Feng Liu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, drink first, drink first, this wine is good, there are not many that have been aged for a hundred years."
While he was talking, he still poured a bowl of wine for Chen Chao, but as soon as he raised the wine bowl, Chen Chao stretched out his palm to cover the wine bowl and looked at the number one casual cultivator in front of him with a smile.
Feng Liu had a look of resentment on his face, "Your Majesty, if you become a high-ranking official, will it be difficult for you to have fun with the people?"
Chen Chao helplessly let go of his palm, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted and drank. Chen Chao no longer took the initiative to mention business matters. He had clearly seen that the leader of the casual cultivators in front of him probably wanted to wait until he felt drunk before he mentioned it.
It’s time to get down to business.
Chen Chao saw through this little idea and didn't say anything about it. .??.
As for who will get drunk first, it's hard to say.
I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting, and the same goes for drinking.
"I heard that the Guardian Envoy met the Demon Emperor in Mobei a few days ago. The co-leader of the demon clan was even given the middle finger by the Guardian Envoy?"
Feng Liu blinked his eyes with a curious look on his face. When he talked about this matter, Xu Fuchen also cast a curious look. He had always been curious about the rumor that was widely circulated in the world and wanted to know about this current person.
Did the famous young man ever act so boldly towards the demon emperor?
Chen Chao smiled and said, "It's true."
Feng Liu was startled when he heard this, then he gave a thumbs up and said in appreciation, "The guardian envoy is indeed brave, he is really a role model for us!"
Hearing this, Xu Fuchen could only curl his lips again.
Damn it, how many more times does this guy have to praise his bad feet before he gives up?
Chen Chao said calmly, "You are not his opponent now, but you may not always have been. Back then, the Demon Emperor was not considered invincible in the world, but he was still defeated by His Majesty."
Feng Liushen agreed, "His majesty is the most powerful emperor in ancient and modern times. As the nephew of your majesty, the guardian envoy is also in the same line."
Chen Chao smiled and said nothing.
Although he knew that the words spoken by Feng Liu in front of him may not necessarily come from his heart, who wouldn't feel comfortable hearing such words?
Feng Liu said softly, "I have been practicing Taoism for many years, and I have climbed to high places, but I have never done anything."
Chen Chao took a sip of wine by himself, "If the world is like a field, the farmers can plant good crops, and the important officials in the temple should think about how to increase the harvest and calculate the weather and solar terms. As for the strong ones, they should be optimistic about it.
In this field, everyone just performs their duties."
Feng Liu asked curiously, "Did the words of the guardian envoy not involve any monks from outside the country?"
Chen Chao laughed and said, "In the past, they were careless passers-by. When they were thirsty or hungry, they would just ask for cucumbers and watermelons in the fields. But no matter who owns the fields, who do those cucumbers and watermelons belong to?"
Feng Liu thought about this sentence for a while and said sincerely, "Your Majesty the Guardian's statement is very interesting."
"In those years, Lord Guardian... No, it should be said that what the imperial court wanted to do was to let passers-by understand that if the wild boars outside were allowed to dig up the things in the fields, no one would be able to eat them.
Already."
Feng Liu looked at the young guardian in front of him with a smile.
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "They have known the truth for a long time, but they didn't listen to what I told them before. What they should do now is, if they don't obey, they will be beaten to death with a stick."
Feng Liu praised, "Your Majesty, this method is simple and direct."
Chen Chao laughed and said, "But by doing this, they are just saying that they are unwilling to accept it. But if you really want them to change their minds, it can't be done in a year or two."
Feng Liu sighed and said, "There are so few people who share the same path. However, in the past years, the casual cultivators have suffered a lot of grievances because they were not loved by their fathers and mothers."
Chen Chaoxiao asked, "So after Feng Daoyou established the first loose cultivator sect in the world, what he asked for was to protect the loose cultivators in the world and no longer suffer grievances?"
Feng Liu nodded and said, "When you stand at a high place, you always have to do something, such as transforming into a towering tree to protect the weeds beside the tree from the wind and rain."
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "It's too small."
Feng Liu asked curiously, "What's so small?"
