Prime Minister Yu invited Ding Peng to a banquet this time, and the ceremony was very grand, not only in the magnificent main hall, but also invited many powerful figures in the city to accompany him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the banquet, Yu Shi tried his best to win over with enthusiasm, Ding Peng was light-hearted, and he looked like a master in the world, but he did not have the heart to make friends with Yu Shi, and through Chen Dingfang's mouth, he ambiguously promised to let his disciples stay in the mud city temporarily, if the prime minister needed help, even if he told them, if they couldn't do it, they could also notify themselves and give a helping hand depending on the situation.

This promise is not too satisfied at the time, but there is no better way, Ding Xuan is obviously not an ordinary alien, people's ambition is to cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, and they are not interested in the glory and wealth of the mortal world at all, so in addition to enthusiasm and sincerity, he can't think of any other way to win over others.

After the banquet, Yu invited Ding Peng's master and apprentice to a quiet side hall to talk, unlike outsiders, who talk about some private things.

Ding Peng asked about the double evil, and sighed: "The ancients often said that there must be demons in the chaos of the country, and An Guilie invited these two demons from Tianshan the year before last, with strong martial arts and good at terrifying demon methods. Xiaochen originally had a friend, because of his opposition to An Guilie persuaded the king to form an alliance with the Otsuki clan, but in the case of heavy security in the house, he was assassinated, and the guards present at the time said that they did not see the assassin at all, only slightly saw a black shadow flashing, and the master was killed, and some people even rumored to be a ghost. Since the death of that friend, all the ministers in the court have been terrified, and no one dares to oppose An Guilie's stubborn proposal. However, the ministers are in a state of panic day and night, and they need to know that the Great Summer Dynasty is a country of all nations, with strong soldiers and horses, and a strong national strength, so how can it be that the mantis arm of our small country of Loulan can be used as a car to fight against it? When the time comes, the first to suffer will be the tens of thousands of people of Loulan, and the Dayue clan is far away in the west of the Western Regions, if the situation is unfavorable, how can they abide by the covenant of the alliance?"

Ding Peng asked, "What about the meaning of your lord?"

In fact, he didn't want to participate in any national struggle for the time being, but the situation between Loulan and Daxia was related to the smooth implementation of the Loulan plan, so Ding Peng had to be clear about the thoughts and movements of the upper echelons of Loulan Kingdom.

Yu Shi shook his head and said: "The king was wise and martial when he was young, and he was far-sighted, and he would never be deceived in such a major matter, he once said to the minister, Loulan is a small country, and the only way to survive is to never have disputes, whether it is Daxia or Dayue clan, and the Mongols, they should not be offended, and the law of protecting the country can only win a place by strictly abiding by neutrality." It's a pity that the king is getting older, and his thoughts are no longer as clear as before, especially in the past two years, the officials and envoys sent by Daxia often act as powerful and prosperous when they pass through Loulan, and they have repeatedly caused the people to resist, and even killed the envoys the year before last. Although the Great King sent the prince to apologize to the Great Xia tributary in time and resolve the dispute, the seeds of the feud between the two sides had been planted. Coupled with An Guilie and the others' continuous slander to the king, the king actually has the intention of forming an alliance with the Great Yue Clan in his heart, and now thirteen countries in the Western Regions have joined the Yue Clan Alliance, if Loulan falls to them again, I am afraid that a natural disaster will be unavoidable. ”

Ding Peng frowned, he never cared about political matters, and after coming to the Qianhu Basin, he also devoted himself to running the Xingzhu Sect, but he didn't expect that the land close at hand had reached the point where he was about to meet each other, and the war between countries was not a trivial matter in this era, especially in a big country like Great Xia, it was easy not to fight, but the war was a huge formation, and it often lasted for a long time, and it would never stop until the goal was achieved.

If there is a war, it will definitely affect the smooth progress of the Loulan plan, although Ding Peng is not a peaceful person, and he does not want the war to form at this time, but if he wants to resolve it, Ding Peng is not arrogant enough that he has that kind of energy, and he has no good strategy for a while, so he can only decide to take one step at a time, and the Loulan plan will continue to be implemented, and he will see the opportunity to act when there is really a war.

Of course, if possible, in the process of implementing the plan, he will also find a way to defuse the war or delay the war, after all, a prosperous and stable Loulan country is the most in line with Ding Peng's current interests.

Ding Peng had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his face still looked like he was indisputable, and said slowly: "Recklessly using swords and soldiers, causing innocent people to bleed into rivers, is a way to hurt the heavens and peace, General An Guilie wants to go off the rails with his sword, I'm afraid that in the end, he will accidentally hurt himself." Don't worry, the prime minister, if An Guilie wants to be unfavorable to the prime minister, this seat will never sit idly by, although the two demons under his command have evil methods, but the star Dafa can restrain all kinds of evil laws, and the demons are not worried. ”

When he got Ding Peng's promise, his heart was full of joy, and he was overjoyed: "With the words of Shangxian, Xiaochen's heart will be very stable, as long as Shangxian can ensure the safety of Xiaochen, Xiaochen will desperately dissuade the king from throwing himself into the Yueshi Alliance, and protect the foundation of Loulan with neutrality." It's just that I just want to wronged the immortal master and live in the minister's mansion for a while...... But don't worry, the immortals are assured, the food and wine, such as the flowers and the beauty, the immortals are needed, and the ministers will definitely do it......"

Ding Peng shook his head and said: "This seat will return to the deep mountains to cultivate today, I'm afraid I won't be able to appreciate the prime minister's good intentions." ”

Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, with an expression of anxiety and disappointment on his face, and said urgently: "What does the immortal master mean, but he is still blaming Yu Shi?"

