Just in case, she could try to cultivate someone who could rival the Song family, so that if Song Yu's affairs were exposed, she wouldn't be helpless.

"Han Shuang, what do you think of Qin Su?"

"Unfathomable, a dangerous person." Han Shuang spoke bluntly about Qin Su.

"Yes, great minds think alike." It was precisely because she always felt this person was dangerous that she didn't want to get to know him better.

This person is different from Jiang Mian; they can be united by mutual interests, but they can also part ways due to mutual benefits.

She could sense a hidden ambition in Qin Su from time to time, as if a fierce tiger lived in his heart, ready to pounce at any moment.

Looking at the boss's expression, Han Shuang considered for a moment and then revealed some rumors she knew.

"Elder, actually, Duke Qin's position in the State of Ji is somewhat awkward. It's understandable that the King of Ji doesn't trust them. In Liangjing, there's a rumor that the Qin family will eventually betray the State of Ji and return to their homeland when the time is right... However, the matriarch of the Qin family is the eldest princess of the State of Ji. With her around, Duke Qin doesn't dare to act rashly. After all, the eldest princess is a member of the royal family of the State of Ji. It's understandable for anyone to rebel, but she has no reason to rebel."

Listening to Han Shuang's narration, Mo Lan nodded in agreement. As the eldest princess of Ji Kingdom, she held a prestigious position and lived a privileged life. Once she left, she would be nothing more than a wife of the Qin family.

Those who have been at the top of the pyramid for years are used to manipulating power. If they were to lose it rashly, they would normally weigh the gains and losses.

"Perhaps it is because of the Qin family's complicated background that I feel it is dangerous, with too many hidden currents that make it impossible to guard against."

"What the eldest is worried about is that the Qin family's power is too great." Looking at her master, Han Shuang couldn't help but suggest, thinking of the Qin family's deeply entrenched influence, "Elder, have you ever thought about becoming a regional overlord?"

Hearing Han Shuang's question, Mo Lan glanced at her in surprise, "Why do you suddenly ask that?"

"In chaotic times, only the fittest survive. Boss, you have the advantage of timing and location. As for people, we have no shortage of them. If you have the will, you may be able to make it happen." The number of followers you have raised alone is in the tens of thousands. In addition, with your enormous wealth, you will not have to worry about recruiting soldiers.

“You’re right, but for now, I don’t have that in mind. Right now, what I want to do most is to make Weilong Escort Agency spread all over the world.” Mo Lan curled her lips. She wanted to make Weilong Escort Agency the number one escort agency in the world, so that whenever someone wanted to go on an escort mission, Weilong Escort Agency would be the first thing they thought of.

As long as the escort agency has extensive reach, her information network will be complete. At that time, whether she becomes a local tyrant or a wealthy merchant, it will be just a matter of a word. Without enough wealth, how can she recruit soldiers and horses?

"The boss is right to think that way. Stockpiling money and grain is indeed of paramount importance." In addition, we also need to stockpile enough national strategic equipment, and this iron ore development is a very good opportunity.

Bored on the journey, Han Shuang and Mo Lan sat in the carriage, chatting idly. Before they knew it, five days had passed.

They had traveled exactly halfway to Guanjun. Along the way, they passed through hilly areas, and there weren't many pedestrians on the official road, making their escort agency seem all the more out of place.

Around noon, at Ma Ren and Ma Yi's request, the caravan stopped at a relatively flat place to rest and have lunch.
