Chapter 335 Invitation

Wow!

The water surface suddenly broke open and Zhang Yuan jumped out from the water.

Landed steadily on the boat.

He was holding a large box in his hand.

The wooden box was covered with copper. Due to being submerged in water for a long time, the surface showed signs of decay and was attached with parasites such as algae and snails.

Zhang Yuan put the box down and opened the lid casually.

All I saw was large ingots of silver neatly packed inside.

Although the surface of the silver ingots turns black due to water absorption, this does not detract from their value!
This box of silver contains at least five thousand taels.

Zhang Yuan had just salvaged it from an underwater shipwreck.

Carrying the box of silver ingots, he returned to Jinsha Island.

Returning to the boathouse where he lived, Zhang Yuan handed the silver box to Wang Wu and said, "Take it all and don't be afraid to spend it. When you're done, I'll find a few more boxes for you."

Over the past month, Wang Wu has been busy on Jinsha Island and its surrounding land islands.

He made full use of his advantage as a native of Damengze, relying on gold and silver to pave the way and weave a large network composed of many spies to find the whereabouts of the white wolf.

Although so far, no useful clues have emerged.

But Zhang Yuan felt that the honeysuckle was worth it.

When he came to Damengze this time, he didn't bring much money with him, and it was not enough to support such a huge expenditure.

But for Zhang Yuan, this is not a problem at all.

Damengze has been inhabited for hundreds of years. Trade between islands and with the outside world depends entirely on ship transportation. Over the years, countless ships have sunk under the many waterways.

Due to the strange existence underwater, not many people dare to attack these shipwrecks.

Especially in deep water areas, even the most daring fishermen dare not dive down - those who do not believe in it have already died!

But Zhang Yuan was not afraid at all.

Relying on the extraordinary abilities of the White Dragon Loach, his combat power underwater is even stronger.

So these shipwrecks naturally became Zhang Yuan’s “piggy bank”.

Of course, not all shipwrecks contain treasures. In fact, not many can yield gold and silver.

But Zhang Yuan’s search efficiency is high.

Last time I went to Linzhong Lake, I had a close contact with a group of white loaches, and had a dream of turning into a dragon in the water.

Zhang Yuan discovered that his water properties had undergone some fundamental changes.

And new capabilities have also been derived.

Now his level of perception underwater has increased dramatically, as if he had installed the latest sonar, greatly improving the range and accuracy of his detection.

The box of silver ingots that Zhang Yuan gave to Wang Wu was found in a shipwreck discovered a few days ago.

The wreck is located at great depths and is mostly covered in silt and weeds.

Still couldn't hide from his detection.

And there are at least dozens of similar silver boxes in this shipwreck!
Wang Wu was full of admiration.

He was no rookie and he knew the origin of the silver box as soon as he saw it.

It can be said that Zhang Yuan's ability has refreshed his cognition time and time again.

The man who came from the lower class of the market nodded vigorously, feeling both touched and guilty.

He spent a lot of Zhang Yuan's gold and silver.

As a result, I haven't gained anything so far, and I feel very sorry for Zhang Yuan.

But Zhang Yuan not only did not blame him, but he did not hesitate to find more silver for him to "squander".

Wang Wu’s desire to die became extremely strong!
A gentleman will die for his confidant. Being able to hold on to such a strong supporter is undoubtedly the greatest luck in his life.

Wang Wu's idea of ​​"digging out" the white wolf became more determined. Suppressing the waves in his heart, he said to Zhang Yuan in a deep voice: "Sir, the recent situation is not very good."

Compared with more than a month ago, the situation on Jinsha Island has deteriorated significantly.

First, more people from other islands came here, causing prices on Jinsha Island and several surrounding small and medium-sized land islands to rise further, and many people could hardly afford to eat.

What's worse is that the number of merchant ships coming to Jinsha Island has greatly decreased.

Merchant ships maintain the lifeline between landing islands. Without merchant ships to transport food and supplies, densely populated islands would find it difficult to survive for long.

As a result, many people take risks, and theft, robbery, and murder occur frequently.

Although the Jinsha Gang tried its best to suppress it and sent more patrols to maintain law and order, it was unable to solve the problem fundamentally.

The root cause was naturally the attack on Damengze by the Nanman Wuqi tribe!
At present, warships of the Wuqi tribe frequently appear in the waters near Jinsha Island.

They destroyed fishing boats, looted passing merchant ships, and even plundered several land islands on the edge of Jinsha Island's sphere of influence.

Everyone believes that the Wuqi tribe will officially go to war with the Jinsha Gang next.

Those who are optimistic about the Jinsha Gang do not have an advantage.

Under such circumstances, many people want to leave Jinsha Island again.

But this is easier said than done.

First, the prices of merchant ship tickets have been rising steadily, to the point where ordinary people are simply unable to afford them.

Secondly, even if we get on a merchant ship, we may not be able to leave Damengze safely.

More people find it hard to leave their homeland.

Some people came from Xiaxu themselves and came here to avoid disaster after committing crimes or offending others.

Wouldn't it be a trap to go back again?
Wang Wu had spies all over the country, and the information he obtained was far more extensive and more accurate than what Zhang Yuan heard in taverns and teahouses.

He couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"I know."

Zhang Yuan certainly understood the current situation. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Even if the Wuqi tribe attacks Jinsha Island, I have a way to take you away."

"Excuse me, is Master Chen Zi'an here?"

Zhang Yuan had just given Wang Wu some reassurance when a loud voice of inquiry suddenly came from outside the boathouse.

Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly fixed.

By switching to the Red-Eyed Crow's perspective, he discovered that a speedboat was rapidly approaching his residence.

Standing at the bow was a warrior dressed in the uniform of the Jinsha Gang.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he went out to respond: "I am Chen Zian, what can I do for you?"

The warrior clasped his fists and saluted, then held up a letter with both hands: "Sir, this is an invitation letter from my gang leader, please check it."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his arms, and the letter instantly flew out of his hands and towards Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed it: "Thank you for your hard work."

The warrior of the Jinsha Gang saluted again: "Your Excellency is too kind. I still have to deliver the letter, so I won't bother you any more."

After saying this, the speedboat he was on turned around and left.

Zhang Yuan watched the ship disappear from his sight, then opened the envelope.

The content of this invitation letter was very simple, inviting Zhang Yuan to go to the Juyi Hall on Jinsha Island the day after tomorrow morning.

Discuss together the plan to fight against the Wuqi tribe.

The person who invited him was none other than Fan Tai, the leader of the Jinsha Gang!

The top leaders of the Jinsha Gang could no longer sit still.

Zhang Yuan took the invitation letter without feeling the slightest bit of surprise.

What he was thinking about was whether this incident would affect his search for the White Wolf!
