Wan Xuanwei's expression was hurried, and there seemed to be some anxiety between his brows. Before the three of them could sit down, he quickly took out a piece of shabby papyrus that had been hastily folded twice, shook it open with one hand, and handed it to Jiang Feng.
"Headmaster Jiang, please forgive me for coming here in a hurry. I just got some information about the Qianshan Sect, so I came to find you quickly. I have tried my best at the Chixia Sect, but something happened to the family and I had to give up."
He took out a pile of various spiritual stones, both first and second level, and spread them out on the table. "I couldn't get the thing done. I'm ashamed."
"No, Brother Wan, you can't do this." Although Jiang Feng was short of money, and the other party did not play an actual role in "making peace" before and after this incident, the informant's fees were given, so what?
There is a reason to return it. Most of this pile of variegated and mixed-level spiritual stones were improvised by the other party.
"If you treat me as a brother, then put it away quickly. Are the changes in the family you mentioned caused by the rebellion of the Luoying Sect?"
"So you already know," Wan Xuan sighed softly, secretly thinking that although the Qianshan Sect was in a little trouble, it was still considered the leader of the party, and it was normal to have its own news channels. Instead, he despised the other party.
"It's a long story. Our Wan family mainly works for the Gujian Sect. This war has developed to this point and is completely embarrassing. Luoying Sect suddenly rebelled, and the coalition forces were in chaos. As a result, the Gujian Sect and the Biyun Sect were completely defeated.
, even the Golden Core cultivators were injured. Therefore, most of the northern parts of the two sects fell within a few days. If the family head hadn't found connections with the Qi State to help mediate, things would have been even worse now."
Has Qi, the great human nation in the east, also entered the scene?
Considering that the Ancient Sword Sect is originally a human sect, it is understandable that it seeks help from Qi State. The problem is that Wan Xuanwei is a demon cultivator, and his family leader must also be a demon cultivator. He relies on the mediation of a demon cultivator to help mediate
, the water here is quite deep. Judging from the fact that he dared to accept his commission to mediate peace talks before, maybe in addition to the Gujian Sect, they have some other backgrounds, otherwise they would not be able to mediate with the opposing Chixia Sect, but since
He didn't want to say more, so Jiang Feng naturally couldn't ask more questions.
Spreading out the information Wan Xuanwei gave him, the papyrus seemed to have been crumpled into a ball. Although it was folded, it was full of wrinkles and the handwriting was very messy and fragmented. It took careful identification and association to form the key words.
A complete sentence of text. Judging from these characteristics, this information must have been recorded in a hurry by an external spy, and then transferred out in the form of garbage.
"Divided into Yanqiling hometown, Chixiamen five, Jincheng sect three, Luoyingmen two; divided into Lingyunshan hometown, Jincheng six, Chixia four; for the rest, each sect maintains its own occupation."
Interpretation of some of the scattered words above has nothing to do with the Qianshan Sect, but is related to the war situation of the Seven Leagues themselves. The sentence "Each sect maintains its share" contains a lot of content. If so, there is no need to mention the share of the Tianli Sect.
Coming out, most of the losers are the neighboring Gujianmen and Luoyingmen, and the latter's betrayal has been compensated to a certain extent by dividing Yanqiling. In addition, the occupation of the Biyun Sect and Gujianmen's territory will make them lose or win.
I'm afraid we have to rely on a detailed map of the battle situation to evaluate these changes, but fortunately, the Luoying Gate is still there, and the way to sell stolen goods and steal treasures is still there.
"The Qianshan Sect and the Baishui River are all freely open to navigation; the road from Yuanyi Town to Huiyao City is built; Dayi, East Lake, Nuangu, and Luochuan are open to business activities by all sects, and they are tax-free for ten years."
"Hanshan Sect, such as Jiuding Town, is open to business activities for other sects, and they also enjoy the tax-free rights of Qianshan Sect."
"Heishui Gate and Yuntai City are open to all sects for business activities, and they are tax-free for ten years."
"Storger Canyon..."
The paper at the back has been torn off, and it is speculated that it may have been sold to another news broker. Speaking of Stormrage Canyon, it is speculated that it involves the handling of the Ancient Sword Sect and the Biyun Sect. However, with the few words analyzed above, Jiang Feng already knows the content of the peace talks.
General information about the Asayama Sect.
In short, the victorious side in the Battle of the Seven Alliances wanted to use the remaining power of the war to force the three neighboring Hanshan Sect, Asan Mountain Sect and Heishui Sect in the west to accept a series of unequal conditions, with the Asan Mountain Sect as the main target.
.
This is a natural choice.
In terms of natural conditions and population situation, the entire territory of the Hanshan Sect is covered with snow ridges, and the Black Water Gate is filled with bad water swamps. They are both sparsely populated and resource-poor places. It is not easy to squeeze out some oil and water, and behind the opponent are the Yufeng Sect.
and the Wei State, so the fight cannot be too ugly, especially for the Hanshan Sect, which is still one of the former allies. Even if Tuobatu dies, he still belongs to the victorious side. Therefore, the conditions proposed are also the most peaceful, just dividing the territory and dividing the territory.
Han Shan is no longer responsible for the matter.
The Asayama Sect, which had no background, naturally became the target of exploitation by the victorious party.
The opening of the Baishui River to navigation, the construction of roads, and the opening of commercial towns are enough to make the Qianshan sect a lowland for several sects to dump goods and hire cheap labor. The development model of "based on three counties and making full use of labor" that I have devoted myself to research and implementation will inevitably be very successful.
