Chapter 320: Wait and see
It is rare for Dong Liang to directly interfere in specific affairs, and what he said, the princes Dong Chou, Sun Quanzong, and Chen Zhiyi naturally did not dare to disobey the slightest, but Zhao Ruhui stood on the spot in a daze, not knowing what to say. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Hai returned to Juquanling to spread the news that he wanted to set up a new workshop outside the Craftsman's Association, and no matter how he defended himself, outsiders would think that he had the ambition to set up his own door, not to mention that Chen Hai was so strict with the conditions for the Craftsman to join this workshop.
Zhao Ruhui was able to join the workshop, but Shenhou actually arranged for him to infiltrate the workshop as a spy so that he could bring the secret map of the intermediate divine chariot back to the Taiwei Sect in the future.
Zhao Ruhui can stay in the aftermath, even if the Shenhou orders to eradicate the forces of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, he will also succumb to the orders of the Shenhou, and even the previous prince Dong Chou deliberately arranged for Sun Quanzong to imprison Chen Hai, he has no idea of reporting the news, he always remembers that he is a disciple of Taiwei Sect.
He made a big oath of loyalty to the sect right away, even if he has been very close to the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion over the years, but when it comes to the moment when water and fire are incompatible, he will still choose to be loyal to the sect.
It's just that he doesn't want to join the study with such a scheming.
"What, what do you think?" Dong Liang looked at Zhao Ruhui calmly.
"Shenhou," Zhao Ruhui knelt on his knees and said bitterly, "Ruhui was in his nineties at the time, his body was withering, and if he had the heart to serve the sect, he was afraid that he would be powerless; ”
Zhao Ruhui clearly rejected the arrangement of the gods.
Sun Quanzong and Chen Zhiyi glanced at each other, and then looked at the prince Dong Chou.
In the battle of Yuchicheng, there are still many shortcomings exposed in the primary Shenji chariot, and many of the requirements that Chen Hai made before in the Juquanling Craftsmen Association, if they can be solved one by one, it is precisely these drawbacks that can be overcome, and then the Shenji chariot will be the real big killer on the battlefield.
In particular, the bottleneck of the low production of quenched iron has been preliminarily resolved, and from the construction of the Hexi Army itself, it is absolutely intolerable to not be able to obtain the secret plan for the manufacture of the medium-level divine machine chariot.
"Chen Hai wants to set up a workshop outside the control of the Nine Great World Lords, no matter how arrogant he is, he also knows that this is not an easy task, otherwise he would not have put on a posture of tearing his face with Hexi," Dong Liang said calmly, "and the other families are silent at this time, and they are more of an attitude of waiting and watching Hexi." Now that Hexi has taken the initiative to back down, even if Chen Hai can guess that you are studying with ill intentions, he will not be able to tolerate it? You go, you may have no hope of cultivating the Dao Dan in this life, but does the Zhao clan have any children with excellent qualifications, you can recommend three or five people to enter the Seven Peaks to practice......
There are many martial arts and Xuan cultivation in Hexi like a carp crossing the river, but there are very few who can really enter the inner gate of the seven peaks on Taiwei Mountain to practice, and only the sect lords above the marquis of the knighted pavilion have the qualifications to directly send their sons to the inner gate of the seven peaks to practice.
At this time, Shenhou gave Zhao Ruhui's descendants a direct opening of three or five places, which was already extremely preferential, of course, this also wanted Zhao Ruhui to be a good eyeliner by Chen Hai's side with peace of mind.
"Thank you for your favor. Zhao Ruhui knew that he had no room to refuse, so he could only kowtow and thank him.
Dong Liang waved his hand and asked Zhao Ruhui and the others to retreat.
***************************
The discussion of the Tibetan Machine Valley is naturally top secret, and it will not be leaked to the outside world, even Dong Pan, Xie Quanting, Chen Jue and others don't know what happened after Zhao Ruhui and Sun Quanzong returned to the sect.
They could only see Zhao Ruhui and Sun Quanzong returning to the Baishiling Daoist Academy, they were all worried, and their mood was quite low.
What can give people a glimpse of the mystery is that the Hexi Metropolitan Protector Army and Taiwei Sect subsequently issued several edicts.
Summoned Chen Lie to return to the sect to devote himself to cultivation, transferred Sun Quanzong to the Qinwang Army in Hexi, replaced Chen Lie as the deputy commander, and assisted Qin Muhou Dong Shou in handling Heyang military affairs.
As one of the personal disciples of Wuwei Shenhou Dong Liang, Sun Quanzong was naturally qualified to serve as a senior general at the level of the deputy envoy of the capital protection, but for Chen Lie, it was definitely not a normal order.
Even if Chen Lie is already in the realm of the half-step Dao Dan, if he wants to truly cultivate the Dao Dan, he needs to cultivate the Dan Seed for a long time, and he will not be able to step directly into the Dao Dan Realm so early;
At this time, Chen Lie was in the prime of his career, and the introductory cultivation was mainly personal, Chen Lie was suddenly ordered to return to the Taiwei Sect to practice, in the eyes of outsiders, how could Chen Lie be robbed of all power.
