Chapter 263 Truce

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not dare to neglect the message from the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

After all, the last message was about the incident in Yan State.

They did not know why the Bishui Sword Pavilion called them over this time.

At that moment, the couple briefly told Jiang Renyi about the situation.

Afterwards, they did not delay and quickly rushed to the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

Almost the same as last time, when Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan came to the meeting hall of the Bishui Sword Pavilion, they found that there were already many people sitting here.

Most of them were their acquaintances.

Pavilion Master Hou Dongbai, Grand Elder Gu Yuefeng, and Elder Liuhuo, etc.

Including Wen Shujun and Li Mingkong of Tianyue Sect.

In addition to these acquaintances, there were two more strangers in the field.

After Hou Dongbai's introduction, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally knew that the two strangers in front of them were another supreme elder of the Bishui Sword Pavilion, Qin Menglan, who was at the third level of the Golden Core Cultivation and was the only female cultivator among the five supreme elders of the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

And a middle-aged man with a rather elegant face.

Yu Haoji of the Tianyue Sect.

The Taoist partner of one of his disciples once had a master-disciple relationship with the Liehuo Zhenzong.

She once wanted to take revenge on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan by taking advantage of her husband's relationship.

But she didn't succeed.

After Jiang Chengxuan and his team's achievements were spread, Yu Haoji asked someone to bring them the news, saying that he didn't know about the things at the beginning and hoped that there would be no unnecessary misunderstandings between them.

In this regard, the couple also expressed their understanding at the time.

At this time, when the two sides met, Yu Haoji really showed a very polite attitude.

He just said, "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fairy Shen are very talented. I have always wanted to get to know them, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. Today I finally get to see them in person."

As he spoke, Yu Haoji took the initiative to stand up and smiled and clasped his fists with the couple.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately smiled and clasped their fists in return.

"Fellow Daoist Yu is too polite."

As he spoke, the couple greeted other acquaintances present one by one.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Hou Dongbai, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, looked at everyone present and said seriously:

"Everyone, the main reason why we have gathered everyone here this time is about the war between our five countries."

When Hou Dongbai said this, everyone present, including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, was shocked.

Everyone knows that the war between the five countries has lasted for many years.

Whether it is the alliance of Zheng and Shu, or the three countries, they all suffered losses to varying degrees.

Hou Dongbai suddenly mentioned this at this time. Does it mean that something happened that they didn't know about?

Sure enough.

Then I heard Hou Dongbai continue: "To be honest, not long ago, I received a message from the head of Yuanyang Valley in Zheng and Qianfa Sect in Shu.

They want to sign a truce agreement with our three countries on behalf of their respective countries."

"What?"

Hearing Hou Dongbai's words, except for the people of Bishui Sword Pavilion, Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, and the three people of Tianyue Sect, all showed some surprise on their faces.

They obviously didn't expect that the alliance of Zheng and Shu would actually send them a request for a truce.

This is really a rare thing.

You know, in the past, the alliance of Zheng and Shu was actually slightly superior to the three countries.

They were also quite domineering in their actions.

If not, the incident of Fushan Wolf King wouldn't have happened during the monster rebellion.

But now, they took the initiative to ask them for a ceasefire.

Isn't this a disguised way of surrendering to the three countries?

How could the sects and families of Zheng and Shu do such a thing?

Could it be that because four Jindans had fallen from their two countries before, the strength between the two sides was narrowed, which led to their behavior?

In theory, this seems to make sense, but in reality, it is not like their style.

There must be something they don't know.

At this moment, whether it is Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or the three Jindans of Tianyue Sect, they all showed a trace of suspicion on their faces.

Then Li Mingkong of Tianyue Sect said: "Master Hou, is what you said true?

Is this another conspiracy or calculation of Zheng and Shu against our three countries?"

After Li Mingkong finished speaking, Jiang Chengxuan and others present all looked at Hou Dongbai.

Hou Dongbai replied: "This should be true, because they have clearly stated in the communication that we can sign a blood oath agreement regarding this truce agreement.

