How could this be? How could this be?
Standing on top of the cliff, Gui Qinshao stared at Søren's cruel eyes. She felt an unreal pain in her heart.
Taking advantage of her father's absence, she had stolen the commander's seal and her mother's support. As the commander of the navy, her third brother had led the navy to attack Chaotic Rock Island to take revenge on Søren.
Originally, he was determined to get it, and it was easy to get it. Who would have thought that Søren would appear from behind the sea and bring an army of a few thousand?
Then, tragedy struck.
This navy was almost all of the Gui Clan's water power. Now, they had all been wiped out by her. Her father had been so sad when he returned.
Her father had also warned her not to act rashly on Chaotic Rock Island when he was not around. In the end, she had let her anger get the better of her. She had instigated her third brother to bring his army to take revenge. Now, she was in a desperate situation.
"Jump down. I promise I won't catch you. I promise you'll be smashed to pieces," Søren shouted again.
For some reason, his voice sounded especially cruel when it was blown into her ears by the sea breeze.
Gui Qinshao felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She was so beautiful, any man would take pity on her, they would be infatuated with her. Even if she was rude and unreasonable, even if she did something wrong, those men would still forgive her.
But now, Søren's tone was cold, his eyes even colder. There was no pity, only absolute cruelty and determination.
She went to the edge of the cliff. It was about seventy meters high. Falling from this height would indeed be smashed to pieces.
She was truly afraid. Not of death, but of being smashed to pieces.
Moreover, she really couldn't bear to die. She was so beautiful, her youth had just bloomed, and she was so happy.
Well, her happiness had been dampened by Søren. She was no longer so happy. But with the love of her parents and brothers, she was still very happy.
Now, she was about to be destroyed. How could she have reached the end of her life?
She, she really couldn't bear to die.
"Miss, I'll protect you and kill our way out," Uncle Ming said, his voice full of determination.
Then, he brandished his scimitar and rushed down the cliff from the other side. He charged at Søren like a madman, intending to perish together with him.
"Swoosh …" The white-haired eunuch beside Søren gently swung the fly-whisk in his hand.
In an instant, the soft whiskers turned into a deadly weapon. The expert named Uncle Ming fell to the ground like a bloody gourd and died.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Søren had seen a weapon like the horsetail whisk in this world. Unfortunately, there were no Taoist or Buddhist forces in this world.
Seeing Uncle Ming's tragic death, Gui Qinshao cried out in alarm. It wasn't that she cared about this clan's expert, but rather that she was frightened by the way he died.
She had been spoiled since she was young, so it was inevitable that she would be selfish. The only people she cared about were her parents and family, and at most, Ling Ao, who she grew up with. She didn't have any feelings for other people, even if it was Uncle Ming, the family expert who had always protected her.
"Now, the only person by your side is also dead." Søren sneered again and said, "Gui Qinshao, jump down. I promise I won't catch you and let you fall to the ground."
On the other hand, the gentle and kind Suo Ningbing just turned around and didn't look at him. She didn't have the slightest intention of pleading.
Gui Qinshao, who was alone on the cliff, was completely desperate. Looking in the direction of Linhai City, her father Gui Xingfu's doting eyes and face appeared in her mind.
"Dad, I don't want to die. I don't want to die!"
Then, she suddenly gritted her teeth and really jumped down from the cliff that was more than 70 meters high. She didn't use any dragon power.
Just a few seconds later.
"Bang …" Her delicate body fell to the ground, and the dust flew everywhere.
Søren did what he said and didn't reach out to catch her.
…
The battle on the sea had all ended.
The ships of the Gui Family's navy had been burned to a crisp. More than two thousand of the navy had also been shot down.
Not only that, in order to prevent any fish from escaping, the warriors of the Suo Family and the warriors of Duke Linting also went to the Stony Island to hunt and kill.
If it was somewhere else, one or two of these people could still escape. But this was an island, and the beach was full of sand. There were footprints everywhere, and there was no way to hide their tracks.
Therefore, even the fish that escaped the net to swim to the island were all killed.
