Chapter 263 Armistice
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn't dare to neglect the Bishui Jiange's summons.
After all, the last summons was about the change of Yan State.
I don’t know why the Bishui Jiange called them over this time.
At the moment, the couple briefly talked about the situation with Jiang Renyi.
Afterwards, without delay, they rushed to the Bishui Jiange.
It was almost the same as last time, when Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came to the meeting hall of Bishui Jiange, they found that there were already many people sitting here.
Most of them are their acquaintances.
Pavilion Master Hou Dongbai, Supreme Elder Gu Yuefeng, Elder Liuhuo, etc.
Including Wen Shujun of Tianyue Sect, Li Mingkong is also on the list.
Besides these acquaintances, there were two more strangers in the field.
After Hou Dongbai's introduction, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally knew that the two strangers in front of them were another Supreme Elder from the Bishui Sword Pavilion, Qin Menglan, who had a third-level Golden Core cultivation, and was also among the five Supreme Elders of the Bishui Sword Pavilion. The only nun.
and a middle-aged man with a rather elegant face.
Yu Haoji of Tianyuezong.
The Taoist companion of one of his disciples used to have a master-student status with the Lie Huo Zhenzong.
She once even wanted to take advantage of her husband's relationship to seek revenge from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
But it didn't work.
After Jiang Chengxuan and his team's records were reported, Yu Haoji asked someone to bring them news, saying that he didn't know about those things at the beginning, and hoped that there would be no unnecessary misunderstanding between each other. .
Regarding this, the couple also expressed their understanding at the time.
When the two sides met at this time, Yu Haoji really showed a rather polite attitude.
I just heard him say: "I have long heard that Jiang Daoyou and Shen Xianzi are very talented. Yu, I have always wanted to get to know the two of you, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity. Today, I finally let me see the real face." .”
As he said that, Yu Haoji stood up on his own initiative, and hugged the couple with a smile.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw this, they smiled and cupped their fists in return.
"You Daoist Yu is too polite."
As they spoke, the couple greeted other acquaintances present one by one.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries with each other, Hou Dongbai, who was in charge of hosting the meeting, looked at everyone present and said with a serious expression:
"Everyone, one of the main reasons for calling everyone here this time is because of the current war between our five countries."
Seeing Hou Dongbai talking about this, everyone present, including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, couldn't help being shocked.
Everyone knows that the war of the five countries has gone through many years so far.
Whether it is the alliance of Zheng and Shu, or the three of them, there are actually losses to varying degrees.
Hou Dongbai suddenly mentioned this at this time, does it mean that something happened that they didn't know?
Sure enough.
Just listen to Hou Dongbai continue: "To tell you the truth, not long ago, I received a message from Yuan Yanggu of Zheng State and the head of Qianfazong of Shu State.
They represent their respective countries and want to sign an armistice agreement with our three countries. "
"What?"
Suddenly hearing Hou Dongbai's words, besides the people from the Bishui Jiange, Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, and the three members of the Tianyue Sect, all of them could not help but show some expressions of astonishment.
They obviously didn't expect that the alliance between Zheng and Shu would send them a request for a truce.
This is really a strange thing.
You must know that in the past, the alliance between Zheng and Shu was actually slightly overwhelming the three countries.
Acting is quite domineering.
If it weren’t for this, things like Fukuyama Wolf King wouldn’t have happened during the Monster Beast Rebellion.
But right now, they are actively asking them for a truce.
Isn't this a disguised form of subduing them to the Three Kingdoms?
How could the sects and families of Zheng and Shu countries do this kind of thing?
Could it be that it was because of the loss of four golden cores from the two countries before, which brought the strength between the two sides closer, which led to their behavior?
Theoretically, this seems to make some sense, but in practice, this is not like their style.
Among them, there must be some truth that they don't know.
At this moment, no matter whether it was Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or the three golden pills of Tianyue Sect, they couldn't help showing a trace of suspicion on their faces.
I heard Li Mingkong from Tianyue Sect say: "Master Hou Pavilion, is what you said true?
