Chapter thirty five
If Zhou Bai comes this time, he is still an ordinary boy, then Chen Zhongbang may bend his waist for five buckets of rice and become an ordinary clerk under Zhou Bai.
But the young man who was full of energy at the beginning appears again with a different identity, and what he said is coming true step by step.
There has never been a "high-ranking person" willing to set foot in the poor alleys and treat these people at the lowest level with courtesy.
No matter how inexperienced the villagers are, they also know that providing help in times of need and adding the icing on the cake are two different things. Chen Zhongbang will not fail to understand.
What's more, changing the household registration has been the wish of three generations of his Chen family, and it's hard to thank him for the great favor.
Therefore, when faced with a choice, Chen Zhongbang resolutely accepted him as his lord and minister, and from then on he became his retainer and devoted his life's talents to repaying his favor.
"Sir, please get up quickly. You will definitely know that you made the right choice for this big gamble, haha." Zhou Bai couldn't hide his joy and quickly stepped forward to help Chen Zhongbang up.
I don't know whether it was because Qi Hua acted quickly or because Zhou Bai accepted Chen Zhongbang's allegiance.
Under the anger, the gray energy chains on Chen Zhongbang's body were breaking apart piece by piece and flying in all directions.
A strong white energy was extracted from Zhou Bai's body and injected into Chen Zhongbang's thin external luck. This was the support between the master and his ministers.
At present, Zhou Bai has not yet established a foundation, so the luck of his subordinates comes from himself. Thunder, rain, and dew all come from above.
With the support of luck, the disintegration process of the gray energy chain was faster, and it turned into a cloud of gray energy in a few breaths.
But that cloud of gray energy had a hint of domineering, and in the end it just took away some of the luck, and then it dissipated into the darkness.
Zhou Bai had some guesses about the origin of the gray energy chain. It should be caused by the restriction of Le household registration and the remnants of sinful energy from the ancestors of the Chen family.
Now that Zhou Bai has changed Chen Zhongbang's household registration, the gray energy chain will naturally lose its source of luck. Of course, before dissipating, the sinful energy will also cut off some of the luck.
Chen Zhongbang suddenly felt light all over his body, as if he heard the breaking of shackles, and a sense of ease and ease that he had never felt before came to his heart.
Why is this? Could it be that God is also celebrating my meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty? Chen Zhongbang was startled and looked at Zhou Bai.
"Congratulations, sir, you have returned to nature after being in a cage for a long time." Zhou Bai said with a slight smile.
"Fan Long, Fan Long..."
Yes, I have been confined to this small courtyard for a long time in Lehu. It’s time to take a look at the world outside.
However, Chen Zhongbang was a man of firm will after all. He quickly recovered and stepped into the role. He asked Zhou Bailily: "My lord, can you wait a moment? I can clean up and follow you."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. You can wait a few days and bring your family with you. Why separate the two places?" Zhou Bai persuaded.
"How dare you ask your lord to distract me from my family before you have accomplished anything? Please wait for a moment, lord." Chen Zhongbang shook his head and immediately went into the house to pack his luggage.
Although he didn't know Zhou Bai's status in the family, considering that he was so young, he must be in the early stages of establishing his business.
We can't let our family be a burden. The salary paid by our lord is now enough for the whole family to live a comfortable life that they never dared to imagine before.
Waiting for him to make great achievements and then take over his family is the right way to establish himself, not to mention that he also has a bit of ambition in his heart.
If one day he has wealth and status, what will happen to his relatives and neighbors who look down on him?
Soon, Chen Zhongbang left letters and clothes at home and followed Zhou Bai out of the poor alley.
At this time, the hustle and bustle outside the alley and the desolation inside the alley were completely different. It happened that a ray of sunlight shone into the darkness behind.
Long time no see.
In Zhou Bai's eyes, Chen Zhongbang's life shrouded in dust finally showed its cracks, and traces of extremely faint golden and blue energy emerged from the hazy life.
