Asagama sect, Spiegel Division.

Zheng Yiyu, a newly promoted Xuan-level monk and deacon, was frowning, listening to his subordinate Niu Ermei's eyebrows dancing, spitting and talking about the gossip in the courtyard of the Rolling Shutter Division, but the little guy outside suddenly spread that Li Youde, the town guard of Nuangu County, came to ask to see him.

What is he doing here?

Zheng Yiyu asked in his heart for the first time, listening to what Niu Er said just now, he made trouble in the Rolling Shutter Division and asked to see the head, and this guy was also involved, he was thinking about it recently, the head of the house mentioned his own things through the "Thousand Miles of Yin-Yang Mirror", how to start, after all, the head Jiang Feng has not shown up in Luochuan for many days, and there are indeed some rumors that are unfavorable to the head of the house have reached his ears, and he also sent people to investigate, but he did not find the person who deliberately spread it, and now, this move of his Li Youde and Rui Jinmen envoy made Zheng Yiyu immediately think of the reminder of the head of the house.

"Come in, please. ”

Compared with the ordinary people in the sect, Zheng Yiyu did not dare to hold it up, after all, Li Youde not only cultivated to the same Xuan level, but his position was not lower than his own, but one person was responsible for governing the local county and town, and the other was on an errand in the six divisions of the sect, and the intersection of Pingsuli could not be regarded as small, but Nuangu County was located in the southwest hinterland, even if it was some distance away from Lizong, compared to the surrounding areas of Dayi County in the north, the situation was much simpler, so Zheng Yiyu did not have many opportunities to go to Nuangu County.

"Deacon Zheng is polite. ”

The smile on Li Youde's face bloomed, which also made his dark circles look very eye-catching, according to the etiquette of monks of the same level, he clasped his fists and saluted, he was originally much higher than Zheng Yiyu's cultivation, but Zheng Yiyu has recently been promoted to the new Xuan-level realm, whether it is his position or cultivation, he can be on an equal footing with him.

"Li Zhenshou is a rare guest, I, the Spiegel Division, ordinary people are not willing to come. Why, just now you brought outsiders to break into the Rolling Shutter Division, can you get your wish?"

"Deacon Zheng, don't make fun of me, I am also because of the old friendship, when I was in Lizong before, I used to get acquainted with those two envoys from the Ruijin Gate, so I have some personal friendship, I don't know that they will be so rude, otherwise I will not go with them. ”

Li Youde remembered what Jiang Feng had told him at the beginning, thinking that he couldn't reveal his Yufeng Sect's heels, so he shirked that it was just an old friendship, in fact, the envoy of the Rui Jinmen also showed Li Yufeng's warrant, so he reluctantly walked with him, otherwise, he would rather see the excitement in the periphery, after all, when he came, Li Wengu and Li Youyou had already analyzed it for themselves, and this time they came to Luochuan, but they just needed to not suffer losses once things changed.

"Really?",

Zheng Yiyu habitually stared at Li Youde, until the other party couldn't bear the look in his eyes, pretended to taste the spiritual tea, then nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth wrinkled, and said with a smile, "It seems that I am a little wrong to blame Li Zhenshou, what's the matter, come to me today, do you have a business trip?"

"Not on a business trip, but there is a private matter. ”

"It's not okay to be private, I have rules here. Zheng Yiyu's face was solemn, he was usually in the Spiegel Division, and he never dealt with private matters, this was a rule he had set, not only requiring his subordinates to abide by it, but also abiding by it himself.

"It was Deacon Wang Yi who asked me to ask. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Yiyu couldn't help but feel a little sudden in his heart, Wang Yi is the deacon of the Rolling Shutter Division, what will happen to Li Youde looking for him, and Wang Yi pushes me here?

"That's the case, I want to marry a female cultivator from a foreign sect as the wife of the main family, I don't know what is special about the internal rules of the sect? I heard that the head of the sect still has special requirements in this regard. ”

There are no provisions, only the age of the monks of this sect has been required, Zheng Yiyu originally subconsciously wanted to answer like this, but he immediately became vigilant, just now, Li Youde and the envoy of the Ruijin Gate were making trouble in the courtyard of the Rolling Shutter Division, in order to find the whereabouts of the master, and now he came to ask this question, is he still asking the location of the head in disguise? However, he did not show the slightest hesitation, and took the short break between bowing his head and drinking tea, thinking about how to answer this matter, and then replied calmly, " Your identity is special, so this kind of thing, most of the time, you have to discuss one thing at a time, and after the head returns, you can go to the head in person. ”

"Then when will the head of the sect come back?" Li Youde turned to ask this question.

