"Master Jiang is really a rare guest. "Huanglong City, the head of the inner mansion, Jiang Feng saw the owner of this place, Zuo Zicicada, after handing over the name of the visit one step earlier.

After a few greetings, the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Canran and Song Weiduo were not present, only the new foreign affairs elder of Huanglongmen, Lian Qingping, was listed, it is said that this person is the same as many other elders in the door, and Zuo Zician is an in-law, which is also the consistent style of Huanglongmen, from this point of view, Liu Canran and Song Weiduo want to enter the power core of Huanglongmen, it will still take time.

"I don't know why Master Jiang visited this sect?" Zuo Zichan, as always, quickly went straight to the topic, his attitude today was a little light, and he seemed to be displeased.

"A few days ago, I was invited by Wan Feiran, the head of the North Sword Gate, to go to Xigu City as a guest, and I passed by the treasure land on the way back, and I haven't visited yet, so I came to bother. Jiang Feng used the excuse he had thought of, if it weren't for Mu Qingchuan, he wouldn't have come to Huanglongcheng at all, he would only take a detour, after all, although they are allies, Huanglongmen and the Assanyama Sect do not border, and there is no value in coming.

"Well, I'm thinking too much. Zuo Zician smiled reluctantly, "Zuo went to the Red Dragon Gate a few days ago, and when I returned, I heard a rather regrettable thing, several monks in your sect were attacked, including one of Brother Jiang's concubines, speaking of which, it was actually related to our sect's monk Liu Sijiang, and he also submitted a petition for guilt, hoping that I could mediate in the middle to resolve the misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Feng frowned, he didn't expect that Liu Sijiang had made arrangements in advance, but this might be Zuo Zichan's excuse, after all, he couldn't personally inspect it, so he said calmly: "Zuo Zhang's words are wrong, if it really has something to do with him, this can't be simply called a misunderstanding, right?" Speaking of which, Liu Sijiang and I can be called a brother-in-law friendship, and now we are in the same Jincheng League, the crime of attacking and killing my colleagues and relatives can be regarded as a first-class crime, right?"

"There is nothing wrong with that, but the so-called 'it is better to settle the grievances than to tie the knot', is just a bed-warming concubine, why should the head of Jiang care?" The smile on Zuo Zi Chan's face disappeared suddenly, "It is said that Liu Sijiang went out a few days ago and has not returned, I don't know if it has anything to do with the head of Jiang?"

"Oh, what day is it?"

"The third day of the first month. ”

"On that day, weren't you and I in the Qingyu Sect?" Jiang Feng had his own alibi evidence, which he had deliberately arranged a long time ago.

"This kind of thing, naturally, will not bother the head of Jiang to make a move. "Zuo Zicicada's meaning is self-explanatory.

"It's wrong, if it weren't for the face of the alliance, I would have taken action in person, and I could slash the enemy, which is also a happy life, but it's a pity, for the sake of everyone's alliance, I can only endure it. Jiang Feng stood up suddenly, "Since Liu Sijiang is a monk of your sect, I think I should give me an explanation, it is you the left master, right?"

"Is the head of the Emotional Jiang here to ask for the crime today?" Zuo Zician snorted coldly, "He is dead, at least for now, there is no news." I think that Master Jiang will definitely not be able to get rid of this matter!"

"There is no evidence, the left head should not spew blood. "Regarding Liu Sijiang's matter, Jiang Feng has already dealt with the beginning and end, so naturally he is not worried about Zuo Zichan's investigation.

"Whether it is fair or not, I will naturally present it to the alliance for discussion. As for the evidence, if no one knows it, he will not do it unless he has done it. Zuo Zician said, "Master Jiang, in the same alliance, I advise you, don't lose an inch for personal enmity, and work together to move forward, otherwise there will be no peace." ”

"Boss Zuo, are you threatening me?"

"If Master Jiang has nothing to do with this matter, it should be Zuo's emotion. After finishing speaking, Zuo Zicicada high-fived, and Lian Qingping, the foreign affairs elder beside him, shouted a low "send-off", Jiang Feng didn't mind, he pulled his legs and left, he knew that today's gathering would only be unhappy, but now it seems that it is similar to his imagination.

However, one in and one out, the time of entanglement should be enough for Mu Qingchuan to use, Jiang Feng went out, directly took up the "flying boat against the wind", turned to the northwest, went straight to the boundary of Lelinmen, and bypassed Lelin City, entered from Tuqiao Town, and then waited here with peace of mind, until half a day later, he waited for the belated Yingge.

"Then Mu Qingchuan didn't follow?"

"She told me to go first. Yingge changed back to the appearance of a black boy, in Huanglongmen, he used the appearance of a monk from Lelinmen, and when he arrived at Lelinmen, he did the opposite, plus Jiang Feng told him in advance to act in a low-key manner, hiding his cultivation along the way, and no one interrogated him along the way.

Mu Qingchuan didn't go with him, Jiang Feng was not surprised, since she had already rejected her offer, then as a casual cultivator, where to go was her freedom. So he returned with Yingge, entered Luochuan at night, and had not yet sat down in the inner mansion of the head of the house, but waited for Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs.

