Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Chapter 707 The whole city worships Lord Shi

Chen Yuanyuan was a little panicked, fearing that Shi Tianyu would abandon her, so she asked nervously: "Prince, when will you leave Jiangnan? What about me? Will you leave me here?"

Shi Tianyu held Chen Yuanyuan's face in his hands, kissed her beautiful lips, and said, "Don't worry, I will take you with me wherever I go in the future. Jiangnan is a wealthy place, and I have to raise at least 10 million taels of silver and 3 million dan of grain before I can leave here."

Chen Yuanyuan was surprised, happy, and shy and asked back: "Really? Really? Will you take me with you wherever you go?"

Shi Tianyu said tenderly: "Well! Look, Taihu Lake is so beautiful!"

So he put his arms around Chen Yuanyuan's slender waist, opened the curtains, and enjoyed the beautiful night view.

If you discuss only one topic with a girl, it will never end.

As a love guru, Shi Tianyu knows women too well.

At this time, the two of them were looking at the scenery from the window, enjoying it and intoxicated by the vast blue waves.

Shi Tianyu turned his head to look at Chen Yuanyuan, as if tasting fragrant tea.

The two of them were so close to each other that soon Chen Yuanyuan was already feeling amorous, her body softening and she was intoxicated.

Shi Tianyu said with emotion: "Half of the beauty of Taihu Lake is in Gusu. In spring, you can enjoy flowers and drink tea, in summer, you can appreciate lotus and eat sea bass, in autumn, you can hold crabs and chant chrysanthemums, and in winter, you can walk in the snow and explore plum blossoms. The most precious thing is that I can be with the most beautiful woman in the world tonight."

The moonlight sprinkled on the water, and the lake was shimmering, as if bits of gold were shining.

Shi Tianyu and Chen Yuanyuan looked out from the lakeside and saw only dotted sailboats, the water and the sky connected, and the vast sea of smoke.

There are islands of all sizes, some are lush and beautiful, while others are hidden in the distance.

Chen Yuanyuan could not help but look at Shi Tianyu with affection and infatuation after hearing his sweet words. After a while, she also said with emotion: "Your Majesty, Taihu Lake is really beautiful. I wanted to visit Taihu Lake when I was very young, but unfortunately my family was very poor, so I could not make the trip until tonight."

The night wind blew, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

The pleasure boat swayed gently with the rise and fall of the blue waves.

Shi Tianyu hugged Chen Yuanyuan and watched such a beautiful night scene. He really felt like being in a painting. He added, "If you follow me, you can visit more beautiful scenery in the future. You can travel all over the world and enjoy the beauty of the world. From now on, you will have no connection with poverty forever, and you will only have money that you can never spend." He still hugged Chen Yuanyuan tightly, as if he was crazy and intoxicated, and was reluctant to let go for a moment.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, "hmm". The sudden arrival of wealth and glory seemed more or less like a dream. She spoke of her own life experience with emotion, saying, "My name is also Chen Yuan, with the courtesy name Wanfen. I'm originally from Benniu, Changzhou. My original surname is Xing. My father, Xing San, is a poor farmer." Speaking of her tragic life experience, she felt sad and tears were about to fall.

Shi Tianyu quickly wiped Chen Yuanyuan's tears and comforted her with kind words, saying, "Don't be sad. You will have a good life every day from now on."

Suddenly rich, Chen Yuanyuan had to vent her bitterness, and said with a choked voice: "My mother died shortly after I was born. Because our family was poor, my father sent me to be raised by my aunt in Kunshan. My uncle's surname was Chen, so I changed my surname to Chen. My aunt never had children, but she treated me very well, like her own child, sent me to a private school, and hired someone to teach me poetry, painting, opera, singing and dancing. However, in the past two years, my uncle has been penniless, so I have no choice but to sell my art to support the family."

When Chen Yuanyuan said this, she was already crying.

Shi Tianyu knew in his heart that Chen Yuanyuan was not complaining to him, but making demands on him.

