Five hundred and seventeenth chapter vaguely uneasy
"If Chixiamen wants to join the alliance, it must first clear up its historical debts. This is necessary." When talking about this topic, Zheng Jiasheng showed a gloomy expression, as if he was determined to win. "Not only must we clear up, but we must also compensate. Jiang
Sect leader, on this point, our sects must always be consistent. Tianli Sect has been moving frequently recently, and Zeng Baoxian felt the pressure, so he wanted to come here to provide shade, but it is not that easy."
"The reason why I came to visit your sect is to be consistent with everyone. Before, Headmaster Zheng took care of our sect many times in the alliance. Therefore, we will naturally follow your advice on this matter." Hearing the voice of the Zheng family.
When Tianlimen was mentioned, Jiang Feng was even more sure of what he was thinking. Sure enough, every move of Chixiamen was not without purpose.
The reason why Jiang Feng agreed with Zheng Jiasheng was, on the one hand, because of the "distance and close attack" strategy set by Gu Yansi in the matter. Maintaining friendship with the Biyun Sect would help enhance the Qianshan Sect's voice in the alliance. For those with a small amount of bordering territory,
The Huanglong Sect should remain relatively friendly, while the Jincheng Sect and the Qingyu Sect should be on alert to prevent them from using their advantageous geographical conditions to cannibalize the existing talents and development potential of the Qianshan Sect; on the other hand, Jiang Feng has
The purpose of the trip is also to find out the reasons behind Biyun Sect's repeated goodwill. In addition, I might be able to investigate the matters Gong Yekai entrusted me with here.
"Headmaster Jiang is too polite. It's nothing to worry about. I have long been optimistic about the Qianshan Sect joining the alliance. Facts have proved that the entry of the Guizong into the alliance will not only bring in external resources, but also contribute to the victory of the Tianyin Temple battle.
They all played a very crucial role." The solemnity on Zheng Jiasheng's face disappeared in an instant, and he said politely, "Now that your two sects have established separate courtyards for each other, we will have more contacts and support each other in the future, although the east-west trade routes are not
It’s considered prosperous, but it also shows that it has huge potential.”
"Yes, Master Zheng and I want to work together on this," Jiang Feng smiled. "Now that the war has stopped, it is time to reconsider these general affairs. Speaking of which, our Jincheng Alliance can defeat Tianyin Temple.
The sect also made a lot of sacrifices on the Eastern Front. Looking back now, when Tianyin Temple expressed its goodwill through you, we should have made preparations in advance, and maybe we could have suffered less losses."
"I don't believe in goodwill. Not only I don't believe it, but Su Liqing and Wan Yuting don't believe it either." Speaking of this, Zheng Jiasheng suddenly became interested, "The reason Tongguang gave at that time was just a personal grudge, which is not enough.
To win the trust, all three of us saw his ambition. Going north was of little significance to him. Leader Wan once told us that when the Qing Yu Sect was first established, Tongguang fought with him but did not use all his strength. It can be seen that
At that time, he had already had the idea to take advantage of the opportunity of resisting the Qing Emperor Yuzong to unify the homeland of the Wei State in the future, so he even allowed us to occupy this territory. Because of this, after receiving their ultimatum, everything
The leader of the alliance just went with the flow and started a direct war."
"So, the information I provided later was indeed of little value." Jiang Feng laughed at himself, "It turns out that you and the alliance leader have already had a plan."
"Well, I was just messing around. The leader of the alliance felt that the information you provided was of some value at the time, especially the disciple Qin Jiuzhen sent by the other party, which showed that he was very determined. At that time, he was able to divide his troops and go their separate ways. This hostage
It has played a decisive role, which also proves that Tongguang has not changed its original intention, which is basically consistent with our guess."
"But Tianyin Temple actually issued the ultimatum first. It was bold to think about it. Later Hongzhi defected to me, and I realized that their so-called excuses were all made up." Jiang Feng naturally couldn't say that Hongzhi was always in his hands, although now that he thought about it, he could
When he met Hongzhi, it was because Tongguang ordered him to leave the sect and find another place to hide. At that time, the weapon spirit Black Whale happened to cause trouble, so Hongzhi accidentally followed him to the Qianshan Sect.
