There was a gold mine on Wangya Island. Who was the most anxious?
Of course, it was the Earl of Jin Hai, Tang Lun.
The jealousy in his heart was about to explode.
The Kim family was clearly dying. Why didn't they die all of a sudden?
I lost Jinshan Island, and a gold mine appeared on Wangya Island?
How could this be?
Heaven was blind.
Therefore, Tang Lun sent many spies to Wangya Island secretly.
However, the Xuan Wu Mansion guarded the entire Wangya Island, but all the ships near the island were sunk.
All the fishing boats and merchant ships were sunk.
They killed as many spies as they could find.
This made Tang Lun even more convinced that a gold mine might really have been found on Wangya Island.
He found many craftsmen and warlocks and showed them the gold ingots of the Xuan Wu Mansion.
Of course, he got these gold ingots from the Yinyuan Association.
After these craftsmen and warlocks saw them, they all said that this was definitely gold that had just been extracted from the ground.
Some of the gold ingots were even formed naturally without any traces of processing. This couldn't be faked at all.
Even if the Xuan Wu Mansion wanted to fake it, they didn't have the ability to get such a large amount of gold ingots, unless they found a big gold mine.
Tang Lun was surprised. "Why didn't we find a gold mine on Wangya Island before? The Kim family's mine has been mining there for hundreds of years. "
The warlock said, "Some gold mines are indeed hidden deep. In fact, most of the gold mines in the world are hidden deep. You can't find gold mines deliberately. They are all discovered by accident."
It was true. The big gold mines in the United States and Australia were all discovered by accident, which led to a crazy gold rush.
So Tang Lun coveted it even more.
But he was afraid that this was Shen Lang's plot.
He was really afraid of that little bastard.
"Send someone to investigate again. The gold mine can't be faked. There must be a lot of gold mines and a lot of gold sand." Tang Lun said, "It's a pity that this is the sea. Otherwise, we can check the river downstream and send spies to make sure that there is really a gold mine on Wangya Island."
Crown Prince Tang Yun said, "Father, the defense of the Kim family is too tight. No matter how many scouts we send, they all die. The Kim family is constantly expanding its army and has transported the main force to Wangya Island. "
Tang Lun said, "Where is that bastard Tang Yan? Is there any reply? "
A few days ago, the Earl of Jin Hai, Tang Lun, had sent his eldest son, Tang Zong, to Sword Island to look for Tang Yan. He wanted Tang Zong to personally go to Cliff View Island to investigate.
After all, Tang Yan was a top-notch expert. His chances of sneaking into the Cliff Gazing Island were much higher.
"Big Brother hasn't returned yet, but he should be back soon," Tang Yun said.
An hour later, Tang Zong returned.
"Where's Tang Yan?" Earl Jin Hai questioned.
"He is not coming," Tang Zong said, "He said he is not free."
"Not free?" Tang Lun cried out in alarm, "This unfilial son! We asked him to help with such a big matter of the clan, but he actually said he's not free?"
Tang Zong said, "He also said that it's best not to look for him in the future, so that he doesn't get in the way of practicing his new swordplay."
"Bastard, bastard …" Earl Jin Hai Tang Lun cursed, "I've given birth to this son of mine for nothing. My brain has been spoiled from training with Li Qianqiu."
Following that, Earl Jin Hai shouted, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Xuanwu City!"
… …
That evening, Earl Jin Hai Tang Lun arrived at the Zhang family's old residence and saw the bedridden Governor Zhang Chong.
This Governor was already thin, and now he was even thinner.
Tang Lun couldn't help but look down on him. Just the battle for Jinshan Island had already affected you to this extent. You actually fell sick for a few months, and it looked like you wouldn't get better.
Xuanwu and Jin Zhuo were pretending to be sick. Don't tell me you, Zhang Chong, are also pretending to be sick? That would be meaningless.
"Governor, things have already come to this, and you still have the mood to stay sick in bed?"
Zhang Chong said helplessly, "Things have already come to this, and I'm already at my wit's end. What else can I do?"
His voice seemed to be filled with a bit of complaint.
Tang Lun said, "Shenlang is stirring up trouble like this, but not only did the Kim family not die, they even became more prosperous. Governor, aren't you worried?"
Zhang Chong said, "What's the use of me being worried? The last time I ambushed the Black Tortoise Count's mansion, I had already exhausted all of my intelligence and ability, but I failed. The king also issued a decree to reprimand me, and now I am waiting to be transferred out of Nujiang County. "
Tang Lun sneered, "Shenlang is a vengeful person, I'm afraid that Governor won't be able to leave. When he's free, he'll definitely take revenge on Governor. "
"Wrong." Zhang Chong said, "I don't have any personal grudges with Shenlang, and I haven't even directly targeted Shenlang. Once I'm transferred, the grudges between us will immediately dissolve, and we'll forget each other in the pugilistic world."
