"Not only that, the warriors of the Snow Mountain Alliance that we met along the way were all elites among the elite. And from what I have learned, the Snow Mountain Alliance is built on the authority of the gods, and the women of the clans are all believers of the gods. They are protected by the alliance and are spared from the flames of war."

"The Snow Mountain Alliance is mysterious and seems to have the color of the evil cult of the last Chu State. You must be vigilant and don't take it lightly."

In the Chamber of Commerce, those with sharp eyes have already realized that the Snow Mountain Alliance is unusual and its performance is too outstanding. In this grassland where the strong prey on the weak, such a new force will either soar into the sky and illuminate the era, or be short-lived and become an ideal country with only a few records in history.

"You have all traveled all the way from Yan State. It is really rude of the Snow Mountain Clan to fail to welcome you from afar."

The sisters appeared on the snow path in front of the members of the Chamber of Commerce. They were extremely beautiful and charming, with both the beauty of grassland girls and the temperament of the famous Chu family. They instantly attracted the attention of the members of the Chamber of Commerce. They were all surprised. They never thought that there would be such charming girls in such a wild place.

"The Snow Mountain Clan? Are you two the clan leaders of this clan?"

Compared to the younger generation who were mesmerized by the beauty of the two girls, the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce had a deeper insight.

"I am not talented, but I am the clan leader elected by my clan members. The Snow Mountain Clan is also one of the core clans of the Snow Mountain Alliance. We sisters are entrusted by the alliance to come and greet you all."

The sisters spoke in a gentle voice and had affectionate eyes. Unlike the ordinary grassland people who were wary and arrogant, they showed a novel attitude towards the people of Yan State.

"A woman is the clan leader?"

The leader of the Chamber of Commerce was speechless for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously turned to a strong man from the Shang clan.

The strong man frowned slightly and tapped the silver bracelet on his wrist, as if he was having a secret conversation with someone.

"I'd like to trouble you two clan leaders to personally guide us. Our purpose of this trip is to retrieve the person who was taken away by the Snow Mountain Alliance. I wonder if you two clan leaders can help us and return the person?"

Although the tone of the people from the Chamber of Commerce softened, their attitude remained firm.

In view of the strength of the Snow Mountain Alliance and the courtesy of the two clan leaders, as a person who came to sound out the situation, he did not dare to be too rude.

"You must be referring to the steward surnamed Liu. He is quite talented and has been hired by our Snow Mountain Clan as a steward. I'm afraid he is no longer within the reach of the Merchant Alliance."

The sisters stated that Liu Chengwu was no longer a traitor to the Chamber of Commerce, but a member of the Snow Mountain Alliance.

When the Chamber of Commerce brings up this matter, it must be polite enough to the Snow Mountain Alliance.

"Liu Chengwu has become a member of the Snow Mountain Alliance?"

The manager of the Chamber of Commerce was shocked. Liu Chengwu's transformation was so fast that it caught them off guard.

If this news were to get back, it would cause unpredictable consequences, which even Miss Shang would find difficult to suppress.

"You may as well go to the tribe and take a seat to taste the specialties of our snow mountain community. Since you call yourselves members of the business alliance, I believe that the purpose of your visit is to do business. Why don't you talk about business, exchange what you have, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

The sisters acted like patriarchs of a large clan, indicating that Liu Chengwu's affairs were not of concern to the Snow Mountain Alliance.

If the Yan Merchant Alliance was not well-known, the sisters would not have come out in person to receive them.

"Well, then we don't have to be so reserved. Let's quickly thank the two clan leaders."

Although the Chamber of Commerce manager felt bitter, he showed no sign of it and ordered the members to dismount from the deer and accept the hospitality of the Snow Mountain God's believers.

Then, he walked up to the business master and talked to him in a low voice.

"The Snow Mountain Alliance is acting strangely. It is understandable that a woman is the clan leader, but it is hard to predict what will happen next if Liu Chengwu is accepted."

In this icy and snowy environment, the manager was already sweating profusely, revealing his inner anxiety.

