Chapter 149 The Wheel of Fortune Turns

hind you from Qi”“We are all registered in the Sihai Merchants’ Alliance. A general can check the roster and know for sure, how could it be fake” Chen Yong said with flattering words: “General, please...Jiang Wang was keeping a low profile, even venturing less into the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness. He often patrolled outside Qingyang Town, preparing for war. However, the first uninvited guests that arrived were not at all what he had expected.

When Qian the steward appeared outside Qingyang Town, he still maintained a semblance of respectability.

At least his clothes were clean, his hair neatly combed, and he was accompanied by more than ten guards.

There are three carriages, two of which are loaded with valuables and one with oneself.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

From afar, Jiang Wang saw that he was blocked at the town's gate. He wasn't worried, but rather pleased.

Because this indicates that Qinyang Town had foreseen the situation in Yangguo and made cautious countermeasures. This undoubtedly increased safety.

The man jumped off the carriage with great enthusiasm, shouting loudly: "Young Master Jiang! On behalf of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, I have come to aid Qingyang Town!"

Jiang Wang... would naturally not believe it.

Although their interactions were limited, this Mr. Qian had already left a deep impression on him. The man's words, it seemed, weren't even worth trusting when it came to his tone of voice.

“Thank you for your kindness!” Jiang Wang shouted: “However, during the period when Qingyang Town is closed off, outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit. Please understand, Qian Shi.”

He turned his head and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, call a few people to bring over the Four Seas Merchant Alliance's supplies!"

"Alright!" XiaoXiao responded in a loud voice. He immediately directed two martial artists to take over the carriage.

Qian, the steward, turned green in the face. Seeing that the martial artists from Qingyang Town were already approaching swiftly and efficiently, he hastily said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We are here to provide manpower, manpower!"

"Human resources" Jiang Wang looked very confused.

"Indeed!" Qian, the steward, said shamelessly, "This is a time of great peril, and labor is scarce everywhere. Considering our good past cooperation, this time the Four Seas Merchant Alliance has sent to support Qingyang Town five extraordinary cultivators and ten ordinary warriors, including even Master Quan himself!"

"Since it's human strength, then..." Jiang Wang said, "I understand!"

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the town. Only the lone stag antler and the Four Seas Alliance members remained facing each other.

A cool breeze blows.

"Wait, sir!"

Manager Qian shouted loudly from behind, "Of course there are supplies! A whole cart of goods, all donated free of charge!"

But he was also afraid that Jiang Wang would only leave behind property, so he added: "Human and material resources are a package deal!"

Jiang Wang stopped and turned, a smirk on her face: "Qian Shi, you seem unaware that Qingyang Town is now overcrowded. We certainly don't lack manpower."

“To be frank with you, Brother Jiang, you should know the current state of the Yang nation. As people from the Qi nation, we should unite to protect ourselves!”

"I am from Zhuang Country."

“Alas! Being in Yangguo, we are all foreigners! If we don't unite ourselves, who else here would care about us”

The people of Qingyang Town are very united with me.

Qian the steward, of course, wouldn't be so easily silenced. He immediately interjected, "In these turbulent times, what matters most is extraordinary martial power! As far as I know, apart from you, my younger brother, there aren't many extraordinary cultivators in Qingyang Town, are there With our combined strength, we could make Qingyang Town impregnable. We have five extraordinary cultivators!"

Jiang Wang casually glanced at several extraordinary cultivators in the Qian Zhi's team: "To be frank, none of them could make me draw a second sword."

This is too arrogant. Not to mention the guards with different realms of cultivation like "Tongtian," "Zhoutian," and "Youmai," just Qian Shi himself, he's also a transcendent cultivator at the Tenglong Realm.

But when it came to Jiang Wang's words, he really couldn't refute them.

Even if he were stronger, could he be stronger than Xi Munan

"Master Jiang," Qian the official's address went round and round before settling on 'Master.' He, being a seasoned businessman, understood at this point that there was little room for negotiation. He could only grit his teeth and say: "Just tell us, what will it take for you to take us in The Four Seas Merchant Alliance will surely repay your kindness!"

