Time travel means exile?With medical skills in hand, I can become rich

Chapter 47 Not an ally
"Ahem, Li Dianbo, thank you for your hard work."

Manager Liu suppressed his smile and quickly looked away from his face.

He didn't know how many times he had been beaten, and his face was all red.

Li Xing awkwardly touched his swollen cheekbones, laughed dryly, stepped into the room and saluted Xuan Lin.

"Reporting to the prince, I'm afraid we can't discuss that matter."

Xuan Lin stopped drinking tea, "What's going on?"

Li Xing explained the matter carefully.

Xuan Lin listened silently, tapping his index finger on the table in deep thought.

Are you taking advantage of public dissatisfaction?

Manager Liu frowned and said, "What is Yi Hongfei's background? Why is the county magistrate so afraid of her?"

According to common sense, as the head of a county, there is no need for Zhizhi County to be so tolerant to the people under his jurisdiction.

Based on the information they learned, it is speculated that the backer behind Yishengtang may be Sang Fu.

As a member of the Zhanyue tribe, Yi Hongfei dared to smash Yishengtang and threaten the county magistrate face to face, which was really abnormal.

From Li Xing's description, she was just an ordinary strong woman.

Apart from some skills, there seems to be nothing special about it.

Li Xing was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He glanced at Xuan Lin and said cautiously: "Because the incident happened suddenly, I didn't stay too long."

This matter really needs to be investigated carefully. He did not complete the task, nor did he know the origin of the person who sabotaged the task. He was indeed derelict in his duty.

Xuan Lin didn't blame him, he just waved his hand gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."

He tapped his finger on the table again, looking down at his finger and thinking.

Surname Yi...

Yi used to be the surname of the Zhanyue tribe, but after the Battle of Xingyuan, his vitality was severely damaged, and even the general Yi Jie died in the battle.

Without several members of the family's backbone, the Yi family was gradually marginalized from the center of power.

Yi Hongfei can be feared by the county magistrate, so his status in the Yi family must be high.

Thinking of this, Xuan Lin sighed.

Wen Yunxi...

It's always beyond his expectations.

When Wu Lin was kidnapped, Wen Yunxi suddenly appeared to rescue him.

When he was attacked from both sides, he thought he had no way to escape, but Wen Yunxi took him safely out of the forest using only mud camouflage.

When he was running out of time, the missing Wen Yunxi suddenly appeared and successfully detoxified him with a magical elixir.

In order to survive, he would actually agree to any conditions, but Wen Yunxi only had one business path.

She originally thought she would go to the northern barbarians, but in the end she subdued the Red Forest tribe and created an absolutely safe trade route.

And this time, when he just wanted to establish a connection with Zhang Liuxing, he was spoiled by an unrelated woman. It happened that this woman admired Wen Yunxi in every possible way.

He understood Wen Yunxi's plan to build a reputation, but he didn't expect that she had already laid a hidden clue in the county.

His behavior is elusive, but upon closer inspection, he feels that it should be so.

Layers upon layers, interlocking.

Xuan Lin chuckled, it was hard not to admire him.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Manager Liu called softly several times, but when there was no response, he could only shake Xuan Lin's shoulder gently, exceeding the rules.

"Huh?" Xuan Lin looked up, his eyes a little blank.

Commander Fang, who had just entered the room, had no choice but to report again, "Your Majesty, Zhang Li and the others are back."

Xuan Lin looked serious and straightened his back, "How do you do it?"

"In compliance with the prince's instructions, 30 of them went to the eight northern tribes respectively, but only the heads of the four tribes received them alone."

Commander Fang paused and saw that Xuan Lin's expression did not change, then he continued: "Only the Qinghu tribe and the Blue Deer tribe in the northwest are willing to cooperate."

"Why only two? Did they not make it clear?"

Manager Liu was dissatisfied. Before the team left, he proposed to add a few chamberlains to accompany them.

The chamberlain has been observant of people's emotions since he was a child, and he is even better at saying compliments, and he is better at doing things than the straight-faced guards.As a result, he was rejected by Commander Fang. The reason turned out to be that he didn't want to be distracted from taking care of them.

Well now, only two of the eight tribes have united.

Commander Fang glanced at Manager Liu. Is this a matter of speaking? !
Xuan Lin picked up the map on the table and unfolded it, pointing his finger at the two tribes in the Northeast.

Because the terrain is relatively flat, those two tribes have developed better, and their population is twice that of the other tribes.

However, the population of thirty to forty thousand people is not enough in front of the Zhanyue people, and their terrain does not play a role in occupying the high ground.

Since the Zhanyue tribe divided the Red Moon Army into five parts and stationed some of them east of Blackstone City, it has been difficult for the two tribes to resist.

The reason why he did not exclude these two tribes from the list was simply to test their attitude.

Such a result is not unexpected.

As for the two tribes in the northwest, he was quite confident. Those two tribes were far away from the Zhanyue tribe's army, but they were also close to Xizhou, so it was easy to coerce and induce them.

After all, they cannot offend the power in Xizhou at will.

What surprised him was the four tribes in the middle.

"Commander Fang, which two remaining clans have met them?"

Commander Fang bent down and pointed on the map.

The Flying Eagle Clan and the Red Leopard Clan?
"Why did they refuse?"

Commander Fang sighed: "I don't know about Zhang Li. We had already started talking about cooperation, but after the people who went to work in Heishi County returned to the village, the two clan leaders stopped meeting them."

Xuan Lin: "..."

Sure enough, it was Wen Yunxi again.

I thought she would first develop business through the Shuiyi tribe and the Honglin tribe, and since she focused on the construction of the medical center, she was ignored.

I didn't expect that her massive recruitment drive had such a purpose.

In just twenty days, not only did she win over the people who came to work, but even the Zhanyue people in Black Rock City also wanted to protect her.

Wen Yunxi...how many steps did he calculate?

"Your Majesty, please let me go."

Seeing Xuan Lin's silence, Commander Fang couldn't help but beg for help urgently.

Now that the trade routes are open, people can be secretly transferred in from the outside, but in the end not many can be transferred, and most of those people are from General Yan's influence.

No matter how close you are, your own power is not as easy to use.

If King Lin wants to gain a foothold in Lanzhou, he must gain the support of these indigenous people.

Although these four tribes in the central part of the north each have only 2 or [-] people, they are all fierce and are a force that cannot be underestimated.

In comparison, the four tribes in the northeast and northwest all appear inferior.

To his surprise, King Lin did not agree.

Xuan Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's go and see those tribes in the central and west."

It's far away from Black Rock City, so we won't go to Pingxiba outside the city to work.

"Your Majesty, I still want to go north and give it a try. This time I will take people there in person and negotiate double the terms."

After all, those guards were in a low-key position. As the commander of King Lin's command and with a fourth-grade military rank, he had to be treated with some dignity.

Of course, if King Lin could go in person, he would be more sincere.

It's just that King Lin can't go out at will now. At least he has to find some power to move around.

Otherwise, whether you can come back after going out is a question.

Xuan Lin understood Commander Fang's anxiety. He poured Commander Fang a cup of tea and asked him to sit down and calm down.

"Commander Fang, those four people have already formed an alliance with Doctor Wen. It's useless for us to say more."

Commander Fang was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Isn't Doctor Wen an ally?"

Xuan Lin chuckled, "It's just business cooperation."

Of course, power must be held firmly in one's own hands.

He does.

Wen Yunxi is no exception.
