Chen Miuzhu rewrote it five times as required before making no mistakes. When he was finally able to submit the manuscript, the concierge poured cold water on him with two words: "Are you representing an individual or your group?"
"Of course it's a representative group! Behind us are hundreds of island owners and tens of thousands of monks from the East China Sea!"
The concierge monk ignored his bluff threats and suggested slowly: "If this is the case, you need to stamp it with your official seal."
"Official seal?"
"Yes, since it is not a private matter but a business-to-business affair, all documents must be stamped with the official seal."
Chen Miuzhu was a little confused: "We... don't have any official seal..."
Yu Jingzi said: "We can engrave one..."
The concierge monk directly rejected it: "Absolutely not. Without an official seal, it is an illegal organization. Your application to see the palace envoy is in vain and no one will accept it. If you carve a seal privately without approval and reporting, neither the Taoist sect nor the court will recognize it.
Yes, the authenticity can be distinguished by comparison, and it will be treated as a crime of fraud."
"No! I must see the envoy of Tangyuan! Otherwise, the warships of our island owners' alliance will gather together and attack Yingtian, which will surely bring disaster to all of you!"
Yu Jingzi on the side reminded quietly: "Maybe it would be better to change the word!"
The concierge monk said with a bitter face: "I'm serious. Let's do this. It's not that I don't want to help you. There are two ways."
"Say it quickly!"
"First, go to Jimingguan and apply to legalize your island owners' alliance, so that the official seal can be engraved. The materials that need to be submitted include an application for establishment, articles of association, details of the person in charge, and no less than a certain number of people.
Signature of the sponsor..."
Chen Miuzhu suddenly had a headache and sternly refused: "No! What about the second method?"
"The second method is to treat it as a temporary group. You don't need to stamp it, but you need to issue a description of your society's situation and attach the joint signatures of all petitioners. Finally, the main person in charge will sign the application.
.”
Chen Miuzhu looked confused, took the application form handed back by the concierge monk, and left the Xianling Palace with Yu Jingzi.
The concierge monk sent them out, cupping his fists and saying, "If you have any questions, you can come to me again."
Returning to Jiming Temple, Chen Miuzhu asked Yu Jingzi: "What should I do?"
Yu Jingzi said: "How about? Let's go back? When the Wutong Island owner's fleet came to visit, they knew the consequences of not accepting our petition today."
Chen Miuzhu said sadly: "Can I still go back? I have signed the military order and drank the farewell wine. How will I explain when I go back? Tell the island owner that I, Mr. Chen, will go back with the surnames Zhao, Tang and Tang.
The one from Lu, the one with the surname Wei, don’t care what the last name is, but I haven’t seen any of them? They didn’t even submit the application form?”
Yu Jingzi comforted: "It's not our fault, it's a procedural issue, the procedures are incomplete..."
"Can the island owner let me go? You, Taoist friend Yu Jingzi, can just go somewhere else and it will be over. My whole family is on Ling'ao Island!"
Yu Jingzi was a little embarrassed: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Chen Miuzhu knew that what he had said was too serious, so he shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have said such words. Taoist fellow Taoist and I, Mr. Chen, are of the same mind. You are willing to accompany me to die. This is the most righteous act. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
crime."
Yu Jingzi said: "No wonder, no wonder."
The two of them sat there until the evening. Yu Jingzi couldn't help but went to the corner to put a plate on it and secretly opened "Inside and Outside the Imperial City"...
That night, the house was brightly lit with candles, Chen Miuzhu was writing at his desk, and Yu Jingzi was reading under the lamp. At dawn, the two pairs of red eyes looked at each other and smiled, and each stretched his waist.
Chen Miuzhu handed the letter he wrote and the explanatory report attached to it to Yu Jingzi for reading. Yu Jingzi's thoughts were all on Su Daji, so how could he have time to read such a thick and boring text?
His eyes widened, he nodded and said: "Very good."
"Then shall I send it?"
"Send it."
A teleportation flying talisman rose from Jilong Mountain, flew out of Yingtian, and headed straight for the East China Sea. The transmission distance of the teleportation flying talisman was much lower than that of the message flying talisman. When it arrived on a certain ship in the East China Sea, it quickly returned to the East China Sea.
He was transferred out and flew to a small island.
There is a high mountain on one side of the island, and on the back of the mountain facing the sea, there are countless temporary shacks, with more than a dozen long trestles extending from the stilts, and countless sea-going ships are moored beside the trestles.
Taoist Wutong was checking the combat readiness in Longziying Water Village, when a leader of his men rushed towards him: "Leader, Leader Chen's flying talisman has arrived!"
Taoist Wutong nodded: "After waiting for many days, it's finally here. Whether it's war or peace, it depends on today!"
Immediately, he asked curiously: "Why is it so thick? We don't have so many conditions?"
After unfolding it, I looked at it on the spot, and the more I looked at it, the tighter my brows became.
Yin Zhanlong observed the situation and asked: "Leader, Cockcrow Temple does not agree to our conditions? Then let's fight!" A group of his leaders also petitioned: "Let's fight!"
Taoist Wutong ignored them, found a boat to lean against, and continued to watch...
After a long time, he said: "It's not a battle..."
Yin Shunlong asked: "Does that mean Jimingguan agreed?"
Taoist Wutong shook his head: "It's not...just look at it."
Yin Shunlong's cultural level is not high. He can read a lot of big characters, but he can't understand how to combine them into sentences.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Miuzhu was selected to go ashore for negotiations. Chen Miuzhu has good knowledge and will not be deceived by the Taoist sect.
Wutong Taoist also knew that Yin Zhanlong could not understand, so he let him glance at it twice and snatched it back: "Let's put it this way, Chen Miuzhu hasn't seen anyone yet."
Before Yin Zhanlong could scold Chen Miuzhu as a waste, Taoist Wutong had already spoken: "I am ordering all the ship owners to come to my tent in the middle camp to discuss matters at night!"
"Yes!" After receiving the military order, the leader of the order turned around and ran away. After running away for two steps, he came back: "Leader, is it all the shopkeepers of the order alliance, or just one of us?"
Taoist Wutong said: "We ourselves, with so many ships in the alliance, and so many shopkeepers, can my big tent be spread out? Let's take some snacks!"
"Yes yes yes!"
That night, in the big tent of Wutong Taoist Zhongying, all the ship owners of Ling'ao Island gathered together, there were more than sixty people. Two large ships with one thousand materials, six sea ships with five hundred materials, and sixteen ships with two hundred or three hundred materials.
Medium-sized ships, plus forty small boats with hundreds of materials, this is the direct strength of Ling'ao Island.
Taoist Wutong sat on a high-backed chair in the middle, with Yin Zhanlong, Zhang Feiren (Zhang Zheng) and other four generals sitting on both sides of him. The other shopkeepers sat below according to their strength. The large tent was crowded with people.
After Chen Miuzhu's letter was recited loudly by the leader, there was a sudden noise below. Some people called Chen Miuzhu a loser, some said that they were despised by Jiming Temple and they couldn't stand the anger. Some volunteered to go to Yingtian.
Those who succeeded Chen Feishi were even more clamoring to immediately raise troops and attack the Yangtze River Estuary.
After the following discussion was completed, Taoist Wutong asked his confidant: "Feiren, tell me, what does the other side mean?"
