Chapter 256: Win-win cooperation

"Really?" Mei Xuan couldn't hold back and asked excitedly.

Xiao Wu also looked at Wu Xie with an extremely complicated expression, he didn't expect that the joke he mentioned casually at that time would now come true, but this also made him extremely puzzled about Wu Jie's behavior.

Su Yi couldn't help muttering, "Aren't you losing in this way?"

Mei Xuan calmed down a little at this time, thought about it, then took a light breath, and asked rhetorically, "Is the city lord really joking?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said calmly: "I always take what I say seriously and never joke. ”

Mei Xuan's eyes twitched directly, and like Xiao Wu, he also showed an extremely puzzled expression, and asked, "But is your bargaining chip a bit too big, city lord?"

"What's the matter? Xiaoyao Pavilion didn't dare to take it?" Wu Xie felt a little amused by this.

Mei Xuan didn't answer, he agreed with Wu Jie's words, to tell the truth, this chip is really too big, so big that Mei Xuan doesn't dare to take it easily, the domain is a unique existence between heaven and earth, there are only a few famous ones in the world, and there are only seven domains as big as the spiritual domain, basically each has a master, except for one.

Five places and seven domains, the north occupies three of them, which can be regarded as unique, among which the spiritual domain has always been occupied by the craftsman city, this city with a history of thousands of years, now with Wu Xie alone, there is the capital to monopolize the spiritual domain.

But if the spiritual realm belonged to Xiaoyao Pavilion, she had to think about how to defend this domain, or whether Xiaoyao Pavilion had the ability and qualifications to occupy this spiritual domain.

Otherwise, in the end, it will be a failure, and the loss will be great.

Mei Xuan paused for a moment, the expression on his face was still a little confused, he didn't answer Wu Jie's question, and instead asked: "Can the city lord tell me why you want to use the Spirit Domain as a bargaining chip, it is one of the seven domains, not an ordinary small domain." ”

Wu Xie replied flatly: "I have my reasons. ”

Xiao Wushi couldn't bear it, and asked directly: "This is the spiritual domain! a rare spiritual domain in the world, it is also the foundation of the craftsman city!"

Wu Xie shook his head and replied: "The craftsman city is the craftsman city, the spirit domain is the spirit domain, if there must be something fundamental, at most it is the foundation of the city lord's mansion, it is not the foundation of the craftsman city, the craftsman city is not the craftsman city without this spiritual domain? After so many years, the craftsman city is still the craftsman city, on the other hand, the spirit domain is still just a spirit domain, in fact, the relationship between the two is not so close as you think, how many of those people who come to the craftsman city now are because of the spirit domain?"

Wu Jie's words made Xiao Wu unable to persuade again, and then looked at Mei Xuan on the side, as if asking, waiting for Mei Xuan to make a decision.

Mei Xuan was also silent at this moment, and continued to think, thinking about how to deal with this sudden windfall.

"How? I don't know if a few people are willing to accept this bargaining chip?" Wu Xie asked again.

Mei Xuan frowned, nodded slowly, and said with a wry smile: "For Xiaoyao Pavilion, it would be great if he could have a spiritual domain, this is a bargaining chip that is difficult to refuse, but this is a bit too sudden, and it may even disrupt Xiaoyao Pavilion's future plans, originally I thought that the city lord would only come up with a few promises." ”

Wu Xie smiled slightly, "Even so, then go ahead." ”

Mei Xuan nodded and continued: "Since the city lord is willing to take out such a valuable thing, then Xiaoyao Pavilion must need to do more things, right? ”

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face slowly changed from relaxed to solemn, and said in a low tone: "I hope that Xiaoyao Pavilion can come to the bright side in the northern realm, and even surpass the martial pavilion and sword pavilion, and become the real force in the northern realm." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately fell silent, and no one dared to answer, because this was completely different from the purpose pursued by Xiaoyao Pavilion over the years, and it could even be said to be diametrically opposite.

