The medicine shops opened by the Zhao family in many cities were suddenly attacked by people of unknown origin. Also attacked were the Wu family medicine shops. Not only were the medicine shops under attack, but the teams transporting medicinal materials were also attacked.

This is the first time for a large-scale attack. Because some cities are far away from Qinghuang Town, the news that they were attacked did not reach the Zhao family.

News of the city closer to Qinghuang Town soon reached the Zhao family, and Lin Xuejiao was very angry when she heard it.

"These bastards are worse than pigs and dogs. I treated them too lightly." Lu Qianmeng cursed loudly.

"Now three teams transporting medicinal materials have been attacked, and six drug stores have been severely damaged. So far, we have killed nearly fifty people and injured countless others. The medicinal materials have either been robbed or burned." Zhao Lin said.

Tell Lin Xuejiao the truth about the situation.

"This is only the preliminary information received. I estimate that there are more places that have also been attacked, but they are far away and we don't know yet." Zhao Lin continued.

"They are too despicable, too shameless, they have lost their conscience and have no humanity at all." Even Lady Jade couldn't help but curse.

"Sister Xuejiao, what should we do now?" Zhao Ke asked, looking at Lin Xuejiao who was as cold as ice.

"I don't know what to do. Zhao Lin is right. It is definitely not these few places that have been attacked. There must be more places that have also been attacked. Such a large-scale attack is definitely not what a certain gang calls it. But it is not that

They don't have so many people, but they don't have that much courage." Lin Xuejiao felt heartbroken. It was the first time she encountered such a thing.

"Now we must first find out who did it. We simply don't have that many manpower to investigate. Have you noticed a problem? These drug stores that were attacked are basically cities that we are not very familiar with, and the city owners are not close to us.

Intersection.”

"Sister Xuejiao, you are right. This is the fact." Zhao Yan looked at the data in his hand and found that it was indeed what Lin Xuejiao said.

"They are using tactics everywhere. We have no way to prevent them, and we don't have so many manpower to track them down. This tactic is really vicious." Lin Xuejiao frowned.

"If this continues, our drug stores in major cities will be uprooted by them, and our medicinal materials will not be transported out." Zhao Ke analyzed.

"This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that once we cut off our income, we will not be able to provide food and grass for the frontline soldiers, which will lead to unstable military morale. This move is too vicious." Lin Xuejiao continued to analyze.

"If you don't tell us that we really didn't expect so much, is there a huge conspiracy here?" Lu Qianmeng asked.

"I'm not sure about this yet, but I feel that this time it's not as simple as venting personal anger. Arrange people to quickly investigate. No matter how difficult it is, we must find out who did it and who is the mastermind behind the scenes." Lin Xuejiao issued.

Order.

"Why do these scumbags never end?" Wu Tianming was furious.

"Brother, we suffered heavy losses this time. Seven or eight shops were burned down, more than 100 people died, and more than 200 people were injured. The Zhao family was also attacked. I don't know if this situation has happened in other places.

"Wu Qiming's face was ashen.

"Let's go and discuss it with Zhao Zhenduo." The two brothers quickly arrived at the Zhao Mansion, where Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan were discussing matters.

"Brothers, please sit down quickly. If you don't come, I will go and invite you. Do you understand everything?"

"Third brother, we all know this, so we came over to discuss with you what to do."

"Brother Wu, Brother Baichuan and I have been studying this matter since we received the news. This multi-point attack is premeditated, and not one gang can do it. Someone is manipulating this matter, and we must investigate as soon as possible.

Find out who they are." Zhao Zhenduo said with a bitter smile.

"Is it still possible that they

The reason for launching more attacks is to disperse our manpower and ambush us?" Wu Qiming expressed his own opinion.

"It's either that it's not possible, or we don't have that many manpower to conduct a comprehensive investigation now. Something happened in seven or eight cities at the same time. This is only what we know. Maybe there is still news that has not been received."

"What Lao San said is right. As for how many places have been damaged, we are still not sure. Bad news may come one after another, which will be even more terrifying." Xu Baichuan showed deep concern.

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death. When things happen, we have to deal with the aftermath. We have to comfort the injured and give an explanation to the family of the deceased." Wu Tianming was extremely anxious at this time.

In the end, no one could come up with a feasible solution, so they had to arrange for someone to handle the funeral arrangements first.

Things turned out just as they imagined, and accidents happened to drug stores in several cities one after another. When the news came, they felt the seriousness of the problem.

In just half a month, Zhao Zhenduo and Wu Tianming received more than 20 similar incidents. This is not the final result, and there may be more.

The news that the Zhao family and the Wu family suffered heavy losses was well known, and people were panicked for a while. When Zhao Zhenduo received a letter from Lin Xuejiao a few days later, he realized that the seriousness of the problem was far more than that.

The eight drug stores mentioned in Lin Xuejiao's letter were attacked, which is not the same as her own. This means that nearly forty stores have been attacked, which is scary when you think about it.

During this period, a dark cloud has been hanging over everyone in the Zhao family, and everyone is very anxious. The problem is that it has not stopped at all, and is getting worse.

All transportation has stopped, and the medicinal materials in Qinghuang Town have begun to backlog. When there is a problem in one link, the chain will be linked to form a vicious cycle.

Lin Xuejiao also received a letter from Zhao Zhenduo, and the content of the letter made her feel even heavier. The situation is now out of control, and the harm caused is immeasurable.

The Zhao family has encountered an unprecedented crisis. This crisis can be said to be fatal. It will not only defeat the Zhao family, but also have a huge impact on the direction of the war.

