Four hundred and ninetieth chapters fish in the pool
Jiang Feng was about to send someone to search for him when he saw a plump figure in the distance getting closer and closer. It was Wu Tiande. He was sweating profusely, his clothes were wet, and he was panting, but his face looked a little pale.
"Why didn't you abide by the commandments and were a step too late?" In fact, Jiang Feng didn't want to go into details. After all, he was just a few steps too late. However, in full view of the public, in order to maintain strict discipline, he still had to ask at least one or two questions.
"I went to pry up the large formation disk." Wu Tiande took out a seemingly heavy set of bluestone-colored formation disks and six earth-colored flags from his storage bag, which seemed to be the core of the large formation here. "This formation disk can be re-
Utilizing it can save the sect a lot of spiritual stones."
"Yes, it's commendable to be able to think about the sect all the time." The blame in Jiang Feng's heart immediately dissipated. Unexpectedly, Wu Tiande curled his lips and said, "Master, how much tribute can this array be worth?"
Pooh!
You scoundrel about feelings, you said it was for the sake of the sect, but in your heart you were all about business. Jiang Feng suddenly felt that he had spoken a little too much praise, but he saw Wu Tiande glance at Zhao Liangdi in the crowd, "Maybe it can be turned into a betrothal gift.
It’s okay to give it to Sister Liangdi. Speaking of which, I’m not in a hurry to redeem the tribute recently.”
"This is a serious matter. Let's go back to the team first and discuss it later after returning to the clan." Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao stepped forward in time to relieve the siege.
"Forget it, with so many people testifying, the sect won't rely on me if you want to come to the sect." Wu Tiande smiled and handed the formation disk and the command flag to Wei Ruoguang, the elder who was passing on the merits. "Elder Wei, you are the most capable person."
Put it away for me. If I am unfortunate enough to end up here, I will replace it with Mengong and give it to Sister Liangdi. But if she remarries someone else within three months, forget it. You can't take advantage of that pretty boy."
"Laizi, what nonsense are you talking about!" This time Wang Xiandao didn't need to intervene to save the situation. A shout came from the crowd, which was immediately drowned out by the roar of laughter.
"Let's go!" Wu Tiande made a joke to adjust the atmosphere. The atmosphere that was originally a little gloomy due to the death of his former companions suddenly became much more lively.
"No, Chief, there is one more thing." Wu Tiande, who had just squeezed into the crowd, jumped out again, "I have tied up eight members of Gu Yansi's family, and I have to find someone to take them and Changshou
The ghosts can't take it back with us, otherwise they will definitely miss the trip."
Gu Yansi was the foundation-building monk whom Jiang Feng suddenly had a love for talents and did not kill. Although he was taken care of and no longer in danger, he still could not move with the army. Moreover, although this guy woke up, he made it clear that
He would rather die than join the Qianshan Sect, so he could only temporarily use the spirit-sealing talisman to seal his fourth-level foundation cultivation, tie him up and imprison him. Now that everyone wants to leave here, it is a bit tricky to deal with it.
This was forcing Gu Yansi to submit. Jiang Feng immediately understood the deep meaning of Wu Tiande's move. He originally wanted to ask Hua Baiqian to do this kind of dirty work, but he was in a hurry and was too late. Unexpectedly, Wu Laizi took the first step.
"Since they are Gu Yansi's family members, they should be treated kindly. In your opinion, who is suitable for this escort job?"
"Of course it's Wang Yi!"
"Why?"
"He misses my Liangdi sister." This sentence was immediately drowned out by another burst of laughter. Many people began to "scream" that Wu Tiande had no bottom line and avenged private revenge. But in fact, no one took it seriously and only listened to it as a joke. Only the person involved
Zhao Liangdi stamped his feet repeatedly, and finally hid behind Xu Xiaofei, his face flushed red, and he never showed up again.
This is really your personal opinion, and you don’t mean to hide it at all. Jiang Feng turned to look at Wang Yi, who was a little embarrassed. Although he volunteered to come to the front line, his fighting skills just now did not have any effect, and he was even a bit behind.
There are signs of legs, but at this time we cannot use this excuse to let him leave the team.
"Wang Yi, you have experience in traveling outside the sect, so I feel more at ease that you will handle this matter." Jiang Feng took a set of Tianyin Temple uniforms stored in the treasury here, "Escort Gu Yansi to Xiling County
, the journey is long, and you are more likely to encounter monks from Tianyin Temple, so be careful."
