Chapter 237: Non-Enemy
"Ten miles away, it can be regarded as a famous church, mainly to explain the self-created doctrine of the wind and spirit contract, and to prolong the life of the people as the attraction, in Jun Tianye is the most popular, mainly a peak of more than 300,000 people. Its sect leader is named Qu Xuanbo, and his strength is in a quadruple position, and he belongs to the loose cultivation in Jun Tianye. ”
Qu Xuanbo preached for more than ten years, after recruiting the three heavenly kings, finally made the church structure more complete, and rapidly developed into the largest faith church in Jun Tianye, after several years of branching out, gradually affecting Zhu Tianye, Youtianye, but after years of development, the ten-mile radius doctrine that reached Zhu Tianye has been misinterpreted, and because of the elite teaching in the church, all the ten-mile square circle churches in Zhu Tianye have become wild roads, and gradually deviate from the original trajectory. ”
"Zhou Rongdu of the Zhou family was originally the eldest son of Zhou Kaiwei, but when he traveled ten years ago, he encountered a beast tide in the mountains and forests, and his whereabouts are unknown. The Zhou family thought that this young disciple with outstanding ability had died, but two years ago, Zhou Rongdu returned to Jiaozhi City, and secretly developed the ten-mile radius doctrine. ”
Chang An sat on the edge of the waterfront platform, holding a fishing rod in his hand, listening to the news collected by his subordinates, he was not moved at all, and Hao Dao, who stood beside him: "Landlord, this Zhou Rongdu appeared again, it seems that he does not only want to interfere with the pattern of the Zhou family in Jiaozhi City, but also has this bigger plan, the subordinates I sent out are already monitoring the Zhou family, they are all quite experienced and good hands, once Zhou Rongdu has a stir, we can find out for the first time." ”
Chang An looked at the water in the pond and said, "You see, the water in the pond was originally calm, but because I threw in the bait, there were waves in it, but this is not something we have to worry about, because we are anglers, no matter how the water in the pond is, it is impossible to wet the corners of my clothes." ”
Hao stared at the landlord, and seemed to be more and more unable to see what Chang An was thinking, the seventh act under his control distributed Qianfeng Inn, which was methodically connecting this Jiaozhi region into a real net, although he could feel the increase in the strength of Qianfeng Inn, but it seemed that in the process of becoming stronger, there were many things lost.
Miao said: "Landlord, what do you mean is that we don't interfere with Zhou Rongdu, according to reliable information, Zhou Rongdu is a half-step nine-stage martial artist, if you let it go, I am afraid that there will be a lot of turmoil in this area, and those people in Wohua Mountain are also involved, if it has an impact on our plans, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Chang An said: "Why worry about these, those people in Wohua Mountain are not fuel-efficient lamps, one of them may only be regarded as acceptable, and their qualifications and resourcefulness are medium, but when they are united, they will definitely be able to exert unpredictable energy, after all, the candidates I fancy for the flag war are among them, and if I want to shake the position of Wohua Mountain, Zhou Rongdu is afraid that it is too simple." ”
Hao was not convinced, so he said: "The landlord, in fact, there is something unknown to his subordinates, although the landlord has also answered for us, but I still feel confused." What kind of ability does Jiang Ming, who is lying on Huashan, deserve to be designated as a candidate for the flag battle by the landlord? ”
Chang An glanced at Hao and said, "It's normal to have this kind of doubt, no matter how Jiang Ming looks at it, he is just an ordinary person, even if he has some ability, he still can't meet the qualifications of the participants in the flag battle in the seventh act." I can also find a martial arts master like this who is at the peak of the eighth stage, and if it is only about martial arts, Jiang Ming is very likely to be invincible. However, I had something else in mind. ”
Chang An took out a document from his arms, threw it back, and said: "Take a look, this is the news passed down by my superiors, I specially asked someone to send it, and the appraisal document was passed down not long ago, which clearly pointed out the strangeness of Jiang Ming, because he was originally just an inconspicuous carpenter in the Nine Mansions Alliance, and all the news came scattered, but he always explained all the doubts clearly." ”
