Chapter 168

Zhang Jin said, "Father, you've seen through Shen Lang's scheme. Why didn't you expose him and stop him?"

Zhang Chong said, "Why should I stop him? On the contrary, I have to cooperate with him and wipe out a few families in one fell swoop, sweeping away all obstacles for the new government and achieving unprecedented merit. "

"Isn't he going to wipe out Chou Tianwei's pirate crew? Isn't he going to wipe out the entire Jin Hai Count House? Cooperate with him! "

"Shen Lang's net is going to bury the Pirate King and the Tang Clan. As for my net, it will send everyone to their graves! "

Zhang Chong then said, "Right, let me tell you something. Xu Qianqian is not dead."

Hearing this, Zhang Jin's expression changed drastically, and he hissed, "Where is she?"

Zhang Chong said, "Chunhua has just sent news that Xu Qianqian has successfully infiltrated Chou Yao'er's side and has become her closest person. If I'm not wrong, she should be colluding with Shen Lang. "

Zhang Jin said, "How can this be? That night, I heard clearly that she had been burned to death. "

Zhang Chong said, "I've already sent people to investigate the Zhang Clan's ruins. Xu Qianqian's embroidered tower has a secret room with a few buckets of water inside. She probably hid in the secret room to escape during the fire."

Zhang Jin said, "Then I'll think of a way to kill her now."

Zhang Chong said, "She's by Chou Yao'er's side now. How are you going to kill her? Who can beat her? Are you going to ask Zhong Chuke, Li Qianqiu, or Yan Nanfei to do it? "

Zhang Jin said, "Shen Lang must be plotting something by having Xu Qianqian hide by Chou Yao'er's side. We must destroy it and not let him succeed."

Zhang Chong said, "We must let him succeed. Otherwise, with Chou Yao'er guarding Raging Tide City, who can take it down?"

… …

Xuan Wu Mansion paid back 800,000 gold coins.

The news of the torrential downpour of gold quickly spread throughout the world.

All the nobles in the world were completely speechless, not knowing how to react.

There was no response from the capital either.

There were a few Imperial Censors who submitted memorials to impeach Shen Lang for being domineering and unreasonable, asking the Monarch to punish him, but these memorials were like stones sinking into the ocean.

Then, the case of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites being suspected of cheating in the imperial examinations broke out.

In an instant, the entire capital was in an uproar. Countless people were shouting and shouting, and everyone's gazes were drawn over.

But to the people of the world, a case of cheating in the imperial examinations by the Assistant Minister of Rites was not as exciting as the matter in Shenlang.

After a short period of silence, public opinion completely exploded.

Countless people were talking about this matter.

Countless people were describing the scene of 800,000 gold coins pouring down.

Everyone described the scene with extreme exaggeration, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Golden Storm, Golden Tide, and other terms resounded throughout the State of Yue.

Shen Lang's reputation changed in an instant.

In the past, he was just a useless son-in-law who only knew how to squander. But now, he had become a deity who turned something rotten into something magical.

He became the idol of countless young people in the world.

Turning stone into gold. Awesome, right?

Previously, when he became the son-in-law of Xuan Wu Mansion, he was despised by everyone. But now, he performed this golden miracle and was worshipped by tens of thousands of people.

In less than a month, he had earned 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins. Wasn't that scary?

Then, countless people began to discuss how Xuan Wu Mansion had earned 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins in a little more than a month.

That was too difficult.

No business in the world could earn so much money.

Xu Guangyun had monopolized more than half of the silk industry in Tiannan Province, and the net profit he earned in a year was only tens of thousands of gold coins.

Xuan Wu Mansion had 100,000 people, and it had mines and saltworks, but it only earned tens of thousands of gold coins in a year.

700,000 to 800,000 gold coins in a month?

Could it be that gold coins fell from the sky?

Someone said mysteriously, "It's not that gold coins fell from the sky, but gold coins from the earth.

Do you know?

The 700,000 gold coins in Xuan Wu Mansion were cast in a hurry. The gold was very new. It was just a mold of a gold coin, and there was no time to print words and patterns on it.

There were even a lot of gold lumps in it, and there were even gold nuggets with sand in it.

What did this prove?

This gold had just been mined from the earth.

A gold mine was found in Xuan Wu Mansion.

A gold mine was found in Wangya Island!

And it was a very high-grade gold mine. There was not only gold sand in it, but also a lot of nuggets. Some were a few taels, and some were even more than a catty, which could be used directly.

This public opinion instantly formed a huge storm and spread to every corner.

Even the public opinion caused by Shen Lang's pretentious act was suppressed.

Everyone was talking about the gold mine that might exist in Wangya Island.

