Chapter 203 Seeing Sibu Again
"I have understood what the messenger said today. Let me think about it for now, and then give the messenger a reply!"
After listening to Yan Jian’s remarks, Xu Jin did not agree at all, but said to the other party because he did not understand what Qi and Qi were really intending.
When Yan Jian heard Xu Jin say this, he looked a little regretful, and then he replied.
"It seems that I came today, but I still couldn't make it happen immediately, and I had to return in vain!"
When Xu Jin heard this, he smiled and said, "The messenger came today, but it was not considered a failure to return. At least this remark has already made me quite moved. After I think about it, I might want to join Qi State!"
"Then I am looking forward to the good news from Master Xu. If I can work with Master Xu in the future, I will be extremely happy and say goodbye!"
After Xu Jin said this, Yan Jian also smiled and said, then bowed and prepared to leave. The people who came with him were also ready to put down the wooden box in their hands.
Seeing this, Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Please take these things back for now. When I discuss the results, it will be not too late for the messenger to send them away when the time comes!"
Hearing Xu Jin say this, Yan Jian smiled and shook his head and said, "I have said before that these things are the gifts I gave to Master Xu. No matter what decision Xu Bingzhu makes in the end, these gifts are given to Master Xu Bingzhu. Master Xu doesn't need to think too much about it, just accept them, and the things I took out are not the reason why I took them back intact!"
After saying that, Yan Jian stopped staying in the big tent and turned around and walked out. The people who came with him all let go of the wooden boxes in their hands. After they let go, the wooden boxes floated in the air.
Seeing the other party like this, Xu Jin did not refuse anymore. He could only stand up and send everyone from Qi to the camp with the priest Qi.
After watching the Qi people leave, Xu Jin and the entrusts of Qi return to the tent. At this time, the wooden boxes were still floating quietly in the air.
Xu Jin looked at the wooden boxes, turned his head and looked at the worshiper Qi beside him, and spoke to him.
"Please check these things and see if there are any problems with these spiritual materials!"
Qi Guo gave him such a big gift for no reason, and was afraid that he would not accept it. Xu Jin looked at these things and could not help but wonder if there was any hidden tricks in it, so he had to check it out.
Hearing Xu Jin's words, the worshiper surnamed Qi nodded, reached out and made a gentle move, and the wooden boxes floating in the air immediately gathered in front of him.
The worshiper named Qi raised his hand and pinched several magic tricks, then reached forward and waved it. A tiny yellow light enveloped all the wooden boxes. The spiritual materials in the wooden boxes had different reactions at this moment. Some of the spiritual lights on the surface became brighter, some of the lights completely converged, and some of the spiritual lights changed color, and some of the spiritual materials flew out of the box directly.
Seeing the changes in the spiritual materials in the box, the envoys of Qi dispersed their magic and said to Xu Jin.
"I didn't find any problem. I think Qi Guo shouldn't have any trouble among these spiritual materials!"
"Then let's put away these things first and deal with them after you go back. By the way, senior thinks, what is the real purpose of Qi's country coming this time?"
When Xu Jin heard this, he nodded slightly and said to the worshiper surnamed Qi.
Hearing Xu Jin's question, the consort surnamed Qi shook his head and replied to Xu Jin: "I can't guess the real purpose of Qi's sending an envoy to come this time. According to the envoy today, things seem to be beneficial to us, but depending on the other party's attitude, Qi's country obviously wants to make this happen. There are probably some things we don't know about. We might as well go back and discuss with others!"
"That's good!" Xu Jin nodded again after hearing this.
Now that the battle with Qi State is not possible, since he decided to discuss with others, Xu Jin did not waste time and quickly ordered his Taoist soldiers to pack up their things and set off for Gujiu.
At the same time, Yan Jian and others returned to the camp of Qi State, told everyone about what happened after they met Xu Jin, and finally said to everyone.
