Chapter 331 The Fourth Incident, Bat Island
It's early morning again, and the warm sunshine shines on the snow, bringing a golden color, making people feel happy.
What makes people feel even more pleasant is the large number of spoils piled up in the yard. Although they have been sealed with boxes, dozens of large boxes built up high still give people a shocking effect.
Ah Fei, Ximen Rou, Wei Yan and the others came back in the middle of the night last night. When the carriage slowly drove into the mansion, there were still many night-driving tourists on the street who saw it.
Although these tourists from the world are quite curious, no one dares to make these boxes.
Not only because A Fei and dozens of crossbowmen were escorting in front, but also because Chu Shuai, the leader of the Young Marshal's Army, was in this mansion.
Since Shuai Chu is here, it is not surprising that the Young Marshal's Army transports anything here.
Chu Zheng opened his eyes from the night of hanging up and checked the results of his cultivation. It would probably take some time for him to practice the advanced mind.
After closing the cultivation interface, Chu Zheng suddenly noticed that Yang Qing was guarding the door.
After pushing the door out, Yang Qing immediately respectfully reported the return of A Fei and others.
After taking the long list of seizures, Chu Zheng browsed it from beginning to end and was immediately shocked by Xiaoyao Hou's wealth.
Although Xiaoyao Hou cannot be called rich and can match a country, he is indeed a real king of wealthy people. The value of dozens of boxes of jewelry is estimated to be several million taels of silver.
Unfortunately, the real gold and silver inside are only worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The most are antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, etc., which are not easy to sell in this chaotic world. It is difficult to sell in such a large batch of products to satisfy the price.
Chu Zheng pondered for a moment and handed over the list back to Yang Qing.
"Mr. Yang, you six of you follow me for the longest time. Each of them will receive twenty gold ingots, and each of them will choose something you like from it. The other fifty crossbowmen brothers who participated in this operation will each have ten gold ingots. The brothers who have come to help these days are fifty taels of silver. A Fei... Well, A Fei doesn't need it anymore. If Ximen Rou says, you can see what he likes, and let him pick a few from it. After the other sealing boxes are registered and registered, I will sign it. The unified transportation of the Liang will be handed over to the Grand Manager Xuanyong and will be included in the warehouse."
Yang Qing took the order gratefully and left. Soon, a series of cheers from the guards and soldiers and shouts of "Long live Chu Shuai" came from outside.
Chu Zheng sat at the table, poured himself a glass of wine and savored it slowly.
To be honest, it is fake to say that he is not moved when he sees this large number of treasures, but he owes too much the Young Marshal's Army, especially now that he has long been closely related to the Young Marshal's Army and is difficult to distinguish between each other.
The most important thing is that the young commander is short of money now.
The three commanders of the Young Marshals' Army were all from the bottom of society, so it was naturally impossible to burn, kill, loot the people and collect levies like other rebels.
At present, the main source of wealth for the Young Marshal's Army comes from the capture of Li Zitong, Xu Yuanlang and the various expeditions to fight bandits. Their original gains were quite good, but Wubiao encountered this year's heavy snow disaster, and the people were living in poverty. The Young Marshal's Army wanted to rescue the victims, which cost a lot.
Moreover, the Young Marshal's army is expanding very quickly and is in urgent need of money everywhere. Especially with the unification of Suizhou, while preparing for war, countless poor people need resettlement and relief to stabilize the hearts of the people. They also need to spend money on light labor and taxes within a few years to promote production and restore people's livelihood.
The emptiness of the national treasury has become the biggest problem for the Young Marshals at present. Therefore, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had to risk their infiltration into Chang'an and secretly set up Yang Gong's treasure house.
Under such a situation, how could Chu Zheng embezzle this treasure that was extremely useful to the Young Marshal's Army?
However, it is estimated that Xiaoyaohou's batch of treasures will last for about a year at most.
Chu Zheng couldn't help but think about it. He heard that the Money Gang is also very rich, but unfortunately he didn't know where the main hall was. He didn't know if Luo Qifei, who was in charge of the intelligence in the Young Marshal's army, could find out. It would be good to come to the door to get a fuck, but he was afraid that the wealth would be scattered by the gang members when the Money Gang collapsed.
Chu Zheng was just thinking about it, but the door of the room was opened in a faint manner. The tall girl in a short skirt walked in with anger.
The only one who could enter and exit his room without any scruples was Miss Qin Er who was so free in the entire mansion.
Feeling the heat emitted by Chu Zheng's body, Qin Ruyun immediately breathed comfortably, took off her cloak and sat next to Chu Zheng.