"We did kill their people, and the incident occurred in the old cemetery south of Fuyun City." Zheng Jiasheng whispered, "But I guess Tongguang sent it here on purpose."
"Did you do it?"
"How is that possible?" Zheng Jiasheng had a sad and gloating expression on his face, "The area near Fuyun City was already handed over to the Qing Yu Sect when we joined the alliance. That place seems to be very important to Wan Yu Pavilion. I once
I asked Chen Kun, but he refused to tell me."
It must have been that strange tomb. Jiang Feng immediately remembered that old incident. He finally entrusted the middleman Yin Du to handle the matter. Only then did he resolve the misunderstanding caused by the exquisite jade talisman. Speaking of which, that
The tomb should contain people who were extremely important to Wan Yuting. Therefore, even if the territories of various sects were re-divided, he did not abandon Fuyun City.
"Is it Faye or Yuanzhen?"
"I don't know about this. It's none of my business. The area around Fuyun City has always been strange. Otherwise, I wouldn't have abandoned it and moved to Yunmai City. However, this is also because the spiritual land near Fuyun City is about to be hollowed out.
For this reason, Master Jiang should not imitate me on this point."
"I understand, understand. Who doesn't have some difficulties?"
Seeing Zheng Jiasheng's "you know" smile, Jiang Feng knew that the other party had heard about his digging for spiritual veins near Dongting Town. He thought that if he mobilized troops and mobilized people, he couldn't hide it from anyone, so he didn't care about the other party's teasing, thinking about the other party in his heart.
Whether Zheng Jiasheng's words are true or not, since Zheng Jiasheng said that he was not involved, it is probably true, otherwise he would not mention it calmly. Thinking about it this way, only the other three families have the possibility of taking action.
"The body hasn't been found yet, right? It's really a mystery."
"Why, Master Jiang is interested
interest?"
"I'm just interested in their storage bags, I'm so poor." Jiang Feng laughed at himself.
"Most likely he is dead, otherwise he would have returned to the sect long ago. When we exchanged the dead monks, they asked for it from us. We said we didn't know, and they didn't delve into it. We have already lost every battle, so we can't have another one because of this."
It seems that Gong Yekai is also a cautious person. Now that I think about it, it may be because he is a new Nascent Soul and has no confidence in his heart. Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang, can you borrow the experience notes Su Liqing gave you from a local high-level master?
Can you give me some details?"
"Of course. But Master Zheng will have to wait for a while. I owed Bai Shiduo a favor before. I don't know why he knew about it and asked for it. It may take some time to return it." Jiang Feng thought to himself, but you want to take advantage.
But it was not convenient for me to refuse, so I casually took out Bai Shiduo as a shield, so that Zheng Jiasheng would not ask.
"It's a pity. I'll wait for a while. But why do you two, father-in-law and son-in-law, have to be so polite? Is it because of the six cities in Tianyin Temple?"
"Haha, I made you laugh."
Sooner or later, the truth about the private deal with Li Zong will be revealed. Since Zheng Jiasheng thinks this way, Jiang Feng is also happy that he thought wrongly and spread it to the ears of other people in the alliance. He asked for two cities and was forced to abandon six cities. Although
In fact, it is the same thing, but the former seems to sound better, and it can show that one has some influence in the Li Sect. This can be somewhat effective in making friends with the Biyun Sect and deterring other sects.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to continue to investigate the death of Fa Ye, but Zheng Jiasheng seemed to really not know about it. On the other hand, if he continued to ask more questions, he might be wary. He had heard that although Zheng Jiasheng was rarely quick-witted, his staff still
It's very useful. If he deduces it repeatedly afterwards, he might get some different meanings. It's better that he didn't kill him. If so, it will be more difficult to detect later.
Just as he was about to talk about something to deepen cooperation, a person who looked like a staff member came in to report and whispered a few words to Zheng Jiasheng. Zheng Jiasheng's expression changed slightly and he stood up to leave. After a while, he came back and said, "I'm really sorry.
The affairs within the sect are complicated and have kept everyone waiting for a long time."
"Master Zheng is so polite." Jiang Feng actually didn't care. Zheng Jiasheng left, just in time to talk to Sun Bangqi, the foreign affairs elder under Zheng Jiasheng. Although this person had a very strict reputation, under the "siege" of everyone, he still found out.
