After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Originally, Bater wanted to catch the people in Lin Ting's shop and force her to show up, but he didn't expect her to move so quickly and ran away before he could react.

This woman made Bater hate her to the core. He had really met a tough opponent.

"Reporting to the king, there are some other merchants from Dongxia Country who are reluctant to give up the opportunity to make money in Xiluo. They did not listen to the Chamber of Commerce and forced themselves to stay in Dongxia Country."

very good!

"Bao'e, capture all the remaining Dongxia merchants and hang them on the walls of Karl. If no one from the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce shows up within three days, shoot them on the spot."

Aunt Jing delivered this news to Lin Ting by carrier pigeon, and she burned it in front of the emperor and Xiao Jingchuan.

"Greed is insatiable. Since they are unwilling to return with the Chamber of Commerce, we should find a way out on our own."

Lin Ting and Aunt Jing tried their best. She spent so much energy to get those businessmen to withdraw their business, but not only did they not listen, they also quit the Chamber of Commerce on the spot.

Since he couldn't save her, Lin Ting wouldn't try to save her again.

Their current situation is that they have trapped themselves in a cocoon.

"Father, General Han and I are ready to go. King Xiluo has violated the agreement by killing our merchants from the East and West.

The Dongxia Kingdom is fighting for justice for its people. As a great nation, it will not allow itself to be trampled upon. It must make Xiluo submit to its rule."

Xiao Jingchuan and General Han are ready to fight at any time.

Inside the Xiro Palace, Bater stared coldly at Bai'e below.

"Lin Ting hasn't appeared yet?"

Bai E's forehead was covered with sweat. He wondered what the king was thinking. How could a few small merchants force the wife of the Minister of Industry of a country to show up?

"Your Majesty, those people couldn't stand the torture and have confessed everything. They once participated in Dongxia's Chamber of Commerce in Xiluo.

But a few days ago, when the Chamber of Commerce wanted to withdraw all of Dongxia’s business in Xiluo, they were unwilling to leave and voluntarily withdrew from the Chamber of Commerce.

They also swore on the same day that if anything happened to them in Xiro, it would have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce, so even at the cost of their lives.

Not to mention Lin Ting, even the people who once established the Dongxia Chamber of Commerce in Xiluo would not come to rescue them."

Bater was so angry that his teeth were itching. After hearing Lin's withdrawal, it further confirmed what Xiao Chu had said to him.

It is outrageous that such a great country as Xiluo was fooled by a defeated country like Dongxia.

"Come here, obey my orders. Seal off Xiluo and capture all the Dongxia merchants still inside Xiluo. As for those outside the city walls, shoot them to death with arrows."

Bai E wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, my king."

Xiao Chu did not say anything, but he was very happy in his heart. By killing these merchants from Dongxia, the alliance between the two countries was torn up, and his plan was finally going to be implemented.

"King, no!"

Before they could react, a deep voice came from outside the hall. The voice arrived before the person.

Xiao Chu looked at the person who came in. His white hair was scattered all over his head, and his eyebrows were long to his chin.

Beards are a style favored by the Siro people, but the goatee on the chin looks like it has never been trimmed.

His face was old, but his skin was very fair. His cloudy eyes seemed to have a power that could see through people's souls, which was frightening.

He came with a crutch, on which hung a red cloth, a cow skull, and a snake with its tongue sticking out, coiled on it.

"King, don't kill those people!"

When Battelle saw the person coming, he stood up from his high seat respectfully.

"Father Wu, why did you come out of seclusion? Didn't you say you wanted to practice fasting?"

Wizard Rama is the most prestigious wizard in the country of Xiluo. Bater became the king of Xiluo all thanks to his divination behind the scenes.

After Bater took office, he even called him "Witch Father".

Wizard Rama faced Bater, but his eyes turned to look at Xiao Chu. He was full of hostility towards Xiao Chu.

"King, why are people from Dongxia Kingdom here?"

"This is a long story. I have my own plans. Those outside of Karl's wall must die today."

Wizard Rama sighed and said to Bater, "King, tell these people to leave. I have something to tell you."

Bater waved his hand, and Xiao Chu and others, as well as everyone in the hall, went out and closed the door.

Bater helped Wizard Rama sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"Wufu, please have some tea."

Wizard Rama was not in the mood for tea. He looked into Bater's eyes and spoke.

"The king has been in a restless mood recently. We must not provoke a war with the Dongxia Kingdom. This war will be very dangerous, and Xi Luo may not be a match for it."

Bater smiled, sat next to the wizard Rama, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Father Wu, the Dongxia Kingdom is harming me. If I don't resist now, it will be even harder to resist later. Before they become powerful, I will kill them by surprise."

Wizard Rama's divinations used to be very accurate, but in the past two years, his mistakes have become more and more frequent.

Two years ago, they went to attack Biancheng, saying they would surely win a great victory. However, Saren was captured, his cavalrymen were killed, and his warhorse was taken away by Xiao Jingchuan.

And when they signed the contract, he said that drought in the border town would cause chaos, but Lin Ting found a source of water at the critical moment.

Although there are many mistakes, there are also times when the divination is correct.

"King, did that person from Dongxia come to tell you something? I think he has other intentions."

Xiao Chutu wanted the throne of Dongxia Kingdom. He told Bater that he wanted to kill Xiao Jingchuan.

"If Father Wu knew what Dongxia had done to Xiluo behind my back, he would definitely support me in sending troops..."

Bater told Wizard Rama what Xiao Chu had told him and what he had investigated himself.

When Rama heard the word Lin Ting, his forehead wrinkled and he slammed the crutch in his hand to the ground, causing the snake on it to coil even tighter.

"Lin...listen..."

Wizard Rama whispered these two words. For some reason, the combination of the two ordinary words made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Wang, do you have a portrait of Lin Ting?"

This was the person Bater wanted to kill. He had already asked Xiao Chu to draw a picture of Lin Ting.

He placed the portrait in front of the wizard Rama, and when he saw the portrait for the first time, he was also amazed for a moment.

I originally thought that Lin Ting was an old woman who was full of calculations, but she looked so young in the portrait.

After making some inquiries, he found out that the number one businessman in Dongxia Kingdom was only in his twenties, and in just a few years, he had expanded his business throughout Dongxia Kingdom.

If they were not enemies, Bater would have admired her talents.

When Rama saw Lin Ting's portrait, he first measured Lin Ting's face with his hands, and then used the face, combined with his name and the time of day to make calculations.

He has a strong ability in divination. He doesn't need the eight characters of birth chart, but he can know people's nature and understand their destiny.

But after thinking for a long time, he seemed to have not figured out Lin Ting, as if there was always something blocking him.

Every time when I was halfway through divination, my mind would become confused, like a fog.

"Father Wu, have you figured out anything about this woman?"
