Jiang Feng pushed open the door of the room gently, and faced Hua Baiqian. He was wearing ordinary old leather armor today, his hair was tied casually in one place, and he was not wearing the robe of the Bingzhengsi. He must be on regular leave.
Seeing the leader Jiang Feng, his angular eyes trembled involuntarily, his expression changed slightly, he quickly put down the two corn bags he was carrying on his shoulders, knelt down and saluted.
"I've met the leader!"
"Master, I'm guilty, I'm guilty." The old woman didn't recognize Jiang Feng at first, but Hua Baiqian's name immediately changed her face. She staggered over and knelt down, kowtowed one after another, and murmured, "This is
The matter has nothing to do with Hua Baiqian, it's all the old man's fault, I hope the leader won't punish him."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Jiang Feng said calmly, "Who are you from Yuexi Mountain?"
"I am his aunt."
"Where are the others?" According to Jiang Feng's knowledge, although Yue Xishan has very few family members, there is not only one elderly aunt.
"They moved away," the old woman's body trembled a little, "Master, I beg you to spare their lives. It was my inability to persuade Yue Xishan who offended the master. I deserve to die."
"What about you, why are you here?" Jiang Feng looked at Hua Baiqian. There were big beads of sweat on the man's neck, but he did not claim that he was guilty.
"Yue Xishan was kind to the boy when he was alive. He sent me to the Military Struggle Department, so I came to visit Grandma Yue."
"It's good to repay your kindness." Jiang Feng said loudly, "But Yue Xishan is guilty. You have the position of Military Division, so you should be loyal to the sect. You must not do anything that goes against the interests of the sect because of someone's kindness.
thing."
"Yes, the boy has been taught. He will be like the leader and will be loyal to the sect throughout his life." Hua Baiqian lowered his head and saluted again.
"And you," Jiang Feng turned around and looked at the trembling old woman, "Yue Xishan is guilty, but the harm is not to his family. I have not punished his relatives. You can inform them to come back, but I will not punish them.
understand?"
"I understand."
"But the house will still be confiscated as a warning. You can live here for up to five years. The sect will not give you any unfair treatment because of his fault. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I will convey it to you, thank you so much for the great kindness of the master." The old woman bowed again, and her hanging heart finally calmed down. However, she still planned to wait a few days to see the situation, and then notify her relatives who were hiding outside to return home.
Luo Chuan.
…………
In the evening, Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, had just received an extremely important official document. This was a silver grace order jointly issued by Li Zong and the State of Wei. Correspondingly, it was a thick silver token the size of an inkstone.
"Master, this is an order of grace." Knowing that the matter was urgent, he hurried to the master's inner palace and presented the order. However, he saw some sweat on Jiang Feng's head and couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you feeling well?
Feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing. It's just caused by poor luck occasionally. It's nothing serious." Jiang Feng did not mention helping Hua Baiqian awaken. A "Pseudo Earth Fire Spirit Cauldron" alchemy auxiliary residual method was put into the black gold gourd, plus
Recently, I happened to use the spiritual array to appease the spirit of the black snake, so I was very tired. I was just about to take a rest when Wu Quanzhong came in a hurry.
"Is this the order of grace?" Jiang Feng looked at the silver token carefully. Although the official document was clearly written in black and white, he lacked the necessary understanding of the "order of grace" itself.
"I didn't know it at first, so I checked my uncle's records and found out that this thing is issued by the Lifan Academy to major sects. For example, big sects like Li Zong hand over a lot of spiritual stones to Lifan every year.
The Fanyuan, and the Lifanyuan will issue different amounts of silver grace orders and gold grace orders according to the situation. These tokens, together with the official documents, can flow unimpeded throughout the Tianyuan North Continent. The sect to be conveyed must receive it.
."
"Must receive? But not accept?"
"Yes, it's not to force compliance, it's just a notification."
"I see." Jiang Feng leaned on his seat, his tired body relieved, and read the official document carefully. As shown on the token, this official document was written by Lizong and Wei Guo, and the content was mainly related to the Black Water Gate.
