Chapter 217: Finding Allies
Cheng Feng came in a hurry and didn't know the specific circumstances of Lu Huaan's killing. He only wants to avenge his disciples. If he knew that Xiang Fei had eavesdropped on the inside story of the transaction between the demon general and this side, he would have killed Xiang Fei on the spot.
Xiang Fei stumbled towards Xinhe's camp, and on the way, he didn't pay attention and crashed directly into someone's arms. She hurriedly lifted her sword desperately, but her wrist was held down.
When I looked up, I found that the person I bumped into was Liu Kuo, Jiang Ping pressed her wrist and shouted, "Xiaofei, calm down, it's us." ”
"What's wrong!"
The two looked for her everywhere, but they bumped into each other.
Xiang Fei took a few deep breaths and said the whole thing as calmly as possible.
Jiang Ping and Liu Kuo were stunned!
In the matter of colluding with demons, they thought that Lu Jinglong was already the biggest black hand, but they didn't expect that it had already involved the upper echelons of the New World Society.
The New World Society is a united organization of cultivators from all over the world, and it is the mainstay of the fight against demonic forces. If what Xiang Fei said is true, it is dark.
This place is already very dangerous, and no one knows when Elder Cheng's pursuers will arrive. The three of them quickly returned to the camp in Xinhe, and after discussion, they decided to report the matter to Peng Yuanzhi.
Recently, the character of this city lord has been trusted by everyone, and as for the others, they really can't be trusted.
City Lord Peng was also surprised by this news, after all, it was he who personally sent Lu Jinglong to Cheng Feng. From this point of view, Elder Cheng was so polite to himself, but he avoided talking about Lu Jinglong's treatment.
"City Lord Peng, please save Xin Xing, she is still fighting!"
Xiang Fei pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Peng Yuanzhi got up, sighed, and asked, "Xiaofei, you said that you overheard the conspiracy between Lu Huaan and the demon general, apart from yourself, what other evidence do you have?"
Xiangfei froze.
Jiang Ping slapped the table and said angrily: "You don't believe Xiang Fei's words?"
The little blue coat, scolding the lord of a city like this, if others had turned against him. But Peng Yuanzhi just scratched his head in annoyance.
"It's not that I don't believe Xiaofei, the question is whether others believe it or not!"
Xiang Fei seems to have revealed a big conspiracy, but so far, the evidence is only her side. Peng Yuanzhi can believe her, but will others believe her?
Will others offend the high-level of the New World Society because of the rumors of a weak little woman?
"That's why. Even if I, Peng Yuanzhi, am willing to accompany you to expose Cheng Feng, how can I convince my brothers, how can I convince other city lords? Cheng Feng himself is the strength of the red robe, not to mention the strength of the red robe, he has at least fifty high-level combat power of the envoys in green clothes. A few of us are definitely no opponents.
And that's not all. Cheng Feng is the elder of the new world, as long as he gives an order, at least half of the troops in the surrounding twenty cities will obey his orders. Our rash exposure of him is tantamount to moths to a fire!"
After listening to Peng Yuanzhi's analysis, Xiang Fei and the three of them poured a basin of cold water on their heads. Not to mention that Pei Guang is still in a coma, even if he is, I am afraid it will be the same conclusion as Peng Yuanzhi.
"That's it?" Liu Kuo said incredulously, "Now that Xin Xing is still fighting to the death on the mountain, we should have nothing to do?"
"Of course, it can't be counted like that. Peng Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, "We have to try to find allies now. ”
Peng Yuanzhi's ally was Mei Ying, the lord of Jixian City, and this woman lived in seclusion along the way after being humiliated by Sun Xiang in Wucheng. But her character can be trusted.
Halfway through hearing the matter, Mei Ying interrupted Peng Yuanzhi's words.
"Needless to say. Nine times out of ten, what this girl said is true. ”
This girl refers to Xiang Fei. Everyone was surprised, Mei Ying didn't even know Xiang Fei's name, so she trusted it so much?
They thought that Mei Ying would at least have to be interrogated again and again.
"It's not trust, it's ......," Mei Ying hesitated for a moment, "but ...... They also approached me to talk about cooperation. ”
!!!
When Cheng Feng represented the New World Society to open exchanges near Wucheng, he once wanted to develop Mei Ying into a partner of cooperation. Of course, he didn't say it directly, but it was a flickering insinuation.
Mei Ying didn't understand it at the time, so she implicitly refused, and then the matter was gone. She didn't know the specific situation, and Cheng Feng didn't explain it to her. But she knew that Elder Cheng must be planning something unseemly, and it was related to demons.
She was so angry in Wucheng that day because she really thought that Pei Guang was involved, but she didn't expect that it was Lu Jinglong who really participated. Peng Yuanzhi handed Lu Jinglong into Cheng Feng's hands, and Mei Ying almost stopped her, but in the end she didn't make a sound.
In the end, Xiang Fei broke the conspiracy, and Mei Ying didn't want to hide it anymore.
"Old Peng, you are right not to act rashly, because we don't know how many people they are hiding in the shadows. Even among our own people, there may be spies of theirs. ”
Pei Guang was betrayed by his most trusted deputy, Luo Cheng, and fell into death. If it weren't for Sun Xiang's rescue, Pei Guang would have been in a different place long ago. Who can guarantee that there is no Infernal Affairs like Luo Cheng among his subordinates.
"For the sake of now, not only can't you move, but the three of you can't stay here, you must leave immediately. ”
Mei Ying Zhengse told Xiang Fei and the three of them that Cheng Feng would definitely assassinate them with all his strength after he reacted, and staying here was equivalent to staying in the enemy's base camp.
"Obviously they are traitors, why should we run away like lost dogs!"
Jiang Ping collapsed with his head in his hands, he knew that what the City Lord of Mei said was true, and it was too dangerous to stay.
"No, you are not fleeing, but you are going to meet someone. Tell her everything here, and she'll find a way. ”
"The road is dangerous, I'll take you there. Mei Ying picked up her weapon and got up to greet Peng Yuanzhi, "City Lord Peng, there won't be peace in the back, I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Without further ado, let's go now. ”
"Who are you going to?" Peng Yuanzhi was very worried.
"Elder Zhou!" Mei Ying replied, "she has absolutely no problem. ”
Peng Yuanzhi suddenly realized and nodded, it is true.
This time, the stronghold of the New World Society in Huaichi Town was actually controlled by the two red-robed elders of the New World Society. One was Elder Cheng Fengcheng, but the other Elder Zhou had been missing.
Mei Ying happened to know where she was going, because Elder Zhou had visited Jixian City not long ago and had a good conversation with Mei Ying. After stopping in Huaichi Town, Elder Zhou also sent his subordinates over to say hello. Mei Ying therefore knew where she was and what she was doing.
Mei Ying trusted Elder Zhou, not only because of her personal relationship, but also because of Elder Zhou's position. The Council of Elders of the New World Society is divided into two major factions, and most of the local city lords have heard of it.
Among them, Elder Cheng Feng belongs to the faction of President Lu Long, which is called the old capital faction by the outside world. And Elder Zhou belongs to the opposing faction, the Binhai faction.
The two sides quarreled over the defense of the coast, and the grievances were deep.
Elder Zhou belongs to the Binhai system, if he can grasp the evidence of Cheng Feng's crimes. With such a big black material, I believe that the coastal system will definitely make a big fuss.
The human world has been respected for its strength since ancient times. But when the strength is similar, you can only look for allies to fight against dissidents.
This is where politics originated.
