Chapter 493: Fish in the Pool
Jiang Feng was about to send someone to look for it, but he saw a fat figure in the distance getting closer and closer, it was Wu Tiande. But I saw that his sweat was raining down, his clothes were wet, and he was panting, but his face was a little colorful.
"Why don't you keep the precepts and take a step slower?" In fact, Jiang Feng didn't want to delve into it in his heart, after all, he was only a few steps slower, but in front of everyone's eyes, for the sake of strict discipline, he still had to ask at least one or two.
"I went and pry the big array. Wu Tiande took out a set of bluestone-colored array plates that seemed to be heavy from the storage bag, as well as six earth-colored order flags, which were suspected to be the core of the large array here, "This array plate can be reused, and it can save a lot of spirit stones for the sect." ”
"Yes, I can think about the sect from time to time, and my heart is commendable. The reproach in Jiang Feng's heart suddenly dissipated, and unexpectedly, Wu Tiande pouted: "Master, how much tribute can this array be worth?"
Bah!
Feeling that you are a laizi, you say that it is for the sect, but in your heart it is all business, Jiang Feng felt that his praise was a little early, but he saw Wu Tiande glancing at Zhao Liangdi in the crowd, "Or fold it into a bride price and distribute it to Liangdi's sister." Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to exchange mengong recently. ”
"The matter is serious, return to the team first, and then discuss it later. Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao stood up in time to break the siege.
"No matter what, with so many people testifying, I don't want to come to the sect and rely on me. Wu Tiande smiled and handed the array plate and the order flag to Wei Ruoguang, the elder of the Gong Transmission on the side, "Elder Wei, you are very skillful, or you can help me put it away, in case I am unfortunate to fold here, I will replace it with a tribute to Sister Liangdi, but if she remarries someone else within three months, it will be forgotten, but she can't be cheap with that little white face." ”
"Laizi, what nonsense are you talking about!" This time, without Wang Xiandao's intervention, there was a coquettish cheer from the crowd, and then it was drowned out by everyone's laughter.
"Let's go!" There was Wu Tiande's gag to adjust the atmosphere, and the gloomy atmosphere that was originally a little gloomy due to the death of his former companions suddenly became much more active.
"No, sir, there's one more thing. But Wu Tiande, who had just squeezed into the crowd, jumped out again, "I tied up Gu Yansi's family of eight, I have to find someone to bring them and the 'long-lived ghost' back, you can't set off with us, otherwise you will miss the trip." ”
Gu Yansi is the foundation building monk that Jiang Feng suddenly gave birth to love and talent, and did not kill him, although he has been taken care of and has no worries about his life, but he still can't act with the army, and although this guy has woken up, he has made it clear that he would rather die than join the service of the Asa Mountain Sect, so he can only temporarily use the spirit sealing talisman to seal his foundation building quadruple cultivation, tie it up and imprison him, and now that everyone wants to leave here, it is a little tricky to deal with.
This is forcing Gu Yansi to comply, Jiang Feng understood the deep meaning of Wu Tiande's move, this kind of dirty work, he wanted to make hundreds of thousands of people do it, but in a hurry, it was too late, he didn't expect Wu Laizi to take the first step, "Since it is Gu Yansi's family, it should be treated well, in your opinion, who is suitable to do this escort work?"
"Naturally, it's Wang Yi!"
"Why?"
"He thinks about my sister Liangdi. This sentence was immediately drowned out by another burst of laughter, and many people began to "angrily scold" Wu Tiande for having no bottom line and announcing personal vendettas, but in fact, no one took it seriously, only listened to it as a joke, only the party Zhao Liangdi stomped his feet again and again, and finally hid behind Xu Xiaofei, full of red tides, and refused to show up again.
This is really your personal opinion, and you don't mean to hide it at all. Jiang Feng turned his head to look at Wang Yi, who was a little embarrassed, although he volunteered to come to the front line, but Fang Cai's fighting method, he really didn't play a role, and even showed a little bit of a sign of pulling his back, but at this time, he couldn't use this excuse to let him leave the team.
