Three hundred and sixtieth chapters release goodwill
The visitor turned out to be Qiu Nanjia, the left envoy of Linglong Chamber of Commerce.
Based on Jiang Feng's understanding, the Chu family and the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce should have little contact. This is different from the Yu family, which has a lot of business in various sects. Qiunan Jian was able to come here for the banquet, presumably because of the relationship with the Shangguan family.
"Hello, friend Qiu Dao!" Although the banquet was already halfway through, there was still an endless stream of passers-by. Therefore, Jiang Feng did not call him "Qiu Zuo Shi", although he had many complaints and even complaints about his previous house arrest.
Although he was jealous, Jiang Feng still said hello pleasantly.
"Thank you for the hospitality." Maintaining the smile on his face, Jiang Feng came closer and whispered.
"You're welcome." They are all sensible people. Even though Qiu Nanjia was very unhappy with Jiang Feng's escape, he could not take action in such a situation. "Headmaster Jiang has good connections here and his escape methods are also superb.
It really impressed me."
"Both each other." Jiang Feng naturally would not reveal his trump card and say that he was completely unfamiliar with Feixiong Jun, let alone reveal the details of his escape. Originally, he was still thinking about how to resolve the dispute between himself and the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce. After all,
Staying in a stalemate there is an extremely unstable factor for one's own safety and the future of the Asayama Sect.
At first glance, it seemed that Qiu Nanjia wanted to put himself under house arrest and lure the elders of the Qianshan Sect into submission with generous terms, but he strongly opposed it because he was worried that the Qianshan Sect would become the opponent's favorite. The contradiction between the two parties was completely irreconcilable, but Jiang Feng
After leaving "Heqiju", I carefully sorted out all the joints and found the key to easing the relationship.
The key to this is Qiu Nanjia.
Although she did not know the details, the agreement reached between the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce and the Jincheng League and other sects obviously had nothing to do with Qiu Nanjia, and seriously shaken her position in the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, she suddenly made a decision.
Determined to take action against the Qianshan Sect in order to regain the situation in the Chamber of Commerce. From this point of view, there is some intention of killing the goose that lays the eggs and picking the green fruits in advance. Moreover, judging from Lu Changyin's participation in this matter, the Huati Sect is probably among them.
, that is to say, this is also the way of doing things recognized by some people in Vantage Sect.
"Let's talk peace." Jiang Feng decided to be straightforward.
"How to negotiate for peace?" Qiu Nanjia turned sideways, pretending to chat casually, so as not to attract other people's special attention. In fact, her exquisite dress and outstanding appearance did attract a lot of attention from Sakon.
, if it weren't for her cold attitude and high cultivation level, a disciple would have come over to chat. Although her posture seemed casual, Jiang Feng from a close distance could catch a glimpse of the solemn look in her eyes.
"The exploration plan remains unchanged, and don't force me to accept those conditions." Jiang Feng felt that this matter was still the key to saving his own crisis for Qiu Nanjia. Although the Right Envoy Li was initially responsible for this matter,
There must be a special reason why she could hold it in her hand.
"This is not enough, and there are too many uncertainties." Qiu Nanjia was obviously not satisfied with such a concession.
"You should know that the key to the safety of the Huatimen trade route lies not with the Qianshan Sect, but with the Jincheng League."
Jiang Feng pointed out the key to what he realized. The reason why the Vatican Sect supports Qiu Nanjia to act so fiercely is because in the agreement reached between the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce and the eastern sects, their supplies need to go through
In the sea of rocks, they can only go to Yufeng Sect, Chixiamen, Jincheng League, and Qingyu Sect. There are too many uncertain factors. Therefore, they want to lay out a reliable support point among the various sects in the south. This
The supporting point is the Asayama Sect.
If everything goes well, at least it can be guaranteed that once there is a change in Chixiamen, Huadimen's trade routes will still be safe. It has to be said that this is a comprehensive consideration. During the second war of the Seven Alliances, Chixiamen
The territory has expanded a lot, and it is said that it has connected with the Qi State, and its right to speak in the territory of the Seven Alliances will also increase. Out of concerns about the future, it is common sense for the Vantage Sect to plan in advance, but it was behind the scenes before.
