Jiang You bypassed the people on the returning ground and walked into the main hall, where he saw a white-bearded old man sitting upright.

This old man is thin and thin, wearing a plain gray cloth coat, only about one meter six or five tall, compared with Jiang You, he looks even shorter, his gray beard hangs down to his chest, his face is not old at all, ruddy and smooth like a baby, but if you look at each other, you can see the vicissitudes of a year from those bright eyes.

It was hard to imagine that such a neutral voice and domineering sword intent just now were from the hands of this old man.

There were two old men, a man and a woman, sitting on both sides, who were originally closing their eyes to recuperate, as if they were upset when they saw the disciples kneeling at the door, and they simply couldn't see it, but after Jiang You came in, they also opened their eyes, and their eyes were much sharper than the old man's, and they threw themselves at Jiang You like a sword, which suddenly made his skin instinctively tight.

These two should be the Great Elders of the Inner Gate, and the old woman among them should be Gong Jianqiu's master.

After Jiang You came in, he fell in the lower position, and the two great elders were silent, only the head of the Emei faction talked to Jiang You.

"This Gu Zhengfeng is the head of the Emei faction of this generation, and I have seen the young master of Yama!"

"After the end of school, I entered the river tour and saw the old-timers!"

At this time, almost all the high-level organizations of the major organizations were controlled by the elderly, which can be said to be the politics of the elderly, that is, the emerging organizations such as Yama and the Progressive Association, and only then did the young high-level appear.

One of the reasons why this situation can occur is that the old man has a considerable accumulation before the revival of the aura, and after the revival of the aura, the accumulation is thick and thin, and the cultivation of one by one rises rapidly, and at this time, the world is fast, step by step, and it will be difficult for young people to catch up for a while.

The second is that the famous sects are all inherited in an orderly manner, and those who have gone up by virtue of their qualifications before, under the operation of power, can also get more cultivation resources than others, and their cultivation speed will go to a higher level.

However, this situation is changing, because there will always be a few demons among the youth, who will come from behind and surpass the predecessors, and after gaining a certain right to speak, as a young person's ideas, there will always be differences with the older generation, and at this time, all kinds of contradictions will arise.

The Emei faction was in this situation at this time, and it was his own personal disciple who took the lead in forcing Gu Zhengfeng to cancel the mountain closure.

Among them, isn't the Emei faction a microcosm of Shangjing? It's just that the composition is more complicated on the Beijing side.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that when the distinguished guests came to the door, there was such an ugly thing as forcing the palace at home, it was really unfortunate for the master, and I asked Young Master Jiang to cover up this matter for Emei in the future."

"This is natural, but I don't know what is going on with such a battle?"

Although Jiang You had already guessed from Gong Jianqiu that it was the closure of the mountain, it was only a guess in the end, and it only counted if he said it in person from the door of Emeizhang.

Gu Zhengfeng said simply, straightforwardly: "It's nothing more than the matter of Emei sealing the mountain formulated by the old man, they want the old man to cancel the closure of the mountain and let the Emei disciples go down the mountain to help the world, if this matter happens to Yama, how will you deal with it?" ”

In the face of Gu Zhengfeng's inquiry, Jiang You did not speak immediately, and quickly calculated in his heart the intention of the old man to say this.

It is extremely taboo for outsiders to meddle in other people's family affairs, which is clear to everyone present, but even so, Gu Zhengfeng still asked what he said, which shows that his intention is not Jiang You's specific handling plan.

This kind of thing can't happen in Yama at all, the reason why this kind of thing can appear is that the leader's control over the organization is beginning to show signs of getting out of control, and Yama is in a stage of rapid development, the interests of the three elders and the fifth master are currently highly consistent, and Jiang You and Lu Xiaoxiao, as the grandchildren of the fifth master, even have differences, and they are all discussed behind closed doors, and the external caliber is the same, it can be said that the fifth master's control of rights is extremely strict, not a person recognized by himself, can't touch the power in Yama at all, that is, Jiang You has been secretly tested by the fifth master, and Lu Xiaoxiao is still only a hall master in the headquarters.

The fact that Emei can appear shows that there is a problem with its power structure, is it because Emei closed the mountain, and after the external could not obtain resources, it turned into an internal struggle.

But the person who took the lead was Gu Zhengfeng's personal disciple, and this identity made this matter, could it be that Gu Zhengfeng used his disciples to test the true attitude of these two great elders? Did you use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole?

