Chapter 1149 Mirror Moon Sect Surrenders

In Donglai County, the majestic and majestic meeting hall was already crowded with monks, men and women.

There are two men sitting on the top of the main seat, namely Peng Xuanmao, the head teacher of the Mirror Moon Sect, and Zhu Zhiqing, the head of the Qingxuan Palace. They are sitting side by side. This is a very special situation.

Although the two are the only two Mahayana monks in their sect, after all, their positions are different, and their dignity is different.

There are no two days, no two masters, any sect or organization must have a leader who gives orders, so there can only be one chief seat, which represents the supreme status.

Below stood many disciples of the Mirror Moon Sect, all of whom were managers or above in various departments.

"Headmaster, the voting results have been counted. The 210 disciples who voted unanimously voted for Master Zhu as the next headmaster of the sect. No one abstained from the vote, and no one objected." A man held a paper file and said.

Peng Xuanmao nodded, got up and said: "I announce that the next head teacher of this sect will be Junior Brother Zhu Zhiqing."

Zhu Zhiqing also asked himself slowly, and everyone bowed to him at the same time, and said in unison: "See you, Master."

"Brother Peng dedicated himself to our sect. Although he resigned from his position as the head teacher today, he still serves as the Supreme Elder of this sect and enjoys the treatment of the head teacher of the sect."

.........

After the election of the head teacher was over, all the disciples withdrew from the main hall one by one, leaving only a few senior officials from each hall in the hall.

"From now on, I announce that this sect will no longer be an alliance with the Liu family, and all disciples will immediately withdraw to the mountain gate and stand by."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison. These have already been discussed in private, and it is just going through the process at this time.

The discussion went on for more than an hour, and when Zhu Zhiqing returned to the cave, there was already a woman waiting for him in the inner hall.

"Senior Zhu." Seeing him entering from the outside, the woman stood up and saluted.

"According to your request, Senior Brother Peng of this sect has officially resigned from the position of head teacher, and our sect has also been cut off by the Qingzhou rebels. All disciples will return to the sect to stand by." Zhu Zhi said calmly.

The woman smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior Zhu, for succeeding your sect's head teacher."

"Our sect has already fulfilled part of the conditions you raised. As for the other disciples from various palaces and courtyards who proposed to surrender, they will gradually resign from their respective positions and stay at the mountain gate for the rest of their lives. Our sect's sincerity has already been shown. Now it's up to you to respond."

"Senior Zhu, please rest assured that the coalition forces will try their best to meet the conditions that Guizong raised earlier."

"Not as much as possible, what I want is an affirmative answer."

"The younger generation speaks lightly, even if the senior gives a satisfactory answer, can the senior believe it?" The woman found a letter in her hand: "This is a letter from the sect, please read it to the senior."

Zhu Zhiqing took the envelope, opened it, his complexion darkened, he threw it aside with a wave of his hand, and glared at him: "What does your clan mean by this? You want this clan to hand over Senior Brother Peng and the disciple who proposed to form an alliance with the Liu family?" As a hostage, it is simply deceiving too much. If your lord is not sincere, I don't think there is any need to talk about it."

The woman said: "Senior, don't be angry. This sect has absolutely no intention of taking Senior Peng as a hostage. Senior Peng is famous in Qingzhou. Who can treat him as a hostage? This sect just hopes to use Senior Peng's reputation and ability to attack Qingzhou. traitor."

"As the saying goes, you have to be a Ling person to untie the chain. Senior Peng, as the head teacher of the noble sect, single-handedly led the attack on the sect by the Taoist sect in Donglai County. Now that the noble sect has decided to reconcile with the sect, it is natural that senior Peng is needed. The instigator showed some attitude."

"Senior Peng and Guizong's disciples who advocated rebellion were able to attack the sect, why can't they fight against the rebels now?"

"Although the younger generation cannot represent the attitude of the coalition forces, there is a point of recognition that both the sect and the other forces of the coalition forces are consistent. This time, the noble sect will not only make internal adjustments, but also need to perform crimes and meritorious deeds."

"If the noble sect is still holding the attitude of the first and the second mouse, and is sitting on the fence, it is absolutely impossible to watch the battle between the dragon and the tiger."

"Your Emperor must take a clear-cut stand and send out people to fight against the rebels, so that the coalition forces can accept the peace talks with your emperor. Otherwise, you would rather your emperor continue to work with the rebels, and you don't need your assistance."

"This condition is not just for the noble sect. It is the same for all sects and families who are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. They need to perform crimes and meritorious deeds."

"For example, Shangyuanzong in Jinan County, whose head teacher and the high-ranking sect that advocated rebellion at the beginning, joined the attack on Beihai County. Xuanyuanzong and Qianchenzong, who wanted to negotiate peace with Guizong in Donglai County, all Conditions agreed."

Zhu Zhiqing's eyes were burning like a torch: "You said that both Xuanyuanzong and Qianchenzong agreed to your conditions."

The woman said: "Senior, you don't think that the only one in Donglai County who is secretly negotiating with us is you!"

"When Guizong launched an attack on us with Xuanmen, he should have thought of this day. In fact, Xuanyuanzong and Qianchenzong have long been dissatisfied with Guizong's behavior, and have always coveted Guizong's position in Donglai County. , when we were in contact with the noble sect, we had already been in contact with them."

"If there is no accident, I believe that at this moment, Xuan Yuanzong and Qianchenzong have publicly changed their flags and announced that they will sever ties with the rebels. Perhaps tonight, seniors will get the news."

