Chapter 610: Seeking skin from a tiger
The leader of Wushen is very confident in persuading Pei Xuanjing to cooperate, because in fact there is no enmity or enmity between the two.
Perhaps some people think that Wu Jiu is a rebel of the Wu Shen Sect, and Wu Jiu has a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty and is also familiar with Pei Xuanjing. From this point of view, it seems that Pei Xuanjing and the Wu Shen Sect should also be opposites.
In fact, this is not the case. This is just a misunderstanding, not to mention that Wu Jiu and the Ming Dynasty are only tied together because of their interests, and are not really close, so what if they are.
Although Pei Xuanjing is the national preceptor of the Ming Dynasty, he is also the leader of the Taoist sect and the leader of the Shenxiao sect. The Ming Dynasty and him also have a combination of interests.
After the leader of the Witch God has studied many experiences of Pei Xuanjing, he has found that Pei Xuanjing does value many things, and that is that he also has the same goal as many strong people, which is to explore the immortal way and seek immortality.
You must know that during the rise of Pei Xuanjing, he had disputes with the Ming royal family, the Demon Sect and many other forces. However, when faced with common goals and interests, Pei Xuanjing was still willing to cooperate.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing is not the kind of character who does not understand flexibility and is self-centered. Therefore, as long as he does not touch the other party's bottom line, then both parties can come together if they have common interests.
“It seems that the leader knows a lot about Pindao.” Pei Xuanjing said with a chuckle as he did not comment on the words of the leader of the Witch God.
Indeed, he has no grudges against the Witch God Sect. He originally regarded the Witch God Sect as a possible opponent he might encounter. That was because he accepted the favor from Wu Jiujiu and promised to protect him, so he had to be on guard against the Witch God. teach.
But now times have changed, and even Wu Jiu, who initially felt that he was at odds with the Witch God Sect and that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, has put aside his grudges with the Witch God Sect. He doesn't care about the past when he was hunted down. Pei Xuanjing wouldn't even care.
So, as Pei Xuanjing said, he is not opposed to this cooperation. Everything depends on what conditions the leader of the Witch God gives him and whether it is worthy of Pei Xuanjing's nod.
The leader of the Wushen Cult did not care about this and did not continue. He directly stated his purpose: "The Wushen Cult wants to settle in the Ming Dynasty. I wonder what the National Master thinks?"
This With the structure and courage to stand as the strongest person in the world, the leader of the Witch God did not mince words, he spoke his mind directly and stated his requirements and conditions.
The Witch God Sect wants to settle in the Ming Dynasty, or join the Ming Dynasty, and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. This requires Pei Xuanjing’s nod.
"Pindao is actually a little curious. I wonder if the leader is willing to answer his questions?" Pei Xuanjing didn't seem surprised and asked directly.
In fact, when he heard this statement, Pei Xuanjing already had some guesses and answers in his mind, but he still needed to verify them.
The leader of Wushen was also very honest: "Of course."
He also knew that although the Taoist in front of him was only at the eighth level of the spiritual realm, his strength was enough to keep pace with him, at least. The two are on equal footing.
If you want to cooperate with the other party, you can't hide too much. After all, if you really cooperate in the future, the two parties will definitely have more contacts and wait for the other party to really discover it. Then This cooperation will naturally fall apart.
"The Imperial Master must also know that our Wushen Cult has been inherited since ancient times." In the imperial city, Zhu Houcong, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, stood on the map of the country's territory. The entire hall was silent, even the people who often accompanied him. There were no personal eunuchs nearby, only Yan Weizhong, the Minister of Rites, bowed slightly not far behind him, waiting for his summons at any time.
The usually calm Emperor Zhu Houcong of the Ming Dynasty no longer had the indifference on his face at this moment. Instead, he looked a little more complicated and hesitant. It seemed that something was lingering in his mind. For a moment, Unable to make a decision.
Yan Weizhong silently looked at the Ninth Five-Year Master in front of him with his back turned to him. Even though the other person was not wearing a dragon robe and was just dressed as a Taoist, the noble aura on his body could not be reduced. In no way, the majesty permeated the entire hall, making people afraid to look directly.
As a minister who was promoted by Zhu Houcong, Yan Weizhong found that after so many years, His Majesty the Emperor became more and more mysterious and unfathomable.
Yan Weizhong knew that his reputation among the government and the public was actually not good. In the eyes of civil servants, nobles, or many clans, he, Yan Weizhong, was a loyal dog of the emperor, an enforcer whose loyalty would not diminish in the slightest. All instructions, whether right or wrong, regardless of the reason, as long as the emperor ordered things, he would carry out them with all his strength, without any hesitation.
But, is there anything wrong with being a loyal dog?
If he hadn't been the emperor's loyal dog, would he have the honor, status and power he has today?
So, Yan Weizhong didn't care at all about these infamy. He followed the emperor wholeheartedly because he knew that everything was given by His Majesty. Only by being loyal to His Majesty would he not lose everything now.
Even if he has his own calculations and ambitions, one thing cannot be changed, that is, he comes from the emperor.
"Yan Qing, do you think my decision this time was right or wrong?" Zhu Houcong's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yan Weizhong's thoughts.
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's inquiry, Yan Weizhong naturally said quickly: "Your Majesty is as wise as many wise kings throughout the ages, and His Majesty's decision will naturally not be wrong."
He knew clearly what the Emperor asked. It was about cooperating with the Witch God Sect this time, and Yan Weizhong couldn't judge this matter. After all, even though he has today's powerful position, he doesn't know much about the mysterious and top-level force like the Witch God Sect, which is inherited from ancient times. .
However, it is much better to cooperate with such a top force than to become an equal opponent.
And, no matter what, since the emperor has made a decision, all he has to do is to find a way to complete the matter instead of disobeying the other party's decision.
"Haha." Zhu Houcong glanced at the map of the country, chuckled a few times and said: "But that Haigangfeng gave me a hint, saying that the mysterious forces like the Witch God Sect are definitely not kind people, and we should cooperate with them. He is seeking skin from a tiger, and if he is not careful, the entire Ming Dynasty will suffer. ”
How could Zhu Houcon not be clear about the cooperation with the Wushen Sect? The two parties are not really on equal status, and cooperation with them must be a bit like seeking the skin of a tiger. If he is not careful, the master and slave may be reversed, and the Great Ming Shen The future of North Korea is hard to say.
Moreover, this time the conditions offered by the Witch God Cult were difficult for him to refuse.
