Chapter 10 Touch and Response
Zhang Tie's injuries were not serious. After leaving the Dragon Cave on the island, he did not return to the Qianlong Hall immediately, but went to the castle he was building under the protection of a group of masters from the Changfeng Merchant Group.
The people sent by the Changfeng Merchant Group to protect him actually wanted to join forces with outsiders to plot against him. On the territory of Huaiyuantang, Huaiyuantang's direct descendants were hunted down by a group of masters. There was a magnitude 10 earthquake.
So as soon as Zhang Tie came out of the ground, he unscrupulously released his battle spirit totem, because Zhang Tie knew that this incident was just the beginning, and a bigger storm was about to come. If this matter does not come to light, even if the Changfeng Merchant Group wants to stop, he will not be willing.
Although the Zhen family in Tianhan City, Langya County, Jinyun Kingdom is not comparable to Huaiyuantang, this family is also a powerful force that owns a city. What kind of tricks are behind the Zhen family in Tianhan City, who dare to cooperate with others? Zhang Tie's intuition told him that the reason why such a big family as the Zhen family in Tianhan City was pulled into such muddy water must be very appalling.
There are only a few people in total who know why the news that he can manufacture a large amount of medicine for the whole school leaked out? Why was that bastard Liu Xiang sent to protect his own safety? Just these two problems made Zhang Tie feel a deep crisis. This crisis did not come from the outside world, but from Huaiyuantang and Changfeng Merchant Group.
As the direct descendants of Huaiyuantang's Zhang family, Huaiyuantang certainly would not do the kind of thing that sells out the family descendants to gain benefits from outsiders, but Huaiyuantang is so big that it is like a kingdom. Scum and spies are nothing more than normal. This is unavoidable for anyone and no region.
What happened today touched Zhang Tie the most, not physically, but spiritually. Through today's incident, Zhang Tie found that since he came to Huaiyuantang, he had too much trust and trust in the Zhang family. Reliance, and it is this kind of trust and dependence that almost ruined himself.
Zhang Tie is also reviewing himself. After careful review, Zhang Tie has a clearer and clearer understanding of Huaiyuantang and his own positioning——the family is a giant ship, and he is only a member of this giant ship until now. An ordinary passenger sitting on this huge ship with a terrifying tonnage can indeed safely avoid some stormy waves and deep water areas, but there may also be some people with ulterior motives hidden on this huge ship. The rat that secretly gnawed at the plank of the giant ship.
If I rely too much on and trust the sense of security brought by this giant ship and lose my vigilance, maybe at some point, I may step on the board that was bitten by rats and fall into the sea or I was pushed from the back and fell down, just like today.
The best way is to build a boat by yourself. In an emergency, that boat can be used as your own lifeboat. If not, you can be the captain yourself, and go wherever you want, so as not to be led by the nose.
Zhang Tie, who left the Dragon Cave on the island, figured out these things in a short period of time. He was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he had already made a clear decision on what to do in the future—to make his own It's time for the full-effect potion and gold coins in your hand to gradually become your own strength.
A group of people quickly came to the foot of Yunju Mountain near Bailong Town from the Dragon Cave on the island. The girls from Zhixing Academy came here with Zhang Tie on the way because they wanted to go back to Qianlong Hall.
"Several junior sisters, let's separate here, the life on Qianlong Island is not peaceful, and the world will become more and more chaotic in the future.
Today someone is chasing and killing me on Qianlong Island. I don’t know what will happen in the future. No matter where you are in the future, you should pay more attention to it. Don’t think that you are a descendant of the Zhang family. Or in-laws can sit back and relax! "When he was separated from the girls, Zhang Tie gave the girls a serious expression with rare seriousness.
Several girls felt the concern and kindness in Zhang Tie's words, and each of them was slightly moved.
"Aren't you going back to Qianlongtang with us?" Qu Liangying asked curiously.
"I won't go back..." Zhang Tie smiled, and pointed to the huge building on the mountain behind him that has completed the construction of the main building, "I will live here most of the time in the future, if you have anything, you can come here to find I!"
"Ah..." Looking at the majestic and majestic castle on Yunju Mountain, Lu Shasha looked at Zhang Tie and asked innocently, "You...you found a job here to earn money as a guard ?"
Because the cooperation between Zhang Tie and the Changfeng Merchant Group is still in a semi-secret state. Before a large number of full-effect medicines are produced, neither party has any publicity about it, and they have kept silent together. Therefore, when it arrived At this moment, more than 99% of the people in Qianlongtang do not know that the 30,000-square-meter castle built on Yunju Mountain is actually Zhang Tie's.
