On the second day, it snowed heavily and Luqi Mountain was covered with ice and snow.

Mi Yan only brought two guards this time and arrived at the agreed location in a simple manner.

However, when he saw that Jiang Yue came alone, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

He originally wanted to show his magnanimity, but he didn't expect to be outdone by Jiang Yue again.

After the two met, Jiang Yue smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Mi Yan nodded and answered firmly: "You can't limit our salt."

Jiang Yue responded: "No problem, as long as you don't owe any debts."

Mi Yan rolled his eyes at her when he heard this. Princess Lingshu didn't come along this time, so she spoke casually, complaining, "Isn't the gold you cheated me of enough?"

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "That's the price I pay for doing things for you. Tell me, is it worth it?"

Mi Yan snorted and stopped arguing.

He knew in his heart that if Jiang Yue hadn't intervened, the current situation might be completely different. Perhaps his brother would have ascended to the throne, and he might have difficulty saving his life.

Mi Yan said with a serious expression: "But...if the Northern Wei Jiao Chi really invades Daqian, we Da Mi will definitely come to share a piece of the pie."

Jiang Yue still smiled: "As long as you can beat the princess, come on."

Mi Yan frowned and said unhappily, "I really don't understand. Now that Daqian is surrounded by war and is about to end, how can you be so loyal to a princess? I promised you that I would not harm the people. Isn't that enough?"

How great it would be if Jiang Yue was also from Ximi!

Jiang Yue shrugged and replied, "What I value is character and ability, which has nothing to do with royal status."

Mi Yan said somewhat helplessly: "Perhaps under my governance, the people can live a better life."

Jiang Yue responded with a smile: "That is indeed possible, but we, the people of Daqian, do not belong to you."

Mi Yan suddenly laughed: "Do you really believe that I can be a good emperor?"

Jiang Yue nodded in affirmation: "The disciple is better than the master, you should be better than your father."

Mi Yan said proudly: "Of course, I will definitely make Ximi the most powerful country among the six countries."

Jiang Yue encouraged him: "Okay, then go for it."

Mi Yan suddenly leaned closer, showing two rows of white teeth, and lowered his voice and said: "Do you want to split Hedong County, take Muchuan as your own territory, and then become a local emperor? If you want, I can form an alliance with you and divide Daqian together."

Jiang Yue almost choked with laughter: "Where did you see that I have such great ambitions?"

Mi Yan spread his hands: "You really don't want to consider it?"

Jiang Yue would not consider it. She had the confidence to build a brand new Muchuan, but she was not sure about taking over the entire mess of Daqian.

Mi Yan sighed after being rejected and began to discuss how to contact each other in the future and the general rules of trade. As for the specific details, they would be discussed after the first batch of goods was delivered.

When Jiang Yue was about to leave, Mi Yan suddenly called her.

“That—” Mi Yan kicked the snow, embarrassed.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Um... can you give me the map I had with me?"

Ok?

"I'll buy it back."

"Hmm? You mean the treasure map? Okay, I'll bring it to you when we meet again."

Mi Yan was surprised and suddenly asked loudly: "Do you know that is a treasure map?"

Jiang Yue: "So what if the treasure map is hidden? It's a one in ten thousand chance. I won't go looking for it anyway. I'll sell it to you for a hundred taels of gold!"

Jiang Yue was not interested in the map, but only in the material of the map. It was not afraid of water or fire. It was a pity that no one on Jizui Mountain had figured out the material.

Jiang Yue returned to the camp and told Princess Lingshu about her plan to return to Muchuan.

Princess Lingshu was helpless, she never thought that one day she would cooperate with Ximi, but Jiang Yue was right, as long as it could reduce the suffering of the people, everything would be worth doing.

"Isn't this for the people? There are no eternal enemies in the world." Jiang Yue said to Princess Lingshu.

Princess Lingshu was reluctant but still nodded: "I know, but... never mind, let's give it a try."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Lingshu, we won't suffer any loss."

Princess Lingshu sighed, "I hope so. The internal situation of the country has just stabilized, and the wars around us have not yet subsided. If we can reach an agreement with Ximi, we can at least buy Daqian some breathing time."

Jiang Yue nodded.

Princess Lingshu thought for a moment and said, "In this case, there is no need to go to Muchuan by detour. Let's open the market directly in Qingzhou. I will take care of the above matters. Just open the market and be careful!"

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "The people of Qingzhou will be grateful to you."

After Jiang Yue left, Princess Lingshu couldn't help but sigh. Although Jiang Yue's behavior seemed absurd, it might not be unacceptable.

For example, the opening of the market with Ximi not only solved the problem of material shortages, but also resettled tens of thousands of people at once and saved many lives.

If I continue to stop him, it would seem unreasonable.

Jiang Yue was about to go back to Muchuan. When she came out of the tent, she saw Jiang Xue standing outside and raised her eyebrows.

"Sister, is the deal settled?"

Jiang Yue said, "Will you come home with me?"

"There is a handover in Qingzhou. Let me accompany you to Qingzhou. Sister, take this."

Qingzhou County Magistrate’s token.

Jiang Yue smiled: "Let's go!"

Jiang Yue had only walked halfway when she ran into Mi Yan and his men waiting for her.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

Since the deal has been made, Mi Yan did not hide it and said with a smile: "I will negotiate a year's supply of salt before your New Year, so that I can go back with peace of mind."

Jiang Yue also smiled: "I promise you will get a lot."

After speeding all the way to the edge of Qingzhou City, Mi Yan's eyes widened.

Yellow sand covers the ground? Snow falls everywhere. Is this border so desolate?

Someone shouted in surprise: "Miss Jiang, Deputy General Jiang, you are here!"

The people at the city gate were already familiar with Jiang Yue. They threw away their shovels and jumped out: "Enter the city, close the gate, and defend!"

A few followers whispered to the soldiers, and everyone surrounded Mi Yan as if he were a monkey.

Is this the emperor of the Ximi Dynasty? The emperor has come to Qingzhou? Deputy General Jiang and her sister are really capable. They captured the emperor.

Mi Yan's face couldn't be any darker, and he felt it was too embarrassing to hit someone in front of Jiang Yue.

"Everyone, please disperse. We are not going into the city. We are here to do business."

"A-choo!" Wan Fubao ran over, shouting as he ran, "I'm finally back, I'm finally back."

"cousin--"

Jiang Yue stopped him.

“This is—” Wan Fubao’s feet were tied up, and he jumped up suddenly, his eyes widened: “They really brought in a buyer.”

Before leaving, Jiang Yue told them to just focus on production, saying that she had a way to handle the first business. Everyone thought it was Jiang Yue who was encouraging them, but they didn't expect that she really had a way.

The two sides immediately held talks in the yellow sand outside Qingzhou City.

"Doing business?"

"do not fight?"

"Yes, once the market opens, our people won't be able to disturb each other's people."

"Salt."
