Although Zhongshan is not such a majestic peak, it is better than handsome.

As a famous mountain in the south, this mountain undoubtedly represents the first of many famous mountains in Wu for Wu State.

On the top of the mountain, the famous 'Yuanling Academy' gathers many elite talents in the entire Wu Kingdom. It is said that half of the cabinet ministers since the founding of the state of Wu have all come from this academy, or have a background relationship with this academy in one way or another.

It can also be said that the political trend of 'Yuanling Academy' is the barometer of the politics of the entire Wu State, and even the emperor of the Wu State cannot interfere here.

And the places that can make it difficult for the emperors of a country to control, and even the forces that can be politically subjugated, I am afraid that only people with a background in the cultivation realm can do it.

In fact, including the economy, trade, and politics of the entire Wu State, it has been controlled by the Yuanling Business Alliance since thousands of years ago.

Although it cannot be said to be completely controlled, it at least occupies more than 50% of the control.

Therefore, although the cultivation of the white old ghost is not the highest in the territory of Wu State, he is definitely the most well-known monk.

At this moment, this 'Emperor Taishang', who actually controls the state of Wu, is sitting in his bamboo garden, holding a small three-inch-long razor, and is cutting bamboo.

There were some trivial hemp ropes at his feet, and it seemed as if he was about to weave some more bamboo slips.

Everyone in Yuanling Academy knows that this white-haired old man, who is as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, is very fond of bamboo slips. He doesn't like to use paper or brocade silk to describe words, and he especially likes to use this kind of retro bamboo slips.

Up and down, many scholars in Yuanling Academy have also begun to use antique bamboo slips, and it has gradually become a habit.

The cost of a college for bamboo slips is still huge. Therefore, as soon as the white old ghost has leisure time, he carries a bamboo stool and sits in the bamboo garden to work.

It doesn't look like a Jindan period ancestor who shocked the Wu Kingdom, but like a skilled bamboo craftsman.

Not far behind him, two monks stood. One was dressed in a purple robe, with a majestic physique and a majestic complexion. The other was dressed in a white robe, middle-aged, and his face was gloomy.

It seems that these two people have been here for a while, but they are all standing quietly in the bamboo garden, without saying a word.

The glow of the evening was like blood, penetrating the mottled bamboo leaves, and scattered them on the two people, which inexplicably produced a kind of murderous atmosphere.

The old white ghost was working, burying his head in the bamboo slips, and did not turn back to say anything to the two of them.

But these two people knew the temper and personality of the old white ghost, so they all stood with their hands tied and didn't speak.

Time passed slowly, and after a short time, the old white ghost skillfully made all the dried bamboo at hand into rolls of bamboo slips.

The old white ghost reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then stroked these bamboo slips one by one with his dry hands, as if caressing the girl's immature skin, and his thin face showed a trace of satisfaction.

Then, he turned around and looked at the purple-robed strong man and the white-robed middle-aged man.

"Lei Jun, Jia Yu, do you two know why the old man asked you to come here?"

The first sentence that the old white ghost said was like this. And, as he spoke, he looked at the faces of the two men, as if to see how they reacted to his every word.

The purple-robed strong man's name is Lei Jun, his physique is very strong, his wheat-colored skin, and he looks like a sturdy brown bear from a distance.

After hearing this, he said in a deep voice: "The White Helmsman urgently sent someone to call me and the two of us to come here, and there must be a send. As for what the white helmsman asked just now, Lei was not clear. ”

Jia Yu, who was dressed in a white robe and had a gloomy face, showed a peculiar smile when he heard this.

Compared to Lei Jun, he obviously had insight into something, so he said directly: "The White Helm Lord asked the two of us to come, isn't it because of the Gathering Star Business Alliance?"

The old white ghost nodded, and Fu shook his head again.

"Yes, but not all. ”

When Jia Yu and Lei Jun heard this, they glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.

The old white ghost didn't seem to be ready to hear what the two of them could say, but after a little silence, he said directly: "I called you here today for the sake of Mei Xuesheng and Li Sen. ”

Hearing the word Li Sen, the purple-robed strong man Lei Jun's face was immediately a little displeased, and he seemed to be a little disgusted by this name.

