Seeing Zhou Ziru's unstoppable appearance, Zhan Chen couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, don't look over and laugh violently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Ziru saw that his shoulders were shaking violently, and he was very unhappy, and couldn't help but shout: "Zhan Chen, what are you laughing at?

Zhan Chen easily stopped laughing, stepped forward, and relieved Zhou Ziru and said, "Ziru, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"There's something, that's good, wow! Let's go into the house and talk!" Zhou Ziru hurriedly nodded and replied, and said to Ning Zilan, who was still pulling her clothes: "Miss Ning, you go back first." My brother has something to do with me. ”

Ning Zilan pursed her lips and said, "No, every time you either find an excuse to prevaricate me, or you say that you go out on a mission and always avoid me, what is the matter?"

Zhan Chen smiled and persuaded: "Miss Ning, this time I really have something important to discuss with Zhou Ziru, and your father personally ordered it." In this case, you can lend this guy to me today, and in two days I will definitely tie him to your house and accompany you for a few days and nights, how about it?"

After all, Xiao Nizi was so deceiving, she actually believed it and said, "Okay then! But Zhan Chen, you remember it for me!"

"A word is a certainty!" Zhan Chen "secretly" winked at her in front of Zhou Ziru.

Ning Zilan left happily. Looking at her distant back, Zhou Ziru said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, you can do it! When did you learn this hand? This is not like you at all." ”

Zhan Chen smiled smugly and said, "This is called 'strategic flexibility', isn't it for you to solve the siege?"

Zhou Ziru glanced at him and asked again: "Why, I see that your interest is very high today, didn't you encounter something good?"

"Let's go in and talk. ”

So they went into the house. After sitting down, Zhou Ziru asked, "Zhan Chen, what's the matter?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he said, "Ziru, we can enter the Ning family's dock." ”

"What are you talking about? What's going on?" Zhou Ziru was surprised.

So Zhan Chen told Shou Tian about appointing him as the head of the dockyard.

Zhou Ziru still couldn't believe it when he heard it: "Is there really such a good thing?"

"Well, here's the token. Zhan Chen took out the token and shook it in front of him.

Only then did Zhou Ziru confirm that everything was true, and he also said excitedly: "This is really good! We can finally see the Tongtian Shenzhou! And it can be regarded as a relief for me, finally don't be pestered by Ning Zilan, a little girl, every day, so that I can't cultivate." ”

Zhan Chen smiled and teased: "But isn't it, I have broken through the realm of the Great Perfection of Emperor Wu, and you haven't yet." ”

"Zhan Chen, don't be too arrogant, I already feel it, a breakthrough is just around the corner!

"Okay, I'm here to tell you about this today, early the day after tomorrow, gather in front of the Ning Mansion, don't be late, if you're late, I have to choose another person!" While saying, Zhan Chen got up and walked towards the door, but heard Zhou Ziru's scolding from behind: "Zhan Chen, if you dare not take me, just wait for me to find you desperately!" couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

After leaving Zhou Ziru's place, Zhan Chen went to find other offerings, but it happened that Yang Nan and Zhao Shankui, whom he knew, were both there, so Zhan Chen naturally wanted to invite them. And after the two of them learned about Ning Weitian's appointment to him, they both sighed, and they couldn't imagine that the newcomer who only had a high-level cultivation of Emperor Wu just a year ago could now get such favor from Master Ning, which really made them embarrassed.

After that, Zhan Chen visited the other seven people who were familiar with him, making up the number of ten. And early on the morning of the third day, everyone was concentrated in front of Ning Mansion, and the hundred powerful guards sent by Ning Weitian to Zhan Chen were already in place.

Zhan Chen stood on a high place, looked down at a glance, and saw that those guards were all restrained and restrained, and all of them had high-level cultivation of Emperor Wu, and secretly sighed: Ning Weitian has also made great efforts for the defense of the dock. So I introduced myself to those people.

Everyone was surprised to see that Zhan Chen was able to take on the position of chief steward at such a young age, but he had the master's golden order in his hand, and no one could question it. Zhan Chen was not verbose, casually learned about everyone's basic situation, and then led the team to rush to the direction of the Ning family's dock.

Ningjia Dock is located on the bank of the Yuan River. Everyone hurried to the destination, at a glance, they saw a tall water village standing on the shore, like a fortress, the wall alone is as high as more than 20 meters, on the wall, there is also a watchtower, someone is always responsible for guarding, to prevent all possible threats in all directions.

Seeing a group of people coming, the two guards at the door stepped forward and respectfully asked Zhan Chen, who was the leader, "May I ask if you are the head of the war?"

"Not bad. Zhan Chen took out his gold medal and shook it at the guard.

"It turns out that you are really the manager of Zhan, please come in!" The two verified Zhan Chen's identity, and hurriedly opened the door and hugged Zhan Chen and the others into the village.

Entering the stockade, Zhan Chen looked at it at a glance, and it was another scene. The Ningjia dockyard was built very large, almost like a small city. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a road stretching at your feet, more than 2,000 meters, to the shore of the Yuan River, and the road is full of houses and buildings, row upon row, and you can't count them for a while. Zhan Chen didn't expect a dock to be of such a scale.

And at the farthest point is the raging abyss river, on which are docked a dozen huge sailing ships, the smallest of which can accommodate a hundred people.

Those ships made Zhan Chen's eyes light up, and he began to guess which of the so-called Tongtian Shenzhou was one of them.

