The Great Seminary

Chapter 142: Stealing the Heavenly Gang (Part )
Zhang Fushou ran closer, shouting, but pretended to have a secret and kept silent.

After pulling Zhang Gui into the shop, he lowered his voice and whispered:
"Brother Gui, Uncle Qitai, the head of our Pingyang Zhang family, has suddenly fallen seriously ill and is unknown whether he is alive or dead.

As a result, the ancestor Liuduo, who had become a monk, came back and took power again.

Aunt Yang said that although you are not in the clan now, you must know about such important events as soon as possible.

Let me come to Zhihai Town and tell you."

Now Zhang Gui relies on fleecing the slaves by fleecing the three cities of Giant Snake Head Xidao Civilization Vanguard, Meat Gold, and Sacred Ode.

The total number of True Dragon citizens has reached around 400,000.

And trained the first professional army of 1,000 people composed entirely of "Stone Corpse Soldiers".

He no longer takes the Pingyang Zhang family seriously.

Naturally, they don’t care much about who steps down and who takes over.

But my mother cares about his career and sent someone to report the news in a hurry. As a son, I can't pretend that I don't care.

Therefore, Zhang Gui showed a surprised expression.

"The New Year is coming soon, and it's really surprising that such a sudden change has happened in the clan.

Isn’t the Qitai clan leader only in his early fifties, and he’s always been in good health, so how could…”

As he was talking, he felt something strange in his heart.
"It seems that Pingyang Town has been in trouble in the past few days.

Tell me, Eminem, I already know the story.

Years ago, she brought her aunt and cousins ​​to Zhihai, where it was safer."

Zhang Fushou shook his head and said:
"Brother Gui, Auntie Yang said that now you are not only the dignified Dragon and Tiger General, but also the shogunate's 'Nine Islands Expedition'.

No one dares to mess with her in Pingyang Town.

Don’t worry about it.”

Hearing about the so-called "Nine Islands Expedition" that the True King camp had pinned on him, Zhang Gui couldn't help but frown, but then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After talking to Zhang Fushou for a few words, he sent him down to rest.

I continued to stay leisurely at the door of "Dagui Grocery and Sauce Factory", eating rolls and rice porridge, looking at the snow scene and thinking about things.

I do not know how long it has been.

Lu Zhenduan walked over from the direction of the old village headquarter in Zhihai Town, rustling on the accumulated snow.

When he saw Zhang Guihuan eating and drinking, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Hey, Lu Zaicheng is here. Have you had dinner?"

Zhang Gui caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye and greeted him with a smile.

"Yang Longhu, what are you running around for?"

Lu Zhenduan suddenly asked a deep question.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Gui asked unexpectedly.

"When we first met, I saw you eating noodles wrapped in shrimp paste in your shop all day long, and I thought you were a person who was seeking fame and reputation.

Later I felt that you were not a person who cared too much about face, and you talked a lot about seeking fame and reputation.

They think you might be a treacherous person.

But gradually I discovered that you are not greedy for money, and I think you are a person with great ambitions.

But in reality, you spend twenty days a month wandering around outside, and you delegate all your authority to others."

"Old Lu, why are you making these scholarly, whining comments again?

Can't you just say what you want to say directly? "

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenduan's face straightened and he said seriously:
"Yang Longhu, although you are not a bully but afraid of the strong, and you will never give up, you are actually a rare good person.

Coming from humble beginnings, he rose to a high position at a young age but he never acted arrogantly and treated his old relatives and friends the same way.

He had thousands of soldiers under his command, obtained fiefs, opened ports and accumulated wealth, but he only took a penny for himself and gave the rest to others.

These two things may seem common, but in reality, only one or two people out of a hundred thousand have these same thoughts. Is it because you haven't discovered what you truly want?

It was the first time that Zhang Gui was praised so highly by Lu Zhenduan from the Zhen Wang camp, and his words were so vague that he couldn't help but ask:
"Then what do I really want?"

"I can't say it all now, but at least one of them will be remembered forever."

Zhang Gui pondered the matter carefully, remembering that after he founded the True Dragon Kingdom, he had compared himself to the legendary Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the first great ruler of ancient Dongzhou. He nodded in conviction.

"Don't tell me, I've actually thought about it.

Lu Zaicheng, I didn't expect you to have such a keen eye for people."

Lu Zhenduan's expression became more serious after hearing this.

"As the ancients said, birds fly high with phoenixes, and people become noble when they keep virtuous people.

You love power but don’t covet it; you love money but don’t covet it.

Even if you have an inheritance, you might as well treat it as if you have nothing. You are wandering around everywhere. This shows that you have not met a wise master."

When Zhang Gui heard this, his eyes widened and he suddenly understood.

Lu Zhenduan spoke so enthusiastically, but it was actually just to "persuade surrender", which is really disgusting.

But it’s also the time and the situation.

Now, most of the work of King Zhen’s camp is dedicated to the construction of the nine islands of the Dongnei Naval City.

It is equivalent to preparing wedding clothes for Zhang Gui.

How could he not pay attention, so he twitched his lips but did not refute.

After all, there must be some special reason why this old scholar who fears the heat in summer and the cold in winter came to see me in the middle of the night in the snow.

Sure enough, after saying "Okay, okay" for a while, Lu Zhenduan saw that Zhang Gui was just listening without expressing his opinion, and finally lost his patience.

"King Zhen is planning to start a national war with the Wonsan forces on Xianrong Island.

Of course, a mere island foreign country cannot be considered a real national war, but if this war is won.

The myth of "Yuanshan Army is unstoppable" was broken.

The future ownership of the throne of our Ming and Song dynasties has become clear!

At such a critical moment, if you can give your all to help, your future will be limitless.

For example, the nine island cities of Tianmeng, Tianwei, Tianfu, Tianyou, Tiankong, Tianhui, Tianbao, Tianjing and Tianqiao are already more than half built.

The first season of melons, potatoes, rice and beans has been harvested.

Countless weapons and armors were forged, and three hundred thousand elite soldiers were gathered…”

"Zai Cheng, please wait.

For training, young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, six feet tall, with strong bones and physiques must be selected. They can choose to practice with long weapons, short blades, arrows and crossbows.

After three to five months of well-fed and hard-working, one can be called a "small soldier".

After that, they will be tempered in the battlefield for three years, without any injuries or disabilities, and can become "regular soldiers" by fighting and obeying orders.

As for the weapons and armor, regardless of the quantity, we can just open the "Heavenly Creations" on the iron ore and slowly make them.

But the soldiers can’t be used just by bringing them to the island.

If the entire army is destroyed, the people will blame me, the 'Nine Islands Expedition'."

This was so ironic that it made Lu Zaicheng angry, annoyed and speechless.

If he had waved his sleeves and said, "This boy is not worth discussing with," he would have walked away.

But now is an important juncture that will affect the ups and downs of his career throughout his life.

He was able to stand on the battlefield during the "Small Country War" on Xianrong Island between King Zhen's camp and the Wonsan Guards.

If King Zhen really ascends the throne in the future, he will have a heavy workload.

Always try your best.
