Chapter 34: Jin Quandao
The welcome dinner in La Merburg was held for more than an hour, and for tomorrow's gambling battle, Guan Xiyi, the chief treasurer of Fortune Wings Bank, Zhang Tie and the patriarch of the Renard family, Connor, and the patriarch of the Willis family, Brightman, all had a peaceful and public exchange of opinions, showing the strong determination of Fortune Wings Bank as the guarantor of the performance of this gambling contract. At least on the surface, Fortune Wings Bank's attitude is indeed impartial, fair and strict, and it is precisely this that makes the representatives of the wealthy families of the Ewindara Islands smile when they leave La Mer Castle at the end of the dinner, as if they have won this gambling battle.
Tomorrow, both the Ice Wasteland and the Ewindara Islands have accepted the invitation of the Fortune Wings Bank, and each side can send 100 people to board the Fortune Wings Bank's flying boat and fly together over the decisive sea area of the two fleets to supervise and watch the battle of the two fleets on the spot.
All the qiΔ will be known tomorrow.
Zhang Tie seemed a little absent-minded, and the shadow of that guy Tang De always flashed in his mind.
In the interval of the dinner, Zhang Tie pulled Mrs. Olena and whispered a few words in Mrs. Olenna's ear, Mrs. Olina looked at Zhang Tie, and then glanced at Tang De, who was with a representative of a certain family in the Ewendala Islands in the distance, and nodded slightly.
The central figures of the whole dinner were Guan Xiyi, the shopkeeper of Jinpeng Bank, and the beautiful female knight named Gongsun Liniang, and other entourages of Jinpeng Bank, as well as dozens of people, except for a few managers like Xu Tao, who were a little eye-catching, the other entourages were not eye-catching. Therefore, more than ten minutes before the end of the dinner, Tang De was taking a glass of wine from one of the attendants in La Merburg. He saw the small note pressed under the wine glass, and then disappeared into the banquet hall without attracting anyone's attention.
After the whole dinner was over and the people from the Ewindara Islands and Fortune Wings Bank had left La Mercastle, Zhang Tie cleaned up his mood and returned to a study room on the second floor of La Merbourg.
Standing in front of the door of the secret room, Zhang Tie stood still for a few seconds. Then he took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked inside.
Zhang Tie went in. I saw that the guy Tang De was sitting in the wine cabinet in the study where he was pouring himself a drink, his face was slightly red, and he looked like he was happy, and the few bottles and bottles that Mrs. Olena had collected in the wine cabinet were all taken out by this guy. There are bottles. It's empty.
This bastard!
Zhang Tie walked over, took a cup by himself, and then unceremoniously snatched the bottle of wine from Tang De's hand, poured himself a glass, and then dried it up.
"Ah, don't be so violent, this kind of superb crystal agave, at least half a minute in the mouth. You will taste good when you drink it......" Tang De shouted that guy, and then snatched the wine bottle from Zhang Tie's hand. I was very disgusting and took a sip directly from the wine bottle with my mouth, and went back some of it, then put down the wine bottle, looked at Zhang Tie proudly, and squeezed my eyebrows, "Hehe, no one will come to rob me now!" β
This bastard hasn't changed at all, he's an iron rooster, and then he always likes to use disgusting methods to dominate good things.
Zhang Tie laughed, "How do you know it's me?" β
"Do you think I'm the only one who can do the art of the ear?" Speaking of business, Tang De's eyes finally had some brilliance, "When you first made a big splash in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, we knew your identity!" β
"Manager Xu Tao?" Zhang Tie reacted suddenly.
Tang De nodded, "Originally, Manager Xu Tao didn't know that you were Zhang Tie, but when we sent your information back to Taixia, we found out that you were Zhang Tie!" β
"Ah, how is that possible?"
"The book you gave me "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" made me a great achievement, originally I wanted to wait for you to return to Taixia in a few years to give you a wealth and a future, so when I returned to Taixia, I handed over your information to the organization completely, so that you can register in the organization first, and your information contains your ear print code!"
Zhang Tie knows what the earprint code is, when observing and analyzing an ear with the art of the ear, the different features and structures of the different parts and areas of the ear can actually be replaced by a certain number, and the number is connected, which is a person's earprint code, in the eyes of people who know it, as long as you see the earprint code, you can accurately draw and restore all the details of a person's ear, each person's earprint code is unique, and the possibility of repetition is It's dozens of times less likely than two different people having the same fingerprint.