Chen Chao laughed it off and said
Then he said, "The first sect in Yingzhou can be the first loose cultivator sect in the world established by Feng Daoyou. I wonder if Feng Daoyou can choose a good name?"
Feng Liu was well prepared, laughed loudly, and then glanced at his old friend, his meaning was clear. Did you see that this business was settled over a drink?
Xu Fuchen picked up the wine bowl, used the wine bowl to cover it, and made a secret gesture, which was a thumbs up.
It’s really yours!
Feng Liu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Chao, and said with a smile, "I have thought of a few names, but I haven't been able to decide which one to use in the end. Since the Lord Guardian asked, please tell me
Let the Lord control your eyes."
Chen Chao didn't say anything. He just took the paper and took a look. He wrote several sect names on it with a red pen. Judging from the handwriting, the writing power of this first casual cultivator was as strong as any great calligrapher in the world.
, even if placed in the annals of history, compared with those great calligraphers who have long been famous in the world, they still do not fall behind.
What Chen Chao didn't know was that the number one casual cultivator in front of him, nicknamed Fengliu, was actually one of the best in the world except for his chess, calligraphy and painting skills. However, if you practice on the mountain, who cares if you have these?
Realm comes first, killing power comes second.
Chen Chao stared at the name above and said with a smile, "What do you mean by Frustrated Sect?"
Feng Liu said, "It's taken from the Zhou poet's 'I woke up from a nap, and my eyes were full of frustrated people'." Is it inappropriate for the governor to take it?"
Chen Chao said, "It has a deep meaning, but it's just not pleasing to the eye."
Feng Liu nodded and said, "I think so too, Fu Chen, you didn't get the name well."
Xu Fuchen was silent, but his expression was unnatural. Now it’s me who gave you this damn name? I looked at your name before and said it was unlucky, but you still didn’t listen. You must have said this to the scholar surnamed Zhou.
The taste is not light. Why don't you think the taste is not light when I say that now?
Just when Xu Fuchen felt a headache, the black-clothed monk who had been silent beside him smiled and said, "With such a friend, fellow Taoists must also be a little helpless."
Xu Fuchen did not continue the conversation, but looked at the monk and smiled, and admitted it.
Chen Chao finally chose two names, one was called Chaolu and the other was called Zingke.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I think these two names are good, but it is up to the first sect leader, Daoyou Feng, to decide which one to choose."
Feng Liu did not hesitate. After taking a look at Xu Fuchen, he said, "Then Chao Lu, thank you Lord Guardian for naming the new sect."
Feng Liu is actually very skilled. It seems that he just let Chen Chao control his eyes. But in fact, just for such a thing, he only needs to reveal the news later and let the whole world know that the name of Chao Lu Sect was decided by Chen Chao.
, those who want to cause trouble in the early days of the establishment of Chaolu Sect should carefully consider the weight of this guardian envoy.
"Now that the name of the sect, Fellow Daoist Feng, has been decided, I'm afraid the location has already been decided?"
Chen Chao could see that Feng Liu in front of him was an impeccable master.
Feng Liu chuckled and quickly asked Xu Fuchen to take out the topographic map of Yingzhou and put it on the stone table. There was a place on it that he had marked with a red pen.
"Fengbo and Suining mountains are very close to each other, and there are not many people around. The idea of me and Lao Xu is to establish the sect here. Of course, if the guardian envoy feels it is inappropriate, we can find another place.
."
Feng Liu and the others came to Yingzhou early, but apart from waiting for the Chen Dynasty, they also did a lot of other things. Choosing the location of the sect was not careless. Fortunately, he had capable people under his command who had studied in the lineage of Qi Refiners.
Dharma Gate, I can see that these two mountains have good luck and are a good place.
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Judging from the geographical environment, it is indeed good. It seems that Fellow Daoist Feng has thought everything through, so that I cannot find any faults."
Feng Liu smiled and said, "Since we are sincerely asking the Guardian for help, we must first resolve all the unnecessary troubles."
Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "The name and the hilltop where the sect is located are fine, but these two mountains are the private property of the imperial court."
