Chapter 431 Unfamiliar but somewhat familiar hands
"General Xiang, have you captured people from all kinds of schools?"
Hearing this, King Ju of Chu was a little surprised.
Although the reputation of the various schools of thought was not as prominent as that during the Warring States Period, their power should not be underestimated.
But Xiang Liang actually arrested them?
Xiang Liang smiled at this time,
"Zhuang'er said too quickly, and King Wei may not have heard it clearly just now. What we found was a merchant."
“Business?”
Wang Ju of Wei suddenly realized that the merchants had already declined in Daqin.
"How could General Xiang suddenly have a conflict with the merchants?"
Xiang Liang thought about it and did not go back to this question directly, but asked,
"Have you heard of snow salt in the past few days?"
When he mentioned snow salt, Wang Jiu of Wei nodded immediately and said,
"The people below have sent me some. The salt is as fine as sand and as white as snow, which is really a strange thing!"
“It’s just that the price is too high.”
"I cannot eat it often, either."
Xiang Liang smiled at this time,
"Since the King of Wei likes it, I will send some here."
"But today, I found the source of Southern Snow Salt, which is the merchant."
"With this thing, in just a few months, nearly 10,000 taels of gold were taken away from our nobles!"
"I waited for the matter to be in trouble and needed money, so I invited them to the village."
"After all, doing business in the territory where we are waiting for requires paying some taxes."
King Ju of Wei immediately understood.
The other party said he was invited, but in fact he was attracted by the merchant's money.
However, he didn't mind too much, and now their lives have been taken.
He couldn't care about the gains and losses of the merchants.
Soon the group walked towards the room.
At this time, several black shadows fell on the roof outside the village.
Zhao Lang looked at Zhuangzi's defense and couldn't help but frown slightly.
The entire Zhuangzi has extremely strict guards, no wonder Xiaoliu and the others can't get in.
"Xiao Liu, you guys are outside to pick me up, I'll go inside and take a look."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Xiaoliu and the others to refuse.
Zhao Lang twisted his body and disappeared into the night.
Xiao Liu and the others were confused when they saw it. How could this young master in his family be more professional than his black ice guards when it comes to stealth?
In the night, Zhao Lang recalled the layout of the village and touched the place where the people were most likely to be imprisoned.
I met several patrol teams on the way.
He avoided them all.
He is still very skilled in the special forces' skills to cover up his whereabouts.
I arrived at the place and looked at the room with lights on.
Zhao Lang touched the roof with slight hands.
I heard a familiar voice.
"So it was General Xiang. If you want to cooperate with the little girl, you use this method?"
Shang Yan'er looked at Xiang Liang and Wei Wangjiu in front of her.
Only now did she realize that it was him who made things difficult for her along the way.
It’s ridiculous that when I was in Chu, I met the other party before and even gave me some money.
Facing Shang Yan'er's sarcasm, Xiang Liang didn't care at all. He was not the young and energetic Xiang Yu.
He had already experienced the world. As long as he could make Xiang's family stand out, he would not complain even if he died.
So I returned calmly,
"The merchants are indeed good at verbalizing, but instead of thinking about how to get out, Miss Shang might as well think about how to cooperate with me."
"After all, here, don't you think someone can save you?"
In the face of absolute strength, the clever debate is actually extremely powerless.
A trace of despair flashed in Shang Yan'er's eyes, and she knew that Xiang Liang was right.
This is the old land of Wei State, and she has no support.
But she couldn't help but think of Zhao Lang, but he was thousands of miles away from Liaodong.
It's impossible to save her.
After breathing slowly, Shang Yaner chose to compromise.
Anyway, this is also what businessmen do the most often.
"What does General Xiang want?"
Hearing this, Xiang Liang immediately smiled and said,
"The merchants are indeed aware of the current affairs!"
"This general's requirements are also very simple. The benefits of snow salt are 70%!"
Hearing this, Shang Yaner was almost angrily laughing.
"70%?! Snow salt is precious, and now only Xianyang and Liaodong have output."
"The journey is long and there is not much profit. As soon as you open your mouth, you will have 70%?"
The King of Wei who was standing beside him blushed a little when he heard this. Xiang Liang's request was indeed too much.
Xiang Liang's face did not change for a moment, and he said calmly,
"70% is the kindness of this general to your business. If the big change is imminent, your business will be like rootless duckweed."
"No matter how much money it is, whether in the eyes of Daqin or in the eyes of us, it is just a lamb to be slaughtered."
"If the Shang girl does not agree, I will let you and others see what the merchants will end in the troubled times."
Xiang Liang said slowly, and Shang Yaner suddenly became silent.
Because the other party is actually right, there is no guarantee for businessmen in troubled times.
Only rely on the strong.
But Shang Yan'er didn't want to rely on the other party.
Now keep the other party steady and wait until you take it away. At worst, you won’t do the Xueyan business for the time being!
Looking at Shang Yan'er's changing expression, a trace of disdain appeared on Xiang Liang's face, and then continued,
"I heard that people from the merchants are also good at vain and vain (yi2), so let's stay this time. It just so happens that I have a nephew named Xiangzhuang, who is also at the age of marriage."
"It's very compatible with Miss Shang."
Hearing this, Shang Yaner was shocked and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
She didn't expect that the other party would block all her retreat!
Suddenly, she saw a familiar head growing on the roof behind Xiang Liang and others.
If it were before, Shang Yaner would have screamed.
Fortunately, I have had my previous experience on the grassland, so my expression has changed slightly.
But my heart was instantly at ease.
Although the speed was very fast just now, she already knew who the other party was.
With him there, she must be safe.
With confidence, Shang Yaner quickly said,
"It is of great importance at this time. Please ask General Xiang to give the little woman some time and I will reply to you tomorrow morning."
Xiang Liang also knew that the request he had made was extremely excessive, so he glanced at Shang Yan'er and then said,
"Well, I will give you another night."
After saying that, he took the man out of the room, but two guards were left outside the door.
After the people left, Shang Yan'er quickly turned off the lights.
The guards outside didn't care, and they didn't care as long as the other party didn't leave the room.
Shang Yan'er stood in the dark room, slightly nervous.
With a slight sound.
Shang Yan'er knew that the other party should have entered the room from the roof.
Sure enough, not long after, a strange but familiar hand stroked her back.
