Regarding the establishment of the City of Chaos, Qin Fan had previously left it to Xia Jinyu and Luo Xinghun.
So he was also surprised when he saw the black-red mist filling all directions converging into the Wuli Ghost River.
But when faced with everyone's puzzled and confused looks, he just smiled indifferently and had no intention of explaining.
However, he did have a little more patience when it came to dealing with China.
"Don't you understand?"
Hua Buqun shook his head stupidly. In his eyes, there seemed to be endless ghosts floating on the dark river in front of him, and it seemed that it was already a paradise for the dead.
Or another word would be more appropriate - hell!
"I need your help. This is also related to the proposal I just mentioned."
Qin Fan's black and white pupils seemed to turn into a chaotic whirlpool. When Hua Buqun's eyes met his, he felt his brain shudder inexplicably, and a look of confusion filled his eyes, but he soon regained his clarity.
The smile on Qin Fan's face was a little more playful, because after tearing off the other party's gentleman's facade, the part of the truth he glimpsed was very interesting.
A gentleman for one day, a gentleman for ten days, and a gentleman for a hundred days. Hua Buqun, who has always adhered to the way of a gentleman and worked hard to play this important role, has become a qualified gentleman sword.
There is greed, vanity, entanglement, and fear of death in human nature. Perhaps at a certain opportunity, especially when Hua Buqun encounters a situation where he has to magnify his stain, he will give up this important identity.
But before that, he will be more like a gentleman than 90% of the true gentlemen in the world. More importantly, he is not rigid, sticks to the bottom line and knows how to be tactful.
All in all, this person can be used.
"I want to build a city there, so I need the help of some warriors, and you are very suitable." Qin Fan pointed to the Wuli Ghost River.
Hua Buqun frowned slightly, not wanting to marvel at Qin Fan's thoughts. He just felt that not many people would be willing to do this kind of hard work.
Although they are casual cultivators, they still have some pride in their hearts, especially when facing common people, this pride will be infinitely magnified.
"As for my proposal, the loot distributed can be traded in gold and silver. But if you agree to this job, it can be changed to another settlement method."
"What?" Hua Buqun asked subconsciously.
"What do you lack most?" Qin Fan looked at Hua Buqun with a smile.
Hua Buqun looked surprised and said: "Secret books, weapons, elixirs... we are all short of anything that can help with cultivation!"
"Then your gold and silver can be exchanged for these, but only after I build this city. In the future, the 'own people' in this city can trade the things you mentioned."
Qin Fan replied calmly.
He knew very well how unfriendly this world was to casual cultivators and some small forces. If nothing else, he said that it was very troublesome for him to buy some elixirs above the yellow level.
Things like martial arts and weapons would only circulate in small circles.
As for the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, they often raise the value of these things through auctions and then sell them. What they buy in the end will not be some casual cultivators.
Qin Fan is not currently prepared to open the door to all casual cultivators, because this will undoubtedly put himself on the opposite side of all forces, but he can provide some conveniences to 'his own people'.
At this time, Hua Buqun also understood the meaning of Qin Fan's words. Logically speaking, he had no reason to refuse when faced with the solicitation of such a powerful person.
But he knew very well the thoughts of those casual cultivators who were still fighting until the last moment. They had lofty or very unrealistic ideals and ambitions.
This also means that they will never be constrained by one force, and if they are not talents cultivated by themselves, those who join halfway will usually be treated as cannon fodder, which is what they are worried about.
"I won't let you give up your freedom, and I won't even impose any restrictions on you. When my power is established, you will only be members of the outer sect.
Even if you want to quit, just say it in advance, and you can consider it as my gratitude to you for fighting till the last moment."
Qin Fan's friendly smile made Hua Buqun put down some of his worries. Perhaps as the other party said, this was just some compensation given by Master Qin without hurting their self-esteem.
Thinking of this, Hua Buqun looked at Qin Fan with a touch of respect from the bottom of his heart.
Because this kind of respect is more precious than those vulgar silver and white things.
"I will tell them everything about this. No matter what they choose, I, Hua Buqun, am willing to serve Master Qin." Hua Buqun bowed his hands and said.
