Chapter 21 Return to the negotiating table
Zhao Qian recovered from his injuries in the next six months. Zhao Qian, who had recovered from his injuries, was even more energetic, and now he was not bound by the Xuanshen Underground Palace, and he still had people from the Xuanshen Underground Palace in his hands. As a demon army sent to manage the Xuanshen Continent, in the history of I don't know how many years have passed, no venerable or envoy has ever been captured or killed, and now that Zhao Qian has done it, Zhao Qian feels that he has created a historical record. Moreover, the Seven Venerables are in Zhao Qian's hands, so they can negotiate with the Xuanshen Underground Palace. It's a good feeling to be in control.
And the Seven Venerables felt that they were too unlucky, that "Hundred Threads" was really powerful, there were about hundreds of things as thin as hair through his veins, he was originally practicing the Fire Movement Spell, but he felt that he would have a seizure after two hours, alternating between cold and hot all over his body, life was worse than death, if it wasn't for Zhao Qian to take a medicine regularly, he felt that he really couldn't beg for death. The most important thing is the mental blow, he has achieved Zhao Qian's prestige, and at the same time, the Seven Venerables have also become the dirtiest shame in the history of the Demon Army, he is a shame, and the Magic Array Guardian Alliance will definitely not let go of himself, the family behind him is only the most ordinary of the seven families, and he will never be busy with his little chess piece. On the contrary, due to his own mistakes, he may cause a shame that he will never forget for the rest of his life, even if he is let go by Zhao Qian, there is no good life.
Zhao Qian picked up the transmission card he took from the Seven Venerables and sent a message to the Eastern Envoy: "I am Zhao Qian, this is the transmission card of the Seven Venerables. ”
And the eastern envoy who was far away in the underground palace was very uncomfortable during this time, how could he not contact the Seven Venerables, and the half-year period that had commanded the Seven Venerables had arrived, and he was feeling his eyelids jumping on this day, and suddenly such a sentence came from his own communication card. The envoy was a little confused for a moment, what did he mean? In a flash, I guessed the other party's intentions. His forehead was a little wet, but in order to confirm, the envoy replied, "What do you mean?"
After a long time, the reply made the envoy's palms sweat, and the most terrible thing had happened, and it was at his hands that it had happened. His handsome face was now deformed by anger, the communication card was pinched in his hand, and the back of the envoy's hand spasmed, muttering: "Old Seven, why don't you die?!"
It turned out that the message sent by Zhao Qian was as follows: Respected envoy, under Zhao Qian. The Seven Venerables because of their preference for play, recently went to the Yuxia Vacant Mountain, has been more than half a year old, the Seven Venerables returned without thinking, and sent a special envoy to inform the respected envoy.
Suddenly, the envoy slammed the summons card on the ground and shouted, "Zhao Qian, you deceive people too much, you deceive people too much!" That's right, since he took over, he has always been on top, and he has never been coerced like this. Fortunately, the envoy was in his room, otherwise the envoy's gaffe would have amazed many people. After a while, the Eastern Envoy sighed, he couldn't afford to lose this person, and after the expiration of his term of office in another two years, he would bring one less Venerable back to the other dimension, which was something that had never happened in the history of the Magic Array Guardian Alliance, and he couldn't be the first person. Now that Zhao Qian dared to tell him that the Seven Venerables were in his hands, it seemed that he had something to rely on, and the chances of regaining the Seven Venerables by force were too small. Now I can only negotiate with Zhao Qian.
The envoy picked up the signage from the ground and said, "What do you want?"
After a few moments, Zhao Qian replied, "I don't ask for anything, I won't be held accountable, I will be allowed to open a mountain and establish a faction, and I will let the Seven Venerables leave after the arrival of the new Eastern Envoy in two years." ”
The east envoy said in his heart: "What a wishful thinking." But he sighed again, who let Lao Qi be in Zhao Qian's hands. So he sent another message "one month to consider replying". The envoy said: "It seems that we have to discuss, and I can't make the decision." Then he cried out, "Come." ”
Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Xuanshen Underground Palace, the twenty-two envoys and Venerable were solemn and solemn one by one, because the eastern envoy sitting in the middle of the main hall sat there with an old face and did not say a word, as if someone else owed him a lot of money. And the empty chair at the head of the Five Venerables indicates that something is unusual.
After a long time, the eastern envoy said a few words in a low voice, "Lao Qi was caught by Zhao Qian" like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing a ** ripple, and the twenty-one envoys and Venerable below were like a honeycomb riot, buzzing non-stop. The envoy sat there without saying a word.
After a long while, the discussion finally stopped, and the Five Venerables stood up first and said, "Eastern Envoy, is this news true?"
Then, without waiting for the envoy to answer. Voices come and go.
"The Seven Venerables, with superb martial arts, how could they be caught by Zhao Qian?"
"Lao Qi has a fixed feather needle, he won't lose, I must be a rumor. ”
"The Seven Venerables practiced the Fire Movement Spell and Zheng Ke Zhao Qianmu practiced the Magic, and if I was killed, I would not believe that the Seven Venerables were captured by Zhao Qian. ”
......
The envoy looked at the discussion below, sighed, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, you can go and see if it's true, and then discuss it in three days." After saying that, he left alone without saying hello.
