Chapter 178: Chou Xiao’s fate is to take revenge
Translator: 549690339
In just one day.
Chou Xiao’s Secret letter was handed to the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei. There were only a few simple sentences on it.
It was true that there was a gold mine on moon Cliff Island. The reserves were astronomical and the gold was unprecedentedly rich. Just the gold extracted from the mine alone was more than 50000 Jin. The ore was filled with golden sand, and it was not rare to see gold nuggets in shape.
The handwriting, the special seal, and even the special errors in the words all proved that this was Chou Xiao’s personal letter.
In that case, was there 50000 Jin of gold in the gazing Cliff Island mine?
He really didn’t have that many.
Shen lang spent a huge amount of money to melt all 400000 gold coins. However, even so, it was only about 28000 Jin.
The only thing left was copper.
Those hundred Jin of super large gold bricks were actually made of copper.
After reading the secret letter from Chou Xiao, Qiu Tianwei almost could not breathe.
The greed almost swallowed him whole.
How astonishing were the reserves of this gold mine?
Not to mention anything else, just the 50000 Jin of gold in the mine was worth the battle.
He wasn’t like the Earl of golden universe, who had to spend an astronomical amount of money to hire an Army or a fleet.
Raging tide city’s pirate Army and battleships were all ready-made. Taking down moon Cliff Island and getting the 50000 Jin of gold would be a huge profit, not to mention getting this Super Gold mine.
In fact, he was already regretting that he had given Chou Xiao the power to negotiate with the Earl of Xuanwu. Why did he say that he would split it in half?
This was an astronomical amount of wealth.
However, he still found an Alchemist.
“Daoist priest, this situation doesn’t seem right.” Chou Tianwei said.
“What’s wrong?” The Alchemist asked.
I’ve seen a few gold mines, ” Qiu Tianwei said. there’s no golden sand in the soil at all. Even if it’s a rich mine, it’s impossible to reach this level. It’s already very rare for a gold mine to be able to extract fifty thousand Jin of gold a year, but the Jin family has already extracted more than a million gold coins, which is a total of one hundred thousand Jin.”
These words were not false.
Modern Earth’s technology was so advanced, but a gold mine could only extract a few hundred tons of gold every year.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had already taken out 1.1 million gold coins, which was a total of 80000 pounds, which was 40 tons.
Chou Tianwei said, ” there’s also a gold mine. It’s very rare to see gold nuggets in full form. It’s impossible for them to appear on a large scale. Could there be a trap? ”
“On the contrary,” The Alchemist shook his head,”this can prove that the gold mine on gaze Cliff Island is real.”
“Why do you say so?” Chou Tianwei asked.
“This gold mine isn’t just a natural mine,” The Alchemist explained.”It’s an ancient gold vein.”
qiu tianwei’s body trembled and he said in disbelief, ” “An ancient gold vein?”
What was the ancient gold vein?
To put it simply, it was either a super tomb from ancient times or a Treasury of the ancient empire.
When the world was destroyed, the entire world would be turned upside down.
The land became an ocean, and the ocean became a mountain.
The ground was madly torn and compressed, producing an astonishing high temperature.
This temperature was enough to melt everything, including gold.
As a result, the gold formed a Golden River underground and flowed everywhere, scattering into the soil.
When the Earth’s temperature dropped, the gold solidified again, either in the shape of gold nuggets or golden sand.
Therefore, the reserves of ancient gold veins were usually very shocking, and the gold content in the soil was much higher than that of ordinary gold mines.
The discovery of an ancient gold vein was no different from picking up gold from the ground.
Shen lang is cunning and vicious, ” Qiu Tianwei said. could he be acting? ”
“A million gold coins for an act?” The Alchemist Taoist asked. Where did he get the money? How many forces in this world can take out more than a million gold coins?”
“Could it be the heavenly Dao conference?” Chou Tianwei asked.
