Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 535: Xue Mu’s Aspects

Shi Buyi, who had received the news from the capital here, looked solemn. The trend of this rebellion had completely lost control after Xue Mu's intervention.

Zhu Chenyao didn't catch it...Mo Xuexin didn't control it...even the bottom line of forcing him to flee elsewhere was not achieved. Mo Xue led his troops to station in Yunzhou City. It was not a regime in exile, but a confrontation.

Under this situation, Xue Mu's "status" and "isolation" became a fatal death knell.

All the affiliated sects and self-operated industries of Qixuan Valley in Yunzhou will not pay attention to the valley at all, but will transfer their resources to Mo Xuexin. And the external communication within the valley has been completely cut off, and sooner or later it will become a rootless water, which will collapse without attack.

Of course, it is not difficult for them to break the blockade. After all, the six channels of the Demon Sect cannot lock the entire Yunzhou. With their superior strength, they can personally escort a channel. There will be no problem in communicating with the court or other sects. But this means that Mo Xuexin and Xue Mu have a clear attack point, and they don't have to storm the thousand-year base with a cauldron to rely on, moving the battle outside the valley.

Fighting outside the valley, who can withstand Mo Xuexin and Qin Wuye? It is impossible for Yun Qianhuang to stay here for a long time.

Shi Buyi suddenly felt that Xue Mu's prisoner exchange proposal was a bit strange.

If this trend continues, Xue Mu does not need to exchange any prisoners at all. He only needs to continue to isolate and blockade, continue to engage in diplomacy with other sects, and guard it for a year and a half. The hearts of the people in the valley will be in chaos and he will be defeated without a fight. What does it matter whether there are hostages or not?

Why is Xue Mu still willing to lift the blockade in exchange for prisoners?

Does he think this blockade is actually useless? Why not use it in exchange for combat power?

Xue Mu did not give him time to think, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Elder Shi? We will lift the resource blockade and release your disciples, and you will release all the prisoners including senior combatants. Let me remind you first. , this is the bottom line, Xue will not accept any counter-offer, if it works, it will work, if it doesn’t work, we will break up.”

Shi Buyi confirmed: "When General Manager Xue refers to lifting the blockade, does he mean that there are no restrictions on circulation throughout Yunzhou?"

Xue Mu smiled and said, "Yes, even for the affiliated sects, we compete legitimately for resources."

Shi Buyi and Shi Lei looked at each other and nodded.

In fact, the affiliated sects are obviously more inclined to rebel against the party. This is determined by their nature. What everyone wants is to be honored locally, rather than putting righteousness first as Mo Xuexin demands. This is the basis for the rebel party to gain a foothold. If Xue Mu dares to let go of this, the balance will soon tip back and Mo Xuexin will turn into duckweed again.

Could it be that Xue Mu actually rebelled against the party? In order to play with Mo Xuexin for a long time?

Even the third elder behind Mo Xuexin couldn't help but have this suspicion. But Mo Xuexin remained expressionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Okay." Shi Buyi finally said: "Tomorrow at noon, you and I will exchange people here."

"Happy." Xue Mu said, stroking his hands, "Okay, then I will also discuss the blockade issue with Sect Leader Yun."

Yun Qianhuang's expression changed: "The relief you mentioned does not include my desert?"

Xue Muqi said: "What do the agreed Qixuan Valley and Yunzhou Territory have to do with the desert? Did Kuang Shamen join the Qixuan Valley? It is clearly a matter between the two sects..."

Shi Buyi and Yun Qianhuang's expression became ugly at the same time.

The resource problem faced by Kuangshamen is actually more serious than Qixuan Valley.

Kuangshamen is located in a remote desert, with a harsh environment and a shortage of resources. Fortunately, they have gold mines, and there are often various secret realms with special things under the desert, so they can exchange a large amount of resources from the middle of the earth.

In short, they were unable to be self-sufficient. When they wanted to be independent, the first thing they did was to consult with Mu Jianli on business issues. In the current situation, with the Wenjian Sect in the east blocked and the Xingyue Sect in the south cut off, they, Kuang Shamen, had no choice but to be trapped in the desert holding their gold.

Xue Mu said leisurely: "So it's very simple. I'll lift the blockade of the desert. How about Sect Leader Yun just go back and enjoy the blessings?"

