"I guess too, Ning Zefeng is the deputy sect master of the Ghost Shadow Sect, but he is actually the personal staff of Emperor Yan Zhu Tingxun. This time, Yan Guo was already very difficult to face Qi Guo alone, and Deng Yuanjue's sudden sneak attack caught them off guard, if they didn't think of a way, Yan Guo would immediately follow in the footsteps of Chu State, and Ning Zefeng would definitely come to ask for help. Shi Luosheng agreed with Wang Lun's opinion.

"Then you can't see him? Ning Zefeng also has a little friendship with us. Liu Zixuan asked impatiently.

Shi Luosheng smiled: "Let's see each other, we will have more places to deal with Yan Guo in the future, if we don't see it this time, it will be embarrassing to see it next time." With our relationship with the Ning family, he should keep it a secret. ”

"Sect Master Ning, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we've always been fine." A familiar voice came from the back hall, and Ning Zefeng was full of surprise when he heard it, and stood up directly.

Seeing that the people who came out were indeed Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan, Ning Zefeng muttered to himself: "It's strange that this kid will go to Naba City without me, it turns out that the leader of the Tianluo Sect is your Shi Taifu." ”

"Hahaha, don't call Taifu anymore, Shi has already left the Song Kingdom, but I came out today to meet with Sect Master Ning, and asked the sect master to keep it secret for me, for the time being, I don't want others to know that I'm still alive." Shi Luosheng said with a smile.

"This is natural, the Shi Sect Master trusts him so much, how can he be such a mouthful person, don't worry, even if I return to the court, I will never mention the sect leader in front of Your Majesty." Ning Zefeng arched his hand.

After Shi Luosheng sat down on the main seat, he asked, "I don't know why the sect master came to my Rongcheng this time?" ”

Ning Zefeng just sat down and stood up again when he heard Shi Luosheng's question: "We are also old acquaintances, if you have anything to say, I will say it directly, this time Ning Mou came to ask for help from Sect Master Shi." ”

If it wasn't Shi Luosheng sitting opposite, Ning Zefeng might still use the banner of the cooperation alliance to convince the other party, now in his opinion, there is no need, what kind of person is Shi Luosheng, his fame has never relied on martial arts, but outstanding resourcefulness, playing careful in front of him, not only can't hide it, but hurt the personal relationship between the two.

"Oh?" Ning Zefeng's directness made Shi Luosheng a little surprised: "I don't know what my Tianluo Sect can do for Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Our Majesty wants to form an alliance with the Tianluo Sect to deal with the Qi State together, Shi Sect Master, you have returned to the Central Plains from overseas, I believe that you also have the heart to have a long time with Qi Song, our Yan Kingdom is willing to cede Dongchuan to you as a foundation, just hope that when the Qi State Navy attacks our Penglai, you Naba can send troops to help." Ning Zefeng finished his thoughts in one breath.

Ning Zefeng's words made Shi Luosheng embarrassed, not to mention that he saw through Yan Guo's purpose of selling Dongchuan at a glance, which was to let himself resist Sun Zhongmou for them.

In addition, it is impossible to ask him to send troops to directly confront the Qi State Naval Army, others don't know that Shi Luosheng is still alive, but there are many people in Qi who know about this. Back then, Jiang Huanyan sent troops to defeat Naha for him, which was already a debt of favor, if he still had to send troops to fight against others, then not to mention himself, even Jiang Wan'er did not look good on face.

"I'm sorry Sect Master Ning, I can't agree to this matter, Zixuan, you go and invite Wan'er out." Shi Luosheng rejected Ning Zefeng.

Seeing that he was rejected so simply, and there was no room for negotiation when he listened to his tone, Ning Zefeng was also surprised.

"Who is this?" Ning Zefeng saw that the woman in front of him was a little familiar, and asked curiously.

In fact, Jiang Wan'er and Ning Zefeng had two chances to meet, the first time was at the Youth World Heroes Conference, when both of them were on Tianzhu Peak, but Ning Zefeng never appeared in public, so he missed it.

The second time was when the Jiang brothers and sisters were chased and killed by the Hidden Star Sect, and they fled all the way to Yan Kingdom, but unfortunately they didn't go in at the gate of Anyang City in the end, and went directly to Changxing Island by boat from Penglai.

"This is Jiang Wan'er, the princess of Qi Kingdom, and we will hold a big wedding in Rongcheng next month." Shi Luosheng replied.

"Wan'er has seen Sect Master Ning." Jiang Wan'er generously bowed to Ning Zefeng.

"I see, then congratulations to Sect Master Shi." Ning Zefeng's face was a little ugly, and he asked unrelentingly, "Are you refusing to ally with our Dayan because of Princess Wan'er?" ”

Ning Zefeng was worried that if Shi Luosheng and Jiang Wan'er got married, would the army of the Luo Sect also join the army of Qi State to defeat Yan that day? You must know that although the power of the Tianluo Sect is small, whether it is an army or a naval army, it can directly attack the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the three forces of Qi, Song, and Tianluo will launch the six-way army together, and the Yan State will die within a year.

Looking at Ning Zefeng, who was sweating on his forehead, Shi Luosheng hurriedly comforted: "Sect Master Ning, rest assured, after my marriage with Wan'er, the Tianluo Sect is still an independent individual. With my personal friendship with Sect Master Ning and the Unyielding Brothers, our Tianluo Sect will never be an enemy of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Shi Luosheng made Ning Zefeng feel relieved, but he also did not forget to give a favor. The implication is that the Tianluo Sect will not send troops to the Yan Kingdom, but for the sake of the face of your Ning father and son, it has nothing to do with Zhu Tingxun, if we need the help of your father and son in the future, you can't refuse.

