The next morning, Su Xin had just woken up when he was pulled to the living room by the maid, Lu Li. She said that something had happened.
Su Xin walked into the living room and everyone was there. Yan Qingxue said softly, "Young Master Meng, Big Brother sent someone to inform us to rush to the Wind Cloud Arena at noon and prepare to fight for the trade route through the Wind Cloud Arena."
"Oh? What does that mean? "Su Xin raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yan Qingxue explained to Su Xin in detail. This was also a part of the test.
Yan Huangjiu gave each of his 13 children a token, representing 13 trade routes.
However, there were no rules on who would take the 13 trade routes. It was up to them to decide.
However, these 13 trade routes weren't exactly the same. Some led to Xiangnan, some to Xiangxi, some to the Central Plains, and the furthest to the Western Region.
Among these trade routes, the ones to the Central Plains were naturally the best. Not only did the Central Plains need some of Xiangnan's specialties, but Xiangnan also needed some of the resources produced by the Central Plains.
The trade route to the Western Region would be a great job during normal times. The 36 countries of the Western Region were rich in resources. Just bringing back something from the trip would be a huge profit.
However, at this time, the trade route to the 36 countries of the Western Region was the worst.
This was because the Western Region was too far from Xiangnan. In a year, they could barely make a round trip with a caravan.
The duration of this test just so happened to be one year. If there were any accidents along the way and they were delayed, this test would be considered a failure.
It turned out that Yan Zhongheng and the others had started to fight for tokens because they wanted to gather more tokens. If a few caravans set off together, they would be able to reap the rewards in the shortest time possible. If they managed to snatch a trade route like Xiangnan or Xiangxi, they could even make it twice.
However, Yan Qingxue already had the strength to contend against them, and the strength of the others was also on par with her. In this way, there was no point in delaying any longer. It was better to quickly decide on the trade route to choose and quickly set off.
Su Xin's lips curled into a smile. "I'm guessing that Yan Zhongheng and the others definitely don't know that I invited Master Tao and the others yesterday. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't dare to invite us to the Wind Cloud Arena to fight for the business route."
Yan Zhongheng and the others had already decided beforehand that the Wind Cloud Arena would win two out of three rounds. The one who won the most would have the right to choose the trade route first.
They thought that Su Xin would definitely lose with only one person and the old Uncle Liang. But now, with Tao Qian and the other two, not to mention two out of three, even if it was three out of five, he would still dare to play.
"Then which trade route should we choose?"
Yan Qingxue knitted her brows and asked, "Currently, there are thirteen trade routes, six of which lead to the Central Plains, four to Xiangxi, one to Xiangnan, and the last two to the thirty-six countries of the Western Region."
In terms of trade routes, Yan Qingxue's side was naturally at a disadvantage because she only had one trade route. Other than Yan Zhongheng, the others all had other brothers and sisters relying on them and had several trade routes on them.
Su Xin said in a low voice, "We are definitely at a disadvantage in terms of the number of trade routes. Even if we choose the best trade route, it will be extremely difficult for us to surpass the other party's profits by several times.
So now, not only do we have to choose trade routes, we also have to choose goods. The goods we bring back must be able to sell for the sum of their trade routes. "
Tao Qian and the others all looked at Su Xin with a puzzled expression. Although they didn't know how to do business, they knew that there didn't seem to be anything in this world that could be so profitable, right?
Uncle Liang was an old man in Merchant Mountain City. In his early years, he had followed the caravans of Merchant Mountain City to many places, but he couldn't think of anything that could be more profitable than the sum of several trade routes.
Su Xin said indifferently, "What is the most expensive thing in this world? The things that can't be bought are the most expensive. What kind of business is the most profitable? Monopolistic business is the most profitable! "
"Hoarding goods and raising prices?" Yan Qingxue instantly reacted.
Su Xin nodded. He didn't expect Yan Qingxue to be so sensitive about business.
"But what kind of business can we do to achieve a complete monopoly? Even if we want to monopolize, the local forces won't be willing. "Yan Qingxue frowned.
Su Xin said in a low voice, "Miss Yan, do you believe me?"
"Of course." Yan Qingxue answered without hesitation.
If it wasn't for Su Xin, she would have been forced by Yan Zhongheng and the others to hand over the token and completely lose her identity as the heir. If she didn't believe in Su Xin, who else could she believe?
"Since Miss Yan believes me, then choose the trade route that leads to Xiang Nan's Chang Ning Manor. I promise you won't regret it."
Yan Qingxue didn't ask why. Anyway, she believed in Meng Qingze. This man had never let her down.
At noon, Yan Zhongheng and the others had already gathered at the Wind Cloud Arena. Only Yan Qingxue didn't bring anyone.
Yan Jiheng snorted and said, "That woman is really arrogant. She actually made us wait for her here."
Yan Chengheng said indifferently, "Thirteenth Brother, Little Sister is your elder sister after all. Why do you call her that?"
