Chapter 854 832: Jade Trade Fair
Bang!
With a loud noise, the assassin immediately fainted.
With a snap, the lights turned on, and at that moment, the guards of the Lu Family were also alerted and ran towards them.
At this point, the assassins knew they were exposed and wanted to retreat.
"Want to leave? Better all stay here."
Ren Feng said calmly, raising his hands, and the terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi directly pressed towards them, making several of them feel as if they were hit hard, and they were smashed backward.
Spurt!
An assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, and another leapt towards the window, but with a wave of Ren Feng's hand, his whole body was forcibly pulled back.
In front of Ren Feng in the spiritual realm, they couldn't resist, and they didn't even have the ability to commit suicide.
In just a moment, the remaining six were also beaten to the point of incapacity to resist, and at that time, others arrived as well.
"What happened?"
Lu Ruiyang was the first to arrive, shocked upon seeing the scene.
"This, what's going on?"
"There were assassins," Ren Feng said calmly, "I've already knocked them out."
Lu Ruiyang still looked shocked: "The Kachin Rebel Army, how bold they are!"
"I don't know if they are from the Kachin Rebels, but their abilities don't seem to match, rather like they are from the assassin world," Ren Feng replied.
Lu Ruiyang nodded: "No matter who they are, we'll capture them next and interrogate them properly!"
In a moment, Lu Yucheng, Lu Wangjiang, and other members of the Lu Family also arrived, frowning at the scene.
"We will handle this here, everyone else go back to sleep." Lu Wangjiang ordered.
The juniors dispersed, and several assassins were taken away, while Lu Duo'er stayed beside Ren Feng, eyes full of fear.
Lu Wangjiang was instructing people to strengthen security, and Ren Feng said calmly, "Don't worry, with me here, Uncle won't get hurt."
Lu Ruiyang looked at Ren Feng and said with a smile, "Thank you, little brother."
After this incident, the others didn't feel like sleeping anymore. Even though they were reassured by Ren Feng, Zhao Manrou went directly to sleep in Lu Xingye's room.
The next morning, Lu Duo'er came to call Ren Feng for breakfast.
"Feng, did you rest well last night?"
"Yes, it was quite good." Ren Feng replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your dad will be fine. I'll write a prescription to help with the recovery later."
"Okay."
Ren Feng followed Lu Duo'er to the dining room, where Lu Ruiyang and others were already seated.
"Little brother, come, take a seat," Lu Ruiyang said warmly.
Ren Feng sat beside them, and Zhao Manrou also spoke up, "Really, thank you this time. If it weren't for you, something bad might have happened."
"Mom, Feng is already your son-in-law." Lu Duo'er said from the side.
Zhao Manrou laughed, "Yes, yes, yes."
Lu Yucheng chuckled, "Duo'er, since Third Uncle's condition isn't dangerous, would you like to go with Second Uncle to see the stone gambling festival today?"
"Of course!" Lu Duo'er's eyes lit up.
"This time, the stone gambling festival location is at Kechakhan Town, not domestically, but on the border of Laos and our Tianming City. This time, merchants from other countries are coming, so it might be a bit dangerous."
"No worries, with Feng by my side, I'm not scared."
Lu Yucheng smiled and looked at Ren Feng: "It seems little brother and Duo'er are indeed a close pair."
Lu Duo'er blushed, sitting beside Ren Feng, her cheeks rosy but her eyes sparkling.
Ren Feng gave a small smile.
After breakfast, Lu Yucheng led them straight to Kechakhan Town.
Crossing the border, accompanied by a group of Lu Family members and guards, Ren Feng glanced far ahead, seeing the road without asphalt, somewhat dusty and muddy, with surroundings akin to mountain areas.
"Little brother, don't be fooled by how backward this looks. In fact, it hides a lot of wealth." Lu Yucheng said with a smile, observing Ren Feng's examination of the surroundings.
"Most of our Lu Family's wealth comes from these mountains; the jade inside is the reason for our prosperity."
Ren Feng nodded: "Just like oil hidden in the desert."
"Exactly, this area is rich in jade, just like oil in the desert; it's a treasure trove." Lu Yucheng said, "Although there's frequent unrest here, many areas haven't been mined yet. If mining were possible, Lu Family's prosperity could certainly last another five hundred years."
Ren Feng glanced around casually and said, "Lu Family's influence isn't quite that extensive yet?"
"No," Lu Yucheng shook his head, "Yangjin, Laos, Vietnam, these three countries have frequent internal conflicts, so we can only liaise with some forces to mine around border mountains."
"What kind of force is the Kachin Rebel Army?"
"A rebel group from Yangjin Country, its development has been rapid recently, and its leader, Kachin Lie, is very powerful, having annexed dozens of smaller forces in a short time. It's on the verge of expanding and poses a significant threat to our country's border security. Moreover, it spans across Laos and Vietnam, extremely terrifying."
"Additionally, the Kachin Rebel Army behaves arrogantly, with no regard for agreements. Previously agreed contracts can be easily torn up, and our Lu Family and them are considered mortal enemies." Lu Yucheng sighed.
"Second Uncle, I remember the annual jade trade fair used to be held domestically, right?"
"This was a new strategy thought up by your dad. Because it's difficult for our Lu Family to extend our reach into those foreign countries, we let locals develop the mines and then sell to us, so shifting the trade fair location abroad is more convenient for them." Lu Yucheng praised, "Your dad actually has a very high business acumen."
The group entered Kechakhan Town, where merchants were setting up stalls everywhere, selling raw stones and unprocessed jade.
Surrounding the town, the Lu Family deployed many guards, and inside the town, a lot of raw materials from the Lu Family were present.
Due to the high traffic, the streets seemed narrow, with most faces being Huaxia merchants.
In the central area of the small town, there stood a large wooden building with three floors, resembling Qing Dynasty architecture, with a plaque above that read "Lu Family Jade Pavilion."
This was the venue for this jade trade fair.
Led by Lu Yucheng, the group entered, and Ren Feng glanced around, noticing it was several times more bustling than outside.
Piles of jade were displayed everywhere, even on the second floor, and every place had people from the Lu Family responsible for guarding and trading. They were the jade experts of the Lu Family.
However, aside from the Lu Family, there were other forces selling raw jade materials here as well.