At this time, he listened to the guard who brought them in next to him and suggested to him: "War Commander, you have just arrived, go to the Governor's Mansion to rest first, you worship and guard, you also need to settle down, and when everything is arranged, you can take up your post." ”

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, but don't worry about my accommodation for now, you can be our guide first, and give us a general introduction to this dock." ”

"Yes!"

The guard then led the group on a tour of the dockyard's facilities, including residential quarters, material warehouses, shipyards, docks, boatmen's resthouses, lighthouses, and outposts.

After this turn, an hour passed, and everyone had a vague impression of the whole dock.

Eventually, the guards led them to a residential area. The house there was only three stories high, and there was only one spacious room on each floor, which was neatly furnished and well-maintained, where the guards lived, and there were separate courtyards for the worshippers to live in.

Zhan Chen arranged the rooms for the worship and guards, and then walked out alone with the guards, and said to the guards: "You can go too, and then I will go to the governor's mansion alone." ”

"Yes!" the guard waited for Zhan Chen's order, and then he was relieved and went back happily.

And Zhan Chen came to the governor's mansion alone, the governor's mansion is a tall building on the third floor, the first floor is the council hall, the second floor is mainly a private reception room, and the third floor is for the governor to live. There are also two guards guarding the door.

When they saw Zhan Chen coming here, they stepped forward to stop them and asked, "Who is coming?"

Zhan Chen showed them the manager token, and the two of them knew that this was the new manager of the house, one of them hurriedly ran into the report, and the other welcomed him in.

As soon as he entered the foyer, Zhan Chen heard a rush of footsteps coming from the stairs. An old man with white hair trotted down from the stairs with a smile on his face, greeted Zhan Chen, and arched his hand: "Old man Jiang Zhun, meet the chief manager." ”

Zhan Chen saw that he was kind and amiable, and his eyes flashed with wisdom, like a well-educated person, he didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "Mr. Jiang is polite, may I ask who you are?"

"I am the director of the shipyard, the chief engineer of Tongtian Shenzhou, and the temporary chief manager of the previous position. Manager Zhan, I received a letter from Master Ning earlier saying that you were coming, but I was delayed by some things, so I couldn't welcome you from afar, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

"It turns out that you are the chief engineer of the Tongtian Shenzhou!" Zhan Chen was startled.

"Hehe, yes, our Ning family's Tongtian Shenzhou was designed and built by me according to ancient drawings. ”

"Oh, can you take me to see it?" Zhan Chen was a little impatient.

"You are the general manager, the chief of the dock, you want to visit Shenzhou, you can do it at any time. It's just that you've just arrived, and I still haven't reported to you a lot of things. ”

"It's okay, we'll talk as we go. ”

"Hehe, you're too anxious, first of all, let's clean up your mansion, after all, you're going to work here for a long time. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you downstairs, you pack up, and we'll leave right away, chatting while walking. Oh, by the way, it's the key to the top floor, and I'm finally able to return it to its rightful owner now. Jiang Zhunsheng said as he took out a jade plaque from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Zhan Chen.

"Oh well. Zhan Chen took the jade plaque in his hand and went upstairs, there are more than a dozen independent small rooms on the second floor that can receive different guests, and now the doors of these rooms are open, and there are several female cultivators in them to tidy up.

Zhan Chen only glanced at it slightly, and then went straight to the third floor, there was only one door and one household on the third floor, which was exclusively for the chief manager to live in. He opened the door with a jade plaque and walked into it, and as far as the eye could see, the area of this house exceeded 1,000 square meters, with eight bedrooms and one living room, luxurious decoration, extraordinary style, and even entertainment rooms, hot springs and other pleasure facilities.

He walked directly to the cultivation room, opened the door, and felt bursts of viscous aura rushing towards him, making the entire cultivation room seem to be shrouded in a cloud and mist, and suddenly wondered, could it be that there is a spirit array running here?

So he stepped into it again, but found that in the middle of the cultivation room there was a passage mouth sealed with a huge iron net, and when he looked up and down, he saw that at the bottom of the passage was a bubbling clear spring, and bursts of spiritual energy were bubbling from the spring.

"This is the spiritual spring!" Zhan Chen was startled, he had seen the spiritual spring in the cave under the waterfall on Meishan Island, and after decades, he saw it again under this abyss pool.

"Master, what an aura!" Sure enough, the voice of the frightened boy sounded in his mind again: "This spiritual spring is nearly ten times that of the previous one! As long as you can cultivate here for ten or eight years, you will definitely be able to break through the Martial Saint!"

Zhan Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's still ten or eight years, and I don't know how long this manager can last." ”

"Hehe, master, don't be discouraged, I can feel that the aura of the places you have been to recently is getting stronger and stronger, and I believe that you will encounter the spiritual spring more often in the future." You might even be able to come across a spiritual spring that contains the aura of a fairy. ”

Zhan Chen stared at Lingquan for a long time, and really wanted to sit down and retreat and cultivate immediately, but he couldn't, and now he was still shouldering a heavy responsibility, and he couldn't help himself. So, he had to turn away, close the door and go downstairs.

At this time, Jiang Zhunsheng had been waiting below for a long time, and as soon as he saw him come down, he greeted him and said, "Manager Zhan, let's go, I'll take you to visit our dock!"

A hint of interest flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he replied, "Okay!"

So the two of them walked along the avenue straight in the direction of the dock.
