"Ancestor, the ancestor of Fengding may have died in the Cangyuan Realm."
Qi Dongqiang saw the ancestor Qi Lijin and told the bad news.
The first time Qi Lijin heard this, he took out a transmission note and contacted the family monks in the Ming Dynasty.
After a long time, there was no response.
He knew that something had happened to the monk who was collecting information in the Ming Dynasty. This time, because an ancestor of the Lu royal family went to the Ming Dynasty, this monk was specifically in a place closer to Cangyun Realm. Gather information.
"How did you know?" Qilijin's eyes stopped on Qi Dongqiang again.
"This is the ancestor..."
Qi Dongqiang briefly explained the matter. There was nothing wrong with what he conveyed, but he just said that there might be something wrong with Qi Fengding.
The specific news came from Qingguo, because it has been some time since Li Qianqing and others came back.
"Alas, the secret realm itself is dangerous, and it is normal to fall... The spiritual objects that help break the pill and become a baby are not so easy to obtain." Qilijin sighed at first, and then quickly accepted the fact.
A place where danger and opportunity coexist. If you want to get good opportunities, you must not only guard against the dangers in the secret realm, but also beware of the monks who enter the secret realm.
Qi Lijin’s first thought was that Qi Fengding must have died while competing for opportunities with other pill-forming monks.
The peak pill-forming monks are among the top three in the Lu Kingdom, but they are still not enough in the Ming Dynasty. Many of the late-stage core-forming monks in the Nascent Soul Force are at the level of ordinary peak-forming core monks.
"Ancestor, do you think it is possible that the Li family of Qing Kingdom did it?"
"The possibility is not high. We have talked about it. If we meet Qing in the secret realm, He still prefers cooperation with monks from the country or the country of Yue. After all, they are all from the three small countries, unless there are any special circumstances."
The possibility of special circumstances occurring is inherently low, because Qi Lijin does not believe that Qi Fengding died in the hands of the Li family monks.
Qi Dongqiang nodded when he heard this. He also talked with his ancestor Qi Fengding. At that time, Qi Fengding said that he wanted to test Li Qianqing's true and false, but he did not specifically say how to test it. He just said that he would test it. It depends on the situation in the secret realm.
Since Qi Dongqiang was responsible for dealing with Qingguo before, when he encountered such a thing, he subconsciously thought that the Li family of Qingguo had taken action against their ancestors.
If you think about it carefully, although the possibility is low, it is not completely impossible.
“You shouldn’t go deep into the Ming Dynasty.” Qilijin couldn’t help but said, and now he was talking about the monks they sent to the Ming Dynasty to collect information.
For them, Baiyang County of the Ming Dynasty was far away from them, and they were already deep into the Ming Dynasty. Normally, the monks from the Lu Kingdom's royal family collected information in the county near the Ming River.
The emergence of the Cangyun Realm secret realm in Baiyang County itself has caused the danger factor of this place to skyrocket, and the possibility of encountering a calamity cultivator in the pill formation stage has also greatly increased.
There are no calamity cultivators in the three small countries. For monks in the foundation-building period, the safety of small countries cannot be compared with that of big countries. If you only encounter calamity cultivators in the foundation-building period, there is basically no chance of spreading the news of your own distress. Problem, but it is different when encountering a calamity cultivator in the pill formation stage. It is very likely that he will not even have a chance to send a message.
We still need to collect news from the Ming Dynasty. After a foundation-building monk died, the Lu royal family will continue to send foundation-building monks to the Ming Dynasty.
As for Qi Fengding's death, the two of them chatted in despair. They could only say it was bad luck.
Qi Dongqiang was about to leave when the family monk suddenly came in to report a new situation.
"Ancestor, a nineteen-year-old commander who claims to be Zishan City of Fanyang Kingdom wants to see you."
Purple Mountain City?
Qi Lijin has a certain understanding of the Yuanying forces in Fanyang Kingdom. The monks who can become the leader of Zishan City are all in the Dan-formation stage.
There must be something big going on when the Nascent Soul forces send Danjie monks to their side!
Thinking of this, Qilijin stood up while responding.
"I know, I will pick him up personally."
"Ancestor, I will go too." Qi Dong said forcefully.
“Yeah.”
Qi Dongqiang also thought of this. Unlike Qi Lijin, he was more curious.
The two of them personally went to pick up the 19th commander of Zishan City.
The Nineteenth Commander-in-Chief was relatively satisfied with the attitude of the Lu royal family. The two alchemy monks personally came to pick him up, which also showed the Lu royal family's attitude towards their Zishan City.