So, Shi Tianyu turned his head to look and saw that there were four treasures of the study in the painting boat.

So, Shi Tianyu separated Chen Yuanyuan, helped her sit down, spread out the paper for her, ground ink for her, and said soothingly: "My dear, don't cry! I have plenty of silver, and I am not short of money. When I have collected the money for the Liaodong soldiers, I will accompany you to Kunshan to visit your relatives. Come, write down an address, and I will let my maids leave the ship and go to Kunshan to welcome your uncle and aunt to Suzhou to reunite with you. As for where to settle down in the future? It is up to you to choose. In my house, you can make the decision on all matters, how about it?"

Chen Yuanyuan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but she was choked with sobs.

When I first met Shi Tianyu, I had some favorable impression of his identity and appearance.

Then, after verifying Shi Tianyu's true identity, he became dependent on him.

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan was completely moved by Shi Tianyu's heartwarming gesture.

Shi Tianyu handed the brush to Chen Yuanyuan, sat down next to her, and said softly, "Don't say anything. Write down the address and letter. I'll ask the girls to pick up your uncle and aunt later."

With tears of emotion in her eyes, Chen Yuanyuan nodded, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and immediately picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a letter to her family, writing down the detailed address.

Shi Tianyu exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! Your handwriting is like flowing clouds and water, revealing a deep elegance and endless talent, and also rhythm and power. The handwriting is like the person, the person is beautiful and the handwriting is beautiful!"

Chen Yuanyuan was immediately overjoyed and started to act coquettishly, saying, "My Prince, you are a fellow Jinshi, please write a piece of calligraphy for me to see." Shi Tianyu was very self-aware and knew that his own handwriting was definitely not as beautiful as Chen Yuanyuan's.

Moreover, Shi Tianyu did not become a famous general against the Jin Dynasty by studying hard, but he grew up to be a god of war by being naughty since childhood, having natural intelligence and wit, experience accumulated from countless battles, and being good at summarizing.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu dared not show off his calligraphy and knowledge. If he really copied what was in the book, he would definitely not be as good as Chen Yuanyuan. However, Shi Tianyu was good at making the little girl happy.

So Shi Tianyu laughed and changed the subject, saying, "Okay! But tonight, let's just enjoy the moon. From now on, we can write and paint together. When the Liaodong war is over, I will retire and buy a beautiful garden with you to live a wonderful life together."

After saying that, he put down the brush, took Chen Yuanyuan's hand, and walked to the window again to watch the beautiful night view of Taihu Lake.

Chen Yuanyuan was excited and encouraged by the beautiful picture of life painted by Shi Tianyu. She cheered and said, "Yes! This is exactly the life Yuanyuan has dreamed of!" She then snuggled in Shi Tianyu's arms, smiled sweetly, and began to feel happy, her heart a little intoxicated.

Shi Tianyu used the "Heavenly Escape Sound Transmission" to inform Lu Ming to come to his pleasure boat.

After a while, Luming came flying over.

Shi Tianyu separated Chen Yuanyuan, picked up the letter and address written by Chen Yuanyuan, handed them to Lu Ming, and said, "Sister, take this address and letter, leave Taihu immediately, rush to Kunshan, and pick up Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen to reunite in Suzhou."

"Yes!" Lu Ming took the address of the letter, bowed and exited the pleasure boat, pulled down the boat curtain, and called Yaoyao, Shushen, Meiyu, Huiyin and other sisters to fly ashore, and together they performed the "Flying Catkins and Light Smoke Skill" and flew to Kunshan.

After following Shi Tianyu and Dudu for many years, the martial arts levels of Luming, Yaoyao, Shushen, Meiyu, Huiyin and other beauties have improved rapidly and are close to the level of practicing the "Taixuan Sutra".

The reason why Chen Yuanyuan complained to Shi Tianyu just now was that she wanted to give something back to her family.

Now, seeing this dream come true in an instant, I am filled with endless joy.

I feel that Shi Tianyu is really smart and can actually read her mind.

