I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

Caught off guard.

Master Jingqiao's chest was suddenly pierced.

He couldn't even make the last cry, only a series of strange sounds came from his throat.

He opened his eyes as wide as he could, and couldn't believe that Shen Wuyu dared to kill him.

He, he was the master of Sky Book City, an important member of the Ink Works Department of Sky Book City.

He could usually chat and laugh with the elders of Sky Book City. Even if he returned to the secular world, the governors of various provinces had to be respectful and perform the etiquette of a disciple in front of him.

He, such a big man, Shen Wuyu actually killed him at will?

Shen Wuyu gently put Master Jingqiao on the ground and smiled: "People always have an illusion that when they are close to the center of power, they think they have power. You are really nothing."

"In a peaceful and prosperous era, people like you may still be able to chat and laugh in high positions, but troubled times are coming."

If Shen Wuque heard this, he would definitely agree with it.

After killing Master Jingqiao.

Shen Wuyu pulled out the dagger, and did not even create any suicide scene, but left silently.

A few hours later!

The fleet of Master Jingqiao found that they were surrounded.

The leader of the fleet shouted: "This is the fleet of the Sky Book City's Jingqiao Castle. Who are you? Do you want to rebel?"

For a long time, the fleet with the temperament of the Sky Book City's Jingqiao Castle has been completely unimpeded in the seas of the entire Eastern World. No one dared to harm it, even including the pirate fleet.

Therefore, the fleet under the command of the Sky Book City basically does not need any escort.

Arrogant!

But...

The next second, the unknown fleet surrounding them directly opened the gun cover, revealing the cannons on the ship.

Suddenly, the guards on the Jingqiao Castle fleet exclaimed.

Western Church? !

The fleet of the Western Church actually came to this sea area?

The next second!

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a dozen gunboats opened fire fiercely.

Deafening.

Just like that, round after round of bombardment.

Master Jingqiao's fleet was smashed into pieces and all of them were silent on the seabed.

They disappeared directly from the face of the earth.

The commander on the gunboat used a telescope to check the sea surface and patrolled the sea surface for several rounds.

Whenever he saw any living person, he would shoot him immediately.

After several hours, he finally left.

So far, Master Jingqiao has completely disappeared from this world.

And the hundreds of people on his fleet were slaughtered.

…………………………

Piaoling City.

This Golden Bell Conference was unprecedentedly successful.

No longer using the secret bidding method, but Shen Wuque directly set the price.

Each pocket watch, 3999 taels of silver!

There is no doubt that it was snapped up.

Because there are only 500 in total, no matter how much the price is, it will definitely increase in value many times when it is circulated on the market.

Moreover, this first batch of pocket watches is impossible to circulate on the market. At most, there are a few of them.

The wealthy merchants present bought all the watches themselves. Some of them even didn't want to use them themselves, but used them as gifts.

So the price of 3999 taels is not too high, but too low.

However, Shen Wuque announced.

To buy a pocket watch, you must match it with four table clocks.

Each table clock costs two thousand taels of silver.

Damn!

You are a bit ruthless.

Last year, your table clocks only sold for an average of 700 taels of silver, and it was a secret bidding.

Of course, this year all these table clocks have been upgraded, with punctual timekeeping, some day and night alternation, and calendar jumps.

But after the pocket watch comes out, the table clock will most likely depreciate.

But...

There is no way.

If you want a pocket watch, you must sell it together.

Modern Earth Rolex saw it and said it was very angry. You are more cruel than me. I only sell the green Submariner with a Tudor worth 100,000, and the gold Daytona with a Tudor worth 30,000.

However, all the merchants still rushed forward.

There are only two thousand table clocks, not like the nine thousand last year, and all of them have been upgraded. They can definitely make money if they are put on the market, but the profit is not as big as before.

But these five hundred pocket watches can definitely make a lot of money.

The first generation of pocket watches in the world.

Limited to five hundred in the world.

No matter how much money, you can make money.

In just one hour, all the pocket watches and table clocks were sold out.

The turnover is still six million taels of silver, which was converted into five hundred thousand taels of gold.

Fifty thousand taels of gold were handed over to Piaoling City, and there are still four hundred and fifty thousand taels left!

For Bai Gu Ling, this is an astronomical amount of gold, and Wu Que doesn't even know how to spend it.

…………………………

After the Golden Bell Conference ended, Shen Wu Que did not leave immediately.

Tonight, he even had to attend the dinner of King Piaoling.

"Sir Shen Wu Que." A person stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

Wu Que quickly searched his memory and soon remembered who he was, a big businessman from the Dongyi Empire.

However, he was from the Imperial School.

He did not attend the Golden Bell Conference this time, but unexpectedly appeared at the dinner, and in this remote corner.

"Sir Yiren." Wu Que said.

