Chapter 371: Captain Jack

In the midst of the reckless mountains, the muddy river rushed down, twisting like a giant snake, passing between the mountains. This is a tropical rainforest located in the territory of the Nissi country of Borneo. A dilapidated barge is struggling to navigate through it. It's the rainy season, and the river is so swollen that many broken trees and animal carcasses are drifting down the river.

The barge's owner, a muscular white man, was maneuvering the barge from the wheelhouse, avoiding the debris that drifted in from time to time. This part of Borneo was ruled by Western colonizers for many years, and it was only a few decades ago that it became an independent state.

There are many descendants of Western colonists who still live here, plus adventurers from all over the world, it can be said that there are a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people. Originally, in such a season, the owner of the ship, Jack, was reluctant to take the risk of sailing, but the price offered by the employer was so high that it was difficult for him to refuse.

At this moment, Boss Tang was sitting on the deck of the barge, talking with a few other adventure partners, one after another, and taking a look at the scenery along the way.

It has been three days since leaving the Liang family's manor. After a long talk, Old Man Liang made up his mind, put aside his sons, and chose Liang Tianyu as his successor, to train him to be a qualified heir.

Old Man Liang was decisive and immediately found a lawyer to revise his will. After doing this, he called several sons to his side, reprimanded them one by one, and let them die of that heart.

At the request of Mr. Liang, Tang Chengxuan watched the whole process. It wasn't until this time that he knew that the Liang family's recent turmoil was responsible for several sons. One of the most sad things for Old Man Liang. It was his illegitimate son who actually colluded with other opponents to secretly provide information. The Liang family's business has been greatly hit.

Draw a lesson from a bitter experience. Old Man Liang resolutely made a decision, and he would not take back what he had given him before. It's just that from then on, he was never allowed to enter the Liang family again, that is, to cut off his thoughts.

As for the brothers Liang Junxiong and Liang Junjie, they did not get the inheritance of the family business. Old Man Liang gave them a part of the industry and let them run it themselves. Whether it's good or bad depends on their own efforts.

Skipped his father at once and took over the family business directly, Liang Tianyu is the biggest beneficiary of this accident, and his gratitude to Tang Chengxuan is indescribable. He knew that if Tang Chengxuan hadn't come over and cured his grandfather, let alone any inheritance, the entire family's business would probably be swallowed up by others.

Old man Liang is a person who has a favor and will repay it. insisted on giving Tang Chengxuan a gift, which was a large manor that happened to be located in Lu'an City. Originally. This manor is for that illegitimate child, and Old Man Liang is worried that after a hundred years, the Liang Junxiong brothers will not tolerate him, so they have to go to great lengths to arrange these aftermaths, which is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.

Now it's good that after seeing through his true face, Old Man Liang drove him out of the house in a fit of anger, and this manor will be cheap Tang Chengxuan. After repeated refusals. Old Man Liang had made up his mind, and Tang Chengxuan had no choice but to accept it.

Stayed at Liang's house for a day. helped Old Man Liang consolidate his body, and Tang Chengxuan left. Liang Tianyu has been sending him far away. That's just a pity. After returning to Lu'an City, Tang Chengxuan went to take over that manor, and temporarily arranged those subordinates who had broken through the innate realm in that manor, so that they could cultivate there with peace of mind and take care of the affairs there by the way.

Guan Yaozu was also among those who broke through, and Tang Chengxuan had other arrangements for this person. Together, the two of them went to the bank where they had lent money to his father and paid off the loan in full. Although he was very unwilling, the person in charge of the bank did not dare to openly tear up the contract, and finally reluctantly agreed.

In this way, there is no longer any problem with the ownership of that island. After coming out of the bank, Tang Chengxuan handed Guan Yaozu a sum of money and asked him to be responsible for the redevelopment of the island, which must be completed as soon as possible. What kind of manpower is needed, you can give priority to selecting from the manor, and the problem of funds is fully borne by Boss Tang.

After these things are done, it is almost the time that Goodville has agreed with others. The two men left the city of Ru'an, crossed the border directly, and came to the territory of Nisi. Although there are patrols on the border between the two countries from time to time, just such patrols can only deal with those ordinary people.

Big Boss Tang and Goodwell are both masters above the foundation building period, and they can fly with the sword in the air, and there is no difficulty in crossing the border at all, although this is not very legal.

