It turned out that Emperor Yan was supporting him.
Hehe, the ruler of a country was involved in the slave business.
That was why it was a secret. How could they let others know about this?
“Then, Third Master Zhou…” Li Xiao quickly asked Prince Anyang.
After learning the truth and bringing back the Nangong Army, he did not dare ask the Zhou Trading Company for help.
What he was worried about now was the cooperation between his wife and Third Master Zhou.
Third Master Zhou did not say anything about the chili business because he wanted to wait for the chili products to be ready before claiming credit.
However, when the Nangong Army returned, Third Master Zhou would be right under their noses, and they would discover them sooner or later.
Then, it would be a disaster.
“Young General, don’t be anxious. We don’t have to give up completely on this. “Liang Yu said.
Li Xiao was stunned.
Liang Yu laughed and continued, “we received news before we left the capital that the Zhou and Ji families were once again ostracized.” Before we left, Zhou Ji had already left the capital with his entire family.”
“Our destination is Anyang County.”
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
“The Anyang County’s slavery business has been managed by Zhou Ji’s family for many years. It would be very difficult to take it away from them.”
“Moreover, Zhou Ji is the Zhou family’s patriarch, Zhou Xuan’s, brother. Even if Zhou Xuan attacked Zhou Ji, he wouldn’t go too far. Therefore, there was a high chance that the main faction would not remove Zhou Ji’s power in Anyang County.”
“So, it’s not impossible for us to rope in Zhou Ji.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
No wonder Third Master Zhou asked for so many chain stores.
It seemed that their family had been banished from the capital and was coming to Anyang County.
Since the Zhou family’s slave business was Emperor Yan’s, most of the money earned was not theirs.
In addition, the main family did not like them, so the money taken away from them would be more. Hence, the Third Master Zhou’s family was most likely an empty shell that looked glamorous.
“Moreover, with Zhou Ji around, we’ll be safer.” Lin Xiaoyue added.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Prince Anyang’s eyes were filled with interest. Liang Yu also smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue didn’t feel embarrassed for speaking up.
“In Anyang County, Your Highness has the final say. Even if there was no estrangement from the main family, he would still consider You Highness’ proposition.”
“If I were Zhou Ji, 1 would also hug Your Highness’ thighs.”
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Prince Anyang’s thighs.
Prince Anyang’s face stiffened and he lowered his head.
Seeing the change in Li Xiao’s expression, Lin Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly and quickly explained.
“Uh, it was a metaphor.”
“Haha…” Prince Anyang was amused.
This smile instantly eased the awkwardness.
“You are right! If Zhou Ji is smart enough, he would know which side to choose.” He said with a hint of complacency.
Lin Xiaoyue also smiled.
“In that case, I would like to thank Your Highness for the trouble.” She bowed to Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang smiled and glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, then looked at Liang Yu.
Liang Yu then said to Lin Xiaoyue, “it’s not a big problem to rope in Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji’s strength is shrinking now. He could still control Anyang County, but there is a limit to what he could do in other places.”
“It’s fine. Being able to control Anyang County is already a great help to us.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
“The most prosperous county in Anyang Prefecture is Nan’an County. That’s because Nan’an County is located by the long river and is also the hub connecting the north and south of Anyang Prefecture.”
“According to the information 1 received, the Zhou Trading Company in Anyang and the surrounding counties will send the slaves that they couldn’t sell in time to Nan’an County.”
“Nan’an County is located downstream of the river, and it’s the best place to dump slaves from the towns above the river.”
“So, if the Nangong Army could sneak into the Zhou Trading Company as slaves, the probability of reaching Nan’an County would be very high.”
There were many ways to ensure that they were not sold halfway into the journey.
Li Xiao should know this.
Lin Xiaoyue thought as she looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao returned his wife’s gaze and cupped his fists at Prince Anyang..
