After the end of this small meeting, Qi Xuansu followed Wuzuo and others to participate in the conference.

It's not that the Zun faction is careless, but the situation in Ise is too special now, and there are often no people for dozens of miles, whether it is the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion or the Daomen, no spies have been sent here, Qi Xuansu shirked in every possible way at first, and finally reluctantly agreed, which in my opinion, undoubtedly greatly increased the credibility - if it was really a spy, then he would have climbed up the pole a long time ago.

If it was changed to Heikyo, the Zun faction would not be so casual.

Because the "crane boats" of the Daomen constantly attacked the city, the venue of the meeting was not in the city, but in the wild, and those wandering ghosts and zombies became an excellent cover.

In the middle of the night, only a little moonlight shines through the dark clouds, reflecting the mountains and fields hazy and illusory, and the night wind blows, making a light rustling sound.

In the depths of the dense forest, there is an abandoned ancient temple, which is the location of this conference.

Along the way, there are many other people joining in the area, and because the mountain road is difficult to walk, they all come on foot, and the terrain here is very complex, not only the river network is dense, but also the trees are dense, and there is no light in the sky, even if there are celestial people or "crane boats" passing over, it is difficult to see the specific situation below.

It can be seen that this conference location is still intentional.

This temple has been abandoned for many years, and it can be seen that in the past, incense was also flourishing, and the area was large enough to accommodate many people.

Qi Xuansu roughly estimated that there were thousands of people at this conference, which is really not a few. With so many people, it was difficult to carefully check them one by one, and it really let Qi Xuansu get involved.

But then again, one should not overestimate how tightly organized the Venerable Sect is, they are more like a loose alliance, and it is impossible to scrutinize the identity of the Emperor as carefully as the Daomen.

With so many people, it is impossible to sit down all of them, only some of the leading figures can have seats, and the others can only stand behind them, the leader of Qi Xuansu's small group is the young priest, and he has a good face, so their group is in the main hall, and some of them are not so high, so they lined up all the way to the courtyard outside the hall.

After some noisy arrangements, the leaders took their seats and waited for the organizers of the congress to appear.

Qi Xuansu was mixed in the crowd, and he only felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be a gathering of bandits.

After waiting for a while, a figure dressed in a carcass came out and stood still in front of the Buddha statue offering table.

The so-called "carcass" is a unique armor of Fenglin Island, which is different from the armor of the Central Plains, and was originally the armor of the lower-level samurai, and later became popular among the high-level samurai, and the most significant difference from the lower-level samurai is that the high-level samurai will wear a spade-shaped front star pocket, and this person is like this.

[In view of the general environment,

After the person stood still, he looked around, then raised his hand and pressed down to signal silence.

The inside and outside of the hall immediately fell silent, and although there was no "elder brother", they were all called Masa-sama.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be surprised, this person turned out to be Maeda Masao.

After Qingwei Zhenren arrived in Xiujing, a total of thirteen wanted warrants were issued for the Taoist aspirants, regardless of life and death, the sword hero Katsura Yoshiyuki was among them, and Maeda Masao, as one of the leaders of the Zun faction, also made it to this list. He may not be as good as Gui Shanxing's realm cultivation, but his personality charm, qualifications and prestige are surpassed, and he is a leader recognized by many Taoists, thinking that only he can reluctantly integrate many Taoists like rangers.

This is really a big fish, but it's a pity that Qi Xuansu is weak and can't catch this big fish.

Maeda Masao didn't introduce himself, and said directly: "The king said, there is only the word loyalty, the king must be loyal, and the outside is important. Over the years, countless people with lofty ideals have gone forward to resist the prime minister's mansion and get rid of female cadres, so that today's situation exists. Now the Daomen soldiers are pressing, killing Zhongliang, destroying lives, and doing everything, all the monarchs here today either have a hatred of breaking their families, or have a blood feud with them, and the pain of the skin is not repeated. However, on the frontal battlefield, although the monarchs sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, they bravely killed the enemy, but the firearms of the Daomen were sharp, and there were the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the eagle dogs from the side to help, after all, they were defeated and retreated. So far, I

Only by seeking change and seeking help can we have a chance to win."

As soon as the voice fell, someone asked, "How do you change? How do you ask for help? Please show me Masa-sama."

Maeda Masao said: "If you ask for help, you can only ask for it now, and I invite Metropolitan White to do so."

Qi Xuansu's heart sank.

It turned out to be someone from the Western Holy See. They really couldn't hold it back, and took advantage of this opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the East.

Thinking about it carefully, this is also reasonable, now the Daomen is dominant in the east, and the Holy Court dominates the west, although it is still well water and river water, but the dispute between the east and the west is also a matter of time, and when the end of the law comes, it is estimated that there will be a winner and loser, and the winner is naturally the master of the world and the master of the world.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, this is great information, even if he fails to persuade Suzuka to surrender, this trip is worthwhile.

I saw a blond man walk out, dressed in a black priest's uniform, wearing a soft hat, wearing a holy emblem on his chest, his facial features were as delicate as a sculpture, and the whole person was solemn and majestic.

"Westerners?"

"A man of the Holy Court?"

Everyone immediately talked about it.

