Qingshui Country is afraid of Xiliang City, this is a consensus that has long been formed in the western boundary. Otherwise, after Qingshui Country failed to attack Shuiling Mountain and cede the land to make amends, would it still be able to watch the growth of Xiliang City?

Also, not long ago, this Li Xiao City Lord went to Qingshui Country alone and defeated a famous mountain with Nine Realms monks sitting in town, and Qingshui Country didn't let out a fart.

This is enough to confirm that Qingshui Country is afraid of Xiliang City, and Xiliang City is strong and strong Qingshui Country.

If they were afraid of being hit by the Sun family, they could only face east, but if they wanted to avoid the blows of the Qingshui Kingdom, they could only be vassalized under Xiliang City.

Far water is thirsty, everyone understands this truth.

And this Yao Yan is so close to the city lord of Xiliang City, which is enough to show that even if the relationship between Xiliang City and Qingshui Country is not very good now, they will definitely form an alliance in the future.

At present, Qingshui Country has not closed any passage to Xiliang City, and there are enemies on both sides, but they have always been in a state of mutual trade.

However, will Xiliang City become the second tiger in this western realm? Will they eat invisibly in the future?

No one can say for sure.

The three of them are now extremely embarrassed.

"As far as I know, you three countries have to hand over tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver to the Zhou State every year, right? They don't see you as a kingdom at all, and they won't protect your interests. If you join the Xiliangcheng Alliance, I, Xiliangcheng, will not ask you for a dime from now on. Moreover, there is no way back for you now. Li Xiao said with a smile.

While slapping the face, give sugar at the same time, the effect is remarkable.

The hands and feet of the three men began to tremble.

It seems that the only way to bet on Xiliangcheng is to put the bet on Xiliangcheng.

"I can't make a decision, I have to go back and ask Your Majesty." Liao Wenkang said.

Li Xiao and Yao Yan looked at each other and smiled, this matter was completely done.

The other two also said that they would go back and ask the king.

However, as long as these three people figured out the seriousness of the matter, it would be enough for their monarch to make up his mind to join the Western Liangcheng Alliance.

In fact, they don't have any way out at all, and the strong rise of Xiliang City is already a foregone conclusion.

After all, Qingshui Country couldn't stop the rise of Xiliang City, and Xiliang City had no resistance in the west.

"Then it's in Xiliang City, waiting for the good news of the three of you." Li Xiao smiled at the three of them.

"Then we'll take our leave."

"If you don't send it, the three of you can go." Yao Yan got up and smiled.

After the three left, Li Xiao raised his hand and high-fived Yao Yan in celebration.

With these three countries joining the alliance, the wind direction of the surrounding small countries will definitely be reversed.

"By the way, what is a long-range strike?" Li Xiao asked.

Li Xiao knew that the monk was good at long-range attacks, but he would definitely not be able to exert his power from a distance of 108,000 miles.

"The same as the principle of the flying sword, hang the thunder rune fire charm or other attack means on the flying sword, send it to the target of the attack, and you can complete the long-range strike. However, in terms of consumption, it is not comparable to the flying sword communication. The State of Zhou is currently the only dynasty in the Western Continent that can use flying swords to strike at long range. Yao Yan explained.

Li Xiao understood, it was the same principle as the big dog.

And the consumption that Yao Yan said is huge, far more than Li Xiao imagined.

However, Li Xiao was quite interested in this kind of long-range strike, so he asked, "How big is the consumption?" ”

"Let's put it this way, during the time period when my Qingshui country's treasury is full, I can only support the financial resources of two or three long-range strikes, and if the distance is far enough, it may not be enough once. Actually, this thing is a double-edged sword, and you shouldn't take it too seriously. To a certain extent, it's a paper tiger. Yao Yan said.

Li Xiao nodded, about the matter of long-range flying sword strikes, just have a chance to understand it later.

Now Li Xiao still has one more thing to figure out, and that is the matter of creating spirit crystal money.

"Your Highness, do you know how Spirit Crystal coins can be forged?" Li Xiao asked.

"Well, first of all, you need to have a spirit block, and then you need an alchemist to refine it. Brother Li, why did you suddenly ask about this? Yao Yan asked.

"Where can I find an alchemist who knows how to make spirit crystal money? Do you have Shimizu Country? Li Xiao asked again.

Yao Yan shook his head and said, "Qingshui Country doesn't have spirit crystal veins, and there aren't many countries in Xilu Continent that have spirit crystal veins. The reason why the Great Zhou Kingdom was so strong was because they had the largest spiritual crystal vein in the Western Continent. Warlocks who know how to make spirit crystal money are very few. After all, there isn't much that the West Continent needs. ”

Yao Yan suddenly thought of something, so he stared at Li Xiao and asked; "Brother Li, is there a spirit crystal vein in Xiliang City?"

"I don't have it in Xiliang City, but I can get it." Li Xiao said with a slight smile.

Yao Yan immediately became nervous, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother Li, this matter must not be made public!" This matter must be kept secret, and it must not be revealed at all! Otherwise, the Great Zhou Kingdom would really launch a long-range attack on Xiliang City. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Li Xiao asked.

"That's nature, spiritual resources, that's not ordinary resources. Sell salt and fight with the Sun family, so as not to let the Great Zhou State launch a long-range attack. But let them know that you have the resources to create Spirit Crystals, that's another story. Yao Yan said.

With a spirit crystal vein, there must be no shortage of resources.

It seems that Xiliang City is really destined to rise!

"After Xiliang City has completely gained a firm foothold in the future, let's consider the matter of creating spirit crystal coins." Li Xiao said.

"Preferably, in the meantime, I'll help you find the alchemist." Yao Yan said.

"Thank you over there." Li Xiao arched his hand and said.

"The matter is almost over, go back to Liangjing, I invite you to my house for a drink."

"Okay, call Lord Xu, let's drink together." Li Xiao said.

"Haha, drinking is naturally indispensable to Master Xu, that's an old drunkard." Yao Yan said with a smile.

After the three of them returned to Liangjing, on the Qi Palace, the four of them drank all night.

Wei Xun and Xu Zhiwu were not as open as Li Xiao and Yao Yan, but they also drank arrogant words.

The friendship between Li Xiao and this young prince naturally became acquainted.

The next day, when Yao Yan sent Li Xiao to the ferry outside the imperial city, Li Xiao said that as long as you Yao Yan has something, the flying sword will be sent to Xiliang City, and Li Xiao will definitely come to help.

Yao Yan knew what Li Xiao was referring to, so naturally if he, Yao Yan, overturned like the prince in the future, Li Xiao would be a big help for him.

Only when Yao Yan ascends to the throne can the enmity between Li Xiao and Qingshui Kingdom be completely resolved.

If you want to develop steadily and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, you must have a stable peripheral relationship.

Yao Yan helped in the formation of the alliance. Although Yao Yan said that he was selfish, Li Xiao naturally saw this affection in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

So this friend, Li Xiao naturally made a deal.