Feng Liu was startled, "What do you mean, the guardian envoy?"
Chen Chao said, "Let's not talk about those sects that have existed for thousands of years. After all, when some sects were established, Daliang didn't even exist. But now Daliang has been a country for more than two hundred years. Except for the mountains occupied by monks, the rest of the landscape is like this.
They all belong to Daliang, so there should be no problem with this, right?"
Feng Liu nodded, "That's exactly it."
"If Fellow Daoist Feng wants to use the imperial court's hills to establish a sect, then we have to have a serious discussion. There is still room for debate on whether the imperial court will temporarily lease these two mountains to Fellow Daoist Feng, or whether the two hills will be completely allocated to Fellow Daoist Feng."
Chen Chao smiled, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Feng Liu didn't speak in a hurry. After looking at Chen Chao for a few times, he sighed and said, "It turns out that not only does the guardian have an unfathomable drinking capacity, but this city is also unfathomable."
Chen Chao said calmly, "Emperor Taizu Gao once said that although there is a lot of land in Daliang, not an inch is redundant. We, the descendants, cannot afford to be careless."
Feng Liu thought for a while and said, "If it's the former, after the lease period is up, and Daliang wants to take back these two mountains, wouldn't we become lonely ghosts again?"
Feng Liu knew that if this hilltop belonged to Daliang in name, then they would always be passive. If they really broke up with Daliang in the future and Daliang wanted to take back this hilltop, then his so-called No. 1 casual cultivator sect in the world would become a
A real joke.
But if you want to completely take these two mountains away from Daliang, the price you have to pay is definitely not small.
I originally thought that this young guard was young and promising, but he was still a young man after all. There must be many things that he couldn't fully consider. Plus, after drinking some wine, he probably could fish in troubled waters and fight for many things. But now
At first glance, it's not like that at all. The young man in front of me is not only high-level, hard-fisted, but also very scheming. He's not that easy to fool.
"Since it is leased to Daoyou Feng, a time limit will naturally be set. As for whether to continue to renew the lease or take it back after the time limit is up, that will be a matter of time."
Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "But in order to reassure fellow Daoist Feng, how about the lease term is at least one hundred years?"
Feng Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the Guardian Envoy, please tell me what price you will have to pay for releasing these two mountains."
Chen Chao did not speak directly, but asked, "What is the price for the foundation of a sect and the first of its kind in a state?"
The most taboo thing in doing business is to make an offer first. Once you make an offer first, it means that the matter has a scope in your mind and you become passive.
Feng Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly. The guardian envoy in front of him really gave him a lot of surprises. He couldn't look at the young man in front of him simply.
Chen Chao seemed to see Feng Liu's dilemma. He even picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine. He smiled and said, "I'm not very good at doing business. When I first negotiated business with Jian Zong, I actually made some losses in the business."
Feng Liu thought again and again, and finally squeezed out a smile and said, "I sincerely want to open a sect in Yingzhou. The guardian obviously also understands that our new sect can only be built with the blessing of the guardian, but
The guardian envoy must also understand that it is not easy to start from scratch and ask for money and things everywhere."
Chen Chao nodded, "I understand, of course I understand. No one in this world has it easy. Fellow Daoist Feng has difficulty. I understand. But there are many people staring at Yingzhou. Fellow Daoist Feng lost the first move. Others may not be able to do it."
Being able to become the first sect in a state is not only a matter of destined to have a greater reputation, but also from the perspective of ethereal luck. The first sect in a state often gathers luck first, which has a great influence on the sect.
The practice of monks is of great benefit.
Feng Liu remained silent.
Chen Chao stretched out his finger, knocked on the table, and said with a smile, "That Suining Mountain, not to mention the amount of luck, is actually a mine. Doesn't Fellow Daoist Feng know that?"
Feng Liu was startled, then looked surprised, "Is there such a thing?"
Chen Chao didn't bother to point it out, he just squinted at Xu Fuchen on one side and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xu, after the Chaolu Sect was established,
Later, the first deputy sect leader should be Mr. Xu Daoyou, right?"
