It didn't take Jiang Feng much time to receive the Huanglong Sect envoy. After a stick of incense, Jiang Feng had already gone to Fengyu Tower alone. It was not that the leader's inner palace was not warm and comfortable enough, but that Jiang Feng felt that he needed to be quiet.
Zuo Zichan expressed his friendly attitude through the messenger and hoped that the Qianshan Sect would also join the "Jincheng Alliance". He would clearly express his support and would also mobilize Leng Tingtao to support it. Of course, there is an important prerequisite for this, which is that within ten years
During the year, when it comes to matters within the alliance, Jiang Feng must always be consistent with the two of them and stand firmly on their side whenever decisions are made that do not harm the interests of the Qianshan Sect.
One case, one vote.
This is the decision-making system of the Jincheng League. The Jincheng Sect, Lelin Sect, Huanglong Sect, Biyun Sect, and Qingyu Sect have a total of five votes. If the Qianshan Sect also joins the alliance, it will be six votes, which is very likely to be used in decision-making.
If there is a situation of equality, then a veto power is needed, and obviously, this veto power will basically fall on the leader Wan Lao Mo. Therefore, Qing Yu Sect must also agree. Of course, Jiang Feng knows that this is his imagination.
, cannot be taken seriously.
Joining the Jincheng League means that the sect will also be restricted by the covenant. The first thing to bear the brunt is that it may lose the protection of the patriarchal system. For example, once the Jincheng League is involved in a war and becomes the active party, as a member of the alliance, the Asayama Sect will
There must be an obligation to dispatch monks, so they are involved in the war in disguise, and then lose the protection that still has more than forty years. Of course, subject to the restrictions of the alliance, the Asan Mountain Sect will also receive protection from other sects.
There are gains and losses;
The second point is that regarding trade routes and taxation, there must be commercial taxation agreements within the alliance. To join the alliance, you must be consistent. Although each sect has its own concerns and may have the concept of a protection period,
The general trend is bound to be like this, and the tax rate will gradually decrease. The development level of the Asayama Sect is obviously different from the other sects. Once it joins the alliance, in the long run, if there is no appropriate response strategy, it is likely to suffer a lot of losses.
;
The third point, and the most important point, is that the secular and monks, the Qianshan sect lack spiritual land and resources, but fortunately, they have the concept of relocating and relocating, and coupled with the various strategies they have adopted before, they still have a lot of secular and spiritual beliefs.
Monks, and there are signs of steady growth. If they join the alliance, over time, the concept of "alliance" will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the cost of migration will become lower, then monks and lay people will move freely, and the Asayama Sect will most likely be hollowed out. Of course, if there is
If you are confident enough, you can also attract talents in the opposite direction, allowing the Asayama Sect to take this opportunity to make further progress. However, given the conditions of the Asayama Sect, it is difficult to have room to display it.
The first point seems to be the biggest loss at first glance, but the third point is the most important. Without people, there will be no talents, and everything will be in vain. It is difficult to weigh the pros and cons. Compared with this condition, the Yu family’s harsh conditions
The conditions were easier for people to accept. After all, it was just a temporary sacrifice of a corner of the land, and the Qianshan Sect as a whole would not be put in the gambling situation. Therefore, Jiang Feng did not reply rashly to Zuo Zichan's envoy, but asked him to stay in the museum.
Stand by in the post and give him some time to think before making arrangements.
Unable to think clearly, Jiang Feng simply went back to his house to rest, but he saw a group of people carrying boxes of various sizes from the wing of the house and heading straight to the outside of the house. He was confused for a while, but saw his wife Su Jin following behind.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Not only were the servants there, but there were also people from the Curtain Rolling Department helping, so Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't call him an affectionate name.
"I thought the gifts from my father were of little use and would be an eyesore if placed here, so I asked them to sell them to supplement the expenses of the house."
"Why so?"
Jiang Feng whispered, "Isn't it suspected that the expenses are tight?" Even if the clan's expenses were tight, Jiang Feng never had the idea of selling the things in the mansion. In his impression, in order to support him in carrying out the Black Snake Spirit Ceremony, the three major
The family has done this before, but now that I think about it, they were probably just putting on a show for Luo Chuan's common people.
"Draw a clear line!" Su Jin leaned over, but did not appear out of place, "My father is doing this to show others, and it is also a bitter trick. I will not fall into the trap!"
"If you sell it, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?"
"Is it possible that you don't like it?"
"Of course I hope that your heart will be toward me and the Qianshan Sect, but there is no need for this." Jiang Feng whispered, and then directed everyone to move things back to the house, "Jin'er, I know your intentions, but there is no need to do these superficial things."
"Humph, who is so narrow-minded, don't I know it yet?" Su Jin secretly poked Jiang Feng, handed over a gold bead that seemed to be of great value, and whispered, "I'm keeping the valuable thing." She turned around and smiled.
