"The money has been spent, but the goods have not come in yet. We have to wait for the supply of materials to be obtained before we can cut off this route." Otherwise, won't he have to pay for all the losses? At this point, Bai Tan's tone became firm, "Since the gods despise Yangshan, we will draw a clear line with it once we have collected all the goods, and then think of other ways to purchase supplies later."
Qingyang smiled sarcastically.
She has been in the officialdom for more than a hundred years. Can't she see that Bai Tan is using the tactic of "delay"?
“Once all the goods are collected”? I’m afraid that before these battles are over, the goods will not be collected.
When a big war breaks out, everything in the country must give way to the war.
What Bai Tan meant by "no longer using the Yangshan sign" is very simple. Just change the store and the sign. It can be called Zhaocai Chamber of Commerce or Jinbao Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, once the name is changed, it is no longer Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, the name change is only applicable within Yaodi. Outside Yaodi, these chambers of commerce still hold the banner of Yangshan, otherwise how can they deal with foreign countries?
Just as Bai Tan said, Yangshan only provided a signboard and channels in Yaodi. Now he can take off Yangshan's signboard, but he must keep Yangshan's channels.
So, did Tianshen and Qingyang destroy the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce in Yaodi?
Of course not. Yangshan just changed its name, but as long as the channel is there, it will remain.
The people and horses are still the same, just with different names.
Bai Tan didn't know that what he did was actually a double-edged sword to the gods.
But what can he do?
The existence of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was related to the interests of Tianshui City and local bureaucrats, and to the logistics and military supplies of his Baitan army. At least before the civil war in Yaodi ended, he could not directly wipe out Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.
Qingyang was also somewhat bored, and stopped making things difficult for Bai Tan: "Let's do it this way."
Bai Tan was overjoyed, and stood up and bowed deeply: "Palace Master is wise! Then I will trouble you to make suggestions to the gods and convey my firm execution!"
He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, may I ask Palace Master, has there been any news from above regarding the religious affiliation of Tianshui City?"
After Miaozhan Tianzun's death, Tianshui City was left with a void of faith, and many temples were at a loss. Who was Miaozhan Tianzun's successor? Which god could become the main god here? Bai Tan had asked Qingyang twice, but he had never gotten an answer.
Qingyang sneered secretly, and said on the surface: "The time is too short, be patient."
How many days have passed since Miaozhantian’s death?
Yaodi and even the Shining Gold Plain are one of the important sources of faith for the Lingxu gods. Whichever god can take over Miaozhantian's job will see a surge in strength and status.
Based on Qingyang's understanding of the gods, the situation up there is probably a mess, and the result won't be decided so quickly!
Bai Tan responded with a sigh of disappointment. Just as he was about to leave, Qing Yang suddenly asked:
"After defeating Chen Chuihua and taking over the entire territory of Yaodi, who will be your next enemy?"
This question was unexpected. Bai Tan was startled and blurted out: "Are you from Luodian?"
The people of Luodian and the Yao Kingdom are sworn enemies. After the fall of the Yao Kingdom, it caused a lot of trouble. Luodian Kingdom's Zuo Zongchang Qu Ruhai led his troops south and fought with him for a long time. It still poses a serious threat to the safety of Tianshui City.
Qingyang sneered: "Have you ever thought that it could be the Nine Nether Emperor?"
"He Xiao?" Bai Tan really hadn't thought about it. Even though there were legends about the Nine Nether Emperor and the Dragon God, weren't they just a few legends?
Where is He Xiao himself? Where is the army? So far, not even a shadow of him has been seen.
Isn't it groundless to say that Emperor Jiuyou wants to seize Yaodi?
His top priority is to defeat Chen Chuihua and drive out the Luodian people. How could he search for an enemy in vain and worry about an enemy that only exists in legends?
To put it another way, even if Emperor Jiuyou really has ambitions, the Shining Gold Plain is so big, why can't they attack anywhere else? Why do they have to come and cause trouble for Bai Tan first?
Normal people would pick the weak ones first, right? Although the Yao land is in chaos, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the elite soldiers and generals are still far better than other places.
If he could fully reclaim Yaodi, Bai Tan's first wish would definitely not be to fight, but to recuperate and recover. He even prepared a plan for adjusting the internal affairs, waiting to implement it immediately after defeating Chen Chuihua.
But the Heavenly Palace Guardian mentioned the Nine Nether Emperor again, so Bai Tan could only say solemnly: "This is indeed a big threat."
"So, what does General Bai plan to do?" Qing Yang saw through his perfunctory response. "The gods also think that he will be a big threat to Shanjin."
"After defeating Chen Chuihua, I will have an army of 180,000, a large population, and countless resources. Why would I be afraid of a fake dragon god with unknown origins?" Bai Tan patted his chest and said, "Palace Master, just rest assured. If He dares to attack, I will teach him that war is no joke, and then kill him to make you feel better!"
Last year, He Xiao used the power of King Yao to stir up trouble in Tianshui City, but he gave Qingyang a big setback. Bai Tan still remembers it.
But he didn't know that this flattery backfired. Qingyang was unhappy and frowned, saying, "Let me tell you the truth. The gods have already regarded the Nine Nether Emperor as a serious threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible, so you must prepare for the rainy day. If you can kill He Xiao before it happens, you will have made an unprecedented contribution. By then, even if you want to ask the Holy Lord Lingxu to be the main god, He may agree happily."
Bai Tan was shocked and blurted out: "This is serious!"
Qingyang took a sip of fruit wine and said, "Did I ever joke?"
fake.
How could the gods take the fake Dragon God seriously?
Bai Tan rubbed his hands, a little excited: "I understand, thank you Palace Master for your guidance! As long as Chen Chuihua is captured, I will immediately prepare for the battle against Emperor Jiuyou!"
What this means is that he can only defeat one opponent at a time. He has to take down Yaodi first before he can consider killing He Xiao.
Qingyang didn't move his eyebrows, put down the cup and said: "Go."
Bai Tan said goodbye and left Youhu Cottage in a hurry.
He took a break from his busy schedule to plead with Qingyang, and he would have to rush back to the front line after the task was completed.
On the way, he said unconsciously: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household."
"General?" The guard beside him was puzzled.
Bai Tan did not answer. The high and mighty gods and Qingyang only knew how to issue orders, but they had no idea of the hardships he faced in leading troops to fight, and the many reasons he had to go through.
Oh, these gods are also very snobbish. They won’t release the eagle until they see the rabbit. They won’t bless him to be the lord of Yaodi until they see him defeat Chen Chuihua.
Fortunately, he is about to succeed.
As for the Nine Nether Emperor? Oh, if the gods were really anxious to get rid of the Nine Nether Emperor, they would help him end the war in Yaodi as soon as possible, right?
After Bai Tan left, Qingyang sat in the small building by Youhu for a long time.
She didn't say anything, just stared at the dead branch on the wall. It was early autumn now, and the old peach branch hadn't sprouted since spring, and it looked lifeless.
What a pity, because it was full of flowers last year.
Perhaps it also knows that this is the last spring, and it is worth it to use all its strength to leave the last bright bloom to the world.
