Chapter 431: Unfamiliar, yet Somewhat Familiar Hands

"General Xiang, have you arrested people from various schools?"

Hearing this, King Jiu of Chu was a little surprised.

Although the fame of various schools of thought is not as prominent as it was during the Warring States Period, their power should not be underestimated.

But Xiang Liang actually caught them?

Xiang Liang smiled at this time,

"Zhuang'er spoke too fast, maybe Wei Wang didn't hear clearly. This time we found someone from the merchant."

"Businessman?"

King Jiu of Wei immediately understood that merchants had already declined in Daqin,

"Why did General Xiang suddenly clash with the merchants?"

Xiang Liang thought for a while, and instead of directly returning to this question, he asked,

"King Wei has heard of Snow Salt these days?"

When mentioning snow salt, Wei Wangjiu immediately nodded and said,

"The people below have sent some to this king. This salt is as fine as sand and white as snow. It is really a strange thing!"

"It's just that the price is too high."

"My king can't eat it too often."

Xiang Liang smiled at this time,

"Since King Wei likes it, I'll ask someone to bring some over."

"But today, this king has found the source of snow salt in the south, and he is from this merchant."

"With this thing, in just a few months, nearly ten thousand taels of gold were taken away from us and other nobles!"

"I was waiting for the incident, when I needed money, so I invited them to Zhuangzi."

"After all, if you do business on the land we're waiting for, you have to pay some taxes."

Wei Wangjiu immediately understood.

The other party said yes, but in fact, they took a fancy to the merchant's money.

but,

He didn't mind too much, and now their wealth and lives are all on the line.

He can't care about the gains and losses of the businessman.

Soon a group of people walked towards the room.

At this time, on the roof outside Zhuangzi, several black shadows fell on it.

Looking at Zhuangzi's defense, Zhao Lang couldn't help frowning slightly.

The entire Zhuangzi was guarded extremely strictly, no wonder Xiao Liu and the others couldn't get in.

"Xiao Liu, you are waiting for me outside, I'll go inside and have a look."

After speaking, they didn't wait for Xiao Liu to refuse.

Zhao Lang twisted his body and disappeared into the night.

Xiao Liu and the others were stunned. When it comes to stealth, how can this young master of his family be more professional than these Black Ice Guards?

In the night, Zhao Lang recalled Zhuangzi's layout, and moved towards the place where he was most likely to be detained.

I met several patrols on the road.

He avoided them all.

He is still very proficient in the skills of special forces to cover up their whereabouts.

All the way to the place, I looked at the room that was still lit.

Zhao Lang gently touched the roof.

I heard a familiar voice,

"It turns out that General Xiang wanted to cooperate with the little girl, and this is the method he used?"

Shang Yaner looked at Xiang Liang and Wei Wangjiu in front of him.

Only now did she realize that it was him who made things difficult for her along the way.

It's ridiculous that when I was in Chudi before, I met the other party and even gave some money.

Facing Shang Yaner's cynicism, Xiang Liang didn't care at all, he was not the young and vigorous Xiang Yu.

He has already experienced the world, as long as he can make the Xiang family prominent, even if he dies, he will not have any complaints.

So calmly back,

"A businessman really knows how to use his tongue, but instead of thinking about how to escape, Miss Shang might as well think about how to cooperate with this old man."

"After all, here, you don't think there will be someone to save you, do you?"

In the face of absolute strength, eloquent arguments are actually extremely powerless.

A trace of despair flashed in Shang Yan'er's eyes, she knew that Xiang Liang was right.

This is the hometown of Wei State, and she did not rely on it.

It's just that she couldn't help thinking of Zhao Lang, but he was thousands of miles away in Liaodong.

It is impossible to save her.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Yan'er chose to compromise.

Anyway, this is what businessmen do most often.

"What does General Xiang want?"

Hearing this, Xiang Liang suddenly smiled and said,

"Business people really know the current affairs!"

"The general's request is also very simple, the benefit of snow salt, the general wants 70%!"

Hearing this, Shang Yaner almost laughed angrily,

"Seventy percent?! Snow salt is precious, and now only Xianyang and Liaodong produce it."

"The journey is far away, and the profit is not much. Once you open your mouth, you will charge 70%?"

King Wei on the side blushed a little, Xiang Liang's request was indeed too much.

Xiang Liang didn't even change his face, and said calmly,

"Seventy percent is already the general's favor to your business. Big changes are imminent, and your business is like a rootless duckweed."

"No matter how much money you have, whether it is in the eyes of Daqin or us, it is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

"If Miss Shang disagrees, I will let you and other merchants see what happens to merchants in troubled times."

Xiang Liang spoke unhurriedly, but Shang Yan'er fell silent for a moment.

Because the other party is actually right. In troubled times, there is no guarantee for businessmen.

Can only rely on the strong.

But Shang Yan'er didn't want to be attached to the other party.

Now stabilize the other party first, and then talk about it after I take it with me, the big deal is that I won't do the snow salt business for the time being!

Seeing Shang Yaner's changing expression, a trace of disdain appeared on Xiang Liang's face, and then continued,

"The general has heard that merchants are also good at falsehood (yi2), so this time Miss Shang will stay. It just so happens that this general has a nephew named Xiang Zhuang, who is also at the age of marriage."

"It's a perfect match for Miss Shang."

Hearing this, Shang Yan'er was shocked, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that the other party blocked all her escape routes!

Suddenly, she saw a familiar head growing on the roof behind Xiang Liang and the others.

If it was before, Shang Yan'er would have yelled a long time ago.

Fortunately, with his previous experience on the grassland, his expression only changed slightly.

But my heart was instantly at ease.

Although the speed just now was very fast, she already knew who the other party was.

With him here, she must be safe.

With confidence, Shang Yaner quickly said,

"At this moment, the matter is of great importance. I would like to ask General Xiang to give the little girl some time, and I will reply to you tomorrow morning."

Xiang Liang also knew that his request was extremely excessive, so he glanced at Shang Yan'er before saying,

"Forget it, this general will give you another night."

After speaking, he led the people out of the room, but there were two guards left outside the door.

After the people left, Shang Yan'er quickly turned off the lights.

The guards outside didn't care either, as long as the other party didn't leave the room, they didn't care.

Shang Yan'er stood in the dark room, slightly nervous.

With a slight noise.

Shang Yan'er knew that the other party should have entered the room from the roof.

Sure enough, not long after, a strange but familiar hand touched her back.

(Excuse me, it’s not about selling miserably. I’ve been in the hospital for the past two days, and I’ll make two more changes today. I’ll make up 8,000 words tomorrow, Ann.)