The border to the Yang Kingdom was closed, so he couldn't leave or return to Jia City. When he learned about the mutated plague, he chose to flee immediately. Thinking of the chaos that would follow in the Yang Kingdom, he took all the advance payment for goods that the Jia City government had given him and disappeared.

At this point, returning to Jiacheng is like courting death, who knows when one might "unexpectedly get the plague" and die.

But in other places, he was unfamiliar. Wandering about during turmoil with wealth and resources is a path to death.

In the entire Jiacheng city, only Qingyang Town with the heavy Xuan family's signboard can be considered a peaceful place. Moreover, Jiang Wang himself is extremely powerful, at least surpassing the ordinary city lords of Yangguo.

If possible, he certainly didn't want to ask Jiang Wang. He even less wanted to stick his neck out and wait to be slaughtered.

But what can be done when the situation is like this

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Back then, he demanded four thousand gold coins for two eggs, and ultimately received two hundred Dao Yuan stones. At that time, he was undoubtedly elated, returning home triumphant. He must not have imagined what today would hold.

"What's the point of holding back information It's only after the fact that you can talk about it. Don't you agree" Jiang Wang asked.

This is called "bargaining".

Then Qian, the steward, smiled and said, "That's reasonable."

“Ordinary possessions are actually of little use at this time, because even with money, you can't buy anything. What Qingyang Town needs is supplies. Ordinary people need food, clothing, medicine, and so on, while extraordinary cultivators need Dao Yuan Stones as a supplement…” Jiang paused: “Well, Dao Yuan Stones are very important.”

Qian the steward immediately understood: "Speaking of which, Master Jiang has a box of Dao Yuan Stones with me. I've always wanted to return it, but worldly affairs have kept me busy, delaying it for so long. Today happens to be a good day to return them to you!"

"Is that so I don't remember that." Jiang Wang was surprised: "How many Dao Yuan Stones were in that box"

"There should be three hundred!" Qian Shi gritted his teeth.

Jiang Wang said dejectedly, "Only three hundred"

“Perhaps… five hundred!” Qian Shi smiled, but his expression was grim. “I remember now, it’s five hundred Dao Yuan Stones!”

Jiang Wang stared at him for a while, knowing that about five hundred Dao Yuan Stones would be enough to make him wince. However, whether it was his bottom line, he couldn't tell. After all, this person was cunning and difficult to figure out.

Compared to the two hundred Dao Yuan Stones that were extorted before, it has doubled and more.

Jiang Wang stopped speaking and turned to say, “Finding something lost is indeed a happy surprise. However, what worries me most is the issue of living supplies for the people in town...”

Five hundred Dao Yuan Stones are equivalent to five Wan Yuan Stones, which is certainly not a small sum. However, compared to the wealth Qian Shifu managed to amass during this short period of "disaster relief", it's actually insignificant. The Dao Yuan Stones he left behind in Pingxi County are far more than this amount.

He let out a breath of relief and a genuine smile appeared on his face: “We have no problems with supplies! The Four Seas Merchant Alliance's stall in Jiac City hasn't dispersed yet, so I can use this time to transfer a lot of supplies.”

"Then this matter will be left to Qian Zhi!"

Jiang Wang finalized the cooperation and beckoned, "Xiaoxiao, go prepare accommodations for the noble individuals from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. Make the conditions as good as possible."

"Mr. Jiang is too kind!" Qian, the steward, smiled and walked forward, wanting to walk side by side with Jiang Wang, but saw that he had already walked towards the town.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead he enthusiastically beckoned them back: "Come into town with me! From now on, we'll all be family!"

Jiang Wang's face was still too thin. If it were Chong Xuan Sheng, he would probably already be shoulder-to-shoulder with Qian Shi and as close as family by now.

It's just...

Although Qian Zhi's self-involvement in the "luo wang" (a term likely referring to an illegal or illicit online activity) brought him significant profits, it also cast a shadow over his life.

If even the executive of the renowned Four Seas Merchant Alliance is in such a state, then what must be the overall situation in the Yang Nation

Could he really keep Qingyang Town peaceful in such a situation