Since then, the Gui Family's navy was completely annihilated. In a short period of time, they could no longer pose a threat to the Stony Island. As the commander of the navy, Gui Qinzhong became Søren's captive and was locked up in the castle.
When Gui Xingfu returned home and heard the news, he would definitely vomit blood in anger.
…
Sauron once again came before Duke Linting, bowed 90 degrees and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Your Excellency. Otherwise, my Stony Island would have been destroyed."
Duke Linting said, "You and I have the same interests, so you don't have to be so polite."
Then, he sighed softly and said, "But Søren, we are in big trouble this time, and the consequences are serious."
Søren nodded. The army of the vassals and the Duke of the royal family were in a scuffle, and the vassals' army was killed.
Next, this matter would definitely cause a terrible sensation in the whole kingdom. Then, the whole cabinet and the royal family would have to face the baptism of this storm.
Although Duke Linting was favored by the King, he was in the center of the storm, and would probably suffer.
"If it wasn't for the great benefits, I wouldn't have done this, and I wouldn't dare to do it." Duke Linting said, "I'm really worried that I can't withstand this storm with my body."
Søren said, "Definitely."
"I hope so." Duke Linting said, "But this matter must be unified. Just say that I was playing in the East Sea when the Gui Family's navy suddenly attacked me. I couldn't see clearly in the dark and thought they were pirates, so I immediately counterattacked and accidentally killed the Gui Family's navy."
Søren nodded and said, "Yes."
Linting said, "Don't mention the Stony Island, and don't say that the Gui Family's navy attacked your Stony Island. Don't even mention your name. You are weak now, and can't withstand such a storm. "
"Yes." Søren said.
The current Søren was best forgotten by everyone. His only goal was to earn an astronomical amount of gold coins, and then gather a strong army to recapture Tianshui City in three months.
If he was involved in this storm, he would not only face trouble, but disaster.
Duke Linting glanced at Søren and said, "It's so easy to talk to smart people. But you are really ruthless, killing more than two thousand Gui Family's navy without batting an eyelid. "
Søren said embarrassedly, "Well, I didn't kill them mainly."
"You bastard, you are really thick-skinned and black-hearted. I have high hopes for you." Duke Linting said, "Let's go and take a look at our salt pans. Let's see if our miracle is really as heaven-defying as you say. If it is not, then I will be killed by you."
Søren said, "Please follow me."
… …
At this time, it was already dawn.
The battlefield had been completely cleaned up. Duke Linting's main force had not even landed on the Stony Island, but was still in the fleet of ships. Only a few experts followed closely behind Duke Linting.
Søren first took Duke Linting to see the salt pans, and as he looked, he explained.
He explained in front and led the way. Duke Linting kept his hands behind his back and kept nodding.
This scene seemed a little familiar to him. It was as if they had come to a CCAV news program in the 21st century.
At the same time, countless grains, vegetables, fruits, wine and meat were being transported from the ship to the castle by small boats.
Although they could not cheer, the salt people of Stony Island and the Suo Clan's warriors were extremely excited.
There was at least a few hundred thousand catties of grain, enough for them to eat for more than half a year. Moreover, they could eat, not just eat porridge.
With grain in hand, they did not panic. Not to mention there was fish and meat. Who knew how prosperous the Stony Island would be in the future.
All of this was brought by their master, Søren.
At the most dangerous time, he seemed to have descended from the sky with his army and saved everyone on the Stony Island. He also brought an astronomical amount of grain. He, he was really omnipotent.
Whether it was the salt people or the Suo Clan's warriors, they all looked at Søren's figure from afar with passion and respect.
Their master, Søren, was really omnipotent!
… …
Søren's explanation was very detailed, and Linting listened very carefully.
Suddenly, Duke Linting said, "Søren, although I have not seen the results of the so-called salt drying method, you keep saying that this is a revolution in the salt industry. But you keep saying that this is a revolution in the salt industry, and that production and efficiency will increase by more than ten times. Aren't you afraid that I'll learn it and start all over again? "
Søren said, "Of course, and I have no objections if Your Excellency starts anew."
