"Does Jhennam Of Gojoseon have the confidence to deal with Murong Xiong?" Xu Qingchen's words were understated, but in Jhennam Of Gojoseon's ears, it had a completely different meaning.
Jianghu's experts seemed unable to affect the overall situation, but experts at Murong Xiong's level couldn't help but make people wary. No matter how much he had the upper hand, if he were to fight to the death, even if he had to risk his life to take your life, there were not many people in this world who would be able to resist him. The higher one's position, the more they cherished their lives. Jhennam Of Gojoseon naturally didn't want to let go of such a huge threat to himself.
He wanted to unify the world and destroy Mo Liufang's descendants, but if he died at the hands of someone from Jianghu, then he would have nothing left.
"Young Master Qingchen persuaded Ling Tiehan to act … That's right, Ling Tiehan has a good relationship with Young Master Qingchen and Prince Ding." Jhennam Of Gojoseon said in a deep voice.
Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "Friendship is friendship, business is business. I won't hide it from Prince. This time, I only came on the way from Nanzhao. I didn't bring many people from the northwest. However, if I can persuade Pavilion Master Ling to act, then I can also persuade the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce to follow my orders. This time … I'm afraid that the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce will have to contribute the most. Prince Ding giving up ten percent of the profits isn't too much. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon had nothing to say. The ten percent profit that Xu Qingchen spoke of was a hundred thousand or even a million taels of silver for him. Looking at the smiling young master in white sitting in front of him, Jhennam Of Gojoseon once again felt something stuck in his chest. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
"I don't understand why Young Master Qingchen wants to act against the Murong family. Speaking of which … the existence of the Murong family isn't without benefits for the northwest, right? "Jhennam Of Gojoseon asked. As long as the Murong family existed, the northwest's economy would never catch up to the Da Chu State. Compared to the hundreds of families contending in the Da Chu State, the Murong family of West Hill had been the dominant family for too long.
Xu Qingchen took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "I did think of cooperating with the Murong family. Unfortunately … some people are too ignorant. Now that the Murong family is able to become a hidden danger in Xi Ling, it may not be impossible for them to become a hidden danger in Ding Wang Fu in the future. "Zhennan Wang was silent for a while before he respectfully said," I understand. I will do as Young Master Qingchen said. If there's anything you need me to do, Young Master Qing Chen can just send someone to inform Tengfeng. "
Lei Tengfeng understood that his father wanted him to take care of this matter. He nodded and cupped his hands towards Xu Qingchen, "I hope Young Master Qingchen can give me some pointers." Xu Qingchen smiled faintly, "Your Highness is too serious."
Not long after Jhennam Of Gojoseon and his son left, Ling Tiehan floated in through the half-open window. He looked at Xu Qingchen and smiled, "It's rare that Young Master Qingchen would think of me. I didn't waste my efforts to make friends with you. If I could have more friends like you, I wouldn't have to worry about the livelihood of those idiots at home."
Xu Qingchen looked up and smiled, "So Pavilion Master Ling agrees?" Ling Tiehan nodded, "Of course I agree. Why wouldn't I agree to such a good thing? With this deal, it won't be a problem to prevent the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce from opening for three to five years. But … you're a lot more generous this time. I thought that even if you didn't want to take the lead, you would at least split it with Lei Zhenting. "
Xu Qingchen said, "West-Hill is Jhennam Of Gojoseon's territory after all. If we push them too hard, we'll only lose the chicken and the eggs. It's already not bad to get thirty percent without risking anything. Any more and we'll be hated by others. "
Ling Tiehan frowned, "You've helped Lei Zhenting this time. He's been thinking about making a move on the Murong family for a long time. Aren't you afraid that he'll make things difficult for you after he calms down? West-Hill's national treasury isn't rich. Once he calms down, I'm afraid that even the million soldiers of the Prince Ding Mansion won't be able to withstand him. "
No matter how brave and skilled the Prince Ding Mansion was, it couldn't avoid the shortcomings of being too small and barren. It was sandwiched between three big countries. They couldn't attack the wealthiest Da Chu State, and they couldn't use the Northern Tribes in the north. Moreover, the valiant people beyond the Great Wall were not comparable to the scholars of Da Chu State. West-Hill was also eyeing them covetously. Although the northwest had been governed well in recent years, in the eyes of most people, the future was worrying.
Xu Qingchen gracefully used the cup lid to gently brush the tea leaves floating on the surface of the water. She laughed softly, "It's easy to destroy many things, but to rebuild … it's extremely difficult. If Lei Zhenting thinks that West-Hill's business can be revived as long as the Murong family falls, I'm afraid he'll be disappointed. Although he can get a large sum of military funds. But at least … in three to five years, West-Hill will only be poorer than before. "
Shaking the Murong family was equivalent to shaking the entire West-Hill's economy. Without three to five years, no matter how talented the masters were, they wouldn't be able to save it. Moreover, in this era, except when they were poor, the nobles generally didn't pay much attention to businessmen. Naturally, those who were proficient in finance were even rarer. If Jhennam Of Gojoseon thought that everything would go smoothly without the Murong family, and that the politics and people would be harmonious, it could only mean that he himself had never studied the economy.
It seemed that occasionally listening to Li 'er's chatter was quite beneficial. At least sometimes, she raised some points that even someone as intelligent and farsighted as Young Master Qingchen had never thought of. Thinking of the woman who once spoke with assurance in the study, her face full of confidence and joy, Xu Qingchen's face revealed a faint smile.
Ling Tiehan was silent for a long time before he sighed, "I thought you were scheming against the Murong family. Now it seems that you're scheming against Lei Zhenting." That's right, even though the Murong family was known as the richest family, but no one had ever clearly calculated how much wealth Ding Wang fu had. Even if it wasn't as good as the Murong family, it could still raise hundreds of thousands of Mohist army under the suppression of the Da Chu State's royal family for generations. With this kind of background, it was likely that they didn't really care about the Murong family's gold and silver. Encountering such an opponent, Lei Zhenting could only admit that he was unlucky.
"You people think too much in your brains. I'm too lazy to think about these things. When you're about to make a move, just send someone to inform me. "Ling Tiehan said in a low voice. All his life, he pursued the pinnacle of martial arts. He had no interest in Jianghu or the imperial court. Even if it was the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce, it was more of a responsibility. Therefore, he naturally didn't have much interest in Xu Qingchen's roundabout matters that made his head hurt just by listening to her. Xu Qingchen smiled and agreed. She watched Ling Tiehan leave through the window, and the room returned to silence.
Since that day when Xu Qingchen left the Murong family, she didn't reply to any news from the Murong family. The rankings for the new round of the Martial Arts Convention were also released. However, this time, it was clearly a bit awkward. There was no other reason. One of the Four Great Masters from the previous two tournaments was still alive. Although only two of them attended the Martial Arts Convention, they didn't fight. Therefore, this year's young masters couldn't directly occupy the title of Number One Great Master. In the end, the Martial Arts Convention, which was originally highly publicized, ended in a somewhat hasty manner.
A few days ago, the Murong family was still patiently waiting for Xu Qingchen's reply. Moreover, after the Martial Arts Convention, Xu Qingchen didn't leave An City. It was normal for Young Master Qingchen to take some time to consider something as important as marrying into the family. However, the Murong family gradually realized that something was wrong.