The Dongyi Empire businessman smiled and said: "Sir Shen Wuque has a good memory. Because Sky Book City and the Daxia Empire have completely blocked our country's commercial trade, it is inconvenient for me to participate in the Golden Bell Conference this time."

Wuque said: "I understand very well."

The Dongyi Empire businessman said: "But personally, I am very grateful for Lord Shen Wuque's kindness. The Star Reaching Pavilion has brought us huge wealth and also achieved my status."

Wuque said: "We just achieve each other's success."

Yi Ren, a businessman from the Dongyi Empire said: "I heard that Master Shen Wuque is trying hard to compete for the position of lord. Want to drive the corrupt father from the position where he should not be?"

Wuque said: "That's what happened."

Yiren said: "I appreciate this very much. After all, there is a saying in the East that the virtuous live there."

Wuque said: "Thank you very much."

Yi Ren said: "In this first battle, Master Shen Wuque won a great victory. Congratulations."

Wuque said: "This is just the beginning."

Yi Ren said: "I heard that the next second battle is the most critical, which is the battle of the princes. Or it can be said that this second battle determines the fate of Lord Shen Wuque."

Wuque said: "That's right."

Yi Ren said: "As a friend, I want to be concerned about whether Master Shen Wuque's army is ready?"

Wuque said: "We are training troops."

Yiren said: "I heard that the soldiers in the Bone Collar are not very good, and your training progress is not going well."

Wuque said: "Your information is really very well-informed."

Yi Ren said: "As friends, we are willing to help in this regard. We are willing to provide you with a team of five hundred elite warriors for your dispatch. They are definitely the elite among the elite."

Wu Que was stunned.

Yiren said: "You also know that our country has been in the Warring States Period, and the civil war has been fighting for decades. So our country may be relatively rundown, but our country's army is still very powerful. With our help, I believe you can There will be gains in the battle between princes."

Ha ha ha ha!

Interesting, interesting.

The Huangdao Sect of the Dongyi Empire actually took a fancy to Shen Wuque?

Do you want to use the civil war in the Shen Gong family to support Shen Wuque?

Obviously, behind this Yiren is the emperor of the Dongyi Empire and even the Western Holy See.

So, Shen Wuque is definitely not the first, nor the last.

It was even because Shen Wuque recently triggered a civil war in the Shen Gong family, so the local government got involved with Shen Wuque.

So how many people has the Western Holy See fostered in the Eastern world?

Wuque smiled and said, "I'm very grateful. If necessary, I will ask you for help."

Yiren said: "Okay, we are waiting for you at any time. And please don't worry, we are helping you purely out of appreciation, without any requirements."

Wuque said: "I am very grateful."

Yiren said, "Then I'll take my leave."

……………………

Return to the room.

Ji Fan is still writing and drawing, and his waist and hip curves are still extremely enchanting.

He was only wearing a thin layer of silk pajamas.

Wuque stepped forward and put his hands deep into his pajamas.

Ji Fan twisted his delicate body, sat on Shen Wuque's lap, turned his face and kissed him for a while.

Then, he took over the brush from Xie Fan and continued painting.

It's like a big round ball with wood on the inside and metal on the outside.

The whole construction is very complex.

Similar to a large submersible, the space inside is about several cubic meters.

"Has the breathing equipment been tested?" Wuque asked.

Zhi Fan said: "I have tested it several times."

At this moment, footsteps came from outside.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Wuque stepped forward and opened the door.

Suddenly, a woman lifted her black headbutt, and Wuque was about to be thrown to the ground by her sexy aura.

A woman about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a tight-fitting python skin outfit.

Her figure is so explosive that it makes people feel inferior.

Li Huamei’s twin sister, Li Hualan.

Her body seemed to flash and she entered the room in an instant.

Zhi Fan took one look at the other person's figure and looked a little jealous.

Then, go back to the bedroom inside and leave the study to Wu Que and Li Hualan.

"Give me money." Li Hualan said directly.

Wuque said: "How much."

"One hundred thousand taels of gold."

Wu Que said: "Okay, he pointed to several boxes of gold in the corner, and you will take away one hundred thousand taels in a moment."

Li Hualan stepped forward and counted several boxes of gold.

After waving his hands, a dozen black warriors immediately came forward and really moved all the gold away.

"Shen Wuyu spent 350,000 taels of gold to buy your life." Li Hualan said: "We will pretend to be the fleet of the Western Holy See and bombard your ship, and we will bombard it in front of the escort fleet of Piaoling City."

Well!

"After we collect the money, we must do something." Li Hualan said: "We, the pirates in Castlevania, are all about credibility."

Depend on.

You take both sides and still talk about credibility.

"We are only responsible for bombarding your fleet, but we don't care whether your people are on it." Li Hualan said.