Mei Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and his face was a little ugly and said, "City Lord, you are difficult for a strong man." ”

Wu Xie shook his head, "This is the price of the Spirit Domain, I only ask you to be like this in the Northern Realm, not all of the five lands, in fact, this way is a good thing for you, so that you can seek greater benefits in the past few years, instead of relying on others and picking up cheap behind them." ”

Xiao Wu's face was slightly solemn, "I understand what you mean, but the current layout of Xiaoyao Pavilion is all about mutual benefit, and there are no strong requirements for those people, if you want to change the situation, if you forcibly stand on the table, many people will definitely not cooperate with Xiaoyao Pavilion again, and even stand on the opposite side of us, it hurts a little to cut off this piece of meat!"

"And compared to those giant-level sects, Xiaoyao Pavilion doesn't have so many grandmasters to support us in doing this. Mei Xuan added.

Wu Xie pointed at himself and said, "What if you count the Craftsman City again?

Mei Xuan's mouth opened, a sentence was blocked in her throat, and she swallowed it again, frowned, and then said with a little bitterness on her face: "This is enough, but the craftsman city is the craftsman city, and the Xiaoyao Pavilion is the Xiaoyao Pavilion." ”

Xiao Wu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Mei Xuan and said, "If you want to cooperate with the two parties, it's not impossible, but in this case, the three of us can't make a decision." ”

Wu Xie nodded, "It doesn't matter if you can't shoot, you can ask Lan Shan, or that old man, anyway, it's not in a hurry now, there is more time." ”

Mei Xuan said apologetically: "This matter really needs to be decided by Lord Lan, and there is no need for the other adult to disturb him." ”

"In addition to this request, I have a few small requests that you can report along with. Wu Xie said.

Mei Xuan nodded, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Wu Xie snorted, "The first thing I want you to do is to find out what my senior brother understands." ”

Mei Xuan immediately chuckled, his eyes were also full of mist, and his whole person's expression also changed and changed, and finally nodded slowly, "If you don't say this, I will do it too, and I will definitely find out all this." ”

After saying this, Mei Xuan's people became a lot lower, and it seemed that the news of her death had also dealt a big blow to her, Wu Xie saw this in his eyes, and sighed helplessly, "If you want to see people alive, you have to see corpses when you die." ”

"To live to see a man and to die to see a corpse. Mei Xuan also repeated this sentence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly a lot lower, Xiao Wu quickly diverted the topic, "What about the other requirements?"

Wu Xie turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, then glanced at Mei Xuan again, and asked, "I heard that you also have a layout in a small place in the northern border?

Mei Xuan didn't think about it and refused directly: "This can't work, it's not something I'm responsible for, this is a bureau set up by Lord Lan himself, and I can't be the master." ”

Wu Xie paused thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Then you tell Lan Shan directly, and I will definitely participate in this matter." ”

Mei Xuan's face changed suddenly, and he asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the city lord has already been in contact?"

Wu Xie shook his head, "I haven't touched it, but I've seen it, you guys are very good, and you have already governed that small country well, but it's a pity that that mine is still the territory of the Sword Pavilion, and it may be a little difficult for you to take it over at that time? And the longer it drags on, the less benefits you can get." ”

Hearing Wu Xie say this, Mei Xuan didn't plan to hide anything anymore, and said directly with relief: "There is no need for the city lord to worry about this, that place is an unexpected joy, Jiang Tian was just a supernumerary member of Xiaoyao Pavilion before, and at that time he just asked him to find some information, who knew that he actually took it upon himself to get an official and a half-position in that small country, and it seems that he is doing very well." ”

"What kind of place to find information?Mei Xuan, do you have something to say?" Wu Xie said with a smile.

Xiao Wu said lightly: "Jiang Tian is really an unexpected joy, I don't know if you still remember that before the discovery of this spirit stone mine, there was a big event in that vicinity." ”

Wu Xie frowned and thought for a while, "What's the big deal in that place?"

