Section 26 Negotiations (2)
On October 18, Doni set out to return to Barona City with the terms of the agreement that both sides were very satisfied with and more than 40,000 prisoners. Before leaving, Watt specifically found Doni and said that he wanted to stay with my men in Qingyang for a while and went back at the right time. After careful inquiry from many parties, Doni confirmed that Watt did not stay voluntarily for other reasons, he expressed his support for Watt's choice and hoped that he could study hard here and lead his people to revitalize the Roman nation after returning.
On the 18th, the secret Huoqi letter from Gu Ji, who was far away in the imperial capital, was also delivered to me in an expedited manner. At this time, even the official express post of the empire had not arrived yet. After learning that I was appointed as the Military and Political Military Control Commission of Northwest County, I could no longer suppress my ecstasy. After six years of hard work, I finally got what I wanted. After walking around the garden guarding the city for several times, I gradually calmed down from my extreme excitement. Since I appointed myself as the Military and Political Control Commission of Northwest, I had to quickly quell the rebellion of Guide and Bonan Prefectures, so that I could be a true military and political governor. This time, Situ Biao stood up and fought for this position for himself without fear of risks. He must have his own plans. If he came to Qingyang to announce the appointment and order of His Majesty the Emperor, he would have to touch his bottom carefully.
I stood quietly in the depths of the path in the garden, analyzing all the problems I didn't expect because of overexcitation. Situ Biao finally revealed his true face in this court discussion, which will definitely attract the attention of many forces, and at the same time it inevitably aroused the hostility of several other half-brothers who were expected to compete for the throne. He dared to stand up and must have the support of certain forces behind him. Of course, using this method to show kindness to me, obviously trying to pull me into his front. However, this gift is indeed quite heavy. Although I don't know what his ultimate goal is, at least it has won my favor for now, the premise is that it cannot affect my interests. No personal feelings can be mixed in political struggles, and everything must be subject to the needs of interests.
Since we have decided to pacify Guide Bonan's two prefectures, we have to prepare early, especially the deployment of the troops needs to be carried out immediately, otherwise the fighter planes will change three times a day, and it will be troublesome if they are delayed. Thinking of this, I calmed down and then went back to the study.
Just when I arranged someone to inform Ling Tian to return to Qingyang and sat in the Grand Master's chair to consider the upcoming battle of rebellion, the guards' report interrupted my meditation.
"Report to the Lord, three people outside the mansion are asking for a visit."
"Oh? Who?" I was a little surprised.
"There are three women who claim to be from the Snow Mountain Sect. They all carry weapons with them." The guards obviously couldn't figure out the origin of the seeker.
Snow Mountain Sect? I recalled for a long time and then I had some impression in my mind. It seems that this Snow Mountain Sect was originally a large sect in the northwest region, but after the Luobei invasion more than ten years ago, its power gradually shrank. It is said that it had assassinated the main general of the Luobei invading army several times. However, because the Luobei people were quite strict in defense, they did not succeed. A few years ago, the Luobei people sent troops to wipe out the Snow Mountain Base at the border between Qingyang and Guide, and burned down the headquarters of the Snow Mountain Sect. In recent years, there were almost no sounds from the Snow Mountain Sect in the northwest. The disciples of this sect are mainly women, and their martial arts are said to be feminine and changeable, and their light skills are quite clever. These are all mentioned to me when Moron was collecting the situation of the Jianghu forces in the northwest region.
In short, these people should still be my allies. Although I have reconciled with Luo Beiren, I still admire them for their bravery to resist violence and resist foreign invasions. However, it is indeed an unwise move to fight against a country's army with a sect. If a sect has such a simple-minded leader, it may be a disaster, not a blessing.
These people suddenly came to me today to ask to see me. What is the purpose? I was a little hesitant. Although I was not disgusted with the sects of the Jianghu, I did not want the civil forces in the Jianghu area to grow in my territory. Even Yingying's father had been carefully considered before reluctantly agreeing to the Liuhe Sect to develop in Qingyang, and it was also necessary to wait until I unified the northwest. The so-called Snow Mountain Sect came here at this moment and must be related to their sects. However, at this time, the northwest was expelled due to the foreign enemy Luo Beiren's forces, and the economy had developed rapidly and the population increased greatly. At present, it is indeed blank in the field of civil forces. Even the Liuhe Sect has seen this. The Snow Mountain Sect, which has been active in the northwest for a long time, will not be unclear. This is a good opportunity for development.
