The four hundred and thirteenth chapter is willing to admit defeat
Leaning on the newly varnished counter of the tavern, waiting for the gray-whiskered shopkeeper to check if there was any cheap room available, Jiang Yunqi felt his whole body tighten for no reason. He couldn't help but turn his face again, and glanced at the only remaining shop in the lobby with the corner of his eye.
There were several drinkers, and then his target met a pair of eyes that seemed to be full of fire.
Two strange bright lights floated out of the eyes under the long eyelashes. Jiang Yunqi suddenly felt his whole body stagnant, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and his eyes couldn't help but wander downward, carefully looking at this person's appearance.
She has a thin body, a thin body, and a clean complexion. Judging from the aura, she is probably the same as herself, a spiritual-level monk, but she must be quite old. In the words of senior brother Jiang Chengzi, she is an old sister with no special skills, but Qian Qian
You must not call her out in person, otherwise it will be very miserable.
"Sir, there is still one guest room left, but it is in the corner of the second floor and there is some moisture. How about giving you half of the room charge?"
"It doesn't matter, I can handle it for one night."
Jiang Yunqi showed a slightly jerky smile. He escaped from the Qing Yu Sect by boat and was attacked by sea beasts on the Tianluomen coast. After being forced to disembark at a small fishing port, he traveled day and night, passing through the Ancient Sword Gate and the North Sword Gate.
Stormrage Canyon, and then enter the Chixia Gate. For safety and lack of money, he rarely stays in inns. Today is the second time. He once learned from his junior brother Jiang Zhiwen that Master Jiang Feng is here in Chixia.
Near Menpujiang Town, there was a foothold covered by a medical center, but he did not dare to go there rashly. He would wait until tomorrow to explore the area and seek refuge there.
I seem to be being targeted, who is she?
Following the shopkeeper's guidance, Jiang Yunqi got up and went up the narrow stairs, and then he faintly felt the thin female guest coming up. However, the "Danger Prediction" did not react at all, which showed that this person did not have any malicious intent, or that he had not revealed his true identity.
Feeling malicious, his steps quickened, and he soon reached the room at the corner.
Pushing open the ajar wooden door, the musty smell of moisture hit his face. No wonder it was half the price. Jiang Yunqi had already understood this. At most, he would use a breeze charm. Fortunately, there were still a few in the storage bag. He turned around and looked at it.
When he was about to close the wooden door, he felt a fragrant breeze blowing behind him, and saw that the thin figure had already caught up with him.
Jiang Yunqi quickly pressed the door and wanted to close it immediately, but the figure took a few steps quickly and reached the crack of the door.
"My little friend, it seems to me that you are not from the Chixia Sect."
Of course I am not. I am a member of the Qianshan Sect. At worst, I can be said to be a member of Yanqiling. But this seems to have nothing to do with you. Jiang Yunqi replied subconsciously, but he still replied politely, "Fellow Taoist
Mingjian, I am just a wandering cultivator."
"Are you traveling around?" The figure exerted a little force on his hand, and Jiang Yunqi was pushed back half a step without warning. "It seems that we have a common topic. It's a long night, how about we chat?"
…………
In the early morning, Yufeng Zongruo left the city, sinking in the mist blown by the breeze, and could vaguely see it.
Jiang Feng suddenly stopped. After half a stick of incense, Zhou Xing and Sun Dasheng, who were hanging behind him, came one after another and stood together on this deserted high cliff, overlooking Ruoli City. There was something provided by Ye Mo.
According to the detailed map, the three of them successfully escaped from the cave of Wanling Evil Lord without taking long detours, and finally escaped from the ruins in a mountain depression on the southwest edge of Huoyun Ridge. There were ravines and inaccessible places there, and it would be difficult to find them without searching carefully.
This hidden entrance.
It's time to return to Ruoli City. I still have a bet to finish. Jiang Feng thought silently in his heart. His right hand shook, and a blue light on his wrist suddenly appeared. It was the one he had used to exchange the mirage bead with Phantom Yingge before.
"Shuiyuan Lanjihua", just relying on the results of one flower, seems to be difficult to win, unless Su Liqing was unlucky and failed to find any "Shuiyuan Lanjihua".
