Mu Ling 'er had no idea that Deacon Jin was heading north to find Ning Cheng.
Seeing Deacon Jin's shock, she thought she had a chance and quickly added, "Deacon Jin, you should know what Myriad Merchant Hall means to the Di Clan! I won't lie to you about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ning Jing yourself! My big sis helped Myriad Merchant Hall deal with the gambling houses and auction houses, so all of the elders are wholeheartedly convinced of her abilities! "
A complicated look flickered past Deacon Jin's eyes. If Han Yunxi controlled Myriad Merchant Hall, then what about Ning Cheng?
If there was a rift between Han Yunxi and Ning Cheng, then the Di Clan would definitely listen to Ning Cheng. After all, Ning Cheng was the clan head.
Deacon Jin didn't tell Uncle Cheng about this. After checking all the strips of cloth and making sure there were no mistakes, they hurried through the night towards Northern Li's Skyriver City.
But the next day, they heard news that Eastern and Western Qin were actually working together!
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had joined forces to denounce the Bai Clan and challenge the Hundred Poisons Sect. They wanted the Bai Clan to clarify whether the civil war between Eastern and Western Qin had been East Qin's fault, or Western Qin's. The ones who spread the news were none other than the Di Clan's Myriad Merchant Hall Council of Elders.
Only now did Deacon Jin believe Mu Ling 'er's words.
"Ning Cheng must know about this too," Deacon Jin probed.
"Heheh, Han Yunxi's caught herself in a trap of her own making! Don't you worry, Ning Cheng won't let her off! "Uncle Cheng said Coldly.
Mu Ling 'er and Ning Jing were trapped in the carriage, so they didn't hear the news. If Ning Jing did, she'd probably be happy.
Myriad Merchant Hall had spread the news throughout Cloud Realm Continent, so Jun Yi Xie had long received the news.
With a loud bang, Jun Yi Xie threw a secret letter in front of Ning Cheng. This secret report was about the elders of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium and the deputy generals of the Ning Clan troops rushing towards the Hundred Poisons Sect.
Ning Cheng casually flipped through it and said Coldly, "Isn't that perfect? I'll get rid of Bai Yanqing for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Yi Xie clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. He would never allow anyone to mention the matter between him and his master.
Bai Yuqiao was afraid of him, but Ning Cheng was not. He snorted, "Jun Yi Xie, you should be glad that Bai Yanqing did not come to Bei Li. Otherwise, you would be very pitiful!"
"Enough!" Jun Yi Xie flipped over the letter on the table and raged, "Ning Cheng, Han Yunxi controls your Di Clan's purse. What are you going to use to cooperate with me?"
This was Jun Yi Xie's main concern.
Ning Cheng was unruffled. "This clan head will always have the final say in the Di Clan!"
"Haven't you already reported your safety? Why didn't the Council of Elders inform you of such an important decision? "Jun Yi Xie pressed closer to Ning Cheng and demanded.
Ning Cheng slowly pushed him aside. "Jun Yi Xie, I was kidnapped by Bai Yuqiao. As long as they search the ruins of Blacktower, they'll be able to guess it! What do you think they'll believe with a single letter before confirming my safety? "
Jun Yi Xie seemed to realize something, and his expression changed.
Ning Cheng Coldly said, "Jun Yi Xie, if the thirty thousand cavalrymen head south, the entire Di Clan will believe that I'm safe. Otherwise, they'd rather listen to Han Yunxi than a letter of unknown origin! You won't get a single copper coin. "
"You're threatening me!" Jun Yi Xie raged.
"Yes!" Ning Cheng admitted generously.
"Don't forget that your life is in my hands!" Jun Yi Xie said sternly.
"You can kill me." Ning Cheng looked indifferent. With Jun Yi Xie's personality, if he could kill him, he would have done so long ago.
