Today's Zhuqiao City is exceptionally warm, much better than Luochuan's coldness, as for Dayi County, it can be regarded as warm as spring, Jiang Feng finally failed to see Wan Yu Pavilion, the head of Qingyu Sect, alone, but according to what Chen Kun said before, everything will be arranged properly, so he didn't think much about it, and went straight to the location of the Jincheng League-Xianhai Tower.

According to the secret letter sent by Chen Kun's envoy early in the morning, Jiang Feng will participate in today's alliance meeting as an "observation envoy", and join the Jincheng Alliance at the right opportunity.

The head of the North Sword Sect is Wan Feiran.

Jiang Feng instantly understood the meaning of the "Observation Envoy" representative, which was also a suitable reason for him to enter this place in a grand manner, and the Observer Envoy might be more than one person, and they would be here to witness the establishment of the "Golden City Alliance" together. Jiang Feng greeted Wan Feiran, and then sat down at the bottom, where there were three seats with different colors and shapes, presumably today's "observer", there was still one person who had not arrived.

The main master of the Jincheng League, but no one arrived, only Guan Xinpei, the foreign affairs elder of the Qingyu Sect, was busy left and right, until the first head, Zheng Jiasheng, the head of the Biyun Sect, arrived first.

Well?

Zheng Jiasheng's face changed slightly, but it didn't seem that it was because he saw Jiang Feng and Wan Feiran, but because he found that he was the first to arrive, he immediately showed a little dissatisfaction on his face, but he still followed Guan Xinpei's guidance and sat in the designated position, waiting for others to arrive.

"Is your son's body recovering?"

Jiang Feng keenly observed that Zheng Jiasheng did not have too many grievances against him, presumably the frivolous guy who was injured by himself before was no longer in serious trouble, in this case, it is still necessary to say a few greetings to resolve old grievances, after all, his purpose today is to join the Jincheng League, and Zheng Jiasheng also has a vote.

"Hmph, don't bother Master Jiang, you are worried, the dog is already alive and well. However, you took away his magic weapon, should you give it back to me?"

"When Sun Baotai chased and killed me, he destroyed me. ”

"Oh, it's with that folding willow sword, right?" Zheng Jiasheng subconsciously guessed, but then thought of something, "Sun Baotai's things, especially that blood armor, have all fallen into your hands, right? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, he had a dispute with the Taoist friends of Tianlimen halfway, so I took the opportunity to slip away, but I don't know why he didn't have news later. Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't boast that he was superior to the crowd and killed Sun Baotai and the others, which was also the reason why he almost sold the ruins, especially the dazzling blood armor, only in this way could he try to clear up the suspicion.

"Tianli Gate?" Zheng Jiasheng chuckled, he didn't believe Jiang Feng's nonsense, he was about to ask something else, but he saw Leng Tingtao, Zuo Zician and Su Liqing, and entered the square hall together.

"Master Zheng, don't come unharmed!"

Su Liqing was the first to greet warmly, and when he saw Jiang Feng, his eyes were much colder, and he turned to look at Guan Xinpei, the foreign affairs elder of the Qing Yu Sect, "Guan Daoyou, why are there still outsiders here today?"

"Master Su misunderstood, Master Jiang and Master Wan both came to watch the ceremony today, and they were specially invited guests by Elder Chen of our sect. ”

"Guest?" Su Liqing raised his eyebrows and caught a glimpse of the three unusual seats, "Elder Chen really has a heart, who else is it?"

"It's the old man. But I saw another white-robed monk pacing in, this person looked not young, his hair and beard were white, but the breath on his body was flowing and flowing, quite like a fairy wind and bones.

"It turned out to be Bai Daoyou. Su Liqing recognized this person, hugged his fists and saluted, "Why is Lizong interested in us forming a small alliance?"

"Definitely. In the next is just the order of the sect, go to Tianyin Temple to do business, on the way back want to visit the Qing Yuzong, but there happened to be this event, so I came to watch the ceremony, this matter has nothing to do with the power of the sect. ”

"I see. Su Liqing's face was slightly fixed, and with a "please" posture in his right hand, he gave this Bai Daoyou to the seat, and the monk looked at Jiang Feng and Wan Feiran a few times, "Maybe a few Daoists don't recognize me, let me introduce myself, the contemptible Bai Shiduo, who serves in Lizong." ”

Bai Shiduo?