Yan Jiheng sneered and said, "Ninth Brother, don't pretend to be merciful here. You were the one who spread the rumor that she wasn't Father's biological son, right?"
Yan Chengheng said coldly, "Thirteenth Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Yan Zhongheng looked at the quarrel coldly and looked like he was watching a good show.
Of these two people, one was a hypocrite who pretended to be forthright and loyal all day long. The other was a brat who didn't care about his elder brothers because he was young and doted on by his father. In any case, in Yan Zhongheng's opinion, they weren't good people.
"Shut up, Little Sister and the others are here." Yan Shuheng scolded and his expression changed.
Everyone looked towards the corner of the street and saw that on Yan Qingxue's side, other than Uncle Liang and Meng Qingze, there were actually three familiar faces.
Hong Lietao, who was ranked 13th on the Windcloud List, Nie Fang, who was ranked 16th on the Windcloud List, and Tao Qian, the owner of Dong Lin Dojo, who was ranked 21st!
How did these three people get together with Yan Qingxue? One had to know that they had tried to recruit these three people before, but they had spent a lot of effort to recruit them to no avail.
No matter how they looked at it, they were much stronger than Yan Qingxue. Were these three guys blind? They actually chose Yan Qingxue and not them.
Moreover, the four of them secretly regretted removing the people who were monitoring them yesterday. They actually didn't know such big news.
Ever since Su Xin showed off his prowess last time, Yan Zhongheng and the others were indeed a little afraid, so they called back the people who were monitoring Yan Qingxue.
However, they didn't expect Yan Qingxue to play such a trick on them the next day. If they knew that Yan Qingxue had recruited these three people, they would definitely delay the selection of the trade route and take out their trump cards.
But now, it was already too late.
Yan Zhongheng's expression was cold as he said, "Little sister, ah, little sister, this move of yours is really good. I'm really curious, how did you manage to recruit them?"
Hong Lietao said disdainfully at the side, "Just because of your eccentric look, I was right not to choose you. I will follow whoever I want to follow, what can you do about it?"
"How dare you!" A martial artist in red behind Yan Zhongheng shouted angrily. The aura on his body exploded. He was actually an early stage Xiantian martial artist.
Yan Zhongheng usually brought along Zhang Guang and another martial artist from his mother's sect, the Fire Sect. It was this person.
Hong Lietao smiled disdainfully, "Wang Tongren from the Fire Sect, you're just a loser. If you have the ability, fight again on the Windcloud Arena later. See how I teach you a lesson!"
Wang Tongren from the Fire Sect was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't say a word because he was indeed not Hong Lietao's opponent.
Even if they were disciples of large sects, there was also a difference in strength. Wang Tongren undoubtedly belonged to that category of weaker strength.
Even if the disciples with real strength came to help Yan Zhongheng, they would only take action when he needed them. Normally, everyone would be cultivating in the sect. Who would have the leisure time to follow Yan Zhongheng around all day?
Therefore, only the weaker fringe disciples like Wang Tongren were sent to follow Yan Zhongheng closely and pass on information at the same time.
The last time Yan Zhongheng wanted to recruit Hong Lietao, he was the first to make a move. In the end, he was ruthlessly taught a lesson and humiliated by Hong Lietao.
In the end, although Yan Zhongheng found a true core disciple from the Fire Sect and defeated Hong Lietao, he was still unconvinced. Helplessly, Yan Zhongheng could only give up on recruiting him.
"Good, very good! Yan Qingxue, I really underestimated you! "
Yan Zhongheng said coldly and pulled back Wang Tongren, who was fuming with anger.
Now, it was not just about them. The other brothers also felt a strong sense of threat.
Including Uncle Liang, Yan Qingxue had five Xiantian Stage martial artists under her. Moreover, there was also Meng Qingze, a Man Ranking List expert who could fight against ten.
It could be said that if they did not seek help from the sects behind them, the people they recruited in Merchant Mountain City would not be a match for her!
Nie Fang said lazily, "I say, are you guys still going to fight? I still have a weapon that I have yet to forge. I can't be bothered to waste time with you guys. Isn't it best of three? Let me fight the first battle. "
As Nie Fang spoke, he directly entered the Fengyun Ring, not even giving them time to react.
Yan Jiheng glared fiercely at Yan Qingxue and said coldly, "Old Gu, you go!"
"Yes, Young Master." A middle-aged martial artist holding a short knife walked into the Fengyun Ring with a bitter expression.
He was not recruited by Yan Jiheng but was sent to Yan Jiheng's side by Yan Huangjiu. It could be said that he was a retainer of the Yan Clan. Therefore, even if he wanted to reject, he could not find an excuse.
As for fighting with Nie Fang, he had no confidence at all.
He had also fought in the Fengyun Ring before. However, he stopped at the 28th place and took the money to withdraw. There was a huge gap between him and Nie Fang, who was in the top twenty of the Fengyun Ring.