After arriving at the agreed place, the two of them quickly found other partners. This time, in addition to the two of them, there were six other people who participated in this expedition. Of the six cultivators, there were four men and two women, all of whom were members of the Mi Kingdom Alien Alliance, and their cultivation realms were all in the foundation building period.

Originally, as the big boss of Tang, there was no way to participate, and it was still a way for the almighty housekeeper to think of it. Not only did he temporarily change his appearance, looking like an ordinary white youth, but he also forged a copy of Goodwell's Union token, which could almost be confused with the real.

After meeting, Goodwell said that he had invited his companions, and those people checked it, but they couldn't find any flaws, so they let Big Boss Tang join the expedition team. Of course, now he is not called Tang Chengxuan, but has taken an English name casually, and he is called Tom.

The leader of the expedition, named Nick, was a burly, blonde man, and about thirty-five or six years of age. This person is also a casual cultivator, in this team, except for Boss Tang, it is his cultivation that is the highest, reaching the seventh layer of the foundation building period, and has been engaged in exploration work for many years, and has a lot of experience.

Getting this piece of information, Nick also got it by chance. Some time ago, on another expedition, he was drinking in a bar in Nissi. Overheard a few locals talking about a local resident who had gotten a miracle drug from a mysterious place.

As a veteran explorer, Nick has always been very sensitive to this news. There are often many opportunities hidden in these strange news, depending on whether you can seize them.

He pretended to be a tourist, chatted with the men, and invited them to drink. Those locals also didn't have any sense of secrecy, and told everything they knew as a capital to show off.

After getting the specific information, Nick quickly left the bar to find the lucky one they said they were talking about. Sadly, just the day before, that lucky man had been in a car accident and had passed away. However, from his family, Nick received further confirmation that the miracle drug really existed, and sold it to a foreign tourist for a large sum of money.

It was this windfall that made the lucky man not only buy a new house, but also a new car. As the saying goes, misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune lurk. It is precisely because he suddenly made a fortune that that person is high-spirited, driving a new car to show off everywhere, and the wealth does not return to his hometown, just like walking at night in clothes. As a result, he was very happy and sad, and drove off a cliff and was burned beyond recognition.

Fabricating a lie, Nick spent a sum of money and got a map from the man's brother. It was a simple hand-drawn map, with no exact location at all, only an approximate extent.

The water network in that place is crisscrossed, full of tropical rainforests, high mountains and dense forests, the terrain is very complex, and it belongs to a small part of the earth that has not been explored by humans. If it weren't for this reason, everyone in this expedition, at least a cultivator above the foundation building period, would have been able to fly in the sky. Where is it necessary to spend a lot of money and hire a barge for an ordinary person.

Captain Jack is not an ordinary person, although he was born in Borneo since he was a child, in his early years, he participated in the mercenary group in Europe, and he is an old fritter with a lot of combat experience. It's just that there are too many days licking blood from the knife edge, and Captain Jack is tired of that life. I found an opportunity, left my former friends, and returned to my hometown alone, living a life free from the world.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Captain Jack called out to his assistant, a local mountain man, and asked him to take the helm for him for a while. He walked to the deck of the barge, found the expedition leader Nick, and said, "Boss, it's getting dark soon, and now that the flash flood is rising, it is very dangerous to sail at night. We have to find a place to anchor and wait until tomorrow before we can set off again. ”

Nick frowned and said, "After walking all day today, how far are we from our goal?"

After thinking for a while, Captain Jack said, "According to the map you gave me, it is not very far from our current position, and it is still about dozens of miles away. ”

"Is it only a few tens of miles? At our current speed, how long will it take to get there?"

"If nothing else, in about two to three hours, you can get to the vicinity of the target. The map is very sketchy, and I can only drive to the nearest location, and then it's up to you to find it yourself. ”

Nick pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, you can drive forward for a while, and when it gets dark, find a place to rest." Early tomorrow morning, we will continue our departure. ”

Although he was a little dissatisfied, the other party offered a large price, and Captain Jack reluctantly agreed, and he walked out of the deck and returned to the cockpit. The assistant asked, "Boss Jack, can we stop the boat and rest, we haven't had dinner yet?"

Walking over to take the helm of his assistant, Captain Jack said, "You go and prepare dinner now, and we will drive forward for half an hour, and then we can stop the boat and rest." (To be continued)
