In Qian Chao's residence, five people were sitting together.
Qian Chao told his four companions everything about the meeting and conversation with Tian Shuangyou. Finally, Qian Chao said:
"To be honest, I am still a little tempted by Tian Shuangyou's proposal to cooperate. Cooperation must be mutually beneficial. If it is cooperation, we can learn from her the details of Tian Du's movements and the people he has found. It is convenient for us to deal with those people. But it is not clear what Tian Shuangyou wants. What we can guess is that she wants us to help her deal with Tian Du. In addition, it is unknown whether she has any other requests. Well, Although I am tempted, if I cooperate with her, it will be equivalent to all five of us cooperating with her, so we have to come back and discuss this matter with everyone."
Judging from the information provided by Tian Shuangyou, at least Qian Chao will face another crisis, and this time there is collusion between inside and outside. Tian Du and the man named Jing Jie teamed up to deal with Qian Chao, but Tang Ping thought even more after hearing this. Longer term, she said:
"Tian Shuangyou said something right. If the Tian family really has any ulterior motives or does anything tampering in the future, Mr. Qian, the sect will definitely use the Qian family to suppress the Tian family. She said that the Wuling Sect will take your Qian family to It is really possible to support a family of cultivators, but that is also the last resort for the sect and the Tian family to completely break up. Before that, in order to prevent the Tian family from going their own way, as a monk from Qi country, you must rush to the front. Go, you go, then we will definitely follow you. Well, looking at it this way, the five of us are really a sword to the Tian family. What I mean is that I am also inclined to cooperate with Tian Shuangyou Once, I guess she cooperated with us just to get rid of Tian Du and help her get rid of this enemy. Also, even if this thing is done, she can't have anything to do with her, so that the Tian family can't doubt her. , and at the same time solve the dilemma of the head of the Tian family continuing to force her to use deer spirit Gu against you. We might as well take a longer-term view. This time Tian Du and Jing Jie are colluding. In addition to cooperating, they want to get rid of Qian Boy. In addition, I dare to say that Tian Du must have other thoughts. He has contact with people like Jing Jie in the Wuling Sect. It may be more beneficial to him in the future. One day Tian Du will really be able to make the decision. As for the Tian family, there is also an insider like Jing Jie in the Wuling Sect, and the Tian family’s actions will make it more difficult for the sect to be wary. But on the other hand, after our cooperation with Tian Shuangyou this time, it is equivalent to A nail has been buried in the Tian family. This Tian Shuangyou will definitely not be very obedient, but according to Qian Xiaozi, that woman is at least a person who understands current affairs. She does not want to see the Tian family become a pawn for other forces to weaken the Wuling Sect. , at this point, we can continue to cooperate in the future, and even at critical moments in the future, it is not impossible to secretly give Tian Shuangyou a helping hand and help her gain a higher position in the Tian family. She must also think so, so we cooperate Things, in my opinion, are feasible.”
Yanxuan has been sitting next to Tang Ping. She listened carefully to both what Qian Chao said and what Tang Ping said, but there was one thing she was not sure about. As a disciple of Qixia Mountain who is good at refining elixirs, Yanxuan There are a lot of elixirs and elixirs that have been memorized in his mind, but Yanxuan is very unfamiliar with "Deer Spirit Gu". After Tang Ping finished speaking, Yanxuan asked Tang Ping:
"What exactly is the deer spirit Gu? Is it powerful?"
Tang Ping was startled after hearing this. She wanted to explain to her but was embarrassed to speak, so she leaned into Yanxuan's ear and whispered a few words. Yanxuan's face turned red as she listened. Then she looked at Tang Ping in disbelief, and Tang Ping nodded to her, then shook her head and said:
"Well, I agree with this cooperation."
What Li Jian paid attention to was different from others. The origins of Li Jian and Qian Chao were the most similar. They both came from prominent families in the world through the first class election. The only difference was that Li Jian came from a family of military generals, while Qian Chao's The Qian family has been a long-standing civil servant in the Qi State. Both their families were in danger because of a jade card, but they both benefited from the jade card, and both he and Qian Chao also benefited from the jade card. You can only come to Wuling Sect by choosing a jade card. After listening to Qian Chao's story, Li Jian realized that the jade plaque that was hanging on his grandfather's chest was an important item that could influence the situation of a country and even determine the survival of a family of practitioners!
