Chapter 12 Leaving Qianlong Island
On the morning of June 23, after the day of martial law and tense atmosphere ended at Qianlong Island, the first passenger ship leaving Qianlong Island at 6 am was packed with guests leaving Qianlong Island. After a few hours of sea travel, they arrived at a pier in Jinhai City.
After more than half a year, Zhang Tie set foot on this land again, and Zhang Tie's heart was filled with gloom, simmering with a strong anger.
On December 5 last year, he set foot on the land of Qianlong Island and entered Qianlongtang. After half a year of experience in Qianlongtang, Zhang Tie at this moment is completely different from when he first entered Qianlongtang. two
As Zhang Tie expected, the martial law and arrest operations of Qianlongtang and Changfeng Merchant Group on the island yesterday ended up with nothing, not even a single hair. Those who assassinated him seemed to have all died on the island. Underground, even if everyone knows that those people must have accomplices on the ground, there is nothing they can do.
Because when those people came to Qianlong Island, they were broken into pieces, and each of them entered Qianlong Island in batches with unrelated independent identities and small teams in twos and threes. The organization of those people was more rigorous than ordinary people As far as I can imagine, if there is a problem with any part, that part will automatically break away from the organization like a gecko's tail, and it will be difficult to get involved with other parts.
Under such circumstances, unless the Qianlongtang and the Changfeng Merchant Group can send troops to arrest and torture all the foreigners on the island after they have sealed off Qianlong Island under martial law, it is impossible to find out who belonged to those people accomplice.
As for arresting all the outsiders on Qianlong Island, even if the Changfeng Merchant Group has such strength, they would never do such a stupid thing, because there are tens of thousands of outsiders on Qianlong Island. People came from all corners of the country, and it would be very difficult to arrest all of these people, and it would definitely cause chaos.
Under such circumstances, the martial law and blockade on Qianlong Island was lifted after one day.
With the lifting of the martial law and the blockade, after a day of anxious waiting, Zhang Tie finally obtained the freedom he was looking forward to, the right to freely enter and leave Qianlong Island.
After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining a large amount of full-effect potions and allowing Zhang Tie to freely enter and leave Qianlong Island, the big shots of the Changfeng Merchant Group and Huaiyuan Hall decisively chose the former.
Of course, big shots are very particular about the way they do things, and they have to take into account all aspects of face. It is impossible to step on the rules of the Qianlong Party nakedly and unscrupulously for Zhang Tie alone. Therefore, At this moment, in the student files managed by the difference computer in Qianlongtang, if you have sufficient authority to view them, you will find that under Zhang Tie's personal code file, there is an extra string with Zhang Tie. Iron related quest information.
The content of the information is as follows:

Task guarantee measures: This task is the highest priority task. During the execution of the task, according to the wishes of the task executor, the principle of task uniqueness and exclusivity in the task guarantee clause can be exercised and other tasks can be refused.
Special Note: During the completion of the task, in order to complete the task, respond to various emergencies and protect the personal safety of the task performers,
Qianlongtang specially granted Zhang Tie the right to move freely. He can enter and leave Qianlong Island without restriction.
All of Zhang Tie's requirements, except that the family contribution points only provided 60% of Zhang Tie's requirements, the other big figures in the Zhang family met all the conditions proposed by Zhang Tie with a simple task assigned by the family. , and let no one find the loophole. Zhang Tie was satisfied, and the authority of Qianlongtang was also maintained.
For this, Zhang Tie couldn't think of any other adjectives besides lamenting the cunning and cunning of those great figures in the Zhang family.
So far, Zhang Tie has become the first Huaiyuantang family member in the history of Qianlongtang who can freely enter and leave Qianlong Island before completely completing the academic tasks of Qianlongtang.
Zhang Tie was free, truly free! This freedom is an adjustment of Zhang Tie's relationship with Huaiyuantang and the Zhang family, and it is also the beginning of Zhang Tie's determination to truly control his own destiny.
On the way back by boat, Zhang Tie has been reviewing and reflecting on his own gains and losses in the past six months since entering Qianlongtang. In the past six months in Qianlongtang, Zhang Tie has felt his rapid growth-the personal level has changed from five to five. After being promoted to the seventh level, the awakened family bloodline has completed an evolution, the iron-blooded fighting spirit has been successfully condensed, and the abilities of all aspects including diving have been greatly improved, but compared with these, Zhang Tie feels that his biggest strength is The harvest is to finally know and see clearly the path I should take in the future with the Black Iron Fort and the magical little tree.
The fastest shortcut to gaining power and status is not to be accompanied by a big tree or a thick leg, but to show one's own value and ability, to turn oneself into a big tree, to become a thick leg leg.
There was nothing wrong with the decision to come to Qianlongtang at the beginning. The only thing that was wrong was that I lacked a deep understanding of myself and my abilities. I didn't use my abilities to the extreme. My own self was not aware of such a problem—because of having the Black Iron Fort and that little tree, I was different from everyone else.
