Chapter 364: Unleash Kindness
The person who came turned out to be Qiu Nanjia, the left envoy of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce.
Based on Jiang Feng's understanding, the Chu family and the Linglong Chamber of Commerce should have little intersection, which is different from the Yu family, which has a lot of business in various sects, and Qiu Nanjia can come here for a banquet, presumably because of the relationship between the Shangguan family.
"Qiu Daoyou is well!" Although the banquet was already halfway through at this time, there was still an endless stream of passers-by, so Jiang Feng did not call the other party by the name of "Qiu Zuo Envoy", although he had a lot of complaints and even jealousy about his previous act of house arrest, Jiang Feng still said hello with a pleasant face.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Maintaining the smile on his face, Jiang Feng leaned closer and whispered.
"You're welcome. "They are all people who understand, even if Qiu Nanjia is very unhappy about Jiang Feng's escape, but he can't make a move on this occasion, "Master Jiang's connections here are good, and his means of getting out are also very superb, but I am impressed." β
"Each other, each other. Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't reveal his hole cards, saying that he was not familiar with the Flying Bear Army at all, let alone revealing the details of his escape, originally, he was still thinking about how to resolve the dispute between himself and the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, after all, the stalemate was there, and it was an extremely unstable factor for his own safety and the future of the Asa Mountain Sect.
At first glance, Qiu Nanjia wanted to put himself under house arrest and tempt the elders of the Assayama Sect to submit to it with generous conditions, but he strongly opposed it because he was worried that the Asayama Sect would be confined by the other party, and the contradictions between the two parties were completely irreconcilable, but after Jiang Feng left the "Harmony Residence", he also carefully sorted out the various joints in it, and found the key that might ease the relationship.
The key to this is Qiu Nanjia.
Although she didn't know the details, the agreement reached by the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce with Jincheng League and other sects obviously had nothing to do with Qiu Nanjia, and it seriously shook her position in the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, so she suddenly made up her mind to take action against the Asa Mountain Sect in order to win back a game in the Chamber of Commerce. From this point of view, there are some intentions to kill chickens and take eggs and pick green fruits in advance, and, judging from Lu Changyin's participation in this matter, most of the Vantage Gate is among them, that is to say, this itself is also a way of doing things recognized by some people in Vantage.
"Let's make peace. Jiang Feng decided to get straight to the point.
"How do you talk about peace?" Qiu Nanjia turned sideways, pretending to talk casually, so as not to attract the special attention of others, in fact, she was dressed exquisitely, coupled with her outstanding appearance, she did attract a lot of attention from Zuo Jin, if it weren't for her cold attitude and high cultivation, there would have been a disciple who came to talk. Although her posture seemed casual, Jiang Feng, who was up close, caught a glimpse of the solemn taste in her eyes.
"The plan of exploration remains the same, and you don't want to force me to accept those conditions. Jiang Feng felt that this matter was still the key to saving her own crisis for Qiu Nanjia, although this matter was originally in charge of the right envoy Li, but she could take it in her hands, there must be a special reason.
"It's not enough, and there are too many uncertainties. Qiu Nanjia was clearly not satisfied with such concessions.
"You should know that the key to the safety of the Vantage Gate trade route is not in the Asakisha Sect, but in the Jincheng League. β
Jiang Feng pointed out the key to what he realized, the reason why the Huadi Gate supported Qiu Nanjia to act so fiercely was because in the agreement reached between the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce and the eastern sects, their materials, if they want to run smoothly, they need to go through the Chaotic Stone Sea, and then go to the Imperial Wind Sect, Chixia Gate, Jincheng League, and Qingyu Sect, there are too many uncertain factors in this, so they want to lay out a reliable support point among the various sects in the south, and this support point is the Qianshan Sect.
If everything goes well, at least it can be guaranteed that once there is a change in Chixiamen, the trade route of Vantage Gate will still be safe. I have to say that this point is a kind of thoughtful consideration, in the second war of the Seven Alliances, the territory of Chixiamen has expanded a lot, and it is said that it has connected the Qi State, and the right to speak in the territory of the Seven Alliances will also increase.
