Chapter 137: Marvel Reappears

Zhihai Town Pier 'First Spring Comes' vegetarian restaurant.

The business, which was originally full, had its guests leave in an instant.

After the merchants and commoners all rolled away, the boss chose the brightest seat and respectfully led Zhang Gui, Shen Shijing, and Lü Zhenduan to sit down.

As the host, Zhang Gui took out a small silver ingot from his sleeve and flicked it with his thumb.

"Boss, this is compensation for delaying your business.

Serve a few delicious dishes.

I remember Mr. Shen loves the bean sprouts and millet porridge here.

Serve a thick bowl first."

"Yes, yes, yes." The vegetarian restaurant boss caught the silver and hurried down to prepare.

Shen Shijing said clearly upon hearing this:

"I didn't expect Caiyang Longhu to still remember what I love to eat; thank you."

The words were soft, but there was a bit more distance.

You must know that Zhang Gui and Shen Shijing seemed like strangers, but Shen Shijing had privately shown favor several times.

Even Zhang Gui's heart demon was derived from her reminder.

And at that time, she also called Prince Zhen the culprit who caused Zhang Gui's heart demon.

So when they met again, even if he felt Shen Shijing was a bit like a white lotus from his previous life, Zhang Gui still showed enough kindness.

As a result, he didn't expect that Prince Zhen's unexpected rise seemed to make Shen Shijing look at him with new eyes.

Feeling that she had found her 'dominant president'.

So Zhang Gui chuckled and said: "Mr. Shen is my brother's teacher, which means she is my elder.

Treating her with care is what I should do; money can't buy what you love.

Zaicheng Lü, Mr. Shen is now Prince Zhen's guest, you are Prince Zhen's classmate, so you should be of the same generation.

The two of us are also of the same generation.

It equals each counting their own, hahahaha..."

These words had no flaws, but were hidden with mockery, making Shen Shijing feel indescribably angry in her heart.

And when she was a teacher in the academy, those true students didn't want her to be a generation higher.

Now, this guy Zhang Gui, who had nothing to do with her, insisted on being her junior, and she couldn't refute it.

It was even more suffocating.

Lü Zhenduan on the side didn't know the past private friendship between Zhang Gui and Shen Shijing.

He thought Zhang Gui saw the ambiguity between Shen Shijing and Prince Zhen, and immediately shamelessly acted as a junior, thinking with emotion in his heart:

"Previously, I only saw this Zhang Gui's methods were ruthless and his abilities were mysterious; he secretly killed more than ten traitorous generals the night he returned to Zhihai Town.

Killing people without waiting for the night.

I thought the rumors of him rising by flattery and writing blood letters to serve the king were false.

Only now do I see his true shameless color; he is truly able to bend and stretch; can't compare, can't compare.

Ordinary people can't compare even if they are shameless; it is already a kind of talent!"

Just like this, Zhang Gui, Shen Shijing, and Lü Zhenduan each thought their own thoughts, speechless for a while.

Waiting for the clerk to send the vegetarian dishes and thick porridge.

Shen Shijing said coldly:

"Prince Zhen actually doesn't know that Caiyang Longhu has returned to Zhihai Town; the words were passed to Zaicheng Lü."

Zhang Gui nodded very understandingly upon hearing this.

"Now Prince Zhen's business is big, so he naturally won't take the small Zhihai Town to heart.

If he doesn't know I'm back, he doesn't know.

In short, 'If it benefits the country, I will die for it; why should I avoid it because of misfortune?'

As long as it is for the country and the world, it is the same to whom the words are passed.

If you need my help, I will definitely help with all my strength."

Lü Zhenduan's eyes lit up.

"What a good 'If it benefits the country, I will die for it; why should I avoid it because of misfortune?'

It will definitely spread throughout the world in the future.

I didn't expect Longhu to have such a breadth of mind!"

Although literature has no first, martial arts has no second.

