Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Fortunately, the Empress went to handle state affairs, while he left with Donghuang Yiren.

"Give your sister a leg massage."

On the spacious and luxurious beast-drawn carriage, Donghuang Yiren's slender, jade-like legs stretched directly onto Su Liang's knees.

Su Liang could only smile wryly. Last night, his wife had been the one to receive his favors. Judging from the Goddess of War's words, she clearly wanted him to not show favoritism.

After a wry smile, all he could do was give Donghuang Yiren a massage.

"These next few days I will be dealing with the two pillars of the Qianheng Holy Dynasty, and I have a troublesome matter to entrust to you."

While thoroughly enjoying Su Liang's techniques, Donghuang Yiren casually remarked.

"I wonder what Sister Yiren is referring to?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Su Liang's eyes. Even Donghuang Yiren said it was an extremely troublesome matter, so it seemed to be quite complicated.

"We have always cooperated with the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce. The Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce spans thirteen dynasties and has a wealth of resources, including weapons, armor, minerals, elixirs, talismans, array jade slips, horses, and war cavalry."

"Now that the Qianheng Holy Dynasty and the Yellow Spring Ghost Sect have made a move against the Great Qin, the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce is also raising prices on the spot, and the price is rising with the tide."

"The price of all military equipment and other resources has increased from the initial price to three times, then five times, and now it is fifteen times."

"At this critical time, it seems that the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce is determined to take advantage of us."

Although Donghuang Yiren spoke casually, she understood that without a better solution, they would have no choice but to agree, even at fifteen times the price.

After all, the Qianheng Holy Dynasty has now issued a strict order to all parties, forbidding them from providing the slightest assistance to the Great Qin.

Although many chambers of commerce also took the opportunity to make a fortune, they dared not contact the Qin Dynasty at all. Even if they did, the resources they provided were very limited.

At such a time, only audacious individuals like the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce could provide the Qin Dynasty with various military supplies and baggage.

So initially, when the prices at the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce soared to three, five, or even seven or eight times, she could actually accept it.

However, the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce is becoming increasingly greedy, and if it continues like this, it will soon become a bottomless pit.

Therefore, Donghuang Yiren decided to seek another way out.

Now, she spends most of her time dealing with the two powerful figures of the Holy Dynasty. Neither of them are ordinary people, and if there is the slightest mistake, the Great Qin will be in grave danger.

Therefore, this arduous task could only be entrusted to Su Liang.

"it is good."

After thinking for a moment, Su Liang agreed.

He went to contact the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce to see if there were any other possibilities.

Juxianju is one of the famous buildings in the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

This place is very quiet; it's not a place for pleasure-seeking, but rather a place for proper business.

After leaving Sister Military Goddess, Su Liang was invited here.

The person who invited him was none other than Xia Chunqiu, the president of the Chunqiu Chamber of Commerce.

When Xia Chunqiu met Su Liang, he showed no politeness whatsoever, simply sitting in his original seat and nodding.

Su Liang didn't mind and simply sat down casually.

"Lord Su Liang, I wonder what your country's opinion is on the conditions offered by our Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce?"

"You should know that at times like these, only our Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce can provide your country with everything you need."

"Fifteen times the price is not low, but what you are buying is not goods, but hope, the hope of the Great Qin!"

"Lord Su Liang, do you think the chances of buying Great Qin at fifteen times the price are too high?"

Xia Chunqiu then used a deceptive tactic, directly misleading the audience.

"Hahaha……"

Unexpectedly, Su Liang suddenly laughed after he finished speaking.

"President Xia, you're mistaken. What I'm buying isn't the hope of the Great Qin, but the hope of the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce."

"The Qianheng Holy Dynasty is turning a blind eye now, hoping that Chairman Xia will interfere and drag down the Great Qin."

"But, once the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; once the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked. What reason does Emperor Qianheng have to let you go?"

Chapter 655 I have nothing much, except wings...

Xia Chunqiu's expression turned extremely ugly, because Su Liang was absolutely right!

The reason why Emperor Qianheng is not punishing him now is not because he is so special, but because he is useful to Emperor Qianheng.

Even if he doesn't provide the Qin Dynasty with any supplies, the Qin Dynasty will find other solutions.

If he were to provide supplies to the Qin Dynasty, that would be a completely different story.

He can raise prices at will and drag the Qin Dynasty down.

In the end, if he stops providing supplies, the Qin Dynasty may cease to function altogether.

However, what Su Liang just said is absolutely not to be ignored.

Emperor Qianheng has issued a clear order forbidding anyone from providing supplies to the Qin Dynasty.

Even if he ultimately achieves merit, Emperor Qianheng will still punish him.

The reason is simple: the Qianheng Holy Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty must have suffered heavy losses in their battle.

As he continuously provided supplies to the Qin Dynasty, he was bound to be resented by some high-ranking officials of the Qianheng Holy Dynasty.

