Chapter 8 Aftermath
Chen Xun, Nan Xingyi, and Ah Ke waited outside the main hall for a while, and Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, came out of it, his face was somewhat uncontrollable and angry, and he only said to Fengba and Fenghu: "You are waiting here, and my father has another will." He also invited Chen Xun, Meng Xiaoyao and others to his Jinxia Lake Palace for a banquet.
When he arrived at the Jinxia Lake Palace, King Jiang Lan of Qing first pulled Chen Xun to the secret room and spoke: "Do you really not understand in your heart, or do you not understand, my father's policy of dividing the emperor is to let all the clans and sects share his worries and rule these tribes, so as not to cause him troubles in the future, how can you recommend the Feng clan as the Marquis of Wolf Tooth today?"
Chen Xun's expression was as usual, and he asked with a smile, "What did the emperor say?"
"Father Chrysostom said, since the words are spoken, naturally they will not count. Qingwang Jiang Lan said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to know what Chen Xun thinks in his heart?" Chen Xun asked, he guessed that Emperor Xiwu ordered Fengba and Fenghu to stay, it should be about knighthood.
"You say. King Qing said.
"In the domain of thousands of miles in Lanzhou, there are only four or five million people in the large and small tribes, and the strength of the clans and clans has an absolute advantage, and there are emperors and ancestors of the Tian family in charge, even if these four or five million barbarian tribes are forcibly enslaved, it is as easy as a finger," Chen Xun said, "But Chen Xun thinks about the ambition of the emperor, and he will never be in this ten thousand miles domain, right?"
"Xuelong Mountain is tens of thousands of miles, there were no big clans originally, but it was only after my father entered Xuelong Mountain that the hands of the Dahong and Fenghou clans reached out. Most of the thousands of tribes on both sides of Xuelong Mountain originally surrendered to their father, but they soon fell to the Dahong and Fenghou clans, which is also the reason why the father emperor was not very at ease with the remaining tribes. King Qing said.
"These tribes are all grass on the wall, which side of the wind is strong and which side falls, today they can fall to Dahong, the queen of the wind, and he can also fall to the emperor in the future, the key is which side gives the greater benefits, which side is stronger," Chen Xun said, "But if the emperor today even the subjugated tribes can't guarantee their interests, if he wants to dominate the entire Snow Dragon Mountain Range, he will inevitably step on the corpse mountain and the sea of blood; The tribes after the wind will inevitably resist to the death, and even if they can't resist, they will inevitably choose to withdraw from the Snow Dragon Mountain, take refuge in other big clans, and have been enemies with the Lanzhou for generations......"
"......," said King Qing, "in your opinion, the Emperor's plan is not feasible at all?"
Chen Xun said: "Yunzhou forces, it is not easy to bully the strong with the weak, whether you are at ease or not, if the emperor wants to govern Xuelong Mountain, he needs to use the strategy of barbarian governance." ”
"What you said makes sense," King Qing Jiang Lan's expression softened slightly, and he sighed slightly, "But you shouldn't have confronted your father in front of you today." ”
Chen Xun Zhengse said: "Chen Xun has something wrong today, but I think that there will be no opportunity to speak in front of the emperor in the future, so I can only show my true heart with courage, hoping that the emperor can think about it." Chen Xun also hopes that the monarch can convey Chen Xun's heartfelt words to the emperor, so as not to lose the original intention of Chen Xun and the monarch as courtiers......"
"Hearing you say that, it seems that you did the right thing today?" King Jiang Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly at Chen Xun's righteous words.
"Chen Xun does everything from his heart. Chen Xun still said seriously.
"Okay, okay, what you said this king will tell my father, whether you can listen to it or not, it's not something that this king can predict at this time," King Jiang Lan waved his robe sleeves and said, "You rose from Wushan, but your temperament is too straightforward, so you offended so many people and let so many people not tolerate you - today is unpleasant with Meng Xiaoran, right?"
