The next morning.

As soon as Zhang Chu opened his eyes, he saw Zhiqiu sitting by the window in pajamas, holding his head in one hand and staring blankly at the rising sun on the horizon.

He stretched and asked vaguely: "Why did you wake up so early?"

Zhiqiu turned back to look at him, and asked in a melancholy voice: "Master, do you think I should go and see Dr. Xu?"

Zhang Chu woke up a little, sat up and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"no……"

Zhiqiu shook his head, finally lowered his head and looked at his flat belly, and said quietly: "Why is my belly so unsatisfactory?"

Zhang Chu burst out laughing. It turned out that Hua Gu was pregnant and had stimulated this little woman.

He stood up, opened his arms sleepily to embrace him, and whispered softly: "What are you afraid of? We are still young."

Zhiqiu twisted her body so that his head could rest more comfortably on her shoulder: "But Sister-in-law Hua has only been with Brother Zheng for more than four months, and she already has..."

Zhang Chu was stunned.

Huh?

That’s the truth!

He and Zhiqiu had never used any contraceptive measures.

He prides himself on being a capable person.

Then we've been together for seven or eight months, so why isn't Zhiqiu pregnant?

Even if a woman's ovulation period only lasts for two or three days every month, he won't miss it every month, right?

Is it possible...

When I fried myself in a wok, did something go wrong?

Zhang Chu couldn't help but touched his bald head and said in a low voice: "What about that? Why don't I go see Dr. Xu too?"

"You are not allowed to say that!"

Zhiqiu covered his mouth angrily, "There must be something wrong with me."

Women in this era always blame themselves when they cannot give birth to children, feeling that their belly is not living up to expectations.

But Zhang Chu at least has the soul of a modern person. Of course he knows that having a child is a matter for the couple, and problems on either side will lead to infertility... Even the man's problems often outnumber the woman's.

"It's okay, let's go and take a look!"

Zhang Chu smiled and said: "Just treat it as a physical examination."

Zhiqiu only thought that he was trying to comfort herself, and the look in his eyes was so intense that she almost melted.

The breath is slightly calmer...

Just when the young couple was about to have sex while it was hot, the door rang.

"Chu'er, Zhiqiu, have you gotten up?"

It's Zhang's voice.

"Mom, get up."

Zhang Chu stood up, straightened Zhiqiu's messy clothes, and responded while walking over to open the door.

He opened the door and saw his wife standing outside the door holding a large bowl of pungent, steaming brown medicinal soup.

"Mom, what is this?"

Zhang Chu looked at the large bowl of medicinal soup doubtfully and asked.

"It's none of your business, just stay here!"

Mr. Zhang, who has been ill for a long time, is rarely full of energy today.

"Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu, come quickly and drink it while it's hot! This is the recipe my mother went to get from Dr. Li in Nancheng. They say that if you drink ten of them, you'll have two in three years!"

"Hey, mother is here!"

Zhiqiu greeted him with a smile, and took the large bowl of medicinal soup as if he had found a treasure. After blowing on it gently, he poured it into his stomach with big mouthfuls.

For a skinny little person, the bowl is bigger than her face.

Zhang Chu's face turned dark with distress, but he didn't dare to say a word as he watched his mother watching Zhiqiu take medicine.

It turned out that Zhiqiu was not the only one who was stimulated.

…

Time slipped away little by little in the strange smell of herbs floating in Zhang's residence.

The sixth day of the lunar month.

Zhang Chu received a report from the Blood Shadow Guards, and Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng successfully joined the Qingxia Sect with 400 taels of silver as their apprenticeship ceremony, starting their journey in the world.

Zhang Chu and Mule took Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng as examples. After several discussions, they decided to formally establish a standing talent mechanism. They would select school-age children from among the children adopted in Zhang's Mansion, train them as blood shadow guards, and send them to Wuding County at the appropriate time. , and even small and medium-sized Jianghu sects in Xuanbei Prefecture practice martial arts.

The term of martial arts training is determined by the contribution to the Blood Shadow Guard during the period of martial arts training.

In short, if Zhang Chu feels that he still needs to take root in his sect, he can stay in his sect for two more years.

If during the period of martial arts training, you have not made much contribution to the Blood Shadow Guards, and you have not made much progress in your own martial arts practice... then you should kill a few people as soon as possible and go back to the Four Alliance Gang to learn how to kill people!

The approximate term is as short as two years and as long as eight years.

In two years, I am the kind of person who is particularly unmotivated.

For eight years, he is the kind of person who is particularly motivated.

Normally, it's between four and five years.

Calculated according to their grades, they were fourteen years old and entered various sects to learn martial arts when they were fifteen. Four or five years would be enough for them to enter the ranks. When they returned to the Four Alliance Gang, they happened to be around twenty years old and were at their most energetic. , the most energetic age.

This huge plan is based on huge expenses.

Apprenticeship requires an apprenticeship ceremony, and there are also a lot of expenses in the process of learning martial arts, all of which are paid for by Silian.

Take Shen Bai and Zhang Lingfeng as examples.

The two of them paid two hundred taels each as apprentices.

Every subsequent month, the Silian Gang will also give them twenty taels for daily expenses.

Twenty taels more?

If it were these ordinary people in Wutong, it would of course be an astronomical sum of money that they would not be able to sell even if they were sold.

But for those who practice martial arts, there are really not many. It can only ensure that they have meat to eat every day, and at the same time, they can also sell some tonics every now and then.

Twenty taels for one person, forty taels for two people.

In Zhang Chu and Mule's plan, one hundred people would be sent out in the first five years.

For one hundred people, if the average apprenticeship ceremony is 200 taels, then it is 20,000 taels.

In the future, two thousand taels will be given to them every month for daily expenses.

Five years is 120,000 taels of silver!

This is the real poverty of culture and wealth of military affairs!

That is to say, the Silian Gang opened up districts and counties to support such a huge plan.

The Silian Gang, which used to only have territory in the west of the city, would not be able to afford this expense.

After paying such a high price, Zhang Chu was not worried about raising a pack of white-eyed wolves.

In other words, it is certain that white-eyed wolves will appear. After all, the forest is so big that there will be all kinds of birds.

Five years later, if Zhang Chu is unwilling to return to the Four Alliance Gang, he will not force him to do so. He just needs to pay off what he owes the Four Alliance Gang... Of course, this must be done in accordance with the rules of Zhuque Hall. Calculated based on the interest rate on usury money.

If he dares to turn his back on him just because he has learned some martial arts, Zhang Chu has a way to let him know how many eyes Lord Ma has.

If you don't say anything else, let's just say that they entered into the identities of various sects and all the false identities provided by the Four Alliance Gang. If he dares not to admit it, as long as the Four Alliance Gang reveals his old background, he will be guaranteed to have endless troubles. Let's go... No sect will tolerate spies among its disciples.

Zhang Chu selected small and medium-sized Jianghu sects as the targets of the Four Alliance Gang's march into Jianghu, in order to prevent the white-eyed wolf from backlash.

What are small and medium-sized sects?

What Zhang Chu defines is a Jianghu sect without a third-grade Qihai Dahao in charge.

If the Four League Gang is given another five years, which small and medium-sized Jianghu sect is still qualified to compete with the Four League Gang?

Zhang Chu hopes to use this plan to allow the Silian Gang to break out of the confines of Jintian Mansion.
