When Zhao Tiandong went to Siguoya, the ancestral land of the Zhao royal family, Zhao Wengang also went to see Zhao Wuming.
"Uncle Jiu, why are you free to come to me today?" Zhao Wuming was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Wengang.
He knew that Zhao Wengang came to him basically because of the Li family's affairs, but this time should not be the time for official action.
Zhao Wuming is still a little early for the Zhao royal family.
"The martial name is like this..."
Zhao Wengang fully explained what Zhao Tiandong had done.
"What...this kid is just ruining my plan!"
After hearing this, Zhao Wuming didn't feel much about Zhao Tiandong sacrificing family monk Zhao Yuanjing. He was different from Zhao Wengang. For the monks in the family who were less talented, he felt that if they were sacrificed, they would be sacrificed, and there was nothing wrong with them.
The main reason why he was angry was that Zhao Tiandong acted too fast. If he had acted three years later, he would not be angry.
Because he planned to go to Qingfeng Valley three years later if the monks from Qingfeng Valley did not come to the royal family.
All Zhao Tiandong did was to disrupt his plan!
According to Zhao Wengang, he believed that Zhao Tiandong did the right thing at the wrong time.
"The matter has come to this, and there is no other way." Zhao Wengang sighed softly.
Zhao Wuming nodded. He understood that Zhao Wengang was here now and telling him this was telling him that he could take action.
Hurry up and go to Qingfeng Valley. It would be best if you can start now.
When the news has not completely spread, Qingfeng Valley will have fewer bargaining chips when negotiating with them. After the news spreads, what happened in Xiu Shifang City, Tongyang County, Xiangshui County will become their bargaining chip, and thus they will have less leverage in the negotiations. , obtain greater benefits.
Qingfeng Valley gains benefits, and the Zhao royal family will naturally give up the benefits.
"Uncle Jiu, I will take action now."
"Okay." Zhao Wengang nodded, this is what he wants.
I also hope that Zhao Wuming’s operation goes smoothly this time. When he goes to find the second elder of Qingfeng Valley, the situation should be very different from before. After all, it was Zhao Wengang who got the key information, and the Xia Yong Fang family did not lie to them. necessary, because deceiving them would do no good to the Xia Yong Fang family.
Not long after he finished speaking, Zhao Wuming was ready to take action.
At this time, Zhao Wengang left the cave and waited for Zhao Wuming to come back with good news.
The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom is cooperating with Qingfeng Valley again. Qingfeng Valley will definitely not really take action. At most, it will help them continue to suppress the Li family. After all, Qingfeng Valley is also the Shangzong and is affiliated with Jiedan. Among the forces, they all adhere to the principle of not taking action if they can.
And what they want is Qingfeng Valley to help them suppress the Li family.
It is difficult to suppress the Li family just by relying on the Zhao royal family. After all, the Li family is still more affected by Qingfeng Valley.
Zhao Wuming, who left Huangmin County, reached Qingfeng Valley at almost the fastest speed.
This time he wanted to meet not the master of Qingfeng Valley, but the second elder of Qingfeng Valley. The time to convey the information was much slower than before.
It’s okay to take it slow. He finally met the current second elder of Qingfeng Valley.
"We are a busy member of the royal family, what kind of wind is blowing you to my side today." He Shiping, the second elder of Qingfeng Valley, first teased when he saw Zhao Wuming.
"Hahaha, not busy, not busy." Zhao Wuming smiled.
He had only met the second elder of Qingfeng Valley a few times, and the two had never had in-depth communication. Now the first thing He Shiping said to him was this. Zhao Wuming, who was originally confident, now felt a little unsure.
What you say when you first meet can roughly describe a monk's attitude.
Although the second elder of Qingfeng Valley used a teasing tone, the two of them were not very familiar with each other. Under such circumstances, the only thing Zhao Wuming could think of was that the current second elder of Qingfeng Valley was not very welcome. His appearance.
"Young people don't tell secret words. Fellow Daoist Zhao, tell me why you came to me." At this moment, He Shiping had already walked to Zhao Wuming, "If you can help me, He, I will definitely help.”
“Our royal family really needs your help, Second Elder. I came to you this time for the sake of the Li family.” The other party has already said this, there is no need to continue. After being polite, Zhao Wuming explained the purpose of his visit.
He came here for the Li family's affairs, and he thought He Shiping could more or less guess it.
After all, in the current Zhao Kingdom, only the Li family can give the Zhao royal family a headache.
“Let’s talk first.” He Shiping motioned to Zhao Wuming to continue.
