Six Fan School had complaints about the imperial court. In fact, after the incident with Su Xin, both Six Fan School and the military had some complaints about the imperial court.
After all, if the imperial court had not stirred up trouble and been more magnanimous, they would not have fallen out with Su Xin and turned the Zhou Kingdom into a mess.
As a result, the Zhou Kingdom could be said to be plagued by internal and external troubles. Both the Golden Horde Kingdom and Eastern Jin Kingdom had sent their armies to the border, eyeing them covetously. Both sides had begun to have small-scale battles and frictions.
After such an incident, Zhao Wunian and Xue Zhenyue were guarding the Golden Horde Kingdom in the north border. Tie Ao should be guarding the people of Eastern Jin Kingdom against Eastern Jin Kingdom.
However, because Eastern Jin Kingdom was much less aggressive than the Golden Horde Kingdom, Tie Ao took the time to go back to the Zhou Kingdom to deal with the White Lotus Sect. He did not expect Ji Xuanyuan to be shirking his responsibility.
Hearing Tie Ao's words, Ji Xuanyuan took a deep breath. He knew that he had lost his composure, so Ji Xuanyuan said to Tie Ao, "Sir Tie, I'm sorry. The White Lotus Sect's matter was too sudden. I was a little anxious."
Before advancing to the Real Martial Arts Realm, Ji Xuanyuan only focused part of his energy on the Zhou Kingdom. The rest of his time was spent on practicing martial arts.
Now, when Ji Xuanyuan took over all the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom, he felt that it was a little tricky.
There were some things that couldn't be solved with strength. Just like his current situation, no matter how strong he was, he still felt a headache when faced with these miscellaneous matters.
Tie Ao said in a deep voice, "Master, now the Zhou Kingdom is really troubled by internal and external troubles. The war on two fronts has held up most of the strength of the Zhou Kingdom. Moreover, some of the internal Wulin sects have also begun to have some unusual movements, constantly challenging the authority of the Zhou Kingdom.
Now that the Zhou Kingdom wants to mobilize forces to suppress the White Lotus Sect, there are only two choices. One is to negotiate with the Golden Horde Kingdom or Eastern Jin Kingdom and pay a certain price in exchange for them not to attack. That way, we can free up forces to deal with the White Lotus Sect.
The second option is for you, Master, to lead the forces in Shengjing City to suppress the White Lotus Sect. "
After hearing Tie Ao's suggestion, Ji Xuanyuan immediately frowned. Even though these two suggestions were the most practical for Zhou Guoguo, Ji Xuanyuan didn't want to choose either of them.
Choosing the first option was something that Zhou Guoguo couldn't tolerate.
After all, the Zhou Kingdom was now a dynasty. The Golden Horde Kingdom had coveted the Zhou Kingdom several times, but they had always been dealt a heavy blow by the Zhou Kingdom.
As for the Eastern Jin Kingdom, they were just stray dogs. If it wasn't for the internal strife in the Zhou Kingdom, there might not even be a Eastern Jin Kingdom in this world.
If the Zhou Kingdom was forced to negotiate with these two parties, one could imagine how much they would demand. Moreover, the Zhou Kingdom couldn't afford to lose face.
As for the second option, it wasn't very reliable. Even though Ji Xuanyuan was idling around in Shengjing City, he was actually the most important part of the Zhou Kingdom.
Shengjing City was the core of the Zhou Kingdom. No matter what, there had to be forces guarding it.
If Ji Xuanyuan led the forces guarding Shengjing City to suppress the Xiangnan Sect, what would happen to Shengjing City? Once something happened to Shengjing City, it would directly affect the rule of the Zhou Kingdom.
After a moment of silence, Ji Xuanyuan shook his head and said, "Neither of these two options will work. The Zhou Kingdom will never lower its head to any force. Similarly, the forces in Shengjing City can't be easily mobilized."
It was only now that Ji Xuanyuan realized how difficult it was to deal with the people from the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect must have thought it through before choosing to attack Sanxiang City.
One was that Sanxiang City was very weak now. If the White Lotus Sect made a move, it wouldn't be difficult for them to take over Sanxiang City.
The other was that Sanxiang City used to be the place where the Zhou Kingdom thrived. Even though the Zhou Kingdom didn't care much about Sanxiang City now, it was still the pride of the Zhou Kingdom. Now that it was occupied by the White Lotus Sect, the Zhou Kingdom would be the one to lose face.
Therefore, the Zhou Kingdom was in a difficult position. Losing Sanxiang City wouldn't affect the Zhou Kingdom much. After all, the output of Sanxiang City wasn't that important to the Zhou Kingdom.
However, if they didn't do anything about it, the Zhou Kingdom would lose face. It would affect the rule of a dynasty.
Tie Ao was silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, "Actually, apart from these two options, I have another option."
Ji Xuanyuan asked, "What is it?"
"Ask Su Xin to take care of the White Lotus Sect!" Tie Ao said in a low voice.
"What did you say?!"
A fierce look flashed in Ji Xuanyuan's eyes. For the current Zhou Kingdom, the meaning of the name Su Xin was self-evident.
A traitor of the Zhou Kingdom, a person who had just dealt a heavy blow to the Zhou Kingdom. Now, Tie Ao wanted to ask Su Xin to take care of the White Lotus Sect. It was no wonder that Ji Xuanyuan's expression changed.
Tie Ao wasn't as excited as Ji Xuanyuan. He just said lightly, "Why not? There was no eternal hatred in this world, at least for the Zhou Kingdom and Su Xin.