This possibility is not impossible, but it is not high. I believe that Su Liqing, who is in the middle of the prefecture level, should have some means to collect this object as soon as possible in this illusion.
"Walk!"
Jiang Feng's body moved suddenly, and the "Flying Boat against the Wind" rose into the air. Behind him, Zhou Xing also picked up a bloody flying sword, wrapped Sun Dasheng around him, and headed straight for Ruoli City. In order to ensure that he acted carefully, he did not
Exposing the existence of the ruins and the cave, according to Jiang Feng's arrangement, when the three escaped from the ruins, they did not use any flying magic weapon until they flew here. Now, if this place is close to the city, it should not attract the attention of other monks
Notice.
As soon as the three of them settled down in the guild hall, they felt the aura around them, like an ebbing tide, suddenly rushing towards the entrance of the "Thousand Illusions". Jiang Feng, who had read Xiao Mingzhen's true record, immediately knew that this was the illusion that was about to close.
The phenomenon of disappearing. When Ye Mo was cleaning up the well of earth fire, he also noticed that the power of earth fire contained in the earth veins was gradually weakening, and the surge of earth fire was the basis for the "Thousand Illusions" to depend on.
Therefore, Jiang Feng did not dare to stay in Wanling Evil Lord's cave, and he did not even dare to set foot in the ruins that might contain some rare objects.
Now that the entrance to the ruins is known, you can explore it again if you have the opportunity in the future. However, if you miss the closing time of "Thousand Illusions", you will not only miss the bet, but also arouse the suspicion of others.
Zhou Xing and Sun Dasheng were ordered to go to the guest room to rest first. Jiang Feng waited alone in the hall. After a while, Wu Quanzhong, the elder of the foreign affairs department, rushed back in a hurry. His face was slightly waxy.
Huang, the robes on his body haven't had time to brush off the dust, so he must have spent all his energy in the illusion.
"Master, you came out early enough!"
"I'm just a few steps ahead of you. How about it? Is there any gain?"
"I have learned a lot. Although I encountered some dangers in the process, fortunately I figured out a way to avert the danger. Recalling what you said in the previous Dharma seminar, I still have some insights. It is considered a worthwhile trip."
Danger? Jiang Feng immediately thought of Phantom Yingge, but seeing that Wu Quanzhong seemed to be fine and uninjured, he should not be like himself when he encountered the servants left behind by Emperor Liubo. "If he can return safely, then
It's very good. If you have an epiphany, you might as well wait until you return to Luochuan and tell me about it, and see if I can help you clear up your doubts and provide some circumstantial evidence."
"Yes, yes!"
Wu Quanzhong nodded happily and sat down at Jiang Feng's signal, "Master, look, what did I find?" His face was half happy and half sad, and he exposed his arm, where there was a blue light embellishment, "What a pity.
If I can save it, I might be able to help the leader with some help. I don’t know..."
"Speaking of bad luck, it's just one flower."
Jiang Feng forced a smile, "This thing is really rare." After saying this, his thoughts were wandering. It seems that the probability of this thing appearing is not small, it just depends on luck. If it is not necessary to complete the agreement with Li Dabang,
With the help of my status as half master of Phantom Yingge, I should have the opportunity to get more.
"Perhaps Su Liqing is even more unlucky." Wu Quanzhong looked a little disappointed, but he immediately comforted him, "Even if we can't win this time, we can still use other methods to deal with it. Today's grand gathering of Yufeng Sect may be successful.
It's an opportunity. Now that the monks from Li Sect are here, why don't the leader find someone to make peace with him?"
"This matter is not urgent." Jiang Feng forced himself to be calm, thinking over and over again in his mind, and felt that Wu Quanzhong's suggestion was not feasible. After all, he had no interests and could trade with several forces in Li Zong. The Yu family was the most interested in this.
We have already tried it, but then suddenly gave up without knowing what was going on. Although the Xiao family and the Chu family had some prior communication and initial intentions, they were unable to intervene in time due to the Yu family's problems. This time the bet was decided and the deal was done. The rules were changed in the middle.
