"Have you seen today's guest? Who is that person? He looks so young."
"Yes, and I'm sitting next to Senior Yu. We seem to have a good relationship with him."
"As the saying goes, the sun and the moon rise in the east and set in the west. The left west dies again, and the right east esteems life. Her ability to sit in the third seat on the right hand must be very important to the general. Even Senior Tang, who is in the top 100 in the combat power list, can only sit on the left hand. "
Tang Jinshan snorted coldly and came out of the corner, his heavy power inadvertently dissipated.
The two gossiping monks had earth-colored faces, lowered their heads and trembled, and apologized repeatedly. After he walked past them and left, they dared to raise their heads, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief. This work was really not done by humans.
At this time, the conference has ended, and the guests and several top names stayed in the palace to rest and prepare for the evening banquet.
Zhou Yongyuan was meditating in his room when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He opened the door and saw two monks running in. They raised their hands and shouted "Brother Taoist".
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to have too much contact with me?" Zhou Yongyuan's consciousness circled around the corridor and closed the door after making sure no one was paying attention.
These two monks were a man and a woman whom Zhan Changfeng had met before. Their names were Ding Jing and Ding Bao, and they were members of the Ding family in Heshui.
Ding Jing pretended not to see Zhou Yongyuan's disapproving eyes and said respectfully, "According to Brother Taoist's instructions, I have sent someone to perform in front of Tang Jinshan, but... Brother Taoist, are you sure it will be useful?"
Zhou Yongyuan didn't want to waste words in his heart, but after all, he was entrusted by others and couldn't drive them out even after taking their money. "Tang Jinshan is arrogant and conceited, and he can't hide things. He must be dissatisfied with the seat arrangement, but he can keep it when he is there." As a backup, if Zhan Changfeng also participates in the fight at the dinner party, you can use Tang Jinshan to kick her out and free up the quota."
Ding Bao then asked, "How will we replace the members of the Ding family in the future? Besides, Brother Dao is really sure that everyone at the table today was selected by the general?"
Zhou Yongyuan snorted, "That's still false, otherwise you wouldn't have found me. Judging from Ran Nian's attitude, even if she wasn't before, she should be now."
"If the sword had not been stolen and the General's Mansion was forced to put up a notice to look for it, it would not have been shaken out and found in an unknown secret place. How could you aristocratic families have heard the news and made such a fuss as to make the news public?"
"I have said before that she will recruit ten strong men to explore together. You Buhui, as her junior brother, must be among them. Fengshanhai is enshrined in the General's Mansion and there will be no shortage of him even for medical personnel. To balance the interests, The three major clans, Luo, Shi and Zhong, each have one person. Let’s take a look at the remaining four. Whether it’s Tang Jinshan, Zuo Zhuzhi, Lin Youxia or me, they are all Sanren. It can be seen that the four of us are actually considered thugs. , she and the three families were the ones who finally divided the mining rights of the secret realm. The fact that the Ding family didn’t get the quota is because they didn’t give enough benefits. As for Zhan Changfeng, I heard that she was not summoned like the four of me, and it is very likely that she was not. Come to fight for mining rights.”
Ding Jing and Ding Bao were indignant and did not dare to say anything. The family had communicated with the General's Mansion many times, but they were all rejected. They thought that the General's Mansion was hanging on to them, and they would be able to get the only remaining spot in the end. Unexpectedly, they came out inexplicably. A Zhan Changfeng.
"Whether it is or not, Brother Dao just needs to kick that person out first. Then my ancestor will personally come forward to convince the general. It is absolutely impossible for the general's mansion and those three families to swallow the entire secret realm."
"The dinner is your last chance. I will only help you this time." Zhou Yongyuan said.
"You!" Thinking of the patriarch's instructions, Ding Bao begged, "Brother Dao, please do your best. The Ding family has prepared one hundred thousand spirit stones and several magic weapons. Once the matter is accomplished, I will give it to Brother Dao."
Ding Jing's words were complimentary, but there was a hint of aggression, "I've heard that Brother Dao is very talented, and he will definitely not disappoint us."
Zhou Yongyuan shook his head, "I can only help from the side now. Whether I can sit down or not depends on your Ding family."
"But we can't find the conditions that will make the general's heart beat."
