Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 791: A ray of hope, deliberately guided

Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction:

"That's right. You should also participate, but be sure to do it secretly."

Elder Song took the order and left.

Soon, several masters of the Luo Sect were arranged to disguise themselves as merchants from the Western Regions and secretly approach Chu Ying.

A few days later, Chu Ying came to a remote market.

This is already the border of the Western Regions, and it is a bit desolate.

If he continued running, he would reach the Shenmu Kingdom.

The wind and sand blew up his robe, making him look a little bleak.

He looked up at the dilapidated city gate in the distance.

He sighed inwardly. This was his last stop.

If he can't find anyone willing to cooperate, he might really have to return empty-handed.

"Boss Chu, the shop ahead is Li Laosi's."

A guard behind him whispered a reminder.

Chu Ying nodded and walked forward.

Li Laosi was his old friend from many years ago, and they had worked together in the business world of the Western Regions.

Although he is not rich, he is a righteous man and controls several trade routes leading to the Shenmu Kingdom.

Chu Ying came this time hoping to break the situation from him.

Pushing open the shabby wooden door, Chu Ying walked into Li Laosi's shop.

The shop was filled with all kinds of goods and looked a bit messy.

Li Laosi was sitting behind the counter, counting the bills with his head down.

When he heard footsteps and looked up, he was stunned.

"Chu...Boss Chu?"

Li Laosi widened his eyes, obviously not expecting to see Chu Ying here.

"Old Four, long time no see."

Chu Ying smiled, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

Li Laosi hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, looked Chu Ying up and down, and said with a wry smile:

"Boss Chu, why are you here? The Western Region is in turmoil right now. How dare a big shot like you walk around?"

Chu Ying sighed and patted Li Laosi on the shoulder:

"Fourth Brother, we are old friends. I won't hide it from you. Now that the Western Region Chamber of Commerce has collapsed, my subordinates have also dispersed. I am the only one left. This time, I came here to ask for your help."

Li Laosi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"Boss Chu, please tell me. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Chu Ying nodded and said directly:

"I have some goods I want to ship to the Shenmu Kingdom to sell, but the trade routes to the Western Regions are cut off now, and I can't find a suitable channel. Fourth Brother, don't you have several trade routes to the Shenmu Kingdom? Can you help me with this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Laosi's expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.

He looked around and said in a low voice:

"Boss Chu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the Western Region Alliance and the Datong Sect are both eyeing these trade routes. If I help you transport the goods, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Chu Ying's heart sank, but most people would say this, so he didn't give up and continued:

"Fourth Brother, we are old friends. I won't hide it from you. If this batch of goods can be successfully transported to the Shenmu Kingdom, the profits will definitely be yours. I can guarantee that I will never let you get involved in any trouble."

Li Laosi was still hesitant, obviously not reassured by Chu Ying's proposal.

But thinking of Chu Ying's ability and the promise he made.

He hesitated and said:

"No, I'll go contact them first. Anyway, I'm far away from home and no one cares."

At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open, and a burly middle-aged man strode in.

"Old Four, I heard you have some goods to ship?"

The middle-aged man spoke in a loud voice and went straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.

When Li Laosi saw the person coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to greet him:

"Old Ma, you've arrived just in time! This is Boss Chu. He has some goods he wants to ship to the Shenmu Kingdom. Can you help me?"

The middle-aged man called Lao Ma glanced at Chu Ying, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But calm was soon restored.

He nodded and said in a deep voice:

"I've heard of Boss Chu's name a long time ago. Now that the fourth brother has spoken, I'll give it a try."

Chu Ying was delighted and quickly stepped forward and bowed:

"Thank you, Boss Ma! I wonder how many carriages you have? This shipment is quite large, so it might require a lot of transportation."

Lao Ma smiled and patted his chest:

"Don't worry, I have more than 20 carriages under my command, which are enough to transport your goods. However, the situation in the Western Region is unstable now, and the freight is not cheap."

Chu Ying nodded:

"The price is negotiable. As long as it can be shipped to Shenmu Kingdom smoothly, everything is negotiable."

Old Ma nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Laosi and said with a smile:

"Old Four, you have quite a lot of goods in your shop. Do you want to transport them all over?"

Li Laosi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay! Since you're willing to help, Old Ma, I'll give it my all too! Boss Chu, let's do this together!"

Although we only agreed to one deal, it's at least a good start, and at least there is a way out.

A huge stone in Chu Ying's heart finally fell to the ground, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

But Chu Ying didn't know that the old man who suddenly appeared was actually someone secretly arranged by Qin Ming.

Lao Ma was originally a small trader in the Western Region Chamber of Commerce. He had met Chu Ying a few times, but they were not very familiar with each other.

After Qin Ming learned about Chu Ying's predicament in the Western Regions, he sent someone to find Lao Ma and promised him a huge reward to ask him to come forward to help Chu Ying.

"I'll go back now and notify someone to deliver the goods."

Chu Ying planned to use this trade route first and deal with the rest later.

"Row."

The two men sent Chu Ying out.

Old Ma suddenly said:

"Actually, there are some merchants on the western border who travel between the two countries. They don't have to follow the rules and be cautious. Why don't we go talk to them together?"

"Brother, do you have a solution?"

"I'm not talented, but I know a few."

"Then I must meet him!"

Chu Ying was overjoyed, but was worried that he would not have the opportunity to find more trade routes.

Under Lao Ma's introduction, several border merchants were called into a tavern.

This group of people were dressed like horse thieves and did not look like ordinary merchants.

Chu Ying was a little skeptical at first.

But after some conversation, he found that these merchants not only knew the trade routes in the Western Regions very well.

He also controls several secret business routes.

Most importantly, they do not seem to be afraid of the threats from the Western Regions Allied Forces and the Datong Sect.

"Boss Chu, we have heard of your great name for a long time, but we have never had the opportunity to meet you. Now that the situation in the Western Region is turbulent, it is time for us businessmen to unite and keep each other warm."

"If you don't mind, we are willing to cooperate with you to open up new trade routes."

One of the businessmen said sincerely.

Chu Ying's heart moved, although he still had some doubts about the origins of these businessmen.

But he has no better choice now.

He nodded:

"Okay, since you are so sincere, let's cooperate."

In the next few days, Chu Ying discussed the details of the cooperation with these businessmen in detail.

They decided to start with several small factories in the Western Regions and transport the accumulated goods to the Shenmu Kingdom.

Although the Shenmu Kingdom is located in a remote area, it has always maintained close trade relations with the Western Regions.

Moreover, there is a strong demand for goods from the Western Regions in the country.

With their support, Chu Ying had the confidence to return to the Datong sect.
