magicChapter 182  : Tang Wen is here (1)

“They’re more than happy to not earn money.

Actually, I’ve thought about it before.

There aren’t many merchant ships in Chu State, which means that ocean transportation hasn’t developed yet.

Cloud ocean sect’s business wasn’t doing well.

They were probably only transporting some daily necessities to the nearby islands.

The silver they earned still needed to be used to buy pills, weapons, and even flintlock cannons.

It probably wasn’t enough.

Therefore, when GUI Wusong offered three to four hundred thousand taels, they were only willing to offer one hundred and fifty thousand.

Cloud ocean sect has a few thousand people, but they’re so poor that they can’t afford a few hundred thousand taels.

This is our chance.

We’re their God of Fortune.

I’ll go over tomorrow and have a good talk with them.

” Tang Wen said.

“In fact, you could tell from the clothes they were wearing that day that they weren’t doing well.

They were basically wearing clothes made of local cloth, making them look like Pirates.” Luo Yiwu nodded and said.

In the afternoon, Tang Wen personally went to the dock and finalized the expansion of the dock with Zhan dongwen and the others.

Tang Wen found that the dock in town was only close to the town, and the location was not particularly ideal.

Moreover, the ground was not wide enough, and the extension was not deep enough.

It would cost a lot of money to expand.

Hence, he changed his mind.

They decided to give up on the dock in town and choose another location to build a deep – Water port.

Of course, the temporary dock in the town could be expanded to make it convenient for them to transport cement.

As for the pier that cloud ocean sect had built, it was pretty good for big ships.

However, it was too far from the cement factory.

It was estimated to be about 40 to 50 miles away.

How much would it cost to open a road? It wasn’t worth it.

Moreover, the pier was clearly used by Cloud Sea sect, so Tang Wen had to rent it from them.

After choosing the location, Zhan dongwen immediately arranged for a survey team to measure the road and the port.

On the other side, he also arranged for people to go back and transfer two hundred old workers over.

After all, the newly recruited people could only do some odd jobs, and they had to be brought along by the old master for more than ten days before they could get on the right track.

Tang Wen’s boat was handed over to the old masters, who had mastered the driving skills after two days of learning.

The next morning, Tang Wen brought Gu hanyan, Yan Beixing, and Luo Yiwu to Cloud Sea sect’s headquarters on horseback.

Fortunately, there was a road that a carriage could pass through, and they arrived in just over an hour.

However, as soon as they arrived at the Grand Valley, cloud ocean sect acted as if they were facing a great enemy and stopped Tang Wen’s group.

“Tell your sect leader that I’m here to discuss something with him today.” Tang Wen said with a kind face.

One of the few people guarding the checkpoint quickly ran to the headquarters and shouted from afar,”report ...

Report, Tang Wen is here.” Immediately, the sound of a bugle horn rang out from Cloud Sea sect.

The disciples of Cloud Sea sect ran out from all over the place in a frenzy.

They carried large blades and long swords, as well as fiery phoenix bows and armors, and swarmed towards the checkpoint.

The gathering Bell in the cloud Sea Hall rang, and the elders rushed into the hall.

Ximen taigao also quickly appeared in the main hall and asked,”how many people are there?” Great elder, immediately go to the checkpoint and organize a defense.

” “Only ...

Only four people came.” “Four people? Are you sure?” Lin Tianwei was stunned and asked fiercely.

“There are really only four people.” “Will the four of them be the cover while the others follow behind? It’s not easy for them to attack our headquarters?” Li Liufeng said arrogantly as he waved his fan.

“I don’t think so.

Our hidden sentries didn’t send any news.

No one is following us.” “This is strange.” Ning Xiaotian shook his head with a puzzled look.

“Audacious! Good, we can take him down!” When Lin Tianwei heard this, he slammed the table beside him and said.

“Alright, let them in,” Ximen taigao waved his hand, pulled up his robe, and sat on the big chair covered with seal skin.

“Those who come are all guests, I’ll go and welcome them.

We are Cloud Sea sect, we can’t be impolite and let him look down on us.” Wang haiting said.

“That’s good.

