The King of the Warring States Era - C38
Chen Ling trained with her sword, like a tiger or leopard, the sword congealed frost, the sword aura seemed cold and sharp under the moonlight, he moved her body around, and every move he made was matched with the Star and Moon Sword Technique that the Chen Family used to practice with the sword, and after absorbing the star and moonlight to temper his body, Chen Ling felt that his body seemed to have become a little more ethereal and steady than the day before.
It did not use strength like floating clouds floating in the wind, it danced with light agility, and its body moved like a swallow. When using strength, it was like a meteorite falling to the ground, the technique was strong and heavy, and it far surpassed the boredom and lifelessness of [Power]. There was a type of power that exceeded the limits of one’s own physical strength, and that was [Force].
He immediately sent people to summon Chao Gai, Teng Hu, Shen Zheng, Yang Rui, Hou Bo, Jing Yan, the cavalry army’s Chieftain Liang Jigang, centurion Chen Kui, Du Fei and more than ten other people, to personally pass on to them a set of the family’s . It was also an entrance level sword technique, first there was the setting sun, then there were the stars.

In the camp of the Lady Bai caravan, Bai Ruoxi was sitting in front of a table, holding an account list as she looked through it. Her tent was very big, there was a large screen separating the inner and outer rooms, and outside there were five tables and tables, for the steward, guest official, and family leader to sit down when they came to the business.
Bai Ruoxi looked at it for a long time before he said softly, “After Shang Yang changed his method, the profits of the Lady Bai of Wei Nation are decreasing. Back then, when we were run by Bai Gui, they were able to use agricultural products and cheap silk and lacquer ceramics to sell at a high price, but now, there are Warring States Age s, merchants, and many markets that encourage business. It is very difficult to get such a high profit in this field, even though jewelry is expensive, the profits are thin.
Tao Lin said: “First Miss, I have something that doesn’t feel right. We left from Zhao and hid our tracks, yet we were ambushed at the foot of the Taihang Mountains by one of the three great thieves, Zhan Xiong and his men. With our Lady Bai’s prestige, they usually act without any fear.
With the butler’s reminder, Bai Ruoxi also felt that there were many strange and coincidental aspects to it, how could the news of the route be leaked out? Although Zhan Xiong was a tyrant of his own territory, he did not dare to rashly set his eyes on the Bai Family. One must know that in the six great trading companies, the Lady Bai was considered mediocre, and in the manors outside the Daliang City, there were more than five thousand family generals, guards, servants, maids, as well as swordsmen. At any time, they could pull out an armed unit.
Thinking about it here, Bai Ruoxi suddenly thought of one person. It was her cousin Bai Yeyu, who was secretly nibbling away at his family’s status, and even secretly contacting various large families and nobles of various nations, wanting to become the master of the Lady Bai.
“Could it be him? Bai Yeyu? ” Bai Ruoxi frowned, his eyes filled with anger.
Tao Lin looked a little embarrassed: “Anyway, young miss needs to be careful, I heard that he has recently gone around recruiting many sword artists, and even paid a high price to hire a few sword artists from Zhao Nation, Korea, and the Chu Nation, he is probably plotting something.”
Bai Ruoxi lightly bit her teeth, her red lips moistened, and thought, what if Bai Yeyu really did that? She dared to be so malicious, then she wouldn’t let him off so easily!
She turned to the middle-aged Martial Master on the right and said: “Master Fan, my house will need to trouble you to train more. In addition, please recruit some upper tier swordsmen for me. It would be best if they are a cultivator of the Second Order or higher, an expert in the way of the sword, so that at that time they will be extremely needed!”
Fan Baichuan said, “Eldest Miss, don’t worry. I will take care of the matter of the training family. In addition, my junior brother opened a dojo in Yingyang, and there are many swordsmen in there. If there is a need, we will also invite them to work for Eldest Miss.”
Bai Ruoxi was obviously not very interested in this. After she finished her sentence, she continued to speak, “Recently there have been some reliable sources of information, that the Kong family and the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets of Korea have started a business secretly, that they have provided the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets with excellent iron, that their profits are great, that their power has expanded greatly, and that in the Daliang City they are almost like the sun in the sky, that they are not inferior to the noble clans of the royal court. It is said that the Pavilion of Heavenly Sects is a secret organization formed by selling all kinds of sharp blades, concealed weapons, and assassins.
At this time, a guest suddenly spoke up: “Hey, this Lieutenant that is leading the troops is called Chen Ling. With such familiarity, could he be the young man named Gan Mao, who was rumored to have penetrated the hundred thousand Qin Army Great Formation alone in the Eastern Battlefield of the Wei Nation? If that’s really the case, then there’s a high possibility that the Third Prince is backing him up. We can use this opportunity to build a relationship with the Third Prince and borrow Gong Ziyu’s power to deal with him. “