"Haha, kill you? I can't afford to kill you! Your life is worth at least one billion. "Jun Yi Xie's words implied that he wanted to use Ning Cheng to threaten the Di Clan.
"If you think it's worth it, you can try!" Ning Cheng was as calm as Mount Tai.
The news of Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's cooperation was a huge help to him. The cooperation between Eastern and Western Qin would make Ning Cheng desperate.
The reason why he wrote a letter to Uncle Cheng was because Uncle Cheng was usually dissatisfied with Han Yunxi and repeatedly instigated him to betray Western Qin's imperial family. Han Yunxi hurt his eyes, and he only wrote one sentence in the letter, which was enough to arouse Uncle Cheng's suspicion. If he didn't gamble wrong, Uncle Cheng wouldn't tell anyone in the Di Clan his whereabouts. Instead, he would personally come to find him and persuade him to cooperate with Jun Yi Xie.
With Uncle Cheng helping him put on an act, it would be easier to win Jun Yi Xie's trust.
Jun Yi Xie was indeed anxious. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng sat down on the side and said indifferently, "I don't mind telling you that Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye still have feelings for each other. That woman has long ignored the cause of reviving the empire. The grudges between Eastern and Western Qin can't stop her. Instead, Myriad Merchant Hall's Elder Council will be led by the nose by her! Jun Yi Xie, you don't have much time. Think it over! "
Jun Yi Xie finally understood that Ning Cheng was gambling with the entire Di Clan. If he gave up the thirty thousand warhorses, Ning Cheng would immediately appear to take back the Di Clan's authority. If he didn't, Ning Cheng would rather give the Di Clan to Han Yunxi than cooperate with him.
In the end, Ning Cheng wanted him to give the thirty thousand warhorses to the Di Clan first and then give him military pay and provisions.
Originally, they had agreed to hand over the money and the warhorses. Jun Yi Xie was naturally on guard against Ning Cheng holding back, but he didn't expect such an unforeseen event to happen in just a few days.
How did Han Yunxi control Myriad Merchant Hall's Elder Council? How did she persuade the Di Clan to cooperate with Long Fei Ye?
After not seeing her for a long time, that woman's ability had grown!
Hand over the warhorses first, then take the military pay and provisions … Jun Yi Xie muttered in his letter. He was also weighing whether or not he could take this risk. He was also weighing how much of Ning Cheng's attitude was true and how much was false.
Jun Yi Xie didn't immediately reply to Ning Cheng. Instead, he said Coldly, "Just wait! I'll think it over! "
After Jun Yi Xie left the camp, he saw Bai Yuqiao walking towards him.
Bai Yuqiao had talked to him about his master a few times recently. Whenever he saw Bai Yuqiao, he would feel vexed. However, he still asked Coldly, "Has Su Xiaoyu confessed?"
"Not yet. That girl is too stubborn," Bai Yuqiao said truthfully. She had interrogated Su Xiaoyu quite a bit these days. Naturally, she wanted to know the whereabouts of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
"There are plenty of extreme punishments in the horse farm. What, you still can't get anything out of her?" Jun Yi Xie asked.
"Senior Brother, if that girl dies, we really won't be able to get anything out of her. Besides, Han Yunxi treats the people around her well. That girl has been with her for so long. She can be considered a hostage, "Bai Yuqiao analyzed seriously.
These words reminded Jun Yi Xie that if he couldn't come to an agreement with Ning Cheng, he might be able to use Su Xiaoyu to make a fuss.
At this moment, his mind was in a mess. He didn't think too much about it and left in a huff.
Bai Yuqiao looked at Jun Yi Xie's back and began to worry. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had teamed up to challenge Hundred Poisons Sect. Would her senior brother rush over to help?
Han Yunxi's poison skills were profound and unfathomable. She was a match for her master, while Long Fei Ye's martial arts were probably the best in Cloud Realm. If the two of them teamed up, her master would have no chance of winning. Hundred Poisons Sect would be in danger.
