Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

Besides, in this vast world, only Daqian has the potential to surpass them in shipbuilding technology.

It is difficult for other countries or forces to be compared with Dongming in these areas.

Well, as long as we avoid creating conflicts with Daqian, there shouldn't be any danger, right?

The worst that could happen is that Daqian's deep-sea shipping industry will develop and take away their market share.

But what’s the harm in earning less?

The world is so big, can Daqian really monopolize all the profits from maritime trade?

"And mother just said that going to Daqian would give us no worries. I disagree. If the Dongming Sect continues to be located overseas and maintains the status quo, Daqian may not care about us or even notice us. But if we move the Dongming Sect to Daqian, then we will be under their watchful eyes. Whether they kill us or plunder us is just a matter of a word. How can this be considered as having no worries? This is like venturing into a sea of ​​fire and swords."

It feels like I'm seeking my own death.

Shan Meixian glanced at her daughter, holding her forehead with a helpless look. "Wanjing, if you can consider this kind of thing, then I can consider it too. If you can't guarantee your own safety, would I deliberately choose a dead end for you?"

Shan Wanjing looked slightly embarrassed and thought to herself that was true.

With my mother's meticulous mind, how could she make such a choice if she was not sure?

But even so, she couldn't help but wonder what made her mother trust Daqian so much? (dbae)

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the letter in Shan Meixian's hand.

During this period of time, my mother often stayed indoors, and it seemed that it was because of this letter. Now the things I suddenly talked to her about are probably related to it, right?

Shan Meixian continued, "And do you think that as long as the Dongming Sect doesn't become an enemy of the Great Qian, it can conduct business peacefully? That won't work. The Great Sui is about to fall into chaos. Do you know why?"

Shan Wanjing was stunned. "I guess it was the cruelty and perverse behavior of the Sui Emperor that forced the people to rebel?"

The Dongming Sect's goods are distributed everywhere, and they are very well-informed. Shan Wanjing naturally knows something about the current situation in the Great Sui Dynasty.

It would be better to say that all major forces had actually predicted this.

The Sui Dynasty is not far from chaos!

So Shan Wanjing didn't find this matter strange.

Shan Meixian shook her head slightly: "According to the original situation, this is indeed possible, but it shouldn't happen so early. The unrest that is about to arise in the Great Sui Dynasty is not from within, but from without."

"Outside?" Shan Wanjing blinked, a little puzzled, but soon calmed down: "Isn't the Daqian that mother is talking about?"

We have talked about this for so long before, so it is inevitable that they are connected.

But as soon as she said this, she felt that this speculation was a bit too absurd, so she denied it herself: "No! Daqian and Dasui are too far away! It's impossible! Could it be... Goguryeo? Or the Turks?"

"If it was Goguryeo or the Turks who caused unrest, do you think Mother would have severed ties with the Sui Dynasty because of them?" Shan Meixian sighed softly. "Let me be frank with you. Daqian was preparing to use military force against the Sui Dynasty, so we had to retreat."

"......" Shan Wanjing widened her eyes slightly and did not speak for a moment.

"Do you find it unbelievable?" Shan Meixian closed her eyes and gently pinched her brow. "At first, Mother didn't quite believe it either, but after several inquiries and continuous verification, it seems that Daqian is indeed making moves to use military force abroad. Whether this matter is true or not, our Dongming Sect must be extremely cautious!"

To be honest, her Dongming Sect naturally couldn't find out any in-depth intelligence information, but she was able to detect clues from some of the clues that were revealed.

After all, we are searching for intelligence with results in mind and there is no need to use overly detailed information to verify it.

"That's why Mother said we might not be able to continue trading with the Great Sui in the future. If Daqian successfully annexed the Great Sui, all of our Dongming Sect's business there would be wiped out. This applies not only to current business dealings, but also to the future."

According to Daqian's consistent style, aristocratic families, powerful families, landlords and wealthy people will definitely be eliminated.

