Chapter VI Arrangements Before Departure

readx;? The person in charge of the Baoji Branch of the Tongxin Alliance is Liu Xiuyou, a scholar of Qianyu. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ‰  = β‰ˆβ‰ˆ = β‰ β‰ 

This person's personality is calm and cautious, and he likes to plan and then act, which can be summed up in one sentence as more than enough and not enough to be enterprising.

It can be seen from his personality and work that this person is not a suitable person for the head of the alliance, at least not a pioneering talent.

However, when the General Alliance selected the person in charge, many people who were qualified to be elected were hesitant and did not have the confidence that they could open up the situation in a region that did not belong to the traditional territory of the Tongxin League.

Liu Xiuyou has a brother named Liu Xiuruo, who is the hall master of the Xuanwu Hall of the Tongxin Alliance, this Xuanwu Hall is equivalent to the foreign military group of the Tongxin Alliance, responsible for most of the military actions of the Tongxin Alliance, and has great powers.

Liu Xiuruo said to his brother Liu Xiuyou, don't look at this Baoji sub-alliance is inconspicuous, in fact, it is a few important pilots for the Tongxin Alliance to set foot in the northern region, if it is done well, this is an important qualification, even if it is only mediocre and often maintained for a year or two, and when a large number of members of the Tongxin Alliance enter the north, then the current person in charge of the Baoji Branch Alliance, at least the head of the Shaanxi region.

Liu Xiuyou was moved, and after careful consideration, he weighed the gains and losses, and finally took the initiative to petition to take up the position of this vanguard officer when others were still hesitant.

The Council of Elders agreed to his request, and Liu Xiuyou selected thirty elite soldiers in Xuanwu Hall to follow him to Baoji City.

Half a year has passed, and Liu Xiuyou regrets it.

He overestimated his own ability, underestimated the complexity of the situation he had to face, and most importantly, he underestimated the strength of the Four Seas Gang here.

Xiang Jinkuan, the helmsman of the Four Seas Gang Baoji, is a very strong and very strong person, he is not afraid of the huge power behind the Tongxin Alliance, and from the very beginning he made up his mind not to let Liu Xiuyou gain a firm foothold, from the front and from the side, or indirectly or directly, to destroy the various layouts of the Tongxin Alliance in Baoji, so that Liu Xiuyou bothered to do his best, and the carefully conceived plans could not be carried out smoothly.

Even Xiang Jin Kuan was still in public, taking advantage of Liu Xiuyou's disadvantage of having no connections and prestige in Baoji Martial Arts, and humiliated him several times, Liu Xiuyou was not bold enough to dare to tear his face with Xiang Jin Kuan, which led to a great drop in the prestige of the Tongxin Alliance.

By now, the prestige of the Tongxin Alliance has dropped to the freezing point around Baoji, and some local martial arts forces dare not have too much contact with Liu Xiuyou.

The external environment is bad, and the internal people have begun to be unstable, and some of the elite soldiers and strong generals carefully selected by Liu Xiuyou have begun to complain and complain about him, and Liu Xiuyou, who has not achieved any results, can not even suppress his subordinates.

Liu Xiuyou was depressed and unbearable, often thinking about countermeasures, and couldn't sleep at night. Tonight, he meditated under the lamp again, and it looked like it was going to be another sleepless night.

Suddenly, there was a soft click outside the window, Liu Xiuyou was very alert, and immediately got up and shouted: "Who is outside!"

The door creaked open, Liu Xiuyou's slender eyes narrowed into a slit, slightly revealing essence, like a cat about to jump out of the pounce, he clearly remembered that he had just entered the door with the door plug, and now there is no slightest movement, the door plug has been broken, from this point it can be seen that the martial arts of the person who came is very powerful.

Liu Xiuyou's right hand was at the bottom of the table, and a stick-shaped weapon with a sharp blade at the top had been held in his hand, this is Liu Xiuyou's weapon Wing Stick, it is a rare Qimen weapon, the power is not small, it has been with him for more than 20 years, and it is rare to meet opponents in the rivers and lakes.

With the winged stick in his hand, Liu Xiuyou was relieved and shouted: "Who is pretending to be a ghost outside, and he won't let grandpa come out!"

"Whose grandfather are you going to be?"

A cold voice sounded, and a man in white slowly walked in.

Liu Xiuyou's face changed from surprise to joy, and he said loudly: "Why are you here?"