"Chu Shuai, you were so angry that you were so arrogant yesterday."
Smelling the familiar and pleasant smell of the girl, Chu Zheng glanced at Qin Ruyun, and saw that she was glancing at her with a smile. When she saw her expression, it would not be a good thing.
He couldn't help but touch his forehead and said, "Are you there too? Or have you heard some rumors?"
After cleaning up Wang Xiaofeng and others yesterday, Chu Zheng returned to the house and did not care about the follow-up of the incident. He originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Shui Sheng today, but looking at Qin Ruyun's expression, it seemed that something was going on.
"You won't know that your every move has attracted the attention of the entire world now, right? Yesterday, you were angry and heroic deeds for beauty have spread all over the country. I don't know how many people like you. Oh, I heard that countless girls in the boudoir regard you as idols and lovers in their dreams. They think that if you want to get married, you have to marry a great hero who is so upright, gentle and domineering, and willing to be enemies with the people in the world for your beloved. Congratulations to Chu Shuai, you have truly become the idol of thousands of girls."
Chu Zheng was stunned: "Wait... Why did you make a furious person for the beauty? Why do you make an enemy of the world for the sake of your beloved?"
"You don't know that three people in the world become tigers. Besides, there were so many people present yesterday. I saw you beat Wang Xiaofeng and others to death or injury in order to vent your anger on Shui Sheng's girl. And then openly claimed that anyone who said bad things about Shui Sheng was your enemy. Isn't it normal to have such rumors?"
"...I just sympathize with Miss Water and hold on to her experience."
Qin Ruyun said leisurely: "Don't explain to me, you should think carefully about how to explain to Xianger. This matter will probably be spread to Xiangcheng within two days."
Chu Zheng rubbed his temples with a headache: "...I will write to her later. Is the fourth thing refreshed?"
"Refreshed." Speaking of serious matters, Qin Ruyun no longer mocked Chu Zheng. She took out the jade token and handed it over.
Sure enough, the above event has been updated.
"It is rumored that there is a mysterious and mysterious Bat Island on the sea, which sells various rare secrets in the world, even the lives of powerful people and famous heroes in the world. There seems to be some amazing conspiracy. The thief Chu Liuxiang has discovered some of the inside stories and is about to sneak into Bat Island to investigate. Please help Chu Liuxiang, find out the inside stories of Bat Island, and destroy the conspiracy of Bat Island to harm the world."
Bat Island!
It was indeed something Chu Liuxiang asked to do himself!
Chu Zheng stood up suddenly, and his original little depression was wiped out.
"What? This happened to be something Chu Liuxiang asked you to help with?"
"Yes. It seems that I still have to be grateful for my blessings. If it weren't for the high blessings, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
Qin Ruyun glanced at him and didn't say anything. Of course she knew that the fourth thing was so coincidental, and it was no longer a blessing. Chu Zheng's own wishes and expectations accounted for more than half of them.
Given his current profound influence on the world, it is not difficult to influence the content of this incident through his subconscious mind.
However, Qin Ruyun did not intend to tell Chu Zheng the truth.
The reason why this world formed by the fusion of human subconscious minds is real because Chu Zheng's subconscious mind believes that it is real. Once Chu Zheng forces the subjective consciousness to be in it, it will easily cause unpredictable consequences.
This is the world that Xianger and the others will live in the future. Qin Ruyun cannot take risks and cannot let this increasingly real world collapse due to unpredictable changes.
After confirming the fourth thing was related to Chu Liuxiang, Chu Zheng immediately agreed with Chu Liuxiang through a letter from Feige to make a meeting place, and then began to arrange people to prepare ships and various possible things.
Before dawn the next day, the group quietly left Qingshi Town, arrived at the dock of Jiangcheng by carriage, boarded a large ship hired by Yang Qing, walked down the Yangtze River, and headed straight to the destination Shaocheng, Zhejiang Province.
A Fei naturally followed Chu Zheng, and Ximen Rou didn't mention anything about leaving. He took nothing from Xiaoyao Hou's treasure. According to him, he was not interested in these gold, silver and jewelry. What he pursued was continuous breakthroughs in martial arts. The experience he had learned these days had to be slowly digested, and it was time to communicate with Brother Chu at any time.
In addition to A Fei and Ximen Rou, Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng also set out together. During the day, Cheng Lingsu taught Chu Zheng to learn medical skills, and Chu Zheng taught her to practice the art of immortality.
Cheng Lingsu has a very talented person in practicing the Eternal Life Art, and has Chu Zheng carefully guided him step by step. In just a few days, his body has obviously recovered a lot. At least there is a little blood on his originally pale face, which makes Chu Zheng feel much more relieved.