For Qian Chao, the Tian family of Qi State may break out in the future, and it will be a trouble that needs to be solved. And Li Jian is not the same. Li Jian was born in the Liang State, and the Liang State was on the border with the Jin State. At the junction of Lingzong and Muyangzong, the enemy who controls the Jin State is the practicing family affiliated with the Muyangzong. There may be a time when the Liang State and the Jin State will meet again in the future, and Li Jian already knows Behind all this is actually the battle between the Wuling Sect and the Muyang Sect. If something happens again in the Liang Kingdom, like Qian Chao, he will definitely be dispatched, and these companions will definitely accompany him to help. Therefore, Whether looking at the present or the future, Li Jian supported Qian Chao, so he said:
"I also agree with the matter of cooperation."
Then only Lu Pingchuan has not expressed his position. Although Lu Pingchuan has no good impression of Tian Shuangyou, who has fought against Qian Chao, since Qian Chao said that we can cooperate, he will naturally not object and said:
"Brother Qian said it's no problem if we can cooperate, but we have to be more cautious. I always feel that the woman named Tian is not a good person."
So the cooperation with Tian Shuangyou was finalized.
But there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up, Tang Ping said:
"If we didn't have the status of being the leader of the Qi Refining Disciples, we certainly wouldn't have to worry about cooperating with Tian Shuangyou, but having this status would be a hindrance. At least when it comes to cooperating with her, we need someone in the meeting hall to vouch for us. Okay, the best candidate is of course my sixth grandfather. I will go and tell him about this matter later. I think he will not object if he can insert a nail into the Tian family. And when dealing with Tian Du and Jing Jie , if the sect helps us, it will be much easier for us. After all, Jing Jie’s identity is different. The most important thing is that after finally defeating Tian Du’s conspiracy, the sect will definitely imprison all the people in the Tian family. This matter means Big or small, I think the sect will not do anything to the Tian family because of this. If the Tian family takes the initiative to cut off their arms to survive, the sect will not be able to do anything to the Tian family. The most likely thing is to suppress the Tian family and let the Tian family continue to lie dormant. , cannot touch the foundation of the Tian family, and when the time comes to abolish Tian Du and preserve Tian Shuangyou at the same time, the sect still needs to do this, so this matter must be supported by the council."
Everyone nodded at Tang Ping's statement.
Li Jian said:
"Well, I learned from Brother Qian that all Tian Shuangyou can know is Tian Du's movements, but she has no way of knowing about Jing Jie. After cooperation, we can't focus entirely on Tian Du. As for Jing Jie's The more details we should know about the matter, the better. Miss Tang, if you know more about the affairs within the sect, is there anything you can do about this Jing Jie?"
Tang Ping said with some embarrassment:
"Jing Jie is a dandy, greedy, and arrogant... Well, I don't like dandies myself, and I usually don't want to get close to those people. I don't actually know much about Jing Jie. I just know him once I've met him. His identity is just that, and at most he knows some innocuous rumors, but those are of little help to the current matter. Moreover, in the eyes of those people, my identity is just that of a lowly dude, and they will not take the initiative to get close to me. , if I take the initiative to inquire, I might cause trouble."
Qian Chao thought and said:
"We should inquire about Jing Jie from someone who is familiar with the secrets of the sect and whom we can trust."
Tang Ping immediately said:
"Are you talking about Ma Hu?"
"Yes, he is the most suitable candidate."
"Yeah, that's right. Why did you forget about him?"
Yanxuan did not forget how Tian Du and Jing Jie colluded together. She said:
"I didn't expect that this matter is still related to Qin Suijie. He still hasn't given up yet. He has low cultivation and cannot deal with us personally. He actually deliberately encourages others to do it. It's really abominable!"
Tang Ping sneered:
"He has always been like this. He has always been hiding behind and watching others do things for him. If we do things well this time, we will definitely give him a hard time in the end!"
…
The second meeting with Tian Shuangyou was still in the wild wooden pavilion in the mountains.
Tian Shuangyou walked out of the forest quietly and couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw the situation in the pavilion, because there was more than one person in the pavilion. It was Qian Chao and five other people who were sitting there. Seeing her appear, The five people all looked over.
