Mo Haolin didn't move a step, but kept staring at Zhang Guyen with a slightly dull look.
"I have been sold to Qin Fan by her."
Zhang Guyen shook his head slightly and said:
"You are not a commodity."
"Then why..." Mo Haolin felt a surge of anger surge into his heart, but he soon forced himself to calm down.
Although the cave they were in was equipped with a formation to mask the breath and sound, if he was carried away by anger, he would definitely be discovered by Jade Phoenix Heart.
He didn't know how he should face Yuhuang Xin, his nominal master, and a woman who wanted to take his life.
"I want to talk to Qin Fan."
"It's not necessary. The owner of the village has already said before that you can leave after you have heard what you need to hear here." Zhang Guyen said coldly.
Mo Haolin clenched his fists and looked a little stubborn. Now he understood that Yuhuang Xin wanted to kill him because his existence prevented him from controlling the Red Robe Army.
But he didn't understand why Qin Fan would protect him and then ignore him!
So he must ask clearly!
"Will you rebel against the Daxuan Dynasty for the owner of the village?" Zhang Guyen suddenly asked.
"No!" Even if Yuhuang Xin wanted to kill him, and the current Daxuan royal family had almost completely forgotten about it, he would not be able to abandon his original intention.
He is a soldier of Daxuan, and this will not change due to any circumstances.
"Then how far will you go for the village owner?" Zhang Guyen continued to ask.
"I...don't know." Mo Haolin was silent.
"You can't even find your location, why are you going to ask the village owner?" Every word Zhang Guyen said was like a sharp blade piercing Mo Haolin's chest.
"What does he want me to do?" Mo Haolin raised his head and looked directly into Zhang Guyen's indifferent eyes.
"What you did originally is what you will do again in the future, so the village owner never wanted to see you from the beginning because it was not necessary.
However, the future military expenses for the Red Robe Army will be paid by Wuyou Villa."
Zhang Guyen looked at the other party's puzzled expression and said.
Mo Haolin's eyes became much firmer at this moment: "I have money!"
"Ha... don't be naive, what is that little money enough for? Is the pension of the Red Robed Army alone enough? Especially compared with those casual cultivators who died on the battlefield." Zhang Guyen sneered.
road.
These words made Mo Haolin lower his head, and his eyes gradually turned gray. If the original pension was based on it, it would definitely be enough, and there would still be some leftover.
But as Qin Fan entrusted the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and the Jiuzhou Escort Bureau to personally send pensions to the families of the deceased casual cultivators, and made detailed arrangements for the follow-up.
In Mo Haolin's opinion, that little money was not enough. He could not let the soldiers who had been protecting Daxuan eventually become inferior to those casual cultivators.
What's even more intolerable is that their deaths seem completely insignificant and have even been forgotten by the whole world!
"Why!" Mo Haolin raised his head and looked at Zhang Guyen with red eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he had not had much rest during this period.
"You mean those rumors outside? Do you care about these?" Zhang Guyen looked at Mo Haolin calmly.
The recent public opinion turmoil has been one after another under the leadership of Qin Fan, which has made those bored melon-eating people feel full at once.
Among them, the most popular one is naturally Qin Fan, followed by Yan Kuangshan and A Da, who broke through to the Grand Master realm when fighting the giant ape king.
The discussion among the casual cultivators was also very heated, especially after Qin Fan sent people to send out pensions, some of the sacrificed warriors were even dubbed heroes by local residents.
Including the deliberately low-key Xuanyang Guard and the temporarily formed Dark Alliance, many people mentioned it from time to time.
As for the shit tactics used by the aliens, more than thirty versions have been published.
It seemed like everything was happy, but everyone seemed to have forgotten about the Red Robed Army.
Excluding Qin Fan's final kill, the Red Robed Army was actually the real main force in this decisive battle, and they killed the largest number of ferocious beasts.
But when the battle is over, they are as invisible as no one cares about them.
Mo Haolin said that he didn't care about these false names, but what about the soldiers under his command? How could he explain it to his family and let them know that his son was a real hero?
Especially because of their sacrifices, the entire Xuanyang Territory returned to peace!
But everything was too quiet. No one mentioned the Red Robe Army. How could I prove this with just my empty words?
"Why!" Mo Haolin asked these three words again.
Zhang Guyen frowned slightly:
"You shouldn't be such a stupid person. Isn't it because you are in it that you don't realize it..."
