The temporary camp was densely packed with tents, and dirty water flowed through the trenches.
Blacksmiths poured blocks of iron into the melting furnace, transferring the molten iron into molds.
Xu Yuelong noticed Liang Qu and, after giving a few instructions to Yu Dayi, waved his hand.
Liang Qu had no time to set down his things and asked Lu Xinqing to wait outside while he followed Xu Yuelong into the main tent.
Xu Yuelong sat behind the desk, visibly exhausted, perhaps due to his awareness of Cheng Chong's actions.
Ke Wenbin had arrived yesterday, but Liang Qu was a day slower. He had taken a boat alone to visit other Relief Points, dispersing the water epidemic, and only arrived at Lord Qiu's Dyke today.
Xu Yuelong had also spent a full day coming to terms with reality. The merits and advantages of the previous cleanup of the Fish Gang had gone up in smoke, leaving him in debt up to his ears.
Looking back, he realized that Wei Lin had been lucky.
