"To put it bluntly, Bai Shiduo was just a fence-sitting sect who was looking out for the wind. At first, the former head Zhu Qianmu was surrounded by enemies, and Yu Jingfeng went to the southwest to resist the Yefan army. The Bai family neither followed with all their strength nor fought tooth and nail.
He went to save the leader, and waited until the dust settled before rushing to the front line to provide support, which shows that he had other thoughts in his heart." Chu Yiming said eloquently, "Now, the sect is divided into two parts.
The faction, Yu Jingfeng and the leader Zhu Zhenluo each have supporters. Although he seems to be on Yu Jingfeng's side, he is actually a two-faced man."
"Isn't there Assistant Master Mu Yangqing here?" Jiang Feng thought of this pseudo-heaven-level monk who was called "Uncle Qing" in the Li Zong Sect. His reputation was even vaguely compared to that of "Uncle Feng".
Above Yu Jingfeng.
"After the leader Zhu Zhenluo got married, he resigned from most of his posts and only retained his title. Moreover, Master Qing never made friends. In addition to continuing to support the leader in major matters, he was unwilling to participate in this
A struggle for rights.”
"In other words, Bai Shiduo's thoughts are not necessarily Yu Jingfeng's will?"
"It's possible, but I can't say for sure. Speaking of which, our Chu family has been managing the spiritual land and there are not many people who hold important positions in the major cities within the territory. Therefore, we can only stand firmly on the side of the leader. Therefore, for
There is no way to speculate on Bai Shiduo's true thoughts, but judging from the seriousness of the matter, it should be Yu Jingfeng's intention. Otherwise, with Bai Shiduo's cultivation and status within the sect, he should not be qualified to know these secrets. The reason why I
Let me remind you, neither Bai Shiduo nor Yu Jingfeng can necessarily represent the will of Li Zong. This point is very important for Qianshan Sect, which is adjacent to Li Zong."
"I see."
Nowadays, the strength of the Qianshan Sect has increased compared to before, and because it is ranked in the Jincheng League, it must have been included in the sight of the powerful sect. The original contempt will inevitably come after the Jincheng League defeated Tianyin Temple.
There will be some changes. Under this situation, how to deal with the relationship between the two sects is bound to be an issue that the leader must consider carefully in advance.
Jiang Feng has no idea about Li Zong. The opponent's strength is there. Therefore, forming a good relationship is still the first choice and an inevitable choice. However, how to choose between these two forces still needs to be carefully weighed.
.
From a clear perspective, he is the son-in-law of the Bai family, so he should naturally stand with Bai Shiduo, and then become friends with Yu Jingfeng's group. Judging from the past, Yu Xiaoman and Yu Xiaozheng of the Yu family also have some differences with him.
They are old friends, but Chu Yiming's reminder is nothing more than a warning to himself that Bai Shiduo is unreliable. Moreover, as the head Zhu Zhenluo takes charge of Li Zong longer, whether he will have a greater conflict with Yu Jingfeng is also a question.
The question is, when the time comes, whether this internal conflict will affect the relationship between the Li Sect and the Qianshan Sect is hard to say.
Although there is the Jincheng Alliance as the backing, it is still the Qianshan Sect that faces Li Zong. Not to mention the war, if Li Zong cuts off all eastward trade routes, then... Jiang Feng does not dare to think deeply about it. Fortunately, this matter is not a problem for the time being.
It didn't happen, but it was enough to attract attention. If there is a chance, we should find a way to meet the new head Zhu Zhenluo. Unlike the heaven-level monk Zhu Qianmu back then, who was also an earth-level monk, there should be no pressure when he wanted to meet him.
big.
"Besides the Chu family, who else is on the leader's side?"
"The Xiao family."
I seem to have missed something. I could have had both sides. Jiang Feng's mouth twitched. Fortunately, if there is a conflict, the Chu family's status should also be able to help negotiate peace. Thinking about this, most of the worries in his heart disappeared, and he asked Zhong Shan
The previous matter of gathering together the old Lelin Sect members.
Speaking of this, Chu Yiming was in a good mood. During Zhongshan's trip, he gathered five Xuan-level monks and more than two hundred people from their relatives, including fifteen spiritual-level monks. These people are already here
Chu Yiming works as an errand, and some monks have joined Li Sect. In this way, he can get two salaries at the same time, thereby improving his situation. Because of this, Chu Yiming's status in the Chu family has increased, and the Chu family has also increased.
There are many benefits.
"In the long run, there is only one worry." Regarding Jiang Feng, Chu Yiming had no hidden thoughts, "I originally relied on the children of my mother's family, the Zhao family, but now I have added the Zhong family. Although it is a bit more balanced, it is all external forces after all.
, but the Chu family is still in decline."
“Worried about taking over the spotlight?”