Then he said to everyone, "Master, these things are not for sale. I will reward you later if you have merit."
Everyone was happy, saluted and thanked the head and his wife, quickly put away their things and dispersed. Jiang Feng hugged Su Jin in his arms and suddenly found that she did not seem as tall as before. He lowered his head and saw Yi wearing a pair of clothes.
He looked a little embarrassed because of his flat shoes, and said softly, "Your father has indeed done some things that made me unhappy recently. I am also worried about the Black Water Gate matter, but since you promised before, I will
I believe you."
"That's good." A smile appeared on Su Jin's face, "Then when will you fulfill your promise?"
"It's not that easy." Jiang Feng comforted him softly. He was already troubled by the Black Water Sect matter, and he didn't have time to worry about Su Jin's matter. However, he knew that Baiyao Laoxian was doing something in this area.
Maybe he will find a way, "In January next year, I will visit a certain expert, maybe there will be a way."
After a night of tenderness, most of the worries were gone. Jiang Feng was about to tidy up his appearance and thought about going to discuss the matter with several elders to see if there were other ways to break the situation, when Yu Xiaozheng suddenly came to visit.
"You said that the Yu family gave up helping?" Although Jiang Feng was mentally prepared, he did not expect that the other party would fail so quickly. Moreover, it was such a straightforward offer, and all the previous harsh conditions were not required.
"Yes, our Yu family has decided not to intervene in any disputes between the Qianshan Sect and the Jincheng League. This matter ends here." Yu Xiaozheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't ask me why, I'm just a messenger."
"On the other hand," he continued, "the exploration of Haitang Sanren Mansion with my sister will also have to be postponed. Specifically, it may not be until next spring."
"What's the reason?"
"I don't believe it, but let me tell you the reason." Yu Xiaozheng looked around, found a seat, made tea, and then said calmly, "Because I have to participate in Thousand Illusions, so I have some participation.
The person is weak. Do you believe this reason?"
"Of course I don't believe it. It's not like there haven't been incidents in Thousand Illusions before." Jiang Feng thought for a moment, "Have you found any new clues about Haitang Sanren Mansion?" The "Black Donkey Zhang" opened by the Yu family is engaged in the business of buying and selling intelligence
, it stands to reason that finding some new clues and making new arrangements is not something incomprehensible.
"No. At least not as far as I know. Of course, they like to hide everything from me, and they even pretend to let me practice quietly." When Yu Xiaozheng said this, his face was a little discouraged, "In short, it's not like that.
But in short, you can figure this out on your own, I can’t help you. Although I want to help you, I can’t help you. According to my sister, you still have to practice for another five hundred years.”
"That's fine, thank you very much if you have this intention."
"Actually, I didn't do anything. The fourth uncle didn't see it, and the sixteenth uncle couldn't find it. The seventh uncle could find it, but I didn't dare to go. By the way, is there any way you can quickly improve your cultivation?"
Yu Xiaozheng turned to ask another question, presumably this was the purpose of his trip.
"You can just seek your own death. Your potential can always be unleashed in a crisis. For example, I often go to chat with your seventh uncle."
"Do you want me to use Uncle Qi as a whetstone?" Yu Xiaozheng curled his lips, "Let's forget it. None of you people tell the truth."
After sending away Yu Xiaozheng, who seemed worried but showed no trace of sadness, Jiang Feng thought for a moment. Since the Yu family had no hope, he could only treat the dead horse as a living doctor until it was dark. So, he went out alone.
In the inner palace of the sect, he went straight to "Gulaiju", a magical artifact shop diagonally across the street. He remembered that Yin Du left the sect's inner palace before and never came out after entering this place. He must have been able to find Yin Du quickly here.
The situation is urgent now, and he needs to know the result of Yin Du's communication with the Qing Yu Sect. However, this is only one aspect. After all, Li Dabang has communicated with the trade route. He believes that Wan Lao Mo from the Qing Yu Sect will not cause trouble for him again.
, but one code leads to the other, after all, please ask Yin Du for help first. In addition, he would like to ask, if the Qianshan Sect joins the Jincheng League, what is the attitude of the people behind Yin Du, or to put it more informally, is
Do you support or oppose? If you support joining the alliance, what benefits can you get? If not, what benefits can you get if you cooperate. In short, what benefits can you get?
Jiang Feng believed that the people behind Yin Du were very powerful and should at least be the most powerful among the forces that he could match. As long as he could bring out some benefits, he might be able to achieve a lot in the Qianshan Sect. He once thought to himself that he
Perhaps it was the first sect that surrendered to that mysterious master. As the instigator, it would be unreasonable not to give some benefits to someone who is trying to take advantage of others. For example, could you help me with the Blackwater Sect issue?
?
With this thought, Jiang Feng walked into the "Gulaiju". He did not change his appearance during this visit, but directly used the appearance of the boss. The middle-aged hunchbacked shopkeeper behind the counter only glanced at him and hurriedly ran away respectfully.
come out.
