Three days later, in the backyard of Shangguan's mansion.
On the large school grounds, Shangguan Shenhao stood in awe with his hands behind his back.
In front of him, a black bison with a size of one foot was charging towards him.
Not only is this bison huge, its body is even more muscular, and its chest is covered in scales. Every step it takes makes the earth tremble.
It lowered its head and pointed its sharp horns forward, its eyes were scarlet, and its whole body was filled with black energy.
Shangguan Shenhao remained motionless until the buffalo hit less than five feet in front of him, then he waved his left arm and suddenly struck the buffalo on the head.
With a loud "boom" sound.
The bison's hind hooves were raised high under the huge momentum, while the bison's forehead collapsed deeply.
By the time the bison's body crashed to the ground, there was no sound.
At this time, on the edge of the school grounds, a handsome man wearing a scholar's robe clapped his hands and said: "The master of the Shangguan family is so strong in cultivation. This demonic cow has a cultivation level of sixth level. When it collides, ordinary fifth-level people would not dare to correct themselves.
He raised his head, but he couldn't stop the attack from the master of the Shangguan family."
Shangguan Shenhao didn't answer. He looked down at his 'left hand'.
This is an arm made of gold and iron, with an icy cold glow on the surface and mysterious light golden lines.
Shangguan Shenhao's face was extremely gloomy, and there was hatred deep in his pupils.
His real left hand will never come back.
After a little while, the handsome man couldn't wait impatiently and asked with a smile: "I wonder if the head of the Shangguan family is still satisfied with this arm? To be honest, this is one of the best works of our Shenji Sect in recent years. Not only can it be regarded as a normal
When used with his arm, its power is equivalent to that of a fifth-grade magic weapon, and it looks pretty good.
With the help of this thing, Shangguan family master, not only will his combat power not be compromised, but he will even be better than before. The price I am offering you is also very fair, and I am honest with you."
Shangguan Shenhao looked indifferent, glanced at the handsome man, and then ordered the butler standing by: "Take him to the accounting room and give him money!"
The handsome man smiled and followed the butler away.
Just as the two of them walked out of the door, the handsome man saw a young man with a face like a full moon walking in.
The handsome man recognized this as Long Heng, the eldest son of the Long family.
He subconsciously glanced at the man's left arm, and then sighed.
such a pity!
The arm is extended, otherwise it will be another big deal.
When Long Heng walked into the courtyard, he also looked at Shangguan Shenhao's left hand, paying close attention.
However, Shangguan Shenhao retracted his gold and iron arm and hid it in his sleeve: "Has the matter of Xishan Hall been settled?"
Long Heng smiled slightly and looked back: "It's almost done. After the New Year, the remaining twenty shops will also return their leases from Xishan Hall's shops. They have also promised not to do anything in Xishan Town as much as possible.
Large transactions.
I can guarantee that after the New Year, Chu Xisheng and the others will not receive any rent in Xishan Town, nor will they receive any city tax exceeding one tael of magic silver."
Shangguan Shenhao frowned when he heard this: "That alone is not enough. What about those wealthy and wealthy families in Xishan? What do they say?"
Long Heng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "At present, only three companies have agreed to join forces to fight the tax, which is not yet a success. The young tyrant still has some reputation. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
Shangguan Shenhao's idea was to mobilize local wealthy families to join forces to resist the tax.
In the next few months, if the poll tax and land tax near Xishan cannot be collected, then the money can be planted on the head of Chu Xisheng, the 'township leader'.
The county can justifiably attack Chu Xisheng.
However, this is different from the situation of renting out, which means not doing business with Xishan Hall. Armed resistance to taxes is a direct enemy of Xishan Hall.
The problem is that the Iron Banner Gang is very intimidating, and Chu Xisheng even used the elite of the Eight Hundred Selected Fengtang to capture Xishan and forced Shangguan Shenhao to cut off his arm with three swords and six holes.
It is normal for wealthy people in those places to have concerns.
"Let Shen Zhou think of a way. The Shen family has been operating in Xishan Town for hundreds of years, and he is familiar with people there."
The corner of Shangguan Shenhao's lips raised slightly, and his pupils showed a stern look: "In addition to the wealthy and aristocratic families in these places, you can also provoke those Xishan hunters. In the past, Liu Dingtang relied on the Xishan Junjun and Baiyun Village, the Nine Swordsmen and these Xishan hunters.
Bandits must master both black and white so that they can smoothly collect blood tax from them, but why does Chu Xisheng?"
