Chapter 780 Bronze Token
"Uncle Wang, Ning Daoyou, thank you for your hard work."
After dealing with the Ai family, Chu Chen called the two of them to the side hall to rest and discuss matters, and bowed to each other.
Ning Daoist was surprised. He couldn't believe what Wang Xi said just now, but he was even more surprised when he heard that Chu Chen actually called him "Uncle Wang".
He is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, a young hero.
"No hard work, no hard work."
Wang Xi and Ning Daoist smiled and waved their hands, the smiles on their faces were embarrassing.
From the heart, if they stood in the perspective of the Celestial Court, they recognized and praised Chu Chen's series of disposals just now. For the two of them, it was a bit of a slap in the face.
Was slapped in the face in front of the Green Snake Witch King, lost faith in front of the Ai family, lost face greatly, and lost the prestige as the local leader.
Seeing that the two of them smiled reluctantly, Chu Chen could vaguely guess what the other was thinking.
They also belong to the Celestial Dynasty, but each of them has different interest considerations, and the choices they make are also based on their own decisions.
No one is wise in the decision-making between him and the two of them. They are just looking for the most appropriate and most in line with their own interests from the perspective of their respective strengths and status.
It's not that Wang Xi and Ning Daoist don't know that the most appropriate way is to take the Celestial Dynasty out of the vortex, but as a prefect, governor, and fifth-rank Taoist monk, if they don't talk about the Celestial Dynasty in front of the Green Snake Witch King As a tiger skin, people don't take you seriously at all, and the two of them have no ability to resist the supernatural powers with their own abilities.
The most deadly thing is that the two of them happened to come to Aijiabao to discuss naturalization matters, and they were already on a pirate ship and could not escape.
No matter what, they must keep Aijiabao. Otherwise, if it spreads afterwards, it will damage the national prestige and make the minds of the Sanxiu families who want to naturalize in the southwestern eight states fluctuate, triggering subsequent chain reactions and causing big troubles.
Therefore, Wang Xi and Ning Dao had no way out, they could only bite Ai's family to death and surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty.
However, Chu Chen couldn't do this.
As a monk with great supernatural powers, an alternate elder of the Central Presbyterian Court, and a high-level executive in Yunzhou Xianting, his words represent the decision-making of Xianting to a certain extent, and his influence is not comparable to that of Wang Xi and Ning. He can take it back, but his words cannot be taken back.
His decision-making must proceed from the overall situation, and the general direction cannot be wrong.
It is true that the Ai family has not really naturalized to the Celestial Dynasty, so it is not easy for him to act on behalf of the Celestial Court.
Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't need to pull the tiger skin of the Celestial Dynasty to force the Green Snake Witch King back. He can keep his family castle by relying on his own Taoism and supernatural powers, and by the way, he can coerce (threat) the Ai family to completely surrender to the Celestial Dynasty.
Chu Chen has just taken office, and he will have to work with Wang Xi and Ning in the future. After thinking about it, he immediately said:
"Uncle Wang, friend Ning Dao, Pindao puts the overall situation first. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
The two of them started from the overall situation. In fact, they recognized, understood, and even praised Chu Chen's actions deep in their hearts.
"Chu is guarding and planning strategies, there is nothing wrong with it."
"That's right, we will obey Chu's orders!"
The two of them did not address "senior" nor "Deputy Chu Guan", but "Chu Zhenshou", indicating that they recognized Chu Chen's status and obeyed his decision-making.
Chu Chen smiled, very satisfied, and immediately asked the two to work hard to accept the matters related to the Ai family.
The Ai family has tens of thousands of people, many practitioners, and their identities are sensitive. Yuqin County may not be able to accommodate them. They have to coordinate with Yuxi County and Qingshi County to jointly undertake the immigration. The matter is quite cumbersome.
The mass migration of tens of thousands of ethnic groups cannot be done immediately, and the Ai family still needs to clean up, which is not a matter of a day or two.
So, Chu Chen simply sat in Aijiabao to protect them.
Although the Green Snake Witch King has temporarily retreated, it does not mean that the matter is over, on the contrary, the matter has just begun.
A monk with great supernatural powers is not a small townsman who has no power to restrain a chicken and has no choice but to swallow his anger. He will not give up easily.
In fact, Chu Chen was already ready for a battle with the Green Snake Witch King, but the opponent left after only a small confrontation.
Chu Chen didn't dare to be careless, and was quite wary in his heart.
Cultivators who are able to rank among the supernatural powers are all self-confident and even conceited. It is impossible for him to give up willingly just because he is a junior who has just entered the fourth rank and has no name.
Chu Chen felt that the Green Snake Witch King was also very happy to put the grievances with the Ai family on personal grievances, and not spread to the level of the Celestial Dynasty and Ten Thousand Poisons and Wild Valley.
