On the fifth day of the seventh month of the 2337th year of the Eastern Diary, the beginning of night

If you want to talk about the reception specifications of the Southern Alliance for the Eight Islands Ancestors, there is nothing to say. For example, today the front mountain area of ​​Zhufeng is dedicated to the alliance's official business, the middle area is dedicated to the Yuding Zhenjun, and the back mountain is the living place for everyone in the Southern Alliance. At the beginning, I really couldn't find a place to accommodate eight people.

Later, Li Qingxiao took the initiative to give up his side hall residence exclusively in the leader of the Qianshan District, which could be regarded as a side-sided expression of his alliance leader's importance to the eight people. Of course, whether the eight people appreciated it or not is another matter.

At this moment, eight people sat around in the side hall. Yao Guang and Tan Yumeng, the leaders, were obviously angry, while the other six people had some inexplicable expressions on their faces.

"Dear brothers, have you really changed your mind?"

Yao Guang almost asked this sentence angrily at this moment. He had originally agreed to refuse before Donglin Island, but he didn't expect that in just four days, the other six islands had already begun to change their minds.

"Brother Yao, we are not saying that we are going to join the Southern Alliance, but that Li Qingxiao's words that day did make sense, isn't it right?" Kong? The real person of Yulong, the island, didn't say anything else, and answered guiltily.

Yumeng Zhenren immediately turned his head, stared at Wei Yulong, and sneered: "Brother Wei was taken to the futures market by Li Qinghan for the past three or four days. He was so dazzling. It was the time when the battle was hot. Maybe he had made some agreements. How could he still remember the promise made by Yashima before!"

"Tan Yumeng, don't be slandering. I just went to see the futures center at the invitation of Elder Qinghan the day before yesterday. I have never met Li Qingxiao and have never reached any agreement."

Seeing Wei Yulong's appearance as he was stepped on his tail and the expression of no reaction from the rest of the people below, Yao Guang's face suddenly darkened and he felt something was wrong.

After the first round of the meeting on July 1st, Li Qingxiao, the leader of the alliance, never looked for eight of them again. Instead, he looked for them one by one. He obviously planned to win over and divide them alone. Even Yao Guang himself was invited, of course, but was rejected by the vigilant Yao Guang. When he saw the reactions of these people, Yao Guang still didn't understand, but was afraid that everyone had been found.

Yao Guang did not doubt whether these people had reached any agreement with Li Qingxiao in private, but the problem was that he didn't doubt it was useless. Will Tan Yumeng and others think like him?

Everyone was found alone, and their reasons were clear, either they would take a tour of the Annan Army under construction by the Southern Confederate, or they would visit the Donglin Futures Trading Market, or even visit the Yuding Zhenjun...

Seeing that Tan Yumeng had already had an argument with everyone, Yao Guang suddenly woke up and a bitter smile appeared on his face. Li Qingxiao, this little fox, is so poisonous!

The Southern Alliance had nothing to do at all. As long as they searched them one by one, a seed of mutual doubt had been planted among them. He had been alert for so long that he had only reacted now.

"Okay, don't make any more noise!"

Yao Guang stood up directly from the chair, slapped the table, and instantly interrupted everyone who was arguing. Everyone turned their heads and looked at him.

"Don't you see it yet! The Southern Alliance deliberately talks to you alone so that we can get lost. You are also over 400 people, and you have not discovered it yet by Li Qingxiao."

Yao Guang believed that as long as he spoke Li Qingxiao's thoughts, everyone would wake up, but he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, except for Tan Yumeng, the faces of the other six people did not change at all.

"Brother Yao, you don't think we didn't see this little trick, do you?"

After Wei Yulong whispered, Song Wentian, the ancestor of the Song family of Moyang Island, spoke quietly: "Brother Yao, let's put ourselves aside first. Do you think what Li Qingxiao said that day is unreasonable?"