Now I just go to the front of the stage.
But obviously this is not the most unreliable link in this trade route. According to Jiang Feng's guess, the most unsafe one here is the Jincheng Alliance. Based on Jiang Feng's understanding of Su Liqing, he changed his clan into an alliance. In addition to being forced by the situation,
There must be some hidden ambition.
"Yes, you are right, the Golden City Alliance is the one."
To Jiang Feng's surprise, Qiu Nanjia naturally agreed with Jiang Feng's views and hit the nail on the head, but she said calmly and helplessly, "But we have no way to deal with the Jincheng Alliance. The so-called way can only be done if we can
Only those who are knowledgeable can count, otherwise it’s just an idea. Isn’t it?”
That's right. Jiang Feng, who is often troubled by various solutions, also agrees in his heart. The Jincheng League is not only larger than the Qianshan Sect, but also stronger. It has just reached an agreement with the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce, and it is impossible to rush into it.
He had additional thoughts about the Jincheng Alliance. From this point of view, although Qiu Nanjia was a little eager for success, he still had a bottom line and did not want to destroy the agreements that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce had reached with other sects.
"Moreover, the Jincheng Alliance has a greater ambition." Qiu Nanjia continued, "It is said that Su Liqing is planning a larger Jincheng Alliance, a new alliance covering the Qingyu Sect and the Biyun Sect."
What?
Jiang Feng was suddenly frightened. This information was extremely important. He originally had suspicions and suspicions about Su Liqing, but now it seemed that this was it. Inadvertently, he had retreated to advance and planned a bigger plan in Enron.
circle. If his plan succeeds, wouldn't the Golden City Alliance become an existence equivalent to a medium-sized sect, and have a broad enough hinterland, numerous monks, and a complete seaport?
What a great plan!
This once again refreshed Jiang Feng's understanding of Su Liqing. However, can this plan really come true? Not to mention Biyun Sect and Qingyu Sect, even within the Jincheng League, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan must be different from Su Liqing.
Why did they agree to this plan? Is it just for business routes and profits?
"What do you think the chances of success are?" Jiang Feng didn't make a clear calculation in his mind, so he asked Qiu Nanjia. The other party was well-informed and would probably have another interpretation.
"It's very big. Because it is beneficial to each sect. Moreover, there is still some independence. The plan proposed by Su Liqing is to unify foreign affairs, monks, and spiritual land management as soon as possible, and major matters will be based on one vote per sect.
decision-making, the remaining sects still have autonomy in the deployment and use of materials."
"Remain relatively independent and share the benefits?"
"That's what it means. The Qing Yu Sect has a good spiritual land and port, and the other sects have monks, resources, and trade routes connecting the sects in the north, which are mutually beneficial to each other." Qiu Nanjia explained, her expression was mixed, like this
The changes are theoretically good for the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, but not good for her personally.
It sounds like a pretty perfect plan, but... Jiang Feng seems to think that something is wrong. For example, if the cooperation is happy, it is of course a mutually beneficial and win-win plan. However, given time, there may still be irreversible conflicts between materials and monks.
The final result is that one or more of the sects will be hollowed out. As for who it is, it is unclear. Moreover, one vote per sect, Su Liqing, the initiator of this matter,
What's the benefit?
"I can agree to your monk garrison plan, but the rest must be delayed because I have a better alternative plan." Jiang Feng naturally would not agree to the other party's control of the Qianshan Sect's business routes and store operations, because now he has "new
"Yuan County" plan, and, theoretically speaking, being too closely associated with such a large chamber of commerce would be particularly detrimental to the Asayama Sect's ability to maintain its independence.
"what's the plan?"
"I can't talk about it for now, but you need to give me some time. If this happens, it will be very beneficial to you, especially you." If the trade routes in Xinyuan County are opened, we can go from Yufeng Sect to Qianshan Sect.
Direct access to the Qingyu Sect, for the Huati Sect who wants to lay out on the trade road to ensure safety, is equivalent to bypassing the Chixia Sect and the original Jincheng Sect's hometown, or the Biyun Sect, which is also an additional choice.