So, Chen Yuanyuan said tenderly: "Your Highness, you are a fellow Jinshi, you must be very knowledgeable. Look, how beautiful this creation of heaven and earth is!" Shi Tianyu's fellow Jinshi was obtained by Wei Xueyan's cheating for him. When people were welcoming and seeing off each other in the officialdom and complimenting each other, Shi Tianyu felt honored to hear these flattering words.

But now, hearing Chen Yuanyuan praising him like that, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

Then, Shi Tianyu changed the subject, pointed at Taihu Lake, and said, "Legend has it that when the Queen Mother was celebrating her birthday, the Jade Emperor asked the Four Heavenly Kings to bring a generous gift. When the Queen Mother saw the generous gift, she was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

It turned out that the Jade Emperor gave her a large silver basin, which contained 72 large jadeite pieces, as well as various jade-carved birds and animals in various shapes and colors. It was like a treasure bowl. For this, all the gods and immortals were full of praise.

At this time, under the silver moonlight, Taihu Lake was as flat as a mirror, and thousands of willows were swaying by the lake.

Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed, "How could there be such a beautiful legend in the world?"

Shi Tianyu hummed, and continued: "But, when the Queen Mother held the Peach Banquet, she did not invite Sun Wukong, who was the Horse Keeper of the Heavenly Palace at that time.

As a result, Sun Wukong lost his temper and made a scene in the Heavenly Palace. When he saw the silver basin sent by the Jade Emperor, he hit it with a stick. The silver basin fell from the sky and hit the ground, creating a big hole in the ground.

The silver also turned into white water, forming this 36,000-hectare lake.

Therefore, this lake fell from the sky.

The horizontal line on the top of the character "天" becomes a dot when it falls to the bottom, which is the character "太", so this lake is called "太湖".

Such a legend made Chen Yuanyuan fascinated and she stared at Shi Tianyu in a daze.

Shi Tianyu said softly: "My wife, the moon is full and the people are together, let's take a rest."

After saying that, he hugged Chen Yuanyuan, rolled onto the floor of the houseboat, and rolled into the quilt.

Chen Yuanyuan was immediately intoxicated, as if she was lying in the misty fog of Taihu Lake.

After Luming, Yaoyao, Shushen and other beauties left, Dudu had no desire to sleep. He took his knife and went ashore, got into the carriage, and silently guarded his master Shi Tianyu.

In the early morning, the rippling blue waves of Taihu Lake contrast beautifully with the surrounding mountains, forming a beautiful natural picture.

The lakeside is shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Dudu got out of the carriage and strolled along the lakeside, feeling the gentleness of the water and the mountain breeze, and feeling the beauty of life.

After a while, Shi Tianyu woke up, gently let go of Chen Yuanyuan in his arms, got up and walked into the system space to take a shower and change clothes, then led more than 3,000 soldiers out of the system space, called Dudu over, arranged various affairs, and instructed Dudu and the soldiers to do this and that.

Seeing that Wen Tianruo, Shui Longping and the others had not arrived yet, Shi Tianyu walked into the pleasure boat again, lay down, got into the bed, and rolled around with Chen Yuanyuan again.

It was almost noon, and someone suddenly shouted on the lakeside: "Your Majesty, some merchants are coming."

Shi Tianyu was awakened immediately, dismounted, dressed hurriedly and went out, and saw Shui Longping and Wen Tianruo leading more than a thousand people riding horses, riding in carriages, and riding in sedan chairs.

Among the horse team, there were more than a hundred carriages loaded with countless valuable gifts.

Shi Tianyu could not help but be overjoyed, so he clasped his fists and said, "My dear shopkeepers, I am here to greet you. I wish you all good health, a lot of money, many children, many blessings, many fields and much gold."

"Oh! Your Majesty is so polite, it's really embarrassing for me."

Wen Tianruo, Shui Longping and others were deeply moved to see Shi Tianyu being so easy-going and approachable.

They hurriedly clasped their hands and bowed to greet him.

