Chapter 187: The two parties mediate, the crown prince of the Great Zhou is at the center of the storm After a stick of incense. At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Ge smiled as he sent Wen Shiyong onto the carriage and left Longyuan City. After some discussions in the mansion, both parties, although not everyone was happy, at least they reached a certain degree of tacit understanding in cooperation. Wen Shiyong initially hoped that Chu Ge could join the Qi Shi Mansion under King Zhenye. Chu Ge declined, citing the Yellow Turbans as an excuse. After all, he was still in the territory of Jiangcheng Prefecture in Hengzhou. The Yellow Turban Sect had not taken any action against him because of the relationship between him and the Yinshui Shenni, which was "distant in appearance but close in spirit". But that doesn't mean they can tolerate him joining King Manno's army again. Once he dared to join the Zhenye Wang Qishi Mansion, whether or not he publicized it to the outside world, he would be at risk of being discovered and conquered by the Yellow Turbans. Wen Shiyong is not a bad person either.
The invitation he made was just a temptation. Seeing that Chu Ge expressed his concerns and did not refuse outright, he was already satisfied. Finally, the two sides exchanged and confirmed other secret channels for cooperation, and established a preliminary secret cooperation relationship. Wen Shiyong is a cautious, thoughtful person who knows when to stop. He did not talk much about King Zhenye's future deployment, or reveal the blueprint for taking back Hengzhou Jiangcheng Prefecture. The Great Zhou had sixteen states and seventy-two prefectures. Although Hengzhou is mainly headed by Jiangcheng Prefecture, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has the most abundant resources. But there are still two cities, Fenglin Prefecture and Guqiu Prefecture, that can be planned. In Wen Shiyong's opinion, all he needed to do now was to maintain a certain degree of cooperation with the Lord of Longyuan City and open up some of the palace's material channels to him. For example, it provides channels for purchasing large quantities of low-priced weapons, armor, siege and defense equipment, or many spiritual materials. These are channels that are out of reach of ordinary forces. For example, the reason why the Yellow Turbans were so well-equipped was because they had the support of the Ji family behind them. After the Lord of Longyuan City tasted the sweetness of the channel of Zhenye Palace, he will naturally gradually become dependent on it and the ties will deepen. As long as there are benefits, why would he be afraid that he will not surrender in the future? However, in Chu Ge's heart, he never thought that he could be made to surrender just by cooperating in channels and interests. It’s just that for now, choosing to cooperate secretly can maximize the benefits. Since King Zhenye needed him to express his allegiance, he would just pretend to comply and cooperate for the time being. By utilizing the channels of the Manno Palace for development, you can also gain more time and space to become stronger. It would be better to wait until King Zhenye makes a big move and needs him, rather than rushing into a conflict now when one's own strength and power have not yet developed. Both parties have their own ideas and have temporarily reached a preliminary cooperation.
However, Chu Ge also needs to respond cautiously to how it will be implemented in the future. Now, he was walking on a tightrope on the cliff, and the two ends of the tightrope were pulling the Yellow Turban Sect and the Zhenye Palace. Once the relationship between one of the parties breaks down, or if he loses balance, he will fall off the cliff. "It's a problem. After using my spore mycelium poison, the Yellow Turban Sect has been asking me for more poison. They may want to use it on other battlefields." Chu Ge stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching the carriage go away, his eyes flickering and feeling emotional. None of these powerful forces are easy to deal with and cannot be easily defeated. The Yellow Turbans asked for the spore mycelium poison that he made so that they could show his sincerity in cooperation instead of just talking about it. I think it won't be long before the Zhenye Palace will also make a request. Fortunately, his spore mycelium poison was sold at a very good price at the Yellow Turban Sect. Almost every gram requires a piece of alien force crystal. Because one gram of spore mycelium poison can multiply rapidly after being stimulated by the infusion of special force. The poison will not be consumed until this gram of spore mycelium has completed its entire life cycle. The number of poisonous insects produced during this life cycle is enough to pose a great threat to even the strong ones in the Condensation Realm. "Tell Geng Lihe to come see me." After Chu Ge pondered for a moment, he suddenly said to the servant beside him. He would feel at ease to leave the matter of cooperating with the material channels of the Zhenye Palace to the shrewd and capable Geng Lihe. Only after he had dealt with all the matters here could he spare some time to sort out his gains and losses, and then he could invite Miao Daqi to join him in the journey to Zhanzhou to attend the event. In a flash, seven days passed. Lingzhou, within the imperial capital. A magnificent pavilion stands majestically on a high hill, with three gates and city walls on all four sides. On the city wall stands a large hall with a double-eaved hip roof and flying eaves with dragon and phoenix patterns. Against the backdrop of the starry sky in early summer, it displays an indescribable majestic aura. The sound of a robe being torn by the wind suddenly came, and it fell in front of the hall, revealing a sturdy figure in black brocade clothes. When his figure landed in front of the hall, he knelt on one knee, presented the latest recorded and analyzed information with both hands, and said respectfully. "Your subordinate Cao Changning has sent me the information about the famous and outstanding people in various continents and the Tianming Sect's list from the past three months. Please review it, Your Highness." "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Master Cao." A shadow suddenly appeared at the door, took the copper tube from Cao Changning's hand, and then disappeared in an instant, like a ghost. After a while, the information was presented behind the bead curtain in the attic and placed on the table. But behind the desk, he saw a distinguished figure sitting and reading a book, with a large screen with gold-plated dragon carvings behind him, which looked indescribably luxurious and domineering. The figure raised his head, picked up the long tube on the table, took out the intelligence, and then spread it out to read it word by word. His sharp eyes did not want to miss any word, and he wrote down the names of people who were worth paying attention to.