And Jia Yu, a middle-aged man in a white robe, snorted lightly: "Li Sen? Isn't he holding his tail between his tails in that high tower by the sea, and he can't get out of retreat? I haven't heard any movement from him for more than half a year, so what has happened to him again?"

The old white ghost sighed, got up from the bamboo bench, and slowly wandered in the bamboo forest.

"What's more, it's just that something has happened, it's just going to make waves in the territory of Wu Kingdom! This kid got a Sea Clan trading order from Mei Xuesheng, and he is going to participate in the Sea Clan Festival!"

"What!?"

As soon as these words came out, Lei Jun and Jia Yu were both taken aback, and their faces showed surprise.

The old white ghost looked up at the seemingly bloody sunset, and said with a somewhat unhealed expression: "Mei Xuesheng, that guy, failed to grab the transaction order from the Nie family monk, and the old man originally thought that he would die." But he didn't expect that at the cost of studying the 'Heavenly Book Formation' for decades, he would exchange a Sea Clan trading order from the Baishi Old Dao of the 'Bagua Sect'! And what the old man didn't expect was that he didn't entrust the group of foundation building period monks under his command to participate in the Sea Clan Grand Event, and even asked the doll named Li Sen in Cai County to participate for him!"

"Hmph! Li Sen is just a cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, although he has a little bit of strength, but how can he compare with the elite foundation building period monks of various sects and factions who participated in the grand event of the Sea Clan? In my opinion, if this kid doesn't go, if he goes, it's a question of whether he can even come back alive. Lei Jun snorted, hugging his shoulders with a hint of disdain.

He had fought with Li Sen once before, and although he felt that Li Sen still had some strength, there was still a little gap compared to a late-stage foundation building monk like him.

Compared with the arrogant Lei Jun, Jia Yu was obviously much more cautious, and he saw more and deeper problems than Lei Jun.

"Why did Mei Xuesheng choose Li Sen? Could it be that Zhongyitang has already colluded with the Gathering Star Business Alliance?"

"That's a good question!"

As soon as the old white ghost heard this question, he immediately praised it, and then looked at Jia Yu tightly with a pair of old eyes, and his thin old face showed a hint of inquiry: "Do you think that Mei Xuesheng will really collude with the Gathering Star Merchant Alliance, snakes and rats in the same nest? You must know that Mei Xuesheng has been operating in the territory of Wu for many years, and his power cannot be underestimated, and in some respects it is even enough to compete with our Yuanling Business Alliance! If he hooks up with the Gathering Star Merchant Alliance, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to our Yuanling Business Alliance." ”

"Probably not. ”

Jia Yu thought for a while: "First, Li Sen is just a small character in the Star Gathering Business Alliance. Mei Xuesheng wants to use this person to connect with the Gathering Star Business Alliance, how easy is it? To put it simply, Li Sen is not qualified enough. ”

The old white ghost nodded, and then the old man said with a hint of approval on his face: "What about the second?"

"Second, the cultivation realm has always been about the supremacy of interests. Mei Xuesheng chose Li Sen to replace him to participate in the Sea Clan Festival, and he must have had his considerations. ”

Jia Yu said as he stretched out three fingers and put on a staff posture.

"First of all, although Mei Xuesheng's power is not weak, not all of his people are his cronies. Most of them were drawn into the alliance of the Zhongyi Hall by him, and although they were nominally under his jurisdiction, they were actually not subject to his actual control. Therefore, although there are some capable people under him, they can't really trust them. ”

"Secondly, Li Sen has been suppressed for a long time by me and other people from the Yuanling Business Alliance, this person led two foundation building period monks, and tossed around in every way in the territory of Wu State, and it was just to set up a star gathering branch pavilion in the extremely barren Cai County. Objectively speaking, this person should be afraid and hated by our Yuanling Business Alliance. Now that Mei Xuesheng has shown a look of wooing him, this person must have readily agreed. Because this is like hugging a thigh, even if we want to fight a dog in the future, I'm afraid we will have to look at Mei Xuesheng's face before we can act. For Mei Xuesheng, accepting such a 'dog' who runs to hug his thighs must be more useful than those unrestrained 'Ma Boss' and the like. ”

