Zhou Tong didn't care whether Chen Asi was happy or not, or whether Chen Asi was willing to move out. He had already spoken.
As a senior brother who had not returned for a long time, he had already discovered his special feelings for his master's wife, let alone this master who had been with his master's wife day and night!
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zhou Tong was just about to leave when Lord Zeng called out to him.
"Second Young Master, how have you been?"
"Lord Zeng, why did you call me this time?”
"Why? Can't I talk to you for nothing? Deputy Zhang, let's go to my house."
The three of them got into the car and arrived at Lord Zeng's small villa. Zhou Tong looked at the large Buddha in the middle of the courtyard and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Lord Zeng, I still don't understand how you managed to invite this Buddha back.”
Zhou Tong had personally gone to the ruins of the original Great Buddha, but he had not found any clues. It was as if a large part of the mountain had suddenly been emptied.
There was no trace of the soil being moved.
"Haha, you're still curious about this? Didn't you say that I have a special method to move it? Let's go. Don't stand here. What's there to see about the Buddha?”
This Lord Zeng was a branch of the Zhang family in the northeast. He was forthright, generous, and did not care about trifles.
"I'm here to ask you what you think of the current situation.”
"Lord Zeng, this is a little difficult for me. What do I think? I'll sit and watch now!"
"Don't be silly with me here. Talk nicely and tell me your opinion. No matter what, you're still a member of our Nine Gates.”
"Lord Zeng, it's not that I don't want to say it, but even if I say it, it won't change anything!”
"Why can't you change it? If I ask you to say it, then say it. There's no outsider here. Why are you dawdling like a woman?”
“... Then I'll say it. Don't blame me if I'm wrong. I won't talk about the general direction. Let's talk about Sand City!”
"Lord Zeng, don't you think that your power in Sand City is a little too great?”
"Black, you have the nickname of the Nine Gates Admiral. White, you are also an officer of a region. You are both black and white.”
"The entire Sand City is like an iron plate under your command. As a leader, this is the situation that I hate the most.”
"I think that after Sand City stabilizes, the higher-ups will send people over one after another to divide the power in your hands.”
The onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved. Lord Zhang had never thought about these things, although he had mentioned it when he was chatting with Lord Jie.
However, Lord Zeng had not taken it to heart at the time, but Zhou Tong, as a rookie of Sand City, had also noticed it. This showed many problems.
"At that time, 9th master told me about this. Is my current position really that awkward?”
"Isn't it awkward? What's the difference between your current state and a small warlord? In Sand City, if you go outside and listen, is there a second voice?”
"Lord Zeng, I admit that you are good at fighting, but your political sense is not high. Many things cannot be explained by fists!”
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lord Zeng smiled.
"Haha, that's right. I'm indeed good at fighting. Since I'm not good at politics, are you willing to be my officer and help me keep an eye on them?”
"Forget it, I can't do it. My hands are too dark. A person like me can't have power. Once I have power, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but do something out of line.”
Zhou Tong couldn't be blamed for saying this. Three years ago, Liu Quan had been out sweeping goods, but in the end, he had been beaten up by a local bully. When Zhou Tong heard this, he had gone to exterminate the entire family without saying a word.
You want such a person to work? Isn't that asking for trouble?
"Haha, that's true. I almost forgot that you're also a killing star.”
"Then what do you think I should do now to make my position less awkward?”
"There's no other way. With your identity here, let's wait for the higher-ups to send someone over to cause trouble. The situation is so tense now, and we don't know when a war will break out.”
"Just drag it out. As long as you don't cause any trouble during this period of time, you'll be able to stay in Sand City. When war breaks out, you'll naturally be relatively safe.”
"Well, that's all we can do for now. If only you weren't so murderous. When the time comes, I can recommend you to sit in my position.”
"I don't have a strong killing intent. If they don't provoke me, I won't provoke them either.”
"Alright, it's getting late. I'll get the adjutant to send you back later. Perhaps you'll restrain your temper a little when you're older.”
"Maybe. Then Lord Zeng, I'll leave first. Let's talk another day.”
Zhou Tong returned home and lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
"No, I have to make some preparations early. Otherwise, there might really be a problem when the time comes.”
Zhou Tong thought of the great purge in the later stages of the Nine Gates and the joint archeology of the Nine Gates Ba Nai, and had no choice but to make ample preparations in advance.
There were two plans. The first was to go abroad, wash his subordinates clean, and then return. After the Great Revolution, he would return one after another. Of course, Zhou Tong would not leave, and even if there was a great purge, it would not reach him.
The second was to immediately change careers, reducing his target from zero to zero, and then using Zhou Tong's foresight to seek a chance of survival.
Although the world was different, the main plot of development would not change too much, so Zhou Tong's memories of his previous life were still somewhat useful.
However, the second method required a large amount of funds, which he could not provide for the time being. Moreover, his master's wife was weak and sickly.
After Zhou Tong's reminder, he might not be poisoned, but he still needed the Deer Living Grass as a medicinal catalyst to refine medicine for treatment.
All of this required money, so Zhou Tong had prepared two plans to be carried out simultaneously. On the other hand, through the human skin masks he had refined, he would send a portion of his people abroad and secretly accumulate strength.
On the other side, Zhou Tong was preparing for a major operation, and in this operation, he was planning to obtain a large amount of benefits.
Zhou Tong currently had three treasures in his hands, two treasure maps and one tomb lot.
The fact that three of the treasures were recorded in goatskin scrolls meant that the value of the treasures must be extraordinary.
"It seems like I have to refine some storage magic tools. Otherwise, if there are too many people, it will be troublesome if they are discovered.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong no longer had the energy to sleep, and ran to Zhang Bao's door.
"Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao? Get up, I have something to tell you!"
Crackling sounds could be heard from inside the house. The tables and chairs moved, and the basin fell to the ground. Zhang Bao rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
"Second Young Master, is there anything urgent? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's fine. Help me find out where crocodiles, snakes, and lizards are. I have use for them.”
"Oh, Young Master Xiao Er, tomorrow. The brothers are all asleep. I'll help you ask around tomorrow.”
"Alright, alright. The bigger these things are, the better. The more, the better. Remember, don't forget.”
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. When have I ever failed to help you with the things you asked me to do?”
"That's true. It's over. I can't sleep anymore. Let's go get something to eat!”
Zhou Tong was destined to have a sleepless night, and so was Lord Zhang, because at some point in time, a train filled with corpses had entered Sand City's train station.
This also meant that Zhou Tong's plan would be temporarily put on hold.
