Mingzhou City, Council Hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, all the leaders of the Xiuzhen family who were in charge of affairs in Mingzhou City gathered together to face a very difficult problem together.

At this time, it had been a month since the last Demon Beast Tide attack and the port attack, and in that large-scale attack, the ordinary people were lucky not to be hit by the waves, although they were not completely without losses, their losses could be said to be insignificant compared to the losses of the Xiuzhen family.

The attack of the demon beast did not bring any damage to Mingzhou City, and even the demon beasts failed to cause a trace of damage to the wall made of Kunlun stone, and only used their own blood to wash the wall. But the port attack on the other side was a different story entirely, and the attack from the sea demon clan, the foreign half-bloods, and the mysterious enemy destroyed the entire port.

The destruction of this port, which had cost Mingzhou City many years of accumulated materials, made the efforts of all the Xiuzhen families in Mingzhou City ruined, even if the materials left in their families were not robbed, they could not make up the materials to build the port, at least they could not build a port of that size. Not to mention that now that their treasure trove has been ransacked, even if they want to repair the port, there are no supplies available.

Because when that port was built, a lot of cultivation materials were used, and although those things could not be used to refine magic weapons or pills, they were all excellent organ materials. The Xiuzhen family did this, naturally hoping that the port could be used for a very long time.

Now that the port has been destroyed, all the agreements reached with foreign powers cannot be fulfilled, those foreign tourists who arrived in Mingzhou City cannot return home, and those who rely on the port to survive have lost their jobs.

“…… This is the situation, let's talk about how to deal with it?" The head of the Situ family leaned back on the chair, stroked his eyebrows with his right hand, and asked with a sad face.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they have no intention of speaking.

The head of the Situ family, who had already taken over the leadership of Mingzhou City from the Ouyang family, swept around the crowd irritably, and his mood was even more uncomfortable. These families who are not strong, have poor qualifications, and lack of background are okay, why do you Lin family and Ouyang family also sit with their noses upright, like a Bodhisattva statue?

"Ouyang Family Master, do you have any way?"

Since you don't take the initiative to speak, then I'll let you answer. With such an idea, the head of the Situ family directly asked Ouyang Ye by name.

This is a formal occasion, even if the head of the Situ family is higher than Ouyang Ye, he has to call Ouyang Ye the head of the Ouyang family, not Xiao Yezi.

Hearing the Situ family master ask himself to answer by name, Ouyang Ye did not look at the Situ family master for the first time, but first glanced at the Lin family master, and then stood up. At the same time, there was also the head of the Lin family who stood up, and he basically acted in sync with Ouyang Ye.

This situation made the head of the Situ family feel a little bad, as if something very bad for the Xiuzhen family was about to happen.

Sure enough, Ouyang Ye and the Lin family master didn't say a word, and after standing up, they walked straight to the door of the council hall and opened the door of the council hall.

A True Spirit Realm monk dressed in the costume of the Qionghua Sect was standing outside the door, and he felt the door open, and naturally turned around, until then he had been observing the sky.

Smiling at Ouyang Ye and the head of the Lin family, this Qionghua sent an envoy into the meeting hall. Behind him, Ouyang Ye and the Lin family master naturally closed the gate and stood in place at the same time, guarding the gate like guards.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Mingzhou City, I have met you in Xia Qionghua, who sent an envoy - Zixu. ”

Although this Zixu just looked at him with a smile, whether it was the head of the Situ family or the heads of other families, they all felt an unmistakable momentum emanating from him, this was the bearing of the sect in charge of a state.

"Purple Characters...... Purple Void Daoist is the disciple of Master Xuanxiao, the head of the Qionghua Sect today?" The head of the Situ family stood up first, greeted Zixu, and asked at the same time.

Zixu replied with some arrogance: "Exactly." ”

"Then I don't know what the purple void Taoist friend is saying about coming to Mingzhou City this time?"

Although everyone present knew what Zixu was here for, at this moment, he had to pretend to be stupid and act as if he didn't know anything.

