Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not dare to neglect the summons from Bishui Jiange.

After all, the last summons was about the incident in Yan State.

I don’t know why Bishui Jiange called them over this time.

At that moment, the couple briefly discussed the situation with Jiang Renyi.

Afterwards, they did not delay and quickly rushed to the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

Almost like last time, when Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at the meeting hall of Bishui Jiange, they found that there were already many people sitting here.

Most of them are their acquaintances.

Pavilion Master Hou Dongbai, Supreme Elder Gu Yuefeng, Elder Liuhuo, etc.

Including Wen Shujun and Li Mingkong of Tianyue Sect are also among them.

In addition to these acquaintances, there were two more strangers present.

After Hou Dongbai's introduction, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally knew that the two strangers in front of them were none other than Qin Menglan, another supreme elder of the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

The only female nun.

And a middle-aged man with a rather elegant face.

Yu Haoji of Tianyue Sect.

The Taoist companion of one of his disciples once had a master-disciple relationship with the Liehuozhen Sect.

She once even wanted to take advantage of her husband's relationship to seek revenge on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

But it didn't work out.

After Jiang Chengxuan and the others' achievements were reported, Yu Haoji asked someone to bring them the news, saying that he didn't know about those things at the beginning and hoped that there would be no unnecessary misunderstandings between them.

.

In this regard, the couple also expressed their understanding at the time.

When the two parties met at this time, Yu Haoji showed a very polite attitude.

Just listen to him say: "I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fairy Shen have extraordinary talents. I have always wanted to get acquainted with you two, but unfortunately I have never had the chance. Today I finally got to see their true faces.

."

With that said, Yu Haoji took the initiative to stand up, smiled and hugged the couple's fists.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw this, they immediately smiled and clasped their fists in return.

"Fellow Daoist Yu is too polite."

After saying that, the couple met with other acquaintances present one by one.

After everyone had exchanged greetings, Hou Dongbai, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, looked at everyone present and said with a serious expression:

"Everyone, the main reason why we have been summoned here this time is because of the current war between our five countries."

Seeing Hou Dongbai talking about this, everyone present, including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, couldn't help but be shocked.

Everyone knows that the war between the five countries has lasted for many years.

Whether it was the alliance of Zheng and Shu or the three countries, they actually suffered varying degrees of losses.

Hou Dongbai suddenly mentioned this at this time. Does it mean that something happened that they didn't know about?

really.

I heard Hou Dongbai continue: "To be honest, not long ago, I received messages from Yuanyang Valley of Zheng State and the head of Qianfa Sect of Shu State.

They represent their respective countries and want to sign an armistice agreement with our three countries."

"What?"

Upon hearing Hou Dongbai's words, in addition to the people from Bishui Jiange, Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, as well as the three members of the Tianyue Sect, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on their faces.

They obviously didn't expect that the alliance between Zheng and Shu would send them a ceasefire request.

This is really a strange thing.

You know, in the past, the alliance between Zheng and Shu was actually slightly stronger than the other three countries.

He is also quite domineering in his actions.

If this were not the case, things like the Fukuyama Wolf King would not have happened during the Monster Beast Rebellion.

But now, they took the initiative to make a ceasefire request to them.

Isn't this a disguised form of submission to the Three Kingdoms?

How could the sects and families of Zheng and Shu do such a thing?

Could it be that it was because the two countries lost four golden elixirs before, which brought the strength between the two sides closer, and this led to their behavior?

In theory, this thing seems to make some sense, but in practice, this is not their style.

There must be some truth that they don't know.

At this moment, whether it was Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or the three golden elixirs from the Tianyue Sect, they all had a look of suspicion on their faces.

I heard Li Mingkong from Tianyue Sect say: "Pavilion Master Hou, is what you said true?

Could this be another conspiracy or calculation by Zheng and Shu against our three countries?"

After Li Mingkong said these words, Jiang Chengxuan and others present all looked at Hou Dongbai.

Hou Dongbai replied: "This matter should be true without a doubt, because they have made it clear during the subpoena that regarding this armistice agreement, both of us can sign a blood oath contract.

Neither our three countries nor their alliance of Zheng and Shu are allowed to launch any form of war within a certain time limit."

After hearing Hou Dongbai's words, Jiang Chengxuan and others finally believed in the ceasefire request made by Zheng and Shu.

Since you are willing to sign a blood oath contract, the probability of violating it is extremely slim.

Because that price is definitely not something that Zheng and Shu can afford.

But at the same time, Jiang Chengxuan and three other people from the Tianyue Sect also noticed.

The armistice agreement mentioned by the other party refers to both parties, that is, the alliance of Zheng and Shu, and the three countries, but does not specifically refer to individuals, or a certain sect or family.

In other words, if someone or a certain family among them conflicts with the other party's golden elixir, or even has a life-and-death battle, it is not within the scope of this contract.

As long as the two sides do not break out into a war of this magnitude, it will not be considered a breach of the contract.

When he thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly said:

"Pavilion Master Hou, do you know why they want to end this war with us?

I don’t believe that with the behavior of both countries, they would swallow that breath so easily.”

The tone Jiang Chengxuan mentioned here was naturally referring to the fact that the Three Kingdoms counterattacked and killed four golden elixirs.

And this question is also something everyone present wants to know.

However, Hou Dongbai shook his head this time.

"The question you mentioned, Fellow Daoist Jiang, is actually what I can't figure out the most and what I feel puzzled about.

But for this question, you and I are destined to be unable to get a specific answer for the time being. We can only wait for people to slowly investigate and inquire in the future.

The most urgent thing at the moment is that we still need to discuss it first. Regarding the alliance of Zheng and Shu, which has proposed an armistice request to us, what do you think specifically? Do you think we should agree to it?"

It is undeniable that what Hou Dongbai said is not wrong.

Now, if we want to understand why the alliance between Zheng and Shu behaved so abnormally, it is obviously not something that can be figured out in a short time.

Instead of focusing entirely on those issues, it would be better to seriously consider whether you really want to agree to them regarding the armistice.

In this regard, Yu Haoji was the first to express his position.

Just listen to him say: "If both of us can sign a blood oath contract, then I think we can agree to this matter.

After all, with the strength of both of us, if we continue to fight like this, apart from consuming each other's strength in vain, there won't be much meaning."

His view was quickly recognized by Li Mingkong and Wen Shujun.

Obviously, after these years of observation, they all know that fighting this kind of battle will not have any big results.

After all, what they asked for in the first place was just to show their uncompromising attitude.

Now that the goal has been achieved, if we continue to consume it like that, it will obviously be more than worth the gain.

Gu Yuefeng and Elder Liuhuo also agreed with Yu Haoji's point of view.

The same is true for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Although it feels like there may be some inside story that they don't know about.

But as Hou Dongbai said, figuring out the situation cannot be done in a short time.

The top priority is to implement the armistice as soon as possible.

"Since everyone has the same point of view, the matter has been decided like this."