Will this be another conspiracy or calculation by their Zheng and Shu countries against our three countries? "
After Li Mingkong finished speaking, Jiang Chengxuan and the others present all looked at Hou Dongbai.
Hou Dongbai replied: "This matter should be true without a doubt, because they have clearly stated in the subpoena that we can sign a blood oath contract regarding the armistice agreement.
Whether it is our three countries or their alliance between Zheng and Shu, within a certain time limit, no more wars of any kind are allowed. "
Hearing Hou Dongbai's words, Jiang Chengxuan and others finally believed in the truce request made by Zheng and Shu.
Since he is willing to sign the blood oath contract, the probability of violation is very small.
Because that price is definitely not something that Zheng and Shu can afford.
But at the same time, Jiang Chengxuan and the three people from Tianyue Sect also noticed.
The truce agreement mentioned by the other party refers to the two parties, that is, the alliance of Zheng and Shu, and the three countries, and it does not specifically refer to individuals, or a certain sect or family.
In other words, if one of them or a certain family conflicts with the other party's golden core, or even a life-and-death battle, it is not within the scope of this contract.
As long as the two sides do not break out in a war of this magnitude, it is not considered a breach of contract.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly said:
"Master Hou, do you know why they want to stop this war with us?
I don't believe that with the behavior styles of the two countries, they would swallow that breath so easily. "
The tone Jiang Chengxuan said here naturally refers to the fact that they were killed by the Three Kingdoms against the four golden elixir.
And this question is also something that everyone present wants to know.
However, Hou Dongbai shook his head this time.
"Jiang Daoyou, the question you mentioned is actually what I can't figure out the most and what I feel puzzled about.
But this question, you and I are currently doomed to have no way to get a specific answer. It can only be investigated and inquired slowly in the future.
The most urgent thing is that we still need to discuss and discuss first. Regarding the alliance between Zheng and Shu and asking us for a truce, what do you think? Do you think you should agree to them? "
It is undeniable that what Hou Dongbai said was not wrong.
Right now, I want to figure out why the Zheng-Shu alliance has such an abnormal behavior. It is obviously not something that can be figured out in a short while.
Instead of putting all your mind on those issues, you might as well seriously consider whether you really want to agree to them about the truce.
Regarding this, Yu Haoji was the first to express his opinion.
I just heard him say: "If the two of us can sign a blood oath contract, then I think this matter can be promised to them.
After all, with the strength of both of us, if we continue to fight like this, it won't make much sense except to consume each other's strength in vain. "
His point of view was quickly recognized by Li Mingkong and Wen Shujun.
After all, what they asked for at the beginning was just to show their uncompromising attitude.
Now that the goal has been achieved, if it continues to be consumed like that, it will obviously be a bit worth the loss.
Gu Yuefeng and Elder Liuhuo also agreed with Yu Haoji's point of view.
The same is true for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Although I feel that there may be some inside story that they don't know.
But as Hou Dongbai said, it is not something that can be done in a short while to figure out the situation.
The top priority is to implement the truce as soon as possible.
"Since everyone agrees, this matter has been decided like this."
Seeing Hou Dongbai looking at the crowd, he said: "According to what they said in the message, if we agree to a truce, then it will be convenient for us to go to the junction of our two borders five days later to sign a blood oath contract.
At that time, one of the golden elixir from each faction or family of our two sides must be present. "
As Hou Dong's vernacular words fell, the whole matter came to an end.
Five days later.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, together with Bishui Jiange, Tianyue Sect, and Jindan monks from Yun and Yan, signed an armistice agreement with the Jindan monks from Zheng and Shu alliances, and made a blood oath contract .
Since then, the War of the Five Nations, which lasted for several years, has come to an end temporarily.
On the way back, Hou Dongbai could not help but send a voice transmission to Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, reminding them to be careful of the monks of Zheng and Shu in the future.
Especially the Dingyuanhou Mansion.
Whether it was the original grievances between the two of them, or the fact that Jiang Chengxuan beheaded Shangguan Yongchang in the current Battle of the Five Kingdoms, and their Jiang family occupied the resources and mines of their Dingyuanhoufu, it was enough to make Dingyuanhoufu treat them The Jiang family hated it to the bone.
