Chapter 332: Genius, own preferential treatment at noon)
Due to Lu Chen's exhausted arrival, some people thought of bad things, and as a result, panic spread among the tribe.
Lu Chen's clan members were not the only ones who sensed that something had happened. Ji Hongdie, who was active in thinking, thought of many things the first time she saw Lu Chen.
"My husband, you are determined in your work and will not rest halfway even if you are tempted. If you come back at this time, the only possibility is failure."
"Only a dozen people came back, which means that at least nearly a hundred barbarian warriors and a dozen leaders' sons were killed outside."
"With so many deaths at once, my husband will definitely be punished by the royal court and become further and further away from the throne."
It felt like her husband was far away from the throne, but Ji Hongdie found that she was not too sad.
In fact, her immediate concern was not that she could not compete for the throne, but that she was concerned about Lu Chen's body, fearing that Lu Chen would be seriously injured.
"My lord husband, are you okay?"
After running to Lu Chen's side at high speed, Ji Hongdie touched Lu Chen's body with her delicate and slender hands. It wasn't until she found that there were no scars on Lu Chen's surface that she breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Lu Chen: "Master,
A temporary failure is nothing, as long as you, my husband, are still around."
"Actually, the Royal Court is not bad. Why don't we stay in the Royal Court from now on?"
This was Ji Hongdie's true thoughts. Seeing only a dozen people behind Lu Chen, she truly felt the danger of the wilderness.
She did not want Lu Chen to experience danger or even die, so she planned to live in seclusion in the royal court with Lu Chen.
However, she had a lot on her mind, but Lu Chen was confused.
"What, why should I be sad? Forget it, is there hot water? I'll take a shower and rest first."
Lu Chen's body is very strong. Normally, he can stay up for a week without getting tired.
But this time it was different. The battle was fine. Although the battle was fierce enough, Lu Chen could endure it.
But the activated state of the godhead made Lu Chen miserable. Whether it was his body's energy and blood being consumed, or the power of faith being absorbed, Lu Chen was extremely exhausted.
What's more, Lu Chen also discovered something.
"Even if my body is up to standard and my divine power is sufficient, if my will is not strong enough, I will not be able to use my godhead for a long time. This burden is too heavy."
Just like playing high-performance games on a low-configuration computer, Lu Chen felt like he couldn't carry it at all.
Therefore, Lu Chen, who continued to use his divine power, felt that his brain was going to burn out. He just wanted to rest now, and it was because he was too exhausted that Lu Chen looked like a defeated general.
After finishing speaking, Lu Chen was not even in the mood to talk to Ji Hongdie and was about to run back to the tent directly. However, when walking in the village, Lu Chen discovered that a public bath had been built here.
Although the walls have not yet been built, the pit has been dug, paved with stones, and fresh water has been introduced.
Because of this, Lu Chen simply didn't go back to the tent and jumped directly into the bath.
"It's still so comfortable. It would be better if the water temperature was warmer."
Then, Lu Chen fell head over heels and fell into a deep sleep completely in the bathtub filled with clear water.
Of course, even though the person was asleep, the first ghost and god, Kazan of the Blade Soul, and the second ghost and god, Pu Ruimeng of Corrosion, had solidified around Lu Chen.
Seeing Lu Chen completely asleep and the two ghosts and gods guarding him, Ji Hongdie did not dare to approach.
But the tired Lu Chen didn't realize that at this time, not only were the barbarians coming to the village, but also several businessmen and two women in black clothes were also in the camp.
Ji Hongdie is indeed very capable. Before Lu Chen came over, she just selected an address. As Lu Chen's affairs officer, Ji Hongdie contacted businessmen who were willing to invest in Lu Chen and let them open up in Lu Chen.
When the territory was occupied, supplies were transported from Yunzhou.
When Lu Chen established the first Chen Village and led the team to other locations to establish villages, the merchants who had set out in advance had already arrived, and at the same time, they also brought a large amount of supplies.
Food, weapons, armor, and herbs, these first batch of supplies sent by merchants are urgently needed by the village, and the prices are very low.
Sending supplies urgently needed by the tribe and selling them at low prices is a bit unlike a profit-seeking businessman.
But if you really think so, it only shows your narrow vision.
It is true that those businessmen will not make losses, but truly powerful businessmen will never just make money.
The reason why they gave up so many benefits was because they wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Chen and gain Lu Chen's favor.
The favor of a strong man, especially a top one, is sometimes not measurable by price. At certain moments, this favor can even save someone's life.
Therefore, to make Lu Chen happy, they prepared their own supplies and guards. Xingye rushed to Lu Chen's tribe and sold a large amount of supplies to Lu Chen at a low price.
But at this time, seeing the tired Lu Chen, their hearts immediately dropped.
"This is a failure, why did it fail!"
"Calm down, that Thirteenth Prince is indeed strong, but walking in the wilderness, even a legendary figure in the realm cannot be said to be safe. His Highness may encounter an unstoppable evil spirit."
"I don't care what happened to that Highness, I only care about what should we do?"
"What else can I do? Keep investing."
Looking at his companion as if he were a madman, the tall Yunzhou native who said he should continue investing was very calm.
