"Hmph, those short-sighted merchants did not have much foresight. I did not know that you, Alliance Master, would consider them well, and even thought of taking advantage of Baili Lan. They are indeed a group of pedantic people." Guan Shan could not help but sneer.
"A businessman is a businessman. He can never be a politician. Only the mind to do business, but not the best of the best. He could only make money from the profits of the commoners. It would be impossible for them to eat in the government for the rest of their lives. Especially since the emperor is actually Baili Lan. " Chu Yunge looked in the direction of the merchants, and ridiculed in her eyes, "When Baili Lan has collected enough tax and raised his army's salary, he will initiate the war, and at that time, the first war in the Bright Moon Kingdom of the three nations will come to an end, and they will not have the luck to continue doing business."
"Exactly. Alliance Master, you've worried so much that they actually don't know how to express their gratitude. Look at the thin blood relation between him and Baili Lan, wanting to take advantage of Baili Lan. " Guan Shan said in indignation. When Baili Lan was mentioned, Guan Shan did not have a good impression of him.
Back then, as a thousand-man commander, he was also in the army camp, a soldier who worked hard for the sake of the Bright Moon Kingdom and slaughtered his way to the death. However, because he lost to Chu Yan, he and an entire battalion of soldiers were to be charged with desertion and were forced into prison without explanation after returning to the bright moon.
Before they could cry out injustice, State Supervisor Temple's judgement had already come down, and was about to execute them after autumn.
If it weren't for the fact that they were powerful enough to escape from the prison of State Supervisor Temple, they would have long since become ghosts from who knows where.
So, since Baili Lan was such a deceitful monarch who didn't differentiate between right and wrong, why would he still wholeheartedly want to serve his home country?
Ever since he saw Chu Yunge's crafty actions and her meticulous benevolence, he finally understood the meaning of "a good bird chooses a tree to perch on".
As middle ranking generals, they had to choose the Brilliant Lord in order to accomplish a great feat.
"Alright." Chu Yunge put down the namelist in her hands and stuffed it into Guan Shan's arms. The mockery in his eyes had already completely disappeared, and his eyes were still as clear as a stream, clear as water. She said with a smile, "You also stayed in the hall for the whole night, but didn't eat anything. Go and eat. I have already ordered your favorite dishes and wine in a well-known restaurant in Dazhou City. "
The people in the hall had all dispersed, and the merchants had all left. The round table in the hall was filled with leftover food, and the maidservants began to clean up the mess.
Just when she had followed Feng Yi and sat down at the table to exchange toasts with the shopkeepers, Guan Shan had been sitting in the corner, in charge of the registration, and had not eaten anything at all.
Since he had finished his work, he might as well reward Guan Shan for his time.
"How can I accept this …" When Guan Shan heard that Chu Yunge had already ordered some dishes and wine for him in the restaurant, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is considered overtime. I'll give you your overtime later." Chu Yunge laughed as she patted Guan Shan's shoulder. Then, she walked to Feng Yi's side.
Feng Yi still had not taken off his Prefect's robe, and was still dressed in the light blue official robe with the prefectural immortal crane pattern. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on Chu Yunge's shoulder, and said softly, "Today, I played a good show with you. Xiao Ge, since you have already given Guan Shan a tip, why don't you give me a tip as well? I just don't know how you're going to thank me later. "
"Hey, you slut Feng, I, Guan Shan, have really spent an entire night in the corner of the hall. It is only right that I reward you with food and wine." You were sitting at the table just now, eating and drinking, and there was even a bunch of people fawning over you. You were living such a good life, and you didn't even have the slightest bit of trouble, so what do you need me to reward you for? " Chu Yunge raised her gaze and unrestrainedly rolled her eyes at him. Then, she waved her hand to knock his hand off her shoulder and softly added: "Pay attention to your influence. It's not even midnight yet."
"Then Xiao Ge's meaning is, after nightfall, will she …" Feng Yi immediately thought of another place, and her eyes that looked into Chu Yunge's eyes immediately lit up.
"Bitch Feng!" "I think you're still as good as dead!" Chu Yunge immediately raised her leg, and lightly kicked Feng Yi, "In front of Guan Shan, if you say such rogue words, I will beat you until all your teeth fall out!"
This Feng Yi really wasn't giving her any face at all.
In any case, she was now the dignified Martial Alliance Master. She had to have a dignified and dignified appearance!
Especially in front of Guan Shan, he must maintain his upright and smart image as a great leader. How could he say such disgusting and rogue words!
"My wife, you have wronged me …" "What I mean is, when night falls, can you prepare me some midnight snacks and wine?" After being kicked by Chu Yunge, Feng Yi felt pain in his legs, and subconsciously took a step back. His fair face also revealed an aggrieved expression, and he lightly bit his lips, looking at resentfully.
"I'm not going to talk to you about this anymore." Chu Yunge's ears immediately turned red, but because of Guan Shan's presence, it was too embarrassing to say anything else, so he changed the topic and did not talk to Feng Yi.
