When Jiang Feng dragged his tired body back to the nameless courtyard, it was already early in the morning. The cold wind of the night was cold to the bone, but his heart was hot.

The main terms of the negotiation were not agreed upon in the end, not because of the issue of the indemnity of the spirit stones of the Ancient Sword Sect, nor because the Biyun Sect did not want to spend resources and manpower to dredge the river, nor because the Jincheng Sect that appeared later wanted to add additional privileges to the Angry Wind Canyon, but because Gu Chuanfu, the "spectator" of the Imperial Wind Sect, threw out a new plan.

Recalling the situation at that time, when Gu Chuanfu hung out the four-foot square wall chart marked with several obvious black lines, not only the representatives of the defeated side, but even Zeng Baoxian, the master of the Chixia Gate who was determined to win everything because of the victory, couldn't help but stand up.

The entire territory of the Seven Alliances is run through by a tree-like network. This newly planned official road network has four starting points, two starting from the southern and southeastern borders of the Yufeng Sect, the former passing through the Hanshan Sect, the northern part of the Qianshan Sect, and then entering the Chixia Gate, the latter going south through the Luoying Gate, and then entering the Chixia Gate to meet with the former, and then continuing southward into the Biyun Sect, and extending east to the Ancient Sword Gate. The other two starting points are located in the eastern part of the Lizong and the hinterland of the Black Water Gate, and the two branch lines converge in the middle of the Asakan Sect, and then go east into the Jincheng Sect, directly into the Biyun Sect, and converge with the road at the starting point of the Yufeng Sect.

The very atmospheric design not only integrates the part related to construction in the previous Seven Alliances peace clauses, but also directly connects with the existing official roads of the Imperial Wind Sect and the Li Sect, bringing the entire Seven Alliances into the influence of the two sects.

It's a pity.

In the Seven Alliances, Jiang Feng was soft-spoken, but in the eyes of the Li Sect and the Imperial Wind Sect, everyone in front of them, except for the Tianli Sect, I am afraid that no one would dare to attack him directly. Pretending to ignore the faces of the first few people like pig's liver, Gu Chuanfu still maintained a warm and warm look like a spring breeze, and said lightly:

"Brother Yu and I have already discussed, all the road costs, our two sects will bear eighty percent, after all, it is built according to high standards, for your sect, it is indeed a big burden; You can think about it carefully, and I personally think that this plan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all of us here. ”

He lowered his head and looked at Yu Chengke, who was sitting on the side and kept silent, with the cultivation of the ancient legend Fu Xuan, even if he had the background of the Imperial Wind Sect, he couldn't control the situation alone.

Yu Chengke raised his head, folded the peace plan thrown by Zeng Baoxian on the table into a palm-sized square, and put it in his sleeve, and the coercion of the prefecture level echoed in the warm pavilion again, but the murderous aura was much lower than when he stopped the commotion before.

"Brother Gu's meaning is what I mean, and it's also what Lizong means. There is no need to rush to express your position, and we will discuss it in three days. ”

............

Shen Jiufeng returned to his residence alone, and the meeting was about to disperse, so he deliberately took a step first, and did not go with Zheng Jiasheng, the head of the Biyun Sect, who was also the loser.

But Biyun Sect couldn't save the Ancient Sword Sect, or more accurately, couldn't save him Shen Jiufeng.

Indemnity, these are not the most important issues for him at the moment, the ancient sword sect has been passed down to him for six generations, whether it is the savings of the sect in the past, or the reserves of his own family, it is enough to deal with this crisis, all he wants is time, so that it is convenient to solve the problems in the sect, "Washing Sword Valley" is a third-level spiritual land, yes, it is the birthplace of the sect, and it is reasonable that it has a special meaning and cannot be lost, but this is just an excuse for those people in the sect to impeach themselves.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic.

When this sentence sounded in his ears again, he realized that he was still a bad move in the end, and he was a little late in the secret way, and he was too principled, and when Gu Chuanfu threw out the "big unblocked" plan, he reminded himself again that he could no longer hesitate in that matter.

"Are you here?"

As soon as he entered the door, a tall and thin brown-shirted disciple came up to greet him, this young man is his personal inheritance, everything is trustworthy, he entered the door early in the morning, and cultivated according to his successor, so he did not deliberately maintain the momentum of the master of a sect, but asked directly.

"I just arrived, and I'm waiting in the cabinet. ”

"Stay here. Shen Jiufeng's haggard face squeezed out a trace of brilliance, took a deep breath, casually hit three soundproof notes, and entered the cabinet, which was a visitor from Qi State.

............

"Senior brother, will it be rude for us to go slowly like this?"

On a flying dragon boat fifteen zhang long and three zhang wide, Qiu Baisi, the head of Heishuimen, was carefully accompanying a middle-aged monk, although he belonged to the same prefecture-level cultivation, but this envoy from the "head country" of Heishuimen, Wei, the pressure on Qiu Baisi along the way was not consistent with his cultivation.

Known as the "senior brother" of the middle-aged monk five short figures, some of the fat, gray hair is short and sparse, small eyes are full of essence, he is not only the envoy sent by the lord of Wei, not only wears many positions, and the family also occupies five counties, for the black water gate, this kind of turtle, he is not to see, but Qiu Baisi sent her a team of singers is still good, good looks and talents, even scratched his itch, so he does not often hold the "envoy of the kingdom" along the way, and Qiu Baisi "talk very happily".

