Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 125 Like

Yuwen Chan's black eyes were as dark as ink, and they also revealed a fierce and sinister light. The scar on his face made him look even more ferocious.

He looked down at Wei Gongming from his high vantage point, like a fierce bear eyeing a wolf.

"who are you?"

“I can be Your Highness’s friend.”

Wei Gongming took out the prepared blueprints and handed them to him, saying, "To show my sincerity, I can respectfully present a map of the rich border region of the Great Qi and the celestial phenomena of the future Meng Kingdom. These were personally measured by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and are absolutely true."

"But before we can reach a cooperation agreement with Your Highness, I can only give you half of the painting. The other half requires you to do something for me. You can take a look at it first, and then we can discuss it in detail!"

Wei Gongming deliberated for a long time before deciding to expose the Liu family's conspiracy.

In fact, he had no evidence that Liu Yuechu had set a trap for the Meng Kingdom. He blurted it out as soon as he saw Yuwen Chan, regardless of whether Yuwen Chan believed him or not, as long as he could create a crack in the relationship between him and the Liu family.

Yuwen Chan hesitated for a moment, then took the blueprint from his hand.

Upon seeing the contents, his anger flared up again. "You people of Great Qi are truly despicable! You always try to negotiate everything! I have already made it very clear that I will not participate in the struggle for the throne of Great Qi. You still want to use me as a target? How utterly despicable!"

He tightened his grip and tore the things Wei Gongming had offered to him to shreds.

Wei Gongming was shocked and didn't understand what he meant!

"Listen to me, this has absolutely nothing to do with the struggle between the princes. It's just that I personally want to cooperate with Your Highness. If you're willing to agree, please listen to my details. I have a lot more information to tell you..."

With a "whoosh," Yuwen Chan's long sword was drawn and held directly against Wei Gongming's neck.

"I don't know who you are, but if you dare to say another word about Liu Yuechu, I will kill you and make you my brother's funerary offering!"

Wei Gongming held his breath, daring not to speak again. He was utterly bewildered as to why Yuwen Chan trusted Liu Yuechu so blindly!

The things he gave were not ordinary; they could help Yuwen Chan to march and fight more easily, and lead the Mongol forces to relocate to prosperous lands!

With such great sincerity, how could he not appreciate it?

Is he even able to understand how important the content of that picture is?

Wei Gongming even began to question Yuwen Chan's abilities!

Yuwen Chan certainly knew how important those things were. The key was that he already had them, and the contents were more comprehensive because they were given to him by Liu Yuechu before he left the Liu residence!

Liu Yuechu not only sent him a map of the border region, but also a lot of medicine for his injuries. She even chose an escape route for him if he encountered misfortune on his way back to Mongolia!

She also designated several locations for providing food and supplies, and he chose the locations.

This was an agreement between him and her, and no third person knew about it.

He was certain that she wasn't deliberately setting a trap; she was genuinely worried about his safety and willing to help him seize the position of sect leader.

And this person in front of him, appearing out of nowhere, even trying to sow discord between him and Liu Yuechu? If he didn't want to cause trouble in Daqi, he would have killed this fool with a single blow!

"Your Highness, time is of the essence. We need to rest before continuing our journey." The special envoy did not want any further accidents to occur, as the losses from this trip had already been enormous!

Yuwen Chan snorted coldly, his long sword whistling as it went back into its sheath. "Tie this man up, then kill his horse. We'll let him go after we leave!"

"Yes!"

Before Wei Gongming could utter another word, his mouth was gagged. Even if he had some skill, he couldn't withstand the combined efforts of several Mongol guards, who quickly bound him like a dumpling.

He was only completely untied after the Mongolian contingent departed.

"Why? Why can he trust Liu Yuechu but not me?! Am I not even as good as a woman? I should be the better partner he should choose!"

With his horse gone and all his money confiscated, he had no choice but to walk back to the capital...

Wei Gongming's question was also something the Mongol envoy couldn't understand: why did Yuwen Chan trust Lady Liu so much? This was completely out of character for him.

He was a straightforward person who couldn't keep things to himself, and asked directly, "...If what that person said is true, Madam Liu is in great danger! The death of the eldest prince remains a mystery!"

He didn't believe it at all; it was just a scapegoat that the people of Qi deliberately found to avoid trouble.

Yuwen Chan knew, of course, that he was a scapegoat, because the idea came from Yuan Cuo.

As for whether Liu Yuechu was the one who killed his older brother?

"Do you think I care?" Yuwen Chan left only these few words.

The envoy's body trembled. Could it be that the little prince had long harbored the intention to kill the eldest prince? If so, the little prince had been hiding it far too well!

Yuwen Chan revealed his ambitious and sharp gaze for the first time, "She can rely on people's greed to stir up trouble in the Meng Kingdom, and I can seize the throne from the chaos."

"No matter how you look at it, she is my benefactor."

"Who wouldn't like such a smart woman?"

The death of Yuwen Chen is merely the beginning of the power struggle...

At this time, Liu Yuechu had been summoned to the palace to discuss trade with the Mongol Kingdom with the deputy envoy Tuoba Yun and several officials and merchants.

After all, with Yuwen Chan backing her up in front of everyone, when Liu Yuechu reappeared, the heads of the official and merchant families no longer looked at her with disdain.

Ultimately, everyone's in it for the money.

Let's just discuss how to make money from business in Mongolia.

Before Liu Yuechu arrived, she had already done the math. She laid out the purchase prices for cotton, linen, and medicine, which immediately made the heads of the families grit their teeth.

"This price is ridiculously low, it's outrageous! Add in the shipping costs, and we're losing money no matter what!"

"Transporting medicinal herbs is even more expensive and requires them to be tightly wrapped. Otherwise, if they get moldy in the rain during the journey, they will all be ruined."

"Cotton and linen are also expensive to transport, so the price is extremely high. The price that Lady Liu offered is too low. This is not a transaction, it's charity."

……

The crowd was chattering and arguing, but Grandpa Hua didn't dare to say a word and just listened attentively from the side.

Seeing that everyone had stopped arguing, Liu Yuechu offered a perk: "The Liu family will handle the transportation. You won't need to spend a single copper coin. This price only covers the items themselves, not the transportation costs. Moreover, for the furs from Mongolia, you only need to pay 70% of the price when purchasing them from the Liu family, excluding the furs needed for the palace."

"But you all need to give the Liu family some more subsidies. From now on, all your goods transportation will be carried out through the Liu family's horse farm. I wonder if you all agree to my proposal?"

She took a small sip of tea to moisten her throat. "The Liu family has always preferred to make money together with everyone. We have never thought of cutting off anyone's lifeline."

"Since I've profited, naturally you all should also profit..."

"I've already drafted the contract. If you're all willing, let's have Eunuch Hua be our witness and just put your fingerprints on it!"
