Chapter 405 Making a Mistake

"The second prince of Yanlong Kingdom, Lord Jinghai."

He Ping put down the book in his hand, smiled, and said: "So, what is the purpose of this prince of Yanlong Kingdom, who specifically wants to attack our ship..."

"This matter is a little complicated to talk about." Taoist Yunji answered respectfully and explained along the way.

"Regarding the ship hijacking, this Prince Jinghai did not go out to make a special trip to be our enemy. This matter was basically to compete for the position of the leader of the Yanlong Kingdom. Our fleet also coincided with the meeting, and was regarded by this Prince Jinghai as someone who wanted to kill someone with a knife. means."

Taoist Yunji and Yu Buxin seized Lord Jinghai's soul and used the soul-searching method to figure out the cause of the incident from the remnant soul of the second prince of Yanlong Kingdom.

Although the leader of Yanlong Kingdom has three sons, the eldest son, Prince Yanlong, is the eldest son and has always been recognized by the Yanlong Kingdom as the next leader, but he also has two younger sons.

Unlike his first wife, the eldest son Yanlong, who was born to the queen who died in childbirth, these two younger sons, Jinghai and Sanshan, were both born to the king's concubine, Mrs. Zhaoyuan.

King Yanlong doted on Mrs. Zhaoai very much. The lady's background was related to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce among the three major chambers of commerce. With this identity, Mrs. Zhaoai also had a distinguished status and was especially loved by the king.

Under the overwhelming love, the king also doted on the two little princes. When the two little princes grew up, Mrs. Zhaoai also kept whispering beside the king, hoping to change the prince Jinghai among the two little princes to be the heir apparent.

The king of the country was indeed a little moved, but in the court of Yanlong Kingdom, all the civil and military officials tried to persuade the king of the country by saying, "If there is a direct descendant, there will be no direct descendants." The leader of the Yan Long Kingdom could not defeat the Manchu officials, so the matter of changing the title of Crown Prince could only go so far.

However, Mrs. Zhaoai was very dissatisfied with this matter and kept running up and down in it, trying to reverse the situation. Lord Yanlong was also helpless in his heart, but he couldn't take the risk of changing the heir apparent.

Because the eldest son has always been wise and has great popularity in the country, this matter has become a big problem in the heart of the king.

As for Prince Jinghai, he had always been jealous of the prince. He was favored by the king and Mrs. Zhaoai, and often opposed the prince. There was a lot of bad blood between the two of them, and they engaged in many overt and covert fights.

"My lord also knows that the island we found is located within the territorial waters of the Yanlong Kingdom. If you count it carefully, it is also the fiefdom of the Crown Prince Yanlong. Lord Jinghai's plan is to capture our people and sell them to Go to an island stronghold occupied by the Cathay Chamber of Commerce outside this fiefdom.

When the Star Reaching Alliance sends people over in the future, he will secretly reveal the news. Because the matter involves Crown Prince Yan Long and the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, conflicts will inevitably break out among the three parties. "

Taoist Yunji said with a smile: "As long as this is done properly, Crown Prince Yan Long will lose face, and it will also affect the Sinian Chamber of Commerce. You must know that Yan Long Kingdom has a special geographical location, and the three major chambers of commerce are also operating behind the scenes. There were also fights, and Lord Jinghai’s mother, Mrs. Zhaoai, had a background in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, so his trick of ‘killing people with a borrowed knife’ can be said to be one of the best in one fell swoop.”

"It's a good one."

He Ping smiled and said: "This Mr. Jinghai had a good idea. It's a pity that he met us. However, this is also a good reference for us... By the way, he didn't want to sell people to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. I think this can be done this way."

An idea quickly flashed through his mind, and he decided to use Jinghaijun's ideas to do something.

"Chendan Chamber of Commerce, that's fine too."

He touched his chin.

"How many of Jinghai-kun's men are there? I mean, they were captured by you."

If the little prince Jinghaijun dares to intercept two ships, then he must have brought a large number of people and fleets with him. This is the personal armed force of the little prince Jinghaijun. He came out to hijack the ships this time. , there will definitely not be too few manpower.

"Reply to the master."

Hearing this, Yu Buxin said in a solemn voice: "This King Jinghai is really an extraordinary person. There were four large warships accompanying him on this trip. These warships should be the sea-splitting ships of the Yanlong Kingdom Navy. If you look at an ordinary pirate's ship, you don't need to attack it, you can just ram it and knock the opponent's ship into pieces."

"In addition, he privately supports thousands of generals and servants on the ship, as well as hundreds of sailors, and more than 30 to 40 cultivators with strong magical powers. This battle is no small matter. With these four sea-splitting ships, we can With this group of troops, attacking a smaller sea country won’t be a problem.”

Taoist Yunji also added additional explanations.

"Although overseas is a prosperous place, only the prince of Yanlong Kingdom has the financial resources to support such a degree of power."

