Chapter 45 Negotiation
Chapter 47 Negotiation

Zhoukou City, a small country in the Chen domain, is much smaller than Baiyan, but it has a degree of prosperity that makes any city sigh. Because there are no fixed monks in town, so the people who come and go in this country are indefinite.

There are monks, transformed monsters, demon cultivators, and even ghost cultivators who usually don't see people. This also leads to the diversity of goods here, and indirectly attracts the favor of many monks. .

But at this moment, the bustling and noisy city in the past has become extra quiet. After all, the war is approaching, and everyone is shrouded in a oppressive shadow.

Yueqing and the others were already in front of the city lord of Zhoukou City. After the Baiyan Auction House came out, they entrusted the girl to the innkeeper and set off early to Zhoukou City. However, after entering the city, the surroundings were different from other cities The tension told Yueqing that it might be the right decision for them to come earlier.

"The immortals of the Liuyun sect kept me waiting! Come on, sit down, and let me introduce you to the immortals who came to help me this time." The city lord of Zhoukou greeted Yueqing and the others in person when he came up. typical.

Yueqing and the others naturally sat down where he led, but Li Lu spoke before he introduced other monks.

"Don't be impatient, the city lord. I often hear my father mention you, the city lord of Zhoukou City, Gu Yan. Let me first introduce me and my junior sisters to you seniors."

As Li Lu spoke, she bowed slightly to the elders on the opposite side to show her greetings, and then continued: "Seniors, I am the son of Li Dai, the suzerain of Liuyun Sect, and my name is Li Lu. It’s difficult, so my father sent us to help out, and I also heard from my father about the seniors who came to help out this time.”

"And these are my junior sisters, one is Murong Rou, the exclusive daughter of the Murong family in Baiyan City, the other is Yueyao who stood out from the disciples of our sect's outer sect, and the veiled one is It is a fox spirit given to my junior sister Yueyao by Liuyunzong, named Yuexi."

"I often hear my father mention the seniors, please take care of us juniors in this war."

Yueqing frowned slightly after hearing this, but when she thought about it carefully, she suddenly realized that after all, she was a sweet potato now, and Li Lu kept emphasizing that she was the "spiritual beast" bestowed by "Liuyunzong" to Yueyao, so that would naturally dissuade her. The ghostly thoughts of blockbusters.

"Haha, so it's Mr. Li Lu. I really didn't expect Sect Master Li Dai to mention me in front of you, and I didn't expect that my first term of city lord would be honored to be mentioned by an immortal." Gu Yan laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Li Lu is serious. We just practiced a few years earlier than you. Seniors and others can kill us. Forget it, fellow Daoist Li Dai mentioned you to me, and I will also introduce you to this previous training." A few fellow Taoists who come to help out." One of the monks who seemed to be the leader got up and said.

"First of all, I am a casual cultivator near the ancient Willow Mountains. I had a lot of contacts with your father Li Dai when he was young. I am also the highest cultivator among several cultivators this time, so I was recommended by several fellow Taoists. I became the team leader, named Kong Zhen, and my cultivation base is lower than your father's, and I've been in Golden Core Stage for a long time."

"And the people behind me are called Poshi, Eji, Moke, and Gulin in turn."

"Among them, Gu Lin has a lot to do with your Flowing Cloud Sect. He is a cultivator in the consecration period and belongs to the casual cultivators near the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range. He often goes to your Flowing Cloud Sect to ask for pills. Brother Li Lu may have an impression."

"And Pozhen, Eji, and Mo Ke are all my friends, and they are also casual cultivators near the ancient Liu Mountains. They are also in the consecration period. As soon as I heard that Zhoukou City was in trouble, Dai Li sent you here After discussing with your father about training here, I will come here to take care of you."

After finishing speaking, mother, Eji and Mo Ke also bowed to Yueqing and the others, and Gu Lin even smiled and said: "Li Lu boy, I didn't expect to grow so big so quickly. I think you were still a little girl at the beginning." Baby, I didn't expect to catch up with me in a few years, but I heard Dai Li said that you have already been consecrated?"

"There, it's still far behind Senior Gu Lin." Li Lu said without changing her face and heartbeat, cupping her hands.

Gu Yan couldn't help being impatient when he saw that the immortals were so polite, and asked, "Several immortals, now that everyone is here, why don't we discuss how to deal with Han Xiao's lunatics?"

"Don't worry, if the other party doesn't send monks, I won't be able to take action later. You just need to take care of your own affairs. If the other party sends monks to attack, we will naturally not sit still." Kong Zhen said.

Yueqing saw Gu Yan's difficulty and asked, "How long have you been the city lord?"

Seeing that it was a transformed spirit fox asking him, Gu Yan didn't look down on him, and replied, "It's been more than forty years."

Yueqing heard the words and asked again: "When you were in power, were there thieves or hungry people in the city?"