Perhaps the Liuhe Sect also needs a rival who competes and restrains each other to be more suitable. This idea suddenly arose in my mind: the survival, development and growth of these two factions should be subject to my interests. Then let’s see it, and I made a decision in my heart.
The moment the three of them were taken into the reception room, my heart seemed to be punched hard, and I suddenly couldn't breathe. The leader was a middle-aged woman with a graceful look. Two black eyebrows on the plate showed that the woman had a strong personality, and the twinkle eyes flashed under the thick eyebrows could also show that the woman's heart was extraordinary. But this was not enough to make me moved. What shocked me was the two girls behind her. Both girls were generally tall and slender. The girl on the left was wearing a goose yellow dress, and the outer cover was light green and breeze to cover her moving figure. The girl on the right was wearing a blue dress, and the outer cover was goose yellow. The two women wore a cloak covered with clear gauze on their heads, which made people unable to see their faces clearly, but the temperament revealed was enough to make people feel moved.
Although the three of them had already been confiscated by the guards, my duty guard was still very cautious and let the three women sit opposite me, while they stood behind me with their swords.
Seeing that my eyes and the suspicious eyes of the guards were all on the two girls behind me, a little hesitated, the middle-aged woman signaled the two girls behind me to take off the cloak on their heads.
What a beautiful face! I even felt the guards behind me breathing. Both girls were only sixteen or seventeen years old. On the left was a goose face with two deep dimples. A pair of bright eyes with bright eyes shining with light purple light, and a brown hair tied into a beautiful bun. The girl on the right had obviously the shadow of a middle-aged woman, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her ripped cheeks always showed a light smile, and her long black hair was casually draped behind her shoulders. The spring flowers and autumn moon came, and I secretly commented in my heart. No wonder she had to wear a veiled cloak. Just go out like this, I am afraid that there will be a large group of suitors behind her.
After saluting me, I signaled the three of them to sit down with my hands. The three women were obviously looking at me carefully, especially the middle-aged woman's eyes with a look of confusion. After sitting down, she paused before looking at me and asked, "Is it Mr. Li Wufeng, the one who is here?"
When I heard this sentence come out, I felt happy. Before I answered, the guard behind me had already scolded: "Rareless! How dare I pretend to be a sir?"
The middle-aged woman quickly stood up, "The civilian woman knows her guilt. But the civilian woman has never seen an adult before. When she sees her today, she is so young, and she can't help but have some doubts."
I waved my hand and signaled not to blame myself, "Are you from the Snow Mountain Sect?"
"Yes, I am Jin Sumei, the twelfth-generation leader of the Snow Mountain Sect. One of them is my daughter Yun Yi, and the other is my apprentice Qin Shuangying." Although she did not introduce who was her daughter and who was her apprentice, anyone could see the identity of the two girls.
"I heard for a long time that there are many heroes in the Snow Mountain School. Today I see it, and I am well-known." I was making a noise, but I could see that these three people are quite good at martial arts and have already entered the house.
"Oh? I've heard of the reputation of this sect?" Jin Sumei's eyes lit up, but her face dimmed. "Maybe I've only heard of the reputation of the Snow Mountain sect in the past?"
"Well, I have entered Qingyang, and Jinzhou has really not heard much about the news about the noble school in recent years." I don't want to hide it.
Jin Sumei's face became even more dim, "I'm afraid I know that this sect caused the Luobei invading army to attack our base because of resisting the Luobei invading army?" When talking about this, even the two women behind her looked dark.
"I have heard of it after I came to the northwest. It turns out that the Snow Mountain Sect is still a major sect in the northwest. Since then, it has disappeared." I took off their scars without leaving any room for anything. If I don't say it hurts, they will not truly realize their current situation.
"That was when my senior sister was the leader. Since then, our sect has been destroyed. Although it cannot be said that the smoke has disappeared, it is true that he has suffered heavy damage and has stopped." Recalling the past, Jin Sumei still felt a little bitter, but she quickly cheered up, "However, this sect still has a good foundation in the northwest."