Guan Shan didn't interrupt and just watched the two bickering in front of him. There was a faint smile in his eyes.
In the past, he only knew that in order to survive, he had found a town in the desolate lands to rule over a region. He only wanted to live a peaceful life and no longer had the ambition or ambition of a great man.
However, after meeting Chu Yunge and Feng Yi, after they diligently guided him, the hope of establishing a great cause once again ignited in his heart!
He'd always thought that the so-called Sacred Master Mingjun in this world must be dignified, solemn, and extremely intelligent. Who would have thought that there would be another plant that was more approachable and gentle?
People like Chu Yunge, who were weird, but cute, intelligent, and extremely talented, and kind, were like a pair of living treasures. Watching the two of them bickering with each other, their daily life would be very happy.
If he were to follow such a lord into the world, he wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.
In the hall, other than the servants and maids who came and went to clean up the mess at the banquet, there were very few people who went in and out.
Just when Chu Yunge and Guan Shan had finished bickering with each other and was about to walk out of the hall together to go to the restaurant for dinner, a wisp of black shadow jumped down from the courtyard wall outside the hall. The black shadow quickly passed through the porch and arrived in front of everyone in a flash.
"Found what?" Chu Yunge retracted the smile on her face and asked seriously.
"I found out that you and His Highness had cheated us for a million silver taels while we were in the military camp. Although General Mu had sent us the silver taels, he had dispatched two spies from the military camp to head towards the direction of the Emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom, Bright Moon City. The tree estimated that if they travelled day and night, within three days, there would be news that would be sent back. "At that time, I'm afraid that you will be exposed when you go to the army camp to swindle the army's salary."
The man in black who was kneeling on the ground quickly finished his words. Then, he raised his head and said anxiously, "I hope that the Alliance Head and the Crown Prince have already made their plans. We hope that we can quickly leave the Great Liang City."
"Alliance Master, since the army camp has already sent out their spies, then, it is only a matter of time before they report it to the Ministry of Revenue and Baili Lan. "We should leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise if we're too late, I'm afraid …" When Guan Shan heard his subordinate's report, his expression also changed. He immediately raised his head to look at Chu Yunge, and his words paused for a moment.
When Feng Yi heard his subordinate's report, the gentleness on his face diminished somewhat, and the lines of his gentle face hardened as well. "Dazhou City is three thousand kilometers away from Brightmoon City. Even if we were to gallop at top speed, it would probably take us more than two days to reach Brightmoon City. Once Baili Lan finds out about this matter, he would need at least three days to send someone to capture us. These three days are not too long, nor too short, but it would at least be enough for us to properly leave the Great Liang City. "
"Leave?" Chu Yunge's expression did not change as she stood on top of the stairs. She glanced at his subordinate who was still kneeling on the ground, slightly raised his hand, and signaled his subordinate to get up. Then, she turned her head, looked at Guan Shan and Feng Yi, respectively, and said: "Why should I leave? I don't want to go. "
With Baili Lan's personality, if he knew about this, he would definitely investigate into the whole matter and find out the truth. Once he catches the main culprit, he would definitely lose his head. Guan Shan said rather impatiently, "I think we should pack up and quickly leave this place. A few days ago, the convoy responsible for escorting one million silver taels has already left the Great Liang City. If we leave now, we don't need to do anything about the aftermath. "
"But tonight, I just gathered all of the rich and powerful people from Dazang City and gathered them for a meeting. After chatting for a long time, I finally got them to think about leaving Dazhou City to do business with our Great Chu Kingdom. I saw that they had already registered their names on the list, so I didn't want to give up halfway. I'm not leaving, I want to stay for a few more days, and only after arranging for these wealthy merchants to leave the Great Liang City will I leave. " Chu Yunge's delicate and pretty face showed rare seriousness and she was extremely determined with her own thoughts. "Since I said that I would empty Great Liang City, then I must do as I say! What's a million silver pay? Only by swindling away those wealthy merchants who know how to do business will the economy of Daliangcheng completely collapse and never recover! "
Guan Shan and Feng Yi were both ancient people, all they knew was that during the great battle, they would fight face to face with each other with real spears and real blades.
However, he did not know that in modern times, there were tactics that were more powerful than weapons wars, called economic wars! Economic warfare can cause a country to lose both its strength and its financial resources in a matter of days. Without large quantities of goods and money, it would only cause the people to panic.
Before an official battle with Baili Lan, good economic battles were the most important techniques!
As long as these wealthy merchants in Dazhou City left, the qualifications of Dazhou City, as one of the three main cities of Bright Moon Kingdom, would be considered to be gone.
"But, according to your plan, if you leave after sending all those rich merchants away, I'm afraid Baili Lan's death warriors will all rush over to kill you." Feng Yi raised his head and stared at Chu Yunge, her phoenix eyes filled with anxiety.