Chen Yuanyuan got up, dressed, washed up, and then walked out of the houseboat.

When she first became a wife, it was very difficult for her to walk.

However, she also perked up her spirits, stood at the edge of the pleasure boat, bowed to the merchants, and said, "My humble concubine Chen Yuanyuan greets all the shopkeepers. I wish you all good fortunes, a long life, and a steady flow of wealth, and that you will count money until your hands are tired every day."

Just now, Shi Tianyu had reminded Chen Yuanyuan that she should be polite when meeting merchants and not act superior.

If I could meet the merchants today and complete the task of raising money and food, then there would be no problem.

Therefore, no matter what, Chen Yuanyuan had to come out and accompany them.

Whether Shi Tianyu can accomplish the goal of raising funds and grain during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River depends on the legend of "the hero wins the beauty". Although he obtained the title of Tongjinshi by fraud, his extremely rich life experience is real.

The experience of numerous battles has made Shi Tianyu extremely resourceful and full of wisdom.

Going to a place as rich as Suzhou to raise grain and money, relying solely on power and status is not enough to subdue the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. You can only rely on wisdom and tricks.

Just as Shi Tianyu said to Chen Yuanyuan last night, his trip to the south of the Yangtze River was to bring double happiness, wealth and beauty.

Naturally, the merchants who came to visit Shi Tianyu would not come empty-handed.

Now, we have valuable gifts worth more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages, right?

Dudu hurriedly led the crowd to welcome the merchants, then signaled to the soldiers to tie up more than a hundred carriages.

With a casual glance, I found that each gift box was made of very precious and fine nanmu.

The gift boxes are so exquisite, it is obvious that the gifts inside must be of great value.

The contents of some gift bags were clearly visible, they were all carved treasures of various shapes made of gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Dudu was overjoyed, and once again felt the unique strategic vision of Shi Tianyu, the profound strategic thinking and the mysterious tactics. He finally understood that the master's marriage to Chen Yuanyuan was not as simple as marrying a wife or a concubine in the past.

Gaining both wealth and beauty is the richest and most profound connotation of the host's trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, seeing Chen Yuanyuan come out, more than a thousand wealthy people, big and small, immediately exclaimed in amazement and praise: "Wow! Lord Shi is so lucky! The beauty of the lady is like a fairy in heaven, it really opens our eyes!"

All the wealthy men praised Shi Tianyu, and they really showed their admiration for Shi Tianyu instead of flattery.

Shi Tianyu laughed proudly towards the sky and said, "Haha! What else could I ask for if I could get such a beauty in my life? Dear shopkeepers, please come to the lakeside and have lunch together." After that, he put his arm around Chen Yuanyuan and flew ashore.

After making a gesture, he put his arm around Chen Yuanyuan and sat down at the main seat at the main table.

Shui Longping, Wen Tianruo and more than a thousand other merchants were extremely excited.

They really didn't expect to have lunch with the prince today, and their eyes were filled with tears.

With Dudu leading more than 3,000 soldiers to work hard, lunch was also ready.

Today's lunch is a whole fish feast with the "Three Whites of Taihu Lake" as the main dish.

The “Three Whites of Taihu Lake” are silverfish, whitefish and white shrimp.

Taihu whitebait has tender meat, rich nutrition, no scales, no bones and no fishy smell.

Taihu whitefish has a long and narrow body with flat sides, fine bones and scales, and sparkles with silvery luster.

Taihu white shrimp has a thin shell, tender meat and delicious taste.

This shrimp can also be used as medicine, and it has the function of detoxification when taken internally.

Other fish dishes included dozens of species such as anchovy, carp, crucian carp, grass carp, black carp, silver carp, bighead carp, eel, catfish, mandarin fish, and black snakehead, all of which were caught by the soldiers.

The whole fish banquet was so rich that the merchants were deeply moved.

Wen Tianruo, who was sitting next to Chen Yuanyuan, picked up the wine glass and stood up to toast Shi Tianyu.