Long Heng crossed his arms and shook his head slightly: "Shen Zhou still doesn't want to see me. He is very resentful towards you and me for standing by and watching."
"What qualifications does he have to complain? I was forced to cut off my arm a month ago, so why did he ever lend a helping hand to my family?"
Shangguan Shenhao sneered: "If you don't want to see him, then let his housekeeper tell him that he wants to take back Xishan and rebuild Yima Valley, so he has to do something. You are right, for people like Shen Zhou, the only way is to force them
Only by forcing them to die personally. You and I are fighting to the death with the Iron Flag Gang, how can we let them just watch from the sidelines and be just spectators?"
At this time, he noticed that Long Heng's expression was hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Shangguan Shenhao couldn't help but snorted coldly, his eyes impatient: "What do you want to say? Just say what you have to say, don't be pretentious."
"I just don't know whether to say it or not."
Long Heng's eyes were fixed: "There is something very strange, and I am a little unsure. During the past three days, Chu Xisheng was buying land in the Xishan area and north of the east dock of the city, or using the high-quality farmland under his name
, exchanging land and land with various hometown tycoons.
I went to the county government office before I came here. On the occasion of the New Year, the government office had already locked up. Those civil servants who were supposed to take a break were invited back by him with money to revise the land registration book for him. The land he bought this time
It’s a lot, more than 700 hectares in total.”
Shangguan Shenhao was stunned when he heard this and looked puzzled: "What does this son want? He has bought so many fields, does he want to make a living from farming? Also, where did he get so much money?"
Isn't it a joke that a gang leader quits his job and goes to farm in the countryside?
"The money was borrowed from Zuo Qingyun. Three days ago, Zuo Yanei took away the deposits of two banks and raised a total of ninety thousand taels for him."
Long Heng said thoughtfully: "The key is that the land he bought is all uncultivated wasteland and low-grade fields on the side of Linxi Mountain. I don't know what he wants to do."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shangguan Shenhao is also very strange, this is obviously a loss-making business.
Even if these wastelands are successfully reclaimed, we don’t know how long it will take to recover the cost.
He immediately stopped caring: "Ignore him, you and I just need to implement the established strategy."
He wants Chu Xisheng to be unable to get even one tael from Xishan Town.
The Iron Flag Gang can occupy Xishan Town, but they must spend more than 100,000 magic silver every month to fill this bottomless pit.
I heard that Chu Xisheng also closed the brothel gambling house under the name of Xishan Hall.
This move was equally stupid and saved him a lot of effort.
※※※※
At the helm of the Iron Flag Gang, Tie Kuangren also learned about Chu Xisheng's massive purchase of land near Xishan.
After reading the news from the county government, he couldn't help rubbing his forehead with a headache: "Next month, let the accounting office prepare 30,000 magic silver. This money will be paid by me personally and will not be transferred from the public account."
This little brother is indeed wise, courageous, and unparalleled in benevolence and justice, but his ability to run an industry is really not that good.
"Is this money going to be allocated to Xishan Hall?"
At this time, Songfeng Jianlin Stone was on one side, and he couldn't help but frown: "But what about your secret medicine? There is already news of the main material 'Cangshan Worm' in the north. If you want to buy this thing, you need a sum of money."
Not a small amount of money."
Tie Kuangren looked calm and spoke calmly: "In other words, if we postpone it for one month, Xishan Hall will be captured, and it must not collapse!"
"But you missed the 'Cangshan Insect' this time, and I don't know when you will be able to gather the complete fourth-grade secret medicine again. Things have priorities, and your current Yuan Gong cultivation is the most important."
Lin Shi snorted slightly: "Not only is this person a germophobe, he is also naive and simple. As long as he doesn't touch opium, I didn't expect that he wouldn't even touch a brothel or gambling house. Such a person is not suitable to be the master of a house."
Tie Kuangren felt that this old brother's words were a bit too much. He glanced at Lin Shi: "Xiao Chu has his own ideas, not to mention that the foundation of our Iron Flag Gang is on the river. Later, we will allocate a few boats from the gang to
With a few old shopkeepers, Xishan Hall can still be maintained. As for the Cangshan Insect, I might be brave enough to ask my brothers to borrow it——"
But before Tie Kuangren finished speaking, Tie Xiaosheng suddenly said: "Who said he can't manage? This guy is a genius!"
Tie Kuangren and Lin Shi immediately looked sideways at Tie Xiaosheng across the table.
