Without spending too much time, Jiang Feng arrived at Zhanchuan Town, the northern edge of the hometown of Heishui Gate.
Because Zheng Keyi had been sent to Longxiang City in the southwest of Lizong to look for the family members of his brother Lei Youqi on his behalf, Jiang Feng did not stay longer in Zhanchuan Town and plunged directly into the Poison Spring Swamp.
, although this place is the territory of the Jincheng Sect, he thinks to himself that unless Su Liqing comes to stop him personally, or sends several Xuan-level monks to besiege him, he will not be able to keep him. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the "Hua Zong" of the Jincheng Sect.
One of the benefits of being an alliance is that after the power is diluted, the threat to the Qianshan Sect from the Jincheng Sect, which is completely controlled by Su Liqing, is greatly reduced. Of course, if Su Liqing takes control of the Jincheng League in disguise one day, the external environment of the Qianshan Sect will instead be
will worsen further.
At the Dao Discussion Conference, Jiang Feng once counted the current Xuan-level monks of the Qianshan Sect. Regardless of whether they are truly naturalized, the number of Xuan-level monks serving in the Qianshan Sect has reached 20. Compared with the territory and resources of the Qianshan Sect,
It can be considered a large number, but compared to the power that Su Liqing completely controls, there is no comparison. On the one hand, his own cultivation level is far lower than that of Su Liqing. On the other hand, among these twenty people, who can really
Only a few people participated in the fierce battle.
It is still necessary to keep a low profile and lean over to watch. There are more water surfaces and muddy puddles in the swamp than before. Combining the previous intelligence, I am more certain that this is Su Liqing deliberately destroying the environment of the Poison Spring Swamp and making it unbearable.
If it can be used, or even if it can be used, it will cost a lot of money. This strategy is indeed difficult for people. It will definitely make the Changning Chamber of Commerce hesitate to continue to invest more. If this trend cannot be stopped as soon as possible, Jiang Feng is even worried about this swamp.
As a result, a large lake has accumulated in the lake, and the plan to open a southbound trade route will most likely be discontinued here.
I hope that this alliance meeting can resolve the matter. With this vision, Jiang Feng mobilized his spiritual power with all his strength and flew southward like a shuttle. The alliance meeting agreed that he must rush to Zhuqiao first on the seventh day of October.
City, met with Wan Lao Mo to confirm their support for his idea. Li Dabang and Yin Ying should be ready to take the lead. Even if it doesn't happen naturally, they should still be inseparable. There are some additional conditions on the left and right. He believes
, Qing Yuzong, who did not suffer in this matter, would not make it too difficult for himself. Perhaps, the distance between the two parties from reaching a private agreement was just a reasonable price.
While his thoughts were racing, Jiang Feng had crossed over the southern mountain range and entered the territory of the Qing Yu Sect. Pressing down on his head, Jiang Feng flew for several miles until he reached the official road, found a corner carriage from the Chamber of Commerce, and headed straight for Zhuqiao City.
…………
Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
The sunshine at noon was still quite warm. Although it was already late autumn and winter, and the first snowfall was approaching, there were still many people passing by in the market. At the corner of "Jingxia Street", several clumsy carriages came.
The carriage stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated courtyard. A young man in coarse cloth got out first. After observing for a moment, several people above him got off the carriage one after another. Without stopping for a long time, they all rushed in together.
courtyard.
"Master, this is the old street of Luochuan."
"Is it safe?"
"Young master, please rest assured, but you have a certain level of cultivation and cannot show your face too much."
"Then how can we find an opportunity?" The young monk known as the Young Master was quite dissatisfied, but he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Is it because the price has not been negotiated?"
"We are still negotiating. They are asking too much for a new identity. In theory, a new identity is not worth that many spiritual stones. Although I said I was just traveling, they didn't believe me, for fear of getting into trouble."
"Does Luochuan have so many informants from Jiang Feng?"
"It is said that there is. Just like our Jincheng faction, there are informants from the Mirror Division everywhere. It is not easy to make a living here. You only need a little money to hire some idlers. It is even more enviable to have a public official position."
The young monk snorted and pondered for a moment, "I understand, go ahead and do it. Although we don't need those few spiritual stones, bargaining can also hide our purpose. When we settle down, you can go find some."
The loyal old man has moved here, and I heard that Jiang Feng has been promoted to the prefectural level. He must be difficult to deal with, but my father's revenge must be avenged."
"Yes, we will always remember the kindness of the master of the family." The young man responded, and then heard the sound of carriages and horses outside, so he jogged a few steps and listened at the gate for a moment before returning with peace of mind, "Young Master
, you stay here for a few days, and I will inquire about everything. Even if someone comes to visit, please do not reveal our identity, and do not even mention our surname Sun."
"I know, you don't have to be nagging."
"That's good, that's good."
The boy lowered his head to salute and trotted to direct the cleaning of the courtyard. At this moment, the sky was blue and the courtyard was cold and neat. He took a deep breath of cold air and couldn't help but look up. Several crows and birds were hung with fire from there.