But no matter which world, famous sentences that can spread through the ages must have their soul-shaking power!

Even Shen Shijing's expression changed slightly.

"It is my lack of breadth of mind.

I accept the teaching!"

She originally wanted to avoid Zhang Gui and communicate with Lü Zhenduan first, and then talk about other things.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to eat some vegetarian food first.

Now she changed her mind because of a single sentence.

She directly took out a light golden box of three inches square from her sleeve.

Lü Zhenduan, who was ignorant, looked at the box a few times with curiosity. A face of confusion.

Zhang Gui, however, was shocked in his heart and secretly thought:

"Isn't this 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things'!

It is just much smaller than the marvel I used to create the Shishi Capital, and the depth of the color is different.

But the shape and feeling are absolutely 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' without a doubt."

"Do you know what this is?"

Lü Zhenduan shook his head upon hearing Shen Shijing's question.

"It looks like a treasure, but my knowledge is shallow, and I can't recognize what it is."

"What does Caiyang Longhu think?"

"It should be the 'Jiezi Xumi Treasure Box' for transporting military supplies; it looks small but can hold grain, grass, gold, and silver like a mountain. Mr. Shen, rest assured, now the trade in Zhihai Town..."

"This is the marvel 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things', made by Song Yingxing, a great craftsman who shook the world more than three hundred years ago...

Although this thing ranks at the end of the thirty-six Heavenly Spirits, ranking 'Heavenly Craft'.

Master Song rated it as 'Class Bing Flat', but it can still open a 'Lower Suspension' once a year.

According to the ancient rules of our Dongsheng Continent, three thousand households in a lower county, the land of villages and fields, multiplied by ten...

Calculated this way, it can open up a lower county that can accommodate 165,000 people..."

Shen Shijing was impatient with Zhang Gui's nonsense and explained the origin of the golden box in her hand.

Lü Zhenduan's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes stared unblinkingly at the 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' in Shen Shijing's hand.

"Mr. Shen, what do you mean by bringing such a treasure to see us?"

"There is a nameless island more than ninety-seven or eighty li southwest of Zhihai Town, with a circumference of more than a hundred li.

There is a soil mountain rising in the center, and a water pool on the mountainside; a small group of pirates once built a stockade around the water source.

But because it was difficult to get water, it didn't amount to anything, and the stockade was abandoned."

Speaking of this, Shen Shijing stopped talking.

She meaningfully picked up a few bean sprouts with chopsticks and ate them with relish.

With Lü Zhenduan's brain, he could naturally hear the subtext of this woman who was almost equal to Prince Zhen's special envoy.

But he really couldn't figure out Prince Zhen's intention in doing this.

Looking at 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things', and then at Shen Shijing, who was no longer moving, he finally had to turn his gaze to Zhang Gui.

They had been together for a long time.

Although he was still very displeased with Zhang Gui, he had to admire his ability and insight in his heart.

But this time, because there were too few clues, Zhang Gui didn't guess Prince Zhen's intention either.

He was just greedy for the 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' in Shen Shijing's hand.

So regardless of anything else, he said very diligently:

"Mr. Shen means that Prince Zhen wants to use 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' to build a city on that nameless barren island, right.

Since that island is less than a hundred li from Zhihai Town, I will definitely help with all my strength."

"Don't you want to ask why?"

Shen Shijing, who originally wanted to be a riddle-maker, asked in surprise.

Zhang Gui bowed toward the direction of Xianrong Island naturally upon hearing this,

"Prince Zhen is working day and night for the country and the people.

Since it is his arrangement, there must be deep meaning in it.

As long as it does not contradict the 'Current Emperor's' decree, we will just do it."

Such awareness left Shen Shijing speechless.

For a while, she lost the interest to reveal the answer.

She took back 'Heavenly Craft Opening All Things' into her sleeve,

"Since that's the case, you prepare first.

First mobilize one hundred young and strong soldiers, and provide them with grain and grass for one month..."