"Our royal family hopes that Qingfeng Valley can cooperate with us to suppress the Li family. It is as simple as that." After thinking about it, Zhao Wuming added, "There must be certain benefits to cooperating with us."< br>
“Let’s not talk about the benefits.” He Shiping stared at Zhao Wuming and said, “What fellow Taoist Zhao said is not simple at all.”
Zhao Wuming tried to figure out the meaning of He Shiping's words.
“When we cooperate, we will benefit from Qingfeng Valley, and we will also benefit from you, Second Elder.”
“It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhao still understands what I mean. Speaking secretly, I said that suppressing the Li family together is not easy, but it is not easy... If I remember correctly, someone from your royal family also came last time, and after talking with our Valley Master, there was no result, right?"
< br>The meeting of their Qingfeng Valley Jiedan elders has already been held.
According to the results of the meeting, Qingfeng Valley will not only not help the Zhao royal family to suppress the Li family, but will also take action to help the Li family relieve the pressure when the Zhao royal family is trying its best to suppress the Li family.
Without this meeting, it would be false for He Shiping not to be moved by Zhao Wuming's proposal.
In addition to the benefits to Qingfeng Valley, there are also personal benefits to him.
But after all, he is also the Danjie elder of Qingfeng Valley. Since the result of the meeting about the Li family was reached, he will not go against the result and secretly help the Zhao royal family.
"Hahaha, look at what you said, Second Elder. The Valley Master of your Qingfeng Valley is the Valley Master, and the elder is the elder. This is definitely different." Zhao Wuming continued.
According to Zhao Wengang, the current second elder of Qingfeng Valley is their biggest opportunity. If he does not even agree to cooperate with their Zhao royal family, then Qingfeng Valley really will not help them suppress the Li family. .
"We in Qingfeng Valley are one." He Shiping's face was already downcast.
No matter what is going on inside Qingfeng Valley, they will unanimously deal with the outside world when the matter is decided, especially high-level people like them who form the core.
But when he said this, He Shiping also added in his heart that he would not help the Li family, but mainly made suggestions to the three elders. If Qingfeng Valley finally decided to join forces with the Zhao royal family to suppress Li If it is a family, then he is the elder who is mainly responsible for the execution.
The Qingfeng Valley Valley Master basically plays a supporting role in this area.
Looking at He Shiping's current expression, combined with what he said, Zhao Wuming groaned secretly and wanted to say something to make up for it, but He Shiping did not give him a chance.
"Second Elder..."
"Okay! Fellow Daoist Zhao, I will pretend that I have never heard what you said today. For the sake of the Li family, there is nothing to talk about between us." He Shiping An eviction order has been issued.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuming said nothing more.
Recalling the experience of negotiating with the owner of Qingfeng Valley last time, I can still feel the difference after talking with the second elder of Qingfeng Valley this time.
At least the second elder has no feelings for the Li family, but the meaning of his words is already clear. Regarding the Li family, Qingfeng Valley will not unite with the Zhao royal family to suppress the Li family.
"Excuse me." When leaving, Zhao Wuming was more polite, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time."
He Shiping said it and just treated today's matter as nothing. It happened, which is already the best answer to him.
After saying that, Zhao Wuming left.
The last time we went to Qingfeng Valley to seek cooperation failed, this time we sought cooperation and failed again.
To be honest, facing such an ending, Zhao Wuming felt that the relationship between Qingfeng Valley and the Li family was not as simple as they thought.
He was defeated even by the second elder of Qingfeng Valley who had no feelings for the Li family.
After returning to Huangmin County as quickly as possible, the ancestral home of the Zhao royal family, Zhao Wuming immediately went to see Zhao Wengang.
The result of the discussion with Qingfeng Valley must be discussed with Zhao Wengang first.
"Wu Ming, how is the situation?" Zhao Wengang asked immediately when he saw Zhao Wuming coming back.
He felt that the possibility of success this time should be very high. After all, he was looking for the second elder of Qingfeng Valley, not the current master of Qingfeng Valley.
"Failed." Zhao Wuming slowly said these three words.
"What! Talking to that He Shiping also failed?"
"Yes." Zhao Wuming nodded. He thought a lot on the way back, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that now The relationship between Qingfenggu and the Li family is very unusual.
"There is no need for Fang Mingchang to lie to me."