Xu Fuchen nodded and said sincerely, "I want to do something for the world's casual cultivators. In fact, I don't want to be the leader or deputy leader of the sect. If there are capable people in the future, I will naturally abdicate in favor of others."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Actually, when it comes to protecting casual cultivators, the imperial court can also do this. There can be as many casual cultivators as the gods are so big, they can all be accommodated."
Xu Fuchen looked embarrassed, "They are all idle clouds and wild cranes. They are used to being comfortable. I'm afraid..."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Of course I understand. Is there anything else that Fang Wai says now? The monks who serve the imperial court are called imperial eagle dogs?"
Xu Fuchen looked embarrassed.
Chen Chao picked up the wine bowl and kept drinking.
The monk in black looked at the young man beside him with a smile in his eyes.
Feng Liu gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng can rest assured about one thing, that is, I have no intention of becoming the actual sect leader of the Chaolu Sect."
This sentence was a reassurance given by Chen Chao to Feng Liu.
Feng Liu nodded. This was the thing he was most worried about. The purpose of establishing the Chaolu Sect was to find a shelter for all the casual cultivators in the world, thereby changing the situation of the casual cultivators. But if they had to rely on the mainstay from the beginning,
As long as his breath is alive, it seems to have no meaning whether this sect is established or not.
"How the sect operates and where it will go from now on are the main concerns of the sect, Daoyou Feng, and the main considerations of the deputy sect, Daoyou Xu. As an outsider, I will naturally not interfere."
Chen Chao rubbed his cheeks and exhaled a breath of alcohol, "But now that we have said it all, some things can actually be said clearly. In Yingzhou, there were no sects in the past, and there will be no sects in the future. In the past, there were no sects.
The result of Fang's suppression, but there will be no sect in the future, it is a matter decided by the court. And this matter will not be unreasonable, because the land under our feet belongs to the court and the common people. Feng Daoyou included
These monks have never regarded themselves as the people of Daliang, so to Daliang, you are just guests. You can treat the guests well, but you will not regard them as your own family."
When Chen Chao said this, he paused, turned to look at Xu Fuchen, and said, "No matter what the reason was for Mr. Xu Dao, since he has done something for the people of Daliang, the kindness must be repaid. This is why in the beginning, I
I agree with Fellow Daoist Feng’s intention to establish a sect in Yingzhou. Fellow Daoist Feng needs to be clear about this. If it weren’t for what Daoyou Xu did at the beginning, I would not necessarily have nodded. After all, as Daoyou Feng himself said, he was at a high level, but he didn’t do anything.
Things. This is not good. Fellow Daoist Feng wants to protect the world's casual cultivators. This is good, but it is not good enough. We should have a broader perspective and look at the scene beyond the beam. As the same saying goes, since the world is a field, the court protects it.
With this field, guests coming and going should lend a hand if they want the field to stay."
Feng Liu thought for a while and said, "When that time comes, if we get involved, many people will die."
Chen Chao said, "How many people have died in Daliang in the past two hundred years? How many people have died in the past ten years? If the court is also afraid of dead people, can the Great Wall in the north still be there? The Great Wall is gone, and it will not be easy for Feng Daoyou to have a romantic life."
Bar?"
"I am not asking Daoyou Feng for anything. The imperial court has done a lot for the world and the people. Daoist friends including Feng Daoyou must know how to be grateful."
Having said this, Chen Chao smiled and exhaled, "There is a saying among scholars that repaying evil with kindness, but I am just a human being and can't learn. I only know one thing. If you do good things for others, forget it if you don't feel grateful.
If he still comes up and makes sarcastic remarks, I will give him a knife and ask him how many heads he still has."
"If nothing else, if Daliang is working hard at the front, and there are many people behind who are thinking about how to poke Daliang's backbone, then I can just ignore it and pull the border troops out of the north and go south again, Ma Tafang
Besides, it seems like no one has done this before?”
The few words Chen Chao said were ordinary, but Feng Liu who was listening on the side was frightened. For any other person, he might not believe it, but as soon as the person in front of him opened his mouth, he already believed it.
After all, people are like the bark of trees. Everyone outside the country knows the reputation of Chen Chao, who has done so many things in the past.
