Chapter 10 Good News
After resting for a while, Meng Zhao once again became familiar with the two martial arts that he had improved through the Sky Mirror.
Not only out of caution, not wanting to leave hidden dangers, but also out of enthusiasm for the extraordinary power of martial arts.
After all, we are human beings in two lives, especially the last one was in a world similar to the Age of Ending Law, so we have a clearer understanding of what it means to have this kind of power.
…
At noon, the sun in the sky is like a huge fireball, emitting endless light and heat, baking the earth, evaporating water and losing it, and the entire Nan'an County is wrapped in heat flow.
Meng Zhao felt the joy of being a rich man under the influence of his strong family background.
There is an unlimited supply of lukewarm water that is neither hot nor cold, allowing him to lazily soak in the hot spring-like bathing water while others are sweating profusely and busy working for a living, letting his body's fatigue wash away.
After eating the medicinal food specially prepared by the chef of the house, there are also sour plum soup specially cooled with ice cubes, iced watermelon, etc. for after-dinner snacks.
If you still feel hot, you can go inside to enjoy the coolness. The walls are dug out and ice cubes are stuffed in. The simple air conditioning facilities are primitive but effective...
In fact, in Meng Zhao's original world, ordinary families could do this, and it was even better and more colorful.
But in this world, only the powerful can enjoy it.
This is called the unevenness of the world. If you want to gain something, you must lose something.
When Meng Zhao put on a light blue Sichuan brocade shirt with emotion and sat in the study reading some anecdotes and secret records, Lu Le walked in excitedly. After saluting, he said excitedly,
"Master, that's a good thing.
I just received the news that the people assigned to our second property by the Second Young Master have resigned, so we can breathe a sigh of relief!"
Lu Le was actually very happy. Before Meng Zhao came back, the huge property of Erfang was the pocketbook of brothers Meng Xi and Meng Wen.
If you need it, come over and get some. Even Lu Zhong, the great butler, can only turn a blind eye or close one eye.
Now that the master Meng Zhao is back, Meng Wen, the second oldest, finally knows to stop.
This made Lu Le, who was originally worried about the greed of the two brothers, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as long as the young master comes back, everything will get better and the second house will become more and more prosperous.
It's a pity that Meng Xi's people didn't express anything.
Meng Zhao put down the volume of miscellaneous notes in his hand, and fiddled with the jade beads at hand quite naturally out of habit.
This thing is indeed very good. It has dual benefits for the body and spirit. It is subtle and makes people want to stop.
There was no expression of joy on his face, and he said calmly,
"It's a normal thing. I give him a favor and he gives me a favor. Don't get too excited.
You send people to be prepared to take over, and be sure to handle all aspects of the work smoothly to avoid being rushed and causing unnecessary losses.
If it doesn't work, you can let Meng Wen's people stay for another month, and then let them go after the work is clearly explained.
After all, there is still no movement from the eldest brother Meng Xi, and besides, the people of the Sun family are not going to deal with us, so we must be careful."
Lu Le was a little surprised, but more of a surprise.
He really didn't expect that Meng Zhao, who had stayed in the monk's temple for ten years, would behave so calmly.
Even he was blinded by the sudden good news and wanted to get rid of this group of people as soon as possible, but he ignored the potential crisis.
"Yes, young master, I will definitely handle this matter properly and not let you down."
Meng Zhao nodded, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked,
"By the way, have you found the guards who will visit Zhuangzi outside the city this afternoon? How are their abilities?"
The powerful Meng family's military power comes from many sources.
They have people in the military, and the Tianxing Hall, which is famous in Dayong, is also involved.
He also controls multiple Jianghu gangs, bodyguard agencies, martial arts schools and other industries under his name, which are the source of the Meng family's armed forces.
For example, when patrolling the Meng Mansion, the big men in black who are on guard are generally retired soldiers and apprentices from martial arts schools. They have average force but strong discipline.
By combining it with a few masters, you can patrol the Meng family very well.
After all, few people in Nan'an City dare to disturb the Meng family.
But the guard chosen when leaving the city is different. When you go to the outside world, your reputation and power are secondary and unsafe.
Only force is the only thing you can rely on.
Lu Le straightened his face and replied solemnly,
"Don't worry, young master. I know that the situation is not peaceful recently, so I specially sent two accomplished masters from my adoptive father to protect your safety.
One is called Scar, who is good at swordsmanship and hidden weapons. He once fought one against four and killed two masters of the same level. He is fierce and brave, and he doesn't care about death.
The other person is named Wang Tao. He has extraordinary palm strength and good light kung fu. He is highly praised by his adoptive father. He is also known as the master of martial arts. His martial arts is better than Scar.
There are also thirty acquired realms, agile followers to follow, and steel knives, concealed crossbows, and good horses, and safety is fully guaranteed."
The strength of this guard was already quite good in Meng Zhao's opinion.
Although this world now has many ancient myths and legends, there are also traces of strong men destroying the world.
But in today's era, martial arts is in a period of decline, and it is an unprecedented decline.
The acquired realm is normal, and most warriors are at this level.
In the innate realm, one can already be called a strong person, and his destructive power is already somewhat extraordinary.
As for the realm of the Grandmaster above the innate world, it appears that there are only ten in the world, but it exists as the ultimate power that is absolutely unrivaled.
Even if the Meng family is the dominant force in Nan'an County and a wealthy family in Jizhou, it is impossible for them to have too many innate masters, let alone to protect Meng Zhao as bodyguards.
Therefore, Meng Zhao is quite satisfied with Lu Le's arrangement. With his current stable and honest performance, if he really goes out of the city and encounters innate masters who come to kill him, then he will accept it. It is purely fate.
"Very good, in addition to these manpower, prepare some money.
When I get to the village, I can send it to those villagers whose families have been killed or injured, which can be considered as some of my thoughts.
If they have any difficulties in the future, they can be resolved first."
The normal pension had already been distributed by Lu Zhong, so the money was a compassionate gift from Meng Zhao.
A good reputation is also necessary for Meng Zhao, and a bright and majestic image must be admired and trusted by the vast majority of people.
What's more, as a person who graduated from Daci'en Temple and is a lay disciple in the monk's temple, this approach is also in line with his personal characteristics.
All that was spent was a small amount of money that had no meaning to Meng Zhao.
Furthermore, Meng Zhao, who has a sinister heart and is spying on the entire Meng family like a poisonous snake, also needs to create such a kind persona to deceive the two eldest brothers and even the elders of the Meng family.
He may not have a practical plan to compete for the position of head of the family, but that does not prevent him from having this ambition.
As for the seeds he planted, they were just foreshadowings. He didn't care whether they would work or not.
Of course Lu Le knew nothing about this. He just felt that the young master was kind-hearted and was so considerate to ordinary farmers, so he was a person worth following.
After bowing respectfully to Meng Zhao again, Lu Le left the room.
Meng Zhaoze twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked forward faintly. He seemed to see the person in charge of the Meng family and the mysterious person who manipulated him as a chess piece. He smiled softly.
The identities of prey and hunter are not constant.
There is a sky mirror, and the resources of the second room of the Meng family are at his disposal.
