They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Just then, a figure called out from outside: "General, Ye Changfeng of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce has an invitation!"

"According to the visitor, he intends to discuss business matters with you, General. He said... he can help you make a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Baifeng paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"What a coincidence! I was just looking for you guys, and you just happened to show up at my doorstep..."

"Make a lot of money? You must be trying to get back at me, right?"

Xue Baifeng murmured something, then slowly stood up and picked up the knife on the table.

He strode forward, lifted the tent flap, and looked at the newcomer: "You bring two hundred men, come with me!"

"I'll go ahead and enter the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce. You and your men wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, no matter what happens, immediately surround the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce with your men!"

"In addition... go and inform the garrison in Shuiyun Town to prepare themselves and tell them that I have captured a rebel!"

"Someone is trying to collude with the barbarians to invade our Great Xia. One head... that's a contribution worth several taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, the man outside the tent immediately brightened up and nodded, "Understood, General, I'll make the arrangements right away!"

Xue Baifeng smiled and muttered to himself, "Making big money... you guys are my money!"

"What a pity. If you had been more obedient, and the mine hadn't collapsed, we wouldn't have had to exchange your heads for money; we could have just exchanged people for money directly..."

"Five hundred taels of silver per person, but only five taels for a head!"

Xue Baifeng shook his head, looking very regretful.

At this moment, Su Luo had already entered Shuiyun Town. He and Liu Daoyang and the others had disguised themselves slightly and did not appear to have any fierce aura!

On the contrary, Su Luo had a refined and scholarly appearance, looking like a passing scholar.

Upon entering Shuiyun Town, I found it to be filled with a somber atmosphere, quite different from the other towns.

Although the people in the other towns also lived in poverty, at least there were still vendors and laborers on the streets, and all sorts of voices.

The place was eerily silent. When Su Luo and his group arrived, several figures on the street immediately turned their gazes toward them, looking quite wary.

But seeing that Su Luo was unremarkable and didn't seem to be carrying anything, they immediately looked away.

Some people looked at the horse he was leading, a flash of greed crossing their eyes.

Su Luo found this rather laughable.

Logically speaking, given the military presence and security capabilities of Shuiyun Town, the residents should live a more comfortable life...

However, that's clearly not the case!

These troops have instead bred more crimes. The reason is simple: if given enough benefits, they will not only fail to help the people, but will also help the perpetrators commit evil!

Therefore, the population of Shuiyun Town has always been very small.

Some people would rather become refugees than leave Shuiyun Town...

Su Luo entered and immediately headed towards the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce. Just as he approached the entrance, he suddenly stopped.

Not far away, a man rode up on horseback and stopped at the entrance of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

Dozens of guards jogged behind him.

Su Luo frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned and disappeared into the crowd.

……

The entrance to the Shuiyun Town branch of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

Seemingly sensing something, Xue Baifeng looked up at the street, but found nothing.

He raised an eyebrow, withdrew his gaze, and entered the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce branch.

Ye Changfeng immediately stepped forward with a broad smile: "General Xue, I've long admired your name!"

"I am Ye Changfeng, and I have just taken over the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce here... General Xue is the number one general under Marquis Sinan, and I, Ye Changfeng, have heard of your name for a long time!"

"After arriving in Shuiyun Town, I wanted to see you, General, but I was busy with some things and didn't have time to go..."

"And this time, we happen to have found a way to make money, so we would like to invite General Xue to come along!"

Xue Baifeng gave Ye Changfeng a deep look.

Those sharp, piercing eyes sent a chill down Ye Changfeng's spine.

In that instant, he even felt as if he were standing on a battlefield, with an enemy about to slash at him!

Ye Changfeng felt a chill run down his spine, but fortunately, he had killed quite a few people during this time, which had strengthened his mental fortitude considerably.

In the past, I probably would have chickened out...

Seeing Ye Changfeng's attitude, Xue Baifeng was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Ye Changfeng would lose his composure after releasing his murderous aura!

Surprisingly, he actually persevered!

Xue Baifeng couldn't help but look at Ye Changfeng with newfound respect. It seemed that the rumors about this third young master of the Ye family being timid and cowardly were probably just rumors, and not necessarily true!

"Hehe, a business that makes a lot of money. It seems that Young Master Ye knows very well that I'm short of money. Well then, I'll have to listen carefully..."

Ye Changfeng smiled and said, "All guests are welcome. Since General Xue is willing to come, I must first present a small gift!"

"General, please take this..."

Ye Changfeng handed over several silver notes.

A look of surprise flashed in Xue Baifeng's eyes. There was actually a limit of ten thousand taels of silver inside!

Could it be that his judgment was wrong, and Ye Changfeng really was just here to discuss business?

Or is it... that this ten thousand taels of silver is meant to lower Xue Baifeng's guard?!

If it's the latter, then Ye Changfeng might be being too generous!

That's ten thousand taels of silver!

Xue Baifeng's lips were slightly dry. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he felt that... Ye Changfeng was indeed quite good!

"Alright, alright, I love talking to someone as clever as Young Master Ye..."

Xue Baifeng smiled and said, "Then let's go inside and have a proper talk!"

That's good, but his plans... haven't been adjusted!

Ye Changfeng could afford to give 10,000 taels of silver as a greeting gift, so he must have a lot of cash on hand. Rather than earning it slowly...

Why doesn't Xue Baifeng make a big profit all at once?!

Anyway, Ye Changfeng is most likely just teaming up with an illegitimate son, Su Luo. My seriousness is already giving these two guys plenty of face...

Especially Su Luo, a useless illegitimate son. Even if he has some opportunities and abilities, he is ultimately not worthy of being mentioned!

Just as Xue Baifeng was thinking this, Su Luo, who was hiding at the entrance of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, saw the two hundred people that Xue Baifeng had arranged coming in a grand procession!

Su Luo's lips twitched slightly, "As expected..."

"Xue Baifeng is quite dangerous. Has he already seen through my plan?!"

"Or is this person just that cautious?!"

Whatever it is, the current situation is somewhat dangerous!

Not only is Ye Changfeng in danger within the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, but Su Luo himself... is also in some danger!

Unless he's willing to abandon the plan... but that's impossible!