Li Zong, the Great Wei State Shang Chengli Fanyuan ordered:
There are demonic shadows causing chaos, and Qiu Baisi, the leader of the Black Water Sect, was unfortunately killed. In order to bring peace to the country, the Xuan-level monk Zhu Tianshi has been temporarily appointed as the leader. All parties involved should not disturb him and treat him with the courtesy of the sect.
This order was passed throughout the entire territory of Lizong, Lizong vassal belonged to Xipingfeng, and Lizong vassal belonged to Changlemen; throughout the entire territory of the Great Wei, the Great Wei vassal belonged to Qingquanmen, the Great Wei vassal belonged to Xingdu Mountain, the Great Wei vassal belonged to Tianqi Sect, and the Jincheng sect,
This is an endorsement for the new head of the Black Water Sect, Jiang Feng secretly thought. Unexpectedly, the Wei State changed its puppet in the end and did not invade the swampland of the Black Water Sect. Although it was not mandatory, the Wei State merged with Li Sect.
Due to the pressure, the above-mentioned related sects, including the vassals of Wei State and Li Zong themselves, are probably not going to act rashly.
Fortunately, a few boundary markers were moved beforehand. I wonder if the other party noticed it.
"How many spiritual stones does an Enwe Ling cost?" Jiang Feng became interested.
"The price of silver should be a fourth-level piece, while that of gold should be a fifth-level piece. The sect that receives the latter is obliged to help inform the surrounding sects, and according to usual practice, it is the same as that of the vassal academy.
If you make a decision and want to object, you must also issue a golden order of grace."
It's easy to use, but it's too expensive. Jiang Feng smacked his tongue and gave up the idea of getting one. If he had that spiritual stone, he might as well give it to the monks in the sect.
"This Master Zhutian, do you know this person?"
"I don't know," Wu Quanzhong said with certainty, "Heishui Sect has very little contact with us, and I have never heard of this person. Leader, do you want to contact us?"
"Well, in a few days, you will receive twenty second-order coins from Da Ku, exchange them for some gifts, and go and have a look. It would be best if we can sign a friendly agreement that 'each of us will guard our borders and not be enemies of each other'."
"This is not a big problem. When Qiu Bai Temple was in power, he might have been stronger than us, but now that a Xuan-level monk is struggling to survive, he will probably be happy to do it. Is twenty second-level coins too much?"
"It doesn't matter, we may have new spirit stones in our account soon." Jiang Feng briefly mentioned the matters of the Changning Chamber of Commerce, and by the way also talked about the matters of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce. The most important thing is Beimu County
As for the details, I haven’t said much about it. There are still many variables in it.
"This is a good thing," Wu Quanzhong became more energetic. The large-scale receipt of spiritual stones mentioned by Jiang Feng made him happy. If this is true, the treasury will be unprecedentedly rich. He must think in advance, and
Where do you need to spend money to make up for your shortcomings?
"But, is Beimu County equivalent to giving it to the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce?" After the enthusiasm faded, Wu Quanzhong raised his concerns.
"I actually want them to help us guard against Luoyingmen and Chixiamen, but we have to guard against being bitten back. Do you have any ideas?"
"The two sects do still have a tendency to move westward, and we really have to guard against it, but let me think about it..."
Wu Quanzhong thought for a while and took out a map to check the location of Beimu County. After a long time, he carefully said, "In the short term, there seems to be no solution. We can only seek to cooperate happily with the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce and not cause too much trouble."
A big conflict; in the long run, we still have to form an alliance with Luoyingmen or Chixiamen, so that we, the alliance party, the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, can cooperate against the same target, and it will be safe until the target is defeated."
"Well, which one do you think is more likely?"
"Luoyingmen."
"Why?"
"Because Luoyingmen is not directly adjacent to us, it does not block the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce's eastward development, and the conflict with them is not big."
"I think so too. You should be prepared. Once I have a way to open up the joints, I will go to Luoyingmen to open a separate hospital and promote cooperation between the two sects."
"yes."
"One more thing?"
"Master, please speak." Wu Quanzhong wiped the sweat from his forehead. Thinking is indeed a task that consumes the soul.
"Do you remember that before Master Ren went to the sea of rocks, he had received several guests from the Vantage Sect?"
"Huadi Sect?" Wu Quanzhong's eyes moved slightly, and he said after a long time, "It seems that there is such a thing. By the way, they went to Fuyuan Town, and you, the leader, also went with the leader Ren."