Tang Lun said, "Governor, are you willing to lose to Shenlang?"
Zhang Chong said, "I'm not a person who likes to fight. If I lose a game of chess, I'll immediately leave, and I'll never get involved."
This was really Zhang Chong's famous saying, and he had said it many times.
Then Zhang Chong smiled bitterly, "Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Last time when we besieged Xuan Wu Mansion, many nobles still listened to my command, but now who can I order around? If I interfere again, won't I just be asking for trouble? "
After the battle for Jinshan Island failed, the alliance led by Zhang Chong really scattered like birds and beasts.
Because Tang Lun found an even more powerful and ferocious ally, the Pirate King Chou Tianwei.
Last time, Zhang Chong asked Tang Lun to give Jinshan Island to the Kim family, let Jin Zhuo send a large number of people to Jinshan Island, and then let the Pirate King Chou Tianwei send troops.
In the end, Tang Lun was not willing to part with the profits of this year and a half, and directly gave Jinshan Island to Chou Tianwei.
From then on, the alliance between Tang Lun and Zhang Chong could be considered broken.
The Count of Jin Hai Tang Lun sneered, "If Governor has other intentions, I can't say anything. But there is one thing I want to ask Governor. "
Zhang Chong said, "Please speak."
Tang Lun said, "Do you think that there is a gold mine on Wangya Island, is this true or false?"
Zhang Chong frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's hard to say."
Tang Lun said, "What is hard to say?"
Zhang Chong said, "It's really too coincidental. Shenlang has always been crafty, and people can't figure out his background at all."
Tang Lun said, "If not for the discovery of a large-scale gold mine, how could Xuan Wu Mansion produce 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins in such a short time? This doesn't make sense. "
Zhang Chong said, "This really can't be explained, or maybe Shenlang did a huge business with someone else, for example with the Heavenly Law Association?"
The Count of Jin Hai Tang Lun sneered, "What business can make 800,000 gold coins in one go? Governor, can you teach me? "
Zhang Chong spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know what business could make so much money in one go.
Tang Lun said, "The Chi Clan is a spice king, and their wealth can rival a country, but they only make a dozen gold coins a year. Xu Guangyun almost monopolizes the silk business in Tiannan Province, and he only makes a few tens of thousands of gold coins a year. In this world, other than crazily plundering like the Pirate King Chou Tianwei, there is no other business that can make so much money. "
Zhang Chong said, "Whether there is a gold mine on Wangya Island or not, we can just send someone to find out."
Tang Lun said, "The Xuan Wu Mansion is heavily guarded, and anyone who gets close to Wangya Island is killed. There is no way to get close. Moreover, the Kim family is frantically recruiting soldiers, and the main force of their private army is constantly being transferred to Wangya Island, and they are using a high price to recruit many civilian workers to go to Wangya Island. They are building a city. "
Zhang Chong said, "If there is really a gold mine on Wangya Island, then this is the time when the Kim family is at their weakest. When they finish expanding their army and building a city on the island, it will be difficult to attack Wangya Island."
Tang Lun said, "That's the reason, so we are completely racing against time, and that's why I am burning with anxiety."
Zhang Chong said, "Count Jin Hai, be careful not to be blinded by greed. It is very likely that this is Shenlang's plot, so we must first confirm whether there is a gold mine on the island or not. Shenlang is very cunning, and it is impossible to guard against him."
Tang Lun said, "How can I not know? But as I said, no one can get close to Wangya Island. Once they get close, they will be killed without mercy, and we can't find out the truth. "
Zhang Chong said carelessly, "Then let someone who doesn't dare to kill Xuan Wu Mansion go to Wangya Island."
Tang Lun said, "Who doesn't dare to kill Xuan Wu Mansion? We can't let the Sixth Prince go, and we can't let Governor Zhu Jung go either, right? How can we order such a big shot? Not to mention them, even the prefecture chief can't be ordered by us. "
Zhang Chong closed his eyes and said no more.
This name could not be suggested by him, otherwise it would seem that he had ulterior motives, so he must let Tang Lun think of it himself.
Count Jin Hai Tang Lun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought of a person.
This person could force his way into Wangya Island, and Jin Zhuo didn't dare to kill him.
This person was the little Pirate King, Chou Xiao! Because behind him was the Pirate King, Chou Tianwei, who had twenty to thirty thousand pirates under his command.
"Goodbye, Lord Prefecture Chief, rest well," Tang Lun said sarcastically.
Then, he left directly, without a moment's delay.
Zhang Chong lay down again, smiling in his heart, Shen Lang, I've sent Chou Xiao to your blade.
… …
As the story of Journey to the West became more intense, Chou Yao 'er became even more intoxicated.
