Chapter 346 Returning to Xuezhou

"There is no such thing as a good banquet." Sun Changhai looked at the four people in front of him and listened to what they had finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing with a wry smile.

A few days ago, he received a message from Gongsun Chan, inviting him to Liao County as a guest.

Originally, he didn't think too much about it. The white ghost's southward journey is coming soon. Of course, the support from the south is very important, but the most important thing is the resistance of Selangor itself. And this is very dependent on the full cooperation among the three sects in Selangor.

Gongsun's newly released a golden elixir, this is a great thing, it means that the local strength of Selangor to fight against the white ghosts has been further strengthened.

Due to the special environment faced by Selangor, the internal fighting among the monks here is very intensified. Everyone guards their own one-acre three-point land, and it is too late to watch and help each other. Moreover, even if it is to cause trouble, it may not be cost-effective, because Selangor is too poor.

The relationship between the parties is relatively harmonious and close. When this danger is approaching, as the Supreme Elder of Baiyangmen, it is quite normal for him to meet Gongsun Chan, the new golden elixir of the Gongsun family, to discuss the next thing.

But as soon as he arrived at the place, the banquet had just started, and three uninvited guests appeared in front of him.

Lu Chaohe, Li Yanling, and real Yunxuan.

Selangor is located in a remote place, but it does not mean that Sun Changhai is blind and deaf. He must have heard about such a major change in the top management of Yan State.

Now, what he is facing is not just an important figure in the Lu family and the head of the Qingfeng Sect. What he is facing is the younger brother of Emperor Dayan, His Royal Highness the Empress of the Dayan Dynasty.

Among the people present, his cultivation base, Sun Changhai, was the highest, reaching the fifth level of Jindan. The other four little fellows, Lu Chao and just Jindan, Yunxuan and Gongsun Chan have not been Jindan for a few years, and they are all newcomers to the first level of Jindan. Even Li Yanling, who has the deepest cultivation base, has not yet entered the middle stage of Golden Core.

But even so, facing the four of them, especially Li Yanling's halo of the queen, still made him dare not have any negligence.

After bowing to say hello, the four of them directly explained the purpose of their visit without talking nonsense.

The Lu family will send family monks to enter Baiyangmen and Qingyou Valley to study; Baiyangmen and Qingyou Valley need to report to the Lu family every year their income, expenditure, statistics and promotion of the monks under the sect; the two families need to promise , once the Lu family is summoned, they must unconditionally disburse supplies and dispatch monks as required, and obey the command and order.

After listening to these requests, Sun Changhai did not answer immediately,

His eyes first looked at Gongsunchan.

Although he didn't speak, the questioning meaning in his eyes was already very obvious.

"We are different from you. We are not a sect, but an aristocratic family. We have other arrangements." Gongsun Chan said with a smile, "The court promises that our Gongsun family will guard Liao County forever, and Gongsun Xia will be named Marquis of Liao. .But the same, finance and personnel affairs must be reported to the imperial court."

"You agreed?"

"Agreed." Gongsunchan took a sip of tea and continued, "There is nothing to refuse. We, the Gongsun family, have no ambitions. Yongzhen Liaojun can already satisfy us. In the past, we were in Liaojun. The idea of ​​expanding outwards will not exist in the future. In the past, we had to support ourselves in Liao County, but now that the imperial court has endorsed it, it is much stronger than in the past."

Sun Changhai sighed, and said, "Why bother? In the past, our three families in Xuezhou have always been the most staunch allies of Qingfengmen. Why do we need to make the relationship so complicated..."

Li Yanling chuckled, and said, "Elder Sun, why are you so euphemistic? In the past, our lips were cold and our teeth were cold. The two sides are indeed allies, but is the connection really that deep? It is nothing more than a person from Selangor to resist the white ghosts." On the first line going south, the Qingfeng Sect will give full support from behind."

"But it's different now. The Lu family has become a royal family, and it is inevitable to unify the Yan Kingdom. The Baiyangmen can agree to our conditions, and we will still be allies; or they can disagree, and then wait until the White Ghosts go south. It is not impossible for the imperial court and Qingfengmen to restore the order in Jibei, Jinan, and Yuyang by themselves."

This is a real threat.

Sun Changhai was angry, but he really didn't have the confidence, so he opened his mouth to refute something.

As Li Yanling said, it is impossible for Sun Changhai to refuse this condition. In other words, at the moment, no matter what conditions the Lu family proposes, at this juncture, he has no right to refuse.

Otherwise, the Lu family doesn't have to do anything, just watch from the sidelines, and they can wait until Baiyangmen is beaten into a cripple.

This is actually bad for the Lu family. With Baiyangmen and Qingyougu gone, it means that Qingfengmen will have to face the threat of white ghosts going south. But... so what? At best, this can only be regarded as a trouble, but Baiyangmen has to pay the price of destroying the gate.

What's more... Sun Changhai looked at Gongsunchan again, the descendant of the Gongsun family, who had already agreed to Lu's request. If I should not, then it is nothing more than someone changing from Marquis of Liao to Marquis of Xue, or simply called Duke Xue?

Anyway, the roles played by Baiyangmen and the others are very important, but who will be in charge is actually not that important.

In the past, it was not easy to completely annex Selangor, or operate Selangor to make relatively large changes, just for the Qingfeng Gate. However, the Lu family now has more than just the power of Feiyun Prefecture. With the power of the imperial court, with the posture of an emperor, Qian Yunxiaozong can't do anything, and a power of this rank like Baiyangmen can suppress one by one.

The thoughts in his heart changed a lot, and in the end, Sun Changhai could only let out a long sigh: "Alas...then what else can I say? But I follow orders."

Lu Chaohe walked towards him with a big smile, held his hands, and said, "Elder Sun doesn't need to make such a gesture. We still have to rely on you for the affairs of Xuezhou. Moreover, the future is backed by the imperial court, and the threat of the ice field It will no longer be borne by the mere land of the two states. With the backing of the entire Dayan, everyone's pressure will be much less. In this way, after Baiyangmen is relieved of a big burden, there may be other opportunities for development. Varies."

Sun Changhai remained silent, but silently pulled out the hand held by Lu Chaohe.

Although Sun Changhai felt uncomfortable losing a considerable part of his independence, he still had to admit that what Lu Chaohe said was indeed the truth.

Baiyangmen is also a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, but because this white ghost will bring a huge threat to Xuezhou every few decades, it can't develop outward at all. Accumulate strength, deal with crisis, then get weak, accumulate strength again, crisis comes again... This cycle, no one can bear it.

Perhaps, this is really a relief for Baiyangmen.

Thinking of this, Sun Changhai's mood also improved a lot.
