Nantang's sudden change of attitude surprised Yun Fan. In his opinion, Nantang will definitely not be a very good talker. And now Nantang has turned his conversation to Yun Fan.

At this time, Nantang had roughly figured out Xia Hui's attitude towards him. Regarding the matter of the secret passage of Liuyun City, it was obvious that Xia Hui did not want to share it with the current Liuyun City Lord. So, Nantang planned to start from Yun Fan's side to see if there was a way to put pressure on Xia Hui through Yun Fan, and then get relevant information about these secret passages.

At the same time. After a-for-tat confrontation with Nantang, Xia Hui began to turn his attention to the furnishings in the study at this time, and tried to find some "shadows of the past" belonging to the Xia family from these furnishings.

Although most of the furnishings in the study of the City Lord's Mansion in Liuyun City have been replaced by Nantang at this time, in the end, Xia Hui still found some "small details" that Nantang ignored.

After Nantang finished saying what he had just said, he no longer focused on Xia Hui, and instead started talking to Yun Fan about business. At this time, Yun Fan's eyes fell on the wine glass that was turning in Nantang's hand.

In the process, Nantang, who was sitting on the main seat, said lightly: "So, Young Master Yunfan suddenly visited in this way. Is it for the sake of what I'm talking about now?"

Yun Fan: "Lord City Lord, it's really like a god. ”

Nantang: "Previously, I sent the killer of the "Ghost Fire" to assassinate Young Master Yun, presumably Young Master Yun should already know about it, right?"

Yun Fan: "Everything is a matter of position. ”

Nantang smiled and did not speak.

Yun Fan continued: "Putting these aside, I have no private grudges with the City Lord. Therefore, this visit to Yun Fan wants to make a deal with the city lord. In a private way. ”

Nantang was puzzled: "Haven't we reached a consensus, what else do we need to do?" Young Master Yun just has something to say, there is no need to hide it. ”

Yun Fan smiled and said, "I hope to be able to get the corresponding deployment of the Mexican Kingdom in this battle in the next battle of Liuyun City." I wonder if the Nantang City Lord is willing to share a thing or two with me?"

Nantang looked at Yun Fan with interest, "Young Master Yun, is this planning to do transactions between the family and the country in a private way?"

Yun Fan nodded: "This is a win-win situation for both the city lord and me." I hope the lord of the castle will think about it. ”

Nantang saw through Yun Fan's mind at a glance, "This is something that only country thieves do." Young Lord Yun is going to inherit the lord of the Su Kingdom in the future, so naturally he doesn't need to care, and Nantang is just a small official stationed in Liuyun City in the north of the Mo Kingdom. I'm afraid I can't count such an important matter. ”

"Then is there anyone else around the City Lord now?" Yun Fan smiled and said, "Others who can make the City Lord trustworthy and can be used." ”

Yun Fan's words were just a temptation.

However, Nantang fell into a short silence because of Yun Fan's words. This detail was also captured by Yun Fan, who silently observed Nantang's emotional changes when Nantang was silent. In fact, Yun Fan's sentence is a pun.

On the one hand, it shows that there are no available people around Nantang, and on the other hand, it reveals that Nantang does not believe in those people around him. This also means that Nantang has invisibly placed itself in a "siege".

Nantang needs someone to help him, but he can't find anyone.

It takes time and experience to build trust.

In contrast, if you can use absolute interests as a link, then it is not difficult to establish a relatively strong cooperative relationship. And now the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Tianwu Kingdom is the best time.

At the beginning, Nantang planned to put pressure on Yun Fan with this. After all, everyone knows that as long as Liuyun City is lost. The entire Jibei will not have any power to fight back. Even the Xia Kingdom, which was far east of Jibei, did not have the absolute strength to deal with the joint attack of the Tianwu Kingdom and the Thousand Thunder Kingdom at the same time.

Right now, Lei Che, the ambitious lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, has even disregarded the life and death of his eldest son Lei Yizhi, and only thinks about taking advantage of this winter to solve the matter of Jibei as soon as possible. If it is delayed until the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year, the advantage that now belongs to the alliance between their Xiji Thousand Thunder Country and Tianwu Country will probably go and not return.

In other words, as long as Lei Che defeats Liuyun City, then his next target must be the last city of the Shu Kingdom in Jibei - "Bright Moon City". Nantang originally planned to use this to persuade Yun Fan to cooperate with him, and coerce Xia Hui to present the secret of the secret path of Liuyun City. After all, dragging the armies of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Tianwu Kingdom in Liuyun City was not a bad thing for the Shu Kingdom.

Since Yun Fan appeared here, Nantang guessed that Yun Fan should have come to visit for this point. But what he didn't expect was that Yun Fan's ambition was even greater than he imagined. What Yun Fan wants is to use this battle of Liuyun City to directly complete the recovery of the Shuguo Jibei.

And now, Nantang didn't realize Yun Fan's ambition. He realized the long-lost tactfulness from Yun Fan's words. This was in great contrast to the decisive Sabe prince he had heard of before.