Whether it is our three countries or the alliance of Zheng and Shu, no war of any form shall be launched within a certain period of time."

After hearing what Hou Dongbai said, Jiang Chengxuan and others finally believed the truce request made by Zheng and Shu.

Since they are willing to sign the blood oath contract, the probability of violation is very small.

Because the price is definitely not something that Zheng and Shu can afford.

But at the same time, Jiang Chengxuan and the three people from Tianyue Sect also noticed it.

The armistice agreement mentioned by the other party refers to both parties, that is, the alliance of Zheng and Shu, and their three countries, and does not specifically refer to individuals, or a certain sect or family.

In other words, if someone or a certain family among them conflicts with the other party's golden elixir, or even has a life-and-death battle, it is not within the scope of this contract.

As long as the two sides do not break out into a war on a scale similar to this one, it will not be considered a violation of the contract.

When he thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly said:

"Pavilion Master Hou, do you know why they want to end this war with us?

I don't believe that with the behavior of both countries, they would swallow that breath so easily. "

The tone Jiang Chengxuan said here was naturally referring to the killing of four golden elixirs by the Three Kingdoms.

And this question is also something everyone present wants to know.

However, Hou Dongbai shook his head this time.

"The question you mentioned, Fellow Daoist Jiang, is actually what I can't figure out the most and what I feel puzzled about.

But for this question, you and I are destined to not be able to get a specific answer for the time being. We can only wait for people to slowly investigate and inquire in the future.

The most urgent thing at the moment is that we still need to discuss it first. Regarding the alliance between Zheng and Shu, we have made a ceasefire request to us. What do you think specifically? Do you think you should agree to them? "

It is undeniable that what Hou Dongbai said was not wrong.

At present, if we want to figure out why the alliance between Zheng and Shu behaves so abnormally, it is obviously not something that can be figured out in a short while.

Rather than focusing entirely on those issues, it would be better to seriously consider whether you really want to agree to them regarding the armistice.

In this regard, Yu Haoji was the first to express his position.

Just listen to him say: "If both of us can sign a blood oath contract, then I think we can agree to this matter.

After all, with the strength of both of us, if we continue to fight like this, apart from consuming each other's strength in vain, it will not have much meaning. "

His view was quickly recognized by Li Mingkong and Wen Shujun.

Obviously, after these years of observation, they all know that fighting this kind of battle will not have any big results.

After all, what they asked for in the first place was just to show their uncompromising attitude.

Now that the goal has been achieved, if it continues to be consumed like that, it will obviously be more than worth the gain.

Gu Yuefeng and Elder Liuhuo also agreed with Yu Haoji's point of view.

The same is true for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Although it feels like there may be some inside story that they don't know about.

But as Hou Dongbai said, figuring out the situation cannot be done in a short time.

The top priority is to implement the armistice as soon as possible.

"Since everyone has the same point of view, the matter has been decided like this."

Hou Dongbai looked at the crowd and said, "According to what they said in the summons, if we agree to a truce, we can go to the handover point of the border between us in five days to sign a blood oath contract.

At that time, one of the golden elixirs from each of our factions or families must be present. "

As Hou Dong finished speaking, the whole thing came to an end.

Five days later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, together with Bishui Jiange and Tianyue Sect, as well as the Jindan monks from Yun and Yan, signed an armistice agreement and made a blood oath contract with the Jindan monks from the Zheng and Shu alliance. .

Since then, the War of the Five Kingdoms, which has lasted for several years, has come to an end.

On the way back, Hou Dongbai couldn't help but send a message to Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, reminding them to be careful of the monks from Zheng and Shu in the future.

Especially the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Whether it was the original grudge between their two families, or the fact that Jiang Chengxuan killed Shangguan Yongchang in the current Five Kingdoms War, and that the Jiang family occupied the resources and mineral veins of their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it was enough for the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to attack them. The Jiang family hated him to the core.

If they don't get it right, their people will look for opportunities to attack them.

This point is not within the scope of the blood oath contract.

In this regard, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan said they would pay attention to this matter.

After the couple returned to Taixuan Mountain, the head of the family, Jiang Renyi, came over immediately.

