Tie Ao did not hide the current situation of the Zhou Kingdom. In fact, there was no need for him to hide it.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the current situation of the Zhou Kingdom. Moreover, the Shadow Guard was an intelligence organization second only to the Six Doors. It was very easy for Su Xin to investigate the current situation of the Zhou Kingdom.
Su Xin squinted his eyes. His face was expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking.
Originally, the matter of the Xiangnan Path was just some friction between him and the White Lotus Sect. Of course, this friction was a little big. It depended on whether the two sides were serious.
Therefore, in this current situation, if the White Lotus Sect and Su Xin each took a step back, the two sides would definitely not fight.
However, now that Tie Ao had appeared here and told Su Xin that he could set his conditions, Su Xin could not help but have some other thoughts.
Looking at Tie Ao, Su Xin said in a deep voice, "If I say that I want the entire Sanxiang, will the imperial court give it to me?"
Tie Ao's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. After a while, he said, "What a bold idea."
Su Xin's idea was not just bold. If Ji Xuanyuan and the others heard this, they would definitely scold Su Xin for being arrogant.
The Sanxiang was different from the Northwest Path. Although the area of the two was similar, Ji Xuanyuan had agreed to give the Northwest Path to Su Xin because the imperial court had never really controlled the Northwest Path.
At that time, the Northwest Path had always been in the hands of the northwestern foreign tribes. If this place was given to Su Xin, if Su Xin could open up the situation, everything would be fine. If not, the imperial court would not be at a disadvantage.
The Sanxiang had always been in the hands of the dragon of the Zhou Kingdom and had always been in the hands of the Zhou Kingdom. Now that Su Xin wanted to take over the Sanxiang, this was no longer an exorbitant demand. Perhaps even a dragon would not be as greedy as Su Xin.
Tie Ao was just a mouthpiece. Since the Zhou Kingdom was the Zhou Kingdom of the Ji Royal Family, he naturally would not feel bad.
However, Su Xin's condition was somewhat unreliable. Tie Ao said directly, "The Zhou Kingdom Royalty will not agree to your conditions. The Sanxiang has three paths. Although it is the weakest path in the Zhou Kingdom, they will not give it to you so easily.
If they choose to agree to your conditions, then the Zhou Kingdom might as well go to the Eastern Jin Kingdom or the Golden Horde Kingdom to compromise. I estimate that their price will be lower than yours. "
Su Xin said lightly, "But at least I still have the title of the Northwest King under the Zhou Kingdom. The Sanxiang will be occupied by me. It is better than being controlled by the White Lotus Sect or compromising to the enemy country.
Of course, the Zhou Kingdom can also not agree because I am not begging the Zhou Kingdom, but the Zhou Kingdom is begging me. After all, the White Lotus Sect is not weak. In a situation where there are no absolute benefits, there is no need for me to let my men fight to the death with the White Lotus Sect. "
Tie Ao frowned. Su Xin's current appearance was practically saying that he was going to hit him when he was down, but Tie Ao could not say anything.
After all, the previous actions of the Zhou Kingdom had already caused Su Xin to completely break off relations with the Zhou Kingdom. At this time, if Su Xin did not hit him when he was down and chose to help selflessly, then he would not be Su Xin.
Tie Ao frowned and said, "I will bring your conditions to Ji Xuanyuan, but whether the Ji Royal Family will agree to it is not certain."
Su Xin said lightly, "I said it before. Right now, I am not the one begging the Zhou Kingdom, but the Zhou Kingdom is begging me."
Tie Ao sighed in his heart. His figure moved like a goshawk, spreading its wings for thousands of miles. In an instant, he had disappeared without a trace.
Actually, the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom had done many wrong things over the years, but the two biggest mistakes were forcing the death of the "Mad Lion" Du Yuansheng and forcing Su Xin to rebel.
The former greatly damaged the combat power of the Zhou Kingdom at its peak. It also caused the Zhou Kingdom to leave behind an opponent, Eastern Jin, to struggle at death's door and constantly cause trouble for the Zhou Kingdom.
The latter caused the Zhou Kingdom to lose a powerful ally and caused the Zhou Kingdom to fall into countless troubles.
To Tie Ao, the Zhou Kingdom was a dynasty that he had put in countless efforts to build. If there were no accidents, Tie Ao naturally did not want the Zhou Kingdom to weaken.
But now, the Zhou Kingdom was not up to him. Tie Ao was helpless about this.
When Tie Ao rushed back to Shengjing City, he told Ji Xuanyuan about Su Xin's conditions. Ji Xuanyuan shouted angrily, "Is Su Xin crazy? He also wanted the land of Sanxiang. What exactly did he want?
If so, I might as well give up Beijiang and Eastern Jin in exchange for a truce to suppress Xiangnan! "
Tie Ao said faintly, "This depends on your decision, Master. After all, Su Xin is just a feudal lord. Even if he has broken off relations with the Zhou Kingdom, he is still a feudal lord of the Zhou Kingdom.
