Chapter 12 – The Nine Transformations of the Ancestor (Sacred Tree)
After this dinner conversation, which was not too harmonious but finally reasonable, Chen Xinyu and Qinglang finally reached a consensus that was acceptable to both parties. Qing Lang gave Chen Xinyu a written guarantee, promising that at this moment, the Departure Chamber of Commerce would never make any actions and behaviors that betrayed the departure and Empress Shengde, and they would be absolutely loyal to the orthodoxy of leaving the country. Moreover, in order to show his sincerity, Qing Lang also immediately ordered his henchmen to send an order, ordering the members of the Chamber of Commerce in all aspects who were still doing business and underground transactions within the royal Chen family at this moment to return to the country. In return, Chen Xinyu also promised that he would restore the economic and political help he had provided to them when he left the country.
In some ways, these things are also important, but they are very worthless compared to the fact that the Chamber of Commerce is loyal to her. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is now an important force to support her, and besides, for the rich and powerful Chamber of Commerce, the financial help is actually basically insignificant, but for the Chamber of Commerce formed by these merchants, the only thing they want to do now is to prove themselves in order to obtain the right to officially act and act. Among them, Qing Lang also asked Chen Xinyu to help them issue an edict, announcing to the entire world, including the royal Chen family, telling them that Chen Xinyu would officially improve the status of merchants and would no longer list them as the lower ninth. The deep meaning of this is naturally very clear to Chen Xinyu, so that their merchants have a legitimate excuse to be able to enter and exit many places that merchants were not allowed to come and go in the first place.
Of course, Chen Xinyu agrees with this and has her own deeper thoughts, and for her, how to get rid of the political impact of the fiasco in the last civil war has become one of her most concerns. In this way, she can prove her identity and status, and in some respects further protect her rights and status, and such an edict is enough to prove her current attitude. In some ways, it is enough to deter the royal Chen family, because after all, although everyone in the royal Chen family knows that the royal Chen family is no different from rebellion, they cover it up very well, and Chen Xuan, the head of the royal Chen family, only proclaimed himself the position of the king of Che, and did not directly ascend the throne as emperor. This is a decision that has arranged a way out, and not ascending the throne and becoming emperor is equivalent to leaving a way back and room for reversal. Then, all this that Chen Xinyu has done has some effect, it can deter the royal Chen family and force them to make such decisions and actions against domestic businessmen, otherwise once the Chamber of Commerce can grasp the lifeblood of the businessmen within the royal Chen family, I am afraid that the war between these two aspects is not only military and war. It will rise to a political level, so such a move is particularly important.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinyu naturally happily agreed to the meaning proposed by Qing Lang, and she naturally nodded in agreement. Maybe these things in front of you, this kind of solution is good.
So, after Chen Xinyu unveiled this knot, he left the Chamber of Commerce overnight, and when he left the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Xinyu wrote a letter in his own handwriting, asking the head of the Chamber of Commerce to transfer it to Su Yao, the governor of Yangcheng, for herself, and she herself left Yangcheng in the fastest time, taking advantage of the opportunity that the sun was about to set and the city gate was not completely closed, and now Chen Xinyu still has one of the most important things to do in her heart, she wants to go around the Weiku Plain to persuade those neutral counties that were originally on the sidelines and are now turning to the royal Chen family, and persuade them to support themselves。 Comparatively speaking, Chen Xinyu will be more uncertain about this matter, but she has made a part of the deployment in advance, and maybe this part of the deployment can help her get out of the predicament in front of her.
The passage of Yangcheng down the mountain is only a narrow and winding path. At this time, on this winding mountain pass, Chen Xinyu, who was alone and wearing a military uniform, was advancing towards the sunset, suddenly stopped his swift and wind-like running footsteps, and stared back at the Yangcheng behind him that was gradually moving away from him with a very serious and profound gaze. She sighed deeply, and said in a slow but extremely firm voice: "Sooner or later, one day, I will get back all the things I have lost!
