Chapter 255: Mutual Benefit
"The Black Water Gate has been occupied by the Jincheng faction?"
Hearing Jiang Chengzi's report, Jiang Feng was shocked, the news was really unexpected, since the death of the head of the Heishui Sect, Qiu Baisi, he had been reduced to a puppet among the puppets, among the surrounding sects, the strength was as light as a feather, even with the strength of the Qianshan Sect, it could be easily killed, and the reason why the surrounding sects were scruples was nothing more than the endorsement of the Great Wei State.
Now that the Jincheng faction has suddenly occupied it, it can only show one question: the Great Wei State has undergone a self-care accident, could it be that the protracted war with the Yefan State has reached the level of complete defeat?
However, this has nothing to do with the Asayama sect. The Wei State was completely defeated, even if the Jincheng faction occupied the Black Water Gate, but the end of the barren land in the southwest of the Warm Valley County of the Asayama Sect was still connected to the Wei State, but it was not weak enough for the Asagima Sect to intervene and expand the territory.
The only question is, what is the Jincheng faction's intention to swallow the territory of Heishuimen, which itself has scarce output? Even according to the old practice, Su Liqing appointed the monks under his command to guard this place as the city lord, presumably not many people are willing to come.
No, that's not the point.
The Great Wei State has always forbidden trade with the demon clans in the Seven Alliances, including the Qianshan Sect, and now that the Wei State has changed, then this policy may change. The Jincheng faction must have made such a move in order to monopolize the trade routes to the south.
Although the barren land in the southwest of the Qianshan Sect borders the Wei State, it is difficult to open up trade routes, as long as the Jincheng faction occupies the Heishui Gate, then it can monopolize all the demon sects in the Seven Alliances, and also includes the southbound trade routes of the Qianshan Sect and the Yufeng Sect, at this point, the only one who can enjoy the benefits of this is the Gu Jian Gate, although the Biyun Sect is not far from the Wei State, but it happens to be blocked by the Jincheng faction and the Gu Jian Gate, although you can get a glimpse of the land of the Wei State with only your eyesight, but in fact it is impossible to reach.
This Su Liqing is very shrewd!
The problem is that the development path of the Asayama Sect has also been blocked in advance!
It is unrealistic to do it, the strength is not good, and the other party has already turned the occupation of the Black Water Gate into a fact! It is really fatal that the intelligence work cannot keep up, otherwise with the Qianshan Sect near the water, at least it can occupy some of the southbound passages. Of course, if the naked invasion is deliberately pursued, it will also lose the protection of the patriarchal system, and the reason why the Jincheng faction dares to do so may also be tacitly approved by some of the nine old men.
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and relieved a little depression in his heart, but he immediately had an idea, isn't this the best time to persuade Su Liqing to open up the trade route from the west of Lelin City to the Qianshan Sect? If this trade route is smooth, the trade route from Luoying Gate, the west of Chixia Gate, and the Yufeng Sect to the prosperous area in the central part of Wei State can be shortened a lot, and shortening itself means that there is more room for tax revenue, and it may be the best time to persuade Su Liqing at this time.
Thinking of this joint, Jiang Feng returned to the inner mansion of the head of the sect and wrote a congratulatory letter, congratulating Su Liqing on getting the Heishui Gate, and said that in order to prepare for the opening of trade in the Wei State, he hoped to open up the trade route from the west of Lelin City to the Qianshan Sect, and widen the trade route that originally passed through Donghu County, of course, the latter was actually just a cover for the former, so as to prevent Su Liqing from thinking too much about this matter.
This can be regarded as a mutually beneficial thing, Su Liqing promised that it would be good, and he could get the five-point shares of the Beimu Special Zone promised by Leng Tingtao, even if he didn't agree, he was just wasting a letter.
Carefully sealed the letter, and instructed Wang Yi to personally send it to Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, and send it to Su Liqing through the regular delivery route, as for the reply, he believed that if the other party was interested, he would naturally send someone to send the letter to the other courtyard of the Qianshan Sect in Tianyou City. Coming and going, although it may take half a month, but for the time being, I am weak, so I can only do this.
