Chapter XXIV: Compensation
On the one hand, Feng Yin did not insist on specific interests and made concessions several times, and on the other hand, he did not give an inch in matters concerning the face of Qingyuanmen.
Before He Zhili came, Wei Zhangmen asked him to act on camera. After today's battle, he felt that the Qingyuan Gate was still a profound foundation, and it was not something that this sect could take now; in addition to the head of the sect, it was already an elite to do its best, and it would be a draw to continue to entangle, and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of occupying the Flame Gate. That being the case, it would be acceptable if a large part of the benefits could be obtained through negotiations.
After less than an hour of discussion, the two sides reached an agreement and quickly wrote down the jade slip in quadruplicate. Among them, the Purple Thunder Gate and the Agni Gate are the two sides of A and B, and the Tibetan Sword Valley and the Qingyuan Gate are the witnesses.
First of all, the agreement emphasized that the Agni Gate was guilty, so it was necessary to apologize to the Purple Thunder Gate, make reasonable compensation, and notify the Northland Immortal Alliance.
Secondly, the agreement provides for the punishment of the Fire Gate. cooperate
It was said that the former head Luo Zhentian was the first person responsible, and it was he who initiated the merger plot and personally implemented it. He was originally going to be sentenced to death, but he had already died during the attack on the Purple Thunder Gate, so he was no longer pursued.
In fact, there are still several people in the Agni Gate who need to be held accountable, but on the one hand, Feng Yin does not want the Agni Gate to be too weakened and tries his best to protect it; on the other hand, Lu Xuan represents the Purple Thunder Gate, the bitter master, although he claims that the rest of the people must be punished, but he only insists on words and has no action to support it; and the Hidden Sword Valley gets the promise of real benefits, so this article is gently let go.
Third, the Flame Gate and the Purple Thunder Sect are both free sects, and they should be in charge of all matters, and other sects are not allowed to participate. Withdraw all expatriate monks who have entered these two sects.
This was Feng Yin's strongest request, and once the monks on both sides withdrew from these two sects, it seemed to outsiders that the Qingyuan Sect had suppressed the Hidden Sword Valley, forcing its sphere of influence to withdraw from Shanyang County. Of course, what agreement there is between the Purple Thunder Gate and the Hidden Sword Valley is not within the scope of consideration here.
He Zhili considered that now was not the time to start a direct war with Qingyuan Gate, as long as he secretly controlled the Purple Thunder Gate, he pretended to oppose it for a while, and agreed to be compensated by the Spirit Stone of the Flame Gate.
Finally, and most importantly, the specific compensation is listed:
First, the flame stone mine was discounted by 50,000 spirit stones and transferred to Zileimen. It was done in three days.
The second is that the Lingshi mine is discounted by 10,000 yuan, and it is also transferred to Zileimen. It was done in three days.
The third is to deliver the spirit stone and the elixir at a discounted price and give the ten thousand spirit stones to the Purple Thunder Gate. It was done in three days.
Fourth, it was judged that the 50,000 spirit stone documents in the hands of the Agni Gate that the Purple Thunder Gate had borrowed from him were forged, and they were taken out and destroyed on the spot, and they could not be investigated in the future.
In fact, He Zhili originally demanded that the three mines of the Agni Gate be compensated, but in this way, the Agni Gate basically became a light pole and could no longer be maintained; after Feng Yin and he fought several times, he kept the Tianlei Stone Mine for the Agni Gate. In this way, the Flame Gate can still be maintained.
In this way, nominally, the Purple Thunder Gate received compensation with a total price of 120,000 spirit stones, and the actual value may be close to 200,000, which can be described as a huge amount of money.
The Flame Gate was bleeding profusely, and the Flame Mine, which was the pillar of the Gate, was let out, and the future was bleak. But it was a great blessing to have saved the mountain gate.
The representatives of the Quartet left their mark on the four jade slips, and the agreement was considered established.
Getting his share of the jade slip, Lu Xuan sneered in his heart, this time the Hidden Sword Valley really used the request of the Purple Thunder Gate as a bargaining chip and exchanged it for the benefits they needed, fortunately, he had a plan, otherwise he would not have to die.
Three days later, Zhang Jiuzhong, as a messenger, personally came to the door to apologize.
