Chapter 446: A gentleman

The three looked at each other, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Three great noble clans, but only two 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' signs.

How to divide this?

In other words, one family must be eliminated.

But the problem is, which family will be eliminated?

No matter which family it is, they will not be reconciled.

No one is a fool regarding the potential of Bai Yu Sugar; it has a huge market not only in Da Qian but also in all seven kingdoms!

With their ability, this is a business destined to make a fortune.

Not to mention that behind this, they can also build a relationship with Wu Zhao.

These two conditions are an irresistible temptation for them.

Xie Anran's expression was complex, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

Originally an alliance of three families, it was instantly disintegrated by two 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' signs.

After all, who is willing to give up such a big piece of cake?

"Lord Gao, we are three great families, but there are only two 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' signs; isn't this inappropriate?"

Xie Anran's face under the veil revealed a stiff smile, and she said to Gao Yang.

"Lord Gao, I hope you can accommodate us a bit more."

"Please report to His Majesty and see if we can add another 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' sign?"

Wang Dezhi and Zhao Jifa said one after another, also putting away their inner contempt and revealing fawning smiles.

Only then did the two know how ridiculous their previous thoughts were.

The 'Living Yama's' art of attacking the heart is well-deserved.

This move is too ruthless!

These two royal special supply signs are like a sharp poison thorn, piercing their hearts, making them, who were originally allies, head toward being enemies...

Gao Yang held the teacup, blew on the heat, and was full of composure.

He had seen the contempt in Wang Dezhi and Zhao Jifa's eyes clearly.

This move was a big gift he had prepared for the Xie, Zhao, and Wang families!

Gao Yang took a sip of tea, letting the mellow tea fragrance explode between his teeth, and said faintly, "On this point, there is no room for discussion."

"You are all merchants by origin, so I don't need to say much about the principles of making money. There are only two 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' signs, and this cannot be changed. But I must emphasize one more thing: the people His Majesty can choose from in the Da Qian world are not just the three of you!"

"Although I have no good feelings for the Jin merchants or the Hui merchants, if you cannot meet my psychological expectations, I don't mind releasing the news!"

"They should be very interested."

Once these words were spoken.

The expressions of the few changed instantly, looking solemn.

Gao Yang's words were nothing short of a warning.

"Uncle Fu, see the guests out!"

Gao Yang waved his hand, starting to drive people away.

Uncle Fu stepped forward immediately, extended his hand, and said respectfully to the few, "Everyone, please."

Seeing this, although they were very unwilling, they could only walk outside.

Compared to the joy when they first stepped into the Dingguo Duke Prefecture, their expressions were now extremely ugly.

Outside the Dingguo Duke Prefecture.

Xie Anran said to the two, "This 'Living Yama' is indeed well-deserved; this move is too insidious. He just wants us to offer a sky-high price so he can sit back and reap the benefits. You must not be fooled!"

Wang Dezhi said seriously, "That is natural."

"The Xie, Wang, and Zhao families have always prospered and suffered together; how can we be easily provoked?"

Zhao Jifa also said, "I think so too. Our three families must not compare prices with each other, so that the 'Living Yama's' abacus will fail and he will take the initiative to make concessions!"

The three said solemnly, then all got into their carriages and left.

Wang family carriage.

Wang Dezhi changed from his fawning face, the walnuts in his hands turning quickly, his eyes flickering.

"Go back and gather all the shopkeepers in the prefecture; we must calculate this account clearly. No matter what the cost, we must satisfy this Gao Yang!"

"This 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' sign and this relationship with His Majesty—my Wang family is determined to get it!"

Wang Dezhi said fiercely.

His subordinate beside him hesitated for a long time before saying, "Why doesn't the Family Head secretly visit Lord Gao and probe his tone?"

"Wouldn't that seize the initiative?"

Hearing this, Wang Dezhi's eyes lit up.

"Second Dog, your idea is good!"

Wang Dezhi lifted the carriage curtain, looked around, and after ensuring he didn't see the Xie and Zhao family carriages, he said with relief.

"Go around in a circle and go to the Dingguo Duke Prefecture!"

On the other side.

Xie Anran's expression was indifferent, saying nothing.

The carriage soon drove into Vermilion Bird Street, and the green-clothed maid beside her couldn't help but say, "Family Head, do you really trust the heads of the Wang and Zhao families?"

Xie Anran looked at the maid with her beautiful eyes and then said coldly, "If they can be trusted, sows can climb trees."

"Ever since Lord Gao said there were three family heads but only two 'Royal Special Supply Bai Yu Sugar' signs, there is no need to talk about trust anymore."

"Turn the carriage around, take a detour; I want to visit Lord Gao alone!"

Green-clothed maid: "Yes!"

Soon, the Xie family carriage headed toward the Dingguo Duke Prefecture again.

Zhao family carriage.

"Hmph!"

"Your financial resources are stronger than mine; if I don't take a side path, can I still have a sip of soup?"
