Chapter 107: Joy and Sorrow
Cloud Pond Lower Courtyard
The new head of the courtyard, Zhou Fang Xiaozhi, looked at the exquisite courtyard in front of him proudly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Zhangyuan, this cloud pond is adjacent to the peak cloud pool, the scenery is elegant and beautiful, the flowers and colors are different in the four seasons, it is really a great place for cultivation, no worse than the sect. Zhu Haiping stood behind him and introduced him to the benefits of Yunchi's lower courtyard one by one, and his mood seemed to be very happy.
"Yes, yes, it's indeed a good place, by the way, where did Wang Tong live before?!"
"Oh, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he has been living in an ordinary meditation room in the lower courtyard, and he has a bit of a sense of seclusion, saying that he is used to cultivating in a quiet place. Zhu Haiping said with a smile.
"Cultivating in a quiet place? This Wang Tong is working hard, no wonder it started so quickly, by the way, what about the mutual market transactions between him and the demon clan?
"This ......!" Zhu Haiping couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "All the terms of the transaction were personally negotiated with the snake concubine, no one followed when he went, and after he came back, he told us about the situation of the mutual market, which is the one you saw before, in addition, it is unknown if there was any private agreement when they met, but in my opinion, it is best to have a private agreement." ”
"Why?" Zhou Fangxiao asked puzzledly, "The mutual market is good for us, but if there is a private transaction between them, we don't know, I'm afraid it will affect the mutual market, that snake queen in Ten Thousand Snake Ridge is not easy to mess with." ”
"Although Snake Ji Qingmeng is powerful, we don't need to worry if we have Xiao Hanshan as the backing, if Wang Tong really has a private deal with that Snake Queen, and there is a place to sell Xiao Hanshan's interests, we can just cure him of an adulterous demon clan, so let him stay in the Heavenly Punishment Palace." ”
"You have a lot of grudges against him, but it's a good idea. Zhou Fangxiao's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and said, "The two clans are trading with each other, what a big thing, how can Wang Tong be virtuous, it can be done as soon as he talks about it, how can there be such a good thing in this world, he must have secretly promised the snake Ji Qingmeng any benefits, then Qingmeng is so good at talking, otherwise the predecessor of the head of the court has already talked about it, how can it be Wang Tong's turn to talk, do you say yes." ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Commander is wise!"
"This kind of transaction must be secret and private, but since you communicate with the demon clan, there will inevitably be clues, and you will always be able to find out, Elder Zhu, you are the deacon of the lower court of Yunchi, and this matter is related to the interests of the lower court and Xiao Hanshan, I will authorize you to pursue it with all your might, do you have any objections?"
"Obey, Lord Xie Zhangyuan trusts. Zhu Haiping was so overjoyed that he almost fell to the ground on the spot.
"Master of the Academy!"
The two were discussing, but they saw a sword light flashing, and Qin Wuwei's figure appeared in front of the two of them, and gave Zhou Fangxiao a salute, "Qin Wuwei has seen the master of the courtyard. ”
"Elder Qin doesn't have to be polite, I see that you came here in a hurry, there must be something important, right?!"
Zhou Fangxiao said very politely, although there was a trace of hypocrisy in his politeness, but Qin Wuwei didn't care about this, as the most senior elder of the Yunchi Lower Court, in the face of this kind of great change, he was most concerned about how to keep his current status.
Some people covet the position of the head of the court, and naturally some people covet the position of the first elder, Zhu Haiping in front of him is the biggest threat, but this is also a helpless thing, Zhu Haiping and the new head of the court Zhou Fangxiao have a friendship in the sect, they belong to the same lineage, Zhou Fangxiao came to be the head of the court, Zhu Haiping naturally rose to the top, plus his qualifications are too old, he really can't pull his head down in front of Zhou Fangxiao, so now, his status is really a little embarrassing.
"Lord Zhangyuan, there are some scattered cultivators in the Fang City who are dissatisfied and want to see the master. ”
"See me, what is there to see, the announcement has been issued, it is impossible to change it, otherwise what will become of my words as the head of the court, you go and tell them that there is no shortage of loose cultivation in Yunchifang City, if you are not satisfied, you can leave." ”
"This ......!" Qin Wuwei thought that he had misheard, and raised his head in some astonishment, "Commander, this is not good." ”
"What's wrong, it's just a group of loose cultivators, it's already the greatest gift for them to stay in Yunchifang City, and they even dare to bargain with me, I don't know what to do!"
"Elder Wuwei, since the head of the academy asked you to do this, you just do it, why bother so much, could it be that those scattered cultivators can still turn the world upside down?!" Zhu Haiping said in a mocking tone, "Or, do you think their request is reasonable?!"
Qin Wuwei's face sank, ignored him, and hugged Zhou Fangxiao's fist, "Obey!" and then turned to leave.
"This old guy, still not convinced!" Zhu Haiping said stupidly.