"Master Jiang, you are really a rare guest. You are here to visit me, and my little shop is full of flavour..."
Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to stop his polite compliment, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "Find a manager. He is the one with the most authority in your store."
A tall person." Seeing that the shopkeeper was not a monk, he thought that maybe there was more mystery in this shop. He had already sensed that there were at least two monks in this shop. Although they were only in the realm of Qi training, they should be better than the shopkeeper on the surface.
The status must be high.
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated a little, and was about to say with a smile that he was the one in charge, but Jiang Feng continued, "I don't buy anything, but I have very important things, and I also know the situation of your store.
"He spoke in a cryptic way, but his meaning was very clear.
"Wait a moment." The hunchbacked shopkeeper's face became solemn, and he trotted into the back hall. After a while, a young qi-training monk came out. This man had a handsome face and fair complexion. Looking at his narrow shoulders, he seemed
For example, the human race from the Seven Leagues, because they coexisted with the demon race, the mortal human monks in the Seven Leagues were born with special dietary customs, so broad shoulders and tall bodies are common characteristics.
"Master Jiang, what's wrong with you?" The monk said as usual, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Take a step forward to speak." Jiang Feng took a few steps forward, opened the crimson curtain behind the counter, and entered the back hall first. When the young monk came in, he played the isolation note and whispered, "
I want to see Yin Du."
"Master Jiang, you are looking in the wrong place. We do not have anyone named Yin Du here."
"I have something important."
"Master Jiang, you really made a mistake, please..."
"Do you want me to continue searching?" Jiang Feng pointed to a corner that seemed to lead underground. It was covered with thick wooden boards, but the "Linglong Baoguang" could easily penetrate there until he caught a glimpse of the blue light of several magical weapons.
.
"Please wait outside." The young monk's face suddenly changed, and his cold aura was clearly revealed. Jiang Feng then discovered that this man seemed to be hiding his cultivation. Even the earth-level himself couldn't see through it. Seeing that he at least had some skills.
At the basic level, however, since he had reached the prefecture level and it was his own territory, Jiang Feng did not take him seriously.
After burning the incense, the little Yin Du appeared in front of Jiang Feng.
"Master Jiang, you broke the rules. Although I didn't emphasize the rule of 'I can only come to you' before, you can't just knock on the door if I don't show up." Yin Du was very unhappy, and he was worried by his subordinates.
He called the police and rushed here in a hurry. Although he didn't know what happened to Jiang Feng, this contact point must not be used anymore.
"Please forgive me, the matter is urgent. I would like to know how the matter that I asked you to do is progressing?"
"You don't need to worry about my work, I've already taken care of it for you."
"One more thing, I want to hear your attitude." Jiang Feng talked about joining the "Jincheng Alliance" and mentioned his plans for "Xinyuan County", but he did not say that joining the alliance was a mistake.
Cicada's invitation.
Yin Du was silent for a while.
"Master Jiang, you are very greedy." Yin Du's scorching gaze, reflected from his small eyes, seemed extremely sharp and profound, "I can't convince Su Liqing to hand over the Black Water Gate's former place to you. This violates the laws of the Nine Old Men.
According to the rules, you need to figure this out on your own, but if you want to join the Jincheng Alliance, you can naturally discuss this matter within the alliance, after all, it is an internal matter within the alliance."
Jiang Feng understood what the other party meant in an instant. Only then did he realize that Yin Du was actually a talent in this area. He quickly pointed out the key to the matter. Who did the Black Water Gate belong to? He had Su Liqing's documents in his hand, although he did not
It is a good idea to inform all parties, but it is finally "evidence". Using this evidence as a guide to prove that there is a dispute in the hometown of Blackwater Gate, it is a good idea to discuss and make decisions within the alliance, but the problem is that Zuo Zichan and Leng Tingtao
Will they support themselves, and can they get support from other parties? Six votes, regardless of themselves, must have three votes among the five votes, or even four votes. After weighing the pros and cons, Su Liqing can do it for the alliance.
It is only possible to give in...
"you……"
"I can help you a little, but this time, you need to swear an oath to keep your previous promise."
"There has to be a deadline, right?"
"In your lifetime."
"If it takes so long..."
"You seem to be very confident in the Dao," Yin Du smiled, "In this way, I can fully help you on behalf of my master. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to be like Wan Yuting."
"Wan Yuting has chosen to worship?"
"He occupies such a large territory and is still guarding the South China Sea. Naturally, he cannot delay it for too long. He voted for Song Xianghong. It was Li Dabang who led the way. By the way, do you know him? I heard recently that you asked him to negotiate.
to open trade routes."
You are very well-informed... Jiang Feng thought to himself, "Yes, I met Li Dabang by chance. I met him while exploring the ruins of Venerable Yuanchu."