Gold moved people's hearts.

What could make money faster than gold mining in the world?

No wonder Xuan Wu Mansion could pay 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins at once.

No wonder the Kim family would rather give up Jinshan Island and keep Wangya Island.

Therefore, countless people took boats to Wangya Island.

But no one could get close, because the surrounding waters were all blocked by Xuan Wu Mansion.

Anyone who dared to get close to Wangya Island would be killed!

… …

After completely showing off, Xuan Wu Mansion fell into the busiest moment.

As soon as the people of Yinyuan Association left, Xuan Wu stopped pretending to be sick and immediately appeared in front of everyone in high spirits.

He was in a good state of mind, but he did lose a lot of weight. Mrs. Count was very happy about it.

She even took the initiative to ask Shen Lang if she could take the medicine. She also wanted to lose weight.

Suddenly, Shen Lang showed an extremely shocked expression and said, "Mother-in-law, you … you also want to lose weight? My God, is there anyone in the world who has a better figure than you? If you gain a bit more, you'll be fat, and if you lose a bit, you'll be thin. Every inch of your body seems to be carved by the heavens. If you want to lose weight with a body like yours, how can all the women in the world live? "

Suddenly, the mother-in-law was overjoyed and no longer mentioned losing weight.

Then, the two talked about beauty, the eye cream, deep sea face cream, and so on invented by Shen Lang.

They chatted happily.

Finally, Xuan Wu couldn't help coughing and said, "Off topic, off topic."

Then, he got back to the main topic.

Su Peipei really wanted to continue.

Didn't women love to talk about beautiful clothes, beauty, rouge, and so on?

Originally, she could have talked to her daughter, but Jin Mulan had no interest in it, which disappointed her.

But now, her son-in-law had completely filled the gap. A thousand words were too few when she met a confidant.

The key was that when this son-in-law was busy with important things, he came up with exciting little inventions one after another.

Things like soap, shampoo, perfume, lipstick, facial mask, deep sea clam oil, and so on.

She couldn't go back after using them.

Su Peipei felt more and more that this was not only her son-in-law, but also a good sister.

…

Shen Lang continued to talk about important things.

"Father-in-law, a war is coming. Next, we need to recruit a lot of soldiers and expand the army by two thousand."

Xuan Wu said, "Recruit from outside or from inside?"

If they recruited from outside, the wandering warriors' martial arts were much higher, but their loyalty was not good.

Shen Lang said, "Just recruit in the fief. Don't we also have militia organizations in our fief? Just pick out the elites from them. "

Xuan Wu said, "That way, their combat power may not be strong."

Shen Lang said, "It doesn't matter. Although it's a war and many people will die, our army is just for show. There won't be many opportunities for real close combat. Most of the time, they will be killed by conspiracies, poisons, and traps! "

Xuan Wu said, "Won't expanding the army to five thousand be too aggressive and anger the Monarch?"

Then, Xuan Wu said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

The private army of Xuan Wu Mansion was at most five thousand, and this number did not violate the ancestral system.

As for whether it would anger the Monarch? That was for sure.

But when the butcher's knife was on your neck, would you still worry about whether it would anger the other party?

Shen Lang said, "Expand the army quickly. Directly complete it in three days. Anyway, the armor and warriors are ready-made."

Xuan Wu said, "Mulan, is there a problem with expanding the army by two thousand in three days?"

Jin Mulan said, "Although the time is very tight, there is no problem."

Shen Lang said, "After this, there will definitely be countless people heading to the Cliff Gazing Island to spy on us. Therefore, our acting must be realistic. The Cliff Gazing Island, this golden island, must live up to its name. It must be coveted by everyone in the world. I plan to use four hundred thousand gold coins to decorate this golden island."

400,000 gold coins?

After returning 700,000 gold coins to the Yinyuan Association, Xuan Wu Mansion had less than 320,000 gold coins left.

But just yesterday, Huang Tong shipped another 100,000 gold coins.

This batch of gold was even more primitive. It was like it had just been taken out of a gold mine, and some of it was gold with sand in it.

And most of it was gold sand.

Shen Lang had never asked for this money. It was completely sent by the Tiandao Association.

Moreover, Huang Tong said that this was an interest-free loan with an unlimited return date and could be deducted from future payments.

Obviously, the Tiandao Association's Elder had also seen Shen Lang's amazing strategy.

Therefore, he immediately cooperated with the support and must make this show more realistic.

Both Huang Tong and the Great Elder deduced that Shen Lang's goal was the Raging Tide City.

This was the trade center of the eastern sea of the State of Yue. Once it was taken down, it would be of great significance.

