The door of the Peach Blossom Cottage opened, and Zhou Tong and the high-level officials of the Cottage walked out with unkind faces. Tomato ''-.x'f'q-x-s'-.com a group of heavily armed bandits rushed out from the left and right flanks and surrounded the three of Ruan Zun.

Ruan Zun didn't panic, and said to Zhou Tong: "Lord of the Great Village, I am indeed a person from the Demon Suppression Palace, and the reason why I joined Peach Blossom Mountain is to have the identity of the second village master of Peach Blossom Mountain, so that I can have the opportunity to go to Erlong Mountain and be able to explore the secrets of Longxing Tower." However, I am indeed dedicated to Peach Blossom Mountain, and this person also knows it. Not to mention anything else, just for the construction of the Fengyun Spiritual Courtyard in Taolin Town, I took out all my family resources. If I'm just a spy, why bother so much?"

"What do you mean?" the hostility on Zhou Tong's face diminished again.

Ruan Zun smiled and said, "This meaning is very complicated and very simple. Master Dazhai, let me ask you, do people live in this world for others or for themselves?"

"Nonsense! People live in this world, where can they live for others! Naturally, they should live for themselves!" Zhou Tong said.

"In the same way, little brother, I also live for myself. joined the Demon Suppression Hall because of the recommendation of Murong Qianqian and Murong Yanda, so that he could have an official good background. And entering Taohuashan, operating Taolin Town, and developing the industry of my Fengyunzhan is also for its own interests. ”

"So, you mean, you want to step on two boats?" Zhou Tong snorted coldly, "Both sides are begging for benefits, your abacus is really good!"

"Where did you get the two boats?" Ruan Zun laughed, "Peach Blossom Mountain really wants to fight against the government, one way to the dark, can't you be the king of the mountain?"

While the two were talking, the person who went to check the letter led a messenger who was in a hurry, and hurriedly reported: "King Yu, King Deng of Erlongshan, send an envoy to deliver the letter!"

Zhou Tong shook his head and hurriedly said to the messenger, "Where is the letter?"

The messenger took the letter and handed it over, Zhou Tong snatched it, took it out and opened it, looked at a few lines, his face was cloudy, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball, and muttered: "Sure enough, Erlongshan asked the imperial court for a fief and a promise never to expropriate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the high-level executives of Peach Blossom Mountain behind them changed color and discussed one after another, and many people were panicked.

Erlong Mountain is the strongest of the three bandit mountains in Qingzhou, and it has always contained a large amount of strength in the imperial court and the Demon Suppression Palace. If Erlong Mountain makes peace with the imperial court, the strength of the imperial court can be freed up and concentrate on dealing with Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain.

Recently, the three thieves in Qingfeng Mountain, the second leader Wang Yingwang Dwarf Tiger and the third leader Zheng Tianshou have disappeared one after another, and their strength has been greatly frustrated. The same is true of Peach Blossom Mountain, which lost Li Zhong. Two thieves who have lost their strength greatly, do they still have to fight against the powerful imperial court?"

This matter is a matter related to everyone's net worth and life, it is not a child's play, it is not trivial, and they can't help but think about it seriously.

It turned out that many of them were still sneering at Ruan Zun, but after hearing the news, their attitudes immediately changed.

"Lord Dazhai, where are the core interests of Taohuashan? Is it really about fighting against the government? Wrong! It is not about rebelling or confronting the government, but about recognizing one's own strengths, making the spirit grass industry bigger and stronger, earning a lot of gold spirit crystals, and then using these gold spirit crystals to develop one's own strength. Ruan Zun talked eloquently, ignoring the fact that there are many concepts in his vocabulary that people in this world cannot accept, "To tell the truth, hundreds of people up and down Peach Blossom Mountain are really not for the life on the tip of the knife, but to live and work in peace and contentment, and be prosperous!"

These words obviously went to everyone's hearts, and many people nodded in agreement.

Zhou Tong was also moved, he had already set up an industry in Qingzhou City, and also vigorously developed the spirit grass elixir industry, Ruan Zun's ideas, which were quite his own spleen and stomach.

"You mean, we are also like Erlong Mountain, and return to the imperial court?" Zhou Tong said, "However, the imperial court promised to Erlong Mountain that it would never be conquered, but it did not promise me Peach Blossom Mountain! ”

"The imperial court's commitment to Erlongshan was in exchange for significant benefits. Peach Blossom Mountain can't give such benefits to the imperial court for the time being, so it can't exchange such a promise. But although there is evil in Taohuashan, the evil is not deep, which is why I dare to say that I will continue to serve as the mayor of Taolin. With me in it, I can calm the grievances between the imperial court and Peach Blossom Mountain. Ruan Zun said, "What's more, there are so many things here, I can't bear to give them up." ”

"What you can't bear to give up is naturally not me, the master of the village. Zhou Tong snorted coldly, the resentment in his voice had basically disappeared, it could be seen that he was thinking a lot about the future of Peach Blossom Mountain, "Your Song Imperial Court allows you to hold the position of the Demon Suppression Palace, and also control the Peach Forest Town of Peach Blossom Mountain." ”

"Yes. "Nguyen Zun is very confident.

"Why?" Zhou Tong was puzzled.

"Because of the interests. Ruan Zun said, he remembered his eldest brother Song Jiang Song Gongming, he is also a person who wanders among the government and Liangshanbo forces, seeking mutual benefits for both sides, "Now the Quartet is smoking, internal and external troubles, the government needs Taohuashan to steadily export spiritual herbs and elixirs to the outside world, a Taohuashan with a stable situation, Taohuashan that can effectively communicate with the government, is in the best interests of the government." ”

"They exterminated my Peach Blossom Village and took Peach Blossom Mountain into the ownership of the government, wouldn't it be more in line with their one, what is that, benefits, and interests?" Zhou Tong said very inquiringly.

"The place where the world produces elixir and spiritual grass is not only Peach Blossom Mountain. Many famous mountains and rivers under the control of famous sects are rich in spiritual herbs and elixirs. Today, because of this, he suppressed Peach Blossom Mountain, and he may kill other famous factions because of this reason in the future. The elixir and spiritual herb are the lifeblood of the major spiritual cultivation sects, how can they be willing to let it go? In this way, the already turbulent world will be panicked and uneasy. ”

"Therefore, Peach Blossom Mountain has a dual identity of me, for both parties, there are only benefits, no bad things. The Fengyun Spiritual Courtyard, which I have invested so much effort in, has just been established, and hundreds of orphans are looking forward to it with tears in their eyes, and they really can't bear to give up on each other. If the owner of Dazhai allows, I should run Taolin Town and Fengyun Lingyuan, and do a good job as an intermediary between Taohuashan and the government to achieve a win-win situation for both parties. ”

Zhou Tong was moved by Ruan Zun's words, and most of the high-level people in Peach Blossom Mountain behind him were also moved. Now that Taohuashan is about to face the pressure of the government, it is indeed quite useful to have a second village master who can hold a position in the government and can speak.

Moreover, this second village master is now speaking so frankly and confidently, and he is obviously not a villain who plays tricks and plots to kill everyone. At least, since he came to Peach Blossom Mountain, he has been thinking about Peach Blossom Mountain, and he has also killed many people from the government youth army.

"I remember everything you said. Okay, come into the stockade and tell me what you just said. Zhou Tong finally let down his guard completely, signaled to the bandits, and welcomed Ruan Zun into the village.