Wang Yi followed the order and went out. Although he did not agree with this special task in his heart, the leader's order was an order and he could only accept it. However, he saw the leader Jiang Feng pick out a set of self-defense armor and iron boots from the seized items.
"Quickly perform sacrifices on the road. If something goes wrong, the best thing to do is run away!"
"Yes!" He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Jiang Feng flew into the air and took a few more glances at the newly acquired Renshou City. He felt quite sorry in his heart. Not far to the south of the city, there was a second-level high-grade spiritual land. There were several products nearby, especially the spiritual field.
There are countless business opportunities in the north-south thoroughfare, but it is difficult for me to defend this place with just a group of subordinates, so I can only give up.
Forget it, wasn't it originally just to seek the initiative, to travel long distances, and to plunder?
Jiang Feng felt relieved, put aside his obsession, shouted "Let's go" loudly, and headed straight to the northeast. According to his assumption, if Renshou City fell, Tianyin Temple would definitely mobilize monks from all walks of life to gather at Renshou City.
, in order to wipe out our lone army that dares to go deep into the hinterland to provoke, and our own side must try to avoid a head-on confrontation with any supporting army.
Therefore, quickly returning to the territory of Qing Yu Sect is actually the right way. When crossing the river, Jiang Feng chose the location between Wuchen City and Qingxin City in advance, leaning more towards the former. In this way, the Qianshan Sect and others can compete with Lelin.
Menleng Tingtao's troops briefly joined forces to ensure their own safety.
Since they all went out to wander around Leiyun City before, the empty Leiyun City has since
Otherwise, if he returns to his teacher at this moment, he will only have a head-on confrontation with the monks from Tianyin Temple.
Moreover, in Jiang Feng's opinion, an empty city that had lost all its commonplaces was of little value.
…………
Qing Yuzong, bluestone terrace.
Li Rulin hurriedly walked out of the temporary military tent of the rear army. The four prefecture-level casual cultivators he had just temporarily invited from Zhenwu City of Li Zong settled here. The four people will be responsible for assisting in guarding this place. Of course, they will stay here to strengthen their strength.
Prestige is the main mission, and it does not include fighting skills, nor does it involve coordinating with the Lelin Sect to launch an active attack.
Such a contract can effectively reduce the price of employment and make it easier to reach cooperation.
However, Li Rulin invited a few people here with the idea of tricking the opponent into entering the game first, with the idea of getting closer to the goal step by step. In his opinion, on the Qingshi Terrace, the resistance to persuade the opponent to join the battle and help was far greater than the resistance in force.
Zong persuades to be much smaller.
In fact, he is not far away from success. Three of the four people have expressed their opinions one after another that they can help, but they are not responsible for fighting hard and fighting in the front line. The remaining one is still hesitant, but there must be some differences on the price.
This is already very good. After all, it is just an employment relationship. Whether the Jincheng League wins or loses, and the Lelin Clan wins or loses, it has nothing to do with the long-term interests of these four people.
"For each battle, each person will receive an additional eight to fifteen third-level employment fees at one time." Li Rulin entered the main account and informed Leng Tingtao of all the conditions and prices he had negotiated. In his opinion, this price
It is still within the affordable range. After all, the daily cost of hiring these four people ranges from two level 3 coins to four level 3 coins.
"Although I don't agree with the front line, the battlefield is in chaos, so what difference does it make between the front line and the back line?" Li Rulin leaned closer and added in a low voice, "In this case, plus Meng Daxin and you, the leader, we
There are six earth-level monks, enough to launch an effective attack. I heard..."
"Are you talking about Jiang Feng's direct insertion into Renshou City, the hinterland of Tianyin Temple?" Leng Tingtao glanced at the report before the case. It was submitted half an hour ago. Although it was unclear due to problems with the intelligence network, it was still
It's believable, but Li Rulin knew about it before he made any announcement. This is a rare thing.
"Yes, although it is not an effective attack, it is enough to open up the situation. The best defense is to attack. Once the opponent attacks this bluestone platform, it will be impossible to defend against it."
"Have the monks from Wuchen City gone to help?"
"Meng Daxin has been in charge. I passed by him when I came here. It is observed that people on the opposite side have left. There are only two golden elixirs left in the city to take charge, and there are not many foundations left. There is nothing to worry about. This situation is suitable for me.
