"I am willing to join the Qianshan Sect." Gu Yansi said before Jiang Feng could say anything.
"Oh?" Jiang Feng originally wanted to persuade me, but now he was choked back. He couldn't help but joke, "Well, tell me why you want to join the Qianshan Sect?"
"First, the Qianshan Sect doesn't have many talents. If I join, I can fully demonstrate my talents and prevent them from being buried. Second, I'm still young, and you, Master Jiang, are also young. We can get along well with each other, and there won't be too many differences between us.
Barrier; thirdly, I made a divination for myself, and traveling north is a sign of prosperity. I believe that the Qianshan Sect will not treat me badly and can give me a good position."
"Tell the truth." This restless guy was obviously talking nonsense, and there was no sign of blushing at all.
"You arrested my whole family, of course I can only follow you." Gu Yansi shrugged his shoulders and snorted helplessly, "Look, if you have to be frank, it will ruin the atmosphere too much.
What? Even if the result is the same, you also like to listen, and I can also comfort myself. Isn’t it the best of both worlds? "
"Although I don't know you well, I think you have some talent. The Asayama Sect is indeed in a position to employ people..."
"Let's be honest, what position will you give me? Is there any elder position left? How much is the annual salary?"
"The position of elder is available, but you need to prove yourself. As for the salary, it is not much, but it should be much better than watching the city gate in Renshou City. You are not from a monk family, and you are not a disciple of the Fourth Academy.
It must be extremely difficult for Ondera to get ahead, right?"
"As long as you wait, there will always be a chance. If I had been smarter and thought of a way to capture you alive, it would have been a great achievement." When talking about this, Gu Yansi's eyes shone, "But it's useless to say this.
Even if I had to start over, I might not be able to seize this opportunity. If I can get to a high level of foundation building and take risks, I might have a slight chance of winning."
"As long as you understand."
Jiang Feng likes Gu Yansi's temperament of being unwilling to fail, seemingly accepting the situation, but always ready to turn the tables. This is in line with his theory of taking advantage of the situation. It has to be said that Jiang Feng sees a little bit of himself in this man.
Shadow, it's just that this guy's methods are better than mine, and he's a little more proactive in the face of fate.
"The reason for interrogating me must be that the overall situation has been decided, right?"
"Peace will be negotiated soon."
"How much longer?"
"Two days."
"Then now is the most dangerous time."
"I think so too, do you have any ideas?" Jiang Feng felt more and more that Gu Yansi was his other self. He had similar worries about the current situation, but there was no suitable countermeasure for the time being. The only decision he could make was
Withdrew from the two newly acquired cities, temporarily returned to his own territory to avoid trouble, relied on the geographical advantages, and waited for the warring parties to negotiate a peace.
"I'm being held here. I don't know the information about my comings and goings, so I can't judge."
Jiang Feng then told everyone what happened during this period one by one, but concealed all the details that were not suitable for disclosure.
"You are hiding something from me. Some causes and effects are difficult to justify." Unexpectedly, although Gu Yansi was dumbfounded when listening, he was actually thinking about it in his mind, and soon discovered the loophole, "But this is not important. We lack trust between each other."
Under the circumstances, it is understandable that some details are concealed. I guess that Jinguang Pavilion will launch a sneak attack soon."
"Why?"
"They suffered a loss at your hands, but did not get any benefits, and there is no suitable reason to break up their alliance with Tianyin Temple, so they can only ask for it through the Qianshan Sect in disguise."
"You mean, in just two days, they are going to attack our Qianshan Sect?"
"No, no, the Qianshan Sect's territory is not of much value. Now that we have decided to negotiate peace, some territorial disputes are no longer important, not to mention that the Qianshan Sect and Jinguang Pavilion are not adjacent to each other. In addition, at this time, rashly from Xiling County
Going north, it is easy to be surrounded by the Jincheng Alliance forces returning from the east. From what I see, they may want your people?"
"My people?"
"Yes! Master Jiang, didn't you use Song Zixun to exchange for the captured monks from Lelin Sect? Then they can follow the same pattern and find a way to capture you and the Qianshan Sect, exchange for the occupied city of Tianyin Temple, and then occupy
For their own, or to demand war compensation. You must know that the biggest loser in this war is actually Tianyin Temple, followed by Tianluomen, and Jinguang Pavilion, apart from losing some monks, just happened to be on the same front as the loser.