Hao and Miao studied the document for a long time, although it was only a few hundred words, but the amount of information in it was very large, Hao said: "Landlord, this Jiang Ming's martial arts strength is very strange, the evidence of all parties in the bureau proves that he was just an ordinary carpenter, and his carpentry skills are not profound, so he is always ignored by others, and it is also a nonexistent existence in Huangshi Town." When he was fifteen years old, he once fell off a cliff and broke his right leg, which was later delayed for half a year. ”
"In the more than ten years that he has not been an adult, he has not been bullied by the local ruffian bullies, among which Zhong Qiao, the only son of the Zhong family, the overlord family of Huangshi Town, has been bullying him, but Jiang Ming has never shown that he has any martial arts foundation during these times. Even when the high-grade metal suddenly appeared in Huangshi Town, a large number of Zhu Tianye's junjie poured into this town blocked by the demonic yellow sand, and he and his two brothers who were also orphans and the girl who were childhood sweethearts were chased and killed by the Zhong family, during which they did not show martial arts strength, but they killed the Zhong family's pursuit of the knife-wielding courtyard. ”
After that, Jiang Ming got very close to Yanzong Hong's envoy Kwai Xi, and even had some unknown deals, and then Jiang Ming made his first move, helping the black-clothed tooth catcher Ren Jianying of the Nine Mansions Alliance, facing the seriously injured demon beast Liuli Wild Lion head-on and killing it, at this time he should be at the peak of the seven-stage human position. But to sum up, Jiang Ming's strength doesn't seem to have any source, it seems to have appeared out of thin air, and by the time he goes to Cambrian Pass, his strength is already on par with Lin Han, the sixth commander of Wohua Mountain, who is the top of the eighth rank. His strength seems to have risen too fast. ”
Hearing this, Chang An smiled playfully: "I can't even find out the seventh act of the flag level, which shows that Jiang Ming's hidden ability is very extraordinary." According to these news, it would not be unusual if one day he exerted the strength of the nine-rank position. ”
Miao frowned, and said, "Landlord, what do you mean, you want to put this Jiang Ming by your side, and then observe the changes in his strength?"
Chang An said: "No, I really want to recruit and want to turn Jiang Ming into my person." ”
Hao Dao: "This kind of unpredictable strength is as unpredictable as a person's talent, isn't it a bit hasty to hand over such an important matter as the flag battle to him?"
Chang An said: "It's not hasty, his strength is only one aspect, the reason why I regard him as a candidate is another aspect, when Jiang Ming was assassinated by the mysterious martial arts master of the ninth rank and was rescued by you, the jade Ruyi he carried on his body has an extremely good background, and even attracted the attention of the vein master." Just for this reason, I am enough to set him as a candidate for the flag battle, after all, that battle is both a Shura field and a promotion hall, and pushing the flag battle to Jiang Ming can not only recruit him, but also test him. ”
"The landlord is wise!" Hao and Miao bowed their heads together, such a strategic thinking made them like this, but with the improvement of their own strength, the landlord in their eyes has begun to have subtle changes.
Jiang Ming and Lin Han walked out of the cave in the lake along the original path, and no one stopped them, although they were vigilant in their hearts, the expected crisis did not seem to have happened.
Could it be that Zhou Rongdu just let them go?
Jiang Ming couldn't see through it, and Lin Han couldn't see through it either.
After returning to the residence, the two of them did not want to alarm the others, took a short rest, and waited for dawn before going to Zhou's house again to find something, but this time they did not have to sneak in secretly, but sneaked in in brightly.
They witnessed the real Zhou Yihui and heard that conversation, even if they didn't have definite evidence, but their status in Jiaozhi City was very strong now, and there was no reason to be bullied and not keep silent, so this trip was more like a coercion.
Although the essence of the matter was not too clean, Lin Han wanted to let the people of Sihai City quickly get rid of the epidemic, and without a good supplier of medicinal materials, it would be difficult for him to achieve the desired purpose.
Imperative!
Lin Han and Jiang Ming don't have to say anything, they have a tacit understanding, and this matter will definitely follow.