But apparently this is not the most unreliable part of the route. According to Jiang Feng's guess, the most unsafe thing in this is the Jincheng Alliance, with Jiang Feng's understanding of Su Liqing, its transformation into an alliance, in addition to being forced by the situation, must have its hidden ambitions.
"That's right, you're right, the Jincheng League is. β
To Jiang Feng's surprise, Qiu Nanjia naturally agreed with Jiang Feng's opinion, and said in a word, but she said indifferently and helplessly, "But we don't have anything to do with the Jincheng League." The so-called solution is only considered if it works, otherwise it is just an idea. Isn't it?"
That's right, Jiang Feng, who is often troubled by various solutions, also agrees in his heart. The Jincheng Alliance is not only bigger than the Asa Mountain Sect, but also stronger, and has just reached an agreement with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to rashly have additional ideas about the Jincheng League, from this point of view, although Qiu Nanjia is in a hurry, he still has a bottom line, and he does not want to destroy the agreement that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce has reached with other sects.
"And, the Golden City League has an even bigger ambition. Qiu Nanjia continued, "It is said that Su Liqing is planning a larger Jincheng Alliance, a new alliance that will encompass the Qing Yu Sect and the Biyun Sect. β
What the?
Jiang Feng was suddenly shocked, this information was extremely important, the original suspicion and suspicion of Su Liqing, now it seems that this is it, inadvertently, he has already retreated into advance, and is planning bigger in Enron
circles. If his plan succeeded, wouldn't the Jincheng Alliance become an existence equivalent to a medium-sized sect, and with a wide enough hinterland, a large number of monks, and a well-established harbor?
The plan is great!
This once again refreshed Jiang Feng's perception of Su Liqing. It's just that this plan can really be accomplished? Not to mention the Biyun Sect and the Qing Yu Sect, even within the Jincheng League, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan must also have different intentions with Su Liqing, why did they agree to this plan, just for the sake of business routes and profits?
"What do you think are the chances of success?" Jiang Feng didn't have a clear calculation in his heart, so he asked Qiu Nanjia, the other party was well-informed, and there must be another interpretation.
"It's huge. for it is good for all the sects. Moreover, there is still independence, and the plan proposed by Su Liqing is to unify the management of foreign affairs, monks, and spiritual land as soon as possible, and make decisions on major matters according to the method of one case and one vote, and the rest of the sects still have autonomy in the transfer and use of materials. β
"Maintain relative independence and balance of interests?"
That's what it means. The Qingyu Sect has a good spiritual land, a port, and the rest of the sects have monks, resources, and trade routes that connect with the various sects in the north, which are mutually beneficial. Qiu Nanjia explained, her expression was mixed, such a change was theoretically beneficial to the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, but it was not good for her personally.
Sounds like a perfect solution, but ...... Jiang Feng seemed to feel that there was something wrong, for example, if the cooperation was pleasant, of course, it would be a mutually beneficial and win-win plan, but with time, the materials and monks would still irreversibly flow in one direction, and the final result would be that one or more of the sects would be hollowed out, as for who it was, it was not clear, and if there was one case and one vote, what good would it do to Su Liqing, the initiator of this matter?
"I can promise you a plan for the monk to be stationed, but the rest will be slowed down, because I have a better alternative. Jiang Feng naturally would not agree to the other party's control of the trade routes and store operations of the Asayama Sect, because now he had a plan for the "Xinyuan County", and, theoretically, being too deeply connected with such a large chamber of commerce would be especially detrimental to the Assayama Sect's independence.
"What's the plan?"
"I can't talk about it for now, but I need to be allowed a moment. If this happens, it will be very good for you, especially for you. "If the trade route of Xinyuan County is opened, you can go directly to the Qingyu Sect from the Yufeng Sect, through the Qianshan Sect, for the Huadi Gate who wants to lay out on the trade route and ensure safety, it is equivalent to bypassing the Chixia Gate and the original Jincheng Sect's hometown, or the Biyun Sect, it can be regarded as one more option, of course, it is still not the same as their direct control of the Qianshan Sect, but there are some comparisons.
