Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 213: Three Heroes Fighting
Xixi Muli has endless doubts in his heart, and Sun Yanwan has countless curiosities in his heart.

Sun Yanwan only let Wei Yingxiao accompany him and sent the rest away, for fear that this wealthy merchant would notice any flaws.

Without exchanging pleasantries, the two immediately engaged in a fierce intrigue. Sun Yanwan tried once and immediately felt a bit overwhelmed. He thought to himself, "This merchant Bo Shi has a very broad mind and is a first-class talent!"

Xiximuli was also very surprised. He had never seen anyone as quick-witted and open to new things as Sun Yanwan.

After all, Sun Yanwan had a vision and knowledge that transcended a generation, and he did not reveal much about the Dalang Dynasty, but through conversation, he found out a lot about the situation of the Boshi Kingdom.

The Bo Shi Kingdom was founded on commerce, and domestic merchants were extremely powerful. Top merchants could even purchase a piece of land from the king and establish a country within a country. In addition to paying taxes, they could do whatever they wanted on the land they purchased, even make their own laws, and have independent armies, making them extremely powerful.

Sun Yanwan was amazed and asked, "Isn't the emperor of Boshi afraid of a rebellion by merchants?"

Xiximuli laughed heartily and said, "The king is no fool. How could he not have thought of this? The land purchased by our merchants can only be used for trade, not for farming. All our grain and wine must be purchased from the king. So, no matter how rich and powerful the merchants are, or how lavish the land they purchase, if they rebel, within a few months their armies will be starving, and no one will want to fight."

Sun Yanwan had never heard of such a country on Earth, and his curiosity grew. However, he was more concerned about Wuying Hou. What was he up to?

He immediately questioned Xixi Muli. Although Xixi Muli didn't want to say anything, he knew that this was a fraud. Wuying Hou must not have told the truth to Boshi Kingdom. He had no choice but to say, "Wuying Hou's fleet came to my Boshi Kingdom to do business in the early days. They also bought a piece of land and built a huge manor. They even met the king of Boshi Kingdom several times."

"It was also his suggestion that we go to war with Northern Yan this time. We can send a fleet, land from the rear, and join forces with the frontline troops to attack Northern Yan."

"But I never thought that this place is not Tuwei City, but Black Dragon City. It is not the territory of Beiyan, but the land of Dalang."

"This person must have deceived our king, but now the fleet is on the way, and the plan cannot be changed..."

Sun Yanwan casually asked, "I wonder how many ships and soldiers the Boshi Kingdom has sent this time?"

Xixi Mulli knew that Sun Yanwan was trying to gather intelligence, but he also wanted to scare the Lord of Dalang City. If the other party could give up Black Dragon City obediently, it would be a good thing.

He replied proudly, "This time, our Boshi Kingdom has sent a total of over 700 large ships and 150,000 troops. Among them are countless extraordinary people. No country can resist us."

Sun Yanwan was also startled. After pondering for a moment, she asked, "Marquis Wuying has also attacked several nearby cities. Why didn't Bo Shiguo land somewhere else? Why did he insist on coming to Black Dragon City?"

Xiximuli said helplessly: "There is no room for so many troops elsewhere."

Sun Yanwan didn't know much about military affairs, but he had seen maps of several nearby cities and roughly knew that his Black Dragon City had the best terrain and was indeed suitable for the fleet to land.

He thought to himself, "Whether Boshi is truly at war with Northern Yan or just pretending to destroy Guo, I must write to Luo Jing as soon as possible to explain the matter clearly. I'll also send a letter to nearby Dalang City. I wonder how much use these letters will be?"

Sun Yanwan had little faith in the efficiency of a feudal dynasty like the Great Lang Kingdom. Generally speaking, local officials would ignore such apparently "unbelievable" news, just as they had done before on Earth. With this in mind, he decided to send a letter to all the major sects and martial arts families, spreading the news regardless of its effectiveness.

Sun Yanwan and Xixi Muli chatted for several hours, both still wanting more. Just as Sun Yanwan was thinking about how to get more information out of this Boshi merchant, a patrol officer came to report, shouting, "The pirates suddenly started fighting. They are all attacking the new ship."

Xiximuli was horrified, and his fat body jumped up as agile as a monkey.

Sun Yanwan watched coldly and felt that the merchant from Boshi Country had extremely strange movements, which had nothing to do with light body kung fu. He just relied on his great strength, which was somewhat similar to the "light body kung fu" of external masters.

Sun Yanwan had also roughly inquired about it just now. The cultivation system of the Bo Shi Kingdom was completely opposite to that of Da Lang. They discovered that the thirty-six hidden meridians were connected and could produce various supernatural powers, so they focused on cultivating the hidden meridians. Instead, they regarded the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve main meridians as "waste meridians", believing that these twenty meridians could only produce "Kundalini", which means the energy of life, and could not provide any supernatural powers. They were useless meridians.

Sun Yanwan assessed the situation and thought to himself, "I don't know how good Bo Shiguo's martial arts skills are until I actually fight him. I need to find an opportunity to test my skills against Xiximuli."

Xixi Muli rushed to the top of the city wall and saw that his ship was filled with shouts of killing and flames in several places. He felt heartbroken and shouted, "Wuying Hou, you are indeed a profiteer. You have sold out the Boshi Kingdom."

Xixi Muli knew that he had "seen" the truth. Wuying Hou would definitely not allow him to return to Boshi Kingdom alive. His only option now was to ask Sun Yanwan for help. He hurriedly said, "If Mr. Sun is willing to help me, I am willing to give him 50,000 gold beads."

Sun Yanwan pointed at his ship that was being burned and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to take out a single penny." He didn't want to help this merchant from the Boshi Kingdom.

Now that the fleet of the Boshi Kingdom is about to arrive, even if Xiximuli tries his best, he cannot stop this. How can he help the Boshi Kingdom invade Dalang?

What's more, Black Dragon City is his place!
Sun Yanwan racked her brains to think about how to reverse the crisis, but she couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

Did Xixi Muli think Sun Yanwan was just waiting for a good price? He immediately said, "I can also add twenty more female slaves and one hundred more male slaves."

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "This is really unnecessary!"

He looked out at the large ship in Xiximuli on the sea and thought to himself, "Marquis Wuying is truly decisive. He took action against his ally without even a moment's hesitation."

"Since he sold Bo Shi, it means Beiyan paid a very high price!"

"I wonder what benefits Beiyan gave him?"

Marquis Wuying looked at the burning Boshi ship. Although he felt deeply sorry, he also knew that the ship could not be saved. He said lightly, "Capture all those Boshi people. There must be many princes and nobles in Dalang who would like these fresh people. Take away as much of the wealth and goods on the ship as possible. If you can't move it, sink it with the ship."

He glanced at Black Dragon City again and suddenly said with a smile, "My well-trained beauty is not so easy to eat."