Finally, his eyes were filled with anger and fear, and he circled four or five of the dozens of names to indicate that they were the ones that needed to be followed up. The confidant who was standing beside him like a shadow asked after seeing him finish drawing. "Your Highness, should we get rid of all these people? Or..." The man who had outlined the intelligence took up his pen, his eyes frozen with coldness, and said thoughtfully, "Among these five people, two are wanted criminals by the court. Especially the fourth on the list, Ling Yinyu, the demon son of the Six Desires Demon Sect of Zhanzhou, and the first on the list, Chu Ge, the lord of Longyuan City. Of these two, one dared to molest Princess Chenxin, and the other dared to disband the Evil Suppression Division and even established Longyuan City to rebel. They are unforgivable crimes! Lord Guan must take action and kill them if possible! As for the other three, try to recruit them first!" Upon hearing this, a confidant nearby glanced at the information about the two people in the intelligence again to confirm it, and bowed to remind them. "Your Highness, among these two people, the Lord of Longyuan City who ranks first on the list has killed two powerful Spirit God Realm warriors in a row recently. Even if Lord Guan takes action, if he does not bring a magic weapon, I am afraid that this person will eventually escape." The distinguished man nodded slightly, "You are right." His eyes flashed, and he suddenly took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his body and said in a deep voice. "You take this prince's golden order and take Lord Guan into the royal armory to get the second-class divine weapon of the Bing character." "Yes!" The confidant immediately stepped forward, took the golden order with both hands, and then tiptoed out of the study and started to do it. The distinguished man's eyes fell on the list, especially the word 'famous list', his eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly. The Tianming Sect's list of names includes the Twelve Extraordinary Ones. People in the world have no idea what they are about, but they just think it is a list that focuses on influential figures, and everyone is vying to be on the list. He is a member of the royal family, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his mother is the current queen, the former second-generation saint of the Tianming Sect. How could he not know the meaning behind these two lists? Throughout the generations, the Tianming Sect has searched for the so-called Son of Destiny from the name list and the Twelve Strange Ones. There are a few destined sons like his father Zhou Wu, who were hiding outside the two lists and were only discovered in the end. Now the Great Zhou has fallen, the country is in turmoil, and gods and ghosts are emerging. Chen Jiankai, the sword master among the Twelve Masters, cut open the city wall of Jizhou Moyu Mansion with one sword and invited talented people from all over the world to start an uprising. Chu Ge, Lord of Longyuan City, who ranked first on the list, privately dissolved the Evil Suppression Bureau and showed signs of rebellion. As the crown prince of the current dynasty, he had to share his father's worries, eliminate harm for himself, and nip this threat in the bud. Unfortunately, even his father has become more suspicious of him now, and has placed him in the Qianwu Pavilion. It seems that he is required to practice martial arts diligently, but in fact he has imprisoned him to prevent him from colluding with the dignitaries. This lack of trust restricted him in every way even though he wanted to help his father and share his worries. Inside Longyuan City. Chu Ge looked at the latest list in his hand, and surprisingly included his record of killing the spiritual god She Zhuang in the latest record. Once this information is made public through the name list, I wonder how many people in the world will be shocked. "The Tianming Sect has completely set its sights on me and wants to push me to the forefront. Even though I know about this, I can't resolve it for the time being." Chu Ge frowned and snorted coldly, then suddenly threw away the name list and released a cloud and rain force that shattered it.
It would be fine if you didn’t know about the Child of Destiny created by the Tianming Sect. At best, the list of famous people is just an empty title. But precisely because he knew this, Chu Ge understood clearly that he had been trapped in the huge chessboard set up by the Tianming Sect. However, for the time being, he does not have the strength to fight against the behemoth Tianming Sect, and can only be careful not to be plotted against by this sect. The update of this list also made him give up the idea of going to Zhanzhou immediately to attend the event. Instead, he continued to lie dormant in Longyuan City, practicing silently and rapidly increasing his strength. As for the Zhanzhou event, he planned to send Li Chenxi and Dugu Mingxin to accompany the old hand Miao Daqi to help him collect suitable spiritual materials and inquire about the information of the magic weapon transaction. After everything was confirmed, he went there in a low-key manner and returned quickly. "Get up! Your anger has subsided a little. If I were to let you bear the brunt of the sins committed by your sect, it would seem that I am not generous enough!" At this moment, Chu Ge suddenly glanced sideways and said. "In the future, I will personally let those people in your sect, especially the saint girl who controls the destiny compass and makes random calculations every day, know how powerful I am!" Beneath the body, a smooth and beautiful curved shape was lying. Hearing this, Dugu Mingxin, who was busy serving, slowly stood up. A few beads of sweat had already appeared on his smooth forehead. He wiped the corner of his mouth, then wiped it for Chu Ge, and said pitifully. "Your Highness, Mingxin is useless. If you still have anger to vent, punish Mingxin!" “No time!” Chu Ge stood up and let Dugu Mingxin dress him. He said, "Next, you go out and run an errand for me. If you do it well, I will punish you. If you don't do it well, don't even think about getting punished." "Mingxin will do his best to complete the tasks assigned by Your Highness." Dugu Mingxin exhaled sweetly and immediately accepted the order respectfully. Chu Ge waved his hand, sent the girl away, walked out of the bedroom, and went to his poison-making greenhouse. During these seven days, he had accelerated the refining of the Snake Manor, and finally chose the other party's most precious spiritual skill "Ten Thousand Snakes Blood Poison Skill" to inherit and master. After inheriting this poison skill, his understanding of the way of poisons improved by leaps and bounds. By analogy, I have gained a new understanding of the poison arts in "Five Maoshan Miracles".
