Chapter 133 Gold Million
In order to murder Zhou Jin, the shark soldier Liu Zhengyun set up a killing game in three tests of Zhou Jin's jumping to the armored soldier. Zhou Jin broke the killing game. After the test, Liu Zhengyun suffered heavy losses. When Zhou Jin returned to the reserve camp to get his luggage, he met Xiahou Kuang who came to provoke him. Zhou Jin made extraordinary moves and simply defeated the opponent.
Zhou Jin noticed Qiu Wenwei's departure, and he couldn't help but sigh that the chances of people's rise and fall were really unpredictable. The martial arts realm of the head of the Qiu family stagnated and the Qiu family was completely defeated. Even if Qiu Wenwei joined the scaled shark guard, the increase was limited. But no one expected that Qiu Wenwei would be attracted by Wu Junhou, the leader of the ten elders, and his future prospects would suddenly shine brightly.
But Zhou Jin didn't envy this, and each had his own chances. From then on, there were fewer meetings. He thought about it here, but frightened the guards of the camp whom he had just called. These guards hurriedly ran out and shouted: "Young Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou, you can't fight anymore. If you fight again, you will die. The Xiahou family can't afford to offend!"
When they shouted, Zhou Jin reacted and couldn't help but wonder why the other party came to the door and caused you a lot of losses just now, but now you are still protecting him.
The warrior who was guarding the gate asked Zhou Jin, relying on his familiar face, came over and explained with a dry smile: "Young Master Zhou, you don't know that this Xiahou family can't afford to offend this Xiahou family. Xiahou Ba's brother Xiahou Ba is known as the strongest young man in Blue Port. Their father Xiahou Xuan, the head of the Xiahou family, is also the top ten strong man in Blue Port...
The warrior explained it in a nagging manner, for fear that Zhou Jin would not know the power of the Xiahou family. The Xiahou family had a very long history in the Northern Region Blue Port, but because the family focused on martial arts and was not strong in other aspects, Xiahou Xuan did not become one of the ten elders.
However, the history of the Xiahou family was extremely glorious. His family had eleven commanders of scale armored shark guards, because they died in the last place in the Northern Region Blue Port against the evil devil, and the Northern Region Blue Port reconciled with the evil devil. In a fit of anger, the Xiahou family no longer allowed their children to participate in the Scale Armored Shark Guard.
The Xiahou family did not participate in the Scale Armored Shark Guard, but the one who suffered losses was the Scale Armored Shark Guard. Without the powerful Xiahou family's children, their strength was greatly affected.
In this generation, Xiahou Ba, the young master of the Xiahou family, was considered a martial arts genius since he was a child. What is even more rare is that Xiahou Ba's talent is not only reflected in his martial arts understanding, but also hardworking and brave and warlike.
Children from aristocratic families often get more resources than civilians and have better teachers to guide them. However, because of their superior family background, they do not know how to train hard. Even if they have mastered their skills, they dare not devote themselves to their full efforts when fighting, and are greedy for life and fear of death.
But Xiahou Ba has no shortcomings. He is a natural warrior. His only problem is that he is too protective of his shortcomings. This is actually not a problem. The tradition of the Xiahou family is like this. He cannot tolerate his own children suffering some losses outside.
The Xiahou family is not good at doing business, but the merchants in the city will hire the children of the Xiahou family to be bodyguards. A clan member of the Xiahou family escorted the caravan. The caravan was robbed on the mountain road north of the autumn wind and sunset city, and the tribe member was also killed by thieves.
At that time, the Xiahou family sent people to pass on oral messages, hoping that the robbers would hand over the murderer and return the stolen property, and would not blame them for everything.
However, at that time, the villages of Qiufeng Luosun City were all incorporated by Geng Laohu of Huzui Village. A total of 28 villages were united. Not to mention their huge strength, Geng Laohu was also a strong man in the "Stone Realm" and ignored the ultimatum of the Xiahou family.