"Well said."

He Ping nodded slightly and said: "Everyone on the boat, whether they are slaves or ordinary people, will cut off their tongues, use a soldering iron to burn the word "slave" on their foreheads, and then send them to the nearest place outside the territory of Yanlong Kingdom. He was sold as a slave at the branch of the Sinian Chamber of Commerce, Shiye Island."

He is not afraid that these people will cause trouble, and those cultivators do not intend to abolish their cultivation. Anyway, without the cultivation of Taoism, he has driven the demon seed into his mind, and is controlled by him like a puppet, so he is not afraid of these slaves. Jōkai-kun's men rebelled or fled.

"My lord, we are also short of manpower right now. Lord Jinghai still has a group of cultivators. Wouldn't it be a waste to sell them like this?"

Yu Buxin was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry."

However, a sneer appeared on He Ping's face: "You went to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce to dress up as pirates, pretending to rob a large amount of goods, and to rush to take action. Only the Aurora Chamber of Commerce dares to deal with this kind of human trafficking of unknown origin."

"That's true."

Taoist Yunji wholeheartedly agreed.

He knew very well that although the maritime slave trading business had long formed a huge industrial chain, and slaves were strictly managed after being sold, and basically no one dared to investigate, but something happened to one of Jinghaijun's men and they were investigated. If there are any clues, it will inevitably lead to revenge from the Yanlong Kingdom.

Overseas, the Aurora Chamber of Commerce is a truly big force, with god-level masters sitting in charge. Only they have such an appetite to eat this group of people, and no other force would dare to take over at will.

"After the Aurora Chamber of Commerce swallows up these people, I will use the flesh puppet method to disguise myself as Lord Jinghai and go to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce to redeem the people... However, it is also possible that the Aurora Chamber of Commerce will not give face and refuse to send the people back, then The second prince can only take advantage of us once and use the money we paid from selling these slaves to redeem them."

He Ping smiled.

"Next, after the second prince returns with his men and horses, both men and ships will disappear near the waters under the jurisdiction of Crown Prince Yan Long. Then things will become simple."

Taoist Yunji and Yu Buxin looked at each other with a little surprise on their faces. They both felt deeply that their master's plan was really powerful.

"In this way, the Yanlong Kingdom and the Sinian Chamber of Commerce will completely confront each other. The Lord intends to take this opportunity to cause the two forces to collide with each other at the same time, so as to fish in troubled waters. This method is really sophisticated!"

Taoist Yunji made some calculations and felt that this plan was almost impeccable.

"This plan is very vicious, because the troubled Lord Jinghai also involves the territory managed by Crown Prince Yan Long, and Yan Long Kingdom cannot ignore it... On the other hand, the Aurora Chamber of Commerce also suffered a heavy loss. With their domineering character, We won’t be too soft on the Yanlong Kingdom. Even if the Cathay Chamber of Commerce retreats and gives in, conflicts will break out between Yanlong Kingdom’s Lady Zhaoai and the Crown Prince, causing domestic turmoil.”

"Anyway, as long as this plan is implemented properly, no matter what, we can get a lot of benefits from it this time..."

Yu Buxin also looked solemn when he heard this.

"Moreover, as long as it is done well, it will be seamless. Even our Star Reaching Alliance will silently eliminate traces of it and will not attract any suspicion."

"This time, we're going to eat more than we can eat. Yun Ji, you can send people to the territory of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce as soon as you're ready."

He Ping said with a smile.

"This is only the first step of our overseas plan. The next step is to swallow up the entire Yanlong Kingdom."

…

Stone Coconut Island. An island covered with coconut trees occupied by the Sinian Chamber of Commerce. This small island is located outside the huge sea area controlled by Yanlong Kingdom. It is a transfer station for the slave trade controlled by the Sinian Chamber of Commerce.

"You guys at the Aurora Chamber of Commerce are really bullying customers..."

A yellow-robed Taoist had a cold voice.

"The 'goods' I brought this time are all top-quality goods. The sailors on the ship are all experienced. Each of them has been at sea for ten years. There are also many trained hands who are good at fighting. , there are over a thousand of them, the most important thing is the forty cultivators, their cultivation is not weak, so you should pay this price for such a high-quality batch of 'goods'."

On Shiye Island, the person in charge of receiving goods was a fat Sudra businessman. While picking at his fingernails in boredom, the businessman said casually: "Your goods are good, but in terms of their origin, you are Tell me where it was caught from..."

This businessman of the Sudra tribe is the second-in-command on Shiye Island. Although he has no advanced cultivation, he has a high status in the clan. As for the person who actually manages Shiye Island, he is one of the five sect commanders of the Sudra tribe. General Vyasa.