Whether to give up territory to the enemy in exchange for a truce or to compromise with Su Xin, it depends on Master's choice. However, Su Xin is right about one thing. Now, the Zhou Kingdom is begging Su Xin, not Su Xin begging the Zhou Kingdom. So, the one who has the upper hand is Su Xin. After all, whether or not to attack the White Lotus Sect fully depends on Su Xin himself. "
Ji Xuanyuan shook his head as a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
So what if he was an Earth Immortal in the Martial Arts Realm? Since he was in this position, there were many things he had to worry about.
After a while, Ji Xuanyuan said to Tie Ao, "Send a message to Su Xin. Agree to his request. We can give him Sanxiang, but he must still be the Northwest King of the Zhou Kingdom. If Su Xin wants to establish his own country, then the Zhou Kingdom will destroy him first even if we have to give up Beijiang and Eastern Jin!"
Tie Ao nodded and immediately arranged for someone from Six Fan School to pass the news to Su Xin through a secret channel. He, on the other hand, had to return to the defense line of East Jin as soon as possible. Otherwise, something might happen in East Jin.
As for the last point that Ji Xuanyuan mentioned, Tie Ao was not worried. Su Xin was not an idiot. The entire Central Plains was only so big. Now that Su Xin had established his own country, he would not have any conflicts with anyone. However, once he established his own country, he would not only have to worry about the Zhou Kingdom.
Su Xin's Northwest Road was also connected to the Golden Horde Kingdom. At that time, the Golden Horde Kingdom would also become his enemy.
In Tie Ao's opinion, no matter how powerful Su Xin was, he still belonged to the Jianghu. His ambition was different from Ji Haodian's.
Meanwhile, in Shangshan City, Six Fan School had sent the message to Su Xin in less than a day.
Seeing the imperial court's reply, Su Xin could not help but smile.
As he had expected, the imperial court had compromised. It was better to have Sanxiang in his hands than to have it occupied by the White Lotus Sect or to compromise and sign a truce with the Golden Horde Kingdom or Eastern Jin.
Moreover, Ji Xuanyuan did not dare to make a move. It was not only because he needed to guard Shengjing City, but also because he was afraid that he would lose.
Our Lady Of The Lotus was not easy to deal with. When she recovered to her peak, Ji Xuanyuan would most likely not be her match.
Yan Qingxue walked behind Su Xin and asked doubtfully, "Brother Su, the White Lotus Sect is so powerful. If we help the imperial court defeat the White Lotus Sect just to take over Sanxiang, wouldn't it be a waste? Sanxiang has always been barren. There's not much value in it. "
Having been the City Lord of Shangshan City for so many years, Yan Qingxue was no longer the ignorant little girl of the past. After all these years of training, at least her horizons had been broadened.
For example, when she announced in Shangshan City that she would help the wandering martial artists for free. What she had contributed was actually very little. It was not worth mentioning compared to the wealth of Shangshan City. However, it was considered a timely help, and the wandering martial artists were extremely grateful.
Although there were some people who fished in troubled waters, most of the martial artists were still very principled. As long as ten percent of them remembered the kindness of Shangshan City, Yan Qingxue would have profited.
The current Yan Qingxue had also learned to look at many things from the perspective of benefits. In any case, from her point of view, Su Xin had spent a lot of effort to attack the White Lotus Society. Although he managed to take down Sanxiang in the end, it was still not worth it.
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Don't think that Sanxiang is so weak. During the last years of the Great Jin, Sanxiang was not weak.
Now, the martial world only knows that I am the strongest martial artist from Sanxiang, but in reality, how many martial artists from Sanxiang were from the last years of the Great Jin?
Needless to say, the Ji royal family of the Zhou Kingdom were actually people from Sanxiang. There was also the Sanxiang Martial Union of Du Yuansheng. It could be said that the entire Sanxiang had produced several martial artists of the True Martial Realm at that time. The number of martial artists under them was even more uncountable.
Moreover, because of the harsh environment of Sanxiang and its proximity to the Southern Barbarian Land, the martial artists here were more radical and violent, and their combat power was also very strong.
Otherwise, due to the internal strife between Great Zhou and Sanxiang's Martial Union, Sanxiang would not be in such a state right now.
As long as we wait for a few more decades, when Sanxiang regains its vitality, it will definitely be able to produce a lot of martial artists.
What I want Sanxiang is not the various products of Sanxiang, but the people of Sanxiang!
After all, the Northwest Road is the territory of those Northwest tribes. Those who are not of my tribe will have different intentions. I can use them, but I don't dare to put them in an important position.
On the other hand, the number of Rogue Cultivators in the Northwest is very limited. If the Northwest Army and Shadow Guards under my command want to expand again, then they must have enough talents, and Sanxiang is a good choice. "
Su Xin explained to Yan Qingxue in great detail, and he believed that Yan Qingxue could understand.
Some people's martial arts talent was poor, but it did not mean that they were poor in other areas. At least, Su Xin had long known that Yan Qingxue's talent in business was very good. Moreover, she had managed Merchant Mountain City for so many years, which could also prove her ability.
Now, the person who took care of all kinds of affairs under Su Xin was Huang Bingcheng. It was not because Huang Bingcheng's ability was irreplaceable, but because Su Xin could completely trust him. Now that there was Yan Qingxue, Huang Bingcheng could also relax a little.