There is a long distance from the Northern Region Blue Port to Qiufeng Sunset City, and the autumn wind Sunset City has its own system, so it is difficult for all forces in the Northern Region Blue Port to influence it. At that time, everyone thought that the Xiahou family would endure it, but they never thought that Xiahou Ba went there alone and one horse to destroy twenty-eight villages overnight.
At that time, Geng Laohu was looking for fun in the autumn wind and setting sun. After receiving the news, he hurried back to the mountain. He thought Xiahou Ba took advantage of the opportunity and would run away after destroying the mountain village. He never thought that Xiahou Ba was waiting for him on the mountain. The two fought for one day. Geng Laohu's martial arts realm was higher than Xiahou Ba, and his combat experience was even greater. No one expected that Xiahou Ba would take Geng Laohu's head down the mountain in the end.
Xiahou Ba became famous in the battle, and the people in the Northern Region Blue Port realized how powerful the young master of the Xiahou family was. There were many warriors and battles next, which further proved Xiahou Ba's strength. Now everyone thinks that the Xiahou family will have a position in the future Ten Elders' Council. If the warriors do not join the Scale Armor Shark Guard and do not become the commander, they will have a position among the Ten Elders. This evaluation can be said to be extremely high.
It’s no wonder Xiahou Kuang is so arrogant when he has such a terrible brother in the backstage. No wonder these guards in the camp were obviously bullied, but they were afraid that Zhou Jin would beat the person up.
Zhou Jin shook his head and smiled. He didn't want to continue fighting, and he could only kill people if he beat him again. There was no need to waste his energy for such a young man who was so provoked.
"You guys pack up, I'll go back to pack my luggage!" Zhou Jin said calmly and turned around and left.
The guards lifted Xiahou up with all their might, but they were talking in a low voice: "This young master Zhou is so strong. Our scaled shark guard finally has a good newcomer this year."
"Strong? I don't think so. If he is strong, how could Wu Junhou pick the one named Qiu?"
"Say a few words. The boy of the Xiahou family is too heavy. Hurry up and find a carriage to send him home. Thanks to Xiahou Ba in seclusion, otherwise there will be a big trouble!"
After Zhou Jin returned to his barracks, he took out his luggage and looked at it. No one had touched it, so Zhou Jin no longer cared about it. He was the only one in the barracks. Zhou Jin did not light the lights. He stood in the dark and recalled the gains of the day.
It is dangerous, and between life and death, every test is a killing game, but every test has great gains. For the first time, the ring-shaped corridor, countless vital energy of heaven and earth poured into the body. Although his strength has only risen to a small level, Zhou Jin knew very well that the harvest is not just that, the golden raindrops falling on the island are the purest power. For the second test, the twelve-fingered piano ghost Lin Rusen used the sound of the piano to stimulate his veins and true energy, allowing himself to master a method and idea. Once he knew this, he could find another way and take more efficient steps in the progress of martial arts.
In the oil pan, Zhou Jin directly mastered the "Scale Armor True Legend" and broke through to the third level. This technique is equivalent to making Zhou Jin feel like a tiger. As for the next hunting of sea pythons, not to mention how much benefits the sea python oil will be, the experience of fighting in the water and the mastery of the Nine Changes of Fish and Dragons are all rare wealth.
I thought there would be no trouble after the test, but what Zhou Jin did not expect was that the scaled shark guard actually had a magical stone pillar. He saw the method of stimulating the true qi veins on the stone pillar, and even mastered the mysterious martial arts such as "The True Surgery of the Ancient Snake".
No matter which gain a warrior gets, he will benefit endlessly throughout his life. Zhou Jin has gained so much at once. Zhou Jin feels that he needs to practice in seclusion and digest and organize these gains well.
Zhou Jin was thinking in the house, but the guards in the reserve camp made a pair of stretchers and put the fainting Xiahou Kuang onto the stretcher and carried it out.
