"The South produces beauties; this is indeed not just the boasting of the Southern Zhou people!"
Zhao Cheng looked at the eight beauties who had suddenly appeared with great interest, ignoring the burnt and disheveled Southern Zhou soldiers and the ongoing battle, and said with a smile, "Eight sisters, have you heard of Mr. Pu from Dongjing?"
The two women standing at the front exchanged a glance, looking puzzled. One of them said, "Mr. Pu is exceptionally talented and proficient in music. Many of the lyrics and music in our Miaoyin Pavilion were written by him, so of course we recognize him."
"But what do you mean by asking us if we know him?"
Zhao Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Mr. Pu is a member of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce. Why don't you join the Eastern Chamber of Commerce as well? I'll have Mr. Pu form a group with you. Your future will definitely be bright!"
Upon hearing this, the women of the Wonderful Sound Fairy Group were stunned.
Zhao Cheng continued, "Tell me, what price will Miaoyin Pavilion offer you? How much money can you earn at Miaoyin Pavilion in a year? The Eastern Chamber of Commerce will give you ten times that! More importantly, you will get to know more good songs, enough to make you famous throughout history!"
"Wealth! Fame! Status! You will have them all if you come to the Eastern Chamber of Commerce!!"
Not only were the Miaoyin Fairy Groups stunned, but Zhao Cheng's group was also stunned.
What are you doing?
How did we end up talking about business?
Should we still fight this war?
Seeing the gleam in Zhao Cheng's eyes, Zhou Nuo pinched Zhao Cheng's arm hard.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Zhao Cheng grabbed Zhou Nuo's hand and whispered, "Don't be silly, I don't mean anything by it, I just want to poach them, they're all money!"
Zhou Nuo sneered, "I don't believe you!"
Zhao Cheng continued, calling out to the women of the Wonderful Sound Fairy Group, "Sisters, this is your chance to change your destiny, think about it now!"
At that moment, a melodious yet majestic voice echoed from the valley.
"I had long heard Zhou Jinghuan say that the Zhao family of Dajing had produced an extraordinary person, who was insidious, treacherous, shameless, never played by the rules, full of tricks, and good at using unconventional schemes. Today, I have truly seen it for myself!"
The Myriad Sounds Immortal Group split up from both sides, and a very small figure appeared in the distance. With each step this figure took, it grew larger in Zhao Cheng's eyes. By the third step, it was already standing in front of the Myriad Sounds Immortal Group.
She wore a red dress, and her attire and accessories were extremely formal, making her look like an empress.
Especially when Zhao Cheng saw her face clearly, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Her voice and demeanor suggested she was in her thirties, but she looked only around twenty.
In Zhao Cheng's heart, Yuan Yun and Yang Cai'e at home were already stunning beauties, and Gong Xue beside him was an even more breathtaking beauty. But when this woman appeared, the flowers in Silver Valley seemed to lose their color.
Compared to her, the Wonderful Sound Fairy Group is like a bunch of maids!
The woman continued, "On the battlefield where it's a matter of life and death, instead of thinking about how to protect yourself and how to repel the enemy, you've actually started doing business and trying to poach the Fairy Miaoyin from my Miaoyin Pavilion?"
"Zhao Cheng, what's wrong with your brain?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng already knew the woman's identity. He clasped his hands and said, "So it's Master Miaoyin. With you here, I can no longer try to poach your people. I understand the rules of the martial world."
"Don't mention the Jianghu to me. Someone like you who plays power games in the imperial court is not worthy of mentioning the word Jianghu."
“Master Ming, you misunderstand. I am indeed not a member of the martial arts world. I am weak and have never thought of going into the martial arts world.”
Zhao Cheng continued, clasping his hands in a fist salute, "I can't say whether I can poach more of your people, but I can poach you directly! Master Ming, think about it, your family is in the music business and doesn't like to get involved in the court's messy affairs. My Eastern Chamber of Commerce's bookstore can write lyrics, and Mr. Pu can compose music. The bookstore also never gets involved in the court's affairs. If we join forces, we can compose and sing more great songs. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?"
Zhao Cheng became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, saying, "The bookstore will be behind the scenes, composing lyrics and music, while the Miaoyin Pavilion will be responsible for the performances. With my help in packaging and promotion, these fairy sisters will become famous stars all over the East!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Yingluo's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Zhao Cheng said, "Tsk tsk tsk, the master is indeed the master, even his frown is so handsome!"
Ming Yingluo said, "I never intended to kill you. I advise you not to court death."
Zhao Cheng remained unmoved and continued, "We can discuss the money. As long as you're willing, we can split it in half!"
"My Miaoyin Pavilion is not short of money!"
"But art knows no borders. Before the map of the Eastern land is unified, we can unify in art first!"
Zhao Cheng opened his arms wide and exclaimed, "Master Ming, can you feel it? What a lofty ideal and pursuit this is!"
"All I felt was your shamelessness!!"
Ming Yingluo suddenly shouted, and a wave of energy shot out from her body, sweeping towards Zhao Cheng.
Gong Xue and Heng Wenhao quickly stepped in front of Zhao Cheng, but all three of them were knocked back in an instant!
"Amazing!" Heng Wenhao exclaimed in amazement and quickly protected Zhao Cheng.
Su Sheng had already stood up and said behind Miaoyin Xiantu, "Master, don't argue with him. No one here can match him in a verbal battle."
"It seems we can't reach an agreement, at least not now." Zhao Cheng continued walking forward, shaking his head regretfully. His tone became more serious as he said, "Miaoyin Pavilion has never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court. Why are you getting involved today?"
Ming Yingluo said, "The court's troubles are indeed none of my business. I'm here today for personal matters."
Zhao Cheng asked, "What is it?"
Ming Yingluo pointed at Su Sheng and Cui Wuming and said, "I'm taking these two people with me."
Zhao Cheng immediately glanced at Su Sheng and Cui Wuming, and seeing that they were also somewhat surprised, he immediately understood the reason.
Zhao Cheng said, "Gray Robe, Cui Wuming, you two are quite lucky. Indeed, even Master Ming has made a move. I can't stop you two today."
Ming Yingluo said, "You're very smart. I don't want to kill anyone, but I don't care about killing anyone either."
As she spoke, Ming Yingluo glanced at the archers on the mountainside and said, "Indeed, no one here can stop me."
Zhao Cheng raised his chin at Zuo Zhu and asked, "What about him and these Southern Zhou soldiers?"
Ming Yingluo said, "Although I don't want to get involved in court affairs, I am a citizen of Southern Zhou. Now that I'm here, I won't just stand by and watch them fall into your hands."
Zhao Cheng sneered, "Although Master Ming is a woman, she is truly domineering!"
Ming Yingluo suddenly looked at Zhao Cheng with sharp eyes. Zhao Cheng felt as if someone had pushed him in the chest and he took several steps back.
At the same time, the eight Fairy Maidens of Wonderful Sounds simultaneously raised their instruments and played a note, causing an immense wave of energy to surge towards the mountainside, knocking the archers to the ground or causing them to fall.
Ming Yingluo flicked her long sleeves and said, "I am domineering, so what can you do about it?"