My eyes were fixed on Jin Sumei's face, "What's wrong with Master Jin coming to see me today?"
After thinking for a while, Jin Sumei's face turned a little flushed before she said something from her mouth: "I want to ask my elders to strongly support our sect to regain its foothold in the northwest."
"Oh?" I had expected this request from her, but I didn't expect her to make it so straightforwardly. I gently leaned back. "The head of Jin also knew that I was the guardian of Qingyang and Jinzhou, and I didn't have much favorable feelings for the civil forces. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for me to support the development of your sect in the region, not to mention that other sects have already made similar requests."
"Sir, are you talking about Liuhe Sect?" Jin Sumei casually brushed her hair that was a little scattered on her forehead and calmed down. "The northwest space is vast, and two or three sects should be able to live in peace."
It seems that this woman cannot be underestimated, and she has put some effort into knowing me.
"There are also some sects such as the Tianshan Sect." This gentle sentence caused a great impact on the three women present.
"Tianshan School?" Jin Sumei couldn't help but ask repeatedly.
After seeing me nodding for affirmation, Jin Sumei's calm face became a little nervous. Tianshan is located at the border between Qingyang and Gaochang Kingdom of the Western Regions. Before the Luobei people invaded, it had a very influential force in the Western Regions and the northwest of the Tanghe Empire. It can be regarded as a famous sect. This sect is somewhat similar to the Xueshan Sect. The disciples in the sect are all strong and yang is weak, and these two sects competed quite strongly at that time. After the Luobei people invaded, the forces of the Tianshan Sect gradually withdrew from the northwest and developed in the Western Regions. I heard that the princess of Loulan Kingdom, Haliqinna was a disciple of Tianshan.
"Sir, my sect has much better foundation in the northwest, and I am willing to contribute to my sect's cause." Jin Sumei was a little anxious. When she was facing the aggressive advance of her biggest opponent, she felt the pressure on her body.
In fact, no one from the Tianshan Sect has ever come to me. I just made up a random fabrication to suppress Jin Sumei. I didn't expect that this move would have such a big impact on Jin Sumei.
"How is your pati to support me?" I also opened the skylight and said loudly.
"The situation in Guide Bonan is now chaotic. I believe that the court will not take long before the imperial court will ask the adults to command troops to quell the rebellion. Our sect still has some relationships in Guide Bonan. I believe that it will provide reliable information for the adults at that time." Jin Sumei also saw my upward momentum, so she decisively bet on me.
However, her conditions were not enough to get my support. I stared at her eyes coldly without opening my mouth.
Jin Sumei sighed inwardly, "Also, I think that the status of the adults is increasing day by day. There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the adults, and their personal safety is even more dangerous. I see that although these guards around me are warriors in war, they are probably not as good as those of us who are from the Jianghu Sect when they are actually dealing with assassin killers."
I nodded secretly. All the disciples from the Liuhe Sect were assigned to the army by me. Although these guards around me were trained by me, they were more suitable to charge on the battlefield and be deceitful. If there are people from the Jianghu to assassinate me, they may not be able to deal with them.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Jin Sumei thought I didn't believe it, and said, "Although my master is very skilled in martial arts, as the saying goes, guns are easy to block, and hidden arrows are hard to defend. So when I came in just now, if I were an assassin, my safety would be very dangerous." After that, she moved her hand gently, and several paper-shaped knives flew out of her sleeves, flew in the air and returned to her sleeves, frightening the guards behind her and blocking me quickly.
I could see that she had worked hard for many years, so I nodded and signaled the guards to retreat, "Okay, this is the strength of the Snow Mountain Sect, so let's leave the two disciples behind you as personal guards for me."
Jin Sumei had long expected that I would make this request, but when I heard my tone was unquestionable, she had to sigh, "I will obey my order. But please abide by our agreement, and you cannot force my disciples to do things I don't want to do." Her words seemed quite weak.
But she underestimated me, Li Wufeng, was I, Li Wufeng, a person who took advantage of the situation to rob? I was thinking in my heart, but another voice came out again, not necessarily. "President Jin can rest assured that I, Li Wufeng, are not so despicable. Even if I want to do anything, I will be open and upright and will never take any tricks of stealing the robbers."
