Chapter 1971 Crisis Resolved
All parties were invited to send people to negotiate. The meeting place was not in the Netherworld, but on the planet where Hao Defang gave up jurisdiction. Miao Yi renamed the planet Zhennan Planet.
The purpose of the negotiation was to make profits. The new store, which was originally planned to be monopolized as a private property, was cut off as a last resort when his grand strategy was shrinking. The grocery store was no better than the new Xingling, which was sold everywhere. The sales channels of the grocery store It has to be spread out to make money, and most of the control of Tianjie has been given away. Without the official protection ability, if those giants are not allowed to get a share of the pie, the grocery store will not be able to survive at all. How can it continue to operate if it is often troubled by others?
However, with Hao Defang as the frontline guarantee, Miao Yi's profit transfer would not have a bottom line. He agreed that 20% of Zhengqi Sect's shares would remain unchanged, he would keep 30%, and the remaining 50% would be divided among several companies. , it’s not like giving it to those people for nothing. The original assets of Zhengqi Grocery Store are used as a condition for becoming a shareholder. Don’t let the ready-made shops go for nothing. It is impossible for Miao Yi to spend a huge amount of capital to start a new business and then share it with those people in vain. With his current strength, he can’t do that. reason.
Miao Yi did not personally participate in the negotiation. The bottom line of the negotiation was clearly drawn, and the specific negotiation was handed over to Xu Tangran. Xu Tangran was told to be more forceful, and anyone who felt too little could be dismissed.
With Miao Yi drawing a bottom line and not giving in, the final result of the negotiation could only be this.
At this point, Miao Yi finally got back the 20% of the Zhengqi Grocery Store that belonged to Miao Yi, and an additional 10%. Although this 10% still had to be given to Huangfu Jun, after all, the Zhengqi Grocery Store back then had no At the current scale, Miao Yi is still making money in general. And Zhengqimen got 20% of the members. It can be said that Miao Yi helped Zhengqimen win back the benefits it deserved.
In Miao Yi's own words, I will definitely get back what I lost with my own hands, and he has done it.
The old ones are not going away, and the new ones are not coming in. The new store Miao Yi has officially changed its name to Zhengqi Store, and the name of grocery store has been completely abandoned.
The Zhengqi Sect has its foothold in Zhennanxing, officially relying on Miao Yi's power.
In the Imperial Garden, the Qiong Tower and Jade Room were silent, with only Qingzhu and an old monk walking slowly side by side, with no other people waiting to approach.
The old monk is rich, with a kind face, wearing a golden monk's robe, barefoot, and has a calm and elegant aura.
The old monk is none other than the Lord of the Buddhist world.
Lord Qing walked with his hands behind his back. Lord Buddha held the burnt hairpin in his hand. He looked over it over and over for a long time, then sniffed it repeatedly and said in a calm tone: "Are you sure it is immortal wood?"
Lord Qing nodded: "It is completely consistent with the characteristics in the legend. It should be true."
Lord Buddha stretched out his hand and handed it back to him, "Have you not found it yet?"
Master Qing shook his head: "I can't use it all even if I find one person. I won't use it behind your back. You will definitely have a share."
Lord Buddha: "You have misunderstood the poor monk."
Qingzhu smiled noncommittally and sighed, "The clues stop at Tiangumen. I don't know who kidnapped the people from Tiangumen. Currently, the Xiahou family is the most suspected, and the Xiahou family is the most capable of doing this. Yes, but there is no evidence or clues to prove that the Xiahou family took it away, so there is no way to start. "
Lord Buddha fell into silence.
Qingzhu glanced at him and asked, "There's still no reaction at all from the Demon Suppression Tower?"
Lord Buddha shook his head: "There is nothing abnormal! Hey, those people who were chasing Lao San's clone suddenly lost contact collectively, and there was no response whether they were dead or alive. After chasing for so many years in the vast starry sky, even if they were alive, I’m afraid I’ve lost my way a long time ago. Do you think it’s possible for Lao San’s clone to find its way back?”
Qingzhu: "The clone of the third child is definitely still there and can definitely come back. Otherwise, it would not be so quiet in the Demon Suppression Tower. Do you think the third child is sitting and waiting to die?"
The Lord Buddha put his hands together for a moment and then asked: "Do you have any clues about the place where the soul of the demon monk Nanbo is sealed?"
Qingzhu: "This matter cannot be rushed. Speaking of which, the Jade Rakshasa over there seems to be running a little diligently towards the search area. Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
Lord Buddha: "She is a survivor of Nanwumen. She is more afraid of the demon monk Nanbo than ordinary people. It is understandable to worry about this. You don't doubt that she knows the sealing place, right? If she knew, after so many years, I won’t wait until now.”
Qingzhu said nothing more.
Ahead, Shangguan Qing appeared at the intersection. After the two came over, he reported: "Your Majesty, Sima Zuo envoy wants to see you."
Lord Qing nodded to Lord Buddha, and the two immediately separated. Lord Buddha continued to walk forward, and Lord Qing followed Guan Qing.
In the imperial garden, Sima Wentian met Qingzhu and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the spies."
Qingzhu said calmly: "Say it!"