"Oh," Zhou Yongyuan seemed to be looking at two fools, "Then go and see what the other three families ceded. In fact, your family elders already knew what to do. It's just a question of whether you want to give up. I don't think you want to. Just give up, who knows where the secret realm is and what its value is, it’s all a matter of course, and I’m not afraid that it will all come to nothing in the end.”
Ding Jing secretly despised him. Although he had the reputation of being intelligent, he was just an ordinary person in the end. How could he know the plans among the forces? If there was a treasure mountain, it didn’t matter whether it was empty or not, just dig it first. What’s more, this time it was just in the name of exploration. The members who laid the foundation for the division, but if the Ding family can't even take this first step, how can we talk about future distribution.
"Brother Taoist, just do it. The Ding family will not lose money to Brother Taoist." Ding Jing also knew that he was afraid that the general would find out about this private transaction, so he said goodbye in a hurry.
Zhou Yongyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, closed the door, hummed a small tune, and continued to meditate.
At the beginning of the day, lotus lanterns were placed on the river, and the brilliant colors reflected into the river. At this time, the dome of the palace became transparent. Looking up, you could see the light of swimming fish and candles, and the silhouettes of boats and people, but they were too high and too far away, as if Looking at another blurry world.
When Ran Nian entered Zhan Changfeng's room, she opened the door through Yan Wei. The big fat doll opened the door and slipped three meters away, making Ran Nian smile sheepishly. Alas, she just likes cute things. It's easy for her.
"Fellow Daoist Zhan."
"General." Zhan Changfeng leaned against the transparent wall, looking away from the dark river, closing the book and nodding in return, "General, what advice do you have?"
Ran Nian saw the ink pen in her hand, "Are you disturbing fellow Taoist?"
"I just have nothing to do to record something."
"I didn't expect fellow Taoist to be so elegant, but it might be more convenient to use jade slips." Rannian walked to the transparent wall, one meter away from her, "fellow Taoist, what do you think of the scenery at the bottom of the river?"
"very nice."
"You can see well in such darkness?" She seemed surprised.
The palace at night seemed to be in a deep and sinking dream. If you stepped out, you would fall into the unknown darkness. Zhan Changfeng calmly replied, "It is naturally good to have outstanding people gathered together."
Ran Nian's expression was as high as an eagle flapping its wings, "You Buhui should have revealed something to you. We have discovered a new secret realm. However, due to some reasons, the army cannot move, so we have to recruit foundation building masters to explore together. Would you like to join?"
"There are many foundation-building masters in the general's mansion, right?"
"Indeed, it's a pity that I'm not as good as you who can fight a hundred, and I've already sacrificed a few in the first two explorations."
So we can no longer let the foundation-building masters of the General Mansion sacrifice themselves?
"Remuneration and conditions?" Zhan Changfeng asked.
Rannian looked at her, his eyes sliding over her dull face, and he smiled, "I said, even building a foundation may not make it out alive."
"You also said that we people can fight against a hundred."
"Happy, as a personal hire, you will get a salary of 80,000 yuan regardless of success or failure. After you come out, the income must be traded to the general's government. There is also a confidentiality contract that needs to be signed. Do you accept it?"
This condition can be said to be harsh, equivalent to that of a professional mercenary. Zhan Changfeng pondered for a moment, "Can the 80,000 yuan be paid in advance?"
"Huh?" Ran Nian thought for a moment that he had heard wrong. Then he looked at the expressionless man who was looking at him seriously.
"Lack of money."
"I can see it." Ran Nian couldn't help but think of You Buhui telling her about this man's blatant robbery in the Jinwu Palace. She thought it was intentional to shock, but shock may not necessarily be the case. Lack of money seemed to be a sure thing.
Ran Nian didn't bring too many spirit stones with him, and he was afraid that something might happen again, so he said, "Fellow Taoist, are you free now? Why don't you go to my room first? I will give you the spirit stones, and we can sign an agreement and discuss it." detail."
"Okay." Zhan Changfeng casually placed the booklet and ink pen on the table and left with Rannian.
The booklet and the ink pen were not placed well. Half of the booklet was hanging on the edge of the table. The ink pen rolled around on the table, hit the booklet, and fell down together. The pages of the book were turning with a roar, and there was a long line on the ground. Ink marks.
Lianwei stepped forward to pick up the book, and accidentally saw a pattern drawn on it, like a snake. She subconsciously looked at the words next to it, but she had never seen them before. How dare she peek at what others had written, so she quickly picked them up. Get up and put it back together.
