300 Chapter 300 Cloudship Secret Meeting (2/2)
The 2 other people in the hall sat silent, their faces extremely solemn.
Although they didn't speak, they firmly believed in what Xiong Ba said.
Feng Nu slightly nodded his head, ”There are too many rumors about that day and it is difficult to differentiate true from false. The 3 of our cities have placed so many ears and eyes there and they have all been wiped out. And also the various government decrees published were all great strategies, able to greatly increase Gantian mountain's strength. This kid might be as they say, that he can't cultivate. However, if we give him one or two more years, he might take control of Gantian Mountain and cause the people to all willingly serve him. However, because we know about that possibility, we will work together this time...”
His tone changed once more as he said respectfully, ”No matter how smart that Zong Shou is, his ability beneath the cloud ocean isn't 1/10000 of Brother Yue. I think at most Gantian mountain can gather 500 cloud ships, along with Xuan Mountain city. Their numbers won't exceed a thousand. With the 3 of us joining hands, just ships alone we will exceed them by 3 times. With Brother Yue commanding, we will cause them to earn nothing and go home empty-handed.”
When Yue Guanyun heard that, he smiled in a conceited manner and didn't act humble. His eyes shone,”I do have an idea. Since this Zong Shou doesn't know what's good for him why not we send messengers to ask their lackey subordinate cities. That out 3 cities are hunting together whether or not they will come with us! Follow them and eat nothing or follow us to hunt beasts.”
Xiong Ba and Feng Nu exchanged glances, their eyes showing a smile. Yue Guanyun's words were exactly what they wanted to hear.
...
At the same time, in Rainbow City, 700 miles away. Zong Shou, who was seen as a strong enemy by Yue Guanyun and the other 2 had already caused Ren Bo to shake in fury.
After breaking through to earth chakra 3 meridians, the 1st thing Zong Shou did was to splash gold and beast crystals to buy numerous expensive items. He hired several merchants to decorate his sleeping palace lavishly. He also hired several spirit masters to give this small place hall a warm formation to make it such that the place was like summer all 4 Seasons, using 7-800 grade 4 beast crystals.
He even wanted to move a fake mountain on this giant ship to make a small garden. However, as time wasn't enough and it was difficult to move which was why he stopped.
It made Ren Bo feel heart pained and his face turned ashen white. With this money, they could hire close to hundred xiantian masters, however, Zong Shou wasted it just like that.
No matter how he persuaded, Zong Shou treated it as passing wind, not bothering at all. If it wasn't because of Zong Weiran's kindness to him and some hope he had for Zong Shou, he wanted to quit immediately.
Apart from preparing resources for the hundreds of cloud ships, he had to think about how to lead Zong Shou onto the right path.
Even Chuxue couldn't take it anymore, her heart filled with worry Everyday. However, she was used to obeying his orders and to try to convince him was something she didn't know how to.
Ruoshui didn't care at all, lazily sleeping on the soft mattress made of grade 6 bear leather.
As for Xuan Yunlan that followed along, she couldn't take it. Even as an outsider, she felt that Zong Shou was a little too materialistic.
”I heard that wise rulers are always prudent and thrifty. Ruler do you know that one grade 4 beast crystal can solve food and clothing problems for 500 families for 10 years? The money the ruler used to decorate the palace can raise a ten thousand men army for a year?”
Chuxue vigorously nodded her head, ”That's right. In the past the ruler didn't even bear to eat a good meal, each meal he only ate 4 dishes.”
While she spoke she stared right at Zong Shou, at the huge table with 10 dishes which were all cooked by invited famous chefs. The dishes were all delicious, making her drool.
Respect appeared on Xuan Yunlan's face, thinking that Zong Weiran was a true ruler. No wonder he could start a country with nothing and be able to make such a gigantic empire. Unfortunately, in the end, he failed on his strong martial path talent.
Zong Shou was speechless, taking the chopsticks and heavily smacking Chuxue's head, ”don't speak as if you don't know! If I don't spend my beast crystals, should I put them in my bag to rot? Don't you know that the path of finance focuses on the flow of money? If the rich don't spend, how can the poor people live?”
Xuan Yunlan was at a loss, looking at Zong Shou like she was looking at an idiot. Coincidentally Ren Bo walked in, and when he heard those words, he was startled.
This was the first time he heard such logic. Was it wrong to be prudent and thrifty?
