Creation Color Master

The Jiang family mansion in Liushang County was brightly lit at this moment, and the sound of wine glasses clinking seemed to celebrate the victory of the day.

The goods of the Lu and Bai families were sunk into the surging river, which not only caused them to suffer heavy losses, but the compensation to the merchants also made the two families bleed heavily.

Jiang He stood up with his cup in hand and raised it to his father in the honored seat, saying, "Father, I offer you a toast. If it weren't for your planning and bribing the coolies on the merchant ship in advance, how could we have locked onto the target so easily?"

"The Lu and Bai families actually colluded with that useless prince in secret. They are simply sleepy. Our Jiang family is the largest family in Jiangzhou and the master of Jiangzhou."

"I believe that after today, they will understand how ridiculous it is to be an enemy of our Jiang family, and they will also know what a stupid decision they made."

Jiang Yuhan looked at his eldest son, the son whom he had placed high hopes on, and raised his glass with joy in his heart.

After the father and son signaled to each other, they drank the wine in their glasses.

"Jiang He, this is just a warning to the Bai and Lu families. Don't let a small victory get you carried away. Our fight with Prince Tang Chengze has just begun, so don't be careless."

After teaching Jiang He, Jiang Yuhan looked at the other confidants in the room, pressed his hand in the air, and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all the elders of the Jiang family, and you are also the group of people I, Jiang Yuhan, trust the most. Although we can easily achieve our goal today, don't forget that the day after tomorrow is also the day when our merchant ship will set off. By then, the Bai and Lu families will definitely not give up, so you must be cautious."

"Jiang Song, Jiang Xin, the two of you will mobilize the Jiang Guards the day after tomorrow to replace the normal guards on the ship and make sure to protect the safety of the family merchant ship."

Two men who looked somewhat similar to Jiang Yuhan stood up and nodded to show that they understood.

Then, Jiang Yuhan glanced at the table of people near the door and said, "Elders and guests, the safety of the merchant ship the day after tomorrow is very important to the Jiang family. Please escort it together and go."

These days, the Jiang family has been trading with the neighboring Yunzhou, using gold and silver to purchase food and military equipment. At the same time, they have been stepping up the training of disciples in the clan to be prepared for any emergency.

The same is true for the transaction the day after tomorrow. The merchant ship is carrying hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Jiang Yuhan has been looking forward to expanding his family's team after the completion of this transaction.

Relying on his keen premonition, Jiang Yuhan began to expand the family's military early on and even spent a huge amount of money to train an elite army to protect the river.

Originally, Tang Chengze was a puppet in their hands. He trained these soldiers to be his successors. But now, the situation suddenly changed and he became the elite guard to protect the family.

In the vast night, the moonlight shines on the sparkling river surface.

He Bo sailed upstream at such a speed that it seemed as swift as an arrow shot from a bow.

This is the Cangjiang River, which is also the water trade route controlled by the Jiang family. The Jiang family’s merchant ships pass through here every time.

As He Bo rowed past, under the rolling river water, there were yin and yang marks gathered by the rhythm of the water. There were so many of them and they were densely packed, just like fish swimming in the water, floating with the waves.

At the same time, Jia Xu's crow flew away into the distance, cutting through the darkness, carrying the message that He Bo needed to deliver.

As messages spread, the figures of sky crows could be seen everywhere in Jiangzhou.

Under the command of Shan Gui, the Lu and Bai families set their sights on Jiangzhou's shops and businesses in other counties. The shop sign with the Jiang family emblem was now shrouded in a sea of ​​swords and sabers.

The small families in Jiangzhou that Jia Xu integrated were scattered in every corner of Jiangzhou like stars in the sky. At this moment, they all bared their bloodthirsty fangs and stared at the behemoth Jiang family.

Although they are weak, they should not attract attention. The goods sold by these families will not cause too much fluctuation in the market, and they should not be noticed by the Jiang family.

Therefore, they purchased all the food, weapons and other war supplies in Jiangzhou and finally integrated them together. It was through this method that they concealed the truth from the Jiang family and fed the armies of Ying Bu and Zhongli Mei.

Similarly, this is why the Jiang family purchased war supplies from Yunzhou.

The entire Jiangzhou market, under Jia Xu's layout and penetration, is already strong enough to compete with the Jiang family.

Isn’t the ownership of Jiangzhou’s war supplies the best proof?

At this moment, the Jiang family was still immersed in the dream of becoming the overlord of Jiangzhou. They were not even aware of the countless ticks in the dark that were frantically sucking their blood.

Ying Bu led his troops along the river and finally found the mark secretly left by He Bo.

This is where they ambush, according to Jia Xu's arrangement, they are greedy.

This action is not just to retaliate against the Jiang family. It would be a pity if the gold and silver traded by the Chamber of Commerce sank into the rolling river. They want to secretly snatch them and use them for themselves.

Ying Bu looked at the dense woods on both sides and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, go into the woods, cut down trees and build boats, and wait for the Jiang family caravan to arrive."

Zhongli Mei came to an official road, which was not far from Liushang County, but this road was the only way for the Jiang family to support various parties.

The Storm Blood Killing Spear in Zhongli Mei's hand emitted a cold light, just like his mood at the moment.

Their mission was to ambush the Jiang family disciples who came to support them, and to ensure that any merchant ships in the river or shops in various places were isolated and helpless.

The troops are hidden on both sides of the official road, and the secret troops are hanging at the throat of the Jiang family, ready to give a fatal blow at any time.

That night, undercurrents were surging in Jiangzhou, and deployments against the Jiang family were made one after another.

······

Time passed quietly, and the Jiang family's merchant ships were lined up on the wide river. The three-story-high behemoths stood still in the rolling river.

The boxes of gold and silver weighed down the merchant ship a little.

The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuhan, Jiang He and other senior members of the Jiang family all stood by the river, feeling the breeze and looking at the flag representing the Jiang family on the mast.

In the cabin of the merchant ship, the river guards with swords in hand were hiding there. Each of them had a determined look in their eyes. They were born to protect the Jiang family.

The guest elders dressed as crew members appeared blatantly in front of the public, but their disguise skills were extremely sophisticated.

“Woo woo woo—”

The sound of the horn rang out faintly, resounding across the entire river surface, responding to the roar of the rolling river water.

The merchant ships set sail from the shore, loaded with gold and silver, and headed away into the distance. The fluttering flags seemed to reveal a bloody storm.

Jiang Yuhan looked at the merchant ship going away, his eyes full of solemnity. He knew in his heart that difficulties were waiting for them in the dark.

Although the current situation makes him feel pressured, he has also deployed the best back-up plan. Let him see who is better.