I'm afraid that a greater price needs to be paid, and the price itself also means that if you want to convince the other party, you also need to pay equal terms.
However, I don’t have many valuable things on my hands right now. Although I have a lot of young people, a few imprints of suspected heaven-level bosses, and the ancient treasure Tower of Eternity, I can’t sell much. And the Qianshan Sect really doesn’t let anyone
The conditions that shine before your eyes can make the other party have the patience to sit down at the negotiation table and bargain.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a squirming movement on his arm, which was the signal of Phantom Yingge. He immediately stood up and asked Wu Quanzhong to rest here for a while, then found an excuse to return to the guest room and released the black boy Yingge.
"Jiang Feng, this 'Shui Yuan Lan Ji Hua' bet is very important to you?" In the fantasy world, Yingge also occasionally heard Jiang Feng's two apprentices discussing the Qianhuan bet, but he did not mention it.
The causes and consequences are completely connected and smooth.
"It involves a large area of land. Although it is a swamp with few resources, it is connected to an important southbound trade route."
"I can help you transfer that flower from your hands."
"...Is this okay?"
"It's not too strenuous, but it has to be done willingly."
"You don't need the essence and blood of Nascent Soul or pseudo-heaven-level monks?" Jiang Feng immediately remembered what Black Boy Yingge once mentioned about the precious materials needed to replenish the spiritual energy of the flower garden. This item is very rare. Considering Jiang Feng's current communication
In this circle, he doesn’t know any living Nascent Soul or pseudo-celestial monks. Although the Supreme Leaders of Yufeng Sect and Ruijin Sect are here, he, who is like a stranger, cannot just go there with just a face.
What kind of blood do you want?
Isn’t that self-humiliating?
"unnecessary."
"It's so good. Two flowers are much better than one. Do you think...?"
"No credit." The black boy replied seriously, "If you waste the spiritual energy of the garden rashly, this thing will be destroyed sooner or later. How will I explain to the owner then?"
By the way, your master, Emperor Liubo, hasn't been found yet? And if he is trapped in that mysterious "Sin City", it must not be easy to find. Even if he finds it, he may not be able to get in, and even if he gets in, he may not be able to save you.
The master of the house came out... Jiang Feng subconsciously deduced a few sentences in his mind, but then he thought that he couldn't be so mean. In order to achieve his own goal, the credit would require the other party to sacrifice the only treasure the other party had, "Fangcaidu".
Forget it, one flower is just another flower, even if there is only one more flower, this bet will have a lot more chances of winning. He turned around and let Ying Ge hide himself again, and strolled into the square hall again.
"Quan Zhong, can you give me that flower?"
"Give it?" Wu Quanzhong's eyes lit up, but then dimmed, "Master, how can I give this? Can I cut it off with a dagger? Then will Su Liqing refuse to admit it?"
"No need for this." Jiang Feng reached out and grabbed Wu Quanzhong's arm, shaking it slightly, "Since you are willing, it will be easy."
When he looked again, there was already a mark of "Water Origin Blue Flower" on Jiang Feng's arm, while Wu Quanzhong's arm was completely empty.
Not a single mark.
"This..." Wu Quanzhong was stunned, then smiled and said, "The leader is really a strange person."
"Two flowers are not a guarantee, but they are much better. Keep it secret." Jiang Feng was also very satisfied with the result. He thought that it would be great if he could find more "good people". However, unless there are some monks who are curious about this thing, the rest
Most likely they would not be interested in such useless and rare things. After thinking about this, Wei Ruoguang and Zheng Yiyu came back one after another. Wu Quanzhong hurriedly asked, but he could only turn around and shake his head. The two of them did not find this thing in the illusion, so they had to
Give up.
Just as he was about to turn around and rest for a while, waiting for Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect, to visit, Li Yufeng, the foreign affairs elder of the Yufeng Sect, arrived first.
"I heard that you and Su Liqing have a bet, and I will be the middle man, right?"
