Chapter 235: The peace talks were successful (Part 1)

At this time, Zheng Xuan, who was rushing over, floated down from the tree with the yellow spring banner in his hand, looked at the direction of the old lama's escape, and asked Xu Changqing: "Did Changqing let him go like this? It's not your style to do things if you return to the mountain!"

Xu Changqing smiled calmly and said, "I did say that he would let him go, but if he was seeking death, I would be unreproached. If he could walk slowly and not use the Buddha Yuan, he might be able to live a few more years. As for now?"

Just as he was speaking, a burst of flames suddenly emerged from a dense forest not far from the north, illuminating the dark forest, which made the birds and beasts in the forest scattered everywhere.

"It seems that your five elements battle is becoming more and more profound!" Seeing this scene, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but look surprised on his face and said, "It's not just that the five elements fire spirit aura, but also the wood spirit aura and water spirit aura. No wonder that guy cut off his arm was useless. As early as the moment of Zhongquan, the power of the five elements battle had already been integrated into the true essence of his meridians, and his life was destined at that moment."

Xu Changqing did not show much happiness for Zheng Xuan's praise, but instead sighed: "What's the use of the Five Elements Battle Decision? Before the Golden Pill Avenue was established, everything was a painting cake."

Seeing Xu Changqing like this, Zheng Xuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only go forward and pat him for fear of his shoulder.

Xu Changqing also felt that the atmosphere was a bit too dull, so he changed the subject and asked: "Senior Brother, what did you do when I asked you to check the things a few days ago?"

"The various sects have blocked the news very closely. The spies I received from Xuangang Tianmo cannot find any news at all. However, in recent months, Maoshan, Longhushan, Putuoshan and other authentic immortals and Buddhas have been doing great rituals. I heard that they are praying for state affairs, but that is probably for the secular people." Zheng Xuan shook his head and said in detail: "From all signs, there are indeed some problems in the inner mountain gates of each sect. Although it is not necessarily exactly the same as what happened in the Guan family, it may be not far away."

"The evil practitioners were killed or injured more than a year ago, leaving only a small part of the left and right paths. Now that something happened to the inner mountain gate of the righteous practitioners, most of the Taoist traditions are about to be lost. Does God really want my cultivation lineage to disappear from this world?" Xu Changqing's face was a little pale, his voice trembled, and he said, "If something happened to the inner mountain gate of each sect, then the outer mountain gates of these sects are hidden and avoiding disasters or entering the world to overcome disasters, it is probably difficult for them to escape unscathed. When the disaster is over, my Chinese practice world will disappear from now on."

"If God really wants to destroy our cultivators, we can't hide even if we want to. Instead of lamenting here, it's better to think more about your current situation." Zheng Xuan seemed much calmer at this moment and reminded him: "Your top priority now is to find the spiritual objects of heaven and earth as soon as possible and achieve the golden elixir path. As for other authentic immortals and Buddhas, the inheritance of evil demons and crooked paths, it is not what we should consider."

Although Zheng Xuan's words were a bit selfish, they were actually true. Xu Changqing thought for a moment and sighed: "Well! Senior brother, after the war between the north and the south is calm, I will go to the West in person to find the spiritual objects of the heaven and earth. Then my two little guys will ask you to worry more."

"Of course this is not a problem." Zheng Xuan touched his chin's beard, nodded and agreed.

The noise the night before yesterday did not disturb the representatives of all parties in Chen's house. They seemed to know what to ask and what not to ask, all of them looked calm, as if nothing had happened in the mountain city last night.

The negotiations are still under tense atmosphere. As expected, the negotiations today are as expected. Who will be the first head of state after the establishment of a new regime in the future? The Revolutionary Army naturally recommended Mr. Yixian, and the Beiyang Army also pushed Yuan Shikai to the front of the stage. The two sides argued a lot about this.

At the negotiating table, compared to the courtesy and courteousness of the Beiyang faction Xu Shuzheng and Yang Shiqi, Song Jiaoren and Chen Fan of the Revolutionary Army seemed a little almost rogue. They avoided the revolutionary army's unprecedented experience in governing. In addition, the previous concessions from the Beiyang faction made the negotiation pressure one-sidedly pressing towards Song Jiaoren and others. Even if they did not say hello in advance, the representatives of other forces here would involuntarily tend toward the Beiyang faction.

In the afternoon of the negotiations, things began to change. Cai E, who had been silent, stood up and clearly expressed his support for Yuan Shikai as the first president of the new regime, but at the same time he believed that Mr. Sun Yixian's achievements should not be forgotten. At this time, Chen Deshang also stood up and came up with an idea, that is, before establishing a new regime, he would first establish a provisional government, and Mr. Sun Yixian as the interim president. After everything was arranged, he would resign and hand over the position of president to Yuan Shikai. In this way, the disputes could be resolved, and the noble character of Sun Yixian could be demonstrated.

The Beiyang faction agreed to Chen Deshang's opinion. In their opinion, false reputation is far less important than real power. Song Jiaoren also understood the Beiyang faction's thoughts, so he was naturally unwilling to let it go and refused to agree. Even in the end, Li Yuanhong stood up and clearly expressed his support for Yuan Shikai as the first president, but he still refused to let go. Seeing that the negotiation was about to break down, a letter written by Mr. Sun Yixian was handed to Chen Jiachong from Guangzhou Kuaima and handed to Song Jiaoren. The content of the letter was unknown, but the final result was that Song Jiaoren finally let go and agreed to resolve the dispute over the first presidential candidate according to Chen Deshang's idea.

In the subsequent negotiations, the Beiyang faction took advantage of the victory and put forward many conditions that seemed extremely harsh to outsiders, such as the capital could be Nanjing, but the Congress would place it in Beijing, etc. What is deeply surprising is that the revolutionary army, which should have been rejected seriously, agreed to the conditions proposed by the Beiyang faction one by one. In this way, the new regime in Nanjing became an empty shell, and all the real power fell into the hands of Yuan Shikai in Beijing.
