#408 - Chapter 408 Moving
The Red Lotus cult rebels were about to attack any day now.
At this time, Cheng Feng, with his family in tow, naturally wouldn't delay.
He gradually recalled the intelligence network information he had already spread out.
Cheng Feng had a new level of understanding regarding the Red Lotus cult's affairs.
As everyone knows, it started with natural disasters and man-made calamities, the tragic plight of people being displaced.
Some benevolent martial arts experts couldn't bear to see the people suffer.
Investigating the internal causes and seeking out external effects,
they led a group of miserable people to create the Red Lotus cult and directly rebelled, so the story goes.
Cheng Feng sneered at this.
From Cheng Feng's third-person perspective, that must be some smoke screen from the Red Lotus cult's higher-ups.
Benevolent?
Haven't you seen how many wealthy families carefully select and buy slaves?
The more chaotic the world, the cheaper the slaves become.
The strong always get stronger.
one can imagine the depth of its foundation.
A random group of rebels can just revolt?
Cheng Feng didn't believe it. Looking at the true and false intelligence information he had collected,
he determined that the truth must not be something he could easily see.
"Therefore, of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best."
Cheng Feng calculated in his heart, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
In this turbulent time, preserving strength is the only way to plan for a future rise.
His family, old and young, were all his concerns; he couldn't let them get caught up in this meaningless conflict.
On the contrary, the Hong Sect, this gang tool for gathering people, power, and profit, wasn't yet the time for Cheng Feng to truly let go.
In the evening, after having dinner with his family,
Cheng Feng directly instructed his concubines in the mansion in a low voice: "The matter I told you about before is no small matter. We need to set off immediately and stay away from this place of trouble.
You all go and prepare quickly, making sure everything is ready before midnight tonight."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned solemn, but they also understood that this matter couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation.
Chun Yu was a little reluctant: "Master, are we really just leaving like this?
Are we just abandoning such a big house?"
The three maid sisters who had a good relationship with Chun Yu,
Xia He, Qiu Yue, and Dong Mei, were also a little reluctant.
They had just finished giving birth to children and consolidated their position in the Cheng family.
They hadn't even had time to enjoy it.
To leave as soon as he said so, it was really a little uncomfortable.
Upon hearing these words, Cheng Feng's originally gentle face gradually turned frosty.
"Xiao Yu, are you questioning Master's decision?"
Seeing Cheng Feng's displeased expression, Chun Yu immediately stood up tremblingly and said obediently: "Xiao Yu was being nosy. I hope Master will punish me."
She still knew what her master was like.
Sure enough, Cheng Feng, given a step down by his woman, didn't say much more.
He just said lightly: "Alright, it's something that was decided long ago, why say more? Go and prepare!"
The women stood up and gave a blessing, saying: "Yes, Master."
They quickly took action, some packing valuables, some arranging carriages, everything was proceeding in a tight and orderly manner.
In fact, Cai'er had already arranged everything properly.
What everyone had to do and what to take had already been assigned to each individual.
Everyone knew what they should do.
As night fell, Cheng Feng stood in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky, his heart filled with mixed feelings. This Great Zhou Dynasty, seemingly prosperous, was actually full of undercurrents,
and the rise of the Red Lotus cult was just the tip of the iceberg.
Although he had martial arts skills, in such a chaotic world, he was just a drop in the ocean.
What's more, there were the legendary cultivators?
"Master, are we really leaving?" A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts. It was his concubine, Hong Niang, her eyes full of reluctance and doubt.
Cheng Feng turned around and gently stroked Hong Niang's head and face, saying: "Yes, we need to recuperate in another place for a while."
Hong Niang gently hugged Cheng Feng's waist, as if trying to melt herself into Cheng Feng's body.
Cheng Feng also looked at his woman with affection.
The women who could give birth had all given birth.
Now, only Hong Niang hadn't made any progress, and Cheng Feng could understand Hong Niang's situation.
"However, it's coming soon."
Cheng Feng thought to himself.
On a dark and windy night, Cheng Feng's figure appeared particularly aloof under the city gate. He was as敏锐敏锐 as a leopard, constantly vigilant about the movements around him, ensuring that nothing went wrong.
As the city gate slowly opened, a carefully planned evacuation operation quietly unfolded.
The first batch to evacuate were Cheng Feng's parents and children, who were already sound asleep, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Cheng Feng had specially prepared sleep-aid herbal incense for them, ensuring that they could be quiet and safe during the evacuation process.
With the creaking sound of the city gate opening, several carriages quietly left into the night, like ghosts in the night, silent and invisible.
The second batch to evacuate were Cheng Feng's concubines. Accompanied by maids, they got into the carriages one by one and left the city gate.
Although these concubines were full of reluctance, they knew that Cheng Feng's decision was for the safety of the entire family, so they chose to obey silently.
Under Cheng Feng's careful arrangements, each of them carried enough valuables and clothing for emergencies.
The third batch to evacuate were the male and female servants carefully selected by Cheng Feng. Not only were they outstanding in aptitude, but they were also loyal to Cheng Feng.
During the evacuation process, they would be responsible for protecting the safety of the family members, ensuring that they could reach their destination smoothly.
As the last batch of people left, the city gate slowly closed again, as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Feng already had a clear plan in his mind to go to Blackwood Prefecture, not only for his own development but also for the future of the entire Cheng family.
With the two hundred thousand taels of silver provided by his "future father-in-law" as backing, he was full of confidence in the future.
Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Cheng Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He was thinking about the expansion of power and the preparation of methods after arriving at Blackwood Prefecture, as well as how to ensure that every step was steady and strong, and... low-key.
In order to avoid accidents, Cheng Feng had already instructed everyone to try not to get off the carriage and rest in the carriage, in order to reduce contact with the outside world.
This cautious attitude made the entire evacuation operation proceed exceptionally smoothly.
Although the space of the Solar Ship was large enough for him alone, it was far from enough for the entire Cheng mansion.
Even if it was transported in batches, it could only take away part of the Cheng mansion's property and personnel.
Cheng Feng had storage rings for property.
But in terms of personnel, the space of the Solar Ship was still stretched thin.
Therefore, he had to make a difficult choice, temporarily leaving some relatively less important personnel and items behind.
Even Wang Tianshan's own mentor, as well as his two brothers, the eldest and the third, Cheng Feng had to temporarily put them in a secondary order.
This decision was not out of ruthlessness, but for the sake of the overall situation. Cheng Feng believed that as long as they could safely arrive at Blackwood Prefecture and gain a firm foothold, there would definitely be a chance to bring these people over in the future.
The selected flat area in the mountainside once again welcomed guests.
In the darkness, a giant steel beast lurked silently.
Only the faint light revealed in the gap after the door was opened could make people notice it.
Cheng Feng directly took charge of the arrangement.
He brought the sleeping two elders, children, and some concubines into the Solar Ship.
A group of people in ancient costumes sitting on a hyper-modern flying car were naturally curious and looked around.
Bright lights,
spotless walls that could be used as mirrors,
all of them were attracting everyone.
Seeing everyone's hesitant appearance,
Cheng Feng didn't have time to explain so much, and said in a low voice: "Shh, everyone don't say anything about what you see, we'll talk about any questions later.
Now, go up.
We're about to set off."
After everyone sat down with their children,
Cheng Feng whispered: "Solar Ship, lights off, let's go."
