"Oh, it turned out to be Xiaojun, I wonder what is the matter with your kid coming to find the old man?" the big guy greeted Qian Jun very warmly as soon as he saw him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, this big guy has reaped a lot of benefits through his father's million-dollar relationship.

"Returning to Elder Cheng, junior here's news that is conducive to your faction being able to have more advantages when fighting with the Sword Gate. Although there is no guarantee that he will definitely defeat the Sword Gate, he can at least add a few points to the chances of winning. "Because the battle between the Tang Dynasty Mansion and the Sword Gate has become increasingly fierce, so that anyone with some information channels knows that the big war between the two factions may be about to break out.

Therefore, Qian Jun wanted to start from this aspect, and gain the favor of both parties by matchmaking to let Bodhi Zi join the camp of the Tang Dynasty. As for why he came to Elder Cheng, it was because his words were a heavyweight elder who could change Sect Master Cheng's decision.

Although this elder has no real power on the surface, this elder is the eldest brother and senior brother of Cheng Anmin, the current sect leader of the Tang Dynasty, named Cheng Ansheng. And this Elder Cheng's realm is not below Cheng Anmin, and he was also one of the most competitive among the sect master heirs back then.

It's just that Cheng Ansheng is used to the lazy days of idle clouds and wild cranes, so he doesn't want to be the sect master. Because he hates being busy with the affairs of the entire sect every day, if he is allowed to become the sect master, then he will definitely not be able to live a peaceful life.

However, in order to live a peaceful life in the future, it is best for the people of their faction to take the position of this suzerain. Otherwise, if he let the people of the rival faction become the people, he will be exhausted to death by those thankless tasks all day long, even if he wants to live a peaceful life. Therefore, Cheng Ansheng fully supported his younger brother to compete for the position of sect master.

It was precisely because of Cheng Ansheng's initiative to retreat that all the people in their faction admired him, and then they all supported Cheng Anmin. And his opponents are not very united internally, and basically each faction has at least two candidate representatives. As a result, the competition between these people and Cheng Anmin has lost its chance.

In addition, Cheng Anmin was originally a person with a strong sense of responsibility, not only his subordinates and companions, but even the old sect master appreciated him very much. So in the end, when the term of the old sect director expired, Cheng Anmin took over the position of sect master.

And what should be explained here is that the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty is not a lifelong system.

Because the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty government realized the harm of the lifelong system very early, and in order to prevent a certain family from occupying the position of the suzerain for a long time. (Although the position of suzerain is in the hands of the Cheng family, the family of the founding patriarch, nearly half of the time, it is still in the hands of other surnames.) ）

Therefore, the position of the suzerain of the Tang Dynasty government adopts a term system, with a term of office for a thousand years, and the suzerain can only be re-elected for three consecutive terms. Although there is no explicit provision that one cannot become the sect master again after serving three consecutive terms, according to the usual practice, the sect master will automatically become the Supreme Elder after leaving office, let alone compete for the position of the sect master again, and even all the affairs within the sect do not need to be managed.

And there is only one task for the Supreme Elder, that is, to cultivate with peace of mind and strive to reach the realm of saints as soon as possible. Therefore, it seems that the Tang Dynasty Mansion does not have a lot of high-end combat power, but there are more than two dozen Supreme Elders (Elders can also be promoted to Supreme Elders after a long time) who are concentrating on cultivation.

And this is also the biggest disadvantage of Jianmen compared with the Tang Dynasty. Except for a sect master, there are few top masters in the Sword Sect. Therefore, the foundation of the Sword Gate is still a lot worse.

But these have little to do with Cheng Ansheng now. At least for nearly three thousand years, he was confident that his younger brother would be able to sit firmly on the suzerain's throne, and he would just have to enjoy life.

In addition, in order to live a life in peace, Cheng Ansheng needs a lot of money to enjoy life. So Cheng Ansheng hooked up with Qian Million, and obtained a lot of money through Qian Million, and then lived a luxurious life.