Wuque said: "Okay."

Then, Li Hualan added: "In addition, we can also provide you with related transactions. For example, attack Shen Wuyu's fleet, or send another fleet to escort you."

Wuque asked: "How much?"

Li Hualan said: "Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold for attacking Shen Wuyu's fleet. If I escort you, I will add another hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold."

I... day.

You are asking for an exorbitant price.

Shen Wuque has already made two transactions with the Pirate Queen Jade Rakshasa.

In the first transaction, Mi Qi was chasing Shen Wuque's fleet and asked Li Huamei to let him go.

The price Shen Wuque paid was the entrance to a dark realm.

In the second transaction, the Jade Rakshasa sent a giant eagle to pick up Wuque. The price paid was the solution to the entrance password to the secret base of the Dark Academy in this dark realm.

Although it is generous, Castlevania's asking price is really terrifying.

These two prices paid are more than just astronomical benefits.

Then, Li Huamei said: "Of course, we can also provide a giant eagle to bring you and your wife back to the Bone Collar."

Wuque asked: "What's the price?"

Li Huamei said: "With so much gold, the giant eagle cannot move it, so keep it all."

I...fuck you!

This price is too high.

Immediately, Wuque smiled at Li Hualan.

Li Hualan left without saying a word.

……………………

The next day!

The governor's guard of Piaoling City helped and moved hundreds of thousands of taels of gold to the intact fleet.

Then, more than a dozen battleships from Piaoling City escorted them.

The complete fleet left Piaoling City and sailed towards Zhenhai City.

Just a dozen hours later!

A fleet flying the flag of the Western Holy See mercenaries appeared aggressively, completely surrounding Piaoling City and the flawless escort fleet.

Without saying a word, just fire!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The ferocious artillery directly tore several of Shen Wuque's ships into pieces.

During the entire process, Piaoling City's fleet was almost completely powerless.

Because there is a generational difference between the fleets of both sides.

No matter what kind of giant crossbow they are equipped with, they will only be massacred in front of artillery warships.

Even the Piaoling City fleet was affected and four warships were damaged.

……………………

One day later.

The escort fleet of Piaoling City escaped from Piaoling City and reported a shocking news to King Piaoling and Governor Tumen.

Shen Wuque's fleet was attacked and all were destroyed.

The attackers turned out to be mercenaries from the Western Holy See.

Immediately afterwards...

Someone actually claimed responsibility for the attack.

It was announced that this was to punish Shen Wuque for bribing the Western aristocratic businessman Nicholas and stealing information from the Western Holy See.

Any traitor who dares to betray the Western Holy See must die.

The main purpose of this attack was to eliminate the traitor Nicholas. As for the elimination of Shen Wuque's fleet, it was completely incidental.

As soon as the news came out.

The entire Piaoling City was in complete uproar.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Mercenaries from the Western Holy See actually appeared in the waters around Piaoling City.

How will we do business from now on?

This sea area is no longer safe.

People are panicked.

In a short time, many businessmen who had attended the trade conference left by boat.

On the entire Piaoling City pier, countless ships were moving in all directions.

……………………

An ordinary merchant ship.

Shen Wuque, who was said to have been eliminated, was saying goodbye to King Piaoling.

And the 350,000 taels of gold are on this large merchant ship.

"Your Majesty King Piao Ling, thank you for your great kindness." Wu Que said.

King Piao Ling held his daughter's hand and said to Wu Que: "This ship is flying my flag, and it is also flying the flag of the Zhenbei Palace of the Great Xia Empire. It should be absolutely safe. But during the whole process, you'd better Don't show your face and stay in the cabin the entire time."

The so-called hanging the flag of Zhenbei Palace does not mean that there are people from Zhenbei Palace on it, but that the goods on the ship are shipped to Zhenbei Palace.

"Okay." Wu Que said.

Piao Ling Wang asked: "Have you finished moving everything?"

Wuque said: "The move is over, I really made you laugh. We don't have anything in the Bone Collar, so we need to purchase in large quantities in Piaoling City. There are several boxes of my wife's clothes alone."

King Piao Ling said: "It's understandable that a beautiful couple like a flower can live a hard life, but if conditions permit, one must still live a wealthy life."

At this time, Zhi Fan picked up King Piao Ling's daughter and kissed her cheek: "Goodbye, little princess. Welcome to my sister's house to play."

The little girl nodded vigorously.

King Piao Ling said: "You are absolutely kept secret on this fleet. The warriors on this ship are all my absolute confidants. No one will know your whereabouts, not even Governor Tumen."

Wuque said: "Okay."

King Piao Ling sighed deeply and said: "Shen Wuque, do you know that there may really be no Golden Bell Conference and no Trade Conference tomorrow. Piao Ling City may lose its status as a permanent neutral city."

