Ouyang Shuo stated his conditions, and Ji Ying Fox instinctively wanted to bargain.
"It's not easy to deal with the Star Alliance."
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Ji Yinghu looked cool, but he liked to beat around the bush.
"You're wrong. To me, dealing with the Star Alliance is just a way to vent my anger. There are no real benefits. But for the two of them, it was a great opportunity. Pay and gain are always proportional, aren't they? "
Ji Yinghu was stunned when he heard Ouyang Shuo's words. He had not expected Ouyang Shuo to be so confident.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo was confident. If [Shadow Alliance] didn't want to cooperate with him, he could find another alliance. At that time, the ones who would suffer would be the two in front of him.
He believed that Ji Yinghu would never give up on this collaboration.
It was a negotiation. As long as the other party's bottom line was grasped, anything could be discussed.
Seeing that Ouyang Shuo was sitting on the fishing platform, Ji Ying Fox could only smile bitterly. It was not a good feeling to be caught by someone. He was also a decisive person. Seeing that things couldn't be done, he immediately gave up and nodded his head in agreement.
At this point, the cooperation between the three parties was completed.
Ouyang Shuo had no intention of bringing [Shadow Alliance] and [Dream Pavilion] into the Guild Alliance. Even if he wanted to bring them in, he would have to wait until they got rid of [Unhindered Sword Aura] and [Star Alliance] in the capital.
On the other hand, [A Thread] had successfully joined the Alliance of Mountains and Seas under Ouyang Shuo's recommendation.
In reality, Ouyang Shuo did not expect the Shadow Alliance and the Dream Pavilion to be able to defeat the Crisscrossing Sword Aura. Even defeating the Star Alliance would be difficult.
How could it be easy for [Crisscrossing Sword Aura] to dominate the capital? Since the hidden family behind the Star Alliance had decided to come out, they would definitely go all out.
Ouyang Shuo's goal was to keep the guilds in the capital in check and balance each other. He wanted to tie down the energy of the Star Alliance and the Unhindered Sword Aura so that they would be exhausted from dealing with the civil war.
Thus, Ouyang Shuo was satisfied.
In the end, it would be up to the Mountain and Sea Alliance to deal with these two guilds.
After sending off Shadow Fox and Dream Clouds Swallow Top, Ouyang Shuo stayed in the courtyard and did not go anywhere else. With the upcoming drama in the capital, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
That afternoon, a batch of elite equipment promised by Shanhai City, including 1,000 strong bows, 1,000 Divine Arm Crossbows, 500 heavy swords, and 2,000 shields, arrived at the capital.
Ouyang Shuo set the price at forty-four thousand gold coins and sold it to [Shadow Alliance] and [Dream House].
As for the price of the equipment, Ouyang Shuo added 10% to the base price within the Alliance. Even so, it still made Shadow Fox and Dream Clouds Swallow Top incredibly happy.
If such an Elite piece of equipment were to be sold on the market, it would be at least five to ten points more expensive.
Ouyang Shuo kept 20,000 gold coins from selling the equipment to make up for his investment in the Black Snake Guards and maintained the funds he had on hand at 50,000 gold coins.
The remaining 24,000 gold coins were transferred to the treasury.
The funds would be used as a special fund to expand the four major military workshops.
According to Shanhai City's plan, the military workshop area in the eastern district would be expanded eastward all the way to the river in the canyon. Even the docks along the river were included as military docks.
After the expansion, the area of the military workshop was more than five times larger than before. After a year of nurturing, thousands of mid-level blacksmiths were born, and they would support the rapid development of the military industry in the territory.
With the support of Shanhai City's equipment, [Shadow Alliance] and [Dream House] were full of confidence.
On the 4th of April, [Dream House] suddenly attacked [Star Alliance]'s leveling team in the third circle. [Star Alliance] was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
The main force of [Star Alliance] was still in prison. Facing [Dream House]'s relentless attacks, they were forced to give up a large number of leveling and resource gathering points.
[Crisscrossing Sword Aura] wanted to send reinforcements, but they were stopped by [Shadow Alliance].
For a moment, the atmosphere in the capital became unusually tense.
On the 5th of April, the main force of [Star Alliance] was released. Once they were released, they launched a powerful counterattack under the leadership of the various hall masters and fought with [Dream House].
[Dream House] had the initiative, so they were naturally not afraid and fought bravely.
The flames of war in the capital burned more and more fiercely, and the war between the guilds officially began. The various guilds in the China region were like the previous territories, facing a round of survival of the fittest.
The strong survived, and the weak perished.
Affected by the flames of war in the capital, challengers jumped out from the nine royal cities one after another, trying to challenge the top ten guilds. No, it should be the status of the nine guilds now.
[Wisp of a Thread] withdrew, and it just so happened that there was a top ten guild stationed in each royal city. The players were waiting to see who would fill the gap left by [Wisp of a Thread].
Taking this opportunity, the alliance of the Shanhai Alliance's guilds officially surfaced.
Three of the top ten guilds and one of the former top ten guilds joined hands, and the flames of war that had just been ignited stopped for a moment.
The guilds in Jianye, Luoyang, and Dali all stopped their banners and drums.
The withdrawal of the three cities caused the flames of war in the other royal cities to burn even more fiercely.
