Chapter 187: Demands and Gossip

"Crunch."

Zhou Chao pushed open the door and walked into the room.

What caught my eye was a room similar to before, but there was no curtain in the middle, Mrs. Dongming, who was dressed in plain white clothes, and Shan Wanjing sat next to each other at a round table, and the moment she heard the door, she looked up at Zhou Chao who walked in the door.

The corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and although it is not obvious, it gives the appearance that she is smiling. Shan Wanjing had round eyes and slightly tufted brows, looking disgusted and not rude.

"Childe, please be seated." Mrs. Dongming glanced at the low stool opposite her and whispered.

Zhou Chao was not polite, and went straight to the table and sat down.

Then there was a knock at the door, and it was closed again by the maidservant who had led him.

Mrs. Dongming reached out and grabbed the teapot on the table, took the teacup made of white porcelain, and gave Zhou Chaozhen a cup of Luo Chun in the sound of "whooshing" water.

"Childe, please." Mrs. Dongming put down the teapot and gently pushed the teacup in front of Zhou Chao with her hand.

"Thank you." Zhou Chao stretched out his hand to pinch the cup, and his index finger touched the rim of the cup. Of course, this is not a meaningless small action, but he did it intentionally, he read various martial arts novels during school, and later he was influenced by the majority of TV dramas, but he has not forgotten the scene that often appears between the two - a man is dizzy when he drinks water (tea, wine).

Although Mrs. Dongming should have no reason to do this at this time, just in case, Zhou Chao still secretly cast a detection magic without a trace, checking whether there were any substances in the water that could harm him.

The result was not bad, the water did not change into a strange color under the stimulation of magic, proving that there were no harmful substances in it.

Immediately, Zhou Chao picked up the teacup with confidence, brought it to his mouth and drank it gently.

"Sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not thick, fragrant and elegant, like a girl in spring. Sure enough, it's good tea. Zhou Chao said softly in admiration. Then he put down the teacup and looked at Mrs. Dongming, mother and daughter with a smile on their faces.

"Madame is ready?"

"Although it is not complete, it should still be able to deal with Childe's orders." Mrs. Dongming smiled.

"Hmph." Shan Wanjing snorted and turned her gaze to the side.

"Then I'll be blunt." Zhou Chao slightly restrained the expression on his face, looked at Mrs. Dongming with a stern face, and said, "One, from now on, the intelligence network of the Dongming faction will be handed over as a whole, and my subordinates will be in charge. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Dongming's expression remained unchanged, quietly waiting for the next step of the Zhou Dynasty. Contrarily. Shan Wanjing looked at Zhou Chao again, but her face became ugly.

"Second, all children under the age of 12 in the faction will be transferred to the base city located in the Dongming faction's settlement area hundreds of miles away, and all knowledge will be taught separately by our personnel except for martial arts."

Mrs. Dongming frowned slightly, and the smile on her face disappeared. And Shan Wanjing is even more angry, and she has the meaning that she is going to copy the guy and fight again.

"Third, since then, the Dongming faction has ceased to trade in large quantities of weapons, but it can accept small orders. And other than that. The Dongming faction also needs to go through the guò channel and make every effort to collect all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and martial arts cheats for me. ”

However, this time, Mrs. Dongming and Shan Wanjing were unexpectedly unexpected, and there were no big fluctuations in their relationship. But when you think about it, it makes sense.

After all, when they agreed to the merger of forces, they were ready to make a complete decision on the arms business. It can be said that it is completely unexpected that they can still be left with a way to live, and they really have no reason to express any dissatisfaction with this.

"Is that all?" Mrs. Dongming asked softly.

"That's it for now, if you think of anything in the future. I'll keep you informed later. Zhou Chao thought about it, and after really not having any requirements for the time being, he shook his head lightly and said.

But immediately after. His expression was stunned, and he said again as if he had just remembered something, "Oh, by the way, the account books of your past transactions with various forces are still in your hands." ”

"What? Do you still want the ledger to be unsuccessful? Shan Wanjing couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, slapped the table and got up with a bang, and shouted at Zhou Chaojiao.