It seems that the messenger from Xiamen also arrived yesterday.
"Where did we talk just now?" Zheng Jiasheng took a sip of spiritual tea and said to himself, "By the way, we need to strengthen the cooperation between you and our two sects. In my opinion, not only your two sects, but also all the sects in the alliance
This is also true, cooperation can lead to win-win results.”
"That's true." Jiang Feng didn't know what he wanted to say, but he always felt like something was wrong.
"Not only within the alliance, I think the surrounding sects must also deepen cooperation. For example, Chixiamen. The materials from the North will basically be transported to our Jincheng League through Chixiamen, and then go south to the sea.
If we can bring Chixiamen into our Jincheng Alliance and reduce the barriers along the way, we will definitely be more competitive. Therefore, you and I should do our best to help deal with the matter of Chixiamen joining the alliance."
Um?
Your attitude changed a bit quickly, didn't you? Could it be that you just went out to finalize the terms of cooperation with Chixiamen? In this way, the benefits transferred by Chixiamen should be enough, so much that Zheng Jiasheng directly changed his attitude.
.
Should I agree or disagree?
"What Master Zheng said is absolutely true. We will definitely communicate with the Chixia Sect carefully about this matter." Just when he was in trouble, Gu Yansi on the side suddenly interjected and helped Jiang Feng.
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Feng also immediately felt that Gu Yansi's words were very appropriate. On the surface, he agreed, but in fact, communication still needed to be done. The initiative on how to do it was still in the hands of the Qianshan Sect. How to understand it was Zheng Jiasheng's own business.
"That's very good." Zheng Jiasheng clapped his hands and chuckled, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. The envoy of Chixia Sect is in my sect. Why don't you guys have a chat in my sect tonight? How about it?" He waved his hand,
"Elder Sun, go make arrangements!"
Jiang Feng suddenly felt bad and turned to look at everyone. Wu Quanzhong, the foreign affairs elder, also had a grimace on his face, but Gu Yansi smiled and nodded slightly to him.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Zheng, but before that, shouldn't we talk about the cooperation between your two sects first?"
"Of course. Elder Yuan Taosheng has always been responsible for our sect's general affairs, but for such trivial matters, Head Jiang, there is no need for you and I to get involved." After saying this, Zheng Jiasheng stood up first. Jiang Feng knew that he was
After seeing off the guests, he said a few polite words and then led everyone back to the guild hall. The Zheng family said they wanted to talk and would not break their promise, but his proposal to negotiate with the Chixiamen to join the alliance was really unacceptable.
"Don't worry, I have a way to resolve this matter." Gu Yansi asked Jiang Feng to play the insulation note and called everyone to discuss the details together, "You can leave here now, and leave the other three families. Aren't you planning to send us there too?
, things here, including subsequent cooperation, can be handled by just a few of us."
"You're saying that it's up to you to negotiate, but since I'm not here, it's a matter of choice whether the conditions for the negotiation are suitable or not?" Jiang Feng immediately understood the key to Gu Yansi's suggestion.
"Yes, this matter should ultimately be decided by you. This is normal. We can talk first.
Conditions, but the final decision is yours.”
"I actually don't want them to join the alliance, but as you said before, maximizing interests is the right way to prevent them from joining the alliance."
"It's just a matter of asking for a high price. It's not that we don't agree to join the alliance, but the conditions are very harsh."
"That's fine." Jiang Feng thought for a while. If it weren't for taking care of Zheng Jiasheng's face, he could lead everyone to leave now, but the cooperation with the Biyun Sect may be ruined. Due to this war, the sect's common customs have recently
The population increased sharply, but the livelihood was not much at the same time. If we could sign some purchase and sale contracts on common supplies, low-level herbs, ores, and materials, it would be a good thing for the development of the sect.
Before coming to Biyun Sect, a group of subordinates had investigated and found out that of all the families in the alliance, Biyun Sect purchased the largest amount of low-level materials outsourced by alchemy, but they originally purchased most of them from Tianlimen and Chi.
Xiamen, as well as the various sects in the North, now only need to transfer a part of their shares to the Asanshan sect. There is no price difference between the left and right, including freight and tariffs. Of course, this is why such materials cannot pass.