"So everyone knows." Jiang Feng smiled. This was the result he wanted, and it must have been what Su Liqing wanted, so the bet couldn't be hidden. Jiang Feng originally planned to invite Ling Feidu, who was barely acquainted with him,
As a middle-aged man witnessing this bet, but what happened to Mu Qianxue suddenly happened, he decisively stopped such unrealistic thoughts. What he can do now is to stay as far away from Ling Feidu as possible to avoid receiving too much attention.
Leng Tingtao is naturally a good candidate, but as Li Yufeng, a key figure in Ruijinmen, since he took the initiative to step forward and request, he could not refuse categorically. When the two set up a trap against themselves in Su Liqing, they had some old grudges that had not been resolved.
There was also the unpleasant incident of Li Youde colluding with the Ruijinmen envoy, but the two incidents were actually caused by the different interests of the sects. Of course, this did not mean that Jiang Feng was generous enough to ignore the grudges. Lei Youqi's matter, he
Sooner or later, there will be a settlement. However, Jiang Feng has no way or the strength to deal with Ruijinmen at the moment. This is why he has to accept the other party's overtures.
"Although I am a middle-aged man, I naturally support you, Master Jiang. We are old friends."
Yes, if I had more friends like you, the grass might have grown several feet on my grave, Jiang Feng thought to himself, but his face remained happy, "Then there will be Brother Lao Yufeng."
"Where is it?" Li Yufeng turned sideways, leaned over and whispered, "Don't worry, even if you lose, I will ask Su Liqing to make some concessions. After all, harmony makes money, and this trade route passes through Qianshan.
Only those who belong to the ancestral family can go south."
"In this case, I would like to thank Brother Yufeng for your kindness." Jiang Feng bowed his hands in salute, but deliberately did not reveal the mark on his wrist. He did not want to reveal the specific amount first. After all, with Yingge's help, he might still have a chance.
, such as Leng Tingtao, if there is one, you can fight for it, but you have to make up some lies sometimes, and it is easy to fall into passivity when it comes to Beimu County. Speaking of Beimu County, I don’t know Yufeng Sect.
After the incident involving the leader Mu Qianxue, will the new master of Yufeng Sect change his previous cooperative attitude towards this matter?
"Headmaster Jiang!"
At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the guild hall. It was Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng Sect, and behind him, Leng Tingtao, the head of the Lelin Sect, was talking and laughing.
The conversation was very pleasant.
"Master Su is polite!"
Jiang Feng responded casually according to the etiquette of monks of the same level. He was originally in awe of this "father-in-law", but since they were all on the same boat in the Jincheng Alliance and he had advanced to the earth level, there was no need for it.
How polite.
"Master Jiang, I wonder if the result of your bet with Master Su can be revealed?" Leng Tingtao seemed to be looking forward to this, "I would like to say that this 'Water Yuan Lan Jihua' is indeed rare.
I can only think of one." He stretched out his hand to expose his arm, and there was a blue mark there.
What a pity...
Jiang Feng thought to himself, otherwise he could still find a way to get one more, but now that Su Liqing and Leng Tingtao were traveling together, he couldn't cheat openly.
"I'll go first." Su Liqing looked around and saw several monks passing by. They gathered around and rolled up his sleeves. There were three clear prints there.
Three flowers...
Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little dizzy. Three to two, wasn't this a loss? What he had planned with all his strength and effort before was defeated by a flower. He couldn't help but regret in his heart that he didn't go out for a walk earlier.
If we could have met Leng Tingtao earlier and won three draws and three draws, there might still be room for change in the matter of the Marsh Trade Road.
Hi
Forget it, since it was a bet, I was willing to admit defeat. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, there was no room for maneuver at all. Jiang Feng had no choice but to gently pull up his sleeves, revealing the two marks on his arms. The overall situation was over.
If it is determined, then we need to reconsider how to manage Xiling County well when Su Liqing holds 60% of the shares.
While sighing in his heart, he saw Su Liqing's confident face suddenly change color. Jiang Feng couldn't help but look down, and saw that the two marks that were leaning together turned into four at some point, but they were smaller than before.
In other words, it is more than half the size.
"You..." Su Liqing looked in disbelief.
"It's a little small, but it's still the Water Elemental Lan Jihua." Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, "Master Su, it seems that I won this bet."