Since the head of the Situ family asked, then he must answer truthfully. First saluting to the master of the Situ family, Zi Xuan slowly spoke, "A month ago, there was a demon beast tide attack and a port attack in Mingzhou City, and such a major event has already alarmed Yunmengting, so we naturally want to send someone to investigate clearly. Of course, the junior brother who is under this matter is leading people to investigate, and I am not responsible for this matter. ”

After a slight pause, observing everyone's expressions, Zixu didn't see any changes on the faces of these old guys, after all, there was nothing to hide from the investigation, and they all knew it. However, that kind of thing does not involve the autonomy of Mingzhou City, and naturally there is no need to discuss it here, because this is the Mingzhou City Council Hall, and it is a place to discuss the internal affairs of Mingzhou City.

"As you know, most of the cities in Yunzhou, especially the coastal cities, are governed in an autonomous way. As long as we don't go against Yunmengting's decree, our Qionghua faction will not interfere in many cities and let them develop on their own. Glancing at the head of the Xiuzhen family present, and seeing their brows furrowed, Zi Xuan said with a smile, "Of course, this time is the same. Although such a major event happened, Mingzhou City did not do anything illegal, and you can still maintain your autonomy. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so it seemed that the Qionghua faction would not establish a branch of Yunmengting in Mingzhou City.

The autonomy of the Xiuzhen family is the rule set by the Qionghua faction when it was in charge of a state, and it is also set that under certain circumstances, the Qionghua faction can form a Yunmengting branch to replace the city autonomy, but as a big faction, the Qionghua faction has not yet taken the initiative to frame other cities, so as to forcibly form a Yunmengting branch.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, but only the head of the Situ family still frowned and asked, "Why did the Purple Void Daoist come here?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to talk about a deal. ”

"Business?" "What do you mean?" "The Qionghua faction wants to do business with us?"

The head of the Situ family didn't speak, just looked at Zixu, thinking about what he wanted to do.

Suddenly, the head of the Situ family noticed Ouyang Ye and the head of the Lin family standing at the door, and saw that they ignored Zixu's words, and did not seem to have any surprise.

This made the head of the Situ family grit his teeth and look at the two of them with resentment. If it is as expected, whether it is Ouyang Ye or the Lin family master, they should have reached an agreement with the Qionghua faction and will unconditionally support the actions of the Qionghua faction.

"I know that Mingzhou Port was destroyed in the last attack, and the fellow Daoists in charge of Mingzhou City can't come up with the same materials to build another Mingzhou Port. Therefore, on behalf of our Qionghua faction, I am willing to contribute materials and personnel to help you build another Mingzhou Port and build a bigger and better Mingzhou Port. When Zixu said this, he deliberately paused and looked at everyone's expressions.

Although many people showed a surprise on their faces, most of them had even more ugly faces, because Zi Xuan had not yet said his conditions.

"Of course, this is a transaction, and our Qionghua faction will not contribute in vain. Therefore, in exchange, all the proceeds of the new Mingzhou Port can be attributed to Mingzhou City, and the management of the port needs to be taken over by the Qionghua faction, and Mingzhou City cannot interfere. ”

Before half of the people with joyful faces could speak, the head of the Situ family immediately replied with righteous words: "This can't be done, the management of the port cannot be fully handed over to the Qionghua faction, and Mingzhou City must have a part of the management power." ”

After speaking, the head of the Situ family deliberately looked at Ouyang Ye and the head of the Lin family behind Zixu, and asked, "What do you mean by the two of you? Since you are a member of Mingzhou City, you naturally ...... too."

"We, the Ouyang family (Lin family), agree to the proposal of the Qionghua faction. Ouyang Ye and the Lin family master returned in unison.

The head of the Situ family was a little angry, he thought that the Ouyang family would be completely bought, but the Lin family was the same, which made him angry.

Zixu was a little proud when he heard the words of the two people behind him.

The Ouyang family and the Lin family were the main reasons for the attack on the port, the former attracting the black-robed foreign half-bloods, and the latter provoking the demon clans in the sea outside Mingzhou City. So before this meeting, Zixu deliberately secretly found the two families, and after some coercion and temptation, they agreed to his proposal.

[It's just ......] Zixu glanced back at Ouyang Ye and remembered what the master said to him.

"Don't provoke the Ouyang family! Maintain cooperation with them, and would rather lose a little benefit. ”