Wen Tianruo was very moved by the honor he had in life, and said, "Lord Shi, I never thought in my life that I could travel to Taihu Lake with you, taste wine and enjoy flowers. Today, my wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets in my life. From now on, if you have any orders from me, I will do it even if it means going through fire and water."

Shi Tianyu then raised his cup and said, "In fact, whether you are the prince or the common people, we are all human beings first, and we are all born by women. Motherhood is equally great in the world, so everyone is equal first. It is a great honor for me to have lunch with more than a thousand shopkeepers here by the beautiful Taihu Lake! A great honor!"

After saying this in a friendly manner, he raised his glass, clinked it with Wen Tianruo's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Great! Clap!" More than a thousand merchants clapped and cheered excitedly.

On the shore of Taihu Lake, there was thunderous applause and cheers.

~"Thank you, Lord Shi, for thinking so highly of me! Come, let us toast to Lord Shi and Miss Yuanyuan. I wish you a life of love and long life together!" Shui Longping was so moved that tears rolled down his cheeks. He raised his glass and proposed to toast to Shi Tianyu and Chen Yuanyuan together.

"Good!" More than a thousand merchants raised their glasses and toasted Shi Tianyu and Chen Yuanyuan together. This also fulfilled Chen Yuanyuan's dream and Shi Tianyu's promise last night: to hold a grand and romantic wedding for him and Chen Yuanyuan by the Taihu Lake.

Chen Yuanyuan had been singing for a long time and was very sensible. Since her lover wanted to raise food and money for the soldiers in Liaodong, the couple had to work together.

Chen Yuanyuan also had to lend a helping hand to her lover, so she stood up and said, "My dear shopkeepers, it's a rare opportunity for you to be with Lord Shi, so I will sing a song for you to help you have fun."

"Okay! Bang bang!"

More than a thousand merchants including Wen Tianruo and Shui Longping immediately applauded enthusiastically and cheered.

Dudu quickly took the pipa and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan was a smart person. She immediately took the pipa from Dudu and sang while playing it: "The country is ruined but the mountains and rivers remain. The grass and trees are thick in the city in spring. The flowers shed tears when they feel sad. The birds make my heart tremble when I feel sad. The war has been going on for three months. A letter from home is worth ten thousand pieces of gold. My white hair is getting shorter and shorter. I can hardly hold a hairpin."

The sound is clear, low and sad.

As Chen Yuanyuan sang, she actually shed tears.

She was originally a sentimental person, born in poverty, and had always been discriminated against. Today, it was a rare opportunity that so many wealthy businessmen looked up to her. When she sang impromptu, she touched on her life experience and couldn't help but shed tears.

Wen Tianruo, Shui Longping and others were horrified and asked in surprise: "Miss Yuanyuan, today, here is a grand and romantic wedding for you and Prince Shi with beautiful lakes and mountains. Why do you sing such a sad song? What else is on your mind that the prince can't decide for you? Tell us, we are willing to lend a helping hand."

Clever Chen Yuanyuan knew that singing this song was originally full of deep meaning, so she shed tears and said, "I don't really have any worries. If I do, it's just that I'm worried about Prince Shi."

At the beginning, Dudu and the guards of the palace looked down on Chen Yuanyuan, thinking that she was just a singing girl with a low status and was not worthy of the noble status of Prince Shi Tianyu. But after hearing what she meant, they could not help but admire her greatly.

Only then did they realize that Chen Yuanyuan was not only the most beautiful and talented person in the world, but also very intelligent and quick-witted.

Shui Longping, Wen Tianruo and other Shang people were even more confused, and asked in confusion: "What? What? Prince Shi is handsome and talented, loves the people like his own children, and is praised by the government and the people. Now he has won the beauty, so why are you worried?"

Chen Yuanyuan put down her pipa, raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, and said, "It would be great if my prince did not become a king! If he served in a local position, he could handle many practical matters of the people's livelihood without the risk of fighting on the battlefield.

