After the old man Hei was shocked, he silently remembered the information Qin Fan said in his heart, and then said:
"Emperor, what should I do next?"
"The first step is to mobilize the power of the Night Mansion to speed up the establishment of the Wangyou Ghost City."
Old Man Hei nodded. He was actually more concerned about how to win this internal war at the moment.
Qin Fan guessed his thoughts and explained:
"What I just said is to let you know which side is our own. This war without gunpowder does not require fighting and killing, and our methods must be gentler."
"Gentle?" The old black man was a little confused.
"It probably means that they will slowly assimilate them through daily interactions, and eventually they will recognize from the bottom of their hearts that they are part of the Wangyou Ghost City."
"Isn't this idea a little too naive?" Old Man Hei said after a moment of silence. After all, what he has to face are two sub-level powerful forces. If they are so easy to assimilate, it is estimated that the Jijiqiao Palace and Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion have long been taken over by others. Ran away.
Qin Fan shook his head and said:
“Naturally, this matter will not be completed so easily, and internal infiltration will definitely continue.
To win it down in one fell swoop requires the right timing and some external help. What I tell you now is just a reminder. "
Of course, Qin Fan didn't say a word. No one knows assimilation better than him. Anyone who cooperates with him or becomes his ally will eventually fall under his command without knowing it.
For example, Zhuque Palace, Yankuang Mountain, and Gongsun Family.
Especially when this chaotic world is approaching, there will be more opportunities for him to take advantage of.
After all, the hardest step has been taken now.
Then Qin Fan raised two fingers and said: "The second step you have to do is to gradually transfer most of Ye Mansion's combat power to the south."
The black old man's eyes hidden under his hood flashed and said:
"Is the Emperor planning to attack Nanxuanzhou Mansion?"
"It's always right to prepare early. If you want Wangyou Ghost City to become a top force comparable to that of One Buddha, One Path and One King, just occupying a Xuanyang Domain is not enough."
"I see."
"Then the last step for the time being is to play your role well.
At this moment, you are the representative of Ye Mansion, and you should fight for what should be fought.
And I am joining Wangyou Ghost City on behalf of Wuyou Villa. You and I are just strangers who have just established a cooperative relationship. "
The black old man frowned slightly and said:
"Emperor, don't you need me to deliberately create some conflicts?"
Qin Fan shook his head:
“A start-up alliance may have some dirty internal forces, but if it engages in too much tit-for-tat at the beginning, it will actually fall behind.
What's more, with my current reputation in the world, if you do some deliberately provocative behavior, she will definitely notice some clues. "
"she?"
"The new pavilion master of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, Yuhuang Xin."
"In the lineage of Protecting the Phoenix, this eldest princess is really a bit tricky, so I probably understand what the emperor means." After thinking for a while, the black old man nodded and said.
"Then you go to Wuligui River first. In four days, the five-party meeting will be officially opened."
After hearing what Qin Fan said, the old man Hei stood up and saluted, but after taking a step, he turned around hesitantly and said:
"Emperor, I just seriously injured Yu Kuixie outside. I didn't cause any trouble to you."
When it came to Jade Phoenix Heart, Old Man Hei already understood why Yu Kuixie appeared here, so he was a little worried about it.
Although Yu Kuixie is just a vicious dog to the Daxuan royal family that comes and goes away at a moment's notice, if something happens outside, it will be difficult to explain.
"It doesn't matter." Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "The timing of your attack was just right, and because you seriously injured him, I suddenly thought of some possibility."
Seeing that Qin Fan had no intention of explaining in detail, the old man Hei didn't ask any more questions. Next, he had to think carefully about the role he could play next.
...
Four days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is also the time for the five-party talks.
The past four days passed uneventfully. Although the players often discussed the reasons for the drastic changes in the celestial phenomena, they soon lost the energy to continue their curiosity due to the large number of daily tasks.
As for the three demons who knew the reason, after having a detailed discussion with Mayor Ahuang, they were dismissed by his words.
Qin Fan met the rootless demon who had become agitated, and increased his friendliness by the way. After all, the other party's loyalty was still worthy of praise.
Although Qin Fan knew that few players had such a thing as loyalty, Wugen Mo Neng chose Wuyou Villa at the moment, perhaps after weighing the pros and cons, or perhaps because of some kind of emotional tie.
In short, it is more practical to talk about loyalty to players than to play lute to a cow.
In the past four days, Qin Fan also took the time to return to Wuyou Villa, but he did not see Feng Mo. According to Qin Zun, he needed to practice further.
According to Qin Fan's guess, Feng Mo was most likely locked up in a dark room.
As for the content of the letter from the Empress Dowager to Qin Zun, Qin Fan didn't ask much. After all, he did a good job in protecting the privacy of the elderly.