"Do you still remember those people?" Wu Quanzhong's memories once again confirmed his guess and Yue Xishan's diary.
"Hiss." Wu Quanzhong thought for a while, "By the way, one of them, I remember, has a third eye. I remember that Leader Ren and I were joking and making fun of them in private, and Leader Ren stopped us."
"that's it?"
"There is really nothing else, Head. At that time, I just took over the position of Foreign Affairs Elder. Many things were handled by the Head, which is different from now."
"Understood." Jiang Feng more or less understood Ren Wadao's character from the records and Yue Xishan's diary. He knew that he didn't like to delegate more authority to a few elders. The matter of the Huati Sect's visitors was mysterious from the beginning. Naturally,
Don't let them know too much.
Third eye?
With such unique characteristics, Jiang Feng thought of the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce and the prefecture-level monk Liao Shenchang who he had an inexplicable fight with. Is there some connection between them?
…………
"Master, why are you doing this?"
In the Zheng family's residence, the elder Zheng Luda was very surprised by Jiang Feng's visit, but he quickly prepared a sumptuous dinner. Halfway through the meal, he dismissed all the servants and family members, leaving only two people, drinking and talking.
"This place may be developed by the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce."
"Then it's more important to keep people here. The area around Fuyuan Town is full of mountains, with very little flat land, and ordinary people don't have much livelihood. If they go there to mine, they just hire these ordinary people. Although it's a bit harder, it still won't improve their lives.
The question is. Didn’t the Sixth Division promulgate the ‘safety insurance’ system before? In this way, even if you are unfortunately injured or die more tragically, you will receive a compensation.”
"I'm worried that the soul cage dealer will do some unfair business."
"Illegitimate business? That's..." Zheng Luda drank another drink, his eyes a little blurry, "Our Qianshan Sect girls are only average-looking."
"That's not the case." Jiang Feng never had high hopes for Zheng Luda's ability to quickly understand, but he didn't expect it to be so wrong.
"..."
"Do you believe me?"
"Believe it, of course I believe it. Chief, to be honest," Zheng Luda didn't stop drinking from the beginning, and he kept toasting. Basically, he drank by himself. At this time, he was even more confused, "I, Old Zheng, before
I don’t agree with you, but since the establishment of Guhan Town and that training ground, I, Old Zheng, have expressed my intention to go with you. Let’s go together.” He picked up the wine glass and drank first as a sign of respect.
Now Jiang Feng was a little uneasy. He was worried that he would forget his instructions after drinking too much, so he quickly warned him to go to Fuyuan San Town to recruit a group of miners as soon as possible to reduce the possibility that the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce would take advantage of local customs.
As for the possibility of exploring the mysterious cave, you must know that this is a job with no return. If you really want to explore, you should let them spend more blood, start from the Lisong, or simply start from the slave market.
"Remember to buy some land in Beimu Town."
"Okay, okay, drink. Don't worry. Boss, I'll buy it if you tell me to. No ambiguity."
Jiang Feng could only say goodbye, leaving Zheng Luda behind who was already asleep. However, not long after Jiang Feng left, a young man in Tsing Yi brought a pot of hangover tea, pushed Zheng Luda hard for a while, and drank a lot of hangover tea.
Then he woke him up.
"I...am I drunk too much again?"
"Sir, you drank too much, but I followed your instructions in advance and wrote down everything you said outside."
"Okay, okay, that's right. Drinking will make things worse. Fortunately, I have you." Zheng Luda clapped his hand, and the boy's thin shoulders couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"You," Zheng Luda felt a little uncomfortable, remembering that the other person was an ordinary person and could not bear such a big slap. "Eat more. If you die after being so thin, who can give me advice?"
The evening breeze blows on my face and is slightly cool.
Jiang Feng withdrew his shadow that had been hiding in the dark. Knowing that Zheng Luda had already started to arrange his explanation, he felt relieved. Under the moonlight, he saw the bright lights in Wei Jie's Wei family courtyard from a distance. He planned to rest for a while today.
I'll go there again tomorrow.
I want to talk about "Ten Generations of Leaders" with more like-minded people," talk about life and find confidants~