"Take another look at the news delivered to us by Bo, the director of the county government office."
Tie Xiaosheng handed a piece of letter in his hand back to Tie Kuangren: "You see, the land he bought is all connected together, from the east foot of Xishan Mountain, to the south foot of Xishan Mountain, to Xishan Town, and then from Xishan Mountain to Xishan Town.
The town reaches the bank of Shenxiu River."
The iron madman was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and read it carefully.
Lin Shi frowned: "So what if the land is connected into one piece?"
Before he finished speaking, he thought of a possibility, and his expression suddenly froze.
Tie Xiaosheng dipped his fingers in tea and drew on the Eight Immortals table in front of him.
"Look, this is Xishan, this is Xishan Town, this is Shenxiujiang——"
Then Tie Xiaosheng drew a line between the three.
"After this business is completed, Xiao Chu will not have to do anything in the future. He can earn a lot of money just by sitting down."
At this time, both Tie Kuangren and Lin Shi's pupils narrowed slightly, and they immediately raised their heads and looked at each other.
Lin Shi was amazed, but Tie Kuangman's face was full of surprises.
※※※※
At this time, Chu Xisheng stood by the Shenxiu River with his hands behind his back, looking at the land he bought with great satisfaction.
The group of people next to him, such as Chu Yunyun, Lu Luanli, Zhou Liangchen, etc., all looked at him like they were idiots.
Zuo Qingyun is also one of them.
The yamenai held a folding fan in his hand and looked helpless: "Xisheng, are you sure these lands can help you make money?"
Three days ago, Zuo Qingyun was quite surprised when Chu Xisheng came to him to borrow money.
He has always been worried about what happened that night at Zhiweiju.
As the biggest ring master in Nanjie Temple Market, he cannot protect his own ring masters.
Before and after Chu Xisheng was surrounded and killed by the Shen family, he seemed to have disappeared and did not show up the whole time.
Those who knew knew that he returned to the county town that night, and those who didn't knew thought that he had sold Chu Xisheng.
Zuo Qingyun felt embarrassed and guilty, and did not dare to meet Chu Xisheng.
So when Chu Xisheng came to the door, Zuo Qingyun was very happy.
This shows that Xiao Chu doesn't mind and considers Zuo Qingyun as his friend!
Without thinking, he agreed to Chu Xisheng's request to borrow 90,000 taels.
Zuo Qingyun is not worried that Chu Xisheng will not be able to pay off his debt in the future.
A Xishan Hall Master, a Qingyun Tianjiao ranked sixty, would not even be able to earn 90,000 taels.
But at this time, Zuo Qingyun felt a little regretful.
It's not that he is reluctant to part with the money, but he is afraid that Chu Xisheng will be cheated.
In order to purchase these wastelands as quickly as possible, this guy not only paid more than double the price, but also used the 200 hectares of high-quality paddy fields in his hands to replace other people's fields and wastelands.
Chu Xisheng was full of confidence. He pointed at the riverside: "It will definitely make money! Look at Yameni, I plan to build eight large warehouses there, and then build three streets in the south with more than 120 stores. I will just sit back and collect from now on."
With the rent, you can earn 20,000 magic silver per month, and this place may become a small ancient market in the future."
Zuo Qingyun was speechless.
He looked at this desolate riverside covered with reeds and overgrown weeds, and thought that other people would be stupid to rent warehouses and stores here.
He wanted to reach out and touch Chu Xisheng's forehead to see if this guy's head was burned.
But as far as two men are concerned, this action is too intimate.
Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli looked at each other, and Lu Luanli sneered, thinking that this guy was crazy about money.
Chu Yunyun sighed secretly, thinking that she should save some private money and not let Chu Xisheng lose everything.
Otherwise, what should they do with their seventh-grade secret medicine and cultivation materials?
At this moment, Li Shenshan led an old man with a gray beard and a strong spirit over.
This old man was about sixty years old, but he was wearing a blue short shirt in the cold winter. His strong muscles made the shirt bulge high, and his skin was dark all over, making him look extremely strong.
However, the old man's face was dark and he looked unhappy.
He was forcefully invited by Li Shenshan, and there were several members of the Xishan Hall gang standing behind him, all staring at him with their hands on their knives.
Li Shenshan walked up to Chu Xisheng and saluted: "Master, I have invited the person you asked for. This Liang Zhen is said to be the best river engineer in Xiushui. He used to work at the Dongzhou Water Supervision Bureau
He served as the chief water officer of the capital, and was also ordered to participate in dredging the Luonan Grand Canal and served as the hydraulic engineer."