Isn't this Bai Shizai's brother, Bai Ruoxi's father, how can he be so old? Jiang Feng immediately remembered it

The old things, but the age of the monk is different, and he also has different preferences for his solidified appearance, looking old is not necessarily not in good health, the so-called "old and strong", probably so, Jiang Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still returned the gift officially according to the usual rules, and introduced himself, Jiang Feng ignored the unkind gaze projected by Su Liqing, and when he introduced himself, he also teased the other party by the way:

"Speaking of which, my wife is the daughter of the head of Su, and she came to watch the ceremony today, and she is also concerned about family affairs. ”

One sentence caused everyone present to laugh, their faces showed different expressions, Su Liqing was slightly angry, but soon reined in, and also smiled indifferently, Zheng Jiasheng felt interesting, by the way, asked how Su Liqing's other daughters were married, whether to consider their own sons, which made Su Liqing frown again and again, but also knew that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on him, Zuo Zician and Leng Tingtao stayed out of the matter, happy to be idle, until the master here, Wan Yuting, the head of Qingyu Sect, arrived, and everyone stood up together to greet him.

As the highest cultivator here, Wan Yuting enjoyed a moment of respect from everyone, and then motioned for everyone to sit together, Chen Kun naturally came with him, sitting under him, with his early Jindan cultivation and the identity of the elder of the inner gate of the Qingyu Sect, it is not inappropriate to sit here.

Chen Kun said a few words of greeting on behalf of Wan Yuting, welcomed everyone to come, and introduced three Taoist friends who came to watch the ceremony by the way, and then went straight to the point, without the slightest intention of dragging the water.

"Today, our five sects gather here to seek common development, remove obstacles, expand trade routes, and communicate with each other. He threw out five collegiate documents, as well as three thinner papers, and handed them to everyone present, "This is the draft covenant that has been reached according to the wishes of each family, and if there is no objection, you can sign it and become a member of the Jincheng League." ”

Jiang Feng naturally got a copy, this is also the first time he has officially seen the covenant of the Jincheng Alliance, compared to the covenant in the hands of the five families, the documents in his hands are much thinner, and there must be a lot of details hidden, including a lot of confidential content, what he can see is naturally the content that can be announced to the surrounding sects after the alliance is established, and as an "observer", he only saw it a few days in advance.

There are seven covenants, the first three of which are the most important.

First, all the monks of each sect in the alliance are under the unified management, and the monks at or above the foundation or Xuan level are uniformly recorded, except for those who hold the position of elders, they all need to assume the duties of guarding and patrolling the Quartet, and the monks below this realm are managed by each sect itself;

Second, the inbound commercial tax and the outbound commercial tax will be unified for each case in the alliance, the tax collection facilities along the route will be dismantled, and the relevant personnel will be dismissed, but the business tax rate of the shops where the sect is located will not be agreed upon for the time being, and will be designated by each case on its own, and unified after ten years of collegiate agreement;

Third, the alliance is consistent with the outside world, and the right to declare war is jointly decided by the members of the alliance, with one vote per case;

Fourth, when major affairs within the alliance involve disputes, the members of the alliance will jointly make decisions, and each case will have one vote;

Fifth, the second-order and above spiritual land in the alliance is managed in a unified manner, and the cave mansions built on the spiritual land are required to pay a fee for use;

Sixth, the government treasury is set up within the alliance to repay the expenses of the three divisions within the alliance, and the revenue of the government treasury is paid by each case, which is measured by the number of monks at or above the foundation or Xuan level, and the number of Qi or spiritual level monks is converted into a certain proportion;

Seventh, the establishment of the alliance leader, the deputy leader of the alliance, the leader of the alliance by the highest level of cultivation in the alliance to serve, the deputy leader of the alliance by the head of each sect, five years for a term, the deputy leader of the alliance can not be re-elected for more than three terms. The Alliance Leader has decision-making power when major matters are unresolved.

These seven clauses are basically the same as Jiang Feng's previous understanding, but there are some more details, such as the commercial tax issues in the location of the sect, as well as the management of low-level monks, it can be said that these were also the contents that Jiang Feng was secretly worried about before, the establishment of an alliance, the final concept must be to unite the people as one, and to gain stronger strength in the group, but each sect has its own inheritance, it is impossible to sacrifice too much, and completely lose independence, this point, presumably in the hearts of these five families, also have their own bottom line, judging from these terms, it is the result of a multi-party compromise, of course, there must be a more detailed and feasible agreement in the detailed terms。

The five families present were obviously prepared for these terms, but after a few hurried glances, they turned to the detailed terms behind, and all of them frowned, as if they were thinking about the gains and losses.

Zheng Jiasheng was the first to put down the contract and put a soul mark, while Su Liqing was the second to act, followed by Zuo Zicicada, and finally Leng

Listening to Tao, he still seems to be dissatisfied, but seeing that everyone agrees, he signed the same name, Chen Kun glanced at Wan Yu Pavilion, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he put away the one in his hand, along with the other four collegial books, and presented it to Wan Yu Pavilion.

