For several days in a row, Putian County has become particularly lively.
In the streets and alleys, there are swordsmen carrying long swords everywhere.
Although it is rare to see swordsman-level masters among these sword cultivators, the arrival of these sword cultivators still plunges Putian County into a tense atmosphere.
On the third floor of the restaurant in the center of Putian County District, the box near the window was tightly blocked with gauze curtains.
Although the sunlight shines directly on the gauze curtain, the outside world is still unable to see clearly the scene inside the box through the gauze curtain.
At the box window, a pretty girl wearing a light green dress was looking out through the gap in the gauze curtain.
Seeing sword cultivators hurriedly passing by everywhere on the street, a trace of disdain flashed in the girl's eyes.
"Miss, look at these swordsmen, they don't even think about their own strength. Do they think they are qualified to be hired by you without even being a swordsman?" The girl turned around and said crisply.
Behind the girl is a musical instrument table that is more than one meter long. There is a red, antique lyre placed on the chopping board.
Behind the lyre is a green vanilla futon. At this moment, sitting on the futon is a young woman wearing a black skirt, a black veil, and a white filial belt tied around her waist.
After hearing the girl's question, the woman in black raised her head.
She stared out the window for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said: "Lian Qiao, you shouldn't say this. When we send out employment information, we don't ask for the other party's strength. Besides, strength is not the standard for measuring everything. If this is the case, someone
These people will not make Putian County famous."
Some of the people the woman in black was talking about were Ye Feng and He Huan.
Just like what she said, ever since Ye Feng stepped out of the Zangke Mountains, his reputation has soared upwards like an arrow piercing the clouds.
At first, everyone jokingly called him the Faceless Ghost, but after he and He Huan easily defeated Nie Henli, the title of Faceless Ghost was forgotten by people. People only remember that Ye Feng easily killed a Nie Henli with one person.
The story of the super monster summoned by Nie Henli using the Sword Spirit Summoning Technique.
Rumors are terrible and have long since lost their authenticity. However, this kind of positive rumor has the effect of making Ye Feng famous, and it also makes a large number of sword cultivators who come to Putian County want to see him.
The dignity of a young genius.
Hearing Miss Chen Nanzhu mention Ye Feng, Lian Qiao couldn't help but pout.
The higher Ye Feng's status is, the more uncomfortable Lian Qiao feels in her heart. Although she has completely given up the idea of being with Ye Feng now, she feels sour in her heart every time she hears this familiar name.
"Miss, don't mention that hateful guy. If he hadn't been involved for nothing, maybe we would have reached an employment agreement with the Apparition Sect. Humph, that guy failed to achieve anything but failed more than he did. It's really annoying!" said,
Lianqiao pursed her thin lips.
Lian Qiao's performance fell into Chen Nanzhu's eyes, making her sigh helplessly.
She is so smart, how could she not understand Lian Qiao's thoughts? She said she has given up, but who can give up her first love? Even if this relationship lasts only a quarter of an hour from beginning to end, it will be difficult for a lifetime.
forget.
"Ye Feng, will you be tempted by this set of low-level wind-level flying flying skills this time? Even if you are not tempted, Li Shui Sword Sect will not let go of the opportunity to obtain this set of skills." Chen Nanzhu was silent in his heart.
Thinking about it, I felt lost for a while again.
Outside the box door, the coachman surnamed Cheng walked quickly from the stairs.
After knocking on the door and hearing the sound of permission coming from inside, the driver surnamed Cheng bowed and entered the box.
"Miss, according to your instructions, I have counted the number of people who are willing to accept our employment. Currently, there are 875 free sword cultivators who are willing to accept employment, including 502 sword cultivators below the seventh level.
There are 350 sword cultivators from the seventh to the ninth level. As for the sword masters, there are only twenty-three."
"Also, there are a total of seventy-eight forces in contact with us. Among them, there are only eight second-rate sects, and the rest are all third-rate sects. As for the first-rate sects and the four major sword sects, except for the Phantom Sect, which has escaped far away,
No one has expressed willingness to cooperate with us.”
After the driver surnamed Cheng reported these data in one breath, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
In order to compile these data, he spent a full two hours, and he did not want to see the lady showing any dissatisfaction with his work.
"Uncle Cheng, thank you. I would also like to trouble you to go to the Putian County Information Release Office again and send another message to tell those sword cultivators who are willing to accept our employment that we will hire them all. Even if they cannot complete the task, everyone will
You will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold."
"Also, please tell the manager of the Information Release Office that the hiring chips have increased again. I will add a low-level wind-level long sword and a mid-level wind-level long sword to the person who completes the task. It's just that.
The content of the mission needs to be changed, I no longer need people to protect me, I want them to destroy the Mirror Sword Sect."
"Miss, you..." After hearing Chen Nanzhu's words, Lian Qiao couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Even someone with a well-off family like her young lady cannot bear such trouble. One hundred taels of gold per person and a sword of rank almost bankrupted Chen Nanzhu's family.
Not only Lian Qiao turned pale in panic, but the driver surnamed Cheng also had a look of surprise on his face.
