Chapter 286: On the occasion of employing people
He Yu was not from Chumen Town, this was an unexpected discovery, in my impression, before the meeting, the situation of the monks submitted by various counties and towns was clearly written that He Yu was born in Chumen Town, and there must be an inside story.
It should be the best way to ask the mundane steward here, but after asking the old man, he found that the previous steward had died of illness a few years ago, and the current mundane steward was his nephew, who was not very old, so he must not know what happened at the beginning.
However, the issue of origin is not considered a serious fraud, perhaps it was just a matter of writing at the beginning, the various sects of the Tianyuan Hokuriku do not strictly prohibit the movement of population, only the families with a large number of people and large amounts of property will be subject to some restrictions when the family moves. Jiang Feng planned to do this, and when he had free time, he directly asked He Yu himself about it.
Origin is not important, as long as it is loyal to the sect, born in Chixiamen, or a human race, Jiang Feng can accept it. The Asagama sect is at the time of employing people, and it is meaningless to be entangled in these details.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, the three of them went out of Chumen Town, settled in an abandoned ancient temple outside the town, rested for two days, and stayed until the evening of the third day, when they saw two streamers passing through the sky, and the breath of one of them was Lei Youqi, and the two felt the breath released by Jiang Feng, so they fell down and entered the ancient temple.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I'm late. ”
Jiang Feng had made an appointment with Lei Youqi before and did not reveal his identity as the head of the house, so Lei Youqi only told his friend the name "Jiang Xiaobai" that Jiang Feng used in the past, "This is my friend Fan Xihai." ”
"Fortunately, fortunately. Jiang Feng clenched his fists and signaled, this prefecture-level monk named Fan Xihai was not tall, his brown hair was thick and curly, his face was red, his robe was slightly old, unkempt, and the most obvious thing was that there was a strong smell of pills on his body, even if he stood ten steps away, he couldn't get rid of it.
"Are you Jiang Xiaobai?" Fan Xihai also looked at Jiang Feng, who was a Xuan-level cultivator, with triangular eyes, "Originally, I didn't like fighting methods, but since you are Brother Lei's friend, I can help with this." However, I said in advance that the spirit stone would have to pay half of it first, and besides, I still have one condition. ”
"Fellow Daoist, please speak!" said in advance that it was necessary to have good conditions, and Jiang Feng didn't want to have a dispute in the middle, which was a taboo for cooperation, but Fan Xihai's attitude made him a little disliked.
"I'm going to explore that tomb with you and take half of the proceeds. ”
"This ......"
Jiang Feng hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but look at Lei Youqi, he didn't expect that he had informed Fan Xihai of this matter, but he saw Lei Youqi blinking, his face was a little unbearable, "Xihai, didn't we say it before, the three of them will be divided equally?"
"I suddenly remembered that I didn't calculate the furnace pill that came to help the punch and caused the loss. Moreover, your friend's cultivation is too poor, I originally thought it was a Xuan-level consummation, and most of them have to fight for their lives to help the fist this time. ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll discuss it with Xiaobai. ”
Lei Youqi's face turned slightly red, pulled Jiang Feng, and the two walked a little farther, "Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be so concerned about the spirit stone, but since we urgently need help now, why don't I let some of it, and you will suffer less losses." On the other hand, I was going to come by the convoy of the Chamber of Commerce, but Xihai felt that the Assayama Sect was just a small sect, and there was no need to remember so many rules, so I came with him with the sword, please forgive me. ”
"That's fine. ”
Jiang Feng waved his hand, knowing what he meant, according to Lei Youqi and Fan Xihai's cultivation, although the latter seems to be close to the middle of the prefecture level, it should not have arrived yet, it is not a high-level monk, according to the conventions of each sect, without permission, it is not possible to fly directly in the realm of his sect, but Jiang Feng does not care about this detail, for the shallow mountain sect without a prefecture-level monk, it must be not only Fan Xihai who tramples on this rule.
"If he's willing to help, it's okay for me to let some, half is half, and it's unknown how many things are available in the tombs on the left and right. ”
After the two finished discussing, Lei Youqi communicated with each other, and soon reached a verbal agreement, Jiang Feng first paid Fan Sihai ten third-order fees, and only six third-order ones were left in hand, reaching a record low, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Eliminate distracting thoughts, secretly think that the daughter will come back after being scattered, this is the price that has to be paid for the sake of his life, and it is the right way to plan how to enter the hometown of Heishuimen in advance.