This proposal hit his fancy, so he didn't refute Chu Chen's "reasoning" much, and the "anger" on the scene was just throwing smoke at random.
After all, the Dachang Celestial Dynasty is the most powerful force in the world, and the Green Snake Witch King is more afraid of the Celestial Dynasty than Chu Chen.
Chu Chen's proposal drew a clear line of conflict, so there is no need to worry about Xianting taking actions one after another. For the Green Snake Witch King, although it is not the best result, it is also a result that suits his wishes.
It can be said that the brief confrontation between Chu Chen and the Green Snake Witch King has each gained something, and both have stepped down.
The only one who was injured was probably the Ai family.
Originally, the Ai family just cast a wink at the Celestial Dynasty, thinking that in the future they would have to go on blind dates, communicate, hire three matchmakers, ask for sky-high gifts, etc. The Ai family wanted to rely on naturalization to avoid disasters, not to mention I want to ask for benefits and get preferential treatment from it.
However, Chu Chen was not used to them, and he took Tian Chao out of this matter and acted in a private capacity. This move was like a sword on their necks. Their only way out now depends on Chu Chen, completely joining Tian Chao, and integrating into all parts of Yunzhou. In Dazhou County, only one's life can be saved.
This is equivalent to Chu Chen who participated in the blind date being very rude. Seeing that she is a woman and can be married, he didn’t even think about it. He raised his hand like a brick and called it on Ai’s head.
Well, it looks like an old Lingshan!
"Senior brother, there is a faint aura of calamity in the sky above Aijiabao, and the Green Snake Witch King didn't let it go."
While thinking about it, a little ghost flew out of the pure yin gourd and reminded in a low voice.
Chu Chen was not surprised to hear the little ghost boy's reminder, and it was not surprising that what should happen.
He is very concerned about the little devil.
Looking down, the little devil's complexion was ruddy. It didn't have the look of the previous two days, but it still had a little aggrieved expression, as if someone owed it money.
"Little ghost, are you not angry with senior brother?"
"huh~"
Hearing the words, the little ghost put his hands on his chest, snorted coldly, and stopped talking to his senior brother.
Chu Chen smiled slightly, because he didn't save it from the master, the little guy even complained to him, and he was not very willing to talk to him recently.
However, the little ghost is still sensible, and he didn't play petty temper. At the critical moment, the little ghost was still so reliable, and warned him of the disaster in time, allowing him to easily accept the sinister move of the Li Qingsnake Witch King, and made a great contribution.
"Senior brother has already reminded you, don't give the high-level Taoist robe to master. You just didn't listen, but you blamed senior brother instead. I don't know what to do."
Little Guizi was at a loss for words and wanted to say something, but he thought he couldn't speak to his brother, so he remained silent.
Chu Chen smiled, and casually took out two sticks of spiritual incense from the bracelet fairy mansion, and handed them over:
"Here, this month's extra spiritual incense."
The little ghost boy's eyes lit up when he saw Lingxiang, but this time he was very sad and very strong, so he glanced at it and reluctantly walked away.
Chu Chen remained silent, and took out two more incense sticks:
"Two more, don't pull it down!"
"brush!"
In a blink of an eye, the four incense sticks in his hand disappeared, and then appeared in the hands of the grinning little ghost with smiling eyes.
"Hey hey hey, brother is the best."
Little Guizi holds the spirit incense, with no resentment in his heart:
"Brother, I will still cover you from now on. If the Green Snake Witch King dares to harm you, I will record him in Xiaobo, hehehe, the power is not enough now, wait for me to put the [Calamity God Bo] [Calamity Pen] Sacrificial refining, so that he can't eat his bag and walk away."
"Hahaha~ Thank you, the Fairy Boy of True Luck, for protecting the poor."
Chu Chen joked with a smile.
Since the little ghost boy broke through the fourth rank and became a fairy boy, it has entered the hall. It is no longer just an ordinary ear fairy boy, but has directly entered the Lingshan genealogy. It is the same as Chu Chen with the word "true". Since it mediates disasters and catastrophes, it has the ability to control luck.
Whether it is the ancestor Fu Hua or the uncle Fu Ling, they are all very optimistic about the little ghost and give a very high evaluation.
Seeing his senior brother bowing to each other and shouting his Dharma name again, the little devil's face was full of pride, and the little complaints in his heart were completely gone.
Master is too bad, better brother!
While joking with one person and one ghost, Ai Tianen outside the hall asked for instructions from a distance, begging to see Chu Chen.
"Patriarch Ai, you are welcome, please!"
After being allowed to enter the hall, Ai Tianen hurried to the front, respectfully said:
"Elder Chu, the practice clean room is ready for you!"
Chu Chen nodded calmly:
"Thank you, we have Patriarch Laoai."
"Elder Chu, you are too polite. You are the savior of my Ai family. How dare you say thank you."