"Why?" Mo Haolin just wanted to know an answer at this moment.
"I said before that you should find your own position. Now I would like to add that there is also the position of the Red Robed Army. Judging from your performance alone, it is indeed great. You guard the border and kill ferocious beasts every day.
But it is a pity that you have been separated from everyone.
At the beginning, you accepted the last order of Emperor Xuan. Unless the imperial city is breached, the red-robed army must stay in the southern dangerous area forever.
Based on this alone, it is impossible for the current Emperor Xuan to pay too much attention to you, because he cannot violate the last order of the previous Emperor Xuan. And if he really waits until the imperial city is breached and you come to help, he might as well find a tree.
Hang yourself from a crooked neck tree.
Of course, another key point is that because of the military expenditure issue, you have relied on the Huanghuang lineage for a long time. You should also know what kind of person that person is.
And the public opinion storm outside this time is not as simple as it seems. It is an invisible war, but you can't play any role in this battle.
Because from the beginning, you, the Red Robe Army, have been in a position that everyone regards as transparent.
So no one will help you build your reputation. After all, there is no benefit to be gained from this, it is just a waste of human and financial resources.
People in the martial arts world are naturally hostile or neutral towards you, the military. In addition, they are closer to casual cultivators, so they will further ignore you.
This is my answer, are you satisfied?"
Mo Haolin stared blankly ahead, but his feet that had been standing still slowly took a step forward.
Zhang Guyen didn't rush when he saw this, he just walked with him towards the depths of the cave, where there was a passage leading directly to the outside.
However, there was some doubt and confusion in his eyes. Most of these words were told by Qin Fan. Logically speaking, it was the perfect time to meet Mo Haolin at this moment.
But Qin Fan insisted that even if Mo Haolin seemed to have lowered all his guard, he must be allowed to go back and calm down first.
...
In the small pavilion, the darkening night did not completely cover it. Instead, the moonlight from the corner of the sky and the firelight below the mountain illuminated everything very brightly.
After finalizing the first deal, Qin Fan and Yu Huangxin stopped communicating. They just quietly sipped tea and admired the lively scene at the foot of the mountain.
Until the pot of tea gets cold.
"He should have left." Yuhuang Xin suddenly said to Qin Fan.
"Well, I've heard everything I need to hear, so of course I want him to leave." Qin Fan replied calmly.
"Actually, this is of no use. To put it bluntly, he is actually a dog of my father. This dog is very loyal and stubborn.
There is no way that he would bite his master just because he wanted to kill him, nor would he leave the circle drawn by his old master for any reason.
So I don't mind him hearing this at all."
Yuhuang Xin said calmly.
Qin Fan nodded and said, "I know."
"Then I should have made a profit from this transaction, and you have also helped me relieve a burden that consumes a lot of my gold and silver every year."
"Really? If you really thought you were making money, you wouldn't say it."
"Because you are not such a stupid person, I can make a small profit, a small loss, or even no profit or loss by trading with you, but it is absolutely impossible for me to make such a big profit now.
So there must be something I haven’t thought clearly about yet.”
"Then do you think I will tell you?"
"You don't know, but I always have to ask."
Qin Fan chuckled and stopped continuing the topic. He put the tea sets in front of him into the space ring one by one.
"It seems that today's conversation is over." Yu Huangxin stood up proactively, as if ready to leave directly.
"Wait a minute, put them away because they take up too much space."
Qin Fan then took out several pieces of white paper and spread them on the table, with dense words written on them.
"What's this?"
"A plan, and the whole world is waiting for my next move."
Yuhuang became interested, and immediately picked up the paper and studied it carefully. After reading a few lines of words, her original casual expression gradually became serious.
Qin Fan didn't urge him, he just looked at the night view and the crowd of carnival people at the foot of the mountain.
Two hours later.
Yuhuang Xin raised her head and said: "Heaven's Palm is in charge of death, Earth is in charge of life, Yanshi is in charge of craftsmen, Master is in charge of merchants, if anyone disobeys, Ghost Lord is in charge of rewards and punishments, these should be the five forces."
"good."
"The merchant in charge is the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Although Fourth Master Xia acts relatively low-key, some forces have also found out that he contributed a lot in this decisive battle.
Some people even suspect that your power is an illusion created by his magic."
"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this speculation."