"It doesn't matter in the short term, but if the problem drags on for a long time, there may be this trouble." Chu Yiming said, "Now that the head of the family and I are at the prefecture level, we may still be able to control it. If one day the old incident of Chu Anlan happens,
Then everything will probably go back to the way it was before.”
"Isn't it reliable to rely on in-laws to win over you?"
"I can't marry Wen Yin, can I?" Chu Yiming smiled, "Then it's up to you.
What should we do with Si Guanghao, who is the servant of Shanzong? Speaking of which, there are not many female cultivators in the Chu family, and secular marriages may not be taken seriously." Speaking of this, Chu Yiming sighed slightly, "The only hope now is
I hope that Chu Yilin can reach the high level of the prefectural level as soon as possible, so that the affiliated families will still be loyal and waiting for orders. Only after a few years, a leader will emerge from the new generation of the Chu family, and everything will be fine."
"How is your brother Yi Guang's character?"
"Loyal, but not wise."
"You find a secluded place for him, and I'll help him wake up."
"That's very good." Chu Yiming's eyes lit up, "I had forgotten that you had this weird ability. Although it is of no use in the short term, this news is exciting enough. But, how should I explain it?"
"You said that you were looking for the elixir from Baiyao Laoxian, and I helped to arrange it. Many people know that you and I are good friends, so it's not a big problem. Baiyao Laoxian is now hiding in seclusion to practice, and there won't be any in the short term.
Show up."
"The name of Baiyao Laoxian should be enough to win your trust. I will send someone to make preparations immediately."
"Use people from the Zhao family."
"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Chu Yiming thought for a moment, as if he had already made a calculation in his mind, and then showed worry again, "It's not appropriate for you to go to Whale Sea Islands and only have the means to save your life. If
If you have a suitable killing weapon at your side, it is best to be able to raise one or two."
"In dealing with the pseudo-celestial beings and Nascent Soul, ordinary magic weapons may not be able to cope with it."
"No, you misunderstood. The killing weapon is not for killing the opponent, but for self-protection. Exposing it will make others think that you are very troublesome and cannot be solved in a short time. They may give up. After all,
They came here to seek that first-class way of heaven, and to deal with you, they are just taking advantage of you and doing nothing."
"You wait for me at the house, and I'll go find Shangguan Bashuang. He may have some inventory that I can borrow."
"Will he relent?"
"Don't worry." Chu Yiming patted his slightly bulging belly, "Xiu Qi hasn't unloaded the goods yet, so he won't refuse to borrow them. Moreover, I also shared with him the previous investigation results on smuggling and trafficking. Now,
We are in the same boat, and we need to work together to ensure safety. In addition, there is one thing I must tell you. Recently, six more batches of goods have been delivered to Hokuriku. The scale is far larger than the previous standard, and may be sold soon. Do you want to
I want to see what this means?"
"It means they are short of money."
"Yes. Your analysis is correct. When will you be short of money?"
"Prepare for war, or a big war is coming." Jiang Feng came to the conclusion without thinking carefully.
"Originally, I didn't care. After all, I don't need to do anything, and there are spiritual stones to get, so why bother thinking so much? But from what you said today, it's probably the same thing. So, you are crossing the sea this time.
You must stake all your wealth to ensure your safe return."
Makes sense...
Watching Chu Yiming leave the mansion, Jiang Feng thought for a moment, but his mood became increasingly uneasy. Chu Yiming was right. Such a big battle really needed to be given enough attention. Thinking about this, he also left the Chu mansion.
Go straight to the nearest talisman shop.
…………
In Zhenwucheng, the Xiao family ancestral hall is filled with the scent of sandalwood.
Xiao Mingzhen was ranked among the Xiao family's children, and her position was neither advanced nor backward. The day before yesterday, she was suddenly called back to worship her ancestors. Originally, it was extremely difficult to apply for leave to leave the Longxiang Army and return to the clan to worship their ancestors. However, the Xiao family still
Did it.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
She thought of this sentence for no reason. Originally, she thought that the Long Xiang Army would change its old habits and eliminate the old problems of big families intervening, which led to mixed personnel, weak military discipline, and difficulty in controlling it. But now it seems that this expectation may be in vain.
Well, although things have changed, apart from swearing to be loyal to the leader and the sect, there have not been many changes. At least this change is gradually shrinking, and maybe one day, it will return to the old appearance.
People are still the same people, and things are still the same. As He Fangqiu, who has been promoted to squadron lieutenant officer, said, radical changes will only happen after the storm.
However, the familiar yet unfamiliar ancestral hall in front of her immediately made her think of another person, the person she once held hands with and visited here late at night. She didn't know how this courageous and heartless person was doing, whether he thought of himself or not.
Surrounded by other beauties, he was immersed in joy. His thoughts were flying, and the figures in front of him crowded again, and another family member entered the ancestral hall.
