The Fourth Financial Crisis

As Liu Hanxing said, the major continents in the Kyushu cultivation world (except Antarctic and Arctic states) are all protected by continent-level magic barriers. These magic barriers are said to be restrictions left by ancient immortals, and even late Yuanying monks cannot Violent breakthrough.

Subject to the natural barriers formed by these continent-level barriers, the political structure of Kyushu has never changed significantly since the seven sects integrated the internal forces of their respective continents. Even if the strength of some overlord-level sects is temporarily weakened, as long as they defend the If you take good care of your hometown, you can make foreign enemies unable to do anything.

Although the ascended immortals of the Wuliang Sword Sect should be able to break through these barriers, after the three ascended immortals arrived in the Immortal Realm, their interest in the secular affairs of Kyushu was greatly reduced. They neither destroyed these ancient barriers and invaded other continents, nor rashly changed the pattern of Kyushu.

After the three immortals left Kyushu, the Wuliang Sword Sect seriously considered the possibility of expanding outwards, but they were powerless against these magic barriers, so they could only make progress in the uninhabited Antarctic State and overseas islands. This is why There are still so many "anti-Luyang elements" who survived five hundred years ago in Huoyun Prefecture.

Under normal circumstances, various sects would only open a few limited trading ports at these continental barriers.

In the era of the Kyushu Monetary Union led by Bo Nanke, these ports were the main means of foreign exchange control for the major hegemonic sects. When the Kyushu Monetary Union was replaced by the Lingshi Reserve Bank, these barriers became the means to collect trade tariffs. portal.

Not only that, if there are high-level monks at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages who want to enter or exit the port, they will inevitably be blocked unless they have an entry and exit permit issued by the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Yang Chenglong's official identity is Wuliangjian's special trade representative stationed in Haiya City. In addition to supervising Haiya City's ocean trade and collecting tariffs, Wuliangjian's special trade representative stationed in Haiya City also has the power to temporarily open and close Haiya ports.

When Lu Anping was arrested, one of the charges was that he failed to close the entry and exit port of Haiya City in time, which caused Li Feiyu, a wanted criminal from the Wuliang Sword Sect, to escape.

It is precisely because this position has the power to strangle the Haiya Sect that the foundation-building deacon of the Wuliang Sword Sect who holds this position can effectively check and balance the local snake Haiya Sect, and is even more powerful than the deacon Fang Jiancai of Gongdetang who has the power to assess the local sect. .

Therefore, before the social security reform pilot began, Lin Jianxing's first step was to replace Lu Anping with one of his own.

Now that Tian Daxiao can show up at the headquarters of Haiya Chamber of Commerce with such swagger, it can only mean one thing:

Yang Chenglong, who is responsible for guarding the border, has rebelled!

Yang Chenglong was specially selected by Qiu Longbo to be the spokesperson for the Zhongzhou Social Security System Reform Pilot Platform. Even though Liu Hanxing thought that his actions were indeed a bit strange before, he never expected that this person would also defect to the enemy camp. Because Yang Jackie Chan was deeply involved in Liu Hanxing's plans throughout the entire process, and his rebellion made all the actions Liu Hanxing planned during this period a complete joke.

Now Liu Hanxing has only one thought in his head:

No wonder the reform of the social security system in Zhongzhou is so unsuccessful. It turns out that the clown is myself!

Lin Jianxing obviously thought of the same thing.

Noticing Lin Jianxing's shocked and angry eyes, Liu Hanxing knew that his head master wanted to ask why he had been completely unaware of such a big traitor hiding around him for so long.

However, Liu Hanxing really didn't know how to explain it.

Not to mention that Yang Chenglong's net worth is very innocent and he does not seem to have any interaction with the Haiya Clan. More importantly, he has not revealed any obvious flaws during this period, especially the leak of recruitment documents and the leak of Ye Chen's whereabouts. Yang Chenglong was completely unaware of the two most important leaks from beginning to end.