Without waiting for Nantang to respond, Yun Fan said again: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." I believe that this simple truth, the city lord of Nantang will not not understand. Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so I will pick out some things to say. Regarding the things about those secret passages in Liuyun City, I hope that the Nantang City Lord will not have too many expectations. I don't think these secret passages will help the lord out of this predicament. In contrast, I think there are other things that deserve the attention of the Castle Lord. ”

Nantang said curiously: "Let's say." ”

Yun Fan smiled slightly: "For example, those people of the Mo Kingdom who are 'guests' in Bright Moon City at the moment. Didn't Xuanmo Wufeng tell the City Lord about this? Oh, forgot! As soon as Xuanmo Wufeng arrived in Liuyun City, he was locked up by the City Lord. I don't know if he is lucky enough to return to Mexico later, whether he will report this matter to the Marquis of Mexico. ”

Yun Fan's words made Nantang's face sink instantly. He felt a strong killing intent, although Nantang was somewhat restrained, but Yun Fan had basically determined that this person's skills should be at the level of the "Heart Martial Realm".

This can be said to be the biggest mistake for Yun Fan and Xia Hui. One of the more embarrassing situations is that even if Yun Fan and Xia Hui join forces now, I am afraid that they will not be able to subdue this Flowing Cloud City Lord. This also made Yun Fan lose the opportunity and was distressed about how to get out if the negotiations collapsed.

On the other hand, Xia Hui will take a look at it for a while, and look at it for a while. When Nantang was silent, he noticed Xia Hui's abnormal behavior. However, now his main attention was still on what Yun Fan had just said.

Obviously, Nantang understood the slight threat in Yun Fan's words. This made him think about and weigh a few things. Something he hadn't thought about before. Nantang, who was the lord of Liuyun City, slowly turned the cup in his hand, and only after a long time did he speak: "If Young Master Yun wants to use these people of the Mo Kingdom who were captured by you as bargaining chips for negotiations, then I hope that the young master will dispel these thoughts as soon as possible." Stealing the country, Nantang is unwilling to do it. As for these people of the Mexican Kingdom who were captured by your Su Kingdom, when the time is right, Nantang will return to the lord of the country, saying that they have died in the war. The war brought about by the young master of the clouds. ”

Yun Fan smiled: "It seems that the city lord of Nantang doesn't care about the life and death of these people of the Mo Kingdom. It's just that I'm more curious about what the Marquis of Mo Guohou would think of the city lord if he learned what the city lord of Nantang was doing now. Do you think that when the time comes, will the Marquis of Mo pull the Lord out as a scapegoat?"

Nantang sighed: "The premise is that I have to live until that time." Then I will consider this question of the young master of the cloud. Isn't that the truth, Young Master Yun?"

Yun Fan responded: "As long as the Nantang City Lord cooperates with me, then in the next battle of Liuyun City, I guarantee that the City Lord will be able to survive this winter." ”

Nantang: "What cooperation requires is sincerity. ”

Yun Fan frowned slightly: "What does the City Lord mean is that Yun Fan's sincerity is not enough? Or does what I mention now not impress the City Lord?"

"Both. Nantang said truthfully, "This kind of transaction is not more about what you have, but what I want." Now it is clear that the initiative and choice are in my hands. If Liuyun City is lost, Xiji's army will next target Mingyue City in the Shuguo. At that time, Young Master Yun Fan only had two choices: 'fighting' or 'surrendering'. But then again, now that the city lord has appeared here, he must not plan to 'descend' next. It's a pity that at this moment, Nantang only cares about the secrets of the secret passage of Liuyun City. ”

Yun Fan: "Why is the city lord so obsessed with this matter? Could it be that the mystery of the secret path of Liuyun City can directly affect the success or failure of the next battle?"

Hearing this, Nantang suddenly turned his conversation to Xia Hui, who had been silent for a long time: "I'm afraid I have to ask Xia Hui, the future head of the Xia clan of the Shu Kingdom, General Xia." ”

Xia Hui, who was a little distracted, frowned slightly after hearing Nantang's words. Yun Fan on the side also realized at this time that Xia Hui must still have many secrets secretly hiding from him about this secret passage.

The clear eyes touched Nantang's deep eyes at this moment. She asked Nantang incomprehensibly: "Ask me what to do?" This is a secret that our Xia family has kept for generations, and I advise the city lord of Nantang not to make any more temptations, I will not say it." ”

Nantang smiled and said, "But now, General Xia still shares the secrets that the Xia family has kept for generations to Young Master Yun. As far as I know, since the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" and the "Bright Light Change", there has been a great contradiction between the "Three Friends of Jibei" and the Yun clan in the Shu Kingdom, and this contradiction is now no less than the hatred between the Shu Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom. ”

"The city lord of Nantang is a little alarmist. Xia Hui said lightly, his eyes turned to Xia Hui in the opposite seat, "Xia Hui doesn't care about the entanglements and grievances between these families. As for why I will share the matter of the secret path with this young master of Yun in your mouth. ”

Between the words, Xia Hui's gaze touched Yun Fan.

Yun Fan was stunned for a moment, but heard Xia Hui say: "Now the entire kingdom is pinning its hopes on him. Although everyone has a great prejudice against him, everyone believes that he will take us through the last and most difficult time. ”