” Ximen taigao nodded his head.

“Cowardly!” Lin Tianwei muttered unhappily.

“Don’t tell me that you want us to fight, and in the end, both sides will be injured, and your family will be separated, and you will be homeless?” Wang haiting suddenly turned around and stared at Lin weitian coldly.

“I didn’t say that we can’t beat him.

It’s just that, why should we go and welcome a little brat? that would make us lose face.” Lin Tianwei said as he shrunk his neck.

“Since they are willing to come, and only four of them, it means that they are not here to fight.

I reckon that they are here to discuss the matter of heavenly Rock Island with us.

Moreover, this Island was indeed someone else ‘s, and they were in the right.

What did the military books say? this was called courtesy before force.

If the discussion didn’t go well, then he would use the knife.

At that time, it won’t just be a matter of a few words, but a river of blood and a field of corpses.

” Wang haiting finished and left.

“Your Excellency the Earl has come.

I apologize for not welcoming you.” Wang haiting saluted Tang Wen when he saw him.

“Lord count, this is Wang haiting, the great elder of Cloud Sea sect.” Ning Xiaotian introduced.

“Ning Xiaotian, the second elder of cloud ocean sect.” Wang haiting introduced ning Xiaotian.

“Your place is very beautiful!” Tang Wen replied with a smile.

“Hehe, back then, the Grand Master of the Xixi clan chose this place.

He had good taste.

After hundreds of years of forging, it has become what it is today.

It has not been easy for us.

” Wang haiting said.

“That’s true.

When we first came, we had nothing and were poor.

We basically started from scratch.

At that time, it was a deserted island with few people on it.

” Ning Xiaotian nodded.

The few of them entered the main hall while chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, many people in the hall looked at him with hostility, but Tang Wen was not afraid at all.

He walked to the guest chair with a calm face.

“Men, bring out the pig heads to welcome the guests!” Ximen tai suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, the bugle horns sounded.

Wang haiting frowned, but he shook his head helplessly and said,”Lord Jue, this is Cloud Sea sect’s way of treating our guests.” Three brawny men came up with three large silver trays.

On the first tray was a large pig’s head with a dagger that glinted with a cold light.

On the second tray was a wine jar and two large bowls, the kind that were as thick as basins.

The third tray surprised Tang Wen because the person on the tray was a strange woman with purple eyebrows and blue eyes.

She looked like a mixed – Blood European beauty.

“Sect master, the first gift is to invite this Lord to eat meat.

How can the meat go with wine? the second tray is red wine.

I know that there will be good wine when my friends come.

But what did the third tray mean? I’m rather surprised.

” Tang Wen turned around and asked.

“Lord Jue is an honored guest, so of course cloud ocean sect has to treat you with the most honorable etiquette.

The woman on the plate is our Cloud Sea sect’s saintess, her nickname is LAN Yun ‘er.

If Lord Jue can take her down, she will be rewarded to Lord Jue as a servant.

” Ximen taigao said.

“Sect master?” Wang haiting quickly asked.

“No need to be long – winded, this sect master has decided on this matter.” Ximen Tai’s face turned cold and he snorted.

“Alas ...” Wang haiting sighed.

“Your reward is too valuable.

I dare not accept it.” Tang Wen shook his head.

“You’re insulting our Cloud Sea sect’s Saint!” Lin Tianwei was instantly enraged.

He pointed at Tang Wen and roared.

“Hehe, we’re all Chu people, so we’re family.

There are some things that can be settled after discussion.

Why should we get angry? it’s not good for you and me, right?” Tang Wen smiled indifferently.

“Let’s not talk about rewards.

Lord Jue is the owner of the heavenly Rock Island, so I’ll just give it to you.

” Ximen Gaotai said.

“I don’t deserve this.

I don’t accept this gift.” Tang Wen said.

“Lord Jue, you don’t dare to take it.

First of all, can you take it?” At this moment, LAN Yun ‘er suddenly got up and sat on the cross – legged chair.

Her blue eyes blinked, and the White flowers embroidered with clouds complemented her blue dress, making her look even more enchanting.
