Chapter 434: The Age of Sail

"Sure enough, it appeared." I muttered to myself as I stared at the entrance of the venue.

"What did you say?" Wan Liang copper didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, I said the guy who walked in just now doesn't look like a big deal." I said casually.

"It should be a certain noble son, there are a lot of such people, and I can't know everyone." Wan Liangtong squinted at a pair of old eyes for a long time before he said.

You know the ghosts!

I watched as the man disappeared into the end of the box aisle.

Wang Ziyun!

...... 'here it is again' dividing line...... Happy Holidays, all of you, (congratulations on the Hidden Achievement, Blessing of the Mystery...... The following will be updated within tonight (I don't know how long it will take)......

As for the reason why Wanwuhua is supported by many elders......

"Have you ever heard of the legendary Yanzhou Three Calamities?" Wan Liang Copper asked me.

"Three disasters in Yanzhou?" I frowned, feeling a little familiar with the name, but I didn't seem to have heard of it in my memory.

"When I took you into the city, didn't there be a statue of the Three Calamities?" Wan Wusheng reminded.

"Oh." It dawned on me.

When I first entered Yanzhou City, I saw a large Huanggang stone with a strange shape standing in the middle of the street, and Wan Wusheng introduced it as a statue called the Three Disasters at that time, in order to commemorate the people of Yanzhou who died in the Three Disasters.

"The so-called three plagues are floods, locust plagues, and plagues." Wan Liang Tong Dao, "The incident happened three years ago, when a Taoist priest came to Yanzhou City, declaring that Yanzhou City was about to face a catastrophe, and persuaded the people of Yanzhou City to flee quickly. No one believed the Taoist priest's words, and the prefect of Yanzhou even said that he was lying to confuse the public, and he was arrested and put in prison - only three days later, the disaster really happened. ”

First of all, the flood overflowed, turning Yanzhou City into a Ze country.

Then there were the flying locusts that covered the sky and ate up the farmland of the eighteen towns in Yanzhou Prefecture.

Eventually, a large-scale plague broke out in various parts of Yanzhou, and mass graves piled up with corpses, and people could fall and die at any time on the side of the road.

"At that time, the people who quelled the three disasters and rescued countless people in Yanzhou were all gone!" Wan Liang Tong said slowly.

"No flowers?" I raised my eyebrows, "He's not an immortal, how can he calm the three plagues?" ”

"That's right, legend has it that at that time, Wan Wuhua summoned the dragon in the river and quelled the flood; and he cast a secret trick to disperse the locusts; Finally, he took out a prescription and took it according to the prescription, and the epidemic was quickly controlled. Wan Wusheng answered my question, "Because of this incident, Wan Wuhua's reputation in Yanzhou is completely a thousand miles away, you don't see that on the Three Calamities Stone, there is a snake on top of a person - that person is Wan Wuhua." ”

"This ...... It's like a myth. I said.

"It's a myth." Wan Wusheng said disdainfully, "What Jiaolong, what spell casting, I didn't see it with one eye, there is a prescription for the plague, but it's not free-anyway, if you want to say that Wan Wuhua has such great ability, I don't believe it first, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really has it, I don't believe in those old oils in the Chamber of Commerce...... His predecessors would support him as president because of these things. ”

Wan Wusheng also has his truth in saying this.

Saving the people from fire and water is indeed a matter that makes people's prestige skyrocket, but for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, this prestige can only be the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to become a decisive factor.

After all, the main task of the president of the Chamber of Commerce is to make money rather than help the world.

"It's all true." Wan Liang Tong said suddenly.

"Really...... It's true? Wan Wusheng's eyes widened, "No, Wan Wuhua's deeds, I have asked many people in the family, and they either said that they didn't know, or they couldn't say clearly, and none of them had seen it with their own eyes." ”

Speaking of which, in this era, there are not many eyes on the sky that are staring at you in turn, and even if you do the next earth-shattering thing, it can only be spread through the mouth of the people.

That's a lot of water.

"That's because you're asking the wrong person." Wan Liang Tong said, "What you should ask is ordinary people, many people have seen the things of Wan Wuhua with their own eyes - Wan Wuhua saved the flood, which is equivalent to helping our two houses keep the waterway and cargo ship; Disperse the locusts is equivalent to holding the farmland and crops for the West Zifang; The treatment of the plague is equivalent to preserving the entire Wanzihao business in Yanzhou - how can the family not support him for such a monstrous achievement? ”

Wan Wusheng sat down with a stunned face, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Third Master." I picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The thing...... It shouldn't be that simple, right? ”

"Why do you think it's not easy?" 10,000 taels of copper road.

"Why are there only ordinary people who see what Wan Wuhua has done, and there are no people from thousands of families?" I asked rhetorically.

"Could it be because of ......" Wan Liang Tong squinted, "At the moment of the disaster, the rich people can hide as far as they can, and the remaining poor people have nowhere to hide, they watched the tragedy happen, and naturally witnessed the whole process of solving the disaster." ”

"Makes sense." I muttered, "But...... The eyes of the common people do not grow in the sky. ”

When the scale of a disaster is larger, the more difficult it is to know the details of the disaster - if the dragon retreats from the flood, there is a giant dragon as evidence, then who spread the two things of dispersing locusts and curing the plague?

"Hey, hey." Wan Liang Tong laughed twice.

Hearing him smirk like this, I immediately knew that Wan Wuhua's rescue of the three disasters must involve a certain secret of the Wan family, and even Wan Wusheng, the direct descendant of the Wan family, was kept in the dark, not to mention me and Xu Lang?

"This tea is really good...... Xu Lang hurriedly came out to ease the atmosphere, "Look, someone is here again." ”

Following Huyan Mixed Jade and Wan Invincible, the number of distinguished guests who entered the venue in the third batch seemed to be a bit large.

And these people have fierce eyes, dark skin, and more or less scars on their bodies, and they are not good at first glance.

But surrounded by this group of ruthless people, it was a gentle and elegant white-faced scholar, who looked like him was about thirty years old.

"I didn't expect him to come." Ten thousand taels of copper said unexpectedly.

"Who is he?" I frowned.

"Qiao Dagger, the chief scoop of the fifty-one halls of the thirteen mountains and nineteen villages in southwest Kyushu, the real underworld giant." Ten thousand taels of bronze road, "The list of legendary figures ranked 723rd. ”

"Isn't that more powerful than the Talon King?" I gasped.

The Talon King's ranking on the list of legends is only 958.

"Can't compare." Wan Liang Tong shook his head and said, "Qiao Dagger has so many people and horses under his command that the imperial court not only does not dare to suppress him, but also has to appease him, each of the four King Kongs under his command has the same strength as the Eagle Claw King." ”
