After listening to Su Qingning's explanation, Gu Huilan also knew the horror of this Fushou Cream, and immediately frowned and thought:

"Recently, there are many more tobacco shops on the streets of Yangcheng. Many shops have closed because their owners have become addicted to smoking and have no time to run their shops. There are indeed many beggars whose families have been ruined on the streets..."

"But we haven't done a careful count, and the so-called 'half' of men is just my grandmother's guess."

At this moment, Xiao Ai's roar also echoed in Su Qingning's mind:

[Ahhh! Sister Su! When you entered the village yesterday, I had already unlocked several big melons here, and I haven't had time to see them yet. Wait for me to take a look.]

[Oh my god! Yangcheng is now indeed a severely affected area by Fu Shou Cream. Basically, thousands of people have been infected with this stuff! ]

[The Fushou Cream that was previously sold in small quantities in various cities was shipped from Southern Xinjiang. The quantity was small and the price was high. So when we went to Yong'an City, we only found some rich kids addicted to it.]

[But now that this knockoff can be mass-produced, they have expanded their sales. The price has increased, and more people have become infected. ]

[Yangcheng is just the first step for these southern Xinjiang people to expand their sales, so now only the people in Yangcheng can get in touch with this stuff! Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would be in trouble if we had to wait for them to sell the cheap Fushou Paste to several nearby cities!!!]

Su Qingning's fist hardened again. He asked with some doubt:

[What happened to the Lord of Yangcheng? Is Cheng also colluding with the people of Southern Xinjiang?! ]

She remembered that the original book did not include this plot. The Lord of Guoyang City was a sophisticated egoist, and it would be strange if he really colluded with the Southern Xinjiang wolves.

Xiao Ai: [Sister Su! It’s just what you think! ]

[Because you changed a lot of the plot after you came, the people of Southern Xinjiang also took action against the people of Daqian in advance! ]

[It stands to reason that these foreigners would be subject to many restrictions in their actions, but they promised the Lord of Yang City that they could give him 30% of the profits from selling the Fushou Cream.]

[So, even though he knew that once people got addicted to this stuff, many of them would lose their jobs and gradually become zombies, he still wanted to give up this opportunity to make quick money and spread the word about Fu Shou Cream in the city! ]

Su Qingning: !!!

This can't be called sophisticated selfishness, it's simply insane!

She remembered that it was said in the original book that after the Lord of Yangcheng discovered the nearby emerald mines, he proclaimed himself king and led a life of luxury and debauchery.

Soon, he started to build a temple. Although he was already very rich, he still wanted to exploit the labor of the people. He only paid one salary but asked them to do three times the work.

As a result, many strong men died of exhaustion on the ground!

At this moment, Xiao Huaishuo and Xiao Yanchu from the mountain village also heard the commotion and came out to greet their grandmother and the others.

I heard that Su Qingning and his family were planning to live in the village temporarily, and my grandmother and her family also wanted to move in with them.

Anyway, this village is quite large. Even if you take into account the thousands of acres of fertile land at the gate, it is already the size of an ordinary mountain village.

Su Qingning actually welcomed them to move in and make the village more lively.

After a few pleasantries, my grandmother and her family went to prepare for the move. Su Qingning hurriedly told Xiao Huaishuo about the current situation in Yangcheng.

Xiao Huaishuo's expression became more and more solemn as he listened, and finally he said in a decisive tone:

"The Lord of Yangcheng is cruel and ruthless. If he is allowed to manage Yangcheng for a little longer, it will bring endless suffering to the people. So... we can only take this city by force."

"There are five thousand border troops stationed outside Yangcheng. If they can make such a big fuss, I'm afraid even the generals defending the city will be dragged into it."

"Ningning, don't worry. When we left the Yong'an City military camp yesterday, I left a secret guard to carefully observe the military movements. Now I can be sure that everyone in the Yong'an City military camp is still loyal to my Xiao family. Today I will go to collect those 50,000 troops and then lead them to attack Dongyang City directly."

Su Qingning once again felt the joy of having a great teammate and nodded:

"Well, this is the only way. Otherwise, after some time, Yangcheng will probably become a hell on earth."

Thinking of the city full of drug addicts, Su Qingning couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly urged Xiao Huaishuo to get down to business.

Xiao Huaishuo was obviously calmer. He held her in his arms for a long time before he said in all seriousness:

"I'll leave all the secret guards here to protect you. Don't be too stubborn when you encounter something. If you want to, push Big Brother out to block it. He has thick skin and flesh, so he can at least take more hits than you."

Su Qingning was almost dying of laughter at these three funny brothers, and scolded:

"Look at me like this, do I need someone to stop me?"

Xiao Yanchu, who was far away from them, didn't hear the rest of what they said, but he did hear the last two sentences clearly, and he immediately said angrily:

"Hey! Xiao Lao San! Are you being polite? I'm a patient! How can you push your own brother out to block me? Is this something a human being can do?"