"Boss, urgent report!"

What kind of urgent report, Jiang Feng looked at it, but it was forwarded by Qing Yuzong, the letter of inquiry sent by Tianyin Temple, and after a closer look, his forehead couldn't help but ooze fine cold sweat.

The content of the interrogation is brief, but it says that a few days ago, the three monks of Tianyin Temple, Yuan Jin, Jindan Faye, and Hongzhi were missing, and there was evidence that the three had visited Jincheng League, and they were limited to three days to reply.

The wording is not harsh, it sounds like a cross between "inquiry" and "accusation", but the question is, isn't Hirochi in his hands now? More importantly, what evidence do they have? Could it be that the black whale acted before and was caught by the tail?

dismissed the worried Wu Quanzhong, and told him not to care, he should just ask Yunyun routinely, and after he left, he quickly called Yingge, went out of the inner mansion of the head of the house, traveled all the way south, stayed in a secluded place, and threw out the black whale.

"You are being tracked by Hongzhi, can anyone pay attention?"

"I don't know this, at that time, I ate the death row prisoner, which attracted the attention of seven or eight monks, but in the end he was the only one who caught up with me. Moreover, before entering the Asayama Sect, I threw off the other pursuers. How's that, as long as I'm full, I'm still good. The black whale flicked his tail and said.

Not a bad ghost, except for eating, you know to get me into trouble!

In this way, there should be no direct witness in Tianyin Temple, who can confirm that I caught Hongzhi, Jiang Feng deduced from this, but in case it is the result of divination, it is a troublesome matter, thinking of this, he quickly collected the black whale, and went straight to Chumen Town with Yingge.

Chixia Gate, Radiant City.

In the secret room of the inner mansion of the head of the house, there are only three people. Zeng Baoxian, the head of the house, and Zeng Baojun, who has nothing to do and never wants to be suspended for a long time, and Dugu, who stands on the side, Zeng Baoxian's most trusted person.

"Tianlimen actually wants to move Dongquan Mountain. It's just that they still can't go east into the sea, and they will annoy the Qi Kingdom, no matter how you look at it, it's really unwise. Zeng Baoxian sketched on the map of Beilu in front of him, and for a while he didn't think clearly about the reason why Tianlimen acted like this.

"Could it be a feint, but in fact it is not here?" Dugu analyzed, compared to Zeng Baojun, who was unwilling to pay attention to these "general affairs", he was a think tank that Zeng Baoxian often came to handy.

"Are you actually targeting us?" Zeng Baoxian tapped his fingers on the table, looked up at his brother Zeng Baojun, and found that he was still not interested.

"We have to guard against it. The information from the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce cannot be taken seriously. They cooperated much more closely with the Jincheng League than we did, but we happened to block the trade route to the south, so we had to be kind to us. Dugu continued to analyze, "Although there is a resistance from the Ying Gate, in fact, the territory is too small, and once the army is pressed, it must be broken." ”

"There is no way that Qi can allow that to happen. Dongquan Mountain may give up, after all, they are not the pawns of the Qi State, they are just covered by some ancestral shadows, and they are still breathing. Zeng Baoxian naturally knew that the territory was narrow, and the puppet of Luoyingmen without depth was unreliable, but he still thought that once there was a war, the Qi State would definitely take action, after all, he had Dongquan Mountain, and if he wanted to go east to the sea, he could only ask for it with the Qi State, and to the north, there were 100,000 mountains to obstruct it, even if he got the coastal area, because the cold winter was too long every year, the harbor was frozen for a long time, and it was not suitable to go to sea.

"If Tianlimen really goes south, how should we deal with it?" Zeng Baojun, who had been silent, suddenly interjected and asked.

"That's against the previous agreement. Zeng Baoxian remembered the agreement signed with Qi State and Tianli Sect last year, and immediately realized that the agreement was very broad and could not be regarded as a security guarantee, so he glanced at it on the map, "Frankly speaking, the agreement is not reliable, but I can fight for it from the Imperial Wind Sect, after all, all the families around the Chaotic Stone Sea do not want to see a stronger Tianli Gate." ”

"The same is true of the encroachment on Dongquan Mountain. Zeng Baojun took Zeng Baoxian's brush and drew a circle on the Vantage Gate, "But with the Vantage Gate, things are simple." The Imperial Wind Sect had no chance to oppose it at all. ”

"But what is the use of Huadi Gate taking Dongquan Mountain? Why do they need a piece of land that needs to cross the chaotic stone sea to be connected?" Dugu couldn't tell the difference, and couldn't help but ask on the side, in his opinion, Dongquan Mountain does have a good spiritual land, but there is only one, and there are no other commendable resources, if it is not from here, it can be along the narrow plain area, east along the southern foot of the 100,000 Great Mountain, all the way to the east into the sea, this place is worthless for Tianlimen, which does not lack spiritual land.

"Because here. Zeng Baojun pointed to a place called "Panlong Pass" on the northern border of Dongquan Mountain, "Through here, you can reach the most densely populated place in the Northern Wilderness, the Wangnan Valley." ”

"You mean that Vantage Gate is in the Northern Wilderness?"

