Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1128: Chapter 387: The Two Relentless Men, the Xiang Family’s Tragedy and Bashang’s Population, Yuan Cheng Sells the Mystery (5)

Qiu Peng lowered his head in thought for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded, saying with a smile, ”Now that he has lost his Xianyang Level cultivation, the Xiang Family is down to just a few stragglers, this is indeed the only way to enhance his value.”

After speaking, Qiu Peng remembered something and asked Xia Chuan in a low voice, ”Sir, if Cheng Feng manages to develop the Dan Medicine that helps him recover his cultivation, would we really help him with it?”

Hearing this question, Xia Chuan’s brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly thought of something, his brows relaxed, and he smiled, ”That would depend on his subsequent performance with those people from Bashang.”

Upon hearing Xia Chuan’s words, the faces of Qiu Peng and the others immediately lit up with smiles.

”Finally, the matter of Bashang migration can be resolved smoothly!”

Xu Ning let out a sigh of relief; he had been stationed at Bashang since early May and over the past four months, the most troublesome issue had been the population migration.

Just as Xiang Tianyang had guessed, if Great Xia truly wanted to forcibly migrate those over one million people, there were indeed many ways to achieve it. The problem was that Xia Hong had already instructed in advance that everyone must be willing to migrate, thus many methods could not be used.

”Compared to the camps previously annexed by Great Xia, Bashang is indeed different. With a population of over one million, they have always identified as Bashang people for generations, making it extremely difficult to integrate them into Great Xia. Luckily, the Lord had foresight and left a brilliant chess move with Xiang Fuhai...”

Xu Ning couldn’t help but sigh, while Xia Chuan, Qiu Peng, and Lu Yang all nodded in agreement, showing a trace of admiration on their faces.

In retrospect, when Xia Hong saved Xiang Fuhai at Bashang back then, he must have anticipated today’s events. This level of strategy is indeed admirable.

”By the way, Minister, two very interesting people have infiltrated Hongmen, you might be interested...”

Lu Yang suddenly recalled something and spoke with a smile to Xia Chuan.

”Infiltrated Hongmen, who are they?”

Xia Chuan and the others immediately looked at him with curiosity.

”Just as Xu Ning was bringing Xiang Tianyang and the others into the city, a merchant caravan was also entering the city. The caravan was jointly set up by the nine village-level camps of Jinshan Town Yinhe Valley, and the leader of that group is named Han Peng!”

Lu Yang did not directly name the two individuals but first mentioned the caravan entering the city today, emphasizing Han Peng’s name with deliberate emphasis.

”Han Peng from Yinhe Valley...”

Upon hearing Han Peng’s name, Xia Chuan looked slightly puzzled, pondered briefly, then quickly recalled something, his eyes flashing, ”He’s on the list brought back by Han Feng from Jinshan Town in August, right?”

”That’s right, this person, Han Peng, is the leader of Jinshan Village, Yinhe Valley!”

Qiu Peng recognized the name immediately and seeing Xu Ning looking puzzled, he quickly explained, ”Do you remember Han Feng?”

Xu Ning furrowed his brow slightly but quickly recalled, asking, ”The son of Han Jiuli who fled from Hanqiong Camp six years ago?”

Qiu Peng nodded and said, ”Exactly, six years ago he escaped through a secret path, accidentally joining Guyan Village in Jinshan Town, where he even became the Deputy Leader. At the end of last year, when seven towns mobilized people to support Jiangxia, he happened to be among them and ran into Lu Yang.

The Lord’s maid chief steward Han Yue, and deputy Han Shuang, surprisingly, were his two sisters. Last year at the end of the year, he visited Xia City once, and at the beginning of last month, he came with his wife and children to join Great Xia, bringing some intel from Jinshan Town along with a list for us.”

Xu Ning soon understood the ins and outs of Han Feng joining Great Xia, and then he curiously asked, ”What list?”

”An intriguing list, Han Feng spent six years in Guyan Village, and got to know quite a few from surrounding camps, he discovered five people whose cultivation growth was suspiciously abnormal. Besides, they were extremely keen on gathering information about various towns, even being willing to spend heavy sums, Han Feng suspected they had significant problems. Thus, he informed us of their names and situations, and Han Peng, leader of Jinshan Village, was one of them.”

”Outside the Nine Towns?”

Xu Ning lowered his head and pondered for a moment, immediately understanding, and looked up at Xia Chuan with surprise.

Xia Chuan did not respond but showed an obscure look of heaviness in his eyes.

While Lu Yang then spoke again with a smile.

”Certainly, Han Peng will pique your interest, but today I’m not talking about him, but the other two.”

”Don’t keep us in suspense, just tell us the names!”

Seeing Lu Yang appear smug, Xia Chuan couldn’t help but urge him to directly reveal the names.

Lu Yang chuckled and finally spoke.

”Yang Ning, Li Hu!”

Upon hearing these two names, Qiu Peng and Xu Ning immediately stood up.

”It’s those two bastards!”

”They’ve finally arrived, when Lu Yang brought back news a few years ago, I almost couldn’t resist heading to Beishuo to take them down, now they’ve come right to our doorstep!”
