Chapter 1106: Yuan Zheng's Strange Heart
Yuan Zheng, Zhan Long, Gu Lan, Hao Nan, Min Guangwen, Zhong Yuan, Fan Shu, and Yu Boan......
This is what some monks in the league jokingly call the "traitor gang".
With the current alliance shape, their situation can be described as extremely embarrassing, whether it is Li Jian and others, or Li Wan, the Immortal Palace, or all parties in the alliance, it is difficult to truly accommodate them.
What is especially fatal is that these people get together, and they do not have the elders and powerful masters like Yin Hao and others in the past, so they can't shelter them at all.
The alliance accepted them back to show mercy and charity, but this was for outsiders to see, and the private discrimination and differential treatment had long been overflowing.
It is impossible for them not to feel it.
"Fellow Daoists, at the moment, I believe everyone has already seen it, you can talk about it, what should it be?"
There was a hint of melancholy on Yuan's face, but his expression was extremely strict.
"Yuan Daoyou, our recent expenses have been too big, and the alliance has increased the levy and payment, and too much has fallen on us!" Zhong Yuan said bitterly.
"Hey, Zhong Daoyou, you still don't understand this? Li Wanzi, it is clear that he wants to rectify us, if we want to spend money to buy peace, it is possible to support it for a while, but if we are in arrears, we will find an excuse to make things difficult at any time, be strict, and even expel from the alliance. Zhan Long said.
"Expulsion from the Alliance? This is impossible, for ten thousand years, I have never heard of anyone being expelled from the Alliance, and besides, this is a punishment for betraying the alliance or other equally big mistakes, just a lack of tribute, why not?" Hao Nan exclaimed. He was once born as a casual cultivator, and he knew the hardships of wandering best, and he was also afraid of being expelled.
"Betraying the Alliance, Daoyou, you say this as if we haven't betrayed it...... What is the meaning of settling accounts after the autumn, don't you know?" Zhan Long sneered.
Hao Nan, who spoke, was suddenly speechless.
Everyone is a Dao realm cultivator who has lived for thousands of years, how can they think. That incident has passed, and if they really want to be investigated, they have all committed serious crimes, and without the protection of strong elders, it is inevitable that they will settle accounts after the autumn.
Their choice is to take refuge in Li Jian, Fang Ming and others, and they will not be unlucky immediately, but recently the wind has changed abruptly, and the shape of the contest between all parties is treacherous, and one is not good. My gang will be thrown out as outcasts and end up miserable!
Hao Nan has lived for so many years, and it is not that he has never seen this kind of thing.
"That'...... So what should I do?"
"Don't complain about it first, let's get down to business, in my humble opinion, we will definitely not survive this catastrophe on our own. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to scrape off a few layers of skin!" Zhan Long smiled bitterly and said, "The only way to do this is to do it now." We can only ask for help from the great power that is enough to protect us, and this great power, of course, is the first choice of Elder Fang!"
"That's right, Elder Fang. He should have sheltered us, but we have always done what he tells us to do!" Hao Nan said.
When everyone heard this, they also echoed it.
After Yin Hao's death. In the alliance, Fang Ming was sheltering them, and everyone's reaction at the moment was a matter of course, but since Yuan Zheng still had to ask how to be good, he vaguely had different thoughts in his heart.
He listened to everyone's statements, and couldn't help showing a strange look on his face, but he had reservations.
"Elder Fang, can Elder Fang really be able to shelter us?"
The events of that year, unconsciously, came back to mind again.
Back then, they were ordered to hunt down Yu Yangzi, enter an airspace, and engage Li Wan head-to-head, and Elder Fang was also present.
But that confrontation made him see a surprising reality, that is, even Elder Fang might not be able to shelter them.
Fang Ming is strong, has a monstrous authority, and has extremely deep qualifications and connections in the alliance, which is far from being comparable to new nether juniors like Li Wan.
However, the Yingxian Hall is under the jurisdiction of Li Wan!
He is not Fang Ming's cronies, so it is impossible for him to desperately protect him!
As we saw that day, once the two sides went head-to-head, they would immediately become outcasts, and there was no room for autonomy.
"We are Instrument Dao cultivators, how much help can we have for the great cause of Fang Ming Dao's competition? two percent, one percent, or half a point, or even less?"
You can't blame Yuan Zheng for thinking too much, it's really that they are in the alliance, they have neither identity nor status, and even the instrument attainments that they rely on are far inferior to Li Wan, Li Jian and others.
Except for those Dao realm masters in the Immortal Palace, their skills are almost at the bottom, which has already been proven in the past when Yin Hao and others were in charge of the Dao.
Even if Fang Ming needed the power of the Dao Dao, it had to be Li Wan, who could control Xiku, who was wealthy and powerful, or Li Jian, who could accept the commission, arm his subordinates, and establish contacts.
What can I give Fang Ming?
You can't, go into battle like a master of the Dharma Dao.
Yuan Zheng gave birth to a few more eyes, and immediately watched coldly, seeing that everyone pinned their hopes on Fang Ming, and then agreed to go to Fang Ming together to rescue.