"Wang Yi, you have the experience of walking in the outer sect, and I am more relieved that you will indeed handle this matter. Jiang Feng took a set of Tianyin Temple's regular clothes stored in the treasury here, "Escort Gu Yansi to Xiling County, the road is far away, and it is more likely to encounter Tianyin Temple monks, so be careful." ”
Wang Yi listened to the order, although he did not agree with this special task in his heart, but the order of the head of the house was an order, and he could only accept it, but he saw that the head Jiang Feng picked out a set of self-defense armor and iron boots from the seizure.
"Hurry up on the road, if something goes wrong, run for your life!"
"Yes!" he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
Jiang Feng flew into the air, and glanced at the Renshou City that he had just obtained, and felt a lot of regret in his heart, not far from the south of this city, there is still a second-order high-grade spiritual land, and there are several kinds of products nearby, and the spiritual field is even more innumerable, the land of the north-south thoroughfare, the business opportunities are unlimited, but it is difficult for him to defend this place with only a group of subordinates, so he can only give up.
Forget it, wasn't it just to seek the initiative, to run from afar, and come to plunder?
Jiang Feng was relieved in his heart, let go of his obsession, shouted loudly and gave the order "go", and then went straight to the northeast first, according to his plan, Renshou City was lost, and all walks of Tianyin Temple would inevitably dispatch warriors to gather in Renshou City, in order to exterminate his own lone army that dared to go deep into the hinterland to provoke, and his own side should try to avoid confrontation with any support army head-on.
Therefore, it is really the right way to quickly return to the territory of the Qing Yu Sect, and in the position of crossing the river, Jiang Feng chose the middle of the Dustless City and the Qingxin City in advance, and the position of the former is more biased, so that the people of the Asa Mountain Sect can have a short meeting with the Lelinmen Leng Tingtao Department to ensure their own safety.
Since he had set out to leave Thundercloud City before, the empty Thundercloud City was naturally not guaranteed, and when he returned to his teacher at this moment, he would only face off with the monks of Tianyin Temple.
Moreover, an empty city that has run away from even ordinary people has no value in Jiang Feng's opinion.
............
Qing Yu Sect, bluestone terrace.
Li Rulin hurriedly paced out of the temporary military tent of the rear army, and the four prefecture-level cultivators he had just temporarily invited from Lizong Zhenwu City had settled here. The four of them will be responsible for assisting in the defense of this place, of course, staying here to make a strong name is the main mission, not including the fighting method, let alone cooperating with the Lelin Sect to launch an active attack.
Such a contract can effectively reduce the price of employment and make it easier to reach cooperation.
However, Li Rulin rushed to the idea of tricking the other party into the game first, and invited a few people here, with the idea of approaching the goal step by step in his heart, in his opinion, in the bluestone platform, the resistance to persuade the other party to join the battle to help is far smaller than the persuasion in Lizong.
In fact, he is not far from success, three of the four have expressed their position one after another, they can help, but they are not responsible for fighting hard and playing ahead, and the remaining one is still hesitating, but presumably there are some differences in price.
This is already very good, after all, it is just an employment relationship, whether the Jincheng League wins or loses, and whether Lelinmen wins or loses, it has nothing to do with the long-term interests of these four people.
"For each battle, each person will have a one-time additional employment fee of eight to fifteen third-order coins. Li Rulin entered the main account and informed Leng Tingtao of all the conditions and prices he had negotiated, in his opinion, this price was still within the affordable range, after all, the daily cost of hiring these four people ranged from two third-order to four third-order.
"Although I don't agree to fight in the front, but the battlefield is chaotic, how can we divide the front and the back?" Li Rulin leaned closer and added in a low voice, "In this way, with Meng Daxin and you, we have six prefecture-level monks, which is enough to launch an effective attack." I've heard ......"
"You mean Jiang Feng's direct insertion into Renshou City, the hinterland of Tianyin Temple?" Leng Tingtao glanced at the report in front of the case, which was submitted half an hour ago, although it was unknown because of the problem of the intelligence network, but it was still credible, but he had not yet made a noise, Li Rulin knew about it, this was a rare thing.
"Yes, it's not an effective offense, but it's enough to open up the situation. The best defense is offense, and this bluestone platform, once the opponent is out of the nest, it will inevitably be unstoppable. ”
"Have the monks of Dustless City gone to help?"