Liu Xiuyou and his brother Liu Xiuruo are both Ye Guzhan's old subordinates, although their relationship with Cao Xingzhi is average, but because of this relationship, they are naturally their own people, especially in Baoji City, which is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the two members of the Tongxin Alliance, who usually do not deal with each other, feel cordial to each other when they meet.

With a wave of his hand, a pale yellow flag was thrown over, Liu Xiuyou instinctively caught it, and when he unfolded it, there were four big characters embroidered in the middle of the yellow flag, and he was taken aback.

"Isn't this the helmsman flag of the Four Seas Gang?

Conduct said lightly: "Today, those guys are not very pleasing to the eye, and I picked them when I passed by their territory." This flag will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and the Four Seas Gang will definitely send someone to pick it up, and you will take the opportunity to make it difficult for them to say a few words and vent the evil anger in your heart. ”

Liu Xiuyou was a little excited in his heart, although the conduct was easy, but Liu Xiuyou knew that the Four Seas Banner of the Four Seas Gang was a very important thing for a rudder, and since Xingzhi could take it off, he would naturally have subdued the rudder everyone, which was a big bad breath for him.

But Liu Xiuyou's face immediately appeared worried, and he sighed: "Okay, your kind brother has received it, but I'm afraid this hand is not appropriate." The Four Seas Gang will not give up after being humiliated by this, and I am afraid that they will seek revenge in the future. ”

The thick eyebrows of the conduct were raised, and he said coldly: "Blindly retreating is never the best policy, if the Four Seas Gang wants to fight, we will fight, can it be that compromise and concession can make them agree that you show your strength under their noses?"

In fact, if the Tongxin Alliance wants to expand its power in the north, sooner or later it will touch the backlash of the Four Seas Gang, which is the bottom line, and it is a conflict of core interests, and the two major forces will have a battle. At this point, Ding Peng, a later generation, can see more clearly than Liu Xiuyou and others, and the vicissitudes and conspiracies in thousands of years of Chinese history can be turned over with a casual search on the Internet in later generations, and this kind of edification is not comparable to relatively simple ancient people.

Liu Xiuyou shook his head and sighed: "Maybe I shouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for my life to come here that day, this heavy responsibility is not something that a person like me can bear." Okay, I don't have your courage and determination, since you gave this flag to my brother, then I will take it upon myself to send it back to the Four Seas Gang tomorrow to resolve the conflict, do you have no opinion?"

It doesn't matter what you do, and said lightly: "It's up to you to stay or send it back!" But you have to think clearly, your overtures may not be able to get the other party's understanding, this has nothing to do with the battle of will, but a confrontation of mutual interests, even if there is no such thing, the Four Seas Gang will find a way to drive you out of Baoji City, the territory is so big, you should understand the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. ”

Liu Xiuyou smiled bitterly: "I naturally understand, give me some more time, if there is no progress, it means that my ability is insufficient, I may take the initiative to resign from the alliance leader, or go back to my hometown Jiangnan to be more comfortable." ”

Xingzhi looked at him deeply, didn't say any more reminders, and turned to leave.

As for whether Liu Xiuyou can handle the Baoji territory, it doesn't matter to him; as for the revenge of the Four Seas Gang, if Liu Xiuyou can't even cope with this, it is better to return to the Tongxin Alliance as soon as possible.

In the opinion of Ding Peng, the Four Seas Gang and the Tongxin Alliance should not completely tear their faces for the time being, because that will cause a big war that will sweep the entire rivers and lakes.

Just like between the major powers in later generations, there will be occasional tearing and local conflicts, but it is difficult to form an event that can involve two countries in a full-scale war, because this kind of major incident is avoided by both sides as much as possible, or it will be extinguished by the joint efforts of both sides before it is formed, and neither side can afford the tragic consequences caused by a full-scale war.

......

Zhao Si returned to the Thousand Lakes Basin Star Altar.

He was urgently recalled by Ding Peng, with the presence of the Divine Eagle Xiongkulu, the communication between the two places has achieved the fastest degree in this era, Xiongkulu can make a round trip between the mud city and the Thousand Lakes Basin in one day, and this is far from being reached by other means including manpower.

Ding Peng recalled Zhao Si for the final arrangement before leaving.