"Uncle Jiu, it's not Fang Mingchang's problem. He is right. The current second elder of Qingfeng Valley is the most promising to reach cooperation with our royal family. He has no feelings for the Li family. However, there are some differences between Qingfeng Valley now and Qingfeng Valley back then. Likewise, the problem should be with Yan Xuewei, the current owner of Qingfeng Valley. "Yan Xuewei has cooperated with the Li family before, but that was also based on an exchange of interests. Both parties need each other. Now that the Li family is rising, Yan Xuewei has become the owner of Qingfeng Valley again, so there will be more conflicts between the interests of the two parties." Zhao Wengang still said his previous analysis.
"What if the relationship between them is not purely interest-oriented?"
The road is ruthless, people have feelings, and monks also have feelings.
There are many monks who value profits more, but there are also many monks who value feelings.
Between the two, every monk has his own shot in his heart to weigh the choice.
"You mean... Li Qianqing and Yan Xuewei of the Li family have an affair, but they have been hiding it because of their identities."
"Yes, Uncle Jiu, I think it is very It's possible!" The more Zhao Wuming thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He had talked with He Shiping and also with Yan Xuewei in person.
Recalling the experience of the last conversation, he became more determined in his thoughts.
“What a couple!” Zhao Wengang was obviously convinced by Zhao Wuming. Judging from what is happening so far, this reason can indeed be well explained. “A valley owner does things emotionally, and she does it. The Valley Master will only push Qingfeng Valley into the abyss step by step, just watch.”
"Uncle Jiu, are we going to spread this news?"
After getting Zhao Wengang's reaction, Zhao Wuming also expressed his next thoughts.
“It’s useless.” Zhao Wengang shook his head, “The affairs in Qingfeng Valley cannot be decided by just one valley owner. Now among the alchemy elders of Qingfeng Valley, the third elder is likely to have reached a certain agreement with her. "
Zhao Wengang explained the situation directly based on the information he obtained. He still remembered that Fang Ming often told him that Zuoqiu Lipeng, the third elder of Qingfeng Valley, wanted to get the support of the Li family.
Based on all the news he knew, he felt that this should be true.
"In this way, I really can't talk about anything when I go to Qingfeng Valley this time." Zhao Wuming also comforted himself. Two consecutive losses made him feel very uncomfortable.
He felt that there was definitely no problem with his ability, and the problem was not with him.
What Zhao Wengang said this time also confirmed this point.
"Well, that's it." Combining Zhao Wuming's information this time, Zhao Wengang also completed his speculation.
"Qingfeng Valley cannot reach cooperation, so we can only deal with the Li family by ourselves." Zhao Wuming found the right seat and sat down, but in the end it was still the same.
"Next, I will arrange people to spread the news this time."
The monks Zhao Wengang arranged to spread the news. Naturally, the situation of the news spread was beneficial to the Zhao royal family and gave them more The reason for dealing with the Li family.
"After the news spreads, Uncle Jiu, are you going to go to the Li family in person to seek 'justice'?"
"...No..." Zhao Wengang shook his head, then turned around, Facing Zhao Wuming with his back, "Wu Ming, I think it's better to leave the matter of going to the Li family's ancestral land in Xiangshui County to you."
"Oh?" Zhao Wuming was a little confused, why Zhao Wengang Give him the credit.
Judging from the current situation, it is much easier to go to the Li family to find trouble than to go to Qingfeng Valley to seek cooperation.
"You are better at this." Zhao Wengang gave the simplest reason.
"Xie Jiubo complimented me. Once the news spreads and has a certain influence, I will leave this matter to you." Zhao Wuming felt that he had no reason not to accept the credit given to him. If he refused, No, it means not giving Jiu Bo face.
"Yes." Still facing his nephew, Zhao Wengang nodded slightly, and finally reminded him again, "When you go to the ancestral land of the Li family in Xiangshui County, you must pay attention to Li Qianqing, this person is extraordinary. ”
“Yes, Uncle Jiu”
Zhao Wuming wanted to get acquainted with Li Qianqing, who was very likely to have the strength in the late stage of pill formation in the middle stage of pill formation.
……
Less than half a month.
With the help of the two forces, what happened in Xiu Shifang City, Tongyang County, Xiangshui County spread quickly.
There are many versions of what happened, but there are only two mainstream versions.
One is that the death of the Zhao royal family occurred in Tongyang County, Xiangshui County. The actual main culprit was the Zhao royal family. The other version is that the Li family had improper management and took this opportunity to attack the monks of the Zhao royal family. If the Li family wanted to save the monks from the Zhao royal family, they would definitely be able to save them, but they just wouldn't save them. (End of this chapter)
