Chapter 166: What Can I Do About It?
t a derisive chuckle: "I'm becoming more and more curious. What exactly is hidden in that Tianqing Stone vein Something worth so much to you that you're willing to abandon everything the Hu family has...The siege of Yang Kingdom was the result of Chong Xuan Chu Liang and Chong Xuan Sheng pooling all their political resources to make it happen.

Although it catered to Emperor Qi's wishes, the fact that it could be accomplished was still a result of Chongxuan disregarding everything.
He had previously made connections in Handan after his time in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, expanding his influence widely. Under the guise of competing with Chongxuan Zun for the position of Chongxuan Sect Leader, he befriended many of Chongxuan Zun's rivals.
And then he bet it all again.

What he relied on was his understanding of the emperor's desire to control the eastern regions, and the opportunity came with the plague that struck Yang Guo!
Jiang Wang didn't ask Chong Xuan Sheng, when he had this big idea about Yang Guo.
Because some things, even between friends, shouldn't be explicitly stated. Chongxuansheng has his own ambitions, and Jiangwang has his own aspirations. Just as Chongxuansheng wouldn't ask, Jiangwang cultivating power with himself rather than Chongxuansheng at its core, what is he trying to do
In fact, even before the plague began to spread when Pig Face started it, Yingwei, which was established by Chong Xuan Sheng, had already detected this. Yingwei was newly formed and deployed in large numbers to Yang Guo, one to hone their team and the other was that the initial purpose was actually just to help integrate commercial resources within Yang Guo.
It was after learning that Bai Gu Dao had spread the plague that Chong Xuan Sheng decided to increase his bet.
Such a major event as sending troops to conquer a country was top secret before the deployment. Anyone who leaked information would be executed. Therefore, he did not reveal any news to Jiang Wang, and even the powerful Four Seas Merchant Alliance was unaware of it beforehand.
>
Apart from the high-ranking officials of the Qi state's military and government, only those who participated in promoting this matter would know about it.
Therefore, this siege of Yang Guo is not just a desperate gamble by Chong Xuan Sheng alone, but also the key to Chong Xuan Chu Liang's political power.
Zhong Xuan Chu Liang Jue absolutely does not allow anyone to question this. Whoever stands in the way, they are the enemy.

Fu Miao's words, no matter what her intentions were, had already angered him.
Anyone who dares to speak the name of a person within this land shall pay a price, regardless of their status, be they commoner or nobleman!

The nine honorary directors of the Sihai Merchant Alliance, though each holding high titles and coming from prestigious families, would be met with death if they dared to seek out the murderer. One by one, they would fall. Even all nine together wouldn't stand a chance against Chong Xuan Chuliang.
"Naturally...it's not that we disapprove of the General." Fu Miaoxin knew she had misspoken, and with a strained smile, tried to salvage the situation. "The Four Seas Merchant Alliance has a long history, and in serving the country and its people, we have always done our utmost. Over the years, we have generously contributed to national affairs and paid taxes, consistently ranking among the top contributors. Previously, when aiding Yang Nation, it was because of state policy support, as Yang belonged to Qi's sphere of influence. But the situation changed drastically overnight, and the initial investment has been entirely lost, which is a heavy burden for the Alliance!"
“Of course, a vast ocean won't change its course because of a single drop of water. National affairs are not affected by the opinions of just a few individuals. Although the losses are severe, the Four Seas Merchants Alliance all agree! It's just...”
Fu Miao carefully observed Chong Xuan's expression: "Commander, why would you make things difficult for the Four Seas Merchant Alliance You want us to sweat and bleed again, lose money and even risk our lives"
"Mr. Fu, if you don't know yourself, there's no need to ask the Marshal. Let me answer you." Chong Xuan Sheng spoke up from the side.
The person slowly, almost clumsily, turned around and took a thick stack of paper books from Fourteenth's arms.
Then he lifted it high, turned around, and smashed it in front of Fu Miao!

