Chapter 207: Master Yi, the Playful Man, and the Deadly Scholar Zhang San!
"Everyone on the boat is a noble person. I am just a poor scholar, and the only thing that is commendable is that I was born with supernatural powers. It's not that I don't want to, but I am really ashamed." Yi Chen refused with a smile.
He didn't want to play with these little brats at all.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, you are looking down on me, aren't you?"
"I, Ye Rushuang, never consider whether or not my friends are rich or powerful. Anyway, they are not as rich or powerful as I am. I only consider chemistry when making friends."
Yi Chen: “…”
Ye Rushuang's words reminded him of a handsome man named Wang in his previous life. Unable to resist this man's enthusiastic invitation, Yi Chen followed him into the rear cabin.
Upon seeing him coming, the expressions of the young men and women in the rear cabin changed suddenly. Some looked calm, some looked scrutinizing, some smiled, but no one made any sarcastic remarks.
Yi Chen knew that this was not simply due to their good upbringing, but was the normal way for a child from an aristocratic family to read people's expressions.
There are actually not many children from noble families who will bully anyone they meet regardless of the occasion, because families generally do not dare to let people with such a brain leave their own territory.
The people in the rear cabin, whether they came on board or were traveling with Ye Rushuang, actually surrounded her like the moon surrounded by stars.
Yi Chen was brought here by Ye Rushuang, so if he directly made sarcastic remarks, wouldn’t it be a slap in Ye Rushuang’s face?
"Mr. Zhang, you have come at the right time. We are reciting poems, and it will be more lively when there are more people."
A fair-faced young man said with a smile. There was a faint aura of magical power on his body, but his eyes were looking at Ye Rushang secretly, full of affection.
However, Ye Rushuang had obviously known the fair-faced gentleman for a long time, and she didn't buy into this at all. She clapped her hands and smiled, "You are all elegant people. We met on a boat, so why don't we use the boat as the theme and show off our poetic talents?"
The center figure in the circle can make loud farts, and people will always listen carefully. This is the truth.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone praised them and applauded.
"Let me get everyone excited first." The white-faced young man began to warm up the audience without any hesitation. After he took seven steps, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Got it."
"Play with the southern water together, and go sailing hand in hand."
"The boat moves and creates small waves, and the wind scatters the floating fragrance."
The poem was good and appropriate for the occasion. Yi Chen looked at the man in surprise and applauded along with everyone else.
Miss A: "What a great poem! Young Master Nan is a great poet."
Miss B: "One word for division and one word for movement are absolutely brilliant."
Prince A: "I think it is a good story that Prince Nan can compose a poem in seven steps."
…
Yi Chen: "Me too, everyone is right!"
For a moment, everyone looked sideways.
Yi Chen didn't care about other people's strange looks. He was much more interested in the cakes and pastries on the table than in these people, so he kept eating at a slow but steady pace.
Before he knew it, he had taken one third of the cakes at the banquet.
“The wind moves the clouds but the sky does not move; the water pushes the boat but the shore does not move.”
Another person took over, which drew another round of cheers and comments.
Yi Chen: "Me too, everyone said it well!"
…
"Sunny days shake the bottom of the southern water, and the evening sun floats and sinks in the rapid waves"
…
Yi Chen: "Me too, everyone said it well!"
At this time, Yi Chen put the last piece of golden silk cake into his mouth, and finally someone couldn't hold it anymore, among them was a dog.
A young lady named Sun Feiyan gritted her teeth and laughed, "Mr. Zhang San has a good appetite. After so much time, I think he must have a plan in mind. I wonder what poem he has written?"
She was very upset because she loved golden silk cake the most.
Therefore, he wanted to make Yi Chen look bad in public.
Unfortunately, she underestimated someone's cheekiness.
Yi Chen wiped his mouth, puffed out his chest, and said proudly: "I can't~"
"What a pride you have~" A little devil was roaring in Sun Feiyan's heart.
It was also the first time that Ye Rushuang had met someone like Yi Chen. He was so self-centered, completely unlike others. When there were beautiful women around him, he would either act dignified and serious, or try his best to show off.
And the Mr. Zhang San whom she met halfway was truly a top-notch person.
This made her even more interested in Yi Chen. At first, it was just her sixth sense that this person had a unique temperament, so she invited him. Now, looking at his performance, it was indeed amazing.
"Someone, bring up a few more plates of golden silk cake." Ye Rushuang clapped her hands, and two maids with buns on their hair came up, each carrying two plates of golden silk cake.
Seeing Ye Rushang's expression, Master Nan's expression turned into resentment.
He tried so hard to please Ye Rushuang, but she not only didn't even look at him, but now she even had a special liking for a poor guy who got on the boat halfway.
