After Lu Xunhuan's dinner was over, all the one hundred wealthy people had subscribed.

Lu Xunhuan did a rough calculation and found that on average, each person subscribed for 500,000 taels of silver, and 100 people subscribed for a total of 50 million taels of silver.

He first registered himself and asked everyone to wait for notification and bring the silver notes to the yamen to receive the special badge.

The funding problem was solved and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming out of the restaurant, he took Yun Zhongzi straight to the weapon refining workshop and asked the workshop to make another 500 waist badges.

Lu Xunhuan stated his requirements and asked the weapon refining workshop to process them quickly.

Yun Zhongzi simply took out his weapon, and every time someone fired a gun, he would add his own specially made runes on it.

The two of them watched the forging of the weapon with their own eyes in the weapon refining workshop, which took several hours.

At dusk, the lights in the weapon forging workshop were lit, and a yamen runner hurried over.

"Report, sir, Lang Tongzhi has informed everyone that he is looking for you in the city."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The yamen runner said, "A few people have come from Yangshan County. They appear to be old acquaintances of Lang Tongzhi. They are here to see you and are waiting at the yamen."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

He turned to Yun Zhongzi and said, "Great Elder, I'm going back to the yamen to meet some acquaintances. You stay here and get some more."

Yun Zhongzi stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Xun Huan said, "The badges need to be made as soon as possible. The treasury is waiting for the rice to be cooked. It's okay. I'll be there for a while."

Leaving Yun Zhongzi in the weapon refining workshop, he left in a hurry.

The carriage hurried along the street, heading towards the provincial government office.

But when he was about two miles away from the weapon refining workshop and about three miles away from the provincial government office, a man suddenly appeared from the side of the street and blocked his way.

The horse neighed loudly and the carriage stopped.

Lu Xunhuan took a look at the lights on both sides of the street and couldn't help but frown.

The one who stopped the carriage in front was Elder Yun from the Qingfeng Sect of Zhou State.

That Elder Yun and this Elder Yun are naturally two completely different people, except that they both have the surname Yun.

After Elder Yun stopped the carriage, he said, "Boy, get off."

Lu Xun Huan lifted the curtain and asked, "Who are you, old man? What can I do for you?"

Elder Yun also frowned, took a few steps forward, and looked at Lu Xunhuan carefully again: "Yes, it's you. Why are you pretending not to know me? Come down and have a chat, Lord of the Prefecture."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Old man, if you have anything to say, please go to the yamen and tell me. I have something else to do back there."

Seeing that he was still pretending not to know him, Elder Yun waved.

Behind the carriage, another person came over. It was Elder Zhu from the Qingfeng Sect.

He walked forward and looked at Lu Xunhuan: "You guy, Lu Suifeng, come down, we have something to talk to you about."

Lu Xunhuan cursed inwardly what bad luck he had.

During the time that Yun Zhongzi protected him, everything had been peaceful and no one had caused any trouble.

Why did trouble arise when Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was not around?

It must be that these two people have been here for some time and have been following and observing secretly. When Yun Zhongzi was not with him tonight, the two finally showed up.

Naturally, Lu Xunhuan had to pretend to the end. He could not admit that he was Lu Xunhuan.

He said, "You two, if you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly. As long as I, Lu Suifeng, can solve it, I will do my best to help you solve it."

Elder Zhu said, "Okay, then let me ask you, how many members does Wang Tingsi have, and where are they now?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "What is Wang Tingsi, you two? I think you have recognized the wrong person."

Beside him, Elder Yun said firmly, "It's impossible to recognize the wrong person. Lu Xunhuan, you are really capable of making trouble. You made trouble over there and now you make trouble here. You are quite capable. Everyone still trusts you."

He shook his head. "Where's that invincible army you trained over there? It's almost been wiped out, right?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "You two, you really have the wrong person. I don't even know what you are talking about. Could you please move aside? I have something to go back to the government office."

Elder Yun stroked his beard and said, "You're really good at pretending. How about this, Lu Xunhuan? Tell me the 100% successful method for breaking through from the Qin Xin Realm to the Teng Yun Realm. I will let you go to the government office and not disturb you tonight."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Could it be that I met two crazy people today?"

Elder Yun's eyes revealed serious dissatisfaction: "Lu Xunhuan, you don't want to accept my toast, so you have to drink the penalty wine, right?"