"Whew, my head hurts, where is this, brother, are you there?" the soft and warm sunlight poured down through a white cloud that stretched across the sky, shining on a mountain range below that seemed to connect to the sky. At the top of one of the peaks of this mountain range is an endless green forest, where all the trees that grow more than 100 years old, the roots are extremely stable, extending their branches in all directions, and the branches of the trees are criss-crossed, and the roots are intricately displayed on the summit of this mountain. At this moment, a very tired sigh suddenly came from the otherwise silent woods.
Through the gentle sunlight overhead, it was clear that there was one of the tallest trees in the woods, even reaching into the sky, and this towering tree extended its branches in all directions. At this moment, two figures were beginning to climb down at the top of this towering tree. Due to the fact that the surrounding branches were really thick, the two figures did not exert much effort when climbing downward. It was because the towering tree was so tall that the two had been climbing for nearly an hour, but they still hadn't seen the ground.
If you look closely, you will find that these two figures with sharp figures and movements like spirit monkeys are not two monkeys, but a pair of young brothers and sisters with similar appearances, and the abilities shown by these two brothers and sisters at this moment, whether in terms of climbing skills or flexible movements, are very easy to misunderstand that the two brothers and sisters are two monkeys with strong skills.
These two siblings were none other than Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters who were trapped in the illusion created by the gem of the Departure Chamber of Commerce, and the two brothers and sisters were still walking briskly in the clouds in this illusion. But after two hours, they finally realized that the sky was endless and even endless. So, at Feng Shanshan's special suggestion, the two brothers and sisters simply jumped down from the sky clouds in a desperate gamble, but they really didn't expect that this distance, which didn't seem to be very far, would take two minutes before they approached the ground after they jumped. Among them, this air flow and storm had already broken through the tolerance range of the two siblings, and the two siblings also fell into a coma the last moment they saw the ground.
This action also caused the two siblings to be in a coma for two days before they woke up, originally thinking that their lives were in danger, but when they woke up, the two siblings were very surprised to find that they were not dead, but miraculously saved their lives by the old tree below. And then they found that this old tree stood on the top of the mountains as if it stood out from the crowd.
After a day of recuperation, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, breathed a sigh of relief, they were really not sure about the situation in front of them, how to find a breakthrough. So, after some discussion between Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, they decided to leave the old tree first.
It's just that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, really underestimated the height and floor area of this old tree, although they have light skills and martial arts, and they also have the help of the Soul Wind Feather Fan. But they still passed nearly half of Shi Chen's journey, and they still didn't see the specific situation at the bottom of this divine tree. Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, they stopped halfway through the road for a long time, the long coma and the high air pressure that jumped down from the clouds and shuttled through the center made them still in a dizzy feeling, they had to stop their steps and start resting somewhere in the tree.
During this time, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, were talking to each other about how to solve the current dilemma. Feng Shanshan said helplessly: "Brother, we really can't see the bottom now, how can this be good?"
Feng Yuchong's physical exertion is even greater, on the one hand, he has to walk in front of his sister, and on the other hand, he has to master the Soul Wind Feather Fan in his hand, so the physical exertion in this aspect will be even greater. As a result, Feng Yuchong had already closed his eyes and began to take the most precious rest at this time. However, after hearing his sister's question, Feng Yuchong slowly opened his eyes and said with a slow smile: "This is not a particularly important matter, although we have experienced two days of coma and this predicament in front of us, but after all, we are soul cultivators, and our physical strength is not unsupportable, and now our top priority is not to leave this old tree that seems to occupy the highest area, but to directly understand what secrets are hidden in this illusion." For example, before this, when we strayed into the illusion of the Full Moon Knife, if we hadn't found the most crucial secret, wouldn't we have been able to leave there?"
Feng Shanshan now fully understood what her brother meant, and she also understood that what her brother said was very reasonable, so Feng Shanshan sighed silently, "I never thought that the lives of our two brothers and sisters would be so bitter."
Feng Yuchong smiled heartily, "Shanshan, we have already decided to take such a risk, and it is not surprising that we often encounter such difficulties. You're right."
