Chapter 346 Selangor Homecoming
"There is no good banquet." Sun Changhai looked at the four people in front of him, and after listening to their words, he couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile.
A few days ago, he received news from Gongsun Chan, who invited him to visit Liao County.
Originally, he didn't think too much about it. The White Ghost's journey to the south is about to come. The support provided by the South is of course very critical, but the most important thing is Selangor's own resistance. This relies heavily on the joint efforts of the three Selangors.
Gongsun’s new golden elixir was released, which was a good thing that was overwhelming, which meant that the local power of Selangor to fight against the white ghosts was further strengthened.
Due to the special environment facing Selangor, the internal struggle between the monks here is very not fierce. Everyone is guarding their own acre of land, and they are not too late to watch over and help each other. Even if they are full, they may not be able to make trouble, because Selangor is too poor.
The relationship between all parties is relatively harmonious and close. When this danger is approaching, as the Supreme Elder of Baiyangmen, I met with Gongsun Chan, the new Jindan of Gongsun Family, and discussed the next thing carefully. It was normal.
But as soon as he arrived at the place, three uninvited guests appeared in front of him at the beginning.
Lu Chaohe, Li Yanling, Yunxuan real person.
Selangor is located in a remote place, but it does not mean that Sun Changhai is a blind and deaf man. He must have heard of such a major change in the top leaders of Yan State.
Now, what he is facing is not just an important figure of the Lu family. The head of Qingfeng Sect is as simple as that. What he is facing is the younger brother of Emperor Dayan and the Empress of the Dayan Dynasty.
Among the people present, Sun Changhai's cultivation was the highest, reaching the fifth level of the Golden Pill. The other four little guys, Lu Chao and Gang Jindan, Yun Xuan and Gongsun Chan, have only been a few years since they became Golden Pills, and they are both newcomers to the Golden Pills level. Even Li Yanling, who has the deepest cultivation, has not yet entered the middle stage of the Golden Pill.
But despite this, facing the four people, especially the queen's halo on Li Yanling, he still dared not be negligent.
He bowed to say hello, and then the four of them didn't say much nonsense and directly explained their purpose.
The Lu family will send family monks to Baiyang Gate and Qingyou Valley for study; Baiyang Gate and Qingyou Valley need to report their income, expenditure, statistics and promotions to the Lu family every year; the two families need to promise that once the Lu family is summoned, they will definitely spend unconditionally according to the requirements, send monks to obey commands and orders.
After hearing these requests, Sun Changhai did not answer immediately, and looked at Gongsun Chan first.
Although he didn't say anything, the inquiry in his eyes was already very obvious.
"We are different from you. We are not sects, but families, and we have other arrangements." Gongsun Chan said with a smile, "The court promised that our Gongsun family would guard Liao County forever, and Gongsun Xia was named the Marquis of Liao and was hereditary. However, the same thing, finance and personnel must be reported to the court."
"Did you agree?"
"Agree." Gongsun Chan took a sip of tea and continued, "There is nothing to agree. Our Gongsun clan has no ambitions. Yongzhen Liao County can satisfy us. In the past, we were in Liao County, and we never had any intention of expanding outward, and we would not have any future. In the past, we had to support ourselves in Liao County, but now we have the imperial court to entrust our letters, which is much better than in the past."
Sun Changhai sighed and said, "Why is this necessary? In the past, our three Selangor families have always been the most determined allies of the Qingfeng Sect, so why do we have to make the relationship so complicated..."
Li Yanling chuckled and said, "Elder Sun, why do you have to speak so tactfully? In the past, our lips were gone and we were cold. We were indeed allies, but is the connection really that deep? It's nothing more than Selangor's generation, acting as the front line to resist the white ghost's going south. Qingfeng Sect is strongly supporting it in the back."
"But now it's different. The Lu family has become a royal family and united with Yan State, so it is bound to be done. Baiyang Gate can agree to our conditions, and we will still be allies; or you can disagree. After the Baigui goes south, the court and Qingfeng Gate themselves restore orders in Jibei, Jinan and Yuyang. It's not impossible."
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, Sun Changhai could not refuse this condition. Or, at present, no matter what conditions the Lu family put forward, he did not have the right to refuse at this critical moment.
Otherwise, the Lu family would have nothing to do, just watch from the side and wait until Baiyangmen is beaten to a disabled person.
This is actually harmful to the Lu family. If the Baiyang Gate and Qingyou Valley are gone, it means that Qingfeng Gate will face the threat of Baigui going south by itself in the future. But... so what? At best, this can only be considered a trouble, but Baiyang Gate will be at the cost of extermination.
What's more... Sun Changhai looked at Gongsun Chan again. This junior of the Gongsun family had agreed to the Lu family's request. If he didn't, then it would be just that he turned from a marquis of Liao to a marquis of Xue, or simply called Duke of Xue?
Anyway, the roles played by Baiyangmen and others are very important, but who will be the specific one is actually not that important.
In the past, it was not easy to operate the Qingfeng Sect to completely annex Selangor, or to operate the Selangor to make major changes. However, now the Lu family is not only the power of Feiyunzhou. With the power of the court, with the emperor's attitude, the Gan Yunxiao Sect could not move, and the Gan Baiyang Sect could suppress the power of each level.
His thoughts changed a lot, and in the end, Sun Changhai could only sigh: "Oh...what else can I say? But by orders."
Lu Chaohe walked towards him with a big smile, held his hands, and said, "Elder Sun doesn't need to do this. You still have to rely on everyone for the matter of Xuezhou. Moreover, with the future backing of the imperial court, the threat from the Ice Field will no longer be borne by the two states. With the entire Dayan as a backing, everyone will be under much less pressure. As a result, after getting rid of the Baiyang Gate, there may be other development opportunities."
Sun Changhai remained silent, but silently pulled out the hand that Lu Chaohe held.
Although Sun Changhai felt uncomfortable losing a considerable amount of independence, he still had to admit that what Lu Chaohe said was indeed the truth.
Baiyang Sect is also a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, but because this Baigui travels south for decades, it will bring a huge threat to Selangor, so it cannot develop outward at all. Accumulate strength, cope with the crisis, and then become weak, accumulate strength, and the crisis will come again... After this cycle, no one can withstand it.
Perhaps, this is really a relief for Baiyangmen.
Thinking of this, Sun Changhai's mood improved a lot.
