Chapter 563

Gao Yang paused with his cup, sighing in his heart.

This Zhao Yuheng was truly capable of holding back; he had been so cooperative, and yet Zhao Yuheng had only just now brought it up!

Earning a bit of hard-earned money is not easy!

But on the surface, Gao Yang revealed a smile, "First Imperial Prince, what are you saying?"

"Given the relationship between you and me, why the need for concealment? I am a man of temperament; I treat enemies with the force of a raging storm, but for friends, I am open-hearted!"

"The First Imperial Prince is older than me, so I shall boldly call you Brother Zhao. From now on, in private, you and I shall treat each other as brothers. If Brother Zhao has any business, just speak up; I will not even frown!"

The words were spoken with resonance.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yuheng's face. He had not expected that money and a beauty would be so effective on Gao Yang; after just one meal of drinking, Gao Yang was this straightforward.

They were already calling each other brothers!

He sighed in his heart, thinking that the rumors from the outside world were largely untrue!

The ruthlessness of the 'Living Yama' was only directed at enemies; for friends he recognized, he was not like that at all!

Bang!

Zhao Yuheng set his wine cup down heavily and said with a look of satisfaction, "I, the Imperial Prince, have always been one to ignore minor details. Today, meeting you, Lord Gao, feels like meeting an old friend. From now on, when we are alone in private, you and I shall treat each other as brothers!"

"It should be so, it should be so indeed!"

Gao Yang laughed heartily and pulled Mu Mu Xue Yao over once more.

The latter let out another cry of surprise, and felt a head resting against her chest.

Mu Mu Xue Yao: "..."

"Brother Gao, since things have been said to this point, your elder brother will speak plainly. I have heard that the Emperor of Da Qian encourages the people of Da Qian to wear clothing made of Zhao Gao, but the commercial tax has yet to be finalized."

"Regarding this matter, Brother Gao, could you mediate a little?"

Zhao Yuheng said with a look of nervousness.

He had come on this trip specifically for the sake of Zhao Gao. Behind it lay astronomical sums of silver. Once successful, all the great clans of the world would get a share of the profits, but the one who would earn the most was the Emperor of Zhao, for the Emperor is the greatest clan in the country!

Everyone knew that Gao Yang was the Empress's favorite. If he could be persuaded to speak up, this matter would undoubtedly be pushed forward, and his own status would become even more secure!

Seeing this, Gao Yang set down his wine cup.

He stood up, his brows furrowed tightly.

Afterwards, Gao Yang said with a sigh, "Brother Zhao, given my current status in Da Qian, it is no exaggeration to say that many things can be settled with a single word."

"But this Zhao Gao business truly puts me in a difficult position!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuheng's expression changed.

"Lord Gao, what do you mean by this?" He hurriedly stood up and asked, following behind Gao Yang.

Gao Yang looked at Zhao Yuheng and said, "Brother Zhao, do you know why the Empress issued an imperial decree encouraging the people of Da Qian to wear Zhao Gao?" ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
