Shushan.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, green waters and green mountains, in a hidden pavilion, five or six middle-aged people wearing brocade and solemn faces, with anxious faces, sat in the hall and whispered to each other.

The breeze is swaying, the sound of the piano is curling, and there are a few beautiful and glamorous people around, sixteen or seventeen-year-old virgins, with a crystal complexion, soft as jade, and a pair of white jade-like tender feet are exposed under a light veil.

If you come out of the pavilion, the three big characters engraved on the stone wall next to it, "Beidongtian", can be faintly seen in the clouds.

This is the base camp of slave traders on the border of Qin and Shu. The three words of Beidongtian imply the meaning of the new world here, and also indicate that this place is not the same as the outside world, and it has the meaning of opening the world again.

However, Xintiandi may be a cannibalistic hell for ordinary people living here.

"Alas, I would have known that I wouldn't have provoked this murderous demon king", the middle-aged man on the right in the building, dressed in the costume of a Wei countryman, was obese, wiping the fine sweat on his head, and said in a low voice of remorse.

"Wei Da is in charge, don't you feel insulting to your identity when you say these words? Now that you have some setbacks, do you have to give up? On the left, a middle-aged man with a red face, a slender body, and an elegant air played with the little hand of the beauty next to him, and when he heard what the man said, he shook the long inverted eyebrows on his face, and sneered.

"If the Wei family is interested in withdrawing, I, the Qilu clan, am willing to take all the shares of the Wei family in the business alliance with my own strength", looking at the Wei businessman who was still feeling sorry for himself, the eight-character eyebrows then smiled.

Quit? This is absolutely impossible, after the Wei merchant heard this, his face trembled, and he retorted with a smile: "If the Qilu clan is willing to withdraw, my Wei clan is not only willing to compensate for the losses suffered by the Qilu clan this time, but also willing to provide our business alliance with twice the monthly membership fee from today."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Merchants from all over the world came to Shu to do business, and they had to provide a certain amount of money to the merchant alliance every month as a protection fee for all forces in Shu.

After all, outsiders come to Shu to make money, if they don't get through the ghosts and monsters along the way, just the dense mountains and forests everywhere, the rugged cliffs are insurmountable, not to mention the people of Shu hiding in the mountains and forests on all sides, so how to talk about trade and get money.

However, there are people who are willing to increase the protection fee now, and for the representatives of the local forces in the church, they are very willing to see. But for other foreign merchants, it is fighting for food in his bowl, digging up his flesh, sucking his blood.

Before the surrounding people began to speak, when the eight-character eyebrows heard it, their faces suddenly darkened, and they put down the jade hand in their hands and sneered: "It's not that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants."

Suddenly, the people sitting in the hall looked at Qilu's who had just spoken with a puzzled face.

After all, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this sentence is not only said to Wei, but also to the people in Shuzhong who were moved by what Wei said just now.

However, the Qilu clan has always been in the business alliance, they are all low-brow and pleasing to the eyes, everything is high, and it has nothing to do with their own existence, and there are few trade frictions with other merchants, not to mention the Wei aristocratic forces standing behind them, and even the Wei clan of the royal family.

Of course, on the surface, countries will never admit that they have anything to do with this notorious slave trade. Although the Shandong states also allowed the slave trade, they never forced the legal commoners in the country to be slaves.

Could it be that the State of Qi has now far surpassed the State of Wei? Gao sat in the hall, looking coldly at the great patriarch of the Silkworm Cong clan who was fighting with each other in the hall, thinking in his heart.

But this has nothing to do with the people in Shuzhong, no matter who they are, they must pay money to the business alliance, and this principle will not change.

This is also the reason why the Qilu clan faintly scolded their own side just now, greedy and ignorant of proportion, as the representative of Shuzhong in the business alliance, the silkworm Cong clan did not reprimand him in person.

However, if you can turn the right and left, stir up two forces, and earn more wealth, why not?

"Well, Qi Lu's words are not too mean. We merchants are mercenary, as the saying goes, goods go to all places, money is collected in all directions", dressed in blue and red robes, strung by the sharp teeth of wild beasts in necklaces, wrapped around the neck, holding a thick cane inlaid with wolf skulls, touching his long beard of silkworm bushes Mishan said with a smile.

After listening to what the great elder of the Shu Wu clan in the hall said, the Qilu clan, who was about to continue to ridicule just now, suddenly changed his face slightly, and he smiled at the people around him, as if to relieve the tension he had brought.

After all, the situation is always stronger than people. In the barren mountains and mountains of Shuzhong, the warriors of Wei and Qi are no longer useful, not to mention that Wei and Qi are still hostile to each other.

Of course, the Qilu clan was not keen on the wealth brought by the slave trade, he had his own way of making money, but because the power of Wei extended to this, Qi had to intervene.

Otherwise, the Qilu clan, who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture, would not have surrendered their identity and went to such a poor and remote place to sit at the same table with the criminal slave traders.

The big boss Wei on the side also calmed down at this time, of course, this can't blame him for his recklessness just now. In the battle of Changchuan, the slaves who were finally captured everywhere are now almost all folded by the Chu water.

In fact, although the trade of these slaves can bring great wealth, it cannot make the Wei family, who are accustomed to seeing countless treasures, be moved.

