Chapter 33 That’s bait
Wen Yunxi was very satisfied.

Xuan Lin, who has recovered from illness, is less frail than a sick beauty and more noble and elegant.

It's her favorite color.

"Doctor Wen, I hope you will accept this small thank you gift."

Xuan Lin sat on the stone table and asked people to present gifts.

It was a wooden box, all black, with a golden waning moon painted on the lid. It was worth a lot at first glance.

Zhuo Yun recognized the moon standard and stared directly at the box.

She wanted to see what treasures the Zhanyue tribe could give away.

Xuan Lin looked at Wen Yunxi with a smile. He had never given a woman a gift. He could only refer to what his mother and concubine liked. He didn't know whether Wen Yunxi liked it.

As soon as Wen Yunxi opened the box, his eyes were dazzled by the pearls inside.

A total of ten big round golden pearls!

what is this?
This is money, lots of money!
Zhuo Yun looked away disdainfully. Instead of just a few pearls, there were many on her bedside!
Wen Yunxi closed the wooden box and carefully put it into his pocket.

She sat across from the stone table and looked at Xuan Lin with a smile.

Xuan Lin dismissed everyone, but Wen Yunxi left Zhuo Yun behind.

Xuan Lin smiled nonchalantly, and started drawing on the stone table with his right hand dipped in tea.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea in the south.

It is the topographic map of Lanzhou.

Although he was plagued by cold poison these days, he was not idle. After integrating the information he found, he roughly sorted out the power relations in Lanzhou.

Xuan Lin clicked somewhere in the middle, "Doctor Wen, judging from the terrain, if you want to do business with the outside world, it is most convenient to take the sea route."

Wen Yunxi hummed.

Xuan Lin drew another circle on the far right side of the coastline and continued: "This is the territory of the Lixi tribe. It is rumored that the leader of this tribe is at odds with Sang Fu. I think the Shuiyi tribe has also received this news."

He glanced at Zhuo Yun who was standing next to him. It was not difficult to guess the identity of this girl.

Wen Yunxi asked: "Do you think there is a problem?"

Her destination is indeed the Lixi tribe, where she plans to go to sea, and then find a way to land from the Mangzhou fishing village.

Xuan Lin slowly drew a cross on the Li Xi clan's position.

"Sangfu is very careful in his actions. The Lixi tribe is located at the western end of the coastline. He will definitely have that place firmly in his hands."

"The Lixi clan is not strong. If they really go against the Zhanyue clan, they won't be able to survive now."

Wen Yunxi and Zhuo Yun looked at each other and realized that this was entirely possible.

Sang Fu can control Lanzhou and will never leave this loophole.

That's a bait!

Tempting those who want to break through maritime controls.

As long as you cooperate with the Lixi tribe, you will completely fall into Sangfu's trap.

"Thank you." She took it for granted.

If she just takes people there, even if she can escape safely, her intentions will be exposed, and it will be more difficult to break through in the future.

They will also be immediately targeted by Sang Fu, putting the Shuiyi tribe in a more difficult situation.

Xuan Lin nodded and marked the locations of the 25 clans on the map.

He connected the six tribes in Linhai with lines and crossed them all.

These tribes either had long-standing alliances with the Zhanyue tribe, or were related by marriage to Sangfu.

Of the twelve daughters, five were married off, all through marriage.

Xuan Lin saw Wen Yunxi frowning, and after thinking for a while, he drew a winding route in the northwest of Lanzhou.

"Doctor Wen, if you give me [-]% of your profit, I can develop this business path."

His position was awkward, so he could only develop his power secretly. A few years ago, he took advantage of Xizhou's blood exchange and installed three cronies. Although they were not in high positions, they had no problem developing a business.

Wen Yunxi: "..."

King Lin can do it, that’s the original purpose.

When she detoxified Xuan Lin, the two negotiated a condition that as long as she could go to sea, Xuan Lin would help her connect with the Yan family's business.

Now that the seaway is impassable, the agreement is naturally void.

No wonder he agreed so readily.

Wen Yunxi didn't feel angry, but appreciated Xuan Lin more.

Bearing the pain of cold poison, facing life-threatening threats at all times, and still being able to understand the situation through bits and pieces of information, not many people can do it.

At least she can't Wen Yunxi.

But well...

When negotiating a deal, you naturally have to bargain. "Prince Lin, you actually need this business road more than I do, otherwise you will be completely trapped in Lanzhou."

Xuan Lin chuckled and did not deny it.

He could guess Wen Yunxi's plan, and so could Wen Yunxi. After all, his options now were very limited.

Just as Wen Yunxi first targeted the Shuiyi tribe, he also had this plan, but he was slow to do so.

In terms of mobility, he is indeed not as good as Wen Yunxi.

"The profits will be divided into [-]%. I will be responsible for this section of the route in Lanzhou. For the caravan outside Lanzhou, I will account for one-third."

Wen Yunxi looked at Xuan Lin with a smile, waiting for him to make a decision.

This condition is quite harsh, but Xuan Lin has no choice because she already has the support of the Shuiyi tribe.

In the entire Lanzhou, the only one that can compete with the Zhanyue tribe, except the Shuiyi tribe, is the multi-ethnic coalition.

Unfortunately, he has no power now, and it is extremely difficult to find barbarians who are willing to cooperate with him. Even if they cooperate, they are easy to be stabbed in the back.

Therefore, the first priority is to contact the outside world and use his original power.

Xuan Lin understood that he could not gain the upper hand at this time, so he agreed simply.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, blowing the sleeves of Xuanlin's robe, as bright as the wind.

The posture of dragon and phoenix is ​​as gentle as jade.

"Prince Lin." Wen Yunxi called softly.

"Yeah." Xuan Lin was wiping the water stains on the stone table. He raised his head when he heard this, "still..."

As soon as he spoke, Wen Yunxi stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Xuan Lin: "...?"

Seeing his confused expression, Wen Yunxi was in a very good mood.

"It's a thank you."

A cool breath rushed directly to Xuan Lin's head.

In an instant, the ears and eyes are clear, and the five senses are heightened.

The vague sounds in the past became clearer, and he could even hear Manager Liu's voice scolding Commander Fang in the distance.

Another strange pill!

What is the origin of Wen Yunxi?
Xuan Lin didn't find any answer until he watched Wen Yunxi and the others leave.

Just as he was about to walk back, he heard the conversation between two people in the distance.

"Do you like girls who are prettier than girls?"

"Huh? What?"

"Don't act stupid, your eyes are straight."

"I don't, I'm just admiring her beauty."

"Oh, I understand, you are just greedy for his beauty."

"...This doesn't count..."

"Miracle doctor, your face is so hot!"

"..."

"Zhu Yun, don't run, stop right here!"

"……Hahaha……"

Xuan Lin chuckled and raised his hand to touch his face.

He does look more like his mother-in-law, but he probably doesn't look like a girl.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Manager Liu saw the smile on Xuan Lin's face getting deeper and deeper, and couldn't help but be curious.

Xuan Lin did not answer, the smile in his eyes did not diminish.

far away.

Wen Yunxi looked at Shuo Yun running away and felt very regretful.

I regretted giving Zhuo Yun a speed-increasing pill, which made it impossible for her to catch her.

I also regretted giving Xuan Lin a health pill.

If Xuan Lin had listened to those words just now, he would feel embarrassed just thinking about it.

She was just admiring her appearance.

Really!