It seems that the prestige of Zishan City has spread to the Dan-forming forces of the State of Lu.
"Nineteen Commanders, you came all the way to our Lu Kingdom and still came to see our royal family. Why?"
In the reception room of the Lu Kingdom's royal family, after greetings, Qi Li Jin then asked about the situation. In the history of their Lu royal family, there was no precedent for a monk from the Nascent Soul force to come to them. This was the first time.
Regardless of whether it is the Nascent Soul forces of the Ming Kingdom or the Fanyang Kingdom, they have no interest in the three small countries.
"The main thing is to talk about cooperation." Commander Nineteen replied.
Cooperation?
Both Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang had a question mark in their minds. Neither of them could think of any cooperation between the Lu royal family and the Yuanying power Zishan City.
Even if Zishan City wants to cooperate, it should find an equal Nascent Soul force.
Within the sphere of influence of Zishan City, many of the Dan-forming forces are affiliated with them, and among these Dan-forming forces, there are one or two that have reached the level of the Lu royal family.
"What kind of cooperation? I want the Nineteenth Commander to explain in detail."
"Well, I need you to deal with the Li family of Qingguo, and at the same time, our Zishan City will also provide some help." The Nineteenth Commander spoke.
"Dealing with the Li family of Qing Kingdom..."
Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang looked at each other. The Li family mentioned by the nineteen commanders of Zishan City was undoubtedly the current royal family of Qing Kingdom.
This in itself is a very good thing, but when the Nascent Soul forces seek cooperation with them, the situation is different and becomes a bad thing.
As the ancestor of the Lu royal family, Qili is very skilled in gold.
He first felt that there was definitely something wrong with this cooperation, and it might even lead to the destruction of the Lu royal family. You must know that the Zhao royal family was destroyed by the Li family, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Zhao royal family. .
Zishan City really wants to deal with the Qing Kingdom royal family. As Yuanying forces, they can do it directly. Generally speaking, there is no need to ask them for cooperation.
"What conflicts do you have with the Qingguo Li family?" Qilijin asked.
He needs to know specific information.
The conflict between Zishan City and the Qing royal family should be recent. If it had been before, the Lu royal family would have found out about it long ago.
Then it was not Zishan City who came to find them, but them who went to Zishan City.
"The death of our Deputy City Lord Lei has something to do with them." The Nineteenth Commander's answer was rather vague. Although the Lu royal family wanted to investigate carefully, it would not be difficult to understand what happened later, but in Now he needs the Lu royal family to agree to cooperate with their Zishan City.
Even though the Nineteenth Commander's answer was confused, both Qi Dongqiang and Qi Lijin were frightened by the news.
The deputy city lord of Zishan City is a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.
The death of the Yuanying monk is related to the Danjie monk... No matter what the specific situation is, the fact that the Qing royal family dares to enmity with the Yuanying forces shows that they have capital.
No matter you are strong, there are still people behind you. "Why don't you two talk?" The question was asked by two people. The Nineteenth Commander mainly looked at Qi Lijin.
“We were surprised by the news.” This reaction was quite normal, and Zilikin told the truth.
"Well, I was also surprised when I first heard the news." The Nineteenth Commander nodded in agreement, and then continued, "If the Li family of Qingguo dares to mess with our Zishan City, they will not end well!"
“This is also an opportunity for you, the royal family of the Lu Kingdom. Before, you were still thinking about expanding your influence in the Qing Kingdom.”
Before coming to the royal family of the Lu Kingdom, about They obviously did some research on the news about the Lu royal family, especially about the Lu royal family and the Qing royal family.
There were conflicts between the two royal families before.
The final result could be expected by the Nineteenth Commander. With Li Qianqing in the Li family, it would be difficult for the Lu royal family to expand their influence in Qing.
"That's right."
"Are you agreeing to cooperate?" The Nineteenth Commander heard this and asked immediately.
"It's a very important matter. Commander Nineteen, I think we need to digest the current situation carefully before we can give you an answer."
Qi Lijin wanted to postpone the matter first.
They need more specific information regarding the fact that the death of the deputy city lord of Zishan City is related to the Qingguo royal family.
This takes time.
"The faster we attack the Li family of Qingguo, the slower it will be for them to respond. You will have to give me a reply by dusk at the latest." When he said this, the Nineteenth Commander had already used A commanding tone.
Realizing that he was here to discuss cooperation, he softened his tone and added another sentence.