But it's not right, if that's the case, why did Zhou Zhengfeng ask himself this question? He thought what I said would help him in his current situation.

Emei has the willingness to cooperate with Yama, and if he cooperates with Yama, the first basic premise is that Emei must first cancel the closure of the mountain.

If you speculate from this point, this week Zhengfeng actually has the will to cancel the mountain closure, and the question now is, how to cancel, how to cancel, and to what extent the cancellation can be acceptable to a person.

And the matter of closing the mountain, except for Emei, Qingcheng, and Qingyang Palace all adopted the same policy, which shows that it is the consensus of the Shu organization, there must be a strong external cause that caused them to have to close the mountain, and now this situation is a farce of forcing the palace after Zhou Zhengfeng's attitude has changed, and the time is stuck when he is about to leave Emei.

Jiang You's brain was running rapidly, and between the lightning and flint, he guessed with the information he knew.

This forced palace is a scene directed and acted by Zhou Zhengfeng!

And as the head of Emei, he still needs to go to such great lengths to come up with this one, and the only answer is the resistance of the two elders.

Far from supporting the lifting of the mountain closure, the two elders are the main force behind the mountain closure!

The fifth master asked Jiang You to participate in the game between himself and the high-level members of the Righteous Path Alliance, and then gave him a review, and took the trouble to pay attention to the explanation, and finally saw results at this time.

If it was the original Jiang You, he would misjudge the true attitude of the two elders, and thus expose it in the next words.

Only by thoroughly understanding the intricacies of this can we give Zhou Zhengfeng the answer he wants to hear.

This is also another test of Zhou Zhengfeng's Jiangyou.

The test is whether he is qualified to negotiate on an equal footing with himself on behalf of Yama.

Before entering the door, Jiang You's strength is tested, without strength, I am afraid that this door will not be able to enter, and after entering, it will be a test of his mind and resourcefulness.

When Jiang You thought of this, he still couldn't figure it out, what kind of role did this Gong Jianqiu play in it?

He is a personal disciple of the Great Elder, but he is the main force in canceling the closure of the mountain?

There are only two answers to such a situation, one is that there is information that Jiang You does not know. The second is that Gong Jianqiu is simply simple-minded, and he was used as a sword by others.

Somehow, Jiang You felt that the second answer might be closer to the truth.

Jiang You paused for a long time, and Zhou Zhengfeng was also very patient waiting for him, after all, his next sentence was very important.

It's also normal to think about important words before you say them.

After Jiang You's eyes quickly flashed over the two great elders, he said with a smile: "What era is it now, Yama Luo doesn't engage in a word, and the opinions of the people below are still very important, if you don't know how to be flexible and insist on going your own way, won't you become a single husband?" ”

Jiang You's eyes swept over Zhou Zhengfeng and saw in his eyes, Jiang You also deliberately did it for Zhou Zhengfeng, Zhou Zhengfeng laughed, stroked his beard with his hand and said: "Hahaha, that's a good point, I don't know how to be flexible in this era, Yan Luo can have such a talented young master, and he will definitely be prosperous in the future."

Since this is the case, then do what Young Master Jiang said, evil obstacles, don't get in yet! ”

Jiang You's answer made Zhou Zhengfeng extremely satisfied, and he scolded him outside the door.

The disciple who took the lead outside entered.

"Master, Elder Li, Elder Gong, Young Master Jiang! Xu Haoqing saluted. ”

This person saluted the four people, except for Jiang You, who returned the salute, the other three did not move at all.

"Did you hear Young Master Jiang's words?"

"I hear you."

"Well, I'll give you a chance today, so that you can explain clearly why you want to cancel the closure of the mountain, otherwise you will really fall into the name of a lone husband and laugh at the world!"

When Zhou Zhengfeng said this, he glanced at the two great elders with a smile.

Immediately, Xu Haoqing began to make a long speech from the perspective of saving the common people from fire and water, solving the inversion of the people's livelihood and developing and expanding the Emei faction, with a sonorous voice, a quote from the scriptures, and a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Jiang You also praised in his heart when he heard this, "What an eloquent statement!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhengfeng nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but you are so disrespectful, you dare to use such a means to commit the following crimes, if the disciples in the future will follow suit, then what else can I do as the head of the family, I must not be punished, all the disciples who participated in this matter will be punished for one year, and at the same time be grounded in the mountain and meditate on their own mistakes!" ”

After Zhou Zhengfeng finished speaking, he smiled and said to the two great elders: "Two, do you think this punishment is enough?" If it's not enough, I'll punish it more heavily! ”

Jiang You shouted shamelessly in his heart, this and the fifth master can't be half-brothers, their hearts are all black, and they start to punish their disciples when they have a reason, isn't it just that the matter of canceling the mountain closure is finalized by acquiescence?

