Chu Huan was silent for a moment and finally asked, "Speak straight, what do you want to do?"

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "I have not congratulated the prince consort for being promoted to the governor. Before coming, the regent asked me to congratulate him on his behalf."

"I have been serving as the governor of Xiguan Road for less than half a year." Chu Huan stared at Gusa Heiyun's eyes. "It will take more than a month to get from Shuoquan to Qingluo City. It will take nearly three months to go back and forth. The Grand Respector got the news that I took office, at least three months ago... It seems that your news is really well-versed. As soon as I took office, someone sent the news to Xiliang. Grand Respector, how many spies did you Xiliang install in the northwest?"

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "The prince consort misunderstood. However, some wounded soldiers were unable to retreat for a while, so they were inevitably stayed. When they returned, they brought back the great news."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and said, "Great news? Could it be that my governor took office in Xiguan, which is good news for you?"

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "The prince consort is both civil and military, and he is in charge of Xiguan. Of course, it is good news."

"For Xiliang, it may not be good news." Chu Huan smiled, "Grand Official, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about your purpose of coming here from thousands of miles away."

Gusa Heiyun then smiled and said, "Mr. Concubine, as far as I know, new salt has appeared in Xiguan..."

Chu Huan's eyebrows tightened, but he didn't speak.

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Regent knew that the son-in-law was in charge of Xiguan, and he had always wanted to help the son-in-law do something. Xiguan was ready for everything. After all, it was still necessary to use money."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Can the great gift officer come to give me money?"

"I am willing to give money, but I am afraid that the prince consort will not accept it." Gusa Heiyun sighed lightly: "The Regent knows the prince consort's character, so he came up with a solution."

"A method?"

"The Regent is ready to spend the silver to buy some new salt from the prince-consort." Gusa Heiyun whispered: "We can pay twice the price. In this way, the prince-consort will not feel that we gave it for free if we have the silver."

Chu Huan stared at Gusa Heiyun's eyes and did not speak for a long time. Gusa Heiyun was a little furious when Chu Huan looked at him, and said dryly: "Mr. Concubine, you... I don't know what you mean?"

Chu Huan slowly got up and walked to Gusa Heiyun. Suddenly, a knife light flashed, and the blood-drinking knife was unsheathed and placed on Gusa Heiyun's neck.

Gusa Heiyun's face changed drastically and she said in a lost voice: "Mr. Concubine, you...!"

Chu Huan sneered: "Master, you didn't tell the truth."

"Tell the truth?" Gusa Heiyun was a little panicked, "The prince consort... what does the prince consort mean?"

"I'll ask you another question, how are the Regent now?" Chu Huan looked at Gusa Heiyun's eyes coldly.

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Gusa Heiyun's forehead, and he forced a smile: "The Regent is very good..." He felt the blade on his neck was cold, and it seemed to slide gently. Gusa Heiyun's whole body trembled, and was stared at Chu Huan's cold eyes, and finally smiled bitterly: "Mr. Concubine, I... I'll tell the truth, Regent... He is not good now."

Chu Huan took back the knife and sneered: "What happened to Xiliang?"

Gusa Heiyun raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, sighing: "There is a strong military battle in Xiliang. The rebel Mahara colluded with Gusa's concubine, and the nine golden tribes of Xiliang were all involved...!"

Chu Huan was stunned and slowly sat down on the chair beside Gusa Heiyun.

"Mahara defeated Heishan, fled to Heishui Zhula tribe, and colluded with Yingshan Zangtula tribe." Gusa Heiyun looked solemn: "The Regent personally led a large army to quell the rebellion, but Gusa Concubine escaped back to the Gusa tribe in Tianlang Mountain, cleared away dissidents, persuaded Hanhai Chiyan tribe, and marched into the Qingluo Prairie from the north...!"

Chu Huan was surprised and happy in her heart.

When he was in the Western Liang Dynasty, he could have killed Mahara, but he let the little prince go. His original intention was to hope that the little prince Mahara will raise a group of troops and confront Mahazang in a tit-for-tat way.

After that, I will help Gusa Concubine, and my intention is here.

He knew very well that Mahazang was a very talented person and an ambitious person. If he was completely controlled by the Nine Tribes of the Western Liang Dynasty, then this person would definitely plot against the Central Plains and the Western Liang army would definitely make a comeback.

For the Central Plains, the more intense the struggle within the Western Liang Dynasty, the more powerful it will be for the Central Plains.

Chu Huan just thought so at the beginning, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the development of the situation would go as he thought. But now it seems that his original idea has become a reality.

Whether it was Mahara or Gusa Concubine, they all escaped from their own hands, and now it was these two forces that became Mahazang's strong enemies.

Although he was quite happy, he frowned and asked, "Concubine Gusa? Have you never caught her?"

Gusa Heiyun glanced at Chu Huan with a little meaning and sighed: "That woman is cunning and still doesn't know how she escaped from Qingluo City, which is closely guarded."

Chu Huan smiled faintly and asked, "As you say that, Mahara united the Jura tribe and the Zangtula tribe, Gusa Grand Concubine united the Gusa tribe and the Chiyan tribe, the Golden Nine tribes, and four tribes were in chaos, and the Regent still had the upper hand."

