"In other words, neither you nor Shang Miaoyin got any of those treasures, and they were all monopolized by Li Changsheng?"

Ye Qingshuang understood that both the confidential documents and the Heart of the Mountain were rare treasures, enough to make strong men above level six fight for them.

Shang Miaoyin did have enough reasons to chase Ye Tianyu to this point.

"Not only that, Li Changsheng also discovered a secret room containing many Chu heritages, which may involve the inheritance of civilization. This is the key to Shang Miaoyin's crazy pursuit."

Ye Tianyu shook his head and sighed. Those treasures that had once passed him by were always snatched away by Li Changsheng.

Looking back now, he always felt that Li Changsheng seemed to be hinting at something, making him unable to tell whether these were opportunities for him or demonstrations against him by the old faction of officials in the court.

"Inheritance of civilization? Doesn't that mean it very likely contains the secret method of how to make Yuanmi?" Ye Qingshuang's eyes widened, many clues were connected in an instant, and all the logic suddenly became clear.

"There must be. That ruins was once the capital of the Chu State. It was where stones were refined into jade and the heart of the mountain was extracted. It was also a place for breeding poisonous insects and training assassins. Some basic techniques of cultivating Yuanmi must naturally be passed on to my subordinates." Ye Qingshuang's analysis made Ye Tianyu feel even more regretful.

He originally thought that he had missed a treasure trove, but now he feels that he might have missed a world.

"Cousin, didn't you notice something unusual?"

Ye Qingshuang stared at Ye Tianyu's distraught appearance, and a trace of sympathy appeared on her beautiful face.

Especially those lively eyes, which revealed pity for the landlord's stupid son.

"What's the matter? What's wrong? Although my skills are not as good as others, I will never be discouraged."

Ye Tianyu mistakenly thought that his cousin Ye Qingshuang was worried about his low mood and thought that he would never recover.

"Cousin, do you still remember how you were convicted? In addition to the red blood vine, Lady Liu of Tai'an City insisted that it was you who gave away the Yuanmi, which made the empress jealous of you and put you in the Heavenly Prison."

Ye Qingshuang rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking that her cousin was really confused. He could obviously find the answer by following the clues, but he chose to look for the problem in himself.

If Shang Miaoyin hadn't come to seek revenge today, the day of revealing the true identity of the man in black would probably be a long way off.

"Yuan Mi, the remains of the Chu Kingdom, are you saying that the Red Blood Vine case and the Tai'an City Yuan Mi case were all conspiracies of Li Changsheng? Did he start suppressing me at that time?"

Ye Tianyu suddenly realized at this moment that it was not that he was stupid, but he had always believed that Li Changsheng was just a pretender who used dandy behavior to cover up his true purpose, so he never suspected that he would frame him, and thus fell into a trap of being in the dark.

"Cousin, have you ever thought about who you are? You are the young master of Huoyun Valley, a foreign power. Whether in the former Chu State or the current Yan State, we have always remained neutral. Li Changsheng was born in the family of an old minister of Yan State. His position is naturally different from yours. Even in the eyes of the court, foreign forces are a hidden danger. How can you empathize with Li Changsheng?"

Ye Qingshuang rubbed his eyebrows, but even though red spots appeared on them, he couldn't get rid of the helplessness in his heart.

"No one told me that the imperial court and the outside forces are in opposition. And I was able to return safely today, thanks to the rescue of several royal elders. Cousin, your statement is obviously wrong."

Ye Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then retorted.

Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang had an even bigger headache. "My cousin is indeed responsible for helping Huoyun Valley and the Yan Kingdom's royal family eliminate barriers, communicate, and reach cooperation. Therefore, the elders will not deliberately teach you to instill hatred against the Yan Kingdom court. However, this may not be correct. In my opinion, if you don't face the truth, you may lead Huoyun Valley into the abyss."

Ye Qingshuang is well aware of the complexity of the imperial court. It is not enough to just be close to the Yan royal family. Ye Tianyu must know the truth.

If it is not made clear today, Ye Tianyu will probably have to pay a huge price to understand this truth in the future.

"Master, cousin, the King of Qin's men have arrived downstairs and want to check on the Master's injuries."

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the subordinate's report.

After learning about this, Ye Tianyu couldn't help but feel confused. Ye Qingshuang had just told him that Fangwai Huoyun Valley was not a transcendent force, but a cancer in the eyes of the court.

But at this moment the King of Qin sent someone to visit him, making it difficult for him to tell who was deceiving him.

"Cousin, it seems that King Qin has no one else to use, and intends to use the power of Fire Cloud Valley to achieve his goal. This is a great opportunity for you."

Ye Qingshuang knew the value of Huoyun Valley and guessed King Qin's intention in an instant.

"What kind of opportunity? Are we going to follow the King of Qin in a rebellion?" Ye Tianyu frowned.

"An opportunity to meet the empress and regain his position in the court." Ye Qingshuang knew that her frank words just now might have hurt Ye Tianyu's sincerity, so she did not discuss it further. After she finished her hint, she left quietly.

"Meet the Empress and expose the crimes of King Qin? Is this my duty as the young master of Huoyun Valley?"

Ye Tianyu pondered for a moment and took out the torn intelligence book from his sleeve.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand the true meaning of "loyalty resembles treachery" and "dissolute playboy", and realized how to achieve his goals through disguise.

……

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, the wind is still cold. Even at noon when the sun is shining brightly, tiny snowflakes still hit people's cheeks, constantly reminding them that survival on this snowy mountain is not easy.

"The types of goods your business alliance carries are rather monotonous. They are either poisonous insects or flashy but impractical items. They are not very practical for our Snow Mountain people."

Under the instructions of the sisters of the Snow Mountain Alliance, the clans communicated frankly and exchanged goods sincerely.

However, even in this context, the goods of the Merchant Alliance still failed to win the favor of the Snow Mountain People.

After all, in terms of gorgeousness and beauty, the indulgences made by Li Changsheng are considered the best in the world; and in terms of practicality, the poisonous insects produced by Li Changsheng are far superior to those of the Chamber of Commerce in terms of cost-effectiveness and convenience.

Therefore, the members of the Chamber of Commerce looked at the Snow Mountain People with suspicion, wondering whether these people lacked taste or whether the Yan State forces led by the Nalan family had already sold out all the high-quality goods, making these people's tastes picky.

"This is the first time the Merchant Alliance has set foot on the grassland, so the goods they carry are naturally limited, and it is inevitable that the variety is single."

The elders of the Snow Mountain Clan rushed out to mediate. The sisters had given them a task to obtain as much goods from the Merchant Alliance as possible in order to maintain a high level of trade atmosphere and transaction share and show their support for the actions of the Queen of Yan.

If the mission is not completed, the Snow Mountain Alliance may fall into unrest and must always be vigilant against possible attacks from the State of Yan.

"I think what the elder of the Snow Mountain Clan said is very true. The single product is not a problem. The key is the high quality and trustworthiness."

The elders of the Black Mountain Clan also stepped forward to mediate and expressed their willingness to accept all of Zhang's goods from Gunzhou.

Especially for the treasure-hunting rats that are poisonous insects, they are willing to exchange them with wolf poison of equivalent value, which shows great sincerity.

Upon seeing this, the chiefs of other snow mountain tribes all understood the alliance's intentions.

They do not buy things from the Merchant Alliance simply because of demand, but rather use transactions to express their political stance.

As a result, the goods in the hands of the members of the Chamber of Commerce were quickly cleared out, but the smiles on their faces became increasingly stiff.

There is a kind of loss that comes from selling goods but losing superiority and dignity.
