Chapter 74 Bamboo Slips
At this time, Black Rock City was not the same as before. After the emperor of the Yan Dynasty arranged a strategic city quota, various big businessmen, whether official or private, poured in one after another.
Chen Feng's father, Chen Yan, personally directed the workers to work.
Looking at the bricks that were being built one by one to increase the height of the newly built city wall, Chen Yan had a smile on his face.
How long have you been waiting for this day?
From a small court president, he worked hard to become the city lord of a small town. He has always had a dream in his heart, that is, one day, he can see that his city has changed even more than before, and it has become even better than before.
.
Although he didn't know why, the superiors chose his city as a strategic city. But Chen Yan also knew what he should do.
As the sun gradually set, a man who looked like a businessman walked up to Chen Yan and took out a piece of golden jade.
"Hey, look what good stuff I found. I took people to pick this from the mountain behind your town today. If the amount of jade is large enough, it might bring additional income.
"
Chen Feng had also met this businessman. He was the one who dared to give it a try at the banquet held by the second prince.
The president of Dafu Trading Company, a plainly dressed businessman, Liu Yuxi.
Ever since the second prince issued an order to support the construction of Black Rock City, he immediately rushed here non-stop, because he knew that the second prince must have received some news.
Otherwise, it would be impossible, and he would specifically name a small town. So he came.
Then the moment I met Chen Feng's father, Chen Yan, the two of them were like confidants who hadn't seen each other for many years. They quickly became friends.
Knowing that Chen Yan's dream was to one day manage a city more powerful than Yanmen, the capital of the Yan Dynasty, Liu Yuxi supported it without hesitation.
The property originally owned by Yanmen was also sold under his order, except for some necessary properties.
The headquarters of Dafu Commercial Bank is officially located in this small city that is still developing.
"Ha, if that's the case, then this business will belong to you." Chen Yan laughed.
Both of them have lofty dreams, one wants to build a city far larger than Yanmen, and the other wants to build the largest trading house on the mainland.
Just as the two were about to leave here, Liu Feng, who had been traveling all the way, arrived. Looking at the smile on his face, you knew that the smell of this hometown was still pleasant.
Since he has traveled through time, the earth in his memory should always remain in his memory. Now, here, this city is his home.
"Dad, I'm back!"
A long way away, Chen Feng saw a fat man who had gained a lot of weight. The face of that fat man happened to be his father, Chen Yan.
When Chen Yan heard someone calling his father, he turned around and saw a young man in shabby clothes rushing towards him.
"You are, Chen Feng! Aren't you supposed to take the assessment at Yanmen? Why are you back?" Chen Yan asked curiously.
Chen Feng raised his head and said, "Who is your son? I didn't even pay attention to the assessment. He just passed the test easily. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
Chen Feng took out the Taiyi Sect token from his storage ring.
At that moment, Chen Yan was in a panic, and his originally excited eyes were extinguished in an instant.
While walking on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Feng was still not sure why his father had such a reaction. After all, it seemed that he had no mother after he was born.
Farewell to Liu Yuxi.
Chen Yan called Chen Feng into the study and took out a bamboo slip from a hidden compartment on the bookshelf. There was a small crystal stone on the bamboo slip.
The moment Chen Feng saw the spar, he felt powerful fluctuations from the spar. This was a kind of power constructed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was hard to explain, but it felt extremely mysterious.
"Ding - affected by unknown forces, the operation of this system has been severely hindered and is temporarily frozen. Ongoing tasks will not be settled until they are unfrozen."
This is the information sent by the system to Chen Feng.
At this moment, Chen Feng became curious about the crystal stone on this bamboo slip.
What kind of power can actually affect a system that has always been extremely cold? If you can master this, wouldn't you be able to threaten the system in the future?
Chen Feng couldn't help but think wildly.
"This is what I left behind when I picked you up at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion." Chen Yan took the bamboo slip and touched it gently with his hand, as if he was remembering the past story.
"It was a snowy winter. I was just finishing my meal and preparing to take a walk. I heard a baby crying outside the door. When I passed by, the man in the bamboo hat who sent you here disappeared."
Chen Yan seemed to be recalling one thing after another about Chen Feng's childhood. Then he mentioned the contents on the bamboo slips.
"I have also looked through this bamboo slip. There is only one line left on it, which says that one day the Taiyi Sect will accept a disciple and let you try. If you pass the exam, you will have a destiny that is not yours.
It will cover you.
If you fail the exam, your life will be safe."
Chen Yan put his other hand on the table and hammered it gently. His expression was slightly sad.
It is not easy for a city lord in a high position to show such an expression in front of his son. It means that he is very sad.
"What the hell, I always thought that I had parents. But it turned out that this was arranged by someone else." Chen Feng scratched his head. Although he was a little surprised, it was also reasonable.
After all, every protagonist's life experience is naturally very bizarre.
I never imagined that I would have a system and a background like this.
"Why, don't you feel surprised?" Chen Yan asked.
"Well," Chen Feng finally realized that he was different from them. So he changed his words in a hurry. "Unexpected, unexpected, of course unexpected. I have always treated you like my own father."
This sentence was of course spoken naturally from the heart.
After saying this, Chen Yan's expression became much better. He handed the bamboo slips to Chen Feng.
Then he walked out of the study room.
"Hey, it all depends on you as to how you want to go in the future. Anyway, I'm just a small city lord who has accomplished nothing." Chen Yan sighed and walked away.
In the study, Chen Feng opened the bamboo slips and immediately said "WO".
