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

"Could it be that Xue Baifeng is more powerful than I thought, and was actually able to see through my plan?!"

"Or is he really that wary?!"

Looking at the figures surrounding the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce branch, Su Luo couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Liu Daoyang, standing behind, asked in a deep voice, "Young Master, what should we do now?"

Su Luo glanced behind him and saw that he had only brought eight people, including Liu Daoyang.

The group of soldiers following behind Xue Baifeng numbered at least two hundred.

If you want to confront them head-on, that's simply impossible.

However, if no corresponding measures are taken, Ye Changfeng may very well be in danger.

Su Luo and Ye Changfeng had a good relationship, and even if they didn't, Su Luo couldn't just watch him fall into danger.

Ye Changfeng is a crucial element in Su Luo's current and future plans.

After a moment's thought, Su Luo said, "We need to take action!"

"But how should we proceed... Here's what we'll do: Liu Daoyang, go to the Marquis of Sinan's personal guard camp and spread a message that Su Xuan is in trouble!"

"Just say that the bandits from Langya Mountain went to find Su Xuan. Take this token and go there to ask Xue Baifeng to send men to attack!"

Su Luo took out Su Xuan's token and handed it to Liu Daoyang.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Although, given Xue Baifeng's family status, he might not really be able to think highly of Marquis Sinan, Su Changsheng..."

Sulo was certain of this.

Su Changsheng was able to become the Marquis of Sinan largely because of the Xue family's assistance.

Xue Baifeng's control of military power and his contributions to Su Changsheng's career were also due to the influence of the First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion.

In reality, the Xue family did not think highly of Su Changsheng.

"But Su Xuan is the First Madam's beloved son. If it's about Su Xuan, Xue Baifeng might not be able to just sit idly by..."

Thinking this, Su Luo told Liu Daoyang to hurry up and do it, while he himself led his men to a high place to watch over the two hundred men that Xue Baifeng had brought.

The appearance of those two hundred people did not elicit any particular reaction from the townspeople; they all ignored it, clearly having become accustomed to it.

Then, one by one, the personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan went into hiding.

However, overall, the entire Shuiyun Town branch of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce was directly organized around it.

With just a command, they can rush out and surround the entire Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

"This is no simple matter..."

Su Luo let out a sigh of relief and made his own preparations. He could only hope that it would be useful!

If Xue Baifeng is just as heartless towards Su Xuan and doesn't care about Su Xuan's life or death, then all these preparations will be completely useless!

Su Luo had no choice but to use all the preparations she had made to confront Xue Baifeng head-on!

However, the total number of people in Shuiyun Town who are currently capable of participating in the battle exceeds four thousand!

Su Luo's side, however, only managed to gather about six or seven hundred people!

With six or seven hundred against four thousand, how could they possibly be a match for Xue Baifeng without using gunpowder?!

……

"Since General Xue has honored me with this honor, then I won't hold back any longer. I know that General Xue must also know what enabled me to rise to power and quickly take control of the Tianyun Merchant Guild in four towns of Feiyun City, right?!"

After Ye Changfeng led Xue Baifeng into the private room, he immediately got straight to the point.

This startled Xue Baifeng slightly. He looked at Ye Changfeng, wondering if he was going to expose Su Luo directly!

At this moment, Ye Changfeng smiled and took out a bag of "heavenly snow": "That's right, it's all thanks to this bag of heavenly snow... or rather, salt!"

"My rapid growth, even to the point of being able to rival my elder brother, is all thanks to this!"

"General Xue, I know you have an extraordinary background. Even the Marquis of Sinan's mansion is not worthy of your attention... Therefore, I intend to cooperate with you!"

"As long as General Xue can help me become the head of the Ye family, I am willing to offer this Heavenly Snow to cooperate with you!"

"You can use your influence to sell this product, and you don't care how much profit you make. I can provide it to General Xue at the lowest possible price!"

Ye Changfeng's incredibly sincere expression made Xue Baifeng feel somewhat dazed.

He picked up a piece of snow from the sky and examined it closely: "This is indeed exceptionally good salt... No wonder you were able to rise so quickly..."

Ye Changfeng wore a faint smile and did not reply.

Xue Baifeng raised his head and stared at Ye Changfeng, saying, "But, did you really invite me here today just to cooperate on a salt trade?"

Ye Changfeng nodded. "What else?!"

"With my abilities, I could sell all of this snow from the sky throughout Feiyun City, that would be the best I could do! But let alone Qingzhou, where my elder brother is!"

"Take this Linshui County as an example, there are three cities like Feiyun City!"

"Even if I could make a fortune by taking advantage of the snow's superiority, I would only be a nouveau riche at best, with no real power to sustain it..."

Ye Changfeng said earnestly, "However, if General Xue is willing to cooperate with me, then the situation is not like this!"

"With General Xue's abilities, let alone Feiyun City, Linshui County, or even the entire Qingzhou... no, outside of Qingzhou, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sell this snow from the sky at a high price!"

"That's why I've come to seek cooperation with General Xue!"

Xue Baifeng remained silent, staring intently at Ye Changfeng.

Was Ye Changfeng really just here to do business with him?!

Could it be that his initial guess was wrong... that Ye Changfeng and Su Luo really weren't in cahoots?!

Or rather... there's some other conspiracy between the two of them!

At that moment, a figure suddenly burst in from outside.

One of the guards of the Marquis of Sinan walked up to Xue Baifeng and said something with a grim expression!

"What?! Something's happened to Xuan'er!"

At this, Xue Baifeng's eyes widened. He looked up at Ye Changfeng, then lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?!"

The guard took out a token and handed it to Xue Baifeng.

Upon seeing the token, Xue Baifeng's expression grew even more grim. "Is the information genuine?!"

The guard whispered, "It's not confirmed yet... but when I saw Young Master Xuan's token, I came to inform the general first!"

Xue Baifeng's mind raced. Could it be that he had really guessed wrong? Did Ye Changfeng have no intention of making any moves against him or Shuiyun Town...?

Instead, Su Luo went directly to find Su Xuan!

Is this an attempt to cause trouble for Su Xuan?!

He sent Ye Changfeng to find him because... he wanted to get his attention?!

It's quite possible that, after all, Su Luo is just an illegitimate child. If he were to say who he most wants to get rid of, it would definitely be Su Xuan...