Without these forces, the Dongming Sect would not even have anyone to trade with, so where would its business come from?

"Moreover, if Daqian were to launch a military operation against foreign countries, it would most likely not stop at the Sui Dynasty. By then, other Zhou countries would also be affected..."

Speaking of this, Shan Meixian was in a bad mood.

The Dongming Sect's business in that area accounts for more than 70 to 80 percent of all foreign business. If all of it were wiped out, the Dongming Sect would suffer a serious blow and suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, without these mature and established trade and transaction chains, no matter how rich the Dongming Sect is, how long can it last if it continues to eat up all its wealth?

If they wanted to open up new trade routes, they would either have to look for another place and start all over again, or they would have to seek cooperation with Daqian.

Isn't there no way back?

"Wanjing, do you still think that our Dongming Sect can stay out of this and conduct business peacefully?"

"If I follow what my mother said, it really won't work, but..."

Shan Wanjing frowned tightly. "The Western Regions and the desert separate the Great Sui and the Great Qian. With such a long distance, no matter how powerful the Great Qian army is, it's hard to say whether they can succeed in the expedition. Not to mention annexing the entire Great Sui and affecting the surrounding countries. That's simply impossible!"

Shan Meixian shook her head slightly and said softly, "I can do it."

The voice was not loud, but quite firm.

Looking at Shan Wanjing: "If you can't do it, mother won't expect such a result."

She is not idle.

It is precisely because he knew how powerful Daqian was that he became interested.

I also have to think about the way out.

"..."

Shan Wanjing didn't know how this incredible conclusion was reached, but out of trust in her mother, although she found it unbelievable, she still believed it.

"If that's the case, then my daughter has nothing to say."

In fact, there are still many things that I cannot understand.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 615: Meeting, Disgust, and Closeness...

As soon as the ship docked, two beautiful women in tight-fitting clothes, holding swords, stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Is this Madam Dongming in person?"

Shan Wanjing was impressed by the heroic aura of the two people at the first sight. She cheered secretly and turned her head to look at Shan Meixian: "Mother, who are these two sisters?"

Shan Meixian shook her head slightly, signaling her not to speak, and then stepped forward to return the greeting: "Indeed, two envoys have come. I wonder what brings you here?"

The leader replied, "We are here to welcome the lady by order of the superior."

Shan Meixian's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled gently, "In that case, I'll trouble the two messengers."

After landing, Shan Meixian called a young man over and gently instructed him, "Shang Ming, you take care of this place for now. The transaction with the Maritime Customs can proceed as usual."

"Yes, Madam!" Shang Ming said, but there was some hesitation on his face. He glanced at Shan Wanjing who was looking around a little further away and said, "Madam, is it not appropriate for you and the princess to go alone? Why not bring a team of guards..."

"No need." Shan Meixian said lightly.

If you were in other places, bringing guards would be necessary and useful, but in Daqian, bringing guards is not very meaningful.

One is that the security here is very good and there are very few dangerous situations.

There is no need for guards at all.

The other one is also represented by the two envoys on the opposite side, who are officials from Daqian. With them here, there is no need to do anything unnecessary.

As for whether the danger might come from Daqian...

All I can say is that if this is true, then it makes no difference whether you bring guards or not. The gap in strength is too great and cannot be made up by just having a few more people.

Moreover, Shan Meixian had already made up her mind to bring her daughter here.

After saying that, he glanced at Shang Ming and saw that his face was full of anxiety and worry, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Before, she did think of betrothing her daughter to Shang Ming, not only because of the family power behind him, but also because of his outstanding abilities. He was one of the best among the younger generation of Dongming Sect.

The most important thing is to be sincere to your daughter. This is very important.

If this marriage can really happen, the benefits are self-evident.

Unfortunately, her daughter disagreed, so she had to put it aside.

And now, with Daqian's choice, it is completely impossible.

After signaling Shang Ming to leave, Shan Meixian stepped forward and said a few words to Shan Wanjing, then came to the two messengers and said, "Thank you for your help."

