Chapter 1415

"It's over!"

"The Zhao Kingdom... is finished!"

Mu Mu Xue Yao was not stupid. After Chen Sheng's words, she understood everything.

Gao Yang's goal was never Zhao Gao, nor was it so-called beauty and silver; his true target was the grain of the Zhao Kingdom!

He wanted to throw the Zhao Kingdom into chaos, so that for decades to come, it would be unable to pose a threat to Da Qian!

Zhao Yuheng had been deceived, and she had also been deceived by Gao Yang. They had thought they were playing Gao Yang for a fool, but in the end, they were the biggest fools of all!

"Zhao Gao is fake, and that so-called luck game must also hide a huge trap..."

That day, Gao Yang found her and told her about the luck game, only asking for thirty thousand taels of silver from Zhao Yuheng.

This guy even claimed it was for her sake, and precisely because of that, she had been extra hardworking that night.

Thinking of this, Mu Mu Xue Yao clenched her fists, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"Fake, it's all fake!"

"He takes the money, he tricks the people, and he pits the Zhao Kingdom against itself. How can such a person exist in this world?"

Although Mu Mu Xue Yao was in Da Qian, before her eyes, it was as if she saw a scene of the Zhao Kingdom filled with wailing and corpses strewn across the fields!

That was... a true living hell.

But what could she do?

She could do nothing; she couldn't even protect herself.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Mu Mu Xue Yao's lips, her face filled with desolation.

"..."

Meanwhile.

The Huai River.

The river water surged, waves roaring like anger, the rushing water surging like thousands of horses and soldiers, the water vapor carrying a shocking chill that hit one's face.

On the river, hundreds of grain ships were like dense ants, rising and falling in the waves. The boatmen wore coarse hemp clothes, their faces flushed red by the cold wind.

Not far away.

On the shore.

The major grain merchants of the Zhao Kingdom, all dressed in brocade and finery, had long been waiting expectantly.

When they saw the grain ships approaching, they were all overjoyed.

"They're here!"

"The Da Qian grain ships are here!"

"I brought ten thousand taels of silver this time; I'm going to make a huge purchase!"

"Me too. Although I made a fortune from Zhao Gao, the grain in my granary is running low. I have to get at least a thousand shi today!"

In the biting cold wind, the major grain merchants spoke one after another, smiles flashing in their eyes.

But just then.

On the river, a large ship accelerated from behind, and a Da Qian command flag fluttered in the wind, blocking the very front.

Cao De, the Governor of the Da Qian Huai River Canal Transport, wore cold armor, looking at the Zhao Kingdom port with a cold sneer.

He rubbed his walnuts, making a clattering sound, and suddenly ordered, "His Majesty has a decree—this year, grain ships north of the Huai River are forbidden from flying the Da Qian flag!"

"All grain ships, divert immediately!"

Following Cao De's order, the people in charge of the major grain ships didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly spoke up.

"Divert!"

"Divert!"

Soon, hundreds of Da Qian grain ships lowered their flags in unison and began to divert, returning the way they came.

Cao De played with his walnuts with one hand while looking coldly at the group of Zhao Kingdom grain merchants waiting on the shore.