"The head didn't say a specific return date, but a few days ago, when I told him the news of my promotion to the Xuan level, he said that he wanted me to prepare one or two, and when he came back to hold a small meeting, presumably, it won't be long before he returns to Luochuan. ”

"It's natural, it's natural, it's very human, I understand. Li Youde nodded again and again, from Zheng Yiyu's words, he found out that the other party and the head of the family have been in contact recently, and the new lady of the head of the house, a female cultivator named Su Jin, also said that the head of the house is temporarily living in the Jincheng faction, and it seems that the head of the house is mostly fine, so Li Yufeng is too worried. Thinking about it, this matter may need to be communicated with the envoy of Ruijinmen, counting most of the previous loans that have not been repaid, and also repaying Li Yufeng's kindness for saving him before.

"In that case, then I'll wait for the news of the master, it's not unusual to leave the other party around, I can afford to wait, and I'm not in a hurry. However, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to arrange for her to live in Warm Valley County temporarily, right?"

"This is naturally okay, which girl is it? How is the cultivation?" Zheng Yiyu was also quite curious.

"The eldest daughter of Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng faction, Su Qiong, is cultivated as a Xuan-level triple. ”

When Zheng Yiyu heard this, he was really shocked in his heart, how could this Li Youde hook up with this Xuan-level monk so quickly...... In other words, Su Qiong has also been here for a few days, and, in this case, wouldn't the head of the family and Li Youde become a brother-in-law?

OK

, Fang Cai didn't rashly say that "there are no special regulations for marrying women from other sects in the sect", thinking about how correct this decision is, otherwise, you have to find a way to maneuver, Wang Yi, this kid, also saw this, so he pushed this thorny problem to me, right?

No, Wang Yi shouldn't be so clever, otherwise, how could the girl of the Zhao family belong to something else, and go to be with Wu Laizi, she would have been deceived by him a long time ago, and this must be Jiang Hai's idea. It seems that Li Youde doesn't really want to make trouble, so the problem lies with these two Ruijinmen envoys.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yiyu immediately had a clear understanding, and planned in his heart, how could he dig out something from these two Ruijinmen envoys, but now he has a more important matter, he needs to go to Tuqiao Town in the east to investigate, and the matter here can only be entrusted to a few ordinary people.

............

Rui Jinmen, Jinchuan City.

Foreign Affairs Elder Li Yufeng was handling a number of official documents in front of the case, but a subordinate presented a report, he leaned back, glanced up, and was sure that the person who came was indeed his cronies, so he calmed down.

Recently, several inexplicable assassinations against the elders and important officials in the sect** made him extremely nervous, as a Xuan level, he still does not have enough self-preservation, although these cases are being investigated, and some clues have been found, but most of them point to seeking money, he does not believe this reason, at least not to believe it.

If it is really for the sake of wealth, in the east of Ruijinmen, at the junction with the Yufeng Sect, there have been a large number of outlaws and scattered cultivators gathering for thieves recently, and there are far more opportunities to make a fortune there than in this Jinchuan City, he is more suspicious that the various families who originally supported the sect were not satisfied after the division of the interests of the sect was completed, and everyone felt that they had taken less, so they were secretly pouring into each other, wanting to reduce the partners who shared the profits.

These wild ways are also ruthless enough.

In particular, when Ruijinmen tried its best to cut off the financial route of the Imperial Wind Sect, it also damaged the interests of his own people, and the trade route was unimpeded, which was beneficial to all the people in all links, and the trade route was cut off for a long time, which also cut off everyone's financial route. To say that the Imperial Wind Sect is divided into two, and the people are also divided into two, although each has its own master, each has its own government, but it is actually a family, and the relationship between the lotus root and the threaded connection cannot be regarded as too little, and the respective needs in business are even more.

Not everyone is like him, he has a generous friend like Li Xianwu, but he openly blackmailed him in the name of borrowing money, and it was only once, and this was because he rescued him back then and sent him out of the Imperial Wind Sect, since he changed his name to Li Youde, he must also want to draw a line with the past.

