043 A-for-tat banquet (4)
Just when the Sword Sect and the Taixuan Sect were meditating hard because of the sudden appearance of Fang Cun Mountain, and when Elder Mingyue was still easing the relationship with Bodhizi, Sect Master Cheng was also analyzing the current situation with his elder brother.

"Brother, what do you think of the attitude of the three second-grade sects of Huasheng Temple, Daughter Village, and Shenmu Forest towards the dispute between us and the Sword Sect. "Because it has been determined that the Taixuanmen and the Poison Gate have already worn the same pants as the Sword Gate, and the beggar gang is an absolute neutral. Therefore, the attitude of these three second-grade sects is the decisive factor that determines the outcome of their dispute with the Sword Sect.
"It's not optimistic!" Cheng Anchang said with a shake of his head.
Because from the people who attended the banquet from these three sects, you can see their general attitude.
First of all, the Divine Wood Forest, although their main high-level leaders, including the sect master, have arrived, but the Divine Wood Forest is really neutral. As long as the people of the Sword Sect didn't want to break the seal of the Martial God Altar, then they would definitely not interfere in this matter. So it doesn't mean anything if any of them come.
And although their sect master of the Huasheng Temple came, the iconic Sanzang Grand Master did not come. Therefore, it can be seen that the Huasheng Temple does not want to wade into troubled waters at this time.
As for the daughter's village, it was even more excessive, not a single heavyweight came. Don't think that the people from their Tang Dynasty Mansion don't know, except for Yaqi, who is just a beautiful woman in the Ascension Realm, the rest of the people from their daughter village are intelligence officers lurking in Chang'an. Although each of them is as beautiful as a flower, it is a fart!
It can be seen that the daughter village attaches the least importance to the Tang Dynasty government, and is not even willing to maintain the surface work.
As for the remaining small sects, no matter how many of them were, their will would not have even the slightest impact on the battle between the Tang Dynasty Mansion and the Sword Sect. They're just cannon fodder.
Therefore, Elder Cheng only cared about the attitudes of the three sects, Huasheng Temple, Daughter Village, and Shenmu Forest.
"Why don't we go and fight for the beggar gang?" After listening to his brother's views on the situation, Sect Master Cheng, who felt that the situation was indeed not optimistic, thought of such a way to win the support of the beggar gang, a three-grade sect.
It's just that Elder Cheng is not optimistic about such a proposal.
Let's not mention whether the beggar gang will give up the principle of neutrality and support the Tang government, in terms of the strength of the beggar gang, although the number is indeed large, it is not even less than the people in their Tang government. But most of the beggars are really a group of people called Hanako to make up the numbers, and there are really not many people who can fight, and there are even fewer high-end combat power.
Besides, if you want to win the support of the beggars, who mainly focus on the interests of beggars, I'm afraid the best bargaining chip is to increase the welfare of Hanako. But this is actually not advisable, after all, there will always be only a minority of people who beg for their own irresistible reasons, especially in this basically smooth world, most of the people who beg are lazy guys.
Therefore, the Beggar Gang is a very complex sect, and I am afraid that even their own sect master may not be able to manage all the disciples well.
In this way, how much point is it to attract the support of the beggars?
It is precisely because of these reasons that although the high-level leaders of the beggar gang who attended the meeting were not dressed in a down-and-out manner, and their combat effectiveness was not low, they did not have the power to go back and take the initiative to win them over. It's not that the beggar gang is a group of people called Hanako, but the cost performance of wooing them is too low.
It can be seen that although Sect Master Cheng has great ambitions and a relatively good reform plan, his ability to do so in diplomacy is not very good.
"Then what are we going to do, implement the second set of plans?" After the suggestion was rejected by his brother, Sect Master Cheng could only think of using the second set of plans.
In fact, in Elder Cheng's opinion, the Huasheng Temple, the Daughter Village, and even the Divine Wood Forest are not impossible to pull into the same camp. After all, since the war against the Wu Clan, everyone has had a friendship for tens of thousands of years.
Although there are indeed a lot of small contradictions, especially after the decay of Fangcun Mountain, the small contradictions between the Tang Dynasty and the Huasheng Temple can be said to be continuous every year. But there is really no contradiction in the fight. Therefore, as long as the Tang Dynasty government can divide the power in its hands to some of these three sects like the Sword Gate, it is not too difficult to win their support.
It's just that this plan, which is not difficult to say or not, and whether it is simple or not simple, will definitely not be passed at the internal meeting of the Tang Dynasty. Those stubborn old-fashioned factions are not willing to let the power in their hands decrease at all, even if those powers have little to do with them, but they still do it for the good of the Tang Dynasty.
However, these diehards cannot be said to be wrong, after all, after the division of power, it is easy to lead to the division of those major factions, resulting in the division of the Tang Empire. Therefore, without the premise of an advanced system, the so-called strategy of Jianmen to rule the world together is not better than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the beginning of a relatively complete split of the Terran forces.
But no matter what the future holds, anyway, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty government to share power with the Huasheng Temple, the Daughter Village, and the Shenmu Forest before it undergoes a comprehensive reform. In this way, it is impossible to talk about the further deepening of relations with them.
Therefore, in the case that you can't rely on the situation to suppress the Sword Gate in this banquet, you can only choose the second option, that is, let's fight directly!
Of course, the contest here refers to the contest within a limited scope.
After the Cheng brothers discussed the decision, and after passing the qi with the other elders, Sect Master Cheng was ready to officially announce a blockbuster news.
Sect Master Cheng first saw the dancing girl who was dancing at the right time, and said that he had something important to say.
Then, the audience fell silent, and they all looked up at Cheng Anmin. Especially the group of people from the Sword Gate, they knew that Cheng Anmin must have other purposes in holding this banquet.
"Everyone present, it is said that our Datang has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years (the battle of immortals and demons has not affected Datang), do some people think that life is too boring?" After some polite words, Sect Master Cheng cut directly to the main body.
And everyone present knew that those who felt that life was too boring in his mouth were referring to the group of people from Jianmen.
Therefore, before Sect Master Cheng could continue to speak, the Sword Gate's Sect Master, Dugu Sword Emperor, spoke: "If the world is really peaceful, who will be bored? It's a pity that there is no war, which doesn't mean that the people are not living in dire straits. ā
The implication of the Dugu Sect Master is that if the people live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of your Tang Dynasty Mansion, then our Sword Sect will not be so boring to come out and meddle in things!
"Don't be excited, Master Dugu, I just told the truth, whether this world is really as unbearable as you said You know it yourself. And why I am here to say boring, I just want to hold a conference that belongs to our human race. ā
In this way, Sect Master Cheng said his plan to hold a competition. This also means that their Tang Dynasty government will be on a par with Jianmen in this conference, and whoever dares to oppose the holding of this conference means that they admit it. And the sect that admits instigation is not qualified to continue to compete with the Tang Dynasty.