Although Lin Xuejiao has arranged for some people to go out to track and investigate, there are too many cities involved and they are relatively scattered. The people she arranged are only a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the actual problem at all.

A month later, not only did no clues be found, but nearly a hundred drug stores of Zhao's and Wu's were destroyed, with two to three thousand people killed or injured. In desperation, Zhao Zhenduo went to Cai Bin to discuss it.

"Master Hou, I will look for you even if you don't come. As soon as something happens, I will start looking for clues."

"Master Cai, I have asked you to worry too much." Zhao Zhenduo said quickly.

"It's our own people who don't talk about the two families. This is a premeditated attack. On the surface, it is revenge for the Zhao family and a grudge in the world. But in fact, it attacks your Zhao family and will affect the war ahead. Qinghuang

The town is the granary of the Canglang Empire, and a large part of the tax revenue comes from Qinghuang Town. At the same time, the Zhao family also spends money and food to raise troops, and has been supporting the front line. Cutting off the Zhao family's income is equivalent to cutting off the food and grass for the front.

The intentions are not evil."

"Master Cai's analysis is that Xuejiao thought of this problem immediately. If eight out of ten are attacked, it is possible that he is seeking revenge and venting his anger. The destruction of hundreds of drug stores has damaged our foundation. This month is green and yellow.

The town's tax revenue will drop by more than half, and it is estimated that it will not even reach 30% next month." Zhao Zhenduo sighed.

"Students from Qinghuang Academy, plus the Zhao family's population, 50,000 to 60,000 people need to eat and drink, and our savings cannot last long. The key is that there are still so many troops in need of supplies, and the seriousness of the consequences is unimaginable." Zhao Zhenduo

His face became increasingly ugly.

"Master Hou, I know all what you said. Now we have expert guidance. They have grasped our vital point and given us a fatal blow."

."

"Master Cai, is there any good way?"

"Not yet. We haven't found out who did it yet. We just found out that there is still a process to crack down on them. At the same time, we must resume store operations as soon as possible without cutting off the lifeblood." Cai Bin continued.

"This is a chain of links, and the links are connected. Now that the key link is broken, it is difficult to connect it as a whole. It is impossible to proceed to the next step without finding out the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhao Zhenduo shook his head.

"I know. I have already sent a letter to the emperor, and I estimate that he will receive it in the next two days. Let's see if he has any other good ideas. Now let's work together to reverse this unfavorable situation." Cai Bin said with a bitter smile.

The Zhao family activated their vast information network to collect relevant information, the Wu family also activated the information channels they had been operating for many years, and the secret guard's information channels were also fully activated. In the past few days, there was still no news. Even Cai Bin felt incredible.

How could there be no clues to investigate?

"Who did this? It's so frustrating." Liang Haichuan was very excited after hearing the news. He was really happy to see the Zhao family being so passive.

"You don't want to live anymore?" Seeing Liang Haichuan's complacent look, Yan Xue shouted at him angrily.

"Madam, isn't this happy thing worth celebrating?" Liang Haichuan was a little confused.

"You are crazy, do you know what you are talking about? If anyone knows your attitude, as long as they tell the Zhao family and the emperor, they will be exterminated." Yan Xue said angrily.

"Is it that serious, madam?" Liang Haichuan still disagreed.

"It's even more serious than this. You don't understand the meaning and consequences of this matter. This is not a simple vendetta and revenge, it will hurt the foundation of the Zhao family."

"Isn't it a good thing to hurt the Zhao family? We should be more happy."

"You are simply a pig-headed person. This is a time of war. It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhao family provides almost 30% of the food and military pay. Injuring the Zhao family is equivalent to shaking the foundation of the Canglang Empire. Can the emperor spare it?

If this matter gets serious, no one knows what will happen next." Yan Xue shook her head and said.

"So that's it, Madam has a profound view." Liang Haichuan suddenly realized.

"Remember what I said, from now on we will accept guests behind closed doors, don't go anywhere, let alone get involved in anything. The civil strife in the Canglang Empire has begun, and we cannot get involved in this matter."

"Don't worry, madam, I will never cause trouble." Liang Haichuan promised again and again.

"Who came up with this idea? Who did this? They have really high IQs. They immediately grasped the lifeline of the Zhao family. The Zhao family was in trouble this time. Zhao Fei, I want to see you.

How to break this situation." After Liang Haichuan went out, Yan Xue said to herself, her eyes showing viciousness.

Zhao Fei, who is far away in Yunwu Mountain, does not know about this. In addition to practicing every day, he is refining alchemy.

He has been able to refine the Divine Realm Pill for a long time, but he seldom refines it. This is because the Divine Realm Pill is particularly difficult to refine and takes a long time. He does not have so much time to waste, and if he has time to refine the pill, it is better to practice.

But now he has to refine the elixir because he was attracted by the elixir recipe of the Shengyang Mountain people. This elixir recipe of the Shengyang Mountain people is not comparable to the divine realm elixir. Once it is successfully refined, its efficacy will far exceed that of the divine realm elixir.

Dan.

"Brother Zhao, haven't you researched it yet?" Yiyi asked sitting next to Zhao Fei.

"No, I failed three times today." Zhao Fei said with a bitter smile.

"It's okay. Hard work pays off. As long as you persist to the end, you will definitely succeed. Brother Zhao, I'm optimistic about you. Come on." Yiyi clenched her little fists to encourage Zhao Fei.
