Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth when employing people
It was an unexpected discovery that He Yu was not from Chumen Town. In my impression, before the martial arts competition, the status of the monks submitted by each county and town clearly stated that He Yu was from Chumen Town. This was definitely
There is an inside story.
Asking the secular steward here should be the best way, but after asking the old man, I found out that the previous steward had passed away due to illness years ago, and the current secular steward is his nephew, who is not very old.
, presumably not clear about what happened at the beginning.
However, the issue of family background is not considered a serious fraud. Maybe it was just a casual thing at the beginning. Tianyuan Beiliu sects do not strictly prohibit population movement. Only families with a large number of people and a large amount of property will do so when their families move.
Being subject to some restrictions, Jiang Feng planned to settle the matter here and ask He Yu directly about the matter when he had some free time.
Origin is not important, Jiang Feng can accept it as long as he is loyal to the sect, is from the Chixia Sect, or is from the human race. As the Asayama Sect is in the midst of hiring people, there is no point in worrying about these details.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, the three of them left Chumen Town and settled in an abandoned ancient temple outside the town. They rested for two days. When it was nearly evening on the third day, they saw two streaks of light crossing the sky, one of which
The aura of one person was undoubtedly that of Lei Youqi. The two felt the aura released by Jiang Feng, so they fell down and entered the ancient temple.
"Xiao Bai, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Feng had made an appointment with Lei Youqi not to reveal his identity as the leader, so Lei Youqi just told his friends Jiang Feng's past name "Jiang Xiaobai", "This is my friend Fan Xihai."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Jiang Feng gestured with clasped fists. This prefectural-level monk named Fan Xihai was short in stature. He had thick, curly brown hair, a red complexion, and his robes were slightly old and slovenly. The most obvious thing about him was his body.
There is a strong smell of elixir that lingers even if you stand ten steps away.
"Are you Jiang Xiaobai?" Fan Xihai also used his triangular eyes to look at Jiang Feng, who was at the Xuan level. "Originally, I don't like fighting, but since you are Brother Lei's friend, I can help you. But first, I don't like fighting.
It was agreed that half of the spiritual stone must be paid first, and I also have a condition."
"Fellow Taoist, please tell me!" It is necessary to agree on the conditions in advance. Jiang Feng does not want to have disputes in the middle. This is a taboo in cooperation. However, Fan Xihai's attitude makes him slightly unhappy.
"I want to explore that ancient tomb with you and get half of the proceeds."
"this……"
Jiang Feng hesitated a little, and couldn't help but look at Lei Youqi. He didn't expect that he had told Fan Xihai about this, but he saw Lei Youqi blinking, with a slightly worried look on his face, "Xihai, didn't we agree before, the three of us
Is it divided equally?"
"I suddenly remembered that I didn't calculate the furnace pill that came to assist the fist, which led to the loss. Moreover, your friend's cultivation level is also too poor. I originally thought he was a perfect Xuan level. This time to assist the fist, he would probably have to fight for his life.
OK."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll discuss it with Xiaobai."
Lei Youqi's face turned slightly red, and he pulled Jiang Feng over, and the two of them walked a little further, "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be so concerned about the spirit stone, but since we are in urgent need of help now, why don't I give him some help too?"
Some, and you will suffer less losses. Also, I was originally going to come in a motorcade from the Chamber of Commerce, but Xihai felt that the Asana Sect was just a small sect and did not need to remember so many rules, so I came with his sword. Please forgive me.
.”
"That's okay."
Jiang Feng waved his hand, knowing what he meant. According to the cultivation levels of Lei Youqi and Fan Xihai, although the latter seemed to be close to the middle of the prefecture level, he should not have reached it yet and could not be considered a high-level monk. According to the conventions of various sects, he would not be considered a high-level monk.
With permission, he could not directly fly with his sword in his sect's realm, but Jiang Feng didn't care about this detail. For the Qianshan Sect, which had no prefecture-level monks, Fan Xihai must have been the only one who trampled on this rule.
"If he is willing to help, it doesn't matter if I give him some. Let's take half. It's unknown how many things are available in the tombs."
After the two discussed, Lei Youqi came to communicate and quickly reached a verbal agreement. Jiang Feng first paid Fan Sihai for ten third-level coins. He only had six third-level coins left on hand, reaching a record low. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
. Eliminate distracting thoughts, secretly thinking that returning after all the money is gone is the price that has to be paid for the sake of wealth and life. Planning in advance how to enter the hometown of Black Water Gate is the right way.