Ning Zefeng didn't care about this, and when he heard that Shi Luosheng would not send troops to fight Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm relieved to have the words of Sect Leader Shi, but don't you really think about the alliance?" Ning Zefeng remembered the scene when Shi Luosheng and Xiao Che came to Anyang to ask for an alliance, it was really feng shui in turn, and the way of heaven was a good reincarnation.

Shi Luosheng shook his head: "Let's put aside the matter of the alliance for the time being, if the Yan Kingdom needs any strategic materials, such as food, weapons, armor, etc., we can provide it to you, even if you just can't take out the silver, we can lend it to you interest-free." ”

It is impossible to form an alliance, in Shi Luosheng's eyes, the demise of the Yan Kingdom is irreversible, although he can make an alliance with him can delay his demise by a few years, but in this way, he will expose himself in advance, Deng Yuanjue will definitely take advantage of the fact that he is still weak and destroy himself at all costs.

Knowing that the Yan Kingdom was going to perish, Shi Luosheng was willing to contribute money to support it, just to let the Yan Kingdom support it for a while longer, and he would prepare for a while. It's better to pay someone to fight for you than to go to the battlefield yourself, and Naha is really not short of money now, saying that the daily income is small, and there are nearly 1,000 merchant ships coming and going every day, and the taxes they pay every year alone will not be less than the financial income of the entire Yan Kingdom, which is not counting the trade income of their own merchant ships. Taking out a little bit of it to support the war of the Yan Kingdom is just a drop in the bucket.

Ning Zefeng knew that this was already the best condition that Shi Luosheng could offer, although it did not meet expectations, it was a big gain.

"I also have one thing I would like to ask Sect Master Ning for help, our Tianluo Sect's forces on the mainland are all in the southwest region, and it is not near the sea here, so it is very inconvenient to transport materials. Can we take the route of Yan Country in the future and take the waterway back to Naha directly from Penglai Port? Although Shi Luosheng said that the Central Plains and overseas should develop separately, it will affect each other's business. Nishikawa has a strong reputation for sake brewing and bamboo weaving, and if it can be shipped overseas, it can also increase its financial revenue.

Ning Zefeng thought about it and didn't think it was a big deal, so he directly agreed.

After staying for another two days, Ning Zefeng couldn't wait to attend the wedding of Shi Luosheng and Jiang Wan'er, so he hurried back to Anyang to report to Zhu Tingxun.

A month later, Shi Luosheng and Jiang Wan'er held a wedding in Rongcheng, because their identities were inconvenient to reveal, so not many people knew about it, except for the high-level Tianluo Sect in the southwest region who participated, only Takenaka Shigeji and Hua Haoxuan came to Naha.

This is the first time that Takenaka Shigeji has come to the Central Plains, and he originally said that he would not participate, but Ning Zefeng agreed that the Tianluo sect members can enter and leave Yan Country freely, which is much more convenient than the previous detour to Jiaozhou, and Takenaka Shigeji also took the opportunity to come over and have a look, accompanied by Hua Haoxuan along the way, and there will be no danger.

As for the Qi State, Jiang Huanchu was still fighting on the front line, and Jiang Huanyan was also preparing to send troops to Penglai in Jiaozhou, and the two only sent people to send generous gifts. Although Jiang Wushuang loves Jiang Wan'er very much, it is impossible for him to come to Rongcheng to congratulate him in person, the crown prince Jiang Huan Song is the prince of the country, and he can't move lightly, so he has to send Jiang Huan Qin to come to congratulate him.

Speaking of Jiang Huanqin, he had a conflict with Shi Luosheng and others when they went to Beijing, and now Jiang Huan Chu is also in the limelight among the four princes, and he is a popular candidate to compete for the prince, so Jiang Huan Qin will come to Rongcheng, which also surprises everyone.

In addition, although the Ning father and son were busy resisting the invasion of foreign enemies and did not come to the scene, they also sent people to send generous gifts, which made Shi Luosheng quite moved.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Huanyan, the third prince of Qi, has led a hundred warships from Jiaozhou, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Penglai in half a month." Ning Zefeng reported to Zhu Tingxun.

Although he had been prepared, when he heard the news, Zhu Tingxun was still very worried: "Do you say that this Niu Qingyuan can prevent Jiang Huanyan?" He's a pirate, so he won't run away with the navy when he sees the enemy's strength, right? ”

Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and the defenders of land warfare can rely on the city to defend it, and naval warfare cannot be prevented, but it is extremely convenient to escape.

Ning Zefeng was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Zhu Tingxun to distrust Niu Qingyuan so much: "Although Commander Niu is a pirate, he has also surrendered to my Dayan for more than ten years, so he will not escape from the battle." Besides, in terms of naval warfare, in addition to being unyielding, I am afraid that there is no one in the country who is better at it than Commander Niu, so Your Majesty should relax. ”

Zhu Tingxun didn't say the wrong thing in a hurry, he didn't worry about Niu Qingyuan for a reason, this person has no foundation in Yan Kingdom, he doesn't even have a family, if he really leads a force to run away and become a pirate again, then won't he become a big wrongdoer?

"Sect Master Ning, why don't you pick a few people with strong martial arts from your Ghost Shadow Sect to assist Commander Niu?" Zhu Tingxun still wanted to send a few people over to monitor.