Lu Shasha's words made Zhang Tie depressed a little bit, Zhang Tie rubbed his face with some scratches and bruises, and deliberately looked at the innocent and curious Lu Shasha with a tigerish face, "Why, brother, I look like that Like a coolie, not like a rich man, can't he build a castle for himself?"
"Do you know how much it costs to build a castle?" Guo Miaolu stared at Zhang Tie with a tone of complete disbelief, "Every penny we spend on Qianlong Island can only be spent on the island. Use this kind of lie to deceive the little girl, no matter how much you sell the potion, you can't make so much money!"
"In the past, I really didn't know how much it cost to build a castle, but now I know that the total construction and decoration cost of the castle above is 460,000 gold coins!" Zhang Tie smiled indifferently, spreading At this time, I didn't even bother to argue with a few little girls, "Maybe in a few days, you will be able to see my name on the top of Qianlong's wealth list!"
"Liar!" Du Yuhan curled her lips. The 460,000 gold coins in this era are a terrifying amount wherever they are placed. The money, when converted into gold, weighs 11.5 tons. One can imagine its value. Those senior brothers with the richest net worth in Lingtian Courtyard heard that having 100,000 to 200,000 gold coins is already very impressive. Zhang Tie is not lying.
"Haha, I lied to you as a puppy!" Zhang Tie didn't explain, he just laughed casually like a joke, then waved his hands with a few girls smartly, and separated from them.
After leaving the innocent little girls in Zhixingyuan, Zhang Tie's face became completely serious. With a sullen face, he came to the castle in Yunju Mountain without saying a word.
Liu Gong, who was directing the construction of the castle, saw the appearance of Zhang Tie who had just been separated from him for a few hours, and then looked at the masters of the Changfeng Merchant Group around Zhang Tie who were facing a formidable enemy. Was taken aback.
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I was plotted against and hunted down!" Zhang Tie's tone was very flat, but what he said made people shudder. "The room in the castle is cleaner now. I will live here tonight!"
After what happened today, Zhang Tie, who knew that Changfeng Merchant Group and Qianlongtang might not be safe anymore, just wanted to find a clean place to stay and plan and think about what he would do in the future. Under this sense of potential crisis, he instinctively felt that staying in his own place would feel safer.
"The cement and steel molds in the castle hall have just been dismantled this afternoon, so it's still clean!" Liu Gong replied. At this moment, once Zhang Tie no longer has that casual and gentle smile on his face, his whole body will be more radiant. There was a cold but dignified breath, which made people dare not neglect at all.
"Well, I'll take a rest in the hall of the castle!"
Zhang Tie walked into the outer fort of the castle while talking. After passing through two walls, several arrow towers and a castle square filled with various building materials and equipment, he came to the hall of the castle. among.
In the castle hall at this moment, the concrete and steel molds have just been dismantled, and together with those pillars and walls, it is gray and white everywhere. On those concrete walls, there are traces of thin steel molds, which looks very Although the simple hall has not been completely completed, it has already revealed a noble and grand momentum.
In the entire castle hall, there are two rows of huge pillars with several people hugging each other, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters and a height of more than 30 meters. On the top of the hall, there is a beautiful octagonal dome that can already see the complete outline. It can be imagined here Future luxury.
The construction workers removed the cement and steel forms here in the afternoon, so in the hall at this moment, there are still some brackets made of steel pipes and a small amount of steel forms stacked on the ground.
Zhang Tie randomly found a pile of steel molds piled on the ground, and did not dislike the dust on them. All of a sudden, he straightened his waist in the posture of a big horse with a golden sword, pressed his knees with both hands, and sat majestically. on top of a pile of steel molds, and then closed his eyes.
The masters of the Changfeng Merchant Group who came here with Zhang Tie saw Zhang Tie's appearance, and immediately guarded Zhang Tie's surroundings and the door consciously, and asked people to light up the lobby brightly.
The people of the Changfeng Merchant Group on Qianlong Island have already sent out the news of their assassination and the mutiny of the people sent by the merchant group to protect them. Therefore, Zhang Tie is waiting, waiting for the Changfeng Merchant Group to give him an explanation—— Why did the person sent by the business group to protect him plot against him? Why did the fact that he was able to manufacture full-effect potions on a large scale leak out?
The assassination of the students of Qianlongtang on Qianlong Island was a big incident. A person in charge of Qianlongtang hurried over with a group of people less than ten minutes after Zhang Tie arrived at the castle, and asked about Zhang Tie. After passing by, he took people away in a hurry and went directly into the Dragon Cave on the island to verify what Zhang Tie said.
After that person left, several towns and docks on Qianlong Island suddenly became under martial law, and the atmosphere on Qianlong Island suddenly became tense.
Two hours later, the second batch of masters and principals of the Changfeng Merchant Group finally arrived at Yunju Mountain with several large airships... If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
