Chapter 338: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
"Does it feel good to watch the fire from the other side?"
Liao Shencang, who originally had a rather gloomy expression, turned to stare at Jiang Feng, his eyes were blazing, and the vertical eyes between his eyebrows were also shining, Jiang Feng suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, and he realized that in terms of cultivation, Liao Shencang was much stronger than himself, although he had no malicious intent, but he seemed to have been misunderstood by Liao Shencang.
"You're mistaken, I just care about you. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Aren't we friends?"
Jiang Feng was very embarrassed at this time, he didn't expect that this topic touched on Liao Shencang's pain points, presumably there must be some stories of "gains and losses" or "disappointed wishes", and he may need to ask Qiu Nanjia to get an answer. Therefore, he turned to seek another breakthrough point, in Jiang Feng's opinion, although Liao Shencang is silent, but his character is good, in the matter of the excavation of the True Spirit Sage Cave in Fuyuan Town, it is enough to show the other party's mercy, as a monk who naturally lives above the mundane, this is commendable, and he has done a good job in the matter of loyalty, but whether the two can become friends, Jiang Feng does not have this confidence, and has done "dirty work" with his brother Lei Youqi, and "side by side against the enemy" The friendship between him and Liao Shencang is more due to the common interests of the Qianshan Sect and the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce.
"Sort of. ”
Liao Shencang smiled reluctantly, his smile had always been ugly, "I misunderstood, the Eight Great Dharma Protectors, in fact, I personally don't care very much, but some people do." But when it comes to the internal affairs of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, I can't talk to you too much. He sighed lightly, stopped talking, took a moment to adjust his mind and words, and continued, "I was worried about your personal safety, but since you have advanced to the Rank Rank, then the situation may be much better. ”
"What's the situation, why is there a safety problem?"
"I can't say that. Liao Shencang's answer was dry, "I'm ashamed to say it, I don't know the details." At this point, the Qiu Zuo Envoy should have a new plan, and he will go to Zhenwu City as soon as you have time. ”
Liao Shencang said half of the words, which made Jiang Feng feel a little uncomfortable, the question of safety? Could it be that he lost his life because of the failure of cooperation, or was it the agreement to explore the cave of the True Spirit Sage in Fuyuan Town? Or there are other hidden secrets, Jiang Feng has guessed for a long time in his heart, and most of the problems in his heart are still new, I am afraid that this is really as Liao Shencang said, go to Qiu Nanjia a day earlier to ask for clarification.
However, the more urgent thing at the moment is to return to Luochuan as soon as possible, deal with the Jincheng faction**, and the adverse effects caused by the melee of the Seven Alliances, and Liao Shencang had a brief chat with Liao Shencang, and then compared to the old things of being worried about the competition by the other party, the invisible spirit of the Mohaishu is even more terrifying, with Liao Shencang on his side, he believes that Mohaishu will not mess around easily.
............
Jincheng faction, God bless the city.
As soon as Su Liqing came out of the alliance leader's mansion, he felt a strange aura, wandering around, he pretended not to notice, and carefully tasted it for a while, and felt that this aura was not a monk in the sect, but rather a little rusty.
He made an excuse to retreat from the old servant Quan Shuisheng who followed him, the level of the other party is not that Quan Shuisheng's cultivation can deal with it, staying by his side will hinder it, and he returned to the alliance leader's mansion, and after a while, a black-haired man in a red robe came out of the alliance leader's mansion, it was Su Liqing in disguise, he hid his cultivation, and went along the breath he found.
Who the hell is trying to wreak havoc on my turf?
He cautiously approached, until the breath was near, and only then did he catch a glimpse of the stranger at the corner of the street, a tall man, wrapped in a soap robe that did not fit well, with short sleeves, revealing the long gray-white hair on his arms, and he seemed unfamiliar with the layout, looking left and right, more like he was exploring and looking for something.