"The Lord Xu Bingzhu is afraid that he has some doubts in his heart and will not make a decision for a while. If he wants to make a decision as soon as possible, he has to dispel his doubts and let him know that our country of Qi really has no malice towards him, at least, it is now!"
After hearing this, all the practitioners of Qi nodded and agreed with his statement. At this time, Bai Li said, "Since that's the case, let's report it. I believe someone will dispel his doubts next. We just need to wait!"
...
A few hours later, Xu Jin returned to Gujiu. When he saw Xu Jin return safely, many people in Gujiu City breathed a sigh of relief, especially those ordinary people. After seeing Xu Jin bringing people back, they finally let go of their hearts. The children who were locked up by their parents were finally allowed to go out.
After asking Zheng Hong to arrange the meals of the Taoist soldiers, Xu Jin and the priests of Qi entered the small space of Gujiu. After meeting Tian Yu and the priests of Qi, the two told each other about what happened after they went out, and then began to ask about the opinions of Tian Yu and the priests of Han.
After listening to the story of Xu Jin and the others, the Han consort and Tian Yu thought about it. After pondering for a while, Tian Yu took the lead in speaking.
"The move of Qi State does indeed have the intention to recruit Xu Bingzhu. If Xu Bingzhu joins Qi State, it will definitely be very welcome to Qi State now. Judging from the agreement proposed by Qi State later, the real purpose of Qi State and the benefits that can be obtained should be almost equal to Xu Bingzhu joining Qi State. As for what the real purpose is, I can't guess at the moment!"
"It should be so!"
After Tian Yu finished speaking, the consort named Han nodded immediately and said.
"Why do you think we should agree?" Xu Jin looked at Tian Yu and asked at him.
"I don't know this, so the soldiers can only make the decision by themselves!" Tian Yu shook his head helplessly when he heard Xu Jin's question.
When Xu Jin heard this, he nodded slightly, but did not get a satisfactory answer from Tian Yu. Xu Jin was not particularly disappointed. After all, he had too little information on this matter, and Tian Yu had no choice but to answer this way. Moreover, for Gujiu now, he was the master of this place, so he should have made his own decision.
After coming out of the small space, Xu Jin continued to think about this matter in his mind, constantly recalling the various things that happened during this period, trying to peel off the incident and slowly clarify Qi Guo's motives, which made him think of some possibilities, but it could not be verified.
Among these possibilities, Xu Jin felt that the most likely one was the possibility that Yan Jian had already mentioned when he was talking to him. Qi State had a certain possibility, and he really wanted Gujiu to become a buffer between them and Jing State.
There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. When dealing with Chen State, Qi State was originally an ally of Chen State, but later became an enemy of Chen State, and together with Jing State, they destroyed Chen State.
Now that we have lost the common enemy of Chen, the interest relationship between the two has returned to the normal relationship between countries. In this way, Qi cannot help but leave the old man behind, which is equivalent to an additional barrier that does not require money to support. Why not do this!
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Xu Jin had Qi Qi collected more news about Qi during the past two days, but from this news, the purpose of Qi was not completely determined.
And on this day, Xu Jin, who was practicing in the room, suddenly felt a familiar aura suddenly appear outside Gujiu City.
Xu Jin opened his eyes instantly, and as his thoughts turned, he had already remembered who this familiar aura belonged to.
After leaving the room quickly, Xu Jin's body quickly floated up and flew directly outside the city. He soon arrived at the location where the breath was. Then Xu Jin saw a man standing there, his eyes looking at the Xuefutu Taoist soldiers not far away.
Seeing this figure, Xu Jin quickly fell down, stood beside the other party, and then spoke to him.
"Si Bu Zhenyin, it's been a long time since we met!"
The person standing outside the city at this time was the former Chen Guozhen Yin Sibu. I haven't seen him for a while. The aura on the other party has changed a little more than before, and has become more profound. The image of the whole person has changed a little more than before, and his makeup is more chic than before.
