Chapter 314 Sauvignon Blanc 71
Ling Xi handed Ruoshou a letter, and Ruoshou opened it and read it carefully.

Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "Dianxuan's plan is quite good, but he overlooked the fact that the White Tiger Tribe and the Changxi Tribe think highly of you, Your Highness. What you gave to these two tribes is far from what Dixuan can compare to."

Anian took the letter, took a look at it, and became angry.

"Xuan, this shameless man, actually wants to split our Haoling from within. How despicable."

Ling Xi said calmly: "This is just a trick. The fact that he can use it proves that he saw the opportunity before."

The Baihu and Changxi tribes did have some opinions about King Hao Ling before, but these opinions disappeared after Ling Xi got along with the four Hao Ling tribes.

After all, Ling Xi had studied in four departments, and everyone in the four departments had seen her abilities.

As such a talented heir, all four departments are full of expectations for her.

"But," Ling Xi changed the subject, "Since he did this, I have to give him a gift in return."

"Yiying, write a letter to Xinyue and ask her to have a good talk with Xiao Yanxi and the elders of the Chishui clan. Otherwise, Chishui Fenglong might die on this battlefield."

Yiying's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied with a smile: "Yes, Your Highness."

They haven't seen each other since Xinyue left Haoling at the Young Master's enthronement ceremony decades ago.

However, they still send messages to each other from time to time.

After Xinyue returned, she participated more actively in the family affairs of the Chishui clan, and gradually entered the core of the family.

Today, Xinyue's power and prestige in the Chishui clan are not much inferior to those of Chishui Fenglong, the young master's heir.

During this process, when Xinyue encountered some difficult things, she would write to Lingxi for advice. Lingxi would write back to teach her what to do, and would also ask his subordinates to provide appropriate help to Xinyue.

Therefore, the Chishui clan had not mentioned the marriage with Xuan for decades.

Xinyue used her own power to make the Chishui clan put her on an equal footing with the heir, thus escaping the fate of an arranged marriage.

Many people from the Chishui clan also participated in the expedition against Haoling, and formed a separate team under the command of Chishui Fenglong.

But now that Chishui Xian is dead, if the Chishui clan wants to save Chishui Fenglong, they must negotiate terms with Ling Xi, the Young Master Haoling.

If the Chishui clan stops helping Xuanxuan, then taking over Xiyan will be just around the corner.

Xiyan Camp.

After learning that he had lost two generals, Xuanxuan felt dizzy.

Feng Long stood beside him with bandages on his body, also looking depressed.

However, there was even more discouraging news for the two.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Tushan clan that all of their shops in Haoling were closed overnight, and no one was spared." Chishui Fenglong told the news with a heavy heart.

The orders issued by Hao Lingxi, the young master of Hao Ling, in Hao Ling territory were more effective than those issued by King Hao Ling. At her command, all the shops of Tushan clan in Hao Ling territory were closed.

After hearing the news, Xuanxuan’s eyes went dark again.

Tushan clan was the source of all military supplies for their army, including food, fodder, and medicinal materials.

If Tushan's shop was closed, their military funds would be unsecured.

But Xuan didn't know that the most anxious people at this moment were not only them, but also the elders of Tushan clan.

When the elders of Tushan clan heard the news that Hao Ling's shop was closed, they were all panicked, as if the sky had fallen.

No matter how the situation in the Great Wilderness changes, these aristocratic families have their roots in the Great Wilderness, and they never interfere in wars between countries.

They didn't take sides in the war between Chen Rong and Xi Yan, and the same should be true between Xi Yan and Hao Ling now. But now Tu Shan Jing has violated the way of life of their Tu Shan clan and openly supported Xi Yan.

It would be fine if Xiyan could capture Haoling, but now it is obvious that they did not gain any advantage. The loss of their Tushan clan was seen here first.

Haoling is located in the southeast, with many water bodies, vast land and abundant resources. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the business is extremely developed. Tushan clan can definitely earn enough profits in Haoling.

But now that Hao Ling’s business has been uprooted, they don’t even have the status to question it, after all, it is obvious that Tu Shanjing supports Xi Yan.

This made several elders of the Tushan clan extremely dissatisfied, and they were particularly disgusted with the young master Tushan Jing and the young master's wife Xiaoyao, and their dissatisfaction was almost exposed.

Therefore, Tu Shanjing has not had a good time recently and has been busy all day long.

Xuanxuan's face was solemn, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I overlooked this point."

Feng Long asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the Tushan clan? Given the current situation of the Tushan clan, even if we do not withdraw our financial support, I am afraid they will not be able to hold out for too many years. After all, we have more than 200,000 soldiers."

Xuanxuan closed his eyes tightly, feeling extremely annoyed.

"I will ask the ministers in the court to find a solution for the military funds. This war may not last that long."

"Oh, right." Xuan hesitated for a moment before looking up at Fenglong and said, "Please take Xiaoyao over."

Chishui Fenglong was stunned. He took Xiaoyao over? Why?
Is it because Xiaoyao is Tu Shanjing's wife? Or is it because Xiaoyao is Hao Lingxi's sister?

No matter what the reason was, Chishui Fenglong was sure that it was not because Xuan missed Xiaoyao.

Thinking of this, Fenglong felt a chill in his heart.

It turns out that Xiaoyao is also someone that Xuan can use?

Taking advantage of Tushan Jing's love for Xiaoyao, Tushan clan continued to support Xiyan, and taking advantage of Hao Lingxi's sisterly love for Xiaoyao to restrain Hao Ling.

Ignoring Feng Long's gaze, Xuan smiled at Feng Long and said with concern: "Feng Long, you are injured, go and have a good rest."

Chishui Fenglong hesitated for a moment before retreating.

After Chishui Fenglong left, Xuan suddenly swept the things on the table down, and they fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Xuan clenched his hands tightly, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his deep eyes were terrifyingly dark.

He closed his eyes and tried hard to get rid of the bad emotions in his mind, but the effect was not significant.

Speaking of Xiaoyao, her life hasn't been easy lately.

When Xuan went to fight Hao Ling, Xuan and Tu Shan Jing kept it a secret from her and she knew nothing.

After she found out, she didn't know what to do.

Do you hate your brother Xuan? It seems not. But you also hate him.

Whether it was Hao Ling or Xi Yan, she didn't want them to get hurt.

She couldn't choose between the two.

Therefore, she subconsciously wanted to escape.

She didn't want to know how the war went, or who won or lost.

Afterwards, Tushan's shop was closed and Jing became busy.

And she, the young master's wife, was also criticized by the elders.

From that time on, she felt that Xi Yan might not be able to win this war.
