After a morning of negotiations, Rowling and the Dwarf King returned to the camp together, and at the suggestion of the Dwarf King, they summoned Xiao Qiang to listen to the other party's advice on the outcome of today's negotiations.

But as soon as Xiao Qiang entered the door, Rowling seemed to have changed, sitting on the chair alone, her cheeks bulging slightly, looking very angry, the dwarf king was puzzled when he saw this, thinking that this person was fine just now, why did Xiao Qiang change his appearance as soon as he came.

Curious, the dwarf king looked at Xiao Qiang, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but the imaginary response did not appear, but Xiao Qiang looked at Rowling like a man who made his daughter-in-law angry, standing in place and not daring to come forward to talk or say more.

As a person who came over, the dwarf king looked at Rowling and then at Xiaoqiang, and when he understood everything, he asked deliberately with a smile in his heart.

"Xiaoqiang, I slept well last night."

The dwarf king's ridicule immediately attracted Xiao Qiang's dissatisfaction, and he glared at the dwarf king viciously, as if he was angry, and replied unhappily.

"Okay, last night was very good."

These involuntary words, coupled with that contrived expression, immediately caused the dwarf king to laugh.

"yes, then why did I hear a ghost crying wolf howl last night, and I thought something was going on here?"

was exposed by the other party, Xiaoqiang's old face turned red, turned his head, and snorted.

"That's where you misheard."

The dwarf king pretended to touch his head, and said in a deliberately uncertain tone.

"Yes, but I hear it like ......."

Seeing that the dwarf king had a playful heart, and he had to expose his lowness endlessly, the annoyance on Xiao Qiang's face suddenly turned into panic, and he hurriedly interrupted.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, you better talk about today's negotiations."

Hearing this, the smile on the dwarf king's face became even brighter, but the dwarf king was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat, and after laughing twice, he also left Xiao Qiang face, and turned to follow the other party's meaning.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I'm a little hungry after a morning of talking today."

Saying that, the dwarf king also touched his round belly, where would the high and raised appearance make people feel that he would be hungry, Xiaoqiang was also heartbroken when he saw this, and he wanted to use this sentence to find some ground, but after thinking about it, he immediately gave up the plan in his heart.

At this time, the dwarf king also talked about the results of today's negotiations.

"Today's negotiations are very smooth, basically according to our previous plan, although there are still some contradictions on the terms, but after a few consultations should be able to resolve."

"So, you are all very satisfied with the outcome of today's negotiations?"

The Dwarven King nodded, and then asked as if he had thought of something.

"However, there is also a problem, that is, the eldest prince has asked the Radiant Chamber of Commerce to be the sole agent of trade between the Chiyan Empire and our two clans, and the eldest prince seems to be very concerned about this matter, which makes me a little puzzled.

"Oh? So the eldest prince only recognizes the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce alone, and will not let other chambers of commerce participate in it? ”

The Dwarf King nodded and said, "I can hear from his tone that he has decided to let the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce engage in this matter, and there is no intention of hesitation or relaxation, obviously there is some kind of agreement between the Great Prince and the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce, this kind of thing can be seen without guessing, but I wonder what kind of price the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce paid to make the Great Prince make this decision to offend others, after all, the large and small chambers of commerce of the Chiyan Empire have more or less aristocratic backgrounds." ”

Seeing the doubts on the dwarf king's face, Xiao Qiang smiled and stretched out five fingers, and that scene fell into the eyes of the dwarf king and Rowling, which immediately attracted bursts of exclamations.

"What, the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce actually gave the eldest prince fifty percent of the profits? How could they pay such a big price? ”

This was Rowling's exclamation, and the Dwarf King also looked incredulous, but for an old man who had lived for more than two hundred years, he felt that this matter was by no means what it seemed, so he said in a deep voice.

"The Huiyao merchant definitely has other plans, otherwise it is impossible to give up such a big benefit, what do you think, Xiaoqiang?"

Xiao Qiang glanced at the Dwarf King in surprise, and then smiled.

"One move to the Son of Heaven and one move to the minister, what do you say Hui Yao Shang has in mind?"

This sentence immediately woke up the Dwarven King, and he said incredulously.

"He, does he want to use the Radiance Chamber of Commerce as a bargaining chip and completely fall to the eldest prince?"

Xiao Qiang nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head again, which caused the two to be even more puzzled.

"Xiaoqiang, isn't what the Dwarf King said right?" Rowling was aroused by Xiaoqiang's actions, and forgot about what she had pretended to be angry before.

Xiao Qiang saw that the two of them were curious by his words, so he smiled and said slowly.

"The merchant is a great person, his mind is by no means as simple as you and I imagined, this time it looks like it is directed to the eldest prince's family, in fact, he also has his own purpose, but I can't say it at the moment, but there is one thing you have to remember, the merchant pursues profits, this is an eternal thing, and if he can pay half of the profits, he must be able to get more benefits."

Xiao Qiang's explanation was really a little shocked, the eyes of the two of them widened wide, and their mouths were even more open into an O-shape, obviously this answer made their hearts turn upside down.

"Then you say, what is the true purpose of the Shining Merchant?" Rowling asked eagerly.

Xiao Qiang shook his head and sighed.

"I've been thinking about this matter for a while, but people's desires are different, and the things they pursue are also different, and I can't be sure of the true purpose of the Radiant Merchant Master, so I can only roughly guess that his goal is definitely not in the Chiyan Empire."

"Huh? Why do you think that? ”

"It's very simple, in the eyes of merchants, a Chiyan Empire is not enough to satisfy him, even with the backer of the eldest prince, but the Huiyao merchant will definitely think that the eldest prince is not only a backer, but also a mountain in front of him, in front of use, people with desires and ambitions will never let a mountain block their path, I doubt that the eldest prince is just one of the steps in the plan of the Huiyao merchant, as for what he will do later, with the current information, no one can say."

Rowling suddenly became worried.

"Xiao Qiang, according to what you said, the Radiant Merchant Lord is definitely a very thoughtful person, as a middleman between us and the Chiyan Empire, will he betray our interests?"

Xiaoqiang said uncertainly.

"Probably not, after all, he has just formed an alliance with the eldest prince, and it is obviously not in his interests to make him suspicious in this matter, so we don't have to worry about it in a short time."

At the beginning, Xiao Qiang also had this concern in his heart, but as his thoughts deepened, he felt that the possibility of this in a short period of time was extremely low, after all, the Radiant Merchant had already defected to the eldest prince, if the eldest prince was dissatisfied and suspicious in this matter, it would obviously be extremely unfavorable for him, so before his goal was achieved, it would never be possible to do this kind of thing, but would use extremely high profits to confuse the eldest prince, so that he could achieve his goal.

After receiving Xiaoqiang's affirmation, Rowling was relieved, but at the same time, she also thought of a question, if the eldest prince and the Radiance Chamber of Commerce colluded, bought low and sold high, and squeezed the interests of the elf clan, then how would she respond.