The question is, this is the treasury of the "Imperial Division", but all controversial things and prisoners will be temporarily placed here, what is he looking for here?
The tall man wandered left and right several times, and then jumped into the courtyard wall of the "Imperial Division", stirring up the large array used for protection, with a crackling and shaking, Su Liqing no longer waited, the monks in the sect here should not be this person's opponent, his body moved, and in an instant, he appeared opposite the stranger who was bounced back by the formation.
This......
This is not like a living person, looking at each other head-on, Su Li Qingden noticed this person's abnormality. On the gray face, there was no blood at all, and the corners of the mouth were cracked, far beyond the width of ordinary people, and the skin covered by the robe seemed to be more like the characteristics of the incomplete transformation demon clan...... As a well-informed leader, Su Liqing found that this person was more like a "demon puppet" refined by some monks, but ......
No, the demon aura on his body was strong and real, but to some extent, like a "living person", Su Liqing, who had no way to make a final judgment, was suddenly a little dazed.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Su Liqing immediately had an extra blue long sword in his hand, and in the other hand, there was an extra pair of silk-like magic weapons, because the large array of the "Court Division" was activated, and several monks rushed out from all sides, but they sensed the breath of the two strong men, and before they got close, they scattered like birds and beasts, and many people ran in the direction of the inner mansion of the head of the house and the mansion of the alliance leader, Xu to find the head of Su Liqing.
"It was you who took mine
Things?" The tall man's tone of voice was very twisted, and it was also very slow, as if he had to think about it for a long time, he leaned forward slightly, lowered his head and sniffed in the direction of Su Liqing, and then said, "No, it's not you, get out!"
Hum!
Su Liqing knew that he wanted to speak by force, moved a few steps sideways, and the spiritual power under his feet bloomed, so he held the blue long sword and stabbed straight at the other party, he could see that the other party's consciousness did not seem to be clear, as if a person who had been asleep for a long time had just woken up, although it had the breath of a "living thing", it was more like a resurrection from the dead.
Click!
Su Liqing's figure was already very close, and the tall monk took out a magic weapon to deal with it in a hurry, the magic weapon was very poor, just a short dagger, bumping into Su Liqing's long sword, and suddenly cracks appeared, and his figure couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at the mutilated dagger in his hand with a blank face.
"My magic weapon...... If you're not there, you'll suffer, and I'll get it back...... Fight you again. He took a few steps back, and with a dash of his body took shape, and then he fled into the distance.
The other party was defeated as soon as he joined together, Su Liqing thought about it, and got up to chase it, but he didn't approach, but followed him all the way, until two hours later, the mysterious man entered Leng Tingtao's realm, he stopped his body, and said in his heart Since he went to the territory of "Lelinmen", then leave it to Leng Tingtao to deal with, this person seems to have a purpose, what is it for?
Turning back to Tianyou City, he changed into the standard robes of the sect, but several people from the "Court Division" came to report, saying that there were two strong men fighting nearby, breaking the protective array, and robbing a number of property.
Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you want to take advantage of the chaos to report losses?
Su Liqing deliberately did not expose it, but solemnly took the report over, carefully examined it, and found that there were at least thirty third-order losses and several magic weapons, and sneered in his heart, this is what you are greedy for?
"The treasury of the Imperial Division, what new things have been put into the treasury recently?"
"Back to the head of the family, because of the change into the alliance, half of the treasury of the court council has been emptied, which is used to store the materials shared in the alliance, according to the agreement, the Linggu tax paid by various places, as well as the herbs above the second order, will be temporarily stored in the treasury of the court council for distribution at the end of the year. However, since it is not yet the end of the year, there is no collection in the treasury. In addition......"
"Besides what?"
"Before, there was a monk's corpse, but it is here temporarily, and this body has not been claimed, and it is still waiting for you to decide where it is. ”
Su Liqing immediately remembered the old matter of arresting Jiang Feng, this corpse should be the loose cultivator who was traveling with Jiang Feng, and he was besieged and killed before, but there were not many valuables on this fang, and then they were all returned to Leng Tingtao, the corpse was originally intended to stay here, and it was returned to Jiang Feng as a personal favor, so it was temporarily stored here, and it has not had time to deal with it.
