Chapter 1072 The Deal with the Future Heavenly Soul Empress
"Ye Nanxiao, if I want to make a big deal with you, what do I need to give up?"
Princess Vina stepped down from the altar, where she was greeted by Long Aotian, Ye Nanxiao, and others.
Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes slightly; this could be a huge deal.
How huge is it?
It may be related to the Heavenly Soul Emperor, Viges.
Bring Vijays back alive? A huge deal?
Princess Vina, maintaining a faint smile, looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "What price do I need to pay if I want my father to return safely?"
"The Tang Clan doesn't offer mercenary protection services. Princess Vina, why don't you ask the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" Ye Nanxiao said casually.
Princess Vina glanced at Ye Nanxiao, her eyes holding a meaningful look.
She had naturally investigated the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, a super chamber of commerce that spanned three empires. The current president, Li Yuanren, had numerous branches under his command. With strong financial backing, he established a mercenary organization, initially intending to protect the caravans under his name for trading.
Later, for some reason, this mercenary began to provide protection for high-ranking officials and nobles, or to take on commissions from various sects and forces.
It was precisely because of the strong financial support of the Audu Chamber of Commerce that this mercenary organization grew bigger and bigger.
Of course, one very important reason is that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce itself has very advanced soul tool technology, which is second only to Mingde Hall and the Imperial Palace.
However, the current president, Li Yuanren, is said to be a man under General Xu Tianran.
The Tang Clan and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have extensive business dealings.
The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is under Xu Tianran's command, and although the Tang Sect has been promoted to a first-class sect, almost everyone knows that the Tang Sect is backed by Shrek Academy.
Despite their backgrounds, the two companies can still engage in business dealings.
If we were to find the reason behind this, it could only be that Ye Nanxiao was able to do it.
Xu Tianran might know this, but perhaps it is because of the huge profits he can obtain that he temporarily allows the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to continue its business dealings with the outside world and the Tang Clan.
Trading is permitted to continue for the time being, provided there are no threatening consequences.
Princess Vina had her eye on this time period.
She naturally wouldn't reveal the identity of the Heavenly Soul Emperor.
Although news of Vijays's expedition had spread, he had also prepared a great deal of measures.
There were ten doubles dressed in black armor like him, along with special flag signals and military commands.
"You're right, I was just looking for help from the mercenaries hired by the Audu Chamber of Commerce."
Military targets will not be leaked.
Princess Vina did not intend to ask the hunters of the Audu Merchant Guild to protect Viges; she wanted to divert the attention of the Sun Moon Empire and confuse the public.
As long as the purpose isn't too blatant, she believes the mercenaries hired by the Audu Chamber of Commerce will be tempted by the extremely generous reward.
After a moment's thought, Ye Nanxiao roughly guessed what Princess Vina was thinking.
He mentally calculated the possible compensation the former might offer.
"Get ready. I can only pass it on for you. Whether the Aodu Chamber of Commerce agrees or not is beyond my control," Ye Nanxiao said.
Princess Vina nodded with a smile.
For my father's sake, I have no choice but to temporarily compromise with my allies.
Her plan was simple: create chaos and excitement.
The Audu Chamber of Commerce originated in the Sun Moon Empire, so it's unlikely they would undertake a mission to destroy the Sun Moon Empire.
However, if we refine the task and pinpoint it to certain prominent figures, such as the many aristocratic families and sects within the Sun Moon Empire that are restless and fickle, lacking loyalty, then we can identify them.
These things, if you provoke them a little, they'll explode.
An explosion would trigger a chain reaction.
Since the Star Luo Empire has already identified itself as the entity that issued the commission, they probably won't mind too much.
It's no use caring.
After the Heavenly Soul Emperor went to war, the altar was quickly cleaned up.
Princess Vina stood gazing in the direction the army had departed, her eyes slightly red.
Long Aotian stood quietly beside Vina, keeping her company and sharing her sorrow.
Ye Nanxiao and the other three did not go forward to disturb them; it was best for the young couple to resolve their grief themselves.
But they don't want to bother them, while others do.
The first to appear was Prince Witten.
The tall, slender prince with medium-length hair parted in the middle immediately fixed his gaze on Ye Nanxiao.
His intelligence indicated that the most worthwhile person to win over in the Tang Clan was that mysterious and powerful deputy sect leader.
"Greetings, everyone from the Tang Clan. My name is Witten." Witten had done his research and knew that Ye Nanxiao didn't like flamboyant people, so he adopted an approachable demeanor.
Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Witten and, out of courtesy, bowed.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance. Tang Ya then took Jiang Nannan away under some pretext, leaving Bei Bei and Ye Nanxiao behind to draw attention.
Witten's gaze didn't linger on Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan for even a second, even though both women were stunning beauties.