.”
"As you speculate, what arrangements should I make now?" Jiang Feng thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind, but he wanted to know what Gu Yansi had in mind.
"The best strategy is always to attack. If you have the strength, just attack directly. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. The next best thing is to set up an ambush and capture a few monks from Jinguang Pavilion. Then in the
On the negotiation table, I think we can at least strive for more compensation. As for the territory, Tianyin Temple will not use its city to exchange for the monks of Jinguang Pavilion."
"I don't want to put the monks in the sect in danger anymore. The Qianshan Sect has already suffered a lot of losses." Jiang Feng didn't want to fight anymore. Many of the elites he brought out of the sect died, and the rest were very tired. At this time, he would start a war rashly.
To fight a life and death battle is tantamount to digging one's own grave.
"Moreover, if the battle situation becomes chaotic, will you run away?"
Gu Yan
He blushed for the first time, but he quickly covered it up by wiping his sweat, "Since Master Jiang is unwilling to take risks, just pretend that I didn't say anything, and there is a better option, which is to retreat to Luochuan immediately, as I said before
, Jinguang Pavilion will not take the risk to attack far away and lead the main force northward. After all, the peace talks are right in front of us, and the Eastern Front troops of the Jincheng Alliance are very close to here. The only thing they can do is to take them by surprise and strike with thunder."
"In that case, what about the middle strategy?"
"The central strategy is to meet the eastern front troops of the alliance and join them. This way we can preserve our strength and avoid military disasters. If the main force of the alliance moves westward, any benefits gained will not be in vain."
"Leaving tonight?"
"The night is long and there are many dreams. I suggest you set out at night and take all the monks here, leaving no one behind. The ordinary people are of no use to Jinguang Pavilion. This place is barren and the only profit lies in the trade route itself. They have no interest in plundering."
"Okay. I'll listen to you once." Gu Yansi's suggestion was exactly what Jiang Feng was thinking. Originally, Jiang Feng wanted to take the opportunity to follow the northern part of the Qing Yu Sect and cross the border into the territory of the Jincheng Sect. Now that he thinks about it, this is certainly safer.
, but it will cause some displeasure to Su Liqing, and the reason is also far-fetched.
Jiang Feng stepped forward quickly and tore off the soul-sealing talisman on Gu Yansi's body with his own hands, "There were originally several monks in Tianyin Temple who joined our Qianshan Sect. You can get acquainted with them first, and wait until you return to Luochuan.
, I have another important task for you."
So he ordered to march all night.
Not only the monks who went south to join the war, but also the guard Wei Jie who was guarding here, and a group of subordinates, including several low-level monks from the Changning Chamber of Commerce, also set out together. The excuse to the outside world was to move the town to Hongshan and Pu.
In South Second Town, there must be spies from Jinguang Pavilion in the city. In order to avoid leaks, Jiang Feng did not give the order again until he left the city and turned seven or eight miles southwest, speeding up and changing direction to the south. After another seven or eight miles, he changed direction again.
Go straight to the southeast and head toward Zhuqiao City.
"Master, where are we going?" Wu Tiande, who was a little confused and courageous, couldn't help but rush to the front army and asked.
"To avoid the military disaster, there may be a night attack on Jinguang Pavilion tonight."
"Any information?"
"Not yet, it's Gu Yansi's idea." Jiang Feng deliberately pointed at Gu Yansi beside him. He believed in the other person's judgment, and this was Gu Yansi's opportunity to show off.
At the foundation level, it is difficult to give him too important a position, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to be convinced.
"Wang Yi said that you are very dishonest." Wu Tiande did not lose his momentum just because he had not reached the Xuan level.
"The same goes for you." Gu Yansi obviously also deceived many trivial matters within the sect from Wang Yi, including Wu Tiande, who had a "good" reputation.
The two of them rolled their eyes at each other and went back to town. Jiang Feng chuckled in his heart and did not make any comment. In this war, the Qianshan Sect lost many monks, but it also recruited many. After this, the collision of various forces,
It is inevitable, and I can only judge all this with a fair heart.