"These two juniors are also going?" Fan Xihai noticed that there were two other spiritual-level monks on the side.
"My apprentice. ”
"Will it be held back?"
"No, it won't. With them, we can find the entrance to the tomb faster. ”
"You don't know anything about the tomb?" Fan Xihai seemed to suddenly realize something, "If the tomb is not found, or the tomb is empty, what should I do?"
"There was no problem finding the tomb. Jiang Feng explained calmly, saying that Fan Xihai paid too much attention to the tomb, "Brother Lei and I have both entered the tomb, and there should be some treasures left behind, but how much is left is unknown, and how much income can be made can only depend on luck." ”
"That's ......" Fan Xihai sighed, the situation seemed to be slightly different from what he thought, so he became a little anxious, "If the income afterwards is less than five third-order, you ...... Eh, it's Jiang Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you have to compensate me for the loss of five third-order pieces. ”
Well!
Lei Youqi listened to it on the side, his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but deliberately clear his throat, "Xihai, they are all their own brothers, you are a bit too much, whether you can make a fortune or not depends on personal luck, and the most important thing in this trip is to deal with that Jincheng sect monk."
, the treasures in the tombs, just incidentally. As soon as we enter the hometown of Heishuimen, we may be targeted by the other party, you and I should think about it, how to hide the matter of cultivation, you said before that you have a way. ”
"The matter of hiding cultivation is wrapped up in me. It's just that when this happens, you need to pay me a sum of spirit stones. Fan Xihai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and after being staggered, he stopped bothering, and took out two thumb-sized vermilion pills, "When we enter the hometown of Heishuimen, you and I will take this 'Gathering Turtle Breath Pill', and within nine hours, we can collect and cultivate, pretending to be a monk in the middle of the Xuan level." Therefore, there is no need to worry about your opponent being overly prepared in advance. ”
So that's the case, no wonder Lei Youqi informed Fan Xihai about the ancient tomb, Jiang Feng had an understanding, Lei Youqi thought very thoughtfully, otherwise, with his and Lei Youqi's ability, once the other party detected the existence of a prefecture-level monk, he would inevitably find a way to gather more strength, and when the time came, the situation would become even more anxious.
"By the way, apart from me, how many other Taoist friends have you found to help?"
A flash of aura flashed in Fan Xihai's eyes, and he continued, "There is one more thing I want to say in advance, I am here to help the fist, but not to give my life, if the other party has more or as many ground-level monks than us, you can find a way to escape." ”
This......
"If the other side is also two, we can still fight for it. Lei Youqi is not as cowardly as Fan Sihai, "When the time comes, I will hold them back......"
That's not true. ”
Fan Xihai interrupted him, "Although I haven't been to the Jincheng Sect, I heard that their monks are all shrewd, and I have to guard against them having a backhand, so safety comes first, Xiaobai, tell me, how many helpers do you have?"
"Two. ”
"Xuan-level is not good, even consummation is useless. ”
"It's all at the prefecture level. Rest assured, I have already made an appointment with them, and when the time comes, we will leave the ancient tomb and fly straight south, and when we reach the boundary of Wei, they will help. ”
"Is your friend credible?" Fan Xihai didn't seem to have any scruples when he spoke, and turned his head to ask Lei Youqi, he didn't quite believe that this Xuan-level casual cultivator in front of him could invite two prefecture-level helpers, or many of them were half bluffing.
"We are a lifelong friendship, Xihai, you can rest assured. ”
Lei Youqi's face turned even redder, for Fan Xihai, although he was also convinced that he was not a trustworthy person, this was also the bottom line for him to make friends, but he didn't expect him to be so careful about details and spirit stones, and even suspicious for no reason, this was not only disrespectful to Jiang Feng, but also a great harm to himself.
Perhaps, this is the last cooperation with him, Lei Youqi thought secretly.
The three of them set a route, just waiting for night, Fan Xihai didn't like to stay in the ancient temple, and made an excuse that the temple was made of mud tires, which conflicted with his own beliefs, Lei Youqi and he re-entered Chumen Town, each found a place to rest, and set off together in the middle of the night.