In addition to this biggest transfer, Sun Buregret was also transferred from the Baishiling Provincial Academy to Lucheng and served as the elder of the Lucheng Provincial Academy. Ge Xuanqiao's status is extremely high, even if he is in Lucheng, nominally he is only traveling the world, and he will not hold a specific position - Sun Buregret was accepted by Ge Xuanqiao earlier, and he was transferred to Lucheng, which does not seem particularly abrupt, and his status in the sect has become more important, but this also means that there are fewer and fewer people in the Baishiling Daoist Academy who are close to the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion.
Xie Quanting, Chen Jue and his wife stayed in Baishiling, Xie Quanting entered the Craftsmen's Association on behalf of Hexi, and Chen Jue served as the supervisor of Baishiling Daoyuan.
Everything, whether it is in the eyes of the people of the Baishiling Daoist Academy, or in the eyes of other sect lords, can be regarded as Chen Hai's first return to Juquanling, which has already made some big people in Hexi quite dissatisfied, but considering that Chen Hai has just made great achievements in Qianghu, Hexi does not want to tear his face directly at this time, but through these methods, he hopes to put pressure on Chen Hai and let Chen Hai not go too far.
Zhao Ruhui, who has a closer relationship with the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, returned to Baishiling as scheduled, which does not explain anything.
Zhao Ruhui is already in his nineties, whether he is cultivating or being spiritual, he has long passed his peak, and his body is also getting weaker.
Even if Zhao Ruhui still stayed in the Baishiling Daoist Academy, even the position of the elder of the prison was replaced by Sun Quanzong and Chen Jue, which made him even more insignificant.
This kind of speculation made the atmosphere in Liquan solemn for a while, but it also made the other eight world lords more patient to watch the development of the situation.
In early November, the cold snap went south, and the goose feather snow had been scattered over Juquanling for two days, the heaven and the earth were covered in silver, and there was no filth in sight, and the heaven and the earth were magnificent.
Chen Lie handed over military affairs, and it was not until late October that he was able to leave the Hexi Army and return to Taiwei, even Chen Lie did not know when he would have the opportunity to go out when he returned to Taiwei this time, so he was also delayed all the way, and it was not until early November that he passed through Qintong Mountain and rushed to Juquanling to live for a few days.
Chen Jue and Chen Lie are cousins separated by two generations, Xie Quanting is Chen Lie's sister-in-law, and when he was young, he also traveled the world with a sword.
Zhao Ruhui, as an old man, also accompanied Chen Jue, Xie Quanting, and Dong Pan to climb the middle peak of Juquanling at this time to make a trip for Chen Lie.
It has only been more than a month since Chen Hai returned to Liquan, and the changes in the middle peak and valley of Juquan Ridge have been great.
Under the peaks and cliffs, beyond the plum forest, in the cold wind cliff valley, along the meandering streams, dozens of bamboo houses and bamboo buildings of different sizes have been built.
Although Chen Hai handed over the management of Juquanling to the Craftsmen's Association two years ago, the real value of Juquanling is the quenching gold sand mine at the bottom of Juquan Lake and many war weapon casting workshops. At this time, the Craftsmen's Association had moved the large and small foundry factories into Liquan City, and also planned to build a new wharf at the east entrance of Juquan Lake, so that the quenched gold placer ore would be directly transported into Liquan City for smelting, and Juquanling would become less important, and the Craftsmen's Association also intended to return Juquanling to Zhaoyang Tinghou's Mansion as Chen Hai's cultivation place.
It's just that more than a month has passed since Chen Hai returned to Juquanling and spread the news of another craftsman's workshop, but everyone is waiting to see how the situation develops, at least on the surface, it hasn't made much waves.
Even the many refining cultivators who had gathered in Liquan in the past two years had considered the strong attitude that the Nine Great World Lords might have, and they did not dare to easily climb to the middle peak of Juquan Ridge at this time.
The Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion has become a force, and it should not be underestimated in any place, maybe the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion wants to break away from Hexi and set up its own door in other places, and other sect lords will stand by and watch, and maybe even secretly make a force, anyway, it is to dig the foot of the wall in Hexi and weaken the power of Hexi, who would not be happy?
In Liquan, however, the situation is too special.
The Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion wants to set up its own door in Liquan, and Chen Hai wants to recruit a large number of craftsmen to the banner of the Craftsman Workshop, whether Hexi can tolerate it is another matter, this will actually directly affect the direct control of Liquan through the Nine Great World Lords, which means that Chen Hai may want to take back the quenching gold placer ore at the bottom of Juquan Lake from the control of the Nine Great World Lords, and this problem is serious.
Many scattered cultivators, before they saw the situation clearly, how many people dared to act rashly, once something really happened, they were not allowed to follow the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to pieces?
Therefore, Zhao Ruhui followed Xie Quanting and Chen Jue to climb the middle peak of Juquanling, and saw that there were only more than 100 craftsmen gathered in the Meilin Bamboo House, and almost half of these more than 100 people were craftsmen who followed Chen Hai in Juquanling in the early days.
The other forty or fifty craftsmen who climbed the middle peak were also from poor families, in fact, they all took refuge in the sect, and the sect had no way, and there was no better way out in this life.
Except for the craftsmen of the original Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, there was not even a single character in the other craftsmen who opened the spirit realm, seeing this scene, Xie Quanting, Chen Jue, and Dong Pan were also quite satisfied after seeing it, thinking that if Chen Hai could retreat in the face of difficulties, this matter would not cause any interference.