The second young master of the Xiahou family was not alone, and there were several followers waiting outside the door. The entourage had a relaxed expression and thought that the second young master would come back with great power. Unexpectedly, he was carried out by the people inside. After being stunned, he did not dare to make trouble. He quickly found a carriage to transport Xiahou back to the manor of the Xiahou family.
The reserve team camp was in the city, and the Xiahou family's manor was outside the city. A seriously injured person was in a carriage. He couldn't get fast. When he returned to the manor, it was already late at night.
"The master of the family is going to live in the city!" The manager of the Xiahou family manor told these entourages. When they heard this, the entourages immediately felt bitter. They all knew the rules of the Xiahou family. The young master Xiahou Ba once had an order that if Xiahou Kuang had something, they must report it to him, but the servants were unwilling to face Xiahou Ba. It was not that the young master would vent his anger and hurt others, but in front of Xiahou Ba, people would involuntarily feel the pressure. This pressure made people terrified and suffocated. The servants of the Xiahou family said in private that "It would be too painful to be beaten by a hundred slaughter than to see the young master."
But when things got to this point, they had to go to see each other. The four followers came to the outside of the small courtyard where Xiahou Ba was in seclusion. It was already late at night and Xiahou Ba was still in seclusion. These followers thought to themselves that the young master was in seclusion, and perhaps they had no time to pay attention to the movements outside.
I never thought that as soon as the four of them walked outside, Xiahou Ba's voice came from inside. Xiahou Ba's voice was very calm, "It's so late, what's the matter?"
Xiahou Ba still heard clearly through the yard with several walls. What's even more strange is that Xiahou Ba's voice seemed to be in their ears.
As soon as he heard the young master's voice, several entourages of the Xiahou family were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground. You pushed me and I pushed you, and no one was willing to speak. A cold snorted from the yard. The head entourage softened his body and almost lay on the ground. He reported there tremblingly: "Young master, the second young master... the second young master was knocked unconscious..."
"What?" Xiahou Ba's tone did not fluctuate, but the followers outside knelt down together. They all felt a terrifying power emanating from the inside.
"...It was because of that Zhou Jin. The second young master kept asking him to vent his anger for the young master." His voice trembled, but these entourages did not dare to hide anything at all, and said it all in detail.
"Zhou Jin?" Xiahou Ba repeated this name. The followers who reported outside suddenly felt a flash of their eyes. It seemed that the dark night suddenly turned into daylight. Then everyone couldn't help but lie on the ground. Their reaction was not to dodge, but to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Their body lost control and just collapsed on the ground.
The silver light flashed just after it flashed, and darkness around the yard returned to darkness. Suddenly, a breeze seemed to blow by, and a rustling sound rang out. The followers who were sank on the ground plucked up their courage to look up and froze in shock.
The courtyard walls built with stone bricks and plaster, as well as the brick-and-wood houses inside, are now disintegrating, as if the sand sculptures built with fine sand on the beach were dissolved by the sea water. The courtyard walls and houses are now turned into fine powder and collapsed little by little.
The disintegration became faster and faster, and the dust flew around. The followers were choked by the smoke and dust and coughed repeatedly. They all saw a tall figure standing in the center of the dust.
The figure also coughed, and there seemed to be a silver light on the figure, and the dust in the sky suddenly disappeared. To be precise, it was not disappearing, but was suppressed by the sudden burst of force.
The dust is shattered and its power is invisible. Using power to suppress the dust so thoroughly, it can be seen that the purity of power and the wonderfulness of control are at its peak.
A follower guessed something, and he said in a trembling voice: "Congratulations to the young master for coming out of seclusion, congratulations to the young master for his great success."
Xiahou Ba standing there looked plain, and there was no trace of dust on his body. He could no longer see the strange silver light in his mighty appearance, but if he looked carefully, he would see a silver light in the depths of Xiahou Ba's eyes, an extremely sharp light.
