"Palace Master? Are you okay?"
As Yuan Xuan approached, the sun was beginning to set.
Qing Yang could hear his worry and said without even turning his head, "It's right here, right under my nose, and I can't even punish the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce."
Yuan Xuan had just been standing nearby and had heard every word of the conversation between Bai Tan and her. He comforted her, "Yangshan has been able to survive until now, all thanks to the war. When Bai Tan finishes these battles, their good days will be over."
Qingyang's eyes became increasingly gloomy.
She had been the imperial teacher for more than a hundred years, regulating fortune and observing the court, but she paid little attention to business. There were too many things to worry about in Tianshui City, and she did not notice the difference between Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and ordinary chambers of commerce.
Isn't the purpose of a Chamber of Commerce to manage industries and buy and sell materials?
Today, Bai Tan came to plead for mercy, and she suddenly realized that He Xiao had extended his hand into every corner of the Shining Gold Plain through the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, including the land beneath her feet!
You clearly want to beat him, but you still have to do business with him.
absurd!
Why couldn't even she, even the gods, handle a few small branches of the Chamber of Commerce? Because Yang Shan seemed to have grown into this land, deeply bound to the interests of everyone, whether common people or dignitaries.
The gods thought they could uproot it by giving a few orders, but as soon as they started, the people here cried out and jumped up to protest, because the pain was like breaking bones and tendons, which was unforgettable.
The followers of the God actually stood up to protect He Lingchuan's Chamber of Commerce, and were not hesitant to disobey their master.
He Lingchuan didn't even need to do it himself to start a fight between the left and right sides.
Qingyang had also seen this practice of "deeply binding with the opponent's internal interests", but that was at the center of the vortex of Lingxu City's officialdom. It was a high-level power struggle. Only top-notch people were qualified to participate, and it took years of hard work to build up a huge network of interests bit by bit.
She didn't expect that someone on the Golden Plains could use this set of tactics in business operations, and use it quickly and covertly.
Even if He Lingchuan had started planning since he entered Yao Country, how long had it been before he had woven this network?
Looking back now, this man was the talk of the town and a trendsetter in Tianshui City at the time, constantly attracting the rich and powerful to invest in new cities and good things. Was he paving the way for today's situation?
At that time, Qingyang thought that his goal was to defeat her, but she didn't expect that He Lingchuan had already surpassed her and set his sights on something deeper and farther.
Those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for one area.
In such a hot early autumn, she felt a chill on her back.
The several Yangshan branches in Yaodi are difficult to deal with, so how many plans and back-up plans has He Lingchuan laid in the entire Shining Gold Plain?
Who can stop him?
Is it still too late?
"Do you know why He Xiao was able to embed the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce into the entire Shining Gold Plain in just two years?"
Why can't others do it, but only He Xiao can succeed?
This is unprecedented.
She thought about this answer for a long time.
Yuan Xuan knew that she was not really asking him, "Please give me some advice, Palace Master."
"His Chamber of Commerce is not hostile to any forces in Shining Gold. It seems that it only holds the two goals of peace and making money. Sometimes it doesn't matter if it suffers a small loss." Qingyang said slowly, "Whoever lets down his guard against him, he can paralyze the other person's central nervous system little by little. But the other party is like taking numbing powder, not only does he not feel pain, but he is very happy."
"He treated the Allied Forces like this, and he treated Yao Kingdom like this as well."
Yuan Xuan shuddered subconsciously. That's right!
Although Bai Tan and the gods were responsible for the destruction of Yao State, He Xiao also played an indispensable role. He provoked the relationship between King Yao and Qing Yang and strangled the economic lifeline of Yao State, but King Yao did not hate him the most before his death!
In the entire plain, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is clearly a behemoth that openly allows its flesh and blood to grow together with the Shining Golden Plain, but no one thinks it will pose a threat to them - including Bai Tan.
"Yaoguo can't do it because it doesn't have the opportunity!" Yaoguo has been lying on the Golden Plains sucking blood, and anyone with insight can realize this. How could it be like Yangshan, always doing "good" to others?
"But he won't always be so kind. Rumors are spreading that he is about to turn hostile. Bai Tan is such a fool!" She exhaled, and rarely scolded so bluntly, "What a short-sighted man!"
Even though he knew He Xiao's plan was powerful, Bai Tan was completely focused on the war in Yaodi and could only pay attention to the immediate situation. Could he really defeat the Nine Nether Emperor through him? Even Qingyang himself felt that this idea was absurd.
But she couldn't laugh.
The Golden Plains has become like this. From now on... She closed her eyes and exhaled lightly. Where should she go?
Just then, the sound of flapping wings was heard outside.
Yuan Xuan walked out, and after a while he came back with a small pottery figurine and put it on the table: "It was sent from the Vaisravana Temple."
"Go down."
This pottery figurine is in the shape of an owl, with fine craftsmanship, and is round and cute.
Qingyang reached out and stroked the pottery figurine, and the thing suddenly shook and came to life.
It turned its head 180 degrees, facing Qingyang, and spoke in human language:
"A message from Emperor Beijia."
It turned out to be a message from the Emperor! Qingyang immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to it:
"Qingyang Listening to the Sound."
Tianshui City is far from Beijia due to the high mountains. Even if the bird demon wants to send a message, it will take a long time to fly back and forth, and it is easy to lose the message along the way. Therefore, if the demon emperor wants to communicate with Qingyang, the fastest way is to transfer through the gods.
The advantage of doing this is, of course, that it is fast; the disadvantage is that the gods can hear it clearly, so it is difficult to whisper anything.
Therefore, the Demon Emperor's message was also very brief, mainly talking about three things.
First, as the highest executor of the Heavenly Palace in the Shining Golden Plain, Qingyang must take the initiative to attack the Nine Nether Emperor He Xiao and his subordinates, break their delusion and eliminate evil, and nip the threat in the bud.
The second is to investigate the true cause of death of Miao Zhantian and Bai Ziqi.
Third, the forces left by Tiangong and Beijia on Shanjin, such as the beasts and the big monsters, were all handed over to Qingyang for full dispatch.
Qingyang agreed, and the owl stopped making any more noise and turned back into a pottery figurine.
She walked outside, looked at the distant mountains and let out a long sigh.
The gods still looked down on the "reincarnated dragon god", but finally gave her power. This was the result of her own efforts.
As soon as the news of Miaozhantian's death came, Qingyang expressed his judgment to the Emperor through Duowentian.
She is different from Bai Ziqi. As the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace, Bai Ziqi has no power to say "no" to the gods and cannot go against the will of the gods. Even if the order is against his will, he must execute it.
Qingyang was the Demon Emperor's confidant, and the title of Heavenly Palace Protector was just a nominal title to facilitate her actions. She could give up if she wanted to, and the gods could do nothing about it.