"Wanjing, don't be rude to your son!" Mrs. Dongming's face sank, and she reprimanded softly. Of course, the tone used was more pampering than reprimanding, which made Zhou Chaobei, who was listening on the sidelines, speechless. Do you need to give me face like this?

"Mother!" Shan Wanjing said stubbornly.

"Wanjing, sit down." Mrs. Dongming's voice was raised, and she reprimanded again.

"Mother! Hum! Shan Wanjing was helpless, sat down again angrily, and turned her head to the side with a look of being out of sight and out of mind.

"The account book is indeed still in the hands of the concubine, I don't know if the prince wants to ......" After suppressing Shan Wanjing, Mrs. Dongming looked at Zhou Chao again and asked lightly.

"Your destination this time is Yuhang, right?" Zhou Chao didn't answer directly, but asked an irrelevant question that couldn't be hit with eight strokes.

"Exactly." Mrs. Dongming wondered.

Zhou Chao nodded and replied, "If my expectations are correct, there should be twists and turns in this trip to Yuhang, and there may be someone who will come to steal the account books of the Dongming faction, and I ask Madame to pay more attention." ”

"The concubine understands, thank you for the reminder." Mrs. Dongming's eyes flashed, and she said thoughtfully.

"But if it is two young men of fifteen or sixteen years old who come to steal the account book, then please don't embarrass them too much, and find an opportunity for them to steal the account book as they please." After a pause, Zhou Chao said with a look of too much possibility. After all, those two teenagers should have already broken away from the tricks of the original book because of his influence, unless there is really such a thing as world correction, it is basically impossible for the two of them to appear here during this time period and intersect with Dongming!

"Oh?" Mrs. Dongming's expression was shocked, and she looked at Zhou Chao in surprise.

"Madame, take it as a whim of mine." Zhou Chao shook his head slightly.

Mrs. Dongming tapped Hazel lightly, not asking.

Then Zhou Chao stayed in Mrs. Dongming's room for a while, and then said goodbye and left, and entered another clean room under the leadership of the previous pretty maid Ruyin, and sat on the bed to think.

He was thinking about nothing else than about his own fighting.

Yes, question!

After the previous battle with Mrs. Dongming, the Zhou Dynasty showed many problems in its own combat system. One of them is that there is more than enough high-power attack and control methods, but the usual attack methods are somewhat lacking, and in the face of siege, there is also a lack of effective counterattack methods, only the ability of wide-area explosion and magic single counterattack two methods.

This is not the appearance that a serious Dharma master should have. Although he himself is not serious, it is not a normal way to go to the Dharma Master......

"Is there any way to increase your usual offensive means?" Zhou Chao looked at the battle scene between himself, Mrs. Dongming, and Princess Dongming played in the nerve connection device in front of him, and said secretly in his heart.

The answer is yes, and there are many more, but when summed up in all, there are actually only two points. One. It's re-learning. Second, find a way to activate the knowledge in your hands, so that the magic you master can achieve unexpected results in more unexpected aspects, and open up new magic.

The former is the easiest, as long as you find the right world.

For example, the world of the magician's apprentice.

For example, the world of the Magic Catalog.

For example, the world of the moon and so on.

The latter is a test of people's wisdom and creativity. However, the corresponding return is also large, not only can I break free from the rules and regulations of dead study, but also embark on the road of real independent research, and lay a certain foundation for my future path to becoming a teacher.

So in terms of tendency, the Zhou Dynasty still wants to choose the second category. But so it goes. Another question had to be put in front of him, that is, did he have enough knowledge? Enough to the point where he can combine the magic of creation at will?!

And the truth is clearly not!

Therefore, after all the calculations, the Zhou Dynasty had only one choice, and that was to re-select the world for more in-depth magic cultivation. As for why not return to the world of Harry Potter for further study. First of all, the identity problem is difficult to solve. The second is that he already has enough books in that world, and if he really needs them, he can study them on his own. Last but not least. That is, the magic of the world of Harry Potter is obviously more than controlled, and the combat is insufficient! Otherwise, as a Zhou Dynasty who practiced the magic of the Harry Potter world, why would he have to find another place to re-study?