Qian Chao stepped forward and saluted slightly and said:
"Miss Tian, don't worry, we have arranged this place, and no outsiders will come in and make people suspicious. I said last time that if I cooperate with Miss Tian, all five of us will cooperate with Miss Tian, so this The five of us must be present when we confirm cooperation with Miss Tian this time. When we meet again in the future, I will contact Miss Tian myself, please."
As he spoke, Qian Chao invited Tian Shuangyou to sit in front of the table with his hands.
Today's scene was beyond Tian Shuangyou's expectation. She also guessed that Qian Chao's five people would most likely cooperate with her. Then Qian Chao was still here waiting for her today, but she didn't expect that all five people would arrive. Well, This was good, which showed that these five people valued her. As long as they could agree on something today, these five people would not regret it in the future. Thinking of this, Tian Shuangyou felt more at peace in his heart.
After sitting down, Tian Shuangyou said:
"I didn't expect the five of you to act so carefully. No wonder so many people tried to plot against you but failed."
Tang Ping sat opposite Tian Shuangyou and said:
"Cooperating with Miss Tian is a big deal for us. We must be cautious. As long as the five of us decide something together, we will definitely continue to do it. Miss Tian proposed cooperation, and the five of us discussed it and decided to accept it. With your kindness, from today onwards, we will officially start to join forces to deal with Tian Du and Jing Jie."
Tian Shuangyou said:
"Okay, but I have something to say first. I told Mr. Qian that day that my cooperation with you was just my resistance to the Tian family. This does not mean that I will betray the Tian family from now on. Can you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I understand. We can understand Miss Tian's situation. When we cooperate, we are doing it for ourselves and for the benefit of the sect. Miss Tian is doing it for herself and for the Tian family. At least for now, we have the same purpose. So please rest assured, Miss Tian, we will not put forward difficult conditions for you and let this cooperation fall by the wayside."
"Very good, thank you very much."
"Miss Tian, since we have decided to cooperate, let's talk in detail next. I don't know what Miss Tian has that we urgently need to know. And if Miss Tian has any requests, please tell her in person."
Hearing this, Tian Shuangyou took out a piece of paper from his body and gently pushed it towards Tang Ping. The page was densely packed with words.
"Some of the aristocratic families that Tian Du secretly sent people to contact for this matter are all on it. These aristocratic families secretly serve the Tian family, of course not all of them. He does not have the power to mobilize all the power. What is recorded on it This is probably all the power that Tian Du can mobilize no matter what method he uses. The people he chooses are all elite children from these aristocratic families, but how many people are sent out by each aristocratic family and who are they? I’m not sure. Of course I will continue to pay attention to the follow-up. The other is the time for them to take action. Well, because your Wuling Sect’s Cheng Guan grace test is approaching, and Mr. Qian is likely to be involved in this Cheng Guan grace test. Being challenged by others, if Mr. Qian disappears before then, it will inevitably attract unnecessary attention, so they chose to take action after the end of the grace test. The details of when their people will come in and the time to take action will be discussed later. There will be news, and I will tell you all when the time comes. Also, I don’t know what’s going on with Jing Jie who has joined forces with Tian Du. It’s up to you to figure it out yourself.”
What Tian Shuangyou said was that Bai Lin would challenge Qian Chao again during the Cheng Guan En Examination. Qian Chao took the initiative to challenge Bai Lin after defeating Tian Shuangyou before, and then defeated him badly. Tian Shuangyou was present at the time, so he knew this.
Tang Ping looked at the piece of paper in front of her and sighed to herself that the secret strength of the Tian family was really quite big. So many aristocratic families surrendered to the Five Spirits Sect on the surface, but secretly worked for the Tian family. This piece of paper alone was very rare, so she nodded and said :
"Well, we will find a way to inquire about Jing Jie's place. Miss Tian, please tell us any requests you have."
"My requirements are not high. The first thing is that even if Tian Du cannot be eliminated this time, he cannot be allowed to return to the Tian family. Also, it is also very important. Everything we do must not make the Tian family suspect me. , nothing more.”