Duke Linting looked at Søren and sighed, "What a f * cking smart person. You know what you want, and what is most important."
He did not make it clear that the relationship between him and Søren was not just a union of benefits.
But everyone knew what he meant, and he could not say it out loud.
The salt pans on the Stony Island were now six to seven thousand mu. Duke Linting walked until he was out of breath before he reached the last row of crystallized ponds.
Despite the fierce battle last night, the salt people still had to collect salt from the crystallized ponds.
After the brine was drained from the vast crystallized ponds, the entire pond was covered with a thick layer of salt. The salt men used wooden shovels to push the salt together, and it immediately piled up into a small mountain.
As far as the eye could see, there were more than a hundred ponds. Every pond was piled with freshly crystallized salt.
In Duke Linting's eyes, this was not salt, but shiny gold coins. He asked excitedly, "This salt adds up to about twenty to thirty thousand jin."
"About eighty thousand jin," Søren said.
"Eighty thousand?" Linting was shocked, "Then, how long will it take?"
"Less than two days," Søren said.
Immediately, Yuan Shiting was completely stunned. This was only the output of less than ten thousand mu of salt pans.
Then, if it was opened up to ten thousand mu, or even a hundred thousand mu. Then … how much salt would there be in a year? A hundred million jin? Or even more.
Compared to boiling salt, drying salt cost almost nothing. If he wanted to, he could completely monopolize the salt industry in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
How much money could he make then?
Duke Linting's eyes turned green. A hundred to two hundred thousand gold coins a year. If he got half of it, he would get a hundred thousand.
The money he could make in two years was enough for him to make for a lifetime.
In the past ten years, he had shamelessly made only about two hundred thousand gold coins, and his reputation was ruined.
Ever since he met Søren, he had really made a fortune. Moreover, each sum was bigger than the previous one. He was truly going to be as wealthy as a nation and be able to compete with the Feng Li sisters in terms of wealth.
Then, Søren took him to the big warehouse.
Suddenly, the mountainous pile of salt rushed into Duke Yanting's eyes.
When millions of kilograms of salt were piled together, they looked like a snow-white mountain. It was truly a visual shock.
"How, how many jin is this?" Duke Linting asked with a trembling voice.
"More than three million jin," Søren said, "and this is the experimental production, just a drop in the ocean."
Duke Linting looked at Søren and said incredulously, "You, you are a genius, a genius among geniuses. You can turn stone into gold. We are going to be rich."
Yes, Søren was going to be rich.
Although the salt in front of him was only worth a few thousand gold coins, it was only three million jin.
However, the salt pans, as well as the future production, caused gold coins to instantly become a number.
…
Søren and Ye Jingyu walked into the dungeon of the small castle. The unconscious Gui Qinshao was lying on the wooden bed in the dungeon.
She jumped down, but Søren did not catch her and let her fall to the ground. However, the eunuch expert beside him quickly used his horsetail whisk to stop Gui Qinshao from having her body smashed into pieces.
Gui Qinshao certainly couldn't die, otherwise, Gui Xingfu would go crazy, and he would definitely fight to the death.
Every man had a reverse scale. Søren's reverse scale was Suo Ningbing, and Gui Xingfu's reverse scale was his wife Turings and daughter Gui Qinshao.
"Now, she is completely unconscious, and all the veins in her body are locked, right?" Søren asked.
"Yes, she has been drugged and is unconscious, but I can feel that she has no strength." Ye Jingyu said, "So, you can take revenge and do whatever you want to her."
Ye Jingyu's voice was a little strange, as if she wanted Søren to do whatever he wanted, but also as if she did not want to.
Looking at Gui Qinshao's gorgeous face and curvy body, Søren's eyes narrowed. This was a woman so beautiful that even the sons of the royal family did not dare to marry.
This woman, what kind of humiliation did she bring to Søren? Now, she was finally in his hands.
"I have never been a kind man," Søren sneered, "You are unlucky to fall into my hands, Gui Qinshao!"
