Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 537 Everyone plans their own plans

"Xue Mu is actually willing to let go of the blockade? Just in exchange for high-level combat power?" In Qixuan Valley, a skinny old man in brocade robes paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "What on earth is Xue Mu thinking?"

Cheng Mozhi, Governor of Yunzhou.

For the rebel party, he was both the central organizer and the "strategist" of the court.

Shi Buyi said: "We all find it strange that Xue Mu's resource blockade has obvious effects and puts a lot of pressure on us. It is unreasonable to give up such a trump card voluntarily. We are wondering if he has a tacit understanding. In fact, he wants to Play more with Mo Xuexin?"

Cheng Mozhi paced back and forth for a long time, not daring to come to a conclusion.

Xue Mu gave people the impression that it was easy to think this way. Mo Xuexin and her three elders all thought so, and the rebels also had the first reaction.

Shi Lei stood aside and said slowly: "No, it's impossible."

Shi Buyi said: "What do you think of Lei'er?"

"Although Xue Mu is lustful and evil, he looks like someone who would do this... But in fact, he has a very clear purpose in doing things. He has reached a tacit understanding with us just to play with Mo Xuexin more. God...such a result will neither gain Mo Xuexin nor the Qixuan Valley, this is not Xue Mu."

Everyone narrowed their eyes.

Shi Lei added: "I think that since he is willing to relax the blockade, he must have other confidence... For example, he is sure that he will still use various newspapers to agitate and mobilize the people of Yunzhou, so that the affiliated companies will not dare to openly approach us. This is more in line with Xue Mu’s way of thinking and doing things.”

Cheng Mo said: "What my nephew said makes sense. Xue Mu is used to using various public opinion and diplomatic methods to control people's hearts and is extremely confident. He is indeed very likely to think that we are not his opponent at all in the competition for resources. After all, he is rebellious No matter what you say, it makes no sense."

Shi Buyi breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, that's easy to say. No matter how talented he is, he can't win over people's hearts. We have a lot of room for maneuver."

Cheng Mozhi nodded. At this moment, he considered several administrative measures. It would not be difficult at all to fight against Xue Mu in Yunzhou. Then he added: "Then I can handle this matter. The first thing Mr. Shi needs to do is to pay attention to the safety during the prisoner exchange. You must know that after the prisoner exchange, it is a state of war. Even if you are attacked on your return, it cannot be said that he has breached the contract."

Shi Buyi smiled and said: "Of course we will be careful about this. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this. The strength of the two sides is deadlocked. The current competition direction is resources and people's hearts. Once Mo Xuexin dares to intercept and kill the prisoners, she will The image of justice created will immediately collapse, and the onlookers and colleagues in the valley will no longer stand on her side, so on the surface, they must be generous and let all the captives return to the valley."

Shi Lei said: "That is true, but they may kill the person who presided over the prisoner exchange. We must consider who should be responsible for the prisoner exchange. If you go there if you are not strong enough, you may be intercepted; if you go there if you are too strong, the valley will be empty. Be careful they come straight into the valley."

Yun Qianhuang, who had been sitting nearby with his eyes closed and concentrating, said: "Of course I am going. I have an appointment with Xue Mu. I will give him an answer when the prisoners are changed tomorrow... Anyway, he can't ambush me."

Speaking of this, Shi Buyi's expression became a little unsightly: "Does Brother Yun really intend to cooperate with Xue Mu? Xue Mu's empty promises, even whether the desert can pave the way is still unknown, how can Brother Yun take it seriously? ?”

Yun Qianhuang shook his head and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, of course Yun will not have high expectations for such an unknown quantity. Just blocking the desert is not the solution. I must reach other exchanges with Xue Mu."

Shi Buyi's face looked better, he nodded and said, "We will try to make Brother Yun have no worries."

Cheng Mozhi said casually: "The situation of Guizong is different from that of Qixuan Valley. Qixuan Valley has no status now, so the court can't openly assist. However, Kuang Shamen can completely achieve official communication. Xingyue Sect can also block the court." ?”