It will soon be disrupted, destroyed, and usurped by foreign merchants. Compared with the weak economic situation of the Qianshan Sect, once navigation and access roads are opened, some ordinary people will inevitably be attracted to make a living in the Seven Leagues with better conditions, leaving behind difficulties.
Most of the people will be hired by outside shops, and because of the tax-free policy, they will not receive a penny. This is contrary to their imagination of gradually using external forces to develop themselves.
Although the patriarchal system has protected the Qianshan Sect from being passively involved in the war, the new shackles that several factions intend to impose on themselves are no different from occupying the Qianshan Sect. Maybe they can resist and refuse to agree, but Tianlimen is not subject to these
Patriarchal legal constraints.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to these conditions." Jiang Feng passed the information to Pu Tiexin, who frowned when he saw it. "This seems to be no different than leaving the Qianshan Sect to them."
"But it is said that someone has already agreed." Wan Xuanwei took back the information and released his spiritual power. The papyrus spontaneously ignited without wind and turned into a ball of fly ash. "This is why I rushed here in a hurry."
who is it?
Already agreed?
Jiang Feng immediately thought of several elders in the sect who agreed to such harsh conditions in order to... become the leader?
Then you have to be willing to "give in". Because of the patriarchal system, the position of leader obtained by the rebellion will not be recognized. Is it possible that they have to use force? Is it possible for the Hanshan Sect to force themselves to make such a decision?
...Create an accident in which the leader dies unexpectedly? Death from illness, an external attack, or a fake duel like the story of the Yufeng Sect's Gongcheng?
The old incident between him and Tuobatu may have given them a new idea.
Thinking of this, it's a bit embarrassing.
Jiang Feng felt a hint of cold air coming out of the back of his neck. Possible suspects appeared in front of his eyes one by one, and they were denied one by one until they locked onto two people.
…………
"Let's all talk and share our opinions." Jiang Feng sat facing south. On the left hand side of the varnished long table sat a somewhat sleepy Wu Quanzhong, on the right hand was Wang Xiandao, who looked slightly rosy, and Zheng Luda, who was wearing thick clothes. The three of them sat
The two carriages had just arrived in Dayi County. Before they could rest for a while, Jiang Feng called them to a place to discuss the Qianshan Sect issue.
What was thrown in front of several people was the stack of suspicious letters that Yu Xiaozheng sent to him, which came from Tuobatu's storage bag. It can be inferred from the lines that they were all written by Yue Xishan, a monk at the Xuan level within the sect. Before that, Zhou
Xing Ye once hesitated whether to tell him about this matter. His information came from Ma Taiji, but it was unclear and lacked details, like catching wind and shadow. Although Jiang Feng believed in a person who had just taken refuge, there was no need to slander someone who had nothing to do with him.
The monks of the Asanshan Sect are related, but if there is no evidence, there is no evidence. Even if you insist on it, you will probably not be able to come to any conclusion at the presbytery meeting.
Jiang Feng has read these letters many times one by one. They basically involve the whereabouts of himself and several elders, information about some monks in Qianshan, and are full of complaints. However, they are rarely disclosed when it comes to defection, betrayal, etc. Used for
It is not a big problem to convict of leaking secrets, but it is still difficult to convict of treason. Judging from the context of the contents of the letter, it seems that it is not complete. Maybe it was deliberately collected by Tuobatu, or maybe it was simply destroyed, at least
Not in the storage bag.
Zheng Ruda only read one letter in a hurry and threw away the letter in his hand. His face turned red with anger and he forgot that he was afraid of the cold. He shook off the white tiger fur cloak on his body, stood up and wandered around the small room, "
This old man! He's cheating on everyone, old man Ren was so mean to him back then, why would he want to harm us? He's really not a human being, he deserves to be killed!"
Wu Quanzhong was much calmer than Zheng Luda. He read each letter carefully and handed it to Wang Xiandao opposite him. He sighed and said, "This is a bit much. I have something to talk about internally. Why bother with the Hanshan Sect? There seems to be something wrong here."
It's about the Qi Alliance. We can't hide in time if there is a war. This guy is really not afraid of getting angry." He knocked on the table, "Old Wang, tell me, you are in charge of law enforcement. According to the rules of the sect, what should we do about this matter?
deal with?"
Wang Xiandao was not encouraged by Wu Quanzhong. He read the slowest of the three. He occasionally turned to the previous letter to check it carefully. Finally, he picked out three pages to see how many people were waiting for him to express his opinion, and then read through them slowly.
stand up.
"That's what you said!" Zheng Luda was anxious.
"Master, did you really kill Tuoba Tu?" Wang Xiandao asked about other things first.
Jiang Feng threw out the special piece of water-colored jade as usual, which was the voucher he used to recruit Zhou Xing before, "Everything is in the hands of the Yufeng Sect, I only got this, and these others are of little value to them.
letter."
Naturally, he would not expose Pu Tiexin's existence easily, nor would he mention the story of "Chang Tingjun" behind Yu Xiaozheng and the Yu family. The death of Tuoba Tu had probably just reached the Qianshan Sect, which had poor news. Since Yufeng
Zong has already set the tone for the duel between himself and Tuoba Tu, and the dead and injured will be settled according to destiny, and he will continue to follow this tone. The details can only be added by himself after the official news is fermented.
"It's just a fluke. I also suffered some internal injuries. Fortunately, I have recovered." Jiang Feng downplayed it and did not reveal any details. He would not throw out Tuoba Tu's body to prove himself. Tuoba Tu had been promoted to the prefectural level.
Many people know this, and if you say less, it will be more effective.
"Then this question is much simpler." Wang Xiandao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he gently put down the letter, "First of all, let's trace back to who leaked the news that we were going to the Hanshan Sect together."