It is impossible to be absolutely fair, especially since the descendants of many families rooted in the Qianshan Sect are still the mainstream in the sect, but if you want to convince everyone, talent, loyalty, and contribution to the sect are the key points.
The most perfect yardstick.
The Qianshan Sect finally stayed in Muyun Town, sixty-five miles north of Zhuqiao City, not because they lacked the physical strength to continue, but because there was a line of defense set up by the Qingyu Sect, although there were only two foundation-building monks and four practitioners.
Qi monks, but the sentry nearby can quickly release the signal of enemy attack. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Jiang Feng sent people to communicate with him, but they could only stay outside the town. Fortunately, they sent spiritual wine to feed the soldiers, which was considered
They cared about each other's face and did not harm the harmony.
Jiang Feng didn't sleep that night, but he still didn't wait for Zheng Yiyu's information. The morning light showed, but Jianxing came to visit.
"Master, I worked out a resettlement plan for the nine thousand ordinary people with Hongzhi and Elder Wei all night long." He took out a small booklet, with outlines on it, and set supplementary plans for each county and town.
The quota of people can be said to be an "apportionment" plan.
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Feng glanced at it. Although he was moved, he was not very satisfied with this plan. Although apportionment can solve the problem, it will also cause all kinds of problems to appear in every county and town throughout the territory.
To deal with such a problem, the three towns in the west were evacuated and the human settlement to the north of Tianyin Temple was already a big move. Now the whole territory has to be moved. Even if it does not cause a civil uprising, it still needs strong suppression.
Jian Xing and Wei Ruoguang are both skilled warriors. The former also has his own strategies for appeasing the emotions of the refugees, but when it comes to managing the sect and handling general affairs, he is obviously a layman. After the war, the nine thousand ordinary people will be divided into three batches, starting from the west.
From the time point of view of Lingjun entering the Qianshan Sect, a plan must be made within seven or eight days, which can be considered an urgent matter.
Put away the plan, we still need to find people who are good at general affairs to take care of the general affairs. The previous arrangement of Tianyin Temple and the others was made by me before the battle. I already felt that it was inappropriate, but I was eager to merge the towns of Hongshan and Punan into the Qianshan Sect.
, has become a fait accompli, so he can only take this urgent strategy. Jiang Feng plans to return to Luochuan once the peace talks are over to discuss with Wei Ruoqi, the general deacon, to decide the matter. According to recent investigations, the human monk Song Yuanyuan is also good, but after all, he
He is a new member of the Qianshan Sect and only has the sixth level of Qi training. If he is hastily appointed as a general deacon, even if he ranks second, he may not be able to serve the public. As for this campaign,
, Zheng Luda, the general affairs elder who lacks initiative in planning, although Jiang Feng has no good destination in mind, "retirement" is a foregone conclusion.
Send everyone away, leaving only the sight.
"You can't follow me to Zhuqiao City, it's very dangerous. Although Tianyin Temple is the loser, I'm worried that they, together with Jinguang Pavilion, will make trouble for you in the alliance. When the time comes, because you have just joined the sect, you will not be able to
It is difficult to identify the proof of defection, and I am also worried that they will use some despicable and shady means to deal with you before the alliance."
"Thank you, Master, for considering me." Jian Xing said, "Tianyin Temple is not a concern. They naturally don't want me to fall into the hands of Jinguang Pavilion. The only person they are worried about is the Jinguang Pavilion family, and it was all because Song Zixun was killed in front of the formation.
A mysterious case that I have caught. So, I will choose another hiding place and hide there for a few days."
"I would rather resolve this matter completely. At least in a short period of time, they will not be able to find you. Do you have any belongings left in the hands of the sect or the Jinguang Pavilion?" Jiang Feng had already thought about it beforehand.
It is better to place it there simply because he is worried that if he left something behind in the sect, it will be divined by the other party and his secret will be exposed.
"Are you worried about divination?"
"That's true."
"I have my own way to interfere with the general level of divination. Kuji Temple has always been a simple family, and I don't have anything left in the sect. You don't need to worry about this, headmaster."