"There are two Upper Three Qing Sect Masters who have fallen, and they are in that place. Xiao Wu said lightly.

"Is there such a thing?' Grandmaster has fallen?" Wu Xie felt a little surprised.

Xiao Wu nodded, "That's right, it is said that it was two to one at the time, and then two were killed and one was injured, their purpose seemed to be a little girl, this thing is really a coincidence, the most important of these little girls later became Lu An's little friend, and then was taken away by the dragon of the Sword Pavilion." ”

Wu Xie frowned directly, and said in extreme surprise: "There is such a thing?"

Xiao Wu nodded, "It's this kind of thing, it happened too suddenly, the three of them fought all the way from the territory of Great Zhou to the vicinity of Ningguo, thanks to the blessing of the three of them, they discovered that mine, and the Sword Pavilion could make a windfall." ”

"Why, who is that little girl?" Wu Xie continued.

Xiao Wu shrugged his shoulders, "Not surprisingly, that little girl should be the grandson of Sword Pavilion Su Wuyi, and the one who protected the little girl and died in the end was Suning, who should be in the Zhongzhou Su Jiayu Qingjing." ”

The expression on Wu Jie's face suddenly became extremely strange, and some things appeared in his mind, but it seemed that something was still missing, and he didn't put it together.

Xiao Wu also stopped when he saw Wu Xie is expression, he felt that Wu Xie didn't seem to be very interested in it.

Mei Xuan answered at this time: " At that time, such a thing happened, so we sent someone to go there to find out the reason, but it didn't take long to find out the mine, and then it attracted a lot of people at once, and at that time, the news about that place was the highest when it sold ten spirit crystal essences, and it also made Xiaoyao Pavilion earn a little, but later the Sword Pavilion entered strongly, and also fought against Taiyizong, and fought fiercely, Chu Qingliu was directly beaten out of the north by the dragon, and the older generation instigated it back, and the younger generation of Taiyizong appeared at this time, and this incident is also one of the causes。 ”

"The matter has passed like this?Didn't the Sword Pavilion pursue that matter?A good Jade Qingjing was killed by someone else like this, and the Sword Pavilion just forgot about it?" Wu Xie asked directly.

Xiao Wu said: "The Sword Pavilion has been so strong in recent years, this may be one of the reasons, but who are those two people, there is no information, there is no clue at all, and now the Xiaoyao Pavilion still hangs the task they gave us, a hundred spirit crystal essences, but unfortunately we can't even find a little information, the only person who saw a few people fighting at that time seemed to be called Jiang Bao, and when we reacted, after notifying the Sword Pavilion, that person fled directly from that Wu country, and now a few years have passed, and I haven't seen that person show up." ”

Mei Xuan also followed up, "Actually, the Su Pavilion Lord has always been very concerned about this matter, although he has always had such a bad face that is not salty or light, but his own only granddaughter has been designed like this, it is impossible not to be angry, but unfortunately he can't find an opponent, so he regards Taiyizong as an imaginary enemy, which is why Chu Qingliu was beaten so badly." ”

Wu Xie nodded, "To be honest, I really don't know about this matter, I just heard that there is such a thing at the time, but I didn't expect that there are so many entanglements in it, so what about now?

Mei Xuan and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, then nodded to each other.

Mei Xuan said lightly: "City Lord, if we hadn't basically reached this negotiation, we wouldn't have talked to you about this matter. ”

Wu Xie suddenly became interested, and there was an expression on his face that I had already guessed, and he quietly waited for Mei Xuan to speak.

"The north will be chaotic, if you want to bet, Da Zhou must be hopeless, we have no interest in Dashang, and he has not penetrated very deeply, and he always sees the wind and rudder, unreliable, can only be said to be a little hopeful, in the end there is a big man left, but how to say? Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Dahan is a little strong now, but it is not the kind that is unrivaled by the strong, and his internal power structure is very corrupt, if several problems erupt together, he may be the first dynasty to collapse among the three dynasties, so eggs can't be put in one basket, in addition to these three, we still have a small speculation, maybe there will be a miracle. Mei Xuan explained.

