After hearing what his subordinate said, General Xue also fell into a brief thought. His big calloused hands stroked the few green stubbles. After a long time, he gave the answer:
"Where is he now?"
"On a rooftop behind the crowd."
"oh……"
General Xue nodded and then continued:
"Go and talk to him. Although the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm is very strong, it is definitely not strong enough to defeat the heroes, so it would be great if he could be used by us.
Remember to be polite and don't point your nose at others just because we are the official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, we are strong men in the Immortal Realm, and they are also a key combat force for us.
The Zhou family's most valuable treasure may not be destined for him, but if he is willing to form an alliance with us, I, the Great Zhou, will never treat him badly afterwards. Treasures and cultivation resources can be satisfied as long as they are within the allowed range!"
"Yes, General Xue, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."
After saying that, the subordinate turned and left.
He was not surprised at all by General Xue's promise. Long before he came, His Majesty gave General Xue certain targets. He tried to win over as many people as possible, including money, treasures, resources, and even wanted to seek personal status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
All official positions are within the scope of negotiation. As long as the other party's appetite does not exceed the budget and the strength is recognized, then everything can be negotiated.
A strong man in the Immortal Realm, and he is still so young, is definitely worthy of their attention. Once he is brought to their side, he will definitely be a very powerful fighting force.
After all, the power of the Xian family is much greater than theirs, and the people who come to the Zhou family are all top experts. If they, the forces in the secular world, don't make more preparations, there is no possibility of winning.
Just as he was thinking this, the man also jumped up and came to the roof where Jiang Qinian was. Before Jiang Qinian could say anything, the man said first:
"Li Guan, the messenger under General Xue of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has met your Excellency!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian opened his eyes, and then asked in a calm tone:
"Is something wrong?"
Obviously Jiang Qinian did nothing, but Li Guan still felt a great pressure, as if he was not facing a handsome young man, but an ancient ferocious beast.
General Xue was assigned by the empress of the Zhou Dynasty to be in charge of the Zhou family's affairs, so there is no doubt about his strength. As General Xue's herald, Li Guan, although his cultivation level is not at the level of a god, is not much different.
And if you can work next to a person of General Xue's level, your brains, skills and knowledge will not be much worse.
Therefore, the first moment they met, Li Guan knew that Jiang Qinian was an extremely powerful existence even in the immortal realm.
With strong strength as the foundation, Li Guan's attitude will naturally be as respectful as possible.
"Sir, may I ask, what kind of power are you from?"
"No school, no sect."
After saying that, Li Guan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he has no family or sect, it will be much easier to win over him. Although he does not know when such a strong person appeared among the casual cultivators, now is obviously not the time to explore this, let alone asking too much.
Will Jiang Qinian tell him that it would be a good thing if he didn't beat him up?
Li Guan is not a fool, he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
"It's like this, sir, now that the important treasure has been born and all the major forces have gathered together, we, the Zhou Dynasty, are bound to get the Zhou family's important treasure. However, we are surrounded by wolves. The people of the Xian family are powerful and numerous. We really have the upper hand.
Not much advantage.
Therefore, General Xue has specially ordered me to come here to discuss with you, sir. Can you kindly ask you to help me to seize this important treasure?
I will never treat you badly afterwards, I will definitely thank you deeply!!"
Li Guan's words were watertight. Not only could he find no fault with them, they even gave Jiang Qinian enough face that Jiang Qinian's thoughts were quietly changing.
He didn't talk nonsense with Li Guan, because now was not the time to talk nonsense. The Zhou family's treasure might appear at any time, so he had to make a decision quickly.
To be honest, Jiang Qinian had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone at the beginning. With Lin Yunmiao teaming up with him, and the several powerful ghosts in the divine realm he could summon, he himself was not inferior to any force.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The unreliable Lin Yunmiao has not come yet. I don't know if he has come to this world but has not come to the door yet, or if he is simply stuck halfway and has not come.
But no matter what, Jiang Qinian is now riding a tiger.
Temporarily joining the Great Zhou seems to be a good choice. Even if they belong to different worlds, they are all oriental after all, and the center of the Great Zhou is also in the belly of the Yanhuang Land. Even if they have different cultural backgrounds, the same soil and water can support one person.
There won't be much difference, and we can have common topics when we get together.
And the most important thing is that although he is strong, he is definitely not strong enough to overturn all the major forces on his own.
People who came to Zhou's house were all in groups, and it was almost impossible to see anyone like him alone. Therefore, if Chongbao was born, he would be easily spotted and put in danger.