Of course, it is still not the same as their direct control of the Asayama Sect, but there are some comparisons.
"How long will it take, and why should I trust you? Without you, perhaps the Qianshan Sect would be easier to control." Qiu Nanjia's eyes were burning, and a golden halo flowed in his eyes, as if he was brewing something.
"As a prefecture-level person, wouldn't it be better for me to be the official leader of the Qianshan Sect? If the Huati Sect looks too ugly, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here even though it is thousands of miles away, right?" In this regard, Jiang Feng was not afraid of the other party's coercion.
Because from the beginning to the end, Jiang Feng was cooperative with the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. He hastily changed an agent, which may be more obedient. However, if the Qianshan Sect's territory becomes chaotic because of this, the Huati Sect will definitely not be able to openly enter here.
You must know that Huadi Gate is far away on the northwest coast of the Stone Sea, nearly two thousand miles away from here.
"We will know within two months at most. During this period, you cannot implement any of your previous plans." Jiang Feng took a step forward again, and even felt the other person's breath close to his face. Qiu Nanjia just wanted to retreat, but saw something in the distance.
Several monks who were chatting and laughing cast a scrutinizing look at the two people who had been chatting for a long time. Only then did they realize that she, dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, seemed to have become the focus of everyone nearby. Her heart was pounding, but she felt that she
Jiang Feng moved his waist, bringing him closer to the opponent, and at the same time, something seemed to be stuffed into his hand.
"I can't use insulation here, I'm sorry." She heard Jiang Feng's whisper and warmth in her ears. She didn't look at the things in her hands, but quickly put them into her storage bag, taking half a step back with a rosy face.
"Jiang Feng, do you dare to take advantage of me?"
"Hush!" Jiang Feng smiled, "You should study this thing carefully, it is closely related to your exploration plan." What he gave Qiu Nanjia was a "soul-melting bead" that he had condensed. If there is no benefit,
Qiu Nanjia will definitely not rashly agree to Jiang Feng's delaying plan. The goodwill he released before is useless. This "soul-melting bead" is related to the true spirit saint, which is just for Qiu Nanjia to ponder and attract her attention.
force.
"On the other hand, I would like to kindly remind you that some people in the Vantage Sect may be more concerned about this matter. You must be careful in your actions, otherwise, your life may be in danger."
"Lu Zhongxian?" Qiu Nanjia's eyes turned slightly and she reported a name.
"Take care of yourself." Jiang Feng couldn't say much. After all, he didn't know the stakes and previous relationships. He only knew that Lu Zhongxian had a similar identity to his own, and was probably related to his own life experience and the ninth generation head.
Ren Wudao's trip to the Stone Sea was closely related, and as for the secret, he still couldn't figure out the truth.
"I'll give you a month at most. If you can't give me an explanation, I will go to Luochuan to find you in person." Qiu Nanjia thought for a moment and gave
He made his decision, "Before this, I promise not to take any action, but as for preventing other risks, it is your own business. I don't have many people now and I don't have time to pay attention to your safety."
"It's natural."
Jiang Feng also doesn't want the other party to pay too much attention to his whereabouts. After all, he has many secrets and he doesn't want them to be exposed. In terms of safety, after being promoted to the prefecture level, he has inexplicably gained a lot more confidence. But with this erysipelas, there is nothing he can do about it now.
It can be solved, but it is a bit troublesome. Thinking about the Ge Ping introduced by Chu Yiming, he ran to participate in the "Lingyong Feast" first. I don't know if there are other practical ways. With these unpleasant things in the cooperation with the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce,
, he is even less likely to turn to Qiu Nanjia for help, including on the issue of Xinyuan County, and he does not want the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce to participate. It will be difficult to get rid of it at the end of the day.
However, the information on the "Dajin City Alliance" provided by Qiu Nanjia was the top priority. Once the alliance was formed, it would be even more difficult for him to get the Black Water Gate's hometown from Su Liqing. Thinking of this, he was looking forward to the Yu family's success.
The answer is.
He was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures. They were Han Li and Xiao Mingshan, who were both talented and well-connected during the dinner. The other party also caught a glimpse of Qiu Nanjia and Jiang Feng, who were standing together and slightly closer.