In order to keep the sect, the Agni Gate is very active in completing the payment of compensation.
Up and down the Purple Thunder Gate, he scolded him. Many disciples originally hoped to kill all the monks who participated in the killing of the Flame Gate, but in the end, they failed to do so, so naturally they would not have a good face. Lu Xuan had already anticipated this, and he secretly arranged for Hua Zhengxin and others to secretly reveal the details of the negotiation to his disciples, and planted all the mistakes on the head of the Hidden Sword Valley.
And He Zhili had been waiting in the Purple Thunder Gate for a long time, and a supplementary secret agreement had been prepared.
The agreement stipulates that:
The Flame Stone Mine and the Spirit Stone Mine will be transferred to the Hidden Sword Valley with immediate effect.
All the spirit stones and elixirs delivered by the Agni Gate were divided into two, and half of them were transferred to the Hidden Sword Valley.
Lu Xuan looked at it and said with some hesitation: "Hall Master He, it was written in the previous agreement between the two factions that the Spirit Stone Mine belonged to the Purple Thunder Gate. ”
He Zhili snorted, hid the embarrassment on his face, and said, "This, the situation has changed." Previously, the agreement was based on the acquisition of all the Flame Gate assets, and now it is impossible to obtain other assets, and the Hidden Sword Valley has paid a lot this time, and it needs to be rewarded accordingly. ”
Because after Lu Changqing returned to the Tibetan Sword Valley, he was diagnosed with damage to the Qi Sea, and it is estimated that he will not be able to make any progress in his cultivation within fifty years. For the disciple who made such a strong effort, the Hidden Sword Valley naturally had to be appeased, so the head of the sect gave him a high-level secret method, and issued him an elixir worth a thousand spirit stones, and doubled his annual income so that he would no longer complain.
Lu Xuan was puzzled: "Previously, my disciples were very dissatisfied with my failure to insist on punishing the accomplices of the Flame Gate, and it took me a lot of effort to suppress this voice. If I hadn't even gotten the mine I'd heard about beforehand, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public. ”
He Zhili said with a smile: "What is this." Since you are the head of the family, you have the power to be arbitrary, whoever dares to disobey, we will help you suppress it in the Valley of the Hidden Sword!"
Lu Xuan suppressed his anger and said, "Actually, I have always been interested in the Hidden Sword Valley, and it doesn't matter which faction the mine belongs to. However, the agreement between our two factions is actually known to the whole sect, and I am afraid that some disgruntled disciples have already leaked it to the outside world. Now the sects in the two counties are watching, if some of the sects that ride on the wall in the middle know the result, I am afraid it will affect their prospects of standing on the side of the Hidden Sword Valley. ”
He Zhili was stunned, he originally thought that the strength of the Purple Thunder Gate was so weak that he was already planning to disobey the previous agreement, but in Lu Xuan's words, there seemed to be a threat to the outside world that the Hidden Sword Valley would not keep its promise, so it had to be considered carefully.
He Zhili felt that the person in front of him was no longer so reliable, and became hateful: "Hmph." I have a promise in the Sword Valley, how is it unreliable. Master Lu, as a party, you should know the previous situation, and it is really difficult to enforce the agreement. For the sake of the reputation of the Hidden Sword Valley, Master Lu, you take the initiative to declare that you will give up the mine. ”
Lu Xuan was stunned, such a proposal could be said, and the other party was too shameless.
"It's an outside sect that may not believe that this is what the Purple Thunder Sect is willing to do. Second, once I make such a statement, I am afraid that I will be knocked down by my disciples the next day. Don't do anything at this time!"
He Zhili didn't expect Lu Xuan, who had always been obedient, to be so resolute and angry this time.
Lu Xuan didn't say anything, just waited slowly.
He Zhili had a stalemate with him for a long time, constantly calculating in his heart, and in the end, he could only choose to compromise. Originally, he wanted to swallow the Spirit Stone Mine and let the head of the sect see his ability, but the other party actually threatened to destroy the reputation of the Hidden Sword Valley, which was really despicable. It's just that the other party is the first Toucheng sect in Shanyang County right now, so he has to pinch his nose and give him some benefits.
Glaring at Lu Xuan, He Zhili reluctantly revised the agreement.
