Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 437 Alliance
"Mother-in-law!"

Wu Lian called out respectfully but ignored the other people.

The man in the cloak also turned away with a hint of anger.

The old woman hummed softly:
"I have summoned you all here in your busy schedule. Some things are not convenient to say in a letter."

The old woman's voice was as kind and gentle as that of the grandmother next door, revealing a sense of calmness that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Everyone nodded slightly.

The old woman pointed at the scholar and said:
"This is a distinguished guest from Yizhou. He came to me with a letter from Mr. Wei, hoping to convene a meeting with you all."

After saying that, she looked at the scholar.

The scholar looked at Wu Lian who had just appeared and introduced himself:

"My name is Guang Chengji, from Leizhou, currently serving as the Minister of the Central Secretariat of Daqian and the Junior Guardian of the Crown Prince."

He had already said the same thing to several other people, and this time he was talking to Wu Lian alone.

There was no expression on Wu Lian's face, but his other hand reached out to the bamboo plate in front of the old woman as if habitually and picked up a relatively fat insect.

Snapped!
The old woman slapped Wu Lian's hand away.

A smile suddenly appeared on Wu Lian's extremely gloomy face.

The old woman shook her head helplessly, picked a fatter insect from the bamboo plate she had selected and handed it over.

Wu Lian didn't hesitate, he took it and swallowed it, with a satisfied expression on his face.

There was a gleam in the eyes of the other two or three people, as if they were a little jealous.

Guang Chengji's Adam's apple rolled, he took a deep breath, and continued to smile:

"Mr. Wei asked me to persuade you to help the elite troops of Daqian to capture Leizhou!"

The five people looked calm, without any emotion. The man who ate meat suddenly spoke, his voice was as loud as the sound of a bell:
"Can't the elite troops of Prince Xuanyi take down a mere Leizhou? After Chu Yuanzhen's death, Leizhou is now ruled by a civilian official. What can he do?"

"You must have set a trap for us, waiting for us to fall into it!"

Guang Chengji smiled and said:
"How dare I set a trap for the Five Heroes of Leizhou? It is only a matter of time before Daqian takes Leizhou. But your majesty also wants to shorten the war. We, as ministers, should also share your worries."

The cloaked man spoke slowly:
"That's your own business. If we really want to cooperate, I only care about what we can get!"

Guang Chengji smiled and said, "The benefits that can be gained from winning a war are unimaginable."

"In addition to being able to obtain a large amount of resources, I think for the five immortals, the luck of the entire Nine Provinces should be the most worthy of attention!"

After the scholar finished speaking, the entire patio fell into dead silence.

Indeed, for the Five Heroes of Leizhou, the things in the secular world have long been insufficient to satisfy them. As warriors, who would not pursue a higher realm of martial arts?

The beautiful woman who was playing with the little snake fiddled with her earrings, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the scholar with a smile:

"You put it nicely. The luck of the Nine Provinces is still in the hands of the little emperor Dayang."

Guang Chengji shook his head and sighed:
"That's true. As long as Dayang survives, the luck of Jiuzhou will still belong to Dayang. It's just that Mr. Wei has found a way to steal the luck from Dayang to Daqian."

"Stealing luck?" The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Mr. Wei a member of the Xuanmen sect?"

The others also frowned.

Guang Chengji did not explain, but continued:
"Everyone has more or less heard about what happened in Jiuzhou. The Buddhist sect has already cooperated with our Daqian."

"As long as the five of you are willing to cooperate, sooner or later one part of Jiuzhou will belong to Daqian, and the luck shared by Conglong can also help you go further!"

The beautiful woman was surprised: "Buddhism. They finally made a choice?"

They all looked at each other. They did have considerable power in Leizhou, but the banner of Buddhism was the real appeal.

The cloaked man's eyes were uncertain, and he sneered: "The choice of the Buddhist sect has nothing to do with us. Since we want to discuss cooperation, let's talk about something practical and stop riddles with us here!"

Hearing this, Guang Chengji did not get angry, but laughed instead.

He knew that as long as he took out the Buddhist flag, the five people would definitely be tempted. Although the cloaked man had a cold tone, the fact that he asked for real value from them also showed that they were already tempted.

Once the seeds of greed take root and sprout, they will be unstoppable!

The scholar waved his hand and said in a calm tone:
"The reward His Majesty gave is that after the mission is accomplished, the entire area south of Leizhou will be given to the five of you."

The five of them exchanged glances quickly, and even the old woman's calm heart began to tremble. She asked back, "If you cede the southern part of Leizhou to us, aren't you afraid that we will turn against you in the end?"

Guang Chengji laughed and said:
"My Majesty cares about all the nine states, how could he only care about the gains and losses of this state? As long as you work hard, you can open a sect in Leizhou in the future, and it is not impossible to establish a great sect like Taixuan Sect!"

The gorgeous woman looked at the old woman and said, "Grandma, what do you think?"

Facing everyone's gaze, the old woman looked at Wu Lian instead, and said calmly: "Wu Lian, what do you think?"

"I don't care about establishing a sect. As long as they can help me break through the spiritual journey, it doesn't matter how many people I kill."

Guang Chengji was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Outside Tianshui County, next to a pavilion beside the pass in front of the forest.

Akagi Jiao picked up seven sacks and threw them on the ground. The sacks shook quickly a few times. He turned around and kicked them, and the sacks immediately became quiet.

"Senior, these guys are not weak, why don't you let us brothers eat them."

Fang Xuan shook his head: "They are still useful to me."

The sack contained the An family's ten heavenly stems.

It’s a pity that Chongguang, Zhaoyang and Zhanmeng were devoured by the Buddhist demon boy, and now there are only seven of the Ten Heavenly Stems left.

Goodbyes are always short.

Fang Xuan bought a Niu Cha on Guandao Road, and with the help of five great demons, he threw seven people on the car.

Everyone looked at each other and waved, watching Fang Xuan driving the ox cart slowly disappear on the official road.

"Boss Jiao, what do you think is the grudge between Senior Fang and King Lingxi? It's not like they're fighting to the death!"

Looking at Fang Xuan leaving, Yun Xinshi asked in a low voice.

Chi Mu Jiao's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "How would I know? The king didn't say anything after he came back this time, and just asked us to take Fang Xuan back."

They were in a very heavy mood. Fang Xuan and his men did meet him, but they didn't bring back a single hair.

No one knew how Lingxi should punish them!

"Boss Jiao, why don't we just not go back and find a place to stay in Tianshui County, and wait for Senior Fang to finish his business, and then go to Haizhou together?"

The monsters hesitated for a long time, and Yun Xinshi suddenly made a suggestion in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, the other four monsters did not hesitate at all.

"I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money. I'm going to rob a few humans on the official road first!"

"Do you think there are any upper-level warriors in Tianshui County? Our disguises can't fool upper-level warriors!"

"Let's go, let's go, who cares? I don't want to stay in this lousy Zhongzhou for even one more day!"