Then he thought for a while and asked: "Then what obligations and responsibilities do you have as a member of the outer sect?"
Qin Fan shook his head:
"No, it's just that we will open a task bar specifically for members of the outer sect to access. These tasks are not about killing and killing, but most of them are mainly about collecting some medicinal materials or minerals, or inquiring about some news in the world.
The rewards are not settled in gold and silver, but in the form of contribution points circulated within us, but the contribution points can be exchanged for a certain amount of gold and silver."
"Can gold and silver be exchanged for contribution points?"
"No, besides, there is no monthly limit on the number of completed tasks.
But if you do not take the initiative to accept the task within half a year, it will be regarded as giving up your status as a member of the outer sect, and of course there will be no other punishment."
Qin Fan's answer really surprised Hua Buqun. It was exactly what the other party said. The conditions were simply too loose. I believe that when he told the casual cultivators later, at least 90% of them would rush to join.
"Isn't this a bit..." At this moment, Hua Buqun felt rather embarrassed.
Qin Fan said seriously: "Like the outer sect members, what I value most is their character. In other words, for a long time, there may only be you outer sect members. You know what I mean."
Hua Buqun nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"I'll leave the rest to you. Look, that large caravan is here too. Let's count the spoils first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hua Buqun looked towards where Qin Fan was looking, and there was indeed a caravan coming from the path of blood-soaked corpses, so he quickly saluted Qin Fan,
Let’s deal with relevant matters first.
Qin Fan then looked at the others. Yan Kuangshan had gone to Xuanyang Guards to verify the casualties. Mo Haolin, except for looking at him from a distance, had always asked a deputy general to handle the follow-up matters.
As for Luo Xinghun, if he receives the letter, it will take some time to come over. As for the players, even if he doesn't take the initiative to greet them, they will come over.
For a moment, Qin Fan felt that he was a little idle, so he got into the carriage and began to practice the "Great Yin and Yang Fu of the Emperor and the Earth Empress" silently, accompanied by Adana's still loud snoring.
...
Xuanshui City is also the closest big city to the place of decisive battle, but it is closer than several other big cities, so apart from causing a celestial phenomenon, it makes the residents in the city feel a little uneasy.
No one knew the details of the battle.
At this moment, in the Six Gates branch in this city.
Gongsun Mei, who was wearing a black flying fish suit, was questioning an ugly-looking but extremely strong man.
"Liu Shi, what have you been doing recently?"
Liu Shi showed an ugly smile and replied:
"In order to collect intelligence more conveniently, my subordinates transferred the trained members of the Six Doors to every city and town. It took a lot of effort just to take root stably."
Gongsun Mei frowned slightly. She was a member of the Gongsun family and the second in command of the six gates of the Xuanyang domain. However, on the one hand, her personal interests should be consistent with those of the Gongsun family, but on the other hand, she had reached an agreement with Xue Yan.
alliance.
But the problem is that the two parties have been very weird towards her recently. Gongsun Xin just let her go, and Xue Yan, who was almost inseparable from her, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
As a result, when she encountered such a decisive battle, she turned a blind eye. After thinking about it again, she felt that she would not get involved due to her strength. Before that, she still had to find out what Xue Yan's situation was.
So she found Liu Shi, because among the six doors, Liu Shi was considered the third in command, and he was also responsible for the daily internal affairs.
As a domestic slave with a second surname, Liu Shi had been doing this kind of work under Yin Wumei before. Logically speaking, Xue Yan shouldn't give him so much trust since he had a new boss.
Unless there is something extraordinary about this Liu Shi, or Xue Yan doesn't care about these six doors at all, it doesn't matter even if the other party is destroyed.
Now it seems that the possibility of the former is very high.
Then Gongsun Mei began to look at Liu Shi carefully. He had triangular eyes and raised eyebrows, and his strong muscles held up the elegant scholar's robe. He looked a bit nondescript.
As a public official, he should wear Feiyu uniform during working hours, but Xue Yan, who didn't know how to persuade the other party, always wore his unclean scholar's robe.
When Liu Shi faced the other party's scrutinizing gaze, he just forced out a flattering smile, but considering the elder brother's appearance, it was really too horrible to look at.
