The Great Seminary

Chapter 139 Who is the Big Winner (Part )
Standing at the berth, looking at the huge Western-style alchemy merchant ship in the sea.

Zhang Gui, who felt that he was being driven by a new era, said goodbye to the shareholders of Joseph and Kadika Cotton and Linen Garments.

Walk quickly out of the dock and return to the old village hall, now the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate.

He summoned Ding Chengqi, the right minister of the shogunate, and said that he had an idea and wanted to go to the depths of the Xuanzhi Mountains to practice in seclusion for a period of time.

All military and civil affairs of Zhihai Town were entrusted to him.

The 'Right Prime Minister' was already the third-ranking official in the shogunate, but in theory he was only in charge of military affairs.

But the second-in-command, Lu Zhenduan, was a subordinate of King Zhen, and Zhang Gui had worked hard to sideline him, so it was naturally impossible for him to delegate power again.

Ding Chengqiye understood this, so he stood below and nodded politely.

But in my heart I secretly complained.

"It is true that the higher the rank, the more powerful the official.

I was bored staying in the fiefdom of Zhihai Town and wanted to go out and relax, and I had to find some reasons.

Give some advice to my subordinate.

But even if you were in town, you wouldn't have spent any time doing anything except eating and drinking."

Although he was convinced by Zhang Gui, he was willing to die for him.

But smart people always have their own opinions.

In ancient times, it was common for many loyal ministers and generals with both talent and insight to serve their lords with all their might while submitting letters of remonstration to denounce their mistakes.

It’s just that Ding Chengqi and Zhang Gui are not very familiar with each other yet, it hasn’t reached that stage yet.

Zhang Gui didn't know what Ding Chengqi was thinking, so he kept talking nonsense for a long time. Finally, his face became serious.
"Chengqi, you don't need to pay attention to Lu Zhenduan.

But if King Zhen gives the order, we must do our best to complete it.

Understand? "

"Don't worry, General, I know the ins and outs of this.

Lu Zhenduan is Lu Zhenduan, and His Royal Highness Prince Zhen is His Royal Highness Prince Zhen.

Your Highness seems to have a destiny, and may be the future crown prince of our Ming and Song people.

Whatever he commands, we will do our best to serve him!"

"It seems that the difference between the soldiers of Zhihai Town and the people of Zhenlong is really impossible to eliminate.

Even though their loyalty is at its peak, because of their different perceptions of me, one is the supreme founding emperor, a rare wise ruler;

One is a fourth-rank opening general of the barbarian tribe who has great autonomy and can appoint low-ranking civil and military officials on his own, but he is only a minister.

Compliance can make a huge difference.”

Zhang Gui heard this and thought to himself:
"In the future, if there comes a delicate moment, such differences must be taken into consideration."

Seeing him in a daze, Ding Chengqi, who had other things to do, became a little anxious.

He hesitated and said:

"Longhu, Longhu, do you have any other instructions?"

"No more, go ahead." Zhang Gui came back to his senses and smiled.

Ding Chengqi bowed and retreated.

Zhang Guize in the hall returned to the backyard and was about to teleport to the Giant Snake Head Island when suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart.

It seemed as if there was an extra piece of God's kingdom on earth for no reason.

I didn't expect there were such beautiful things in the world.

Zhang Gui suddenly widened his eyes and sensed it carefully.

It was discovered that the newly added territory was also located in the East Inland Sea. Although it could be sensed, the connection between them was not as close as that between the Giant Snake Head Island and Zhihai Town.

This kind of thing is nothing compared to the "trade gateway between the coastal ports of Dongyue Province in the Ming and Song dynasties and the western ocean hub cities". It is much more important.

Zhang Gui hurried back to the dock of Zhihai Town.

Regardless of the consequences, he mobilized a small warship of 100 tons and sailed into the vast East Inland Sea.

three days later.

It was all thanks to Zhang Gui standing on the deck and relying on induction to point out the direction.

The warship sailed westward, and finally a large island came into view.

Zhang Gui knew that he had finally found his destination, and he waved his hands in shock.
"That's the deserted island we're looking for. Let's anchor ashore!"

Although small seagoing vessels were fast, their tonnage meant that even unloaded warships could only be manned with a hundred guards. Furthermore, Zhang Gui wasn't going out to sea to fight, so it was impossible for him to be fully loaded with soldiers. The entire ship had less than ten sailors.

When sailing, I couldn't even get a full shift, and I didn't know where my destination was, so there was no hope.

Although the time at sea was not long, I was very tired.

Hong Zhengji, the helmsman and boatswain, heard the general's order and stopped the ship and went ashore.

His stern face finally showed a hint of relief, and he shouted loudly:

"Following the order from General Longhu, we are docking on the island..."

At this moment, a figure jumped out from the sea and shouted in a loud voice:

"Hold on, hold on.

Are you saying this ship is the flagship of General Longhu, Lord Yang?"

The man had light green skin all over his body, which looked like scales but had no shape. However, it looked very hard, probably comparable to leather armor.

My feet are surrounded by a small wave and I am standing in the air.

He carefully looked at the hundred-ton warship in front of him, with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Yanglonghu is very wealthy, how could he use such a small ship as his flagship?

Don’t cling to others randomly…”

Just by looking at his appearance, Zhang Gui could vaguely tell the man's origin. He activated the divine cluster 'Kui Shou Po Tian' and transformed into a giant of eight feet tall.

"The man who came is a brother from the Daohai Gang.

Come and see if I am the Dragon Tiger of Zhihai Town."

With such obvious characteristics, Qingpi Man naturally stopped talking nonsense.

He saluted on the crest of the wave and said proudly, "I am Zhenyong Xiaguan, and I have met Liyang Longhu in person.

But the Daohai Gang is gone.

I am currently working for His Royal Highness Prince Zhen, as a clerk for the Baifan Trading Company, Jiasanzhou.

Zhang Gui's eyes turned when he heard this, and he had a guess, but he smiled calmly on the surface and said:
"White Sail Trading Company, White Sail Trading Company.

I remember that I was a very important figure in Baifan Trading Company.

Your surname is Guan, and you can transform into the true form of a 'shrimp' in the sea.

He should be Brother Xihui’s son, right?

It was he who strongly invited me to join Baifan Trading Company.

It’s only been a year now, but it feels like a lifetime ago.”

"The Green Shrimp Demon is my cousin." Guan Zhenyong showed a somewhat stiff expression on his face.

He must have known about the half-true, half-false relationship between Zhang Gui and Guan Xihui.

He made a look at Zhang Gui and suddenly raised his voice and asked:
"I wonder why you are here, Yang Longhu?"

"I heard that King Zhen wanted to select a few large islands in the East Inland Sea to station troops and build a city, so I went to the sea to take a look.

Open your eyes. "

Zhang Gui was a little confused and made up a reason.

Unexpectedly, Guan Zhenyong seemed to have thought of something. After waving his hand and releasing an arrow, he lowered his voice and said:

"Yangyang Longhuguo is no ordinary person, he found the place in just three or four days.

Go left for less than a mile and you will see black reefs and a natural pier.

Large ships cannot stop, but small boats weighing less than 300 tons are not a big deal.

You can moor the boat there, drop anchor, and then go to the island."

"Okay, okay, thanks for the advice."

Zhang Gui nodded gratefully, suppressed his inner doubts, and walked left for a while according to Guan Zhenyong's instructions. Sure enough, he encountered a black reef.

There is a depression in the middle of the rock, which happens to be a deep water harbor.

The boat docked.

Zhang Gui ordered Hong Zhengji, who was driving the boat, and the other sailors to stay on board and wait for orders.

Flying to the island alone.
