The sky was slightly bright, and Chang Feng, who had been cultivating all night, withdrew from the white jade stick space, rested for a while, and then walked out of his room and came to the meeting hall of the Yibao branch, where Zheng Shanlong, Lu Guang, and Liang Xia, the three responsible elders of the three major fang cities, were already waiting.

Seeing the arrival of Changfeng, Zheng Shanlong immediately handed over his hand and reported: "My lord, the resource auction organized by the Nanban Yuan Silkworm Department was held today, and the invitation card and the corresponding lot have been sent to us. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Shanlong handed Chang Feng a wooden invitation card and a jade slip with a record of the lot.

He already knew that the Nanban Yuan Silkworm Department was going to organize a resource auction, so he was not so surprised, he didn't check the invitation, Chang Feng took the jade slip and probed into the divine sense to check, and only withdrew after half a moment, but he frowned slightly and said with surprise: "So many lots?

Obviously, the auction held by the Nanban Ministry this time surprised Chang Feng with the number and type of resources.

Lu Guang on the side then introduced: "My lord, among the nine tribes of the Southern Barbarians, the Yuan Silkworm Department is the absolute leader, this time I personally came forward to organize, and the other eight departments participated one after another, so the scale and number are very large. ”

"My lord, Nanban has already invited people from the Seven Kingdoms, the Five Sects and Four Families, and other foreign clans, as well as many large and small forces that can be stationed in the Great Wilderness City to participate in the resource auction, how to act, please ask your Excellency for instructions?" Liang Xia agreed, and asked for Chang Feng's opinion by the way.

After a little thought, Chang Feng then gave an order:

"Elder Zheng, report to Hall Master Sun to bring the spirit stone, let's go to the auction held by the Nanban Department, Elder Lu Guang and Elder Liang, you go and invite Elder Wei Fo and Elder Zhu Bailing respectively, and invite them to participate in the auction together. ”

"Half an hour later, we will meet here, and we will rush to the auction ground set up by the Southern Barbarian Department in the Great Wilderness City. ”

Hearing Chang Feng's orderly arrangement, the three elders answered at the same time, and then turned around and left to prepare.

But Chang Feng sat on the seat and frowned slightly and whispered: "With so many resources at one time, what does the Southern Barbarian Department want to do?"

The barbarians are located in the south of the Chu State, the south of the Shanhai Country Continent, because of the terrain and environment, they are divided into nine tribes, and the nine tribes have their own leaders, but they all recognize the leadership of the Yuan Silkworm Department.

The barbarian mountains and forests and poisonous mist rainforests, as well as many geographical environments, have created rich resources for the barbarians, and they also have many unique resources in the immortal cultivation world, which have become the objects of competition and purchase by various forces.

However, because there are some contradictions between the nine tribes of the Southern Barbarians, most of the ministries act alone, and often the transaction volume of resources is not large, like today, the auction meetings organized by the Yuan Silkworm Department to participate in all barbarians can be described as very rare.

When Chang Feng, Wei Fo, Zhu Bailing, Zheng Shanlong, Lu Guang, Liang Xia and other people from the Xuantian Sect appeared in the auction hall set up by the Southern Barbarian Department in the south of the Great Wilderness City, there were already representatives of all forces gathered inside.

Not only the forces of the rivers and lakes such as the Five Sects and the Four Families, but also the forces of the Seven Kingdoms of Mountains and Seas such as the Hu and Rong tribes also sent people to participate, sitting in their designated positions, waiting for the auction to begin, obviously full of interest in the resources that the Nanban Department was preparing to sell this time.

After coming to the seat area specially designated by the Southern Barbarian Department for the Xuantian Sect and sitting down, Chang Feng nodded with Shan Hong, the head of the Yibao Branch of the Wanxing Sect, and Tie Shu, the head of the Netherworld Sect, who were sitting on the left and right, and said hello.

Turning around the auction hall and seeing many familiar faces, Chang Feng said with emotion: "Hey, so many forces are all here to participate in the auction?

"It seems that the barbarians have reached an agreement on the purchase and sale of resources, and are ready to work together to seek more benefits. Wei Fu took over the conversation and nodded, and then said:

"For a long time, the nine southern barbarian tribes have lacked unified leadership, and with resources, they are in contact with other forces, but they often can't sell the price they want, and it seems that they are now awakened and ready to act in unison. ”

"Forced by the situation, the Nanban people are not fools, and mutual cooperation is inevitable. Chang Feng also nodded.

It has been three or four years in the Great Wilderness City, and he is naturally familiar with the resource transactions between various forces.

For a long time, although the nine southern barbarian tribes were stationed together, they were independent in the purchase and sale of resources, and they were not connected to each other, and they were often jointly lowered by other forces, and even there was competition between them, resulting in a loss in the purchase and sale of resources.

Now the Yuan Silkworm Department has unified its organization and integrated the resources of the Nanban, naturally in order to get more benefits.