Where are these differences? I didn't think deeply about this question at the beginning, but in fact, if I think about it seriously now, I can quickly come to the answer. How many special things are there in the Black Iron Fort? There are as many differences as there are in others, as many kinds of fruits can be produced by the Manshusha Huananguo Ten Thousand Fate Precious Tree, and I have more avenues reaching the sky than others.
For example, this time when I was hunted down by that tenth-level bastard, my only ability to threaten that bastard was the arrow in my palm. Master Zhao Yuan said that although the arrow in the palm he threw had achieved the effect of sound strike, but the arrow in his palm The speed of the arrow in the air has just exceeded double the speed of sound, about Mach 1.2 to Mach 1.3. If you can increase the speed of the arrow thrown out of your palm to more than twice the speed of sound, then in the future you will be faced with When that kind of tenth-level guy is not only a threat, it is entirely possible to kill him with one blow.
Just like the path taken by the kinetic energy weapons invented by humans before the cataclysm, speed is the most terrible weapon for all people. Even if it is a copper plate, as long as its speed can reach more than twenty times the speed of sound, the lethality and destructive power brought by the momentum of this copper plate is also very terrifying.
It is almost impossible for others to double the speed of throwing or throwing an object in their hands in a short period of time, because the growth of a person's strength is gradual, but for himself, letting the arrow in his palm There is a shortcut for the speed above Mach 2, and this shortcut is the Seven-Power Fruit. If he eats nine more Giant Wolf Seven-Power Fruits, the speed of the arrow thrown out of his hand will definitely exceed twice the speed of sound.
Zhang Tie, who was sitting on the boat, had already decided that before he was promoted to the eighth level, he must find a way to make the arrow in his palm advance to become his real trump card. Under the blow of the arrow in the palm of the speed of sound, he was about to explode his head in an instant.
"Passengers, our passenger ship is about to arrive at the port. Please check and bring your luggage and belongings, and disembark in sequence through the gangway on the deck!"
On the passenger ship, the attendant in the cabin had repeatedly reminded the same words three times. After the three times, the hull of the ship arriving at the pier shook slightly. As the engine on the passenger ship turned off and several whistles sounded indicating that it was possible to disembark, Everyone in the cabin got up from their seats one by one and lined up to get off the ship.
Zhang Tie, who had kept his eyes closed since the boat sailed, opened his eyes until the people around him disembarked. disembarked.
The passenger ship is parked at a pier in Jinhai City. This pier is several miles long. There are various ships parked densely around the entire pier, including passenger ships, cargo ships, and fishing boats. In a place that looks more elegant, There are also two rows of white private yachts. Although Jinhai City is not as prosperous as Yiyang City, it is also a big city here.
At this moment, it was noon, the sun in June was hanging in the sky like a brazier, and the ground seemed to be on fire. Many workers and sailors on the dock were busy working in only a pair of shorts, dripping with sweat.
The fishery processing in Jinhai City is very developed, and there are many ice factories here. In summer, many people will go to the ice factory to buy some ice for small business. On the street outside the platform of the wharf ticket gate, Zhang Tieyi When I came out, I saw that there were small stalls selling iced juice tricycles and taxis and horse-drawn carriages waiting to solicit customers.
Most of the people who got off the passenger ship bought a glass of iced juice to relieve the heat.
Zhang Tie squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the crowd coming out of the ticket gate of the pier. Among these people, there may be accomplices who murdered his own people. If the martial law on Qianlong Island yesterday said that there is no pressure on these people Impossible, after the martial law is lifted, some people will definitely find a way to leave Qianlong Island today, but I don't know if there are such guys on the first passenger ship.
If it wasn't for his life being worth 10,000 times more than these guys, Zhang Tie really wanted to take off the cross-dressing mask on his face to see if anyone would see that his face would be a little abnormal.
According to what Fatty Tang De said, at this time, no matter what the expressions on the faces of those guys who see their true colors will be, as long as they stare at their pupils, the pupils will suddenly shrink when they see their own eyes. They are all people who know who they are and have bad intentions for themselves. The dilation and shrinkage of the pupils of a person's eyes at certain times will reveal a person's true inner emotions and feelings.
"Would you like a glass of iced mango juice? Six copper coins without ice, seven copper coins with ice..." On the side of the road, an elderly couple who were very clean and tidy were also selling iced water , Seeing Zhang Tie, the old man yelled at Zhang Tie.
"Two glasses, add ice!" Zhang Tie walked over and said in a slightly hoarse voice after the disguise.
The old lady quickly made two glasses of fruit juice for Zhang Tie, and added a few cubes of ice to one glass of fruit juice.
Zhang Tie drank the two glasses of fruit juice in one gulp, and then chewed and swallowed the ice cubes inside with his good teeth.
After eating two glasses of fruit juice, Zhang Tie felt that the anger in his heart was slightly lessened. He took out his hand in his pocket, and Zhang Tie took out a silver coin from the space of the Black Iron Fort without a sound. Zhang Tie directly Throwing the silver coin into the small barrel where the old man collected the money, he made a crisp sound, "You don't need to look for it..."
