The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1757: The stalemate continues

Views:

The precious light was bright red, and looked like a round object, hanging high in the sky. It could even block out the light of the sun, moon and billions of stars. Only the light of Wenqu Star was not affected.

When the precious light appeared, the sky and the earth became dark, and then there was an endless red light shining across the world.

The sky is like blood.

The Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia were originally a struggle between the human race's national destiny and power, and they were not real divine weapons, but their power was far above that of the sub-sage literary treasures. Even so, they were blocked by the blood-colored light.

The dragon of the Yangtze River, the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia and the red light were deadlocked in the sky, unable to pay attention elsewhere.

The people below the Yueyang Tower were all amazed and in disbelief. They never expected that a mere literary gathering could lead to a fight of this magnitude.

Ge Yiming suddenly smiled and said, "What are the Great Xia Nine Cauldrons? I'm sure you are familiar with them. They are as powerful as the Stone Gate of the History Path, the Tiger Talisman of Victory, or the Code of the Holy Path. They are mysterious and mysterious, and difficult to guess. Only three cauldrons were used to completely suppress the Yangtze River Dragon. I don't need to say much about their power. However, that red light can actually balance the Great Xia Nine Cauldrons. Everyone, do you know what this means? It means that this is a saint's treasure equivalent to the original copy of the Spring and Autumn Annals. It should have been borrowed by a dragon saint from the Four Seas Dragon Palace!"

Many people looked at Ge Yiming with extremely disgusted expressions. It was normal for this person to be an enemy of Fang Yun. After all, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. But at this time, when Jiao Sheng seized the Yangtze River and the human race used the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the water dragon, this person was still speaking for Jiao Sheng, clearly saying that there was a Dragon Palace behind Jiao Sheng, revealing that this time the water race joined forces and was more determined than the sky to punish Fang Yun.

Wu Jun said impatiently: "What are you barking about, Qing dog? It's noisy! Come, draft an imperial edict for me. Qingjiang Trading Company is helping Qing State and causing trouble for Xiangzhou. It is suspected that there are spies from Qing State. From today on, all trading companies in Wu State will cut off their ties with Qingjiang Trading Company. Once discovered, they will be charged with treason. In addition, confiscate the assets of Qingjiang Trading Company across the country!"

Many people were stunned. They did not expect Lord Wu to be so impulsive. Even during the period of hostility between the two countries, merchants from the Qing and Wu countries were cooperating and even had direct access to the upper echelons. After all, all the big trading companies had the shadow of the saints' families or the royal family.

There is a good saying from a miscellaneous writer: businessmen have no borders.

Although there are conflicts between the two countries now, after the first battle of Liangjie Mountain, all countries have lifted their hostility and the merchants of the two countries have close exchanges.

Once Wu State intends to target Qing State's business, Qing State will certainly retaliate, and Wu State's losses will definitely not be less than Qingjiang Business's losses.

The Qingjiang merchant group is a small one, but the merchant group of Qing State is a big one. The noble families, the King of Qing and the officials behind the merchants are even more terrifying.

In Shengyuan Continent, all businessmen are very conflicted. They very much hope to get help from bureaucrats, but at the same time, they hate and fear bureaucrats very much. Because no matter how rich a businessman is, any prime minister, let alone the king, can make him live a life worse than death and force him to obediently hand over his property.

Many businessmen tried almost every possible way to solve this problem, but most of them gave up in the end because they found that unless they overthrew the existing political system, they would always be suppressed by the bureaucracy.

However, there are still some people who continue to accumulate strength and work hard, secretly joining forces with the Haiya Ancient Land, intending to overthrow a country and establish their own country.

When Ge Yiming heard what Wu Jun said, his face turned pale. Qing Kingdom and Wu Kingdom were in opposition, and the scholars of Qing Kingdom were not afraid of Wu Jun at all. But the problem was that Wu Jun used him as an excuse to punish Qingjiang Commercial Bank. Once executed, Qingjiang Commercial Bank would lose at least 15% of its annual income, which was enough to seriously damage Qingjiang Commercial Bank. The powerful people behind Qingjiang Commercial Bank could not help but hate Ge Yiming.

