Chu Wenyin was a little more haggard than what she had seen before, which showed that after the death of the patriarch Chu Anlan, it was a huge loss and impact for every member of the Chu family. Chu Yiming can be said to be the only exception, of course, fundamentally speaking, because he was not originally from the Chu family.

However, she seems to be extremely strong, and she carefully covers it all up with a slightly heavy makeup, but it is not bright, it can only be regarded as ordinary.

"Master Jiang, thank you for saving Xiao Mingbao. ”

"Where, it happened to be the right means, and I remembered that Ming Bao was ill, but fortunately, the attempt was successful, which can be regarded as his creation. Jiang Feng said politely, Chu Wenyin said this, it can be seen that Xiao Mingzhen has completely pushed all the credit to Jiang Feng alone in accordance with what she agreed with Jiang Feng before.

"If you have any requirements, you might as well listen to them, but if I can do it, I will do my best. She took a bright silver ring from the maid's hand and handed it to Jiang Feng, "This is twenty third-order, a small gift, I hope you will accept it." The Chu family is now in an eventful time, I hope you can understand, don't be too little. ”

"This ......" Jiang Feng had the heart to refuse, although he was short of money, so much so that he borrowed two spirit stones in a row, but he was even more worried that accepting these thank-you gifts would affect his request.

"It's not about your requirements. ”

Chu Wenyin smiled slightly, and added this sentence "in time", which made Jiang Feng's heart settle down a lot, so he stopped being hypocritical and put the ring in his pocket, "Then I will be disrespectful, I do have a favor, I hope you can help one or two." The Assayama sect is poor and weak, and has always lacked a colleague with high morality and quick thinking who can take on the position of Mongolian teaching. I heard that Daoist friends are very good at this way, I don't know if I can bend down and help the juniors of the Asayama Sect?"

"It turned out to be this. Daoyou saved Ming Bao, originally I shouldn't have refused, however, the situation of the Chu family, you are familiar with Yi Ming, you should know roughly, therefore, it is really difficult for me to withdraw and focus on this matter, if the two places go back and forth, I am afraid that I will also miss the future of the young man in the Daoyou Sect. ”

"However, speaking of which, I have a suitable person who has recommended a lot more than me in terms of enlightenment. It can be introduced to the head of Jiang. ”

"Oh?"

Chu Wenyin rejected herself, Jiang Feng had already been mentally prepared, after all, after Chu Anlan's death, there was only Chu Yilin as a prefecture-level monk, and he couldn't take care of the existing spiritual land management responsibilities at all, so he could only rely on Chu Yiming, Chu Wenyin and several other Xuan-level clansmen, so Chu Wenyin's attitude was reasonable, but she was willing to introduce a more reliable Mengjiao to herself, why?

Is it really kind?

Since the other party talked about it, he really needed it, Jiang Feng thanked Chu Wenyin in advance, hoping that he would introduce this person to him as soon as possible, Chu Wenyin just smiled and said that he was not in a hurry, and he could get acquainted at the dinner.

It seems that this monk is still a person who often interacts with the Chu family, and Chu Yiming should also know, but Chu Wenyin did not mention his name, and Jiang Feng was inconvenient to ask more, so he could only wait for the dinner to arrive with peace of mind.

Chixia Gate, Wenqu Town, the helm of Changning Chamber of Commerce.

President Dou Jinfan and his brother Dou Jinqiu, as well as several important elders under his command, discussed the relevant matters of the Chamber of Commerce recently, and the meeting was very efficient, and several problems were solved one after another, until a thorny problem was encountered.

"Around Lelin City, the operation of our Chamber of Commerce has been interfered by unknown forces, and many shops that purchase goods from our Chamber of Commerce have encountered a lot of trouble, and they thought it was just an exception, or the shopkeeper himself caused some grievances, until recently, we found that they were all related to the 'Quanfu Chamber of Commerce'. A white-faced, beardless red-robed elder reported, he looked around, "I found someone to investigate carefully, this Quanfu Chamber of Commerce, behind it is Su Ji'er, the sixth daughter of Su Liqing of the Jincheng Sect. ”

"Our scope of business is indeed in conflict with theirs. Another elder with frosty temples said indignantly, "Whether it is in terms of price or quality, we are much better than our opponents, and they have no way to confront us head-on, so they have used some indiscriminate means, and several of our old friends have had to withdraw from the Lelin City area." ”

"Isn't Lelin City Leng Tingtao's territory?" President Dou Jinfan was not ignorant, and he still knew the situation of several important cities of the Jincheng faction.

"Our people have been in contact with his subordinate Li Rulin, and the reply they have received is that they do not want to help us solve this matter now. ”

"That's natural, the Li Rulin family has its own chamber of commerce, and the scale is not small, but there is no such figure as the president of the chamber of commerce. The previous red-robed old man added, "If we fight with the Quanfu Chamber of Commerce, they will only reap the benefits." ”

"What should I do then?" With another question, everyone looked at President Dou Jinfan.

"Jinqiu, tell me, what do you think?" Dou Jinfan picked up the spiritual tea unhurriedly and tasted it for a while before throwing the burden to his own brother.

