Chapter 518: Tianjing's Three Days to Settle the Matter
Nangong Qianchong glanced at Xiao Cheng with a complicated expression, turned his head to look at his own princes, and felt that Xiao Cheng was compared to a cabbage on the street.
"Such an outstanding person, why isn't he a child of the Nangong royal family?" Nangong Qianchong muttered in his heart.
Nangong Wushuang glanced at Xiao Cheng, and the feeling of heartbeat came up again, but when she thought of each other's positions, the eldest princess could only lower her eyes to avoid her true feelings being observed by her father.
How can an undercover agent be so good? Haggard is not enough to describe the state of mind of the eldest princess.
The night banquet continued, juggling, magic, etc. took turns, but nothing could cover Bai Zhenling's dancing and Xiao Cheng's live singing.
Xiao Cheng continued to play a game of affection with the beautiful ladies of various families, and seemed to be tired of it.
This made many wealthy lords disdain in their hearts. Such a monk who can't stand the temptation of women, although his achievements are superb, but he has weaknesses to grasp, and his previous fear of Xiao Cheng has been offset a lot because of the weaknesses he shows.
The night banquet ended, and after Xiao Cheng thanked the emperor for his hospitality, he returned to the hotel to rest under the guidance of the chamberlain.
Nangong Qianchong was very satisfied with tonight's banquet, and what he revealed between the lines was to let the major wealthy families get closer to Xiao Cheng.
As for how to get close, the emperor didn't say much, but after the magnates of each family figured out their intentions, they all knew it in their hearts.
Beginning the next day, many greetings were delivered to the state guesthouse, from the mansions of major magnates and high-ranking officials, and even several princesses and county lords sent invitations.
The meaning is the same, and the reason for inviting the owner of Xiaochang to participate in a private banquet is naturally to deepen his relationship with Xichang.
Actually, this is the meaning of wanting to be a big matchmaker for Xiao Cheng, anyway, there are as many concubines as there are in a man's room, and Xiao Cheng is so lustful, as long as he gives sweetness, he doesn't worry about controlling this young man.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Cheng Committee refused all invitations, the reason is that he is in the bottleneck period of cultivation, and he needs to meditate and practice calmly to avoid going mad, so this kind of banquet cannot be attended frequently.
The words are very polite, but the core meaning is - Lao Tzu is not interested, don't bother Lao Tzu.
At this time, the upper-class nobles were stunned, and the housekeeper who sent the invitation revealed that he wanted to give Xiao Cheng's noble beauties as concubines, and these beauties all met Xiao Cheng at the welcome night banquet.
The news soon reached the ears of the emperor, he and the nineteenth prince looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing in his heart that Xiao Cheng had already seen through their thoughts, but he was just pushing the boat down the river, pretending to be a beauty trick to coax them to play, making them happy for a night, thinking that there was a weakness to grasp, in fact, this was a gesture made by Xiao Cheng on purpose, he knew in his heart, no, he refused the invitation.
"Little fox!"
Nangong Qianchong scolded, knowing that this matter was in vain, so he could only pinch his nose and go to the forbidden place and ask several ancestors to come out.
The high-level members of the Nangong royal family started a tense discussion, and they really needed to consider it carefully if they disagreed with Xiao Cheng's proposal.
The day after the night banquet, the holy decree was issued, due to the bad behavior of the end of the face bones, cancel his marriage with the Nangong puppet, in order to make up for the spiritual loss of the county lord of the Nangong puppet, the county lord can be autonomous after the marriage, and no one can interfere.
As soon as the holy decree came out, Tianjing was in an uproar, and Nangong occasionally cried with joy.
The three days were quickly up, and Nangong Qianchong met with Xiao Cheng again in the imperial study and gave an answer.
The three sects can be divided into the West Factory, however, there are additional conditions.
First of all, the number of masters sent by Xichang to take turns to serve in the royal family worship group is twice as large as that of other sects, and the time for this special case is a hundred years.
Secondly, after the establishment of the West Factory as an official sect, the number of monks stationed on the Guardian (the Great Wall of Metal) was also doubled, and the time was the same as in the first article.
Third, if there is a crisis of overturning of the Nangong royal family, Xichang has the responsibility to pull it, only once.
These three conditions are the bottom line of negotiation given by the royal family, to put it bluntly, it is to pull the West Factory into the chariot of the imperial family, and the alliance is closer. Otherwise, the royal family would rather offend the West Factory than give it to a sect.
Xiao Cheng was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to the conditions for the sake of Nangong Tang's face.
Almost at the same time as the matter was decided, the other three royal families spit out the information of several sites in full accordance with the requirements of the Xichang Protector, which had reached Xiao Cheng's ears.
Tianjing Secret Hall is not a vegetarian, and this matter reached the ears of the emperor.
The three empires, like the Nanyan Empire, all put forward many demands, but they were all vetoed by the hard-line inner door protectors, and they put aside cruel words - if they dare to put forward conditions, they will go to war.
In the end, the extremely strong attitude of the West Factory forced the three royal families to retreat together, and according to the requirements of the West Factory, they spit out part of the territory, and the matter came to an end.
The territory assigned to the West Factory is completely self-controlled by the sect, and the major empires are not allowed to interfere.
The news confirmed that Emperor Nanyan sat in the imperial study for a long time, and he understood that Xiao Cheng had already given face to the Nanyan Empire, and the three conditions were acceptable, which was enough to show that the alliance between Xichang and the Nanyan Imperial Family was quite strong.
There is a contrast, and the difference will be shown. Nangong Qianchong's heart was much more comfortable.
Xiao Cheng was quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip, and handed the news to the emperor, wanting to leave the capital, the Longxiang West Factory was about to open, and he needed to go back to prepare.
With so many sites, all of which have immortal essence stone veins, the Dragon Elephant West Factory can start a sect.
When the mountain gate is opened, you can recruit disciples from the four continents, Xiao Cheng decided to get out the advertising and publicity, saying that he would also recruit 100,000 disciples, otherwise, how could there be the momentum of a large sect?
There is a special case when the mountain gate is opened, and in the future, it will be necessary to follow the rules and choose disciples in conjunction with many sects, which is nothing more than the experience of the suspended continent and the like, and the best of the best.
But when the mountain gate is opened, what is needed is a lively and big scene, so not only those with excellent talents, but also those with cultivation talents can be selected. This is a rare opportunity for this young man with ordinary talent.
After all, it takes hundreds of years to encounter a large-scale sect, and this kind of thing is not a cabbage, and it is impossible to encounter it from time to time.
Only large sects have the right to accept disciples when they open their sects, and small and medium-sized sects can only follow all sects to screen some elites, and the difference between them is too great.
The qualifications of large-scale sects, the Nanyan Empire has been properly handled, and Longxiang Xichang is a large-scale sect officially recognized by the empire, enjoying the same rights as Shangyang Xuegong.
For example, newly discovered veins have the right to be mined, and resources are purchased first...... Wait, anyway, there are a lot of benefits, and correspondingly, the obligations and responsibilities of large sects must also be observed.
Xiao Cheng agreed to the three major conditions of the empire, and the responsibility was heavier. However, he is not bothered, and there is nothing wrong with contributing to the four continents.
When the dust fell, the Nanyan Empire issued a statement to the four continents, and the three sects, including Zixiao Heaven, were allocated to the name of Xichang. The opening ceremony of the West Plant will be launched in a few months.
The news spread, and the cultivation circles of the four continents were boiling.
Before Xiao Cheng wanted to leave Tianjing, the invitation post of the eldest princess Nangong Wushuang was delivered to Xiao Cheng.