Ai Tianen was a little disappointed with the result, but he didn't dare to complain. After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said:
"Elder Chu, I heard from the governor Wang and Ning Yi that our Ai family will not only move into the city, but also disperse into Yuxi County and Qingshi County?"
"That's right, you've seen the situation right now. It's not convenient for us in Xianting to take action. However, if you enter the county, you will be safe. Wanduhuanggu will definitely not dare to attack the Tianchao county."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he paused, and then said:
"As for your property in Yuqin Mountain, I'm afraid you have to give it up temporarily and resell it to avoid the limelight. If you can't find a suitable seller, Xianting can help you solve it and keep it for you at a satisfactory price."
"Thank you, Elder Chu."
Ai Tianen listened to Chu Chen's instructions, with a bitter look on his face and a gloomy expression, but he also understood that the Ai family had no choice, and this was a blessing in misfortune.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Up to this moment, he didn't dare to ask for anything else, he just wanted to save the lives of his people.
Right now, the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the Ai family depend on one person.
Thinking of this, Ai Tianen didn't hesitate much, took out a storage bag from his sleeve, and handed it over respectfully.
"Patriarch Ai, what do you mean?"
Ai Tianen smiled flatteringly:
"You acted as a personal friend to protect me this time. My Ai family is very grateful. How dare you make you busy and prepare a little gift. Please accept it with a smile."
"Patriarch Ai has a heart, but the treasure is fine."
Chu Chen smiled, and said a word of reassurance, "No matter what, I will do my best to protect your Ai family, so you can rest assured!"
Ai Tianen saw that Chu Chen didn't look at it and refused. He was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Chu Chen was just being polite.
So, he said some good things again and offered the treasure, but the gift was still not sent out.
Ai Tianen observed Chu Chen's resolute attitude after some observation, and felt a little anxious at the moment.
The treasure was not sent out, so he was really not at ease.
After all, the safety of Ai’s family rests entirely with Chu Chen, how can he feel at ease if there are no benefits given away.
After pondering for a while, Ai Tianen seemed to have made up his mind, saying:
"Elder Chu, do you know why my Ai family clashed with Wanduhuanggu?"
Chu Chen was originally drinking tea to perfunctory, but when he heard this, he immediately became interested, and turned to look at Ai Tianen:
"Why?"
Ai Tianen put away the storage bag, then took it out of his sleeve, took out a bronze token, and presented it.
"Because of it, my people accidentally discovered an ancient Xiuhua Cave Mansion in Yuqin Mountain a few days ago, and got many rare treasures. Among them, this token is the most special. The formation was restrained, and there was a commotion, which then attracted people from the Ten Thousand Poisonous Valley who passed by in the mountains."
"When they saw the multicolored glow, they thought that my Ai family had obtained a treasure, and then a conflict broke out. I will find someone to look at it later. This bronze token is not a powerful magic weapon. Its function is unknown. Elder Chu, please accept this thing , it can be regarded as helping my Ai family to solve future worries."
Ai Tianen's words are very beautiful, changing from the bluntness just now, it is very euphemistic.
However, anyone can see that this token is quite extraordinary, maybe there is a chance behind it.
"Patriarch Ai, since the Ten Thousand Poisonous Desolate Valley does not know what treasure it is, you don't have to worry about it. The biggest difference between the Celestial Dynasty and the barren land is that there are rules. As long as your Ai family completely surrenders to the Celestial Dynasty and settles in Yuqin and other counties, you will It is safe, with the protection of the Immortal Court, no one dares to **** it."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he said again:
"Pindao said, although this is a private act, but in fact it is also an errand, and it is not necessary to give a gift if you are doing meritorious deeds."
What he said was true.
Using means to force the Ai family is to make things better and let the Ai family completely fall to the celestial dynasty, not for the benefit.
A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. As a master of alchemy, he also has shares in the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce for dividends.
Seeing that Chu Chen was still unmoved, Ai Tianen looked anxious:
"Elder Chu, I really don't have any treasures in the Ai family. You are a high-level cultivator, and I admire you, but according to the rules of our Yunzhou immortal cultivation world, if you don't accept anything, I really don't feel at ease."
Chu Chen saw that Ai Tianen really couldn't feel at ease, so he smiled wryly and shook his head, saying:
"Forget it, I'll take this token and play with it for a month. If it's not for me, I'll return it to your Ai family in a month. What do you think?"
Seeing that Chu Chen finally accepted the benefits, Ai Tianen didn’t care about playing with it for a month or two months, it was all a gift given away, he felt more at ease all of a sudden, and was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Elder Chu."
After sending out the bronze token, Ai Tianen left satisfied.
Chu Chen watched Ai Tianen leave, played with a plain, green and rusty bronze token without any words and symbols on it, shook his head, feeling very speechless.
