Although Su Liqing looked calm when he entered the Thundercloud City tent, Jiang Feng knew that he was very unhappy. He just glanced at Jiang Feng briefly and said with a smile:
"Head Jiang has plenty of spare energy. He stopped fighting on the northern front and came to help on the southern front."
"I can't help myself. Leader Su misunderstood. The leader of the alliance has invited me." Jiang Feng did not answer. He really wanted to use irony to deal with Su Liqing's teasing, but the current situation meant that he still had to strengthen unity and go beyond Su Liqing, the Northern Front commander.
Commander, coming to Leiyun City to report is indeed an overstep, but to take a step back, this hierarchical relationship was also deliberately created by Wan Lao Mo and others through suppression in terms of cultivation.
above, it should be an equal relationship.
However, Su Liqing's words, which were neither serious nor serious, made Jiang Feng's heart drop to the ground for a long time, and then he became trembling again. Along the way, he always felt that there was a subtle aura following him. He originally thought it was
Su Liqing was up to something, but now it seems that he didn't know he was coming to Leiyun City before he received the order to go here. But, if that's the case, where did the lingering aura come from?
He let Su Liqing into the coach's tent, and Jiang Feng followed closely and also entered the main tent. Chen Kun once again played a high-quality insulation note and told Tianyin Temple's idea of cooperating with the Jincheng League, but he saw Su Liqing's face
The sudden change was just like the appearance of Zheng Jiasheng, the head of Biyun Sect, when he first heard the news.
"Is it possible that this is a conspiracy on their part?"
"It's somewhat possible, but since it's what Senior Brother Jiang is saying, it doesn't seem like he's fooling us." Chen Kun explained, "The reason for seeking the territory of Jinguang Pavilion is untenable. I think there are other reasons.
, but Master Jiang refused to say."
"What shouldn't be said?" Su Liqing looked suspicious.
"This involves some people's secrets." Jiang Feng raised his hand. Presumably several people here should know that he was referring to the Nine Old Men. Tianyin Temple wanted to restore the homeland of Wei State. Brother Zhao Jiyuan emphasized that this
You should never tell others about things, you can only keep them in your own stomach. Of course, this will undoubtedly reduce the credibility of cooperation.
"What's Xu Funing's attitude?"
"My master naturally supports it." Jiang Feng replied. This was also Zhao Jiyuan's explanation. Jiang Feng, who has never met Xu Funing, didn't know how credible this sentence was. The only thing he could be sure of was,
Zhao Jiyuan may have tricked him, but there is no need to trick him too badly.
"I don't believe it!" Su Liqing said, "We just had a fight with Tianyin Temple in Gujing City on the northern line. All three sects had casualties. Although this may be for Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen to see, but if we really
We must mobilize all our forces to go to the Eastern Front. Once they cheat, the Yu Sect of the Qing Dynasty will be in danger."
None of them spoke, and all looked at Wan Lao Mo, whose gloomy face seemed to be moving intentionally.
"Why did we send troops to deal with Tianyin Temple's criticism?" Chen Kun did not delve into the authenticity of Tianyin Temple's cooperation, but asked another question.
"Of course it's for Tianyin Temple's territory." Zheng Jiasheng was very direct, "Since half of their main force has gone to the northern front, we should take action immediately and catch them off guard on the southern front. If we win, it will be a war or a peace, and we will have the initiative.
In our hands."
"No, I'm thinking, what will happen if we cooperate with Tianyin Temple, but don't actually cooperate?" Chen Kun walked to the hung map, "We can put all our main forces on the eastern front. If
If we can defeat Tianluomen, then it is the same to expand our territory to the east. However, during this period, Tianyin Temple must help us hold back Jinguang Pavilion and buy us time. This is easy for them. Jinguang Pavilion thinks
To participate in the war, we must pass through the territory of Tianyin Temple. And when we defeated Tianluomen's main force, we quickly returned to the army. After that, we made Tianyin Temple's idea of cooperating with us public, and waited for Jinguang Pavilion to wait and see, and then we
Defeat Tianyin Temple. In this way, we can have both sides, and this battle will be won."