He didn't want to think about it, how could the sect let go of such a big interest in the mutual market between the two clans? ”
"Yes, that Wang Tong finally ran quickly, a little carried away, don't you know that the hairless mouth is not firm, even if the situation in Liangzhou is tense, the sect will not hand over such an important place to a young person like him, what if something goes wrong, you still have to be in charge of the courtyard so steady to rest assured." ”
Facing Zhu Haiping's sycophancy, Zhou Fangxiao nodded reservedly, although it was very useful, he still made a humble appearance.
"Where is it, the sect has put this heavy burden on me, such a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid I need Brother Zhu to fully assist!"
"Wherever and where, the subordinates must only be in charge of the courtyard. ”
Zhou Fangxiao was very satisfied with Zhu Haiping's knowledge, he had just arrived, and he needed a capable assistant, Zhu Haiping was one of the four deacons of the Yunchi Lower Court, and he was a person of his lineage, many things were done much easier, which is why he dared to deprive the benefits of loose cultivation as soon as he came.
"Wang Tong, hehe, you are powerful, you are arrogant, you are a salted fish turned over, but in the end, you are not making wedding clothes for me, it can be seen that people can't be too arrogant!" Thinking of his bright future, Zhou Fangxiao became more and more proud the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
Maybe it's because they're too proud, or maybe they're thinking about everything too simply, just as the laughter is reaching its climax, a loud noise comes from Yunchifang City, and the two look back, but they see a huge mushroom cloud rising from Yunchifang City, and the flames are soaring into the sky.
"That's the bazaar that the demon clan is building!"
Looking at the direction of Yunchifang City blankly, the two of them were stunned for a while, a little overwhelmed, and suddenly, Zhu Haiping seemed to realize something, screamed, and rushed towards the direction of Yunchifang City.
"The demon clan is building a bazaar?!! damn it!" After Zhou Fangxiao calmed down, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and raised a sword light and rushed straight to Yunchifang City.

Ten Thousand Snake Ridge, Hantan Cave House
In the gloomy cave, a two-headed red-scaled python held its two heads high and let out bursts of laughter.
"You're smiling so happily, this time, I've suffered a lot of losses, how are you going to compensate?!"
"Compensation, a few wild demon clans, all of them are potential-draining characters, where is there much value, why care. ”
"Don't care?!" A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Snake Ji Qingmeng, "A few wild demon clans, you have such a big breath, Qingjian Mountain is in the sphere of influence of your human race, and it is already the limit for me to collect so many wild demon clans, now that you cooperate with me, I have lost so many subordinates before I have gained any benefits, how can you let me rest assured?!"
"I'm just a companion spirit creature who spreads the word, just responsible for passing the word, anyway, you have already paid so much, and you can't get it back, if you don't believe him once, if the future proves that he is not credible, you can kill him, take a breath, anyway, I have no opinion. ”
"You're just a companion spirit?!" Snake Ji Qingmeng's eyes flashed slightly, "I really can't see where you look like a companion spirit, but it's similar to those wild demon clans." ”
"If only the demon clan were a demon. The red-scaled python laughed, "Lord Snake Ji, I think soon, the head of the lower courtyard of Yunchi will come to you, what to do when the time comes, you can do it yourself." ”
"I know, tell Wang Tong that kid, don't play tricks on me, otherwise even if he becomes the true disciple of Xiaohanshan, I will dig out his heart, liver, and six organs to drink. ”
"I will convey your words as they are!" the red-scaled python finished speaking, turning into a line of fire and disappearing into the cave.
"I can't imagine that this Wang Tong is so cunning, and his methods are so vicious, cooperating with him, I don't know if it is seeking skin with the tiger!" After the red-scaled python disappeared, the snake Ji Qingmeng sat on the stone seat, frowning, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to someone.
"What you do is a matter of working with the tiger, and working with such a character, at least in the early stage, you will save a lot of trouble. "Muye emerged from the darkness, "Although Wang Tong is young, he is not lacking in scheming and strength, and the potential and ambition shown are great, if you want to achieve your goal, you have to cooperate with such a character to be successful, as for what Zhou Fangxiao, it is too ugly to eat, at a glance, you can know that it is an agent sent by a certain force in Xiaohan Mountain, such a person has a deep foundation in Xiaohan Mountain, has a wide range of contacts, and has his own interests, it is impossible for you Wang Tong to cooperate without reservation. ”
"In other words, you want to get rid of him?!"
"That's why Wang Tong created such an opportunity for you to make trouble, twelve demon clans were killed in Yunchifang City, and the lower courtyard of Yunchi needs to give you an explanation. ”
"In this way, you can drive Zhou Fangxiao away and let Wang Tong come back? You human gods will be so complicated, such a small trick should be easy to see through, right?!"
"That's why Wang Tong came to you to conspire, he can't do such a thing alone, but what his plan is, only he knows, just like the spirit creature said just now, you have to believe him, otherwise it's better not to cooperate." ”
"What about your opinion?!"
"I'll take a gamble. Makino said lightly.