Ding Peng said with a smile: "The prime minister misunderstood, even if this seat leaves, he will leave a powerful disciple to keep the prime minister safe." ”

Yu Shi's heart was a little calm, but he was still a little worried: "The two demons under An Guilie are said to have been rampant in the Central Plains, and in the end, they really provoked the anger of the heavens and people, so they fled to the Western Regions more than ten years ago. They were originally active in the Tianshan Mountains, and the surrounding herdsmen and tribes suffered a lot, and everyone was eager to eat their flesh and eat their blood, but they could not help them. Later, these two demons offended a magical person at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains for some reason, and were thrown off the Tianshan Mountain, just by An Guilie's door, they defeated An Guilie's countless masters as soon as they made a move, and even the warriors in the palace of King Touman had many people defeated them, although the minister did not understand martial arts, but also knew that these two demons were really extraordinary, if the immortal master himself was in charge, he was naturally not afraid of them, but the immortal master's ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Shi saw Li Kun behind Ding Peng glaring at him, and he didn't dare to say any more, but his intention was self-evident, that is, he didn't believe in the ability of the Xingzhu disciples, and wanted Ding Peng to stay and protect himself personally.

Ding Peng thought in his heart, Yu Shi is his key chess piece, and it is inevitable to protect his safety, but first, there are important things waiting for him to go back to deal with in the Qianhu Basin; second, according to his observation, Yu Shi and An Guilie should not have officially torn their faces, at least not to the level of life and death, otherwise Yu Shi may have died a long time ago, although the true skills of those two evils are not clear, but the hand revealed today proves that they are by no means idle, and it is not too difficult to assassinate Yu Shi.

Since the situation is not urgent, Ding Peng wants to dry him, if the Loulan plan wants to go smoothly, it will play a huge role in Yu Shi, and the more dependent Yu Shi is on himself, the more attentive he will naturally be to let him contribute in the future.

In order to ensure the safety of the prime minister, this seat will arrange several disciples to protect the prime minister, if the situation is urgent, the prime minister can send one of them to report back quickly, and this seat will arrive in a few days." But the prime minister should remember one thing, when this seat is not there, do not fight with the other party, head-on conflict, forbearance in case of trouble, everything can be solved when this seat comes. ”

After listening to Ding Peng's words, his heart finally settled down, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for the grace of the immortal master's protection, if the immortal master needs it, although he explained to the minister, although Loulan is small, the minister will try his best to do it for the immortal master." ”

Ding Peng was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "I am asking for something, since the prime minister is so gracious, this seat is not welcome." ”

What Ding Peng wants is two jade mines, through the looting of the Yellow Whirlwind's property and testing, it has been proved that jade and the like can also be used as resources to exchange contribution points to the system, and there are many jade veins in Loulan country, and most of the famous Hetian jade veins are also in Loulan country.

The Loulan plan, to put it bluntly, is a big plan to collect resources and plunder resources, this big plan from the beginning to the final completion, may be divided into seven or eight stages, Li Kun to collect intelligence, Chen Dingfang to catch the line of time, this is the completion of the first stage, and now we have to start the implementation of the second stage, that is, to occupy one or two resources, establish the initial foundation and begin to gradually erodin.

Ding Peng's Loulan plan is to implement the principle of steady and steady progress, and the best way to seek stability is naturally to obtain the support of the local political regime and steadily implement his own plan under the protection of the regime. What Ding Peng wants now is neither power nor territory, but resources.

As the saying goes, we are here just to seek wealth, and those who help us make money are friends, and those who stand in our way are enemies.

At present, Yu Shi is the biggest friend. In order to maintain this friend, Ding Peng had to keep him safe and, if possible, help him do something, and even help him implement some political programs. To put it simply, they are allies of interests, and the Nakshatras do things for the time, and they have to help the Nakshatra accomplish their set plans, and each takes what he needs, and everyone is happy.

Of course, this friend is not eternal, if one day the situation changes, the times change, and then he may become an enemy who obstructs Ding Peng's implementation of the plan, then, he will not hesitate to get rid of it at that time, and it is likely that An Guilie, who is now tentatively designated as an enemy, will become a friend instead.

Ding Peng put forward his own request, of course, the reason can not be said to be the need of the system, he proposed to Yu Shi for the purpose of cultivation that he needed one or two jade mines, Yu Shi was very good friends, and did not doubt Ding Peng's reason, after all, jade has been considered to have a carrier of mysterious power since ancient times, and it is very reasonable for people of the Immortal Dao to need jade to wear jade, so he did not hesitate much, and proudly promised to find two jade bonanzas for the Xingzhu faction, although it cannot be compared with the royal mines, but it is definitely stronger than the ordinary folk jade mines.

In order to win over Ding Peng and the Xingzhu faction, Yu Shi was a good man to the end, showing full sincerity, and proposed that since Chen Dingfang was a businessman, he could provide him with a special trade certificate issued by the royal family, and he could participate in the business of bilateral trade at a deep level, and earn more than the outside world.

Ding Peng is now a fan of money, as long as there is money to be made, he raises his hands and feet to welcome, of course, the identity of the immortal family naturally cannot show a secular state, Ding Peng pretended to be reserved, his expression was indifferent and calm, but his feet were lightly on Chen Dingfang's legs.

Chen Dingfang suddenly understood, smiled lightly and thanked the prime minister for his kindness, and then accepted the special trade certificate without hesitation, with this certificate, he could trade freely with the merchants of the Central Plains or the Western Regions at will in the mud city, not only will not be troubled by the local business association, but also save a lot of taxes.