Sima Wentian: "According to the spies, the reason why Niu Youde gave up most of his Tianjie power was because he saw His Majesty withdrawing the Guards' control over the Tianjie Center and knew that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold among all the forces. In order to avoid trouble , took the initiative to withdraw, and the reason why he did not give up the power of Tianjie in the Southern Army was because he had reached a secret cooperation with Hao Defang, and the reason why Hao Defang agreed to cooperate with him was not because of his previous public statement. , but Niu Youde has mastered the refining method of the new star bell that can communicate with multiple people at the same time. The refining method of the new star bell seems to be related to those who helped Yun Zhiqiu refine the jewelry. Niu Youde let Half of the profits from the new star bell were given to Hao Defang..."
"New Star Bell?" Qingzhu interrupted him in surprise.
Sima Wentian: "Yes, it is said that the new star bells can hold tens of thousands of bells each and can store the contact seals of tens of thousands of people. There is no need to carry a large number of star bells with you anymore."
Qingzhu narrowed his eyes, realizing the huge benefits involved.
Sima Wentian observed his reaction and continued to report: "Niu Youde also agreed to secretly support Hao Defang with the Netherworld Army to prevent the emergence of a second Tengfei and Cheng Taize. Hao Defang gave up the control of Tianjie to Miao Yi, and at the same time used the Southern Army as Niu Youde's frontier guarantee, and would not allow anyone to cross the Southern Army's territory to attack the Netherworld Army. He also agreed to let Niu Youde practice in the ancient dead land. This is roughly the situation."
Qingzhu's face was gloomy. Miao Yi's withdrawal of Tianjie's troops and concentration in the Southern Army caused a lot of noise. He asked Qing Yuanzun to ask about it. The answer Qing Yuanzun got from Miao Yi did not have any new Xingling, the mutual support between the Netherworld Army and the Southern Army, or the practice in the ancient dead land. He only used some public statements as a cover.
Qingzhu felt something was wrong. Could Niu Youde believe Hao Defang's bullshit promise and give up the huge benefits of Tianjie to concentrate his troops in Tianjie in the Southern Army's territory? This is why Sima Wentian investigated, and it turned out that it was not that simple. There were actually these interests hidden in secret.
Interests were secondary. This was the first time that Qingzhu discovered that Miao Yi had begun to hide some important things from Qingyuanzun. This was not what he wanted to see, otherwise why would he support Miao Yi's forces?
Even Shangguan Qing frowned. The news reported by Qingyuanzun had passed through him, so he naturally knew the difference in the news. He didn't know whether Miao Yi had concealed it or Qingyuanzun had concealed it.
After a long silence with a gloomy face, Qingzhu asked coldly: "Did his concubine report these things to you?"
Sima Wentian: "Yes! No one else can find out these secrets except her."
Qingzhu expressed doubt: "Such an important secret, Niu Youde could tell his concubine?"
Sima Wentian understood what he meant and smiled bitterly: "I was a little suspicious at first, but Niu Youde is indeed different from others. He doesn't seem to hide his situation from his woman. Not to mention these situations, his wife can even directly intervene in military and political affairs openly, and it has always been like this. Of course, in the final analysis, the spy has gained Niu Youde's true trust. It is not easy to gain his trust. Niu Youde has only one wife and one concubine so far, and I have never seen him touch other women, which shows his caution." These words also praised the good work of the Supervisory Left from another perspective.
"Hmph!" Qingzhu snorted coldly, "The little thief is abominable. I helped him up, but he actually wanted to collude with Hao Defang!"
Sima Wentian: "According to the spies, the last time the four armies were preparing to attack the Netherworld, Niu Youde noticed the crisis. Niu Youde saw that Your Majesty had no intention of taking action, and seemed to have some complaints. Now he has given up his interests and tried to protect himself."
"Hmph!" Qingzhu snorted again, and warned: "Protect the spy beside him, don't expose him, and keep him for future use!"
"Yes!" Sima Wentian agreed.
Taking advantage of the fact that all forces were concentrating their main energy on the Immortal Wood and would not react much to his actions, Miao Yi took drastic measures and cut the Gordian knot quickly. A series of actions quickly laid a stable pattern for the Netherworld Army to gain a foothold in the world, buying time for him to fully digest this force, although he sacrificed a lot of interests.
Yun Zhiqiu admired this and thought Miao Yi was good in this respect. He was decisive at the critical moment and could solve the problem decisively. Yang Qing could not compare with him in this decisiveness. Yang Qing thought too much about some things and always considered all aspects of the problem. He was tired of going around in circles.
In Yun Zhiqiu's view, this was the courage that a man with the power of decision should have. Although Yang Qing was smart and had many means, he was too calculating and could not accomplish anything.
People's minds were settled, especially for the tens of millions of Netherworld Army who were worried and frightened and fell into trouble here.
Miao Yi quickly resolved the crisis facing the Netherworld Army. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and won everyone's recognition of the commander's ability and Miao Yi's ability to protect them. Everyone began to adapt to this place, and those frightened families began to feel at ease here.
Yun Zhiqiu and other female relatives also had the leisure to play other things.
In the meditation room, the smoke from the burning immortal wood curled up, and the air was filled with smoke. Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'er, Lin Pingping, and Feihong, the four women, all took off their clothes and hid inside to bathe in the smoke, looking very happy.
This smoke was indeed extraordinary, and it didn't feel choking at all. Instead, after the pores absorbed it, they felt refreshed and comfortable. (~^~)