The five great sect commanders of the Sudra clan are all, without exception, masters of Taoism. These five powerful Taoists have been traveling overseas for many years, and each of them has extraordinary strength, but Nanu Zhenyu is the most famous among them.

Vyasa is not famous, but he is a veteran Taoist master. He became famous a hundred years earlier than Nanu Zhenyu. In terms of personal talents, he may not be as good as Nanu Zhenyu, but he has a deep foundation and his magical power may not be inferior. Yu Nanu Zhenyu.

"Are you, the Cathay Chamber of Commerce, still worried about where you caught people from?"

The old man in yellow laughed.

"Besides, these people are all pirates. They wanted to rob our merchant ships, but they were captured by us instead. We, Bao Changhong, have been doing business at sea for decades. We have always been innocent and have never done anything dirty. You guys If we don’t accept this batch of people, forget it and send it to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. I don’t believe this batch of goods will not be sold!”

The Taoist priest in yellow was obviously angry. He was about to turn around and leave. The businessman in charge of the Sudra tribe rolled his eyes a few times and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.

"Wait a minute."

"Why, do you have any other advice?"

The tone of the old man in yellow was not polite at all.

"Friends, I'm not questioning you," the steward sighed: "The group of people on Heimen Island have been making a lot of noise recently. Everyone is doing things with caution. You are not familiar old customers. Besides, the people you brought These people really don’t understand, so let’s do this, I can add some more to the price for you, you can see if you can get this amount.”

The steward of the Sudra clan quoted another price. Upon hearing this price, the old man in yellow raised his eyebrows.

"also."

"Then it's a deal."

The businessman in charge sighed in his heart. This is a big deal. According to common sense, these high-quality goods brought by the old man in yellow can be sold at least five times the price he quoted. He didn't expect to get it so easily. .

"By the way, our fleet is still rushing to go to sea, so the money and goods should be cleared as soon as possible..."

The old man in yellow said this, and the businessman in charge couldn't help laughing in his heart, thinking that he was still afraid that the duck in his mouth would fly away, but he didn't expect that the other party was more anxious than himself.

"It's easy to talk about. I'll send someone to check it again. If there are no problems, the payment will be paid immediately."

…

Three hours later, the businessman in charge looked at the ship sailing from the port of Shiye Island to the sea like flying, and said with a smile: "I don't know where these people came from, and they escaped in such a hurry. I’m afraid they’re all reincarnated as a bunch of starving ghosts.”

"Congratulations to Mr. Porosaro. There is a saying in Dayou that 'if it is not open on weekdays, it will last for three years after opening.' Sir, this time you are not open for three years, but for ten years!"

Several dark-skinned Sudra tribesmen came over. They chattered and flattered him in the Sudra tribe's language.

"Cut all this bullshit."

Porosaro chuckled and waved.

"You have been with me for many years, so you should learn to be more shrewd. These Dayou people are born stupid. If I don't handle these idiots and squeeze out the benefits from them, I won't be cheap."

Businessmen of the Sudra tribe have a very bad reputation overseas. They do not like to keep their promises. They will find various reasons to find people to lower prices. They are always resorting to tricks during the transaction process. If they did not have a monopoly overseas, those who came from the south would Not many merchants and sea travelers heading north are willing to deal with these people.

"Hahahahahaha, your Majesty is absolutely right. Dayou people are incredibly stupid. When doing business with us Sudra people, you will always suffer losses." One of the Sudra people said with a smile: "These are also the Dayou people. With good luck, we occupy the Holy Continent of Cathay. If our family were to rule the Central Realm, the national power would be at least a hundred times stronger than the current Great You. Even if we seize the Great Western Night Kingdom and set foot on the northern border, it will not be difficult."

The seven remaining clans called the land of Dayou, that is, the five realms and eight wastelands of the nine states in the Central Realm, "Chinese". This word means vast and boundless land in the language of the Sudra people and even the seven remnants. The Sudra tribe and other surviving tribes living in the ocean have lost their former homeland, and one thing they dream of is to one day gain a huge territory.

In the scriptures passed down by the seven surviving clans for generations, they all claim that the Nine Provinces of Central China are a holy land. Sudra and other surviving clans can only have a chance to revive and rise by seizing the sacred land.

Compared with some overseas islands and sea countries, the vast land ruled by Dayou. The Sudra people and the six remaining clans have always had a religious fascination and a fanatical pursuit of Zhonghuan Jiuzhou. They even even put "Chinese" on the name of the chamber of commerce they established.

At this moment, a Sudra man rushed into the hall in a hurry, and said anxiously to the Porosara: "Sir, something happened. Just now, another ship came to the port, and it was the Yanlong Kingdom. Second Prince Jinghai-kun’s ship, he came here to ask for the robbed men and horses from us.”

"What?"

Porosaro was stunned for a moment. He thought of the Taoist in yellow who was impatient to deliver the goods, and immediately knew that he had made a big mistake.
