"Mr. Jiang, do you know the origin of Chongming Island?"
Su Feng pointed to the river in front of him.
Only then did Jiang Zhonglou realize that the painting boat had arrived at Chongming Island at the mouth of the Ningjiang River.
"I've heard people say that this island is formed by millions of years of sediment accumulation. The soil on it is fertile and the vegetation is lush, making it very suitable for growing medicinal materials." Jiang Chonglou replied.
"Yes, but do you know the significance of this Chongming Island to Jiangcheng?" Su Feng asked again.
"Chongming Island is located at the entrance of Ningjiang River. It can be said to be the bridgehead of Jiangcheng. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times."
"Yes, Chongming Island has been the gateway to Jiangcheng since ancient times and a battleground for military strategists..."
Su Feng sighed: "So, every time in troubled times, there are pirates entrenched on Chongming Island. When they enter, they can go to Jiangcheng to plunder, and when they retreat, they can go out of Ningjiang River and into the sea. Chongming Island can be said to be a paradise for pirates!"
"I've heard people say this before..."
Jiang Zhonglou paused and said, "Does this have anything to do with the secret you want to tell me?"
"Of course it does matter!"
Ye Shen on the side smiled and said: "The big secret we want to tell you is about the pirate treasure on Chongming Island!"
"Pirate's treasure?"
"Yes, according to legend, the pirates on Chongming Island dug an underground treasure house on Chongming Island and hid all the stolen gold and silver treasures in the underground treasure house..."
Su Feng said: "If they are surrounded and suppressed by the official army, the pirates will retreat to the sea to hide in boats. When the official army leaves, they will come back and take out the treasure...
Even if they are dispersed by the army, they can be broken into pieces, quietly sneak into the underground treasure house of Chongming Island, take out the treasures, and make a comeback!"
"That's right, even if there is no chance of a comeback, the descendants of pirates, with these treasures, can still occupy one side and become billionaires!" Ye Shen also smiled.
"Um...this legend is about pirates in which era?"
Jiang Zhonglou asked curiously.
"The pirates of Chongming Island have been of the same origin since ancient times. The pirates of each era can find the treasures left by the pirates of the previous generation and then occupy Chongming Island!" Su Feng said with a smile.
"Isn't this... too bizarre? Pirates can actually have the same bloodline?"
Jiang Zhonglou couldn't help but doubt the words of the two old men of the Su family and the Ye family.
If Su Ye hadn't been a very reliable person, Jiang Zhonglou might have thought that Su Feng and Ye Shen were talking nonsense.
"Mr. Jiang, the reason why the pirates of Chongming Island are all the same is because of that underground treasure!"
Su Feng smiled and said: "According to legend, the first generation of pirates appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They looted and accumulated a large amount of wealth in troubled times, and then built that mysterious underground treasure house...
Later, when the Qin and Han Dynasties were unified, the pirates were collected by the government, but they did not tell others about the underground treasure house. They just passed it on by word of mouth, secretly passing the secret of the treasure on Chongming Island to their descendants...
Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the descendants of the pirates on Chongming Island still remembered the secrets of their ancestors' underground treasures, so they gathered their clansmen and came to Chongming Island. They actually found the underground treasure house and obtained a large amount of it.
of gold and silver treasures...
So, they took the gold and silver treasures left by their ancestors in the treasure house, recruited troops, expanded their power, plundered everywhere, and divided the Insect Island. They became the new generation of Insect Island pirates...
When the Western Jin Dynasty was unified, these pirates were dispersed and they kept their family secrets and lurked among the people...
In this way, in peaceful times, the descendants of pirates relied on the treasures of Chongming Island to become wealthy and wealthy businessmen, living a life of luxury...
But once the world was in chaos, the descendants of the pirates gathered their clansmen, opened the treasure of Chongming Island, continued to be pirates, snatched more gold and silver treasures, and replenished the treasure of Chongming Island...
Therefore, the pirates of Chongming Island are from the same origin, and the secret of the treasure of Chongming Island has been passed down for more than two thousand years!"
"this..."
Jiang Zhonglou was completely confused.
If he hadn't lived in seclusion with his master, he would never have believed what Su Feng said.
What kind of era is this, and there are still pirates? Isn’t that ridiculous?
"Mr. Jiang, aren't you also an expert who possesses magical powers and lives in seclusion? Do you think what we are telling you is a fabricated story?" Ye Shen said with a smile.
"Well...of course I believe what you said, but...how did you know the secret of the pirate treasure on Insect Island?"
Jiang Zhonglou asked curiously.
"Of course it's because we are the descendants of pirates!" Ye Shen laughed.
"What?"
Jiang Zhonglou was immediately shocked.
Although he reluctantly believed about the pirate treasure of Chongming Island, he never expected that the Su family and the Ye family were actually the descendants of the legendary pirates on Chongming Island!
"Not only us, the Ma family and the Bai family are also descendants of the pirates of Chongming Island!"
Su Feng smiled again and said: "In other words, the four major families in Jiangcheng are all descendants of the pirates of Chongming Island!"
"That's right, if it weren't for the treasure of Chongming Island, how could our four families be able to occupy Jiangcheng and become the richest family!" Ye Shen raised his beard proudly.
"Um...you mean...you want to work with me to dig out the treasures of Insect Island?"
Jiang Chonglou whispered and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the boat.
There was not a single servant in this painting boat. Just now, Su Ye personally served everyone tea.
It can be seen that Su Feng and Ye Shen have already done a good job of keeping it secret.
There is probably no one else in the 100-meter radius of this boat...
"Yes, we just want to join forces with Mr. Jiang to find the treasure of Insect Island!"
Ye Shen smiled excitedly and said: "That treasure has been replenished by ancestors for thousands of years. Any item in it will be priceless!"
"Uh... as the descendants of the pirates of Chongming Island, you don't know the location of the Chongming Island's treasure house?" Jiang Zhonglou asked again.
"Yes..."
Su Feng sighed again: "The secret of the treasure on Chongming Island has been passed down for two thousand years, and the information handed down has become very vague...
A hundred years ago, the world was in chaos and the warlords were separatist. Our grandparents once gathered the tribesmen and settled on Chongming Island. After a lot of effort, they found the underground treasure house of Chongming Island and took out the treasure inside...
Although our grandfathers used these treasures to recruit troops and gain some power, they could not stop the warlords from fighting and crushing them. Soon the entire army was destroyed and defeated...
Almost all the people who knew the secret of the treasure of Chongming Island died in that war, and only four young people were left. That is the first generation of our four major families in Jiangcheng, our grandfather...
The four of them had a very low status among pirates and had no idea of the specific location of the treasure on Insect Island or how to open it. When they opened the treasure, they only got a very small amount of it...
But even so, the treasures in their hands are priceless. In the past hundred years, our four families have relied on the things left by our grandfather to occupy Jiangcheng and become the richest!"
"Well...even your ancestors don't know the location of the treasure. How can we find the treasure of Insect Island?"