In this way, the mysterious person came for this corpse, or rather, he came for the artifact, thinking of his words of "magic weapon suffers", and Sun Baotai's previous incident of locking Jiang Feng's tomb robbery in Heishuimen's hometown, then Su Liqing's identity is somewhat clear.
Retreating left and right, Xindao has time to calculate your old accounts of greedy ink, and instructed Quan Shuisheng to send the relevant information of the past of Heishuimen. When reading about Song Huzong's past, Su Liqing suddenly had an enlightenment.
This may be the second-generation head of the Song Lake Sect, the half-demon Song Weiduo.
Thinking of his tall and unusual figure, as well as the long hair on his arms, the cracked corners of his mouth, and looking at the rough portrait of the second-generation head on the information, as well as the identity of the half-demon, Su Liqing compared this fang with the person in this record, and found that it matched very well.
The question is, isn't he dead? How could he come back to life again? And how did he avoid the influence of the half-demon's bloodline without falling into a state of madness? Su Liqing thought for a long time, puzzled, and the only explanation was that this was the arrangement of fate.
Anyway, what does this matter have to do with me? It's not the tomb I went to rob, if something happens, it's also Jiang Feng's business, I didn't take any of the things, I was there for Leng Tingtao.
However, this matter can't be looked at so simply, Su Liqing thought for a moment, and summoned Quan Shuisheng, "You go to the Imperial Council Division and transport the corpse in the treasury to the vicinity of Shuanglong City." ”
"Double Dragon City?"
"Yes, but it should be done in secret, don't arouse the idea of the monks under Zuo Zichan, just find a few money-greedy ordinary people to deal with it, just bury ordinary corpses. Then," Su Liqing made a downward cutting gesture, "Handle it cleanly, don't let people know that we did it." ”
The sound of dismissal power, Su Liqing calmed down, thinking about the cause and effect before and after, whether it would affect himself, since this mysterious person found here, he should have locked a certain breath of Lei Youqi, and he would not let it go easily, Leng Tingtao took his magic weapon, Jiang Feng was a tomb robber, this time, he sent a little trouble to Zuo Zician in the past, so that he could watch the fire from the other side and go to Qing Yuzong to negotiate the development of trade routes.
It's just that the foreign affairs deacon who was sent to the Qingyu Sect in advance has not yet turned around and reported, but it is a little worrying, Su Liqing thought about it, and decided to go south immediately, the opportunity must not be lost, he must seize the current Qingyu Sect Chuli, Zuo Zicicada and
Leng Tingtao was distracted and weak, so that he could go to negotiate in person and achieve his intended goal, given time, once the Qing Yu Sect inherited in an orderly manner and straightened out various relationships, it would lose this possibility.
As for Jiang Feng, although I don't know if he escaped safely, judging from Sun Baotai and Liu Kuiyi's delay in returning, he has probably escaped and ascended to heaven.
Lucky guy, but not for now. It's just that I don't know if my daughter Su Jin, under such circumstances, can settle down and grab a place in the Qianshan Sect, my daughter is too ambitious, let her go and make trouble for Jiang Feng, and when she reaches an agreement with Qingyu Sect, the Asshan Sect is still a meal on the plate, with meat on the anvil, and wants to escape?
Su Liqing chuckled lightly in his heart, whether it was the Jincheng faction or the Jincheng Alliance, it was just a change of form and expression, which was not much different from his original idea, but would add more room for operation, and all this would only depend on the result of this southward trip.
............
Asayama sect, Kitaki-gun.
Jiang Feng, who arrived here safely, said goodbye to Liao Shencang, and went to the town guard mansion alone, although the appearance is still simple, but this room is better to find than before, but along the way, work is stopped everywhere, compared to the last time he left, it has not changed much, although he has been prepared in his heart, Jiang Feng still feels deeply.