"What are you afraid of, I got the news, the people from the Li Sect and the Imperial Wind Sect have arrived, and with them, this will not be finished for a while. ”

The hoarse voice of the monk surnamed Gao was not beautiful in his ears, but Qiu Baisi did not dare to slack off, and could only hope that the unprovoked lord in front of him had recently controlled his desires a little, and could help him solve the problem of the Seven Alliances peace talks before the novelty of those singers disappeared.

Although he doesn't know what Wei means to support him, he should not change his support, over the years, he has been cautious and has hidden his ambitions well, no matter from which point of view, he is a "good dog" that meets the standards.

The problem is the level of support.

The strength determines what he can gain at the peace talks, and what he will lose at the same time, as an extraterritorial sect of the Seven Alliances, he was rashly invited, he refused at first, and even was skeptical, but after learning the news that the Asayama Sect would also come to the venue, he realized that this was not a very bad opportunity.

As a vassal sect of the Wei State, Qiu Baisi has the right understanding, knows what things need to be asked, what things should be hidden, such as participating in the Seven Alliances peace talks, such a major event, must be consulted by the peak, after waiting for a long time, Wei sent the monk in front of him to walk with him, all the way to the mountains and rivers, without any sense of urgency, seeing that the day of the peace talks of the Seven Alliances has arrived, so he has no choice but to ask.

"Would you like to let your Black Water Gate join the Seven Alliances?"

"This-"

Qiu Baisi didn't expect the school examination to come so suddenly, he didn't think about this problem, it is naturally good to be able to get closer to the Seven Alliances, at least one more way to exchange for cultivation resources, over the years, adhering to the concept of Lord Wei's "Ping Fan Demon Clan", he has maintained a distance from the various sects of the Demon Clan, and even the Terran sects in the Seven Alliances, and only in the extremely secret links, he has maintained a connection with the Chixia Sect. If you want to say that this matter is known to Lord Wei, he doesn't believe it, but the people involved are allied with the blood curse.

This matter depends on how the Lord thinks about it, and what the Lord means is our direction. He casually expressed his loyalty, as casually as eating, and this kind of thing could not be too little done over the years.

"Huh-"

A contempt sounded in the nostrils of the monk surnamed Gao, and his small eyes swept up and down Qiu Baisi's body, "The Lord is not here, what I asked is what you mean." ”

Can't hide from it?

Qiu Baisi said secretly, but he hesitated like clouds and rain in his heart, but he knew that when he encountered this situation, he should resolutely express his position as soon as possible, otherwise he would have a ghost in his heart.

"My lord said and laughed, what idea can I have, if I can make more money, I am willing, Heishuimen is so poor, you have seen it, but it still depends on the thoughts of the Lord, we cultivators, it is also good to be poor and happy......"

"What a happy one, think about it carefully, why did the Lord send me?" he leaned back, stood up with the rebound of the rattan chair, and disappeared in front of Qiu Baisi in a blink of an eye, and soon, in the room in the second half of the dragon boat, there was once again the sound of silk bamboo blowing bombs and the laughter of the maids.

Why did you send him here?

Qiu Baisi was a little puzzled, and while helping to operate the flying boat, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have caught some clues. It is said that the several cities to which the monk family surnamed Gao belonged are located in the southeast of Heishuimen, on the verge of Chitiao Bay, and it seems that they are not far from the coast.

And on the other side of the sea is the rich Tianyuan Nanlu.

............

Deep in the Rim of the Tempest.

A relatively intact body was thrown aside at random, and on its left and right, in addition to a small pool of blood that had not yet seeped into the soil, there were also strange stripes and still some shiny formation remains.

"He really didn't know anything about the ruins, or maybe he didn't know about them. A man who had hidden himself in the shadows explained, wearing a wide gray robe that did not match his figure, and a black orb in his hand that shimmered with a faint light.

"So there's no way he'll get the map?"

"That's right, otherwise he would know a little bit even if he didn't know the details. ”

"That is to say, the map may be in the hands of the Hanshan Sect or the Luoying Sect. There are only three ancient demons recorded in the history of the Seven Alliances, the Heavenly Thunder Thief of Lingyun Mountain, the Ice Desolate Snow Girl of the Cold Mountain Cold Cave, and the Giant Shield Mussel Spirit of Luoyingmen Creek Lake, before that person fell, it was only possible to have contact with the three of them, and their remains fell into the hands of Qi Fanyi, Tuoba Tu and Tu Shan respectively. Now ......."

"Tuoba Tu died in a duel with someone, and it is said that it fell into the hands of the Imperial Wind Sect. One of the messengers next to him replied.

"Tu Shan is not easy to deal with, and he is not of the same magnitude as Qi Fanyi. The gray-robed man reminded him with a seemingly kind remind, and he turned his head to look at the thin man, the faint light reflected by the spirit stone on the wall, reflecting on his face hidden in the hood, revealing hideous patches of red spots, like traces of fire.

"Hehehe," the thin man let out a oozing laugh, "it doesn't matter, tell me that person's weakness first, and even without a map, we can roughly find the entrance." ”

"The price you gave is not enough to ask two questions. The gray-robed man said calmly, "Although we are old acquaintances, we also have to talk about rules." ”

"What, you can't trust the spirit cage?" The ground-level aura on the thin man's body suddenly rose, and in all corners of the tunnel, several originally hidden figures appeared from the shadows.
