Chapter 527: Dongting Cooperation
Before the heat of the early summer morning had risen, Jiang Feng was already on his way to Dongting Town.
In order to prevent possible dangers, after all, it was a monk from Tianlimen, Jiang Feng still brought the abbot of Kushan Temple, Jindan monk Hongzhi, and law enforcement elder Wei Ruoguang was not inappropriate, but Jiang Feng had already appointed him to escort Zheng Jianbai to Yeyuan Town in the middle of the wasteland.
Before this trip, Jiang Feng also met Yin Du, the little man took the initiative to look for it, he also knew that Jiang Feng was about to travel to the Whale Sea Islands, it can be seen that there is no impermeable wall in the world, this news is very likely to be a problem on the treasure ship's side, after all, there is only more than a month left before departure, and the information of all the passengers on the treasure ship should have been exposed in a small area, Yin can know this, which shows that his information channels are unobstructed, and he has a close relationship with some high-level monks.
"There are indeed a batch of magic weapons, but the prices are not cheap, and you can't take credit if you want to. Jiang Feng still remembered his temptation, and Yin Du just smiled contemptuously at this, "If you can't come back, then I'll fold my money." However, I personally hope that you will come back alive, after all, I have not recovered the principal for the help I did for you before. ”
"You can mention the conditions at any time. At this juncture, Jiang Feng actually hoped that the other party would have an appeal for him, and the more the better, so that the forces behind Yin Du would at least hope that he would be alive, and he believed that among the monks competing for the Heavenly Dao "Heavenly Demon Lone Star", there should be people from the other party.
"Hehe, it's early, don't be in a hurry, you just remember. ”
"I'm going to the Whale Sea, won't you help with something?"
"There is no foil, even if there is a suitable opportunity in front of you, in a hurry, you can't grasp it. However, there is a big opportunity in the Northern Wilderness in May next year, and I can give you a chance at that time. ”
"Are you sure it's not a trap?"
"How could it be?" Yin Du's mysterious smile made Jiang Feng even more convinced that there was an unknown secret hidden in what the other party said, but he knew that the other party would not tell him honestly, so he didn't continue to ask, since it was sent, then he could not accept it, and the initiative was still in his own hands.
Although there was nothing to gain, he was already convinced that Chu Yiming's information was true, and Yin Du's gang had indeed recently smuggled a batch of magic weapons from Nanlu, which must be being secretly sold now.
It's a pity that I didn't cheat.
As for the Whale Sea Islands and the turmoil that may be caused, the forces behind Yin Du should wait and see, and they have not passed themselves to influence the plan of this trip for the time being, which is also a good thing from another point of view. Now in his hands, there is not only the commission of the senior brother Zhao Jiyuan, but also the task of sending the letter of the Evil Monarch of All Spirits, and there is the return of the "Thousand-Faced Shiso True Monarch" who does not know when it will suddenly happen.
There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, and when the sun was tilted, the two of them had already arrived in Dongting Town, it was still early before the time of the meeting, and Ling Xiangju's first-class shopkeeper Kang Daxin had not yet arrived, Jiang Feng simply stayed with Hongzhi in a low-key manner, just waiting for tomorrow's meeting.
............
"Rare guest!"
Jinguang Pavilion, Yinyun City, Mingshan View built by the mountain.
Qin Jiuzhen, who had a restrained breath, invited Luo Junji, the head of the Covering Sea Gate, into the hall, and as for Zhao Zeping, the acting head of the outer room, he had no chance to participate in the talks here, so he could only quietly stay outside the soundproof cover, looking up at the starry sky.
There is no way, even if you are the head, but the gap in cultivation is the gap, real and helpless. Covering the sea gate to visit, this is still rare in the history of Jinguang Pavilion, he knows that the two people in the palace must have secrets to discuss, and it must not be a trivial matter. Fortunately, his mentality was quite correct, and he took a deep breath of the air that had not yet dissipated the heat at night, and then calmed his restless mind, and suddenly thought that what if the ancestor was happy and asked about Song Zixun, the waste of the two Gongsun families had not yet come back.
It won't be killed, no, it shouldn't be, the two Jin Dan are not so weak, no matter how strong Jiang Feng, the head of the Qianshan Sect, is, even if he has a little courage, or relying on Xu Funing's identity, he will not kill the two envoys casually.
............
"Stay!"
Nangong family, Floating Wave City.
Gongsun Mu and Gongsun Shengshi reluctantly took out the documents to prove their identities and registered at the counter of this luxuriously bound inn, because it is a seaport city and not far from Heshan Port, which leads to the open sea, therefore, all accommodation and long-term stays here need to be registered, especially for Jindan Realm and prefecture-level monks, the real number of necessary procedures.
Although the Nangong family itself did not have the care of Yuanying or Pseudo-Heavenly Monks, they had two external monks of the same rank to guard Heshan Port, and this kind of violation of exceeding the highest cultivation of the sect was actually specially approved by the Nine Old Men, in order to facilitate the pacification of the surrounding maritime affairs, avoid chaos, and affect the regular and limited exchanges between the North Continent and the open sea.
