Chapter 1391

"Report!"

"Latest news: the Empress of Da Qian denounced the quality of Shu silk and sent envoys wanting to buy another hundred bolts of Zhao Gao!"

"Minister Chen Qiong of the Court of Diplomatic Reception submitted a proposal to push the tribute silk system, and the Empress of Da Qian agreed!"

"Merchants from all over Da Qian are sending caravans one after another to head to our Zhao Kingdom, wanting to buy Zhao Gao and sign contracts!"

In the Imperial Garden.

Flowers were competing for beauty, and the air was permeated with a fresh breath.

Along with this sound from the black-armored guard, the Zhao Huang stood up abruptly.

He was full of joy and laughed loudly.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"This Living Yama of Da Qian really has some ability; the tribute silk news actually came so quickly!"

"Pass the order down: order the Imperial Kitchen to set up a grand banquet; today I want to feast the officials, and we will not return until we are drunk."

The Zhao Huang waved his large hand, his dragon robe sleeves rustling, his face full of strong smiles.

Beside him.

Zhao Kingdom's Censor-in-Chief Lin Yunfei was also stroking his gray beard, his eyes full of smiles.

He was equally happy in his heart.

A few days ago, when many merchants and court officials were all waiting for confirmed news to arrive, he made a direct decision and ordered his subordinates to purchase Zhao Gao on a large scale.

Now it seems he bet right.

How much huge profit would this earn?

Thinking of this, his heart felt a burst of heat instantly.

Soon.

The Imperial Kitchen began to slaughter pigs and sheep to cook delicious food, and the Zhao Kingdom's dancing girls, all wearing thin gauze dresses, began to dance gracefully.

The Zhao Huang sat in the seat of honor, looking at the dancing girls, feeling leisurely and contented.

Zhao Yuheng sat in the lower seat, holding a cup of crystal-clear fine wine, also full of intoxication.

"Living Yama, you are truly effective!"

"Now, who can stop my Zhao Yuheng's rise?"

Not long after, the civil and military officials of the Zhao Kingdom entered the venue one after another; along with the seductive dance of the dancing girls and the tempting fragrance of the dishes on the table, everyone was shaking their heads, having a great time.

At the same time, the tribute silk news also spread throughout Handancheng and was spreading throughout the entire Zhao Kingdom at a terrifying speed.

At the same time.

Inside Handancheng.

In a remote house.

This place was extremely hidden, but the area was large, and there was more to it inside, with a secret hall—it was the base camp of the Wuqing Sect in the Zhao Kingdom.

Bai Xin-xin was dressed in white, which made her face look even more cold and her body slender.

Below her.

The core members of the Wuqing Sect were all lined up on both sides; the Silver Dragon Envoy Guo Wuji, the Red Dragon Envoy Lei Bao, and the first fast-blade Wang Lao were all among them.

As everyone was silent, Lei Bao took the lead and said, "Sect Master, how long have we been in the Zhao Kingdom? Although this Zhao Kingdom is corrupt, where is the chaos? Where is the soil for our sect to flourish?"

"Could this Living Yama be deliberately tricking us to save his own life?"

Lei Bao said this with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Hearing this, Bai Xin-xin shook her head and said, "This shouldn't be; perhaps the timing is not yet right."

"The timing is not right? Sect Master, you trust that Living Yama too much; this person is extremely cunning and cannot be trusted lightly!"

Lei Bao continued to speak.

Beside him, Guo Wuji pinched his orchid fingers and said coldly, "Red Dragon Envoy, shut up! Speaking ill of Prime Minister Gao in front of me, Guo Wuji, do you not put me, Guo Wuji, in your eyes?"

Lei Bao stared at Guo Wuji, who was full of anger, flicked his sleeves fiercely, and said, "This old man doesn't lower himself to the level of a woman!"

Hearing this, Guo Wuji was instantly furious, his orchid fingers raised even higher, and his voice became even shriller: "What?"

"Do you dare to say that again? Do you believe I will use the 'exposed swift foot' from the secret manual to finish you off?"

Bai Xin-xin said with displeasure, "Red Dragon Envoy, that's enough!"

"The White Dragon Envoy made sacrifices for our sect; he has a close relationship with the Living Yama, so it is not unreasonable for him to say this!"

Seeing this, Lei Bao lowered his head slightly.

"Sect Master, I spoke out of turn."

At this time, Wang Lao said, "Sect Master, during this period, the price of Zhao Gao has skyrocketed. I heard that the Empress of Da Qian is doing this to resist the Xiongnu and wants to be on good terms with the Zhao Kingdom, which pushed up the price of Zhao Gao. Now she is going to create some tribute silk system, making the price of Zhao Gao even more terrifying."

"If this is the case, it is very unfavorable for our sect!"

Bai Xin-xin sat on the Sect Master's seat, her long jade hands gently stroking the cold silver spear, falling into thought.

Originally, she trusted Gao Yang extremely, so she came directly to the Zhao Kingdom to attract followers.

Compared to Da Qian, the soil of the Zhao Kingdom was indeed more suitable for the development of the Wuqing Sect; there were many powerful families in the Zhao Kingdom, and the lives of the common people were not good.

But now, she was also somewhat uncertain.

Because Gao Yang's reputation was truly too foul.

Bai Xin-xin took a deep breath and said, "Wait quietly for the changes in the world, let's wait a bit longer."

"This Sect Master... believes in the Living Yama!"

Once Bai Xin-xin said this, it was like a final decision, making everyone stop speaking.

But just at this moment.

A member of the Wuqing Sect holding an envelope walked over quickly.

"Sect Master!"

"News from Changancheng of Da Qian; the contact code is the highest-level contact code of our Wuqing Sect—'You stay here and don't move; I'll go buy you some oranges!'"
