Chapter 406: The Problems of the 2 Great Sects

The Southern Province is almost the Marquis of Côté's back garden. Upon learning of their arrival, the new governor naturally came to visit.

"Let him come over, and also call Mu Bai." Ning Fengzhi arranged.

With Dai Mubai's status, he was naturally not qualified to sit with him. But it was not ruled out that the chief clerk was trying to find out the truth. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wanted to gain a foothold in the Xingluo Empire, it would definitely need their support.

Pulling Dai Mubai over was just a way of showing his attitude.

This time, Dai Mubai can only benefit.

Soon, a man and a horse came to the carriage.

The chief clerk was a portly middle-aged man dressed in official clothes. He dismounted from his horse.

"Bai Li Kuan greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince, greets Sect Master Ning, and greets Sect Master Tang." The middle-aged man bowed and said.

Ning Fengzhi opened the door of the car and invited him into the car.

"Your Highness, the Governor is temporarily unable to get away due to official business, so he asked me to come and visit Your Highness." Baili Kuan said respectfully.

Seeing Dai Mubai chatting and laughing with Ning Fengzhi and others, he roughly believed that Dai Mubai had really taken care of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

"Mr. Baili, please give my regards to the Governor. However, regarding the headquarters of the two major sects, I wonder if the Governor has made arrangements?" Dai Mubai asked.

Previously, in his letter, Marquis Cote had only outlined a range for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Tang Sect's bases. The specific arrangements would depend on the decision of the Governor of the Southern Province.

Baili Kuan clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Governor-General has decided to arrange for the leaders of the Tang Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to be located in adjacent areas. In addition, the Governor-General will arrange for people to help the two major sects build their bases."

Having someone help build the sect’s headquarters will save a lot of expenses, which is a good thing.

After thinking about it, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San and others agreed.

After Baili Kuan finished explaining the matter, he left the carriage and said, "Your Highness, the two clan leaders, I need to go back and report to the Governor. Please arrive at the agreed location first, and someone will meet you later."

Inside the carriage, Yu Xiaogang touched his chin and used his super high IQ to immediately say: "The secret passages and some important buildings in the sect cannot be built by outsiders, otherwise the sect's throat will be grasped by others."

Ning Fengzhi had not thought about this much before. After hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, it was like a revelation. "Master, you are worthy of me. I have never considered this aspect."

Yu Xiaogang stood up straight and said with a smile: "Although Marquis Kurt is willing to cooperate with our plan, we have never met him and don't know what kind of person he is. It is in our best interest to leave a way out."

Dai Mubai didn't think so. "Master, since Marquis Kurt is willing to support me, he will definitely not have second thoughts. I don't think there is any need to be overly cautious."

Yu Xiaogang didn't show anything on his face, but he sneered at Dai Mubai in his heart.

He was not even qualified to sit in this carriage. He was allowed to sit in the carriage just to deal with others. Did he really think he was a big shot?

Tang San curled his lips. If Dai Mubai was not his classmate and the deputy leader of the Tang Sect, he would have been killed for refuting Yu Xiaogang.

"Mu Bai, the teacher is right. We should always be on guard against others."

At first, Tang San felt that Yu Xiaogang could no longer provide him with any help in terms of martial spirit. He had already gradually distanced himself from Yu Xiaogang, but who knew that Yu Xiaogang had such great talent.

Now, the relationship between the master and the disciple seems to be closer than before.

Ning Fengzhi showed a warm smile on his face, "Xiao San, Mu Bai just said it unintentionally."

"Mu Bai, since we have decided to help you fight for the throne, it is better for you not to have your own opinions on some matters."

"The situation in the court changes rapidly, and one could be crushed to pieces if one is not careful. Therefore, if you have any ideas, it is best to discuss them with Ning, Tang San, or Master, and remember not to act rashly."

Although Dai Mubai had never officially been involved in the court, when he returned to the Xing Luo Empire, he sat in on the court for a while and knew that the court was full of struggles.

"Yes, Mubai will remember it." Dai Mubai bowed slightly and said humbly.

……

Five days later, the convoys of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tang Clan entered the agreed territory.

The area designated for them by Marquis of Côté was centered on the "Five Famous Lakes".

When the convoy arrived near Wuming Lake, the Governor of the Southern Province, Wang Heng, personally led people to welcome their arrival.

There was no other way. In this situation, Ning Fengzhi had to push Dai Mubai out.

"Second Prince, two clan leaders, a temporary residence has been built for you. Craftsmen will arrive one after another later."

"The Wuming Lake area will be jointly managed by your two major sects. You can discuss how to divide the jurisdiction."

Originally, the area designated by Marquis Cote included another mountainous area in addition to Wuming Lake. However, Wang Heng's subordinates discovered a lot of metal deposits in that mountainous area.

Mineral resources are an important financial pillar of the province. If he lets the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect or the Tang Sect build their sects there, how can he send people to mine?

However, when two forces jointly occupy an area, how to allocate resources and land is an important issue. Wang Heng has worked hard in the court for many years, so he naturally would not offend people easily, so he threw the problem to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Tang Sect.

"Governor Wang is thoughtful." Tang San and Ning Fengzhi clasped their fists at the same time.

"Two sect masters, I will send someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment later. The map of the Wuming Lake area will be delivered by someone tomorrow. I still have official business to attend to, so it is inconvenient for me to stay longer. Two sect masters, please stay." After saying that, Wang Heng got into the luxurious carriage beside him.

"This guy obviously wants our two major sects to restrain each other." Yu Xiaogang said angrily.

Ning Fengzhi certainly wouldn't fall into his trap with just a few words, but since the two major sects lived in the same area, they should indeed discuss the division of the area.

In terms of sect population, the Tang Sect has a significantly larger population than the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

Judging from the sect's high-end combat power, the Tang Sect is far inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

But if it was divided equally, Ning Fengzhi would naturally be unwilling.

After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has much more foundation than the Tang Sect.

After a long silence, Tang San spoke first: "Uncle Ning, how about this, in addition to the Five Lakes, which we will jointly develop, the rest of the land, according to the barrenness, we will divide it 40% to 60%, with the Seven Treasures Glazed taking the majority."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was determined to take the lion's share, and since Tang San had taken the initiative to offer concessions, Ning Fengzhi naturally had no objection.

The alliance agreement between the two major sects was saved.

Ning Fengzhi said tactfully: "Master Tang San, there is no need to rush. We will make the division after we get the map tomorrow."
