Chapter 5: Building the Guardian Team
In addition to two dishes and a soup, two cans of food were opened, one can of caviar and one can of beef sauce.
Liu Qingmei kept exclaiming that the food was delicious, appetizing and went well with rice, while Zhan Junru and Xing'er, the two maids who were standing to serve her, were drooling.
"Come together." Tang Wen looked at the two of them and said.
"No, let's serve the old lady and the master first." Xing'er and Zhan Junru shook their heads quickly.
Tang Wen didn't say anything else, knowing that the two of them were going to pick up the leftovers to eat.
The rules of this world must be followed, otherwise, if the maid and the master eat together, it will be chaos.
“Dongwen, we are a family now .
Koh Samui was bought by my ancestors, and later handed over to the then third steward of the Tang family, Jiang Chang, who led a group of people to manage it. Later, the Tang family made a lot of money and forgot about it.
No one had come here for decades, and it was only when my mother was sorting out my belongings that she discovered the title deed.
You have stayed here for a while, so you should know something about the island. Tell me about it first." After dinner, Tang Wen called Li Quan, Zhang Kui and Zhan Dongwen to discuss things.
“I don’t know anything else, but I heard that many disaster victims escaped here decades ago.
It is said that the island was quite prosperous at that time.
Later, it was targeted by pirates, who often came to rob it, and eventually, it fell into ruin.
However, many more victims entered later, and I have no idea how many people there are now. It is very chaotic.
It may not be easy for the master to take over the land." Zhan Dongwen said.
"So, you select a group of people to form a security team. You will be responsible for the safety of everyone, and Zhang Kui will be responsible for the safety of my Tang family." Tang Wen nodded.
"Bu Feng, Chen Fa, Sun Ping, Li Si..." Zhan Dongwen immediately called over a dozen people and said, "Bu Feng here has practiced martial arts and has the strength of an early ninth rank.
Although Chen Fa and Sun Ping had never practiced martial arts before, they learned a few skills from me during the two years of fleeing.
However, because he did not have the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he had not been able to enter the Tenth Level.
However, he does have some strength.
The Tang family security team will temporarily consist of just them.
However, we don’t have any weapons, so we may need to buy some swords.”
"Li Quan, bring the sabers over and distribute them." Tang Wen said, and Li Quan carried a bunch, one for each person.
"Good knife!" Bu Fengmao used all his strength to chop off a piece of wood as thick as a fist, and praised loudly.
You know, the sword-making level of the Chu Dynasty was very low.
The knife is heavy but not very sharp, and looks rough. Warriors usually rely on force and inertia to kill people.
This was mainly limited by the Chu Dynasty's level of steel refining. Of course, there were also master craftsmen in the Chu Dynasty, but after all, there were not many of them.
The price of a good sword is also astonishingly high, some cost hundreds of taels, and some even several thousand taels. Ordinary people can forget about it.
The batch of knives that Tang Wen bought from the Great East Republic were all made of fine steel, so they were naturally of good quality.
"It has been several decades. The third steward Jiang Chang should have died, but he should have descendants . How come there is no one?" Zhan Dongwen said.
"Why didn't he go to Liangzhou to report to the Tang family when he encountered the disaster? Did something happen here? There is a trick to this matter. We have to investigate it slowly." Tang Wen snorted.
Zhan Dongwen is very capable. He arranged several guards to patrol the yard with knives at night to prevent attacks from wild beasts or humans.
After all, Koh Samui has been deserted for decades. The weeds are taller than people and the original jungle is dense. It has long become a paradise for wild animals.
At night, candles were lit in the tent.
Tang Wen was also a little tired, so he planned to sleep until midnight and then travel to the Great East Kingdom to get some supplies back.
After all, the number of people and horses has increased a lot, and the things needed for food, drink, defecation and urination have also increased.
At this time, the curtain was gently lifted and Zhan Junru came in.
"Is there anything wrong?" Tang Wen asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"The Madam asked me to come and serve the master. She also said that from now on, I will be the one serving you exclusively." Zhan Junru said with a slightly red face.
"No need, I'm used to being alone. You can go back. I'll call you if there's anything." Tang Wen said.
"Master, it's inconvenient for you to have no one to serve you, I will serve you comfortably.
I'll sleep on the floor and won't disturb your rest.