There are six guards arranged in daily life. Chu Zheng was relaxed and freehand when he went out. Occasionally, some people were seasick, and Cheng Lingsu, a master of the great country, solved the problem with a dose of medicine, which made Chu Zheng realize again how necessary it is to have a medical skill around him and a magical method.
The only thing I was puzzled about was that Shui Sheng seemed to be hiding from him.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but touch his nose. Could it be that she heard some rumors that she thought she liked her and wanted to pursue her, but she was embarrassed to refuse and avoided her?
If this is true, it would be fine. I guess I had misunderstood that Shui Sheng had a good impression of him.
After a long time, the boat was approaching dusk. Chu Zheng brought a padded rattan chair on the bow, squinting his eyes lazily. The sunset, the wind of the river, the birds, the sunset, the sunset, the sunset, how comfortable it is.
According to Qin Ruyun, the later events of this task are more difficult. In the third thing, he even fought fiercely for two consecutive games, defeating Shangguan Jinhong, Jing Wuming and Xiaoyao Hou were able to complete it. In the fourth thing, he was afraid that the difficulty coefficient would be higher.
I don't know what kind of terrible opponent will be waiting for him.
Therefore, Chu Zheng will not let go of the rare time to take a break and enjoy it.
In the face of the higher level of fierce fighting that may occur next, he must relax as much as possible.
But Chu Zheng soon opened his eyes because he unexpectedly found Shui Sheng walking to him and quietly sat down with his knees.
"Brother Chu." Shui Sheng glanced at him, his beautiful and pure face was all red, was it dyed red by the sunset?
"Ah, it's Miss Shui." Chu Zheng hurriedly sat up. This was the first time Shui Sheng had come to approach him in two days.
Regarding this poor girl who had suffered severe psychological damage, Chu Zheng felt that she had to pay attention to her attitude and must not make her feel that she had any misunderstandings or rejection of her.
Shui Sheng said "um" and lowered her head again, burying her face in the hem of the skirt that was hugging her knees, but judging from her hand holding the corner of the skirt, she was never calm.
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say to her, Chu Zheng waited patiently.
After a while, Shui Sheng finally spoke.
"Brother Chu..." Her voice was very small, and because her face was blocked by the hem of the skirt, her voice was even more vague. She could only see that her little ears were exposed, which seemed to be hot and red.
Chu Zheng was a little confused and had to respond again.
He thought about persuading the girl to stop caring about rumors in the world, but he couldn't find a good entry point for a while.
"Brother Chu." Shui Sheng took a deep breath and finally raised his head.
Chu Zheng found that her pretty face was filled with tears, and was shocked and said quickly: "Miss Water, is anyone bullying you? Tell me, I will beat him up for you!"
Shui Sheng shook his head vigorously and stared at Chu Zheng with tears in his eyes: "Brother Chu, thank you..." This time the voice finally became louder.
"Ah? Oh, you're welcome, that... have you heard any rumors?" Chu Zheng said carefully.
Shui Sheng wiped his tears and said softly: "I'm no longer afraid."
Her voice was still not loud, but Chu Zheng could hear the seriousness and firmness in her tone.
"No matter what others say to me in the future, I will not be afraid anymore." Shui Sheng repeated seriously.
"I only realized now that Li Wenxiu's sister is so powerful. It is really amazing to want to implement her intentions with a strong and firm heart and not be afraid of any rumors."
Shui Sheng's words made Chu Zheng's eyebrows jump. Why does Miss Shui seem to know Li Wenxiu?
"I'm not afraid of other people's eyes and rumors now, but I don't want to be misunderstood by you."
Chu Zheng is getting more and more confused. What have I misunderstood?
"I am just a cousin with Wang Xiaofeng. My father once wanted me to get engaged to him, but I don't know why I can't like him, so I didn't agree."
"I haven't even pulled my hand by him...I...I haven't been touched by any man...or...or..." Speaking of this, Shui Sheng's face was so blushed that it almost spit out smoke. The last two words were almost as small as mosquitoes. In the end, even if Chu Zheng's ears were amazing, he couldn't hear them clearly.
After Shui Sheng said that, she stood up and she wiped her tears: "This is the last time I cry, and I will never cry because of fear again. Thank you, Brother Chu."
She turned around and was about to leave, but finally turned around and left a sentence.
"I will never go anywhere in my life. Wherever Sister Cheng is, I will be there."
After saying that, he ran back into the cabin like the wind.
Chu Zheng was stunned. The meaning of the last sentence seemed to have many interpretations.
Chapter completed!