Chu Xisheng looked at the old man and couldn't help being slightly stunned.
I can't tell.
Du Shui Changcheng was an eighth-grade official, but this old man dressed like an old farmer.
With a smile on her face, Chu Xi saluted this person uprightly.
He knew that the other party was resentful, so he went straight to the point: "Mr. Liang! To be honest, Chu wants to open a small canal in Xishan Town, but he has no one who is familiar with river engineering. He needs to find an experienced river engineer with rich experience."
Xiang helped with this matter. My subordinates must have come to invite me after hearing about Mr. Liang’s name. They don’t know the etiquette, so please don’t take offense to Mr. Liang.”
The old man originally sneered and looked disdainful.
But when Chu Xisheng was halfway through speaking, he raised his thick eyebrows: "Canal? What canal?"
“Of course it’s the canal in Xishan!”
Chu Xisheng was in high spirits: "It starts from the east foot of Xishan Mountain and the south foot of Xishan Mountain, and gathers many streams and springs in Xishan Mountain to form a river. The canal stretches for twenty-five miles to Xishan Town, and then goes all the way east, and then passes through fifty-five miles.
From here to here, it merges into the Shenxiu River. I want this canal to be twenty feet wide and three feet deep, so that it can pass five thousand ships side by side."
When the old man heard this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Going directly from Xishan to Shenxiu River? This is a good thing that is beneficial to the people. But it is difficult to do. Along the way, you have to pass through the land owned by more than a dozen powerful landowners. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to coordinate
All parties. Also, what a big deal is the canal? I’m afraid Xiushui County Yamen will not sit idly by.”
"Mr. Liang doesn't need to worry about this."
Chu Xisheng chuckled, and he pointed with one finger in the direction of Xishan Mountain: "I bought a total of more than 700 hectares of land, stretching from Xishan Mountain to the Shenxiu River. The widest is forty feet, and the narrowest is forty feet.
It is also twenty-eight feet long, and the terrain goes downwards and runs all the way through. It is more than enough to dig a twenty-foot wide canal.
What does it have to do with the local government if I dig a pond or a ditch on my own land? What does it have to do with those powerful landlords? So I just want to know now, if I want to dig this canal within a month, it will probably
How much expenditure is required?”
Digging a canal with a depth of nine meters, a width of 60 meters, and a length of 80 miles is not a small project even in modern times.
However, the people in this world are very powerful, and there are many ninth-grade martial arts cultivators, and there is no shortage of iron weapons.
When Zuo Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded: "Canal? Is this what you call an investment and a lifetime of profits?"
Chu Xisheng nodded: "That's what I mean. In the future, if a boat with five thousand materials is connected to my canal, I will charge one hundred taels of silver. The landowners along the way will get water from my canal, and they will irrigate every acre of water."
If you want to buy land, you have to give me one hundred pence. Do you think this business can be done?"
It is expected that after the canal is dug, he will still have 200 hectares of high-quality paddy fields left.
Chu Xisheng turned his head again and looked at Zhou Liangchen behind him: "Liangchen! If the medicinal materials and large trees in Xishan can be transported out, would your family be interested in opening a business here?"
Zhou Liangchen was by no means a man without financial knowledge. He said without hesitation: "I will write a letter and inform my father about this matter."
He hugged Chu Xisheng with admiration and said, "Once the river opens, the hall master can indeed make a fortune every day. It will not be a problem to earn four thousand taels of magic silver a day."
This is actually the most conservative estimate.
The key is that this canal can also drive all aspects of the entire Xishan. The industries of Chu Xisheng and Xishan Hall can also make money.
When Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanli heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
It sounds like the money view of this canal is very good?
Behind them, Liu Ruoxi looked even more impressed.
She knew that her benefactor was wise and far-reaching and would never disappoint anyone.
Chu Xisheng laughed heartily and was very satisfied.
At this time, the old man's eyes also showed a bright light, and he fell into meditation: "If the hall master really buys these lands, things will be much easier to handle. As for the specific labor costs, I have to explore along the way to calculate it clearly.
However, according to my initial estimate, one month is absolutely impossible. Starting from the 16th of January next year, it will take one and a half months. And based on the calculation of hiring 6,000 ninth-grade martial arts cultivators, the various fees will not be less than 30
Fifty thousand taels."
The smile on Chu Xisheng's face couldn't help but stiffen, and she scratched her face helplessly.