The point is that the Wei family did not trade these slaves this time to covet their wealth, but to obtain a large number of slaves. After all, his master is emulating the skilled fighters of Qi State to enrich his country's army.

But now all is gone. The money was good, but these large numbers of slaves were hard to come by. Thinking of his protagonist Ziwei, after learning about this, his hideous face began to worry in Wei's heart.

"Now, Qin's Chen Cangling has arrived in Changchuan, and it can be said that he is eyeing it fiercely.

Search everywhere for the location of our Shang Alliance, intending to avenge the Qin people we killed, what can you do? The silkworm Cong Mishan looked at it and returned to its original state, and now it seems that the businessmen of Wei and Qi are like brothers, and suddenly sighed in their hearts, the people of the Central Plains are really insidious and cunning, elusive, and not so easy to provoke, so they got up and entered the main topic of this meeting.

Suddenly, the three or four middle-aged people in the hall sighed after hearing this, but did not speak.

Now that tens of thousands of slaves have all been folded in Changchuan County, and the reinforcements of the Qin army have arrived, what can be done? There is no one with money.

Seeing the surrounding businessmen, after being silent, Silkworm Cong Mishan smiled and said: "Dear friends of the Central Plains, we feel deeply guilty that you have encountered misfortune in my Shuzhong this time.

The business alliance has been established for many years, and thanks to you, the people of Shuzhong can live and work in peace and contentment. I, the Silkworm Cong Clan, the Kaiming Clan and other four clans in Shuzhong, am willing to send troops to help your friends, but...".

Hearing what the patriarch of the silkworm cong said, the Wei family, who was secretly drinking stuffy wine, suddenly lit up in his heart. If the various clans in Shu are willing to send troops, for the Qin army that is searching around outside the forest, their own side will not be able to fight again.

More importantly, if the victory is won, all the people in the city will not be left to their own will, and the slaves needed in the country will be successfully solved. At that time, not only will he have no fault, but he will also have great credit.

So he hurriedly moved his fat belly, and with the help of the beauties around him, he immediately got up and said: "If this is the case, I, the Wei family, am willing to invest 5,000 gold and 10,000 stones of money and grain to fund our business alliance to cut down Changchuan again, recover your losses, and establish the majesty of our business alliance."

Looking at the emotional Wei family, Silkworm Cong Mishan suddenly smiled, and his own aura flashed, and he was able to bring such a great wealth for nothing.

As for the crusade against Changchuan, the various ethnic groups in Shu have long had this intention.

The ancestor of the Shu king Yu Yan, in the Qin Mugong period, led the army and the Qin army to fight on the edge of the Chu water, the Shu army was defeated, killed and wounded 50,000 or 60,000 people, the blood stained the entire river, lost the Qin State is now the Pingnan region, and lost the teacher and humiliated the country.

What's even more terrible is that after this battle, Shu Wangyu Yu Yu died of serious injuries, so Shu was in chaos, attacking each other for nearly a hundred years, which is the shame of all ethnic groups in Shu.

However, the establishment of the Shang Alliance made the various ethnic groups that were originally hostile to each other, because of this countless wealth, slowly put down their swords and began to unite again.

Of course, this is also the reason why the people in Chencang are living in dire straits, including the reason why the clan is chaotic and rampant in the countryside, and there are also the continuous revenge of the various ethnic groups in Shuzhong behind their backs.

After all, at the beginning, the defeat of Shu was too miserable, bleeding and drifting, corpses were everywhere, and the corpses of Shu soldiers who were thrown in the river actually blocked the river. The people of Shu next to Chu Water did not dare to eat fish in the river and drink the water in the river for ten years.

However, where there is unity, there will be priority and subordination. The intricately intertwined tribes agreed with each other that whoever could recapture the land of Pingnan would be the new king of Shu.

Looking at the merchants from various countries who were interested in the court, Silkworm Cong Mishan continued to tempt and said: "If you are willing, my Silkworm Cong Clan is willing to help you, contact other Shuzhong clans, and jointly send troops to help you recover your previous losses."

Just imagine, as long as we destroy the Qin army that Chen Cang came to help, then the entire territory of Chen Cang will be taken by all of us in the Shang Alliance."

Hearing what the silkworm Cong Mishan said, the merchants in the hall immediately responded in unison: "I am willing to listen to what the elders say."

After all, with only a little money, you can sit and wait, and at the same time get the wealth of a county for nothing, which is really a lot of money, not to mention that most of the Wei family has contributed to it.

Looking at the laughing people in the hall, the Qilu clan on the side glanced at the Wei clan who was still sad just now, but at this time, his eyebrows fluttered, teasing the maid beside him, his face was blushing, and his heart was suddenly very strange.

Isn't there something hidden, Qi Lushi gently put down the wine glass in his hand, and felt that he wanted to go down and have a good look at Changchuan.

Just as Qi Lu continued to think about how to report to the country, he saw a jade hand slowly playing back and forth between his abdomen.

Qi Lu looked up at the maid who was serving beside him, only to see that she was pink and peach blossom at this time, with tall breasts, charming and boneless, and fascinating, faintly compared with the maid who was being embarrassed by Wei's shyness, and suddenly the evil fire in his abdomen suddenly appeared, grabbed the restless jade hand, and pulled it into his arms.

Hahaha, a branch of red dew condenses incense, and the clouds and rain Wushan break their intestines in vain. Don't cave the sky, this is really a new world.