"How long will it take, and besides, why should I trust you? Without you, maybe the Asagama Sect is easier to control. Qiu Nanjia's eyes burned, and a golden halo flowed in his eyes, as if something was brewing.
"Isn't it better for me to have a prefecture-level person who sits in the Shallow Mountain Sect in the name of righteousness? If the appearance of the Huadi Gate is too ugly, it will be difficult to gain a foothold here from a distance of thousands of miles, right?" In this regard, Jiang Feng was not afraid of the other party's coercion, because from beginning to end, Jiang Feng was quite cooperative with the cooperation with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, and hastily changed an agent, perhaps more obedient, but if the territory of the Asshan Sect became chaotic because of this, the Huadi Gate would definitely not be able to openly enter here, you must know that the Huadi Gate was far away on the northwest shore of the Troubled Stone Sea, and it was still nearly two thousand miles away.
"Within two months at most, you will find out, during which time you will not be able to carry out any of your previous plans. Jiang Feng took a step forward again, and even felt the breath of the other party's face, Qiu Nanjia just wanted to retreat, but saw several monks in the distance who were chatting and laughing at the two who had been talking for a long time, and then realized that he was dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, and it seemed that he had already become the focus of attention of everyone nearby. His heart was like electricity, but he felt that his waist was moved by Jiang Feng, and he got closer to the other party, and at the same time, something seemed to be stuffed into his hand.
"I can't use the soundproofing note here, I'm offended. Hearing Jiang Feng's whispers and warmth in her ears, she didn't look at the things in her hand, she quickly put them into the storage bag, and took half a step back with a ruddy face.
"Jiang Feng, you dare to take advantage of me?"
"Shhhhh What he gave Qiu Nanjia was a "Soul Melting Bead" that he had condensed, if there was no benefit, Qiu Nanjia would definitely not rashly agree to Jiang Feng's delay plan, and the kindness he released before would be useless, this "Soul Melting Bead" was related to the True Spirit Sage, just for Qiu Nanjia to ponder a thing or two and attract her attention.
"On the other hand, I kindly remind you that some people in the Vantage Sect may be more concerned about this matter, and you must be careful in your actions, otherwise, you may be worried about your life. β
"Lu Zhongxian?" Qiu Nanjia's eyes flickered and he announced a name.
"It's good to do it yourself. Jiang Feng can't say much, after all, he doesn't know the stakes and past situation here, he only knows that Lu Zhongxian's identity is similar to his own, and it is likely to be closely related to his own life experience, as well as the fact that the head of the ninth generation let me go to the Troubled Stone Sea, as for the secret, he still can't get a glimpse of the truth.
"Give you a month at most. If you can't give me an explanation, I will go to Luochuan to find you in person. Qiu Nanjia pondered for a moment and gave
"Until then, I promise that I will not take any action, but as for guarding against other risks, it is your own business, I don't have many people now, and I don't have time to pay attention to your safety." β
"It's nature. β
Jiang Feng also didn't want the other party to pay too much attention to his whereabouts, after all, he had a lot of secrets, he didn't want to be exposed, if he wanted to talk about safety, now after being promoted to the prefecture level, he had a lot of self-confidence inexplicably, but this body of erysipelas, there is no way to solve it now, but it is a little troublesome, think about the Ge Ping introduced by Chu Yiming, but he ran to participate in the "Lingyong Feast" first Now, I don't know if there is any other suitable way, with these unpleasantness in the cooperation of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, it is even more impossible for him to turn to Qiu Nanjia for help, including the issue of Xinyuan County, he does not want the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce to participate, and it will be difficult to get rid of it at that time.
However, the information provided by Qiu Nanjia on the "Great Golden City Alliance" is the most important thing, once the alliance is formed, it will be even more difficult for him to get the Black Water Gate Hometown from Su Liqing, thinking of this, he is looking forward to the Yu family's answer more and more.