That poor fellow really had some brains. He actually knew how to use this desperate method to attract the attention of the woman he had chosen. He was really vicious.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "I wonder where Mr. Zhang lives. Since you don't like writing poetry, what are your hobbies?"
"I, Zhang San, have long since pawned my family fortune. Now I am a poor scholar. It is better not to talk about the past. As for my hobbies, I like to visit brothels."
"The first time I went to a brothel, I ordered eight girls. What do you think? Doesn't it sound bold? Eight in total!" Yi Chen made the gesture of eight, and his expression was very much like a famous director nicknamed the National Master.
"You bastard, you've overexerted yourself! You're going to die!" Young Master Nan cheered in his heart, but his face was still as gentle as jade as he said with a smile: "Eight of you, you're really bold!"
"But Master Zhang, I want to give you a piece of advice. For some things, too much is as bad as too little."
"I'll give you a word."
“Everyone loves the Fairy Cave, but they don’t know it’s also called the Coffin Crack.”
Yi Chen chuckled and stood up.
"You are wrong, sir!"
“Everyone loves the coffin gap, but they don’t know it’s also called the fairy cave.”
Phew!
A mouthful of tea spurted out of Ye Rushuang's mouth, almost choking her to death. She couldn't help but cough repeatedly. Two little maids with buns on their hair gave Yi Chen a fierce look and came forward to help pat his back.
Yi Chen bowed to everyone and left the cabin.
There was a sudden burst of discussion behind me.
"Who is this person~"
"Mr. Ye, you are too kind. You took the poor merchant on the road with you out of pity. Not only did you take this poor scholar with you, but you also invited him to join our banquet."
"Mr. Ye, you are making yourself uncomfortable. We are gifted with precious bodies, so it is better for us to have less contact with these inferior people. It is unlucky." Everyone spoke up.
“Yes, these people are untouchables.” Young Master Nan began his closing statement.
Seeing that Yi Chen had angered everyone, Ye Rushuang didn't want to invite him back. In fact, she felt that this man was more interesting than the people around him. At least he was sincere.
Yi Chen acted like this because he naturally didn't want to play those boring tricks with this group of young masters. Originally, he could have just perfunctorily asked him to eat some golden cakes, but later on, someone kept "inadvertently" revealing his identity and wealth in the conversation, and used subtle words to tease him, so he simply couldn't bear it.
I'm just a passer-by, why care so much about me?
He got on the boat on impulse and got up on a whim. He just wanted to be free and unfettered.
Having said that, Yi Chen did find that there was something wrong with the two young gentlemen inside. If others were trying to please Ye Rushuang and covet her, then these two men had evil intentions. They often looked at the guards waiting outside Ye Rushuang's cabin in a subtle way.
From time to time, he would pay attention to the weather outside, as if he was waiting for someone.
But this is none of his business, just don't mess with him. If it weren't for hiding his identity, he would have patted his butt and flew away long ago because of the love, hatred and vengeance of a group of young masters and ladies.
The next pier is the Yuren Ferry in Nanshui County, Jiangnan Road. Yi Chen decided to get off the boat there.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just as he was thinking this, Yi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and five people in black robes and hoods came through the air. The leader had a majestic aura, similar to the Ghost King Tianxie.
The men in black robes all had a bloody sword tattooed on their chests.
It was the Bloody Killing Tower, the notorious spiritual practice force in Jiangnan Dao.
Before coming to Jiangnan Road, Yi Chen asked Lin Zhenbei to do some research on the major forces in Jiangnan Road.
The Blood Killing Tower left a deep impression on Yi Chen.
This is a comprehensive force that combines kidnapping, murder, and theft.
The leader is Gui Zhongdao.
Before Gui Zhongdao appeared out of nowhere, the Blood Killing Tower was just a small killer organization with little influence.
But everything changed after Gui Zhongdao took over the Blood Killing Tower.
Gui Zhongdao has no path dependence and attaches importance to result orientation. It has aligned its goals with the market environment of Jiangnan Road, made a comprehensive layout, focused on the pain points of Jiangnan Road, and launched a set of refined combined punches.
Before his transformation, the Blood Killing Tower only knew how to take orders to kill people, and they lived a tight life. Not only was they living on the edge of a knife, but they also couldn't earn much gold, silver, or resources for cultivation.
Gui Zhongdao is quite smart. If there is no business, he can create it himself. He implements the strategy of going global and no longer waits for business to come to him. For some small and medium-sized families, he resorts to kidnapping to extort money. He is extremely honest and will release the people once he has received the goods. He relies on word of mouth to build his reputation.
This person also reorganized the organizational structure and profit distribution of the Blood Killing Building.