When the old white ghost heard this, a hint of approval appeared on his face: "Go on." ”

Jia Yu showed a hint of smugness on his face, the gloomy color on his face disappeared slightly, and his chin was slightly provoked and said, "Finally, the most critical point. That's Li Sen, after all, he is a member of the Star Gathering Business Alliance. It is said that a few months ago, those old immortals at the headquarters of the Gathering Star Business Alliance were given the position of 'Governor of Wu State' in name only. So. As a 'governor' of the Gathering Star Merchant Alliance, the monks of ordinary forces must not have the courage to attack him, because once they do it to him, it will be tantamount to offending the entire Gathering Star Merchant Alliance. Therefore, even if he only had the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, then when he participated in the 'Sea Clan Grand Event', he was far safer than ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building. ”

"Good!"

When the old white ghost heard this, the look of approval on the thin old man's face was undisguised, and he saw the old white ghost say with emotion: "At the beginning, after the old man heard the news that Mei Xuesheng was going to join forces with Li Sen, he was also deeply touched in his heart, and he couldn't even figure out the joints in it. Listening to your words at this moment, the old man's heart is much brighter and cleaner. Jia Yu, Jia Yu, you really deserve to be the first wise general under the old man!"

"The white helmsman praised it falsely, and his subordinates didn't dare to be ashamed. Jia Yu arched his hand, and his mouth was humble. But there was obviously a hint of smugness on his face.

"Haha, the White Helmsman is not wrong. Lei actually admired Jia Daoyou's resourcefulness very much, when he acted with him in the past, he was basically the mastermind, and the actions planned by him rarely failed!" Lei Jun also glanced at Jia Yu and smiled.

"Very good!"

The old white ghost slapped his palm, and then the old man said with a look of satisfaction on his face: "In this case, the old man also happens to have a task to hand over to you." I hope you two can work together to complete it together. If things are harmonious, the old man will definitely have a very heavy reward at that time!"

"What's the matter?" Lei Jun and Jia Yu both looked at the old white ghost with solemn expressions.

"Kill Li Sen!"

The white old ghost's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced in a certain direction at the foot of the mountain, and his eyes unabashedly revealed a killing intent.

When Jia Yu and Lei Jun heard this, their expressions suddenly froze, but soon, their faces showed excitement.

It seems that the two of them have been waiting for this task for a long time, and they can't wait!

The old white ghost snorted coldly and said, "Just now, a spy came to report that Mei Xuesheng actually openly bought wine and candied for Li Sen at the foot of our Zhongshan Mountain! This old fox thinks that with this hand, he can warn the old man from the side, so that the old man can't help but not do anything to Li Sen? He is very wrong!"

"The old man actually never cared about him Mei Xuesheng! The only thing the old man cared about was the Gathering Star Business Alliance! You must know that the only one who can really shake our foundation and pose a huge challenge to us in the entire territory of Wu is the Gathering Star Business Alliance! We must do our best to prevent the 'Gathering Star Business Alliance' from mixing with Mei Xuesheng's 'Zhongyi Hall'! I didn't kill Li Sen before, I only felt that although Li Sen had some strength and also opened a Gathering Star Pavilion in Cai County, on the whole, it still didn't hurt the overall situation. I can't do it for him alone, and it will make our entire Wu country jump. But now, the old man feels more and more that keeping Li Sen is a huge scourge for us!"

"Why did the White Helmsman say this? A mere foundation building early stage cultivator is not something that can be destroyed for the Helmsman Master?" Jia Yu looked at the White Helmsman with a hint of puzzlement on his face.

"It can be destroyed now, but it may not be in the future. ”

The old white ghost snorted again, and then said in a rather cold voice: "The spies came to report that after Li Sen retreated for a year, his cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building! Therefore, he is no longer a monk in the early stage of foundation building. Even the old man heard some rumors that Li Sen was only less than two years away from breaking through the foundation building period!"

"This ...... How is this possible?"

When Jia Yu and Lei Jun heard this, their faces showed disbelief and shock.

Lei Jun was even more indescribably surprised: "Could it be that this son is still the rumored genius of the Nine Spirit Veins!?"
