s - which was actually better than nothing.All understand each other implicitly, becoming familiar without a trace.Jiang Wang is truly not a social butterfly. With Chong Xuan's recent limelight, if so...A true warrior doesn't seek glorious victories. When a matter first arises, even just a hint of it, they resolve it swiftly and quietly, seemingly effortless. This calmness hides their true skill and prowess.

Compared to being cornered and fighting back, sending Chongxuan Zun to the Ji Xia Academy and using Xu Fang's connections to attack the JUBAO Merchant Guild, Chongxuan's recent responses to Wen Lianmu have impressed Jiang Wang more.

Simply, directly, and effortlessly, things were smoothed over without a ripple.

So Jiang Wang was also quite curious what this fat man had prepared.

“What are you going to do” Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Xuan said with a chuckle, "I'd better not say anything. I'm the kind of person who gets around in circles; you might get dizzy!"

"That's right." Jiang Wang took his hand and said, "I get dizzy easily, so I'm more suited to studying Taoism and practicing swordsmanship! It just so happens that my new sword style isn't quite complete yet. Would you mind sparring with me"

"Well said," Chong Xuan's fleshy face twitched and then forced a smile: "By the way, what were you just asking About my plans, right We are bosom friends, how could I not tell you if you have any doubts!"

He said, changing the subject: "Now the whole of Linzi knows that Wang Yiwu has started to fight me directly. This is the perfect time for me to strike at the Jubi Trading Association!"

Prior to this, when the Eleventh Prince Jiang Wuxi struck once, Chong Xuan immediately ceased his actions. He showed a considerable degree of respect and acted with great caution.

In this close combat with Wang Yiwu, to then turn back and attack the Ju Bao Commercial Association was indeed unexpected.

Even Jiang Wang and he were on the same side, they couldn't help but think: "It was indeed a unexpected move, killing the Ju Bao Merchant Association is also necessary. But is it the most important thing right now Su Xie is pretending to be dead, the entire Ju Bao Merchant Association has fallen silent, and they can't even help Wang Yi Wu. Ignoring them wouldn't be better After taking care of Wang Yi Wu, we can come back later."

“The fear is that after dealing with Wang Yiwu, or being dealt with by Wang Yiwu, the limelight has passed. Su She doesn't need to play dead anymore.” Zhong Xuansheng shook his head: “If I hadn't held onto his lifeline last time and forced him to cower, he would be even harder to deal with than Wen Lianmu.”

Jiang Wang had his own considerations. He didn't simply give up thinking just because Chong Xuan excelled in strategy: "Just like in battle, compared to facing two opponents simultaneously, it's always better to take out one opponent first, then the other. Wang Yi Wu and Su Xie are not easy to deal with, don't be overconfident."

“You’re right. But we face more than just combat, and victory itself isn't the only thing we need to consider, nor is it just about the opponent. We need to see things both on and off stage.”

Chong Xuan Sheng explained: "Do you know who Wen Lianmu is He has been the top general in consecutive five years of military exercises and drills. He is the most famous military strategist among the younger generation these years. His fame in the art of warfare once rivaled that of Chen Zeqing, the first disciple of the God of War."

"Of course, military strategy is not the same as cunning. He may not be as adept in Linzi as he is on the battlefield. I'm not trying to diminish his abilities or inflate my own. But you must understand, someone like this, invited by King Yiwu and meticulously planning against me, wouldn't have considered my counterattack, would they"

“I am getting a lot of messages now, and I see many opportunities every day. But I don't dare to grasp any of them because I don't know which one is his trap. I really don't know until I step into it.”

"But why should I go after him, retaliate against him It's not worth the effort, you understand"

In fact, Chong Xuan had always been very attentive in guiding Jiang Wang in these aspects.

Because he knew very well that Jiang Wang wasn't stupid, she just lacked experience in these areas.

“Competition focuses on two points: weakening the opponent and strengthening oneself. We don't necessarily have to focus only on the former, being petty.” Zheng Xuan Sheng said, “If I swallow the Zhu Bao Merchant Guild in one go, would Wang Yi Wu be able to hold on by himself”

Jiang Wang was persuaded.

When it comes to the same problem, Chongxuan indeed sees farther and deeper than him.

His ability to shake up Chongxuan, who was practically set in stone as the head of the house, is becoming increasingly apparent to everyone, including his acquaintance Jiang Wang.

"Eat...the Treasure Merchant's Guild. How to eat it" Jiang Wang racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

The Ju Bao Merchant Association is, after all, a force of such immense scale that being able to make Su She play dead is already astonishing.