The tops of the red-fruited Mopan persimmon trees flew by, and he suddenly felt as if he was in a cold dry well, unable to see any future.
In fact, it is indeed a good place. If you can calm down and spend your whole life here...
However, the Sun family has always treated him well, and now that he is involved in the entanglement of the murder of his father, my life, Li Xianyu, will probably be ruined here. Fortunately, all the family members have been killed by him.
The Qing Yu clan, who was settled in the south, had nothing to do with the troubles here.
…………
The trade road that runs through the north and south of Yuzong of the Qing Dynasty.
The corner carriage traveled hundreds of miles, changing horses twice. When it was getting late, Jiang Feng was not far from Zhuqiao City. He got off the carriage and found out that the place was called "Baisha City" and was planning to find an inn to stay.
Next, I rested for a night, thinking that I would arrive at Zhuqiao City tomorrow morning and hand over the documents for my visit.
However, the coachman attracted a monk in red robes and long beard. Judging from his cultivation, he should be at the initial stage of foundation building.
"I've met Master Jiang!"
"Do you recognize me?" Jiang Feng was stunned, secretly thinking that he had never given his name during his journey.
The man just smiled and did not tell the reason why he recognized Jiang Feng, "Elder Chen is waiting for you at the Qilong Inn in front."
Elder Chen...could it be Chen Kun?
Jiang Feng's heart was moved, and he immediately sensed an unusual aura not far away, about the level of the Golden Core... He was promoted to the Golden Core? But this is normal. His qualifications are not good, so he was promoted to the prefectural level.
What's more, he has better luck and has Wanlaomo taking care of him all the way? I think back when Chen Kun was making his fortune in Jibai City, Jiang Feng had seen him in the dark and knew that the other person had the same qualifications as himself.
Now, unexpectedly, I have also reached this state.
With a lot of emotions in his heart, Jiang Feng followed the guidance of the red-robed monk, and entered Qilong Inn, went up to the second floor, and soon saw the real owner, who was undoubtedly Chen Kun.
"Headmaster Jiang, you are safe and well!"
"Come and be safe!"
Jiang Feng returned the courtesy as a monk of his generation and didn't say much. He didn't know what Chen Kun's intention was in coming to see him in advance. However, his expression was as usual, neither happy nor sad. It must have been official business. Although the two met early in the morning,
There have been some moderate frictions, and there have been some tacit and boring cooperations, but generally speaking, they have kept their integrity, and there is no big grudge, but there is no friendship either.
"To be honest, the reason why I came here early is because I want to know how determined Mr. Jiang is about opening trade routes and joining the alliance. Li Dabang and Yin Du both seem to be extraordinary lobbyists.
, we, the Qing Yu Sect, have to give them some mercy and act according to their ideas, but Master Jiang can't just sit back and enjoy the results without any expression, right?"
Is this a blatant demand for bribes?
The other party said it so straightforwardly, which saved Jiang Feng a lot of guessing, but was this blatant request for benefits for himself or for the sect? Jiang Feng, who lacked substantial understanding of the Qing Yu Sect and Chen Kun himself, was confused for a moment.
It's a bit obscure.
"Elder Chen should understand that the opening of trade routes is also a good thing for the Qing Yu Sect. When the Qing Yu Sect was first established, the sect must not have enough money in terms of expenses. With one more trade route, the commercial tax revenue will also increase."
"That is a matter of mutual benefit. Of course I understand that for the Qing Yu Sect, this matter is the icing on the cake, but for the Qianshan Sect, it is very important. I heard that Su Liqing has banned trade with the Guizong. In time,
It will definitely affect the relationship between your sect and the northern sects, and Master Jiang must know this better than me."
"Indeed." Jiang Feng forced a smile. What Chen Kun said was the truth and he couldn't argue with it. "This is also the reason why I am here today. For the sake of trade routes and to help each other in the future, the Qianshan Sect decided to join Jincheng.
Let’s make an alliance and let each other know what we have. Let’s consider the two things together, and Elder Chen can come up with conditions.”
"Okay, Master Jiang, please speak quickly. I heard that you issued a Silver Enforcement Order to appeal to all sects to seek admission to the 'Lingyong Feast', and you have obtained the entry certificate. I wonder if Master Jiang can share
This is one of the first. The second is that the Qing Yu Sect currently lacks development funds. I hope to get help from your sect. Ten fourth-level coins will be paid off in three years."
This is impossible... The former can still be considered, but the latter, ten fourth-level coins, neither the Qianshan Sect nor myself can afford such a huge sum of money. This price is obviously unreasonable.
"The Asayama Sect is not well-off either."
"A silver grace order is only a fourth-level one." Chen Kun slowly raised his index finger, shook it, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, don't bully me for not knowing the market."
That order was from Li Da Bang... Jiang Feng thought to himself, but he couldn't reveal the secret because it was something the two of them had agreed to keep secret.
