"Oh? Has the stuff been delivered?"
"Yes, City Lord. This time it is a secret method from the Celestial Realm. The disciple has just tested it and there is no problem."
Li Qing stood on a huge terrace, holding a jade slip with both hands, his head slightly lowered. He didn't dare to straighten up until a man in his early thirties who stood in front of him with his hands behind his back reached out and took the jade slip. .
Li Qing looked out in front of him and saw a undulating mountain range, full of smoke and smoke. It was a huge super city. This city is estimated to have a radius of more than a hundred miles!
This place is also Guishi City, one of the five top forces of the Pastoral Sect. And it is the palace of the Lord of Gui Shi City. Standing in front of Li Qing was the lord of Gui Shi City, Shi Jue.
Shi Jue picked up the jade slip handed by Li Qing and unfolded it. After a while, he read the contents and threw it back. He smiled and said, "Have you ever understood how much wealth Haoxuemen still has?"
"City Lord, Xue E of Haoxuemen is very thoughtful. I have tried many times, both covertly and covertly, but I haven't found out the details. But judging from the interval between their deliveries, even if there are still some, there won't be much." After Li Qing answered respectfully, he said Put away the jade slips. Although he doesn't have much use for this thing, it is a good thing for everyone.
"Since there is not much left, I'm afraid this farce is coming to an end. What are your plans for the Foreign Affairs Office?" Shi Jue did not have high expectations for the inheritance of the great world from the beginning. After all, it's too mysterious, and it's not an opportunity that can be measured. It was only based on the conflict between Guishi City and Qingshan Wonderland that it was involved.
Sure enough, there are too many variables later, and the inheritors of the great world are not reliable. The only thing that Shi Jue thinks is good now is that he brought Yunlanyu and Qingxitian to the opposite side of Qingshan Wonderland, adding allies to Guishi City in disguise.
This time it was a "conflict of opinions" at best, or "hair pulling" at worst.
The fighting has been going on for hundreds of years, and it seems to be getting more and more intense, but in fact, neither the Qingshan Wonderland nor Guishicheng have ever fought in person with real swords and guns. They are all just playing around with the first- and second-rate forces under his command. Counting the number of dead people, neither of them had any blood on the other.
Even if Elder Jinxian dies in Qingshan Wonderland and loses most of the combat power of a first-class sect, it still has nothing to do with the three Guishi City families. Shi Jue personally sent a private message to Lin Xiao in Qingshan Wonderland regarding this matter. He believed that Qing Xitian and Yun Lanyu had done the same thing as him. Otherwise, Qingshan Wonderland would not be so calm.
Everyone is waiting for news from the Chaos Faction. To put it bluntly, he was waiting for the missing leader of Cliff Mountain, Zhang Yan, to show up again.
What awaits in Qingshan Wonderland is revenge. Shi Jue was waiting for the opportunity to give Qingshan Wonderland a hard time.
However, over the past seven hundred years, everything seems to have slipped into the most boring direction.
"Reporting to the city lord, the Foreign Affairs Office has discussed that we can gradually withdraw the force deployed at Haoxue Gate. The previous agreement with Zhang Yan is now in name only, and there is no follow-up in sight. So it is not considered a breach of trust. And we can also apply pressure. Further squeeze out the remaining value in Haoxuemen’s hands. If there is really nothing left, there is no need to waste energy on this matter anymore. It can also be regarded as settled.”
"Okay. But there's one more step."
"City Lord, please give me instructions."
"Let Haoxuemen know in advance. Be polite in your words. Since we want to evacuate, we can't do it. Show them the way. If there are roots that you want to keep, you can come to our Guishi City to take care of them. You know what I mean. Is that so?" Shi Jue withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Li Qing beside him.
Li Qing thought for a moment, then a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to understand Shi Jue's request, so he asked tentatively: "The city lord wants to use Haoxue Sect to set an example for all those who don't deal with Qingshan Wonderland in the future." Is there an extra way for all forces to retreat?"
Shi Jue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right. Now Haoxuemen has made a good start for the Pastoral Sect. Qingshan Wonderland has become accustomed to behaving arrogantly and arrogantly over the years, and has caused many blood feuds. Hao If Xuemen is willing to leave his roots to us, we can accept them without any loss, and we will retain his kindness. From now on, we will gain moral benefits regardless of whether the inkstone appears or not.
In this way, those forces that harbor dissatisfaction with Qingshan Wonderland can also follow our lead. If this continues, the foundation of Qingshan Wonderland will be shaken! "
Don’t just think about the present when planning things. What Shi Jue looks at is what happens after ten steps and a hundred steps. The sorrow and resentment between Guishicheng and Qingshan Wonderland is irreconcilable. Instead of taking every precaution, what Ishibori always wanted to do was to get it done once and for all. Haoxuemen is undoubtedly the most suitable opportunity that he has been waiting for for a long time. Naturally, you have to make use of everything inside and out.
Li Qing nodded. The city lord's idea is indeed feasible and has foreseeable great benefits. However, Li Qing still felt that he should be reminded, so after considering his words, Li Qing said: "City Lord, if you do this, it will be equivalent to gathering the rebellion of Qingshan Wonderland. Qingshan Wonderland will never give up, and we are in conflict with it. It may gradually become apparent, and there may even be the possibility of a direct conflict. Do you think we should make some preparations first?"
】
"Preparations are already being made. Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to bring Qingxitian and Yunlanyu together this time? If they participate once, it means there will be many more times in the future. They are not even needed. To stand up clearly against Qingshan Wonderland, you only need to show that you have a close relationship with us.
How dare Qingshan Wonderland jump up and fight us to the end? "
As he spoke, Shi Jue shook his head. He knows the people of Qingshan Wonderland very well. He likes to ask for something in the song rather than take the direct answer. Unless there is no way out, it is impossible to take a risk head-on. This is something Shi Jue has always looked down upon.
Li Qing quickly wrote it down. Suddenly, he understood the city lord's series of calculations. At the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up, as if he had seen the dilemma of Qingshan Wonderland. Indeed, once Qingxitian and Yunlan Sect side with Guishi City, a new situation will form in the Pastoral Sect. Will the good days of Qingshan Wonderland come to an end?
After Li Qing left the city lord's mansion, he immediately began to act according to Shi Jue's request. First, I contacted Yunlanyu and Qingxitian and briefly exchanged some of my views on Haoxuemen. Then he notified Haoxuemen, saying that because the transaction was difficult to continue, Guishicheng was preparing to evacuate and interrupt the transaction process. At the end, he also mentioned that "it can provide limited protection for Haoxuemen."
From Gui Shicheng's perspective, everything went according to their expectations. Whether it is Haoxuemen or Qingshan Wonderland, they are all under control.
Qing Xitian and Yun Lanyu also agreed with Gui Shicheng's view. Almost at the same time, the three families began to gradually withdraw the defensive forces deployed around Haoxuemen.
For a moment, Haoxuemen was like a poor creature shivering in the cold wind, with no one paying attention.