Wuque said: "Troubled times are coming, and everyone is in danger."

King Piao Ling showed a trace of pain in his eyes and said, "Yes, when every decision you make affects the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, everything is too difficult."

Wuque said: "I have recently ruled the White Bones Territory, and I have deeply felt this. We are no longer living for ourselves."

King Piao Ling said: "If you don't live for yourself and live for countless people, you really don't know how many things you will do against your will."

Wu Que stretched out his hand and said, "Your Excellency, King Piao Ling, take care."

King Piaoling stretched out his hand to shake Wuque's and said, "Your Excellency Wuque, take care!"

Then, King Piaoling took his daughter and left the dock secretly.

Wuque and others took this mysterious fleet and left Piaoling City.

…………………………

On a big ship!

Chu Chu and Shen Wuyu were playing chess.

A warrior in black quickly came in and reported in his ear.

"Louder." Shen Wuyu said.

"Yes!" said the warrior in black: "News came from Piaoling City that the Western Holy See mercenary fleet attacked Shen Wuque's fleet. After dozens of rounds of shelling, Shen Wuque's fleet was completely destroyed."

Shen Wuyu nodded and said: "I understand, let's go out."

Then, he said to Chu Chu: "How do you feel when you hear this news? Shen Wuque's fleet was sunk and wiped out."

After a long while, Chu Chu said: "It feels a bit unreal."

Shen Wuyu said: "Why is it not true?"

Chu Chu said: "Shen Wuque is so cunning and extremely smart, how could he be eliminated so easily?"

Shen Wuyu said: "Yes, it makes sense."

Then, he asked: "Chu Chu, if Shen Wuque was in front of you, would you kill him?"

Chu Chu was silent for a while and said: "Kill with your own hands?"

Shen Wuyu said: "Yes."

Chu Chu said: "I don't know, because I haven't really faced this moment."

Shen Wuyu said: "I understand."

Then, he smiled and said: "Second brother will tell you one more thing today, a very important thing."

Chu Chu said: "Yeah."

Shen Wuyu said: "Troubled times are coming."

Chu Chu said: "Then what?"

Shen Wuyu said: "In troubled times, for ordinary people, it means disaster. But for some people, it means unlimited opportunities. This will be a big reshuffle of power."

"In troubled times, anything can happen."

"Some people, in order to protect the interests of their own territory and their own people, have to make decisions that go against their own conscience. For example, they betray their friends and put them to death."

Chu Chu said: "Who are you referring to?"

Shen Wuyu said: "For example, King Piaoling!"

At this time, there was a conch sound outside!

"Woooooooooo..."

Shen Wuyu said: "Here we come, let you watch a big show."

"Do you still remember what I just said to you?" Shen Wuyu said: "If you have the opportunity to kill Shen Wuyu with your own hands, will you do it? Now the opportunity is here!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Chu's expression changed drastically.

at this time!

Looking down on the entire sea from the sky.

The secret fleet that Shen Wuque traveled on included a total of three large merchant ships.

After a day and night of sailing, we were already thousands of miles away from Piaoling City.

The vast sea is dotted with several islands.

suddenly!

The large merchant ship that Wu Que was on contained hundreds of the Piao Ling King's bodyguards.

suddenly……

The leader of the guard warriors directly drew his sword and slashed it towards the mast.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the same time, a dozen warriors took action together.

Crazy hacking at the ship's mast.

Just a few moments.

These masts collapsed.

Suddenly, all the merchant ships immediately circled in place.

Wuque rushed out immediately and asked in a hissing voice: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

King Piao Ling's guards put down their boats one after another without saying a word.

Then they all jumped onto the boat.

He rowed away, leaving Shen Wuque on the merchant ship to die.

The merchant ship Shen Wuque was on turned into a floating coffin.

Immediately afterwards...

From east to west, more than a dozen gunboats appeared, advancing at full speed.

Soon!

These dozen gunboats completely surrounded Shen Wuque's merchant ship.

One of them was not a gunboat, but a normal large ship.

Shen Wuyu came to the deck and gently opened the gun jacket, revealing a large artillery piece.

"Aim at that ship." Shen Wuyu ordered.

Immediately, several gunners stepped forward and aimed their cannons at Shen Wuque's merchant ship.

Shen Wuyu said to Chu Chu: "Did you see that merchant ship? Did you see the people on the deck?"

Chu Chu nodded tremblingly.

He saw that the merchant ship's mast was broken and it was spinning in place, becoming a coffin on the sea.

At this time, Shen Wuque was standing on the deck, looking blankly at the dozen or so gunboats around him.

The lonely coffin at sea was completely surrounded.

Shen Wuyu handed the torch to Chu Chu and said, "Come, light this cannon. Kill Shen Wuque."
