Chapter 963: Gambling
In the small courtyard where Li Xiaoyi once lived, now it was full of smoke, and Ren Xiaoran sat alone on the flower bed to practice qi.
A busy figure is busy before and after, and glances out of the window from time to time.
With a little expectation, that familiar figure can appear here again.
Ren Xiaoran didn't seem to have any intention of practicing again, opened his eyes and looked at the figure, then looked at the getting darker, and finally looked at the only gardenia in the flower bed, full of thoughts and didn't say a word.
And as the fragrance wafted in, when the sunset finally sprinkled its last rays of brilliance, Chen Yueling beckoned Ren Xiaoran into the house.
She looked at a table of carefully prepared eaters: "I'm afraid he won't come today." ”
Chen Yueling reached out and stroked the somewhat messy hair on Ren Xiaoran's forehead, and said with a slight smile: "If he doesn't come, let's eat." ”
The latter rolled his eyes: "You didn't tell him that you cooked a meal and waited for him, how could he come." ”
Chen Yueling still smiled and said, "It will come." ”
Ren Xiaoran sighed a little speechlessly, just staring at the burning candle, not knowing what he was thinking.
But at this moment, the door of the courtyard outside the house was pushed open at this time, and the person who came walked straight to the direction of the house without the slightest disguise.
Ren Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then when she looked at Chen Yueling again, her face was already filled with an extremely warm smile......
When Qingyun Mountain, Mr. Miaoke, and Thunder Elder Dao arrived here, it meant that negotiations between them and the new alliance began.
The two sides of each side have ghosts, racking their brains to maximize their interests, but fortunately, they are extremely familiar with each other before this, and there is not much fighting.
On the other hand, Tianchen Zhenren was already mobilizing the cultivator camp and preparing to launch an attack on Shushan.
When Thunder Lao Dao and Mr. Miao Ke got the news, the two just glanced at each other, and they both saw three words from each other's eyes, impossible!
The scene of the Battle of Shushan is still vivid, and the strength of the Ichthyosaurus Clan is still deeply imprinted in their minds today.
An alliance built by scattered cultivators, the eighteen gates of the Dao Gate only belong to half of the number, there is a shortage of high-level cultivators, and the magic weapons and equipment are even better, even the most basic orders and prohibitions can barely be done.
Facing the main force of the Ichthyosaur Clan, these two really couldn't imagine where Tianchen Zhenren's confidence came from.
In the final analysis, this so-called new alliance was still born out of the former Dao Sect, and comparing the two, neither the number of high-level cultivators nor the quality of middle- and low-level cultivators were comparable.
Even the dragon boat warships, the number now owned by the new alliance is less than half of the Daomen, and most of them are scarred, and some are even forcibly built by patchwork, not to mention any combat power.
And compared with the Ichthyosaurus clan, there is no need to say any details, just the situation and results of several wars are enough to explain the problem.
Starting from Tianmu City, the Daomen led by the Shushan Sword Sect have always been in a situation of passive beating, until the Mountain Gate was broken and the alliance disintegrated, except for defensive battles, the so-called large-scale offensive did not exist in the dictionary of Daomen at all.
And the posture of the new alliance now is just because of that sudden victory, and it will not swell at this time, so Mr. Miao Ke discussed with Thunder Lao Dao and opened a gambling agreement with Tianchen Zhenren and Qin Fengdi.
As for the stakes, it is a resource that the two sides have been arguing about at the moment.
The attitude of Mr. Miao Ke and Thunder Veteran is obvious, they can only come up with so much, and the new alliance wants twice as much as all the supplies on this list.
So the old Daoist of Thunder said with a rather unkind face: "The appetite of Tianchen Daoist is a little too big!"
The latter smiled slightly, and said without being angry: "Why did Thunder Daoist say this? What I want now is less than half of the Dao Sect back then, not to mention that we don't tell lies, isn't there any other purpose for you to support the new alliance so much?"
Qin Fengdi on the side said in a tone full of mockery: "Use us as a shield, and exchange the lives of the new alliance for your stability, and in your eyes, these people's lives are so worthless?"
This could not be more direct, where could the old thunder Dao hear this, and suddenly, he waved his hand and slapped it on the white jade table, which immediately exploded in pieces.
Squinted his eyes and said, "What kind of bastard are you talking about, do you really think that the entire cultivation realm is covered by you? If you think that you can do whatever you want by establishing this so-called new alliance, you can come to our Dragon Tiger Mountain to try!"
"I have this intention early tomorrow, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today it's up to you and me to give it a try!" Qin Fengdi didn't show weakness, and didn't care about the old way of thunder at all.
The momentum has the meaning of doing it immediately if it doesn't agree with a word, but it was dragged by Tianchen Zhenren, and the thunder old Taoist had been so angry that he wanted to do it on the spot, but he was tightly pulled by Mr. Miaoke: "Thunder Daoist, don't be brave, you must focus on the overall situation!"
Tianchen Zhenren was also persuading Qin Fengdi, and in his heart, he really thought that these two could fight to the death at this time, but when he thought of the new alliance, he resisted the urge to sow discord, and persuaded him with good words.
Mr. Miao Ke suddenly proposed: "Why don't we make an oath and bet, if the new alliance can recapture Shushan, all the previous conditions will be agreed!"
Qin Fengdi shook off Tianchen Zhenren's hand and glared at Lei Ting Zhenren defiantly: "It's so best, let you see how strong our new alliance is!"
Thunder Lao Dao's face was full of coldness, and his eyes showed a cold light and said unceremoniously: "What Senior Brother Miao Ke said just now, I also promised in the next place, if you can really take back Shushan, I will agree to all the conditions you just opened!"
Tianchen Zhenren smiled, made a round, and asked everyone to sit down again, and then said: "Since the two Daoists can make this bet on behalf of the Daomen sects, the old man will follow, and he will also want the people of the world to see if the strength of the new alliance is worthy of their trust." ”
"In that case, let's write a book with a blood contract, so that no one can break the promise!" Mr. Miao Ke was thoughtful, and when he had this idea, he had already begun to think about how to make this bet valid.
And Tianchen Zhenren really took the bait, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but be shocked from the bottom of his heart.
With his understanding of Tianchen, the old fox, this is a very deep city, and he has always been cautious in what he thinks and does, otherwise he can't expand a separate body that only exists in scattered cultivation to the entire Dao Gate.
Is there any hole cards he doesn't know about?