Many times, being independent is not a good thing, and Jiang Qinian is not the kind of unconventional and non-mainstream person, so if he had a choice, he naturally wouldn't want to look so unique.
So after thinking for a while, he gave his answer:
"I can agree to your invitation, but the conditions for forming an alliance must change."
Hearing this, Li Guan asked doubtfully:
"Please let me know clearly, sir."
"If you want to thank me deeply, there is no need. I don't want to ask for anything from you, the Zhou Dynasty. I am also here for the treasure this time, so I can form an alliance with you to deal with others together, but as for who will end up with the treasure?"
It's all up to you.
The only thing I can promise you is that I will never stab you in the back, but it's up to you whether you believe it or not.
If you believe it, we will temporarily form an alliance and each will get what we need. If you don’t believe it, then I can only express regret for this."
After saying this, Li Guan did not reply immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and then said hesitantly:
"Sir, I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Can you wait a moment while I ask for instructions and then give you an answer?"
"Go and come back quickly."
……………………
"You said he is determined to get the treasure?"
General Xue frowned, while Li Guan nodded.
"General Qi, that person seems to know what the Zhou family's treasure is, so his attitude is so positive.
His interests seem to conflict with ours, so do we still want to form an alliance with that person?"
General Xue did not reply immediately, but was weighing the pros and cons.
"Agree to his request!
We are weak, and a strong man in the Immortal Realm will not go back on his word. Since he said he won't stab you in the back, he probably won't do it. Let's recruit him.
But remember to arrange for a few people to keep an eye on him. Anyone who can cultivate to this level is nothing. Since he dares to say that everyone depends on their ability, it means that he must have some trump cards.
You have to guard against this kind of moment!"
"yes!"
Li Guan took the order and left. After a while, Jiang Qinian followed him and walked towards General Xue.
Seeing the other party's appearance, General Xue couldn't help but stare at him, but after all, he was a battle-hardened general. He immediately recovered from the shock and turned to Jiang Qinian and said:
“May I ask this Taoist priest’s name?”
"No expense, no name, no surname, only one name is a nightmare."
nightmare?
General Xue looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. Since the other party didn't want to tell, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it, as it would only be annoying.
He had seen many monks who were unwilling to reveal their real names to others, so he was not surprised.
General Xue only thought that Jiang Qinian was this kind of person, but he didn't know that the reason why Jiang Qinian didn't even say his last name was not to highlight the mystery, but simply because he didn't want to be tainted with too much cause and effect.
Previously, Su Hongye and others called themselves Jiang Wang, but it was because their cultivation levels were not high and their exposure levels were not high, so there would not be too much involvement.33
But now the people gathered here in the Zhou family are all the most powerful forces in the world. Once he reveals his true name and causes something to happen, the consequences of the contamination will be too great.
However, General Xue did not ask further questions, so he naturally would not explain too much.
"In this case, then... Taoist Nightmare, I am Xue Dangkou, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I specially invited Taoist priest to come here today to seek for the Zhou family's treasure. I hope that Taoist Master Nightmare can help me when the time comes.
.”
"General Xue doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Xi.
As for the Zhou family's treasure, I will do my best, but the ownership of the treasure depends on everyone's ability. I just told this herald that I will never do such a thing as stabbing in the back. Of course, I also
I hope that the same will be true for General Xue and others."
"It should be so. Don't worry, I, Da Zhou, will never do anything treacherous."
Jiang Qinian's attitude towards Xue Dangkou was also very polite. After all, he was a top emperor, and his aura was so majestic that even the slightest contact with his skin would sting.
Temporarily forming an alliance with such a powerful force is not a bad thing, at least the eyes staring at him disappeared at first.
Moreover, the people of Dazhou seemed dissatisfied with the rule of the Xian family and the gods. Although there was a conflict of interest, Jiang Qinian could clearly feel that the other party and Cheng Zaiyou were the same kind of people, very decent, and such people could indeed be trusted.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian seemed to have remembered something, so he raised his head and looked at Xue Dangkou, and then asked:
"General Xue, can I ask you something?"
"Just say it, as long as it doesn't involve Da Zhou's secrets."
"Your Majesty... including the entire Zhou Dynasty, are you dissatisfied with the people in heaven?"
Xue Dangkou is a smart man. As soon as Jiang Qinian mentioned people in heaven, he knew exactly what he was referring to.
"No, it can only be said that some of the Zhou Dynasty ministers headed by His Majesty have such thoughts. As for the people of the world... they just want to live a better life."