"Meng Daxin has been in charge, I passed by him when I came, it is observed that someone has left on the other side, there are only two Jin Dan left in the city, and there is not much left in the foundation, so there is no need to worry. This kind of situation is just right for our army to quickly strangle this army with the momentum of thunder, and when they gather again, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the bluestone platform may be able to hold. ”
Leng Tingtao was a little moved.
Six against two, there are indeed some advantages, and among the prefecture-level monks invited by Li Rulin, there is still a ground-level six-level casual cultivator, whose strength should not be underestimated. If you can capture the dust-free city, the seized assets may be able to offset the cost of employment.
It's just that it's impossible to be immortal, and for this reason, he is quite hesitant in his heart. The elite of Lelinmen can fight, but these are the people in front of them.
"Master!" Li Rulin urged softly.
"Let me think about it, and in half an hour, listen to my orders. Leng Tingtao leaned back, he knew the truth that "the time is fleeting", but to make up his mind, he really needs to think twice, this is not like when Su Liqing was on an errand, all losses were borne by the other party, and now, this decision-making power is in his own hands, and the gains and losses are even more in one thought.
Sending away Li Rulin, who was a little excited and full of ambition, Leng Tingtao wanted to summon Meng Daxin, but then remembered that this fang was not enough to win the trust, and the people in his family had always refused to move north from Jincheng to Lelin City, and even refused his request for marriage.
So he called his henchman Lan Gui, who can be regarded as his own family, Lan Gui's two sisters, both in his own house, are now pregnant.
"Boss, I don't think it's a big deal to kill a few people. Lan Gui heard Leng Tingtao's story, and without thinking, he took the first step and said: "The battle of the sect is impossible without death, think about it, at the beginning, the painstaking calculation of the Chixia Sect fell to the Ying Gate, and the fierce battle with the Tianli Gate, how many people died in the Chixia Gate?
"That's true. Although there is no detailed report, but through the news of the Chamber of Commerce, it is enough to prove that what Lan Gui said is true.
"The question is, what can you get in exchange for dying so many people, or spending so much money?" Lan Gui said eloquently, "Except for the area around Taoyuan City, almost all of the homeland of Luoyingmen has been swallowed by Chixiamen, right?
"As you said, Lan Gui, what do you think?"
"Please those four people, I strongly agree, Li Rulin is ashamed of his strategy, but in terms of considering the benefits, I think he miscalculated. Lan Gui made a cup of spiritual tea for Leng Tingtao, and carefully placed it in front of the desk, "Boss, don't be impatient, listen to my analysis for you." Four prefecture-level monks, the cost of a battle is about forty third-order, this year I have searched my intestines and scraped my stomach, trying my best to collect money, in addition to the cost of investing in the shops of Juque City before, there are still one hundred and twelve third-order left, I think I can still afford it, but casual cultivation is casual cultivation, and there is no order to fight, let alone cooperate with the monks of our sect, whether it is victory or defeat, in fact, it is difficult to predict. ”
"We're only talking about the victory. Seeing Leng Tingtao's hesitant expression, Lan Gui also pulled an ordinary chair and sat sideways, "If you win, the materials taken from the monk, according to common sense, whoever kills it belongs to whom, and most of the other party's two Jin Dan's belongings will be obtained by the four scattered cultivators, and the rest of the foundation building materials are not much, so it is not worth calculating." When I capture the Dustless City, the situation of this city, although it is not prosperous, if I can occupy it for more than seven days, I can squeeze out a hundred third-order coins, but if I just loot and then withdraw, I estimate that it should not exceed thirty third-order coins. From this point of view, it was not enough to pay for the four people. ”
"But we will still die, and we will have to pay attention to the families of the deceased monks later, of course, this is a later story, and we can think about it in three months. ”
"Judging from the spirit stone, we have indeed lost, but in the alliance, this should be regarded as a meritorious achievement. Leng Tingtao told him frankly about the fact that the Qianshan Sect went deep into the hinterland of Tianyin Temple, which was in the bluestone platform, and even Meng Daxin did not know about it.