And he punished him thinly, turned around and asked the two great elders for their opinion, didn't that make these two great elders evil?

Moreover, those who can be taken by Xu Haoqing to do things are the elite of the disciples of the inner gate of Emei, I didn't look at the young man who was weak before, is it good to cultivate the spirit tree in the spirit valley at this time, although the closure of the mountain has been canceled, in fact, only the ordinary disciples of the outer gate and the inner gate can go down the mountain, and the core elite still has not moved, which can be regarded as a compromise and appeasement to the two elders.

This person is really scheming, scheming, worthy of being the head of Emei, he is really level!

Elder Gong snorted coldly, her cold face was the same as Gong Jianqiu, she stood up and walked out directly, and said on the way: "Senior Brother in charge has already made a conclusion, and he also asked our opinion to do something, that is, be careful to cut off Emei's foundation!" ”

Elder Li next to him also got up and said to Gu Zhengfeng: "Senior brother, junior brother retires!" ”

nodded at Jiang You and left together.

Gu Zhengfeng looked at the back of his junior brother, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Soon, Gu Zhengfeng returned to normal, and waved his hand at Xu Haoqing, "The matter is all settled, the evil obstacles, why don't you retreat with these disciples, and you have to snub your distinguished guests!" ”

"Yes, the disciple is retiring!"

Xu Haoqing bowed his hand to Zhou Zhengfeng, then smiled at Jiang You, and then left with everyone.

"Hahaha, I dealt with the family matter, but it made Young Master Jiang smile."

"The ancient master, with the common people in his heart, is really admirable!"

"Haha, let's not talk about it, now that the eyesore are gone, we can talk about business!"

I don't know who the eye-catching person Zhou Zhengfeng said is talking about.

"Emei's mountain closure has been canceled, and he is about to join the WTO, but the number of his own disciples is not enough, and there is no spare strength for many things, and the Yama family has a great cause and dominates Qin Province, Emei intends to cooperate with Yama, I don't know what Jiang Shao thinks?"

"The ancient head of the family praised falsely, Yama's small family and small business, established for a few years, compared with Emei, a big faction with a long heritage, it is simply not worth mentioning, and Yama pays attention to win-win cooperation, is humble and kind, and has a good reputation in various organizations in Qin Province.

Jiang You's face is full of nonsense that does not change.

"Oh, that's it, alas, I often don't move around in Shudi, and I heard the news that everyone is also cloudy, and recently I heard that the scabbard behind the young master Jiang turned out to be a thing of the meridian view, and it was forcibly taken away by Yama Luo during the young master's ceremony, and it was the most congratulatory gift. Today, when I saw Young Master Jiang so humble and gentlemanly, I realized how ridiculous this rumor was! ”

The corners of Jiang You's mouth twitched, thinking. "Okay, now I know what you're doing in retreat, and you've been collecting information about Yama and me all this time!"

"The one who spread this rumor is really a pickled villain, this scabbard is a meridian view, but it is also borrowed by the fifth master for me, and it will be changed later, this kind of chasing wind and shadows, the ancient master can't listen to it!"

"Hahaha, it's nature!"

The old fox and the little fox looked at each other and laughed, everything was silent.

Then Gu Zhengfeng began to talk with Jiang You about the way of cooperation, Qin Province and Shu Province are adjacent to each other, Emei wants to open up the trade routes of the two provinces, and at the same time settle in the major cities of Shu to establish business and its own influence.

It is necessary for Yama to send people to assist Emei, and in exchange, Yama can also expand his own power to the Shu side, and at the same time, Yama can get a share of the benefits.

Jiang You thought, this old fox is really angry, and he will only give one percent when he comes up, and Shu is so chaotic, Yan Luo just wanted to develop this side before, and he didn't need to get your consent, right, now that the mountain closure has been canceled, he will have to pay protection money with external strength? This face becomes so fast.

Jiang You naturally wouldn't agree, and he was entangled with Gu Zhengfeng in the interests of one percent, and finally talked about two percent in the first three years, and then reduced to one and a half percent.

