DipNovel Chapter 792 Incense
Chapter 792 Incense
Li Ming laughed out loud after successfully tricking Yan Chengying into getting on the bus, but Yan Chengying didn't notice and was secretly glad that he had stopped Wushuangmen from becoming a second Chilong Gang.
With a smug look on his face, Li Ming returned to Su Mei's study.
As soon as the door opened, Su Mei was hit by a stench of blood that even incense couldn't mask.
This made Su Mei frown. "Hmm, Martial Uncle, did you just go out and kill someone?"
"No..." Su Mei's question stumped Li Ming, but Su Mei didn't mind. "Uncle-Master, is there anything else? I'll make arrangements for the remaining brothers, and we can set off tomorrow."
"I just told Cheng Ying, and he agreed immediately." When Su Mei asked him this, Li Ming remembered that he had come to report on his achievements.
To Su Mei, this sounded like a lie. "Uncle-Master, you didn't actually tell Yan Dubo the whole story, did you?"
All he needs to know is that we turned bad because of the Wushuang Sect!
Li Ming's words were righteous and incorruptible.
To anyone else, Li Ming could be described as an absolutely loyal person.
"Uncle-Master, if you don't tell Yan Dubo, how am I supposed to assign those brothers to other places?" Su Mei put down her pen and placed it on the inkstone.
This didn't matter to Li Ming. "Where there's a generous reward, there will be brave men! So let's go to the Baiyue region first, and we'll naturally have a chance."
"Shall we go and see the magistrate of Po County?" Su Mei's tone was slightly teasing. As for the question Li Ming raised, she didn't dwell on it too much. Indeed, these issues were easy to resolve, and someone would naturally make the choice in due time.
But when Su Mei said that, Li Ming just waved his hand and said, "Let's not keep provoking his fragile heart."
The next day, Yan Chengying, knowing exactly what he was going to do, had already organized his men and was ready to set off at any time.
Su Mei complained, but she still got up early and settled those who didn't want to leave the stronghold. Cheng Ling Shuang, on the other hand, seemed absent-minded after her morning exercise. Perhaps she was regretting that she wouldn't be able to punish evil like this in the future.
"We will depart today, arrive at Poyang County in three days, and then head south to Baiyue!"
Li Ming pointed his sword in the direction of the command, and apart from Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping, there were very few people who responded, since many people wanted a stable place.
If these people hadn't originally belonged to the government troops in Yangzhou and hadn't been unable to return to their hometowns normally, many of them probably would have run away when they returned to Yangzhou.
After all, who would choose to become an outlaw if they weren't desperate to survive?
"Okay, I agree to everything. Let's set off right away!"
A procession of carriages and horses departed from the mountain stronghold. The loss of the Red Dragon Gang was not entirely without its benefits. For example, the Red Dragon Gang and the various bandit groups in Yangzhou contributed to the development of the Wushuang Sect.
As for why it's called the Peerless Sect, Li Ming said he couldn't be bothered with so many people. If there were so many people in the original world, and they had the ability to conduct research, or if there were ten Ishigami Yamazaki, Li Ming said he wouldn't care at all.
Therefore, Li Ming basically handed these people over to Su Mei to play with, treating it as practice.
Su Mei's sword is called Wushuang, so the Li Family Escort Agency was officially renamed Wushuang Gate.
Three days later, a large group of hundreds of people arrived in the Po County area. This large group of people frightened the Po County government so much that they almost lit the beacon towers.
No, didn't the Red Dragon Gang just disappear? How come there are so many more people here?
Do you really think people don't need money?
However, Li Ming and his group did not enter Po County, nor did they even go there to greet them. After all, compared to other places, Po County, where the Li Family Escort Agency originated, was naturally more wary of Li Ming and his group.
They were not only wary of Li Ming, Su Mei, and Cheng Ling Shuang, all highly accomplished disciples of Taixu Mountain.
Even subordinates like Yan Chengying, Zhao Lianping, and Liu Shuimiao were required to remember everything clearly and not forget it.
“Uncle-Master, Qin Baijiang’s tomb is just ahead. If we go south for another ten miles, we will reach Nanmen Mountain in Pixian County. We can go there to rest.”
Su Mei determined the direction and then pointed to a cemetery next to her with the map. The tombstone that Li Ming had casually erected was now leaning slightly, and the turned-up mound of earth and the newly covered soil showed that someone had been to Qin Baijiang's grave not long ago.
"Stop. Su Mei, Ling Shuang, Cheng Ying, Lian Ping, come with me to take a look. Bring some incense while you're at it. Shui Miao, you take the brothers and rest here. Get the oil in the wok."
"Yes, Uncle-Master!" Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang bowed and took the reins from the coachman. They untied the two horses hanging on the carriage, handing one to Li Ming and keeping the other for the two of them to ride together.
Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping both flicked the reins, and their horses emerged from the formation. "Yes, sir!"
The five of them rode their horses for only a few steps before arriving at Qin Baijiang's tomb. They dismounted, and Li Ming wiped his hand, activating the Holy Mark on his back. Honkai energy was transformed into flames, which he used to light a few sticks of incense. He casually stuck them into the freshly turned soil. "Hmm, I don't know what to say. The deceased is gone. Since we're passing by, let's offer some incense."
Li Ming's casual action left the people behind him speechless, especially in a time when the dead are respected. What Li Ming did seemed so disrespectful.
They came to offer incense, but they acted so irresponsibly.
"Really, Uncle-Master, you might as well not say anything!" Su Mei rolled her eyes, put her hands together, and looked very solemn.
Cheng Ling Shuang, unusually, joined Su Mei in refuting Li Ming, "...Yes."
"Alright, alright, just light some incense. What he did was definitely problematic. Didn't you see his grave was dug up?" Li Ming muttered, pointing to the unstable tombstone and the refurbished yellow mud. "I don't know who's after Qin Baijiang's meager earnings. All he has to show for himself is his tattoos; he doesn't even have a decent set of clothes."
Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping bowed respectfully, a sign of their respect for the master, as the three of them had almost been killed by Qin Baijiang.
However, after offering incense, Yan Chengying noticed something: "Lord Li, the fragments of the demonic sword are gone."
"It's alright, it's alright. Maybe it was picked up and melted down. After all, it's an alloy, and it's worth some money!" Li Ming waved his hand. These were all minor matters, as such things could indeed happen in this situation.
As for the Honkai Beast organization on the fragment, it was so shattered, how much organization could be left? Moreover, unless it was a freak like Qin Baijiang who would do fusion without saying a word, how could the Honkai Beast organization on it be activated?
After the incense burned out, Li Ming had Zhao Lianping and Yan Chengying straighten the tombstone, then mounted his horse and said, "Let's go, let's continue!"