After dealing with this matter, Jiang Feng once again sacrificed the headwind Ruyi Flying Boat, took Jiang Chengzi and Jiang Hai, and went straight to the direction of Fuyuan Three Towns and Nuangu County, preparing to take Dao Li Zong from there and go to Zhenwu City, on the one hand, to inform Chu Yiming of the secrets of Dongbo City, and on the other hand, to find a way to raise a huge amount of money for the construction of the small spirit vein.
............
Rui Jinmen, Jinchuan City.
Foreign Affairs Elder Li Yufeng is discussing several major events since the establishment of the sect with Xu Youjing, the new head of the sect, Huang Xinpei, the elder of the Gonggong, and Qiu Chengyun, the general affairs elder.
Although it belongs to the old enemy of the grudge "not sharing the sky", but at the insistence of the head Xu Youjing, Li Yufeng still successfully repaired the tense relationship with the Covering Sea Gate, and sold the beast ship to the snake swallowing elephant, and the territory was more than doubled The Covering Sea Gate, with these funds, the affairs of Rui Jinmen large and small can be quickly restored, plus the support of the Qiu family, as well as the strong support of the new rising families Huang family, the Wu family, and the Meng family, everything is now on the right track.
The sect was shattered, and most of the monks fell, but at the same time, it also gave more people a chance to rise.
In the matter of handing over the territory with Lizong, Li Yufeng agreed to cooperate, so as to obtain the exchange conditions of Lizong's temporary ban on trade with the Imperial Wind Sect, although this matter could not be completely avoided, but for the worse conditions of the Imperial Wind Sect, it was undoubtedly a great trouble.
At the same time, because of the contradiction with the Chixia Gate, Luoyingmen also agreed to cooperate with this matter, and now, the trade route of the Yufeng Sect to the south, there is only one Qianshan Sect left, but the strength of the Qianshan Sect is too weak, but it may not be willing or dare to do this, in view of the fact that Jiang Feng, the head of the Qianshan Sect, is still familiar with each other, Li Yufeng plans to go to the Qianshan Sect in person after everything is smooth.
In order to combat the opponent's considerations, for the goods transported to Xiaoting City by the Northern Huadi Gate and the Qiuhuo Gate through the Chaotic Stone Sea Sea Road, the Ruijin Gate is completely exempt from commercial tax, so as to prevent them from using the inner harbor of the Yufeng Sect, and the rest of the larger sects that are worried about are only the Tianli Sect, this sect that is quite prejudiced against the Demon Sect, Li Yufeng can guess without thinking about it, if Mu Qianxue wants to reach a trade with it, I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of price.
Surrounded everywhere, completely putting the Imperial Wind Sect in a predicament, Li Yufeng believes that if this strategy can be implemented perfectly, it won't be long before most of the monk families who get lost in the chaos or ride the wall to join Mu Qianxue will secretly return, leaving her an empty door when the time comes, even if there is a hundred years of protection from the patriarchal system, what is the use?
When the time comes, it will not be difficult to find a way to take advantage of the chaos to subdue the lost ground. It's just the old capital of Jindu City, I'm afraid that only by waiting for Xu Deyang, the head of Taishang, to go one step further and reach the real heaven level, however, the resources needed for this are probably an astronomical amount.
Fortunately, several colleagues have just ascended to a high position, and they are very energetic, and when they start to do things, they can think of one place, and on the basis of mutual benefit, they will think about the sect together, which is much more comfortable than when they were on an errand in the Yufeng Sect.
Don't break it, don't stand it!
Li Yufeng was full of emotion in his heart, thinking about how to persuade the Qianshan Sect to join in this matter of blocking the ranks of the Imperial Wind Sect, perhaps, promising Jiang Feng and the main elders some personal conditions to help them open up the road to promotion to the prefecture level? It seems to be a feasible idea, after all, the Qianshan Sect does not even have a serious spiritual land.
............