"But that's not important. I want to know who the other four forces, no, the other three forces are, because with your character you will definitely be the most important Ghost Lord."
"The only Jianghu force in the world that dares to kill someone is Yefu. As for Yanshi's craftsman, it can only be Jiqiao Palace."
"So you convinced them?" Yuhuang Xin frowned, "They probably don't know that once they join the plan to establish the Wangyou Ghost City, they will share a lot of risks.
Especially now that you are at the forefront."
"The Ye Mansion has agreed, and I also received a letter from the Jiqiao Palace one day ago that they are willing to join the Wangyou Ghost City." Qin Fan said with a slight smile.
Yuhuang Xin's brows furrowed even deeper upon hearing this.
"What did you do to convince them?"
Qin Fan replied:
“Persuading Yefu naturally relied on financial resources and the information that other forces agreed to join.
The same goes for the Jiji Palace. They are short of money and a perfect place where they can test machine weapons at any time. I can provide these.
And when you know that four major forces, including me, have agreed to join, there is no reason for them to refuse."
Yuhuang Xin began to look through the blank papers again and found one of the important clues:
"The Blood Demon Arena, the Pink Skull Tower, the Ghost Inn, the Poison Hut, the Desperate Pawn Shop, and the Underworld Gambling House.
These are the six most important buildings in Wangyougui City that you marked."
"Yes, as a Ghost Lord, I occupy the Poison Hut and the Desperate Pawn Shop. The Night Mansion is the Ghost Inn, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is the Underworld Gambling House, and the Jiji Palace is the Blood Demon Arena."
"It's very suitable." Yuhuang Xin said silently for a moment, but then her voice changed, "Why do you think I will agree just because of the participation of other parties? You know that if I join, I will take greater risks.
And have you ever thought about the imperial court’s reaction after the Wangyou Ghost Market was established?”
"I've thought about it, so I can't step back."
"Aren't you afraid that my imperial brother will be cruel?"
"Now is an excellent opportunity. Emperor Xuan needs to sort out the court that has started to stir up trouble due to Yu Cangmiao's departure. Of course, the most important thing is the north.
I'm pretty sure that once he attacks me, King Wuwei will definitely call him Qingjun."
"Why?"
"To deal with a well-known benevolent person, a hero who has just ended the beast tide disaster, he can secretly assign forces in the world to solve the problem, but he cannot call on the power of the imperial court.
Because this act is unjust, if the current Daxuan Dynasty loses its righteousness, it will not be far from its complete collapse."
"Oh, is it really okay for you to say this in front of me, the eldest princess? But you can barely pass the test for this reason, so how will you convince me next?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We have said before that in life, all you want is fame, wealth, power, and sex.
First eliminate the sex you don't need, and then you can get fame and fortune by joining the plan to build the Wangyou Ghost City.
My benevolent name is the best way to build momentum for you. Once the ghost market is opened, it will also represent a steady inflow of benefits.
As for power, if you can't win it with your wisdom and fame and fortune, then it can only be said that this is your destiny."
"Hehehe, your eloquence is still as good as ever. I admit that I was persuaded by you, then..."
"Wait a minute, I have one more condition."
"Huh?" Yu Huangxin raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Qin Fan with a somewhat unkind look.
"Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion is not the only option. Exclude the three most restless evil spirits and the semi-wasted Sihai Gang.
There are still several alternatives for the next-level top powers, such as the Kyushu Escort Bureau, Tianjian Sect, and even Wen Shengsheng."
"Wen Shengsheng? I'm afraid you've lost your mind and gone crazy."
Qin Fan smiled lightly and said, "Don't tell me you didn't notice that."
Yuhuang Xin's eyes narrowed slightly: "So you also discovered it."
"Of course, after Yu Cangmiao resigned as prime minister, the position under one person was taken over by Li Taike, the original temple master, because he was the most suitable one at the moment.
But the weird thing is that the new Wen Sheng Hall Master, Bai Lihong, is an unknown person. I seriously doubt that he is actually Yu Cangmiao, or one of the Seven Yus under his command who has been hiding his identity!"
Qin Fan's speculation was not without purpose, because the rise of Li Taike, the prime minister, brought new changes to the court, which also diverted too much attention from various scholars.
This caused them to be a step too late when they wanted to fight for the master of Wensheng Temple. The only one who had this opportunity to take action early was Yu Cangmiao, who led all this to happen.