The army used the power of thunder to quickly strangle this army. When they gather again, the strength of both sides is about the same, and the bluestone platform may be able to be defended."
Leng Tingtao was quite moved.
Six versus two does have some advantages. Moreover, among the prefecture-level monks hired by Li Rulin, there is also a sixth-level prefectural-level casual cultivator, whose strength cannot be underestimated. If Wuchen City can be captured, the assets seized may be able to offset the hired ones.
cost.
However, it was impossible to survive without death, so he hesitated a bit. The most capable elites of Lelin Sect were the people in front of him.
"Master!" Li Rulin urged softly.
"Let me think about it. Within half an hour, listen to my orders." Leng Tingtao leaned back. He knew that "opportunities are fleeting", but to make a decision, you really need to think twice. This is not like
When Su Liqing's subordinates were on duty, all losses were borne by the other party. Now, the decision-making power is in his own hands, and gains and losses can be made in a matter of seconds.
After sending away the somewhat excited and smug Li Rulin, Leng Tingtao originally wanted to summon Meng Daxin, but then he remembered that this was not enough to win his trust. His family members had always refused to move north from Jincheng to Lelin City, and even more
He rejected his request for marriage. For the time being, he cannot discuss such confidential matters with him.
So he called his confidant Lan Gui, who could also be regarded as his own family. Lan Gui's two sisters were both in his house, and they were both pregnant now.
"Master, I don't think it's okay for a few people to die." Lan Gui heard Leng Tingtao's story and without thinking, he took the first step and said: "It is impossible for the sect to fight without killing people. Think about it, back then, the Chixia Sect worked so hard to achieve this goal.
In the plot against the Luoying Sect and the fierce battle with the Tianli Sect, how many people died in the Chixia Sect? At the foundation level, it would not be an exaggeration to take only two out of the three, right?"
"It's true." Although there is no detailed report, the news from the Chamber of Commerce is enough to prove that Lan Gui's words are true. At that time, he had also lamented that there is only a territory above ten thousand bones.
"The question is, what can we get in exchange for so many people dying or spending such a high price?" Lan Gui said eloquently, "Except for the area around Taoyuan City, almost all of Luoyingmen's homeland has been swallowed up by Chixiamen, right?
Just in terms of the spiritual land and the common people under the rule, it can be regarded as the first place of the Seven Alliances. If you hadn't put aside the past and re-established an alliance with Su Liqing and the others, think about it a few years later, maybe you would be frightened by the red.
Xiamen is so powerful that he surrenders to the throne, and even has to surrender the city to protect himself, right?"
"It's true as you said, Lan Gui, what do you think?"
"I fully agree with inviting those four people. I am ashamed of Li Rulin's strategy, but in terms of profit, I think he made a miscalculation." Lan Gui brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Leng Tingtao.
, carefully placed in front of the case, "Master, please be patient and calm.
Let me give you an analysis. The cost of four prefecture-level monks to go out in battle is about forty third-level coins. Over the past year, I have been searching for ways to make money. Apart from the cost of buying shares in the shops in Juque City, I still have some money left in the treasury.
One hundred and twelve third-level coins, I think I can still afford it, but casual cultivators are casual cultivators, and they have no rules when it comes to fighting, let alone cooperating with the monks of our sect. It is difficult to predict whether they will win or lose.
"
"We will only talk about the situation of victory." Seeing Leng Tingtao's hesitant expression, Lan Gui also pulled up an ordinary chair and sat sideways. "In the event of victory, according to common sense, whoever defeats the material looted from the monks will win."
Whoever gets killed will belong to them. The possessions of the opponent's two golden elixirs will most likely be obtained by the four casual cultivators. There is not much material left to build the foundation, so it is not worth calculating. When Wuchen City is captured, the city's
Although the scene is not prosperous, if I can occupy it for more than seven days, I can squeeze out hundreds of third-level coins. But if I just plunder and then withdraw, I estimate that it will not exceed thirty third-level coins. From this point of view
It looks like it’s not enough to pay for those four people.”
"But we will still die, and we will have to provide compensation to the families of the deceased monks afterwards. Of course, this is something for later. We can consider this matter after three months."
"Judging from the spiritual stone, we did suffer a loss, but in the alliance, this should be considered a meritorious service." Leng Tingtao frankly told the Qianshan Sect about the deep into the hinterland of Tianyin Temple. This was something that even Meng Daxin had not done on the Qingshi Platform.