Jiang Feng stayed in the ancient temple, leaning on the ruins of the broken wall, thinking about tonight's actions in his heart, and suddenly felt something, but he saw a purple light flying sword, coming straight from the sky, and when the other party fell, it was an acquaintance.
"Jiang Feng, it turns out that you are hiding here to be idle. ”
The person who came was Feng Jiming, different from the previous use of bone wings to fly, this time he came with a flying sword, and also brought Jiang Hai, without asking Jiang Feng, he also knew that he arrived in Luochuan first, and said that he had something important to find himself, Jiang Hai carefully obeyed his orders before, and judged that the matter was urgent, so he would bring him to Chumen Town.
"Huh?" Before Jiang Feng could answer, Feng Jiming seemed to feel something, and looked in the direction of Chumen Town, where there were two groups of cultivators who were not inferior to his own.
"Do you have something?" Jiang Feng motioned to Jiang Hai to find the two apprentices, no matter what happened to Feng Jiming, he would not take Jiang Hai with him on the return journey, and he didn't want Feng Jiming to know about the arrangements for going south to Heishuimen's hometown, so he deliberately did not say a word about Feng Jiming's discovery.
"Ha, if I'm not mistaken, you must be planning something. Feng Jiming showed a smile like "I have seen through it", "Why, Master Jiang also likes to play these conspiracies, and in this position, he really can't help himself." He seemed to sigh with emotion, "Let me be straightforward, there is something you need to do, but don't say that it has anything to do with me, or have anything to do with the Imperial Wind Sect." ”
"Speak. ”
"Someone wants to assassinate Tu Shan. You should know Tu Shan, right? It is said that I have a little friendship with you. I don't believe it myself, but that's what the intelligence says. ”
Friendship?
This information is indeed not accurate, I have indeed met with Tu Shan many times, and there are some records of helping each other, it is not possible to say that it is profound, but it is not so miserable, maybe it is more appropriate to use subtlety, but it is not so mysterious, by the way, it should be more accurate to describe it with the words "there are many intersections", Jiang Feng's heart immediately surged out a lot of words, but he immediately found that he had made a mistake, so he turned to ask, "Who is going to attack him?"
"Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce and Tianli Gate. ”
Hmm? How is this combination? Tianlimen can understand, in the last battle of the Seven Alliances, Tianlimen successfully touched the territory of the Seven Alliances, and later took back a lot by Tu Shan's battle, if they still want to occupy more of the Seven Alliances, Luoyingmen is indeed blocking their way. But the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce is also involved, what's going on?
Didn't the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce just join himself, Leng Tingtao, and Tu Shan to make a dream of the "Beimu Special Zone", which is of great benefit to all parties in the transaction, how could they have a whim and change their minds to kill Tu Shan?
"Accurate information?"
"Of course it's accurate, it's just that the timing of the hand is uncertain. So you should inform Tu Shan as soon as possible, if these two forces are united
Taken together, Tu Shan will definitely die, and it is not a good thing for you Qianshan Sect. ”
If this happens, perhaps the "Hokaki Alliance" that was reached in advance will be dissolved.
Feng Jiming's intelligence made Jiang Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, once Tu Shan fell, although Luoyingmen would not collapse like the Black Water Gate, but its strength would also shrink a lot, and it would even be swallowed up by Tianlimen, of course, Chixiamen might also take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie and become stronger, Tianlimen is fine, even if it annexes the entire territory of Luoyingmen, it will only be far away from the Qianshan Sect, and there will be no land border, but it is not a good thing that Chixiamen is getting stronger and stronger.
No, Tianlimen going south is not a good thing for Chixiamen, and they don't want to be surrounded by strong neighbors.
"Where did this news come from?"
"I don't know. Feng Jiming spread his hands, "I also want to know, but espionage-related affairs are not in my charge." ”
I don't know......?
Jiang Feng stared at Feng Jiming for a while, and didn't find anything abnormal, this person may be lying, but there is a high probability that he won't, the Imperial Wind Sect is new, he believes that the other party will not detect such a secret so quickly, maybe this news was learned from other channels, or it was deliberately informed, thinking of the stirring of the situation in the Seven Alliances, this news is likely to come from a certain sect within the Seven Alliances, among them, the Chixia Sect or the Jincheng faction are the most suspicious.