The Venerable and the envoys looked at each other, and finally the southern envoy said, "Old Five, go and have a look." Seeing the way the others looked at him, the Fifth Venerable had no choice but to nod.
Then, the five venerables turned into a streamer, and after a while, the five venerables flew to the sky above Tengkong Mountain, but saw that on the platform of the Yunxiao Cave, Zhao Qian was sitting on a recliner, and there was a coffee table next to the recliner, and there was a pot of old Zhao family wine on the coffee table, some appetizers, and Zhao Qian poured himself a cup. The Five Venerables standing in the air raised their glasses and smiled, "Five Venerables, why don't you come down and have a drink?"
Seeing this situation, the Fifth Venerable had already believed in it in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhao, thank you." I don't know ...... the Seven Venerables"
Zhao Qian sighed and said, "Seven Venerables, Xiao Jiao, Xiao Yu, please come out of the Seven Venerables." ”
Yao Jiao and Yang Yu, who were in the Cloud Sky Cave, said to the Seven Venerables, "Please." The Seven Venerables were helpless, and gently and slowly walked out of the Cloud Cave, came to the platform, and saw the Five Venerables standing in the air, and couldn't help but say, "Fifth brother, save me." But he turned back into the cave in shame.
Seeing this, the Five Venerables couldn't help sighing, the low level of Yao Jiao and Yang Yu next to the Seven Venerables, he could see it at a glance, but the Seven Venerables were very "cooperative", indicating that there must be extremely powerful prohibitions on the Seven Venerables, and it was almost impossible to seize them by force. The Fifth Venerable clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhao, don't leave it here." He flew away without looking back.
Three days later, in the main hall of the Xuanshen Underground Palace, when the Five Venerables finished telling the other twenty-one people what they had seen and thought, everyone was speechless all of a sudden.
Quiet, and deathly still.
After a while, it was the Eastern Envoy who broke the silence, "I decided to agree to some of Zhao Qian's conditions, and agreed not to pursue his responsibility. At the same time, I declare that before we leave the Xuanshen Continent, we will no longer be enemies of Zhao Qian. ”
When the other envoys and Venerable Ones heard this, they could not deny it, but they said no more.
The subsequent negotiations were much easier, Zhao Qian didn't want to start a mountain during the tenure of this group of Xuanshen envoys. However, the other party did not agree to a condition, and Zhao Qian proposed to ask for one percent of all the taxes of the entire Tianlun Empire, and after bargaining, finally the Xuanshen Underground Palace came forward to hand over one and a half of the taxes of Tongming Prefecture and Zhiyuan Prefecture to Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian began to become the national teacher of the Tianlun Empire. As for Junyu Palace, since there are eighth-level powerhouses, one Lingzhou will be left, and one percent of Lingzhou's taxes will be left to Junyu Palace. As a condition, Zhao Qian and his insiders must not leak the process of capturing the Seven Venerables and negotiating, and those who leak the secret will not be forgiven. At the same time, the Seven Venerables were handed over to the Xuanshen Underground Palace in advance, but they did not pull out the "hundred threads". It was not until after the handover of the old and new envoys that Zhao Qian uprooted the "entanglement".
After the two sides negotiated, a document was formed, and since the oath was made at Tengkong Mountain at that time, later generations called this agreement "Tengkong Covenant". It was the formation of this covenant that caused a great change in the sphere of influence of the eighth-level powerhouses of the Xuanshen Continent, and two years later, after the new Eastern Envoy took office, the most famous sect in the history of the Xuanshen Continent, the Vacant Pavilion, would be born.
After the two sides completed the signing, the eastern envoy led the five venerables and the forbidden seven venerables to leave, Zhao Qian laughed nonstop, Yao Jiao and Yang Yu were a little surprised, is it necessary to make Zhao Qian so happy after signing such a document.
Zhao Qian glanced at the two of them, as if he understood what they were thinking, patted Yao Jiao's shoulder and said, "Good job, Xiao Jiao, you and Xiao Yu have made a great contribution this time." Do you think this document is useless?"
Zhao Qian shook the document in his hand, and Yao Jiao said: "That's not it, I just think it's necessary to be so happy?"
Zhao Qian was very happy, nodded vigorously, and said, "Very useful, very happy." If you think about it, it takes a certain foundation to open a sect, and the Xuanshen Underground Palace now gives us the best foundation. From now on, we don't have to worry about our worries. Because of this behavior of both of you, I have decided to teach you as my dearest disciples in the future. ”
After Yao Jiao and Yang Yu listened, they both said happily: "Thank you, master." ”
In the next few days, Zhao Qian taught Yao Jiao the most basic things of Jinxing spells, and Yao Jiao learned a lot. On this day, Yao Zheng was thinking hard, only to feel that there were more and more white crystals, gathering towards his body. Suddenly, I felt the crystals fluctuate and woke up. At this time, seeing Zhao Qian looking at him with a smile, he said to Yao Jiao: "Hard thinking is certainly one of the most basic channels for absorbing the elements of nature, but sometimes there are many things that can be quickly absorbed and improved. Come with me. ”
I'm a little upset, but I still have to write. I hope it can bring me joy. Thank you for your genuine support.