"Involving the family of the head of Su, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to operate, or let's find someone in the middle and mediate in the middle, after all, harmony makes money, everyone just needs to draw a line, is it okay?" Dou Jinqiu didn't have any opinions on this kind of dispute in his heart, the business idea of this chamber of commerce has always been in charge of the eldest brother Dou Jinfan, and the idea he put forward was just from the perspective of the monk's fighting method, the dispute was not resolved, and he was unwilling to fight, so he found someone to say that he had reconciled, which was a very common thing, as for whether it was applicable to the current situation, he didn't know.

When several elders heard this, their faces were a little dark. If peace could be negotiated, peace would have been negotiated a long time ago, Quanfu Chamber of Commerce and Changning Chamber of Commerce, since they have been in this field for many years, how can they not know the rules of the rivers and lakes, between the two, there have been some small-scale cooperation, but this time, the other party clearly rejected their own request for negotiation, which shows that they have settled on themselves. Find someone to make peace with, unless you find Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng faction, it is difficult to solve it, I have to say that the second brother of the president is still a little naïve, but fortunately, he rarely interferes in the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and only occasionally does auxiliary work.

"Just according to what Jinqiu said, find a middle-aged person, since our Chamber of Commerce was introduced to the Jincheng faction by Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect, let's find the head of Jiang, this, Jinqiu, you go for a trip in person. ”

What is puzzling is that President Dou Jinfan actually agreed to this ridiculous decision, and several elders were confused, but following the president's decision is their usual rule, presumably the president has his reason, and several people sighed in their hearts, no longer pursuing this matter, and turned to other issues.

It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Dou Jinfan left Dou Jinqiu alone and played a soundproof note.

"Do you know why I asked you to find that Jiang Feng?"

"I really don't know. Dou Jinqiu said frankly that the word honesty is not guilty in front of his brother.

"Because there is no suitable candidate. Dou Jinfan's words made Dou Jinqiu taken aback, "The Quanfu Guild has become more and more arrogant recently, there is no room for peace at all, we have no business in Shuanglong City, but listening to the people of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, the situation encountered is probably the same as ours, and it has been suppressed by the Quanfu Chamber of Commerce recently, and even blatantly provoked to destroy the order of Shuanglong City." Based on this, I suspect that this Quanfu Chamber of Commerce is not only an enemy of us because of business, but also has other goals. ”

"Other goals?" Dou Jinqiu really couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe it's Leng Tingtao, and Zuo Zicicada. Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng faction, may be testing the two, judging from my years of business experience, this is probably the case, we are just scapegoats, a conspicuous obstacle in front of us, and the most obvious contrast is that our business in Tianyou City has not been affected. ”

"Then what should I do?" It is also very miserable to be used as a scapegoat, Dou Jinqiu understands this truth.

"Find someone to make peace, drag it out, take us out, and at the same time stimulate the two real opponents to fight early. If it is really as I expected, this Jincheng faction may be in chaos, of course, if Su Liqing is willing to really take a step back, maybe things will take a turn for the better, in short, now is the time to send materials, and it may not be a bad thing to reduce some shipments. ”

"You will set off tomorrow and go to Luochuan to wait for Jiang Feng. Whether he has the confidence to help us or not, we will strive to let him meet Su Liqing, at this juncture, Su Liqing should be soberly aware that we are also a force that should not be underestimated. At this point, I am confident enough that the Fulou Chamber of Commerce will stand with us. ”

Lizong, Zhenwu City, Chu Mansion.

Jiang Feng finally waited for the dinner to start, originally thinking that there was only the Chu family, but after all the guests were seated, Jiang Feng realized that his idea was wrong.

The banquet is a small banquet, with only eight tables, and each table has the appearance of seven or eight people. Obviously, this dinner party was not set up for himself alone, but in terms of seating, Jiang Feng was still one of the important guests.

Sitting next to the head Chu Yilin was Ding Ruoqian, the city lord of Zhenwu City, who was cultivated at the beginning of the prefecture level, not a member of the five major families of Lizong, but from the vicinity of Lizhou City in the north, judging from the trace of pride implied in his smile, after Lizong occupied the hometown of Yufeng Sect in the north of Lizhou City, his small family seemed to have benefited a lot.

Ding Ruoqian on both sides, is the head of the local family Zhou family and the Liu family, the former is the first to enter the prefecture level, the latter is the Xuan level consummation, both are not young, the former is kind and gentle, the latter is cautious and calm, the two did not come alone, but with a few juniors, all sat in other seats, presumably this dinner party as a stage for friendship with other local forces.

Jiang Feng's location is close to the head of the Liu family, and his position is opposite to the deacon of the outer gate of the Li Sect who passed by here today, the prefecture-level monk Tang Ruoliang, from the introduction of Chu Yiming beside him, it can be seen that the other party has some in-laws with the Chu family that are not too estranged.