"After the chaos in the East Jihai, we just joined the Luo family or the Tongtian Immortal Sect, and we would inevitably charge for them and fight to death. Not only did we not get any benefits, we would have to gain a reputation for being protected by them. As we came, we would have to pay a spiritual stone to Shangsanshima every year. Not only did we get the bird's energy, but we also had to spend money to bear it. I think it was very appropriate to be a dog or a human being in the Qingxiao League leader that day!"

"On the contrary, if we invest in the Southern Alliance, we can not only rely on the alliance's finance to support a large number of cultivators, but also divide a large number of spiritual stones from the alliance every year. According to my observation, whether it is the Li family of Jingyuan Island, or the development of Ouyang and Zijian Pavilion over the years, it can also show the high strategic methods of the leader of Qingxiao..."

"That's right, I also followed Li Qingming to visit Donglin Futures Center. Now the daily commission is a commission of handling fees, which is as high as more than a thousand top-quality spirit stones. Do you know what this concept is?"

"There is more than 1,000 yuan a day, and the commission per year is nearly 400,000 yuan in the best spirit stone. Just giving us this spirit stone is an amazing profit, let alone other things!"

……………………

Yang Yun, Song Wentian, Han Liyu, Ye Kongxuan, and Lu Zhao all continued to say Wei Yulong's words. Tan Yumeng's face suddenly turned pale, and Yao Guang next to her also looked extremely ugly.

In fact, the least of the eight islands is Tan Yumeng and Yao Guang, who want to see the expansion of the Southern Alliance, is Tan Yumeng and Yao Guang. Although there is no clear agreement or alliance between the eight islands, it is still obvious that the Yao family of Frost Blade Island and the Yuchan Sect of Linglushima are slightly higher than the other six islands. They can also gain certain benefits from this position that is superior to other islands.

Once the Southern Union expands successfully, they will lose their special status among the Eight Islands. This is the most important reason why the two are so keen to contact the other six islands and resist the Southern Union's expansion this time.

The words of the six people were still echoing in their ears, and Yao Guang suddenly realized that these were all extremely smart old foxes. It was impossible to tell that Li Qingxiao's intention was to make the eight of them fight in an internal conflict. The fundamental reason why they did not refuse was that Li Qingxiao's words that day really made them moved.

Yao Guang's thoughts were flying, and Liudao's intention to join the Southern Alliance was already very obvious. Now if he continues to sing opposites with Tan Yumeng, it can only make the two islands of Frost Blade and Linglu gradually move away from the other six islands, which is not the result he wants.

"The six Taoist brothers have this idea, and the eight islands are in harmony with each other. My Frost Blade Island and Linglu Island naturally follow your opinions. I just don't know if you want to test the bottom line of the Southern Alliance?"

This sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest. Wei Yulong's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother Yao means that Li Qingxiao is willing to pay in order to win us over to join the Southern Alliance, right?"

Seeing Yao Guang nodding, the other six people suddenly looked lit up. They were moved by Li Qingxiao's words, but why not do it if they could get greater benefits!

The eight people continued to discuss in the side hall for a long time before they finally dispersed and returned to their residences.

……………………

On the tenth day of July 2337, the Tianzhu Peak Southern Alliance Hall, early morning

As soon as Yao Guang and the other eight came in, they saw Li Qingxiao sitting alone in their heads, with a faint smile on their faces, holding a wine glass in their hands to signal to him and others. Compared to the last meeting, looking at Li Qingxiao again today, especially the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the vigilance in the eight people became stronger and stronger.

This Li Qingxiao is not only very talented in cultivation, but also has great wisdom, far-reaching scheming, and unpredictable cunning. Even the old men who have lived for more than 400 years, they dare not underestimate them at all.

There were still the familiar eleven tables in front of him. Yao Guang continued to return to his previous position like everyone else. However, when he was passing through the unreached seats in the Three Islands, he suddenly discovered that the seat symbols that were locked on the table that day, belonging to Yaoxue Island were gone...

"I wonder what the eight seniors have been thinking about these ten days?"

