Chapter 2 Negotiation
Not long after, Han Zilin came in. Seeing Lu Shaoyang sitting on the seat of the head, his face showed surprise, but he quickly regained his calm and said, "I haven't seen Elder Lu for a long time. I don't know where the head of Ouyang is?"
"The head of Ouyang is very poisonous and is recuperating. I will act as the head. Don't disturb him. If you have anything to say to me!" Lu Shaoyang said coldly with no expression on his face.
Lu Shaoyang has always been polite and hospitable, so he is loved by righteous people, but he is surprisingly indifferent to several of Ouyang Hong's sworn brothers. Han Zilin became a brother with Ouyang Hong more than ten years ago, ranking third.
Han Zilin's eyes were more worried, but he immediately said, "Fuji, the king of Edo, led 10,000 practitioners from Dongying to invade our Central Plains and has captured 18 cities in seven days!"
"What?!" The shock on Lu Shaoyang's face immediately replaced indifference and said, "10,000 practitioners?! It's up to the number of a Central Plains faction!"
Han Zilin nodded and said, "Indeed, an empty practitioner can withstand thousands of troops and horses. The gap between mortals and practitioners is absolutely a world of difference. The city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond. If our court is destroyed, then Dongying's next goal is you Xiuzhen sects, so I came this time to sincerely Please ask Ziying to lead Xiuzhenmen to send a battle.
Lu Shaoyang's face sank and whispered, "Well, I have my own measure. The name of Prince Qing was Han Mu when he was across the world. You may have to reveal your identity later!"
Han Zilin Gui was a prince. When he galloped in the world, he did not dare to use his real name, so he removed the word in the middle of his name, retained his surname, and took a wooden character. And his real identity is still known by some people who are good friends with his brothers.
Han Zilin said, "Yes, that's the name, but I really don't dare to use the word vertical and horizontal!"
Lu Shaoyang said, "This matter is of great importance. You need to find the elders to discuss it. Just wait here."
After saying that, he said to another disciple, "Go and call all the elders to the council chamber.
In a short time, more than a dozen elders of other sects and all the elders of the Ziying faction came to the council chamber. Lu Shaoyang told everyone the news of Dongying's invasion. After hearing this, there was an uproar!
Suddenly, the elder Daoxu of Shushan came out and asked, "Excuse me, Elder Lu, this is the news of the court of the Central Plains. How can you know?"
Lu Shaoyang said, "To be honest, it was Han Zilin, the king of Qing, who just gave this news!"
Han Zilin, who sat aside, kept silent, so he did not attract everyone's attention. However, many people recognized Han Zilin in Lu Shaoyang's introduction, and several voices shouted, "Isn't this Han Mu, Han Shaoxia?" Yes! Why did Han Mu and Han Shaoxia become a prince?
Han Zilin stood up, bowed to this kind of person, and said apologetically, "Han Mu, who is a man who is walking in the world. The royal family is active in the world. After all, there is some inconvenience. Please understand. This time, I come here is to help you to save the country."
As soon as Han Zilin finished speaking, a young man in blue came out, knelt on the ground with a plop, worshipped three times and said, "Mr. Han En has saved my life. This matter is the first response from the South China Sea Sky Whale Gate!
It is the young leader of Tianjingmen, Feng Qiong!
As soon as Feng Qiong's voice fell, many small sects responded one after another. Although Feng Qiong is not an elder-level figure, her status as the young leader is already comparable to that of an elder. In addition, although Tianjingmen is not as big as Jianfeng Ziying, its appeal in the South China Sea is also great, so Feng Qiong's call has aroused a response.
Han Zilin shook his head with a faint smile and said, "Mr. Feng is willing to contribute to the country. Han is very grateful, but how can we start with this life-saving kindness?"
Han Zilin walked around the world and took the right path, so he did a lot of chivalrous and righteous things. Naturally, there were many people he saved, but he couldn't remember this Feng Qiong.
With tears in her eyes, Feng Qiong suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "The benefactor fought with two dragons for three days and saved a teenager. That teenager is me!"
Han Zilin suddenly remembered that he did fight with two dragons on the bank of the South China Sea, but the purpose was by no means to save people, so he did not write down the names of the people he rescued, but the unintentional actions in those years played an unexpected role today, which was really a trick on people.
"So... Mr. Han, if we participate in the war this time, do we have to obey the order of the court?"
The speaker was the Elder Sooyun of the Ziying School. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes gathered on Han Zilin. Obviously, this was their biggest concern.
Han Zilin shook his head calmly and said, "This is not necessary. The practitioners can choose their own leaders.
Elder Sooyun smiled with satisfaction and said to Lu Shaoyang, "Please make a settlement!"
Lu Shaoyang said firmly, "I have no objection, but I would like to ask the leader to agree whether to participate in the war in the end."
A boulder in Han Zilin's heart fell to the ground, and Lu Shaoyang agreed, which means that this matter was half successful.
"I don't know what the Jianfeng faction is?" Han Zilin asked with a smile.
The Jianfeng faction did not send elders this time, so Chen Siya attended the conference. She smiled lightly and said, "It is incumbent on us to contribute to the country, but we still need to ask the head to decide whether to participate in the war or not!"
Han Zilin was overjoyed. As long as Ziying sent a battle, the Jianfeng Shushan faction would not refuse. Chen Siya's four words "incumbent" have shown the attitude of the Jianfeng faction, but one of her disciples has no right to decide on this matter and needs to find the leader to settle it.
"Shushan will not be involved in this matter!" An extremely discordant voice came, and the elder Daoxu of Shushan suddenly said, "The demon lake in Shushan Town has been surging recently. Shushan disciples are busy suppressing demons and have no intention to ask about this!"