Chixiamen has this motive, although they know that they are secretly preparing for a new war, but judging from the current situation that all parties have told Jiang Feng, the war will not break out until next year, and Chixiamen must not be fully prepared at this time, from this point of view, the intelligence was known by them, and there is this motivation to spread out, so as to ensure that they have enough time to deal with it, if Tu Shan learns about this, if he is prepared, he may also be consumed with Tianlimen, and in the name of Tu Shan's "madman", most of them will cause a lot of losses to Tianlimen.
As for the Jincheng faction, Jiang Feng only vaguely felt that they and the Imperial Wind Sect might have reached some form of cooperation, just like the temporary intelligence alliance between himself and the Rui Jinmen, although all the goods of the Imperial Wind Sect were sold through the Asakyama Sect, but the Jincheng faction was also one of the necessary sects for the subsequent trade routes, if the Jincheng faction also participated in the alliance that blocked the trade routes of the Imperial Wind Sect, then the situation of the Imperial Wind Sect would deteriorate, so the two sides had a potential basis for cooperation, at least, the Imperial Wind Sect would take the initiative to contact the Jincheng faction to avoid its own trade routes being further blocked。
As for the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, it is easy to think a lot, this must be the idea of the right envoy Li Longjian, in the interaction with Liao Shencang, Jiang Feng has also heard a little about the discord between the left and right envoys of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, presumably the two also have different opinions on the development strategy of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce. This matter should be told to the left envoy Qiu Nanjia first, maybe she is still in the dark.
Thinking about these joints, Jiang Feng was a lot more indifferent in his heart, whether to inform Tu Shan about this matter is actually a general harm to himself, but if he has time, it is better to tell him, and the loss of an ally is not a good thing for the current Qianshan Sect. Moreover, this is also a favor, with Tu Shan's "immediate return" temperament, he should be able to ask for some benefits.
But for now, let's take care of our own affairs first.
"When are you going to leave?" Feng Jiming seemed to be quite surprised by Jiang Feng's cold attitude.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"I thought you would be in a hurry, but it seems that I misunderstood your relationship with Luoyingmen. Feng Jiming pursed his lips and said with a gloating smile, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, I got this news and deliberately delayed it for a long time before leaving." ”
“......”
Dare to feel that this is not so timely information, Jiang Feng couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, saying that you have been delaying for so long, Tu Shan has already been killed, right?
............
Luoying Gate, Taoyuan City, Lingyun Pavilion.
Tu Shan dismissed all his subordinates, only feeling physically and mentally exhausted, the plan set three months ago, for various reasons, has not been completed for a long time, this is not only because of the lack of investment in spirit stones, but also because of the use of people.
The follow-up is powerless!
Although the sect generally seems to be harmonious, the number of monks who can take responsibility is still too small, as a human race sect in the north of the Seven Alliances, if you want to recruit talents, in the case of adjoining the more powerful sect Tianli Sect, it can't be said to be too difficult, but it's not easy.
Capable people are also more picky.
He has understood this truth for many years, but he also knows that this matter needs to be cultivated and cannot be rushed, but since he learned that the matter of Chixiamen's secret training of the monks' battle formation was not discovered by the spy personnel in time, he carefully checked some of his subordinates, and found that there are indeed not a few people who have a vegetarian meal in the corpse, but it is unrealistic to kill them all, on the eve of the war, it is the time to employ people, because of his own impulse, it is not a good strategy to let Luoyingmen fall into turmoil.
He thought that his strength was outstanding, and the monks of the same level who left and right the sect did not dare to confront him head-on, but no matter how strong a person's strength was, he could not help the sect solve all the difficulties, and the longer he served as the head of the sect, the more he understood this truth.
Leave Lingyun Pavilion and return to the Inner Mansion of the Lord.
The heavy stone door of the secret room opened and closed, and the lights of the Soul Fire Palace lit up one after another, and Tu Shan's restless and complicated mood gradually calmed down. All things in the world, only one way of cultivation, can make his state of mind transcendent, once immersed in it, there is no dust in his heart.
He immediately took out a glittering treasure from his storage bag, which was the one he had purchased at a great cost from his trip to Snow Island, and the spiritual power in his hand bloomed, and he held the magic weapon in one place, as if he was afraid that it would escape.