Xiahou Ba looked up at the night sky and said calmly: "It's already late. Let's go and treat Xiaokuang first. I'll go and see what Zhou Jin has to do when he suddenly came out."
The followers quickly agreed, but they didn't notice it themselves. In front of their young master, they always knelt down and replied. Although the Xiahou family was strict, the master and servant always stood up to answer questions and answers, but they always knelt down, as if only in this way could they bear less pressure.
After agreeing, he looked up and saw Xiahou Ba walking out. The tiny dust that had disintegrated from the house and the courtyard seemed to be pushed by an invisible force. He automatically dodged outwards three feet in front of Xiahou Ba, looking extremely strange.
Zhou Jin, who was in the reserve camp, did not enter the state of meditation to practice because he felt that this place was not secret or safe. Although the reserve camp was deserted, there were people coming and going, and there were too many outsiders, so it was not suitable for martial arts practice without external objects.
Without practice, Zhou Jin did not go out and wandered around like Zhu Mei suggested. Although the scenery of Beiyu Blue Port was prosperous, it was not attractive to him. Everyone thought he was a country bumpkin from the Five City Alliance. However, Zhou Jin had never been to any prosperous place before, and Beiyu Blue Port was nothing.
The night passed like this. Early the next morning, Zhou Jin rode away from the reserve camp with his luggage and headed to the base of the scaled shark guards. His plan began.
Zhou Jin left very early, and the streets were very deserted. However, when he arrived at the Fortress of the Scale Armor Shark Guard, the situation was completely different. It was very lively. Pairs of Scale people were trained under the leadership of the officers. The Scale people lined up to practice, while the advanced soldiers were relatively casual and small-scale drills. As for the Shale Guard and the General, they each had their own special training grounds, so they didn't have to be with everyone.
I thought that when I came here today, I would be arranged to the barracks and then started formal training. I never thought that after coming to the gate to show my certificate, the guard guarding the gate actually said with a smile: "Yesterday, the commander gave me an order to see Brother Zhou today, please come with me and wait in the waiting room."
Zhou Jin had already turned over and got off the horse. After hearing this arrangement, he felt strange. He didn't know the specific rules of the scaled shark guard, but he could also know that even if he jumped into the armored warrior, he was not considered a high-level in the scaled shark guard system.
There are two thousand scales, two hundred armored soldiers, fifty shark soldiers, and ten guards. After being arranged in layers, armored soldiers are nothing. After leaping, they are just ordinary elite soldiers. Why are they treated specially?
Moreover, the guard who received him seemed to be a soldier, but his attitude was very polite, which was really not normal.
The soldier who received Zhou Jin saw Zhou Jin's doubts and explained with a smile: "Brother Zhou's test miracle yesterday has spread throughout Blue Port, let alone the sea python that everyone saw at the port terminal. Brother Zhou, you have greatly increased your ambition for our scale armored shark guards. Such talents must personally encourage and arrange them. This is a kind of treatment for you."
Even if we have to encourage and make arrangements, wasn’t it the meeting yesterday? Zhou Jin was still puzzled, but such an arrangement is beneficial or not, and there is no need to study it in detail.
Zhou Jin followed the gatekeeper to the reception room. It was a very neat room with simple furniture, tables and chairs, but compared to the reception room in Wanzhoukeng, it was too cold and looked very poor.
"Brother Zhou is waiting here, and someone will arrange it for Brother Zhou next." The other party was polite and respectful.
Zhou Jin coughed and said, "I don't know what to call it?"
"My surname is Zhang, Zhang Jingbo." The soldier was stunned. I wonder why Zhou Jin asked this. Zhou Jin said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, you and I are at the scale armored shark guard, and at the same level as the soldier, with equal status and no high or low. Brother Zhang is too polite to me, there is no need for this."
Zhang Jingbo was stunned again, and then smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is a honest person, so let's take care of each other in the future!"
After saying that, he held his fists and left, Zhou Jin noticed that Zhang Jingbo's expression and attitude had become much more sincere.
