After hearing Shang Jie's words, Wu Qiong blinked.
He did report to Mr. Dark Cloud in Chang 'an that he was trying to contact and negotiate with the Miao Family in Hedong County.
Looking for the Miao Family was not only because they were a suitable target, but also because he hoped to get in touch with the Dahe Longmen.
But at that time, he hadn't reached an agreement with the Miao Family. Everything was not set in stone yet.
Everything was just in the beginning stage.
Today, when Elder Shang Jie of the Dahe Longmen showed up, Wu Qiong thought it was the Miao Family who secretly asked for his help.
But now, it seemed that Chang 'an City had already communicated with the other party.
At first, Wu Qiong thought that he could make a great contribution this time.
But now it seemed that everything was going according to Chang 'an's plan.
In the plan of that person in the Daming Palace …
If it was Mr. Dark Cloud's plan, he would have told me … Wu Qiong felt cold sweat on his back.
He was glad that he was loyal and did his best for the task Chang 'an gave him.
If Meng Qi had any disloyalty or tried to play tricks, he would not be able to hide it from Chang 'an City.
Fortunately, fortunately … Wu Qiong breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Facing Shang Jie, he answered cautiously and respectfully, "His Majesty and Mr. Dark Cloud have a far-reaching plan. I was just following orders. If there are any mistakes, please take care of them, Elder Shang."
Shang Jie took a deep look at Wu Qiong in front of him.
Sure enough, everything was within Chang 'an's expectation.
But in that case, why didn't Mr. Dark Cloud say a word when he saw her before?
Did he not trust her, or … did he deliberately use this to test her and the Dahe Longmen?
Shang Jie looked at the group of people she had knocked over in the yard.
These people were all from the Secret Pavilion of the Eastern Tang.
Could it be that the arrival of these people was also under the control of Chang 'an?
They wanted to see how the Dahe Longmen would handle the matter.
Shang Jie glanced around again, but he didn't find anyone from Chang 'an City watching them.
But she couldn't be sure.
"Let's leave this place first," Shang Jie said to Wu Qiong and the old man surnamed Miao without batting an eyelid.
The three of them then left.
Shang Jie was full of doubts.
Chang 'an City's skeptical attitude did not irritate her.
On the contrary, it made her feel more at ease.
The other party's cautiousness and probing proved that they were careful in choosing who to trade with.
Before that, Chang 'an was too mysterious.
They inexplicably appeared in the depths of the Longling Mountains, inexplicably took in refugees, and became enemies with the Eastern Tang.
Now, a corner of their mysterious veil had been lifted.
However, Shang Jie was also shocked by the other party's remarkable abilities.
"The people just now are from the Eastern Tang Secret Pavilion."
She looked at Wu Qiong and said, "The news of the trade may have been leaked."
The old man surnamed Miao's expression changed slightly, and he was worried.
Wu Qiong remained calm. "Elder Shang, please instruct us."
"I've already informed the Sect Leader and asked him to make the decision."
Shang Jie said, "Sect Leader Wu and the Perak Dynasty need to be careful these days. If you can't do it, go back to Chang 'an."
Wu Qiong took a deep breath. "Thank you for your advice, Elder Shang. I'll make the decision as appropriate."
Soon, Zhang Dongyun in Chang 'an City received Wu Qiong's report.
After understanding the details of the matter, he pondered for a moment.
The Eastern Tang Secret Pavilion's spies were quite sensitive.
However, with Dahe Longmen's influence on both sides of the Dragon River, this business could continue as long as they wanted to.
There was no need to confront Eastern Tang head-on. Dahe Longmen could still hide it if they wanted to.
However, the Perak Dynasty might have to retreat and could not continue to build bridges in the middle.
However, since they had established a relationship with Dahe Longmen, the Perak Dynasty could be considered to have successfully completed its mission.
As for whether Dahe Longmen would accept this business, in Shang Jie's words, "Strangers the first time, but friends the second time …"
Zhang Dongyun patiently waited for news from the buyer.
Chang 'an City continued to develop in an orderly manner.
As more and more miners appeared in the mines outside the city, the production of turquoise crystals also increased.
Zhang Dongyun transformed into Mr. Dark Cloud and began to guide Hui Tianyu and the others to solve the transportation problem.
Dahe Longmen could handle the water transportation there, and Chang 'an City also needed to transport the ore from the mountain.
As Fuzhen Guan repeatedly hit a wall in Chang 'an City, its prestige in many people's hearts plummeted.
The Hanshan school students had returned to Qinzhou City to establish themselves.
The Dragon River flowed through Qinzhou City, and everyone began to expand and renovate the ferry.
Eastern Tang's original official power in Qinzhou City had been mostly eliminated.
Eastern Tang Dynasty was currently at war with other countries at the border.
After the main force of Du Kun's army in Longbei was lost, Eastern Tang could not deploy more troops to Longbei.
Perhaps because they had discovered the conflict between Chang 'an City and Fuzhen Guan, Eastern Tang temporarily sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.
The few remaining Tang Dynasty Army in Longbei retreated and guarded other key areas.
Qinzhou City was temporarily left empty.
This gave Zhang Dongyun and Chang 'an City convenience. Slowly developing.
As the days passed, good and bad news came back.
As expected, Eastern Tang targeted the Perak Dynasty. On the surface, the government was targeting them, but in the dark, the Mingguang Pavilion was targeting them.
Wu Qiong had to lead his disciples to hide in the mountains and send some relatives to Chang 'an.
This made him, the new acting leader of the Perak Dynasty, feel some pressure.
He could only withdraw from the turquoise crystal deal for the time being.
However, Mr. Dark Cloud eventually credited the Perak Dynasty for his connection with Dahe Longmen. This made Wu Qiong feel that everything was worth it.
On the other side, the Miao Family also withdrew and distanced themselves from the deal.
The good news for Zhang Dongyun was that Dahe Longmen finally took over the turquoise crystal deal.
They were more reliable than the Miao Family to take over.
Everything went smoothly from light to dark.
After the arrangements were made, Master Zhang watched the first batch of ores being transported down the mountain.
After boarding the boat at the Dragon River crossing in Qinzhou City, the turquoise crystal flowed down the river.
Soon, the first batch of ores was in Zhang Dongyun's hands.
Then, the second batch, the third batch …
When everything was stable, the System's voice sounded in Master Zhang's mind again.
[The City Lord has opened up a stable source of income for the city. The people have to support the City Lord and maintain stability. The City Lord has completed Construction Task 2.3 and received 1,000 upgrade experience points.]
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun clenched his fists.
Although this task was ridiculous, the upgrade experience points were indeed 1,000 upgrade experience points.
With this, he would have 2,100 upgrade experience points, which was enough for the second expansion of the city.
Now, he just had to wait for the guardian task to reach 2,000 experience points.
This would depend on what kind of people Blood Shadow and the others could attract when they came back from Fuzhen Guan … Zhang Dongyun was looking forward to it.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Dongyun finally got the news he wanted.
However, the moment he heard the news, he almost cursed out loud.
"Sir, a disciple of our sect at the foot of the mountain sent an urgent report."
Hui Tianyu reported to Zhang Dongyun, who looked like Mr. Dark Cloud.
"There are Taoist masters surrounding Senior Blood Shadow and Senior Chen at the foot of the mountain. The situation is critical!"