No, Ansheng is a principled person, and although his cooperation with Qian Million is suspected of using power to go through the back door, at least it is still profitable through commercial means. He didn't do some things like fish and meat for the common people or selling official beards, so the problems that the Tang Dynasty government is facing now have nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, Cheng Ansheng is also the biggest supporter of Cheng Anmin's reforms. Because Cheng Ansheng also understands that only when the reform is successful, his peaceful life can go on forever.

To sum up, Cheng Ansheng is really a person who lives up to his name. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Cheng Ansheng, who advocates comfort and has no worries, will have the realm of the late stage of today's Tribulation Realm. Although there is still a long way to go from the saint realm, the people inside the Tang Dynasty Mansion think that it has a good chance of impacting that supreme realm.

And don't despise Cheng Ansheng just because he is a person who is content with pleasure, he is very smart and talented. This can be seen from the fact that he has always been content with pleasure but his cultivation has not been left behind, and he has taken the initiative to ask not to hold a position with real power.

Therefore, Qian Jun's little trick must not be able to hide the shrewd eyes of the elder.

So Elder Cheng smiled and said playfully: "Oh, your kid, the vice president of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, will actually care about the affairs of my faction, the old man is really flattered!" So let's be honest and don't think about the good things that can be sold cheaply.

And if it weren't for Qian Jun being the only son of Qian Million, if other people dared to pretend to be smart and good people in front of him, it would really be self-defeating.

Seeing that his cleverness was broken by Elder Cheng, Qian Jun was also a little embarrassed, and even a little afraid. Because at this time, it occurred to him that this time he was no longer facing the previous balance of power, or even weak negotiation opponents. It's someone strong enough to kill him in seconds. So Qian Jun, who didn't have a good mentality, almost caused a catastrophe because of his self-righteousness.

And Qian Jun also thought of his father's evaluation of this Elder Cheng at this time: "Cheng Ansheng, although he is a person with a free and easy personality and likes to enjoy life, he is definitely a scheming guy. A lot of times he's just too lazy to care, not because he can't see what's inside. Therefore, when facing Cheng Ansheng, we must be honest with each other, and we must not have a trace of caution. ”

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Qian Jun understood his father's wisdom until this time.

So Qian Jun can only smile awkwardly now to ease the tense situation.

"Elder Cheng's eyes, you can see the little bit of the kid's careful thoughts. But the kid is really thinking about your faction, after all, without your faction, there would be no our father and son today. It can be seen that the cooperation between Qian Million and Elder Cheng is no longer a matter of time and a half.

"Here's the thing," Qian Jun was ready to get down to business directly after expressing his thoughts, "The day before yesterday, I met a newly promoted sect master of the Terran Sanpin Sect, a Taoist priest named Bodhizi. Moreover, that sect master had just come here from Xiniu Hezhou for a few days, so if your faction could win him into the camp, wouldn't it be possible to increase the chances of defeating the Sword Sect?"

"In addition, the kid doesn't have any special extravagance, it's just that this sect master's sect has a specialty called the flying talisman, which is a one-time talisman that can make any person and thing fly quickly. Therefore, the kid hopes that the elder can come forward to help us match it and let him hand over all the transactions of this flying talisman to the kid to deal with. In the end, Qian Jun replaced his request.

After listening to Qian Jun's words, Elder Cheng felt that as long as Qian Jun's information was correct, what Qian Jun said was indeed very reasonable. And his request is nothing, anyway, as long as the price is right, who is not selling? So what Qian Jun needs is for him to come forward and pull a rope.

However, it was precisely because he saw through Qian Jun that Elder Cheng also knew that Qian Jun did not know that sect master. Or even if they know each other, then there is some misunderstanding between them. Otherwise, Qian Jun would not have let him come forward.

In this way, Qian Jun is equivalent to using the information of a Bodhi Zi in exchange for his Elder Cheng's mediation, plus some customary shares, in general, it is a fair deal.

It's just that Elder Cheng still has some questions: "What you said is indeed right, but why did that sect master join our camp?"

