Chapter 332: Genius, Own Preferential Treatment (Second Shift at Noon)
Due to Lu Chen's tired arrival, some people thought of bad things, and because of this, panic spread among the tribe.
It was not only Lu Chen's clansmen who felt that something was wrong, but Ji Hongdie, who was active, thought a lot of things when she saw Lu Chen.
"My husband is firm in his work, even if there is temptation, he will not rest halfway, and when he comes back at this point in time, he can only fail if he comes. ”
"There were only a dozen or so people who came back, indicating that at least nearly a hundred brute warriors and the sons of a dozen leaders died outside. ”
"After so many deaths at one time, Lord Fujun will definitely be punished by the royal court, and he is getting farther and farther away from the throne. ”
felt that her husband was far away from the throne, but Ji Hongdie found that she was not too sad.
Even, what she was worried about at first was not that she couldn't compete for the throne, but that she looked at Lu Chen's body with concern, afraid that Lu Chen would be seriously injured.
"Husband, are you alright? ”
After running to Lu Chen's side at great speed, Ji Hongdie's delicate and slender jade hand touched Lu Chen's body, and it was not until she found that Lu Chen had no scars on the surface that she breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted Lu Chen: "Master, a temporary failure is nothing, as long as you are still there, husband." ”
"Actually, the royal court is not bad, why don't we be in the royal court in the future. ”
This was Ji Hongdie's true thoughts, seeing the only dozen or so people behind Lu Chen, she really felt the danger of the wilderness.
And she didn't want Lu Chen to experience danger or even death, so she was ready to live in seclusion with Lu Chen in the royal court.
It's just that she thinks a lot, but Lu Chen is confused.
"What, why should I be sad? Forget it, is there hot water, I'll take a shower and rest first. ”
Lu Chen's body is very strong, and under normal times, he can stay up for a week without getting tired.
But this time was different, it was okay when fighting, although the battle was fierce enough, Lu Chen could bear it.
But the state of activation of the godhead made Lu Chen miserable, whether it was the consumption of qi and blood in his body, or the absorption of the power of faith, it made Lu Chen extremely tired.
What's more, Lu Chen also discovered a little.
"Even if my body meets the standard and my divine power is enough, if my will is not strong enough, I will not be able to use my godhead for a long time, this burden is too heavy. ”
Like playing high-performance games on a low-configuration computer, Lu Chen felt that he couldn't move it at all.
Therefore, Lu Chen, who continuously used the ability of his godhead, only felt that his brain was about to burn and be confused, he just wanted to rest now, and he was too tired to make Lu Chen look like a general of a defeated army.
After finishing speaking, Lu Chen was not even in the mood to talk to Ji Hongdie, and was about to run back to the tent directly, but when he walked in the village and town, Lu Chen found that the public bath had been built here.
Although the walls have not yet been built, the pit has been dug and paved with stones, and water has been brought in.
Because of this, Lu Chen simply didn't go back to the tent and jumped directly into the bath.
"It's still so comfortable, if only the water were hotter. ”
Then, as soon as Lu Chen's head was planted, he fell into a deep sleep in the bath full of clear water.
Of course, although the person was asleep, the first ghost god, the Kazan of the sword soul, and the second ghost god, the Pu Ermeng of erosion, had already been condensed, but they appeared beside Lu Chen.
Seeing Lu Chen's complete sleep and the two ghosts and gods guarding the side, Ji Hongdie didn't dare to approach.
And the tired Lu Chen didn't notice that at this time, there were not only barbarians coming over from the village, but also several merchants, as well as two women in black clothes, who were also in the camp.
Ji Hongdie is indeed very capable, when Lu Chen has not come over, he just chose the address, and Ji Hongdie, as Lu Chen's affairs officer, contacted the businessmen who were willing to invest in Lu Chen, and asked them to transport the materials from Yunzhou when Lu Chen opened up his territory.
And when Lu Chen established the first Chen village and led the team to other addresses to establish the village, the merchants who had set off in advance had already arrived, and at the same time, they also brought a large amount of supplies.
Food, weapons, armor, and herbs were the first supplies that the merchants sent to the village, and they were all needed urgently, and at a low price.
Bringing in supplies that the tribe urgently needs, and selling them at a low price, is a bit unlike a mercenary businessman.
But if you really think so, it can only show that you are narrow-minded.
It's true that those merchants don't trade at a loss, but the truly powerful ones never just make money.
The reason why they gave up so many interests was not anything else, but because they wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Chen and gain Lu Chen's favor.
The favor of a strong person, especially the top strong person, is sometimes not something that can be measured by price at all, and at some moments, this favor can even save people's lives.
Therefore, in order to make Lu Chen happy, they prepared their own supplies, guards, and rushed to Lu Chen's tribe in the starry night, and sold a large number of materials to Lu Chen at a low price.
But at this time, seeing the tired Lu Chen, their hearts were directly cold.
"It's a failure, how can it be a failure!"
"Calm down, that thirteenth prince is indeed strong, but walking in the wilderness, even a legend in the realm cannot be said to be safe, His Royal Highness the prince is likely to encounter an unstoppable evil. ”
"I don't care what happened to that Highness, I only care what we should do?"
"What else can I do, continue to invest. ”
Looking at his companion's eyes like a madman, the tall Yunzhou man who said that he would continue to invest was very calm.