There was no chance, no motive, and no evidence. Even if Liu Hanxing was given ten chances, he would never guess that the traitor was this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes!

Seeing Liu Hanxing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Jiang Hua'an also smiled as expected.

At Liu Hanxing's reception meeting, he saw Yang Chenglong accidentally put Yang Lu's name before Li Qingning when greeting the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and he was acutely aware that there might be a problem with the relationship between the two.

Then he sent Song Feifan, a beautiful golden elixir-level assassin who practiced the Shura Sword inheritance and was also his former dual cultivation cauldron, to follow Yang Chenglong and Yang Lu for a long time, and successfully discovered the secret of the "cultivation switch".

Of course, neither Song Feifan nor Jiang Hua'an knew the underlying principles of the Cultivation Switch, but because the Cultivation Switch looks quite similar to a mobile phone on Earth, the style of painting looks very strange in the world of Cultivation. In addition, there are very few identical magic weapons in the world of Cultivation. , so seeing that both of them had the same strange magic weapon, and would only use it when no one was around, Jiang Hua'an, who was spying on the news with doubts, became more certain about the relationship between the two.

So Jiang Huaan decided to test Yang Lu at the "3+1" meeting, implying that Yang Lu had seen through his secret.

Facing Jiang Hua'an's temptation, it was difficult for Yang Lu to accept the move.

He didn't know how many secrets Jiang Hua'an had discovered about him. If the other party had more information than he thought, any form of lying might lead to loopholes. Not only could he not hide it from Jiang Hua'an, but he could easily offend the other party. After careful consideration, he still did not lie and told Jiang Hua'an Yang Chenglong's secret. However, he hid the story of the two sides' acquaintance on the battlefield outside the territory and only said that the two were on the battlefield. An old acquaintance who met in Yunlaicheng.

No matter how powerful Jiang Hua'an is, it is absolutely impossible for him to trace what happened on the battlefield outside the territory.

And this statement that "the two met in Yunlaicheng" undoubtedly sounds very perfunctory to Jiang Hua'an. After all, the two of you conspired to do such a big thing, how could it be as simple as knowing each other.

Even my brothers would not dare to do this kind of beheading business with you!

However, Jiang Hua'an knew that Yang Lu was a thoughtful person and would not tell low-level lies casually. Moreover, Yang Lu was also a die-hard ally of Han Xinhe and Su Yuanfeng. Jiang Hua'an was not in a position to push him too far. In addition, he introduced foreign aid from Huoyun State. The plan also needed to use Yang Chenglong, an important chess piece, so he could only hold his nose and reluctantly agree to this statement.

According to Jiang Hua'an's original plan, he originally wanted to take advantage of the Hongmen Banquet to lure Liu Hanxing and Fu Meng away from the mountain, and then let Song Feifan take the opportunity to attack Yang Chenglong who was alone, gain control of the Haiya Port Port, and introduce Tian Daxiao to Zhongzhou as a His last trump card.

But since Yang Chenglong himself can be used for his own purposes, there is no need to risk using Song Feifan, an unreliable chess piece, to act as the winner of this chess game.

Faced with Jiang Hua'an's coercion and inducement, Yang Lu and Yang Chenglong had little room for bargaining, especially since the two had previously worked together to defraud the Haiya Department of money, and now they were caught by the other party. As long as they did not want to break with the Haiya Department, this It’s time to stand firm.

You must know that this is a life and death moment for the Haiya system.

If Yang Lu and Yang Chenglong are still not determined to take sides at this time, it is equivalent to being determined not to take sides.

Facts have proved that Jiang Hua'an's worries were not unreasonable. Song Feifan did slip up at the critical moment. However, with the help of Yang Chenglong and Jiang Hua'an's decisive killing, Song Feifan's slip did not lead to substantial consequences.