"These two juniors are also going?" Fan Xihai noticed that there were two spiritual monks beside him.
"My apprentice."
"Will it hold you back?"
"No. With them here, we can find the entrance to the tomb faster."
"You don't know about tombs?" Fan Xihai seemed to suddenly realize something, "What should I do if the tomb is not found or the tomb is empty?"
"There is no problem in finding the tomb." Jiang Feng explained calmly, saying that Fan Xihai paid too much attention to the tomb. "Brother Lei and I have both entered the tomb. There should be some treasures left behind, but the remaining
How much is unknown, and how much profit can be made depends only on luck."
"That's it..." Fan Xihai sighed. The situation seemed to be slightly different from what he thought, so he became a little anxious. "If the profit afterwards is less than five level three coins, you... um, my name is Jiang Xiao
Bai, right? Xiaobai, you have to compensate me for the loss of five third-level coins."
Um!
Lei Youqi listened on the sidelines, losing face. He couldn't help clearing his throat deliberately, "Xihai, we are all brothers. You are a bit too much. Whether you can make a fortune depends on your luck. Moreover, this trip
The most important thing is to deal with the Jincheng Sect monk
, the treasures in the tomb are just incidental. As soon as we enter the hometown of Black Water Gate, we may be targeted by the other party. You and I should think about how to hide our cultivation. You said before that you have a way."
"The matter of hiding your cultivation will be taken care of by me. But for now, you need to pay me a sum of spirit stones." Fan Xihai didn't feel there was anything wrong. The topic was changed, so he stopped worrying about it.
, took out two thumb-sized vermilion elixirs, "When we enter the old place of Black Water Gate, you and I will take this 'Leaning Turtle Breath Pill', and within nine hours, we will be able to hide our cultivation and pretend to be Xuan-level
The monk in the middle. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the opponent taking too many precautions in advance."
So that's the case. No wonder Lei Youqi told Fan Xihai about the ancient tomb, and Jiang Feng finally understood. Lei Youqi thought very carefully, otherwise with his and Lei Youqi's abilities, once the other party detects that there are prefecture-level monks.
If they exist, they will definitely find ways to gather more power. When the time comes, the situation will become even more anxious.
"By the way, besides me, how many fellow Taoists did you ask for help?"
A flash of light flashed in Fan Xihai's triangular eyes, and he continued, "There is one more thing I want to say in advance. I am here to help, but not to die. If the opponent has more or the same number of earth-level monks as us,
, just find a way to escape."
this……
"If there are two opponents, we can still fight for it." Lei Youqi is not as timid as Fan Sihai, "When the time comes, I will hold them back..."
"That's wrong."
Fan Xihai interrupted him, "Although I have never been to the Jincheng Sect, I heard that their monks are all shrewd and have to guard against their backup, so safety comes first. Xiaobai, tell me, how many do you have?"
A helper?"
"Two."
"Xuan level is not good, even if it is perfect, it is useless."
"They are all at the prefecture level. You can rest assured about this. I have already made an appointment with them about the location. When the time comes, we will leave the ancient tomb and fly south. When we reach the border of Wei State, they will help."
"Is your friend trustworthy?" Fan Xihai seemed to have no scruples when speaking. He turned to ask Lei Youqi. He didn't quite believe that the Xuan-level casual cultivator in front of him could hire two prefectural-level helpers. Maybe he was just bluffing.
of.
"We have a life-long friendship, Xihai, don't worry."
Lei Youqi's face turned even redder. Although he firmly believed that Fan Xihai was not an untrustworthy person, which was also the bottom line for him to make friends, he did not expect that he would be so fussy about details and spirit stones, and even have unreasonable suspicions. This was not only for Jiang Feng.
Disrespect is also a great harm to yourself.
Perhaps, this is the last cooperation with him, Lei Youqi thought to himself.
The three of them decided on a route and waited until nightfall. Fan Xihai didn't like to stop at the ancient temple and made an excuse saying that the temple was made of clay and conflicted with what he believed in. Lei Youqi and him re-entered Chumen Town and found their own places.
Rest and wait until midnight to set off together.
Jiang Feng stayed in the ancient temple, leaning on the ruins of the ruins. He was thinking about his actions tonight, and suddenly he felt something. He saw a purple light flying sword coming straight from the sky. When it fell, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
.