As soon as Yao Guang sat down, Li Qingxiao's voice came from above. Seeing that the other seven people had already sat down, Yao Guang didn't have time to think about the talismans, but raised his head and smiled, looking directly at Li Qingxiao and said, "After discussing what the leader of Qingxiao said before, I actually agree with you in my heart. Cooperating with the Upper Sandao is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. In comparison, the respect that the Southern Alliance can give me is indeed something they can't give!"

Li Qingming and others standing in the hall suddenly lit up when they heard this, and even Li Qingxiao's face showed some excitement, saying, "So, seniors, you have figured it out and are you going to join the Southern Alliance?"

Yao Guang nodded first, but after a while, he shook his head and said, "If the leader is sincere enough, we do have this intention!"

Sincerity is enough?

Hearing this, Li Qingxiao's excitement suddenly restrained a little, then frowned slightly, staring at Yao Guang and said, "When Qingxiao discussed with you last time, I have already explained all the conditions for joining the Southern Alliance. Could it be that Qingxiao wants to say it again..."

Before Li Qingxiao finished speaking, he saw that the eight people's faces were exactly the same. He looked at his eyes and nose as if he hadn't heard his words. He immediately understood that he felt that the conditions he gave were not enough, or in other words, they all thought they were begging them to join, so he was... raising the price!

After reacting, a hint of anger suddenly appeared on the faces of Li Qingming and others. Li Qingxiao, including Li Qingxiao, stared at the eight people in front of him, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

Li Qingxiao closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"The annual revenue of the Southern Alliance, excluding the alliance's consumption, is all equally divided.

The seats of Cabinet elders have been increased from the current four to twelve, and each of your eight families can have one person as a Cabinet elder.

The training and support of the soldiers of the Annan Army and the internal personnel of the alliance are also funded by the alliance. As long as the children of each family meet the standards, they can join the Annan Army and ensure that each family has children to serve as military positions.

After joining the Southern Alliance, except for the monks on the island, the Southern Alliance will not interfere in any of your own industries and various businesses, except for the monks on the island. You will decide on it yourself!

Qingxiao believes that these conditions are already the greatest sincerity. Have you really considered it clearly? I think the current sincerity is not enough?"

Li Qingxiao's voice was already a little low, and there was a hint of obvious anger in his tone. However, the eight people under the hall still had the same expression, as if they had not heard his words. Seeing this, Li Qingxiao took a deep breath, and then spoke with a hint of dullness in his tone, and asked: "I don't know what sincerity you want, can you tell me in detail!"

Hearing this sentence, the eight people seemed to be in a sudden state of mind, and the other seven people all turned their eyes to Yao Guang. Yao Guang also understood it and stood up and spoke gently.

"Since the leader of Qingxiao has spoken, I will be shameless and represent the seven Taoist brothers. Let me mention the conditions of our eight islands!

First: The Li family, the leader of the Qingxiao Alliance, now owns Jingyuan Island, known as the Lingji Grain Store in Dongji Sea, and the reputation of spiritual wine in Fulong Valley of Jingyuan Island has long been spread throughout the sea area. I have long heard that the production of Lingji Lingji under the Li family is countless. The Lingji alone is only lower than that of the Nongshen Sect on Hongye Island. Therefore, after we joined the Southern Alliance, we hope to go to the Li family of Jingyuan Island to purchase Lingji and Lingji every year with half price.

Second: After the Annan Army was formed, it was the armed forces of our Southern Alliance, and the members will be mainly the children of our eight islands in the future. Therefore, our eight families must occupy a part of the command authority. Our suggestion is that after the leader passed down the Five Elements God and Evil Achievement, the eight families will form the Annan Army on their own based on each island.

Third: We have long heard that the Annan Army under the Southern Alliance was only established, but the Ding Navy has been formed for a long time, but the leader of the alliance only selected soldiers from the three major Jindan forces in the South. This is unfair to us. Therefore, after joining the Southern Alliance, our eight families must also have children with a certain quota to enter the Ding Navy!