Before that, they had to communicate with Li Jian first, so they quickly came out of the mansion where the secret meeting was going to Baozun Tower.
In the Baozun Building, Li Jian learned that they were coming, but he was embarrassed.
"Fellow Daoists, do you want to count the apportionment as the expenditure of the public funds of this building? I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"
"Please also ask Daoyou to be accommodating!" said Yuan Zheng and the others.
Of course, it is not in accordance with the rules, which is actually to let them pay for themselves, and it will cost them a lot more expenses.
Li Jian's face changed slightly, and he said: "For the sake of the old days, this building can bear part of it for you, but you have to solve it yourself." ”
When it comes to this, it's not easy to talk about it, and if you talk about it again, it will become a low-voice begging.
Yuan Zheng and the others had a fire in their stomachs, and went to see Fang Ming again.
When Fang Ming saw them, he was also very embarrassed.
If you don't help them, you will inevitably deviate from morality, and if you help them, you will lose a lot of property in vain.
Li Wan's additional levy this time is not a small amount, and it is foreseeable that in the future, the allowance will only continue to increase, and it will definitely not decrease lightly.
He is in the critical period of accumulating money and food and competing for the position of the town, with this money and treasure, it is better to recruit a few masters, what is the use of them?
If you change to a good player with outstanding strength, you can't say it, he gritted his teeth and gave it, and the master who reached the second-rate or more was even more happy to pay, and even took the initiative to pay for it.
But what is the use of these eight people? It's just eight outcasts!
Fang Ming's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he weighed them and a Dharma Dao master again and again, and came to the conclusion that these eight people were of little use.
However, he has mountains and rivers in his chest, and he will not show this disgust to his face, so he groaned for a while and said, "Okay, this time I will pay for you enough!"
This time, what is needed is just a batch of property, and it is nothing.
The key is that this time it is enough, it can stabilize them for decades and win the development opportunity of Baozun Building.
When it comes to the next time, it is the beginning of the next market meeting, but there is no need to be responsible for it to the end!
"Thank you, Elder Fang!" everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
I thought that it would be good for Fang Ming to agree to bear the part, but he didn't expect that Fang Ming was even more generous than he imagined, and he should bear all the expenses in one bite.
Only Yuan Zheng and Zhan Long had limited smiles, but they looked at each other intentionally or unintentionally with a little worry.
They could hear the mystery in Fang Ming's words.
And they were clear-minded, knowing that no matter how happy Fang Ming agreed, he couldn't change their situation.
A truly solid alliance relationship does not lie in commitment, but in the position of strength of both sides.
Coming back from Fang Ming, the two did not get together with him again, but tacitly went back together.
"Zhan Daoyou, in your opinion, does Elder Fang have the heart to take care of us?" Yuan Zheng said to Zhan Long with a little worry.
"Yuan Daoyou, why do you say this?" Zhan Long was shocked.
"Zhan Daoyou, we Mingren don't talk darkly, if there is anything, be open and honest, and it's good to discuss. Yuan Zheng saw that Zhan Long was still pretending to be at this time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When Zhan Long heard this, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's hard to say, Elder Fang's strength, how can you and I speculate lightly?"
Yuan Zheng heard it, but he was a little disapproving, he had been in the alliance for many years, and he knew a little bit about this Fang Ming, and knew what he valued.
"I have a method, maybe I can try out Elder Fang's mind, but once I use it, it will be difficult to retreat. Yuan Zheng said suddenly.
Zhan Long didn't know why Yuan Zheng wanted to say this to himself, but when he saw Yuan Zheng's face showing solemnity, he passed on the sound and said it in his ear.
"This matter still needs to rely on the cooperation of Daoyou, and when the time comes, Daoyou will also advance and retreat with me!" Yuan Zheng finished speaking, then looked at Zhan Long and said solemnly.
"I swear by the heart of the Tao, according to what the Taoist friends say. Zhan Long was surprised at first, then became solemn, gradually turned into hesitation, and finally, he abandoned all hesitation and said in a condensed voice.
Yuan Zheng showed a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
The two of them parted and went home without mentioning it.
Fang Ming really didn't break his promise, and after everyone went to him to complain about his grievances, he quickly transferred treasures from his own private pockets and the public funds of the Takixian Palace, and paid the full amount.
All the apportionments of Yuan Zheng and others have been completed, and they are still the first batch of people who have completed them in full.
On this day, Li Wan saw the note presented by the deacon in the hall on the desk of the Yingxian Palace, and he was also a little unexpected.
"This Fang Ming is really generous!"
Shortly after he had such thoughts, a deacon of the temple quietly entered and whispered an announcement.
This is his cronie deacon in the Immortal Palace, and over the years, it has been difficult for him to subdue the people who are also Dao realm monks, but these deacons, big and small, are obedient.
They help to control the tedious chores, and they also act as the eyes and ears of Yanshan.
This time, the deacon brought an update.
After Li Wan heard this, her face first changed slightly, and then a somewhat strange smile appeared.
"God help me. (To be continued......)