"What a joke, how can we have so many monks on the east and west fronts? And, to say the least, even if we do, we only have Wan Alliance Leader, how can we defeat Tianluomen?" Zheng Jiasheng smiled contemptuously and sneered at Chen Kun's suggestion.
"Since we have an agreement on the Western Front, we can just maintain the defensive position. Tianluomen's Nascent Soul Liu Shihan has been injured in the Li Zong incident. Only Liu Shiyi, the leader, is left. Leader Wan is confident of a complete victory." Chen Kun seemed to be thinking about this.
There is success.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, Master Liu." Feeling the eyes of everyone looking at him, Wan Yuting nodded, "The key issue is Tianyin Temple's sincerity in cooperation."
So the focus returned to Jiang Feng.
"We need a middleman and tokens that can prove the sincerity of Tianyin Temple's cooperation." Su Liqing changed his mind when he saw that several people expressed their willingness to join the game.
Sure enough... he fell into the scheme of his senior brother Zhao Jiyuan. Of course Jiang Feng also believed that empty words were not enough to gain trust. Not only did the people in front of him not believe it, but he himself didn't believe it either.
"Since you are interested, I will go for another trip. It's just..."
"Since you initiated this matter, we naturally believe you." Chen Kun knew what Jiang Feng meant. In fact, Jiang Feng first submitted this matter through Chen Kun. He took out a map from his sleeve and threw it to
Jiang Feng, "Take a few glances, but don't stay. Having said that, if you, Master Jiang, have other intentions..."
"After this battle, the Qianshan Sect no longer has the protection of the patriarchal system. Why did I betray the alliance?" Naturally, Jiang Feng didn't need to say much when talking to a smart man. He took a few glances at the defense map that Chen Kun threw over.
He was well aware of the various layouts of the Jincheng League, and such uninformed arrangements as the "Bluestone Terrace" would never happen again. He threw back the defense plan and said, "Master Su, why don't we go back to the Bluestone Terrace together?"
"You and your son-in-law are back together, so you can take care of me." Zheng Jiasheng gloated, obviously he could see that Su Liqing was unhappy about being bypassed.
Su Liqing didn't say anything, neither refused nor agreed. He left the military tent first and headed northwest. Jiang Feng didn't hesitate, and followed closely in the flying boat.
"Next time something like this happens, tell me first." Looking at the bluestone terrace, Su Liqing steadied her body and looked calm, "Don't forget, Su Jin is my daughter. What I can give you, they may not be able to give you.
"
"I understand." Jiang Feng understood. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front, Su Liqing certainly did not want his interests to be shared by the three sects on the Southern Front. If his subordinates could unify their caliber, it would be easier for them to gain more benefits when they win in the future. However, Jiang Feng did not
You know, whether you can be allocated it depends on your contribution.
They each returned to camp and spent another day. As expected, there was no movement in Wuchen City. The spies sent out by Leng Tingtao reported that Tianyin Temple only sent a few idle monks to take over Gujing City to appease the ordinary people who had not escaped.
Those who sought refuge within Tianyin Temple were also assisted in their relocation.
It seems that there is no protective formation, and Tianyin Temple has no intention of entering. It is a pity for these ordinary people, but even if Jiang Feng is given this opportunity, he can't persuade these refugees to go to Qianshan Sect. Until midnight at night
, Jiang Fengcai greeted Su Liqing politely, and then left the protective formation again, and went to the agreed place, a sandbank in the middle of the river further north, to meet his senior brothers Zhao Jiyuan and Jianxing.
He deliberately came out half an hour early, hoping to get some more words out of Zhao Jiyuan, who had been pretending to be confused. Chen Kun's words seemed simple, but in fact he was warning himself that if Tianyin Temple was really deceiving the Jincheng Alliance,
If you get involved and cause losses, the Asayama Sect may cease to exist.
The stakes are somewhat high, Xu Funing, Xu Funing, you cheap master, the last of the Nine Old Men, don’t play tricks on me!
…………
The promontory southwest of Jinguang Pavilion has always been known as the "Wrath Cape" due to strong winds and high waves.
Next to the rock wall with splashing waves, three twisted shadows suddenly lost the power of the wild waves, but the darkness still seemed to be undisturbed and still held this place in its arms.