"Two seniors, the identity has already experienced. ”
The shopkeeper is a monk in the middle of Qi training, although his face is full of respect, but there is not much awe, in the coastal area of the Nangong family, the monks of the same realm of Jindan can not say much, but there are also a lot, there are always some people who try their luck here, want to take the first step to buy some materials from the sea, and sell them inland, over time, there has been a small underground market here, many people have traveled thousands of miles to get here, and they have made a living from this, and even pushed up the prices of ordinary monks and mundane items here.
"However, the private room you asked for is full. It's just a normal room, okay?"
"Yes. Gongsun Sheng's face was like black coal, and his face was dissatisfied.
"Okay, according to the rules, the two seniors can take two servants to move in, the fourth room of the C, is it okay?"
"Yes. Gongsun Sheng touched the red lacquered wooden card that the other party took out, and went straight to the room without looking back, until the two sat down, and then reluctantly played the soundproof note, and respectfully said to the two monks who pretended to be servants behind him:
"Senior, we have already helped you two cover up your identity, can you let us go as agreed?"
"It's early, it's early. What's the hurry, there's a big chance here soon, why not stay here?" one of them replied unhurriedly, brushing his black and white beard.
Gongsun Mu and Gongsun Sheng glanced at each other, both with bitter expressions, Gongsun Mu, who was older and slightly better in cultivation, said courageously, "The seniors don't know, the two of us are on the orders of Qin Jiuzhen, the head of the Taishang Sect, and go to the Qianshan Sect to do business, if we don't return to the sect for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”
"It doesn't matter. Isn't Qin Jiuzhen concentrating on fusing the Heavenly Dao, and she doesn't have so much time to become a sect. What's more, the two of us don't have much friendship with the head of your family, so we don't care about one more incident. ”
"I don't know what else we need to do next? Gongsun Sheng's face was slightly flustered, he didn't know if it was the mysterious fragment that caused his bad luck, so that at the border of the Ashala Sect, he could meet two Yuanying monks, saying that these two people didn't rob him of anything, but he didn't mean to let him go.
And so on. Don't try to escape, although it is very hard for us to hide and cultivate, it is still easy to catch the two of you in a moment. ”
............
Asa Yama Sect, Dongting Town.
Jiang Feng never thought that Zeng Baoxian, the head of the Chixia Sect, would go with Ling Xiangju's shopkeeper Kang Daxin, and there was also a middle-aged monk with a red face, which was different from the expected appearance of the beast monk's beard and beard, and the appearance of the fairy wind bones, this person had thick hands and feet, and looked like a peasant, but the exposed Jindan cultivation was not fake, and there was even a tendency to surpass the middle section of the Jindan and reach the high stage.
"The head of the Asshan Sect, this is a friend of the Tianli Sect, Xu Xidao. It was not Kang Daxin who made the introduction, but Zeng Baoxian.
"Zeng's family has a wide range of friends. Jiang Feng saluted according to his peer status and invited the other party to the living room, the furnishings here are quite simple, but they are not rude, and it is still the family background left by Le Linmen.
"Hirochi, who was originally a monk of the Kushan Temple of Tianyin Temple, was also a friend of mine for many years. Jiang Feng also introduced his entourage to the three of them, Hongzhi had already changed into the robe of the Assayama Sect, but the newly created red sand rosary in his hand could show his past identity to some extent, which was also a sign of the high-level of the Kushan Temple, and he also prepared a string of longer ones for Jiang Feng, which was enough to wrap three circles around his wrist, but if he didn't go to the courtyard of the Kushan Temple, Jiang Feng generally didn't wear it on his body, after all, that thing was just a spectacle, and it wasn't even a first-order magic weapon.
Jiang Feng felt that if he had a chance, he should still let Fang Jinlu make a few decent rosaries, preferably the kind that could show miracles, so that they could be displayed in front of the believers, which would also be very beneficial to enhance the prestige of the Kushan Temple.
"Master Jiang is good at planning. Zeng Baoxian smiled and didn't comment too much, "The reason why I walked with Xu Daoyou was because I heard by chance that you were going to rent a spirit beast, so I followed, I don't know why Master Jiang is so anxious, if there is any difficulty, I can also contribute some meager strength." ”
Nothing to do.
Jiang Feng was clear about this, Zeng Baoxian showed favor first, there must be something waiting for him behind, he suspected that it was mostly related to the matter of Chixiamen's entry into the alliance, but since this matter was not explicitly stated, he did not make it clear, so he said bluntly, "It is indeed a bit urgent, but Ling Xiangju mentioned the rules of meeting, so I chose to talk here, I don't know if Xu Daoyou has any additional requirements, and in addition, is the deposit negotiable?"
"You killed Ma Shikai, right?" Unexpectedly, Xu Xidao did not answer, but asked this question directly.