Looking down from the air, the three towns of Fuyuan have not changed much, the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce is mining and surveying the ore veins is fake, and the mystery of secretly watching the true spirit sage is true, but it seems that they still did it, but the scale is not large.
The situation of Warm Valley County is different, due to the large number of development of Lingtian, there are obviously many more houses here than before, from the mountain valley all the way to the foot of the mountain, correspondingly, it is the withering of several surrounding towns, it is obvious that Warm Valley County has absorbed more ordinary people, but this is an inevitable result, but among these towns, there may also be villages and towns with good conditions, if you create a small spiritual vein, you may be able to keep one or two of them, the situation will be better.
There was not much time, Jiang Feng did not stop in Nuangu County, flew directly to the border, fell into the clouds, collected Jiang Chengzi, found the nearest official road, and went straight to Zhenwu City with Jiang Hai.
His first target is the stronghold of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, "Heqiju", and the fierce spirit that can save Xiao Mingbao has been obtained, the problem is that he can't use it, and he has to ask Qiu Nanjia for help in this matter, and this left envoy of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce who is not stationed here can only be contacted by Ni Dabao or Liao Shencang.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Nanjia happened to be in Zhenwu City.
"It's not impossible to help, but all the proceeds belong to me, and besides, we can't go to the Xiao family, we Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, we must clear up the connection with this matter, Xiao Mingbao's damage to the law is not our doing. ”
“......”
Did you do it, don't you have a point in your heart, Jiang Feng complained in his heart, but he couldn't show his dissatisfaction, Qiu Nanjia said "gain", he guessed that it was the wisp of black gas that lingered on the red coral law, this thing is useless if he wants to, and it can't be saved, presumably Qiu Nanjia has his own way.
"No problem, I'll go and communicate. You wait for my news. Jiang Feng went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, opened a B-shaped room, stayed Jiang Hai to wait here, went to Xiao's house alone, sent a post, and asked to see Xiao Mingzhen.
"Master Jiang is polite!"
Xiao Mingzhen took two maids to welcome Jiang Feng into the guest hall, put spiritual tea on the table, and said solemnly, "Master Jiang, please sit, it's really a rare guest." ”
"Where, where. Jiang Feng said a few words of politeness in a high-sounding manner, and when the maid turned around, he secretly blinked, and pointed to the spirit tea, Xiao Ming really understood.
"Lian'er, go and add some snow well rock candy to Master Jiang's spiritual tea, Xin'er, you go with her, by the way, bring the calligraphy and painting you just got, be careful, and ask Master Jiang to appreciate it." ”
"Yes!" The two of them retreated, Xiao Mingzhen's spiritual power was slightly released, and the door was closed, and his dignified demeanor immediately became active, "I said Master Jiang, do you still have a conscience, have you forgotten this girl, and you have nothing to do to go to the Three Treasures Palace, do you have something to ask me again?" She took three quick steps forward, reached out, and wanted to grab Jiang Feng's arm.
Jiang Feng hurriedly shrank back, what are you kidding, other secrets are fine, if she happens to peek into the secret of the ancient treasure Tower of Eternity, it is not a trivial matter.
"Yo, I'm quite smart, I haven't seen you rise much. ”
"Something is true. ”
"Wouldn't it be a good thing to want to prostitute for nothing, right? Although Chu Anlan is dead, the burden on Chu Wenyin's body is heavier, I can't help you persuade her to go to the Asallow Mountain Sect to help you, in other words, Chu Anlan's body was returned by you, but it impressed me. Failing to grab Jiang Feng's body and find out any secrets, she sat on the desk again, revealing her snow-white calves, swinging around, waiting for Jiang Feng to tell her what she wanted.
