Chapter 533: Laozi

Shi Lei's words sounded very interesting to Xue Mu.
It sounds like you are complimenting your woman for being beautiful, like a polite remark, but the question is, what are the identities of both parties?
You Shi Lei is Mo Xuexin's nephew... Using this attitude to evaluate your friend's wife?
Mo Xuexin's expression was cold, and there was obviously a terrible anger in his eyes, and he resisted without attack. She didn't know if Shi Lei's remarks were trying to test her relationship with Xue Mu, or were she purely expressing that she did not recognize her as the owner of the valley? After experiencing the humiliation of falling to the bottom of the valley and committing herself to others, she has learned to stop being reckless and let Xue Mu lead the scene.
Xue Mu did not respond to this topic, but smiled calmly: "Brother Mu is already in the past, so why bother to mention it."
Shi Lei nodded and made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Xue, please, let's introduce him, Brother Rong."
"I don't need to introduce it, I recognize it." Xue Mu stepped into the pavilion and said with a smile: "Sect Master Yun, don't come here without problems."
Yun Qianhuang bowed his hand: "Although he is hostile to Director Xue, no matter where he goes, Director Xue can change the situation and become the leader. I admire this ability."
Xue Mu didn't say much, turning to a man who was completely wrapped in a black robe and couldn't see his face: "Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Sect Master Zhen Canyue Zhen?"
The black-robed man replied with a hoarse voice and arched his hands: "It's Zhen. Mr. Xue is the pride of our poison repairers, and Zhen admires it."
He didn't even call himself "this seat", but called "Zhen". It can be seen that no matter what their stand, these people's importance to Xue Mu is self-evident.
Xue Mu again gave his hand to the middle-aged man on the main seat: "Seven Profound Valley Stones are not different from the Great Elder?"
The big man replied: "Mr. Xue once gave his nephew a life-saving grace, Shi Mou thanked him here."
Shi Lei is Shi Buyi's nephew, and it also represents that the family system within the sect is formed due to the blood descendants in the sects. This is a very widespread phenomenon, and the template of the second generation of Wu came from this. For example, Zheng Haoran and Zheng Yichen's brothers are also the nephews of Zheng Yezhi, and it is commonplace that the natural door Leng Qingshi whom Xue Mu knows is directly the son of the suzerain.
"It's not a life-saving grace." Xue Mu looked at Shi Lei and said with a smile: "At the beginning, Brother Shi gave his life to save thousands of people from the rivers and lakes, and Xue was among them. It can only be regarded as a mutual aid. Actually, Brother Shi really should be grateful for the kindness of someone else."
Shi Lei was taken aback by Xue Mu's words: "Does Mr. Xue mean Mu Jianli?"
"No." Xue Mu shook his head and said: "Brother Shi knows that when I and Xiahou were just planning a rookie score, Lord Mo Gu was still in the capital. She saw the rookie score and the first thing she did was to go. I'm looking for President Xiahou to arrest the relationship, hoping to put you into the second period. This is the love and support of the elders to their disciples, shouldn't you be grateful?"
Shi Lei looked at Mo Xuexin, Mo Xuexin's face looked like frost, and there was no response.
Elder Shen said loudly: "The friendship between the master of the valley and the doorman is more than just two pieces. Some people have a passion for profit, but their conscience is eaten by dogs."
Shi Lei sighed, "Everyone, sit down and drink a glass of water and wine."
Xue Mu sat down unwillingly, and Qin Wuye sat next to him with a smile, Ye Guying hidden behind him. Mo Xuexin hesitated, and sat down next to Xue Mu. The three elders stood behind her.
In the small pavilion on the stone platform, three pairs of three, Shi Lei is responsible for pouring the wine, doing what the juniors should do.
Seeing Shi Lei pouring wine silently, Xue Mu smiled and said: "Speaking of Xue, I am curious. You just come here. Seeing that the combat power is not enough, are you really afraid of being taken directly by us?"
Shi Buyi smiled: "There is another person in the peach forest, but the one who doesn't want to sit here."
Xue Mu said directly: "Leng Zhu?"
Shi Buyi didn't speak, not knowing whether it was or not.
"Whether it is or not, since it's a negotiation, Xue Mou won't lift the table." Xue Mu said and touched the ring, seemingly habitually wanting to dig out a fan to make a pair of lupine towels. I remembered that the fan was gone. He coughed twice, took a drink to cover up his embarrassment, and continued: "Just talk, the two sides exchange prisoners, and don't engage in this kind of hostage threat. How to fight in the future will be honest and upright. Elder Shi can have opinion?"
Shi Buyi sighed, "Honestly speaking, the conditions are reasonable. In fact, we have suffered too much. Because your captives are basically the younger generation, and we have captured several powerful elders. Once the tiger is released, the comparison of strength will be better. It will cause a tilt, not just a question of whether there is a hostage threat."
Mo Xuexin couldn't help cursing: "They are also the brothers you grew up with since childhood!"
Shi Buyi said indifferently: "At this moment, there is no need to say this. Since the negotiation, it is to talk about things, and strive to achieve a result acceptable to both parties. You hope to rescue the prisoners, and we also hope that this is sitting tonight. The premise here is that everything else is imaginary."
Xue Mu waved his hand to stop Mo Xuexin's anger, and said with a smile: "In the opinion of Elder Shi, what kind of exchange should be reached?"
