Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 16 Walking in the Fog

On March 20th, the sun is shining and spring is back.

At the dock of Muyu Island, Jiang Chen, carrying a boat full of treasures, stepped out of Muyu Island for the first time and headed for the Little Jinsha Valley in Baihe.

Watching Jiang Chen's boat going farther and farther, everyone on Muyu Island had different expressions. If this guy comes back, he should be the fourth in command. Although the Dangjiang bandits are mixed in the green forest, they are quite powerful. If he can become the fourth in command, he will be considered the number one figure in the nearby counties. From then on, he will hold power and have no worries about wealth and honor. This is the dream of countless people.

Under the gaze of everyone, the small boat that Jiang Chen was sitting on was gradually swallowed up by the thick fog.

"The method of practitioners."

Standing at the bow and looking at the waterway in front of him, Jiang Chen's heart moved slightly.

After leaving Muyu Island and entering Mihun Bay, the entire river surface was shrouded in thick fog, as if it was trapped by a huge bowl. But at this moment, there was a waterway with unobstructed passage and a wide view on the river surface shrouded in thick fog, as if some force had squeezed away the thick fog and forcibly created a passage for boats to pass through.

Such a scene cannot be described as a simple natural wonder. It was definitely created deliberately by someone. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the Dangjiang bandits can occupy Mihun Bay, raise flags and collect fees, and remain standing.

"According to Shouhou and the others, the channel in Mihun Bay adjusts every once in a while. If you rush in without proper guidance, you'll definitely end up in trouble. This also shows that there is indeed someone controlling this, and this person is most likely the boss."

"This method is definitely not just a simple magic trick. This bandit leader who single-handedly established the Dangjiang Bandits is indeed no ordinary person."

Silently sensing the situation of the waterway, various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind. It was obvious that in addition to his martial arts and the talisman techniques he practiced, Iron Man Butcher had other trump cards.

Just as Jiang Chen fell into deep thought, Shi Tou walked over carefully.

"Boss, this is the final list of gifts and the list of important people in Little Sands Valley."

With a respectful expression, Shitou handed over the two booklets.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen took another look at Shi Tou. He had mentioned the gift list, but not the list of personnel from Xiaojinsha Valley. It was obvious that Shi Tou had taken the initiative to collect it.

"You have a heart."

After praising him, Jiang Chen took the two booklets and began to read them carefully.

"Controlling the waterways, the leaders of the Dangjiang bandits are indeed quite wealthy. They have gathered almost all the materials I need. This way, the medicinal baths needed for martial arts training and the instruments for refining and preserving qi and blood will no longer be a problem."

After reading the gift list, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. Coming from the end of the world, no one knew the importance of resources better than him.

"Let's summarize the situation of these people. There may be more twists and turns in the Golden Sand Valley. We also need to prepare some available people."

After careful consideration, Jiang Chen ticked off a few names on the list. Neither he nor his predecessor knew much about these people, and his selection criteria were very simple, just looking at whether the gifts were valuable.

Hearing this, Shitou understood and couldn't help but sigh that these people were very lucky. You know, the jobs in Jinsha Valley are very lucrative. Of course, the most important thing is to catch the eye of the big boss. Maybe others don't know, but he has seen the big boss practice martial arts, and he may have entered the first-class realm.

After giving these instructions, Jiang Chen flipped through another booklet and finally stopped his gaze on a name.

"Qian Wen was originally an accountant in Qinghe County. He later offered his sister to Zhao Meng as a concubine, earning him recognition. He is currently serving as the chief steward of Jinsha Valley."

Looking at Qian Wen's name, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

With Zhao Er's arrival, Jiang Chen was fully aware of Zhao Meng's intentions. Zhao Meng simply wanted him to become a clay or stone statue, ignoring the affairs of Jinsha Valley and allowing them to pass the three years in peace. Unfortunately, this was unacceptable to Jiang Chen. After all, he needed resources, and most importantly, a lion would never accept a threat from a hyena. "Get to Jinsha Valley as soon as possible."

After leaving a few words, Jiang Chen turned around and walked into the cabin to continue his practice today.

Just like that, after leaving Mihun Bay and sailing for a day and a night, Jiang Chen and his party finally entered Baihe River and arrived at Jinsha Valley. On the simple pier, a group of Jinsha Valley's small managers were already waiting here under the leadership of Qian Wen.

Judging from their expressions and the corners of their clothes wet with dew, they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Qian Wen and his staff came to see the chief."

Looking at Jiang Chen walking down from the boat, Qian Wen immediately stepped forward and bowed. The five stewards following behind him also made the same gesture.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Qian Wen.

His body was as thin as a hemp stalk, his face was as thin and long as a donkey's, he had a big mole on his chin, and his eyes were small. He did not look like a good person.

Noticing Jiang Chen's gaze falling on him, Qian Wen remained calm and maintained a respectful attitude.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen casually nodded as a response, and then led a group of people straight into the Jinsha Valley without paying much attention to Qian Wen and others.

"this···"

Seeing Jiang Chen's attitude, several junior managers of Jinsha Valley looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Steward, this Chief Jiang is a bit too arrogant. You've been waiting here for so long, and he actually..."

Seeing Jiang Chen and his group walking away, one of Qian Wen's confidants couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Qian Wen's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately gave his confidant a fierce look.

Seeing this, the confidant immediately shut up. It was obvious that Qian Wen still had a lot of prestige in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Qian Wen sighed softly, and his expression finally relaxed.

"It's nothing, it's just a little face. A new official has three fires when he takes office. If this big boss wants to show off, I will give him the power. As long as he doesn't interfere with our business, it's fine."

Qian Wen spoke in a low voice, expressing his attitude. Before Jiang Chen arrived, he had already inquired about Jiang Chen's situation through various channels. He knew that Jiang Chen was the kind of weird person who didn't like trivial matters, didn't like to form cliques, and was devoted to practicing martial arts.

It was precisely because of this that he had made preparations and planned to do a good job of prestige, holding Jiang Chen high up and letting him concentrate on practicing martial arts, while he would take care of the mundane matters.

Hearing this, several people present looked at each other and nodded. Today, Jinsha Valley has become an iron plate due to the involvement of interests, and those who are not sociable have long sunk to the bottom of the river.

"Just let me suffer a little longer so that the big boss can have some free time."

With a sigh and after composure was adjusted, Qian Wen walked towards the Jinsha Valley.

Seeing this, everyone hurried to follow.