"Now the Nine Southern Barbarians are cooperating on the basis of resource trading, which is a good sign for the barbarians, but I just don't know how long this situation can last?" Zhu Bailing on the side interjected.

"I wish you seniors, please give me more advice?" Obviously, Zhu Bai Ling had something to say, which was also one of the reasons why Chang Feng invited him, after all, Zhu Bai Ling was in charge of news inquiry and knew far more things than him.

"It's nothing, it's just that there have been some drastic changes among the barbarians. After a simple order, Zhu Bailing then said: "The previous generation of Yuan Silkworm King failed to cross the catastrophe a few years ago, and Yan Wen, who succeeded the Yuan Silkworm King, has great talent, and with the support of the elders of the clan, he controlled the entire Yuan Silkworm Department in just a few years. ”

"After taking control of the Yuan Silkworm Division, Yan Wen personally came forward to meet with the kings of the other eight tribes and reconciled the relationship between them, so as to promote the situation of the nine tribes temporarily concentrating today. ”

"And according to the information we have gotten, that Yuan Silkworm King Yan Wen has secretly come to the Great Wilderness City to meet Emperor Biao, intending to get the support of the Shanhai Kingdom for the Yuan Silkworm Department and take the opportunity to integrate the Nine Southern Barbarian Departments. ”

"There is such a thing!" Hearing Zhu Bailing's introduction, Chang Feng, Wei Fu and the others were quite surprised, obviously they didn't know such news.

However, Zhu Bailing shook his head and said: "The new Yuan Silkworm King is ambitious, but Emperor Biao does not necessarily support him, and now the Nine Divisions are only temporarily maintaining the peace situation, as for how long it can be maintained, it is difficult to say." ”

"Sister Bai Ling, if you have something to say, you have something to say. Wei Fu urged at the right time.

Zhu Bailing turned to say: "Although the Southern Barbarian Nine Divisions have always recognized the core position of the Yuan Silkworm Department, but the Western Barbarian and the Eastern Barbarian have always had many contradictions, the previous Yuan Silkworm King did not handle these relationships well, and the current Yuan Silkworm King is not easy to deal with, the most important thing is that the core position of the Yuan Silkworm Department has been strongly challenged by the Western Barbarian Heavenly Snake Department. ”

"Yang Yulong, the leader of the Western Barbarian Heavenly Snake Tribe, also has the determination to be the king and hegemon, this person has led the Heavenly Snake Department for many years, and has accumulated strength to lead the Heavenly Snake Department into a major tribe second only to the Yuan Silkworm Tribe, and he has the ambition to replace it. ”

"The most important thing is that Yang Yulong is ambitious, unscrupulous for the purpose, it is said that when he went to the Great Wilderness City to worship Emperor Biao, he actually climbed up with his relatives, saying that the Yang family of the Southern Barbarian Heavenly Snake and the Yang family of Shanhai came out of the same case, and finally generally climbed and recognized Yang Biao as an uncle. ”

"Hmph, how can Nanban Yang and Shanhai Yang come up with the same case?"

After a cold snort, Zhu Bailing said again: "These are not the most important, the most important thing is that in the treatment of the Nine Southern Barbarian Tribes, the Shanhai State and the Chu State have always pursued a policy of supporting separatism. ”

"And the Heavenly Snake Department is the object of support from the Shanhai Kingdom and the Chu State, they don't want to see a unified barbarian clan appear, let alone let the ambition of the Yuan Silkworm King succeed, and the Yuan Silkworm King will probably return in vain this time when he comes to the Great Wilderness City. ”

"The strategy of governing the country is really brain-burning. Hearing Zhu Bailing's description of the Southern Barbarian Tribe, Chang Feng also secretly said in his heart, but he unconsciously thought of the Mei Qianya who was killed by him, he was the one who was taken away, and the one who was taken away was the monk of the Heavenly Snake Tribe.

"The new king of the Yuan Silkworm Department ascended the throne, and he is a person with great talent and strategy, so he naturally wants to do something, but the king of the Heavenly Snake Department is a scheming and unscrupulous person, it seems that it is not easy for the Nanban Nine Divisions to want peace and peace. ”

After a sigh, Chang Feng then took out the jade slip sent by the Yuan Silkworm Department, and after a little thought, handed the jade slip to Zheng Shanlong's and others and said:

"Elder Zheng, you all have to take a look, but the current sect mentioned in the jade slip lacks the resources needed and the resources unique to the Southern Barbarians, this time it will definitely be auctioned with all its might, and if necessary, you can pay an extra one percent of the spirit stone. ”

"My lord?" Hearing Chang Feng's order, several people were quite puzzled.

Chang Feng frowned slightly and said: "The Yuan Silkworm Department can integrate such a bidding meeting, which is what the Southern Barbarian Nine Ministries need, before we are fully sure and recognized by the Shanhai Kingdom, the Heavenly Snake Department will not destroy this temporary cooperation, after that, the price of resources provided by the Nanban Ministry will only get higher and higher, seize this opportunity and buy more, it will be good for us." ”