These days, he has taught Li Kun the poison of the corpse, helped Xiu Gu perfect the third realm of the Phantom Yin Finger, and passed on the cultivation method of the first stage to the tall and strong young demon hand, plus some arrangements for recalling Zhao Si this time, it is obvious that he is strengthening the power that is absolutely loyal to him.

Li Kun had already said earlier that with the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill in his body, his life and death were completely bound to Ding Peng, and it was impossible to betray him.

Xiu Gu has demonstrated her loyalty through her conscientious performance for more than two years, and this time Ding Peng will take her husband Shi Jian with her when she goes to the Central Plains, and she is not worried about any changes to her.

Gao Zhuangzhuang was originally a stonemason, an ordinary native of the Western Regions, it was Ding Peng who taught him martial arts and changed his fate, Gao Zhuangzhuang also performed very well in the last Loulan coup, Ding Peng was very relieved of him.

The last is Zhao Si, Zhao Si's loyalty does not need to be questioned, but Ding Peng is not ready to leave him in the sect, this time to recruit him back, there are some special arrangements, and to lay the foundation for him to follow up martial arts, after the matter is over, he will return to Loulan again, his heavy responsibility is in the mud city, is the key chess piece to stabilize the situation in Loulan.

When the time comes, after Ding Peng leaves, Li Kun, Xiugu, Gao Zhuangzhuang, Gou Dafang, Ding Yi and others will guard the sect, and Zhao Si, Hu Yanping, and Wang Haoer will control Loulan.

After Zhao Si came back, Ding Peng gave him the second Qi Gathering Pill, which is the only star disciple who enjoys this honor except for Li Kun, a Qi Gathering Pill can increase the strength of three years of penance out of thin air, which is a great improvement for Zhao Si's current cultivation, of course, the Qi Gathering Pill is not only good, there is no harm, this kind of domineering pill has a side effect is that the body potential is overdrawn in advance, which will make it difficult for the user to reach the peak of martial arts in the future.

But this naturally doesn't matter to Ding Peng, in the future, the sect will be stronger, there will be more resources, as long as there are resources, he can cultivate any kind of master, and use some long-term interests to gain immediate strength, this deal he thinks is cost-effective.

Anyway, it wasn't his own sacrifice.

In Zhao Si's view, his own skills have improved by leaps and bounds in just a few days, and he is naturally grateful, in fact, he doesn't know that these methods have left troubles for himself, and they are not all beneficial to his long-term growth.

Zhao Si's skills have greatly improved, especially the internal force, which has far surpassed the other disciples of the same sect, Ding Peng exchanged five ice silkworms for him, and instructed him to refine and absorb one every half month, and the five ice silkworms were all absorbed, and he should also return from the Central Plains when the time comes, when Zhao Si has accumulated enough cold poison in his body, he can cultivate the fourth stage of martial arts prepared by Ding Peng for him - Ice Silkworm Poison Palm.

The Ice Silkworm Poison Palm is the peerless study of the iron-headed man You Tanzhi, You Tanzhi cultivated the Yijin Sutra by chance, and absorbed the poison of the ice silkworm for thousands of years, and his poisonous internal skills made him become a master of the rivers and lakes in a short period of time, and even could tie with the old immortal Ding Chunqiu of the stars.

Ding Peng's Ice Silkworm Poison Palm that Ding Peng is going to pass on to Zhao Si will have reservations, the Yi Jin Jing naturally does not have it, and the Millennium Ice Silkworm will not have it, you must know that the Millennium Ice Silkworm is much more expensive than the Centipede Wood in the system, Ding Peng himself is not very willing to exchange it, how can he provide it to his disciples first?

Therefore, Ding Peng exchanged for Zhao Si for an ordinary ice silkworm, although the price is still expensive, but it can still afford it, five ice silkworms will allow Zhao Si to accumulate a certain cold poison foundation, and when the time comes, he will exchange the ice silkworm poison palm cheats, according to the cultivation, although it is not as good as the upstream after the success, but there is no problem with the average master.

arranged everything for Zhao Si, Ding Peng repeatedly instructed him on the principles of action in Loulan, so that he only had to act according to these principles in case of trouble, and if he was really uncertain, he could also consult with Hu Yanping and others, but he must have his own opinions.

Repeatedly explained, repeatedly entrusted, Ding Peng also took a lot of painstaking efforts, it is really Zhao Si Although he has a good talent in martial arts, he is honest and honest, and he is not a flexible and fickle person, so if he is not arranged in advance, I am afraid that things may be at a loss when things are together.
