The years when I explored the fairyland

Chapter 171 168: Peace talks! (12)

Outside Anyue City,

The clouds closed and the rain stopped, and bright sunlight pierced the clouds and spread into the earth, illuminating the ruins outside the city.

Far and near, on treetops and rocks, countless warriors looked around, hoping to see the final result of this battle.

But the result is that there is no result!

No corpses fell to the ground, and there was no rain of blood. Just suddenly, all movement disappeared.

Restlessness spread among the crowd, and many warriors' faces turned pale. Even if they were in a good state of mind, like Cao Bao, their smiles were a little forced.

Zuo Qiutong, for example, had already grasped Cao Bao's arm unconsciously. His nails were almost embedded in his flesh and blood, but Cao Bao didn't even react.

This battle will not only determine the name of the first sect, but also the ownership of countless interests, the rise and fall of the sect, and the life and death of many warriors.

In fact, on the city wall, the faces of Zhu Xuan and the others were not much better.

How confident they were before coming to Tianquan County, how uneasy they felt at this moment.

They were also a little hard to understand. How could they encounter such a hard nail in this county?

Even Zhu Xuan, despite the soundness of his analysis, was definitely no less frightened than others at this moment.

It was also at this time that he seemed to hear something. A voice came from a distant place and fell into his ears.

It was just a matter of breathing, and his complexion immediately brightened up. After all, the worst outcome was not reached, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

After pulling on the other two elders and explaining clearly in a few words, both of them relaxed.

They didn't stop, they were full of vitality, riding on the wind, and floated out of the city.

Along the way, all the warriors who passed by retreated and made way for a passage until they were in front of Xu Cheng and the others.

The four of them, Xu Cheng, didn't talk nonsense. They showed their domineering postures, and their energy and energy were connected as one, making them look violent and restless.

The confrontation between the two sides seemed to be tense, and everyone avoided it, leaving a huge open space, for fear that if they started fighting, Chi Yu would be harmed.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the two parties met, chatted for a few words, and actually came together.

They each displayed their light skills and moved forward very quickly, directly stepping onto the wall of Anyue City and disappearing from everyone's sight.

On the side, Cao Bao, who was approaching and ready to lend a hand, immediately relaxed, and then he felt a stinging pain in his arm.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Zuo Qiutong holding his arm with blood oozing from it.

"Let go, let go, do you deserve to be so cruel?"

Zuo Qiutong also reacted, quickly let go of his hand, and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Cao Bao stroked the blood stains on his arm and didn't care. He said unforgivingly: "Pavilion Master Zuo, next time you have to act like a little woman and pinch someone, you can pinch yourself. If I get injured again, I will be pinched." The lady saw it and couldn’t explain it clearly.”

"You, Cao Bao, still care about this?"

"I, Cao Bao, am loyal and loyal."

"I……"

Zuo Qiutong had the urge to complain, but the worry in his heart replaced the desire to complain, and he hurriedly said: "What is this situation? Why did they enter Anyue City together?

There is also no result in this battle. Is it won or lost? What should we do next? "

"what to do?"

Cao Bao raised his chin and said: "Can't you see this? We must have reached a peace! No matter who wins or loses, as long as we don't want to lose everything, the negotiations will follow.

As long as they don't break up the talks and compromise with each other, you and I, as the most loyal supporters of Xuanzhen Guan, will naturally be safe, and may even get some benefits. "

"What you just wanted to say was a lackey, right?"

"Whether it's a lackey or a supporter, Chu Zhou is growing too fast. It's okay for us to follow him and have a sip of soup."

"What if the deal breaks down?"

"Let's continue the fight! Anyway, you and I have made arrangements, but I don't want to get to that point."

"Me too!"

At this time, Zuo Qiutong's reason finally took over. He thought for a moment, and a smile broke out on his old face, saying: "We should believe Taoist Master Chu, he has never been a person who likes to eat alone.

Now, all we can do is wait, wait for the final result, wait for everything to settle down. "

Cao Bao asked: "Then where should we wait?"

"Go to my Husha Pavilion. It's close enough but far enough."

"That makes sense, let's go!"

"Walk!"

The war is over. Regardless of the final outcome, it is at least temporarily over. The warriors continue to disperse.

Some of the brave ones went to Anyue City, while the more timid ones returned to Red Earth City to wait.

However, the various undercover people in Anyue City became active again, and even in spite of Wanxiangzhai's anger, they went everywhere to inquire about the specific situation.

at the same time.

The former site of Wenxiang Temple is now Wanxiangzhai, in the Bamboo Garden.

In the courtyard, under the big tree.

Master Wanxiang Zhai slowly lay down on a recliner. His old body seemed to have completely relaxed. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and his face showed a somewhat abnormal flush.

Not to mention the injuries, for an old man like him, the Grandmaster battle itself was very draining of energy and energy.

On the battlefield, he was majestic, but when he got off the battlefield, his back and legs ached, and he could only know it.

Chu Zhou, on the other hand, sat down on the recliner on the other side. His eyes wandered, and his expression was a little emotional and a little sad.

A few more maids filed in and placed fruits and snacks, as well as two cups of tea, on the coffee table between the two lounge chairs.

The aroma of tea curled up, and the smoke rose, making people intoxicated.

Seeing Chu Zhou looking around, the owner of Wanxiang Zhai smiled and said, "I left this place here specially. It is said that when Master Chu came to Wenxiang Temple before, he lived here.

How is it, nothing has changed?"

"Zhuyuan is still the same Zhuyuan, but the people are no longer those people!"