Shi Buyi and Yun Qianhuang blurted out in unison: "This is impossible!"

Shi Buyi continued: "Just recently, Brother Yun has been participating in the tripod for many days and gained quite a lot. The disadvantages of Mr. Xue's resource blockade will only appear after several months. How can we actually participate in the tripod?"

Hearing this made me a little anxious, and he quickly talked about the pros and cons, for fear that Yun Qianhuang would be persuaded to leave by Xue Mu.

Yun Qianhuang waved his hand: "Brother Shi, don't be anxious. I am not a person who goes back on my word. I will finish what I promised myself."

Shi Buyi breathed a sigh of relief and heard Xue Mu laugh and say: "How about I add more money? I know that all the tribes in the desert have become popular in drinking tea in recent months, but the price is as good as gold, which is extremely rare. It just so happens that I do this thing Yes, and our Lingzhou is a gathering place for commerce and trade, with everything. Our two sects can definitely establish better trade relations. We can provide tea, silk and various weapons and armors in exchange for desert specialties to your sect, how about it?"

Yun Qianhuang pursed his lips and stopped talking.

It could be seen that he was a little moved. How can sporadic and spontaneous trade maintain long-term and stable exchanges with the Xingyue Sect?

Shi Buyi said anxiously: "We can do it too! It's just a little further away! We can still give in!"

"Is it too far?" , Are you embarrassed to talk about trade? Why do you trade with the desert? Ha..."

Shi Buyi's face turned red after being said, and when he was about to counterattack, Xue Mu quickly cut him off: "Speaking of this, I remembered a new proposal, Master Yun, don't you want to listen?"

Yun Qianhuang said seriously: "Mr. Xue, please tell me."

"I'm looking for the Shenji Sect to do research. If we can lay a cement road in the desert, or try to lay a track... If it can be done, our Xingyue Sect is willing to contribute money and efforts to help build this heavenly road. Yun Sect's idea How about the next one?"

Yun Qianhuang's whole body moved, and he almost stood up, but he held it back for a while, and said solemnly: "Thousands of miles of wind and sand in the desert, dust storms everywhere, what can't be done, even if it can be done, it will be easily damaged and cannot be maintained. Even if it can be done, it will be easy to damage. Yes, this fee will cost both you and me, Mr. Xue... please don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not just talking nonsense. As long as I can do it, I have my own reasons." Xue Mu smiled: "I heard that there are mountains with black oil in the desert? Or pools and wells? The kind that can light fire?"

Yun Qianhuang said seriously: "Yes."

"Your Majesty gave me a piece of permanent mining rights in Heiyou Mountain, and I am willing to bear half of the cost of paving the road. We can cooperate in this matter." Xue Mu said lightly: "Although Xue did some bad things, he never broke trust with others. Sect Master Yun can take a look at the records."

"Marquis Changxin... I can trust him..." Yun Qianhuang swallowed.

Compared to the ginseng cauldron, which may not necessarily be of any use, the opportunity for the development of the entire sect to take off is what a sect leader really values. Once it is completed, it will be the most colorful generation of holy masters in the history of the sect, except for the founder of the sect, for all generations to worship. The chance of joining the Way is slim and unpredictable, but the chance of lasting fame is right in front of you!

Shi Buyi said anxiously: "Brother Yun..."

"Don't worry..." Yun Qianhuang waved his hand and took a deep breath: "Mr. Xue, can you allow me to think about it?"

Xue Mu smiled slightly: "When the prisoners are exchanged at noon tomorrow, Xue hopes to hear Sect Master Yun's reply."

Yun Qianhuang nodded silently and said no more words.

Xue Mu's eyes fell on Zhen Canyue, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect: "Zhen Canyue, let's talk too?"

Shi Buyi almost cried, what are you trying to do? This is a prisoner exchange negotiation. How did it become your diplomatic meeting?

After watching the show for a long time, Qin Wuye finally couldn't help but smile.

The most special thing about Xue Mu has never been how strong his strategy is, but how he can always strangely invent interests and build a basis for cooperation with others.

Even the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, which have been at odds and unruly for thousands of years, can be kneaded together by Xue Mu. How can these forces with their own agendas block Xue Mu's control?