"Jiang Feng, it turns out you are hiding here to relax."
The visitor was none other than Feng Jiming. Unlike those who had seen flying with bone wings in the past, this time he came with a flying sword and brought Jiang Hai with him. Even Jiang Feng knew that it was he who arrived in Luochuan first and said that he had arrived in Luochuan first.
Important things come to him. Jiang Hai had followed his orders before and only brought him to Trumen Town when he judged the matter to be urgent.
"Huh?" Before Jiang Feng could answer, Feng Jiming seemed to feel something. He looked in the direction of Chumen Town, where there were two groups whose cultivation was not inferior to his own.
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Feng signaled Jiang Hai to find his two apprentices. No matter what happened to Feng Jiming, he would not take Jiang Hai with him on his return trip. He also didn't want Feng Jiming to know about the arrangements for him to go south to Heishuimen's hometown, so he didn't want Feng Jiming to know the arrangements for him to go south to his hometown of Heishuimen.
Although the discovery was obvious, I deliberately did not say anything about it.
"Ha, if I'm not wrong, you must be planning something." Feng Jiming smiled like "I've seen through it", "Why, Master Jiang also likes to play these conspiracies. In this position, it is indeed
You can't help yourself." He seemed to be feeling emotional, "Let me tell you straight, there is something you need to do, but don't say it has anything to do with me or anything to do with Yufeng Sect."
"speak."
"Someone wants to assassinate Tushan. You should know Tushan, right? It is said that I have some friendship with you. I don't even believe it when I tell you, but that's what the intelligence says."
Friendship?Information?
This information is indeed not accurate. Tushan and I have indeed met many times, and there are some records of helping each other. It cannot be said to be profound, but it is not that bad. Maybe subtle is more appropriate, but it is not that bad.
Mysterious, yes, it should be described more accurately with the words "many intersections". Many words came to Jiang Feng's mind, but he soon realized that he had mistaken the key point, so he turned to ask, "Who wants to attack him?"
?”
"Lingcong Chamber of Commerce and Tianlimen."
Huh? Why is this combination? Tianlimen can understand it. In the last battle of the Seven Alliances, Tianlimen successfully invaded the territory of the Seventh Alliance. Later, they took back a lot of it in the battle of Tushan. If they want to invade more territory of the Seventh Alliance,
The Luoying Gate is indeed blocking their way. But the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce is also involved. What's going on?
Didn't the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce just come up with the idea of a "Beimu Special Zone" together with itself, Leng Tingtao, and Tu Shan? This would be of great benefit to all parties involved in the transaction. How could they suddenly change it on a whim?
Want to kill Tu Shan?
"Is the information accurate?"
"Of course it's accurate, but the time to take action is uncertain. So you'd better inform Tushan as soon as possible. If these two forces join forces,
Taken together, Tushan will definitely die, which is not a good thing for your Qianshan Sect."
If this thing really happens, perhaps the "Beimu Alliance" reached in advance will break up.
Feng Jiming's information made Jiang Feng unable to help but fall into deep thought. Once Tushan fell, although the Luoying Sect would not collapse like the Black Water Sect, its strength would be greatly reduced, and it would even be annexed by the Tianli Sect. Of course,
, Chixiamen may also take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie and become stronger. Tianlimen is fine. Even if it annexes the entire Luoyingmen, it will only be far away from the Qianshan Sect and will not have a border, but Chixiamen
The door is getting bigger and bigger, which is not a good thing. Mobile version::
No, it would not be a good thing for Chixiamen if Tianlimen moves south, and they don't want to be surrounded by powerful neighbors.
"Where did this news come from?"
"I don't know." Feng Jiming spread his hands, "I want to know too, but espionage-related matters are not under my control."
have no idea……?
Jiang Feng stared at Feng Jiming for a while and found nothing unusual. This person might lie, but there was a high probability that he wouldn't. The Yufeng Sect was newly established. He believed that the other party would not detect such a thing so quickly.
Confidential, maybe this news was learned from other channels, or maybe it was told deliberately. Considering how this matter has stirred up the situation of the Seven Alliances, this news is likely to come from a certain sect within the Seven Alliances.
Among them, the Chixia Sect or the Jincheng Sect are the most suspected.