"I'm not convinced either. Zeng Baojun threw away the brush, "Only this is reasonable." Of course, there are also concerns about going south. In other words, if the Qi State did not intervene, Tianlimen would have the ability to fight on two fronts. ”

"Dugu, prepare to go south according to Tianlimen," Zeng Baoxian thought for a long time, "I didn't expect to snatch food from Tianlimen, and in the end it would be a never-ending day." ”

"No, to be precise, it should be a causal cycle. Zeng Baojun smiled heartlessly, "I heard that Tianyin Temple has lost a few monks and is asking for it from the Jincheng League." These seven alliances seem to be chaotic again. ”

"What are you laughing at!" the corners of Zeng Baoxian's mouth twitched, "Discussing big things, you don't have a solemn appearance, take a trip to the Imperial Wind Sect for me." ”

"Why me again? I knew I wouldn't speak. ”

"Elder Huang Yanjie has recently felt in his heart that he has reached the consummation of the Xuan level, and he has the opportunity to break through the Xuan level and advance to the ground level, so I want to stay and protect the Fa. ”

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

Tianyin Temple, the city of immeasurables.

Yuanying Tongguang and the new Yuanying Gongye Kai had just sent off the guests from Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen, the two looked at each other, did not say a word, and were about to leave, but were stopped by the head Chen Fahe.

"Two seniors, let's discuss. ”

As the head of Tianyin Temple, Jindan Sevenfold Chen Fa He Chunqiu is prosperous, the qualification is also first-class in the sect, and is regarded as the star of hope of the sect, so after the three sects were divided, he was elected as the head, but the suffering, he has no one to confide in, because he is not the highest cultivator in the sect, in addition to the three elders with far-reaching qualifications, there is also Yuanying Tongguang to protect the Dharma, control the important affairs of the sect, now, among the three elders, Gongye Kai is newly promoted to Yuanying, the situation is more complicated, for a while, he is difficult to balance the forces of all parties, and has to agree to the proposal of the four courtsThe initiative of "re-selecting the protector of the sect based on the results of the meeting".

Now, the House of Mercy and Grace won, followed by the Chengguan Yuan, therefore, the new protector is elected by the two houses, but the former supports Gongye Kai, the latter supports Tongguang, the two sides do not back down from each other, stalemate, but let the head Chen Fa in the middle of the difficult to do, originally, the Nanshan Yuan who supported Tongguang won the first place without suspense, but the chief debater Yuan Zhen was nowhere to be found in advance, so that he failed to win, so as to cause today's anxious situation.

Regarding the disappearance of the three debaters, Tongguang and Gongye Kai also had different attitudes.

Tongguang said that there was no need for a thorough investigation, the human and material evidence was there, and he directly used force to attack the suspected Jincheng League, while Gongye Kai believed that everything needed to be discussed with the alliance Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen, and peace was precious, and he only needed to force the Jincheng League to hand over people and cut the land to apologize.

"I only ask you, if you don't make a move, how can the Jincheng Alliance give in?" Tongguang's anger did not subside, "You are also present, Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluo Men Ming said that they will not make a move." ”

"Hong Daoyou of Jinguang Pavilion, didn't you say that once there is a change, you will mediate in the middle?" Gong Yekai defended, "What's more, are you the opponent of Wan Yu Pavilion?"

"Such old things, why do you need to mention them again, the battle of the sect, I don't care about my strength alone, not to mention, isn't there still Brother Gongye? Could it be that you are afraid of him, or do you not care about the lives of the three fellow sects?"

"Yuan Zhen is my closed disciple, I just don't want to be misled and drag the sect into a quagmire. Gongye Kai flicked his sleeves, "Isn't the attitude of Jinguang Pavilion and Tianluomen today just to show this, I'm afraid that if we start a war with the Jincheng Alliance on the front foot, the latter will take the opportunity to make trouble and swallow our territory." I don't believe any kind of lies! Otherwise, why don't we know about Lizong's plan before? Or in other words, you know the same light, but you don't want to share it with the same sect?"

"Why did you get involved with this again?" Tongguang took a step forward and argued, the key is that this matter has been settled in the sect, but it has been brought up again by Gongye Kai.

"Alright, alright, two seniors. The head Chen Fahe hurriedly stood between the two who were getting closer and closer, "No matter what, you have to make a charter." You can't just send a letter of inquiry and wait for three days to do nothing, right?

"First call order!" Tong Guang said, "Whether it is war or peace, you must always rely on strength to speak!"

"I'm against it, my people won't go to war!"

"What do you call your people?" Tong Guang Deng grabbed the other party's sore feet, "Master, isn't this kind of self-reliant behavior a violation of the sect's prohibition?"

"Hey, alright, alright, two, listen to me, listen to me. Chen Fahe laughed with both sides, "It's better to summon the warriors in the sect first, and gather all of them in the three northeastern cities, as for the rest, how about waiting for the attitude of the Jincheng Alliance?"

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

Asa Shan Sect, Trumen Town.

Jiang Feng went directly into the inn and dragged out Hongzhi, who was covered with spiritual talismans and unable to use spiritual power.

"Say, why don't you run?"
