Master of Fist

Chapter 484: covet

On the second day, Jiang Heng was preparing to go out of the mansion to visit Lin Hengyueshan and other senior brothers who were seriously injured.

But before they set off, Zhou Fu appeared in the mansion with a tired face.

study-

"Master!"

Zhou Fu looked a little dusty all over, with blood stains and scars on his body, obviously he had retreated from the frontline battlefield.

"Sit!" Jiang Heng signaled Zhou Fu to take a seat.

Zhou Fu nodded, without pausing too much, but hurriedly said: "Master, we have lost a lot of manpower in this battle!"

There were warriors who followed Jiang Heng before, and those warriors are currently Jiang Heng's followers and subordinates in a strict sense. Most of them are wandering warriors, and there are also some disciples of relatively dilapidated gymnasiums and dojos, but the number is not many.

"How about the casualties?" Jiang Heng was more concerned about these subordinates, no matter what they said, they could be regarded as making a living under his subordinates. And it will be impossible to do everything by yourself in the future, so the importance of these people is also reflected.

"A total of 25,300 people. After this battle, 9,321 people died in the battle, and more than 2,000 of them had injuries of various sizes. We have suffered heavy losses in this battle!"

Zhou Fu's expression was a little downcast, because these warriors who followed Jiang Heng participated in the battle around Zhou Fu during the battle, and he saw many people died in battle.

But there was nothing he could do.

Hearing that Jiang Heng was silent, the battle between the alliance and the orcs was really tragic. Most of the empire's battle losses were ordinary combatants wearing mechanical exoskeletons.

Of course, the battle damage rate of the empire is often very high in this way, and it usually takes a mobile team of dozens of people to deal with an ordinary orc. But considering that the losses in the alliance battle were all real fighters, the loss of the empire seemed far less than that.

"But the good news is that the loot captured is also extremely rich. We have collected nearly 100,000 orc corpses in total, and there are also as many as 100,000 blood crystals." Zhou Fu immediately cheered up.

"I don't know what Master's plan is for these orc corpses. If they are sold to the alliance, they can be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources and many precious minerals and elixirs."

Jiang Heng pondered for a while.

"Replace it with cultivation resources."

Jiang Heng is very clear about the next goal, that is, to do everything possible to return to the Qinglan Realm. Among them, recruiting manpower and saving the Qinglan Realm in the future will require massive resources as background.

"By the way, Master, City Master Yue asked you to be the honorary City Master of Tianchen City, and City Master Yue said that it is not for nothing, and will reward Master with ten mineral planets as the honorary City Master reward!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Heng was slightly surprised. These are not random planets, but ten mining planets. Any mining planet in the Iron Ring star field contains great wealth. This is a big deal!

"Does Lord Yue have any other requests?" Jiang Heng quickly regained his composure and said indifferently.

"That's not true..." Zhou Fu shook his head, "It's just that City Lord Yue said that he will visit Master when his injuries recover."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng nodded, it seemed that he still had something to worry about.

But choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Heng got up and explained to Zhou Fu that he wanted to visit City Lord Yue, and the two left Jiangfu one after the other.

The miniature flying boat has been prepared outside, and the Jiang Mansion has long been equipped with all kinds of facilities and personnel. The driver is an old man, and the driving of the miniature flying boat is very stable. This is also equivalent to a groom, and he can fly directly there, but considering his current status, Jiang Heng still takes the flying boat in order not to cause a commotion.

The speed is very fast, and it takes only a moment to reach the gate of the city lord's mansion.

All the way was unimpeded, until he came to the top floor of Yueshan, where he usually handles official business and also serves as an area for him to rest.

"Jiang...Master Jiang!"

Xiaoyue, who was standing outside, was cleaning a sheet with a little blood on it, but she was startled when she saw Jiang Heng and Zhou Fu coming in one after the other.

"How is Senior Brother Yue?" Jiang Heng asked in a low voice without rushing into it.

"Master is getting better now, but the injury is too serious and he can only stay in bed." Xiaoyue looked a little sad.

"Xiaoyue...but Junior Brother Jiang is here? Let Junior Brother Jiang come in!"

At this moment, Yue Shan's slightly tired voice came from inside.

Xiaoyue responded, and immediately led Jiang Heng into the inner compartment. As soon as the door was opened, a tangy medicinal fragrance rushed over.

Jiang Heng's eyes were instantly attracted by the figure wrapped in gauze on the bed.

At this moment, Yue Shan's whole body was entangled in bandages, and some blood even penetrated into the bandages.

"Jiang...Junior Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, but I can't get up to greet you because of my health." Yue Shan said weakly, and at the same time he gave a slight wink.

Seeing Xiaoyue tease Zhou Fu, the two closed the door together and left the room.

There were only two people left in the empty room.

"Senior brother, you..." Jiang Heng was a little silent. Senior brother Yue Shan was affected by Lie Yangjun's star energy before. Although he was not directly hit, he also suffered severe burns.