“Has the heavenly axiom gone crazy?” The Alchemist Taoist asked. Putting on an act for Shen lang with more than a million gold coins? Why?”
That’s right, the heavenly Dao Association was not crazy.
It was possible to invest hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the future king of a Kingdom.
God knows how many years it would take for the palace of the Earl to recover so much money.
besides, the heavenly society can’t take out so much gold, ” The Alchemist Taoist said. many of their trade routes have been taken away by the yinyuan society, and many countries have lost their right to make money.
“In other words, there’s a gold mine on gaze Cliff Island?” Qiu Tianwei asked.
“It’s a gold vein, not a gold mine,” The Alchemist answered.
“Then according to Taoist priest’s estimation, how many reserves does this mine have?” Chou Tianwei asked.
“I don’t know,” The Alchemist replied,”but the last ancient gold vein was in the Dajin Kingdom, and it has been excavated for more than 30 years. More than 20 years ago, in the 100-year war between the great Yan Empire and the great Qian Kingdom, the great Jin Kingdom sent 1.3 million soldiers to cross the border and attack the great Qian Kingdom from both sides. From this, we can see how wealthy the great Jin Kingdom is.”
Qiu Tianwei found it even harder to breathe.
my Lord, ” The Alchemist Taoist said. you have the gold Mountain Island in your left hand and the ancient mine in your right. This is a sign of a great empire.
“Let me think, let me think.” Qiu Tianwei’s body was burning.
He was an extremely greedy and suspicious person.
Although he was trying to find a flaw in the gold mine on gazing Cliff Island, as if trying to prove that the gold mine was fake, he was still trying to find a way to prove it.
But in reality, he had believed it long ago. If you told him that there was no gold mine at all and that everything was fake, he would fight you to the death.
“Men!” Chou Tianwei said.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew in.
This was his trusted expert.
go to gazing Cliff Island and tell the young master that the previous negotiation conditions have been canceled. 50 – 50 is impossible now. We’ll split it 80 – 20.
“If the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu wants to live, then hand over 80% of the gold mine’s annual output. Furthermore, my raging tide city will also be stationed on gazing Cliff Island and participate in the gold mining.”
if you refuse, then we’ll meet on the battlefield. I’ll lead an Army of tens of thousands and wipe the Jin family off the face of this world.
“Yes!” That trusted expert flew away.
............
Chou Xiao and his 2000 Pirates had already been on gazing Cliff Island for four days.
In the beginning, they were on high alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.
And now, Yingluo
He couldn’t be too relaxed.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was too cowardly.
The Pirates had stolen the Jin clan’s food and meat, but uncle Black Tortoise didn’t dare to make a sound.
The two sides had a conflict and a fight broke out.
Uncle Black Tortoise still didn’t dare to pursue the matter and would only suppress the Jin clan warriors.
Not only that.
Chou Xiao’s 2000 Pirates closed in step by step, constantly encroaching and occupying the territory of gaze Cliff Island.
The soldiers of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu retreated.
The newly built defense line and barracks were all taken by two thousand Pirates.
The Jin clan’s Army had almost retreated to the mountain.
Moreover, these Pirates were not like an Army, and they had no discipline to begin with.
After doing whatever he wanted for four days, he had thrown all his wariness out of the window and completely relaxed.
hahaha, the Jin family is full of cowards. None of them are useful.
as expected of the defeated opponent of our King. Each generation is worse than the last.
it’s a newly built house. They didn’t have time to live in it, but we did.
“The meat was just delivered. They didn’t even have time to eat it before we ate it. The rice wine was just delivered, and we drank it before they could even take a sip.”
The cold wind was blowing outside, and the Pirates were staying in the newly built barracks, roasting the fire, eating meat, drinking wine, and enjoying themselves.
On the open space not far away, the Warriors of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were sitting cross-legged on the ground. They endured the cold wind, nibbled on cornbread, and drank cold water.
They had no choice. The house was robbed, the meat was robbed, and even the pot and firewood were robbed.