Therefore, Li Yufeng put himself in his shoes, whether he should persuade the head Xu Youjing to no longer spend money to ban the trade routes of the Imperial Wind Sect, which is particularly important for stabilizing the situation of the Ruijin Gate, with the existing accumulated financial resources in the sect, it is impossible to support this kind of "punishment" for a long time, it is not difficult to persuade Xu Youjing himself, after all, he pursues the Great Dao wholeheartedly, and most of the affairs in the sect are entrusted to him and the elders, as long as the result is good, he does not care whether the reversal will damage the prestige of his leader. However, the one who made this decision at the beginning had his own share, and Li Yufeng needed to convince more than himself.

I was about to open the report to take a closer look, but a deacon of foreign affairs came to report that there was an old man who claimed to be the Imperial Wind Sect and asked to see him.

The old man of the Imperial Wind Sect?

When Li Yufeng heard this title, several monks appeared in his heart in turn, but they were quickly eliminated one by one, and those who were friendly with him were either already in Ruijinmen or died in Jindu City.

"What cultivation?"

"It should be at the prefecture level. ”

"You stay, you know the rules here, they can enter your ears, and they stop at your mouth. Li Yufeng explained to this Xuan-level subordinate, it is really an eventful time at this time, one more Xuan-level is beside him, presumably even if the other party makes a sudden move, he can also work hard to maneuver one or two, and then call more people to help, the two are now because of the trade route, there are many grudges, it is better to be careful.

The monk who claimed to be the "old man of the Imperial Wind Sect" entered the door, and when he saw Li Yufeng and the nervous monk guarding behind him, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, "Brother Yufeng, when did you become so careful. He took off the hood that was isolated from detection, revealing a face familiar to Li Yufeng.

"Gu Chuanfu, it turned out to be you, I didn't expect you to have an entry on the avenue. ”

"It's me. Brother Yufeng, don't come unharmed. ”

"Each other, you are the foreign affairs elder of the Imperial Wind Sect, why don't you take a formal official visit and sneak here, what advice do you have?"

"Sneak, do I need this?" The aura on Gu Chuanfu's body leaked out in an instant, and the ground-level coercion made the Xuan-level entourage behind Li Yufeng couldn't help but take half a step back, but Gu Chuanfu's aura did not continue to move forward, but suddenly converged a lot, "You should know that the current relationship between the two sects cannot go through a formal official document." ”

Scold!

Li Yufeng chuckled, knowing that what the other party said was true, in fact, when blocking the other party's trade routes, the other party was also secretly sabotaging his own efforts everywhere, and he even suddenly doubted whether there was a shadow of the other party in the chaotic situation on the eastern border, and in the recent assassination ** in the sect, whether the other party was secretly instigating, but these were just suspicions, and there was no evidence. Most of the official contacts between the two sects have been severed, and in terms of foreign affairs, there is not even a formal foreign court.

"Take a step to speak. Gu Chuanfu looked at the trembling entourage behind Li Yufeng

, "Brother Yufeng, you won't be afraid of me, a newly promoted prefecture-level monk, right?"

"Go and entertain the messenger who asks for the fire gate. Li Yufeng was not pinched by the other party's words, but since the person who came was Gu Chuanfu, he thought that there might be something special, although this guy was an elder in foreign affairs, he had always worked for the Ling family, and he had little to do with Mu Qianxue, the head of the Imperial Wind Sect.

The waiter behind him was relieved, and hurriedly left carefully, Gu Chuanfu sensed that the other party had gone away, so he made a note to isolate the two from the outside world, "I came here because of a private matter." ”

"Speak!" Li Yufeng felt that what he expected was true, this ancient blessing should be for Ling Feidu.

"I'd like to take something out of the 'Ice Rift Valley', and no one else will know about it. ”

Ice Crack Valley? Li Yufeng silently recited this unfamiliar name, and immediately remembered that this place should be located at the critical point between the east and the Imperial Wind Sect, the northern edge of the Huoyun Ridge, close to his side, and it was also the only deep valley here that was frozen all year round.

"What's the benefit?" Li Yufeng asked subconsciously.

"Not yet, but on behalf of Ling Shao, I can grant you a request that is not too excessive in the future. ”

"Then I refuse. Everything is discussed, and it must be fulfilled now. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. Li Yufeng simply rejected Gu Chuanfu's proposal, this kind of secret thing that no third party knows, who can guarantee that the other party will keep his promise afterwards.