“Our partners in Zishan City in Lu State are not just your Lu State royal family. You came here first because your strength is recognized by us. If the cooperation fails, Lu State may not be the most popular one for your royal family in the future. Powerful.”
This sentence has a threatening meaning, but it also tells the Lu royal family that there are many benefits to cooperation with their Zishan City.
"Nineteenth Commander, please wait here. We need time to discuss and we will definitely give you a reply before dusk." Hearing this, Qili Jin was helpless and could only say this.
As a Nascent Soul-level force, Zishan City is fully capable of supporting the Dan-forming forces. The Lu royal family definitely does not want to see such a thing happen.
"Okay, I'll wait."
In the living room, the Nineteenth Commander was waiting while drinking the brewed spirit tea.
Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang have summoned all the Jiedan people in the ancestral land.
Except for one who was in retreat, all the other members of the Jiedan tribe came.
"...That's what happened."
Qi Dongqiang spoke first and explained the matter to the Jiedan clan members, including the fall of Qi Fengding.
“So, the deputy city lord of Zishan City died in Cangyun Realm.”
“I want to know whether the ancestor’s death has anything to do with the Qingguo Li family. If so, We will agree to cooperate with Zishan City! If not, you can think about it later." The Dan Jie junior who has the best relationship with Qi Fengding is now quite irritable.
If it is found that Qi Fengding's death is really related to the Li family, even if the family does not take action, he will secretly take revenge.
"Calm down. The death of Feng Ding's ancestor probably has nothing to do with the Li family. If it does, the Nineteenth Commander of Zishan City would have mentioned it a long time ago. He didn't say anything, which means he doesn't know about Feng Ding either. The ancestor has died in Cangyun Realm.”
“Well, although we don’t know the specific situation of Cangyun Realm, this makes sense. Zishan City knows that their deputy city lord has died in Cangyun Realm. Being related to the Li family in the Qing Dynasty means that it is easier to spread the news about what happened in Cangyun Realm. This further proves that the death of the Feng Ding ancestor has nothing to do with the Li family."
"I think Zishan City sent the Danjie monks here. , that is, to clarify their attitude. We must agree. If we don’t agree, it will be difficult.”
“What role did Li Qianqing play in the death of their deputy city lord?”
"It can be combined with the previous information analysis. I didn't believe that Li Qianqing of the Li family had the strength of half a Nascent Soul. Now I believe it. Zishan City wants us to give a reply before dusk today and won't give us more time. Go and understand the situation and explain that the main reason for the death of their deputy city lord is because of Li Qianqing!"
Braining together, the more the Lu royal family monks talked, the clearer everyone's ideas became.
After clearing his mind, Qilijin found that the Lu royal family was now in a dilemma.
Not agreeing to Zishan City will definitely offend them. After the Qing Kingdom Li family is really wiped out by them that day, it will be difficult for the Lu Kingdom royal family to maintain their current status in the Lu Kingdom.
If they agree to Zishan City and cooperate with them, they may become the second royal family to fall at the hands of the Li family like the Zhao royal family before the Li family of Qing is wiped out.
"Purple Mountain City seeks cooperation with us, and it is also important to explain something important."
"What?"
"They directly send monks to Qingguo. There are many monks needed, and this will take care of It becomes the emptiness of their power, so..."
"Fanyang Kingdom restrains their power"
"That's right! And it's still Nascent Soul's power."
"If everything is as we thought, we can first agree to Zishan City to cooperate with them, and then cooperate with the Qingguo Li family in private." Qilijin finally said.
None of the alchemy monks present had any objections.
At present, this is the best solution, but this can only temporarily save their family.
"Dong Qiang."
"Here, ancestor."
"I'll leave the private contact with the Li family to you, and you are more familiar with Qingguo."
"Yes."
After taking over this task, Qi Dongqiang was not happy, because The Lu royal family had conflicts with the Li family before, so this task was very difficult, and there couldn't be any mistakes. Once the negotiations with the Li family broke down, it would be over.
So before contacting the Li family monks, he first needed to know the maximum price that the Lu royal family could pay to achieve this cooperation with the Li family.
Tomorrow he plans to have a good talk with his ancestor Qili Jin.
After the discussion, this emergency meeting of the Lu royal family also ended.
This time, Qilijin came to the living room alone.
At this moment, the Nineteenth Commander sitting in the guest seat looked leisurely and contented.
“Nineteen commanders have been waiting for a long time.”
“It’s faster than I thought. What is your reply from the Lu royal family?”
"Before answering, I would like to know what the Nineteenth Commander can give us on behalf of Zishan City?" (End of Chapter)