Listening to the tone of King Jiang Lan of Qing, it seemed that he did not regard him as an outsider, Chen Xun said smoothly: "Chen Xun is indeed a little worse tempered, and he will definitely listen to the king's lesson and restrain him in the future." ”
Seeing King Qing walking out of the secret room, he looked like two people who were angry just now, Meng Xiaoran didn't know what Chen Xun said in such a short period of time, which could actually make King Qing turn his worries into peace?
Ge Tong didn't go with him to meet the emperor just now, and it was the first time that King Qing didn't let him participate in the secret discussion, and he didn't know what happened today for a while, so he just sat up straight and sat down with King Gonghou Qing.
King Qing sat down behind Qingyu's long case, and then apologized to Meng Xiaoran with a smile, and said, "There are some trivial things to discuss with Chen Xun, so that Meng Zhenren has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Today, Xiaoran and Chen Zhenren are also fate," Meng Xiaoran smiled slightly and said, "Zhen Niang has not apologized to Chen Zhenren for her rude just now." Chen Zhenren and the disciples in the Juzhen Pavilion have already let people take them, and ask Chen Zhenren to smile, don't shirk it......"
Chen Xun took the gift from Meng Xiaoran in the air, two Five Elements Spirit Ring, one Little Sumeru Ring, and ten Purple Night Thunder Dao Talismans, secretly saying that Meng Xiaoran had a murderous intention in the city of Lanzhou just now, and he was willing to give a big gift at this time, but he was a decisive hero.
Chen Xun thought to himself that Meng Xiaoran's back was so complicated, but the Jiang family was able to allow Juzhen Pavilion to gain a foothold in Shanzhou, presumably it was the great influence of the Tiandao Sect and the Meng clan in the Tianjun Realm, Meng Xiaoyao had the heart to resolve hostility, and Chen Xun was not a person who did not know how to turn around, when he knew that he was receiving Meng Xiaoran's gift, he thought that after he went back, he would let Nanxing Yi prepare a generally acceptable return gift and send it to Juzhen Pavilion.
"Chen Xun, you actually accepted all the disciples?" King Qing asked, he still thought that Chen Xun had been practicing for less than a hundred years, and his energy would mainly be focused on personal cultivation, and he would not be in a hurry to accept disciples.
"Ah Ke, are you coming over to see King Qing?" Chen Xun asked Ah Ke to come forward to salute King Qing, introducing Nan Xingyi's identity and his relationship with the Nan clan.
"This king has a small play, and he has three Xuanying sword qi stored in it, which can be used for self-defense, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for Ake. King Qing didn't expect that Chen Xun was still a person who attached great importance to affection, although the qualifications of this beautiful girl in front of him were extraordinary, but they were not necessarily strong enough to make Chen Xun tempted to accept apprentices, naturally Chen Xun valued his relationship with the Nan clan and accepted this woman as an apprentice, thinking that since this girl was the only disciple under Chen Xun's disciple, her status in Wushan was naturally important, and she took out a jade amber from her arms at the moment and gave it to Ah Ke as a gift.
King Qing carried a magic weapon for self-protection, which was naturally not an ordinary product, Ah Ke glanced at Chen Xun quite hesitantly, Chen Xun laughed and said: "Ah Ke, don't you want to thank you soon?"
In front of Emperor Xiwu, Chen Xun resolutely pushed the Wolf Tooth Marquis to the Youfeng clan, because he didn't want Wushan to be involved in an inexplicable bloody war, but he couldn't let King Qing think that Wushan had a mind to be good for himself, so he couldn't just shirk King Qing's reward.
After this incident, Chen Xun said goodbye to Meng Xiaoran in Qingwang's Mansion and returned to Wushan Daoyuan in a copper car.
Nanxingyi and Nanke also got into the car.
Nan Ke couldn't hide anything in his heart, and said directly: "Emperor Xiwu wants to divide the thousands of miles of land on the Langya Peninsula to Shizun, and the Youfeng clan who has lived on the Langya Peninsula for generations will be a tribe ruled by Shizun in the future. ”
"Nonsense," Chen Xun scolded with a smile, "You can also see today's scene, and now that my whereabouts are exposed, the Tian clan and the Yuanwu Marquis Mansion will all be staring at the Wushan Daoist Academy, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be countless open guns and hidden arrows." I won't always be by your side, and you don't want to provoke right and wrong and cause trouble. ”
"My dad was staring at me, and I didn't stand a chance to get into trouble. Ke stuck out her tongue and said.
