Gu Mei Ya was riding her horse towards the northern borders when she received a carrier pigeon asking for her presence in Yongjin due to an unrest in that area.
She was surprised to find such information in this world. She turned her horse toward the road to Yongjin. In the carrier pigeon the information received was the magistrate of the Yongjin had found a jade mine in the area of Yongjin. However a spy had leaked the information to the third prince. Such without the emperor knowledge the third prince ordered his men to take actions on excavate the jade secretly.
However the dark valley had already learned the movement and moving towards Yongjin. It said even the Demon King will be there present. She must be there to see if she can gain any advantage. In her past life she was a business woman. She always wanted to earn more money in her last life. In this life it's no different. If only she had much money can she live the life she wants?
Her way of life had always been filled with competition. But she liked it. But however after arriving on this world her life had been boring.
This is first time for her face excitement in this world.
She urged her horse to run faster. However what she wasn't expecting is that this point from her life will be exciting to the core.
Recently Yongjin city had been busy. Also the checkpoints of the entrance of each gates are heavily guarded. There are more people in the city than usual. Also many of the inns of the city had been filled. In the night there secrets movements are everywhere.
But the normal people carried out their daily tasks without as usual. For them surviving each day is hard enough. Who would care about other stuff? The world requires different roles of people for it to keep working.
On the day Gu Mei Ya arrived at the checkpoint. She passed easily with her fake identity prepared. On coming to the city. She directly entered the most luxurious inn in the city. The inn is quite known for its high quality service.
Gu Mei Ya entered the first floor and showed the seal. She was shown to the top floor. In the top floor she entered in to the room reserved for the boss.
Gu Mei Ya looked around her and sighed. When she first came in to this world she was worry free. Still she cannot forget her dream about being a business woman. Thus in this life time she started a business chain concerning over people necessities. From then on until now she is able to successfully navigate her business in this ancient era.
In the all four countries her business had spread very far and wide. She had to ascribe so much and risk much. But in the end for the success it was worth it.
She wished to earn the rights over the jade mine so she can earn more profit from it.
But she didn't want was that both the third prince and the dark valley have their eyes over it. Before this whenever she was doing business she ensured her affairs never met any trouble with these two forces.
They are the royal family and the dark valley. Royal family was never a good place to do business as it would usually end up in leading to court. Which she never considered good way to earn money.
The other force is the Dark valley. It is the leader of the martial world where chaos reign everywhere. Dark valley had been established over ten years. But they dealt with assassinations and information gathering all kinds of underworld business are carried out by them.
But the jade mine is a big piece of meat which cannot be ignored.
She must strike before these two to obtain the highest profit. Both the Demon King and the third prince are the ones she cannot butt head on.
If contacting the magistrate directly. Striking while the iron is hot.
No matter how many scheme were cooked in the Yongjin the magistrate place is relatively quiet. The magistrate is one of the crown prince people. However for past two months after mine incident he sent quite a lot of messengers to the capital.
But he didn't receive any return messages. Feeling suspicious he sent out his men to scout the location. And found all his men were killed. The messengers all sent were intercepted. Even in his own city all his movements are spied.
He is unable to move at all.
From the information he received the third prince and the dark valley are gathered here.
He really wants to give up mine on his hands. But who would answer the crown prince?
Since the crown prince still doesn't know. But after the incident he will know about it for sure.
He can only cower in his place. Hiding all day and refusing to see anyone. That is the only thing he can do.
In the most luxurious inn of the city. The one who was labeled as the black demon by many parties is right now planning his strategy to obtain the mine for his own self.
All of his subordinates under his command most of them have been summoned. On lounge resting the Black demon laid. The aura around him was cold and arrogant. He sat there like he is the only one above all.
His sword like eyebrows are slightly frowned. But still it dint hide the elegance on his style. Xie Jing Shen didn't change position but asked out loud. "What is the situation with the third prince?"
"He is here. He arrived here four days ago. However his men had been monitoring the magistrate for two months. He even stopped the news reaching the crown prince. "
"It seem he is indeed desperate to obtain the mine after all." Xie Jing Shen said reclining on the lounge. His peach blossom eyes flashed.