"I dare not! Please!"

The aroma of tea filled the air in the side room.

Kankan smiled brightly, "Senior Sister Shan, we finally meet."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shan Wanjing who was standing beside him and smiled softly, "Is this Wanjing? She's so beautiful, as pretty as Senior Sister."

Shan Wanjing came back to her senses a little, said nothing, and kept her head down.

Knowing that the person in front of him was the successor of the Yinkui Sect, although the other party's current status was very noble, it was impossible to show respect to him.

Because of Shan Meixian, she had no good feelings towards the Yinkui Sect and even hated it.

He turned his head, glanced at his mother, and bit his lip secretly.

No wonder my mother didn't explain the details to me before. It turns out that the Yinkui Sect is involved.

Logically speaking, her mother hated the Yinkui Sect deeply and had always been extremely hostile to it. Not to mention being hostile to it, she also kept her distance from it. Unexpectedly, this time, they took the initiative to contact her.

Shan Wanjing roughly understood why this was the case.

It’s simply that Daqian is too powerful, and for the sake of the future, it has to bow its head.

Perhaps she had something to do with this.

Thinking about this, I feel even more uncomfortable.

But if I were to have an attack, I would dare to do so.

The other party's status is too high. If they are offended and their relationship is broken up, I am afraid that the Dongming Sect will be in disaster in an instant!

Not only that, but it would also implicate his mother, and make all his efforts of enduring humiliation go to waste.

Although Shan Wanjing was extremely unhappy about this, she did not dare to show it at all and could only lower her head and remain silent.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Compared with your divine beauty, my daughter and I are so ugly that we are not worth mentioning." Shan Meixian had a smile on her face. While she remained decent and calm, she also had an obvious sense of alienation.

And how could Kankan not notice the attitudes and emotions of the two people?

I didn't feel offended, but instead sighed inwardly.

Such an attitude is understandable.

In order to win over Bian Bufu, the master had thought of promising Senior Sister Shan to him, and even promised him. However, Senior Sister Shan suffered greatly from this incident and became completely disillusioned with the master. She eventually defected from the Yinkui Sect and went overseas.

In this matter, she actually sided with Senior Sister Shan, believing that what the master did at the time was inappropriate. How could he push his own daughter onto a hot bed like Bian Bufu?

But the master treated her like his own daughter, and this could not be faked, so it was hard to say anything.

Speaking of which, the reason why the master loves her so much may be that he has transferred his guilt towards Senior Sister Shan to her. It is like those who plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade.

If it weren't for the example of Senior Sister Shan, she probably wouldn't have received such great favor from the master.

Lifting the teacup, she took a sip, the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth. Kankan raised her eyes and said with a gentle smile, "Senior Sister Shan should have heard about Bian Bufu's death, right?"

Shan Meixian's expression finally changed, becoming somewhat gloomy. "Junior sister, why are you mentioning this person? What does his life or death have to do with me?"

Shan Wanjing also looked at Kankan with some annoyance.

She knew that her mother had hated this man all her life. The other party obviously knew the reason behind the incident, but still mentioned it, which was clearly a humiliation!

Kanan whispered, "I killed him."

"......" Shan Wanjing's anger suddenly stopped, and she subconsciously looked at her mother.

Shan Meixian was also stunned at this time.

Kankan smiled faintly and continued, "Back then, Bufu had such a dirty mind. I hated him so much that I used a little trick to trick him out and then beat him to death."

Shan Meixian took a deep breath, calming herself down a bit. She looked at Kankan with a touch of familiarity. "My Dongming Sect had heard of this person's death before, but we couldn't confirm its authenticity. Today... thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts..."

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 616: Gains and Losses! Conditions!

"What's there to thank me for?"

Kankan blinked her eyes. "Sister, you are willing to trust me and lead the Dongming Sect to join our Daqian. I should be the one thanking you."

Shan Meixian felt complicated after hearing this.
