Chapter 561: Poison Masters Join Forces Against Dan Tian

"Brother Wenhe, do you know the current situation of the Dantian Merchant Alliance?"

Yao Guangxiao's voice was low, as if every word contained endless power.

Jia Xu nodded. Now, with the full efforts of Su Ye, Jia Xu and others, Luowang in Daqian has spread all over the territory and is well-known to everyone.

As Dantian Business Alliance was one of their targets, he had naturally been paying close attention to it.

"I want Wenhe to use the power of Luowang to gather the lower-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance who have already surrendered to Your Highness."

"Use them to tear off a piece of flesh from the Dantian Merchant Alliance."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and the rosary in his hand was turning slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and turned the teacup in his hand.

He knew that Yao Guangxiao's intention was nothing more than to demonstrate the strength of the Cangzhou Army to the many forces in Hengzhou by attacking the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

At the same time, it also strives to gain more resources and support for Su Ye.

"Don't worry, Si Dao, I will mobilize the power of Luowang with all my strength."

"As for those lower-level forces in the Dantian Merchant Alliance who have surrendered to Your Highness, they are waiting for the opportunity to serve Your Highness."

He nodded slightly, a small but calm movement.

He slowly put down the teacup in his hand. The slight collision sound was particularly clear in the quiet study, like a prelude to the clarion call of action.

Yao Guangxiao's move was not only to strike at the Dantian Merchant Alliance, but also to lay out a bigger chess game.

Through this action, not only can the strength of the Cangzhou Army be demonstrated, and the various forces in Hengzhou and even the entire Daqian be deterred, but more resources and allies can also be won for their own lord, laying a solid foundation for future great undertakings.

Jia Xu was naturally willing to fully cooperate with such a good thing. Wasn't this the reason he came to Hengzhou?

"Brother Wenhe, this matter is of great importance. We must act with caution."

"Although the Dantian Merchant Alliance is not a monolithic entity, its internal forces are complicated and intricate. If we are not careful, we might alert the enemy."

Yao Guangxiao's voice sounded slowly, but it did not escape the worry.

After this period of working together to do bad things, he has full confidence in Jia Xu's abilities.

"Si Dao is overthinking. Xu knows his limits. He has set up a network of traps and is well-informed. He is able to strike accurately and catch the Dantian Merchant Alliance off guard."

"Besides, we hold their most critical pieces in our hands, which are enough to cause internal chaos and make them unable to take care of themselves."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Having said that, Jia Xu stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and gently stroked an ancient book, as if thinking about something.

"Mr. Yao, I will do my best in this matter, not only for the sake of your highness's great cause, but also for the value of Xu, Wen Ruofengxiao and others' painstaking planning during this period of time."

The Dantian Merchant Alliance is just a stumbling block on our way forward. I will remove it for my lord myself later. ""

After a moment, he turned around and looked at Yao Guangxiao meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Brother Wenhe, I have nothing to worry about as long as you are here."

"Once this is accomplished, the reputation of the Cangzhou army will resound throughout Daqian, and the lord will no longer have to worry in Hengzhou!" He stood up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jia Xu, their figures lengthened in the candlelight.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, said nothing more, just patted Yao Guangxiao's shoulder lightly, and everything was said without words.

The two smiled at each other. The tacit understanding of doing bad things together for so long meant that there was no need for them to say anything.

it is more than words!
In the following days, Yao Guangxiao and Jia Xu were like two invisible web weavers, plotting in the dark, and the covert operation against the Dantian Merchant Alliance quietly began.

Although this war is silent, it is more cruel than any swordplay, because it directly concerns the survival of the forces and the future direction of the Daqian pattern.

Luowang, the intelligence and action network built by Su Ye, Jia Xu and others, was now like an invisible giant net, quietly spreading out, drawing in the low-level forces of the Dantian Merchant Alliance who had already defected to Su Ye.

These forces, either because of their admiration for the military strength of the Cangzhou Army or because of their dissatisfaction with the top leaders of the Dantian Merchant Alliance, responded to the call and became the pioneers in this silent war.

Yao Guangxiao directly targeted the lifeblood of the Dantian Merchant Alliance - those unique elixir recipes that were unrivaled in the world.

These recipes are the result of many years of hard work by the Dantian Merchant Alliance. Each one contains the wisdom and sweat of countless alchemists, and their value is immeasurable.

Yao Guangxiao knew very well that as long as he mastered these pill formulas, he would undoubtedly have taken away a piece of the Dantian Merchant Alliance's heart and soul, strangled the Dantian Merchant Alliance by the throat, and made it lose its unique competitive advantage in the pill market.

Together with Jia Xu, he mobilized the most elite forces of the Luowang organization, and like ghosts in the night, they quietly infiltrated every corner of the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

Those trapped in the trap may disguise themselves as businessmen and lure people with large sums of money, or pretend to be scholars and steal secrets in the name of academic exchanges.

What's worse, they took advantage of the contradictions and weaknesses within the Chamber of Commerce and used threats and intimidation to force some weak-willed people to defect.

In this silent contest, the Dantian Merchant Alliance gradually fell into unprecedented panic.

Alchemists, these wise men who were usually immersed in the fragrance of medicine and the fire of furnace, suddenly found that their masterpieces, those elixir recipes that were regarded as priceless treasures, were swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind and fell into the hands of outsiders.

There was a mixture of anger and fear in his heart, but he felt powerless to change the situation because the other party's methods were sophisticated and their actions were secretive.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Our Dantian Merchant Alliance has always been on high alert. How could it be possible that..."

An elderly master alchemist asked in a trembling voice, holding a copy of the recipe he had copied himself, his eyes full of disbelief and despair.

"The world is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to predict."

"Although we are guarding mountains of gold and silver, it is difficult to resist people's greed, not to mention that the other party is obviously well prepared."

A younger alchemist nearby smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Alas, these recipes are not only our hard work, but also the foundation of the Merchant Alliance!"

"Once it leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."

The old alchemist was heartbroken.

"It's useless to say this now. We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. At the very least, we must protect the remaining recipes and not let them fall into the hands of the enemy again."

The young alchemist had a bitter look on his face. He could probably guess which force had taken action, but what was the use?
Under the current situation of Cangzhou Army, nothing can be done by humans.

At the same time, Jia Xu was not idle either. He knew very well that the elixir recipe alone was not enough to completely defeat the Dantian Merchant Alliance.

Therefore, he began to turn his attention to those lone alchemists in the Dantian Merchant Alliance who were not directly affiliated with the high-level forces.
