Sihua's good mood only lasted for two days, and then she appeared in front of Jiang Sibai looking worried.
"What happened again?"
Jiang Sibai asked.
They were now familiar with it, so they asked Sihua while instructing Sihua to prepare for planting the second crop of soybeans.
Sihua said worriedly: "The disciple sent to the Zijinxian Sect yesterday came back, and she brought some, some unacceptable demands."
Jiang Sibai was slightly surprised after hearing this, and asked: "What is it specifically?"
Sihua said: "Actually, it has to do with things in the mortal world. The Zijin Immortal Sect is enshrined as the state religion by the Chu State, and the Chu State itself covets the land of the Shu State. It's just that it can't do it casually without any reason."
"And their request is that Shu State marry its princess to Chu State, and that the whole country of Shu State be attached to it."
"This is impossible. Not to mention that the master will not agree, none of us disciples will agree."
"The nobles of Chu State are greedy, and the people of Shu State will probably be worse off than dead."
Jiang Sibai understands the rules among these nobles better than Sihua. If the daughter of the King of Shu marries into the Chu Kingdom, it means that the Chu King's royal family will be qualified to intervene when something happens to the Shu Kingdom in the future.
This is a common tactic used by nobles to annex each other.
In these days, nobles still have to respect each other. Even if there is a conflict between them, the winner can be determined at the last minute.
If a war to destroy the country really breaks out, there must be a deep hatred or a close relationship between the two royal families and they are relatives...
Good guy, to a certain extent these days, relatives and enemies can be equated.
It's just that the Purple Gold Immortal Sect, a righteous sect, actually behaves like this, which really makes Jiang Sibai a little confused how to evaluate it.
But think about it, this is normal. Even if you are a practitioner, you must always put your own interests first.
Even his own Luo Yun and Jiang Sibai vaguely felt that there might be some deeper layout here.
This kind of layout is not as low-level as the Purple Gold Immortal Sect, but it will definitely have some demands.
No matter what the request was, Jiang Sibai felt that he could add fuel to the fire.
He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. After all, I, Luo Yun, am always on your side."
That's all. Increase Luo Yun's importance in Haomiao Water Pavilion. This is something that is beneficial to both parties.
For Luo Yun, he needs the favor of Haomiao Water Pavilion, and Haomiao Water Pavilion needs Luo Yun's strong support so that they can stand upright and speak in front of the Purple Gold Immortal Sect.
After all, Sihua was the third-generation chief disciple of Shuige. After Jiang Sibai clicked on her, she immediately came to her senses.
She suddenly had many thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't clarify them.
I can only say goodbye and go find my master.
Jiang Sibai thought about it for a moment, wondering if the meaning of what he was doing could be understood.
But he thought, since Aunt Yan was born as a daughter of King Shu, she must be able to understand this kind of 'black talk' among the nobles, right?
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Aunt Yan appeared in front of Jiang Sibai.
Unlike the last time when Aunt Yan was graceful and noble but seemed hesitant, this time she changed into a very decent Taoist robe and was no longer dressed like a common lady.
She said to Jiang Sibai: "Sibai, please send a message to Luo Yun."
"Let's just say that I, Haomiao Water Pavilion, am willing to accept Luo Yun as the leader of the alliance from now on. From now on, I will only obey the leader of the alliance."
Jiang Sibai was stunned for a moment. He was about to say something but suddenly realized that he had no position to speak at this time.
So he nodded and said, "This disciple will send a message for my uncle."
As soon as he finished speaking, he returned to the house and took out the Talisman Transformation Basin and started operating it, regardless of whether he would be watched by his spiritual thoughts.
I don’t know what the response from my family will be when I pass on a sentence?
The wait was a bit long this time.
Even Aunt Yan is waiting outside.
Then Yin Suyu came after hearing the news.
She wanted to rush into the house and ask Jiang Sibai directly for information.
But this time Aunt Yan stopped her in time.
She had no choice but to wait outside the door, but she looked at Aunt Yan and said with great relief: "I didn't expect that Senior Sister has finally enlightened, knowing that it is difficult for weak women like me to survive in this world without a strong backer."
"That's fine, it's better to join Luo Yun than to join the Purple Gold Immortal Sect. At least Luo Yun's side is full of respectable people."
This Suyu Immortal Fairy spoke so straightforwardly that Aunt Yan became very angry after hearing this.
Aunt Yan said: "You can't take everything so utilitarian."
Immortal Su Yu said nonchalantly: "If it's not beneficial, why should they help us?"
"I advise senior sister to think carefully about whether there are other women in this room in our water pavilion who can be used as bargaining chips."
Aunt Yan felt extremely embarrassed, especially in front of an outsider like Jiang Sibai.
She didn't believe Jiang Sibai couldn't hear Yin Suyu's words.
But at this moment, Jiang Sibai happened to push open the door and walk out.
"The response from me, Luo Yun, has come back, and it came from Headmaster Yuan Yi himself!"
Aunt Yan and Yin Suyu immediately stopped arguing and looked over to wait for Jiang Sibai's next words.
Jiang Sibai looked at them and nodded slowly and said: "The headmaster said: Luo Yun and Shuige have been friends for generations. How can we not save our friends when they are in trouble?"
"However, Luo Yun is also in crisis himself, so we can only send a group of resources to help in advance."
"Master Yan Pavilion, please rest assured, Luo Yun will live up to Shui Pavilion."
After he finished speaking, he once again reiterated Luo Yun's intention to live up to Shuige.
And Aunt Yan was relieved after hearing this.
Yin Suyu frowned slightly: "That didn't say what we have to pay, and when will the batch of supplies arrive?"
Aunt Yan scolded her sternly: "Don't be rude!"
"Fellow Taoist Gao Yi of Luo Yun Fairyland, since he said he would live up to the Water Pavilion, there is no need to worry about these things."
Seeing Aunt Yan's stern expression, Yin Suyu could only shut up.
Jiang Sibai shook his head secretly, not knowing how to evaluate the older generation of Haomiao Water Pavilion.
Although Aunt Yan's cultivation is very high, she always has a dull feeling that she doesn't want to worry too much.
Yin Suyu, on the other hand, worries too much and is very concerned about immediate interests and only wants to believe in what she gets.
Just like two extremes, neither of them is suitable to be the leader of a sect.
Just when Jiang Sibai was a little bored and didn't know how to see off the guests.
Ye Yunling hurriedly jumped down from the water pavilion, and then reported: "Master, Master, there is a visitor from Luo Yun knocking on the door outside the peach forest!"
Aunt Yan and Yin Suyu both looked at each other, this was so sudden.
Yin Suyu looked at Jiang Sibai and asked, "You...Sibai's grandnephew, do you know who that is?"
Although he knew that Yin Suyu was being polite to him, the sound of 'grandnephew' really made him want to roll his eyes.
If possible, he wouldn't want to be a grandchild.
He said: "My disciples don't know either. Can I go together and have a look?"
Aunt Yan nodded and said, "Yun Ling, take Sibai with you."
"only!"
Ye Yunling responded, and then took Jiang Sibai out of the water pavilion to greet him.
Jiang Sibai walked through the peach forest again. When he came in last time, the flowers were not in bloom. But now, when he came back, it was already full of bright red peaches.
He suddenly felt a little greedy.
However, these greedy things were immediately forgotten after he saw the person waiting outside the peach forest.
He saw a little chubby old man with a gentle complexion but a rustic look like a farmer.
"Uncle Gu Sang?"
It was actually the owner of Shennong Valley, Taoist Gu Sang, who came in person!