It seemed that the Warriors from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were in a terrible state, especially when compared to the Pirates.
it’s a disgrace to be a noble to this extent. Brothers, what’s the point of being a soldier? why don’t you join us and be Pirates? ”
“I’ve seen through these nobles. Each one of them bullies the weak and fears the strong, afraid of death. Not to mention that they don’t dare to make a sound when their meat is snatched away, they are even willing to sell their wives to survive.”
“It’s not just my wife and I who can sell, they can sell themselves too.”
..................
The best house on moon Cliff Island was brightly lit.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was hosting a banquet to welcome Chou Xiao.
People said that there was a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days.
After Chou Xiao came to gaze Cliff Island, he had a banquet every day.
Shen lang was finally here today.
Although Chou Xiao was arrogant, he was also suspicious. He brought his own food and wine for every banquet. He did not even touch the things that the Jin family prepared for him.
And even when he was smug, he controlled his alcohol tolerance and didn’t get drunk at all.
Therefore, even if she wanted to harm him, she wouldn’t be able to find a chance.
This person’s martial arts were extremely high.
Of course, it would not be a problem for the experts from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to defeat him. However, it would be difficult to keep him here.
Moreover, he would bring over a hundred elite warriors to each banquet.
He was really careful to the extreme.
“Shen lang, you were not around when I came to gazing Cliff Island. Where did you go? Are you looking down on me?” Chou Xiao laughed.
Shen lang smiled bitterly and did not answer.
“Bang!”
Chou Xiao slammed his fist on the table and shouted, ” “You’re not answering me, are you looking down on me?”
“I was severely injured some time ago and have been recuperating since.” Shen lang said calmly, ” actually, I can’t even walk now. I had no choice but to come to gaze Cliff Island. Otherwise, I would still be lying in bed. If you don’t believe me, you can see.
Then, Shen lang showed Chou Xiao the numerous wounds on his body.
“This is Jin Mulan’s doing?” Chou Xiao frowned.
“No.” “The other female T-Rex,” Shen lang said.
hahahaha! Chou Xiao immediately laughed gloatingly.
From that, he obtained a piece of information. Shen lang and Jin Mulan’s marriage was definitely a dead marriage.
In the past, Shen lang had always been eloquent and elegant.
However, Shen lang kept his mouth shut and looked extremely lonely.
After a long while, he finally couldn’t help but ask, ” “Young Duke, we’ve treated you with respect, but can you discipline your Pirates? some of their actions have gone too far, and there’s a limit to our tolerance.”
Young Duke, Chou Xiao was stunned by this form of address.
However, he quickly understood the meaning behind this.
Both the Crown Prince and the third Prince had bribed Qiu Tianwei and promised to confer him the title of furious tide Marquis after he ascended the throne. Therefore, Qiu Xiao naturally became the young Marquis.
Everyone said that Shen lang was extremely smart and vicious. Who would have thought that he was also a flatterer?
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and intrigues were fake.
After feeling satisfied, Chou Xiao said coldly, ” “If you can’t bear it anymore, then you don’t have to bear it anymore. Just kill them directly! At most, we’ll have another great battle, just like twenty years ago.”
“It’s all in the past, young master Chou Xiao. There’s no need to bring it up again,” uncle Black Tortoise said bitterly.
“Twenty years ago, my Qiu clan was at its weakest.” Chou Xiao laughed out loud. your father, the Earl of golden universe, is so powerful. He led an Army of more than 10000 and hundreds of ships, marching toward Leizhou Island. And the result? Annihilate the entire Army!”
As soon as he said that, both uncle Xuanwu and Shen Lang’s faces turned dark.
Chou Xiao continued,’uncle Xuanwu, I wonder how the military strength of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is compared to 20 years ago? But it’s half, or a third?”
