Chapter 265.1
Feng Shao, the only lucky person to leave after the Qiankun Palace appeared in the world, naturally attracted the attention of various forces. Feng Shao himself had a force called “Wuling City” and was supported by Yunjian Pavilion, so the super forces would not break the rules they set to find Feng Shao.
But they really wanted to know what happened in Qiankun Palace.
So what should they do?
Simple! Just encourage the small forces to go and find trouble!
Some of the small forces that were deceived were completely unaware that they were being used as pawns and instead took on the task with great enthusiasm. In their view, with the support of the large sect and forces, they would charge ahead and share the profits in proportion afterward, which was a win-win deal.
Although Wuling City was a new force, it had some strength after all, and it had the support of Yunjian Pavilion behind it. Several small forces were not qualified to compete with Feng Shao. So these small forces gathered together privately and held a meeting. After some discussion, they decided to work together to bite off a piece of meat from Wuling City.
The first person to discover that something was wrong was Dai Zhixin.
After taking over the management of Wuling City, Dai Zhixin managed most of the affairs in an orderly manner and promoted cooperation with many forces. Most of these forces were small forces. After all, small forces had little influence and were more likely to get benefits when negotiating cooperation. Although these small forces did not have much to offer, if they were all added together, the effect would be extraordinary.
For example, this small faction has a relatively rare mineral, that small faction produces a relatively rare spiritual beast, and there is another small faction that is not rich in minerals or spiritual beasts but is “rich” in talents…
These are all resources!One resource is not too little, three resources are not too many. As long as they have the resources others lack, cooperation can be discussed!
During that time, many small forces and families in Dongzhou saw the business opportunities from Wuling City and came to discuss cooperation. Under Dai Zhixin’s hand, dozens of cooperations were reached, and countless resources flowed into Wuling City like rivers flowing into the sea.
Now that resource circulation has basically taken shape, Wuling City itself has gradually become an important resource transfer station. The prosperous business not only brought a huge amount of money but also attracted a large number of people, making Wuling City even stronger.
Originally, according to Dai Zhixin’s plan, Wuling City would be able to control these resource channels in one year and combine with the Wuling City Chamber of Commerce to become the leading large chamber of commerce in Dongzhou. Then, with the channels of Linglong Pavilion, Wuling City could quickly open up the entire Dongzhou market and spread its reach throughout Dongzhou.
The idea was good and the plan was reasonable, but Dai Zhixin did not expect that an accident would happen.
First, the three caravans that were supposed to arrive this month all canceled their trips, and the other party explained this as various “force majeure factors.” Some said there was a flood in the area, some said there was a famine in the area, and some said the head of the family was busy marrying his seventeenth concubine…
Dai Zhixin’s face suddenly turned dark. If they were going to make up a lie, could they please make it more reliable?
Dai Zhixin’s first thought was that these guys might feel that they had received too little benefit and wanted to renegotiate. However, Dai Zhixin did not intend to indulge them and was going to report directly to Feng Shao and join forces with Yunjian Pavilion to ban them.
The resources they produce are indeed very good, but it is not to the point where they are indispensable. Since they are so shameless, then they can’t blame her for being ruthless.
But before Dai Zhixin could report the matter, new circumstances arose.
Five caravans belonging to Wuling City were robbed. This was not a strange thing in itself, but what was strange was that there were no robberies in the past month, but this time there were five robberies at once. Moreover, the locations of these five robberies were all different, and the farthest one was 3,000 miles apart. With such a long distance, it was obviously impossible for it to be a random incident. It could only be organized and premeditated.
But Dai Zhixin couldn’t figure it out. What was the intention of the person who did this? Although the goods carried by the five caravans were valuable, they wouldn’t risk retaliation from Wuling City and Yunjian Pavilion, right?
After thinking for a long time, Dai Zhixin finally thought of a possibility: test!
Someone is testing Wuling City’s attitude!
It was not surprising that someone was testing Wuling City, but Dai Zhixin could not figure out what they were trying to test. Was it to test Wuling City’s heritage? Wuling City’s military strength? Or Wuling City’s style of doing things?
Of course, there is another possibility, that they want to test Yunjian Pavilion by testing Wuling City.
Dai Zhixin couldn’t come up with a conclusion, so she had to report these two things to Feng Shao.