Tang De sighed, "Although you used a disguise potion when you first came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, the disguise medicine will not change your ear characteristics and structure, and there are racial differences between the Chinese ear pattern structure and the non-Chinese ear pattern structure in several key places, so at that time, Manager Xu Tao knew that you were Peter. Hamples may have other identities, Xu Tao manager put Peter. Hamples' earprint code was passed back and asked the organization to help confirm the analysis, what was the result, and after putting Peter. After Hamples' earprint code was entered into the giant differential machine in our organization, it only took a few seconds for that machine to call up the information about you that I had handed over to the organization. Hamples, it's the boy named Zhang Tie in Black Flame City......"
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Tie could only be speechless, he didn't expect that when he first came to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, his hidden identity had already been exposed, this is really not as good as the sky, such a result actually confirms a sentence again, a sentence that Tang De said to him before - no matter how clever a liar is, he can only deceive everyone at some time, and some people at all times, but it is impossible to deceive everyone at all times.
Zhang Tie also sighed, took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet again, and opened it, just like that guy from Tang De. He took a few big sips of the bottle.
Tang De looked at Zhang Tie's face seriously, "Well, you should have used some kind of high-level disguise potion that can make some subtle adjustments to the muscles and bones of your face now." If you don't take a closer look, I may not recognize you! β
Tang De's words made Zhang Tie regain a little more confidence, fortunately, no matter how powerful the organization behind Tang De was, it was impossible for that organization to know everything, the matter of his awakened phantom body. The others didn't know that this at least left a pair of pants for themselves, and didn't strip themselves naked all at once.
"The organization behind you is Jinpeng Bank?" Zhang Tie asked Tang De.
"It should be said. Fortune Wings Bank is just one part of our organization! β
Even a behemoth like Jinpeng Bank is only a part of the organization behind Tang De, Zhang Tie was really shocked, Zhang Tie's eyes widened, "What is the organization behind you?" β
I was surprised to see Zhang Tie. Don De smiled lewdly. seemed to like seeing Zhang Tie's surprised expression, "The Seven Great Sects of Taixia, have you heard of it?" β
"The Seven Great Sects?" I really haven't heard of this Zhang Tie.
"Tianji Sect, Demon Killing Valley, Taiyi Xuanmen, Zhitian Pavilion, Jinquan Dao, Qionglou. Penglai Wonderland, this is the seven major sects of Taixia. Fortune Wings Bank and I both belong to Jinquandao! Speaking of Jin Quandao, a rare proud expression appeared on the face of this guy Tang De.
Kim Quandao? This kind of organization full of domineering and tyrant names is the force behind Tang De? Look at the other Tianji Mountain, Demon Killing Valley, Taiyi Xuanmen, Qionglou and Penglai Wonderland, etc., when you hear it, you will be tall, this golden power road is placed here, and when you hear it, it is like a nouveau riche breaking into the salon of a group of artists......
"Is Jin Quandao strong?"
"Of all the goods in Taixia, twenty percent of them are business groups under the Golden Power Road, and the banks are circulating, do you say that the Golden Power Road is strong?"
Twenty percent of all the goods in Taixia are in circulation between the merchant groups and the banks under the guΓ² gold power road? Zhang Tie was really surprised, two percent of the goods, even in a country like Jin Yun and the Norman Empire, the organization that can circulate two percent of a country's goods is terrifying, not to mention the entire Taixia, Zhang Tie can't imagine what kind of Cheng dΓΉ the power of this Jin Quandao is, no wonder he dares to name it after the word Jin and the word Quan, the one with the extreme power is close to the Tao, and when the money and wealth under control reach a certain level, it can indeed be "close to the Tao".
"What are you coming to me for?"
"You should have guessed!" Tang De smiled, put his hand into his arms, took out a booklet from his arms and put it in front of Zhang Tie, "You can take a look now and understand what kind of organization Qiandao is, and what are your rights and obligations after joining?" β
Zhang Tie silently took the booklet without any words on the cover, opened it, and looked at it at a glance and ten lines, the knight's strong memory and browsing ability played a role at this time, the booklet of more than thirty pages, Zhang Tie read it all in less than two minutes.
After reading the booklet, Zhang Tie's heart was only shocked, the power of Jin Quandao was completely beyond Zhang Tie's imagination, the boss of the organization of Qian Dao, known as the big dragon head, was actually one of the nine Qings of Taixia - the great Sinong who was in charge of the country's finance, taxation, money valley and commerce and trade. The purpose of the organization is only eight words: to increase the country's wealth internally, and to increase the world's wealth externally. Vaguely, Zhang Tie seemed to see the shadow of the Taixia royal family behind Jin Quandao......
The whole Jinquandao is clearly hierarchical, under the big dragon head, is the dragon head, under the dragon head, is the mountain master, under the mountain master, is the order master, and then the big treasurer, and then behind is the treasurer, deacon, disciples, in addition to the big dragon head, the rest of each level, are divided into bronze, silver, gold, etc., the whole organization is divided into twenty-two levels, and its members are also bright and dark, the so-called bright, that is, the members of the organization will disclose their identity of the golden power, and the so-called dark, is the identity of the members of the organization is not disclosed, only some people within the organization know.