"The order of Bai Yin En is true, but it basically emptied the savings of the Qianshan Sect and myself. I also made this decision based on the idea of befriending the sects of the Seven Alliances far and near. The entrance of the 'Lingyong Feast'
Apart from my personal use of the certificates, Qianshan Sect only got five certificates, so I can give you three Xuan-level certificates, how about it? As for the spirit stones, there are indeed none."
"That's too little." Chen Kun said, "Although the hometown of Blackwater Sect is a quagmire, it shouldn't be worth only three participation vouchers. Leader Jiang should know this, right?"
"Su Liqing will not give in so easily."
"This is inevitable, but if you can't get more than three votes, or you have no chance to enter the Jincheng League at all, it must not be what Master Jiang wants, right?"
This has to be done forcefully... Jiang Feng thought to himself, Chen Kun, you are a little too greedy. Of course, looking at this condition, it should be for the sect, not for yourself. Without the support of the Qing Yu Sect, he may indeed run away in vain.
One trip, but ten fourth-level coins are extremely difficult to accept. "It's better than this. I plan to build a new city at the junction of the two sects, called 'Xinyuan County'. The income from this place will be divided into three parts within ten years."
How about 20% of Rungui Sect?"
Chen Kun pondered for a moment, and the expression on his face changed. It was obvious that this condition was not what he expected, but it was somewhat attractive. "Ten years is too little, at least thirty years, and 20% is too little, at least 30% is required."
What is the difference between this condition and the Yu family of Li Zong? If he hadn't known that Chen Kun had no connection with the Yu family of Li Zong, Jiang Feng almost felt that they had communicated secretly. The difference was that the Yu family left very little for him, but they would
After casting the spiritual stone in, Chen Kun left a larger share for himself, but he didn't get any of it.
"Thirty years, a share of 25%. Moreover, in order to facilitate the expansion of trade, I need the use rights of 800 acres of land adjacent to the Qing Yu Sect in the southern part of Xinyuan County." Jiang Feng bargained. On the one hand, give the other party a share.
It would be better to have less. On the other hand, the common boundary between Qianshan Sect and Qingyu Sect is too short, and north of the mountains is mostly swampy wasteland. Now it has been destroyed by Suli Qing irrigation. The environment is too harsh, and it is not expensive to invest here.
Fei, in addition, he is worried that once Xinyuan County is built and the Qing Yu Sect builds a city in the southern part of the mountain range with better conditions, it will probably be equivalent to pulling the fire under the cauldron and directly cutting off his own income. If he can get the right to use the land
, then you can avoid this matter and balance the loss of the other party without any investment.
"Forty years."
"Deal." Jiang Feng decisively finalized the matter. In fact, whether it is thirty or forty years, there is not much difference in his mind. Living in the present, there may be no changes in forty years.
What is more important is the share, and finalizing the matter as soon as possible, binding some of the interests of the Qing Yu Sect with the Qian Shan Sect, so as to smoothly join the Jincheng Alliance and open up trade routes.
The two reached an agreement, and Chen Kun took out two secret contracts, but saw that they were empty. However, Wan Yuting's mark had been left on them. He felt carefully that in the strong and powerful words written like a dragon, there was a hint of someone in power.
Jiang Feng knew that the mark was genuine, and he and Chen Kun agreed on the content of the agreement. They signed their names and left their soul marks, and the agreement was concluded.
"Happy cooperation! See you in Zhuqiao City." Chen Kun threw a copy to Jiang Feng and left first. Jiang Feng did not dare to stay in this hotel, so he changed to a smaller inn and turned around to think about what he had just done.
Details come.
He once asked Chen Kun in a roundabout way about Yin Du's background, but the other party did not reveal anything about it. He only said that Wan Yuting handled the matter and that he had only met Yin Du in a hurry and did not know anything about it.
If he was not lying, then Wan Lao Mo must be the only one who knew the person behind Yin Du. Now that Chen Kun had met him and made a private contract, Jiang Feng secretly thought that maybe he would arrive at Zhuqiao City tomorrow and not meet him alone.
A chance to meet the Wan Lao Demon.
Chen Kun also told the details of his arrival in Zhuqiao City. Logically speaking, the Qianshan Sect needed a recommender to join the Jincheng League. He still needed to discuss this with several sects, but what was certain was that the Qingyu Sect
If it can't be this brick thrower, then the only ones left are Lelin Gate and Huanglong Gate.
Who could it be?
The Huanglongmen envoy only said that their leader Zuo Zichan would support him, but did not mention these details. As for Leng Tingtao, there has been no envoy communication recently. Unexpectedly, this link was ignored before. However, since Chen
The Kunming side has already benefited from it. In order to be safe, they must be able to pull the strings and push for this to happen. The 25% profit and the 40 years are worth it, and the remaining 70% will be worth it.
A 50% share must be enough to encourage the Changning Chamber of Commerce or other financial backers to settle here.
After settling a matter on his mind, Jiang Feng calmly took out the "Charming Heart Magic Crystal" that was under his tongue, and then started thinking about how to arrange the candidates for the "Spiritual Feast" within the sect.
