Yang Lian said respectfully: "It's not that bad, but... if the price paid is too much and the effort is not proportional to the gain, we naturally have to do it with caution." He looked at Guan Mu, and his expression was full of awe, "But since the shopkeeper decided to help, Yang Lian would obey the shopkeeper's instructions."

Guan Mu smiled, pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk!"

Yang Lian was not pretentious, so he bowed his hand and sat down next to Guan Mu.

"Old Yang, what you said makes sense. If you want to help Han Mo at the cost of losing the foundation of the trade in Feng Kingdom just because of Shaohe's letter and just because of the business in the East China Sea, it would be a bit more than worth the loss." Guan Mu looked calm: "But you should also understand that Shaohe is a smart person. If it were just for those reasons, he would not write a letter with jade tokens and letters, and asked me to help Han Mo with all his strength. He did this... If I was not wrong, it was carefully considered!"

Yang Lian nodded slightly: "The eldest young master has always been cautious in his work, but he doesn't know this time..." He seemed to feel that he was a little unreasonable in his words, so he stopped talking and did not continue.

Guan Mu sighed lightly: "Actually, Shaohe asked me to help Han Mo with all his strength, and that was the real overall situation!"

Yang Lian seemed a little puzzled and stared at Guan Mu.

Guan Mu whispered softly: "You may not know much about what kind of person Han Mo is, but I know it. This son conquered the pirates in the East China Sea and became his subordinates. He also used the power of the East China Sea pirates to open up the maritime business path that many people had dreamed of. Such ability was just a small attempt. Later, he opened the Liguguan gate in Bozhou County, exposed the coup plot of the Ximen family in the capital, and destroyed the He family in Yichun County... In other words, since his debut, several major families in Yan State were destroyed one after another, and he can be regarded as a disaster star of the aristocratic family. Now this son is in Yan State

He was in an important position. The withered Xihua Hall began to gather strength in his hands... Such a person came to Fengguo to find us with only one person this time. Do you think he would come easily without careful consideration? Although he had a good relationship with Shaohe, would such a powerful young man trust us wholeheartedly because of his relationship with Shaohe? Aren’t he afraid that we would not only not help him, but also secretly give birth to something?" He stroked his beard and whispered: "Don’t forget that he may not believe in his own people, how could he easily believe in our Qing people?"

Yang Lian frowned: "Since he doesn't believe us, why should he come to us?"

"Because he knew that because of the secret of his trip to Feng Kingdom, many of his own forces could not be used. He had to rely on the power of Feng Kingdom to achieve his goals." Guan Mu said slowly: "And our Guan family trade deal can obviously help him. If we only need our help but cannot be sure that we will not betray him, he will not come easily. What he can get here is obviously because he is confident that we will not betray him... because he feels that the chips in his hand can completely curb us from having other thoughts on him!"

"Barring chips?"

Guan Mu sighed: "We have quite a few branches in Fengguo. Regardless of other things, the eldest young master's East China Sea trade deal is completely in the hands of Han Mo. If I am not wrong, as long as we do something that is not conducive to Han Mo, the Guan family trade deal in Yan's Yan will definitely be extremely dangerous, and the East China Sea trade deal... is the first to suffer." He stared at Yang Lian, "With Han Mo's strength, it is not too difficult to deal with those trade deals in Yan!"

Yang Lian frowned even deeper: "Will he... be such a vicious character?"

"If we are not kind, he will naturally be unrighteous!" Guan Mu whispered: "But as long as we do not ruin his affairs, he will naturally not touch our people easily."

"Can we be threatened by him..." Yang Lian's eyes showed dissatisfaction.

Guan Mu waved his hand and whispered: "My Guan family trade business can be as good as it is today, but he is never easily threatened. If it were just because of this, even if I don't ruin his affairs, I wouldn't have helped him with all my strength!"

Yang Lian showed doubt.

Guan Mu said lightly: "Actually... I want to show my kindness to him and make him owe us a great kindness!"

"Show your kindness?"

Guan Mu stood up and his expression began to become solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The eldest young master grabbed Han Mo. Outsiders only thought it was for the East China Sea trade. It is undeniable that this is one of the reasons, but there is another reason, but few people know about it!"

Yang Lian didn't say anything.

Guan Mu stroked his beard and whispered: "The way out of the way out... In fact, the eldest young master has been preparing the way out for our Guan family!"

Yang Lian opened his mouth, and his face looked slightly surprised.

Guan Mu stood by the closed bed with his hands on his back, and through the thin gap, looking at the dark night outside, after a moment, he finally said: "My Guan family has now achieved unprecedented prosperity since the founding of the dynasty. Daqing commerce is in the hands of my Guan family. Such a prosperous scene actually hides endless dangers. The so-called prosperity and decline, the prosperity of the Guan family has reached its peak. Once it falls, it will definitely fall heavily, and it is unknown whether it will be destroyed!"