He focuses on the top-level architecture, clarifies the differentiated tracks of each member of the group, and realizes the coupling of team values.
Team members have clear division of labor. Those who take hostages take hostages, those who act undercover act undercover, and those who explore the market explore the market. Distribution is no longer based on performance but on contribution, and the value of logistics is valued.
Therefore, the Blood Killing Tower has been growing along the way, not messing with big forces, moving to another place after each strike, with a tight organization and fair prices. In addition, with the cultivation of its leader Gui Zhongdao at the realm of true immortals, it has become bigger and stronger, creating greater glory, and has become a well-known killer force in Jiangnan Road.
Such a commotion outside naturally attracted the attention of Ye Rushang's guards, and everyone rushed to the cabin in a panic.
Gui Zhongdao had a cold face and casually swung out a black magic power, which made Ye Rushang's two guards vomit blood and fly backwards. Now that he had just broken through the seventh level of the True Person Realm, he instantly controlled the situation. For a moment, everyone on the cruise ship was silent.
Two young men came up to the man in black robe with sinister smiles.
"Master Zhang, Master Li, you are actually the traitors. Don't you, the Linshui Zhang and Li families, want to live? How dare you conspire with the Blood Killing Tower to harm us." Master Nan's expression was shocked and angry, and he looked terrified.
These two people also boarded the boat halfway, but earlier than Yi Chen.
Ye Rushuang was quite rational at this time: "Master Nan, stop talking. We have been fooled. The Zhang and Li families in Linshui definitely have these two bastards. Their names are real, and what they said about the Zhang and Li families in Linshui is also true."
"But they are fake, and everything they do is just to gain our trust."
"If I'm not mistaken, these two people must be carrying a positioning device."
Gui Zhongdao looked at Ye Rushuang in surprise and said, "This man is quite resourceful. If the ransom is increased by 30%, I think the Ye family will accept it."
Yi Chenmao was at one end of the deck, watching everything coldly, not panicking at all.
As far as he knew, Gui Zhongdao never killed people indiscriminately. He only kidnapped the target person and said everything would be fine as long as they did not resist. This person had a quirk. He would not kill anyone without money because he felt he was at a disadvantage.
In order to avoid the possible attention of the Yan family and Zhang Longyi's lineage, Yi Chen decided to put up with him for now. His alias cannot be easily exposed, otherwise others will infer from the place where his main account disappeared that he is still at risk of being exposed, and his efforts will be in vain.
Be patient and everything will be calm!
Endure! Endure! Endure! Yi Chen took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally.
The five people from the Blood Killing Tower landed on the deck, and 'Master Zhang' smiled and took out a pen and ink to urge the remaining young masters and young ladies to write letters home.
"Master Li" held a long sword and sneered as he walked towards Yi Chen and several merchants.
"What are you going to do?" Gui Zhongdao looked at 'Master Li' in surprise.
"Owner, this is a big deal. I want to use the lives of these poor people to intimidate these young masters and young ladies who have never seen blood."
Gui Zhongdao frowned, but considering the great contribution made by 'Master Li', he finally remained silent, indicating his agreement.
This man is his right-hand man. He was in charge of almost everything from scouting the location to selecting the fat sheep to planning the kidnapping. He was just a little murderous, but his merits outweighed his flaws.
Upon hearing this, the merchants kowtowed and begged for mercy loudly. For a moment, Yi Chen stood out from the crowd.
Holding a long sword, 'Master Li' walked up to the merchant with a ferocious look, took a deep breath, and showed an intoxicated and happy expression on his face. He liked the feeling of being afraid of others.
The feeling of playing with and controlling other people's life and death is really, really great.
After taking a deep breath, Mr. Li's face turned cold instantly, and he strode up to Yi Chen.
"Zhang San, I actually really like the poem you read last."
"But Master Li is very unhappy with your expression now."
"I'm unhappy too!" Yi Chen said coldly.
With a crisp sound, a headless corpse appeared in front of him.
Yi Chen couldn't bear it anymore, the principle of righteousness reappeared, and he directly slapped the idiot to death.
A useless piece of shit who couldn't even beat his grown son actually pretended to be good.
Ye Rushuang’s eyes widened instantly.
"Mr. Zhang, you are..."
Yi Chen glanced at Ye Rushuang indifferently: "I told you at the beginning that I was born with supernatural powers."
With a big hand, he sucked the long sword on the ground into his own hand, and Yi Chen met Gui Zhongdao's gaze with a ferocious look: "Master of the Blood Killing Tower, can you give me Zhang San a favor? Let's just forget about this matter, and everyone turn around and go their separate ways!"
"Otherwise, I, the Deadly Scholar Zhang San, will get furious."