To say that gathering the wealth of Baobao Commercial Guild, the newly formed Desheng Commerce would be far too ambitious – even the Four Seas Alliance couldn’t pull it off. If they could, wouldn't Qing Xi have let go already

ZHONG Xuan Sheng let out a chuckle and said, "I was just exaggerating. Meals are meant to be eaten bite by bite, and things should be done step by step."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He squinted his eyes: "If you want to eat pork, you have to kill the pig first!"

From that day on, news spread like wildfire in Linzi.

Emperor Qi was extremely displeased with the Treasure Merchant Association's early support of the deposed prince and intended to settle accounts.

The text you provided "

" translates to:

The source of this news is unknown, but it is spreading rapidly.

Originally, the Bao Zheng Business Association wanted to lay low and avoid attention by pretending to be dead. However, they were once again dragged into the limelight.

"in the pot of gold"

Su She knelt outside the Qingshi Palace, having run around all day without any success. He then shut himself in the headquarters of the Jubao Merchant Association, not going out the main door nor the secondary door, and started reading books in seclusion.

Let the Four Seas Merchant Alliance and Chong Xuan Sheng crazily suppress the businesses belonging to the Zhu Bao Merchant Guild, watching one shop after another close down or change owners.

The colossal and formidable Treasure Pavilion, during this moment of being carved up, remained eerily silent. It seemed incapable of any resistance whatsoever. The entire process was conducted with absolute stillness, leaving the Treasure Pavilion appearing to "vanish" for a while.

To the point that many people feel dazed—does the Treasure Pavilion Business Alliance even exist anymore

Of course, in the eyes of truly wise people, this was undoubtedly the wisest choice when Emperor Qi's attitude was still unclear.

Transient profits and losses are secondary; the favor of the Emperor is paramount, for it determines the very life and death of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this juncture, to jump about recklessly and act haphazardly would inevitably draw the attention of the Emperor. The consequences then would be unpredictable, both good and bad.

So ostensibly, Su Shea directly shut the door and pretended to be dead, putting on an attitude of being at one's mercy, absolutely loyal and obedient, ready to be disposed of at will.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

As for how many favors were spent behind the scenes to make the name of the Treasure Chamber fade from the Emperor's ears, that remains unknown.

After the Eleventh Prince, Jiang Wuxi, appeared from Mount Yungu to intervene and persuade him, Chong Xuan had already withdrawn his attack. After taking a few bites of flesh, the ruthless Four Seas Merchant Alliance became surprisingly gentle, even their cautious leader, Qing Xi, softened their tone.

Everything went according to Su Shea's plan.

Then, such news suddenly spread. And it spread so quickly, becoming a hot topic throughout Linzi.

“What a ridiculous and laughable joke! How could such crude rumors spread so far” sneered another deputy leader besides Cheng Eleven.

This vice-chairman surnamed Li has a long history. He highly approves of Su Xia's previous judgment and has been enduring this long period of waiting for the right opportunity. He has also truly seen a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, hearing such news at this time felt especially absurd: "If the Emperor truly wanted to settle accounts with the Jù Bǎo Merchant Guild, we wouldn't even be alive now"

Su She tapped the armrest with his finger and said, "We must respond to this matter immediately. We absolutely cannot let people reach a consensus."

"What consensus" Li, the deputy head of the meeting, was unwilling to change their strategy of lying low at this point: "We've endured this for so long, and it's almost over. Are we going to change our strategy so easily now"

"What consensus" Su Sha said coldly, "The Emperor wants to settle accounts with the Treasure Merchant Guild, we're finished."

"What kind of consensus is this This is completely fake, what consensus It's absurd, outrageous! Do we need to care about such a so-called 'consensus'" Li, the deputy head, was almost laughing in anger. He even suspected that Su She had been hit too hard recently and his brain was broken.

Cheng Shiyi didn't really think there was any need to pay attention to these rumors. Even if they were cutting your flesh, you wouldn't say a word, and they are just insulting you verbally That doesn't make sense at all.

But at this time, the two would have differing opinions, and she wouldn't be able to express her true thoughts. She could only play peacemaker on the side: "Dean, what is the meaning of rumors of this level"

“Remember this,” Su Xie said coldly, looking at the two of them. “A wrong consensus is still a consensus.”ecommend.”Then Yin Guan shifted his gaze.Wu Yiyue immediately plastered on a smile: "Greetings, Lord Qin Guangwang!"Only then did he realize that the spirit stone Officer Wang wanted was for communica...