"There are some causes and effects, but they are all in the past. Of course Jiang Feng won't admit it, not in the past, and not now. Although it seems that Xu Xidao is not asking.
"Very good, although you don't want to say it, I have some old grudges with Ma Shikai, so in this matter, I also admit your affection. The 'Golden Shell Jade Neon Dragon Lizard' can be rented to you. ”
"What about the rent?"
"The rent can't be less. ”
It's useless to accept my affection, Jiang Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart, but Kang Daxin on the side took over the topic, "If Master Jiang agrees to the cooperation of Dongting Town, I think this fee can be paid by us." The deposit could not have been waived, but the head of Zeng said he could vouch for you. ”
"Take a step to speak. Jiang Feng realized that the key to this room seemed to be Zeng Baoxian, otherwise he would not have followed, and the two of them walked out of the living room one after the other and flew straight to the nearby hill.
"Boss Zeng, let's just say something directly. ”
"Master Jiang is really fast-talking. Zeng Baoxian smiled and unhurriedly put away the folding fan in his hand, "Ling Xiangju's matter is a trivial matter, and Xu Xidao is also my only friend in Tianlimen, so I have enough influence in this matter." ”
"Will you sabotage?"
"No, why should I be a bad person and do good things? It seems that Master Jiang has a deep misunderstanding of me. ”
"I think you should understand what I'm saying. ”
"I sincerely apologize for the past. But now, I hope to work with Mr. Jiang to create a better future. ”
"Joining?"
"That's right, frankly speaking, Tianlimen has been moving frequently recently, and the pressure on Chixiamen is very high, so we also need to find a big tree to enjoy the shade. On the other hand, if we are attacked by the Tianli Gate, or cooperate with the Tianli Gate, the pressure of the Jincheng Alliance, including the pressure of the Asa Mountain Sect, will also be not small, I think, Master Jiang should understand this truth, right?"
"I believe that with the leadership of Zeng Zhang, the Chixia Gate should not be so weak, or willing to be the knife of the Tianli Gate. ”
"There is a give-and-take. ”
"If the Asa Mountain Sect agrees to the Chixia Sect to join the alliance, what can the Chixia Sect provide?"
"As far as Master Jiang is concerned, I can persuade Xu Xidao to cooperate and provide a better fourth-order 'Golden Shell Jade Neon Dragon Lizard', which must be more in line with your mind than those third-order demon beasts. ”
"For personal gain, I don't think there is any chance that this matter will be negotiated. "Jiang Feng didn't want that demon beast, but let him sell the interests of the sect for his personal interests, he was a hundred unwilling, which would also make his reputation in the Council of Elders drop a lot, over time, this kind of defect in private morality will most likely detonate the crisis of the sect.
"The two sects can share the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, of course, this premise is that Ling Xiangju's cooperation can be reached, at the junction of Guizong, Chixiamen and Huanglong Sect, demarcate 150,000 acres of barren land to Ling Xiangju, and help them build a large enclosure for domesticating demon beasts, how about it? The Qianshan Sect and the Huanglong Sect are both 40,000 mu, and the Chixiamen is 70,000 mu, of course, if the head of Jiang is willing, I can give up another 10,000 mu of share, and the annual rent, although it is not much, but it is also a lot, after all, the barren land is left there, it is the barren field, and it will never give birth to spirit stones by itself. ”
"It seems that the head of Zeng is very concerned about this matter. ”
"Business is the best means of cooperation. ”
"Forty thousand acres is fine, but Ling Xiangju must hire my sect's laymen and monks. ”
"Naturally, my considerations are the same as yours, so I deliberately set aside such a large piece of land for them, and they can't eat it at all with their own hands. ”
Can't eat...... Zeng Baoxian's idea was really clever, he didn't expect it, Jiang Feng couldn't help but secretly admire the other party's strategy in his heart, and while thinking about the feasibility of this matter, he actually cared more about the proposal to share the library pavilion, in this way, it was also very beneficial to the promotion of the monks of the Asshan Sect, but it lacked some unique skills, once the two sects fought, people might see through the weakness in advance.
There are pros and cons, and the same is true for the other party.
"Ground-level mental method, I hope that the number you can provide is more than the number of the shallow mountain sect. Jiang Feng didn't want to suffer, although he knew that the other party should have more prefecture-level mental methods than the Qianshan Sect, he still had to add a sentence, lest the other party take advantage of this rule and take advantage of the Qianshan Sect.
"This is natural, the Chixia Sect has six local-level and the same level of mental methods available, I think it should be enough, right?"
"Okay, in this way, if I can provide my sect with twenty fourth-order interest-free loans, I can support your sect to join the alliance. ”
"Ten pieces. Master Jiang's appetite is too big, isn't it?"
"Ten pieces are fine, but they will be returned after three years, in four years, how about it?"
"Yes. Zeng Baoxian agreed simply this time, but he immediately said, "In addition, in the matter of Tianlimen, I think we still have a chance to cooperate." ”