One of the strange things about this Golden Power Dao is that even if you join this organization, it will not affect you from joining other organizations and sects, as long as you can keep the secret of the Golden Power Dao. Of course, if you can't be conservative, they will also ask people to "help you" to be conservative.
"What was your previous identity in Black Flame City?" Zhang Tie asked Tang De.
"Darksilver disciple!"
"And now?"
"Deacon Bright Gold!" This guy Tang De said with a shy face, after all, his position as a bright gold deacon. still relied on the book "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" that Zhang Tie gave him, if it weren't for the "Zhu Xin Shen Shu", he would have been in Heiyan City for so many years. Even if you go back, at most, you will be a bright gold or dark gold level disciple gangster, where can you become a bright gold level deacon.
"What level am I at when I join?"
"If you join, your level will be the dark gold treasurer, the same level as the Guan Xiyi treasurer, and enjoy the same rights, and the big treasurer is bright gold. His identity is public, while yours is hidden! β
"How many of the people who came this time know my true identity?"
"Except for me and the big treasurer. No one else knows! Manager Xu Tao provided some clues, but there was no need for the headquarters to give him feedback on the complete situation, he only knew that this time it was related to you, but he didn't know your other identity. Of course. If he sees the people of your Huaiyuantang Zhang family and those who are related to you, if he has a good memory, he may also find something related to you from those people, but no matter what he finds, he will not say it. Regarding your information, a net password has been issued within the organization. β
Tang De's answer was a bit unexpected by Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie originally thought that Manager Xu Tao and that Gongsun Liniang might know, but he didn't expect that even the two of them didn't know.
"Can I not join?"
"Yes. One qiΔ is yours! Tang De said indifferently, while quickly snatching the small notebook from Zhang Tie's hand. Then he began to dig his nostrils with his hands, with a ruffian face, "If you really join in, Lao Tzu will have to take the initiative to salute you when he sees you in the future, and he has to look at your boy's face, it's not cool to think about it, if it wasn't for business this time, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to come!" β
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......", Zhang Tie laughed, "Okay, don't come with me, I'll think about it!" β
"Okay, business is over, then it's my private business!" Tang De clapped his hands, and his face showed a pig brother's appearance, "That, you kid advanced to knight so quickly, I know you must have a secret, but I don't covet your secret, you just need to help me a little, I have returned to Taixia in the past few years, I have enjoyed some resources, and now I have advanced to level five, if I can advance to another level, it will be level six, that ...... That body lΓ¬ will be good...... There are so many women around you, you know...... Look, can you help me advance to level six? β
"Well, it's simple, you just need to try to be struck by lightning a few times, if you don't die, maybe you will also be struck by lightning to have some special abilities, and you may be able to advance to the knight all of a sudden!" Zhang Tie Zhengse said.
Tang De looked at Zhang Tie with some suspicion, "Really! β
"Of course, but before you go to try, it's best to sue me first, I'll buy you a few more insurances, you taught me, grasshoppers are also meat on their legs, this kind of opportunity to make a fortune, we can't waste it, right!"
Tang De gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Tie, "There are a bunch of big beauties with big butts around you, you kid is cool every day, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young, let others be happy, Lao Tzu used to be good to you!" β
Zhang Tie also stared at him, "You are an old man, the bright spot on your body is the lantern of my house, I can light it if I want to, if you want to be good, I will give you a secret, you run fifty kilometers a day, and then do 10,000 push-ups, abstinence for three years, don't think of any shortcuts, first train your fat body, and ensure that you are alive and well in bed!" β
The two men stared at each other, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"You bastard!"
The two scolded each other at the same time, then scolded each other, and then laughed together......
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the friendship between the two has not changed.
β¦β¦
Tang De, who had completed the task, quietly returned to the flying boat of Jinpeng Bank parked outside the Blue Castle, while Zhang Tie slowly thought about and digested the new things that Tang De had brought to him today, thinking about Jin Quandao.
Since even outsiders know about it, Zhang Tie feels that his identity should also find a suitable time and opportunity, so that a few elders of Huaiyuan Hall also know about it, and if he hides it, it will really be a bit indistinguishable.
Through this matter, Zhang Tie also understood a truth, there are always some things in this world that will jump out of anyone's control, and no one can let a person in this world show it according to his own will.
In the same way, the wealthy families of the Ewendala Islands, who were counting on the outcome of tomorrow's decisive battle of the fleet, would probably be disappointed.
