One day later, at the entrance of Dawangzhuang, a group of surviving children from Zhengjiazhuang and three villagers who had just woken up gathered.
"Fifth uncle, if you hadn't protected us, our whole family would have died. Before he died, my father also told me that he didn't blame you for this disaster. If he did, he would blame the world, Wu Shenhou, and You have nothing to do with it." A surviving villager from Zhengjia Village weakly comforted Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian, with tears in his eyes, bowed to the remaining clan members again and again, feeling extremely guilty but not knowing how to apologize.
Not far away, Xiao Nanfeng and others also watched silently.
"I remembered who Zheng Qian was. What a pity." Ye Sanshui frowned and sighed.
"Senior Brother Ye, do you know Zheng Qian?" Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but ask.
"I have heard about his deeds. He was the number one scholar in the last imperial examination of the Dawu Dynasty. He had outstanding management skills and even more amazing methods of amassing wealth. Later, when the dynasty changed, the Tianshu Emperor wanted to invite Zheng Qian to become an official many times. , it is a pity that he is stubborn, because he is too loyal to the Dawu Dynasty, and would rather die than join Tianshu, and would only follow Wu Shenhou. In the past few decades, he has earned countless money for Wu Shenhou, but now he does not know how to get along with Wu Shenhou. Hou had a falling out?" Ye Sanshui recalled.
"The top talent has rich management experience, understands financial management, and is loyal? This is a good professional manager?" Xiao Nanfeng stared at the distance with a concentrated look and Zheng Qian muttered to himself. .
If Xiao Nanfeng wanted to find the whereabouts of his parents, he couldn't rely on himself. He had to recruit capable people to help him build a career and cultivate greater strength. Zheng Qian's resume instantly moved Xiao Nanfeng's heart.
At this moment, I saw several senior brothers walking over carrying the body of the golden crow demon.
"Junior Brother Nanfeng, it's really you. This golden crow demon has condensed its inner elixir, and you actually killed it."
"Senior Brother Ye has broken through the mortal realm and can't do anything to it, but you can kill it? You are really powerful."
…
Ye Sanshui: "..."
"It's all luck. This golden crow demon ate the Purple Smoke Poison Pill and suffered the consequences." Xiao Nanfeng said modestly.
"You can make it eat the poison pill, that's your skill!" Xiao Yu said while helping Xiao Nanfeng build momentum.
…
"Third uncle, if you don't stop me, you will have no right to speak at all!" Ye Dafu whispered to Ye Sanshui.
Ye Sanshui glared at this nephew, "Holy crap, how can I stop him? Don't you see that something is wrong with the situation?"
At this time, a junior brother walked towards Xiao Nanfeng.
"Junior Brother Nanfeng, the fifty corpses of the Crow God Army have been buried. A total of 6,000 taels of gold were found on their bodies, as well as their horses and weapons. After calculation, there are probably 4,000 taels of gold. All in all. , worth ten thousand taels of gold in total." A senior brother handed over a pile of gold tickets.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Nanfeng took over and said with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Nanfeng's wealth rolling in, Ye Dafu's eyes turned red with jealousy.
At this moment, Zheng Qian and Old Man Wang walked up to Xiao Nanfeng again.
"Forgive me, old man, for my blindness. I didn't know that my benefactor was here. I just heard Mr. Zheng's suggestion and I realized that you took Mr. Zheng away earlier to save Dawangzhuang. Thank you so much!" Old Man Wang bowed deeply.
"Don't be polite. Thank you for letting me stay at your house for one night. I also accept your kindness." Xiao Nanfeng helped Old Wang up.
"How can staying overnight compare to the kindness of saving a life? My benefactor, please don't say that. Although I have lived in the country for a long time, I also know what kindness is. Whenever my benefactor asks me to send you, I will never refuse." Old Man Wang Stubbornly.
"Old Wang used to be the imperial physician of the Dawu Dynasty, and he also had the cultivation level of Houtian. After the Dawu Dynasty was overthrown, he left the officialdom and came back. Here are his people. I would like to thank my benefactor for saving me this time, otherwise, I wouldn't know How can I face my old friend again?" Zheng Qian bowed gratefully again.
"What are your plans for the future?" Xiao Nanfeng looked at the two of them casually and asked casually.
"When I find a way to settle the remaining clan members, I will hide incognito!" Zheng Qian said with a bitter smile.
"Mr. Zheng, if you can't hide, Wu Shenhou will definitely retaliate and will definitely track him down. Your tribe is still children, where can they hide? I don't know what to do if I don't tell you, the people in this village don't know what to do. Alas, !" Old Man Wang said with a sad look on his face.
"Zheng Qian, I have an idea. I wonder if you can listen to me?" Xiao Nanfeng said seriously.