"Hmm...... For the time being, let's review the knowledge and magic you've already mastered, and then supplement it to study the Runi script. Try to use this as a basis to create combat magic that can be applied, and wait until you leave the world of Datang to find a place to learn new content. After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chao decided in his heart. Then he put aside those useless thoughts, and took out the most basic magic book, "Theory of Magic", and re-studied it.

……

And just as the Zhou Dynasty revised his situation and rededicated himself to the study of magic, Lady Dongming and her daughter Shan Wanjing, who were in another room, argued because of him.

"Mother, I don't understand why you agreed to those conditions! Can't you see that he is breaking the foundation of our Dongming faction? Shan Wanjing said loudly.

Her words are true, whether it is taking over the intelligence system, or taking in school-age children, or cutting off the large-scale arms trade, they are all breaking the foundation of the Dongming faction.

The former will make the Dongming faction lose its eyes and ears and become absent. Children's education can cut off the inheritance of the Dongming faction and make them lose the fresh blood that will continue. As for the final large-scale arms deal, it was completely to cut off the existence of the Dongming faction. Although this last one is a must-have in the question......

"Mother knows. Do you think that's what your mother wants? Mrs. Dongming said softly.

"Then why ......," Shan Wanjing wondered.

"My mother had to promise him." Mrs. Dongming sighed and said, "Don't you see the terrifying majesty when he was holding the strange light cutting hull at that time...... Mother believes that as long as he is willing at that time, he can destroy the entire Dongming in an instant with a single effort, not to mention the lives of our mother and daughter. My mother didn't have a choice. ”

"......, even if that's the case, he shouldn't use that treasure without any price, right? Why didn't my mother gather people to take him down afterwards? Shan Wanjing was silent for a moment and said again.

"Can you be sure that treasure he can only use that once? Can you be sure he doesn't have any more hole cards in his hand? Can you be sure that my mother will be able to take him down? Mrs. Dongming did not answer Shan Wanjing's question, but directly threw out three rhetorical questions in a row.

Shan Wanjing was silent.

"This matter is here, maybe following him is another opportunity for our Dongming faction to grow." Mrs. Dongming shook her head slightly, and fixed the coffin.

Shan Wanjing still didn't speak, but her expression was a little gloomy and complicated, and she sat down on the low stool next to her.

……

About two days later, the Dongming sailed out of the offshore and followed the estuary of the Jinghang Grand Canal to the vicinity of Yuhang Wharf.

At the same time, two official ships that had been in front of the channel quickly approached and docked next to the Dongming. The son surnamed Shang, who was standing on the deck of the Dongming, threw down the rope ladder and greeted several servants of the official ship.

At this time, a female disciple with a single surname stepped forward, exchanged a few words with the official messenger, and then called, and then officially sailed into the dock under the guidance of the official ship and anchored.

Then the disciples with the surname Shang got off the boat and disappeared into the vast sea of people.

"Childe, don't you go down and have a look?" Mrs. Dongming asked.

"Not for now, I'll go down when it's over." Zhou Chao shook his head lightly and said.

Mrs. Dongming nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "That son-in-law is at his own convenience, and the concubine still has some things to deal with, so she won't accompany her son." ”

"Madame is gone, I am not so noble, and I need beauty by my side all the time." Zhou Chao said with a smile.

Mrs. Dongming smiled noncommittally, turned and slipped into the cabin.

Zhou Chao, who was left alone, looked at the prosperous Yuhang Wharf on the deck for a while, and then returned to the room and continued to study the "Research on Modern Witchcraft Exhibition".

Time passed, and time came late at night in a blink of an eye.

Then, at this moment, a chaotic and eager footsteps rang out in the corridor of the cabin, interrupting Zhou Chao's study.

Zhou Chao frowned, closed the book, got up from the bed, put away his things and walked to the door, opened the door, stretched out his hand to stop a disciple surnamed Shang who was rushing out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The disciple surnamed Shang, who was stopped for no reason, was angry at first, but after seeing who stopped him, he hurriedly bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted, "Hui Gongzi, someone attacked the ship at night......" (to be continued!)