“Harmony is the most important, harmony is the most important,” said uncle Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo.
your Jin clan’s military strength is less than a third, ” Chou Chu said. but my Qiu clan’s strength has expanded by more than a few times. We also have the powerful raging tide city and the entire Leizhou archipelago. Today, the strength of my Qiu clan is more than ten times that of your Jin clan.”
Shen Lang’s face twitched. He drank a glass of wine and did not say anything else.
“If my raging tide city led 30000 troops to attack your gazing Cliff Island, what would happen?” Chou Xiao said coldly.
Shen lang said in a hoarse voice,”although the gazing Cliff Island is the fief of the Jin family, it is also the territory of the Yue State.” Aren’t you afraid of the king’s anger if you attack him openly?”
“Was your Emperor furious when we led our troops to take over the gold Mountain Island?” Chou Xiao laughed out loud.
Shen lang and the Earl of Xuanwu, Jin Zhuo, were speechless.
“Your King probably wishes for us to lead the Army to annihilate your Jin family,” choucheng said.
Shen Lang’s face was pale. peace is the most important. Peace is the most important.
“It’s not impossible to make peace, but it really depends on your sincerity,” Chou Xiao said indifferently.
Shen lang gritted his teeth and said, ” to prove our sincerity and to maintain the friendship between our two families, the Jin family is willing to give 20000 gold coins to the Qiu family every year.
Chou Xiao was instantly enraged and threw the wine glass in his hand at Shen lang.
Shen lang quickly dodged.
Of course, Chou Xiao did not hit Shen lang on purpose. Otherwise, Shen lang would not have been able to Dodge.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” There was a loud sound.
The silver wine cup smashed directly into the wall, sinking two inches deep.
This beast’s martial arts were really high.
Shen lang looked at his father-in-law, and uncle Xuanwu lowered his gaze.
He expressed that he couldn’t take down Chou Xiao.
If Jin Hui, Shen Shisan, Jin zhuobo, and Jin Shiying attacked together, they could defeat Chou Xiao, but it would be difficult to stop him from running away.
Moreover, Chou Xiao was too suspicious.
There were only three people at this banquet-Jin Zhuo, Shen lang, and Chou Xiao.
Jin Hui, Shen Shisan, Jin Shiying and the other experts were all outside the house.
However, the hundreds of Warriors that Chou Xiao had brought with him were also surrounding the house.
Just within a few hundred steps of this house, there were even more experts under Chou Xiao.
He really didn’t have the chance to kill Chou Xiao.
At that moment, Shen lang was overjoyed when he saw Chou Xiao smash the wine glass in his hand.
“Someone, change a new wine cup for the young Duke.”
“There’s no need, I brought a few over,” choucheng said.
Then, Chou Xiao took out a new glass and poured himself another glass of wine. It was a wine that was not easily intoxicating, which he also brought.
Tsk, this person was really careful and suspicious to the extreme. He didn’t reveal a single flaw.
However, it was normal. Chou Xiao had countless enemies. If he wasn’t so careful, he would have died many times.
Shen lang smiled bitterly and said,”young Duke, why are you so suspicious?” Behind you is the raging tide city and the Pirate King. How would we dare to harm you?”
be careful! choucheng said, ” Shen lang, you’re very vicious.
Then, more and more delicacies were served.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea, there was everything.
It was simply unparalleled.
Shen lang desperately wanted to attract Chou Xiao’s gluttonous appetite so that he could eat the food that Shen lang provided.
However, Chou Xiao didn’t even look at it. He only ate the meat he brought. He used a small knife to slice it piece by piece, then stuffed it into his mouth.
As he ate, he looked at Shen lang sarcastically.
I know that you won’t dare to harm me or harm a single hair on my head, but I still won’t give you any chance.
At this moment, the servant brought three servings of caviar.
Shen lang said, ” this is caviar. It’s very rare and expensive. Hurry and send one to the young Duke.
A servant came forward and placed a bowl of caviar on Chou Xiao’s table.
