Fish swimming around the world

In the second shed, he met Yi Hai. They were all hostile, so there was not much to say, and he didn't want to say anything. In the end, Jiang Fan only left a sentence, saying that he should think more about the name Yi Hai, and then turned around and left.

As for Taiyue, he didn't go there at all. Yin Yangzi had already seen him, so there was no need to be bothered by this Yin Yang guy again.

There were dozens of sheds, except Taihua and Taiyue, and the others were basically mixed, and no one managed them in detail, but everyone chose their own places according to the situation.

Jiang Fan visited them one by one, some were happy to see, and some were not happy with each other. Anyway, since no one provoked him too much, he was too lazy to make trouble at this time.

Only when he visited Wenqiu, Lin Tingchen was a little restless, as if he had something bad on his mind, but he hesitated several times, and finally just talked to him about the war.

However, Jiang Fan was a little surprised that at the end, he actually met Yu Qingcheng and Xuefang.

The two of them sat opposite each other in a corner of a shed full of famous people from the Chu State and drank tea.

Jiang Fan went forward to greet him and found out that Yu Qingcheng came to congratulate him in the name of the leader of Qianji Sect, while Xuefang claimed to come on behalf of the Snow Lotus Sect.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but grin. Yu Qingcheng's Qianji Sect had a close relationship with the Mohist School, but it had nothing to do with the Taoist School. Although it was reasonable for her to come as a congratulatory guest, it was obviously not her real purpose. As for Xuefang, let alone the Snow Lotus Sect, it was a cult. It was good enough that the Taoist School didn't destroy it, but it was not delivered to the door.

Sure enough, Yu Qingcheng came to see him on purpose.

She did not hide it: "I am here for two things. First, to confirm that my brother is indeed a Taoist. Second, the key is that I want to know what my brother is planning for Xia Country."

Jiang Fan also walked around and had plenty of time, so he simply sat down and said, "Be direct. Sister just wants to know how many of the Sixteen States of Southern Xia I want, right?"

Yu Qingcheng nodded: "Since you know it all, you should be direct too."

Jiang Fan opened his hands, raised one finger on his left hand and one on his right hand, with two fingers in parallel.

Yu Qingcheng snorted heavily: "Eleven states, that's almost the whole of Xia Nan, don't you think you are too greedy?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and chuckled: "I have the appetite and the teeth."

Yu Qingcheng sneered: "Why not tell you that Yunnan and Chu have formed an alliance, and the two major countries will take four states? Do you think we are so easy to deal with?"

Jiang Fan said lightly: "Feng Chen gets one of the five states in the southeast, and you get four. That's enough. What you want is just a springboard. If it is too big, it will not only be useless, but also require laborious cross-river governance. I think you all know it in your heart."

"What if I don't know it?"

Yu Qingcheng stared at him coldly.

Jiang Fan knew that this was her real purpose, to understand her bottom line.

"Xia Nan, I have a strategic advantage. I think even if the Yunnan-Chu alliance is unwilling to directly conflict with me here. If something unpleasant happens, it will be easy to lose the four states that you two have finally obtained."

"Jiang Fan, are you threatening me?" Yu Qingcheng's voice was a little sharp.

"No, no, sister misunderstood. This is a war, it's very chaotic, and any problem may cause chaos. Since sister is here, isn't it that she intends to make it clear in advance that both sides should not interfere with each other?"

Yu Qingcheng snorted: "It seems that you know it very well. Then, the four states south of Dayan Mountain, Qin State shall not interfere."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "We are still allies. If there are benefits, we should share them. Sister, rest assured that your brother will not eat alone."

Yu Qingcheng nodded: "In this case, there are some things to say. According to my observation, Qin and Xia will have a decisive battle in Yuncheng. If you succeed in achieving your goal, what will be the next step?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Of course, listen to the orders of the imperial court. If Xia State is still unwilling to give up, if there are still people who disturb the world, Qin State should attack them."

"Imperial Court..." Yu Qingcheng cut: "It's not your own business, there is no need to hide. Xiabei, our Great Chu is too far away, Yunnan The Chu Alliance does not consider occupying land, but we will also participate in this war. You know what we want. "

Jiang Fan nodded: "You two are wise. To be honest, my Qin State does not plan to cross Dayan Mountain. After all, if we cross it, we will border Jin State. I don't want my allies to have wild thoughts. I will give this narrow strip of land to my sister as a passage. As for what we can get, it depends on our ability. "

"Okay! But you, a sinister person, can't stab me in the back. "

"Hehe, sister is worried that I will cut off this narrow strip? There is no need. Jin State is an ally and cannot cause problems, so I won't go. Moreover, compared with this, Xiabei, which has vast and rich land, is much more tempting. To say something jokingly, even if we want to plot, there is Wei State, with large tracts of good places. I don't have the time or the leisure to care about your small strip. "

Yu Qingcheng looked at him, his eyes eased, and he seemed a little relieved.

"It's a deal."

"Of course, but no matter what you take, you can't occupy the city's land. This is the principle."

"No problem!"

Yu Qingcheng knew that if she wanted to keep this passage and plunder the benefits, she had to agree, and there was no need to refuse. Under the current situation, how could Chu State possibly govern the land of Xiabei through that narrow strip of land?

She stood up after she finished speaking: "Sister, don't you have something to ask for the King of Dian? I won't bother you. Jiang Fan, someone wants to see you in the pine forest in the north of the mountain later."

After that, she turned around and left.

Jiang Fan laughed: "Ms. Xuefang, your alliance is solid enough. She actually let you talk to me alone."

Xue Fang nodded slightly: "She had no choice. Since we have formed an alliance, we should show some generosity."

Jiang Fan chuckled: "I think the premise of your alliance is to plot against Daqin."

"Of course." Xue Fang did not shy away: "Your brother-in-law said that you must understand his intention."

Jiang Fan certainly understood, because this was something they both knew.

"I came here on the orders of the king to tell you two things."

"Please tell me."

"The first one is that Ying Pei is dead."

Jiang Fan was really surprised. Ying Wuming also went to the Great Snow Mountain. He didn't know that. He just thought that he had sent two hundred masters.

"Dead?"

"Yes." Xue Fang nodded: "Ying Pei came to persuade Wuming to counterattack Daqin. Wuming thought it was simply a perverse act, so... he died."

Jiang Fan sighed secretly. Wuming was really decisive. Since Ying Pei returned, it meant that he had lost the value of keeping him in the Western Regions. What was left was a restless and ambitious person. There was no need to keep him.

As for how he died, Jiang Fan didn't want to ask. In any case, it was a tragedy for the father to die at the hands of his son.

Unexpectedly, Xue Fang directly admitted: "I killed him."

Jiang Fan was stunned, and instantly realized that Wuming couldn't do it himself, and Xue Fang was undoubtedly very suitable. But what was touching was that Xue Fang really considered Wuming.

Xue Fang continued: "There are some related things about this matter. It was the news brought by Ying Pei. Ying Wutian established a country in Xie Luo and named the country Hu."