At that time, as a strategic ally of Shen Lang, the Tiandao Association could of course immediately take root in the Raging Tide City and occupy an absolute position in the maritime trade.

This was also something that couldn't be bought with money.

Huang Tong told Shen Lang that the gold coins that the Tiandao Association could use in the State of Yue had almost all been withdrawn, but if Shen Lang needed it, the Tiandao Association could raise it from other countries or even from the headquarters.

It was still an interest-free loan with an unlimited return date. There wasn't even an IOU or a contract.

Even Shen Lang was taken aback by such a huge sum of money.

It was really worthy of being an organization that had ruled the business world of the Eastern world for hundreds of years. Such determination and boldness were completely admirable.

This was also in line with the saying.

The top business organizations were not for money at all, but for power.

Although this kind of power was not the same as political power, it wasn't far from it.

Of course, there was no gold mine on Wangya Island, but Shen Lang wanted 400,000 gold coins to pile up into a gold mine.

All the iron mines had been suspended, and all of them had been converted into gold mines.

Not only were there gold coins that had just been minted, but there were also gold lumps and gold sand.

There was even mineral soil that had just been excavated.

There was absolutely no flaw.

"Father-in-law, after the expansion, you will need to do it yourself." Shen Lang: "You will lead 4,000 troops to Wangya Island and use 10,000 civilians to build a castle."

It was definitely too late to build a castle at this time.

It was all an act.

"We must let the world see clearly that all the strategic focus of our family is on Wangya Island. There are only 1,000 soldiers in the fief and 4,000 stationed on Wangya Island."

"We must show our will. We would rather lose the fief and the castle than lose Wangya Island."

"We must let the world know that the gold reserves on Wangya Island are astronomical and may reach hundreds of thousands of kilograms."

Xuanwu nodded: "Good! After the expansion is completed in three days, I will immediately lead 4,000 troops to Wangya Island and start building a castle on it. "

Then Xuanwu said: "Lang'Er, there will definitely be people frantically trying to find out the truth of Wangya Island. Should we defend it or deliberately leave a gap?"

Shen Lang said, "Defend the island to the death, kill anyone who dares to enter the Cliff Gazing Island, no matter who is behind them, no matter how great their background is, kill them all. We must display our unparalleled determination. There couldn't be a single flaw in this big show. Father-in-law, don't worry. There are no walls in the world that can't be penetrated. The scene of Wangya Island's gold mine will definitely be leaked. "

Strategic deception was very difficult.

There must be no flaws or the enemy would find out.

So the only way was to make it more real than the real thing.

It required an astronomical amount of gold, thousands of soldiers, and tens of thousands of commoners to put on this show.

Xuanwu said: "If I wasn't an insider, I would definitely be deceived. I firmly believe that Wangya Island has found a big gold mine. With my understanding of Chou Tianwei and Tang Lun, they will definitely fall into the trap. This big scam is too big and everyone in the world will fall into it. "

Shen Lang: "No, there is one person who won't. Maybe he has already seen through it."

Xuanwu: "Who?"

Shen Lang: "Zhang Chong. He has not appeared for a few months, claiming to be recuperating at home. This is the biggest abnormality."

Xuanwu: "Our strategic blackmail has no flaws, how can he see through it?"

Shen Lang said, "A truly brilliant chess player doesn't need to care about your diversionary tactics at all. He'll directly grasp your heart and see through your ultimate objective. In that way, no matter how brilliant your diversionary tactics are, they won't be able to escape. Our governor's move is even more astonishing. He wants to take the opportunity to eradicate the three great powers. He wants to establish an immortal achievement for a hundred years. When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. He wants to be the fisherman who has the last laugh. "

For others, this game of chess was confusing.

But for Zhang Chong and Shen Lang, it was almost like playing Ming chess.

Mulan reluctantly left the castle. She was still thinking about the bet with Shen Lang.

But this kind of thing was too wonderful, and it was her first time with Shen Lang. She really didn't want to be so hasty.

After returning the money to Xuan Wu Mansion, she wouldn't even have the chance to spend the night at home. She would be extremely busy for the next few days.

She really didn't have time to complete this wonderful first time in the next few days.

So inexplicably, she bit Shen Lang's chest again. Then, she put on her armor and went to recruit soldiers.

"Pretty boy, wait for me to come back and teach you a lesson. I'm going to eat you alive."

These words immediately made Shen Lang completely stunned.

This … this came from Mulan's mouth?

Are you sure you're not possessed by that coquettish girl Xiao Bing?

Mulan was a reserved goddess, a cold goddess.

How could she say such shameless words?

The miracle that Shen Lang created this time was too great. Even a goddess like Mulan was shocked.

On top of that, his strategic deployments were each more shocking than the last.