“No, I’m not eating.” Chou Xiao pushed it away, and the caviar spilled all over the ground.
This person was really impervious to anything.
It would be really difficult to kill him.
Shen lang, you said that you will pay 20000 gold coins to the Qiu family every year? ” Chou Xiao laughed coldly.
Shen lang said, ” that’s right. There will be one every year. This is the maximum amount that the Jin family can offer.
Chou Xiao was furious,”Shen lang, do you think I’m a fool?” Are you treating my Qiu clan like beggars? Do you think I don’t know that there’s a large gold mine on this gazing Cliff Island?”
Shen Lang’s expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand and said, ” there’s no such thing. It’s just a rumor. There’s no gold mine, just an iron mine.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Chou Xiao’s saliva was spat on Shen Lang’s face.
“Shen lang, a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations.” Chou Xiao said coldly,”the person who went to the well at the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to poison the people was me. He wanted to create a plague ..”
“Little noble, you must be joking,” Shen lang said with an ugly expression.
“Add a few braziers, it’s freezing,” he said, as if he felt a little cold.
The servants carried in a few large braziers.
Suddenly, the temperature in the room rose sharply.
shen lang was warm, but chou xiao felt very hot.
He was so strong that he was topless in the winter.
He had a few hundred tattoos on his body, which were his battle achievements that had to be revealed at all times.
At this moment, a few braziers were burning, and he couldn’t help but sweat.
I’m also the one who’s working with Viscount Zhu Lanting to excavate your family’s dam and drown the Jin family’s fief, ” Chou Xiao continued. I’m also the one who’s doing this.
Shen lang and uncle Black Tortoise’s expressions turned ugly.
Chou Xiao said coldly, ” I am so inhumane. I have harmed the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu time and time again. Every time I see Jin Mulan, I have to humiliate her. What can you do to me? ”
Shen lang remained silent.
“Shen lang, you probably hate me to the core and can’t wait to cut me into a thousand pieces, right?” But behind me is raging tide city, tens of thousands of Pirates, so not only do you not dare to take revenge on me, you don’t even dare to offend me, but you also desperately want to please me. My Pirates forcefully landed on gazing Cliff Island and took away your camp and food. Do you dare to resist? you don’t dare to?”
why? because you’re afraid of our raging tide city’s tens of thousands of Pirates. Strength is King.
” shen lang, i’m not afraid to tell you the truth. it’s only because jin mulan is being targeted by other big shots. if not, i would have asked her to drink with me and even sleep with me tonight. you wouldn’t dare to stop me? ”
so, I’m not here to negotiate with you. I’m just here to inform you.
the Qiu clan wants 80% of the gold mine on moon Cliff Island. We also want to station troops and mine the gold ourselves.
Qiu Tianwei’s Messenger had not arrived yet, but Qiu Xiao and his father had the same idea.
Shen Lang’s voice trembled. we don’t have any gold mines on the gazing Cliff Island. Even if we do, you are asking for too much.
“I’ve already said that I’m informing and ordering you. i’m not negotiating with you. you only have the right to agree or not. Either you agree, or my tens of thousands of troops will charge to the gazing Cliff Island and exterminate the Jin family. I will wipe the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu off the face of the earth.”
Uncle Black Tortoise’s body trembled continuously.
Choucheng said, ” also, my 2000 pirate brothers can’t do without women. Uncle Black Tortoise will give you five hundred women within five days. Choose from your fief. They have to be young and beautiful.
The Earl of Xuanwu crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Chou Xiao continued,”and that Jin jianniang, I’ve taken a fancy to her.” I want to see her in my room within five days, or else you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Chou Xiao had really acted out his arrogance to the extreme.
His father had said that if the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was unyielding, he could be a little soft. But if uncle Black Tortoise was weak, then he would have to be unyielding and arrogant.