"This is not difficult, I just got the news, and now this Bodhi Sect Master is in your sect. It seems that you are looking for someone for something, and perhaps you can complete the alliance with it through your own appearance, Elder. Qian Jun said very simply.

"Oh, is it?" It's just that Elder Cheng was a little unhappy at this time.

"It turns out that this sect master is already with us, so what does it mean that you Qian Jun came to me? Do you think that no one in my sect can see his importance?" Elder Cheng didn't attack on the spot because he saw Qian Million's face, but he just planned to ask for more points after the matter was completed

However, if Qian Jun knew Elder Cheng's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for injustice, he just wanted to help Elder Cheng fight for the credit of finding an ally. But this can only be blamed on Qian Jun still not understanding Elder Cheng's character, he doesn't care about these credits at all.

"By the way, what's the name of that sect, the old man will see if he knows them?" Elder Cheng had already made a preliminary decision to help Qian Jun once, but before that, he still had to ask some information about Bodhizi.

Qian Jun didn't hear anything wrong, but replied very positively: "It's a sect called Fang Cunshan, the kid has never heard of it before, I think it's a new sect over there in Xiniu Hezhou." ”

"Fangcun Mountain...... You said that the name of that sect is Fang Cun Mountain. After hearing the three words of Fang Cunshan, Elder Cheng, who originally seemed very calm, suddenly became very surprised, as if he had bumped into a ghost.

"Yes, it is indeed Fang Cun Mountain, this is what the Bodhi Sect Master said himself. Elder Cheng, is there anything wrong with this?" Qian Jun wondered.

"Fang Cun Mountain, Xiniu Hezhou, isn't this sect already extinct?" After receiving Qian Jun's affirmative reply, Elder Cheng muttered quietly there.

Then, Elder Cheng ordered Qian Jun very seriously: "Boy, you hurry up and tell the old man all the information about this Bodhi Sect Master!" Even unconsciously, a powerful momentum was released and gave Qian Jun a lot of pressure.

It turned out that Elder Cheng liked to read some previous history books when he was bored, and he was also very concerned about some secrets of other sects. Therefore, Elder Cheng knows Fangcun Mountain, that is, he knows the history of the rise and fall of Fangcun Mountain, and he also knows its final demise, but he just doesn't know when it will rise again. That's why he was so excited.

"Yes!"

When Qian Jun saw that Elder Cheng was inexplicably angry, he couldn't help but think of many other real or unrealistic fantasies, such as whether Elder Cheng had a grudge against this Fang Cun Mountain, whether Elder Cheng would be angry with him because of this, whether Elder Cheng would not kill him to vent his anger, and many other real or unrealistic fantasies......

Although Qian Jun thought about a lot of things in his heart, in the end, he could only choose to honestly confess everything he knew. And he also vowed that he would never come to the trouble alone in the future.

In this way, Qian Jun mainly told Bodhi Zi that he had gone to the Huoyun Immortal and had a bad relationship with a son of the Han family because of a beautiful woman.

After hearing this information, Elder Cheng quickly found the point of it. If you can be received by the Fire Cloud Immortal for so long, and you have gone to that place, then it seems that this Bodhi Zi really belongs to the inheritance of the ancient Fangcun Mountain.

In this case, then he really needs to meet this sect master. Even his brother had to meet him, whether they were allied or not.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you go back and wait for the news first, and leave this matter to the old man to deal with. ”

Although Qian Jun still didn't know what had happened, why was there such a big gap between Elder Cheng and Elder Cheng, but since he was able to leave unharmed like this, and he could still get Elder Cheng's promise, then Qian Jun left satisfied.

However, Qian Jun still planned to go back and talk to his father, wondering why Elder Cheng was like this?

In this way, after Elder Cheng saw Qian Jun leaving, he sent someone to inquire about Bodhizi's whereabouts. Then he also began to prepare for a meeting with Bodhizi, after all, it was a formal meeting with a sect master of the Sanpin Sect, and it was better to be more solemn.