The sky was dawning, the red sun had not yet risen, and in the school field where the soldiers of Wohua Mountain were stationed, there was a sudden noise of noise, and Jiang Ming was awakened by a rapid knock on the door before he noticed anything.
"Nine Commanders, wake up! Zhou Kaiwei, the head of the Zhou family, is here, you get up quickly!"
"What? Zhou Zhou Kaiwei?" Jiang Ming hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and walked towards the school grounds, and when he walked there, the hustle and bustle there was nowhere to be found. He casually grabbed a soldier and asked, it turned out that Zhou Kaiwei was led to the conference hall by Liang Jin and a few people.
Jiang Ming hurriedly walked over, although he couldn't say anything about this kind of thing in absence, but as soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhou Kaiwei, the head of the Zhou family, stood up and said from afar: "This is the Nine Commanders, right? ”
Jiang Ming's eyelids narrowed slightly, a little sluggish, but he saw Lin Han walking out with a wry smile from the side, and said, "Let's get acquainted, the head of the Zhou family has brought a lot of things, and he is here to comfort the soldiers of Wohua Mountain." ”
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Master Zhou, Jiang Ming, be polite." Dream Literature Network
But seeing that Liang Jin, Luo Hu, Meng Lang, and Chu Hong all had strange faces, only Lin Han smiled bitterly, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.
Jiang Ming approached Lin Han and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Isn't the correct drama for us to go to Zhou's house?
Lin Han whispered: "This should be Zhou Rongdu's means, Zhou Kaiwei also knew about our night invasion of Zhou's house, it must be Zhou Rongdu who made Zhou Kaiwei do this kind of thing in order to seal our mouths." ”
But seeing Zhou Kaiwei smiled at Liang Jin and the others: "Since the things we should talk about have been negotiated, and I have seen several commanders today, then the contemptible man will leave first, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion after a while, and I will not chat with a few commanders during the day." ”
Liang Jin took the lead and sent Zhou Kaiwei out, until his subordinates told him that Zhou Kaiwei had already walked on the street, and Liang Jin and the others turned back, each put on an arrogant posture, looked at Lin Han and Jiang Ming, and said, "Say, what are you doing behind our backs?"
Activities?
"Is that the right word?"
Chu Hong said: "You two seem to have caused a lot of trouble, why did you decide to be open and honest and confess to us?"
Jiang Ming and Lin Han's expressions were funny, it seems that this stalk can't be left out.
After the two of them said these things one by one, different expressions appeared on the faces of the four Liang Jin, and after a short period of thought, they began their inquiry.
Liang Jin said: "Then the Miss Zhou family who came before was not herself?"
Chu Hong said: "Another half-step nine-stage martial artist appeared?"
Luo Hu said: "Why haven't you heard of the Ten Mile Radius Church!"
Meng Lang said: "I like this thing very much. ”
Everyone looked at Meng Lang, and there was still a sinister smile on the corner of Meng Lang's mouth, as if he had found the right hobby, and everyone said in unison: "Is this the point?"
Meng Lang smiled embarrassedly, then coughed lightly, and said, "I think, Hanzi's idea is worthy of affirmation, he discussed with us before that the supply of medicinal materials in Four Seas City is scarce, although we are constantly sending our subordinates to raise it, it is difficult to supply the entire Four Seas City in a short period of time." And the Zhou family is the largest supply hub of medicinal materials in more than a dozen cities around here, and many roads of medicinal materials have to pass through their hands, and finding a way to get the Zhou family to compromise and help us is indeed the most effective way. ”
Luo Hu interjected: "But Zhou Kaiwei's attitude today is very abnormal, even if he is usually busy, his daughter who doesn't know the truth has been running here, and he hasn't taken care of it." Numerous messages can show that Zhou Kaiwei should also know what happened in the pit that day, and Zhou Rongdu, who can't walk down the lotus platform, seems to be secretly controlling the operation of the entire Zhou family, otherwise Zhou Kaiwei would not have come to us to show goodwill at the first time, and when we didn't mention any conditions, we have already taken the matter of cooperating with us to supply medicinal materials as the basic, it seems that this is also Zhou Rongdu's handiwork. ”
"Cooperation?" Jiang Ming's face was full of surprise, he seemed to be a little suspicious of what Luo Hu said, and asked, "Zhou Kaiwei is not only here to comfort our soldiers, but also offered to cooperate with us to supply medicinal herbs?