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment before whispering: "The Rakshasa tribe on the other side of the Rakshasa Sea still remains unmoved. He has neither sent troops to quell the rebellion as ordered by the Regent, nor has he turned to Mahara... The army that has now quelled the rebellion is composed of the Shi tribe of the Gulaqin prairie, the Qingtan tribe of the Mangha prairie, the Liuli tribe of the Daxue Mountains and the Maha tribe." After a pause, he sat upright and said: "We have the Regent and the King of the South Court. The war is very beneficial to us. It will not take long for the rebels to be pacified."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, but sneered in his heart. If the facts were really as relaxed as Gusa Black Cloud, he wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to the northwest.

At least in Chu Huan's opinion, although Mahazang was a powerful figure and was surrounded by the help of the King of the South Court, Xiao Tianwen, there was also a concubine of Gusa among the rebels.

The Concubine Gusa has never been an ordinary character. When she returned to Tianlang Mountain, she was able to quickly control the Gusa tribe, and convinced Chiyan tribe and even formed an alliance with Mahara, which proved that this woman's skills were quite powerful.

"Your war is fierce now, and the Regent must have a large amount of military expenditure." Chu Huan looked at Gusa Heiyun with a smile, "Grand Official, at this time, the Regent does not consider whether his military expenditure is sufficient, but also wants to help me revitalize Xiguan. Do you think this principle can make sense?" His face darkened and he said, "Grand Official, since you want to come to discuss matters with this governor, you don't even have the most sincere attitude. I don't think we have to continue talking."

Gusa Heiyun hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, actually...oh, my son-in-law, I'm going to tell you, although the Regent has sufficient troops and a rainbow of morale, we're short of salt!"

"Salt short?" Chu Huanqi said: "Where do you start with this?"

"The prince-in-law doesn't know that the salt in Xiliang has always come from Hanhai, and another part comes from the west." Gusa Heiyun frowned and said, "The Gusa tribe attacked the Liuli tribe, and the war was fierce. The merchants in the west dared not come here, and they couldn't get through here... Hanhai Chiyan tribe betrayed the Regent and cut off the salt road. Moreover, the heavy guards on Hanhai were also attacking the Chiyan tribe, but we failed both times...!"

Chu Huan already understood, "Hanhai is in the hands of the rebels, the road to the west is blocked, and both salt roads have problems... So you have no salt to eat now?"

Gusa Heiyun sighed: "Mr.com, I have told you all these. I sincerely come to buy salt from the Monk Consort, and I hope the Monk Consort can sell salt."

Chu Huan sighed: "How long have you been here?"

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I arrived at Shuoquan ten days ago, but I haven't come to visit me."

"The new salt has not been on the market for a long time." Chu Huan frowned and said, "How do you know that I produce salt here?"

"To be honest, when I set off, I didn't know that salt was produced here." Gusa Heiyun said sincerely: "But both salt roads have been cut off, so we can only come south. When we arrived at Shuoquan, we realized that the prince consort had come up with a way to make new salt, which really made me admire him." At this point, my eyes were already shining with light.

Chu Huan stared at Gusa Heiyun, "The Regent can send a ritual officer to the Central Plains to take the risk, which shows that your salt desolation is already very serious... The ritual officer, let's be honest, how much salt do you have in stock now?"

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment, and saw Chu Huan staring at him with a bright look, and finally said, "I dare not hide the prince-consort. I have reached a very dangerous situation. The salt path has been blocked for a year, and millions of people have no salt available. Now... even the Regent's food has been controlled by salt..." He said, "The Prince-consort and the Regent are friends. When they are about to come, the Regent said, there is no need to explain more to the Prince-consort. If the Prince-consort agrees, it is full of affection. If the Prince-consort does not agree, the Regent also told me not to beg the Prince-consort."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "The Regent is an iron-clad man, and he has the strength."

Gusa Heiyun sighed, "Although I said this, I still put down my old face and beg my son-in-law to give us a high hand to help us survive this disaster." As if thinking of something, he hurriedly said, "By the way, Talanger, the historical department of Qiluotalanger is also lacking in salt. Now even Qiluotalanger is not salty to eat..."

Chu Huan knew very well that before the salt wasteland occurred, no one would think that salt was important, but once the salt wasteland broke out, everyone would realize the importance of salt.

There had been a salt desert before Xiguan. Fortunately, the salt desert has not expanded. I used cold stones to make salt myself to solve this major problem.

Once a person lacks salt for a long time, his body will be swollen and his strength will disappear. If Mahazang wants to quell the rebellion, even if the troops and weapons are abundant, but if they lack salt, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will definitely decline seriously and even develop to a certain extent. Mutiny is inevitable. Now those soldiers are still loyal to Mahazang, but once they lack salt for a long time, they will naturally not be able to follow Mahazang to destroy them. With the cunning of Gusa Concubine, they will inevitably take the opportunity to instigate Mahazang's subordinates. Once a mutiny occurs, it will spread.

Gusa Black Cloud moved out of Qiluo, Chu Huan of course knew what he was thinking, smiled faintly and asked, "The Regent asked you to buy salt from me at twice the price?"

When Gusa Heiyun heard Chu Huan's tone, she seemed to have hope and hurriedly said: "It's... even if it's three times the price, we can accept it."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Have the Regent ever told you, will I sell you salt?"

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Although you and me have had hatred, we have made peace now, and the son-in-law and the regent have lived and died together. In the words of you Central Plains, we have a smile to eliminate grudges... Moreover, once the son-in-law opens the trade with me in Xiliang, it will be beneficial to both of you and me. For both public and private, the regent thinks that the son-in-law is likely to sell salt to us!"

Chu Huan laughed and said softly: "The Regent is so confident. Then I will tell you now. Not to mention the price of three times, even if it is ten times a hundred times, I will not sell you a pound of salt!"