"Very few." Gu Yan replied.

"Before you came to power, did you have one?"

"It's also very rare." Gu Yan continued to answer.

Yueqing smiled when she heard the words, but it was a pity that the smile could not be seen clearly through the veil, and said: "You have the law of governance, but you have never seen a war?"

Several other people also heard the clues, and couldn't help but look at Yueqing, wondering why the spirit fox was only in the form of a spirit object, and why his thoughts were so neat.

Gu Yan replied embarrassingly: "I have never experienced war."

"Do you have ministers under your command?" Yue Qing asked.

"Isn't it just a matter of the empire's courtiers? Gu Yan is the only one."

Only then did Yueqing look at the other monks, and said: "He has never seen a war, never experienced a war, has no strategic awareness, and only has the method of governing a city, and his army probably doesn't have much strict training, and he doesn't have counselors. Mobilize and lead the army, the enemy cannot be defeated."

The others also nodded silently. Who would have thought that this city of Zhoukou would be so exhausted, even military preparations would be so unbearable, and it would look like a bustling city without knowing how to protect it, no wonder it would be regarded as fat.

"You are attached to Liuyun and belong to the same city as Liuyun's surroundings, so it is inconvenient for them to attack you, but Hanxiao is not under Liuyun's banner, and your territory is a piece of fat in the eyes of others, but you don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and you don't know how to take precautions. After such a long time, your city will fall into the hands of others sooner or later."

Gu Yan nodded darkly when he heard the words, and said: "What the fairy said is true, but I have never experienced it, nor have the previous city lords experienced it, so it is wrong for me to forget the crisis, but what should I do now? Also ask the fairy to give pointers."

But Yueqing has a big head, she only knows how to ask questions, how can she know how to solve them, Yueqing originally thought that the other monks would speak up and propose strategies, but when she saw the other monks looking at her, she had to say: "How do I know how? Do?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan rolled his eyes and almost fainted, thinking: "You don't know what to do, why are you so blunt?"

Li Lu said at this moment: "Hanxiao City is a martial city. You can tell from the large number of worshipers in the city. I found out a while ago that there are 24 monks in their city, and 23 of them enshrine a national teacher. Not long ago There is also a more powerful guy, one person can win 24 people, this battle is not only difficult for the army, but we must also deal with it carefully."

Gu Yan's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he said in a panic, "Could it be that Zhoukou was ruined by me like this?"

"It's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with earth. The way to win is to attack by force. The best way to win by surprise is to use your own strengths to overcome your weaknesses." Yue Qing shamelessly suppressed these few words from the previous life Sentences learned from books.

The eyes of the others lit up when they heard the words, and they couldn't help raising Yueqing's status again. People who can say such things are by no means ordinary people, and they all think that Yueqing will have a way.

Yueqing also knew that this time it would be very difficult, so she sat on the chair and drank a sip of tea, thinking about it, and then said after a while: "There are many monks on the other side, but it's not impossible for us to fight. I think the biggest problem is the army. If there are no monks involved in the war between the two countries, then the confrontation of the army is indispensable, but fighting in the cold night and doing business in Zhoukou, the two cannot be compared."

The others nodded, but saying what they said was the same as not saying it. They all knew that Yueqing hadn't finished speaking, so they didn't speak and continued to wait.

"The army is not enough to fight against them. There is only fighting skills over there. We go out to fight against the other side's monks. If we win, then the other side's army may be strong and may cause us harm, but our deterrent power will definitely prevent the other side from acting rashly. "

"However, there are a total of 25 monks on the other side. It is said that all of them are consecrated, and there is one who can beat the other 24 people by himself. It can be seen that his cultivation level may have reached the golden core stage. In this way, we The advantage of having a golden core stage monk among the monks will disappear, so it is not feasible to fight until the end."

After these few words, Gu Yan, the city lord, was about to burst into tears, neither this nor that, if those stewards under him spoke like this, he would have already slapped him. Isn't it exciting to come out for excitement, but these words happen to come from the mouth of an immortal, so I have to admit it.

Kong Zhen and other monks closed their mouths when they heard the words, frowning and thinking about something, Li Lu and Murong Rou also did the same, only Yueyao looked at Yueqing, she knew that Yueqing must have a way, saying it was blind trust Well, it doesn't matter if you say it's a high opinion of the person you admire, but that's what Yue-Yao thinks.

But after a while, Li Lu smiled and said: "Yueqing, from what you said just now, it seems that there is something in it? If I guess right, you already have a solution?"

Murong Rou was startled awake when she heard the words, seeing Li Lu and Yue Qing looking at her with a smile, couldn't help but feel hairy in her heart, and said softly: "Look at me, I can't settle this matter."

The others also turned their heads to look at Murong Rou, seeing Murong Rou blushing, but Yue Qing said, "Of course I don't want you to settle this matter, but..."