Apart from the capital that was already at war with each other, Xianyang had [Bloody Romance] guarding it, and no one dared to have any ideas about it. Xiangyang's [Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud] had the support of Lord Chunshen, and they could be considered to have a stable footing.
Chang 'an's [Embroidered Uniform Guard], Quanzhou's [Flowing Light Pavilion], and Chengdu's [Laojun Temple] were the top ten guilds that hadn't cooperated with the territories yet, but they had already become the main targets of the ambitious people.
[Laojun Temple], in particular, was ranked last, and was under the most pressure.
There used to be an unknown guild in Chengdu called the [Blazing Glory Society], and its president, Ming Ye, was also a descendant of a secretive aristocratic family, and it was said that his ancestor was once a member of the imperial family.
With the appearance of the [Blazing Glory Society], [Laojun Temple] became the dominant guild in Chengdu, and it gradually evolved into the "Two Heroes Guild". Rumor had it that the [Blazing Glory Society] had already joined forces with the Jianxia County of the Chengdu District.
As a result, [Laojun Temple] faced even more pressure.
The [Blazing Glory Society]'s strong rise became the best example of this round of guild wars.
Taking this opportunity, the Black Snake Guards also showed off their skills, taking advantage of the chaos, and planted spies in the major guilds. Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, sat on the fishing platform calmly. No one knew that he was the cause of this round of guild wars.
6th of April.
Ouyang Shuo brought the white snake to the teahouse again.
The waiter recognized Ouyang Shuo and enthusiastically led him to a private room that had been reserved.
"That young master in white hasn't arrived yet?"
"Not yet."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and waited patiently.
About half an hour later, the scholar in white appeared at the entrance of the teahouse.
The waiter had been guarding the door. When he saw the young master in white, he immediately greeted him.
"Young master, please come in!" As he spoke, he led the way to a private room.
The young master in white followed behind. Seeing that the destination was a private room, he asked in confusion, "Waiter, I only need a seat in the lobby. There's no need to go to a private room."
The waiter smiled and said, "To be honest, young master, there's a noble person waiting for you in a private room."
"Noble person? I don't know anyone in the Capital City. "
"Young master, you'll know when you go in!"
The young master in white was straightforward. "Alright, then I'll go in!"
Pushing open the screen of the private room, he saw a young man brewing tea with a focused expression.
When the young man heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo put down the tea set, stood up, and tidied up his clothes. According to the ancient etiquette, he cupped his hands, with the back of his hands facing outwards. After pushing them forward, he retracted them to his chest. "How can I say that I have no clothes?
The young master in white's eyes narrowed. Obviously, he knew Ouyang Shuo.
Among the historical figures, there were very few who didn't know of Ouyang Shuo's existence.
The young master in white was magnanimous. He returned the greeting and said, "Commoner Wei Yang greets Marquis Lian Province!"
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He was even more surprised than Wei Yang.
Wei Yang, the famous King of Shang during the Warring States Period, the representative of legalism, and the founder of Qin State's unification. Any of his titles were enough to make people feel deep veneration.
This time, he had done the right thing by 'waiting for the hare to come to him'.
"Please!"
The white snake stood up and sat behind Ouyang Shuo.
Wei Yang sat opposite Ouyang Shuo calmly. At this moment, Wei Yang also recognized that the Marquis Lian Province before him was the young man he met on the stairs.
It seemed that the Marquis Lian Province was waiting for him here.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Yang had already figured out the cause and effect.
Both of them were smart people. There were many things that didn't need to be said out loud. Since he had confirmed the other party's identity, Ouyang Shuo wasn't in a hurry. He accompanied Wei Yang and watched the chess game downstairs with great interest.
In the hall on the first floor, there was a huge chessboard. Every time the players made a move, there would be a specialist to review the game and place the corresponding huge chess pieces on the chessboard for the guests to watch.
Ouyang Shuo wasn't proficient in the way of chess.
In his previous life, he was just an adventure-type player. He didn't have the leisure to do so.
However, after Jiang Shang settled down in Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo would occasionally accompany the old man to play a few games. Although he would be defeated every time, his chess skills improved rapidly.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was able to understand a thing or two when he saw the chess game downstairs. As for Wei Yang, he was a top expert in the way of chess and was proficient in it.
The game of chess lasted for two hours.
The white snake, who was sitting behind Ouyang Shuo, couldn't sit still.
Heaven took pity on him. As a mercenary, it didn't matter if you asked him to go into battle to kill the enemy, spy on them, or disguise them. But chess? Oh my god, it was a form of torture.
The white snake looked at the increasingly full chessboard and felt like he was reading a book from heaven. He really couldn't understand why the Marquis didn't directly invite Wei Yang since he already knew his identity. Instead, he was watching the game.
Such inefficiency wasn't the Marquis's usual style.
How could the white snake know that Wei Yang was different from others? Unless he was willing to become an official, it would be hard to persuade such a great talent.
With Wei Yang's style, he would rather linger in the teahouses and taverns than visit the various places. Ouyang Shuo knew that Wei Yang had the intention to live in seclusion.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo seemed to be watching the game on the surface, but he was actually trying to figure out what Wei Yang wanted. How could he persuade this representative of legalism to come out of seclusion?
It was difficult!
