ordinary village woman, but a noble person with an imperial decree.
Ning Yuanze smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Lady Xiao. Actually, I haven't congratulated you yet, but I would like to congratulate Lady Xiao on receiving the imperial decree."
"Congratulations, Madam Xiao."
Zhang Yu and Tian Chang also echoed, their hearts filled with emotion, and their smiles were much more sincere than before.
"You are so kind, County Magistrate. I owe my present situation to you, my talent."
Ning Yuanze laughed: "Then let's stop being so humble and get down to business first, how about that?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Xiao Ying also didn't like these pleasantries and immediately looked at the workers in the square.
Ning Yuanze looked serious as he looked at the crowd who were full of expectations, his heart filled with emotions.
"Fellow citizens, I am Ning Yuanze, the magistrate of Yun'an County. I have gathered you here today for a purpose I believe you all understand: to produce a new material: cement!"