“Alright, that’s all for today. I’m going back.” “If I don’t get a reply by tomorrow, I’ll leave immediately. Then, I’ll lead tens of thousands of Pirates to charge up to look Cliff Island and kill all of you,” choucheng said.
Then, he stood up to leave.
Shen lang begged, ” young Duke, don’t leave. Let’s talk. Let’s talk. How about 50 – 50? If you agree, we’re willing to give you 200000 gold coins immediately.”
Chou Xiao’s eyes lit up.
Immediately send 200000 gold coins?
Then, he sat down again and said in a cold voice, ” “70 – 30 split! We’ll get 70%, and you’ll get 30%! Furthermore, you must immediately send 500000 gold coins, not 200000.”
“This ... This is too much,” Shen lang said in shock.
I’ll give you an incense’s time to think about it, ” choucheng said. if you don’t agree, I’ll leave immediately and get my father to gather the Army to attack hope Cliff Island.
Then, he felt his breathing Quicken.
The temperature in the hall was too high, and it felt like his mind was wavering. Was there a special fragrance in the air?
More and more sweat appeared on his body.
“Let me think about it,” Shen lang said.
“Just 15 minutes,” choucheng said,”and you must hand over Jin jianniang and 500 women.” I’m already giving you face by not asking for Jin Mulan.”
Shen lang closed his eyes and thought about it. He instinctively wrapped his arm around the servant’s waist.
This action was noticed by Chou Xiao, and he instantly trembled.
Shen lang, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. You even hugged a man’s waist.
Immediately after, Chou Xiao discovered it.
The servant beside Shen lang was not a man but a woman. She was a beautiful woman, but she was dressed in men’s clothes.
Good, good, Shen lang.
He even claimed that there were no women on the island.
Instantly, Chou Xiao was furious. Shen lang, give me the woman beside you. Immediately. Immediately.
Shen lang trembled.
Chou Xiao said coldly,”woman, I told you to come over. Did you hear me?” Shen lang is a piece of trash. How dare he stop me?”
immediately, the woman dressed as a servant walked over to chou xiao’s side in fear.
Who was this woman? was she a maid from the palace of the earl of xuanwu?
It wasn’t!
They were hired by Shen lang from the brothel.
chou xiao hugged this woman and nibbled on her.
Lips like fresh flowers, good taste, good taste.
Shen lang, you only have five minutes. If you don’t agree, you will die! Chou Xiao said coldly.
Shen lang heaved a sigh of relief.
This Chou Xiao was finally going to die.
No matter how cunning he was, he was no match for Shen lang. That night, Shen lang thought of seven to eight plans to deal with Chou Xiao.
If this one didn’t work, he would use that one.
In short, there would be an effective move. However, he didn’t expect that this move would actually work.
This was because there was something on the woman’s lips. It was Shen Lang’s fatal drug.
After a short while.
Chou Xiao had a bad feeling.
His consciousness quickly dispersed.
Not only that, but his eyes also began to blur.
His entire body and mind seemed to be out of control.
“No, I’ve changed my mind,” Chou Xiao said instinctively. Not only do I want Jin jianniang, I also want Jin Mulan. She is my true love, hahahaha!”
At that moment, Black Tortoise Earl Jin Zhuo struck out like lightning.
“Pa! Pa! Pa!”
It directly hit Chou Xiao’s cervical spine.
Chou Xiao instinctively wanted to resist.
If he used his normal martial arts, he would have been able to block it.
But now, his entire body seemed to be floating, completely out of his control.
“Ka-Chak, ka-Chak!”
At that moment, uncle Black Tortoise’s palm smacked the back of his neck.
Chou Xiao’s cervical spine was completely broken.
His neck was completely paralyzed, and he could no longer feel anything.
Shen lang went forward, took out a dagger, and slashed at Chou Xiao’s vital part!
From the beginning to the end, he was very fast and did not give Chou Xiao any time to react.
“Ah, Yingluo.”
Although Chou Xiao didn’t feel any pain, he still let out an extremely shrill cry.