It stands to reason that ordinary burn injuries will never have the slightest impact on superior warriors, but the high temperature that Lie Yangjun broke out is too terrifying, even the edge area is highly solidified, and the temperature has exceeded 10,000 degrees.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, don't be offended. My injury is due to some fire poison that is difficult to expel. If I want to recover in the future, I'm afraid I will have to cultivate for a year or so."

Yue Shan smiled wryly, feeling very lonely.

"By the way, junior brother, you already know about the honorable city lord, right?"

Yue Shan obviously didn't plan to worry about his injury.

"Yeah." Jiang Heng nodded to Yue Shan.

Jiang Heng feels that this person is a person who puts the overall situation first, and is very keen to be loyal to the alliance. It can be said that everything he does is for the alliance.

"Appoint me as the honorary city lord, I'm afraid Senior Brother Yue Shan wants me to calm down the situation temporarily!"

Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not that we can't give the League a place."

Thinking that he may need to use the power of the alliance to return to the empire and solve the troubles in Qinglan Realm, Jiang Heng felt that it was not impossible to contribute to the alliance.

"Brother, these ten planets can be regarded as some thanks for saving the city of Tianchen this time. Of course, these brothers know that it is not enough, but as the lord of the mere city of Tianchen, for the time being, the brother can only fight for the current situation for the younger brother." Some benefits. When the senior brother returns to the alliance, he must submit to the alliance to ask for credit for the junior brother!"

Yue Shan made another series of promises of benefits,

"Senior brother, let's just say it straight!" Since he had already planned to raise his hand, Jiang Heng didn't bother to be polite to Yue Shan.

Yue Shan was silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly and said, "Since that's the case, brother will be blunt. I believe you have also seen what brother looks like now."

"At present, the Iron Ring Starfield has just been settled, but the remnants of the orcs are still scattered in this huge Iron Ring Starfield. Of course, these can be solved by relying on the warriors in the city. It's just that some people will have different ideas!"

"Anomaly?"

"Ahem, junior brother, don't want me to say it clearly. Although I am an insider of the alliance, who else is the top inside the alliance besides my city?" Yue Shan coughed twice and smiled wryly.

Hearing this, Jiang Heng rubbed his chin slightly.

"I trust Senior Brother Lin Heng's character. But Senior Brother Lin Heng was hurt more than me, so now I can only trouble Brother Jiang."

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Hou, and He Min and the others all have ambiguous purposes. I'm afraid they may have some bad intentions!" Yue Shan's tone was slightly condensed, with a serious expression on his face.

Hearing this, Jiang Heng nodded slightly, not beyond his expectations, Yue Shan was still worried about Lu Hui and the others.

It's just that Jiang Heng doesn't understand that Senior Brother Yue Shan is a high-ranking member of the alliance, equivalent to an official.

Could it be that Lu Hui and others dared to kill officials?

"Are you wondering why I am worried that Senior Brother Lu and others have evil intentions?"

Yue Shan seemed to know what Jiang Heng wanted and said with a smile.

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, this was also a point of his doubts, he dared to take action against the superiors within the alliance, unless Lu Hui and others didn't want to be in the alliance anymore.

"Of course they would not dare to do this on a normal day. But this place has lost contact with the outside world, and the most surviving people in the city are the direct descendants of Senior Brother Lu and others.

These few people are not good people. They have never dealt with the alliance very much, but they are honest and obedient to the alliance's orders on weekdays.

It's just that things are different now..."

Yue Shan seemed very worried~lightnovelpub.net~Brother might be a little worried! "Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Hehe, it's not that if you don't fear ten thousand, you're afraid of what happens!" Yue Shan smiled awkwardly, and he also knew that his statement was a bit far-fetched.

"Senior Brother Yue, I don't know what your plan is. I can temporarily sit in Tianchen City, but recently, many people under my command are still lying on the bed." Jiang Heng smiled lightly.

I muttered to myself.

"It seems that things are not that simple. Lu Hui and others will never rashly attack the superiors in the alliance. The risk they have to bear is too great. And Lu Hui and others' families are all in the alliance. Unless..."

Unless there is some irresistible temptation, an irresistible temptation.

Of course, you can't ask Yue Shan directly about this matter, it is probably useless to ask.

As for exactly what caused Lu Hui and others to covet them, I believe they will know in the future.

"It's easy to say, the treasury still has a lot of pills in reserve, so I'll send someone to send one to my junior brother. In addition, I see that the weapons in the hands of my junior brother have also been damaged a lot, and some weapons and equipment will also be sent over. .”

Yue Shan quickly responded with a smile, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Since Jiang Heng is willing to promise, then everything is easy to talk about.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, sitting in the flying boat all the way across the river, he was in a thoughtful state.

"Master, the city lord..." Zhou Fu was a little curious.

"Well, Senior Brother Yue is going to give me some pills and weapons. If someone comes, you can meet them!"

After Jiang Heng perfunctorily said Zhou Fu's words, he thought for a while and said to the imperial servant, "Old Zhang, go to the Lin Mansion!"

Lao Zhang was an old man who seemed to be over half a century old, and he went straight to the nearby Lin Mansion without asking any further questions.

Jiangfu and Linfu are very close, and it is not far from Jiangfu right now, so there is no need to take a detour and just turn a corner.