"Ah, thank you, do you want to drink two more glasses!" The old man said enthusiastically, there are a lot of high-end customers who came back from Qianlong Island, which is why the old couple sell juice here.
Zhang Tie shook his hand and walked towards those taxis. Seeing the tip of a silver coin left by Zhang Tie drinking juice, a steam taxi drove over quickly from the side and stopped in front of Zhang Tie. , a bald driver in his forties stuck his head out of the cab window, "Where is this brother going, I will see you!"
Zhang Tie glanced at the oily appearance of the middle-aged bald driver, opened the door and sat in the back of the car without saying much.
The driver looked at Zhang Tie's ordinary face in his twenties from the rearview mirror, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, brother?"
"Are you familiar with Jin Haicheng?"
"I have lived in Jinhai City for more than 40 years. My brother, you say that I am not familiar with you. I am not bragging. There is no place where I am not familiar with eating, drinking and having fun in the streets and alleys of Jinhai City!" the bald driver said.
While slowly starting the car.
"I lost my identity certificate in the Dragon Cave of Qianlong Island. I heard that without a legal identity certificate in Huaiyuan County, it is inconvenient to go to many places, and even accommodation is a problem. Therefore, I want to find someone who can Help me find a place to prove my identity, do you know such a place?" Zhang Tie said lightly.
Hearing this, the driver shrank his neck in fright, and shook his hands holding the steering wheel, "It's illegal to get an identity certificate from Huaiyuan County, and you might go to jail and lose your head. Things, I don't know such a place, you should find someone else!"
"I'm not from Jinyun Country and Huaiyuan County, and I don't want to get a fake identity certificate from Huaiyuan County. I just want to get a certificate that allows me to find a place to live here conveniently!"
The bald driver's complexion became better again, and his eyes turned twice in the car's rearview mirror, "If this is the case, I just know that there is a place in Jinhai City that can get you an ID card, but the travel expenses and consultation It may be a bit more expensive when the fees are added together, at least... at least one gold coin!"
Zhang Tie sneered in his heart, he really thought he was being taken advantage of because he didn't know anything, and it was just a fake certificate. At Heiyancheng Railway Station, those small advertisements for fake certificates were posted everywhere. It can almost be regarded as one of the oldest professions among the human race. In the words of that bastard Tang De, if you go to any city, the kind of old prostitute who can serve twice or even cover the whole night with one silver coin, as long as you are willing to give her two silver coins, there is almost nothing you can't find out.
"I'll give you ten silver coins. Don't talk too much about me. If you talk again, you'll only get five silver coins." Zhang Tie stared viciously, and cursed in a rough voice, "Damn, I really thought my money It was raining from the sky. Believe it or not, I got out of the car to find a woman. Two silver coins made the woman take me to the ground. One gold coin, one gold coin and ten false certificates were all obtained! You drive the train... ..."
The driver smiled slyly, "So you are also an expert, brother. I just made a slip of the tongue. Ten silver coins are ten silver coins. Calm down, bro..."
Half an hour later, just when Zhang Tie thought that the bald driver was going to take him to some dark and hidden corner, the driver brought Zhang Tie to a four-story house that looked a little old.
Downstairs of that house are several low-grade small restaurants, selling snacks such as seafood ramen and squid teppanyaki. signboard.
—The embassy of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun Kingdom.
Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Zhang Tie looked at the wooden signboard of the "Empire" embassy, which had been seriously peeled off, and then looked at the polished, copper "" signboard next to this signboard. "Wang Defu Squid Teppanyaki" snack bar's brand, I'm not sure if this is a spoof made by someone here.
Is this the virtue of an embassy of an empire? Damn it, the public toilets in Lingtian courtyard seem to be dozens of times more advanced than here.
Zhang Tie rubbed his chin slightly. Could it be that the taxi drivers in Jinhai City are so courageous that they dare to make this kind of joke with him? .
Seeing Zhang Tie's face slowly darken through the rearview mirror, the driver sitting in front quickly shouted, "This is really a place where you can apply for identity verification. If it's fake, it's really sacred here." The embassy of the Jinlanhua Empire in Jinyun Kingdom, I remember that there were two guards standing guard last time I came here, and the guards, why didn’t I see the guards today, could it be that they are going to take a nap at noon!”
Just when Zhang Tie couldn't help but want to get angry, a person popped out from the small noodle shop next to him, sucked a noodle from the corner of his mouth into his stomach with a snort, and looked around, "Who wants to get rid of it?" ID card? Who needs ID card?"
Then, seeing the taxi parked in front of the embassy, the man ran over at once, wiped the noodle soup stains from the corner of his mouth, and opened the back door of the taxi in a very professional manner, "Sir, you Do you want to apply for an identity certificate, Philip, the senior commercial counselor of the embassy of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun Kingdom, is very happy to serve you!"
At Zhang Tiechang's age, it was the first time he heard a non-Chinese person say the polite term "you" so formally.