"Is the sect master worried that although the Youfeng clan is subordinate to Emperor Xiwu, it may not be able to surrender to Wushan?" Nan Xingyi cut off his daughter's words, didn't let her mess around, and turned the topic to the main topic.
"That's for sure," Chen Xun said, "Feng Ba and Feng Hu may not be the strongest of the Feng Clan, but they both have the strength to fight against the powerhouses of the Law Xiang Realm, if Wushan really wants to suppress the Feng Clan, how many people do you have to transfer over?"
The copper car was dragged by four black cunning horses, and the two incense sticks returned to Wushan Dao Courtyard in time, and they saw Feng Ba and Feng Hu leading two snow-white beasts and treating each other in front of the fork in the road outside Wushan Dao Courtyard.
"The two of you are waiting for me here?" Chen Xun asked as he stepped out of the copper cart.
"Thank you Chen Zhenren for today's events. He has something to do in Wushan every day, and he will inform him, and the wind tyrant and the wind tiger will never die. Feng Ba arched his hand and said.
"That's too strict," Chen Xun laughed, "Let's go in and talk." ”
The Wushan Daoist Academy was full of ordinary disciples, only to know that the sect master had arrived in Shanzhou, and it was boiling for a while, and they all crowded into the courtyard outside the main hall to watch Chen Xun entertain the two barbarians of the Feng clan.
"The matter of the Marquis of Wolftooth has been decided?" Chen Xun asked Feng Ba and Feng Hu to sit down behind the long case, he was also most concerned about this issue, as long as this matter was decided, even if Emperor Xiwu was displeased in his heart, it would not have much impact.
Wushan didn't want to get involved in the inexplicable bloody war, but he didn't have any other thoughts, if Emperor Xiwu couldn't even tolerate this, how could he serve the public?
"It's settled, when Fengba and Fenghu come back this time, they will invite the clan master to enter Shanzhou to accept the canonization. Feng Ba said, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, he didn't know that if Chen Xun didn't refuse Emperor Xiwu's reward on the spot, what would the Feng clan do.
"Chen Xun has another matter, he has to discuss with the Youfeng clan. Chen Xun said.
"The emperor's policy of dividing the feudal is also eager to develop Shanzhou, presumably the two barbarians can also understand the emperor's painstaking efforts," Chen Xun said, "Just now in front of the emperor, the two barbarians also heard that Chen Xunyun made a promise to choose a place to build a city on the Langya Peninsula." At this time, Wushan is willing to exchange a thousand pieces of dragon scales for a hundred miles of land to build a city on the Langya Peninsula, and he also asks the Feng clan to be tolerant. ”
"Chen Zhenren arrived, and the emperor also mentioned this matter, if Chen Zhenren can go to the Youfeng clan with Fengba and Fenghu as guests, the matter of building a city can be determined in these two days," Fengba also didn't want to open branches outside the festival, and cut out a hundred miles of land, it would be much stronger than the entire Youfeng clan being enslaved by Wushan, and said, "Don't mention the matter of dragon scales." ”
"Don't shirk the Feng clan, this is necessary," Chen Xun said, "In addition to the dragon scale purchase of land, the city built by Wushan is also subordinate to the Feng clan, and the matter of tribute should also be decided as soon as possible." ”
"......" Feng Ba was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Chen Xun to put his posture so low, Wushan not only had the idea of ruling the Youfeng Clan, but also built a city on the Langya Peninsula, but also accepted the rule of the Youfeng Clan, and paid tribute to the Youfeng Clan?
He didn't know Chen Xun's thoughts, Wushan was now mobilizing the resources to build a city, which was not a big problem, but he couldn't transfer any manpower to guard it.
The city built by Wushan on the Langya Peninsula accepted the rule of the Youfeng clan and paid tribute to the Youfeng clan, and if there was any danger, the Youfeng clan had the responsibility and obligation to protect it; Chen Xun believed that the Youfeng clan would not be kind enough to ask Wushan for much tribute.