"I can save Xiao Mingbao and restore him to his normal body as a monk. ”
Xiao Mingzhen's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately returned to normal, "I'm afraid it won't work, although Chu Wenyin has always taken care of Mingbao, but in the face of the family's interests, she will not give in easily." ”
"I will find a way to fight for Chu Wenyin's affairs by myself, but to save Xiao Mingbao, the Xiao family needs to promise never to investigate the reasons, otherwise, I will not be able to help him. ”
"I can't call the shots. Xiao Mingzhen gently pulled his hair down, "At least my grandfather Xiao Daoyan agrees." Since you know the reason, why don't you say it, maybe the Xiao family can still give you a lot of spirit stones. ”
"I really lack spirit stones. "But there must also be a life flower, Jiang Feng didn't say the latter sentence, and he guessed that the Xiao family might know the reason, but somehow it didn't happen, "I hope you can borrow me some." ”
"Sure enough...... I'll just say, how much do you want to borrow, and when will you pay it back? Friends, the interest is counted, what are you going to use for the collateral?" she looked at Jiang Feng playfully, walked over casually, and her jade hand reached Jiang Feng's arm again.
Jiang Feng dodged quickly again, he had been prepared for this, he had been secretly on guard, raised his head and glared at Xiao Mingzhen, and said solemnly, "If you know too much, it will hurt you." ”
"Oh, do you have such a big secret now, or are there too many things to see? I have heard that you have married a widow with a baby in order to give birth to a monk as soon as possible. ”
What's the matter...... Jiang Feng complained in his heart, has this rumor reached Xiao Mingzhen, and it is obviously crooked, I obviously don't have this idea.
"One hundred and twenty third-order. Jiang Feng decided to get down to business to avoid the embarrassment of getting darker and darker.
"Ho, you're so angry, so much!"
This amount obviously exceeded Xiao Mingzhen's expectations, "You are a Xuan-level cultivator, you need so many spirit stones...... I can help you solve half of it, but it's still the same sentence, what do you use as collateral?" she looked at Jiang Feng with playful eyes, looking up and down at him, as if looking for something valuable.
I don't seem to have any collateral, and the collateral that I can take out will either be used for other purposes or can't be exposed, "I can ask Chu Yiming to help me as a guarantee." Jiang Feng suddenly remembered this, this guy who helps each other should still be able to play some value, as for the other half, he wants this guarantor to lend it to him.
"And that white prostitute is not uncommon! it would be more useful for you to make a deed of sale yourself. I'll go see Grandpa first and talk about Ming Bao, you can think about it again, sixty third-order pieces is not a small amount. If I lend it to you, this girl will drink the northwest wind within a year. ”
She turned to leave, leaving only a fragrant empty room for Jiang Feng, and after a while, the two maids turned around, presented Xuejing rock candy, and brought a very well-preserved authentic work of the ancestors.
Good drawing!
Jiang Feng, who didn't know how to write and ink, only felt that his vocabulary was lacking, and he had no other ideas than saying yes, but fortunately, the two maids were not good at this, Jiang Feng reluctantly tasted it, and compared it with the dusty "Bihai Pickup Shell" in his storage bag, and felt that Xiao Mingzhen's painting was more valuable, and thought about it, although it was far from enough to be worth the mortgage, but it should be a gift, so he took out the "Blue Sea Pickup Shell" and put it on the desk together.
After a stick of incense, Jiang Feng and Xiao Mingzhen had already taken the sick Xiao Mingbao into a well-covered carriage and went straight to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Well?
"I really misunderstood you. Taking advantage of the opportunity to help Xiao Mingbao get out of the car, Xiao Mingzhen still successfully touched Jiang Feng once, her eyes widened, and she immediately looked at Jiang Feng incredulously, and muttered, "Sure enough, I still don't know." ”
“......”
Looking at Xiao Mingzhen, who was surprised and showed an incredible expression, Jiang Feng's heart was instantly confused, his head was as big as a fight, and he secretly revealed some secrets if he was not careful, this Xiao Mingzhen's innate magic skill "Soul Warming Touch", although it has no combat function, but the detection ability is really domineering, but I don't know what kind of secret she successfully detected this time?
He and the widow with the baby were innocent!
Xiao Mingzhen was a little lucky in his heart at this time, but who was that bad woman named Yan Shujia, she was about to take the opportunity to investigate again, but Jiang Feng had already dragged Xiao Mingbao away in a panic.
