Into Xuancheng Xianxian, From Not Being A Son-In-Law

Chapter 156 A Big Gamble

Could it be that the talks between the high priest and the chief assistant of Dayan collapsed like this, and they can only return without success?

But at The next moment, the old man who weighed Sheji changed his tone, and said with a smile: "Since you want to gamble, bet thoroughly, and I will also increase the size."

"Wangsha City is not enough. If Dayan withdraws from the desert in one go, except for Wangsha City, those passes are also gone."

"But in this comparison, the ordinary covenant is too petty, right? Change it to Da Mo bowing his head to Day Yan."

"In this way, I think it's interesting, but I don't know what the high priest wants?"

Dayan Shoufu re-divided the bets and placed them on both ends of the scale.

Aleph, Prince of the Desert, is the most sensitive to the gamble of confiscating the country and bowing his head. He suddenly looked at the old man representing the Great Yan court. Wan's fate will be changed accordingly!

Aleph couldn't help thinking, if he was standing in front of the steelyard, would he dare to raise like this?

He asked own heartfelt.

No matter how unruly, no matter how perverse, no matter how much he occupies legal orthodoxy.

In fact, they all lack this boldness.

Even if he is not the raiser, but is in the position of the high priest, I am afraid that he will hesitate at both ends of the first mouse at this time, not knowing what to do...

But the high priest did not hesitate.

He just thought for a while, then said: "That's it."

Zhang Shoufu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he glanced at Aleph who was breathing heavily after hearing the high priest's reply, and said with great interest, "Oh? Shouldn't the high priest ask the Desert King for instructions?"

The high priest said indifferently: "Shouldn't Zhang Shoufu also need to give a performance to that Emperor Dayan first?"

"Haha, there's no need for His Majesty to ask about such a trivial matter among the juniors."

Zhang Shoufu stood up rubbing his knees that were faintly stabbed by the cold autumn wind, walked out slowly, and waved his hands without looking back, as a polite farewell.

"Then it's settled like this. When the high priest starts to put on a show, please tell me. At that time, I, an old bone, will also go to see the excitement of young people, and feel the beauty of being in full bloom..."

There are no contracts in black and white.

No trial and error, multiple witnesses.

The future of the desert is put on the scale under the weight of the two old people coming and going.

It wasn't until the chair that Dayan's chief assistant sat had completely cooled down, and there was no breath left, that Aleph came back to his senses belatedly. priest.

After hesitating again and again, he still couldn't help asking: "High Priest, is this...too big a gamble?"

It's not about trust or not, it's just that the situation suddenly got out of control like this, beyond expectations, and the future of Damo was bet on it, which made it hard for the prince who was very likely to inherit the throne of Damo in the future to accept it suddenly.

"Prince Aleph, we have no retreat."

The high priest is also Aleph's Master, but just as Aleph calls the high priest, he is also called a prince.

Aleph nodded heavily after a long silence.

There is indeed no way out.

As the prince of the desert, he knows what kind of situation the desert is in now.

Either take back Wangsha City.

With that fertile land, there will be enough food in the future, and the desert is still a desert.

either...

The best way is to get food from rich neighbors.

But how to do it?

A long time ago, they invaded and plundered, but in exchange for horses trampling on the desert, Da Yan built the Wangsha City in the desert.

Although the two countries have been trading with each other for a long time now, Wangsha City is already a huge market frequented by merchants. It is no longer the border town where the blood on the city walls never dried up.

But under the golden mountain and silver sea, Da Yanke never relaxed his control over Wangsha City.

On the contrary, no matter how high the gold mountain is and how deep the silver sea is, Da Yan has a firm grasp on it and never slacks off.

What is it that you are grasping?

Mutual market.

What can and cannot be sold.

In addition to conventional prohibited items such as ironware, food is also a strictly prohibited business in Wangsha City.

There are hundreds of shops and not a single food store.

In Wangsha City, even if you were caught selling illegal salt, the consequences would be worse than if you were caught selling grain illegally.

Perhaps it was the plan that the Duke of Da Yan had laid when he dug through the desert. The land left in the desert could not grow enough food at all.

After Dayan grasped the grain tightly.

The growing food gap in the desert is like the rising temperature of the water when boiling a frog.

Either seek change or wait for death.

In addition to Da Yan, Da Mo has of course considered other countries, but even if other countries do not have the same grudge against Da Mo as Da Yan, who is the philanthropic person who can dominate a country?

There is no need to ask others for a way out, Da Mo has been trying.

Have been exploring further east of the desert.

But after exhausting the limits of manpower and exploring the scope, they only found a land of yellow sand that is far more cruel than the desert. It can no longer be described as barren, but there is nothing except yellow sand. Death place.

There is no life, only Death.

Da Mo, who had no way out, just chose the latter between destruction and survival, so he put aside his regrets and went to Da Yan.

To sum it up, the soldier leader's coming out indirectly helped Da Mo.

Otherwise, how could Dayan, with its strong national power, take Wangsha Pass as a bet?

But this is the only option in the desert, and there is no retreat.

As for sending troops to respond to Binggui, this might be able to drag Da Yan into the quagmire and make the giant beast fall hard, but when Da Yan falls, Da Mo will most likely be crushed to death.

After all, it is as strong as the leader of the army, and it is impossible to split it into two and control Hanwu and Damo at the same time.

Before setting off this time, the high priest and the King of the Desert had secret talks. The original plan was to cede many benefits from Dayan in exchange for a stable food supply and win the right to continue to survive.

As for the form of the covenant, it is actually just a more acceptable way of speaking.

At least in name it seems like a mutually supportive alliance.

It's just that Da Mo gave more and Da Yan gave less.

It's just that Dayan's chief minister may have had a sharp vision and saw that Da Mo was already standing on the cliff. Maybe he just had a big appetite and the superficial covenant was not enough.

Not even the last bit of face was spared.

The high priest glanced at Aleph, Amul and others, and said softly: "Go and have a good rest. The future of the desert will depend on your performance in the next three days."

Da Yan's chief assistant did not ask for a day on which the desert people's showdown would begin, because every day it was delayed, the overall situation would only be more beneficial to Da Yan.

Therefore, the day when the desert welcomes its destiny will naturally come as soon as possible.
