These City Walls Are Ridiculously High!
Thinking of all this, the leader of the Black Shark Gang wiped away a tear and said:
"I still can't figure it out. Who did I offend? How did things turn out like this?"
My entire warehouse of gold and silver jewelry, along with all the grain, weapons, and cloth... it's all gone!
Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside, shouting, "Boss, something terrible has happened! Our gold mine is gone too!"
"Bang!" The Black Shark Gang leader fainted instantly.
After he woke up, he said:
"This isn't right! This is really too wrong, Lao Jiang, how could everything be gone?"
Did you guys get into trouble with someone outside?
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch frowned and said:
Whom have we offended outside?
Yes, we should think about it that way, because this has never happened before.
But so many things like this have happened this past month.
Jiang Ce frowned and said, "I think we should try to figure out when our bad luck started."
The Jiang Lineage clan chief thought for a moment and said, "Ever since you recognized Shen Miaomiao, Shen Yi, and Shen Bin, things have slowly started to go wrong."
Jiang Ce frowned and said, "Could it be related to that Zhou Wanwan? Ever since we met that girl, our family has been plagued by bad luck."
The Jiang Lineage clan chief's eyes widened. "You mean Zhou Wanwan? How could I have forgotten about this child? Yes, it must be related to her."
Jiang Ce asked, "So what do we do now?"
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch considered for a moment and said:
"Naturally, I'm going to settle accounts with Zhou Wanwan. I always felt that this was all that little girl's doing."
This little girl is really hard to figure out!
The Black Shark Gang leader looked at them and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
The Jiang Lineage clan chief recounted the whole story.
The leader of the Black Shark Gang sneered:
"You mean a six-year-old child schemed against you all, and incidentally, schemed against me as well?"
Do you think it's possible?
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch thought for a moment and said:
"It's highly likely that the child isn't an ordinary child; he came from Yanmen Pass."
She is now the city lord of Yanmen Pass.
The Black Shark Gang leader was stunned:
"The lord of Yanmen Pass? Wasn't the battle at Yanmen Pass quite fierce last year?"
I remember last year I went to Yanmen Pass to sell a batch of goods, and as soon as I got there, a fight broke out between the two sides.
The goods weren't sold, and I almost got injured in the process.
Are all the people at Yanmen Pass dead now? How could they let a 6-year-old child be the lord of Yanmen Pass?
The Jiang Lineage sighed and said:
Anyway, we don't know how that kid became the city lord. Recently, he's been locked up in the Qin Clan.
She looks quite weak, but ever since she came to the Qin Clan, something's been getting increasingly strange.
The leader of the Black Shark Gang sneered:
"Let's go, we have to go to Yanmen Pass. I want to see what this brat is really capable of."
If she really did it, then we should catch her and tear her to pieces on an island.
Both companies had fishing boats, and each brought more than 100 people, marching in a grand procession to Yanmen Pass.
As they approached Yanmen Pass, the Black Shark Gang leader snorted coldly:
"A mere lord of Yanmen Pass dares to steal our things."
If she really took it, she should pay it back double!
The Jiang Lineage clan chief nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I've been to Yanmen Pass. I'll take this opportunity to go and have a look."
The geographical location of Yanmen Pass is truly unique.
Once you cross Yanmen Pass, that's where the Great Xia is.
The Jiang Lineage can no longer survive in Great Qi. Before long, many people will know what kind of family they are.
However, you can still make a living in Great Xia. Great Xia has indeed declined in recent years, but even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Besides, many members of the Jiang Lineage also live in Great Xia.
The thought of this made his mind start to wander again.
The carriage soon arrived at Yanmen Pass.
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch and the Black Shark Gang leader jumped down from the carriage.
The two stared blankly at the city wall of Yanmen Pass.
These city walls are ridiculously high!
That's completely outrageous.
How many floors high is it?
Is this a city wall?
It's practically a fortress!
The Jiang Lineage clan chief swallowed hard and said, "This is... this is fucking outrageous! Should we go in or not?"
"We have to go in, we absolutely have to! Besides, aren't we here to get revenge on her?"
The Jiang Lineage clan chief immediately covered his mouth and said, "Shh! Can you be a little quieter? Can't you see those people are watching us?"
The guards were all dressed in armor and carried long spears; they all looked fierce and menacing.
The Black Shark Gang leader chuckled and said:
"Look at you, so cowardly, like a mouse. You're useless. You're just a six-year-old child. What can these guards do?"
Do you really think a 6-year-old child can manage such a big city?
You must know, this is Yanmen Pass!
The Jiang Lineage clan patriarch nodded and said, "That's true, so the claim that the child is the city lord of Yanmen Pass is probably just a rumor."
Zhou Wanwan returned to Yanmen Pass; it had been too busy Yanmen Pass lately.
She has to come back to help.
Because of the War God Hall, people from more than a dozen countries are now flocking here.
There's no room for them, absolutely no room for them.
The entire Yanmen Pass was in a state of chaos:
"Lord, we really don't have enough room here, there are no houses available!"
The inns are all full, and there are still hundreds of people waiting in the back.
Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "Don't we have enough houses? I remember we used to have many yards?"
"Yes, there are, but the courtyard over there is completely crowded right now."
Zhou Wanwan said helplessly:
"I've acquired a new batch of houses; take them there and settle them in!"
There are over 100 sets in total, which should be barely enough.
This is all money!
As long as these people are willing to come, it will all turn into money.
Zhou Wanwan hadn't been to the War God Hall of the War God Hall for a long time, so she led Shen Tao, Cheng Chao, Xie Cheng'en, and Shen Wanjun toward it.
Cheng Chao kept reporting the accounts on the way, "Boss, our brothels, casinos, horse farms, money exchanges, and restaurants are doing the best business, they're packed every day."
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:
"What we need to do is provide service, and we must make our guests feel at home."
Also, the safety of all guests must be ensured.
At the very least, we can't afford any mishaps in these cities.
This illustrates the importance of security work.
If problems frequently arise at Yanmen Pass and personal safety cannot be guaranteed, who would come?
Shen Wanjun, who was beside him, said:
"Don't worry, boss. The security here is probably even better than the imperial palaces of the Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much money to come all the way to Yanmen Pass.
All the cities within our control are perfectly safe.
So now it's all fully occupied.
Xie Cheng'en nodded and said:
"Boss, you have no idea how unlucky the other cities have been lately. It's a complete mess, a disaster!"
Those city lords are having a terrible headache; everyone knows now that our cities are the safest.
All the people are heading this way.
Zhou Wanwan looked at Xie Cheng'en and said, "Well done, young man, you've been doing quite well lately!"
Xie Cheng'en nodded and said, "That's a must. There's a future only by following the boss. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's pretty good, keep up the good work!"
Xie Cheng'en nodded and said, "My grandfather has been urging the palace for grain and supplies again recently, and they should arrive soon."
Thinking of this, Zhou Wanwan quickly said:
"Recently, the armies of several countries here have all been supported by me. I'm exhausted. I need to write back to them all as soon as possible and play the victim."
Right now, several of our countries are locked in a fierce battle. If we don't have food and supplies, we're bound to lose.
Let them figure out a way to transport grain, supplies, and silver over!