Zhou Jin was the only one left in the reception room. Zhou Jin shook his head and sat down. What happened in the past few days gave him a deeper understanding of the scaled shark guard.
Before we came, Zhou Jin thought the scaled shark guard was a disciplined army based on his previous experiences. However, after personal experience, he found that it was not as strong as he thought. There were scum like Liu Zhengyun, and there were many people following this scum inside the scaled shark guard. The conflict between the shark soldiers Zhu Mei and Liu Zhengyun was very deep. This resentment was not formed in one day or two, which shows that the scaled shark guard was not united.
Today, Zhang Jingbo's kindness and pleasing favor did not look like a warrior, but a businessman from a business company.
The scaled shark guard has been in this prosperous and prosperous Northern Region Blue Port for too long, and it has been too peaceful here for too long. The scaled shark guard, which has not fought for a long time, has become a goldfish raised in the fish tank.
Zhou Jin felt a little regretful. He originally thought that the scale armored shark guard was just the self-defense force of the prosperous city-state. But seeing the underwater corridor, he knew the true scale armored quenched with whale oil and the stone pillar with supreme martial arts, which made him realize the strength of the scale armored shark guard. However, no one knew this strength and no one used it, which was equivalent to being wasted.
However, Zhou Jin also understood that the appearance of the scaled shark guard would be of great benefit to him becoming the commander and winning the "Sky Thunder Killing and Killing Slash".
Zhou Jin thought in the reception room that a team of people appeared in front of the fortress of the scaled shark guards. More than forty knights came in line. These knights looked different from the ordinary horse guards, because they were all wearing golden armor, with carved flying fish patterns on the armor, which shone under the morning sunshine, and the mounts under the knights were tall and strong. In addition, the mounts were also carefully carved, and the horses were covered with gorgeous felt. What's even more rare is that more than forty knights were almost the same height as the mounts, and this neatness seemed even more extraordinary.
This team was extremely conspicuous as soon as it appeared in front of people. Although the tall knights rode horses, wore golden armor, and had swords and bows on their backs, they did not look majestic, and they only seemed extremely wealthy.
More than forty knights surrounded a carriage. The carriage looked like a jewelry box, dragged by eight horses and horses. The carriage looked completely made of gold and silver, and the outside decoration was extremely beautiful. Many jewelry heirlooms of ordinary families were inlaid on the carriage board.
Someone held a big flag behind the carriage, and the word "gold" was written on it. This magnificent team stopped in front of the fortress gate of the scaled shark guard. A knight rode his horse to the guard. The knight was dressed in an ostentatious manner, but he was very polite. He dismounted and greeted, "Elder Jin came to see Commander Li, please inform me."
Only the ten elders can claim to be elders in the Northern Region Blue Port. The warrior on duty in front of the Scale Armored Shark Guard's door naturally knew who the other party was. He said with a smile on his face: "Please go in and report later."
Among the ten elders of the Blue Port in the Northern Region, the remaining nine are called elders, while the commander of the scaled shark guard is called the commander, and there are subtle differences between status and power.
The other members of the scaled shark guards in this team were not surprised, but instead whispered to each other: "Why is Jin Baiwan coming again? Among the ten elders, he is the diligent person who comes."
"Jin Baiwan and our commander used to be friends. What's so strange about walking diligently? And everyone has benefits for this Jin Baiwan."
As soon as the discussion ended, the bell hanging in front of the carriage rang twice. Two knights dropped two heavy leather pockets from the horse. The guard in front of the scale-armored Shark Emon walked forward and caught it with a smile on his face.
A knight elongated his voice and said, "Elder Jin Laojun!"
"Thank you Elder Jin!" The answer below was uneven. If Zhou Jin saw this scene, he would probably frown. The tall scaled shark guard seemed to be juggling artists on the street in front of Qiancai, without the slightest character of a warrior.
Chapter completed!