This made him happy and sighing at the same time. What he was happy about was that he was indeed a talented person, and it was not just that he had talents but no tools.
If you have the talent and tools, you can be a prime minister and an assistant.
What he lamented was that Chen Zhongbang's ancestors had been suppressed by the luck of the Daxu court, and now they have not been washed away by the luck of other systems. Their destiny is covered in dust and difficult to reveal, and they cannot activate their full potential.
However, just like that, a wisp of golden and green energy suddenly appeared near Zhou Bai's natal side. This was the return of the minister's luck.
From a phase point of view, this means that the monarch and his ministers benefit from each other. The monarch gives out his luck, and the ministers feed him back.
Zhou Bai used his Qi-watching technique with all his strength and saw a strong bond of luck connecting the two people in the dark void.
Once the relationship between master and minister is established, there will be both prosperity and loss.
[Origin point: forty-eight] (You gain the allegiance of the auxiliary star, and the two parties form a principal relationship, and the origin point is increased by four.)
Zhou Bai opened the heavenly book of luck and received the blessings from his ministers' luck. His white life, which was originally as thin as a beautiful needle, grew almost visibly to the naked eye.
All the above should have made him happy, but the black air that stirred around him from time to time calmed his joy.
A few days ago, when Zhou Bai was observing his energy, he noticed that a black energy was peeking out from the periphery, and there was a hint of blood on the black energy.
Although he is not the main target of this disaster, if he is not well prepared, he may be attacked by the way, and life or death is unpredictable.
So out of caution, he asked Qi Hua to arrange for someone to escort him.
Just after leaving the alley and not walking far, Lao Bashi drove a carriage over and said, "Master, Mr. Qi has arranged for a caravan to go with us and is waiting outside the city now."
Caravan? Zhou Bai frowned slightly and then relaxed, as long as there were enough guards, it would be suitable.
He glanced at the Book of Luck, and saw that the black energy was still around him, not approaching or giving any warning.
"Well, that's okay. I just want my family to take the lead with this caravan to see what business can be done." Zhou Bai nodded and got on the carriage with Chen Zhongbang.
Lao Bashi glanced at Chen Zhongbang in the car, and when he saw Zhou Bai nodded in agreement, he whispered: "Don't worry, young master. Although I am a horseman now, I am not afraid of a few thieves."
Then he pointed to the mezzanine of the carriage. Zhou Bai had mentioned to him in the past few days that the road was not smooth, so he made some preparations.
"Do you have a bow?" Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"Of course, you can shoot an arrow?" Lao Baoshi was full of slander and didn't really believe it.
"Let's see."
…
After meeting the Qi family's caravan outside the city, Zhou Bai's carriage was mixed in the middle, heading all the way to Pingcang County.
Dingzhou in the north is the northernmost state, and Bei'an County is the second northern county in Dingzhou. To the north of Cangshan Mountain, there is also Cangbei County, a military state.
However, Cangbei County is a military state after all, adjacent to the grassland and facing foreign enemies.
For most people in Dingzhou, Pingcang County, Bei'an County is the northernmost place. It is a bitter and cold place and it is best not to go there.
For this Qi family caravan, Pingcang County is a "fertile land" with many business opportunities. Cattle and sheep goods from Cangbei County and even the grassland can only go through Pingcang County if they want to go to the hinterland of Dingzhou.
Zhou Bai relied on his relationship with Qi Hua to be a good friend of the caravan. He quickly became familiar with the caravan manager and finalized several cooperation intentions.
During the rest of the time on the road, Zhou Bai was practicing the qi-watching technique with all his strength.
Previously, due to the proficiency in using it, the source point consumption of upgrading the Qi Watching Technique has been reduced a little, and it only takes 49 points to upgrade it to a small success.
Now with 48 points of origin, we are just one step away from breaking through the bottleneck.
After continuing to comprehend and practice for a whole day, the source of improvement in Qi-Wang Technique finally decreased a little again.
Zhou Bai looked at the increasingly darker sky and decisively chose to improve.
