Chewing down on Qingfeng Xiaoyulou is equivalent to breaking off one of Ke Xinyu's arms.
As long as Qingfeng Xiaoyulou can stand firmly on his side, Liuyan Castle can't stand alone. Even if he supports Ke Xinyu, the threat to him has been halved.
Two days later, when Zang Kun successfully broke through the Nascent Soul stage and officially took over as the leader.
The two ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the acting head of Liuyan Castle, and several elders of Liuyan Castle were invited to attend the ceremony. Because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to frequently move around with the outside world, it is necessary to go to these entertainments. However, what makes everyone confused is that according to the nature of the two sects, Minister Jiang usually does not directly invite Vice Minister Ke. Why did he do this this time? Invite both of them over.
"Minister Jiang, the succession ceremony for the head of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower will be held at their mountain gate outside the city. Let's go together."
Ke Xinyu deliberately disgusted Jiang Yun. As long as he walked with Jiang Yun, the two sects would definitely only greet him. Recently, the two female agency heads were coaxed by him to be happy, and they would definitely give him this face. On the other hand, Jiang Yun In the past few days, apart from staying in the courtyard to deal with chores, I have been practicing quietly alone.
The Foreign Affairs Department needs people who can make connections! You little kid is still too young.
"good!"
Jiang Yun also smiled and agreed, and the two of them took the Fire Bird and the Cloud Magical Artifact and left the city.
The mountain gates of the eight sects in the city are not too far from the county seat. This is because after they are selected as sects recognized by the ancient government, they will basically build a large main rudder in the county seat. For the sake of ancient communication, they will move the mountain gate closer to the county seat. The ancient relocation was also for the purpose of sanitation of the county and to show sincerity to the patrol.
The two of them arrived at the mountain gate of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Building after a short flight over a cup of tea.
This mountain gate is built in a very grand manner, with three mountains as the foundation. Three towering attics on the mountain stand in a triangular shape on the top of the mountain. The buildings on both sides are half a head taller, guarding the wider and more majestic mountain peak in the middle.
At the foot of the mountain, many people had stopped at this time, and Jiang Yun, who was far away, saw Zang Huang and his disciples welcoming the guests.
"Hey, the ancient master of Liuyan Castle is here too." Ke Xinyu saw the people of Liuyan Castle flying from another ancient direction not far away, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Deputy Minister Ke, Minister Jiang." Head Gu is the current acting head of Liuyan Castle.
The other elders in their sect were all equally powerful, and the position of leader was still not settled for a while. Therefore, for the time being, the woman surnamed Gu will still be the agent.
According to what Jiang Yun learned from Zang Huang, this ancient leader was not the strongest, nor the oldest, nor the most powerful.
The reason why she can act as an agent is simply because she has some relationship with their supreme elder, so other people in the sect are convinced by her.
Seeing Ke Xinyu clinging to him, the woman surnamed Gu nodded kindly and said hello to Jiang Yun. For an institution like Ditingyuan, there was no need to offend someone before she became the official head. A young minister.
Ke Xinyu's expression paused, but he still went up to talk with great interest.
Jiang Yun stood nearby as if he was Ke Xinyu's assistant from Ditingyuan, standing so quietly beside him.
The two Jindanqi elders following behind Master Gu smiled disdainfully at Jiang Yun's back. They had long heard that the Minister of Foreign Affairs was being manipulated by Ke Xinyu, but they didn't expect to dare to say a word now.
Jiang Yun noticed their gazes and remained silent.
The arrival of the two groups obviously attracted Zang Huang's attention, and Zang Huang hurried over. Jiang Yun noticed that the guests he had just received seemed to be a certain minister from the Diting General Hospital, and he had a vague impression of it.
"Master Zang, congratulations!"
Head Gu and Deputy Minister Ke smiled and clasped their fists together and blessed.
"Thank you." Zang Huang smiled politely at the two of them, then greeted them warmly, clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Minister Jiang! I didn't expect that Minister Jiang would be free to come today. Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower warmly welcomes you!"
"I have received the invitation from the noble sect. Head Zang still has to come when he takes office." Jiang Yun did not expect that Gu Gu would not give him face. Now this was obviously a direct slap in Ke Xinyu's face, which made him slightly satisfied. After all, the Zang Kun in front of him is a Nascent Soul stage master and is in the position of the leader. Even if he ignores him, he can't replace Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower.
Ke Xinyu on the side was stunned. Did I read it correctly? Is the newly appointed head Zang of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Building so enthusiastic about Jiang Yun? Could they have known each other before? Otherwise, why would they be so close? They are acquaintances at first glance!
His eyes widened as if he couldn't figure out how these two people knew each other?
Leader Gu unexpectedly glanced at the two people chatting enthusiastically, and then glanced at the stunned Ke Xinyu, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Minister Jiang, Head Gu, Vice Minister Ke, and several elders, please come in."
Zang Huang didn't seem to see Ke Xinyu's eyes, and enthusiastically invited several people in to join the banquet.
Hearing this title, Ke Xinyu's face turned dark. It was enough that he was ranked behind Jiang Yun, but he was actually ranked behind Master Gu? He wouldn't believe it if it wasn't intentional!
Something doesn’t seem right about today’s banquet!
