Chapter 118: Sudden Death (Part 1)

Dock area.

A huge lighthouse, over thirty zhang high and over three zhang in diameter, which had just been completed, stood in the center.

Originally, because the tower body used local materials, all were stone materials from Xuanzhi Mountain, so it was all black.

But now, because two huge red silk flags hung down from the tower top to the tower bottom, wrapping black with red.

Under the shining of the scorching sun, they vaguely emitted a flashing red light.

And on the two huge flags, the left side was painted with the totem of the Ming Song Kingdom, the five-clawed green dragon.

The left side was written with big golden characters, 'Receiving Heaven and Following Orders, Suitable for the Local Area, Inspecting What is Guarded'.

It was exactly the most important part of the Nine Bestowments, the 'ceremonial equipment', the flag number.

On the sea surface beside the flag number, a huge, incomparable crimson dragon fish crouched in the water.

Looking closely, one found that it was actually a large ship, but the shape was just imitating an object.

The fast ship Zhang Gui was riding stopped into the berth.

Looking up, he stared at the dragon fish giant ship for a long time without moving.

He thought silently in his heart: "What does this mean?

Just a moment ago, it was the productivity level of an ancient feudal society with a slight supernatural style.

Now you immediately give me the shock of supernatural cyberpunk!

With this thing, why not directly counterattack Xianrong Island to avenge the sacrificed countrymen, and waste time running here to me."

Zhang Jiujiang saw his little friend's dull appearance and said softly:

"Mr. Lu Yu once said in his book:

'The waves are wide and mixed, the wall color is treacherous, Ming Song's heavy weapons in the sea are no more than nine red dragon fish'.

And this is one of them.

At a glance, is it 'liver and gallbladder shaking violently, spirit difficult to guard oneself'."

Zhang Gui came back to his senses, "More than liver and gallbladder shaking violently, I almost peed my pants.

Zhang Jiujiang, you kid is too bad.

Such a marvel ran to my doorstep, and you didn't mention a word to me earlier.

You clearly wanted to see me make a fool of myself."

Zhang Jiujiang forced a smile and said: "I wanted to let you be shocked and understand the power.

I was in a hurry when I went back to the countryside to find you last night. I will go to apologize to the teacher first.

I will come back to find you later."

At this time, Li Yunbo, the Fifth Rank Zaicheng of the Zhihai Mansion, received a report from the tax clerks and knew that Zhang Gui had returned, so he ran over panting.

Zhang Gui nodded to Zhang Jiujiang, jumped off the ship, and greeted him,

"Old Li, run slowly, don't hurt your tendons and bones."

The two met.

After Li Yunbo saluted, a look of being like joy and like bitterness appeared on his face, and he said loudly:

"Great joy for the Lord.

Prince Zhen has established a 'residence' in our Zhihai Town.

We are truly honored."

"That is natural." Zhang Gui immediately answered in an even louder voice.

Then, while whispering with Li Yunbo, he walked toward the place where the crowd gathered on the commercial street.

Although the volume of Prince Zhen's fish-dragon mechanism ship was equivalent to the aircraft carrier of Zhang Gui's previous life.

But stopping at the Zhihai Town dock, which had met 'good times' and was constantly expanding, it still only occupied more than a quarter of the territory.

The remaining berths were full, and they were all still merchant ships.

The coastal market was still full of merchants doing business.

It was just that Zhang Gui, who was wearing casual clothes, suddenly became less eye-catching and less noticeable when he appeared beside them.

The reason for this is like Zhang Gui's previous life, when he was a small local leader whose level was prefecture-level but whose actual scale was a town.

Usually, wandering around the commercial street on his own territory, he would appear extremely eye-catching in the eyes of the common people.

But one day, a member of the political bureau arrived at this place and stayed.

At this time, the common people were still those common people, but the attention of the vast majority of people would be attracted by the bureau member.