"Since you have all agreed, I declare that the Golden City Alliance has been officially established today. Wan Yu Pavilion's pseudo-heaven-level aura was released, and the atmosphere in the entire venue was condensed and solemn, and a bright light flashed on his right hand, leaving a soul mark on each collegiate book, and then flew back to everyone's hands, and each person held a document that was not signed by other sects, so that they could be used as mutual corroboration.

"Today's alliance is just established, it can be regarded as the first collegiate discussion, do you have a proposal? We can take this opportunity to discuss it, and when everything is settled, we will elect the deputy alliance leader, and then each of them will return to their sects to implement today's agreement. ”

"I have. Before Wan Yuting's words fell, Zheng Jiasheng was the first to come out, he looked left and right, and saw that you had no opinions, "It's a matter of the alliance, Lord Wanmeng, see if you want to ......" He turned his head and motioned to Jiang Feng and the others, implying that what he mentioned was the internal affairs of the alliance, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to share.

"It doesn't matter. The original intention of the establishment of the alliance is to communicate with each other and be kind to neighbors, and it is also a good thing that a few Taoist friends have witnessed the first discussion within our alliance. Wan Yuting's face was indifferent, and he did not follow Zheng Jiasheng's suggestion to leave Jiang Feng and a few people.

"That's good. Zheng Jiasheng readjusted his sitting posture, "I hope that the territory that Qing Yu Sect invaded before Biyun Sect can be returned to Biyun Sect as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, the field suddenly became much quieter, no one spoke out for this, Zheng Jiasheng couldn't help but look at Su Liqing opposite, and motioned for him to come out and speak, Su Liqing looked at the head, but listened to Chen Kun say, "Originally, this is an old thing before the establishment of the alliance, and it is an established fact, but, in order to show the sincerity of Qing Yuzong's dedication to the alliance, I suggest that this matter be resolved by vote, Master Zheng, what do you think?"

"Good. Zheng Jiasheng hesitated, "I naturally hope to return it as soon as possible, is there anyone else in favor of this?" He looked at Leng Tingtao and the others, plus Su Liqing, as long as he got two more votes of support, he could get his wish.

"I agree. The first one to echo the statement was not Su Liqing, but Zuo Zicicada.

"Qing Yuzong has invested a lot there, Master Zheng, do you think this matter can't be handled so simply?" Su Liqing interjected, "I suggest setting up a buffer period for the handover, which may be good for everyone." ”

Didn't you say in advance that you would fully support me, Zheng Jiasheng's lips moved, and he resisted the urge to tell the truth directly, but he listened to Leng Tingtao on the side and added, "I also agree, since the business and taxation will be unified in the future, all the investment of Qingyu Sect can also be recovered in disguise, it is the birthplace of Biyun Sect, presumably Zheng Zhangmen and many people in the sect also have deep feelings for it." ”

"Yes, yes, Floating Cloud City is very important to us, and it means a lot. Seeing that Leng Tingtao also supported himself, he had already made up three votes, and Zheng Jiasheng decisively agreed.

"Since your three sects have agreed, in two months, these cities will be returned. Chen Kun said, "However, the premise is that the previously agreed payment of the spiritual land use fee in advance needs to be implemented. ”

"This is natural. Zheng Jiasheng suddenly felt a little painful, but he still agreed happily, he glanced at Leng Tingtao who helped with a little gratitude, then glanced at Su Liqing, and took a deep breath.

How does it look like he is acting, Jiang Feng suddenly had a trace of such an illusion in his heart, and secretly said that the several cities that have been occupied can be returned to their original owners so easily, there may be some ulterior transactions in this. Thinking of this, Yu Guang glanced at Wan Feiran and Bai Shiduo next to him, and found that the two did not care about these details, it seemed that these two had completely different mentalities from himself, and they really came to watch the ceremony, and they didn't care about this kind of thing.

"There's one more proposal. But listening to Zheng Jiasheng continue, he looked around, his gaze stayed on Jiang Feng for a moment, "I hope that the alliance can continue to expand its scope, before, Master Jiang once entrusted me, hoping to join the Jincheng Alliance and become one of us." ”

I didn't......

Jiang Feng subconsciously shouted in his heart, I have never ...... However, he immediately understood something, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Kun's eyes with a hint of playfulness, and realized that this might be what Fang had just thought about, a part of the behind-the-scenes transaction, so he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for the introduction of Master Zheng, my Qianshan Sect does have this intention, I hope to be accepted by you." ”