Wu Xie laughed directly, "In other words, you want to rely on you to recreate a dynasty, an empire that can annex the existing three major dynasties?"

Mei Xuan shook his head, "Xiaoyao Pavilion never does things that dominate others, but it can give a certain amount of support, of course, this support is material and news support, what can become of the future, in fact, we don't know." ”

Wu Xie laughed a few more times, then stopped, looked at Mei Xuan, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that your Xiaoyao Pavilion has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, if you really succeed in this matter, then you will really own the entire northern realm." ”

Mei Xuan shook his head again, "It's not what the city lord thinks, of course, the cooperation you mentioned to be honest, we have the same thing, so we haven't refused, of course, there are also reasons for the spiritual realm, this may still be a big head, the city lord's final bet must be a big man, right?"

Wu Xie nodded, "I don't seem to have a better choice than that." ”

Mei Xuan kindly reminded, "City Lord, in fact, I don't think you should do your best to do this, if the luck of the Great Han is there, then you can naturally carry it, if it is already dissipating, then isn't the City Lord going against the sky?"

Wu Xie seemed to suddenly realize this one, but he still shook his head, "Actually, I'm not interested in the final success or failure, I'm very interested in the process here, especially those people who are hidden under the surface, I'm particularly interested in them!"

Wu Xie said this, and the three people present directly quieted down.

Su Yi was the first to speak: "City Lord, you mean those people who are full of smoke, right?

Mei Xuan glared at Su Yi again and scolded: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

Su Yi pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders.

"Wu Jie, I advise you to take a long-term view of this matter, and don't hit the stone with an egg. Xiao said without worry.

"Hit the stone with an egg, that's true, that's my last request! You promise to help me find them, then the spiritual realm is yours. Wu Xie said with a wry smile.

Mei Xuan's brows furrowed very tightly, she hesitated for a long time for this last request, he had heard of these people, but he had never seen them, he only knew that they were hidden very deeply, and they might not even show up for a hundred years, extremely mysterious, but their strength was extremely strong.

Therefore, Mei Xuan must think about this possible price, from the chips to the price that needs to be paid, as well as the subsequent layout of Xiaoyao Pavilion in the north, all these things appeared in Mei Xuan's mind and changed one by one.

Even the worst-case scenario and the best outcome were all imagined, and the situation that the Pavilion might face was also imagined.

In the end, Mei Xuan exhaled slowly, looked at Wu Jie, and nodded slowly, "I can make Lord Lan increase the certainty of this matter by three percent, but whether it can be done in the end, I'm not sure." ”

Wu Xie nodded, "It's better to be sure than nothing." ”

Mei Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the last request made by the city lord, I could even agree to this matter in advance." ”

Wu Xie got up directly, "After the matter is over, let's do it first, and then tell me when we have the exact information." ”

Mei Xuan also got up and bowed slightly to Wu Jie, "City lord walk slowly." ”

Wu Xie nodded, then glanced at the other two, and then left directly from the wine shop.

After Wu Xie left, Mei Xuan's expression immediately turned cold.

"Lord Xiao has really made a big deal for the Xiaoyao Pavilion this time, if it can really be done smoothly this time, I have to respectfully call the deputy pavilion master, right?" Mei Xuan sneered.

Xiao Wu's face turned red, and he said without any shame: "How would I know that this is the situation, I said Ah Xuan, don't tease me as an old man, let's go and report to Lord Lan as soon as possible, the situation in the north has become too fast, it is true that we should make arrangements as soon as possible, otherwise the soup will not be drunk, there have been too many sects here recently, and they all seem to have come prepared." ”

Mei Xuan snorted, he also felt this situation, and sighed inexplicably, this sigh was very long, very far-reaching, and seemed to have a faint nostalgia...