The guests who sat down under Jiang Feng were the patriarchs of the various vassal families of the Chu family, and the chief and second seats of the other tables were also of this status, two of them were at the prefecture level, and the rest were all at the Xuan level, it can be seen that today's banquet mainly gathered the core figures of the Chu family's forces near Zhenwu City, although I don't know what Chu Anlan's situation was during his lifetime, but judging from the number of prefecture-level monks, the momentum of the Chu family is not as good as before, at least, there is not a single monk in the middle of the prefecture-level, and at the same time, except for Tang Ruoliang, there are no monks from Dongji City。 If the current head of the Chu family, Chu Yilin, can't be promoted to a higher realm as soon as possible, this situation may be even worse in the future.

However, everyone who can arrive today is still very face-saving for Chu Yi, and his toast has also won everyone's applause from time to time, Jiang Feng observed the people on his seat with his spare eyes, except for Ding Ruoqian, the city lord of Zhenwu City, the demeanor of the others seems to be quite pertinent, of course, whether his eyesight is reliable or not is still unknown.

Jiang Feng also took this opportunity to meet some characters of Zhenwu City, in the case of the first acquaintance, everyone was quite friendly to their little master, for the behemoth of Lizong, the Qianshan Sect was nothing, but for everyone present, the status of the head was still superior, so after taking turns to toast the master, when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Jiang Feng did not drink less, and couldn't help but feel a little drunk.

Liu Xiqing, the head of the Liu family, was close to Jiang Feng, so he naturally talked about it the most, and he was also the only one who said that he had the opportunity to send the children of the family to the monks of the Qianshan Sect to develop.

After three rounds of drinking, Chu Wenyin brought a white-clothed showman over, this person had a square face and thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a soft and smiling complexion, giving people a feeling of disobedience.

"Master Jiang, let me introduce, this is Si Guanghao, the monk I want to introduce to you. ”

"Hello, fortunately!" Jiang Feng stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and the slightly drunk feeling made his body shake slightly, but a burst of spiritual power in his body suppressed this feeling again.

"Master Jiang, I'm glad to meet you. Si Guanghao stretched out his thick red right hand, held it with Jiang Feng, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and he raised his thick eyebrows and turned them into two small curved bows.

Jiang Feng felt the abnormality of the power in his hand, and was about to get out, but he heard Si Guanghao say, "Master Jiang, our Si Guanghao is a very dedicated person, Wen Yin Daoyou asked me to go east, I naturally went east, let me go west, I naturally went west." He turned his head to look at Chu Wenyin, whose face was slightly angry and ruddy because of this, and smiled again, "However, since it is for the Taoist Sect, there must always be a saying, let me be convinced, it is better to fight the Fa, as long as you defeat me, I will naturally be taught for the Qianshan Sect, and there will be no charge for the first three years." ”

"Si Guanghao!" Chu Wenyin's voice was three points higher, and he warned him, "Don't mess around!"

"Hey, what's the matter, on this beautiful day, I am fighting with Master Jiang, and it can be regarded as cheering everyone up, why not? Isn't it, Master Jiang?" Si Guanghao's voice was three points louder, and even the monk sitting in the distance heard his words.

What's the situation?

Jiang Feng woke up when he was drunk, and he still had to fight? Although this Si Guanghao was a Xuan-level mid-stage monk, he dared to invite himself in the court, and he must also be a middle master.

The question is, is this his own business, or is it Chu Wenyin's deliberate arrangement? Previously, Chu Wenyin declined her invitation and instead recommended Si Guanghao as a candidate for the Mongolian Sect, and deduced that this person was far superior to herself in terms of the ability to be taught by the Sect, so she should know a little bit about Si Guanghao, even if she was not familiar with it. Now, this Si Guanghao openly applied for a duel to himself on this occasion, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

However, her demeanor, this scene, doesn't seem like her arrangement?

When Chu Yiming heard this, he immediately stood up, "Master Jiang is today's guest, everyone is gathering today, a group of harmony, I'm afraid the fighting method is not appropriate, right?" His voice was slightly stern, he looked at Chu Wenyin, and then looked at Chu Yilin behind him, he didn't know if today's matter was deliberately arranged, or if it was just in time.

"It's really not suitable, everyone sits, all sit, Master Jiang is a friend of my sixth brother, everyone may not be familiar with it, the Assayama Sect has always been peaceful, kind to others, and rarely fights with other sects, although Si Daoyou is similar to Jiang Zhangmen's cultivation, and he also likes to learn, but today is really not suitable, you might as well change it to another day, how about it?"

Chu Yilin took two steps forward and persuaded loudly, but between the words, he put the Qianshan Sect on the weak side, and it was obvious that he did not cancel this fighting method, but delayed until he finalized the matter until the next day, what did it mean? Could it be that the invitation behind this was planned by Chu Yilin?

"Master Jiang, do you see?" Si Guanghao dodged Chu Wenyin's angry gaze and looked at Jiang Feng again.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, come and come, there are all the predecessors and Taoist friends to witness, today you and I have a fight, point to the end, but then again, five years of free teaching, how about it?"

Jiang Feng smiled, came out of the banquet, and walked to the half-foot-high platform, only then did he realize that this high platform, which originally looked a little abrupt, seemed to be set up for himself.