However, at present, the Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. In order to prevent the people from suffering, my prince still serves as the chief grain officer of the court. On the Liaodong battlefield, the soldiers fought bloody battles and fought with the golden dog to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the soldiers still have not enough food or clothing. If my prince does not have enough money and food, will he be happy? "

This tactful proposal was actually asking all merchants to donate money and food to Shi Tianyu.

"Oh! So Lord Shi is so depressed! Oh! It's really hard for Lord Shi. I am not talented, but I think what Miss Yuanyuan said makes sense. If the Jin soldiers break through the pass, I will never have a peaceful life. Not to mention making a living, I may even be killed by the Jin soldiers. So, I am willing to share Lord Shi's worries and share the worries of the Ming Dynasty. I have a small family background, so I am willing to donate 30,000 taels of silver to Lord Shi. Please accept it."

Wen Tianruo was deeply moved by Chen Yuanyuan's words. He spoke with emotion and immediately presented Shi Tianyu with a silver note worth 30,000 taels of silver.

This is the exchange pass of Jiangnan Chain Bank.

The Jiangnan Bank Chain is not a nationwide bank chain, but it has many branches in Jiangnan where money can be exchanged and withdrawn.

Shi Tianyu clasped his hands and bowed to express his gratitude.

He then turned sideways and told Chen Yuanyuan to take notes.

Dudu hurriedly stepped forward and took the banknotes for Shi Tianyu.

Soon after, more than a thousand merchants including Shuilongping took out their silver bills, handed them to Dudu, and reported the amounts. Among the more than a thousand merchants, each donated at least 30,000 taels of silver, and those who donated more ranged from 100,000 taels to 300,000 taels of silver.

In this way, today's lunch and today's wedding of Shi Tianyu and Chen Yuanyuan actually raised more than 40 million taels of silver.

This made Dudu very happy.

Chen Yuanyuan suddenly smiled as sweet as a flower, extremely beautiful.

Shi Tianyu was secretly happy, but due to his status, he had to be very cautious and did not dare to laugh out loud. However, he kept clasping his fists and bowing, expressing his gratitude, and personally poured wine for the wealthy businessmen and toasted them one by one.

Chen Yuanyuan was clever and intelligent, and she presented another cheerful song to the wealthy merchants: "I left Baidi in the morning amidst the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day. The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying, and the light boat had already passed through thousands of mountains."

I express my feelings through songs and thank all the merchants.

This luncheon was a great success.

The merchants came with excitement and left with satisfaction.

Shi Tianyu's trip to the south of the Yangtze River was fruitful, gaining both money and beauty, and taking care of both public and private interests.

After the merchants left, Shi Tianyu floated all kinds of supplies, more than 3,000 soldiers, dining tables, bowls and chopsticks, etc. back to the large garden of the system space, and led Chen Yuanyuan into the No. 2 courtyard of the No. 2 locker in the system space.

He asked several pretty maids to come over, serve Chen Yuanyuan, and explain the situation in the "Xianju" to her. Then he flew out, carrying Dudu away. The two of them performed the "Zongyi Dengxianbu" and flew to Suzhou City.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Tianyu and Dudu returned to Suzhou City and came to the Suzhou headquarters of Jiangnan Bank.

Shi Tianyu then led more than 3,000 soldiers down to surround the Suzhou headquarters of the Jiangnan Silver Bank. After entering the lobby of the headquarters, he took out the imperial edict, took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, revealed his identity, and demanded that Zhuge Ju, the chief treasurer of the Jiangnan Silver Bank, exchange it for cash for him.

To exchange for more than 40 million taels of silver, without this kind of show, the Suzhou headquarters of Jiangnan Silver Bank would never be able to exchange so much silver for Shi Tianyu. Therefore, when Shi Tianyu needs to put on airs, he does so.

Zhuge Ju was so frightened that his legs went weak. He tremblingly gave orders to the shopkeeper and the clerks here to quickly exchange the silver for Shi Tianyu. He followed Shi Tianyu's instructions and ordered the clerks to move countless boxes of silver to the backyard and pile them up.

