Zhuge Qing and Qing Yu went out, only Teng Qingshan and the others were left in the courtyard.
"On June 12th, new recruits will be recruited, so in a few days, the eight weakest centurions will be determined. Brother Qinghu, I am very worried about you." Zhuge Yun teased with a smile, but Teng Qinghu He was full of confidence, "Young Suzerain, in a few days, the competition will start, just look at it!"
"Oh?" Zhuge Yun turned to Teng Qingshan in surprise.
Teng Qingshan also showed a smile on his face.
I know best my cousin's strength, he can't beat the best of the centurions, but there are still some in the upper middle class.
…
In the days that followed, there were rounds of competitions between the centurions and corporals within the Black Armor Army, and the competitions between masters made the school grounds very lively. As for Teng Qinghu, as a corporal, he was promoted to a centurion. Naturally, many centurions thought he was a soft persimmon.
Therefore, at the beginning of the competition, someone challenged Teng Qinghu.
But Teng Qinghu relied on the vicious and insidious two moves of 'adding fuel to the fire' and 'taking chestnuts out of the fire' to win the three centurions in a row very simply. The centurions immediately understood that this Teng Qinghu was not easy to mess with.
*****
In the summer evening, it is very hot and dry.
Ji Hong, who was still dressed in black, came outside the study of the suzerain 'Zhuge Yuanhong'. As soon as he reached the door, a voice came from the study: "Second Master, come in."
Push the door and enter.
Zhuge Yuanhong was holding a piece of paper and looking at it.
"Sect Master, what's the matter with you looking for me so urgently?" Ji Hong asked.
Zhuge Yuanhong smiled lightly: "The ninth son of my good friend 'Zhu Tong', please ask me one thing."
"Zhu Tong, our God of Wealth Zhu from Yangzhou?" Ji Hong was a little surprised. Yangzhou salt merchants and Yuzhou merchants are the most famous in this world. And if we say, which businessman is the most famous in the world for countless years, it is undoubtedly the 'Fan Li' Fan God of Wealth who was the richest man in the world more than 3,000 years ago!
Of course Fan Li died long ago.
But in today's world, the most famous person is undoubtedly 'Zhu Tong', the first salt merchant in Yangzhou. If it is said how much money Zhu Tong has, it is estimated that few people can tell clearly.
Zhu Tong's father can only be regarded as a small businessman. And when Zhu Tong was ten years old, he opened "Fengyang Restaurant". In just three years, Fengyang Restaurant has spread almost all over Yangzhou, earning him a lot of money. With this foundation, Zhu Tong began to gradually penetrate into various industries.
Zhu Tong has a rule in doing things.
Step by step, only one industry at a time, and only after success in one industry will we enter a new industry.
Over the past sixty years, Zhu Tong has had endless wealth.
The worst part is...
This Zhu Tong, who can be called the 'God of Wealth', is a born strong man himself. While expending a lot of energy in doing business, he was able to become an innate strong man. Even Zhuge Yuanhong was amazed and admired!
There are too many people who worship 'Zhu Tong' in this world.
"Zhu Tong's hometown is in the sphere of influence of Qinghu Island. What's the matter, his son didn't ask Qinghu Island for help, but asked us for help?" Ji Hong asked suspiciously.
In the face of Zhu Tong, who can be called the "world's richest businessman", even Gui Yuanzong must be treated seriously.
"Haha, this God of Wealth, his talent in business, I am afraid that few people in history can compare with him, but he has no choice but to have endless money!" Zhuge Yuanhong laughed, "He has sixteen sons. That's all for the daughter, marry outside, and put some dowry on it, but the son is difficult. He is very smart as an old man, and he has sixteen sons, all of them are very good. How can Zhu Tong's endless wealth Points? Everyone wants to fight to be the head of the Zhu family!"
Ji Hong suddenly laughed: "Dividing the family property? Haha... Interesting! There are big sects that compete for the suzerain, and his Zhu family also has a dispute for the suzerain!"
In a big family, there must be only one son who will inherit the position of the head of the family. Once the position of the head of the family is inherited, he will almost own most of the property.
And the other sons can only get a little bit.
Of course, as far as Zhu Tong's property is concerned, even if it is small, it is already a lot.
But how many of those sons can be content? Human greed is terrible. Even if you say you are not greedy, how many people have hundreds of millions of wealth in your heart, don't you care
"Sovereign, Zhu Tong is born strong and has a very long lifespan, so don't worry about it." Ji Hong said.
"People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries! Moreover, this God of Wealth is no longer interested in making money. He is going to devote himself to studying martial arts, so he has to choose an heir." Ji Hong said, "His sixteen sons , everyone is very smart. Then Zhu Tong made a rule, give their sons a sum of money, ten years, whoever earns the most after ten years will be the head of the family!"
Ji Hong sneered and said: "This method is quite stupid. Then Zhu Tong, isn't he afraid that some sects will intervene in his family's dispute and secretly support a certain son?"
"Stupid? A god of wealth who can earn millions of taels at the age of ten is stupid. There are no smart people in the world." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled lightly.
Ji Hong couldn't help being embarrassed.
Indeed, who in the world would dare to say Zhu Tong is stupid? Even if Zhu Tong really did something stupid, some people would definitely say that Zhu Tong did it with some deep meaning, which ordinary people can't understand.
"His ninth son, what are you doing, suzerain?" Ji Hong asked suspiciously.
"He asked me to send some experts to help him protect a shipment!" Zhuge Yuanhong said, "The hire price is one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
This price, please go to Yuan Zong master, it is not high.
"Sovereign, do you agree or not?" Ji Hong asked.