"Hmm? Are you happy about this, brother?"

Xiao Huaishuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and the chill in his tone gave Xiao Yanchu a chill.

"Ahem... I am willing, of course I am willing! It is my honor to protect my brother and sister-in-law! I have asked for it! I will die without regrets! I can die again after I die!"

"Hahaha--"

Su Qingning was amused again by his godlike speed of changing his expression.

So what happened to these two brothers Tong 뎃누 that caused Xiao Huaishuo to scare them so much with just a change in tone? !

After a few people left in a noisy manner, Xiao Huaishuo also knew that the matter in Yangcheng was imminent, so after a simple farewell, he rode his horse towards Yongan City.

Not long after he left, Zhu Yunming brought his relatives and other people in Yong'an City who were infected with Fushou Cream to receive treatment.

These people were deceived and abducted by Zhu Yunming.

After all, those people in Yong'an City who were addicted to the longevity cream were all from well-off families. They had nothing to do at the time, so they just lay in bed all day and absorbed the longevity cream, and they felt very happy.

But Zhu Yunming and the city lord didn't want to do this. Even if they wanted to waste time staying in this mountain village longer, they still patiently listened to Su Qingning's instructions, just ready to find an opportunity to slip back to the city at any time.

As a result, Su Qingning asked them to take medicine with spiritual spring water, and then said she would play a song for them.

When these rich young men heard that the beauty was going to play the piano, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement and they all acted as if they were all listening attentively.

Su Qingning took out the guqin, and the sound of the guqin flowed slowly between her fingers. Because she secretly mobilized her music-related abilities, the sound of the guqin also had a healing effect.

The melodious and soothing sound of the piano echoed throughout the entire village, like the soft hands of a healing goddess, gently soothing everyone's restless hearts and bodies that had been corroded by toxins for a long time.

Everyone closed their eyes and felt like a free cloud, floating along with the piano music. They quietly felt the sound of the rain, the breeze blowing gently on their faces, and the rustling of leaves...

Everyone's breathing steadied as the piano played, and they wandered into gentle dreams following the music.

Until the last syllable slowly fell, Su Qingning raised his finger.

You could hear a pin drop in the village, but everyone was still immersed in the wonderful music, and it took a long time for them to come back to their senses.

Some people seemed to be enlightened by the sound of the piano and figured out many problems that they had been thinking about for a long time; some people seemed to be comforted by the melody, and their anxious emotions of recent days were relieved.

In short, almost everyone felt surprisingly peaceful and comfortable at the moment, and even some of their old ailments were alleviated a lot!

The brief happiness brought by Su Qingning's piano music and Fushou ointment is the kind that makes people feel relaxed and their entire physical condition improved after listening to it.

Now that they have felt the real benefits, they are sincerely willing to stay and receive treatment.

It was almost noon when Xiao Lingqiu brought the women of the Xiao family to the village.

Knowing that they were going to stay in the village for a while, my grandmother had brought everyone to buy some furniture and supplies this morning, and she also hired many servants to come and help.

Although these young men from wealthy families brought their servants with them, it would be very troublesome to manage them if they were allowed to take care of themselves.

It turns out that they can only pay for their meals, and the Xiao family will cook for them.

When the young masters heard that they could get special treatment, their faces immediately fell.

But the officers and soldiers brought by Zhu Yunming had already surrounded the mountain stronghold, and they really didn't dare to speak out even if they had any suffering.

After eating the various fruits and vegetables that Su Qingning brought out from the space at noon and experiencing the cooking skills of Xiao's grandmother and second sister-in-law, all the grievances in these people's hearts disappeared completely.

Look at that attitude, even if it is for medical treatment, he wants to stay a few more days and eat for free!

Su Qingning always felt unlucky living in the original furniture in the village, so she took advantage of these people's inattention to replace it with other furniture stored in the space.

Although these mountain bandits were arrogant, they were rough in nature. Many houses in the mountain village were in a very dilapidated state, and the roads were full of potholes.

Su Qingning immediately hired some villagers from nearby villages to come and repair the houses and roads.

She had so much money now that she couldn't count it all, and she had no intention of making things difficult for the poor people. She paid them more than she would have paid for the servants.

It was the first time for the villagers to see such a conscientious employer who worked very skillfully.

Knowing that Su Qingning might want to expand the house and city wall in the future, the villagers all rushed to express their hope to stay and continue to help.

The villages of these people were relatively close to the mountain village. Su Qingning thought it would be troublesome for them to go back and forth, so he cleared out many houses in the mountain village for them to live in.

Some people who were good at fighting even built wooden houses outside the village to live in.

Of course, no one expected that these wooden houses would become the initial prototype of the famous Yunwu City decades later.

Several years passed in a flash, and everyone in the village gradually adapted to their new life.

The situation outside was also changing rapidly, with breaking news coming one after another...