Liang Jin said: "Just before you came, it was estimated that you were still sleeping at that time, of course, Zhou Kaiwei just said a few words casually, we were all stunned, and we didn't even react to the reason, so the scene became what he said, and then we agreed, after all, it was something that was beneficial to us, and we had no reason to refuse." ”
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "Why did he not mention the matter of currying favor with us, just say that why would he know that what we need is to cooperate with the Zhou family's medicinal materials?"
Lin Han said: "That week, Rongdu was not an ordinary person, and we have been buying medicinal materials on a large scale in Jiaozhi City these days, which must have attracted the attention of people with hearts. And we secretly went to Sihai City to treat the people, even if the people of Jiaozhi City don't know, but those big forces naturally see it, and the two of us secretly infiltrated Zhou's house last night, all kinds of clues are connected, and it is not difficult to deduce what we need. These fruits, wine, and meat that brought condolences to the soldiers by the way were just a disguise, an illusion for outsiders to see. ”
Jiang Ming fell into deep thought.
Liang Jin said: "Although things are developing in the direction we hope for, we still need to be extremely vigilant about the unknown Zhou family, after all, we can't tell whether they are friends or foes." When you go down to inspect the medicinal materials, you must also let the doctor carefully examine them, so as not to fall for the trick of Zhou Rongdu. ”
"Actually, you don't have to care so much, I don't think it's a bad thing to find the pit. Lin Han rubbed his chin and pondered: "We obviously had a confrontation with Zhou Rongdu at that time, and even Jiang Ming forced Zhou Rongdu to make a move, but he endured it, and let us go, and asked Zhou Kaiwei to send condolences to us as the head of the Zhou family this morning." This in itself is an act of goodwill, and Zhou Rongdu should be saying that maybe he is not friends with us, but at least he is not an enemy now. ”
Luo Hu said: "What Hanzi said is very reasonable, not fighting with you head-on, it means that Zhou Rongdu doesn't want to make the relationship between each other cold, we know him for the first time, and he is also the first time to encounter us, and he can let you leave without any means, which confirms this." Our identity in Jiaozhi City is still that of mountain bandits, and the reason why we have not done anything to the people of Jiaozhi City now is because we have been suppressed by the Yangta Wind, which is what the people see. And Zhou Kaiwei, as the head of the first family in Jiaozhi City, came to comfort our soldiers, in a way, it is helping us stabilize our position in Jiaozhi City, and to a certain extent, we are whitewashed. The forces that have been living in Jiaozhi City have made such a move, risking that they may be criticized by some people, and implementing a policy of 'currying favor' with us, which is to us to announce the position of the Zhou family, either friend or foe, or friend or foe. ”
Liang Jin nodded and said, "What you said is very right, Zhou Rongdu, as the core of that church, is also known as the son of Fang Yuan, he must have important things to do, so he is willing to spend such a big price to seal your mouth." In this case, we can only hold the original vigilance and accept this good intention. ”
Jiang Ming nodded and said, "It's better for you to compromise your words, I originally wanted to go to Zhou's house to make a fuss, but now it seems that there is no chance." ”
Everyone else had funny faces, but Meng Lang lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly he raised his head and said, "Alas, what Jiang Ming said is that he missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I have to wait." ”
Jiang Ming was planning to do one thing completely, and Meng Lang directly wanted to have some fun, and everyone couldn't help but stare speechlessly.
At this moment, two guards knelt down outside the door, and one of them said first: "Report to the commanders, Miss Zhou Yihui of the Zhou family is here again." ”
Lin Han's body was shocked, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Another guard said: "Report to the Eighth Commander, Miss Huan rushed out of the barracks and was confined, I don't know where to go!"
Chu Hong raised his head in surprise and froze in place.