Zhuge Yuanhong nodded: "I went to visit Zhu Tong back then, and I met his sixteen sons, all of whom were ruthless characters. His nine sons were more popular, and he was a cheerful young man who seemed confused, but In fact, the scheming is very deep. I have a feeling that the future head of the Zhu family should be one of Zhu Tong's eldest son, ninth son and thirteen sons."
Zhuge Yuanhong's wisdom, who in the land of Kyushu does not know
"It won't do us any harm to help him." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled lightly, "Have you seen the centurion contest a few days ago?"
"Yes, I've seen it." Ji Hong nodded.
"Have you seen the marksmanship of Teng Qingshan's cousin 'Teng Qinghu'?" Zhuge Yuanhong said.
"Huh?" Ji Hong was a little surprised, "That Teng Qinghu has two powerful moves, one is violent and fierce, and the other is weird and sinister, what's the matter? But I, Gui Yuanzong, don't seem to have the marksmanship."
"Let me remind you again, I once gave Teng Qingshan a copy of "Fire Spear Jue"." Zhuge Yuanhong said.
"The "Fire Spear Jue" for Teng Qingshan? I have read "The Fiery Spear Jue" too. It has ninety-nine and eighty-one moves, and its power is average." Ji Hong hesitated, and then his eyes lit up, "Sovereign, what do you mean He, Teng Qingshan, used that spear tactic..."
Zhuge Yuanhong nodded: "Every move in "Fire Spear Jue" is average in power, but Teng Qinghu's two moves, I am sure, were created from the fusion of "Fire Spear Jue"! However, that Teng Qinghu's strength is mediocre, and he only learned Two moves. I estimate that Teng Qingshan himself combined his understanding of "Fire Spear Jue" to create more than two moves. Moreover, the power of that move should be greater than that of Teng Qinghu!"
Zhuge Yuanhong's eyes were vicious, and he guessed the tricks Teng Qinghu used in the centurion contest.
"Here, combining "Fire Spear Jue" to create even more powerful marksmanship? Moreover, in just a few months, this..." Ji Hong shook his head and smiled wryly, "I still can't believe that Teng Qingshan has reached this level!"
"Second Master." Zhuge Yuanhong said.
Ji Hong bowed slightly.
"This time, I'll leave it to Teng Qingshan to protect and deliver the goods for that Ninth Young Master 'Zhu Chongshi'! Let him choose two more centurions and two ten-man squads from the Black Armored Army!" Zhuge Yuanhong said. He said with a smile, "One hundred thousand taels of silver, I sent Teng Qingshan to lead the team, and that Ninth Young Master has earned it."
"That Ninth Young Master, I will send a message and ask him to lead someone to wait at the north gate of our Heijia Army barracks early the morning after tomorrow." Zhuge Yuanhong added.
"Yes." Ji Hong took the order, and Ji Hong quickly left the study.
Zhuge Yuanhong looked in the direction of the Heijia army barracks: "In just a few months, you can achieve this level of marksmanship! My evaluation of you before is still low! It seems that soon after I return to Yuanzong, there will also be a man of the same name!" He is a genius listed in the "Hidden Dragon List" and "Earth List"."
…
Returning to Yuanzong, no one can be ranked in the "Qianlong List", and there is no one in the "Earth List".
One has to be on both lists.
It is equivalent to saying that before the age of thirty, one must be able to be listed in the "District List"! This condition is too harsh. There are too many people in this world. Naturally, there are many people with talent and perseverance. Zhuge Yun can only be regarded as a genius of Yuanzong. In the whole Yangzhou, there are people with more talent than him, let alone the whole It's Kyushu.
Being able to be listed in the "District List" and "The Hidden Dragon List" at the same time will be famous throughout Kyushu.
*****
Morning exercises, on the school field.
Teng Qingshan, who had just received an order from Ji Hong, stood in front of a battalion and said coldly: "Century Du Hong and Teng Qinghu, each of you choose a ten-man team under your own command, and set off with me tomorrow morning. Go to Chu County!"
According to the commander's order, I have to choose two centurions. Du Hong is the oldest and most experienced. This time, with myself among them, my cousin 'Qinghu' can also be trained. Therefore, these two centurions were chosen.
"yes!"
Du Hong and Teng Qinghu bowed to accept their orders, and immediately selected a team of ten under their command.
"I didn't expect that I just came back soon, and I didn't have time to see the recruiting, so I have to go out!" Although Teng Qingshan thought so, he was looking forward to it in his heart. Chu County is in the northernmost part of Yangzhou. It's nearly two thousand miles away, because you have to hold the goods, and you can travel two hundred miles a day, which is not bad.
"Brother Qingshan, go to Chu County?"
Du Hong and Teng Qinghu walked over and said in a low voice.
"Well, to help escort the goods, Lao Du, is there any danger on this road?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"It's a big business to ask our Black Armored Army to escort the goods! It's a lot of trouble. Moreover, it's nearly 2,000 miles from our Jiangning County to Chu County, and we have to pass through the most chaotic Xuyang County in the middle! The danger is unavoidable. " Du Hong frowned.
Teng Qingshan looked to the north.
Danger
Teng Qingshan is not afraid of any danger, he came to this world and has been in Jiangning County, finally he can make a good living.
"This trip, we have to take a good look at the strength of the masters in the world." Teng Qingshan expected in his heart, he is not easy to kill in Guiyuanzong, but outside, he is the leader. When the time comes to break out the real strength and fight those masters, it will not be difficult to hide the few people around you.
"Go get ready and rest well. We will set off tomorrow morning. This round trip will take four thousand miles." Teng Qingshan ordered.
