"Brother Wenhe, are you aware of the current situation of the Dantian Merchant Alliance?"
Yao Guangxiao's voice was deep, as if every word contained boundless power.
Jia Xu nodded. Now, under the full development of Su Ye and Jia Xu, the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) within the Great Qian territory has spread throughout the country and is known to everyone.
As one of their targets, Dantian Business Alliance was naturally something he had been paying close attention to.
"I would like to request Wenhe to utilize the power of the Luowang to gather the lower-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance who have already pledged allegiance to Your Highness."
"Use them to tear a piece of flesh from the Dantian Merchant Alliance."
Yao Guangxiao's gaze was piercing, and the prayer beads in his hand turned slightly.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and twirled the teacup in his hand.
He knew Yao Guangxiao's intention in doing this; it was nothing more than to demonstrate the strength of the Cangzhou army to the various forces in Hengzhou by attacking the Dantian Merchant Alliance.
This will also help Su Ye secure more resources and support.
"Don't worry, Sidao, I will mobilize the full power of the Luo Wang."
"As for the lower-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance who have already pledged allegiance to Your Highness, they are waiting for the opportunity to serve you."
He nodded slightly, a small gesture that conveyed a sense of composure.
He slowly put down his teacup, the slight clinking sound particularly clear in the quiet study, like the prelude to an impending action.
Yao Guangxiao's move was not only aimed at striking down the Dantian Business Alliance, but also at setting up a much larger strategic plan.
This action will not only demonstrate the strength of the Cangzhou army and deter various forces in Hengzhou and even the entire Daqian, but also help our lord gain more resources and allies, laying a solid foundation for future great undertakings.
Jia Xu was naturally willing to fully cooperate with such a good thing; wasn't that what he came to Hengzhou for?
"Brother Wenhe, this matter is of utmost importance and requires careful consideration."
"Although the Dantian Business Alliance is not monolithic, its internal forces are complex and intertwined. If we are not careful, we may alert the enemy."
Yao Guangxiao's voice slowly rang out, but it did not escape his worry.
After working together to do bad things over this period of time, he had full trust in Jia Xu's abilities.
"Si Dao is overthinking it. Xu has his own plans, his network is extensive, and his information network is well-informed, enough to strike precisely and catch the Dan Tian Merchant Alliance off guard."
"Moreover, we hold some of their most crucial pieces, enough to throw them into internal chaos and leave them unable to help themselves."
Jia Xu smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
At this point, Jia Xu stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and gently stroked an ancient book, seemingly deep in thought.
"Mr. Yao, I will do my utmost in this matter, not only for His Highness's great cause, but also for the value of the plans that Xu, Wenruo, Fengxiao and others have painstakingly made during this period."
The Dantian Merchant Alliance is nothing more than a stumbling block on our path; I will personally remove it for my lord later.
A moment later, he turned around and looked at Yao Guangxiao with a meaningful gaze.
Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother Wenhe, with you here, I have no worries."
"Once this is accomplished, the reputation of the Cangzhou army will resound throughout the Great Qian Dynasty, and our lord will have no more worries in Hengzhou!"
He stood up and stood side by side with Jia Xu, their shadows elongated in the candlelight.
Jia Xu smiled slightly, said nothing more, and simply patted Yao Guangxiao's shoulder gently, everything understood without words.
The two exchanged a smile; their tacit understanding from doing bad things together for so long meant they didn't need to say anything more.
Everything is understood without words!
In the days that followed, Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu, like two invisible weavers, secretly plotted and planned, and a covert operation against the Dantian Merchant Alliance was quietly launched.
This war, though silent, was more brutal than any sword fight, because it directly concerned the life and death of the forces and the future direction of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Luo Wang, an intelligence and operational network established by Su Ye, Jia Xu, and others, is now unfolding like an invisible giant net, quietly ensnaring the lower-level forces of the Dan Tian Merchant Alliance who have already pledged allegiance to Su Ye.
These forces, whether out of admiration for the military might of the Cangzhou Army or dissatisfaction with the higher-ups of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, responded to the call and became the vanguard in this silent war.
Yao Guangxiao directly targeted the lifeblood of the Dantian Merchant Alliance—those unique pills and formulas that were unparalleled in the world.
These elixir formulas are the culmination of the Dantian Business Alliance's years of hard work. Each one contains the wisdom and sweat of countless alchemists, and its value is immeasurable.
Yao Guangxiao knew that as long as he mastered these pill formulas, he would undoubtedly have taken a piece of the Dantian Business Alliance's heart and throat, causing it to lose its unique competitive advantage in the pill market.
Together with Jia Xu, they mobilized the most elite forces in the Luo Wang organization, silently infiltrating every corner of the Dan Tian Business Alliance like ghosts in the night.
Those caught in this web either disguise themselves as merchants, using large sums of money to lure people in; or they masquerade as scholars, using academic exchanges as a pretext to steal secrets.
Even worse, some exploit the internal conflicts and weaknesses of the business alliance, using threats and intimidation to force some weak-willed individuals to betray it.
In this silent struggle, the Dantian Business Alliance gradually fell into an unprecedented state of panic.
Alchemists, these wise men who were usually immersed in the aroma of medicine and the fire of the furnace, suddenly discovered that their masterpieces, those priceless elixir formulas, had been swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind and fallen into the hands of outsiders.
Anger and fear mingled within him, yet he felt powerless to change the situation due to the other party's skillful methods and secretive actions.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Our Dantian Merchant Alliance has always been heavily guarded, how could this be...?"
An elderly alchemy master, holding a copy of the pill formula he had personally copied, asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
"Life is unpredictable, and people's hearts are hard to fathom."
"Although we are surrounded by mountains of gold and silver, we cannot resist the greed of human nature. Moreover, the other side is obviously well-prepared."
A younger alchemist standing nearby shook his head with a wry smile.
"Alas, these pill formulas are not only the culmination of our hard work, but also the foundation of the Merchant Alliance!"
"If it leaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable."
The old alchemist was heartbroken.
"It's no use talking about this now. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible. At the very least, we must protect the remaining pill formulas and prevent them from falling into enemy hands again."
The young alchemist's face was somewhat bitter. He could roughly guess which force had made the move, but what good was that?
Given the current overwhelming power of the Cangzhou army, there is nothing one can do but follow orders.
Meanwhile, Jia Xu was not idle either. He knew that the pill formula alone was not enough to completely destroy the Dantian Merchant Alliance.
Therefore, he began to turn his attention to those lone alchemists in the Dantian Merchant Alliance who were not directly under the leadership of the higher-ups.