Shi Budi said: "Equal exchange of combat power. Everyone puts back young children, and those who are strong in Dao cannot be indulged. We can guarantee that if we fight, we will not threaten them."
Xue Mu said leisurely: "Your guarantee, you can't believe a word now."
Shi Budi said: "What about Mr. Xue's meaning?"
"I think it is feasible to exchange the young children on a peer-to-peer basis. And those elders...what about other conditions?"
"For example, Manager Xue let go of the resource blockade?" Shi Buyi smiled: "Manager Xue's move really makes us very passive. But the drawbacks of this move will take a long time to appear, and we can also find another way to crack it. , You can be bitten back on the spot, which can still be distinguished below."
"Tsk... you deserve to be a hero who can plan a rebellion, you can think clearly." Xue Muyou said: "I wonder how much reference has Governor Cheng provided to you?"
Shi Buyi choked and shut up without answering.
"The court's support, this is your confidence in breaking my resource blockade... After all, we can't openly rebel and can't lock the court, right?" Xue Mu smiled: "But presumably Elder Shi doesn't know yet, the court has no way now. Openly admit your orthodoxy, even if you have assistance, you can only sneak in. But this sneaky, it doesn't represent the court, we are still the same in the six ways, without pressure."
Shi Buyi finally changed his tone: "Why Manager Xue said this?"
"Because Ji Wuyou is not an emperor with power alone." Xue Mu smiled happily: "Any decision he makes will be severely constrained, and Xue is the one who can constrain him the most."
Shi Buyi coldly snorted: "Is Mr. Xue too confident? He thought he had cut off our envoy to Beijing to celebrate? Mr. Xue probably didn't know. Two days ago, the manager of Hongu in Beijing had already participated in your majesty's on behalf of us. For the celebration, the representatives of the various sects of the righteous path are listed. The world acquiesces, and your Majesty supports it. Even the queen mother and the eldest princess can't force us to define us as rebellious, right?"
Mo Xue's heart twitched and couldn't help looking at Xue Mu. In the past two days, this guy has been working her. Is there still a place in the capital? If it is true that the whole world acquiesces to the orthodoxy of the same stone, the advantage it brings to them is more than a broken blockade!
Xue Mu laughed: "It's really pitiful, it's been two days, you don't know what happened at the celebration banquet?"
At this moment, someone rushed from a distance. Shi Lei temporarily guilty and left, welcoming someone to ask a few questions.
In less than a moment, Tieqing returned to the pavilion with a face and looked at Xue Mu for a long time before sighing in a low voice: "Mr. Xue is strategizing, winning a thousand miles, and admiring him."
Two days ago, the sect of the world entered a celebration feast to celebrate the succession of the new emperor.
From the top sects to the subordinate sects, the representatives are gathered together, basically representing the whole Da Zhou Zhengdao martial artist. What’s more interesting is that when I asked the sword to change ownership, all the top sects congratulated the suzerain, and even asked the heavenly Taoists to come, and this new emperor’s ascension to the throne, the top sects were all young representatives, Yulin, Leng Qingshi Ah what, it highlights the importance of the emperor in the hearts of the top sect.
Among them, there was no one to ask Jianzong.
Ji Wuyou sat on the throne to host a banquet for the guests, with a smile on his face, but he didn't know how aggrieved. It's no wonder that the father has been weakening and suppressing the right way all his life, and no one can stand it in this position!
His eyes fell on the representative of Seven Profound Valley, this one was even more miserable. He was just a very low-level manager in Beijing. Because the regular representative was intercepted by a rampage on the road, Seven Profound Valley was responding to Xue Mu’s counterattack at this time, and did not dare to break out of the powerful force and run as a messenger. Naturally, those who came to the celebration could only be a small manager. Under the strange gaze of Yulin and others, shivering.
But regardless of the level of the steward, his greatest advantage is that he can represent the seven profound valleys of the top sect and express full surrender to the new emperor. This symbolic meaning is more important than anything else.
Ji Wuyou looked at the steward and motioned him to take the lead and kneel to celebrate.
The steward stepped out of the crowd knowingly, kneeling and shouting: "Seven Profound Valley congratulates my emperor..."
Before the words fell, a loud announcement from the inner guard came from outside the hall: "Ask Sect Master Mu to congratulate my emperor!"
Following the voice, Yi Xi Bai Chang strode into the hall with a biting sword intent, and her cold voice was just like her face: "Ask Jianzong Mu Jianli to congratulate the new emperor."
The representatives of the Hundred Schools could not help but exclaim. It is already very rare to ask Sword Sect to participate in this kind of affairs for the first time, and it is actually the Sect Master who came! Is this new emperor's face so big?
But Ji Wuyou's heart sank suddenly. Mu Jianli...This is definitely not a good thing...
He couldn't show it in public, he could only smile and said, "Wen Jianhou is interested, please take a seat."
Mu Jianli stood straight at the door, her beautiful eyes fixed like a sword on the body of Qixuangu steward who was kneeling in the temple: "Who is this, who actually wears seven mysterious colored clothes?"
Yulin said in the seat: "It is indeed the representative of the Seven Profound Valley."
"A rebellious, slave-looking maidservant, An dare to represent the Seven Profounds of the Millennium? I asked Jianzong, but I didn't admit it!"
