Both men were seasoned veterans, and they spoke at just the right moment. After all, everyone knew that Lü Buwei held absolute power, and Ying Zheng's influence was not very strong. But it was a different story if the two men, who held military power, were willing to support him.

Wu Shi Luo's body trembled. He knew his own family best. Wasn't this the reason why he was so eager to find a backer?

If he could truly cooperate with the king, why would he need to live in constant fear of offending others and being targeted by them?

Now was the perfect opportunity to elevate his status, so he quickly replied, "Wu Shi Luo will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations and do his utmost to earn a continuous supply of cattle, sheep, and warhorses for the Qin state."

He was a smart man; he didn't haggle over how much he could get, but just kept patting his chest and making guarantees.

Seeing this, Meng Ao and Wang Jian couldn't help but look at Wu Shilu with new respect. Merchants were known for their profit-driven nature, so it was quite remarkable that this young man could hold back.

The wicked man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, then this matter is settled. Wu Shi Luo, go back and prepare the relevant matters as soon as possible."

"Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. Half of it will be your personal gain. Are you satisfied?"

Wu Shilu naturally had no complaints and nodded in agreement repeatedly. He had already become so wealthy through his private dealings alone; even half a percent of the trade conducted at the national level would be a hundred times better than what he could make on his own.

Wu Shi Luo stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, General. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Afterwards, Wu Shi Luo left the wicked husband's residence with a heart full of joy and anticipation. He knew that this meeting with the wicked husband would be a major turning point in his life.

Having completed their mission, Meng Ao and Wang Jian got up to leave. Before leaving, they reminded the wicked husband to send his share of the 'reward' as soon as possible.
