Shang Yan’er looked at the strong man in front of her with a chill in her eyes and said,
“I have said many times that I am not going to cooperate with your master.”
She had originally been doing business between the borders of Liaodong, and with the Heavenly God Tribe as her backbone, her business was doing extremely well.
It was only later that snow salt began to be produced in the salt farms controlled by Zhao Lang.
Snow salt was very popular with the nobles and the price was extremely high, so naturally the profits were also large.
It was only then that she took her people south, because even if the snow salt was good, only these nobles could afford it in the whole world now.
Who knew that it would be targeted.
Originally, it was fine as long as they said that they had the backing of the Qin army general in Liaodong.
But now that the situation has changed so much and the various nobles in the south are almost blatant, the name of the Qin army is no longer good enough.
When the strong man heard this, he revealed a cold smile and said that
“Miss Shang, my master has invited you several times, but you have not seen you once.”
“You are just a merchant woman, you always need to find someone to rely on, it’s good for you too.”
“This time, you have to see it or not!”
With those words, the burly man waved his big hand, and someone surrounded him!
The men in the caravan tried to resist, but the men faintly revealed the weapons underneath them.
Everyone stopped moving at once.
To resist now would only add to the casualties.
Soon the whole caravan was under control, and the strong man snorted coldly and said that
“Don’t know any better, show you some colours and you will know the power.”
The strong man turned around and prepared to take his men away, looking at the surrounding crowd of onlookers, but without the slightest hint of defensiveness, he yelled.
“What are you looking at?”
“Get to the side, all of you!”
Looking at the strong man’s fierce and fierce appearance, the people around him all moved aside.
Only then did the strong man swaggered away with the men.
Only after the strong man had gone did the people around him say.
“What kind of people are these? How dare they be so rampant? Why have the officials in the city stopped doing anything lately? To do so in the street would be punishable by banishment in the Great Qin.”
“Keep your voice down! These people are from the land of Chu, I heard they are from that one!”
“How can the government be bothered with this now? I heard that the First Emperor claimed to be sick, but in fact he has already… Alas, now that the traitorous minister Zhao Gao is in power, the eunuch Hu Hai is also hiding in the deep palace.”
“Alas… This world is going to be a mess.”
At this moment, a slave in the crowd said to Zhao Lang.
“Master, that’s not Shang…”
“Go to the inn first . ”
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Zhao Lang raised his hand to stop the other party’s words, and then said to Xiao Liu, who was beside him.
“Follow.”
Xiao Liu nodded, and with that, he led a man and followed the group that had only left a short distance away.
Zhao Lang, on the other hand, led the men all the way to the inn.
When they reached their rooms, the minion continued, saying
“Master, the leader of that caravan just now, is the merchant girl.”
“How is she being watched by the Chu?”
Zhao Lang thought about it for a while, and then he probably understood what was going on, which was nothing more than, the truth that the wistful
“Never mind, when Xiao Liu returns, we will know who it is.”
The reason he hadn’t made a move just now was because they had only just entered the city.
There was no way to know what was going on here.
To make a rash move would only put themselves at a disadvantage.
That was why he had asked Little Six to go and feel out the situation first; it was already almost dark anyway, so they would just move on then.
Just as it was getting late, Xiao Liu knocked on the door of Zhao Lang’s room.
“Master, we’ve found out the other party’s location, it’s the Chu people.”
“But the inside of the manor is heavily guarded, we just looked outside and didn’t go in.”
Xiao Liu quickly explained the situation, and Zhao Lang frowned slightly after listening to it.
These people were extremely flamboyant, none of them had hidden their thoughts for a bit, and they were Chu people again.
They should be Xiang’s people.
Zhao Lang did not hesitate and quickly said that
“Change your clothes and let’s go.”
“Nu, you stay in the inn and keep an eye on the others.”
Nou’s force was still average, and for this kind of thing, it would be good to take Xiao Liu and the others.
Soon, there were a few more people on the roof of the room in the night.
At that moment, inside the meeting room of a fairly well guarded manor house.
Xiang Liang was talking to a stout man with an uncommon bearing.
“King of Wei, after this uprising, the land of Wei will be an important place for us to fight against the tyrant Qin.”
“And Xingyang (xing) City, the first to bear the brunt, we must be prepared.”
The strong man was naturally the king of Wei, Kou Kou.
The king of Wei, Kou, pondered slightly and said that
“General Xiang, there are still many Qin troops from the Tyrannical Qin stationed here from within Guan, and the flanking county of Sanchuan is guarded by Li Yu, the son of Prime Minister Li Si, so I am afraid that if we rashly start a war, we will be attacked at our backs.”
The Qin troops from Guan’in were old Qin men who would not follow them into battle.
Xiang Liang returned at this point with a smile, and
“The King of Wei need not worry, these Qin troops will be the first target of our attack after we rise up.”
“We will not let the King of Wei be caught in a two-sided attack.”
“Moreover, after the uprising, we will then follow the trend northwards and fight our way through Dingtao.”
While looking at Xiang Liang’s confident look, a haze flashed in the eyes of the King of Wei’s Gui.
I’m afraid that the road ahead is unpredictable, for Xiang Liang is so arrogant even before he has started.
But he could not say anything.
Although he was a descendant of the king of Wei, the Wei royal family was weakened and now had to rely on Xiang to make a comeback.
After he had gained a firm foothold, he would then develop his own power.
And so back to, the
“General Xiang’s words are excellent, and my king will certainly comply.”
Hearing these words, Xiang Liang instantly revealed a satisfied smile; he had come to the land of Wei this time to set up a barrier for the state of Chu.
In his hands now, he had gathered the monarchs of Chu, Qi, Han and Wei, all headed by the Xiang clan.
The Xiang clan was already a veritable ally of the six kingdoms.
Of course, there were still some minor obstacles in the way.
That was King Xiong Xin of Chu.
Now that the Chu people’s family is mostly rushing to the King of Chu, the practice of establishing each other as puppets themselves.
More or less, it had already caused the crowd to have some slight words.
Luckily, the King of Chu knew what he was doing and instead helped them to speak up, which calmed things down.
But this was always a hidden problem.
This time, the Xiang clan had spent so much effort on the uprising, how could they still be willing to be subordinated to others?
He could only wait for a time to push his nephew Xiang Yu out.
Since the older generation of Chu people cannot forget the King of Chu, let Yu, the son of Yu, lead the young man to make a great career.
From there, it would be logical to claim hegemony.
The last time he assassinated the Qin at Yunmengze, he almost shook the Qin army’s defences with his own strength.
He was already a god in the eyes of the children of Jiangdong.
Hmph, just ask who else in the younger generation can compare with Xiang Yu?
Thinking of this, however, the figure of Zhao Lang suddenly appeared in Xiang Liang’s mind, and he shook his head slightly to push the thought out.
Although Zhao Lang was strong, his foundation was not stable and the land of Zhao was watched over by 300,000 Qin troops.
It was impossible for him to do anything.
Just then, a strong man came in and said that
“Uncle, that merchant’s woman, she has been locked up for an hour, do you want to go and see?”
When Xiang Liang saw the strong man, he said with a smile that
“Zhuang’er is here, it is good, you lead the way in front.”
“King Chu, why don’t you come with me to meet the people of the hundred schools of thought?”