He was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures, it was Han Li and Xiao Mingshan, who were talented and beautiful, and they were very interconnected, and the other party also caught a glimpse of Qiu Nanjia and Jiang Feng who were standing in one place, slightly closer, Han Li's expression was indifferent, he nodded slightly, and the two disappeared at the end of the porch, which was the only way to the outside of the mansion.
How did they leave one step earlier?
Jiang Feng was very strange in his heart, it stands to reason that if he wants to take this opportunity to accumulate contacts, staying here more is the king's way, if it weren't for Xiao Mingzhen having an appointment with him, Jiang Feng would have let go of his identity and deliberately make friends with everyone here, after all, no one has too many connections, but right now, it seems that the agreed moment is not far away.
Seeing Qiu Nanjia leave, Jiang Feng walked around the courtyard a few times at random, to ensure that no one paid too much attention to him, so he took the opportunity to urinate and change his robe, and also walked away from the porch outside the house, there were not many people outside the house, Jiang Feng got into the horned carriage that he had set in advance, and waited for Xiao Mingzhen to arrive with peace of mind.
"Ruoxi, don't go. As soon as he got into the carriage and sat down, he heard the voice of a small student in the outer room, Jiang Feng didn't care about it, but when he heard the word "Ruoxi", he suddenly woke up, could it be Bai Ruoxi's little girl's skin? He couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car A slight gap, but saw a man and a woman entangled outside the house, it was Bai Ruoxi, but the man Jiang Feng didn't know, but looking at his gorgeous clothes, he should be a child of a big family.
"Don't pester me, I'm going back. β
"Why are you in such a hurry, my ninth uncle and they will be here in a while, they have long wanted to see you. β
"What's so nice, don't you or I have a marriage contract, I'll see it then!" Bai Ruoxi shook off the man's hand and refused impatiently, "I'm not feeling well today, I'm leaving." β
"My ninth uncle is working in the Red Dragon Gate, and it is not easy to come back once......"
"That's their business. Bai Ruoxi didn't care, "You just find an excuse to send them away, can't you do this little thing?
"I ......"
"Why don't you go back to your big-faced cousin and look at your appearance. β
"Ruoxi, you misunderstood, we grew up together since childhood, so we are familiar with each other, so there are not so many taboos between each other. β
"Talk to me about childhood sweethearts, right?"
"Ruoxi ......"
"Hurry back, I'll give you a chance to meet me today, and don't mention her in front of me in the future." β
"Ruoxi, don't be angry......
"Hmph, I'm not happy, not happy at all!" Bai Ruoxi crossed his hands on his hips, "Quickly disappear in front of me, I count dozens, one, two, three......"
"Okay, Ruoxi, I listen to you, I'll go, I'll go. The man in the gorgeous clothes finally gave way, and fled in three steps and two steps, but he was still unwilling, and he was so worried that he couldn't help but look back several times, but in the end he didn't dare to stay.
"Hmph! what a guts seed!" Bai Ruoxi kicked his soft legs, and just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw two acquaintances coming out of the door, he quickly restrained his temperament, stepped forward and saluted, and looked like a lady.
This little girlie can really do it!
It seems that Fang Cai is his fiancΓ©, the person in charge of the family that Chu Yiming said, it is really a thing to a thing, what about the head of the family, it is not that he is as docile as a deer, Jiang Feng smiled in his heart, closed the car curtain, and secretly wondered in his heart whether Xiao Mingzhen was in any trouble, how did it come to the appointed time, and it had not yet appeared, even if it was an appointment, the trustworthy driver issued by the other party did not show up at all.
was squinting his eyes and concentrating, and suddenly noticed a figure walking towards this side, but it was not like Xiao Mingzhen's breath, and in his doubts, a white-skinned jade hand suddenly opened the curtain.
"Hmm, it's you, the thief, who is watching from the sidelines!"
Bai Ruoxi's pretty face appeared in front of Jiang Feng, her eyes widened, "You voyeuristic thief, what are your bad intentions in ambushing here?"
What bad intentions can I have, I am just waiting for someone here, Jiang Feng was about to explain, but he noticed that the other party's expression was suddenly sluggish, his apricot eyes widened, and he rushed into the car.