And after thinking about it carefully, Elder Cheng still decided to talk to his younger brother.

At this time, Bodhizi began to talk with the two elders.

Although Li Yuanbai was a little disappointed that he couldn't take the credit alone, he saw that the people who came were Elder Su in charge of security work and the six elders in charge of diplomatic work, all of whom were from their faction. Therefore, Li Yuanbai did not dislike the arrival of these two elders, and even thanked them for their arrival.

Because they came to help him Li Yuanbai clean up the mess, otherwise if Bodhizi left completely because of his quick success, then he would be too sorry for Sect Master Cheng.

Therefore, Li Yuanbai also took the initiative to introduce them to both sides, "This is the sect master of Fangcun Mountain, Bodhi Zidao." And these two are the elders of my faction, Elder Su and Elder Liu. In particular, this Elder Liu is an elder who is specifically responsible for managing and dealing with other sects, and I think I will definitely be able to reach a consensus with the sect master that satisfies both parties. ”

It can be seen that Li Yuanbai has realized his mistake. And after Bodhizi heard Bodhi Zi say this, he also had the desire to talk to these two elders again.

It's just a pity that these two elders are not as knowledgeable as Elder Cheng. Maybe it's because they have to be busy with all kinds of chores inside and outside the door all day long, so they don't have much time to read more books to recharge their batteries. So they don't know what the three words Fangcunshan mean.

In addition, there is actually the responsibility of the entire Tang Dynasty government. After all, in order to order the entire human race in the Later Fangcunshan era, the Tang Dynasty has been downplaying the fact of the existence of Fangcunshan in the past.

Although they did not tamper with or discredit the history of Fangcun Mountain, they never took the initiative to mention the matter of Fangcun Mountain among the human race. This made it so that over time, even most of the people in the Tang Dynasty Mansion did not remember that there was once a sect called Fangcun Mountain.

Soon, the deliberations between the two elders of Bodhi Zi and Liu Su reached a preliminary unification.

It's just that the reunification is unified, but the two elders Liu Su feel that they have come for nothing.

Because Bodhizi honestly admitted that their strength was very weak, and they could not provide any military support at all. Therefore, the two elders Liu Su quickly understood that Fang Cunshan was only preparing to wave the flag and shout, and could not provide much substantive support.

Therefore, for this kind of simple alliance, Elder Liu can make a decision on the spot.

In the preliminary discussions, Fang Cunshan promised that he would issue a statement in support of any action of the Tang Dynasty in the event of a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and any force, but Fang Cunshan had no obligation to send people to support the battle. In the same way, the Tang Dynasty Mansion is the same for Fang Cunshan.

And this simple agreement, as long as Elder Liu and the others go to ask Sect Master Cheng to sign a word, it can take effect.

Such an alliance doesn't really mean much, it's just a nominal support for each other, so that the other sects can think more about the consequences when they want to deal with them.

In fact, Bodhi didn't really want to sign such a false agreement. But later, he thought about it for a while, and he also felt that it seemed unrealistic to want to join the division of interests after the victory without paying anything.

Therefore, Bodhizi finally decided to have a preliminary relationship with the Tang Dynasty government, and as for the future, it will be strong in the future.

And Elder Liu also thought that Bodhizi was to establish a friendly relationship first as a newly promoted sect leader of the Sanpin Sect, and as for whether he could go further in the future, it would depend on his future work.

However, Bodhizi said that the strength of their Fangcun Mountain is not good, and even this sect master does not have the strength to cross the Tribulation Realm. So much so that he complained in his heart about how this Bodhi son became the sect master, and how this Fangcun Mountain became a Sanpin sect.

Therefore, Elder Liu didn't plan to spend too much thought on this square inch mountain, so it would be enough to have such a simple covenant. It can be regarded as nominally winning a strong reinforcement, maybe it can scare the Sword Gate! After all, the Sword Gate is just a three-grade sect?