"You can mention the conditions. Gu Chuanfu's face did not change, and he still maintained a warm and warm smile, "But not too much." I mean, you and I are still in a hostile state now, and Ling Shao, who is not the head of the Imperial Wind Sect, can't do anything too out of the ordinary, do you understand?"

"On the third day of the first month of next month, at the ten-year distribution meeting on the four spiritual stone veins in the sea area of the Troubled Stone Sea, you will stand on the same line with my Ruijinmen. ”

Li Yufeng thought about it, there is only one exchange of interests that can be sought recently, as for the others, either it is too obvious and public, or the interests are too big, or too long, the distribution of interests in this chaotic sea area involves Ruijin Gate, Qiuhuo Gate, Vantage Gate, Xingyi Gate, Dongquan Mountain and Tianli Sect six sects, when the Imperial Wind Sect was still there, the distribution of rights and interests in this inland sea has always been decided by the two strongest sects, the Imperial Wind Sect and the Tianli Sect, and now the Imperial Wind Sect is split into two families, and the strength has become weaker, he has detected in advance, the Huadi Gate intends to replace the Imperial Wind Sect, and the Tianli Sect has reached an agreement in advance, if the Imperial Wind Sect cooperates with the Ruijin Gate in this matter, plus the Fire Seeking Gate that he has recently connected, then he can probably take a normal proportion of the benefits, referring to the current situation, it is also a good result.

"But, I can call the shots in this matter. As an elder of foreign affairs, Gu Chuanfu will naturally participate in this matter personally, and he also knows what Li Yufeng pointed out that when the time comes, the two of them will perform a scene together, which should be more harmonious, and will not let outsiders see that there is a hint of an agreement in advance.

"One more thing. Li Yufeng immediately remembered another thing, if it weren't for the cooperation of the Imperial Wind Sect, maybe it would be difficult for Ruijinmen to profit alone.

Although he said, the premise is that Ling Shao still does not need to come forward. ”

"South of Huoyun Ridge, you know about the warm red wetland, right?"

"Naturally, the twenty-year period is coming soon. Gu Chuanfu's eyes showed a faint expectation, and his expression was like looking at an ordinary farmer in a wheat field.

"How about you and I divide the two sects into five or five to avoid other sects. ”

"This needs to be discussed, after all, we need to spend everywhere now, maybe Master Mu will release some places. However, since you mentioned it, I think at least we will find a way to avoid unnecessary fights over this matter, and to clear out all the outsiders in advance. ”

"Okay!" Li Yufeng understood what the other party meant, and the implication was that this matter, Gu Chuanfu couldn't be in charge, and Ling Feidu couldn't either, because there were too many interests involved in the sect, "Then first encircle and suppress the scattered cultivation here, about the matter of the chaotic stone sea, you need to make an oath." ”

"You-"

"Extraordinary times, no way. Li Yufeng pretended to wave his hand helplessly, "Recently, many people don't talk about credit, so there's no way." He stretched out his hand and motioned for Gu Chuanfu to take the first step to make a soul vow.

Hum!

Gu Chuanfu snorted in his nostrils, and made a few oaths that were not too harsh, and Li Yufeng was the same, he was also an elder in foreign affairs, knowing that the other party was a master of lies, and he had an oath to guarantee, which was also a little more trust, Li Yufeng knew that Gu Chuanfu was just for private matters and would not stay too long, so he was not polite, and sent the other party wearing a hood out of the hall, so he stayed alone in the porch window for a while, thinking about the impact of this matter.

Maybe when this matter is over, we can talk about the reopening of the two trade routes, he thought to himself, but he just needs to do some foreshadowing in the sect in advance. However, what is there in the "Ice Crack Valley", which is worth Gu Chuanfu to come and run in person, I need to go in advance.

Putting down the matter, he remembered that he still had a piece of information from the south that he hadn't read, turned around and returned to the front of the case, unfolded the information written in secret language, and took out a book of Zhiwei named "Three Views of the Hero" from the storage bag, and carefully translated it.

This Jiang Feng is not even dead, and he is a guest at the Jincheng faction? Only halfway through the translation, Li Yufeng couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the information in his heart, these two stupid guys with white-collar salaries, haven't they figured out this matter yet, is it possible, do you still need me to exchange some information with the Jincheng faction again to get accurate information?