Qing Jun was furious and said, "Wu Jun, you are going too far!"

"What Fang Xusheng said is indeed true. Qing Jun barks at the snow and only knows how to yell. It's annoying!" Wu Jun was too lazy to pay attention to Qing Jun.

Several officials of the Wu State wanted to make suggestions and stop King Wu from issuing such an edict, but they were hesitant.

The people of Qing State were very excited. Most of the scholars of Qing State did not dare to attack Fang Yun, but they would show no mercy to the people of Wu State.

After a few breaths, Qing Jun gritted his teeth and announced loudly: "From now on, as long as Qingjiang Commercial Bank suffers a penny of loss in Wu State, Qing State will completely sever cooperation with Dawu Commercial Bank!"

Dawu Trading Company is the exclusive trading company of the Wu Kingdom royal family.

Many Wu officials were about to advise him, but Yi Zhishi looked at Lord Wu and said with a smile, "Lord, you are indeed rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. I admire you."

Wu Jun chuckled and said to the officials nearby: "Did you see that? The literary masters all praised me. You should learn from them!"

The officials rolled their eyes. How could a monarch be so disrespectful? However, everyone began to ponder why Yi Zhishi would praise Lord Wu. If Yi Zhishi did this, the monarch would flatter him instead. It would be impossible for the monarch to praise the emperor blindly.

Many people thought about it carefully and suddenly realized it.

Li Fanming sighed softly, "This Wu Jun, you really can't be fooled by his words and deeds. He curses all day long, doesn't observe etiquette, and is criticized by the censors every other day, but he is much smarter than many people. Maybe he is not very smart, but in many cases, he can always think of things that others can't think of. If I could think of it, I would definitely invite Qi Jun to come here in advance. Anyway, our Qi Kingdom and Qing Kingdom are not on good terms."

Sun Naiyong laughed and said, "Although we laugh at this monarch every day, we still respect him in our hearts. He is the eldest prince, so he naturally becomes the crown prince, but almost 90% of the officials are against him taking over the throne. The late emperor was in poor health, and before he died, he overcame all opposition and used his popularity to force the four ministers and generals not to obstruct Wu Jun's ascension to the throne. He was given ten years, and if Wu State declined after ten years, the monarch could be replaced. It has not even been ten years yet, but no one has mentioned replacing the monarch, and they have all recognized him."

"Indeed, I have heard of many deeds of this man. For example, one year the Wu Kingdom was defeated in a war with the barbarians. The next year, the King of Wu appointed himself the Great General and led the army in person. In the end, he forced the soldiers to fight bravely and won the war. Many people cursed him beforehand, but many people understood his intentions afterwards. If the Wu Kingdom could not achieve a brilliant victory in the next year, the soldiers would become more and more decadent and would most likely never recover."

"This time, too, he came here to enjoy the scenery, laugh and curse, but in fact he had a purpose. This time he punished Qingjiang Commercial Bank, made enemies with the big merchants and some dignitaries of Qing Country, and even offended the forces in the country that made money from Qing Country. In fact, he gave up the secular interests of gold and silver and aimed at the Blood Mang Realm!"

"Wu Kingdom and Qing Kingdom have never been on good terms. Lord Wu helped Fang Yun at the literary conference this time. Fang Yun will definitely remember it. If there is anything happening to the Wu Kingdom royal family in the future, Fang Yun will definitely take care of it. This is much more important than hundreds of millions of taels of silver."

Everyone was watching the magical light in the sky competing with the Nine Cauldrons of Daxia, and they kept talking.

Fang Yun said nothing, his mind rose into the air, looking towards the mouth of the Yangtze River in the distance.

The Jiaolong Palace is just below the estuary. Before the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia appeared, huge dragon horns appeared on the river. The size of the dragon horns was beyond imagination. The tops of the two horns were a full ten miles apart. It can be imagined that the dragon head was at least two miles long.

The surface of the two dragon horns glowed with a faint golden light.

The Dragon Saint actually went all out and came out of the water to patrol the river with his holy body.

However, when the Nine Cauldrons of Great Xia appeared and suppressed all the enemies, the Dragon Saint was unable to float up. Only after the dragon clan's treasure appeared did he continue to rise slowly.