Obviously, he had already been notified by Jiang Chengxuan about what Jiang Chengxuan and the others had done this time.

Now I came here to inquire about the results.

Jiang Chengxuan said: "Renyi, you can inform Rendao and my fifth uncle that they can come back."

"Um?"

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan's words, Jiang Renyi's heart immediately moved.

He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Chengxuan.

Then Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said: "The relevant armistice contract has been signed. Before the next monster chaos comes, the two sides are not allowed to break out any form of war again."

Hearing Jiang Chengxuan's words, Jiang Renyi felt relieved.

"However, there cannot be no monks at the Zifu level to garrison the copper mine."

Then I heard Jiang Chengxuan continue: "Let Mr. Xu be there for the time being. When we have a suitable person, we can go over and replace him."

Naturally, Jiang Renyi had no objections to Jiang Chengxuan's arrangements and nodded immediately after hearing this.

A few moments.

There was a hint of hesitation on his face.

Jiang Chengxuan noticed something strange about him and immediately asked:

"What's wrong, Renyi, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Renyi hesitated, but in the end, he still said to Jiang Chengxuan:

"Uncle, I heard that there are still many spiritual objects in our family's treasury that can be used to advance to the Purple Mansion?"

Jiang Chengxuan's brows suddenly raised slightly, and then he said with a faint smile:

"What? Who came to find you specifically?"

Jiang Renyi smiled bitterly, then nodded and said:

"I really can't hide anything from you, uncle.

Not long ago, my second brother Renchuan, as well as Shen Baifei and Shen Rushuang from the Shen family, all came to me and asked if they could withdraw their promotion to the Purple Mansion Spiritual Weapon in advance.

Especially the two members of the Shen family, I think their lifespan seems to be running out. If they continue to delay, I am afraid it will be difficult to wait until the day when they can accumulate enough contributions. "

"Yeah?"

Jiang Chengxuan turned his head and glanced at Shen Ruyan beside him, then smiled and said to Jiang Renyi:

"You are right, now our family treasury does have many spiritual objects that can be used to advance to the Purple Mansion.

There are only two Zixia jade.

In addition, there are five Zitian Pills.

In addition, there are also some Five Elements Crystals and Purple True Pills. "

"This... so much?"

Jiang Renyi was immediately startled.

He really wasn't very clear about what Jiang Chengxuan was talking about now.

But when he came back to his senses, a look of uncontrollable excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

Obviously, if all the things Jiang Chengxuan said are used properly, the Jiang family may be able to have many more Zifu-level monks at once.

This can definitely greatly enhance the overall strength and foundation of their Jiang family.

Moreover, if there are a few more Zifu-level monks, the Jiang family's manpower will not be so short.

You know, as a member of the Jindan Immortal Clan, the Jiang family now has many industries in the entire Liang Kingdom and even within the Three Kingdoms.

Many of these industries require monks at the Zifu level to guard them.

But therein lies the problem.

Even if the three Zifu monks from the Shen family are added, the manpower of the Jiang family Zifu monks is still far insufficient.

Thinking of this, Jiang Renyi couldn't help but said again:

"Uncle, can we... now?"

However, before Jiang Renyi could finish speaking this time, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head with certainty and said:

"Renyi, you should know that the main reason why a family or sect can continue without any major internal problems is its system.

Only when everyone can abide by the system and rules can a family or sect gradually grow stronger and have good cohesion.

If you and I take the lead in destroying and violating the system we have set, think about it for yourself, what will be the consequences in the future? "

After saying these words, Jiang Renyi was immediately speechless.

indeed.

Jiang Chengxuan was right.

If even the leaders like them take the lead in violating the family system and rules, then the people below will naturally follow suit.

Over time, the systems and rules of their clan will become ineffective.

Just when these thoughts were passing through Jiang Renyi's mind, Jiang Chengxuan said again:

"However, there are exceptions to everything. As the saying goes, rules are dead but people are alive.

As long as it does not violate the system and rules of the clan, this kind of thing is not without solutions. "