Then, if the master has anything, he can just call me directly." Zhan Junru said, her face getting even redder.
"It's really not necessary, you go back." Tang Ling said seriously.
"Okay then." Zhan Junru looked disappointed, bowed and walked out of the tent.
Damn it, I’m not Liu Xiahui. Even though Zhan Junru is not pretty and even a little dark, how can I bear a woman sleeping under the bed?
Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Wen’s secret cannot be known to outsiders.
In the middle of the night, Tang Wen touched the wooden bracelet and silently said to himself, "I am a big landlord!"
Suddenly, I entered that space again and found that the data on the big screen had changed:
Popularity index: 76.
Land area: 2338 hectares.
Martial power level: middle ninth level.
Wealth Index: 150 taels of gold.
Ceremonial load: 200 tons.
Travel time: thirteen days.
"Ding Dong! The Landlord system is severely damaged. It can only open gates with popularity below 1000 points for the time being. When you have accumulated 1,000 points of popularity, you can open the second gate, which is another world."
As soon as the voice finished, Tang Wen discovered that several doors appeared on the wall of space at the same time , with data of 1000, 5000, 10000... marked on them.
However, only the door without a number was flashing green light, while the doors with numbers were all gray.
Tang Wen walked over and pushed it, but found that it couldn't be moved.
It seems that his popularity index is not enough to open other doors, so he has to go back and push the door without a number.
Suddenly, the runes embedded in the ground flashed, and at the same time, the dog-like totem on the wall barked.
A beam of green light hit the door, and the light and shadow quickly ran to both sides, as if people were flying in the tunnel of time and space.
Landing soon!
Tang Wen found himself standing in the corner of a small alley in Yunhai City of the Dadong Republic again.
Tang Wen turned on his cell phone and found more than a dozen missed calls, most of which were from Luo Jun, so he called back.
"Mr. Tang, where have you been? I kept calling you but you said you were not in the service area. Did you go into seclusion in the cave again?" Luo Jun's voice came.
"I still owe you money, so I went back to make some pills, and now I'm back right away." Tang Wen replied.
"That's great. My friend is here too. Let's meet at the usual place." Luo Jun hung up the phone and Tang Wen took a taxi straight to the Lanting Club.
Soon, Tang Jun was seen driving over in a Wrangler.
Two people jumped down from above, one fat and one thin.
"My friends Song Qingyang and Zhang Chongjing." Luo Jun introduced them as soon as he got out of the car. They greeted each other and entered the box.
After taking a few sips of tea, Tang Wen took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Tang Jun, saying, "This is what you wanted."
"Mr. Tang, didn't you say last time that you wanted to make a sharp sword?" Luo Jun asked as he took the medicine bottle and put it into his bag.
"Yes, I want to get a few and practice with them. Weapons are not very useful without support." Tang Wen nodded.
"Haha, Mr. Song runs a knife factory.
We produce all kinds of kitchen knives, saws, antique swords, etc.
Moreover, all the steel used is high-quality steel imported from foreign countries.
Moreover, even the film and television companies come to their company for props and swords.
Of course, some countries regulate special knives.
It's okay for you to play around with it, but you can't do anything bad." Luo Jun said jokingly.
"How can that be! I don't want to form the Axe Gang, so why don't you kill me?" Tang Wen shook his head and smiled.
"Hahaha, that's true." Luo Jun laughed.
"This is my business card, Mr. Tang. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me." Song Qingyang handed over the business card.
"Mr. Tang, I also tried a pill of that medicine last time, and it worked quite well. If you have any more, I want some too." At this time, Zhang Chongjing, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"I forgot to introduce him to you, but Brother Zhang opened a martial arts school.
People call him "Seventh Master" and he is a well-known figure in our Yunhai.
He has also accepted more than a dozen apprentices, and they walk sideways." Luo Jun joked.
"Wouldn't I have become a crab? You, do you ever compare people like that?" Zhang Chongjing replied with a smile.
“There are still some medicines left, but now there are factories everywhere and the pollution is serious.
The air is filled with foul smells, and I have to go to the deep mountains and forests to collect these medicinal herbs myself.
The air there is good, so the pills made there are stronger.
Otherwise, you can try using the ones from the wholesale market, the effect will be far worse." Tang Wen said.
"I understand this. Mr. Tang, just name a price." Zhang Chongjing nodded.