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this and secretly thought that this woman was not greedy. She didn't even mention the deer spirit Gu. Thinking that she had her own solution, she said:
"This is not difficult, but if the Tian family does not doubt Miss Tian, Miss Tian may suffer some injustice in the end..."
"It doesn't matter, this is what it should be, I understand."
"That's good."
After talking in detail for a while, Qian Chao and the other five separated from Tian Shuangyou and quietly left here.
…
"My dear, there are quite a few."
In the room, Tang Bonian held a piece of paper full of words in one hand and held his cigarette pouch in the other. After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, Tang Bonian couldn't help but say something.
"Well, some of this we already know, and some of it, this is the first time I know about it. Girl, I have already told Elder Jiang in the council about your cooperation with Tian Shuangyou, and now I can only say He is just one person. Elder Jiang is also very interested in what you are going to do. Let me take charge of this matter and let you continue to do it. At the same time, we should also take a good look at Tian Shuangyou, a woman, to see what her character is and what her future will be like. Can she get a position in the Tian family? Even if she can't, you should hold her back. She might be useful in the future. Well, in my opinion, Tian Shuangyou is a woman who at least sees opportunities quickly. Tian Du approached Jing Jie, and she immediately She realized that her situation was not good, and for the sake of her future status in the Tian family, she immediately joined forces with her former rivals, this woman is extraordinary!"
Thinking of the deer spirit Gu, Tang Ping said:
"Tian Shuangyou is at least a woman with a bottom line. From this point of view, she is not the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals..."
These words made Tang Bonian blink his eyes thoughtfully for a while, and then he said:
"There is a bottom line in doing things, well, then she is destined to have some ups and downs in the Tian family in the future, and it will be difficult to get a job! Well, it's okay, people only think of friends when they have difficulties. She has ambitions, a bottom line, and difficulties. , when the time comes, you five will come in handy if you want to find someone to help. Well, if you pull the dragon ball from her, at least it won’t be a one-time deal, and it will still be useful in the future.”
"Grandpa Six, how powerful is the Tian family? Why is our sect so restrained against such a big family?"
"How powerful? Huh, the person who came to our sect this time is the person from Motianya. You always know this, right? Motianya was seriously injured after a fight with Jiugenyuan, and was targeted by Muyang Sect, so he couldn't Don't come to us to ask for help. In this way, Mu Yangzong must be extremely cautious when it comes to Motianya, fearing that he will suffer excessive losses under Motianya's desperate counterattack. Alas, let me tell you now, the strength of the Tian family has already reached this point. They are on top of the skyscraper, but they still have the name of a big family, and their strength cannot be underestimated, which is why our Wuling Sect has always been cautious about the Tian family."
This was the first time Tang Ping heard this statement, and she couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"The Tian family is so powerful?"
"Well, that's right. Alas, it was also a mistake in the sect's decision-making many years ago. At that time, I was only at the level of foundation building. Years of raising tigers led to the current situation. Now that the disease is gone like a thread, I can't directly To pierce this pustule, we can only find ways to weaken them bit by bit. It is not impossible to eliminate them completely, but we will also have to bear a lot of losses. We cannot do this when powerful enemies are around us. In addition, there are still many people behind the Tian family. There are shadows of several other large sects, and the matter is complicated, so we have to be cautious."
"I see."
"With this list, I will send people to keep an eye on these aristocratic families. Girl, this matter doesn't look simple. The Tian family is personally involved, and Jing Jie is also involved. Are you five sure?"
"You have to let a few of us give it a try. At least Mr. Qian is still full of confidence. You must not alert the aristocratic families on the list, otherwise our plan will be aborted. As for Jing Jie, we I will think of a way, and I will definitely find out his arrangements. Also, I want you to take care of the four towns outside the sect, so that people can take a closer look and see how those people came in. Jing Jie is involved. I always suspect that the foundation-building brothers stationed in the four towns are working for Jing Jie. If they are really found out, such people must be dealt with in the end, otherwise we ourselves will not feel at ease."
"Well, it's all up to you. I'm not afraid of how big your efforts will be this time, as long as you can get the results the sect wants. One more thing, you must catch a few alive this time, but you can't bring them back like last time. They are all corpses. As long as there are survivors, you have just poked a big hole in the sky, and the Assembly Hall can fill it up for you."
