Dahan Pirate Air Force

Chapter 398 Crossing the Long River

Zhang Bai learned through Mu Mao that the Zhao family was frightened by the explosion in Mingguang Palace this time.

They were afraid that Zhang Bai would play this trick again to retaliate against the Zhao family, and they also learned that Zhang Bai had just taken charge of the new army and knew that they could not compete with him, so they began to reduce their inventory to avoid continued conflicts between the two sides.

So taking this opportunity, Zhang Bai was busy buying back grain for two days in a row. On the one hand, he prevented the price of grain from falling too much, and on the other hand, he spent the extra money he had.

Grain prices have finally stabilized, and the secret money and grain war has come to an end for the time being.

Zhang Bai's central bank has made a lot of profits. The originally empty warehouse is now full of grain and wine, and the treasury is full; a large amount of silk is transported on a spaceship to the West, and huge profits are just around the corner; even on the books, hundreds of other companies The amount of money and gold and silver produced has also increased greatly compared with before.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhuge Liang learned the star technique and hydrogen bombs, although he was not very proficient yet.Zhang Bai only drew a small tattoo for Zhuge Liang to store hydrogen gas.Because he was afraid that he would make too much noise during practice and disturb too many people.

Seeing that everything was settled in Chengdu, Zhang Bai said goodbye to everyone and returned to Wuxian County through the magic of stars.

When he first arrived in Wu County, the first thing Zhang Bai did was to free a group of servants trapped on the Dream Prison Island.

This group of people was kidnapped inexplicably. On the island, Zhang Bai sent out smoke watchers every day, wearing masks and disguised as bandits, and appeared on the island to deliver food to them.

The servants were convinced that they were being kidnapped. They begged countless times, saying that they were just Zhang Bai's servants and asked the king to show your respect. They also asked about Zhang Bai's situation from time to time.

However, Wang Yanke only made threats and never mentioned anything else.

Before Zhang Bai was about to release them, Wang Yanke appeared on the island again, tied up these people one by one, blindfolded them and knocked them unconscious.

When they woke up, they found that they had left the island, and their third young master, Zhang Bai, was helping them untie their ropes one by one.

They were so happy that some of them even cried. Firstly, they were finally out of danger, and secondly, the third young master was fine. If something happened to the young master, even if he could escape, he would still be punished.

The servants were grateful and quickly asked Zhang Bai if he was okay, how he escaped from danger, and who the robbers were.

Zhang Bai made up a lie, saying that the robbers were Shan Yue, and how he could remain calm in the face of danger, and how he raised a large ransom for them, and then escaped completely.

After making up lies, Zhang Bai warned everyone not to leak these things to the outside world, because if they were leaked, these servants would definitely be punished.

The servants were greatly moved by the master's consideration for himself. They thanked each other profusely, swore an oath, and agreed to keep secrets.

However, the trip was delayed for several days in a row, and the lost time must be regained.

Zhang Bai made a lot of money in Chengdu, but most of it was worth hundreds of dollars and could not be used in Wu. Before leaving, he found someone to exchange for a lot of gold and silver.At this time, he took out the gold and silver and asked the servants to buy horses and prepare to speed up the journey to gain time.

But there is a shortage of horses in Jiangnan, and you can't buy them no matter what.In the end, they had no choice but to get a donkey each, and Zhang Bai rode his own horse, forming a donkey and horse team, and hurried to Lujiang.

Because they were in a hurry, they didn't have time to stay overnight. They walked as long as they could during the day. They ate dry food when they were hungry, drank spring water when they were thirsty, and slept in the wild when they were tired. Therefore, they arrived at their destination in just three days.

Shucheng in Lujiang became famous because the Zhou Yu family lived here.

Everyone knew about the Zhou family in the local area. Zhang Bai and others asked along the way and found the Zhou family easily.So, he quickly handed over the famous assassin and asked to see Zhou Jun.

Housekeeper Zhou welcomed Zhang Bai into the house and politely stayed in the outer courtyard to entertain him.

The housekeeper accompanied Zhang Bai and talked for a while, and then he realized that Zhou Jun had left Lujiang for Jianye a few days ago, saying he was going to meet some old friends.

Zhang Bai quickly asked which old friend it was?The housekeeper couldn't tell clearly, only that he was from the north.

Zhang Bai asked a few more questions, but couldn't see the point, so he changed the subject and chatted about other things. He asked the housekeeper to say hello to the masters and young masters of the Zhou family. He also asked for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and left a letter for Zhou Jun. He stood up, saluted and left.

Because of the hard journey, Zhang Bai decided to stay in Shucheng for one night so that everyone could have a good rest.

That evening, Zhang Bai took a servant and walked around the city for a while, and found the largest restaurant in the area for dinner.The restaurant has two floors. Zhang Bai chose a seat near the window on the second floor. The two of them ordered some food and drinks and ate and drank.

At this time, suddenly a group of followers came upstairs, hugging a young master, shouting and making a lot of noise.As soon as he went upstairs, the young master immediately ordered people to drive away the guests on the window seat one by one.

The embarrassed hotel manager had no choice but to bow his hands and apologize one by one.

The guests who were kicked out didn't seem to be surprised, but they could understand the shopkeeper, so they left their seats without saying anything and moved to the seats near the back.

When it was Zhang Bai's turn, his servant changed his face and wanted to get angry, but Zhang Bai stopped him.He also gave up his seat with a smile, followed the example of others, and moved to the inner seat, looking like he didn't care at all.

The young man was so proud that he drank and ate meat with a group of friends, played guessing games and made a lot of noise.

Zhang Bai remained calm and just listened with his ears raised.His hearing is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he can clearly hear all kinds of loud whispers in the restaurant.

It turns out that this young master is Zhou Yin, the second son of Zhou Yu, the second master of the Zhou family in Lujiang.

Listening to the whispers of the kicked-out guests, Zhou Yin was usually a dissolute man, addicted to wine and sex, and was a well-known local playboy in Shucheng. This restaurant was a place he often visited.

Zhang Bai then paid attention to Zhou Yin and eavesdropped for a while, but all he heard were sensual and lewd things. Zhang Bai couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart and was about to leave.

Suddenly I heard something interesting.

"Second Master, after dinner, where are you going to have fun today?"

"Just the same as yesterday."

"You are really obsessed with that oiran."

"She is so good-looking. She has a curvy figure and slender limbs. She is unforgettable!"

Everyone laughed wildly!

"But you've been coming home late every day these days. If the big boss finds out, you'll be scolded again." Someone worried.

"You have no eyesight and you want to say annoying things when you are happy." Zhou Yin said angrily.

"My elder brother was summoned by Lord Wu and went to Jianye. It seemed that he wanted to discuss some important matter. He also took away his arrogant cousin. Otherwise, how could I be so comfortable and have so much time at my disposal? Joy, it’s best they never come back.”

A group of people laughed again.

After the quarrel lasted for most of an hour, these people finished their food and wine and left noisily, seemingly looking for fun.The restaurant finally became quiet, and the shopkeeper and the guests breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Bai sat aside and pondered. It turned out that Zhou Jun followed his cousin to Jianye, the capital of Wu.

"Would you like to go to Jianye too?"

Zhou Jun went to the capital of Wu State with Zhou Xun, the head of the Zhou family, so would they know Sun Quan?So if I do a show of operation, will I also have the opportunity to admire Sun Zhongmou's style?
