Chapter 250: Listening to the News
Chen Tianci and Shen Ziyi walked on the street for a while and didn't see much useful news. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info soldiers on duty can be seen everywhere on the road, and there are checkpoints everywhere.
Chen Tianci has been checked several times along the way. "Why is the security here so tight?" A traveler on the side of the road asked very dissatisfied.
Chen Tianci was just about to leave with Shen Ziyi, and when he heard this question, his ears suddenly became erect. "No way, a group of nobles have come to the island recently, and the owner of the island is afraid that something will happen to them, so he has strengthened his vigilance. For this time, this can only be done. One soldier replied casually.
These heavily armed soldiers did not look like the arrogant soldiers that Chen Tianci usually came into contact with. They were very kind. Chen Tianci suddenly noticed the difference between the soldiers on this island.
"He said that there were some people on the island," Chen Tianci said softly to Shen Ziyi.
Shen Ziyi nodded slightly. At this moment, the two of them immediately thought of Song Shikai and the others who came to the island first. But the development of things surprised them a little.
Song Shikai and Xu Wenna do not seem to be hated by each other, but have been strictly protected. Is the number of soldiers on this island specially increased to protect them?
Chen Tianci couldn't help but have such a strange thought in his mind. "Let's go back first." Shen Ziyi leaned over to Chen Tianci and said softly.
Chen Tianci nodded slightly, and left quickly with Shen Ziyi. "What kind of person is this island owner?" Chen Tianci walked, walked, and suddenly asked.
Shen Ziyi thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen this person." But listening to Sister Bixin, it seems that she is a clansman who was expelled from her ancestral home by the Long family. Sister Bixin saw him pitiful back then, so she asked him to take the place of management on this White Shark Island. After all these years, he is probably in his fifties. ”
When Chen Tianci heard this, he was suddenly a little surprised. "So, Sister Bixin has a great favor to him?"
"yes." Shen Ziyi also said with some puzzlement, "So, when Sister Bixin said that she would give you this island, I felt a little incredible. Because she had already found someone to manage this island back then, why did she suddenly give it to you? ”
She said, thought for a moment, and continued: "If she really wants to give you an island, there are many small islands around Zijin City, she can pick an unmanaged island and give it to you." Why did you have to choose this island? ”
After listening to Shen Ziyi's words, Chen Tianci began to wonder in his heart. At first, he thought that this island was a place of trial for him to show his means. If he can successfully take over this small island, it will be equivalent to being recognized by Long Bixin.
But now, through this conversation with Shen Ziyi, Chen Tianci suddenly felt as if it was not the same thing. "What the hell does Sister Bixin want me to do here?" Chen Tianci secretly raised questions in his heart.
He looked up and noticed what seemed to be a lively building in the distance. He looked closely and saw that it was an open-air bar. A lot of tourists sit there and gossip.
Chen Tianci thought about it slightly, and had an idea in his heart. "Ziyi, you've been walking for so long, and you're tired. Let's go over there and sit down. Chen Tianci took Shen Ziyi's hand and said softly.
Shen Ziyi's face turned slightly red, nodded, and let Chen Tianci take her hand and lead her all the way to the open-air bar. They chose a shady place and ordered a few drinks at random.
Shen Ziyi looked at the crowd of people coming and going around him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect such a small island to be so lively." ”
As she spoke, she lay down with her back against the chaise longue. "It's nice air, too. Staying at the bottom of the sea all year round, it is rare to have such good air. The sun is so warm too, it's really a good place. Shen Ziyi said with a sigh.
Chen Tianci held a glass of draft beer in his hand, slowly took a few sips, his ears slightly pricked up, but he was eavesdropping on the gossip of the crowd around him. These tourists from all over the world, gathered in this place, will inevitably bring a lot of news.
And there are bound to be some questions about the changes to this small island. There may even be some regulars who have some opinions about the changes here.
Chen Tianci came to this place because of the above speculation, so he brought Shen Ziyi to this place. First, he can let Shen Ziyi enjoy the atmosphere here, and second, he can also listen to some news.
Chen Tianci listened attentively for a while, but did not hear particularly useful news. It's all innocuous things. Shen Ziyi noticed Chen Tianci's situation, she was extremely smart, but after thinking about it slightly, she immediately understood Chen Tianci's intentions.
She shook her head and smiled, got up and leaned over to Chen Tianci's side, and said softly, "You can walk around, maybe you can hear useful news." I'll just sit here alone. ”
Chen Tianci looked at Shen Ziyi, and his heart warmed slightly. He nodded, instructed Shen Ziyi to be more careful, and got up with his wine glass and walked towards the crowded place.
In the open-air bar, there are travelers from all over the world. There are different city-states and different countries. Chen Tianci walked and stopped in the crowd, playing the identity of an idle tourist, secretly listening to the conversation of the crowd around him.
Just as he was passing by a few tourists, he suddenly heard one of them say, "Hey, have you heard?" The island seems to be about to change owners. ”
When Chen Tianci heard the news, his footsteps suddenly stopped. It was a surprise to him to hear the news. Because of the fact that White Shark Island is going to change hands, there is no news to the outside world at all.
So how did this person find out? Chen Tianci quickly glanced around, found a closer position, and sat down slowly. The man who spoke earlier saw that he had attracted the attention of the people around him, and continued with some smugness: "You don't know. I listened to my cousin about this. He is the chief of guard at the side of the island owner. ”
"Oh? So, is this true? Someone asked with interest.
The man who spread the news nodded, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and patted the empty table in front of him. Everyone understood and laughed. "You kid aren't trying to trick us into buying you wine." Someone laughed.
The man smiled and said, "Believe it or not." As long as I have a drink, I have all the inside information here. Don't forget, my nickname is Jack of Trades. ”
"jack-of-all-trades. You're so poor that you're all tinkling, and you've come here all day long to cheat and drink with false news. I don't know about you yet! A tourist laughed at the jack-of-all-trades.
The face of the know-it-all suddenly turned red. "What I'm saying this time is true, it's true." He said with some annoyance.
Everyone around laughed. Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly, thought about it, and walked over. "Give me a bucket of good fruit ties!" Chen Tianci threw a big hand and threw a bag of silver coins on the table.