Shi Tianyu ordered Dudu to lead some soldiers to supervise the exchange of cash, and then came to the tea room to drink tea and chat with Zhuge Ju.

Shi Tianyu was kind and friendly. He talked about the soldiers on the border and the flames of war started by various rebel forces in the northwest. He talked about how the various wars had led to the decline of people's livelihood, the people's livelihood was in dire straits, and they had to eat their own children.

Shi Tianyu said that the war would sooner or later spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan cannot remain isolated in a corner.

The Jiangnan merchants can only protect their wealth and the safety of their families by fully supporting Shi in fighting against the rebels and the Tartars outside the Great Wall. Otherwise, there will be starving people and cannibalism in the future.

With Shi Tianyu's reputation in front and donations from more than a thousand merchants in the south of the Yangtze River in the back, Zhuge Ju was moved and convinced, so he expressed his willingness to donate money and food to Prince Shi, to support Prince Shi in fighting the Tartars, to support Prince Shi in putting on armor again to quell the rebellion and to return a pure land to the people of the world.

Therefore, Zhuge Ju donated 3 million taels of silver and 1 million dan of grain to Shi Tianyu, and summoned the shopkeeper of the head office, and gave him the tasks with great passion, which made the shopkeeper's blood boil.

Shi Tianyu laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied and proud.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu came to the backyard and moved more than 48 million taels of silver and one million dan of grain to the large treasury and grain warehouse in the system space. This operation stunned Zhuge Ju and his shopkeepers and assistants.

It was a long time after Shi Tianyu, Dudu and their troops left that Zhuge Ju and the others came to their senses.

Shi Tianyu and Dudu led their troops out of the city and returned to the shores of Taihu Lake.

Because he needed to wait for Lu Ming, Yao Yao, Shu Shen and others to escort Chen Yuanyuan's family, Shi Tianyu returned to the shore of Taihu Lake. Of course, he also had another important task to complete.

The purpose was to bring together again the disciples of the Ming Cult's Jiangnan branch who had long been divided.

However, the most important thing now is to get a good sleep.

Last night and this morning, Shi Tianyu did not let Chen Yuanyuan go and kept tormenting her, consuming a huge amount of his physical energy.

I had a lunch social and exchanged cash in the afternoon. I was so exhausted that I needed a good rest.

At nightfall, Shi Tianyu woke up and returned to the No. 2 courtyard of the No. 2 locker in the system space to take a shower and change clothes.

Those beautiful maids told Shi Tianyu that the new lady had slept the entire afternoon and had not woken up yet.

Shi Tianyu nodded with a smile, naturally knowing what was going on.

Chen Yuanyuan must be very tired too, and definitely needs a good sleep.

So, Shi Tianyu told the beautiful maids to take good care of the new wife, and then he flew out and returned to the pleasure boat on the shore of Taihu Lake.

The moon seems to be wandering on the lake, transparent, comfortable and free.

The watery moonlight penetrates the sounds of nature and pours down onto Lake Taihu without restraint.

On the lakeside, there were loud laughters as the soldiers drank tea from their cups and competed with Dudu for fun.

Although none of them were Dudu's match, they were all extremely happy to receive Dudu's guidance in martial arts.

Shi Tianyu sat alone for a while amidst the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and then ordered a soldier to row a small boat to take him to Piaomiao Peak of Taihu Lake. He left Dudu and more than 3,000 soldiers there to wait for the arrival of Luming, Yaoyao and other beauties as well as Chen Yuanyuan's family.

In the early morning, Shi Tianyu arrived at the foot of Piaomiao Peak by boat.

There are some small fishing boats parked by the lake.

Some boatmen covered their faces with their hats and fell into a deep sleep.

Some of the small fishing boats had no one on their bows, but the boats were still swaying in the lake.

Shi Tianyu did not fly here, but came by boat, naturally taking care of both public and private affairs, so that he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, and also rest his eyes. At this time, Shi Tianyu got off the boat alone and ordered the soldier to row the boat back to the lake in case of emergency.

