Chapter 335 Invitation

Splash!

The water surface suddenly broke open, and Zhang Yuan jumped out from the water.

He landed steadily on the boat.

He was holding a large box in his hand.

The wooden box was covered with copper. Due to being submerged in water for a long time, the surface showed signs of decay, and parasites such as algae and snails were attached.

Zhang Yuan put down the box and opened the lid casually.

I saw that it was neatly filled with large ingots of silver.

Although the surface of the silver ingots was blackened by water, it did not reduce their value!

This box of silver was at least five thousand taels.

Zhang Yuan had just salvaged it from a sunken ship underwater.

He returned to Jinsha Island with the box of silver ingots.

Back to the boat house where he lived, Zhang Yuan handed the silver box to Wang Wu: "Take it all and don't be afraid to spend money. I will find a few more boxes for you after you use it up."

In the past month or so, Wang Wu has been busy on Jinsha Island and its surrounding land islands.

He made full use of his advantage as a native of Damengze, relying on gold and silver to pave the way and weave a large network composed of many spies to find the whereabouts of the white wolf.

Although no useful clues have appeared so far.

But Zhang Yuan felt that the gold and silver were worth spending.

He did not bring much money with him when he came to Damengze this time, and could not support such a large expenditure.

But for Zhang Yuan, this was not a problem at all.

Damengze had been inhabited hundreds of years ago. The trade between the land islands and the outside world was all based on ship transportation. Over the years, there were countless ships sunk under many waterways.

Due to the strange existence underwater, not many people dared to attack these shipwrecks.

Especially in deep water areas, even the most daring fishermen dared not dive down - those who did not believe in evil had already died!

But Zhang Yuan was not afraid at all.

Relying on the extraordinary ability of the white dragon loach, his combat effectiveness underwater was even stronger.

So these shipwrecks naturally became Zhang Yuan's "piggy bank".

Of course, not all shipwrecks contain wealth. In fact, not many can be found with gold and silver.

But Zhang Yuan's search efficiency is high.

Last time he went to Linzhong Lake, he had close contact with a group of white dragon loaches and dreamed of turning into a dragon in the water.

Zhang Yuan found that his water nature had undergone some essential changes.

And he also derived new abilities.

Now his underwater perception level has increased sharply, as if he had installed the latest sonar, and the range and accuracy of the detection have been greatly improved.

The box of silver ingots that Zhang Yuan gave to Wang Wu was found in a shipwreck discovered a few days ago.

The location of this shipwreck is very deep, and most of it is covered with silt and aquatic plants.

It still can't be hidden from his detection.

And there are at least dozens of the same silver boxes in this shipwreck!

Wang Wu was full of admiration.

He is not a rookie, and he knows what the silver box is from as soon as he sees it.

Zhang Yuan's ability can be said to have refreshed his cognition again and again.

The man from the lower class nodded vigorously, feeling touched and guilty.

He spent a lot of Zhang Yuan's gold and silver.

As a result, he has not gained anything so far, and he feels very sorry for Zhang Yuan.

But Zhang Yuan not only did not blame him, but he did not hesitate to find more silver for him to "squander".

Wang Wu's determination to die became extremely strong!

A man will die for his friend, and being able to hold such a thick thigh is undoubtedly the greatest luck in his life.

Wang Wu's idea of ​​"digging out" the white wolf became more determined.

Suppressing the waves in his heart, he said to Zhang Yuan in a deep voice: "Sir, the recent situation is not very good."

Compared with more than a month ago, the situation on Jinsha Island has deteriorated significantly.

First of all, more people from the outer islands came here, causing the prices on Jinsha Island and several small and medium-sized land islands around it to rise further, and many people can hardly afford to eat.

What's worse is that the number of merchant ships coming to Jinsha Island has greatly decreased.

Merchant ships maintain the lifeline between the land islands. Without merchant ships to transport food and supplies, densely populated islands will find it difficult to survive for a long time.

Therefore, many people took risks, and theft, robbery, and murder occurred frequently.

Although the Jinsha Gang tried its best to suppress it and sent more patrols to maintain law and order, it could not fundamentally solve the problem.

The root cause was naturally the attack of the Nanman Wuqi tribe on Damengze!

At present, the warships of the Wuqi tribe frequently appeared in the waters near Jinsha Island.

They destroyed fishing boats, looted passing merchant ships, and even plundered several land islands on the edge of the Jinsha Island's sphere of influence.

Everyone believed that the Wuqi tribe would officially go to war with the Jinsha Gang next.

And those who were optimistic about the Jinsha Gang did not have an advantage.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

In this case, many people wanted to leave Jinsha Island again.

But this is easier said than done.

First, the price of merchant ship tickets has been rising steadily, and it has reached a point where ordinary people cannot afford it.

Secondly, even if you get on a merchant ship, you may not be able to leave Damengze safely.

Many people are reluctant to leave their hometown.

Some people are from Xiaxu, and they have committed crimes or offended others and are here to avoid disaster.

Wouldn't it be a trap to go back?

Wang Wu has spread his spies widely, and the various news he has obtained is much more and more accurate than what Zhang Yuan heard in the tavern and teahouse.

He can't help but feel a little worried.

"I know."

Zhang Yuan certainly understood the current situation. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Even if the Wuqi tribe attacks Jinsha Island, I have a way to take you away."

"Excuse me, is Master Chen Zi'an here?"

Zhang Yuan had just given Wang Wu a reassurance pill when a loud question suddenly came from outside the boathouse.

Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly fixed.

By switching to the perspective of the Red Eyed Crow, he found that a speedboat was approaching his home quickly.

A warrior wearing the uniform of the Jinsha Gang stood at the bow.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he went out to respond, "I am Chen Zi'an, what can I do for you?"

The warrior clasped his fists and saluted, then held up a letter with both hands: "Sir, this is an invitation letter from my gang leader, please check it."

As he said that, he suddenly shook his arms, and the letter flew out of his hand and flew to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed it: "Thank you for your hard work."

The warrior of the Jinsha Gang saluted again: "Your Excellency is too kind. I still have to continue delivering letters, so I won't bother you anymore."

After that, the speedboat he was riding turned around and left.

Zhang Yuan watched the ship disappear from his sight, and then opened the envelope.

The content of the invitation letter was very simple, inviting Zhang Yuan to go to the Juyi Hall of Jinsha Island the day after tomorrow morning.

To discuss the plan to fight against the Wuqi tribe.

And the inviter was Fan Tai, the leader of the Jinsha Gang!

The top leaders of the Jinsha Gang couldn't sit still.

Zhang Yuan took the invitation letter and didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise.

What he was thinking about was whether this matter would affect his search for the White Wolf!
