Chapter 50: Chapter 50 - 50 What to Do?_1

“Let’s go, it’s time to return…”

Qu Yan felt the gusts of cold wind that blew incessantly from all directions.

He couldn’t help but shrink his neck a little.

He whispered to Xiong Qi, the black-furred tiger at his side.

“It’s indeed time to return…”

“Having killed these today should be enough.”

Xiong Qi silently nodded, then seeming to remember something, he asked Qu Yan in a low voice, “Sir, what do you think we should do about the Luo Family next time?”

“Should we continue to target the remaining Qingshi ore veins?”

“Or, shall we aim for other aspects of the Luo Family?”

Qu Yan did not voice a response to this question.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to answer, but that he too did not know.

The affairs of the future could be spoken of later.

The future was filled with uncertainties.

Who could know what the future would be like?

As time elapsed,

before you knew it, daylight broke.

On the streets of Qingshi Town, there were plenty of pedestrians and refugees constantly coming and going.

As Luo Yong kept expanding his troops, resulting in more soldiers maintaining order in Qingshi Town,

the small vendors finally began to gather the courage to set up stalls and earn money in these troubled times.

“Meat buns, fragrant meat buns…”

“Candied hawthorn sticks, delicious candied hawthorn sticks…”

“Beggar’s chicken, tender and smooth beggar’s chicken…”

The street was filled with the uninterrupted calls of the street vendors.

As Luo Chuan walked silently on the street, he saw this and smiled, nodding slightly.

Ever since his Luo Family took over Qingshi Town, everything in the town seemed to be gradually changing for the better.

[Gulp…]

Suddenly, a swallowing sound rose beside Luo Chuan.

He turned his head slightly and saw Liu Qingqing, with her head lowered slightly and her cheeks somewhat reddened.

Yes, at this moment, Liu Qingqing had been made into a little servant girl by Luo Chuan’s side.

Liu Qingqing was very attractive, which was one of the reasons.

The second reason was that Luo Chuan always felt that Liu Qingqing seemed to be hiding some secret.

Logically speaking, if one were a commoner,

or according to Liu Qingqing’s account, the daughter of a high official who had been beheaded,

many subtle and unconscious behaviors should not be as he observed in her.

“Do you want to eat beggar’s chicken?”

Looking back at Liu Qingqing, whose eyes were slightly gleaming as she stared at the beggar’s chicken stall,

Luo Chuan’s eyes narrowed lightly.

He asked Liu Qingqing in a soft voice behind him.

“I… don’t want to!” Liu Qingqing turned her head away, insisting somewhat stubbornly.

In reality, she did want to eat the delicious beggar’s chicken.

Even though she and her mother had been brought into the Luo Family by Luo Chuan,

in the Luo Family,

neither she nor her mother received any special treatment; in fact, their conditions were even worse than some ordinary servants.

“You don’t want to eat?”

“Such a pity, if you had said you wanted to eat, perhaps I would have bought you one…”

“Really? Then I want to!” Liu Qingqing said excitedly.

To this, Luo Chuan chuckled somewhat mischievously, “Too late, you’ve missed your chance now!!!”

Having said that, Luo Chuan walked straight ahead.

Despite feeling indignant inside, Liu Qingqing couldn’t really do anything about Luo Chuan.

Now, she was nothing more than a lowly servant within the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Could she possibly kill her own master?

Luo Chuan, Liu Qingqing, and some of the Luo Family house servants with a certain level of strength.

This group of people, after strolling outside for about half an hour longer.

Luo Chuan then led those behind him back into the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

However, as soon as Luo Chuan stepped into the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

his brows couldn’t help but wrinkle slightly.

Something about the atmosphere within the clan seemed a bit off…

“Could it be that something has happened?”

Thinking so in his heart, Luo Chuan then quickly headed towards the room where his father dealt with family affairs.

Before he could enter the room, he could hear his third uncle’s extremely angry swearing.

As well as his father’s sighs of helplessness.

“Father, third uncle, has something happened?”

Upon entering the room, Luo Chuan walked up and directly asked his father and third uncle.

Seeing his son appear, Luo Ping still sat quietly in the main seat, silently sighing.

Luo Chuan’s third uncle took a deep breath, his face carrying some fury as he explained in detail to his nephew.

Luo Chuan: “So, it was Blackwind Stockade that moved against the qingshi ore veins that our Luo Family is currently mining?”

Luo Yong: “It appears to be the case…”

After the situation was clarified,

the atmosphere in the room once again became somewhat oppressive.

Previously, when Black Tiger Fortress and other stockades contained it,

Blackwind Stockade, although also causing destruction everywhere, had at least not been so blatant and unbridled.

But now, Black Tiger Fortress has fallen.

One of Qingshi Town’s four great families, the Zhao Family, has also fallen.

The Luo Family has successfully claimed the throne, becoming the new ruler of Qingshi Town.

But outside Qingshi Town, Blackwind Stockade has also become a colossus-like entity.

No other bandit forces can contend with Blackwind Stockade anymore.

“Regarding this matter, what does father plan to do?”

After a long silence, Luo Chuan suddenly asked his father Luo Ping in a low voice.

However, before Luo Ping could give a clear answer,

Luo Chuan’s third uncle, Luo Yong, directly spoke out: “If you ask me, our Luo Family should just take down Blackwind Stockade in one fell swoop.”

“Blackwind Stockade? What is that even?”

“As one of Qingshi Town’s four great families, with a history of several hundred years, the Zhao Family was annihilated by our Luo Family.”

“Blackwind Stockade? Crushing it would be as simple as crushing an ant!”

Luo Yong was not wrong.

In terms of comprehensive strength, there was no comparison between Blackwind Stockade and the Luo Family.

But now, the biggest problem is,

The Luo Family of Qingshi Town operates in the open,

While Blackwind Stockate skulks in the shadows.

The Luo Family Ancestral Land is in the middle of Qingshi Town, yet no one knows which mountaintop Blackwind Stockade’s stronghold is on.

“Third uncle’s words are not wrong,”

“But who knows where the Blackwind Stockade stronghold actually is?”

“If we do not know where Blackwind Stockade’s stronghold is, how can our Luo Family take them down?”

Luo Chuan looked helplessly at his third uncle Luo Yong, whose limbs were well-developed but whose mind was somewhat simple.

He sighed softly and said in a low voice,

“Then tell me, what should our Luo Family do?”

“You can’t mean we just watch as Blackwind Stockade continually targets our Luo Family, and we do nothing in response?”

Luo Yong’s face turned red; he was getting anxious.

His initial idea to venture out and make a name for himself hadn’t changed to this day!

If the Luo Family were truly held back by this petty Blackwind Stockade, Luo Yong would naturally be extremely displeased.
