Chapter 145 – Old Acquaintance
by Salted Fish — Nong Siji sat on his seat with some irritation and asked, "You've been here for half a year, and you haven't made contact with any officials who can speak on our behalf?" The subordinates below hung their heads dejectedly. One envoy said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's not that we didn't try.

by Salted Fish — On the bed in the study, Xu Chun nestled in Xie Yi's arms, tears still glistening in his eyes, yet he held tightly onto Xie Yi, whispering, "Why did Elder Brother Jiu promote me?" Xie Yi leaned against a large bolster, one leg bent, an arm outstretched embracing Xu Chun, his posture relaxed as he closed his eyes with a smile, "Isn't it good that I promoted you? It's just a nominal title anyway, so you won't have to feel inferior in front of Inspector Qin." Xu Chun stole a glance at Xie Yi, his mature…

A cart carrying pineapples with a strong aroma passed by, followed by a banana tree laden with…

by Salted Fish — "Is the southeast going to become chaotic?" Sheng Changtian mused. "I've traveled that route before, and it's indeed quite turbulent there." Xu Chun leaned over the expansive table, studying the sea map. "Brother Changtian, this must be aimed at our dynasty. Our dynasty is the suzerain state of Silla, and if Silla is attacked, they will surely seek help from us. The emperor will definitely send troops to assist. Historically, any action against this area is very sensitive, and the land itself is…

by Salted Fish — The young and handsome official seemed completely unaffected by Light's vivid depiction of a promising future, instead asking calmly like a seasoned merchant, "And from what I know, this business has already been taken up by government kilns in Guangzhou, Fujian, and Zhejiang. The advantages might not be as great as you think." Light replied fluently, "Trust me, no other kiln can match the quality of this."

by Salted Fish — "What should we do?" Xu Tingjie paced back and forth, his expression flustered. "Could he have been deliberately bluffing us?" Dong Xian sat in his seat, his face stern. "Calm down. He doesn't have any evidence. And if he truly believed it, why would he tell us? Why wouldn't he just report us directly?" Xu Tingjie asked, "Who could it be? Who would write that report letter? The Zhu family? Or the Wang family? The Wang family has a new head, and last time they thought the split was too much, they were…
