Pu Tiexin came to Dayi County with Wan Xuanwei. In fact, he had been waiting in Yuanyi Town, which Wan Xuanwei must pass through on his way back from Chixiamen. It was the gateway to the Seven Leagues from the Qianshan Sect, and Jianghai often passed through it.
There, they went to the distant Luoyingmen to deal with the human belongings that Jiang Feng had stolen from the treasure. Therefore, Jiang Feng was quite familiar with this name.
Yuanyi Town, in terms of natural conditions, is much better than Dayi Town. It is surrounded by less mountains and more plains, and has enough room for development. However, considering that the Qianshan Sect has separated from the protection of the patriarchal system, the Seven Alliance may covet the territory of the Qianshan Sect.
, Jiang Feng deliberately left some economically depressed areas as a buffer zone between the two, and chose Donghu County, which was farther away from Qi League, to avoid the wind.
Before Wan Xuanwei could speak, Jiang Feng sensed from Park Tiexin's solemn expression that Wan Xuanwei's results were not optimistic.
He brought a letter from Zeng Baoxian, the head of the Chixia Sect. Jiang Feng invited the two of them to sit down, opened the fire paint, and read through it carefully.
The letter is not long, only three pages. It is neatly written and signed in a different handwriting at the end. It should be a ghostwritten work. The letter was polite at first, and then stated that the Chixia Clan's intention to deal with the Asayama Sect was really a rumor.
, I am also in the fog, I don’t know where this slander comes from. Although the two sects are far apart, they are both from the ancient lineage. The demon clan believes that their ancestor is the ancient emperor. From this, they should naturally watch and help each other. Please ask Master Jiang not to
Believe the rumors and avoid harming your peace.
Mentioning the war between the Seven Alliance and Tianlimen, he hoped that Qianshan Sect could join the Chixiamen camp, and emphasized that Tianlimen was very powerful and must be the final winner. Considering that Qianshan Sect was protected by the patriarchal system and was unable to send troops,
I hope that I can help purchase a batch of materials for Chixia Sect to use urgently, and give them specific names. Jiang Feng turned to the end and checked them one by one. All listed are low-level herbs and elixirs. A few types are also produced by the Qianshan Sect, but the quantities are huge.
, the total price is ten third-level coins, which is almost equivalent to the total income of the Qianshan Sect in ten years. The letter additionally emphasized that the Chixia Sect cannot afford so much money now due to the war, and hopes to pay it off in three installments a year later, with an annual profit of 10%.
.
Ten level three coins? What is this, blackmail, or protection money?
Based on Jiang Feng's understanding of the Seven Leagues, Chixia Sect is considered a mid-range force in the Seven Leagues. It is weaker than the largest demon sect, Jincheng Sect, but much stronger than Yanqiling. In terms of income scale, twenty third-level coins a year is
Yes, this was also the level of the Qianshan Sect when the sixth-generation head Shen Ailong was in power. At that time, there were more than 60,000 ordinary people, and the mineral veins in Mingcao Mountain in the north had not yet been dug out. Starting from the seventh-generation head Shen Dejun, the Qianshan Sect went downhill all the way.
So far, it has been reduced to 20,000 people, and one level three per year is just an imaginary number. It has been spent before it can enter the treasury.
Ten third-level coins are equivalent to half a year's income of the Chixia Sect. It doesn't seem like much, but for the Qianshan Sect, it's like a lion's mouth. It's impossible for the other party not to know. Unless Jiang Feng digs up the six generations of big tombs, it's like
Just like exploring the tomb of Song Huzong at Heishuimen, if this is the case, the position of the leader will not be secure even if Chixiamen does not cause trouble.
"What else does Zeng Baoxian have to say?" Jiang Feng handed the letter to Pu Tiexin and Wan Xuanwei, "You guys should also take a look and help me with my advice." Since Wan Xuanwei was able to meet Zeng Baoxian smoothly, he might still be able to teach him face-to-face.
"Zeng Baoxian hopes to have a talk with Leader Jiang in the Hanshan Sect. If the purchase contract mentioned in the letter goes well, he hopes to deepen cooperation and talk with the Jincheng Sect to open up a road starting from Zongyuanyi Town in Qianshan and passing through
The northern part of the Jincheng Sect leads directly to the trade route of Red Flame Gate Huiyao City."
