Chapter 1 Surrounded by undercurrents

Neptune Realm.

Donghai Kingdom, Yinlang City.

"Oh, there are newly baked wife cakes. Come and buy them if you have a wife or not."

"Rouge, buy rouge, rouge that makes people taste sweet."

The heat wave is blowing, and the merchants on the street are selling hard, fanning themselves and making interesting jokes.

A group of guards surrounded a sedan chair, which was slowly carried by four bearers.

Sitting in the sedan chair was a young man with black hair, brown eyes, and a handsome face. He was none other than Rhodes who had just finished classes at the academy.

He was holding a miscellaneous book in his hand and reading it carefully.

Rhodes died of cancer in his previous life, and it has been ten years since he traveled to this world.

What followed was a Zerg nest that was so dilapidated that it was almost unusable.

Because a young boy with the same name fell into the sea and died on a cliff, he was accidentally swallowed by Rhodes and poured into his own consciousness, so that he could live again.

At the age of seventeen, he has become a contemporary Hanhaihou.

But when I became the Marquis of Hanhai, I did not live a luxurious and luxurious life as I imagined.

On the contrary, the family was extremely poor and the clansmen fought frequently.

The outside world is also being targeted by unknown forces.

The sedan moved forward slowly, with shadows of people swaying all around.

Many of the people monitoring Rhodes were following the sedan chair through the busy city without any concealment.

Insects are extremely active in summer, happily chirping in front of and behind the house.

A pair of insect eyes is also monitoring some people hiding in the dark.

These monitors are so annoying!

Although Rhodes had many means, he allowed these people to die in accidents.

But some things cannot be exposed.

In the absence of strong deterrence, one death comes one after another, and the spring breeze blows again and again.

After silently killing a group of people, I found that there were only a lot more people coming.

Rhodes also switched to surveillance as his main method.

They are staring at the Luo family's flaws.

Rhodes was also watching their behavior.

When exposed to tricks, the Luo family will often come out on top.

The Luo family has gone from poverty to wealth now, all thanks to Rhodes' own efforts!

After all, Xiaotou is not a fool.

Unfortunately, the nest is extremely dilapidated.

I followed myself into this world, but I didn’t even have a complete template.

The brood gene bank was completely lost, and there was a big hole in the storage room.

Rhodes had to start from scratch and iterate on genes and templates.

If someone else gets the Brood, they can bulldoze a planet in half a year.

And Rhodes was able to make the Broken Nest barely usable, which was really infuriating.

After traveling for a short time, Rhodes' sedan arrived at the door of a big house.

The guard opened the curtain and said softly: "Master Hou, we've arrived."

After hearing this, Rhodes closed the book in his hand and walked out of the sedan.

He stood in front of the sedan with his hands slightly open, and immediately an old lady came to help Rhodes straighten some of his wrinkled clothes.

After the old woman stepped away, Rhodes shook his sleeves, stepped over the high threshold, walked around the screen wall and walked towards the hall.

The plaque of the Three Generations and Five Generals at the entrance of the hall looks particularly bright compared to the entire room.

The people who were monitoring Rhodes looked at several prestigious plaques at the entrance of Hanhaihou Mansion.

Not only was he not afraid, but he looked eager to try.

Rhodes walked through the hall with his hands behind his back, passed through an archway guarded by two strong men, and entered the garden in the inner courtyard.

From time to time, servants appeared in Rhode's field of vision, weeding or trimming flowers.

His movements were numb, but his head was always lowered.

They didn't salute as Rhodes passed by them, and Rhodes walked straight through as if he didn't feel them.

Rhodes returned to his room, picked up a book and flipped through it slowly.

After reading for a while, heat waves came from the window one after another, and Rhodes gradually began to feel hot inside.

Looking up out of the window, the sun is still high.

The hot summer is approaching, and it seems that Yinlang City, located on the seaside, will usher in another period of extremely hot weather.

Rhodes looked at a stack of ledgers beside the table.

The Luo family's ice appraisal business is probably going to skyrocket, so they need to increase their sales in advance.

At this time, Rhodes suddenly spread his hands, and a flying ant with wings as thick as a thumb flew in from the window and landed accurately in Rhodes' hands.

The flying ant flapped its wings, emitting a stream of pheromones, and Rhodes immediately obtained the information transmitted by the flying ant.

My uncle in this body has arrived.

Back then, when Rhodes was only 3 years old, his father Luo Shang had already begun to command a navy of 50,000 men.

But after fighting and winning all his life, he was thrown into a trap by a typhoon.

Fifty thousand regular troops wiped out 20,000 ragtag pirates, and the dramatic collapse made the court extremely angry.

Fortunately, the Luo family has dedicated more than two hundred years to the East China Sea, and there are many colleagues in the court.

So with the cooperation of his uncle, only the Luo family was dismissed from their posts, the farm and shop were confiscated, but the ancestral home remained.

Originally, relying solely on the foundation of the General's Mansion, the remaining money in the Mansion could at least sustain him and his brother until death.

But the mistress Fang Yuanyuan is a strange existence that Rhodes did not expect.

After her father's death, Fang Yuanyuan, who was originally lively by nature, suddenly made people understand that liveliness and willfulness are sometimes separated by a wall.

She was willful and extravagant, and without the "young" Rhodes' knowledge, hundreds of thousands of taels of spare money, countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings were spent in just a few years.

Later, he even borrowed money to purchase various things in the name of the General's Mansion.

If it hadn't been for the fact that one day, Rhodes overheard a servant complaining about defaulting on dues, this general's mansion would have been gone long ago.

As for his uncle Fang Chengyun, who was a captive general, he was particularly kind to his two nephews.

From time to time, various delicious food and drinks are delivered.

Cherish something that you will never lack.

The two brothers of the Luo family are "young" and their mistress is not responsible. No matter what trouble the Luo family encounters, Fang Chengyun always comes out to solve it immediately.

From the very beginning, he helped Rhodes, who was still unfamiliar with this world, and cut off many hands that reached out secretly.

Unfortunately, because he came to Luo's house so frequently, it was impossible for Rhodes to let Fang Yuanyuan die of illness early.

Otherwise, there would be no need to spend money to recruit servants from outside the courtyard.

While keeping it confidential, you can also save money.

Rhodes came to the lobby, where a handsome middle-aged man was sitting at the top chatting with Fang Yuanyuan.

This handsome man is Rod's uncle Fang Chengyun.

Fang Yuanyuan was looking at a gift list with a ceremonial smile from a wealthy family.

The servants were still carrying other things in, bypassing the hall and sending them directly to the warehouse.

"Uncle, what kind of wind brought you here?" Rhodes asked.

Rhodes walked towards the main seat, and the maid on the side immediately helped Fang Yuanyuan up and gave up the main seat.

Rhodes sat down and Fang Yuanyuan was quickly taken away by the maid.

Fang Chengyun was used to this. What he and his eldest nephew wanted to talk about were serious matters, and his stupid sister had no right to listen.

The gift list was taken away by Fang Yuanyuan, and the only thing she could take away was the gift list.

Fang Chengyun touched his chest, took out an appointment letter from it, and handed it to Rhodes, which was very warm.

"You have become an official and will take office next month."

The new book has set sail, and I hope the big guys will vote for it.