It's just that Qin Zunbie said something meaningful, if he is confident, he can let go of some scruples.
Qin Fan pondered this all night. He stayed behind the scenes for a long time not only because he was a weakling before, but also because he was worried that he would attract undue attention by being too ostentatious.
But when Mo Yunlan attacked him before, and when he insinuated King Wuwei in his three questions, he had some guesses.
(See Chapter 94 for some details.)
The pair of eyes that were really staring at him in the dark may have disappeared.
And choosing to become famous in this decisive battle is not to prove this point.
Now that Qin Zun was almost confirmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition, in these short four days, there was another thing that surprised Qin Fan.
...
The banks of the Wuligui River.
A charming woman in a yellow dress was bowing respectfully to Jade Phoenix Heart. Behind her stood a woman, Yao Wanqing, the person in charge of the Xuanyang Domain branch of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion.
At this time, taking advantage of the conversation between the woman in the yellow skirt and Yu Huangxin, Yao Wanqing pulled back her hair one by one seemingly inadvertently, but in fact, she used a secret gesture to identify herself to Qin Fan.
Qin Fan's eyes stayed on her body for three seconds, then he looked at the woman in the yellow dress.
She is one of the three great masters known in Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion. She is the flower falling in the dream and Bi Qingyun.
What concerned Qin Fan more was her attitude towards Jade Phoenix Heart. It was a kind of reverence that could not be faked, or it would be more accurate to describe it with a standardized numerical value.
Her loyalty to Yuhuang Xin definitely reached more than ninety-seven points!
In theory, a hundred points of die-hard loyalty is almost non-existent. In fact, more than ninety-five points can be regarded as absolute loyalty.
Therefore, her performance made Qin Fan's guess, which he thought was inaccurate, more confirmed as fact.
In particular, there is a more critical point, which is also the thing that surprised Qin Fan.
At this time, Qin Fan turned around and looked at the carriage pulled by Pang Da. There was a person lying inside, it was Yu Kuixie who had been seriously injured by the black old man before.
Four days have passed, but the injuries on his body have only improved a little. To be honest, the severity of the injury has probably dropped from 90% to 80%.
Yu Kuixie had even been in a coma for the past four days and only just woke up.
Qin Fan was very sure that Yuhuang Xin should have given him the medicine, otherwise Yu Kuixie might have been on the verge of death.
But the effect of the medicine is only to barely stabilize the injury.
In the past four days, Yuhuang Xin's behavior was very honest, and could even be said to be well-behaved. She stayed in the mansion reading every day and did not cause any trouble to Qin Fan.
Before, Qin Fan would have thought that killing the chicken to scare the monkeys worked, but looking at it now...
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Huangxin, who had finished talking to Bi Qingyun, walked to Qin Fan and said.
Qin Fan replied seriously:
"I figured something out, so I thought we should talk in private."
Yuhuang Xin was silent for a moment and said:
"just you and me?"
"Yes." Qin Fan then looked at Shui Niesheng and Zhang Guyen and said, "In a moment, you and Miss Bi will ride on a bamboo raft and enter the ghost market."
As for Ah Da, Qin Fan arranged for him to continue having fun with Pang Da while guarding Yu Kuixie.
Shui Nisheng and Zhang Guyen nodded, while Bi Qingyun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu Huangxin's look.
Afterwards, only Qin Fan and Yuhuang Xin were left on the river bank, and even the fat bear cart was dragged to the other side by Ah Da.
Looking at the dark river ahead, there seemed to be endless ghosts floating on it, and the rich death aura exuded frightening power.
Yuhuang Xin said with emotion:
"That Fourth Master Xia has put in a lot of effort, and you have a really good relationship with him."
“No matter how good the relationship is, it needs to be profitable.
If the money-attracting effect of Wangyou Ghost Market reaches his expectations, he can take this opportunity to go further. In the future, there will only be Third Master Xia, not Fourth Master Xia. "
Qin Fan heard the temptation in the other party's words, but this was a win-win situation, so it could withstand further scrutiny and verification.
According to Xia Jinyu's growth trajectory over the years, it is not too surprising that he made such a desperate decision, as long as the subsequent returns from the Wangyou Ghost Market are far greater than the initial investment.
It can silence more people who suspect that there is some special relationship between him and Xia Jinyu.
Yuhuang Xin just mentioned it casually. As someone who had read the plan, she knew better that Wangyou Ghost Market had filled an important market, and it was safe to make big money.
Although Xia Jinyu's behavior was a bit out of line, according to her understanding, this business wizard who climbed from the seventh shopkeeper to the fourth shopkeeper step by step often did this kind of behavior.