This year's worship seems to be more grand than in previous years, she thought, and it's not a normal day either.
…………
Jiang Feng didn't expect that he would meet Xiao Buyan, a member of the Xiao family, on the street. He originally planned to say hello and sneak in, but unexpectedly the other person was so enthusiastic that he was a little flustered.
This is not Xiao Buyan's style.
It wasn't until he was pulled to the "Jixiangju" restaurant that Jiang Feng confirmed that Xiao Buyan was indeed sincere. This luxurious private room occupied the best position in the restaurant. There were twelve monks on the left and right, except Ding Ruo, the lord of Zhenwu City whom he recognized.
Apart from Qian, although I don't know anyone else, there are two earth-level monks, the rest are at least in the middle of the Xuan-level, and there is even a human golden elixir.
What kind of battle is this?
And most importantly, the first seat is still empty.
For a moment, he was in a daze. If he invited himself to a small gathering, it wouldn't be such a big pomp. This was in the Li Sect, not the Qian Shan Sect. A feeling of overestimating the guests and taking the lead arose spontaneously. He even wanted to retreat immediately. After all,
Compared to an inexplicable banquet, it is more important to seize the time to find some life-saving talismans.
"Today is the day when I, Xiao Buyan, and Jiang Feng, the leader of Jiang, become brothers of the opposite sex. Please bear witness." Xiao Buyan invited Jiang Feng to the main seat, introduced Jiang Feng enthusiastically one by one, and then raised his wine glass.
, which brings out today’s theme.
"Cooperate, remember to cooperate!"
Jiang Feng remembered what Xiao Buyan had repeatedly warned and threatened, so he could only pick up the wine glass with a smile, joy on his face, and touched the wine glasses with everyone one by one, "Please take care of me in the future!"
The cups and plates are in a mess.
Jiang Feng felt that he had not drunk much, but his hand that wanted to put away the tea stems floating in the cup was not so flexible. The night pearls on the four walls shone brightly, cold and lonely, dispersing the hustle and bustle that still lingered in his heart. Here is
A closed secret room is located in the backyard of "Jixiangju". Although the privacy is not as good as that of a professional club, the quality of the water system sound insulation cover is also first-rate.
"Tell me about it!"
Jiang Feng quietly touched the ancient treasure. He seemed unhappy about doing such a small thing. The Tower of Eternity immediately made a turbulent wave in the sea of consciousness. Only then did Jiang Feng's mind become clearer. He had to say, "Good luck."
The spirit wine of "Ju" tastes good. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would even want to pack a copy for Yuan Guangrong. You want to find the spirit wine for him to stay in the Qianshan Sect for a long time, so why not get it from nearby? There is Xiao
Don’t be tired of giving money.
"I don't want to either. What are the benefits of becoming a brother of the opposite sex with you? But whether you like it or not, things are already like this. Don't think too much. It's obviously me who suffers, okay?"
"Another order from your ancestor?" Looking back on the previous scene, the Xiao family seemed to want to make the whole city aware of their extraordinary relationship with the Xiao family.
"I don't know either, so I can't talk nonsense."
"Okay." Looking at Xiao Buyi's stinky face that seemed to owe him a lot of spiritual stones, it was obvious that he was also forced to do so. It might be difficult to get something out of him, so Jiang Feng gave up the plan of questioning and immediately said
But a figure appeared in front of me, "How is Xiao Ming really?"
"I worship my ancestors today, and she came back yesterday."
"Can I meet you?" The remaining drunkenness surged up, and Jiang Feng felt a little hot all over his body, and strange emotions arose that were difficult to control, as if something white and flowery was dangling in front of his eyes, lingering.
"You can't." Xiao Buyi glanced at Jiang Feng with an ugly expression, "Remember, it won't be possible for a short time. I'm here to remind you of this."
"Why?"
"You don't lack women, so why are you asking so many questions?" Xiao Buyan's bad temper came again, "That's it. Remember, if someone asks you about our relationship, remember not to say anything wrong."
"good."
"Gone."
Xiao Buyan actually left just like that, leaving Jiang Feng sitting alone in the secret room. Until the alcohol was gone, Jiang Feng didn't think clearly about the connection between the banquet and not being able to see Xiao Mingzhen, but fortunately
Now that we have a special bond with the Xiao family, the issue of which side I was worried about before has been solved invisibly.
Having both sides, this is what Jiang Feng expected.
"Sir, please settle the bill." After leaving the secret room and about to go out from the front hall, Jiang Feng was stopped.
Pooh!
As for the opposite-sex brothers they had promised, Jiang Feng felt extremely unhappy, so he had to take out the spirit stone. When he reached the street, it was already dark. Jiang Feng did not hesitate and went straight to the nearest market. In addition to buying spiritual talismans, Jiang Feng
, he had to first identify the three unclear names of the talismans that Bai Shiduo gave him.