Especially when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the heavenly palace, calling himself the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, which made her blood boil.
This was a great hero, this was a great hero.
Daring to sweep away all injustice in the world.
Not fearing any authority, any hegemony.
What immortal, what Jade Emperor, all of them will vanish into thin air.
And as the world gradually unfolded, it became more mysterious, but also more exquisite.
If the world was majestic at the start, then the Dragon Palace and Ling Xiao Palace of the Golden Arches would make one's mind sway.
Too imaginative.
Chou Yao 'er was completely immersed in the story.
She didn't even want to eat or drink.
She had no other hobbies but to explore the unknown and mysterious world.
Now that she was trapped in the Raging Tide City, unable to go anywhere, Xu Qianqian's story opened up a whole new world for her.
When she heard that Sun Wukong was suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Finger Mountain, Chou Yao 'er felt even more empathy.
"I was also suppressed under the Five Element Mountain," Chou Yao 'er sighed.
At that time, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but be shocked. You were so domineering, who could suppress you?
Now, apart from a few Grandmasters, who could be a match for you?
In a few years, even those Grandmasters wouldn't be a match for you.
Chou Yao 'er said, "My heart is far away, but my body is trapped here."
Xu Qianqian's heart trembled slightly.
It wasn't because of what Chou Yao 'er said, but because she never wanted to reveal her thoughts to anyone. In fact, she didn't even say a single word.
That was why that bitch Lv Yi had the power to bully others.
But now, Xu Qianqian also had this power. Because of her good storytelling, she had become Chou Yao 'er's most favored maid, second only to Lv Yi.
Now, there were countless beautiful women who were jealous of her and desperately trying to get into her good books.
When an extremely powerful and arrogant person revealed their thoughts to you, it was shocking in itself.
Xu Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you leave?"
Chou Yao 'er shook her head and didn't say anything else.
Xu Qianqian continued to tell the story until Tripitaka appeared and rescued Sun Wukong from the Five Element Mountain.
Suddenly, Chou Yao 'er said, "This book's name isn't' Buddha Must Perish ', right?"
Xu Qianqian said awkwardly, "Yes, it's called 'Journey to the West'."
Chou Yao 'er said, "Then change it back."
Journey to the West, Journey to the West!
She couldn't help but walk to the window and look at the sea.
What was on the other side of the sea?
Was it as colorful, strange, and mysterious as the world in Journey to the West?
No!
It probably wouldn't be that strange, but it would definitely be more colorful.
The real world couldn't be compared to the book. No matter how well written, it couldn't be compared to the real world. That was because the human imagination seemed limitless, but it was actually limited.
Sun Wukong and Tripitaka headed west.
But I want to head east, to the end of the sea, to explore the unknown world.
Unfortunately, I can't leave.
I'm trapped here.
Chou Yao 'er couldn't help but look at the sea in the distance and spread her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the unknown world in her imagination.
Looking at her back, Xu Qianqian was a bit intoxicated.
Too beautiful, too sexy, too powerful! (This phrase, Xu Qianqian had also heard from Shen Lang.)
Xu Qianqian was almost certain that out of all the women in the world, there wasn't a single one more infinitely charming than Chou Yao 'er.
Because no woman's legs were so long, so full of power.
No woman's curves were so hot.
And at this moment!
Suddenly, two streams of blood shot out from Chou Yao 'er's nostrils.
Then, her eyes turned bloodshot.
Her vision suddenly turned black, and her sexy and tall body fell straight down.
Xu Qianqian's heart was about to explode. She rushed up and tried to hug Chou Yao 'er, but she was pulled down to the ground by Chou Yao' er's body.
Next, Chou Tian Wei found countless skilled doctors to treat Chou Yao 'er.
But, none of the doctors could find the cause.
Chou Tian Wei was furious and killed a few doctors.
Chou Yao 'er's symptoms were very strange, and these doctors had never seen it before. Moreover, Chou Yao 'er didn't accept any touch from the opposite sex, so they couldn't treat her.
And her murderous aura was too strong. The male doctors couldn't even stand ten feet away from her.
Burning with anxiety, Xu Qianqian had no choice but to write a secret letter to Shen Lang for help.
… … …
When Shen Lang received Xu Qianqian's letter, his first reaction was.
Is this woman trying to harm me?!
There was no helping it. The smarter one was, the more suspicious they were.
Xu Qianqian had a deep grudge against him. What if she thought that she could cast Shen Lang aside after finding Chou Yao 'er?
But as Shen Lang continued to analyze, the possibility of this was not high.
Chou Yao 'er was too hard to get in touch with. No matter how good Xu Qianqian's story was, it would be hard to become her confidant.
Before Zhang Chong and his son died, Xu Qianqian would not betray him.