"If the noble sect does not accept our request, then we will start a war. In the future, Donglai County will no longer have the sect of Jingyuezong. Xuanyuanzong and Qianchenzong will replace Guizong and become the leaders of Xuanmen in Donglai County. .”

"So, this junior needs you to give an accurate answer now."

Zhu Zhiqing stared at the woman in front of him with scorching eyes. As the only remaining two Mahayana monks of the Mirror Moon Sect, they were pampered and treated with dignity, and all they heard were flattery. Can't help but get angry from the heart.

The woman's eyes were flat and fearless, and she looked at him.

After a while, Zhu Zhiqing said in a low voice: "Where is Xingyuezong? Have they also secretly contacted you?"

The woman smiled and said: "We will not accept the surrender of all sects. The coalition forces originally planned to accept only one-third of the Taoist forces' abandoning the dark and turning to the bright. The top three sects in Donglai County originally planned to leave only one. There are only two top Taoist sects left."

"Cang Mingzong of Linzi County and Shangyuanzong of Jinan County have announced to join the Qingzhou Allied Forces and are fighting the rebels on the Beihai battlefield. These two quotas have been set. According to the previous plan of the Qingzhou Allied Forces, there is no noble sect position. of."

"Because of the heavy casualties in this battle, the coalition forces were unwilling to invest more troops in Donglai County and cause more casualties. Therefore, under the hard work of this sect, we persuaded You Minghai and the Jiang family to agree with your sect to abandon the dark and turn to the bright." This act of surrender enables Guizong to continue to lead the Xuanmen in Dongnai County."

"Senior knows that when the Nether Sea Organization joined the coalition, it wanted to divide Qingzhou with Benzong and the Jiang family, intending to wipe out all the rebellious Xuanmen and aristocratic families. Later, after hard negotiations between the sect and the Jiang family, it was decided to stay. The lower third of the Taoist sects and aristocratic families surrendered."

"In other words, the more forces that surrender, the less territory Nether Sea will get in the future, because the territory they will get is divided from these rebellious Taoist sects and aristocratic families."

"Nowadays, more than one-third of the forces have surrendered. It took me a lot of effort to convince the Nether Sea organization to agree to your surrender, and to fight for more Xuanmen to be preserved."

"I don't need to say more about the purpose of this sect. The seniors naturally know it. I just hope that the seniors can understand that this sect has good intentions. If the noble sect does not agree to this condition, the Nether Sea Organization will be very happy. In fact, this condition is what they put forward. Yes, in order to make the defecting sects shrink back in fear."

Zhu Zhiqing was silent for a long time: "How do you ensure that Brother Peng and those disciples are not persecuted?"

"With Senior Peng's cultivation, do you still need to worry about other people's persecution? What's more, Shangyuanzong and other sects have sent people to the Qingzhou battlefield. Since Guizong has abandoned the dark side and is willing to send troops to support the Qingzhou battlefield, everyone is on the same boat. , before the rebellion is over, how could the coalition forces persecute allies on one front, wouldn't that mean breaking both feet?"

"I can't decide this matter, I need to discuss it with Senior Brother Peng."

"The juniors have time to wait for each other. I hope the seniors can carefully weigh the pros and cons."

"If the battle in Qingzhou ends, will Senior Brother Peng and the disciples who supported him come back?"

"Senior Zhu, don't worry, the letter has already made it very clear. If senior Peng and those disciples of Guizong who proposed to attack our sect can make meritorious service on the battlefield of Qingzhou, all the past will be forgotten. Not only will they be able to return to Guizong, but they will also You can move freely, you don’t have to die in the mountain gate, and you can’t go out for the rest of your life. In fact, this is giving them a chance to make a contribution.”

Zhu Ziqing got up and left, and came to another majestic cave in the mountain range. In the dark stone room, an old man with pale temples sat upright. It was Peng Xuanmao, the former head teacher of Jingyue Sect.

"Senior Brother Peng." Zhu Ziqing entered from the outside and saluted.

"You are now the head of the sect. If the head wants to see others, he only needs to call for an audience." Peng Xuanmao said.

As the Mirror Moon Sect, the two only have two Mahayana monks, and their status in the sect is naturally unmatched. Zhu Zhiqing was originally Peng Xuanmao's confidant. The next head teacher.

Therefore, the relationship between the two not only does not have the contradiction that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but is very close.

"You're right." Zhu Zhiqing sat across from him, hesitantly said: "Taixuanzong raised conditions again."

"As expected, letting me step down and replace you as the successor is only the first step of their plan, and they will propose a series of conditions after that. There is no way, this is the price of surrender."

"But if you don't surrender, the price will only be greater after you fail. Even if you resist to the end, the chances of winning are not great."

Peng Xuanmao was noncommittal: "Tell me! What conditions did they raise this time? Is it related to me?"

"Taixuanzong asked us to send some disciples to support the frontal war in Qingzhou, and specified that you should lead the team."

Peng Xuanmao's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

"This is their condition." Zhu Zhiqing handed over the letter in his hand.

Peng Xuanmao took the letter, read it for a while, and finally said, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhiqing said: "We don't seem to have much choice. Xuanyuanzong and Qianchenzong have already agreed to their conditions. I have confirmed repeatedly that they will guarantee the safety of our sect's support personnel on the Qingzhou battlefield."

"You are the head teacher, so you can decide according to your wishes!" Peng Xuanmao said, his originally upright body suddenly became a little stooped, and suddenly looked like a dying old man.

It was only then that Zhu Zhiqing realized that the old man in front of him had gray hair and eye spots. It was strange that he had never noticed it before.
