Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas
Chapter 1081 - 905: Bringing Money
For ordinary business, it's okay to delay a bit. Shi Chun was quite enjoying the feeling at the moment, especially after being so praised by the Golden-haired Rat Clan, realizing that the name he just came up with was really growing on him, savoring it endlessly.
However, among those present, Wu Jinliang knew how to deal with him, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "If they continue to flatter you, you'll have to inscribe something."
As soon as these words were out, Shi Chun was jolted with shock, instantly snapped out of the reverie brought on by the flattery, knowing he couldn't inscribe anything, he immediately waved his hand sternly and said, "Let's go!"
And just like this, he broke away and headed straight for the hall of the Golden-haired Rat Clan.
Jiang Wushou and others entered the hall first to search it before exiting. Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang had matters to attend to, so idle people were asked to leave.
After some pleasantries, even the clan leader Jinfu didn't stay, only Huang Yingying was left to accompany them.
Outside the hall, Jiang Wushou and others stood guard while Bai Qiru puffed on his dry tobacco, watching as Huang Yingying closed the hall door.
As soon as the main hall door closed, Huang Yingying directly led the two to the back hall, lifted a floorboard, and took them using the Earth Escape Technique to several dozen yards deep when they encountered a Xubo, which blocked their descent.
Huang Yingying fished out a controlling Magic Artifact, opened the Array Gate, and the three of them jumped into an upside-down bowl-shaped underground space.
This array was the same as the entrance and exit array on Yanfu Continent, bought by Young Master Nan at a great cost, naturally paid for by Shi Chun.
To verify the isolating effect, Shi Chun had Huang Yingying take him outside the array, while Wu Jinliang burned the Death Refusing Incense inside.
After proving that the scent could indeed not be smelled outside the array, the two quickly returned inside once more.
Wu Jinliang, glancing around the space inside the array, suddenly said, "Chun Tian, since this array can shrink so small, I don't see why you should leave it here. Why don't you just take it back to your official residence, save the trouble of going back and forth."
Shi Chun shook his head, "It must be buried deep underground, otherwise the fragrance when entering and exiting the Array Gate would leak out. I can't use Earth Escape Technique, and forcibly using spells to enter would make too much noise. After using it, the fragrance locked in the array must also be slowly and gradually released by someone."
Hearing this, Wu Jinliang couldn't help but nod slightly, indeed it would be more convenient to leave it here. In addition, this place is adjacent to the Dingnan Prefecture Commander Mansion, so if any incident occurs, the people at Chun Tian's official residence can rush over immediately for assistance.
Huang Yingying chimed in, "The matter of slowly and gradually releasing the fragrance can be arranged by the clan leader if I'm not around. But I think there's no need to keep the large array activated when it's not in use, it could save quite a bit of Gathering Spirit Stone."
Shi Chun said, "You all can arrange that as you see fit, come on, let's make a trip to the Netherworld."
The three immediately got to work, quickly opening the Two Realms Channel, and one after another, the three of them darted into the Netherworld.
Since returning from Yanfu Continent, they hadn't visited the Netherworld, the Netherworld snacks Wu Jinliang used to fool Yu Xuanbing were old stock bought by Shi Chun when he was overseeing the Netherworld stone shop.
After the Two Realms Channel dispersed, Shi Chun took out a Compass, cast a spell to check, locked onto a bright spot, and immediately took the two flying towards it.
Even though they headed straight for their destination, it still took more than a two-hour period to find a familiar big stone that Shi Chun recognized.
The stone was moved aside, unearthing a box, and upon opening it, there were indeed those fifty or so Qiankun Bags. A quick check revealed that all the Sandalwood Gold inside the bags was still there, putting Shi Chun's mind at ease. This time they really struck it big; the three exchanged smiles.
They dared not laugh out loud, but their grins were quite broad.
After their joy subsided, they closed the box, leaving the Positioning Magical Artifact hidden in one of the Qiankun Bags with the Sandalwood Gold pile untouched, quickly leaving to find Chu Jingtang and Lao Changtai to explain some matters.
Then it was time to stash the money everywhere.
There was no other way, there was too much money, such an amount absolutely couldn't be kept in one place, it had to be hidden dispersedly, and not all in the Netherworld, it had to be stored scattered within the Heavenly Court and Four Great Royal Courts realms.
When hiding the money, they didn't take Huang Yingying along.
By the time Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang returned to the Heavenly Domain Dingnan Prefecture, it was already several days later.
Huang Yingying, who returned before them, was called again by Shi Chun to set off, as who would prove she could fight, and Shi Chun was worried that assassins might appear at any moment to assassinate him.
Naturally, Jiang Wushou led the guards along as well, and Wu Jinliang, the Dingbei Prefecture Commander, didn't return to his own territory but followed along.
Since successfully bringing back a large sum of money from Yanfu Continent, securing the Dingnan Prefecture territory, they no longer worried about the loyalty of Mingshan Sect's people. The daily affairs of Dingbei Prefecture were entrusted to An Wuzhi, just like Dingnan Prefecture was entrusted to Feng Chi.
In the Domain Lord Central Hall, another teacup shattered, thrown by Manxi with a gloomy face.
The people below were cursing him behind his back again. This wasn't just a few individuals secretly insulting him, the vast majority of his subordinates were cursing him behind his back, which couldn't be harshly punished as they couldn't all be blamed.
The reason they cursed him was simple. After Shi Chun and the others returned from Yanfu Continent, they distributed money to a billion people, and when the news reached here, his men were really stirred up.
It was no wonder they were stirred up.
After all, both sides were working the same jobs. Dingnan Prefecture had been paying full salaries for years, while here they only received a third of it monthly, and this month only received a third again. It was tolerable when the brothers over there were getting their full pay for years, but now they even gave a billion newcomers full rewards. This commitment being fulfilled was as shocking as a cataclysmic event.
The people here collectively cursed Manxi's mother out of shock, and after comparing both sides, living like this felt unbearable.