Even if he didn't appear, it wouldn't continue to stay on Zhang Gui.

Because a mere local leader, in front of a bureau member who might even reach the top in the future, was just an ant like the common people.

The only difference was that one was big and one was small.

But no matter how big an ant is, it is just something to be stepped to death with one foot, what is so great about it?

Few people will remain sober and understand that the difference between a big ant and a small ant in front of a bureau member is indeed not big.

But comparing ants with each other, a big ant can still easily make things difficult for a small ant.

So from the perspective of a small ant, how could there be no difference?

So when Zhang Gui appeared in the market, there were still merchants who recognized him immediately and still saluted properly.

Some even had more solemn manners.

Zhang Gui didn't care, returned the salute casually, and put all his attention on Li Yunbo's words.

As a result, he was surprised to learn that Prince Zhen didn't use a single soldier from his mansion at all.

And from beginning to end, he had never summoned him, this Dragon Tiger General.

That is to say, he treated him, this Fourth Rank local official, as if he didn't exist.

And Li Yunbo didn't seem surprised at all.

Accompanying Zhang Gui to stop at a newly opened sweet water stall, hiding under the shade, he said softly:

"My Lord, this Prince Zhen can stand out at this time, which proves that he may go further in the future, and is unimaginably noble.

It is only natural that his posture is lofty and he does not allow closeness.

Let's put it this way, if we go up to rely on him, he may not necessarily accept it.

But the more this is the case, the more you cannot be angry and lose your sense of advance and retreat.

No matter how strong, how prosperous, and how ancient your bloodline is, you must never defy such a noble person.

If I weren't truly on your side, I would never say such things."

Zhang Gui sighed, didn't answer first, and called the stall attendant for two bowls of iced fruit.

Waving his hand, he said: "Old Li, I know what kind of person you are in my heart.

Don't worry, I know what kind of goods I am.

In the eyes of the common people, maybe the timing is good, the grass snake turns into a big python, it's amazing, it's incredible.

In reality, in front of truly big figures, it's just like an ant.

It can be crushed to death casually.

So unless I'm crazy, even if I'm cold-shouldered, I won't challenge Prince Zhen."

Li Yunbo didn't know that Zhang Gui was afraid that the strong men accompanying Prince Zhen had the ability of clairvoyance and clairaudience to monitor his words.

And deliberately kept his words tight.

Thinking that his superior, who had high ambitions, had lost his spirit, and was afraid that it would be unfavorable for his future cultivation, he hurriedly changed the subject:

"My Lord, you don't have to be so discouraged.

Casting aside family background, you are not necessarily worse than anyone else.

At sixteen or seventeen, without resources or teachers, you secretly learned to become a 'Ding Superior' cultivator; how many are there in the whole Southern Kingdom?

Not to mention that you also have the one-in-ten-thousand Divine Cong power, tsk tsk tsk, let me say a bold word.

Under the same circumstances, Prince Zhen is not even one-ten-thousandth of..."

Although Li Yunbo's voice was finally pressed like a murmur, Zhang Gui still covered his mouth fiercely.

"Silence, never speak recklessly!"

The words fell, and he felt Li Yunbo's breathing stop abruptly.

Clearly the previous breath was still hot and spraying on his palm, but the next breath was gone.

"Old Li, Old Li..."

Zhang Gui hadn't felt the feeling of his head 'booming' and reality being like an illusion for a long time.

But he still made the most correct reaction in the first time.

Laying Li Yunbo flat.

Pressing his heart with one hand and opening his mouth with the other.

Urging the main divine cong 'Water-Fire Harmony' in his body, hot steam sprayed from the pores of his right palm and poured into Li Yunbo's throat.

At the same time, he shouted sharply,

"I am the Dragon Tiger General of Zhihai Town, everyone disperse quickly!

Are there any personal guards on duty on the left or right? Go quickly and invite a doctor to save his life, quick, quick, quick, quick!"