Yang Lian immediately said: "Big shopkeeper, are you too worried about this?"

Guan Mu shook his head with a serious expression, "Old Yang, your family has been the old people of my Guan family. Your Yang family and my Guan family are also connected by flesh and blood. If you have something to do, you will definitely be affected. You and I have been together in Fengguo for nine years, and the relationship is better than brothers. I will not hide some things from you." After a pause, he said, "The Guan family can have today. First, it is because my Guan family worked together to give full play to their strengths. But the most important reason is that the person in the palace wants our Guan family to become his foreign warehouse... To do big things, there is no need for money or intelligence. He supports our Guan family just to have a tool under his command that can bring money at any time and obtain information from all aspects at any time... Our Guan family is such a tool!"

When Yang Lian heard Guan Mu mention "the one in the palace", his eyelids immediately jumped and his expression began to become solemn.

"The Guan family has become a tool in his hand. He uses it to suit his hands, but his enemies are very uncomfortable." Guan Mu said slowly: "For so many years, the Guan family has been prosperous for a while, and they have to form many mortal enemies. Now the one in the palace is covering up, concealing the huge crisis hidden in the Guan family... But many people have never thought about what will happen to my Guan family if the person in the palace is in trouble? At that time, he will not care about the life and death of our Guan family... The wall is over and everyone pushes it. It is really time for that time that people who want to destroy our Guan family are there. Will our Guan family stay in Qingguo and be slaughtered?"

Yang Lian clenched his fists slightly: "It's not that easy to destroy the Guan family!"

"It's not easy, but it's not too difficult." Guan Mu shook his head and said, "It seems that the Guan family is now in a vast and has great fortune, but you should understand that so far, our Guan family has not had a military general in the officialdom, and there is no soldier in his hands. Even if there is silver, and there is no military force in the hands of the turmoil, those silver will become the targets that many people will spy on. At that time, the Guan family, which has no military power in hand, was undoubtedly a big fat sheep living in Qing Kingdom. There were countless wild beasts who wanted to tear my Guan family to pieces!"

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and looked even more solemn. It was obvious that Guan Mu's words touched him a great heart.

After a while, Yang Lian whispered: "The one in the palace... shouldn't have any problems, right?"

Guan Mu shook his head: "The court dispute will always be today without knowing tomorrow. Today may be more than ten thousand people, but tomorrow, it may become a corpse... People's hearts change and unstable. Our Guan family naturally hopes that the one in the palace will always be there to keep our Guan family safe and prosperous. If that is true, everyone will be happy and naturally cannot ask for it. But if things do not develop as we think, then what? The Guan family has a family of nearly a thousand people. We can't really wait until the matter is about to come, right?"

Yang Lian finally understood something and said, "So... the Guan family has been preparing for a way out?"

Guan Mu nodded and said, "Once there is a change, the Qing State cannot be accommodated, so he can only withdraw to other countries. Wei State is armed with military force, heavy taxes, and brave and fierce, so it is not suitable for my Guan family to live after the change... The Feng State can only avoid it for a while, but cannot live for a long time. After thinking about it, only Yan State is our best choice. In the six counties of Yan State, if the people's lives are stable and the people are simple, I am afraid that only Donghai County where the Han family is located is a pure land!"

Yang Lian suddenly realized, "I was surprised at the beginning. The eldest young master was talented and intelligent. Why did he take pictures of the Donghai County of Yan State? Before maritime trade, the business of the Donghai Trade Company was extremely poor, and the family rarely put their minds on the East China Sea. Later, the sea route was smooth, and I thought the family sent the eldest young master to the East China Sea to open up maritime trade. At that time, I was cheering because of the eldest young master...!" He sighed and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the eldest young master went to the East China Sea to prepare a way out for us..."

Guan Mu smiled and said, "Now the Han family is also very powerful in Yan State. The other end of Qing State has changed. It is a great choice to join the East China Sea and be protected by the Han family." Fuxu smiled and said, "Shaohe and the Han family have formed a trade relationship. It is also a good relationship with Han Mo, but it is not too strong after all. This time we help Han Mo with all our efforts to make Han Mo accept our kindness. If you really want to surrender in the future, with favors ahead, the Han family will not refuse. So this time, the greater the favor, the better. The greater the price we bet, the greater the kindness, and the more grateful Han Mo is in his heart!"

Yang Lian sighed: "At the price of the foundation of trade in Fengguo, we should help Han Mo with all our strength. Such a favor... is indeed not small!"