Don't forget that Su Xin still had the title of the Northwest King, but he didn't directly declare himself as king. This meant that there was still room for reconciliation between the Zhou Kingdom and Su Xin.
Moreover, the White Lotus Sect had also provoked Su Xin with what happened in Sanxiang. Therefore, only Xiangnan was peaceful in Sanxiang. The people of the White Lotus Sect were being slaughtered by Su Xin's Shadow Guards. Naturally, they didn't have the chance to cause trouble.
Moreover, the previous two options were only to temporarily divide the power of the Zhou Kingdom to suppress the White Lotus Sect. The power that can be mobilized is also limited. Only Su Xin can truly compete with the White Lotus Sect. "
Tie Ao's words made Ji Xuanyuan fall silent. This was because what Tie Ao said was indeed the truth.
Even if Ji Xuanyuan led the elites of Shengjing City to Xiangnan, they might not necessarily be able to suppress the White Lotus Sect.
After all, it was rumored that Our Lady Of The Lotus had recovered from her injury. At her peak, Our Lady Of The Lotus dared to provoke the Zhou Kingdom. She was even arrogant enough to fight with several Zhenwu of the Zhou Kingdom before she was seriously injured by Xue Zhenyue's Divine Weapon.
At that time, Ji Xuanyuan was not even a Yang Spirit, let alone a Zhenwu. Therefore, now that he was facing Our Lady Of The Lotus, who had recovered her strength, Ji Xuanyuan was not confident.
On the contrary, Su Xin's strength was recognized by the Jianghu. With him and his Shadow Guards, it was possible to suppress the White Lotus Sect.
After a while, Ji Xuanyuan said, "But are you confident that you can get Su Xin to attack the White Lotus Sect?"
Tie Ao said calmly, "Su Xin will not do anything that does not benefit him. Therefore, Master, you have to be prepared for Su Xin to demand an exorbitant price."
Ji Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, you can ask Su Xin to make a move. Of course, don't ask for too much. If he demands an exorbitant price, I would rather seek peace with Eastern Jin and the Golden Horde Kingdom!"
If there were other ways, Ji Xuanyuan would not be willing to bow down to Su Xin.
However, the Zhou Kingdom could not back down now. Just as Tie Ao said, it might be the most appropriate to ask Su Xin to make a move in this situation.
At this time, in the Xiangnan Gang, Su Xin was still leading the Shadow Guards to kill the White Lotus Sect.
Su Xin expected that Our Lady Of The Lotus would come looking for trouble, but he did not expect Tie Ao to come first.
The name of the Chief Constable of Six Fan School, Tie Ao, was known throughout the world, especially to some small sects.
This time, Su Xin killed the Chief Constable of Xiangnan Gang, Fang Xianlong in public. No matter how one looked at it, it felt like he was slapping the Six Fan School in public.
"Master Tie, long time no see. How are you?" Su Xin said calmly.
Compared to the nervousness of the others, Su Xin was very calm because he knew Tie Ao's character very well.
If Tie Ao was really going to fall out with him, Tie Ao would make a move directly instead of looking relaxed and indifferent like now.
Looking at the people around him, Tie Ao said, "Let's find a secluded place to talk."
Su Xin nodded and brought Tie Ao to the back of the mountain in Shangshan City. This place was a cliff, so their conversation could not be heard by others.
"Master Tie, are you not here to punish me?" Su Xin asked.
Tie Ao said calmly, "Since you have already seen it, why do you need to say more? Even if you didn't kill that useless Fang Xianlong, I would have killed him. A person who doesn't do anything can't represent the face of the Six Fan School. I am here because of the imperial court. "
Su Xin was puzzled, "The imperial court?"
Tie Ao nodded and said, "The White Lotus Sect is stirring up trouble in Sanxiang. Now, the imperial court can no longer spare manpower to suppress the White Lotus Sect, so the imperial court wants to ask you to suppress the White Lotus Sect."
Hearing this, Su Xin couldn't help but sneer, "The imperial court has a good idea. When they need me, I will be a subject of the imperial court and have to fight to the death for them.
When they don't need me, I will be a traitor and will be annihilated by the imperial court's army. I, Su Xin, am not an idiot. Doing this kind of thing once is enough. Do you want to do it a second time? "
Tie Ao said in a deep voice, "This matter was my idea. I am also clear about what you did to the White Lotus Sect in Xiangnan. The White Lotus Sect is definitely not the type to swallow humiliation. Maybe Our Lady Of The Lotus is already planning to make a move against you.
Don't underestimate Our Lady Of The Lotus. You should have fought with her. However, at that time, Our Lady Of The Lotus was not at her peak. She should still have some hidden injuries that have not healed.
When Our Lady Of The Lotus comes out of seclusion and makes a move against you, Our Lady Of The Lotus will be at her peak. Although you are strong, you may not be able to beat her 100%.
Moreover, this time, the imperial court did not ask you to help Sanxiang for nothing. You can set any conditions. Of course, the imperial court will not agree to anything that is too excessive. "
Su Xin didn't agree directly. He just asked, "With the imperial court's strength, can't they even suppress the White Lotus Sect? Lord Tie, you led the Six Doors. Can't you suppress the White Lotus Sect? "
Tie Ao paused for a moment before saying, "Most of the imperial court's strength is being held up by Eastern Jin and the Golden Horde Kingdom. Every day that I am here, the defense line of Eastern Jin will be in danger. Therefore, although I can make a move, I am afraid that the White Lotus Sect will delay me here and affect the situation in Eastern Jin."
