Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Wei Qing said in unison: "Hey! Fellow Daoist Yan has come a long way, so why bother leaving in such a hurry? You might as well rest here for a few days and let our Chamber of Commerce fulfill our friendship as landlords."

"Yan returned from this trip without success. He really has no shame in staying here to enjoy and feast. I will rush back to the sect as soon as possible to report this matter to the headmaster. I think our sect will reconsider its relationship with your Chamber of Commerce."

"In that case, I will not force you to stay. Fellow Taoist Yan, please give a few words to fellow Taoists of your sect. Our Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to the relationship with your sect. Cooperation with Netherworld Sea is related to the overall situation of our Chamber of Commerce in the future. , please forgive me."

"Your sect is one of the four major Xuanmen and is the leader in Xuanmen in the world. Why can't we accommodate a Netherworld Sea organization? If we can unite sincerely, why should we fear that the Mubei demon will come back?"

Yan Ziyu said expressionlessly: "What Fellow Daoist Wei means is that if our sect opposes your cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization, and the Mubei Demon returns in the future and attacks Qingzhou again, your Chamber of Commerce and the Netherworld Sea Organization will change their banners? No more. Help us fight against the Mubei demon?"

Wei Qing smiled and said: "No, Fellow Daoist Yan has misunderstood me. This chamber of commerce has always been clear on major issues of right and wrong. We will never help the demon clan. I can vouch for this for our chamber of commerce. I just hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely." , just like fighting against the Mubei demon during the Qinghai War."

"If we can get rid of the differences between factions, not to mention defending Qingzhou, but also counterattacking the demons, it is not impossible to retake the three counties of Mubei."

"But, having said that, the Netherworld Sea Organization has made great contributions in fighting the Mubei demon. Without their timely help, Qingzhou would not be so peaceful now."

"But Guizong and Qingzhou comrades were watching them like rebels. Wei thought it was too much!"

"If one day, the Mubei demon comes back and invades Qingzhou again, our Chamber of Commerce will naturally choose to fight on the same front as Guizong."

"But it's hard to say whether Netherworld Sea will change its banner. For the sake of the overall situation, Wei hopes that Guizong will consider this carefully."

Yan Ziyu said coldly: "Don't worry about Taoist fellow Wei, our sect will have some considerations. Even if the Netherworld Sea Organization rebels and colludes with the Mubei demons, our sect and our Qingzhou Xuanmen colleagues are fully capable of stopping them. Besides, Fellow Daoist Wei, don’t forget that there is more than just Taixuanzong in the world. When that happens, how can other Xuanmen sit back and ignore it?”

Wei Qing said: "That's good. By the way, there is one more small thing. I hope your lord can take it to heart. Today, our Chamber of Commerce has received many reports. It is said that in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, there are many Taoisms that attack the merchant ships of various chambers of commerce. This is not good. I hope your sect can restrain these sects to prevent conflicts and friction between the chamber of commerce below and them. This is what we don’t want to see. "

"Farewell." Yan Ziyu replied coldly, turned around and left the hall.

…

Qingzhou, Donglai County, Nether Sea Organization Branch, everyone gathered together in the main hall.

A burly man said: "Everyone should know that the entire Donglai County Xuanmen and Cultivation Family recently launched a large-scale siege against the chamber of commerce that cooperates with us. Yesterday, the head of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce in Donglai County came to me and asked us to Deal with this matter as soon as possible. The purpose of convening you for discussion today is to resolve this matter. What do you think?"

Another man frowned and said, "What do the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce say? It's their chamber of commerce's supplies that are being robbed. Are they just going to swallow their anger and leave everything to us to solve?"

"This is the condition we agreed to when we first cooperated. If we encounter opposition from Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family, we need to address it. Of course, the Chamber of Commerce will also take a series of countermeasures, but we cannot sit idly by. "

"When the matter has reached this point, I think it is impossible to resolve it through negotiation alone. The only way is to make the matter bigger first, and then force the other three major Xuanmen to mediate and put pressure on Taixuanzong."

"We must make them suffer. Since we entered Donglai County, they have been making small moves. We must take this opportunity to launch a major counterattack, otherwise such things will continue in the future."

"In Qinghai, we can also make some moves to put pressure on them."

"We must give them some color. They can rob merchant ships, and we can also treat them the same way they do."

………

Donglai County, Fenglong Mountains, where the Fourth Legion of Qingwu Camp of Taixuanzong is stationed. In the majestic and majestic cave, a man with a broad forehead and broad face came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Uncle Jiang, senior Yu Hao of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce. I'm here, I have something important to see you."

"Take him to the meeting hall and wait!" In the room, an old man with gray hair on his temples sat in the chair. It was Jiang Yuyi, the commander of the fourth regiment of Qingwu Camp.

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I leave everything to you regarding Huan'er." Below, a beautiful middle-aged woman spoke.

"Junior Sister Yuan, please feel free, I know how to deal with it."

"Then I won't disturb Senior Brother Jiang as he handles business, and I'll take my leave." The woman stood up and said.

"I will see Junior Sister Yuan off. After returning to the sect, he will say hello to my uncle for me. I will visit him after I return to the sect."

"Definitely." The two chatted and left the cave. The woman's figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

In the antique hall, a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ape-like arms sat down, followed by several men and women wearing Qiankun Chamber of Commerce costumes. There were several black brocade cloths placed in the hall.

