People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 187 187. No one can stay out of trouble!

"Is there going to be a war? The Xing Luo Empire actually took the initiative to send more troops to the border. This has never happened before."

At the border of the Xingluo Empire, in a bustling caravan, an old man stood on a carriage with his hands behind his back, looking at the flag of the White Tiger Legion not far behind him, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.

Once war is approaching, life will be difficult for these merchants who travel around. It’s okay to tighten their belts, but their personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Sir, there are a total of 31 people in our prosperous caravan this time. This is the customs clearance document for our caravan, please take a look."

A young man dressed as a servant hurriedly ran up to the official of the Sun and Moon Empire, took out a document from his arms and handed it over.

Even though these multinational caravans have made a fortune from reselling, in fact...the hardships they have endured are probably only known to themselves.

The most difficult thing about forming a multinational caravan is not the manpower, but... obtaining recognition from both countries at the same time. The caravan must be officially registered with both countries. This is a major prerequisite, and many people do not even have the qualifications to register with their own country... no, the local chamber of commerce.

After checking the authenticity of the customs clearance document, the immigration official of the Sun-Moon Empire nodded, stamped the document, returned it to the young man, and after a simple count of the number of people in the caravan and the types of goods, let them pass.

Looking at the pass gradually disappearing into the distance, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could even catch his breath, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead. He hurriedly got into the carriage and knelt down in the direction of Zhu Ningyu.

"Sir, we need to count the number of people when leaving the country. It will be very troublesome if one person is missing. Can you, can you..."

The old man only felt that the words he wanted to say were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them. He couldn't confront a high-level soul master whose cultivation was far superior to his, even if he was standing on the edge of a cliff.

"That's your business. What does it have to do with me? This is the first time, and the last time. If it happens again... I will send your whole family to see your ancestors!"

Zhu Ningyu didn't pay much attention to a certain self-indulgent chamber of commerce member. She just leaned against the window, flipping through the romance novel written by Gu Yuhan, feeling extremely disgusted.

According to reliable intelligence, the Prosperous Caravan once hoarded food and sold it at high prices during famine periods. As a result... many originally happy families were broken up. Zhu Ningyu had no psychological burden at all for cheating the Prosperous Caravan.

This is the romance novel written by Gu Yuhan. Well... if it were released on Blue Star, it would probably be welcomed by a large number of female readers.

The gist of the content is... The eldest princess of a country fell in love with a beggar. In order to marry her lover, she did not hesitate to use the method of throwing a ball of embroidery to recruit a son-in-law to get a backdoor for her lover.

The king did not agree with his daughter's marriage to a beggar and wanted to cancel the marriage directly. The princess refused to obey and even threatened to die while holding her mother's tablet. She was willing to give up her identity as a princess and share the joys and sorrows with her lover.

As a result, the princess finally got what she wanted. At the cost of losing her status as a princess, she gained "freedom". She went to the countryside with her lover and lived an "ordinary" life of "you plowing the fields and I weaving cloth".

Eighteen years had passed since the two of them had passed. Later, the beggar's biological father came to recognize him as his relative. The beggar with an ordinary appearance turned out to be the eldest prince of the neighboring suzerain state...

Zhu Ningyu looked at the script in her hand with a strange expression. This plot... is it a bit too bloody? Only a love-minded person like Gu Yuhan could write such a plot.

After two days of travel, the caravan finally arrived in Mingdu. While the members of the bustling caravan were not paying attention, Zhu Ningyu changed her clothes, used clay to change her face shape, and then quietly left the caravan and went to the Jiuyang Pawnshop on the west side of Mingyue Hotel.

Nine Yang Pawn Shop?

Zhu Ningyu stood at the door of the pawnshop, looking at the four large gold-plated characters on the plaque, feeling extremely embarrassed.

There are so many good names, but why did he choose such a name? After a few seconds of pause, Zhu Ningyu controlled her facial expression and walked into the pawnshop.

"The earth shakes the high hills, and the green mountains are peaceful for eternity."

"The gate faces the four seas, and the water of three rivers flows together for ten thousand years."

"My lord, please!"

After exchanging the secret code, a girl in a white dress came out, faced Zhu Ningyu, and made a gesture of invitation towards the backstage.

The scene changed to a secret room in the Jiuyang Pawnshop. Zhu Ningyu and the girl in white skirt sat opposite each other at a table, tasting the fragrant tea specially provided by the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Zhu Ningyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The next moment, her face darkened instantly. As expected, cheap things don’t come at the same time. This body doesn’t even have the most basic sense of taste, which makes it less fun.

Zhu Ningyu put down the teacup, looked at the girl in the white dress in front of her, and said slowly: "Please introduce yourself first."

The girl in the white dress nodded and said, "My name is Hong Ling. I am 147 years old this year. I have a cultivation base of level 97. My martial spirit is... the Soul-Snatching Bell. My cover identity is that I am a collateral disciple of the Hongchen family. I am 79 years old... the old lady Bai Yiyi who has the secret of maintaining her youthful appearance."

Hong Ling looked at Zhu Ningyu's slightly wild sitting posture and couldn't help asking, "Sir, are you a man dressed as a woman?"

Zhu Ningyu said calmly: "This body is female from the inside out, it's just a flat plate, just treat me as a woman."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and talk business. The soul beast clan is preparing to launch a beast tide. The three empires are about to be in turmoil. The Sun-Moon Empire cannot let them stay out of it. We need to find a way to give them something to do."

Hong Ling frowned and said, "Then... should we contact the Evil Emperor and ask him to launch a beast tide as well?"

Zhu Ningyu shook her head and said, "The Evil Emperor will not agree. Even if he agrees, it is impossible for him to cause any waves in the Sun Moon Empire."

"Is there any way to divide the relationship between the Hongchen Family and the Royal Family so that they can fight among themselves?"

ah? ? ? ? ? ?

Hearing this, Hong Ling said with a strange expression: "My lord, this is unlikely. Although Xiao Hongchen has obtained the inheritance of the gods, the royal family also has it. The Yinyue family where Lin Yue is located is in the same family as the country... Oh, by the way, I heard some rumors these days. It is said that Xiao Hongchen is going to be engaged to Lin Yue."

got engaged?

Zhu Ningyu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Hong Ling, if I can provide you with all the resources and tools you know, what are your chances of destroying the Sun and Moon Empire and putting the blame on the Sea God Pavilion?"

"Including... the inheritance of the gods?" Hong Ling swallowed and did not follow Zhu Ningyu's words to think about it. Instead, she chose to ask a different question and expressed the doubts in her heart.

A 147-year-old old lady would choose to accept Qin Ningyun's invitation only for the purpose of becoming a god, and there would be no other reason.