The future of this small canal is bright, but the process is tortuous.
With the financial resources of Xishan Hall, it is definitely not possible to accomplish this.
So he has to raise some more ‘investments’ next.
This matter is actually easy to handle. He has already planted the sycamore tree, so why worry about not attracting the phoenix?
As long as he is willing to give up 30% of the shares, the Linhai Zhou family alone can make the money complete.
If he spoke to the Lu family and Ying family in Linhai, they would also flock to him.
The problem is that this time, he actually borrowed a lot of money.
This canal can indeed make a lot of money every day, but if he wants to pay off his debts, it will take him three to five months, and he won't see the money in a short time.
Zuo Qingyun's eyebrows moved. He was already waiting for Chu Xisheng to speak to see if he could take some shares in this canal.
Even if he doesn't occupy any shares, he will be satisfied as long as he occupies a street at the entrance of the canal.
This is indeed a business where you sit and count money——
※※※※
Chu Xisheng wished that the canal could be dug and opened to navigation within one night.
But this is obviously not possible.
During the Chinese New Year, even if he had money, he couldn't hire anyone.
The actual start of construction will have to wait until after the Lantern Festival. Before that, there is still preparation work to be done such as prospecting, stocking up of stones and various tools.
But Chu Xisheng doesn't have to worry about this matter.
Tie Kuangren sent Tie Xiaosheng to take over the canal that day and help him handle the matter.
This deputy leader of the Iron Flag Gang is not only inferior to the Iron Banner in terms of combat prowess, he is also responsible for all the shipping business of the Iron Flag Gang and is a good manager.
Tie Kuangren was not very satisfied with Chu Xisheng's canal plan. He took drastic measures to expand the depth of the canal to four feet and the width to twenty-eight feet. He also planned to extend the canal for more than 100 meters to the two counties southwest of Xiushui County.
Here, connect them in a line.
The canal allows two large ships to navigate in parallel and radiates hundreds of miles around, with a population of more than 2 million.
Chu Xisheng had a clear understanding of the Tie brothers' intentions.
Tie Xiaosheng personally managed the canal on his behalf, not just for the money and scenery of the river -
The Iron Flag Gang is based on river water transportation. Wherever the Iron Flag Gang's warships sail, their influence can be extended.
Once this canal is opened to navigation, the entire Xiushui County will be under the control of the Iron Banner Gang.
However, as a result, not only was the completion time postponed to April, but the cost of the work also increased. According to Mr. Liang's preliminary calculation, it was as high as 1.9 million taels of magic silver, which made Chu Xisheng stunned.
Fortunately, he no longer has to worry about labor costs.
The Linhai Zhou family was indeed very interested. Zhou Xiangshan brought people over that day, and his family invested 350,000 taels, accounting for 10% of the shares; the other Lu families, Ying family and Shuiyungong family also
They all came one after another and invested a huge amount of 800,000 yuan.
For the remaining part, Tie Xiaosheng gathered the private properties of the seventeen hall leaders of the Tieqi Gang, and also roped in some nearby businesses in Xiushui County to take over all the remaining parts.
Chu Xisheng needs to give up 60% of his shares in the canal.
Instead of feeling dissatisfied, Chu Xisheng was actually quite happy.
His future income will not be reduced due to the transfer of shares, but will actually increase a lot.
Moreover, privately digging canals is still taboo with the government and will attract covetous attention from all parties.
He is only at the eighth level, but he cannot swallow this canal that earns a lot of money every day!
But now that many aristocratic families from Linhai have entered the situation, the Xiushui County government will not dare to act rashly.
With the Iron Banner Gang's forceful suppression, local forces can retreat.
Chu Xisheng also transferred an additional half to Zuo Qingyun. Not only did he pay off the debt, he also received 30,000 taels of magic silver from this yamen.
Zuo Qingyun was quite embarrassed.
Calculated based on the funds invested by all parties, these half shares are worth more than 170,000 taels.
Once this canal is opened, there will be no less than a hundred large ships with all kinds of materials in navigation every day, and there will be countless other small ships. This income will be extremely considerable.
However, Chu Xisheng regarded him as an angel investor and insisted on giving.
By the time all parties had agreed on the canal plan, it was already New Year's Eve.
That night, Chu Xisheng, Tie Xiaosheng, Zuo Qingyun, Zhou Xiangshan, Zhou Liangchen, Li Shenshan and others were drinking and talking together, playing guessing games and giving orders, singing and laughing.