Many even looked disapproving.

The same is true of Qi Xuansu's small group, who advocated the assassination of the top officials of the Daomen, and as a result, a Westerner came.

Anyway, the people in the Daomen look the same as the people in Fenglinzhou, they are all black-eyed and black-haired, what's the matter with this blonde and blue-eyed ghost? It is said that brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted outside. I'm afraid no one thinks that these yellow-haired Westerners are their own brothers, but the black-haired Central Plains people are more like the same line. In addition, after the Daomen entered Fenglinzhou, they only attacked the wealthy families, and did not toss the common people, but always committed to winning the hearts of the people.

Besides, if you join forces with the Westerners, then the Toyotomi Prime Minister also has something to say, what is the difference between your Zun faction and our Prime Minister's House? It's nothing more than the Daomen standing behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Holy Court standing behind your Zun Sect, what is this the struggle between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zun Sect? Or is it the struggle between the Daomen and the Holy See?

This would make the Zun faction lose its already weak reputation for righteousness.

To put it more seriously, isn't this giving up Fenglinzhou to Daomen?

Maeda Masao saw it in his eyes and didn't explain too much, just raised his hand again to signal silence.

Metropolitan White stood still, performed a Western etiquette, and then, in fluent Japanese dialect, said: "I am here on behalf of Cardinal Brown to extend my best greetings to you. In order to help you resist foreign enemies, we, the Holy See, have brought 30 new artillery pieces and 2,000 new guns this time to show our sincerity."

White paused slightly, observed everyone's expressions, and then continued, "In the future, we will also provide you with various kinds of assistance worth more than a million eagles, including all kinds of ammunition, firearms, and even boats. In addition, we will also provide an interest-free loan of 3 million Eagle Ocean to the royal family of Fenglinzhou through other channels. Cardinal Brown said that the Holy See will unite the Western nations to provide all necessary support to our friends in the East, and as long as your resistance does not stop, we will continue to provide aid and support until the last man."

The crowd listened to White's words and began to exchange ears again.

The sincerity of Westerners is still there, and fighting a war is nothing more than a few, people and logistics. The Zun Sect does have people now, and in terms of numbers alone, they still have a considerable advantage, but without food, grass and support, the Westerners can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow.

At this moment, a person asked in a loud voice, "Will the Holy Court directly send troops to help?"

The smile on White's face froze slightly, and then returned to normal, and said, "I'm sorry, although our Holy See is more than willing to send troops to help, but we are really powerless to be separated from the vast South China Sea and the Eastern Po and Borneo continents."

Someone else asked, "I heard that the Holy Court is the largest trading partner of the Daomen, can you interrupt the trade with the Daomen?" As long as the Daomen has no money, they will naturally retire obediently."

White's smile froze again, and he said slowly, "I'm afraid this is not something I can decide, it will be decided after careful discussion by the cardinals

。 Moreover, we in the Holy See have always respected the spirit of the contract, and since we have made a contract, we naturally have to follow the contract, and even if we break off cooperation, we must wait until the contract expires."

"That's not going to happen."

"Having said so much, what kind of contract spirit, it's not that I want to make money."

"Two-faced, doing business with the Daomen over there, and what support do you tell us here, it's unreliable."

"Western red-haired people, I can't believe it. In any case, Daomen is an upright opponent and worthy of respect, and Zhongyuan was also our teacher in the past, and these red-haired people are like villains behind their backs, so be careful of being used as a trick by these red-haired people."

There was a lot of discussion at the bottom.

Maeda Masao had to speak: "Gentlemen! We naturally have to rely on ourselves to defend our homes and land, and the Holy See is a friend who comes to help us defend against foreign enemies, so how can we count on all our friends?"

One of them sneered, "Lord Masao, there will be no pie in the sky, these Westerners will come to help us, it won't be without conditions, right?" After the deed is completed, I don't know how much land will be ceded? Or what kind of contract do you want to sign?"

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised, no wonder these venerable factions were able to set off such a big momentum in Fenglin Continent, there are still masters here, Westerners have always been robbers, and they have never been good.

As soon as this remark came out, it was naturally indignant. Daomen has the righteousness of revenge, the division is famous, and there is the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion as a cover, and he does not end up in person, and does not interfere in the political affairs of Fenglinzhou, only asks about business affairs, and is still going to be heard. Replacing the Daomen with Westerners, even if the Dao is successful, it will be stinking for 10,000 years.

Maeda Masao looked at the person who spoke and raised his voice, "Mr. Yoshida, do you have any other good ideas?"

Qi Xuansu was shocked again.

This Mr. Yoshida, could it be Yoshinori Yoshida, who is also on the list of thirteen people? The other leader of the Venerable faction who single-handedly planned the assassination of the regent Guan Bai?

In addition to the Fenglin Prefecture Imperial Court, Tianmen, Fenglinzhou Buddhist Gate, and the local feudal lord daimyo, there were a total of thirteen leaders of the Taoist warriors with the lower-level samurai as the main body, and two of them appeared at once today.

It's a pity that Qi Xuansu doesn't have a pseudo-immortal cultivation, so he can't capture these two people in one fell swoop.