At this time, the overall situation had already been formed. They just needed to wait for the enemy to fall into the trap.

Women were all emotional, and Mulan was no exception.

They would instinctively worship the strong. The stronger the man, the more they would fall.

In the last battle on Jinshan Island, half of Mulan fell.

And this time, the Golden Island strategy was about to succeed. The Kim family was about to establish a great enterprise for a hundred years.

This kind of situation was really mesmerizing.

Plus, with the stimulation of countless gold, the goddess Mulan completely fell.

The deepest love for a woman must be worship mixed with a strong urge to reproduce.

What spiritual resonance?

It couldn't be said that it didn't exist, but most of it was fake.

Humans weren't that pure and high-end.

Sigh!

There was really no other way. Master Lang's charm was too great. He could even turn an ice goddess into a wolf.

However, Mulan's words made Shen Lang's mind sway. He was stunned for a few hours.

Even when Xiao Bing came to tease him, Shen Lang was so scared that he kept hiding. He was really afraid that he couldn't control himself.

"Bing 'er, don't come over, don't come over! I really can't control myself. What if something really happens? You'll feel good, but I'll be beaten to death by my wife. "

Mulan was now a completely emotional mother beast. At this crucial moment, Shen Lang really didn't dare to make any mistakes.

"You're so annoying. Then hurry up." Xiao Bing stomped her feet. The rabbit shook for a while, causing Shen Lang to almost squat down.

He couldn't take it.

"Miss is really annoying. You occupy the latrine but don't shit. You don't care that others will suffocate to death."

This sentence extinguished half of the fire in Shen Lang's heart. F * ck you, you slut. Do you know how to speak?

What latrine? Who is a latrine?

Besides, you describe such a beautiful thing as shitting? You're really uncultured.

… …

In the next few days, Mulan didn't stop. She didn't sleep and went to every town and village in her family's fief.

Every time she arrived at a place, she immediately gathered all the civilian soldiers and selected the most elite among them to be incorporated into her private army.

Armor and weapons were distributed on the spot. Settlement money was given on the spot. Half a year's pay was given in advance.

Suddenly, the morale of the entire Xuan Wu Mansion fief soared.

Countless able-bodied men scrambled to join the army.

When this scene spread, the surrounding dignitaries were even more shocked.

Xuan Wu Mansion actually expanded its army?

This was completely against the world's will. This was a provocation to the Monarch.

Expanding the army at this juncture?

What were they trying to do?

Then many people found that the fleet of Xuan Wu Mansion continued to go to Wangya Island.

One army after another landed on Wangya Island.

Thousands of civilian workers continued to land on Wangya Island.

Following the big move of Xuan Wu Mansion.

The situation immediately became extremely intense and heated.

Everyone judged in their hearts.

Something bad was going to happen. Something big was going to happen!

… …

Everyone was busy.

But the initiator, Shen Lang, was once again at ease.

The schemer needed to worry.

The most brilliant schemer didn't even need to worry about it.

The plan had been finalized.

The inescapable net had been laid, and the next step was to wait for the enemy to fall into it.

Shen Lang and Jin Mucong went into a frenzied rhythm of writing again.

Now, to Shen Lang, it could be said that everything was ready, and he was only missing the most important thing.

And this east wind was the she-devil Qiu Yao'er.

She became the most crucial figure in whether or not Shen Lang could seize Raging Tide City.

Jin Mucong's speed was really too fast.

In just a dozen days, he had already copied half of Journey to the West.

And he didn't know fatigue at all.

Because to him, copying books was just a process. He listened to the story and felt good about it. That was the end result.

In these few days of free time, Shen Lang waited for the enemy to fall into his inescapable net.

At the same time, he tried his best to indirectly please the she-devil Qiu Yao'er.

The entire book was written for one person. Master Lang had never fawned on a woman like this before.

However, at this time.

The spy that Shen Lang sent to Raging Tide City came back with a letter from Xu Qianqian.

Shen Lang opened the letter, but there was nothing on it.

He roasted it with fire!

Xu Qianqian's handwriting appeared.

Qiu Yao'er is critically ill and her life is in danger. Please come and save her. It's urgent, urgent!

Instantly, Shen Lang was shocked!

Qiu Yao'er was critically ill? Her life was in danger?

Was this the effect of the chronic poison from before?

But just from Xu Qianqian's words, Shen Lang didn't know what poison she was suffering from.

Next, Shen Lang had to make a difficult decision.

Should he go to Raging Tide City?

If he went, wouldn't it be too risky?

If he didn't go?

Would he let Qiu Yao'er die?

She definitely couldn't die now.

This was a risk, but it was also a good opportunity.

… …