With her master's crafty personality, he might not show himself. Moreover, her senior brother had deep feelings for Hundred Poisons Sect. If her master didn't go and her senior brother did, then wouldn't that be …
Bai Yuqiao didn't dare to think any further. She told herself that she had to keep a close eye on her senior brother for the next few days no matter what. She didn't want him to do something he would regret.
Bai Yuqiao was about to follow him when a soldier hurried over to report, "Miss Yu 'er, something has happened to the hostage in the prison!"
"What's going on?" Bai Yuqiao was alarmed.
"The person feeding her wasn't paying attention and that girl hit her head on the ground. The doctor has already rushed over to save her!" the soldier replied truthfully.
"Damn it!"
Bai Yuqiao immediately went to the prison cell. When she arrived, Su Xiaoyu was unconscious and the doctor was treating the wound on her forehead.
After Su Xiaoyu was kidnapped, she hadn't said a word or drank a drop of water. She only wanted to die. Not only could Bai Yuqiao not do anything to her, she even had to be careful to prevent her from committing suicide.
Bai Yuqiao didn't understand. How could this girl be so stubborn and ruthless at such a young age? Was she really not afraid of death?
After the doctor finished treating the wound, Bai Yuqiao had everyone withdraw. She guarded Su Xiaoyu alone, quietly pondering what method she could use to make this girl betray Han Yunxi.
She had long sent people to investigate her background. If they could find out about it and find her relatives, perhaps they could threaten her. It was a pity that there wasn't any effective information until now.
Orphans were like barefooted people. They wouldn't be afraid of anyone wearing shoes. Bai Yuqiao understood this feeling of having no scruples and being fearless too well. Because she was also an orphan. She was able to feed the whole family and had no worries. Therefore, she was fearless and was willing to risk everything.
Han Yunxi's feelings towards Su Xiaoyu were the same as her senior brother's feelings towards her. She was the only person she cared about and was willing to risk everything for.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuqiao couldn't help but think, what if … what if one day she found her long-lost younger sister? Would her younger sister replace Ning Cheng's position?
She didn't continue thinking about it and summoned the soldiers to watch over her. "Watch over her carefully. If anything happens again, be careful of your little lives!" After she finished instructing them, she went to Senior Brother's tent. Since last night, she had been secretly hiding outside and keeping watch for the entire night.
There were still seven days before Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye challenged Hundred Poisons Sect. Bai Yuqiao was going to have a lot to endure.
At this moment, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still hurrying through the night. Myriad Merchant Hall had already spread the news. She and Long Fei Ye had also written a letter of challenge and sent it to Hundred Poisons Sect.
Everything was ready except for the east wind!
"Long Fei Ye, do you think Bai Yanqing has already brought Gu Beiyue to Hundred Poisons Sect?" Han Yunxi asked excitedly.
She couldn't wait to reach Hundred Poisons Sect immediately and truly join forces with Long Fei Ye to beat Bai Yanqing to a pulp!
Long Fei Ye lazily raised a hand to rub Han Yunxi's head. He seemed to be in a good mood as he smiled. "If he tries the same trick again, will you fall for it again?"
Last time at Tianning's imperial palace, she and Ning Cheng had already captured Bai Yanqing. Unfortunately, she wasn't ruthless enough. Even though they had the same chips, Bai Yanqing had used Gu Beiyue to threaten her, so she'd compromised.
When the chips were equal, it was a contest of patience. Han Yunxi had never lost before, but she'd lost to Bai Yanqing once.
"With you here, I won't fall for it," Han Yunxi said seriously. She believed that Long Fei Ye was ruthless and steady enough. She also believed that Long Fei Ye wouldn't be like Ning Cheng and sacrifice Gu Beiyue.
She was looking forward to Long Fei Ye and Bai Yanqing's negotiations.
Long Fei Ye laughed out loud. "Han Yunxi, let me tell you some good news. Do you want to hear it?"