Unknown.
"The Qianshan Sect's ruined settlement is naturally for looting." Lan Gui disagreed, "Headmaster, you asked me to be responsible for the treasury and taxation. Of course I know the trouble of not having the spirit stone. The Qianshan Sect's annual income last year would not exceed five
If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to grab the third level, what will happen next year? I'm afraid Linggu won't even be able to afford it."
"They can grab it, but we can't?" Leng Tingtao was still slightly interested, "Not far to the west of Wuchen City, there are two small cities. Maybe if we are more aggressive, we can also gain a lot."
"But the risk is also greater. If too many people die as a result, our Lelin Sect's status in the alliance may be shaken." Lan Gui frowned, "This is not the most important thing. Chief, there is one thing
The most important thing must be considered clearly. If the Jincheng Alliance wins, will we get even an inch of the territory north of Tianyin Temple?"
"Of course we can't get it. We can only ask for it from Jincheng Sect, Huanglongmen and Qianshan Sect."
"That's it." Lan Gui said, "If the monks of our sect suffer too much loss, will they honestly abide by the agreement in advance and give it up? If there is no income to distribute, will the monks outside
Are you dissatisfied?"
After hearing this, Leng Tingtao couldn't sit still, "It's true, uncle, it was your words that woke me up." Leng Tingtao changed his title and patted Lan Gui's shoulder, "I still rely on my family.
Spectrum. Uncle, do you have any advice on this situation?"
"Hold your troops and wait for them to deploy troops to besiege the Qianshan Sect. I heard that Jiang Feng is a beast with a very high life, and I think he will be able to deal with them for a long time. In addition, we must strengthen intelligence work. Once Jiang Feng comes, I want to
If we want to bring trouble here, we must retreat immediately."
"Will he be accused in the alliance?" Leng Tingtao agreed in his heart. This coincided with his previous idea of sacrificing the Qianshan Sect, including Li Rulin's idea of "showing strength", but it is okay to smile and watch the situation, but he will die.
It would be too much not to save him. He was quite worried about the pressure from the alliance in the future.
"Even if we are questioned, we can say that we have detected the opponent and have the idea of breaking into the hinterland of Qing Yu Sect and attacking Zhuqiao City. Therefore, we returned to defend."
"Good idea."
Leng Tingtao touched his palms and was silent for a long time. He felt that his uncle's idea seemed more stable. Although there was no military success, there were no additional risks. It was more conducive to preserving strength. He could sit back and watch the remaining sects wax and wane.
When the battle situation has been decided, we can move around on both sides of the Tuojiang River and harvest some grass and grain.
As for Jiang Feng, his thoughts are quite contradictory. He hopes that he and the Qianshan Sect will die soon, but also hopes that they can persist for a longer time. In this way, even if he is sitting here, they can share the pressure they bear, just like Chi Zhongyu
Fish, let me rejoice and stir up the waves here, in exchange for peace here.
…………
The journey back initially went smoothly.
Jiang Feng and the others continued their previous rhythm of attacking Renshou City, but during the day march, Jiang Feng took care of the speed of the spiritual level monks and properly conserved their spiritual power in case of any danger.
Facts proved that my decision was right.
Before Jiang Feng could smell the slightest bit of water vapor in the Pantuo River, he saw a person coming from afar in a swaggering manner, getting closer and closer, stirring up waves of air as he flew quickly, without concealing his whereabouts.
This guy is really a ostentatious person.
Jiang Feng stabilized his body, it was already too late to dodge. He called everyone to line up on the left and right, and protected the weaker ones behind him, waiting for that person to approach.
"Are you Jiang Feng?"
The visitor was nine feet tall, with three feet of black hair tied up and down. He had bright moon-like eyes, fair complexion, and a brave and heroic look in his eyebrows. Even Wei Ruoguang, who had such a majestic appearance in the Qianshan Sect Formation, could not compare to him.
What a handsome man!
Unfortunately, he was an enemy rather than a friend. Jiang Feng recognized that this person was Jindan Yang Qingze, the proud disciple of Yuanying Gongye Kai.
"Is it you, Xiaoxiao, who robbed our Renshou City?" The golden elixir made a tour and finally locked onto Jiang Feng, the only prefecture-level monk in the team.