A group of people followed the disciples of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower up the mountain gate and all the way to the top. At this time, there were ten banquet tables placed in the center of the huge square at the top. Around the banquet, each of the disciples of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower raised their heads and held their chests high. Standing with the sword, the power of the sect is evident.
In front of the square was the huge attic of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Building. The windows on the highest floor were all open and banners hung down.
Between the attic and the square is most likely the venue for the succession ceremony.
Looking at the throne that symbolized the head, a trace of desire flashed in the eyes of the ancient head. She was still an agent, and her elders were not convinced by her. She also wanted to sit in that position with dignity.
However, even with the support of the Supreme Elder, it is still difficult to convince the public.
In the ten-seat banquet, each position has a fixed name. Naturally, this behavior is also very particular. The further forward, the more distinguished the guest is to Qingfeng Xiaoyulou.
"Three of you, your place is here."
When he walked to the third table, the disciple smiled and invited the two golden elixir masters of Flowing Rock Castle to sit down. The two elders had no complaints about this. Being ranked third among the ten tables was enough to show their position.
However, they were also vaguely curious, since they were placed at the third table, who were the people sitting at the first table.
They were suddenly shocked when they saw the only man sitting at the first table, Tian Xiao, the president of the auction house of the main hospital. This person is a big shot. He is in charge of the only auction house in the entire Sangzi County. The people who usually come and go are the heads of the Eight Great Courtyards and the Jindan Yuanying monks. And because the auction house is a special department within the Xuntian Prison, even the director of the General Courtyard has this person. It's not easy to control him.
"Deputy Minister Ke, your position is also here."
At this moment, they heard two disciples calling Ke Xinyu to sit down, and they suddenly came back to their senses. Ke Xinyu was actually sitting at the same table as the two of them? No matter how you say it, Ke Xinyu is the deputy minister of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Western Academy, and he still holds real power in his hands. He has the full support of the two major factions...
The two suddenly exchanged glances and noticed the change in Qingfeng Xiaoyulou's attitude.
Ke Xinyu's mouth twitched. Sure enough, he thought it was a grand banquet. He didn't expect it to come so suddenly and violently.
Table 3...
This is a table with a group of elders. When has I ever attended a banquet and not sat at the head table?
He really wanted to leave, but reason told him that he couldn't do this. If he really broke up with Qingfeng Xiaoyulou, then his bargaining chip with Jiang Yun would be reduced by half.
You must stay, endure the humiliation and find out the reason, and see if you can make up for the relationship with Master Zang.
Until this time, he suddenly realized that it was because he had been too close to Huan Qing and had neglected the head Zang, so the head Zang was giving him power?
At first, I remember that the Zang leader faction and the Huan Qing faction were not easy to deal with. It must be this reason that made me hate Gu Xin.
"good."
In this case, I will try my best to negotiate an alliance with Zang Huang today. Jiang Yun, you kid is so arrogant!
He watched with some jealousy as the two disciples led Jiang Yun and Master Gu to the second table. He secretly comforted himself, "It's a good thing I didn't take them to the first table, so it doesn't look too bad. Today's The first table is at the level of the Main Academy and Nascent Soul cultivators, there is no way he can be at the first table."
At this moment, he discovered that Sect Master Gu had actually taken a seat in the second seat, and Jiang Yun... was led forward by his disciple again!
What! impossible!
Ke Xinyu's face was so badly beaten that it hurt.
Even the headmaster Gu was placed at the second table, why would Jiang Yun be taken to the first table? He is an empty minister with no real power!
As the second guest went to the first table, many people were curious about Jiang Yun's identity. Looking at today's situation, those who can sit at the first table must not be rich and noble, but must at least be Nascent Soul monks to be qualified to sit at the first table.
"Who is this?"
"It seems to be Jiang Yun, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the west of the city. I have met him at the venue before."
"Is it the minister who was ignored? He can actually sit at the first table?"
"I heard that the guests in the first building today were all arranged by Master Zang himself. I thought they were all elite bigwigs, but I didn't expect that there are still such people who make up the numbers."
"Speak less. Even if you are ignored, you are still a minister."
After Jiang Yun sat down, there were two people sitting at the first table, but Jiang Yun's position was relatively far behind the table, while the president of the auction house was very far forward.
The president looked at Jiang Yun with interest, smiled and greeted him first, "Mr. Jiang, right?"
"President Tian Xiao." Jiang Yun saluted the president politely.
"I didn't expect that Minister Jiang and Qingfeng Xiaoyulou have such a good relationship. It seems that the previous rumors cannot be fully believed." Tian Xiao laughed and joked casually.
"Rumors stop only for the wise. I believe President Tian will not be deceived by rumors." Jiang Yun replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Tian Xiao shrugged noncommittally.
At this moment, an old man with white eyebrows and white beard followed the disciple to the first table and slowly sat down. His eyes swept across Jiang Yun and then fell on the face of President Tian Xiao.
"I've met President Tian."
"Headmaster Xia Yongqingxia is here, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
The two immediately exchanged greetings, obviously they knew each other, but the name gave Jiang Yun an idea. Among the eight leaders in Sangzi County, excluding the current Zang Huang, there are two Nascent Soul stage leaders, one of whom is Chengbei Zhengqi. Gu Bin, the head of the Yiyang Sect, and Xia Yongqing, the head of the Feiyun Sect in front of him.