Jiang Yuyi came in from outside. The two of them bowed their heads and sat down separately.

The man got straight to the point and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I won't say any more polite words. This time I came to ask for excuses from your department on the order of the president. Your disciples looted the property of our chamber of commerce for no reason. In this matter, you The boss must give us an explanation!”

"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Changyi asked calmly without changing his expression.

The man turned his hand and took out a few tokens. With a wave of his hand, the black brocade cloth in the hall was opened, and there were several bloody corpses lying inside: "These are all disciples of your department! This is from their storage." The noble sect's token found in the bag is specially returned to your department today. Please tell fellow Daoist Jiang whether it is genuine or not."

Jiang Yuyi said expressionlessly: "Yes, they are indeed our disciples."

"Since Fellow Taoist admitted that it was your department that attacked the merchant ship of our Chamber of Commerce, it is reasonable to ask your department to bear the losses caused by our Chamber of Commerce!"

"Why don't fellow Daoist Yu think about why they attacked the merchant ships of your Chamber of Commerce?"

Yu Hao's face darkened: "Is Taoist Fellow Jiang joking? Your disciples attacked members of our chamber of commerce, and you want Yu to think why? If someone kills fellow Taoist's descendants one day, will fellow Taoist ask himself why others I want to kill your descendants.”

Jiang Yuyi looked calm: "If I have no enmity with that person, I naturally have to think about why he attacked my descendants for no reason. Did I offend him in some way, or hindered this person's interests in some way? Isn’t it human nature to think about these things that led him to kill him?”

Yu Hao's face was gloomy, and he smiled angrily: "Fellow Taoist, you mean that your disciples robbed the merchant ships of our Chamber of Commerce and attacked and killed the monks of our Chamber of Commerce. All of this is the fault of our Chamber of Commerce?"

"You are to blame yourself. Fellow Taoist said it yourself. I have never said that, but I agree with what you said to a certain extent."

"So, your sect is determined to become an enemy of our chamber of commerce?"

"We have never thought about being enemies with your Chamber of Commerce. It is a pity that something like this happened. To be precise, it was your Chamber of Commerce that actively chose to be our enemy, which forced us to do this. "

Yu Hao was furious and shouted: "Fellow Taoist's remarks are simply ridiculous. It was clearly your department that attacked members of our chamber of commerce, but instead it slandered our chamber of commerce for provoking disputes. Are all people in the world blind? Fellow Daoist's attitude , I think there is nothing left to talk about. Since your ministry is relying on power to bully others and intends to use force to force us, without caring about the long-term friendship between you and us, then this Chamber of Commerce will only stay with us until the end. "

Jiang Yuyi said: "Why should Fellow Daoist Yu be angry? There are no outsiders here. You don't need to show such indignation. What Jiang just said was from the bottom of his heart. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Yu has been beating around the bush and making excuses. You and I both understand in our hearts. , this matter is not ours to decide, I am just following orders."

"To be honest, it's hard for me to understand why your Chamber of Commerce can make such a short-sighted decision. By choosing to cooperate with the Netherworld Sea Organization, you are taking the initiative to stand on the opposite side of Xuanmen. Of course, this also includes the large and small cultivation families in Qingzhou."

"I admit that the Netherworld Sea Organization played a role and made meritorious deeds in the fight against the Mubei Demon. I also admit that their overall strength is not weak, but with their little strength, they are far from qualified to compete with Xuanmen."

"We are all sensible people. There is no need to pretend to be confused. The reason why your Chamber of Commerce cooperates with the Nether Sea Organization is simply to stay together to compete with our sect. It wants to gain greater benefits and voice in Qingzhou, or it wants to regain its position in Yanzhou. Take back the dominance.”

"But you have chosen the wrong partner, so I might as well say it bluntly. If your chamber of commerce still insists on going your own way, incidents like this will inevitably happen again. Those chambers of commerce in Donglai County that have announced cooperation with Netherworld Sea will find it difficult to move forward here."

"The large and small Xuanmen in Qingzhou will gradually terminate their cooperation with you, including various cultivating families, and even the merchant ships of your chamber of commerce may not be able to freely pass through the inland of Qingzhou in the future. Which is more important, please consider it carefully."

Yu Hao snorted coldly: "I'm afraid Daoyou Jiang's words are a bit exaggerated! Can your sect represent the Xuanmen? Will the Daode sect, Yuxu sect, and Shangqing sect listen to your command?"

"Not to mention the Xuanmen sects in other prefectures and counties, even in Qingzhou, Guizong may be powerless if he wants to command other Xuanmen sects!"

"The large and small Xuanmen in Donglai County are also on guard against the Netherworld Sea Organization and are worried that they will grow bigger and hinder their own interests, so they share the same hatred and cooperate with Guizong."

"But how many Daxuanmen in Beihai County, Pingyuan County and other places will obey the command of your sect and refuse to cooperate with this chamber of commerce? The development of Netherworld Sea in Donglai County has nothing to do with them. They are willing to sacrifice their own interests to cooperate. Noble sect?"

"Your Majesty, don't think too highly of yourself. The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. I'm worried that your Majesty will eventually shoot yourself in the foot and make the world laugh."

"That's it for now, I'll take my leave."