It seemed that Zeng Baoxian had no intention of hiding anything from this man. Wan Xuanwei glanced at it briefly and put the letter aside, indicating that the meaning of the letter was probably mentioned in person, "Brother Wan, do you have any suggestions on this matter?"
?”
"I can't tell you what I'm suggesting. Although I'm often the man in the middle, I shouldn't say more, but you are Tie Xin's brother, so I won't be polite. You can't agree to this condition."
"Is it because the number of spiritual stones is too large?"
"It's just one of the reasons. I've heard a lot about the strength of your Qianshan Sect. It's still a little difficult to come up with so much money. The key to the problem is that the Qianshan Sect is outside the Seven Alliances, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water.
The Chixia Sect has now joined forces with the Tianli Sect, and is temporarily evenly matched with the other five sects, with each having its own victory or defeat, but the Jincheng Sect, which is next to the Qianshan Sect, has not participated in the war, so the outcome is still unknown."
"Besides, no matter which side you support, you must first consider, what are the benefits of victory? To cede land, it would be good if the small area of Yanqiling can satisfy the Hanshan Sect and Chixia Sect. It is not the Qianshan Sect's turn. Other places will be ceded.
Even if I give you an enclave, it's worthless; for compensation, since the war has been going on until now, everyone is short of money, so how can I have any money to compensate you?"
"So the key question is, is there no benefit?"
"Yes, and what else did Zeng Baoxian say? He hopes to open up a road to Huiyao City through the northern part of the Jincheng Sect. Do you hear what this sentence means?"
"Perhaps Jincheng Sect will form an alliance with Chixia Sect and Tianli Sect?"
"At least I think so, but it may be that Zeng Baoxian deliberately misleads. If this is true, the Qianshan Sect will be useless. If it is false, although it is a timely help, there is no benefit to be gained if you win, and you will be given away if you lose.
All assets were lost.”
"It seems that we are in a dilemma. It is indeed the only good choice to stay out of the matter."
"For the current plan, I suggest that if you participate in the Dharma meeting, hire a prefecture-level monk to accompany you to ensure your safety. Or simply not go to the meeting. In the Qianshan Sect, there is a patriarchal system to protect you. At least, Master Jiang, you are
It’s safe unless Tianlimen takes action himself.”
The clues are not complicated, on the contrary, they are very simple and clear. After Wan Xuanwei's analysis, everything becomes clearer. Although the Chixia Sect's plot against the Qianshan Sect has been somewhat alleviated through communication with others, it has not actually been completely resolved.
, but threw the question back to Qianshan Sect.
what to do?
Jiang Feng rubbed his slightly groggy head and thought about possible solutions.
From the perspective of the interests of all parties, the Red Flame Sect planned to deal with the Qianshan Sect, but in fact it did not benefit itself, because between the two, the Jincheng Sect and Yanqiling were separated, and the Qianshan Sect was weakened and was actually very weak to the Hanshan Sect.
It is beneficial to both the Jincheng sect and the Jincheng sect, but if the sect is destroyed in a short period of time, it will not be beneficial to the Jincheng sect, because then it will have to face the more powerful sect and lack a buffer zone; but for the Hanshan sect, it will not benefit the Jincheng sect.
A piece of land in the south, away from the bitter cold mountainous area, is quite good. They have long lost the protection of the patriarchal system and have been living under the wings of the Yufeng Sect. Now the leader Tuoba Tu has been promoted to the prefecture level and is seeking longer-term development.
Human nature.
Judging from the appeal, Chixia Sect does not have any need to embarrass the Qianshan Sect. On the contrary, Hanshan Sect should have this intention. So why are there rumors about Chixia Sect?
By the way, Tianli Sect and Hanshan Sect are on good terms.
Jiang Feng suddenly understood the key to the matter.
The Hanshan Sect serves as the link between the Tianli Sect and the Chixia Sect, tying the two into one camp. The Tianli Sect takes action, the Hanshan Sect benefits, and the Chixia Sect takes the blame. Of course, this is for matters against the Qianshan Sect, as a way to maintain
The common interests of the three parties may be one of the conditions needed to attack the other five factions that have already participated in the war. This bureau was set up and operated in this way, and the focus of solving the problem was placed on Chixiamen, who was responsible for taking the blame. From the beginning,
Incorrect.