In the end, Emperor Qianheng could kill him on any pretext.

Before he arrived, Xia Chunqiu was in high spirits, but now, his face looked extremely ugly.

Su Liang has repeatedly shaken the world with his might. Originally thought to be a rough and uncouth man, who would have thought that he would have such insight and vision?

"Lord Su Liang, our World Commerce Association is willing to provide all resources to Great Qin at 90% of the original price!"

At this time, the young lady of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce whom Su Liang had met at the Tianchi Spirit Spring was nowhere to be found.

Then, it appeared not far away.

She seemed to have heard about the Qin Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce, and at this time, she actually took the initiative to come to Qin to find Su Liang.

"It's you."

Su Liang was taken aback. Back when he was at the Heavenly Pool Spirit Spring, he had casually saved this group of people. At the time, he knew that they were cultivators from the World Commerce Association.

Su Liang never expected that the good karma he had built up back then would have such an effect now.

When the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce was raising prices arbitrarily, intending to fleece the Qin Dynasty at fifteen times the original price, the World Chamber of Commerce was surprisingly willing to provide the Qin Dynasty with everything it needed at 90% of the original price.

"you!"

Xia Chunqiu was furious at this moment, as he was already in a difficult situation.

He had just thought of giving the Qin Dynasty a good beating, so that he could contribute more to the Qianheng Holy Dynasty's conquest of the Qin Dynasty.

At the same time, he used the wealth obtained from the Qin Dynasty to befriend most of the powerful and influential figures of the Qianheng Holy Dynasty.

This way, he might not gain much benefit, but he would still make a lot of money, be safe from harm, and get to know many powerful figures in the Qin Dynasty.

However, Xia Chunqiu could never have imagined that at such a time, the young lady of the World Chamber of Commerce would actually interfere!

"Does the World Chamber of Commerce really intend to become enemies with the Spring and Autumn Chamber of Commerce?"

Xia Chunqiu spoke with a threatening tone, fueled by his anger.

As long as he is connected to the Qin Dynasty, he still has a chance to live. But once that connection is severed, he will inevitably suffer the consequences of his actions!

"Hahaha……"

After Xia Chunqiu spoke, Su Liang slowly stood up and then burst into laughter.

A moment later, the overwhelming divine emperor's might emanating from him enveloped Xia Chunqiu.

"President Xia, considering your past contributions to the Great Qin, I will not make things difficult for you today."

"However, from this day forward, the World Chamber of Commerce is a friend of Great Qin, and a friend of mine, Su Liang. I hope you will watch your words!"

Su Liang's voice was very calm, but it was precisely this calmness that made Xia Chunqiu feel extremely apprehensive.

At this moment, when he faced Su Liang, for some reason, he felt a sense of insignificance, like an ant looking up at a god in the heavens.

At this moment, Xia Chunqiu no longer displayed any of his commanding presence or charismatic manner.

At that moment, he seemed to have become a clown.

Especially when the young lady of the World Chamber of Commerce placed numerous storage rings filled with various supplies in front of Su Liang, Xia Chunqu felt as if she were being slapped repeatedly in the face.

He used to make things difficult for the Qin Dynasty, but now the Qin Dynasty has no use for him at all.

If Su Liang hadn't been mindful of their past relationship, he might have slapped him to death by now.

Amidst blushing and embarrassment, Xia Chunqiu slunk away.

After Su Liang secured the supplies from the World Commerce Association, the Empress was overjoyed, and the God of War also breathed a long sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, "an army marches on its stomach," and various supplies and provisions are undoubtedly of paramount importance in war between two countries.

Ample resources and supplies not only stabilize morale but also enable a protracted struggle against the Qianheng Holy Dynasty and the Yellow Spring Ghost Sect.

However, neither the Empress nor the God of War expected that the supplies transported by the World Merchants Association were only the first batch.

Soon, Huangya also transported a large number of various resources from the Nine Netherworld.

When the Empress received this batch of supplies, she was overjoyed. The more resources and supplies they had, the more confident they would be and the greater their hopes would be!

However, after looking at the signatures on these jade slips, the Empress was completely distraught!

……

"Having heard that my husband's homeland is suffering from the ravages of war and is lacking in resources, I am deeply worried. Therefore, I have gathered a number of magical artifacts, magic treasures, talismans, formations, monster eggs, and spirit stones to help my husband Su Liang resist foreign enemies. Your beloved wife, Jiutian Xuanfeng Huangya, respectfully submits this."

As more and more supplies were delivered, so did the number of letters like these.

These resources were all donated by numerous women.

What's even more despicable is that many of them refer to themselves as wives or concubines!

The smile on the Empress's face vanished at that moment.

“Brother Su Liang, Lian’er and Mother miss you very much, especially Mother, who often calls your name in her dreams.”