"The shallow mountain sect is broken, so it is natural to go to plunder. Lan Gui disagreed, "Head, you let me be in charge of the treasury and taxes, I naturally know the distress of not having a spirit stone." Their shallow mountain sect's annual income last year will not exceed five third-order, if he doesn't take this opportunity to grab points, what will he do next year, I'm afraid Linggu can't afford to eat it. ”
"If they can grab it, we can't grab it?" Leng Tingtao still moved slightly, "Not far west of the dust-free city, there are two small cities, maybe we can be more radical and have a lot of gains." ”
"But it's also more risky. If too many people die because of this, I am afraid that our Lelinmen's position in the alliance will be shaken. Lan Gui's eyebrows twitched, "This is not the most important thing, master, there is one most important thing that must be considered clearly." If the Jincheng Alliance is victorious, will we get an inch of the territory in the north of Tianyin Temple?"
"Naturally, I can't divide it. We can only ask for it from the Jincheng Sect, the Huanglongmen and the Assayama Sect. ”
"That's it. Lan Gui said, "If the monks of my sect lose too much, will they honestly abide by the agreement in advance and let it out? If there is no income to distribute, will those monks outside be dissatisfied with you?"
Hearing this, Leng Tingtao couldn't sit still, "That's true, uncle, you woke me up with a word." Leng Tingtao changed his name and patted Lan Gui's shoulder, "It's still reliable for your own family." In this situation, uncle, do you have a high opinion?"
"Hold still. Sit back and wait for them to send men and horses to besiege the people of the Asagama Sect. I heard that Jiang Feng's life is also very great, and I must be able to deal with them for a long time. On the other hand, we must strengthen the intelligence work, once Jiang Feng comes and wants to lead the troubled water here, we will immediately retreat. ”
"Will it be accused of being in the alliance?" Leng Tingtao agreed very much in his heart, this coincided with his previous idea of sacrificing the Asa Mountain Sect, including Li Rulin's idea of "showing strength", but it was okay to laugh at the wind and clouds, but it was a bit too much to see death and not save him, and he was quite worried about the pressure in the alliance in the future.
"Even if we are questioned, we can say that we have detected the other party, and we have the idea of breaking into the hinterland of the Qing Yu Sect and rushing to Zhuqiao City. Therefore, he returned to the division to defend. ”
"Good idea. ”
Leng Tingtao stroked his palm, and was silent for a long time, he felt that his uncle's idea seemed to be more stable, although there was no military exploits, but there was no additional risk, it was more conducive to preserving strength, and sat back and watched the remaining sects eliminate each other's strengths, and when the battle situation was decided, he would move around on both sides of the Tuojiang River and fight some grass valleys.
As for Jiang Feng, his thoughts were quite contradictory, he hoped that he and the people of the Assayama Sect would die early, and he also hoped that they could hold on for a long time, so that even if they sat here, they could share the pressure they were under, just like the fish swimming in the pool, let you rejoice, stir up the waves here, and make me calm here.
............
The road back was smooth at first.
Jiang Feng and the others continued to attack Renshou City in the previous rhythm, but during the daytime march, Jiang Feng took care of the speed of the group of spirit-level cultivators, and properly conserved the spiritual power to be prepared.
It turned out that he was right in his decision.
Before he could smell the slightest moisture of the Pantuo River, Jiang Feng saw a person, swaggering, coming from afar, getting closer and closer, stirring up waves of qi between the speeds, and did not hide his whereabouts.
This fang is really a swagger.
Jiang Feng stabilized his figure, it was too late to dodge, he beckoned everyone to line up on the left and right, and protected the one who was slightly inferior in fighting skills behind him, and sat and waited for the person to approach.
"You are Jiang Feng?"
The person who came was nine feet long, his three-foot black hair was tied up and draped, his eyes were bright and starry, his complexion was fair, and his eyebrows were full of courage and heroism.
What a handsome man!
It's a pity that it's friend or foe, Jiang Feng recognized that this person was Jindan Yang Qingze, the proud disciple of Yuanying Gongye Kai.
"Did you wait for Xiao Xiao and loot my Renshou City?" that Jin Dan made a round of inspections, and finally locked on Jiang Feng, the only prefecture-level monk in the team.