, Han Li looked indifferent, nodded slightly, and the two disappeared at the end of the porch, which was the only way to the outside of the house.
Why did they leave so early?
Jiang Feng felt very strange in his heart. Logically speaking, if he wanted to take this opportunity to accumulate connections, it would be wise to stay here as long as possible. If Xiao Mingzhen had not made an appointment with him, Jiang Feng would have put down his identity and deliberately made friends with everyone here. After all, he had no connections.
It’s too much, but now, it seems that the appointed time is not far away.
Watching Qiu Nanjia leave, Jiang Feng walked around the courtyard a few times to make sure no one paid too much attention to him. He took advantage of the opportunity to escape, changed into a robe, and walked out of the house along the porch.
There were not many people outside the mansion, so Jiang Feng got into the carriage he had booked in advance and waited calmly for Xiao Mingzhen's arrival.
"Ruoxi, don't go." As soon as he got on the carriage and sat down, he heard the voice of a young man outside. Jiang Feng didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he heard the word "Ruoxi", he suddenly became alarmed.
Could it be Bai Ruoxi's little girl? He couldn't help but lift the car curtain a slight gap, only to see a man and a woman entangled outside the house. It was Bai Ruoxi, but Jiang Feng didn't recognize the man, but looking at his gorgeous clothes, he should
He is a descendant of a large family.
"Don't pester me, I'm going back."
"Why are you in such a hurry? My uncle Jiu and the others will be here soon. They have long wanted to see you."
"What's there to see? Don't you and I have an engagement? Let's see it later!" Bai Ruoxi shook off the man's hand and refused impatiently, "I'm not feeling well today. I have to leave."
"My Ninth Uncle and the others are working at Red Dragon Gate. It's not easy to come back..."
"That's their business." Bai Ruoxi didn't care, "Just find an excuse to send them away. Can't you do this little thing? How can you marry me?"
"I……"
"What am I? Why don't you hurry back and accompany your round-faced cousin? Look at what you looked like just now."
"Ruoxi, you misunderstood. We grew up together, so we are familiar with each other, so there are not so many taboos between us."
"You want to talk about childhood sweethearts with me, right?"
"Ruoxi..."
"Go back quickly! I will give you a chance to meet her today. You are not allowed to mention her in front of me in the future."
"Ruoxi, please don't be angry..."
"Huh, I'm not happy anymore, not at all!" Bai Ruoxi put her hands on her hips, "hurry up and disappear in front of me. I'll count by dozens, one, two, three..."
"Okay, okay, Ruoxi, I listen to you, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now." The man in rich clothes finally gave in, taking three steps at a time to escape, but he was still unwilling to give in.
I was so concerned that I couldn't help but look back several times, but in the end I didn't dare to stay.
"Humph! You are such a courageous person!" Bai Ruoxi kicked her weak legs and was about to have a fit when she saw two acquaintances coming out of the door. She quickly calmed down and stepped forward to salute, looking like a lady.
This little girl is really capable!
It seemed that the person just now was his fiancé, the person from the head family that Chu Yiming mentioned. It was true that one thing brought another thing down, so what about the head family? The one being treated was as obedient and docile as a deer. Jiang Feng smiled in his heart.
Laughing, closing the car curtain, I secretly wondered if Xiao Mingzhen had encountered some trouble, why he hadn't shown up at the appointed time. Even though he had made an appointment with a trustworthy coachman issued by the other party, there was no sign of showing up.
While he was squinting his eyes to concentrate, he suddenly noticed a figure walking towards this side, but it didn't have the same aura as Xiao Mingzhen. As he was wondering, a white jade hand suddenly opened the car curtain.
"Huh? So it's you, the perverted thief, who's watching from the sidelines!"
Bai Ruoxi's pretty face appeared in front of Jiang Feng, her eyes widened, "You voyeuristic thief, what are your evil intentions for lying in ambush here?"
What bad intentions could I have? I'm just waiting for someone here. Jiang Feng was about to explain, but he noticed that the other person's expression suddenly became dull, his almond-shaped eyes widened, and he plunged into the car.
