Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
As the former number one merchant pavilion in the Grand Xia Dynasty, although it was now being suppressed by the Smoke and Rain Building, they were still doing well with the monopolized business from the other state and county branch pavilions, which was not too bad.
Late at night, after Chu Yun entered the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with a few people, he immediately identified himself with one of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's stewards and explained his intentions, in order to meet their Pavilion Master.
That steward led Chu Yun's several people to a parlor, "Your Highness, please wait here for a few moments, I will go ahead and invite the Pavilion Master to come."
Chu Yun nodded, "Thank you."
The Night Swallow and Heavenly Demoness duo swept their eyes at the surroundings, the former said, "Master, if the talks don't work out, can we just come to the hard way?"
Chu Yun shook his head, "There is no need for that."
"Besides, I am confident that I can convince him."
Not long after that steward left, a sound of steady footsteps came from outside the door.
Only to see a man with a large round belly and a round fat body, showing all the richness, showing a kind smile slowly walked in, "The Ninth Prince's late-night visit to my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion really makes my pavilion glow!"
Chu Yun looked at the person in front of him and smiled, "Master of Tian Bao Pavilion is courteous, late night disturbance, do not be surprised."
This chubby middle-aged man was precisely the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Heavenly Treasure Venerable.
"Where where!"
"I've long heard that Your Highness this person has an extraordinary temperament, and today, when I see it, it's really true to its name."
"Come, all sit all sit."
Having just met, both sides were polite and courteous, which was normal.
Only after the several people all sat down did Venerable Tian Bao ask, "I wonder if Your Highness came to my Tian Bao Pavilion late at night, but what is the matter?"
Chu Yun frankly said, "There is a sale that I would like to talk to Pavilion Master about."
"It's just that I don't know if Pavilion Master, dares to do it."
Venerable Tian Bao's expression was somewhat interested, "Oh? I am willing to hear about it."
Chu Yun looked around and then said, "Pavilion Master, Tian Bao Pavilion has been suppressed by Smoke and Rain House everywhere in recent years, and its business within the Imperial City is nearly seventy percent less than it once was."
"If not relying on the monopolization of business to other states and counties, I'm afraid that the entire main pavilion, will have to close down, right?"
"In that case, rather than keep spending like this with a drop in the bucket, why doesn't the pavilion master find another way out?"
Venerable Tian Bao raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what Your Highness said about another way out, which one is it?"
Chu Yun said bluntly, "Tian Bao Pavilion, if it has the help of the royal family, then even if it cannot surpass the Smoke and Rain Building, but more or less it can also be in the middle of this imperial city, and its division, and will not appear to be unbalanced on one side."
Venerable Tian Bao stroked his few beards and laughed, "Your Highness' meaning, I do understand."
"Your Highness wants me, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, to be on your side just like Prime Minister Meng?"
Nowadays, the matter of the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince secretly fighting, who in the entire Imperial City didn't know about it.
Especially since the Ninth Prince also had Dream Chang Chong supporting behind him, making this imperial power struggle, even more interesting.
However, the difference between sitting back and watching the show and going down on your own, that's a big difference.
Venerable Tian Bao was such a shrewd person, wanting him to take sides was not something that could be done by drawing a pie.
"Pavilion Master should be clear that once the battle for imperial power is truly put in the open, then the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion won't be able to be spared."
"Instead of being forced to join, then why not take the initiative to choose a side?" Chu Yun said with a calm expression.
Venerable Tian Bao smiled bashfully, "Your Highness is right, but if you want me, Tian Bao Pavilion, to choose Your Highness, with such a nebulous cooperation alone, I am afraid that ......"
Chu Yun listened to his tone and naturally understood his meaning, "The Pavilion Master is thinking that I don't have much chance of winning?"
Venerable Tian Bao smiled without saying anything, and his meaning was equivalent to acquiescence.
Only to see Chu Yun's body, the aura of the Broken Realm flowed out.
Venerable Tian Bao immediately raised an eyebrow, his face very surprised, "Broken Realm?"
"I did not expect Your Highness's realm to be hidden so deeply!"
"But even so, if my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion chooses Your Highness, I'm afraid the risk is still too great."
Chu Yun calmly said, "Since ancient times, risks have always existed alongside opportunities, haven't they?"
"Pavilion Master, you should know that these forces of the Flowing God Sect were destroyed, right?"
Venerable Tian Bao narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that Your Highness had someone do it?"
Chu Yun admitted, "My people did it, and faced Yan Rujun, and also retreated unharmed in one piece, and now he is also on his way back to the Imperial City."
"Even ... Night Swallow."
Chu Yun glanced at him, and the latter understood, and a wisp of pressure from the Venerable Realm diffused out from within him.
Venerable Tian Bao's face changed slightly, and his eyes steeply turned towards him, "Rather, it is my eyes that are clumsy, I did not expect Your Excellency to be a Venerable."
"Venerable Tian Bao, our master has come today, but he is full of sincerity, so I hope that you will consider it well." Night Swallow said.
"Master?
Venerable Tian Bao was inwardly shocked, at first he thought that this person might be a protector sent from the Shi Family's side to Chu Yun.
However, the word master was completely different from a Dao Protector.
It meant that Chu Yun was so young that not only had his cultivation reached the Broken Realm.
There was also a slave of the Venerable Realm!
"Right."
"Pavilion Master, the Yan Family and the Hope Immortal Dao Sect are both on my side now as well."
"There's also the Black Iron King and Wang Han Mistake, both of them, nowadays, are also in my hands."
"I can even clearly tell the Pavilion Master that to accomplish all of these things, this Palace has not utilized the slightest bit of power from the Shi Family or the Imperial Family." Chu Yun revealed some more.
Venerable Tian Bao's pupils trembled deeply.
All of these things were done by the Ninth Prince relying on his own strength?
Venerable Tian Bao's heart instantly pondered in detail, if that was truly the case, then this Ninth Highness, was not a hidden tiger.
Rather, it was a true dragon that was strong enough to tear through the heavens, treading on the wind and clouds and lying dormant in the abyss!
Venerable Tian Bao pondered for a long time before saying, "I will only ask Your Highness one thing."
"If the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion assists Your Highness in seizing the throne, then in the end, what can the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion truly obtain?"
"The annual auction rights of the royal treasures can be divided by more than half to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, as well as, exempting all Heavenly Treasure Pavilion taxes, and also allowing the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to become the royal family's imperial merchant pavilion!"
"With such support, it is enough to allow you and the Smoke and Rain Building to achieve an almost equal balance within the Imperial City."
For Chu Yun, there was actually no need for him to bother with pulling some forces together, as long as his master, Easy Son, arrived, any imperial power struggle would settle down.
But Tianbao Pavilion was different, he was a native force of Da Xia, if he allowed the foreign Smoke and Rain Building to suppress them to death, then the entire economic operation of Da Xia's merchant goods would only completely fall into the Smoke and Rain Building's control in the future.
Therefore, Chu Yun had to support a force that could separate and strike a balance between Da Xia proper, and them in terms of their merchant cabinet capabilities.
In this way, the Smoke and Rain Building would not be able to monopolize the entire commercial goods economy of the Grand Xia.
Hearing Chu Yun say that, Venerable Tian Bao was truly moved, and he immediately responded sincerely, "Good, then I hope that Your Highness can remember your promise this night!"
"In that case, I, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, would like to serve Your Highness, as a dog and horse!"