Then, Shi Tianyu walked towards Piaomiao Peak alone.

Piaomiao Peak is the highest peak in the West Mountain of Taihu Lake and the leader of the 72 peaks of Taihu Lake. Its peak veins extend in all directions, with peaks and veins connected, hills and ridges covering each other, and they are scattered in an orderly manner, like stars surrounding the moon, or like a fairy scattering flowers, floating around the main peak.

The blue sky is high, clear and bright.

The sunshine is clear and beautiful.

It is unusually quiet at the foot of Piaomiao Peak.

The house of the former headquarters of the Ming Cult's Jiangnan branch had long been in ruins and overgrown with weeds.

Shi Tianyu walked up the mountain with heavy steps and saw tombs with stone tablets erected.

We also saw the names of heroes from the Ming Cult's Jiangnan branch, such as "Plum Blossom Dart" Shan Zhi, "Iron Flute Scholar" Xiang Kun, and "God Archer" Miao Menlong.

Hundreds of earthen tombs stand in the mountains, arranged in an orderly manner.

Shi Tianyu looked at the tombstones sadly, and bowed towards the graves, paying tribute to the heroic spirits.

Although, Shi Tianyu is a time traveler.

However, because of the existence of the Jiangnan branch of the Ming Cult, Shi Tianyu's life experience is a mystery. He has been hunted down, besieged and assassinated by martial artists for nine years, and has been forced to embark on a career in politics in order to save his life.

Then, this also enabled Shi Tianyu to achieve fame, wealth and glory in this old society.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu is very grateful to the Ming Cult's Jiangnan branch, and to his nominal parents Shi Feiyang and his wife.

At this time, Shi Tianyu paid attention to every tombstone, but he still didn't find the three words "Shi Feiyang". He couldn't help but be full of doubts in his heart.

Because there are some things that Shi Yuyan can't explain clearly.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu has to personally investigate this unsolved case in the martial arts world.

In the end, an explanation must be given to the heroes of Jiangnan and to the martial arts world.

Only by producing results can you finally resolve your grievances with the martial arts world.

Otherwise, when will the cycle of revenge end?

Shi Tianyu's purpose was not to swing giant flaming swords and kill those martial artists.

That is only a temporary deterrent.

The ultimate goal is to settle grievances with all the martial artists in the world.

At this time, Shi Tianyu stood in front of several earthen graves, thinking to himself, "There are so many tombstones, but there is indeed no name of Shi Feiyang and his wife. Are they alive or dead? Could it be that the hero Shi was buried in this mountain, but someone else's name was deliberately engraved on the tombstone? Back then, the heroes of the Ming Cult Jiangnan Branch were afraid that someone would rob their tomb?"

"Oh, no, the heroes of the Ming Cult Jiangnan Branch don't need to do this. They just need to bury Shi Xia in another place. Why use the names of other fallen heroes to cover up Shi Xia's heroic name?"

"According to rumors, Shi Daxia has not been seen alive or dead. If he disappeared on purpose, he didn't have to do so because he was the best fighter in the world and had a group of heroes to help him. If he was dead, why haven't even the heroes of the Mingjiao Jiangnan Branch found his body yet? Before this, Wei Xueyan had been looking for clues in this case for many years, but her dream was dashed."

The empty mountain is silent.

The mountain breeze in the early morning makes people feel a little cold.

"hey-hey!"

Just as Shi Tianyu lowered his head in thought and felt sad, suddenly, he heard a few cold laughs in his ears.

"Whizzing!"

Shi Tianyu was startled, but didn't have time to draw his sword.

In an instant, Shi Tianyu felt a pain in his back.

Several arrows have hit Shi Tianyu.

He was hit by several arrows in the chest and back.

Fortunately, he had the magical skill to protect his body, otherwise, how could Shi Tianyu survive?

Then, Shi Tianyu stepped on the tree and flew up.

As his figure floated up the tree, the rain of arrows also shot towards the tree.
