Lu Zifeng ran quickly towards Linwu County. At this time, Lu Zifeng's speed ability had been upgraded to level three. His speed was extremely fast. It would take half an hour to walk, but Lu Zifeng only needed a few breaths to reach the destination.
There were thousands of refugees outside the city gate. Lu Zifeng did not move forward, but chose a direction and slowly looked for a way to enter the city.
He didn't believe that there was no way to enter the city from all directions. Lu Zifeng used all his mental strength, and when he turned to the south of the city, he still found a tunnel leading to the city. He followed the tunnel and walked to a small woods three miles away from the city.
Lu Zifeng looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He bent down and lifted the wooden board, and a dark hole appeared on the ground. Using his mental power to clear the way, Lu Zifeng quickly followed the passage into the city.
Looking at the dust on the ground on both sides of the passage, it seems that this passage has not been used for a long time.
Walking to the end of the passage, Lu Zifeng used his mental power to observe the outside and found that it was an abandoned courtyard.
After exiting the passage and coming to the ground, I found that the exit of the passage was the kitchen.
After leaving the kitchen, Bin soon arrived at the street. There were few people on the street, only a few people wandering around, and some yamen runners with swords on their waists were patrolling the people walking around.
Lu Zifeng subconsciously felt that he could not be exposed, so he left here very quickly and walked directly towards the county government office of Linwu County. With the help of his mental power, Lu Zifeng quickly found the location of the county government office.
When he arrived at the back of the county government office, Lu Zifeng used his mental power to quickly discover that in the study of the county government office, a middle-aged man in official uniform and a middle-aged man with shifty eyes were discussing something.
"Sir, we received news today that Qiyan Pass may no longer be able to be defended. The imperial court has not yet sent a large army. If the Tatars invade Bingzhou Prefecture, our Kunzhou Prefecture will also suffer."
The middle-aged official frowned and thought for a moment before saying.
"Have we prepared everything?"
The man with shifty eyes said flatteringly.
"Don't worry, sir! I'm ready. It seems the Tatars are coming with great force, and the princes in the capital are fighting fiercely. It's best for us not to get involved. Moreover, according to the spies, it's only a matter of time before Qiyan Pass is lost. We'd better prepare to leave here and head south as soon as possible."
The middle-aged official hesitated. "Master Tian, you should know that I gave the Marquis of Xichang a lot of benefits in order to get this position. If I don't take back the money now, I will lose a lot."
The corner of Master Tian's mouth twitched, but he didn't know how to persuade the master, and muttered in his heart.
"You've almost plundered Linwu County clean these past few years, and you're still trying to deceive me. Do you really think I don't know that you've already recovered all the money you gave me? And yet you're still pretending to be poor in front of me?"
"Master Tian, have you arranged everything? Arrange for people to send all these things out of the manor outside the city. There will be people there to send them to the capital. Alas, I have worked so hard for more than ten years, and now everything is being sent to the capital. I have worked in vain."
Master Tian nodded when he heard this and said, "Sir, I will arrange it right away. It is better for you to prepare early, otherwise, it may be too late."
After Master Tian finished speaking, he went out. After listening to their conversation, Lu Zifeng was certain that Master Tian was going to send the good things he had collected over the years to the capital. He just didn't know who he was sending them to. Was it the Marquis of Xichang they had just mentioned?
Lu Zifeng didn't intend to pay attention. Since he knew that the official in the county government was a corrupt official, it would be better for the money to go into his own pocket.
After thinking about it, Lu Zifeng followed Master Tian and walked around to a yard. The yard was not big and was very dilapidated. Master Tian walked into a dilapidated house, found a hole under the water tank, knocked on it a few times, and soon, he opened it from the inside, revealing a black human head.
"Master Tian, you're here. Everything is ready. When are we going to leave?"
Master Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, but the master said that you should send these things to the steward of the farm outside the city before tomorrow morning, and someone will come to take them away."
The man nodded after hearing this.
"I understand, Master Tian. We will start delivering it at three o'clock in the morning."
After Master Tian finished explaining things, he went back. Lu Zifeng waited until Master Tian left, took out the sleeping pills from the space and sprinkled them in the cave. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lu Zifeng entered the tunnel.
The smell in the tunnel is really bad. I don’t know how these people could stay in there for so long.
Looking at the people lying in the tunnel, Lu Zifeng searched them and walked inside. Not long after, he heard voices coming from inside the cave. Lu Zifeng walked slowly towards them with light steps. When he got there, he found that there were only five or six people. Judging from their figures, they were all martial artists. However, these were nothing but weaklings to Lu Zifeng.
The reason I used the drug just now was because I was afraid that the noise of the fight would be too loud and alert the people here. That would make things difficult. Although Lu Zifeng is powerful, he is also afraid of trouble! It is best not to take action if possible.
Lu Zifeng walked to the few people at a very fast speed, and the dagger in his hand quickly slashed across their necks, and blood gushed out instantly.
Lu Zifeng had never thought of holding back against these people. He smelled a strong smell of blood from them. This was something that only murderers could have. Only after killing many people could they have such a strong bloody aura.
After killing the man, Lu Zifeng continued walking along the passage. The passage was very spacious. It was probably dug to transport things, so it was very spacious.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Lu Zifeng found the warehouse with the help of his spirit. After entering the warehouse, he saw more than twenty boxes stacked together. Lu Zifeng directly put all the boxes into the space. There was a small door behind the boxes. After opening the door, he saw the room full of food, but they were all coarse grains. Lu Zifeng was a little disappointed, but then he thought, it is better to have something than nothing, right? Now the Lu family has not much food left, and it can only last for ten days at most. Now, Linwu County is under lockdown, and even if food can be bought, it will be difficult to transport the food out.
After collecting the grain, Lu Zifeng slowly walked out of the tunnel. The exit was at the corner of the wall at the edge of the courtyard of a village. After leaving the village, Lu Zifeng was a little dumbfounded. Damn, where is this? He actually turned around and couldn't tell the directions.