He reached out and grabbed Lu Xunhuan's collar: "Once you fall into this elder's hands, you will have no choice."

He exerted force and pulled Lu Xunhuan off the carriage, then said to Elder Zhu, "Let's go."

The two of them used their magical powers and flew through the city with Lu Xunhuan.

Many people heard the conversation between the few people just now.

Someone shouted, "Help! A thief has kidnapped Lord Lu."

The yamen runner who had come to inform Lu Xunhuan earlier was in a panic for a moment, then hurriedly untied the horse from the carriage. He didn't mind the saddle being hurt, and rode the horse back quickly to the weapon refining workshop to inform Yun Zhongzi.

The two men grabbed Lu Xunhuan and ran away at lightning speed. After a while, they went out of the north gate and entered a small forest.

Elder Yun asked Elder Zhu to light a torch, then took out a rope and tied Lu Xunhuan to a tree.

He drew out his immortal sword and waved it in front of Lu Xunhuan: "My Qingfeng Sect, as the largest sect in Zhou Kingdom, should give you enough respect, right? But how many disciples of Feixian Sect have you helped, and how many disciples of Qingfeng Sect have you helped?"

"I, Qingfeng Sect disciple Qingdai, am willing to be your maidservant and work like a slave for you. How can you treat my Qingfeng Sect like this?"

Lu Xun Huan struggled against the ropes around him. "Hey, old man, what are you talking about? I'm sorry, I don't understand a word you say."

He looked at Elder Zhu and said, "Old man, your companion has recognized the wrong person."

Elder Zhu said calmly, "Really? If you weren't Lu Xunhuan, but Lu Suifeng..."

He slowly drew his sword from its sheath: "He is a disciple of the sage of the Southern Liang Kingdom. In our Upper Zhou Kingdom, what reason do we have to let him live?"

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Do you understand what I'm saying? If you are him, then answer my senior brother honestly. If you are not him, I'm sorry, but destroying you is in the best interests of the Zhou Kingdom."

Elder Yun took over the conversation and said, "Let me repeat, two things. First, how many members does the Wangting Division have, and where are they now? Second, what is the 100% successful method for Qin Xin Realm to break through to Tengyun Realm?"

Lu Xun Huan opened his mouth and said nonsense: "The Wang Ting Division has tens of thousands of members all over the world. The method of breaking through the Qin Xin realm to the Tengyun realm is 100% successful..."

Elder Zhu interrupted him, "Why are you deliberately spouting nonsense? It's said that the Princess established the Royal Court Division only a few years ago, and its membership is limited to people from the Zhou Kingdom. How can it be spread all over the world?"

Elder Yun interrupted, "Don't worry about that. Let's ask him slowly. Let him talk about the breakthrough first."

He said to Lu Xunhuan, "Tell me, what method is it?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Cleansing the tendons and marrow."

Elder Yun frowned: "What, cleansing the tendons and marrow?"

He shook his head and said, "You're talking nonsense again, kid. When you helped everyone, did you help them cleanse their tendons and marrow? Not at all."

He raised his sword and chopped it down on the tree trunk. "Lu Xunhuan, what Junior Brother Zhu said just now makes sense. If you were Lu Xunhuan, you would still be of some value to us, and we wouldn't kill you so easily. But if you weren't Lu Xunhuan, there's no point in nagging you. We'd just kill you."

He asked, "Are you still pretending?"

Lu Xun Huan rolled his eyes: "Ouch, my head hurts."

He pretended to be in great pain, struggling hard, frowning and gritting his teeth.

Next to him, Elder Zhu asked, "Could it be that he was severely injured and doesn't remember the past?"

Elder Yun said, "I've dealt with him quite a lot, so I know him better than you do. This guy is very cunning, so don't be fooled. He's still pretending to be nice to us."

After a pause, he continued, "Let's take him away, bring him back to Qingfeng Sect, lock him up, and we'll slowly wear him down. If he never speaks, he'll never come out again."

Elder Zhu shook his head and said, "No, the prince is anxious to know who the remaining members of the Wang Ting Division are. He wants to capture them all. If you capture him and bring him to the Qingfeng Sect and he still refuses to tell you, how can you use him to lure the members of the Wang Ting Division out?"

Elder Yun said impatiently, "But this kid is playing dumb with us. What do you think we should do?"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of dead branches being trampled and broken outside the grove.

He quickly turned around with his sword in hand and shouted, "Who?"
