I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: The opportunity has come (1)

Mei niansu came to deliver food a few times, but when he saw that Tang Wen was still sleeping on the bed, he didn’t dare to disturb him. He could only quietly leave. Wen Jinyuan was a very dutiful bodyguard, and he silently guarded the door. Except for going to the toilet and eating cornbread for every meal, he never left except when he changed shifts with Hanzi Niu. Tang Wen finally woke up after a day and a night. Mei niansu immediately busied himself with bathing, changing, and eating. Who would have thought that this girl was actually a rank -2 master? “Niansu, you’re an expert now. Have you ever considered doing something else?” Tang Wen asked. “I won’t consider it!” Mei niansu shook his head without even thinking. “Can’t you do something else? For example, I can arrange for you to be in charge of a Hall. ” Tang Wen said. “I’m just in charge of the old master’s daily life. I won’t think about anything else in this life. When I’m strong enough, I’m going to take revenge. ” Mei niansu said. “Don’t be blinded by hatred. There’s more than just hatred in this world. If one’s eyes were fixed on hatred, one would find that life was gray. If you open your heart, you will feel the sun shining brightly. Of course, this didn’t mean that you would forget your hatred. He had to take revenge, but he had to enjoy life. Otherwise, what’s the point of living?” Tang Wen said. “I know. I’ll slowly change. Oh right, GE Zi Yun is back. ” Mei niansu nodded. “Ask him to come over.” Tang Wen said. Not long after, GE Zi Yun came in and said,”master, you’re right. There are indeed many iron mines on Black Rock Island.” “Did you get it?” Tang Wen asked. “That’s a bit difficult. Black Rock Island is different from other islands. This Island belongs to two villages, the heavenly Dragon Village and the earth Tiger Village. It was said that the Black Rock Island used to be a deserted island. A few hundred years ago, two families moved to the Black Rock Island. One of them had the surname Li, and the other had the surname Lin. The Li family’s ancestor was called li Shijin, and the Lin family’s ancestor was called Lin zhengting. They occupied the West and East of the island respectively. The two families had been together for a hundred years, but they started fighting over territory. More and more people died. In order to strengthen their own strength, the two clans kept recruiting outsiders. Some of the Pirates who had no food to eat joined the two families. Of course, most of them were refugees. After a few hundred years, the two families had actually grown to a few thousand. After a period of rest, the two families were probably recuperating. Not long ago, a mountain collapsed after a storm, and a large amount of iron ore was discovered. The battle started again, and the scale of the battle grew bigger and bigger. The number of deaths on both sides reached several hundred. The patriarchs of both sides realized that if this continued, both sides would suffer heavy losses and all of them would die. Therefore, he reported it to the officials. However, the government was dispatching troops to fight the sun nation, how would they have the time to care about them? Later, the two families invited cui Jindong, the boss of the Qing gang in Jiangzhou, to mediate. Cui Jindong brought a group of people to Black Rock Island to mediate, and the situation also eased for a while. But now, they were fighting again. When cui Jindong saw this, he felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t do anything about it, so he decided to just ignore it. ” GE Zi Yun said. “Of course, gang leader cui wouldn’t care after he earned the money.” Tang Wen said. “That’s true. The two families spent more than a hundred thousand taels to train him, but it seems like it’s all for nothing.” GE Zi Yun nodded. “Cui Jindong’s strength must be extraordinary. He’s the local tyrant of Jiang state capital. Why can’t even he mediate?” Tang Wen was a little surprised. “Of course. Cui Jindong is at least a complete rank -2. Moreover, he has a large group of subordinates, no less than five thousand people. Besides, cui Jindong is very well – connected and is familiar with all the Yamen. Even the people of Linghai have to give him face. ” The Tang Army soldier said. “It’s useless! Those two families are not simple. ” GE Zi Yun shook his head. “What do you mean?” Tang Wen looked at GE Ziyun. “Those two families are martial arts families. It seems that they moved away from the mainland and moved to Black Rock Island to avoid their enemies. The Black Rock Island was not a hundred miles away from the land as they had said. In fact, it was four hundred miles away. Otherwise, the iron ores would have been bought by the rich. ” GE Zi Yun said. “There might be someone stronger than cui Jindong in the two families. So, cui Jindong must have been threatened and left.” Tang Wen said. “If they wanted to threaten cui Jindong, why did they invite him first? We’ve even spent more than a hundred thousand taels of silver, isn’t this a waste of money?” Wen Jinyuan, who was standing behind him, asked in confusion. “I don’t understand either.” GE Zi Yun shook his head. “Hehe, don’t listen to cui Qiu’s side of the story. I’m thinking that it might not be their families who invited cui Jindong over. ” Tang Wen smiled. “What’s he going to do if I don’t invite him?” GE Zi Yun was startled and asked. “He wants to make money. What kind of person is cui Jindong? he’s got his eyes on both the black and white sides. As long as he could make money, he wanted to get involved. Therefore, when he heard about the fight between the two families, he brought his men over. It was obvious that they wanted to extort some money from him. In the beginning, the two families gave him some face. After all, he was the Overlord of the ridge sea. However, in the end, he quit. The experts of the two families warned him. Cui Jindong saw that this was not going to work and could not extort anymore. Otherwise, you might end up getting yourself into trouble, and you’ll have to leave with your tails between your legs. ” Tang Wen said. “Master’s inference makes sense. It’s possible that cui Jindong failed to steal the