"Tianyin Temple has taken action." The voice was a little old, it was Qi Boyuan, "Xu Funing's apprentice went to the front line and met his new apprentice Jiang Feng."
"This doesn't mean anything. I'm still skeptical." Ma Zhiyuan's voice rose and fell, looming in the sound of the waves. "Perhaps Xu Funing just pretended to be confused in order to alienate the relationship between Tianyin Temple and us. After all, he didn't
Go see Tong Guang or Gong Ye Kai."
"Gong Yekai came to see me." Ning Liheng, who had been silent until now, interrupted, "He changed his mind and wanted to ask for a good way to improve his qualifications, but I didn't agree."
"At this point in time, you should give up your prejudices." Ma Zhiyuan said, "Although it is a little worse, it is still better than Tongguang. Since we have divided Wei into three parts, it is just for the convenience of control. It will not help if we leave them."
"Oh, actually the leader Chen Fahe is pretty good." Ning Liheng didn't care, "It's just that his cultivation level is still a bit lacking. Maybe after seven or eight years, he will be able to catch my eye."
"That's too far." Qi Boyuan sighed deeply, "What do you think should happen now?"
"In terms of north-south trade, we cannot ignore Tianyin Temple. Yefan Kingdom and Nanyuan Sect are not in our hands. I cannot control all the trade leading to the Whale Sea Islands. Now, along the South China Sea coast, we cannot
Lost it again."
"But Tong Guang, I don't believe it." He added, "Li Heng should know his thoughts. Although he promised to give up that unrealistic fantasy, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either. Tongguang has always been an extremely stubborn person."
"But we can't just push him to Xu Funing." Qi Boyuan set the tone, "Let Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen go to support, but with Ye Fan and Qi Guo here, they can't do their best, so we should use Heaven
Yin Temple is the main force, no matter we win or lose, as long as Tianyin Temple can defend the sea area, it will not harm us."
"Qi Meng is Liu Tingjian's confidant. It is impossible for him to cooperate with us again on this issue like he did on Li Zong."
"In addition, Yefan Kingdom is also Song Xianghong's territory." Ma Zhiyuan reminded again.
"Fortunately, they are busy dealing with the Zen Heart Institute's investigation now. Your previous report was very timely. Li Sect's Juque Port is really enough to worry them."
"We have to be careful." Ning Liheng had a different opinion, "Shen Tongxiao and Qing Daozi are both mediocre people. Such people always have bad ideas."
"Remember, our focus should still be on Li Zhenlong and Lu Zhimian. When necessary, it doesn't hurt to make some concessions and see what they want to do."
"yes!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and together with the three twisted figures, they were immediately blown away by the huge waves that they had endured so hard.
…………
The moonlight is cold on the sandbank in the Pantuo River.
"No, I won't be a middle-aged man. I am a public official of the Zen Heart Academy." Regarding Jiang Feng's proposal, Zhao Jiyuan flatly refused and gave a high-sounding excuse, "The Zen Heart Academy cannot intervene.
The affairs between various sects.”
"Then why are you here?"
"You really can't help yourself. It's hard to disobey the teacher's orders." Zhao Jiyuan looked bitter, "Look, I didn't get any benefits from helping you, junior brother. It's hard to be a disciple."
It seems like the true feelings are revealed, but the more it is like this, the more uneasy I am. Jiang Feng can't help but think in his heart, "Has Master met Tongguang and Na Gongyekai?"
"How do I know this? Master won't report the itinerary to me."
"You were the one communicating in the center before?" Zhao Jiyuan didn't give a clear answer, so Jiang Feng could only think that he really hadn't seen it, otherwise Zhao Jiyuan would definitely give a positive answer.
"It was your third senior brother Wei Zhengtong before. He was an errand in the Lifan Academy, and some interactions were normal."
"Then why was it suddenly handed over to you, senior brother?"
"I don't know either." Zhao Jiyuan sighed with a look of helplessness on his face, but Jiang Feng knew that this was definitely not the truth. Thinking of the temperament of his third senior brother Wei Zhengtong, he was indeed not a suitable candidate for a job like "harming mud".
The more this happened, the more worried he became about Xu Funing and Tianyin Temple's sincerity.