Yun Qianhuang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."

Shi Buyi suddenly said: "Xue Mu may intercept and kill our people, why can't we intercept and kill Xue Mu's people? There is a cauldron in the valley to rely on, and the strength of the guard is about the same..."

A voice came from the darkness: "We will act according to the opportunity. If we can kill Xue Mu, hehe..."

The hall fell silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly it seemed that there was no problem. They were defensive and offensive, and prepared in many ways. Xue Mu only had that much strength at hand. Could Xue Qingqiu suddenly appear in seclusion?

Only Shi Lei still frowned, always feeling uneasy.

Shi Buyi asked: "What is Lei'er thinking about?"

"No... there's nothing wrong with thinking about it, but I'm always uneasy." Shi Lei shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm too preoccupied. Xue Mu has never liked or been good at armed battles. He should really put his plans into future politics. Economic public opinion and people's hearts, that's what he's good at."

Cheng Mozhi stroked his beard and smiled confidently: "In these aspects, he may not be your Majesty's opponent."

…

In the early morning, Mo Xuexin opened her eyes.

There was nothing around her, Xue Mu actually got up earlier than her, and she didn't know where she went. Mo Xuexin looked at the sky, maybe she couldn't sleep for two hours?

Thinking about last night, she still felt extremely ashamed. It was just that Qin Wuye watched the whole thing while she was doing it. She didn't know why there was no objection on the spot. She always felt that she had been in a daze these past few days, completely following Xue Mu's rhythm. As if he has completely lost his independent thoughts, he does whatever he says, from official matters to private matters...

If this continues, he will be no different from a puppet...

Why is this so? Where did all my pride and aloofness go? After being the overlord of one party for many years, where did the courage and decisiveness go?

Why can't I show off at all in front of him? I look so confused.

Maybe it's just because I have been relying too much on him these days... When everything settles, maybe it will be fine... He also said that it is very likely that this will be the last night.

After this time, can you get rid of it completely? Treat this period of time as a nightmare?

Mo Xuexin didn't know what she was thinking, so she put on her clothes and got out of bed with a sigh. When he walked out of the door, he heard Xue Mu's voice faintly coming from the yard.

Her heart twitched, and the feeling in the cave allowed her to clearly judge who was outside.

Xue Mu, Xiao Qingwu...and Zhu Chenyao.

What she fears most is Xue Mu coming into contact with Zhu Chenyao!

Xue Mu's voice came: "...Have you remembered everything?"

Xiao Qingwu's voice said: "I remember, it's so simple."

"The one I can't trust the most is you!"

Mo Xuexin pursed her lips. He got up early in the morning and was making arrangements. He was really trying his best. She was still guarding him and Yao'er...

"Hmph." Xiao Qingwu said: "Will your arrangement make people feel like they are going back on their word, Master..."

"After the prisoner exchange, the state of war has begun. Do you really think they will be defenseless? But you may not expect that I intend to decide the outcome in a battle... After all, I, Xue Mu, have never been someone who likes to arrange battles. I have a strong label."

Zhu Chenyao's voice said: "You... you'd better not go by yourself, it's very dangerous. If the prisoner exchange is followed by war, they will kill you first..."

Xue Mu's voice sounded surprised: "Oh? Ice Fairy cares about me?"

Zhu Chenyao said angrily: "You are doing it for Qixuan Valley, Chenyao has a conscience!"

Xue Mu smiled and said: "Then let's continue the unfinished business that day?"

Mo Xuexin gritted her teeth and was about to intervene to disrupt the situation, but she heard Zhu Chenyao say: "You are now my master, please respect yourself!"

Mo Xuexin staggered, feeling ashamed and angry.

Xue Mu chuckled: "Okay. Since I am your master, I will not hide behind and let your master fight for his life. Regardless of my poor strength, there are some things that cannot be done without me."
