Jiang Fenglong put the list on the table and pointed to the names added at the back: "And there are a few more. I didn't expect that Hatian Sect would dare to come here."
"Why don't they dare?"
Zuo Chongming sneered: "I know you are referring to the matter of Lengyue Bodhisattva. In fact, that witch does not hate Tianzong, she deliberately framed the trouble."
"ah?"
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.
Zuo Chongming pouted: "But having said that, she also has a close relationship with Hentian Sect. If we go back further, we can still be considered a family."
At the beginning, he really only saw that the woman was a player, and the escape technique she used was related to the Seven Emotions Demon Sect.
Other than that, the rest is not clear.
It wasn't until I was browsing the forum a few days ago that I accidentally saw the clue.
In order to increase its reputation and promote its strength, the Wives Guild released a short video MV in the past two days.
From the eldest sister's first fragrant tea to the youngest's small wine, everyone appeared.
Zuo Chongming instantly recognized that Umbrella was the witch.
Once the identity was confirmed, everything suddenly became clear.
The wife's guild is to create a "mysterious witch", which will arouse Zuo Chongming's curiosity, and then gradually evolve into a script of falling in love and killing each other.
I have to say that if Zuo Chongming is really an aboriginal NPC, this plan will indeed work.
Because what attracts smart people is often an equal opponent, not a beautiful and useless vase.
It's a pity that Zuo Chongming is not a serious NPC.
Even without the help of this MV, as the number of contacts between him and Umbrella increases, this plan will eventually go bankrupt.
After all, Zuo Chongming has decades of plot experience in his head. As long as they make the slightest mistake in writing, flaws will be revealed.
"correct."
Jiang Fenglong was very knowledgeable and stopped asking further questions. He turned back to the topic and said, "Master Hou, the photo stones have also been arranged. They are at a concealed angle and cover the whole place."
"Well, you did a good job."
Zuo Chongming scanned the list and curled his lips slightly: "I forgot to mention it before. Go find Daochang Chen and tell him not to include me on the list."
List? What list?
Although Jiang Fenglong was confused, he still remembered this instruction.
After wandering to the front yard.
As soon as Zuo Chongming showed up, the guests who were seated stood up and greeted him in unison: "My lord, I have met the champion."
"No courtesy, sit down."
Zuo Chongming waved his hands with a smile, came to the front seat, sat down, and picked up the wine bottle: "I am busy with official duties, and I have kept you waiting for a long time. I will punish myself with three drinks."
Although he said it was self-punishment, everyone still raised their glasses and drank together.
After all, this guy is a champion, Xiyun Mansion is his fief, and the entire Xiyun Mansion belongs to him.
He may not give you face, but you cannot deny him face. Otherwise, all he has to do is frown and you will be in trouble.
Ouyang Yu, who was kneeling beside him to serve him, glanced at him vaguely and secretly said, "Drink less."
"You are all well-known people in Xiyun Mansion."
Zuo Chongming turned a deaf ear and said loudly: "I am very lucky to be able to invite you all today..."
As soon as everyone heard this, their mood immediately improved.
Most of the resentment that had just been raised was gone unconsciously.
As the old saying goes, everyone carries the sedan chair.
Zuo Zhongming rattled his hat on them, so naturally they wouldn't listen, and kept shaking their heads when he was obedient.
In just a few words, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became lively and relaxed.
Of course, that's just the surface.
Anyone who can attend a banquet as a representative of power is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
If you pluck out an eyelash at random, it will become hollow.
Although there were smiles on their faces, everyone did not dare to relax in their hearts.
They had investigated Zuo Chongming beforehand, and he was by no means an easy character to get along with.
If you really treat him as a seventeen-year-old kid, I'm afraid he will be tricked to the point where no bones or scum will be left.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Zuo Chongming put down his chopsticks, picked up the tea, cleared his mouth, and said softly: "Actually, I invite you all to come here. Firstly, I want to get to know each other, and secondly..."
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly pounded, and they secretly cursed: "Here comes the topic."
"You must not have forgotten the disaster that happened to the Liansheng Sect not long ago, right?"
Zuo Chongming pondered and said: "As far as I know, the leader of the Liansheng Sect is at the late stage of the Yuanhai Realm, and the two guardians are also at the Yuanhai Realm."
"There are also eight guardians. The four elders are all at the late stage of Guiyuan Realm. There are also thirty-six rudders, and the rudder leaders are all blood coagulation realm warriors."
Everyone was a little confused and couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, so they could only nod in agreement.
Zuo Chongming continued: "The Liansheng Sect alone cannot cause such a big mess. We also have to add the remnants of the previous dynasty, evil spirits, and barbarian masters."
"But I have made statistics afterwards. Based on the strength of various places in Jinyun Prefecture, even if the Liansheng Sect adds these helpers, it will not cause such a mess."
One person asked: "What does Mr. Hou mean?"
Zuo Chongming said: "You must also know that Xiyun Mansion was completely captured at the beginning, and only Ping'an County, where I was in charge, defended."