Of course, even if they did, the Jincheng Alliance was not sincere. The reason why everyone was persuaded was because of Chen Kun's idea, which might maximize the interests of each sect. However, for each sect, they must bet on the immediate situation.
All in all, it is definitely a big gamble.
Damn it, I'm betting on the future of the Asayama Sect. If I'm cheated by them, I have no way to deal with it. Should I go back and say that they have no sincerity, and take a step back to open up the world?
"Junior brother, you have to believe that Wan Yuting is not an easy person. He is also a person who has been imprisoned by Li Zong for hundreds of years."
"You know?" Although he knew that senior brother Zhao Jiyuan was deliberately changing the topic, Jiang Feng was still attracted by this sentence.
"Of course, how could I not know anything about it when I have been working as an official in the Zen Heart Academy for so many years? Wan Yuting was considered a genius back then. He reached the prefecture-level consummation at a young age. He fell out with Wei Lanqiu because of a woman. But
Although he was usually arrogant, he acted cautiously and made no serious mistakes. Therefore, he could not be punished according to the terms set by each court. Therefore, Wei Lanqiu set a trap to cause him to conflict with Li Zong and was detained by Li Zong.
However, even though Wei Lanqiu was in the way, he still found a way to survive and successfully escaped to heaven. Later, he reached an agreement with Li Zong and no longer dwells on the past. If it were you, could you
Can you do it?"
"Of course we can't."
Jiang Feng knew that there was something behind Zhao Jiyuan's words. He was hinting to himself in disguise that no matter what he did, the decision-making power ultimately rested with Wan Lao Mo. In other words, there were still secrets within his own party that he didn't know, just like Wan Lao Mo's words.
Just like the resounding "Liu Shizhou is nothing to be afraid of", it is hard to say who will win one on one against Yuanying at the pseudo-tian level. At least it would be extremely difficult to crush Liu Shizhou. Jiang Feng had learned Liu Shizhou's skills at Baiyao Villa, although
Because of my low cultivation level, the opponent didn't put in much effort at all, but based on his two observations of Wan Lao Demon, I thought he would defeat the opponent within a few moves, and it would be impossible to succeed.
Speaking of which, what agreement did Wan Lao Mo and Li Zong reach? Jiang Feng accidentally caught a special point, but it had nothing to do with the matter at hand. He had to bury it in his heart and wait for the opportunity to discover it.
Jiang Feng wanted to ask more questions, but Zhao Jiyuan signaled Jiang Feng to be silent and reinforced the soundproof cover around him. After a few breaths, the surrounding area was completely covered by thick fog, and no breath was exposed.
Do you need to be so cautious?
"Someone's been watching us."
These words made Jiang Feng's heart tremble. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there was a hole in the edge of the dense fog. When he looked again, it was Jin Dan's figure squeezing in.
"I brought the token." Seeing that his hands were empty, Jiang Feng took out a blue silk handkerchief from his sleeve.
He just shook in the air and threw out a huge package from the silk handkerchief.
"I have to go."
"How can we leave? We haven't inspected the goods yet." Jiang Feng was anxious. His senior brother Zhao Jiyuan, who was supposed to be the middle-aged man, tried to evade him in every possible way. If he continued to deal with this situation casually, he might not be able to end it.
"Don't worry, you will be satisfied." He ignored Jiang Feng's entanglement and came over, "Remember to return it to me." Then he plunged into the thick fog.
"I have to leave too." Zhao Jiyuan actually wanted to say goodbye.
"Just leave me alone, don't you worry?"
"Don't worry, this silk handkerchief is easy to sacrifice." Zhao Jiyuan said, "And this thing is a treasure of Tianyin Temple. No one can take it away as long as you don't want to. However, junior brother, you must remember what I said before.
"
baffling.
Seeing senior brother Zhao Jiyuan also hurriedly squeeze out, Jiang Feng was confused. He couldn't help but sigh at the unreliability of the two people, and then observed the huge package.
Compared with the blue silk silk handkerchief in his hand, the material of this package was ordinary. Jiang Feng pulled off the rope on it, but what he saw in front of him couldn't help but shocked him, and he took two steps back.
Speaking of which, the sincerity of this cooperation is indeed enough.