His goal was clear: to take down Ye Nanxiao and the Tang Clan. As long as they became his allies and helped him ascend to the throne, all the beauties in the world would be within his grasp.
Therefore, he distinguishes them very clearly.
"Greetings, Prince Witten. Is there anything I can help you with?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Witten smiled. He had investigated Ye Nanxiao, who disliked beating around the bush, so he went straight to the point, saying, "I'm very interested in the Tang Sect. Could we cooperate?"
Beibei narrowed her eyes slightly. The Tang Sect had already cooperated with Princess Vina and finalized a large number of cooperative projects. To outsiders, the Tang Sect and Princess Vina were basically bound together.
Witten dared to come to the Tang Clan in front of a large number of princes and nobles, clearly intending to put them on the spot.
This left Princess Vina with a lingering resentment.
Ye Nanxiao didn't directly refuse, but instead inquired, "What kind of cooperation does Prince Witten desire?"
The latest novel is first published here!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two other figures.
Vinately and Vicon!
Princess Vina's three biggest troubles have all come together.
Witten quickly said, "I want the Tang Clan to provide me with hidden weapons; my guards need to have their weapons replaced!"
"How many men are in Prince Witten's guard? How many are needed?" Ye Nanxiao took out a small notebook, as if to write it down.
Witten was overjoyed to see this; he hadn't been rejected and was even preparing to write it down. It seemed that this collaboration was going to work out!
Vina! So what if you had the upper hand!
Merchants are driven by profit! What you can give, this prince can give too!
But as the words were about to come out, he hesitated.
The exact number of his personal guards is a secret, and he has more than just his guards under his command.
However, if the number of guards is stated, the secretly trained assassins will not be included. If a number is given that includes all subordinates, even if it is slightly higher, it will expose one's own strength.
The Tang Sect is not entirely united with me at the moment.
Witten's mind raced, and he noticed two figures rapidly approaching out of the corner of his eye.
Without thinking it over, he simply stated the number of his guards.
After all, this is the number that can be verified publicly; at worst, they can secretly transfer the weapons to the assassins.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be in high spirits. What are you talking about?" The fair-skinned, plump Viktor walked over, fanning himself. Beside him stood the tall Venatelli.
"I was just chatting with Vice Sect Leader Ye and Sect Leader Bei." Witten winked at Bei Bei and Ye Nanxiao.
"Really?" Viktor squinted at the man, his face appearing as if it were just two slits.
"Sect Leader Bei, Vice Sect Leader Ye, this prince also wishes to purchase a batch of soul tools from the Tang Sect. Is there any possibility of a discount?"
"One hundred items get a 9.9% discount, five hundred items get an 8.9% discount, and one thousand items get an 8% discount." Ye Nanxiao put on a sly smile and nudged Beibei.
Although Beibei's acting skills weren't as good as Ye Nanxiao's, she had seen it all before, and she wore a smile on her face as well.
Vicon was slightly surprised. He had thought that since Tang Clan belonged to Vina, his request would not be granted. So he decided to use this as an excuse to suppress them as a prince. Therefore, he brought in Vinatley and Vitern, and the three princes joined forces to suppress them.
But unexpectedly, the Tang Clan wanted to accept their order?
What a great thing this is!
It turns out that Vina was only cooperating with the Tang Clan!
Wei Kang's mind worked quickly. Without even blinking, he said directly, "This prince wants to order five thousand pieces! Five thousand of the best soul tools from your Tang Sect! Five thousand of the most offensive and five thousand of the most defensive soul tools!"
"Okay, that's a total of 10,000 soul tools. The price will be calculated later, but the discounts can't be added together. Please understand, this is a small business." Ye Nanxiao wrote down the number 5,000.
"It's alright, I have plenty of money!" Viktor laughed, as his backing and maternal faction were both well-off.
Only with enough money can he acquire enough weapons, and only then will he have enough strength to compete with Vina.
As for Witten and Vinatley, neither of them is as rich as him.
So the two poor guys definitely can't compete with him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Venatley became anxious and immediately said, "I want to place an order too! Ten thousand soul tools! I... I can pay a deposit first!"
Witten was annoyed. He had carefully considered his options before ordering a thousand items, and these two bastards were asking for ten thousand? Where did they come from?
"Vice Sect Leader Ye, Sect Leader Bei, I want to increase the quantity too! I want ten thousand pieces!"
Ye Nanxiao closed his notebook at this moment and said apologetically, "Your Highnesses, I'm truly sorry, but the Tang Clan currently doesn't have enough raw materials. The Sun Moon Empire has blocked our material supply channels, so we are using spare materials, which is exactly a quantity of over 13,000 pieces. What do you think, Your Highnesses?"
"It's alright, it's first come, first served. I can spare 1,000 of my 11,000 pieces to distribute to the two emperors," Witten said, feigning generosity.