chicken and even lost some rice, losing money instead.” Wen Jinyuan nodded. “Ziyun, what do you think of the overall strength of their two families?” Tang Wen asked. “Their abilities are still so – so. Most of them are rank -8 or rank -9. Rank -5 is extremely rare. Cui Jindong has brought quite a few middle rank -4 martial artists with him, why would we be afraid of them?” GE Zi Yun was puzzled. “This is strange.” Wen Jinyuan touched his chin and was also confused. “The sects are divided into inner hall and outer hall.” Tang Wen said. “That’s right, don’t tell me they are also divided into inner and outer villages. You only see the outer village fighting, their elites are all in the inner village. The inner village is also fighting in secret. Maybe cui Jindong found out something and was so scared that he quickly withdrew. ” Wen Jin Yuan said. “If that’s the case, we have even less hope.” GE Zi Yun shook his head. “Why is there no hope? hehe, think about it, did they report to the government when they moved to Black Rock Island hundreds of years ago?” Tang Wen said with a smile. “If it was to avoid revenge, why would he be willing to report it? Wouldn’t we be walking right into a trap?” GE Zi Yun shook his head. “That’s right. So, that Island was originally a deserted island. Since it’s a deserted island, it’s ownerless, and ownerless things belong to the official family. ” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Master’s intention is for us to start with the government and take down this Island first. Later on, you can train him as the master, just like how you would settle the dispute on heavenly Rock Island. ” Wen Jinyuan was indeed smart. “Right! I’ll go find Lord Xiao now and see if I can get the island first. At that time, I’ll be the owner of the island. Let’s see what they say? No matter what, the initiative is in our hands. ” Tang Wen said. “They’re in need of silver, so we can buy them. ” Wen Jinyuan nodded his head. “Lord Xiao has returned to the capital,” The Tang Army said. “Return to the capital?” Tang Wen was stunned. He looked at the Tang Army and asked,”why did you return to the capital?” “Recently, the battle in the ridge sea has been tense. The higher – ups seem to blame Lord Xiao for not cooperating well. On the other hand, our great Chu is in a war with the sun nation, and we’ve been forced to retreat. The Navy was all taken back to the important cities, and the coastal villages were all ignored. The sun nation was closing in step by step, and they had already closed in on the coastal villages and towns. Some of the villages and towns had already been occupied by them. On the Northwest side, the great Qin Kingdom was even more ferocious, and their attacks were like a tide. Being attacked from both sides, great Chu could not hold on any longer. If the Imperial court is in chaos, I’m afraid that great Qi and great Yan will also launch a pincer attack. If that happens, great Chu will be doomed. ” The Tang Army said. “So, Linghai province is in urgent need of a capable person to take the position of Governor and cooperate with the military to command the battle?” Tang Wen said. ” 80%.” The Tang Army nodded. “Don’t you think this is an opportunity for Wan Hansong?” Tang Wen said. “Wan Hansong is a master, this is a great opportunity for him.” Wen Jin Yuan said. “Hahaha, there’s a pillow after you fall asleep. Alright, I’ll go pay my respects to Lord Wan now. Jinyuan, niansu, you two come with me. ” Tang Wen said as he stood up. Wen Jinyuan personally drove the carriage, while Tang Wen and Mei niansu sat inside. However, on the way, Tang Wen thought for a while and told Wen Jinyuan to drive the carriage to the Yamen of the Military Command Center. Jiang Xuan was busy at the moment. When he saw Tang Wen, he immediately put aside his work and sat down to have tea with him.”How is it? I heard you went to Red River City?” “He went. He just came back.” Tang Wen sat down. “I say, little brother, you have to be mentally prepared.” Jiang Xuan said with a serious expression. “Oh? Are you going to conscript my people?” Tang Wen asked. “This can’t be helped. The Yamen of the military chief sent an order a few days ago. Governor Xiao said that the defense in the province was also heavy, so he couldn’t be transferred for the time being. What was the result? Xiao shenguo was sent away. ” Jiang Xuan said. “You sent Xiao Sen away just to transfer my men?” Tang Wen was stunned. He didn’t expect that he would be so important. “Of course, the Linghai Academy played a part in this. They wanted to kill you. Of course, there was another more important reason. Linghai’s battle was not very effective, and someone had caught hold of Xiao shenguo’s weakness and retaliated. In any case, the matters in the Yamen were complicated. Little brother, you should be prepared. Like I said, just let your men die, you have to live. ” Jiang Xuan was genuinely concerned about Tang Wen. “It seems like Xiao shenguo won’t be able to come back.” Tang Wen said. “I’m 80% sure. He even took his family away, so he definitely knows that he won’t be able to come back. In fact, I think he also wants to take the opportunity to escape. If they couldn’t defend Linghai, he would have to go to the guillotine. He might as well take the opportunity to leave. At that time, at least he would be able to keep his life. Besides, he had been in the mountains for a few years now. It was time for him to move. If it was a province without war, it’s worth it even if we suffer some losses. ” Jiang Xuan said. “Doesn’t that mean that Sir Wan has a chance?” Tang Wen said. “Hope! I don’t think that’s possible. ” Jiang Xuan said. “Why is it impossible? Lord Wan is an expert. Didn’t you say that he’s one of the top experts in the entire Linhai region? If he steps forward now and defeats the sun nation’s scoundrels, wouldn’t that be a great merit?” Tang Wen said. “What’s the use of him alone? also, he’s not strong enough to take the position of provincial governor yet. ” Jiang Xuan shook his head. “Rank -2 is not enough? Could it be that he wanted a rank one to be the governor? A Governor is only a civil official, isn’t the requirement too high? How many rank -1 provincial governors do we have in great Chu?” Tang Wen was stunned and asked.