"That lord was indeed defeated, and even killed a dozen of the leader's sons and nearly a hundred warriors, but so what!" Turning his head, the tall businessman said word by word: "Do you think the royal court will give up?
This prince?"
These words made the somewhat impatient businessman calm down. He thought of Lu Chen's power and how Lu Chen could sweep away the geniuses of Yunzhou alone.
Thinking of this, the businessman already knew what Wang Ting was doing.
"I won't give up. Although there will be punishment from the royal court this time, it will be a small punishment at most, or the prince will not be allowed to establish a village again. But even if he is trapped in the royal court, with that prince's talent, he will become a member of a legion.
long."
"Isn't it clear? We will not lose money on this investment."
This world is so unfair. Others' failure means losing everything, but Lu Chen's high talent means that he has several chances to come back.
Geniuses have their own preferential treatment.
However, when he said that he would not lose money, the tall businessman had a sad look on his face.
Obviously, rather than investing in a legion commander, he still wants to have a good relationship with a prince who can become a barbarian king.
Although Lu Chen still made some money even if he failed, the loss in his heart was unavoidable.
Just when he felt uncomfortable, the impatient businessman spoke: "The investment continues, but what about the price of our goods?"
"This can be improved a bit."
No matter where you are, the integrity of a businessman is not worth overestimating.
The merchants who had brought the supplies were discussing. On the other side, the two women in black robes looked at Lu Chen, who was sleeping soundly in the bath, with expressions of embarrassment on their faces.
"It failed. I didn't expect this guy to fail too."
The person who said this was a somewhat charming girl's voice, a voice that was familiar to Lu Chen.
If Lu Chen wakes up, he will know that Yi Rong from the Yinshan Sect has been found according to Lu Chen's instructions.
She also had to come. Lu Chen's words in the ring completely blocked the possibility of their master returning to Yunzhou.
As long as they return, the two of them will become the scapegoats for Yunzhou's failure, so they can only come over.
But when they came over, they didn't expect to be hit head-on with a heavy blow.
Lu Chen failed, which also meant that life for the two of them who wanted to follow Lu Chen would also be difficult.
However, Yi Rong had not thought about this at this time. She just looked at Lu Chen in the bath, not believing that he would fail after always winning.
Obviously, because of Lu Chen's winning record and the worship of "heroes" in this era, she no longer has the emotion of personal worship.
Her master, on the other hand, was very calm.
"Failure is inevitable. There is no one who is always victorious. Even when he was at his most arrogant, he only claimed to be invincible at his level. He should have been defeated by evil spirits who were higher than him."
"Then what should we do?"
After accepting Lu Chen's failure, Yi Rong felt that the myth in her heart was shattered, and therefore, she began to think about more realistic things.
And these words made Yi Rong's master look at her a little apologetically.
"Although he failed, he is still alive and the royal court will not give up on him."
Master Yi Rong didn't say much, but Yi Rong, who was quite smart, already understood the meaning.
"I understand, master."
The apprentice she raised like a daughter was very smart and obedient, but it made her master even more uncomfortable.
"I've wronged you, Rong'er! But you'd better be careful these days. Barbarians are rude, and they will vent their anger after failure. When the time comes, you have to be patient... Otherwise, let's go. Yunzhou can't return. We
You can go to the Central Plains."
These words made Yi Rong's face look a little sad.
"Needless to say, master, we all have the mark of the Yinshan Sect on our bodies. Once we leave the protection of His Highness the Prince, we will definitely be hunted by the Yinshan Sect and there will be no way to escape."
When around Lu Chen, the Yinshan Sect would be afraid of Wang Ting and would not pursue him, but if he left Lu Chen's side, everything would be different.
"Don't worry, master, I will be patient."
Saying this, Yi Rong walked towards the dozen or so soldiers who followed Lu Chen.
Yi Rong was not the only one who did this. Ji Hongdie, Man Xiong and other leaders' sons also passed by. Although they felt that Lu Chen had failed, they wanted to ask what happened.
As the consul of the Chen tribe passed by, those merchants who wanted to discuss the price of supplies with Ji Hongdie also followed them.
Soon, a group of people gathered around the dozen or so soldiers.
Like Lu Chen, these soldiers had been running around for two days and two nights in a row, and their bodies were already very tired.
But because most of the evil spirits were eliminated by Lu Chen, they could rest during the day, so they could still persevere at this time, and were full of excitement and pride.
I am excited about the rapid establishment of a main town and six subsidiary villages, and I am also proud to witness all this.
"To build a safe place in five days, what His Highness did is definitely worthy of the title of hero."
"Of course His Highness is a hero. Those of us who follow His Highness, if it is compiled into an epic, we will pass it on."
"One hundred and seventy-two warriors who follow the king. I like this name very much."
Excited, they also saw Ji Hongdie's arrival.
Although they didn't like that Lu Chen, a barbarian, married a Yunzhou native and asked her to take charge of affairs, Lu Chen's prestige still made them respect Ji Hongdie.
At the same time, they are also preparing to tell Ji Hongdie the good news.
However, before they could speak, they heard Ji Hongdie's words: "Thanks to you for escaping back. But now you can't rest, tell me what happened to make Wang fail."
"Failure, what failure?"
Ji Hongdie's words left the returning soldiers at a loss.