"It's indeed a long time since I haven't seen you. I didn't expect that you can gain a foothold in Gujiu. I didn't expect that the Xuefutu Taoist soldiers finally fell into your hands and became the strongest force under your command now. Now on the entire land of Chen State, you should be the strongest among the remaining Chen State forces. This is also unexpected!"
Hearing Xu Jin's words, Si Bu turned his head, looked Xu Jin up and down, then showed a smile on his face, and spoke to Xu Jin.
"I didn't expect to see Si Bu Zhenyin in Gujiu. Before, I heard from seniors Qi and Han say, "You went to Dasheng for help, and there will be no news after that!" Xu Jin also showed a smile on his face and said to Si Bu.
"Qi Yang and Han Huang are also old friends. I didn't expect that both of them were here with you!" Si Bu continued to smile when he heard Xu Jin say this.
"Since you are an old friend, why don't Si Bu Zhenyin go to see his old friend together!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jin turned sideways and made a request gesture to Si Bu, signaling the other party to enter the city and chat.
"Okay, I should meet old friends!"
Seeing Xu Jin's actions, Si Bu nodded and agreed directly. Although his purpose today was to meet Xu Jin, since he had old friends, he might as well meet them together. Now that Chen State is gone, I don't know how many old friends from the past will see in the future.
The two entered the city. Along the way, Si Bu kept looking at the situation in Gujiu City, while Xu Jin introduced him to him.
Today, Gujiu City has a little thriving scene, but in Sibu's eyes, these changes are nothing at all. Gujiu is still just a small place. It was not until Xu Jin took him to the small space of Gujiu that Sibu was slightly moved and praised Xu Jin.
"The small space opened up by Master Xu is quite stable, and the space inside is quite large. Based on this, it can indeed support a city in time!"
Hearing Si Bu’s words, Xu Jin smiled and said, “The space inside is indeed not small. Si Bu Zhenyin will go in and take a look!”
Hearing this, Si Bu shook his head slightly, and then said, "It is generally not convenient for outsiders to enter in such a place. I'd better wait here. Master Xu will go by himself!"
"It's okay. My small space has not been opened for a long time. There are not many spiritual materials cultivated in it, and there is nothing worth remembering about. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited Si Bu Zhenyin to enter together!"
When Xu Jin heard the other party’s words, his expression remained unchanged and he continued to speak.
Hearing this, Si Bu smiled and shook his head again, still unwilling to go in.
Seeing the other party like this, Xu Jin didn't force himself. After nodding, he entered the small space by himself.
As soon as he entered the small space, Xu Jin's face immediately calmed down.
Si Bu's arrival was undoubtedly a very unexpected thing for Xu Jin. The other party had gone to Dasheng before, and now he should have come back from Dasheng. Since Xu Jin met with him just now, he has been considering the other party's purpose of coming to Gujiu.
Xu Jin thought of the best possibility that the other party had just returned from Dasheng. Facing the devastated Chen Guo, he didn't know where to go, so he came to Gujiu and had the intention to settle here temporarily. But after a conversation just now, Xu Jin found that this kind of pie falling from the sky did not seem to have happened to him.
When he invited the other party to enter the small space, Si Bu refused twice in succession. On the one hand, the other party was able to hold on to his identity as an outsider. On the other hand, Xu Jin also clearly noticed that Si Bu was a little wary of him, so he was unwilling to easily enter the small space of Gujiu.
In this way, the other party’s purpose of coming to Gujiu today is worthy of fun. Even the Zhengyin, who was once the Chen State, is now worth exploring.
Xu Jin is now hesitating whether to let the other party meet Han and Qi worshippers. After all, Si Bu's identity position is unclear, and he knows the two worshippers again. If after meeting each other, the other party abducts the only two masters of Jiming realm around him, he would have suffered a great loss.
But now that he is outside, Xu Jin regrets it too late, so he can only let a few people meet. As for what will happen after the meeting, he can only wait a while before talking.