Gu Zhengfeng thought in his heart, the establishment of these affairs, the first two years are the stage of development, the interests are on the rise, two percent is not much, the third year can basically reach the peak, Yama Luo is at most that year, it is not unacceptable, but he still said that Jiang You helped Emei this time, for Jiang You's sake, it should be regarded as a favor.

Then Gu Zhengfeng began to ask about Zhanyuan Academy, and Jiang You saw that he was quite interested, so he invited them to send a team of teachers to Emei to settle in.

Gu Zhengfeng just smiled and shook his head, saying that he was going to open an academy in Shu Province as well, and when the time came, the two academies could communicate and exchange.

"It's a dime!" Jiang You scolded in his heart, and then said that Qin Province had formed a righteous path alliance, and those who joined were all famous and decent, since Emei cooperated with Yan Luo, after joining the alliance, they would be a family, and a family would do business, so many things would be much more convenient.

Gu Zhengfeng is indeed very interested in the Righteous Path Alliance, and said that he can join, but the affairs of the Righteous Path Alliance in Shu Province need to be raised by Emei, and in the future, the organization of Shu Province can only be pulled in by Emei, and the Righteous Path Alliance cannot be pulled into Shu Province by itself.

Although Gu Zhengfeng is the head of Emei, Emei is also a famous family with a good reputation. But it is precisely because of this that he has a deep understanding of how rich the benefits are from occupying the name of a righteous path, once the righteous path alliance grows bigger, who is the right way in the rivers and lakes from now on, and who is the right to define the evil path can be held in his hands, and he will naturally occupy the great righteousness, and the benefits will be endless!

Emei is the most powerful sect, and his influence in Shu is extraordinary, and being able to join the Righteous Path Alliance is also a powerful supplement and endorsement to it, which makes people see that the members of the Righteous Path Alliance are all big organizations with heads and faces, and this credibility is naturally high, which is in line with the development plan of the Five Masters for the Righteous Path Alliance.

"There are many members in the Righteous Path Alliance, whether Emei can join or not, as the young master of Yama, I can't decide, I need to go back to the meeting to discuss, but I believe that the other members will welcome Emei to join, after all, there are some righteous people who care about the common people like the ancient masters, worry about the country and the people, and are dedicated to the people!"

The two quickly worked out a rough plan, and then Yan Luo and Emei needed to send a negotiation team to conduct final negotiations and sign documents at a location between the two organizations.

Although the signing of the document has no legal effect, everyone is a figure with a head and a face, and if they violate the contract, they will go out and slap their faces publicly, how can they mix in the rivers and lakes later? What other face professes to be right?

Everyone is taking the route of sustainable development, and the thing of drying up the rivers and burning the forests and hunting will still not be done, and at this level, the signed documents also have a layer of guarantee.

And with the growth of the Righteous Path Alliance, the cooperation between the internal organizations of this alliance can also play a role in supervision and supervision in the future, which is also what the Fifth Master wants to do.

Later, when other organizations cooperate, there is no need to find a distance between the two places, and they sign contracts directly at the meeting point of the Zhengdao Alliance, which is jointly supervised by all member organizations, and only needs to pay a "negligible" fee.

Once one party breaks the contract, it is an evil way, and all righteous people on the rivers and lakes can be punished.

After the two negotiated, Jiang You still felt that something was wrong in his heart, especially what Elder Gong said before leaving, don't cut off Emei's foundation.

Is the impact of this lifting of the mountain closure so great?

Jiang You also directly asked why the famous families in Shu had adopted the policy of closing the mountain, and what concerns existed.

But Gu Zhengfeng talked about him left and right, his tone was very tight, and he didn't reveal any news, but just praised Jiang You's understanding, and he was able to change the Qiushui Sword to the time of the day and change it to the Chunshui Sword, which is higher than his talent as the head of Emei, which is really admirable.

Jiang You thought to himself, "It seems that this is the key, I have to tell the fifth master later, don't let Emei get into a pit!" ”

After thinking about it, Jiang You left under Gu Zhengfeng's repeated retention.

"This old fox is really slippery, and it is incompatible with this Emei person, and the heir chosen by the previous generation of leaders is really the right choice! But don't be afraid, I'm only responsible for pulling the strings, and let the fifth master fight with him later, and see which of the two is more treacherous! ”

Jiang You took the donkey and left Emei under the personal send-off of Gu Zhengfeng.

Jiang You's original plan was to go back to Yama directly, but because there were many doubts about the closure of the mountain, he thought that he would go around Shu more and see if he could find out the strange place!
