Start with one punch

Chapter 58 Give you a chance to cooperate
"Just like now, if I say that the previous cooperation at Dongjiang Wharf is invalid, then it is naturally invalid. What can you do to me? If you dare to say that the contract between you and Xiaotian is invalid, then I will kill you now. Do you dare to say it?"

Zhao Ping lowered his head silently, took a few deep breaths again, and said: "Mr. Lin, you are right, but even if I agree, the knight will not agree. To send troops at this time is to provoke everyone's bottom line."

Lin Huaian: "No, just tell the great knight, and he will agree. As for provoking others' bottom line? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Even if you don't send troops this time, people in all states and counties in the world will remember your goodness? Will you feel that you don’t want to rebel? Will you be completely relieved of Mengzhou’s [-] cavalry?”

"Since they are all a group of unrelated people, why do you care about their opinions? On the contrary, you helped me this time. I won Jiangzhou. I won't say how good my relationship with you will be in the future, but at least it won't be like other states. The county is equally hostile to you and targets you. We may even be grasshoppers on a rope in the future, because this time you sent troops, but it was a false shot and no other actions, and I took the opportunity to replace Wang Jue. What will the world think? ?”

"They will definitely guess that there is some kind of connection between us, and they will invisibly push Jiangzhou and Mengzhou to the same front. You Mengzhou have always been isolated and helpless. If I win Jiangzhou this time, it will be very difficult in the future. There is a high chance that it will move towards Mengzhou, so you say, does this give you an opportunity to cooperate?"

"You have been lurking in Jiangzhou for so many years and have been paying attention to Dongjiang Wharf for food and grass. Even if you take over Dongjiang Wharf now, you will still be wary. But working with me is different. Not to mention the benefits. , but at least I will help you block the pressure from the other half of Jiangzhou."

The other half of the pressure naturally comes from the official forces under the control of the Chu royal family in each state. Although the great masters in each region have half of the official recommendation power, except for the private ownership of spirit stones, most of the official rights are still in the hands of the imperial court.

The main reason Zhao Ping was cautious before was that he was afraid of attracting official attention. If it is true as Lin Huaian said, it would indeed be a good thing for Mengzhou.

Zhao Ping continued to lower his head and remained silent, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Many of Mr. Lin's words poked holes in Mengzhou's weaknesses. They were indeed isolated and helpless. At this time, someone taking the initiative to seek cooperation with them was already the biggest threat. He gave in, because everyone in the world knew what the situation in Mengzhou was now.

If it weren't for Beiqi's need to resist and fear of Beiqi going south, Mengzhou's last bit of food and grass supplies might have been cut off.

But even so, Zhao Ping did not dare to be reckless and said: "Master Lin, even if you replace Wang Jue, the most you can take is the ownership of the spirit stones in Jiangzhou, and half of the power to recommend officials, but the real power is We are still the Da Chu royal family, even if we are willing to cooperate, the people over at Da Chu will not leave it alone."

Lin Huaian shook his head calmly: "This is my business, you don't have to worry. As long as you are willing to cooperate and send troops to Zhongzhou and Jiangzhou, I will find a way to solve these problems. This cooperation will not do you any harm, and it will be the same for me. It will be a win-win situation for everyone. "

Zhao Ping let out a long sigh: "Well, in that case, I will tell the great knight exactly what I said today. Don't worry, Mr. Lin."

Zhao Ping relented and was willing to carry the message, which meant that the trip was half successful. The remaining half would have to wait until Zhao Ping passed the message to the cavalry leader Tian Mian and waited for Mengzhou to send troops.

The goal was achieved, Lin Huai'an didn't stay any longer, and led Qin Tian to leave.

Zhao Ping didn't do any ink, he directly called his cronies and gave him a letter, asking him to inform the great knight about the matter.

……

Qiankunju.

Yang Jing led Yan Yongyuan and Meng Tianyou to visit the great master disciple Situ Jian.The guard in front of Situ Jian's gate was a little confused. He looked at Yang Jing and said, "Palace Master Yang, didn't Mr. Situ meet you before? Then he left and never returned. Don't you know?"

Situ Jian has not returned yet?
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, guessing that the other party might have gone somewhere else to do something.

"Brother, I have something to tell Mr. Situ. If he comes back, would you please convey this message..."

Yang Jing smiled and handed over a bag of spirit stones, and at the same time informed the guards one by one about his plans to cause trouble for Huayue Tower.

The guards who can guard the gate of Situ Jian's courtyard are naturally close confidants. Looking at the bag of spiritual stones, the guard smiled and patted his chest to express that there was no problem.

After receiving the response, Yang Jing was relieved and without saying anything, he led Yan Yongyuan and Meng Tianyou back to Chaotian Palace. Next, it was time for him to take action against Huayue Tower.

Huayuelou is just a group of girls who know some hidden weapons and other dirty tricks. Their overall strength is at the bottom among the three major sects in Jiangzhou. This time he is famous and must ask Huayuelou for an explanation.

As for completely taking over Huayue Tower, that is somewhat unlikely. The Grand Master will not allow it. Jiangzhou has been peaceful for so many years. Whether it is the Grand Master or the Dachu royal family, what they want is always a stable and developed Jiangzhou. , instead of fighting and fighting all day long and creating a mess.

Yan Yongyuan and Meng Tianyou, who had been following Yang Jing, both had dark faces at this time. They secretly glanced at each other and saw the surprise and suspicion in each other's hearts.

Did Yang Jing really meet Situ Jian?Why did he meet Situ Jian before?Are you going to kill us?Are all Mr. Lin's guesses true?Yang Jing really wants to get rid of us?

But this is unreasonable. Since he wants to get rid of us, why is he willing to bring us to see Situ Jian this time?And why did you take the initiative to talk to the guard and expose your contact with Situ Jian?
Since he took the initiative to expose himself, why didn't he mention a word about the conversation with Situ Jian?Could it be that he did this on purpose to disturb his vision?Or are they demonstrating?
Yan Yongyuan and Meng Tianyou thought about it, and with the palace lord's usual style, the latter was more likely, presumably to warn them, telling them that he was on good terms with the first disciple of the grand master, and that he was the palace lord. , even if we have any dissatisfaction, we can only hold it in.

So here comes the question, did he let Situ Jian kill us?If you asked, why were you so calm when you saw them coming back?If not, then why are there all kinds of doubts in it?

Yan Yongyuan and Meng Tianyou were silent all the way, their minds getting more and more confused. They couldn't understand these clues at all, unless they directly asked Situ Jian himself. However, Situ Jian was already too dead to die...

Yang Jing didn't know that the two guardians behind him didn't mention anything about asking Situ Jian to rescue the two of them because of his well-intentioned concealment and for fear of losing the face of the two old guys. They were suffering from a headache...

Returning to Chaotian Palace, Yang Jing was in high spirits. He waved to the elite disciples below and set off. His first destination was Wangjiangshan!
