In the pavilion.

Shen Xiao invited Situ Zong to taste tea, but Situ Zong was more anxious than Shen Xiao and understood that there was a lot of hidden dangers ahead.

Situ Zong and Shen Xiao can now unite, but Shen Xiao suggested that Situ Zong find someone else to cooperate.

It's not that Shen Xiao is dissatisfied with Situ Zong, it's just that Shen Xiao understands that he can't provide much help to Situ Zong.

"Caobang, there is indeed some truth to it, it is very close to Yongzhou!"

Situ Zong wanted to say something to win over Shen Xiao, but after thinking about what Shen Xiao said, Situ Zong really couldn't refuse Shen Xiao's proposal.

After all, Situ Zong thought about it carefully and realized that what Shen Xiao said made sense. Although Shen Xiao did not say something directly, Situ Zong understood.

Shen Xiao hoped that Situ Zong would understand that he had always regarded the Ji family as his biggest supporter. To be honest, it was of little use. Shen Xiao did not say it clearly, but Situ Zong was not a fool.

If something happens to the Situ family, even if the Ji family is willing to help, the emperor is far away. If there is real trouble, they actually can't help.

"The Cao Gang and the Situ family are very close. Compared to the Ji family, the Cao Gang's role is indeed greater."

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao certainly knew the situation he was facing and the many threats at the moment.

Situ Zong and Shen Xiao both understand how to choose a partner to cooperate with, rather than saying that they must cooperate.

Shen Xiao made recommendations to Situ Zong and gave him a lot of help. As a result, the relationship between Shen Xiao and Situ Zong naturally became better and better.

Shen Xiao can not introduce the Cao Gang to Situ Zong, but Shen Xiao can acquiesce to Situ Zong and the Ji family's cooperation, and then Shen Xiao will have nothing to lose.

But Situ Zong cooperated with the Cao Gang and did not have any contact with the Ji family, which obviously made the Ji family lose weight.

"The most important thing is that you can gain benefits by joining forces with Shen Xiao!"

"Shen Xiao has a good relationship with the Caobang. When I come into contact with the Caobang, I must mention Shen Xiao."

Situ Zong, who was sipping tea, looked at Shen Xiao in front of him and knew what he should do.

What Situ Zong wants is of course the best cooperation for the Situ family, not that he has any other considerations.

Shen Xiao made this recommendation, and Situ Zong was very satisfied. Next, Shen Xiao and Situ Zong did not say that they could not cooperate.

It is not difficult for Situ Zong to thank Shen Xiao. When Shen Xiao and Situ Zong cooperate, Situ Zong will count Shen Xiao as his share.

"I will pay attention to what you said!"

"There are many plans coming from all parties, so be careful!"

Situ Zong and Shen Xiao had nothing else to say. Situ Zong had gained a lot at this moment, so there was no need to continue watching Shen Xiao here.

Situ Zong will not take away some of the guards given to Shen Xiao. Next, Shen Xiao himself is in Qingshui County, so he should not be too careless.

On the one hand, Situ Zong cannot protect Shen Xiao personally. On the other hand, Situ Zong now needs to talk to Caobang.

When Shen Xiao mentioned this, Situ Zong was of course more interested in this kind of cooperation. It would obviously be better to talk about it in person and it would show sincerity.

"If you decide to cooperate with the Cao Gang, you don't have to go too far. After all, there are people from the Cao Gang in Qingshui County!"

Shen Xiao thought for a while and told Situ Zong that there were naturally many people in Qingshui County who wanted to find the Caogang.

Moreover, those who are willing to offend Yongzhou's chief envoy are the ones Shen Xiao and Situ Zong should cooperate with.

People in Qingshui County are naturally targets now. Shen Xiao and Situ Zong don't have to worry.

Otherwise, Situ Zong went to Caobang to find someone who did not want to deal with the Yongzhou Chief Envoy, but would directly cause trouble.

“There are different factions within the Cao Gang, so we’d better be prepared in advance!”

Shen Xiao tapped the table lightly and gave Situ Zong such an answer. At this time, Shen Xiao and Situ Zong must be prepared before taking action.

If there is no threat at the moment, Shen Xiao naturally does not want to have hidden dangers. The attitude of the Caobang is subtle now. Some people are opposed to the Yongzhou Chief Envoy and want to attack the Qinggang, while others are simply waiting.

When Situ Zong is looking for him, he naturally has to succeed with one attack and not pose too many threats. Otherwise, recruiting others to cooperate would not be just asking for trouble.

"That makes sense!"

Shen Xiao's words dissuaded Situ Zong. Of course, Shen Xiao was not worried that he would be threatened if Situ Zong left. Shen Xiao was just discussing the matter.

Help people to the end and send Buddha to the west. This is Shen Xiao's plan. Situ Zong is prepared. There will be many variables in Yongzhou next.

It's not because of changes in Shen Xiao, but because the Qinglong Order and the competing forces from all sides will converge on Yongzhou.

Since Situ Zong is from Yongzhou and the Situ family is also in Yongzhou, then Shen Xiao will inform Situ Zong of the truth.

"It seems that the sky in Yongzhou has completely changed, but the root cause is still in Qingshui County!"

Looking at everything in the Shen family, Situ Zong couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The whole Yongzhou used to be very peaceful, but now it is in great turmoil.

To put it bluntly, it was the affairs of Shen Xiao and Chu Shengyun that caused these changes.

A huge crisis hangs over the two of them. If Situ Zong doesn't ask Shen Xiao to cooperate, there may not be any trouble, but Situ Zong is willing to take risks, and this is the price of taking risks.

Situ Zong is a merchant, and what he likes most is actually taking risks. Now Shen Xiao's words and what he has to do also give him the need to take risks!

"The root cause is not in Yongzhou, but in a higher place. The internal competition within the Qinglong Order and the plans of all parties are bottomless."

Shen Xiao didn't say much, but at this time, it wasn't just Shen Xiao's fault. Situ Zong didn't think about it. If he relied on Shen Xiao, he would be able to sit back and relax.

Within the Qinglong Order, various forces are intertwined, and there are many factions in the imperial court. Not to mention other places, there are already several families in power in Qingshui County alone.

When Shen Xiao and Situ Zong intervened in these matters, Shen Xiao did not dare to think about the so-called peace of mind, and Situ Zong also did not think that everything would be stable if he united with Shen Xiao.

Whether the cooperation between Situ Zong and Shen Xiao brought opportunities to the Situ family, or whether the alliance between Situ Zong was a mistake in itself and he should not have cooperated with Shen Xiao, Situ Zong could not say for sure and had no judgment.

"There is nothing without taking risks, and the Situ family is willing to take risks!"

Situ Zong looked at Shen Xiao and hoped that Shen Xiao would not worry too much. Since Situ Zong found Shen Xiao and brought all the elite members of the Situ family over, Situ Zong was not afraid of trouble!

If Shen Xiao can help, and both parties cooperate fully, Situ Zong will be willing to follow Shen Xiao.

For Situ Zong, he believed in Shen Xiao and felt that Shen Xiao's future, standing on the shoulders of the Ji family, could bring benefits to the Situ family.

Situ Zong was willing to take such a risk. Shen Xiao had nothing to say and could not directly block Situ Zong.

"good!"