"My benefactor, please speak!" Zheng Qian said solemnly.
"I want to hire you to work for me temporarily."
"Ah?" Zheng Qian was startled, obviously not expecting Xiao Nanfeng to make such a request.
"We have a term of ten years. After ten years, if you want to leave, I will never stop you, and I will never let you do anything harmful to nature. In these ten years, I will keep your tribe safe, and at the same time, everyone in Dawangzhuang will be safe. , I will also guarantee it." Xiao Nanfeng said solemnly.
"Ten years? I am honored that my benefactor thinks highly of me. But, there are so many of us..." Zheng Qian smiled bitterly.
"I am a disciple of the Taiqing Immortal Sect. I have asked my master that there are large desert islands in the sea around Taiqing Island. They are the property of my Taiqing Immortal Sect. I can rent a desert island for you to live temporarily. I Even Wu Shenhou would not dare to act recklessly in Taiqing Immortal Sect's territory, so you can rest assured."
As soon as Xiao Nanfeng said this, Zheng Qian's worries were immediately dispelled.
"In the next ten years, Zheng Qian will do his best for his benefactor." Zheng Qian's eyes lit up and he said gratefully.
"Old man Wang, since you used to be an imperial doctor, you will treat Zheng Qian's injuries first. If you need medicinal materials in the future, buy them at the Taiqing Xianzong Pill Shop in my name. In the future, more people will go to the island. Please use your medical skills. Protect everyone." Xiao Nanfeng solemnly confessed.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor, I will do my best." Old Man Wang said with a serious expression of gratitude.
"Zheng Qian, these six thousand taels of gold, as well as the horses and weapons of the Black God Army, will also be handed over to you for use in the construction of the island. I will contact the handyman disciples later to escort you to a deserted island."
"yes!"
Zheng Qian took the money with great solemnity. The two responded and arranged for people to prepare for the move.
Ye Dafu on the side had already widened his eyes: "Is this brat's head broken? Just give away so much money? Is he so prodigal?"
None of the Taiqing Immortal Sect disciples understood, and even Xiaoyu complained: "Nanfeng, did you spend all the money you just got on them?"
"I have other plans." Xiao Nanfeng explained with a smile.
"What other plans do you have? You are such a waste of money. You spent so much gold in the blink of an eye, and you don't know how to keep some for yourself? It makes me so angry!" Xiao Yu complained angrily.
Xiao Nanfeng did not explain that he needed a team. He understood better that a thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. If you spend all the money, you can make more money, but if the talents are gone, the loss will be great.
Early the next morning, Xiao Nanfeng and Zheng Qian had another separate explanation.
"Zheng Qian, the conditions on the island are difficult. I promise you to use these 10,000 taels of gold to make everyone live a better life and achieve sustainable development. I don't care about money, I want to see your ability to use this money. "Xiao Nanfeng ordered.
"My benefactor, I will definitely not let you down." Zheng Qian said confidently.
"I'm looking forward to it. Okay, I've contacted the handyman disciples to escort you. Get ready to hit the road." Xiao Nanfeng patted Zheng Qian on the shoulder.
Zheng Qian hesitated to speak, his expression changed for a while, and finally he said: "My dear friend, are you going to Dawu City?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Nanfeng nodded.
"The countless people's fat and anointed by Wu Shenhou were used to strengthen the strength of Wu Shen's army. He never cared about the life and death of the people. I was extremely disappointed with him, so I stole all the gold in his inner treasury before abandoning my official position and returning home. ." Zheng Qian laughed happily.
"Did you really steal all the gold in the inner treasury of Wushen Hou?" Xiao Nanfeng said in surprise.
"Yes, I actually have no ability to bring out that money. I just used my authority to hide the money during the expansion of Shenhou Mansion, making them think that I had stolen it. In fact, the money was still under their noses. It’s just that no one knows.” Zheng Qian laughed.
"Dark under the lamp?" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, the money is right under their noses, and there are heavy soldiers guarding the area. I told my benefactor the location so that he can use this information to defend himself." Zheng Qian said solemnly.
"Self-defense?" Xiao Nanfeng asked confused.
"I don't know why he invited you to annihilate Manya Mountain, but I know that Wu Shenhou hates the Taiqing Immortal Sect. How can he give you any benefits?" Zheng Qian sneered.
"oh?"
"Wu Shenhou ignores the life and death of the people and strengthens the Wu Shen Army. Doesn't he just want to restore the country? He hates the Tianshu Emperor, and naturally he will also hate the Taiqing Immortal Sect that the Tianshu Emperor is a student of. You are going to Dawu City. , may not be a good thing." Zheng Qiandao.