Chu Xisheng's drinking power was still not enough, and she collapsed halfway through drinking. She lay unconscious at her desk and fell asleep, which made Chu Yunyun frown.
It wasn't until late at night that the bells of the temple outside the city rang, and the banquet ended, and everyone left staggeringly and drunkenly.
When the courtyard was quiet and no one was around, Chu Yunyun stood by the corridor, her hands behind her back, looking into the distance with a confused expression.
Just when Chu Yunyun couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, Chu Xisheng suddenly stood up from the table.
He looked relaxed and walked behind Chu Yunyun as if nothing had happened: "Why are you sighing and sighing suddenly? This is not like you, General Qin. Is it New Year's Eve that reminds you of your family?"
Chu Yunyun looked back in surprise: "Are you not drunk? Were you just pretending?"
This is not authentic——
Chu Xisheng said "hehe" and touched the bridge of his nose: "Of course I'm pretending. These people have bad intentions and are trying to get me drunk. If I hadn't pretended to be drunk, I would have suffered a lot tonight."
He would not repeat the same mistakes he made a few days ago.
Chu Yunyun burst into laughter, then turned to self-deprecation. She looked up at the stars: "New Year's Eve is a bit sad and melancholy. It wasn't like this before. But what kind of family do I have now?"
She felt that she had been a complete failure in her entire life.
At this point, I was helpless.
She could no longer trust her relatives.
Only her closest and trusted relatives can let her step into the trap unprepared.
She also couldn't trust her old friend.
There were two friends at the banquet that day, but they both chose to sit back and watch.
Nor can she trust the king she serves, Emperor Jianyuan, the leader of Daning Zhongxing.
Without Emperor Jianyuan's permission, how could those people work together to attack her?
Chu Yunyun still can't figure out why the bow is hidden before all the birds are gone?
"You still have me by your side." Chu Xisheng raised her eyebrows slightly and decisively grabbed Chu Yunyun's little hand.
What surprised him was that Chu Yunyun didn't refuse——
Chu Xisheng was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was solemn and solemn: "In eight years at most, we will definitely be able to return to the capital and find out all the reasons! Let us settle all the grievances between you and me."
He will try his best to climb to the first level in these eight years and help Chu Yunyun recover her cultivation.
Chu Yunyun glanced at Chu Xisheng, and felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
In this world, only the young man in front of her could make her feel warm from the bottom of her heart.
Chu Xisheng's words seemed to have magic power, which quickly calmed her melancholy mood.
"Eight years is too urgent. Your martial arts still needs time to mature." Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly: "But I believe in you!"
She squeezed back hard, feeling Chu Xisheng's solid and powerful palm.
Chu Xisheng's face was stiff, feeling that his bones were about to be crushed. He quickly diverted Chu Yunyun's attention: "By the way, are you ready for what I want you to prepare?"
Chu Yunyun was indeed distracted. She took out a few things from her sleeves: "I have prepared them a long time ago. I imitated the words and true intentions of my childhood and imitated them. However, I don't know how to make them old, and there are still flaws."
Chu Xisheng looked at the books and scrolls she took out, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
At this time, another New Year's Eve bell happened to ring from a distance, and Chu Xisheng's expression suddenly became complicated. He also thought of his family in his previous life.
Then Chu Xisheng sighed secretly and put away his thoughts.
He has no worries about his previous life.
Although he regretted that he died early due to overwork, the money he earned through hard work was cheap to the bank. But throughout his life, he was worthy of others.
Now there is only Chu Xisheng, and -
Chu Xisheng looked at Chu Yunyun.
——And the person in front of him.
What Chu Xisheng didn't know at this time was that at the moment when he was holding the beauty's hand, at the east dock dozens of miles away, Jian Zangfeng and Lei Yuan were standing on the dock with a group of left-behind martial artists from the Zhengyang Martial Arts School.
, looking at a three-story ship slowly approaching from a distance.
As soon as the boat docked, a person stepped out of the boat. He was a thirty-year-old magician wearing a blue robe and with stern features.
Jian Zangfeng smiled and cupped his fist at this person: "Brother Zong!"
Lei Yuan and a group of people behind him were waiting, but their faces were solemn, and they bowed to this person: "We see the special envoy."
The person in front of them was a true disciple of the Wuxiang Shen Zongshu Master Academy, and he was also the special envoy Zong Lingshu who came to find the successor of the 'Bloody Sword Lord'.