"That lord was indeed defeated, and even killed the sons of a dozen leaders and nearly a hundred warriors, but even so, so what!" Turning his head, the tall merchant said word by word, "Do you think the royal court will give up on this prince?"
These words calmed down the somewhat impatient businessman, he thought of Lu Chen's strength, and thought of Lu Chen's ability to sweep the Yunzhou genius alone.
And thinking of this, the merchant already knew what the royal court was doing.
"I won't give up, although there will be a punishment in the royal court this time, at most a small punishment, or not let this prince establish a village again, but even if he is trapped in the royal court, with that prince's talent, he will become the leader of a legion. ”
"Isn't that very clear, we won't lose money on this investment. ”
This world is so unfair, one failure of others means losing everything, but Lu Chen's high talent means that he has several chances to start over.
Genius with his own preferential treatment.
It's just that he said that he wouldn't lose money, but the tall businessman's face was uncomfortable.
Obviously, he still wants to have a good relationship with a prince who can become a barbarian king rather than investing in a legion commander.
Although, even if Lu Chen fails, he still earns, but the loss in his heart is inevitable.
And just when he was uncomfortable, the impatient merchant spoke: "Investment continues, but what about the price of our goods?"
"This could be improved a little bit. ”
No matter where, the merchant's temperament is not worth overestimating.
The businessman who brought the supplies was discussing, and on the other side, the two black-robed women looked at Lu Chen, who was lying in the bath and was asleep, and their faces were also full of embarrassment.
"Failed, I didn't expect this guy to fail too. ”
It was a somewhat charming girl's voice that said this, or Lu Chen's familiar voice.
If Lu Chen woke up, he would know that Yi Rong of the Yinshan faction had come to him according to Lu Chen's instructions.
She also had to come, Lu Chen's words in the ring completely blocked the possibility of their master and the two returning to Yunzhou.
As long as they return, the two of them will become the scapegoats for Yunzhou's failure this time, so they can only come over.
But when they came over, they didn't expect to be hit head-on.
Lu Chen failed, which also means that the two of them who want to follow Lu Chen will have a hard time.
However, at this time, Yi Rong didn't think of this, she just looked at Lu Chen in the bath, and didn't believe that he would lose when he had always won the battle.
Obviously, because of Lu Chen's winning record and the worship of "heroes" in this era, she does not have the mood of personality worship.
But her master is very calm.
"Defeat is inevitable, there is no invincible person, but even when he is the most arrogant, he is only known as invincible at the same level, he should be defeated by the evil hands above him. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Accepting Lu Chen's failure, Yi Rong felt that the myth in her heart was broken, and because of this, she thought about something more realistic.
And these words made Yi Rong's master look at her with some apologies.
"Although he has failed, others are still alive, and the royal court will not give up on him. ”
Master Yi Rong didn't say much, but Yi Rong, who was quite smart, already understood the meaning.
"I see, master. ”
The apprentice raised by her like a daughter is very smart and obedient, but it makes her master even more uncomfortable.
But you'd better be careful these days, barbarians are rude, and after failure, they will vent their anger and deplenate, and when the time comes, you will be patient...... Otherwise, let's go, Yunzhou can't return, we can go to the Central Plains. ”
These words made Yi Rong's face a little miserable.
"Needless to say, master, we all have the mark of the Yinshan faction on our bodies, once we leave the protection of His Royal Highness the Prince, we will definitely be hunted down by the Yinshan faction, and we will not be able to escape at all. ”
By Lu Chen's side, the Yinshan faction would be jealous of the royal court and would not chase after him, but if he left Lu Chen's side, everything would be different.
"Don't worry, master, I'll be patient. ”
With that, Yi Rong strode towards the dozen or so warriors who had followed Lu Chen.
Yi Rong was not the only one who did this, the sons of the leaders such as Ji Hongdie and Manxiong also passed, although they felt that Lu Chen had failed, but they wanted to ask what happened.
As the consul of the Chen tribe passed, those merchants wanted to negotiate the price of the materials with Ji Hongdie, and they also followed.
Soon, a group of people surrounded a dozen or so warriors.
Like Lu Chen, these fighters can be regarded as running around for two days and two nights in a row, and their bodies are already very tired.
But because most of the evil spirits were eliminated by Lu Chen, they could rest during the day, so they could still hold on at this time, and they were full of excitement and pride.
Excited about the rapid establishment of a main town, six sub-villages, and proud to witness it all.
"Five days to build a safe place, what His Highness has done is definitely worthy of the name of a hero. ”
"Of course, His Highness is a hero, and if we who follow His Highness are compiled into an epic, we will also pass it on. ”
"One hundred and seventy-two warriors who followed the king, I like this name very much. ”
Excited, they also saw the arrival of Ji Hongdie.
Although Lu Chen, who didn't like being a barbarian, married a Yunzhou man and let her take care of things, Lu Chen's prestige still made them quite respectful to Ji Hongdie.
At the same time, they are also ready to report the good news to Ji Hongdie.
It's just that before they could speak, they heard Ji Hongdie's words: "I can escape back, thank you for your hard work." But now you cannot rest, tell me what has happened to make the king fail. ”
"Failure, what failure?"
Ji Hongdie's words made those returning soldiers at a loss.