Gongsun Mei frowned even more and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Xue has been recently?"
Liu Shi shook his head honestly: "I don't know. The last task Master Xue gave me was to establish an intelligence network belonging to the six doors."
"Then did your intelligence network find out any valuable information?"
Liu Shi's expression was a little complicated: "Because of the decisive battle, the Xuanyang Territory has been in chaos recently, and most of the seemingly valuable information has nothing to do with the Six Gates, and is basically aimed at... Wuyou Villa.
"
Mentioning these four words, Gongsun Mei subconsciously looked at her clothes. After confirming that her Feiyu suit was not too revealing, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as she lowered her head, Liu Shi's eyes suddenly turned to the west of the city, and then there was an explosion, and the whole city seemed to tremble.
"What's going on?" Gongsun Mei looked at Liu Shi, who was also very confused.
"Lord Gongsun, shall we go and have a look?"
"You're not talking nonsense!" Gongsun Mei said angrily, and then rushed towards the explosion point. Liu Shi hesitated for a while and then followed.
But when the two arrived at the location, apart from a pile of ruins, there were no other traces.
There was a lingering smell of blood in the air, but no corpse was seen.
"Who is the owner of this house?" Gongsun Mei looked at Liu Shi, who shook his head and said: "I don't know, this city was originally controlled by several forces, but after they were destroyed, some past records also disappeared.
Can’t find it.”
"Destroyed? Who..."
Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Mei had already thought about the previous meeting in Yangyun City. A total of eight forces were destroyed. Money and resources had been divided by other forces, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to retain information.
.
"Check who lives here!"
After Gongsun Mei said these words, she also left. She always felt that such a strange thing that happened out of nowhere would be a big trouble.
Liu Shi honestly searched for clues in the ruins, and asked several members of the Six Doors who followed him to ask the surrounding neighbors.
And when he turned over a few large rocks, he unexpectedly found a silver token with several large characters engraved on it - Qiu Kaide, the seventh elder of the Forging Knife Hall.
Liu Shi sighed and stared at the token for a few seconds. He gradually exerted force on his right hand and the token began to deform until it was kneaded into an irregular silver object.
As he exhaled the true energy from his palm, the small silver nugget turned into a handful of powder and flowed out from between his fingers. Then, it was gently blown by an inexplicable breeze and dissipated into the sky.
In the woods outside Xuanshui City, the three great masters began to glare at each other.
"So our mission has failed, right?" Wang Jingyu said with a bitter look on his face.
"Not only did he fail, he was also tricked." Feng Mo was holding a corpse in his right hand. This person was Qiu Kaide, the seventh elder of the Knife Forging Hall.
Facing the two people's gazes, Zhang Guyen said helplessly:
"After all, this is Sima Kongming. As the chief arrester of the Six Gates, it is normal to notice the diversion incense on his body. He guessed that we would come to pursue him, and it is more normal to take the opportunity to ambush him.
It’s just that I don’t understand what he meant by killing Qiu Kaide?”
"Framing, placing blame, killing with a borrowed knife." Feng Mo began to carefully examine Qiu Kaide's injuries, and he killed him with the simplest palm, leaving no trace of other moves.
Zhang Guyen was a little confused: "How about we make it clear to the Knife Forging Hall?"
Wang Jingyu shook his head: "That's the Knife Forging Hall, it would be strange if I could explain it to them clearly.
By the way, do you think Qiu Kaide has been hiding in Xuanyang Territory to investigate the cause of Xiang Bohuai's death?"
"It's not important. Since Qiu Kaide is dead, Sima Kongming has 10,000 ways to prove that we did it." Feng Mo casually stuffed the body into the space ring.
"Um, it's not so easy for Zhu Dao Tang to be led by the nose..." Zhang Guyen said with a guilty look. After all, this could be regarded as his mistake.
"Perhaps there is no such thing as who is holding someone's hand, and the death of an elder is a reasonable reason to start a war." Wang Jingyu said with a gloomy expression.
Feng Mo nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back and tell the Lord what happened here."
But when he took a step forward, he saw the two of them looking towards Xuanshui City again.
Then he frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
The two of them shook their heads and said nothing, but sighed together.