Everyone felt ominous, and laughed dryly as they were about to interrupt: "The Marquis has outstanding abilities..."
Zuo Chongming said meaningfully: "From this incident, I have thought of the key to the problem, which is... everyone is too scattered."
"When the rebels attacked, the sects fought on their own, and the aristocratic families only wanted to protect themselves. It would be strange for Zhenfusi to fight alone and not be defeated."
"Later, various places fell, and many aristocratic families, clans, sects and gangs withdrew to Ping'an County. Everyone formed a rope and easily defeated the enemy."
Someone hesitated and asked: "According to the wishes of the Marquis, is it possible that he wants us to join the Zhenfu Division?"
"It's a beautiful thought."
Zuo Chongming rolled his eyes: "You want to vote, but I am too lazy to ask for it. Every warrior is a bottomless pit, and the Zhenfu Division cannot afford it."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone showed relieved smiles and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Incorporation is impossible, but cooperation is possible."
Zuo Chongming changed his words and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, both parties benefit from cooperation. Only by sincere cooperation can we develop together."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cooperation?
Everyone can't help but be a little confused. I am a member of the Jianghu. What can I do to cooperate with your court?
Since ancient times, the imperial court and the martial arts world have only had two situations, either they are incompatible with each other, or they have nothing to do with each other. How can they cooperate?
Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and tutted: "As the saints say, no one is perfect. The same is true when it comes to power, no one is perfect."
"The sect is as good as the sect, and the court is as bad as the court, and vice versa. Cooperation is the best result, isn't it?"
Bian Yunqing frowned and asked, "Master Hou, you might as well elaborate."
Zuo Chongming smiled and said: "As far as I know, the sect's manpower is limited, so it is difficult to find disciples. After all, there are only one person in a thousand who has spiritual veins."
Someone's heart moved: "Master Hou means..."
"The Chief of Staff can help."
Zuo Chongming said softly: "The Zhenfu Division is subordinate to the imperial court. It can legitimately summon the people to test their spiritual qualifications and deliver them to you."
"Of course, how to distribute these new disciples depends on how many of them agree to it first. It won't be too late to discuss it in detail later."
Bian Yunqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, because after the Xuanjian Sect was reestablished, the first thing to do was to recruit new disciples.
If Zuo Chongming helps, a lot of time can be saved.
Thinking of this, her tone couldn't help but become urgent: "This is a good idea, but the Marquis is talking about a transaction. I wonder what you want?"
When the others heard this, they subconsciously pricked up their ears.
If the price is fair, they won't mind cooperating.
"What I want is very simple."
Zuo Chongming raised a finger and said with a smile: "There are many mineral veins under the names of various sects, right?"
"The world is not peaceful now. If you want to mine them, you must have enough manpower and send disciples to take care of them."
"The disciples of the sect all have spiritual veins. If you waste your good time on such trivial matters, wouldn't it be a waste of the talent given by God?"
"I can help you solve your problems, such as recruiting people, such as sending people to take care of you. The price is only... 10% of its profit."
Is this price high?
Ask yourself, it’s not too high.
From the perspective of the sect, by only paying 10% of the profit, you can save yourself the trouble of recruiting people and save your disciples' time... It's a huge profit.
After a while, someone couldn't help but test: "Master Marquis, I would like to ask, do you have so many people under your command?"
Zuo Chongming smiled and asked: "I have a total of 1,700 patrolling envoys and 600 demon-slaying envoys under my command. Do you think that is enough?"
With the open beta testing of the game, many high-ranking players and professional high-level players have poured in, and the number of warriors under his command has expanded a lot.
No matter how many demons there are in Xiyun Mansion, they can't withstand the blindness of the players, so he has to find some part-time jobs for these players...
"hiss……"
Everyone's expression changed, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Isn't this too perverted?
Such a huge number is enough to form an army. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Emperor Wu?
wrong!
Everyone suddenly remembered that the next door to Xiyun Mansion was Congyun Mansion, and the barbarians were watching there.
Under such circumstances, the stronger Zuo Chongming became, the happier Emperor Wu would be.
"And one more thing."
Zuo Chongming raised his teacup and said casually: "We cannot set up markets casually in the future, because it will affect the safety of nearby people."
"safety?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and couldn't understand.
Zuo Chongming's reason is very good: "Everyone who comes and goes in the city is a warrior. If you have a way, dragons and snakes are mixed together. The people nearby will inevitably suffer."
"But..." Someone wanted to retort.
Zuo Chongming added: "Fangshi can only be built in specific places. The specific places will be discussed later."
"It all depends on the order of the Marquis."
Everyone thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing to lose.
After the recent disasters and chaos, the old nests of various sects and sects have suffered considerable losses, not to mention the peripheral markets.
In a short period of time, they didn't even think about rebuilding. Recuperation and recuperation were the best option, so Zuo Chongming's order... was of no use.
No one noticed that Zuo Chongming quietly covered the raised corners of his lips by drinking tea.