The Mirror Sword Sect is not a small, inferior sect, but a medium-sized sect that ranks at the bottom of the first-rate and upper reaches of the second-rate.
Not to mention that it is impossible for these masters today to destroy the Mirror Sword Sect. Even if the number of people is doubled, they may not be able to do it.
"Miss, would you like to think about it?" the driver surnamed Cheng asked in fear.
Chen Nanzhu shook his head, stood up, touched the white silk silk around his waist and said: "Uncle Cheng, don't you still know what I'm thinking? The Mirror Image Sword Sect killed my father. What kind of sacrifices will I make to avenge my father?"
The cost doesn’t matter.”
Facing the resolute Chen Nanzhu, the driver surnamed Cheng could only sigh secretly.
Chen Nanzhu's father died, which also caused Chen Nanzhu's temperament to undergo earth-shaking changes. Thinking that the songs played by the young lady recently were full of chilling atmosphere, the coachman surnamed Cheng knew that this matter would never let it go.
The driver surnamed Cheng hurriedly left the box and returned to the information release office.
Two hours later, the entire Putian County was in a state of shock. Almost all the sword cultivators knew that Chen Nanzhu once again increased his bargaining chips and even took out a wind-level mid-level weapon and a wind-level low-level weapon.
Inside the Li Shui Sword Sect's station, Ye Feng and Li Yuanhang all received the news that had just come from the outside world.
Hearing that Chen Nanzhu had once again increased his employment bargaining chips, Li Yuanhang became a little upset.
Even for a sect like the Li Shui Sword Sect, one of the four major sects, wind-level weapons and techniques are rare treasures.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Hai Wuya still hadn't received any news that he was allowed to participate in the war, he might have approached Chen Nanzhu and signed an employment agreement with him personally.
Looking at Li Yuanhang who was pacing anxiously in the living room, Ye Feng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
He understood Li Yuanhang's thoughts, but now, even though he knew that Chen Nanzhu's father was dead, he still felt that Chen Nanzhu's behavior must be strange.
The hatred for killing his father is indeed irreconcilable, but the price seems to be too high. Moreover, as Chen Nanzhu is a female classmate, even if her father is the prime minister of the dynasty, where can she get the low-level martial arts and wind-level weapons.
Outside the door, Longwen walked in quickly. Seeing the great elder and everyone here, Longwen's expression became very reserved.
"Great Elder, the information you asked me to check has been clarified. Since Chen Nanzhu released the new information, five second-rate sects have indeed taken notice. They have sent people to contact Chen Nanzhu and signed employment agreements." Lang Wen respectfully said.
replied.
"Are there five more second-rate sects?" Li Yuanhang said to himself.
After saying this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Feng with burning eyes.
"Ye Feng, do you think we should contact Chen Nanzhu?" Li Yuanhang asked.
Li Yuanhang suddenly asked for advice, which made Ye Feng feel quite emotional.
They are both new disciples, so Langwen can only be responsible for running errands and inquiring about information, but he is sitting here, on an equal footing with Li Yuanhang.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng immediately understood Li Yuanhang's intention in asking him for his words.
He gently played with the Yanbo Vast Sword in his hand and whispered: "Great Elder, in fact, we have always made things complicated. Isn't it just skills and weapons? We will naturally want such things. But
There is no need for us to sign a cooperation agreement with Chen Nanzhu. It is better to collect external intelligence on the one hand and prepare for the Kung Fu Mirror Sword Sect at the same time. At that time, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, so we have more initiative."
Ye Feng's suggestion made Li Yuanhang's eyes light up as he was deeply trapped in the situation.
Indeed, what Ye Feng said is an excellent method. This will not only ensure the face of Li Shui Sword Sect, but also gain benefits.
Li Yuanhang sneered when he thought that when the outside world attacked the Mirror Sword Sect, he and others lurked in the Mirror Sword Sect to reap the benefits.
Not to mention that Chen Nanzhu has only contacted a few second-rate sects at present. Even if there are twice as many second-rate sects, they cannot compare with the strength of Li Shui Sword Sect.
However, if they came forward to snatch the treasure, Li Shui Sword Sect would not be able to lose face, and its reputation would not be good. However, Ye Feng's suggestion of a sneak attack in secret was exactly in line with Li Yuanhang's thoughts.
There are some words that an elder like Li Yuanhang should not say out loud. Saying them through Ye Feng's mouth just happened to give Li Yuanhang a step forward and help him lose face smoothly.
Late at night, three elders, Li Yuanhang, Chen Ling, and Sun Jian, as well as Ye Feng and He Huan, all gathered in the secret room.
Except for He Huan who remained silent and practiced with his eyes closed, the other four people were constantly discussing ways to attack.
Finally, in the early hours of the morning, everyone worked out a complete plan.
Everyone decided that just five days later, when Chen Nanzhu sent out his hirelings to attack the Mirror Image Sword Sect, he would sneak into the back mountain of the Mirror Image Sword Sect and kill the top executives of the Mirror Image Sword Sect in one fell swoop!