Then should Shen Lang go to Raging Tide City to save Chou Yao 'er?
If he went, it would be too risky.
But if he didn't go, and Chou Yao 'er died, then the Raging Tide City plan would be in vain.
Go!
Shen Lang immediately made up his mind.
But there was another problem. Shen Lang was too weak. He couldn't go to a place like Raging Tide City without protection.
At the very least, he needed an expert like Mulan to protect him.
Jin Hui and Shen Shisan couldn't do it. Firstly, their martial arts were not high enough, and secondly, they were already well known.
This time, Shen Lang had to go to the Raging Tidetide City without being discovered.
And then find the Sword King Li Qianqiu to be his bodyguard?
How could that be possible?
He was the Sword King, a grandmaster. How could he be your bodyguard?
He wouldn't even have the time to lick your wife's boots.
Besides, Sword Island was so far away. There wouldn't be enough time to find the Sword King Li Qianqiu.
Thus, Shen Lang once again found the Heavenly Dao Faction's Huang Tong!
This envoy of the Heavenly Dao Faction was currently living in the basement of Xuan Wu Mansion. Both sides still had many details to discuss.
… …
"Brother Huang, I would like to borrow an expert," Shen Lang said.
"No problem," Huang Tong replied. "How high do you need?"
Look at how tactful the other party was. He first agreed, then asked what kind of expert he needed.
Shen Lang replied, "About the same level as my wife. It would be best if it's a woman."
Huang Tong's ordinary and ugly face trembled slightly. "No problem."
Then, he hesitated to speak.
Shen Lang asked, "What's wrong?"
Huang Tong replied, "I do have an expert, and she's not far away. She's here to protect me. It's just that she might not be very good-looking. "
Shen Lang was speechless. What was Huang Tong trying to say?
Do you think I'll do something improper to this female bodyguard? "
Shen Lang replied, "I want an ugly one. The uglier, the better."
Huang Tong immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he became vigilant. He had heard that many men were very curious. When they were tired of sleeping with beautiful women, they would especially look for ugly women to sleep with. The uglier, the better.
In particular, many top-notch handsome men had this kind of hobby.
However, he still had to try his best to satisfy her. After all, she was a strategic ally.
He had already paid millions of gold coins, let alone an ugly woman.
A moment later!
A masked woman appeared in front of Shen Lang.
Her martial arts skills were indeed very high.
Because Shen Lang had seen the color of her bloodline through an X-ray. It was super high.
It was just a little lower than the idiot Tang Yan.
"Feng 'er, take off your mask," Huang Tong said.
The woman took off her mask.
Shen Lang's eyes trembled. Indeed … very ugly.
If it was a ten-point scale, it should be two points.
Looking at the eyes of this female expert, Shen Lang couldn't help but be curious. Were all martial arts addicts like this? Their eyes were always divergent and their gaze was always straight?
"May I ask who this lady is?" Shen Lang asked.
"My sister, Huang Feng!" Huang Tong replied.
Shen Lang asked, "Sister?"
Huang Tong nodded.
Shen Lang was stunned. Huang Tong, you're really something. You're even willing to take out your sister.
It's a very dangerous thing to put a woman next to a handsome man like me. The key is that your sister is only two points good-looking, and I will never be able to interact with her. If she is crazy about me, won't she be sad for the rest of her life?
However, Shen Lang seemed to be thinking too much.
The female expert, Huang Feng, completely ignored him.
Shen Lang said, "By the way, Brother Huang, does anyone know this sister of yours?"
Huang Tong said, "No one knows her, and she has been wearing a mask before. Now that she doesn't wear it, no one will know her."
Shen Lang was stunned. The mask had such a function.
Shen Lang said, "Miss Huang Feng, please get ready. We'll leave immediately."
Huang Feng nodded, not even saying a word.
Huang Tong said, "Feng 'er, from now on, no matter what Shen asks you to do, you have to do it. Do you hear me?"
Huang Feng still nodded. She seemed to always have this indifferent attitude.
Or, in other words, wooden.
That's right. The female expert, Huang Feng, was always calm. When she learned martial arts from her master, she had seen the most thrilling things. There was nothing in this world that could move her.
However …
Half an hour later!
The female expert, Huang Feng, who was always calm, trembled in fear.
That was because the annoying handsome man, Shen Lang, was gone.
Instead, a woman stood in front of her, a stunning beauty.
H-how did he do it?
Even his Adam's apple was gone!
Actually, Master Lang's male hormones were not strong, and his Adam's apple was not protruding.
Being stared at by the ugly expert, Huang Feng, Shen Lang said, "You're just making a fuss. Let's go!"
Hence, the crossdresser, Shen Lang, brought the ugly expert, Huang Feng, out to sea in the middle of the night and headed for Angry Tidewater City!
… …
