Chapter 450

Since the operation to rescue Princess Rousi, Tang Lianyu has rarely appeared in public. During the last two days of the Young Heroes Conference, Yang Yiyi stayed alone on the terrace to watch the competition.

Logically speaking, as the eldest daughter of the Tang family, it is impossible for her to do such a rude thing as leaving the guests aside to do other things. Tang Lianyu never said what she was doing, she just seemed very busy.

But apart from being busy, Yang Yiyi also felt that Tang Lianyu seemed to be avoiding her, or was embarrassed to look her in the eye.

"Ms. Yang, I came here today specifically to apologize for what happened before."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"I shouldn't have encouraged Lady Yang to intervene in this matter. As a result, Lady Yang was injured and she couldn't even continue to participate in the Young Heroes Association."

"That's it?"

Tang Lianyu has been brooding over this recently. Besides being busy, it is difficult for him to face Yang Yiyi.

But Yang Yiyi actually didn't care at all. No matter whether Tang Lianyu added fuel to the fire or not, as long as Yang Yiyi knew about it, she would definitely take care of it.

As for the Young Heroes Conference, it is a pity, but Yang Yiyi is not yet twenty years old, and the Young Heroes Conference is held every three years, with participants limited to those under thirty years old. She has plenty of opportunities to make up for this regret.

Compared to this, Yang Yiyi felt that saving people was the most important thing and she didn't care at all.

Tang Lianyu, on the other hand, still couldn't let it go. She felt...

A little petty?
No, it should be said that self-esteem is seriously damaged.

"Miss Yang has an open mind, but I cannot feel at ease. I was not thoughtful enough on this matter. Please forgive me, Miss Yang."

"I really don't care. Don't be too hard on yourself."

If it's a lack of consideration, it can't really be blamed on Tang Lianyu.

Yang Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Ms. Tang, have you known about the actions of the northerners in Luancheng?"

“It’s indeed earlier.”

"You are also busy with shipping matters recently, right?"

When Tang Lianyu heard this, she knew she had been seen through.

"Miss Yang has already guessed it, so I won't continue to hide it."

Since she came to apologize, there was no need for Tang Lianyu to hide anything, otherwise it would seem that she was taking advantage of the situation.

This kind of person does not give other people a good impression, so Tang Lianyu readily admitted:

"A few days before coming to Luan City, I received news that a group of northerners were behaving suspiciously in Luan City. I also received news that Princess Rousi of Yuezhou State was missing, and the Plum Blossom Guards tracked them all the way to Luan City."

"Um... Wasn't the news about Princess Rousi blocked? How did Miss Tang know about it?"

This level of information blockade is of no use to a national intelligence organization. However, no matter how well-informed the Tangfeng Company is, it is just a merchant, not a professional intelligence agency.

"To be honest, my Tangfeng Company has some connections with the Yuezhou Kingdom Palace in purchasing eunuchs."

My goodness, your business is really big, it’s almost reaching the sky.

After explaining a little, Tang Lianyu said:
"I thought at the time that if Lady Yang could solve this matter, we would both win, so before coming to Luan City, I sent someone to contact Captain Sun of the Plum Blossom Guard."

Tang Lianyu was not just talking about Yang Yiyi, but Princess Mingzhu as well.

She knew Yang Yiyi's character very well. She would definitely not just sit there and watch as long as she knew about Princess Rousi. And if Yang Yiyi knew about it, it was only a matter of time before Princess Mingzhu heard about it. If all else failed, Sun Wei could go to her house and ask for help.

In this way, it is equivalent to including Princess Mingzhu, Yang Yiyi and himself into the chess game.

Benefits? Of course.

Once this matter is resolved under the leadership of Princess Mingzhu, Liuzhou Kingdom will surely receive gratitude from Yuezhou Kingdom, and future diplomacy will also be easier. The relationship between the two countries is likely to improve greatly.

This is certainly a good thing for the court, and Princess Mingzhu should be aware of this.

Secondly, Yang Yiyi will also become very famous.

All the people in the martial arts world want is to become famous and famous. Moreover, if the problem is really solved, the imperial court will not ignore Yang Yiyi's contribution and will definitely reward her.

Thirdly, the Plum Blossom Guards who rescued Princess Rousi will surely be rewarded by the Emperor of Yuezhou. This is a credit that no one can erase, and Sun Wei may be able to take this opportunity to make further progress.

Finally, Tang Lianyu, or Tangfeng Company, who acted as the go-between, will also benefit from the connections.

It was equivalent to an exchange. Tang Lianyu helped Sun Wei find Princess Rousi. In the future, Tangfeng Trading Company had a protective umbrella in Yuezhou State from the Meihuawei, a spy agency that could directly reach the emperor.

In addition, there is the issue of sea transportation.

The northerners took the princess south instead of going back north, which means they planned to transport by sea, and to transport by sea they needed a ship.

There are not many ships that dare to transport this group of northerners, including the abducted princess. All of this needs to be arranged in advance. In other words, some of the guys involved in shipping might be the Northerners' thorns in the Central Plains.

Now that Princess Rousi has been found, the Plum Blossom Guards will definitely start investigating this. Once they find out something...

Participating in the kidnapping of the princess is definitely a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property.

Regardless of who dared to help transport the princess, as long as their property was confiscated, their share of shipping would definitely be lost.

Generally speaking, this share was taken up by other local shipping companies, but Tangfeng Company had a relationship with the Plum Blossom Guards, and it was the Plum Blossom Guards who were responsible for the confiscation of property.

In this way, whether this share is simply handed over to other shipping companies for division, or directly and seamlessly transferred to Tangfeng Trading Company, is just a matter of a word from Meihuawei.

Tangfeng Trading Company started out by relying on land transportation, and later gradually got involved in river transportation, but it never had any good opportunities in sea transportation.

After all, sea transportation is different from river transportation. If you want to go out to sea, you need an experienced captain, skilled sailors, a large ship that can withstand the wind and waves, and a route that has been paved with some effort.

These are not things that can be bought simply by spending money; they are the heritage accumulated by people engaged in shipping from generation to generation.

Tangfeng Trading Company also wanted to make a living from this business. It could either accumulate money bit by bit on its own or just take advantage of what was already available.

Obviously, eating ready-made food is faster and more reliable.

So, in Tang Lianyu's plan, this is a win-win situation for all parties.

Liuzhou Kingdom gained diplomatic benefits, Yuezhou Kingdom rescued the princess, Yang Yiyi became famous and was rewarded, and Tang Lianyu was able to get involved in the shipping that she had always dreamed of.

But it really is true that plans cannot keep up with changes.

The abacus beads were clacking loudly, but unexpectedly Shen Qingshuang suddenly appeared, which made Tang Lianyu at a loss. Her head was buzzing when she got the news.

So she quickly told Yang Yiyi not to get involved, because someone who couldn't be dealt with had come to Luancheng.

It can be said that although she was calm at the time, she was actually confused, otherwise she would not have been unaware of the fact that the more you forbid others to do something, the more curious they will be.

But then again, when Tang Lianyu received the news that Shen Qingluo was on the way, she immediately realized that someone was planning a much bigger game than hers.

Tangfeng Company could not afford to offend this party, so Tang Lianyu rarely participated in the discussion after that, and even rarely showed up, so as not to cause big trouble.

The only force that even Tang Lianyu was so wary of was naturally the imperial court.

No matter how rich a businessman is, he can't go against the imperial court. Tang Lianyu wisely chose to disappear temporarily...