And Yang Chenglong, the Zhongzhou traitor, did not do it for nothing.

Jiang Hua'an not only put past the blame for defrauding Su Yuanfeng of three million spirit stone coins, but also offered very generous conditions, guaranteeing that his personal safety would be used as a necessary bargaining chip. Even if the senior officials of the Haiya Clan were forced to go into exile overseas, they could Let him take refuge in Huoyun State and let him be reused in Shenhuo Sect.

In the past, this promise might not have been convincing enough.

But with Li Feiyu's successful case in Huoyunzhou, this offer is very convincing.

Didn’t you see that after Li Feiyu arrived in Huoyun State, he suddenly became one of the highest-ranking guest elders of the Shenhuo Sect. He also served as the plenipotentiary representative of the six sects of the Shenhuo Sect in the far north of Arctic State. His status was higher than that of serving as a monetary policy member of the Lingshi Reserve Bank in Zhongzhou. The fake job is even higher.

With the case of buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, and the fact that Jiang Hua'an was willing to sign a heavenly contract with them, Yang Lu and Yang Chenglong finally accepted Jiang Hua'an's conditions.

Although Jiang Hua'an didn't say what he wanted Yang Chenglong to open the Haiya Port port for, Yang Lu could also guess that the identity of the overseas reinforcements that Jiang Hua'an hired at such a high cost must not be simple.

Thinking of Tian Beixi who suddenly appeared in Haiya City, Yang Lu soon realized that the person who came for reinforcements was probably Tian Daxiao, the leader of Fire Cloud State, and Tian Beixi should be Tian Daxiao who had arranged for him to arrive in Haiya City in advance. Eyes and negotiators!

Since the cooperation between Tian Daxiao and Jiang Hua'an is of great importance, even if the two sides have a very solid basis for cooperation, Tian Daxiao will definitely not believe Jiang Hua'an's words. Tian Beixi came to Haiya City in person not only to negotiate with Jiang Hua'an on behalf of Tian Daxiao, but also to monitor Haiya in a timely manner. The dynamics of Yacheng.

This is the real reason why Tian Beixi appeared in Haiya City!

The only thing Yang Lu couldn't figure out was when exactly the Haiya Clan and the Shenhuo Sect got hooked up. He only knew that the two parties must have had private contact for a long time. After all, Tian Beixi went to Haiya just after the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system began. Yacheng observed the direction of the wind. It was impossible for the two parties to negotiate such a big matter overnight. There must have been secret contacts for a long time.

Maybe when the Haiya Chamber of Commerce formed a consortium to acquire Yangjiang Port, they would already be colluding with the Shenhuo Sect!

In fact, Yang Lu's guess was very close to the truth.

In fact, the founder of the famous killer organization Tinghe Yuge is none other than Tian Daxiao, the head of the Shenhuo Sect!

Only Tian Daxiao came forward as the initiator, so he could organize the seven major trading giants in the world of cultivation and jointly established an interstate killer organization called Tingheyuge.

The rumors in the Kyushu cultivation world are correct. I heard that Heyuge, a third-party killing platform that Yang Lu nicknamed "Didi Beating People", was indeed established based on the idea that President Lu Yang inadvertently proposed back then. Looking at the entire Kyushu cultivation In the world, the only person who has both the ability and the willingness to implement Governor Lu's great idea is his protégé and number one fan Tian Daxiao.

The legendary leader of the Nascent Soul stage of Tinghe Yu Pavilion in the world of cultivation is naturally none other than Tian Daxiao himself.

After all, even if ordinary Yuan Ying stage masters are willing to work for Ting He Yu Pavilion, the seven Golden Elixir stage directors of Ting He Yu Pavilion would not dare to use it casually!

Therefore, Tian Beixi did not completely tell the truth to Yang Lu.

Tian Daxiao stepped forward to rescue the Haiya Sect. On the one hand, it was to add obstacles to the Wuliang Sword Sect. On the other hand, it was also because the boss behind Tinghe Yu Pavilion was rescuing his partner.