If they fail, their people will look for opportunities to attack them.
This point is not within the scope of the blood oath contract.
Regarding this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both said that they would pay attention to this matter.
After the couple returned to Mount Taixuan, the Patriarch Jiang Renyi immediately came to find him.
Obviously, he had already been notified by Jiang Chengxuan about what Jiang Chengxuan and the others did this time.
Come here now, naturally to ask for the result.
Just listen to Jiang Chengxuan: "Renyi, you can inform Rendao and my fifth uncle that they can come back."
"Um?"
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan's words, Jiang Renyi's heart immediately moved.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said: "The relevant truce agreement has been signed. Before the next monster rebellion comes, the two sides must not break out of any form of war."
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan's words, Jiang Renyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, on the side of the copper vein, there must be monks at the Zifu level stationed."
Then I heard Jiang Chengxuan continue: "Let Mr. Xu stay there for the time being, and when we have a suitable person here, we will go over to replace him."
Regarding Jiang Chengxuan's arrangement, Jiang Renyi naturally had no objection, and nodded immediately upon hearing this.
Small area.
He couldn't help showing a look of hesitation on his face.
Jiang Chengxuan noticed his strangeness, and immediately asked:
"What's wrong, Renyi, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Renyi hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still said to Jiang Chengxuan:
"Uncle, I heard that in our family's treasury, there are still many spiritual objects that can be used to promote the Purple Mansion?"
Jiang Chengxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a half-smile:
"What? Is someone here looking for you?"
Jiang Renyi smiled wryly, then nodded and said:
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Uncle.
Not long ago, my second brother Ren Chuan, as well as Shen Baifei and Shen Rushuang from the Shen family, all came to find me and asked if they could withdraw in advance the matter of being promoted to the spirit of the Purple Mansion.
Especially the two members of the Shen family, I think their lifespan seems to be running out. If it continues to drag on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait until the day when they accumulate enough contributions. "
"Yeah?"
Jiang Chengxuan turned his head and glanced at Shen Ruyan beside him, then smiled and said to Jiang Renyi:
"You are right, there are indeed many spiritual objects in our family treasury that can be used to promote the Purple Mansion.
There are only two pieces of Zixia jade.
In addition, there are five Zitian Pills.
In addition, there are some crystals of the five elements and purple real pills. "
"This...so much?"
Jiang Renyi was taken aback.
He is really not very clear about what Jiang Chengxuan said now.
But when he came back to his senses, an expression of unstoppable excitement suddenly appeared on his face.
Obviously, if all the things Jiang Chengxuan said are used well, they might be able to let the Jiang family have many more monks at the level of the Zifu.
This will definitely greatly enhance the overall strength and heritage of their Jiang family.
Moreover, if there are a few more Zifu-level monks, their Jiang family's manpower will not be so short.
You must know that Jiang family is now a Jindan fairy clan, and they have a lot of industries in the entire Liang country, and even in the Three Kingdoms.
And many of these industries have to be guarded by monks at the Zifu level.
But therein lies the problem.
Even with the addition of the three Zifu from the Shen family, their manpower of monks from the Zifu of the Jiang family is still far from enough.
Thinking of this, Jiang Renyi couldn't help but said again:
"Then uncle, can we now...?"
However, before Jiang Renyi could finish speaking this time, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head with certainty and said:
"Renyi, you should be clear that the main reason why a family or sect can continue without any major internal problems is its system.
Only if everyone can abide by the system and rules, can a family or sect grow gradually and have a good cohesion.
If you and I take the lead in destroying and violating the system established by you and me, think about it yourself, what will happen in the future? "
After speaking, Jiang Renyi was speechless.
indeed.
Jiang Chengxuan was right.
If even the leaders like them take the lead in violating the family system and rules, then the people below will naturally follow suit.
Over time, the system and rules of their clan will become useless.
Just as these thoughts were flashing through Jiang Renyi's mind, Jiang Chengxuan said again:
"However, there are exceptions to everything. As the saying goes, rules are dead, but people are alive.
Under the premise of not violating the system and rules of the clan, this kind of thing is not without a solution. "