Then she looked at Qin Fan and said:
"I don't know which step you guessed, just say what you need."
Qin Fan thought for a moment and said:
"Yukuixie's space ring, other than that, don't do anything in Xuanyang Domain."
Yuhuang Xin raised her eyebrows. When she heard Qin Fan's words, she knew that the other party knew her purpose, so she said:
"Where is my flaw?"
“There’s no so-called flaws, it’s just that there are too many strange things.
As the eldest princess of the Daxuan Dynasty, why are you only followed by Yu Kuixie? (Yuhuang Xin mentioned earlier that she met Li Shizhou and went together only when she arrived at Nanxuan Prefecture.)
At first, I guessed that you didn't trust Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, but seeing Bi Qingyun's attitude, it already showed that you can dispatch a trustworthy grand master to protect your safety. "
"I really don't trust Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, otherwise why would I have been discovered by you as soon as I arrived in Xuanyang Domain." Yuhuang Xin gave Qin Fan a deep look.
Qin Fan deliberately pretended not to hear what he meant and continued to talk to himself:
"One more thing, Yu Kuixie came to Xuanyang Territory with a certain purpose, which should conflict with you. It can also be seen from his performance that he is loyal to you, but he is more loyal to the orthodoxy of the Huanghuang lineage.
So along the way, you are giving him a chance and also waiting for an opportunity.
It's a pity that not only does he not have a bright mind, he also has bad luck. "
"Orthodox..." A cold light flashed in Yuhuang's heart. She knew what Qin Fan meant. The controllers of the Huanghuang lineage in the past generations were all contemporary empresses, but something unexpected happened to her.
This is also the key to her distrust of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion. Of course, she does not rule out the possibility that she will find that Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion has been infiltrated into a sieve.
"Another point is that you are not a martial arts wizard. You are far from what you are today with regular practice. Then Yu Kuixie will become much more valuable." Qin Fan only said this. .
This is also the result of the previous trial of Shui Nirvana in Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion branch.
Both Yuhuang Xin and Li Shizhou have reached the realm of Grand Master, and Qin Fan has personally tested the latter through mental coercion.
As for the former, although he has been hiding it, Qin Fan has confirmed this from the moment it was first exposed, and the verification of some subsequent events.
What's more, she dared to travel alone with Yu Kuixie, who was loyal to Empress Xuan, which showed that she was confident.
Therefore, during this trip, Her Royal Highness the Princess came not only for the Red Robed Army, but also to eliminate a problem by the way.
The status of the governor of Xichang is very high for Jianghu people. Even if Qin Fan wants to kill him, he will take great risks. But only for the Huanghuang lineage, his death is the same as death. Almost like a dog.
What's more, it was a dog supported by the Phoenix Protector lineage.
"I can provide some small help." Qin Fan's smile was full of kindness, but the words he said seemed extremely inconsistent with his friendly temperament, "But it will cost extra."
Yuhuang Xin's eyes never left Qin Fan's face, but she ignored the offer of help and said:
"You have guessed so much, then you should also know Yu Kuixie's true purpose."
"Probably to prompt me to cooperate with Queen Xuan, after all, I had an alliance with the Phoenix Protector lineage before.
He deliberately contacted the extraterrestrial visitor, perhaps intending to make him a mouthpiece for both parties. That's why he acted so carelessly and didn't even mind letting me find out.
After all, everyone knows the reputation of the aliens. It doesn't matter if a small person in the Qi Condensation Realm rebels. He should think so, and he also thinks that doing so will not arouse my resentment.
In other words, he has become accustomed to acting this way due to the height he has been standing at. "
Although Qin Fan was still smiling, Yuhuang Xin had noticed that his smile was a little cold.
"So what will you do?"
"Have I already made my choice? Your ideals will not conflict with my goals, so instead of choosing an ally that I am not very familiar with, you are the most suitable one."
Qin Fan's smile became friendly again.
"I will help you build the Ghost City of Forgetfulness, without even getting in the way of your real plans.
I've said it before, I don't trust Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion, and I don't have that much time to sort out who is a human and who is a ghost.
But there is one thing to explain. For at least one year, you have to give me the share of Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion in Wangyou Ghost City. "
Yuhuang Xin said something that surprised Qin Fan, and she also showed a kind smile at this moment.
In Qin Fan's opinion, this might be the other party's reciprocation, and with Yuhuang Xin's understanding of him, he could guess that his purpose of establishing the Wangyou Ghost Market would not be that simple or difficult.
However, further testing is not ruled out, especially if this is a promise based on daily communication, just listen.
After the two looked at each other in tacit understanding, they stopped talking at the same time, and then looked at a light raft emerging from the depths of the Wuli Ghost River.