In fact, Tian Daxiao doesn't really want to wipe the Haiya Department's butt.

But Tinghe Yuge has too much to do with it. If he insists on refusing to save him, Jiang Hua'an, one of the seven directors of Tinghe Yuge, will be forced to reveal the secret behind Tinghe Yuge. Not only will Tinghe Yuge, the most famous person in Kyushu, Qiang's killer organization and intelligence organization will be completely destroyed, and even Tian Daxiao may have a hard time clearing up the relationship.

Therefore, Tian Daxiao had to come forward to rescue Jiang Hua'an!

Although Yang Lu didn't know the true relationship between Tian Daxiao and Jiang Hua'an, and felt that some reasons for Tian Daxiao's personal appearance were not sufficient, he knew that the head of the Shenhuo Sect would come to rescue Jiang Hua'an, which was enough.

It was precisely because he concluded that Tian Daxiao would definitely come forward to mediate that Yang Lu did not run away with his eldest lady carrying a bucket. Otherwise, even if he was given ten courages, he would not dare to sit on the seaside with Tian Beixi at such a life-or-death moment. Drinking tea on the terrace of the Ya Chamber of Commerce headquarters, I am afraid that he had already passed through the Zhongzhou Customs controlled by Yang Chenglong and smuggled to the outlying islands and Huoyun State for refuge.

Although Liu Hanxing didn't know the insider trading behind Yang Chenglong's rebellion, it was still very obvious that Yang Chenglong had rebelled.

Facing Liu Hanxing's accusation against Yang Chenglong, Jiang Hua'an bowed his hands again and said: "President Liu's words are wrong. How can you say that I bribed Deacon Yang? Our Haiya Sect has taken root in Haiya City for nearly 7,000 people. In the year, it is also the obligation of our vassal sect to perform service work for the monks of the Infinite Sword Sect stationed at the border!"

Jiang Hua'an's remarks that "stealing books is not stealing books" seemed to be explaining the problem, but his tone was clearly showing off: Your Infinite Sword Sect has been infiltrated into a sieve by me!

"Rebellion, you guys are all rebelling!"

Liu Hanxing was also offended by Jiang Hua'an's confident tone, and the fingers pointing at Jiang Hua'an couldn't help but tremble slightly.

However, Lin Jianxing raised his hand to interrupt Liu Hanxing.

After seeing Tian Daxiao take the initiative to show up, Lin Jianxing realized that the enemy he needed to fight was no longer the Haiya Sect.

So he directly asked Tian Daxiao: "Master Tian, ​​do you really think that Huoyunzhou can interfere in the affairs of Zhongzhou at will? You are just a second-level Nascent Soul monk, aren't you afraid that I will kill you here on the spot?"

Tian Daxiao chuckled and said: "Headmaster Lin, I have no intention of intervening in Zhongzhou affairs, but after all, the Haiya Clan is an important strategic partner of our Shenhuo Sect. Both parties have many similar interests and concerns in the Eastern Ocean trade. We cannot just sit back and watch. You ignore the prevailing rules in the world of cultivation and wantonly oppress the vassal sects. What's more, even if you are willing to go to war with the Shenhuo Sect, will the Wuliang Sword Sect under your command be willing? There are several Nascent Soul Stage monks in your Wuliang Sword Sect who are willing to besiege I?"

Lin Jianxing narrowed his eyes and said: "Yes, no one from the Wuliang Sword Sect is willing to go to war with the Shenhuo Sect, but who in the Shenhuo Sect is willing to go to war with the Wuliang Sword Sect? If you want to kill you, I alone am enough! As the Wuliang Sword Sect, Send the leader to kill the Nascent Soul cultivators from other states who enter the country privately. No one in the Kyushu cultivation world will say that I, Lin Jianxing, did anything wrong!"