Zhenyao Lake is the place where Shushan suppresses demons who have been subdued, among which there are countless demons and monsters. However, people with clear eyes can know at a glance that Shushan has been detached for hundreds of years, and now it must be very reluctant to let them participate in the joint action of the right path.
Everyone was silent. Han Zilin tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Since Shushan has no intention of participating in the war, we will not force it!"
Elder Daoxu nodded and was about to take up the tea on the table. Suddenly, a pressure hit him. Elder Daoxu sat stiffly and sweated coldly on his forehead. He was lucky enough to resist, but the stronger the resistance, the greater the pressure.
"Ah..." Elder Daoxu whispered and crushed the seat under the pressure. Lu Shaoyang smiled faintly. At this time, he smiled so kindly and asked, "Does the elder still disagree?"
The pressure suddenly increased, and the Taoist elder almost spit out blood. He said with great painstry, "I... agree... and... the leader..."
The pressure suddenly disappeared, and the virtual elder sat on the ground as if he were weak. His face is as pale as paper.
For a short time, all the sects present agreed to participate in the battle with Dongying. At the same time, everyone also resigned to Lu Shaoyang, saying that they would go back to discuss the matter with the leader. Lu Shaoyang would no longer stay and let them leave.
Only Lu Shaoyang and Han Zilin were left in the council chamber. Han Zilin had a complex expression on his face and stopped talking, but in the end he said, "Why do you want to help me?"
Lu Shaoyang's face was cold, with casualness and disdain, and said, "I understand the truth of cold lips and teeth!"
Han Zilin's face changed and said, "How is the elder of Shushan..."
Lu Shaoyang smiled and did not answer, pointing to the back of the screen. Han Zilin exclaimed and said, "Fourth brother?"
Zhang Ziguang, Chen Siya and Hu Jing walked side by side in the air. Along the way, there were the pleasant laughter of the two female disciples. Zhao Xuewei followed, with a face like ice, which was incompatible with the three personalities.
Suddenly, Zhao Xuewei screamed, as if he saw something terrible and said, "Get out of this area, come on!"
The three people in front of him were shocked and didn't know why, but when they heard Zhao Xuewei's cry, they changed their flight route and flew for a while. Hu Jing looked surprised and asked, "Brother Zhao, where is the place ahead?"
Zhao Xuewei was short of breath, as if he had seen something terrible, and said, "Shenmu Forest, the tomb of the practitioner!"
Chen, Hu Ernu changed color when she heard the words and said, "Is it really there?"
Zhao Xuewei said, "Yes! I have been here with my master, but I didn't dare to enter this area!"
Zhang Ziguang was still young, and naturally there were not as many of these three uncles when he knew it. He looked blank and asked, "What is Shenmu Forest?"
Chen Si's words were low, with a trace of fear, and said, "The tomb of the practitioner, the practitioner who enters the Shenmu Forest, no matter what level, will live!" Even passing over this forest is not spared. The most horrible thing is that there were three heavenly practitioners who entered this forest, but never came out again!"
Zhang Ziguang fought a cold war. At the level, the level of the head of the three sects, and even Ouyang Hong, who had just been elected as the head, had not reached this level. Second only to the existence of Huo Xiangtian, he could not walk out of this forest. He looked back at the area and saw the space and ordinary emptiness. It's easy to get lost. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel afraid for a while!
It was late, and the group settled in a small town. Zhang Ziguang helped the two female disciples pack their bags. Suddenly, Zhao Xuewei patted him on the shoulder from behind, stuffed a wax ball into Zhang Ziguang's hand, then smiled and walked back to his room.
Zhang Ziguang looked at his back without any ups and downs. Seeing that the two uncles were not aware of it, he continued to help clean up.
Back in his room, Zhang Ziguang opened the wax ball. The wax ball paid attention to a piece of paper, and a few lines were written on the paper: Tonight, let's talk about the forest outside the town!
Zhang Ziguang fell asleep with a strange expression on his face.
At night, the dark clouds blocked the starlight and moonlight, and the sky was dark. Zhang Ziguang walked on the road to the forest outside the town. The night wind roared like a ghost's cry, which was creepy. At this time, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Ziguang and said, "Zhang's nephew came so early!"
I couldn't see Zhang Ziguang's expression clearly in the dark, and I only heard him say coldly, "What's the matter?"
That figure was Zhao Xuewei. He laughed and said, "Zhang's nephew is really a cheerful person. Let me make it clear. I invited Zhang's nephew this time to talk to Zhang's nephew about the top ten ancient artifacts?"
Zhang Ziguang's face darkened and his voice was a little hoarse. He said, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to report all the sins committed by Zhang's nephew to the leader, hahaha!" Zhao Xuewei laughed loudly, but Zhang Ziguang knelt on the ground with a fluttering voice and begged, "Please... Brother Zhao, please don't do this..." While talking, he had already cried out.
Zhao Xuewei said, "Well, as long as Zhang's nephew is willing to give me the Yueyun Sword and teach me how to use it, I will definitely not reveal half of your secret to the leader!"
Zhang Ziguang knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and hesitated for a long time. Zhao Xuewei was a little impatient, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes and said, "Ok, still not?"
Zhang Ziguang raised his head, then lowered his head, and then raised it again. Finally, he gave in, bit his lips and said fiercely, "Okay!"
Zhao Xuewei laughed loudly, shaking the leaves nearby. He said proudly, "Then give me the sword when you go back to the faction, hahaha!"
After saying that, he left with laughter. Looking at his departed back, Zhang Ziguang's eyes narrowed slightly, and two cold lights burst out of it.
