Chapter 5 Safety Patrol

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Yu left the reefs in Ming Yi's small boat, and under his guidance, boarded one of the warships named Thorny Heart.  A middle-aged man had long been waiting here with a few followers.

    He took a look at the nobleman Ming Yi was talking about.  He was about forty, with a royal blue shirt, his hair in a bun, and an ebony hairpin inserted in it. His mustache was neatly groomed, full of energy, chic and dignified.

    Ming Yi introduced: "Zhang Shaolang, this is Zhao Xiangcheng, the director of the Security Inspection Committee."

    Zhang Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Master Zhao."

    Zhao Xiangcheng had just seen Zhang Yu's appearance clearly at this moment, and he couldn't help but be amazed.  At this time, he noticed Xia Jian beside Zhang Yu's hand, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Shaolang killed that young salamander?"

    Zhang Yu said: "It's just a fluke."

    Zhao Xiangcheng got an affirmative answer, and his heart was churning. The main responsibility of the Security Patrol Committee is to clean up the pirates and strange monsters on the routes of the islands. He is very aware of the power of spiritual creatures. He has just received confirmation from the guards around him.  Zhang Yu is just an ordinary person.

    It is hard to imagine that a young man without supernatural strength can do such a thing.

    He said sternly: "Zhang Shaolang, the Dafu ship is my property. If the ship sinks, it can be rebuilt, but if human life is lost, it is irreparable. Here I want to thank you for saving the lives of the entire ship."

    As he spoke, he bowed solemnly.

    Zhang Yu returned a modest salute and said, "I'm just saving myself."

    Zhao Xiangcheng said with a smile: "Zhang Shaolang said modestly, act from the heart, follow the heart, a person's true character is often not even clear to himself, only in times of crisis can you see it, your deeds are worthy of being called a gentleman.  At this moment, he seemed to think of something, paused, and said: "May I ask, Zhang Shaolang, are you Xia Zi?"

    Zhang Yudao: "According to the household records, my parents are both from Xia."

    After the establishment of Duhufu, many aborigines joined Tianxia, ??and the descendants of Duhufu who were born after their union with the Xia people naturally also entered Xia nationality.  However, only when both parents are Xia people can they be called "Xiazi".  The local area is even more stringent, and it takes three generations to count.

    "Sure enough, it's Xia Zi." Zhao Xiangcheng looked even more amiable. He fixed his eyes on Zhang Yu and asked slowly: "Zhang Shaolang, do you think Tian Xia is still there?"

    Ming Yi has been standing aside since he got on the boat. Hearing this sentence, he also raised his head to look at Zhang Yu, as if he wanted to know how he answered.

    As soon as Zhang Yu changed his mind, sixty years ago, the arrival of the turbid tide cut off the connection between the Dongting Protectorate's Mansion and the mainland.

    Many people now suspect that Tianxia no longer exists, just like the civilizations that rose up in the previous epochs, they were submerged in this catastrophe.

    He also looked at the two of them, and replied with certainty: "Of course."

    Zhao Xiangcheng said in surprise: "Oh? Why do you think so?"

    He has seen many people who have hope for the existence of Tianxia, ??and he has also seen many people who hold a pessimistic attitude, but it is rare to see such a firm answer.

    Zhang Yu said calmly: "Because wherever there are Tianxia people, there is Tianxia."

    Zhao Xiangcheng was stunned for a while, his eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and said: "Well said! Well said, where there are people from Tianxia, ??it is Tianxia!" He turned sideways to invite, and said:  "Zhang Shaolang, come, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet before, please be sure to honor it!"

    Zhang Yuxin agreed, and followed him to the cabin.

    Just at this moment, the two of them suddenly saw small boats sailing towards the reef, apparently aiming at the corpse of the newt.

    Zhao Xiangcheng paused slightly, turned his head and said, "Zhang Shaolang, you killed this monster, what are you going to do with it?"

    Spiritual organisms are of great value, the muscles, bones, and membranes can be used to make weapons, and most of the visceral fat can be used to make medicine and boil oil.  Moreover, many people in the Duhu Mansion firmly believe that eating the meat of spiritual creatures can gain strength from it, and they are often sold out as soon as they appear on the market, and can be sold at a very high price.

    Zhang Yu had considered this issue before, and he said: "I remember that the Duhufu has a clear law on the seizure of spiritual creatures?"

    Zhao Xiangcheng said: "There is this decree. As long as you can prove that the spiritual creature was captured by yourself, 30% will go to the person who captured it, 50% will go to the public treasury, and the remaining 20% ??will go to the local government. But this reef is no longer  Under the jurisdiction of any island, there is no need to calculate the consumption of the place."

    Zhang Yu arched his hands and said: "According to the agreement made by the Governor's Mansion sixty years ago, as long as it is in the sea area of ??Tenghai, it should be counted under the jurisdiction of the islands. Please Master Zhao transfer 20% to the islands on my behalf.Feeling regretful, he said: "Since Zhang Shaolang is unwilling, I will not force you. But Shaolang, do you know that you killed a newt by yourself?  In the record, then you can judge your merits as a 'scholar'."

    Zhang Yu is very clear about the laws and Juelu of the Protectorate of the Eastern Court.

    "Scholar" is the first level of civilian nobility. To become a scholar is no longer a simple citizen, but has the right to consult and advise, and to be an official in the government.

    But in fact this is not easy to do.

    The meritorious service of the Lord is generally awarded by the Duhufu after verification.  But if the person being evaluated does not have sufficient resources and background, it is almost impossible.  On the contrary, if it is recommended by someone with a higher status, there is a higher probability of passing.

    He said: "This is not easy."

    "It's not easy." Zhao Xiangcheng admitted this, showing a bit of sincerity, "Zhang Shaolang, I admire what you did before, but who can do it for a gentleman like you?  What about 'discipline'? I'm going to do this for you, but you have to wait patiently. It's not easy to raise a 'disciple', and we're not ready for this year's division conference."

    Zhang Yu did not refuse this time, nodded and said: "Then thank you very much, Master."

    If he has the status of a scholar, it is convenient to do many things, including he can go to many places that ordinary people cannot go to, and he can also consult many undisclosed classics and documents.

    After this banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

    Zhang Yu went to the cabin to rest first on the pretext of being tired.

    Zhao Xiangcheng sighed and said: "It's a pity, it would be great if he could join our security patrol."

    Ming Yi said: "The master seems to value this Zhang Shaolang very much?"

    Zhao Xiangcheng looked at the vast blue sea outside the window, and said: "Do you know why I am willing to help him? It's not because he saved the lives of the entire crew of the Dafu, nor because he killed the newt, but because he is like him.  Talent is the cornerstone of Tianxia, ??and Tianxia is supported by countless young people like this."

    Ming Yi said: "But now there is only the Duhufu."

    Zhao Xiangcheng said firmly: "Yes, there is only the Duhufu now, but the tide will recede, just wait, it won't be long before the light of Tianxia will shine on the top of Anshan again."
