"I see."
Li Qingfeng nodded. He knew that Li Qingdong must have something else to say. After all, in the case of the Zhou family, the Li family only played the role of a transporter and could not affect anything. Since the Zhou family wanted to increase the frequency of smuggling, , then just follow the luck here. If the benefits of smuggling were not so great, Li Qingdong probably would not have mentioned this matter specifically.
Sure enough, Li Qingdong looked at Li Qingfeng's expression and continued: "In October, the Jinding Sect sent people to our place to recruit monks. They said that in accordance with the treaty in the Jinding Mountain Collegial Conference on the joint defense of foreign enemies between all the sects, we must send monks to provide services. Jinding Sect drove us, or used materials as collateral. Since we had previously set a low-key development strategy, I sent Qing'an out, and I also cooperated with their requests for material dispatch and other aspects."
"Well, you did a good job." Li Qingfeng praised it, thought for a moment, and asked: "According to the Jinding Mountain Collegiate, the monks sent by each family will be given priority to be responsible for the tasks around them. Where is Qing'an sent? Yes? Do you know what mission you are performing?"
"I asked." Li Qingdong nodded: "Their mission is to suppress the rogue cultivators in the area of Yang County and Da'an County. They are led by foundation-building monks and divided into several teams. Qing'an is in Yang County, close to Yuepan Mountain. Among the first team here, a call-up period is three months, and he should be back by early next month."
Hearing Li Qingdong say that the mission of the Jinding Sect monks is to "clear out the rogue cultivators", Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and remembered that during the battle in April, Peng Yulong shouted, "Only kill the foundation building, regardless of Qi training." " At that time, he thought that Peng Yulong was just trying to break the enemy's resistance, but now it seems that it may not be just this purpose.
According to the information Li Qingfeng received from Zhang Pengyi, although the new Jinding Mountain Collegiate Agreement on the Jinding Sect leading various families to jointly defend against foreign enemies was rewritten, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this treaty includes the Jinding Sect's expansion of its influence. Therefore, most of the powerful affiliated forces under its sect are not very interested in it and dare not confront it head-on. However, overt and covert violations are definitely unavoidable. It can be said that although the Jinding Sect has spent a lot of energy and resources, But there's still not much progress on this front.
The top management of Jinding Sect is not a fool and will definitely take action. Now it seems that Peng Yulong’s behavior of releasing a large number of Zhennan loose cultivators during the Qi training period was one of his countermeasures. Perhaps those loose cultivators who were released were They did not have enough impact on each family, but they did provide a certain degree of external pressure and gave the Jinding Sect an excuse to take action. Li Qingfeng guessed that those foundation-building monks who escaped at that time might not necessarily be killed— -Wouldn't it be better to let them disrupt the situation so that each family has to rely more on Jinding Sect?
What's more, Li Qingfeng believes that if the Jinding Sect wants to be more extreme, it can completely raise a group of outside casual cultivators to be responsible for beating those disobedient affiliated forces - isn't this how the Chiyun Sect came to be?
It's just that you can do this kind of thing, but you can't do it too much, and you can't be caught. Otherwise, once the affiliated families unite to resist, even if the Jinding Sect is a core formation force, it will be too much to bear.
"Okay, please notify me as soon as possible if there is any action at the Jinding Sect later on." After thinking briefly, Li Qingfeng said: "Generally, we still focus on low-key development. As long as their demands are not excessive, we will cooperate when necessary."
Li Qingdong nodded, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the Li family was newly established, with too few people, too little foundation, and very few channels for obtaining information from the outside. Even now, they basically still rely on outside caravans and scattered groups. Xiuhe, Zhang and Fan jointly set up a transportation team to obtain information from the outside world. In this case, if there is any unexpected situation that may affect the Li family, it will be difficult for the Li family to respond in time. Therefore, Li Qingfeng The others can only choose to keep a low profile and try to ensure that the fire does not burn to their Li family.
Then, Li Qingdong told two more things. One was about Dong Zheng. It had been half a year since he arrived at the Li family. Li Qingfeng had arranged for him a teaching position in the clan. He was usually responsible for teaching young clan members to read and read together with Li Hetai. , and is responsible for the explanation of common sense in the world of immortality and the compilation of teaching materials in this area.
According to Li Qingdong's observation, Dong Zheng not only did not complain at all about these arrangements, but also seemed to enjoy them. In addition to teaching and writing books on weekdays, he would just sit in the yard and read the Bible. He was so leisurely that even his gray hair was There is something about turning dark. To be honest, this person is more like a mortal scholar than a cultivator of immortality.
Gu Zhen and Li Qingfeng were also a little amused by this, so they just ordered Li Qingdong to continue to observe, while secretly thinking to themselves, if there is nothing wrong with Dong Zheng, he can gradually let him take over Li Hetai's position, but he still has to find a way to make the other party feel at ease. In the Li family - letting one of your clan members marry his daughter is a good choice.
While thinking secretly in his mind, Li Qingfeng listened to Li Qingdong talk about the second thing.
This incident is about Wangjia Village in the north. Since May this year, small groups of villagers from Wangjia Village have been going south one after another. The difference from before is that most of these villagers going south are elders of their own clans. According to their relatives, several clan elders in Wangjia Village seemed to have encountered ghosts. However, perhaps out of fear, the clan elders did not say much to their clansmen, but secretly arranged for them to go south to Li, where they were protected by immortals. Settled in the village.
As soon as he heard this, Li Qingfeng immediately understood that this was the reason why Zuo Ni suspected him. Fortunately, he did not choose to kill these people at the time. Otherwise, Zuo Ni would have been able to confirm on the spot that he was the murderer. The murderer of Yu Zihua’s grandson.
Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was no change in his face. He ordered: "Just arrange it normally. Send someone to pay attention to the affairs of Wangjia Village. Do it more naturally."
"Understood." Li Qingdong nodded. Li Qingfeng didn't hide Li Yuming's origins or Zuo Ni's previous temptation from him. Now that Li Qingfeng only mentioned it, he understood what the other party meant.
"One last thing."
As he spoke, Li Qingdong reached out and took out an invitation with gold edges from his arms, handed it to Li Qingfeng and said: "Senior Fan Mingcheng of the Fan family has successfully established a foundation. This is an invitation to invite you to participate in his foundation building." Ceremony.”
"He built a foundation?"
Li Qingfeng's face showed some joy. He reached out to take the invitation and opened it on the spot. Isn't the familiar font in it the same as Fan Mingcheng's?
"Hahaha, okay!" Li Qingfeng was very happy. The Fan family and the Li family were geographically close and closely connected in terms of interests. He also had a good personal relationship with Fan Mingcheng. From the perspective of interests and personal emotions, the other party could build a foundation. This is absolutely a good thing for the Li family.
There is no doubt that Fan Mingcheng's invitation this time is not just for the foundation building ceremony. He must take this opportunity to bring together the foundation building monks from Zhang, Fan, and Li families to discuss the situation and alliance issues. Li Qingfeng looked at the time on the invitation and saw that it would be the beginning of spring next March. If it wasn't mentioned, he would definitely go there in person.