"Don't be impatient. The young lady has already prepared a plan and has allowed us to trade with the Snow Mountain Clan. You just need to follow the procedures and perform your duties."

The business expert appeared calm on the surface, but he actually felt helpless.

He foresaw that Liu Chengwu's affair would cause a stir within the Merchant Alliance, and that someone might use this as an excuse to leave the Merchant Alliance and join the Snow Mountain Alliance.

The sisters' move undoubtedly turned the tables and disrupted the merchant's original plan.

Knowing that the other party is an enemy, he still greeted him with a smile.

The merchants originally wanted to spy on the alliance, but unexpectedly the Snow Mountain Alliance targeted its main members instead.

……

Beside the river valley in the north of the Snow Mountain Alliance, a large caravan was resting.

In the big tent in the center, all the shopkeepers of the Chamber of Commerce gathered together, and the second daughter of the merchant family sat in a high seat. The fragrance in the room did not make people relax, but added a bit of seriousness to the atmosphere.

"What do you think of Liu Chengwu being chosen by the top leaders of the Snow Mountain Alliance?"

There was anger in the second young lady's tone, and her words seemed to be frosty, causing the temperature in the entire tent to drop a few degrees.

"The incident with Liu Chengwu may be related to the grassland woman. She claimed to be a slave of the Nalan family and had the family crest on her face. In the eyes of the Yan people, this may be proof of the Nalan family's development of the grassland; and in the eyes of the grassland people, it may be evidence of the expansion of the Yan State."

A mature and steady member of the Chamber of Commerce spoke first. His stance was quite neutral and he did not seem to make any direct comments on the actions of the Snow Mountain Alliance.

"Liu Chengwu is just a small shopkeeper of the Li family caravan, but he has become a manager in the Snow Mountain Alliance. This is quite strange. Is it true that there is such a shortage of people to manage accounts on the grassland?"

Other members of the business alliance have different views on this matter. Their level of expertise is not high enough to analyze the pros and cons from a strategic perspective.

I just felt that Liu Chengwu's promotion was too bizarre, just like a centurion becoming a general overnight.

"Shut up, everyone. Liu Chengwu betrayed the Merchant Alliance to gain wealth and glory. What is there to praise? This matter should be reported to the Empress. The Li family and the Snow Mountain Alliance should be destroyed to enhance the prestige of our Merchant Alliance."

When an extremist speaks out, his purpose is not to make suggestions but to shut up the radicals.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, those radical members cast dissatisfied looks at him, saying that it felt unpleasant to be forcibly gagged.

"So, do you think we should order the Snow Mountain Clan to hand over the traitor?"

The second young lady still had expectations, but not much. She obviously did not expect the situation to develop to this point.

Even the Chamber of Commerce has begun to split into factions, trying to stop each other from speaking out and becoming right-wing in appearance but left-wing in reality.

If we continue to suppress it by force, we will probably end up isolated and helpless.

"Our purpose here is to open up a trade route with the grasslands, not to reshape the order of the grasslands. Therefore, we should first rule out the possibility of using force, and then explore other feasible methods."

The extremist speeches quickly had an impact, causing some people to begin to resist violent means, which was undoubtedly the counter-effect of the second young lady's previous arbitrary behavior.

It is obviously unfair that businesses make profits but let everyone share the consequences.

"I suggest that we provide 30% of the goods for trade with the Snow Mountain Alliance, and use their power to further expand into the heart of the grassland. Once the trade route is opened, with our country's transportation capacity and wealth, this wild land will be easily conquered, right?"

"This proposal is very appropriate. I, Zhang of Gunzhou, am willing to be the pioneer."

"We, Xuzhou Maoshi, are also willing to set an example for the business alliance."

"You may wish to contribute some of your goods. Please provide as much as you can. Otherwise, the increasing backlog of goods at home will become a burden."

Although the second daughter of the merchant family had her face covered by a veil, her eyes grew increasingly cold as she listened to the discussion among the members of the Merchant Alliance below.