"Have a look yourself!"
With just a glance, Fu Miao knew it was the Four Seas Merchant Alliance's confidential accounts.
For this "epidemic relief business" trip to Yangguo, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance has two sets of accounts. One is public, beautifully presented for Yangguo officials, and the other is a secret account only accessible to high-level members of the alliance for monitoring and inspection.
In fact, the reason he rushed to the military camp in person was to protect the secret account. He didn't expect that within such a short time, it would be taken by Chong Xuan Sheng.
"You, the Four Seas Merchants' Alliance, swore oaths to save the afflicted and aid Yanggu. You made all sorts of promises before gaining the trust of Qiyang and Yangting, taking on the responsibility of transporting supplies and assisting Yangting in combating the plague."
Zhong Xuan angrily scolded: "And you actually sold the intentions of the Qi people to sell and give half their people to Yang Guo at a high price. This led to Yang Guo's inability to provide disaster relief, the plague worsened, and it became like this!"
"This also forced me to station troops at the border, in order to prevent the plague from spreading eastward. But this has led to speculation throughout the land and Yang Guo suspects us!"
"Fu Miao! You four seas Business Alliance, do you know your crime"
When Chong Xuan mentioned earlier that the Four Seas Merchant Alliance profited from the plague in Yang Guo, Fu Miao hadn't reacted much. However, when he heard the last few sentences, he was deeply moved!
The Heavy Xuan faction is trying to shift the blame for Chen Bing's national border onto the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. They are also trying to focus all of Yang Guo's resentment on the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.

“Absolutely ridiculous!” Fu Miao exclaimed indignantly.
"Do you need to see the evidence" Chong Xuan Sheng asked.
With his question, Fourteen inexplicably brought out a large chest from somewhere and walked over to place it in front of Fu Miao.

“Open it.” Chong Xuan looked at Fu Miao and said, “The evidence of your Sihai Merchant Alliance raising prices in Yang Guo and bullying others, the Yang Guo people’s blood and tears accusations against your Sihai Merchant Alliance… all the evidence is inside! Fu Miao, how can you not open it to take a look”
Of course, all of this evidence was collected by Jiang Wang.

Fu Miuxin knew that this entanglement was pointless. Chong Xuan Sheng was clearly well-prepared.
Instead of addressing him, he turned to Chongxuan Chuliang and said: "General, even though the Sihai Merchant Alliance may have some negligence, it is in Yang Guo, not Qi territory. Even if there are mistakes, those who are hurt are from a foreign country. Why should we Qiren make things difficult for our own people My Sihai Merchant Alliance is willing to donate 100,000 taels of Dao Yuan Stone, just hoping that General will achieve victory!"
Zhong Xuanchu Liang did not speak.
On the contrary, Chong Xuan Sheng suddenly turned to those around him and asked, "Does this mean bribery"
"Chongxuan, you scoundrel!" Fu M iu glared at him. "Wasn't it enough that I refused to see you in Handan You had to go this far"
At first, after Chong Xuan Sheng won the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, he went straight to Handan and wanted to make a name for himself in the imperial capital. Initially, things were difficult, as many people rejected him, including Fu Miu.
Firstly, the Haishang Alliance, with its vast resources and influence, doesn't care much about a reckless gambler like Chong Xuan Sheng. Secondly, they believe Chong Xuan Sheng has no chance of winning against his brother Chong Xuan Zun, and are therefore unwilling to risk any capital on him.
Even though Hou Xuan later defeated Jiang Wuyang, the prince of Qi, at Nan Yao City and became famous throughout the land, Fu Miao's opinion never changed.
He just thought that although Chong Xuan Chulian expressed support for Chong Xuan Sheng, it was just an elder's love for his younger generation. His own will wouldn't be influenced by Chong Xuan Sheng.
However, it was only today that I realized, not only can Chongxuan Sheng influence Chongxuan Chuliang, but sometimes he can even directly act on his behalf! As is the case right now.
For the Four Seas Commerce Alliance, this situation would force them to greatly revise their assessment of Chong Xuan Sheng.
But at this time...the most important thing is to pull ourselves out of this muddle.
In any case, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance cannot become a cause for war between the two countries, nor can it bear the heavy responsibilities that those in power want to place upon them.
"Sorry, I don't remember that."
Facing Fu Miao's questioning, Chong Xuan simply said, "What I say and do comes from my sincerity. As for the general's actions, it is even more so. You may doubt me, but how can you doubt the general"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"No, that's not what I meant!" Fu Miao felt speechless but still forced himself to say, "It's just that Marshal Chongxuan, our leader is very concerned about this matter, you must consider it carefully."
"So you're going to use the Alliance Master against me" At this point, Chong Xuan Chu Liang, who had been watching Chong Xuan Sheng perform all along, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The laughter suddenly stopped: "You repeatedly insult me, speaking falsely time and again. You should be punished by having your tongue cut out. In order to let you go back and tell your leader, I will take your left ear instead."
“After you return, you might as well ask him for me…” Chong Xuan said in a calm voice. “What can he possibly do to me”