It seems that the agreement reached between the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce and the Chixiamen and the Jincheng League has made the cooperation here come to naught. Jiang Feng found a raised platform, and looked at it, the entire Beimu County was like a half-built construction site, and it was messy everywhere, although the order was still there, and there was no sign of chaos, but it was obvious that the originally conceived Beimu County had returned to the original origin.
calmed down the fluctuating mood, Jiang Feng entered the small town guard mansion, and soon met Wei Jie, the town guard here, Wei Jie's mental state was not bad, but it seemed that all kinds of things here also made her quite troubled.
"It's going to be okay, I'll figure it out as soon as I can. Although there were a lot of touches and losses in his heart, Jiang Feng still had to cheer up to comfort and encourage this seventh-generation head lady who was several times his age.
"It's not bad compared to the past. It's just not what I expected. Wei Jie was not much discouraged, thinking that she was also a character who had experienced a lot of ups and downs, Jiang Feng felt a lot relieved in his heart, if there was another person, such as the newly promoted Xuan-level monk Wei Chengyu, I am afraid it would have been difficult to sit here for a long time.
"The new plan will be decided when I return to Luochuan. Does the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce have an explanation?"
"There are some, but most of them are not followed. It's just that it's still up to the top to decide. ”
"That's good, are their garrison monks still here?"
"I left the day before yesterday, and it is said that I was transferred to Huangshui City. ”
So...... It seems that the layout of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce has begun to be adjusted on a large scale, and Jiang Feng immediately had a realization in his heart, Beimu County is located at the junction of the Qianshan Sect, the Chixia Gate and the Imperial Wind Sect from the perspective of location, and it still has its unique value, but this requires someone to invest a lot of money here in advance, and with the power of the Qianshan Sect, it may be possible to build this place, but when it comes to investment along the trade route, there are still Dayi County and Donghu County, and even Tuqiao Town cannot give up, so it is still necessary to find someone to take over here, on the one hand, I don't know if Qiu Nanjia has a new plan for this, if not, then finding who to continue to operate here has become an urgent problem to be solved。
The Changning Chamber of Commerce and the Funing Chamber of Commerce have already euphemistically stated that they are not much interested in this gateway to enter the Chixia Gate, so finding a suitable target as soon as possible in their existing network to continue the development here has become the first priority at hand.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to persuade Wei Jie, but Guan Qi didn't seem to lose confidence because of this, and at the same time reported all the previous things about cultivating talents, so he abandoned his previous thoughts and instead inquired about the major events that happened in the sect during his departure from the sect.
Zheng Yiyu, Wang Yanzhi.
The two newly promoted Xuan ranks, it is a good result, this time the sect uses people, I think it will be a little more generous, I have always wanted to install monks and deacons in the foreign courtyard, and officially set up the inner door, after the end of this year, it seems that it can be put on the agenda. It's just that the former has changed over time, after the Jincheng faction's **, as well as the melee of the Seven Alliances, the sect that is still good friends with the Assayama Sect has left the Yufeng Sect alone, and the other courtyard that Tu Shan promised has also become an empty talk on paper because of the changes in the Ying Gate. This is completely embarrassing.
"On the other hand, your wife Su Jin brought two Xuan-level monks, Zhao Yunlei and Lu Tianming, as well as eight spirit-level monks, I don't know what plans the head of the sect has for their positions?"
Jiang Feng was suddenly shocked in his heart, he originally thought that Su Liqing would break the contract because of his escape, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually send his daughter here.
What kind of play is this?
But thinking of Su Jin, I want to talk about Mrs., but there is also a Qiu Zhenzhen, how to deal with these two nominal fake ladies?
She seemed to be asking, who is in charge and who is from, and she can't help but secretly wonder in her heart, the other party is watching the lively rhythm and not being chaotic.