Chixiamen has this motive. Although they know that they are secretly preparing for a new war, judging from what all parties have told Jiang Feng so far, the war will not break out until next year. Chixiamen is definitely not fully prepared at this time.
From this point of view, they have the motivation to spread the information after they learn it, so as to ensure that they have enough time to respond. If Tushan learns about it and takes precautions, he might even get into trouble with the Tianli Sect.
With Tushan's reputation as a "madman", he would probably cause considerable losses to Tianlimen.
As for the Jincheng Sect, Jiang Feng only vaguely felt that they might have reached some form of cooperation with the Yufeng Sect, just like the temporary intelligence alliance between himself and the Ruijin Sect. Although all the Yufeng Sect's belongings were channeled through the Qianshan Sect
Sales, but the Jincheng Sect is also one of the sects that must pass through the subsequent trade routes. If the Jincheng Sect also participates in the alliance that blocks the Yufeng Sect's trade route, then the Yufeng Sect's situation will go from bad to worse. Therefore, there is a potential basis for cooperation between the two parties.
, at least, the Yufeng Sect will take the initiative to contact the Jincheng Sect to avoid further blockage of their own trade routes.
As for the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, it is easy to think too much. This must be the idea of the right envoy Li Longjian. In his interactions with Liao Shenchang, Jiang Feng also heard a little bit about the discord between the left and right envoys of the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce. Presumably the two have a different relationship with each other.
There are also different opinions on the development strategy of Linglong Chamber of Commerce. This matter should be told to Zuo Shi Qiu Nanjia first, maybe she is still kept in the dark.
After thinking about these joints, Jiang Feng felt a lot calmer. Whether he told Tu Shan about this matter would actually cause little harm to him, but if he had time, it would be better to tell him. Losing an ally would not be a good thing for the current Qianshan Sect.
It's a good thing. Moreover, it's also a favor. With Tushan's "immediate return" temperament, he should be able to get some benefits.
But for now, it’s better to deal with your own affairs first.
"When do you plan to leave?" Feng Jiming seemed surprised by Jiang Feng's cold attitude.
"Is it urgent?"
"I thought you would be in a hurry, but it seems that I misunderstood the relationship between you and Luo Yingmen." Feng Jiming curled his lips and said with a gloating smile, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. I got the news and delayed it for a long time on purpose.
Set off."
"..."
Since this was not timely information, Jiang Feng couldn't help but beat his drum in his heart. If you delayed it for so long, wouldn't Tu Shan have been killed?
…………
Luoyingmen, Taoyuan City, Lingyun Pavilion.
Tushan dismissed all his men, feeling exhausted physically and mentally. The plan he made three months ago had been delayed for a long time due to various reasons. This was not only due to insufficient investment in spiritual stones, but also due to the lack of human resources.
reason.
Powerless to succeed!
Although the sect generally seems to be harmonious, the number of monks who can take on responsibilities is still too small. As a human sect in the northern part of the Seven Alliance, it wants to recruit talents. Since it is adjacent to the more powerful sect Tianli Sect,
I can't say it's too difficult, but it's not easy either.
Competent people are also more picky.
He has understood this truth for many years, but he also knows that this matter requires hard work and cannot be rushed. However, since he learned that the Chixia Sect secretly practiced the monks' battle formations and was not discovered by the intelligence personnel in time, he investigated some details in detail.
It is true that there are not a few people among my subordinates who have found corpses without food, but it is unrealistic to kill them all. On the eve of the war, it is the time to recruit people. It is not a good idea to plunge the Luoying Sect into turmoil because of your own impulse.
Throughout his life, he thought that he was so powerful that no monk of the same level who controlled the sect dared to confront him head-on. However, no matter how strong a person was, he could not help the sect solve all difficulties. As he served as the leader for longer,
, he understood this truth more and more, thinking that when his uncle left and was unwilling to take over the position of leader, he must have been troubled by this.
Leave Lingyun Pavilion and return to the head's inner palace.
The thick stone door of the secret room opened and closed, and the Soul Fire Palace lanterns lit up one after another. Tushan's restless and complicated mood gradually calmed down. Only through cultivation can he transcend all things in the world. Once immersed in it,
There is no trace of dust in my heart.
He immediately took out a gleaming treasure from his storage bag, which was exactly the one he had bought at a great expense during his trip to Snow Island. His spiritual power bloomed in his hands, and he held the magic treasure in one place, as if he was afraid of it.