The reason why the chamber of commerce resells is that businessmen are seeking profits. If there is no more profit, they do not need to change their minds frequently, but if they want to make profits, they have no profits to give up.
Low-level materials are like this. Some people may be short of them, but they often cannot be sold at high prices. He only hopes that cooperation with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce can change the status quo to some extent. Thinking about this, Jiang Feng has a few more weapons for which he has high hopes.
Expectations.
So accepting Gu Yansi's suggestion, Jiang Feng explained a few more words and left quietly, heading straight to the southwest. He planned to pass through the Huanglong Sect and the Jincheng Sect, return to Chumen Town first, find Fang Jinlu, and then go straight to Li Zonglizhou with him.
City. If it were not for other purposes, Jiang Feng originally did not want to come to Biyun Sect in person. Now it seems that although he has caused direct negotiations with Chixia Sect, he has still gained something.
By the way, is Yin Du the reason why Biyun Sect is friendly with him? Jiang Feng vaguely feels that this is very possible, but what is their purpose? Ever since Yin Du mentioned that there is something he needs to do, he has
After a long time, or even beyond the deadline, the other party could not easily forget the matter. What was the reason why he did not come to find me?
Maybe they will come looking for him sooner or later. The other party has invested a lot in him and has no reason to give up. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt a little uneasy. He was about to fly straight to the west when he suddenly remembered Zheng Jianbai's invitation from Xiqi City, so he
Adjust the direction and fly straight to Xiqi City.

Sea of rocks.
A stream of light quickly passed through the sea, and the humid sea breeze ruffled Li Dabang's unfettered black hair on his temples. His face was as solemn as ink, and the events of the Dongquan Mountain case were replayed in his mind.
There is no doubt that his efforts here ultimately failed.
Oh!
It is too difficult to do something under the attention of a group of pseudo-celestial level and even heaven-level monks. This is not like in the Seven Alliance and the southern sects with conflicts and entanglements. Speaking of which, the territory of Dongquan Mountain is still Too young, the surrounding sects are all thinking together, and no one wants to go to war for this pill land. Even if I instigated it, no conflict broke out. If I hadn't been careful, I might have been trapped in it with no way to escape. .
The Earth-level realm is still far from enough, although it is much better than the Xuan-level realm. He chuckled in his heart, seeing that the northern shore of the Stone Sea was already in sight, and a small boat was leaning on the shore, probably waiting for his meeting here. Elite.
These people who have been prepared for a long time will probably not be used this time.
He was about to fall, but a warning signal suddenly occurred in his heart. He quickly activated all his spiritual power and tried to fly away, but an invisible force pulled him down, and he fell into the cabin like a piece of rotten wood.
Um?
There was no one around, only a gray shadow. He immediately recognized it as the strongest person around the sea of rocks, the heaven-level monk Lu Zhimian.
"I've seen my senior!" Although he felt vaguely uneasy, Li Dabang was not afraid. He was even less frightened than when he saw his great-grandfather Li Zhenlong.
"Pass a message for me."
"Yes!" Li Dabang did not dare to make any mistakes and lowered his head slightly, hiding it in his bloated body.
"I'm going to take the risk and give it a try."
Huh? That's it? Li Dabang naturally knew that the so-called message was meant to be conveyed to his great-grandfather through his own mouth. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the next sentence. He thought to himself, "What does this mean?" Didn't understand.
"Take this thing."
A jade box was thrown out from the shadow. It had a complicated seal on it. Li Da Bang thought he could not open it, but after taking it, something in his sleeve had an unusual reaction. This... seemed to be the breath of the source spirit. He Suddenly he remembered that he had failed to return in the earth veins under the sea of rocks, and thought that this was the fragment of the source spirit that he had missed.
He didn't know what to say, but the phantom disappeared immediately. When he looked again, there were already eight more subordinates around him. They were the six with the highest cultivation level in his guild. They all looked in a trance, as if they were in a dream. middle.
…………
"Master Jiang, I have something to ask of you."
In the Lord's Mansion of Xiqi City, Zheng Jianbai retreated to the left and right, and played a sound insulation note. The monk who had reached the sixth level of foundation building bowed his hands, making Jiang Feng a little confused.