But the Chixia Sect is not a vegetarian. Zeng Baoxian even took the opportunity to come up with the bad idea of blackmailing himself for a valuable material. Thinking of this, the "Hanshan Sect spies" investigated by the maid Zheng Keyi before suddenly became clear.
Most of what the Hanshan Sect planned was in the northern part of the Qianshan Sect, and in order to obtain this land without destroying the Qianshan Sect because that would make the potential allies of the Jincheng Sect face the Li Sect, only one of their own people would "voluntarily" spit out the land.
Come out, that is to say, detain several elders of the Qianshan Sect at the Hanshan Sect Dharma Conference until they submit, or take the opportunity to take action from the Tianli Sect. This leaves a lot of room for planning.
Wan Xuanwei sent Wan Xuanwei away with a "passionate" reply, making an appointment to meet Zeng Baoxian at the Hanshan Sect later, and promised to help collect supplies in the form of a "verbal message". Of course, this sentence was perfunctory, and the specifics
Whether to collect it or not will be decided after the Hanshan Sect's Dharma Conference and based on the battle situation.
Jiang Feng has no intention of intervening in the war between the Seven Alliance and Tianlimen for the time being. In fact, he does not have the strength. Neither the Qianshan Sect nor Jiang Feng himself is qualified to be a player in this chaotic chess game.
The weak can only choose to fall with the wind.
"Brother Pu, please excuse me. Wear these clothes and walk around the city." Jiang Feng took out a Tianlimen robe, which was the trophy he and Pu Tiexin obtained from the fierce battle with the Tianlimen monks in the queen's nest.
…………
Six hundred miles away, Ansai City is one of the three major cities in the northeast of the Yufeng Sect. However, in the concept of the Yufeng Sect, this place is actually a bitter and cold place. At this time, all the disciples of prominent families with status should be in chaos.
Enjoying life in a mansion by the stone sea, practicing with the help of artificial magic circles, chatting, composing poems, even eating minced meat in a daze, it is also excellent.
The heavy snowstorm has just stopped.
At Li's Mansion in Dongcheng, Tuoba Si, who had been standing in the corridor waiting for news, hadn't left yet. The crystal snowflakes melted and fell on his shoulders, falling and melting again. It wasn't until he was tired of waiting that he carefully raised them.
The spiritual energy shook away the snowflakes on his body, leaving a few ice marks. The spiritual energy returned, bringing a chill to his bones. He felt his whole body tremble and exhaled a breath of hot breath.
Ah
He moved his slightly stiff legs and feet, and looked at the distant courtyard where the warm smoke was curling up. A small black dot was approaching from far away, calmly approaching in front of him.
"Master Li, how is the matter?" When the black spot approached, he hurried forward to greet it.
"My master has said that Tuoba Tu can do whatever he wants, but he can only occupy the fourteen towns in the north at most. If there are more, he can't account for it."
"That means, sir, he has agreed to my master's request." Tuoba Si smiled as brightly as a flower. He stepped forward and stuffed a ball of something with body temperature into the palm of the man's hand. It was a piece of fine "frozen cold jade"
"Even in the Hanshan Sect, which is rich in cold jade, such crystal clear and rare products are rare.
"And you common people always take these." Although the man sneered, he still put it in the bag and said in a low voice, "Master Li will communicate with the superiors afterwards to help you suppress the land grab, but now,
The envoys within the sub-sect are not close followers of Ancestor Li, so you should find other people to take action. Most of them are not willing to get involved in matters that may violate the clan system."
"I understand, I understand." Tuoba Si had already been mentally prepared for this, "Don't worry, sir, we will handle this matter and won't cause any trouble to our superiors."
"Haha," the man patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you know." He was wearing thin clothes and was unwilling to say a word. He soon turned into a small black dot again and disappeared into the vast snow.
"What the hell, a dog relies on human strength." Tuoba Si waited for him to go far away and muttered in his heart. He didn't dare to be presumptuous. Besides, he still had a mission, so he hurried back and smiled with the concierge and other ordinary people, leaving a lot of regrets.
A valuable but decent-looking specialty product, I left with a lot of thanks.
…………
"Quickly, come with me," Pu Tiexin rushed back in the blink of an eye. The Tianlimen robe on his body was gone. Even he himself had changed his appearance. You know, Pu Tiexin has always hated changing his appearance.
of.
"what's the situation?"
"Talking as we go. Otherwise it will be too late."