With these three conditions, if the leader can agree, we can join the Southern Alliance today and participate in the grand event. How about it?"

…………

Zuo Lingjue, Ouyang Mingding, Li Qingming, Li Qingkang, Li Qinghan and Zhang Yu were standing behind Li Qingxiao at this moment. After hearing Yao Guang's words, they all showed a look of looking at a fool.

Li Qinghan is responsible for managing the family's spiritual rice and spiritual wine business. He knows the importance of this thing to the family. He doesn't need to count how much damage the family can suffer from the acquisition at half price. He probably knows it almost immediately. He realizes that the second brother cannot agree to this condition.

As for Zuo Lingjue, Ouyang Mingding and others, when they heard that Yao Guang wanted to interfere in the command of the Annan Army and the personnel structure of the Dinghai Army, they all shook their heads and turned their eyes to Li Qingxiao in the front.

At this moment, the eight people below, including Yao Guang, also focused their attention on Li Qingxiao, wanting to see his reaction.

However, there was no fluctuation on Li Qingxiao's face for a long time, and there was no emotion. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Yao Guang for a long time before he smiled and asked, "It seems that Senior Xingchen is well versed in negotiations. He deliberately put forward such harsh conditions. He knows that this leader cannot agree. Senior probably wants this leader to bargain with you and then throw out the real bottom line, right?"

With this sentence, Yao Guang and the other seven people below changed their expressions. The eyes that were originally staring at Li Qingxiao, and there was a hint of shock in an instant, because this sentence happened to be the negotiation strategy they discussed in the side hall five days ago.

This Li Qingxiao has really become a spirit, can you even see this?

Yao Guang calmed down his shocked mood a little, pretending to be calm, and his face was as usual: "The leader of the alliance is as wise as a torch, so I will not hide it. If the leader of the alliance really wants us to join the Southern Alliance, then..."

"Senior Xingchen, don't be impatient!"

Before Yao Guang could express his real conditions, Li Qingxiao interrupted him with one sentence. The eight people below were still stunned. Li Qingxiao suddenly nodded at a golden armored soldier at the door.

The soldier immediately walked in. With the eyes of the eight people, he walked to the middle of the three vacant seats, grabbed the talisman with the words "Chaoxia Island" engraved, and grabbed it and put it on the table, then turned around and went out without any delay.

While the eight people were still stunned when they watched this scene, Li Qingxiao sounded from the hall with a hint of mocking and low voice. The eight people's expressions changed drastically.

"It seems that you all think that the leader of the alliance is asking you to join the Southern Alliance to dare to be so bold. Fortunately, you are a very old person. You can't see the situation clearly. Do you think I have time to bargain with you here?"

Not only Yao Guang, but also a hint of anger appeared in the eyes of the other seven people. Li Qingxiao is a rising star and his light is much better than them. They have never doubted this, but if this alone can humiliate them like this, it would be too arrogant.

After all, they are still ancestors of the Eight Islands in the South. Li Qingxiao is the leader of the Southern Alliance who now has six islands. It is enough for him to have a good time to compete with the eight of them.

Yao Guang even thought about how to speak out and ridicule Li Qingxiao.

But before he could speak, Li Qinghan walked to Li Qingxiao and spoke with a hint of excitement on his face.

"The fourth brother has received the news and is taking action!"

A faint look flashed in Li Qingxiao's eyes, he ignored the anger in the eyes of the eight people below, took out a jade slip from his hand and crushed it directly on the upper head.

A strong breath of water magic power suddenly dispersed in the hall, and a blue water curtain gradually formed in the air. This jade slip was deliberately left by Li Qingjie in Li Qingxiao's hands, with a trace of his soul breath on it.

The eight people below who were just angry, stared at the blue water curtain and their bodies trembled, their eyes full of fear.

The eight people turned their heads together and looked at the Chaoxia Island talisman that had just been slapped on the table, with a look of panic on their faces.
Chapter completed!