However, this is also because Elder Liu does not know the relationship between Bodhi Zi and the Heavenly Palace, as well as the long history of Fang Cun Mountain. Otherwise, he would never have let Bodhi go so simply, and would definitely have demanded an unconditional offensive and defensive agreement, the highest level of alliance treaty.

In this way, after the discussion was completed, the two elders Liu Su took their leave. And agreed to come back tomorrow at this time for the official signing ceremony.

As soon as Elder Liu left, he began to think about how to make the most of this news of his alliance with a new sect to curb the declining prestige of their Great Tang Mansion, and finally to deal a blow to the rising prestige of the Sword Sect. It can be seen that this Elder Liu is still very conscientious.

It's just that Elder Su is a little disappointed, because he can't get much credit this time, and it can basically be said that he has worked all morning in vain. Therefore, Elder Su was somewhat disappointed and disappointed.

It's just that after the two elders Liu Su left, another disciple of the Tang Dynasty Mansion found Bodhi Zi and Li Yuanbai. He also said that Li Yuanbai hurriedly took Bodhi Zi to see Sect Master Cheng and Elder Cheng, and said that the two high-level officials were already waiting a little anxiously.

"Brother Yuanbai, didn't those two elders just leave, why did Sect Master Cheng want to see me so soon? Who is that other Elder Cheng?"

It's just that Li Yuanbai didn't have time to explain at all, so he directly pushed Bodhi Zi to the place where Sect Master Cheng lived, "Let's talk about it on this way, let's go quickly!"

"What's the hurry? I think it's better to find out why you're looking for me first! Besides, I'm not in his charge, why are you in such a hurry?" Bodhizi asked disapprovingly.

It's just that although Bodhizi is not in a hurry at all, Li Yuanbai is very anxious! After all, he is in charge of the Cheng Sect, and he is also the confidant of the Cheng Sect Master. If others knew that he dared to carry the orders of the sect master, then how could he still mix here in the future!

So Li Yuanbai could only beg Bodhi Zi to go faster. It's just that Bodhizi is still unmoved, insisting that Li Yuanbai and the person who came to report the news make it clear that he will go. Otherwise, he will go back and not stay here.

In this way, Li Yuanbai can only compromise. And the person who came to report the news was an errand runner, and he didn't know anything at all, so he could only rely on Li Yuanbai.

"Why Sect Master Cheng summoned us, in fact, I can't guess. But I think it's because the other people found out about it and reported the news that the Taoist Patriarch was here, so they came to summon you. So there won't be any big problems. As for Elder Cheng, he is the elder brother of Sect Master Cheng, and he is also an elder of the Tribulation Realm, but I heard that his life style is more luxurious. But fortunately, I haven't heard of the deeds of anyone who is sorry for him. In order to be in a hurry, Li Yuanbai could only say it concisely like this.

And Li Yuanbai was still very anxious to pull Bodhi Zi away, and even his face was red.

In this way, Bodhizi decided not to tease him anymore when he saw that Li Yuanbai was in a hurry to become like this.

"Okay, don't chase me anymore," Bodhizi first stopped Li Yuanbai's actions, and then said as he wished, "You can run as fast as you can in front, and I will definitely follow you." ”

After Li Yuanbai heard Bodhi Zi say this, he immediately became very grateful and said: "Thank you for the completion of the Dao Chang!"

After speaking, Li Yuanbai quickly ran towards the place where Sect Master Cheng was. And Bodhi Zi also kept his promise and followed closely.

Moreover, in the process of following, Bodhizi also thought about why Sect Master Cheng wanted to see him and the corresponding response plan.

"By the way, does your sect master know the history of our Cun Mountain?" Bodhizi asked the last question.

Although Li Yuanbai was running desperately, he didn't miss Bodhizi's question, "I don't know about this, but I shouldn't know about it, right?" After all, when I reported on the two things of Jianye City and the Flying Talisman last time, I talked about the matter of Dao Chang and your sect Fang Cun Mountain, but the sect master didn't have any special reaction, so he shouldn't know." ”

In this way, the two no longer had any conversation, but quickly moved towards their destination.