Jiang Feng saw a string of bright red lacquer rosary tied around his waist, which seemed to have been carried with him for many years, so he asked for it and asked Jian Xing to cast a spell to interfere with divination, but he casually took a bald writing brush from the front of the case.
Bite your finger, smear it on it, close your eyes and recite the mantra softly, and the wet blood will turn into red and black lines, completely natural.
Jiang Feng took a picture of the brush, threw it outside the tent, arranged the ceremony casually, and used "Borrowing Objects to Transform into Shadows". As the gray fog gradually dissipated, the scene outside the tent was indeed revealed, but a figure loomed over the brush.
, it is the outline of Jian Xing, his face is gray and gloomy, as if his life is not long.
"The method is good!" Jiang Feng felt relieved.
"The master's methods are also extraordinary." Seeing Jiang Feng's divination with his own eyes, he suddenly understood the reason why Jiang Feng wanted to try it himself. "If I knew that you, master, had such methods, I would have known you as soon as I saw you.
I’ll find a way to ask you about Hongzhi’s whereabouts.”
"But I won't tell you." Jiang Feng smiled and threw the rosary beads back, "You will set off now, pass through the Jincheng sect, return to the sect from Donghu County, and then lurk in Chumen Town until I turn around. Sixty three pieces
Do you have it on your body?"
"Originally, there was none, but I tied up Song Zixun before and got some extravagant money."
"Remember to erase any traces of Song Zixun's things." Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that this might also be a loophole that could be used for divination.
Seeing his nature, he threw all the things out, but when he saw that these six magic weapons were shining with a faint purple light under the "Exquisite Treasure Light", they were indeed not ordinary. Thinking that Song Zixun was indeed favored by Qin Jiuzhen, Jiang Feng fell in love with him.
Take a breath of air-conditioning. With such a quantity, it is really difficult for Song Zixun to really forget and ignore this matter.
Take the photo in your hand, use the "Hand of Tracelessness" to manipulate it, speed up the destruction of the soul imprint on it, and then hand it over to Jian Xing for a little refinement. Time is tight, and Jian Xing can't stay in Chumen Town that long, so he can only help.
But his eyes flickered when he saw it, and his hand holding the magic weapon actually trembled slightly.
"Master, you are not very good at fighting, but your other methods are quite clever."
He is really a straight-tempered person, and his degree of arrogance is no different from that of Hongzhi. The corners of Jiang Feng's mouth twitched, but without saying a word, his hands changed rapidly until he threw the last magic weapon to Jian Xing, "Keep some for your junior brother, and go to Chu."
Menzhen, we may not be able to see each other for a long time."
"I understand." Jian Xing seemed to have been prepared and picked out two magical weapons. "The master will give these two pieces to my junior brother Hongzhi for me, but I must tell him not to rely on the power of the magical weapons."
, ruined the orthodoxy of my Kuji Temple. As for this one," he picked out another small knife from it, "I think it is very suitable for you, the leader, so I will leave it to you."
"I'm determined."
Jiang Feng was not polite, he picked up the flying knife that was shrouded in gray aura, put it into the storage bag without looking at it carefully, and put it together with the cold jade bamboo flute he got from Song Zixun last time. In fact, he had already seen that
, this knife is one of the highest quality among all the magic weapons.
"Let's go, time is running out, and we need to settle down here. I will go back to Chumen Town before the peace talks. You and I will leave separately. The target is much smaller. There may be spies from Jinguang Pavilion around Zhuqiao Town."
After having breakfast anxiously, Jiang Feng finally received the belated news.
"The disciple of our sect was killed, so there was no news. A large number of monks appeared near Xiling County last night and dispersed after half an hour."
Sure enough, Jinguang Pavilion really had a night attack plan. Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then walked around the camp, sat there until the sun was high in the sky, and called Wei Ruoguang and Wang Yi.
"I'm leaving for a while."
He threw Wang Yi a piece of black and white fur, which was the rare thing obtained from the Whale Sea Islands. He put it on Wang Yi, and immediately he showed an aura comparable to that of the earth, "You stay in the tent and pretend to be me until I
Return. Ruoguang, everything here will be arranged by you. Even though we are in the hinterland of the Qing Yu Sect, we must not slack off at all."