Chu Zhou retracted his gaze and said, "Master, you are very clear about my investigation?"

"Know yourself and the enemy, so you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Since we are facing Xuanzhen Temple, how can we not understand the enemy?"

The owner of Wanxiang Zhai said this, and then said, "Drink tea, drink tea!"

He first picked up the teacup and tasted it. Chu Zhou didn't hesitate to pick it up and took a sip.

Putting down the teacup, he asked directly: "Master, don't talk about other things. I just want to ask, is the drought in Tianyuan Prefecture true or false? What is the situation?"

Master Wanxiang did not hesitate. He took out a few pages of letter paper from his arms, picked out one of them and handed it over.

Chu Zhou took it and squinted his eyes to look carefully. He found that what was written on it was indeed a record of the drought and refugee wave in Tianyuan Prefecture.

On the side, Master Wanxiang also explained: "Although my Wanxiang Zhai moved to Tianquan County and wanted a place of its own, it does not mean that we have to give up all the industries in Overlord City.

There are naturally reliable people staying there, and there are complete information channels.

And this is the latest news sent by Putian Diao, which can almost be guaranteed to be the latest news within five days."

Chu Zhou asked again: "Then why do you say that there are people behind to add fuel to the fire?"

Master Wanxiang shrugged and asked back: "Isn't this a done deal?

I don't mean to look down on ordinary people, but a warrior kills people like cutting melons and vegetables. Do you think that just relying on one A group of farmers, can they stir up such a big storm?

So, I don't know who is behind it, but there must be someone. "

After a pause, he said: "Maybe it is the Pure World Red Lotus Society, or the Xuanyue Sect, or it may be an ambitious person from a martial arts sect who wants to rise.

Even, it is possible that other large sects of the same level as the Tyrant Sect intervene, or the Dayun Royal Family has some delusions.

There are too many such things. I can easily find seven or eight of them by flipping through the records of the sect's secret history, and there are almost no shortage of them in any period. "

Chu Zhou did not deny that compared with the owner of Wanxiang Zhai, his experience in this area is pitifully small.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Then why do you think that the drought and refugees in Tianyuan Prefecture will affect us?

Ba Zong is not a vegetarian, how could they just ignore it?"

Wan Xiang Zhaizhu smiled and asked back: "When Yunya Sword Sect and Wenxiang Temple were fighting, Ba Zong sent Fengleiyuan Dean Gongye Wang to mediate.

It is said that there is such a reaction in one county, so can it be considered that Ba Zong's control over the two prefectures of Tianyuan and Chishui under its jurisdiction is much stronger than you and I think.

But the question is, Ba Zong is so powerful, why can drought spread to five counties, and refugees are flooding and attacking cities everywhere?

Don't you think this can explain the problem better?"

Chu Zhou was silent, and accepted his statement. Then he asked: "So, Master, what exactly is your rule?"

The Master of Wanxiang Zhai also sat up straight and said: "I came here to seek long-term development, not to fight to the death with your Xuanzhen Temple.

Since I lost, the first sect in Tianquan County will belong to your Xuanzhen Temple, I accept it."

"What about the request?"

"The right to free trade. Before Wanxiang Zhai developed in Bawang City, it didn't occupy much land. All we operated were shops, caravans and wine business.

Our wine is the best in Chishui Prefecture. Yuye Niang is known as the best in Chishui. It is exclusively supplied by the royal family and is hard to find.

Then there are more than ten mature routes for running horses and trading, buying low and selling high, and circulating what is available, covering the entire There are more than ten prefectures in the Dayun Dynasty. With these alone, we are enough to support this huge sect. "

"Then why come to Tianquan County?"

"It is because the development of Wanxiangzhai has reached a bottleneck. Only with our own territory can we move to a higher level."

After a pause, the master of Wanxiangzhai said: "Although we lost, with Anyue City, we have achieved the minimum goal.

As long as Master Chu announces to the public in the name of Xuanzhen Temple and grants Wanxiangzhai the right to trade freely.

For the rest, Wanxiangzhai will solve it by itself, and the master of the temple does not need to care. "

The master of Wanxiangzhai twisted his body slightly and looked at Chu Zhou seriously: "In this way, my Wanxiangzhai has gained some benefits, and your Xuanzhen Temple has gained reputation and reality. The cooperation between the two sides is win-win. Naturally, Tianquan County can also maintain the situation.

Until..."

Chu Zhou asked with a smile: "Until your Wanxiangzhai has accumulated enough strength and has the capital to challenge me again?"

The master of Wanxiangzhai raised his eyebrows: "That's too far away. I think we should get through this hurdle first.

Master Chu, I know you may not believe me just based on speculation, but let's wait and see.

Who knows, my Wanxiangzhai and Xuanzhenguan will cooperate one day!"

Chu Zhou smiled and slept on the recliner. He found a comfortable posture and said: "The last question, is this peace talk a sudden idea by the master? Or has it been planned for a long time?"

"I have many considerations for the sect. I have thought about the best situation and the worst plan.

As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that in this small place, they would meet a master like you? "

The master of Wanxiangzhai spoke frankly, paused, and asked again: "I also want to know, Master, did you come here with the intention of destroying my Wanxiangzhai?"

Chu Zhou put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the leaves. He smiled and replied: "The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships!

How can you talk about long-term if you want to destroy the whole family at any time?"

"So, Master Chu agreed!"

"But I also have conditions!"

"What do you say?"

"Give me a copy of all the news from Tianyuan Mansion, and it must be the fastest and most complete."

"Of course there is no problem. Even if you don't say it, I will give it to you. "
