Chapter 790 After descending the mountain, letting loose and being yourself
The events in the East China Sea are a minor matter, like a drop of ink sinking into the ocean, which cannot pollute the blue of the sea.
However, the changes in the East China Sea region were unexpected and earth-shattering, but these reports remained stagnant in the martial arts world.
After all, in the eyes of the martial arts world, the strength of the Red Dragon Gang is considerable. Even if there is only one person like Qin Baijiang, the nearly 10,000 bandits pose a huge threat.
In a mountain village outside Yangzhou, a faint fragrance wafts from the antique-style hall.
Pushing open the door, Su Mei was sitting in the study, engrossed in Lao Gao's booklet. This place was their temporary base, the first mountain stronghold that Li Ming had kicked down. The former leader's head was still hanging in front of the mountain gate.
"Uncle-Master?" Su Mei asked curiously. She noticed that after her uncle had finally had a few days of free time, that same curiosity had returned to his eyes. This piqued Su Mei's interest. "Uncle-Master, have you heard any news about Li Island lately?"
"I've got some news. Hmm, what have you been up to lately?" Li Ming answered instinctively when Su Mei suddenly asked him this, but he couldn't help but notice the Xuan paper in Su Mei's hand and the pen she was holding.
These words made Su Mei rub her forehead. "Uncle-Master, have you forgotten that it's been quite a hassle for us to stabilize the thousands of brothers after we left Po County these past few days?"
"So, what are you planning to do?" Li Ming casually picked up a few scrolls of paper that Su Mei had written and flipped through them. "Is this how it is? Temporarily settle thousands of brothers on the mountain and set up fixed points around Yangzhou. You don't trust those officials?"
Su Mei's deployment was essentially a reconstruction of all the mountain strongholds that Li Ming had destroyed along his way, and she also settled those people down.
“But what about those brothers who want to go home?” Li Ming put down some booklets and looked at Su Mei.
However, Li Ming's words made Su Mei roll her eyes. "Uncle, you have such a bad memory. We clearly agreed that the matter of Wushuang Sect was discussed between you and me. Even if those brothers don't want to stay near the stronghold, they will still need a skill or a way to support their families after they return home. So we can provide them with those opportunities."
Su Mei smiled. Although she knew that Li Ming had most likely forgotten, she still took out some booklets from the bottom and handed them to Li Ming. "If you forget, Uncle-Master, you can look at these more often so you won't forget."
"Okay, maybe my uncle forgot..." What else could Li Ming say? He had already been criticized by Su Mei. Luckily, he hadn't forgotten to change his clothes when he came in, otherwise Su Mei would have been confused for a while by his modern attire.
She placed the booklet with the inscription "Peerless" on top of the stack of booklets. "If all else fails, why don't you take the imperial examination? I think you're quite suitable to be a female official, Su Mei."
"Hehe, if you think you can handle Wushuang's affairs on your own, I don't mind taking the imperial examination. But I'd rather not become an official; there are too many rules."
Su Mei flicked the Xuanyuan Sword at her waist. Her peerless sword represented her personality, which teetered between right and wrong. And with such a personality, she might rebel after only a few days as a female official.
"If you get any news from your master, go and make preparations. I'll arrange things for the other brothers."
"Where's Ling Shuang?" Li Ming glanced around, but then noticed Su Mei staring at him. Li Ming suddenly realized, "Oh, I almost forgot... Although it's all for the brothers, we can't forget about cultivation. Remember, use it or lose it."
After leaving the house, Li Ming couldn't help but grumble. That brat Su Mei had really let herself go after coming down the mountain. He should have let Lin Chaoyu take Cheng Ling Shuang down the mountain.
No, I shouldn't have called for help. It's not like I can't control these guys. Does Yan Chengying really not have any control over them?
Then Li Ming watched as Yan Chengying led a group of people, surrounding Cheng Ling Shuang in the middle, with a bloody human head hanging from her waist. Clearly, they had just returned from a killing spree. That brat Cheng Ling Shuang was truly a pure killer; she had completely let loose after coming down the mountain.
