The man named Shanzi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said respectfully, "This place belongs to Hao Ren now, and whatever he says is right."
"We are a small village with no name. We have a total of eighty-six people. Not including the women who were robbed, if we include them, the total number is ninety-five."
"All the property in the village belongs to the previous boss. He hid it himself. No one else knows where it is."
Hearing this, Hao Ren nodded lightly and looked at Elder Wutu on the side, "Elder, I will trouble you about this matter."
Elder Wutu smiled and stretched out his hand, and a small insect flew out, circled for a while, and flew towards a place, "Follow this Gu insect, he will lead us to the place where the treasure is hidden."
Elder Utu said.
Ran Yun and Ke Hao got up and went to find the hidden treasure.
The others stayed here. Seeing Elder Wutu's methods, Shanzi was shocked. Sure enough, these people were too terrifying.
"This will be our place from now on. Everyone will tidy up their clothes and clean up all the garbage. In addition, some houses will be rebuilt. There are quite a few of us, at least one room per person."
Hao Ren spoke indifferently.
"I don't care what you have done before, but if you, under my command, act recklessly, burn, kill, and loot without my permission, I will be the first to kill you."
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Shanzi nodded quickly, "Boss, we listen to you in everything."
"Okay, let's go down. From now on, we will start to rectify the village. I will give you three days. After three days, if you can't see any changes, there will be no use in staying here."
Hao Ren waved his hand and spoke indifferently.
Shanzi quickly retreated, waited until he went out, and relayed Hao Ren's order to the others outside. Hearing Hao Ren's words, these people were a little surprised. They were bandits. If they didn't rob, what would they eat?
However, they did not dare to disobey Hao Ren's order. They all started busy, cleaning up the village and taking care of their own appearance. Some went to cut down trees and plan to build wooden houses.
Some people go to cook. This is the Taihang Mountains, where all kinds of wild animals exist, and some game is easily available.
At night, fires were lit in the cottage for lighting. In the hall, there was a huge dining table with a variety of food.
"Boss, seniors, our village is relatively small, so we don't have much good stuff. The cooks were also robbed from outside, and their skills are not as good as those outside. Please forgive me. In a few days, my brothers and I will go outside to invite a chef.
The chef comes in."
Shanzi stood at the back, looking at Hao Ren and the others with a flattering expression. Beside him, two women stood, looking at everyone present with respectful expressions.
Hearing this, Hao Ren looked calm and said, "These are trivial matters. They are not necessary and we don't care."
"When things here are over, I still have some questions to ask you."
Hao Ren said, taking out some silver from the box on the side and throwing it to the other party, "I don't need the treasure left here before, you can use it for expenses in the village."
After the silver, Shanzi's heart trembled, but he knew that these things were not important to Hao Ren and the others.
Three days have passed, and the cottage has taken on a completely new look. There are seven or eight more wooden houses, as well as some things purchased from outside.
Everyone also tidied themselves up, and things like urinating and urinating everywhere disappeared, because one person didn't care before, but when Yunzhen saw it, he directly killed the opponent with a sword.
On this day, Hao Ren called Shan Zi to him and asked for information about the Taihang Mountains.
"The forces in the Taihang Mountains are strictly divided into three levels: large, medium, and small. We are the smallest force. The previous boss was a second-rate warrior. Medium-sized forces generally have first-rate warriors in charge, with at least a minimum number of people.
More than three hundred, a large force has more than three first-class warriors, or a half-step master, with thousands of members."
"However, among the large forces, there are some top forces. They are the overlords of the Taihang Mountains and are in charge of the order of the Taihang Mountains."
Shanzi said.
"Those top forces are said to have masters in charge, and no one can resist them."
"These forces have their own scope, and within that scope, they will not interfere with the river."
Hearing this, Hao Ren's eyes flashed, "Which forces are the richest and have the most elixirs?"
"Of course it's the top forces."
Shanzi said.
"Where's the one nearby?"
Hao Ren said.
"We are located on the outskirts of the Taihang Mountains. This kind of place is basically full of medium-sized forces, mixed with a large number of small forces. Within a radius of thirty miles, the strongest one is Menghu Village, with 500 members, including two first-class warriors.
, almost reaching the standards of a large force."
Shanzi said, "Before, we had to pay tribute to Tiger Debt every month so that we could survive here."
"There are at least ten like us, so Menghu Village is the richest village nearby."
Hearing this explanation, Hao Ren nodded, "Two first-class warriors, in this case, which one of you is willing to go?"
Hao Ren looked at the other people present. Since they chose to be here, they naturally cannot stay in this small village all the time. Everyone is a first-class warrior, even a half-step master. If they want to progress again, they need resources, and resources will not be drawn from thin air.
To appear, you can only fight for it from other places.
Therefore, this Menghu Village was the first pot of gold for them to enter the Taihang Mountains.
"I'll go ahead. I can handle just two first-rate warriors by myself."
Elder Tiansan spoke.
As a half-step master, he is more than enough to deal with two first-rate warriors.
"Add Ran Yun and Teng Lin. The three of you will go together to prevent any accidents."
Hao Ren said.
At this time, Shanzi was shocked. Hearing their words, he actually wanted to take down the Tiger Village.
"Have you finished paying tribute this month?"
Hao Ren looked at Shan Zi. Hearing this, the other party quickly shook his head, "Not yet, but it's just a matter of these two days. Because the village has been reorganizing in the past few days, it is one day late. If the time is two days later, it is estimated that the Tiger Village will be closed."
Someone will be arranged to come to inquire."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "That's just right, give them a big gift."
"Besides the Tiger Village, are there any other forces?"
Hao Ren asked calmly.
"Yes, fifty miles to the south is the territory of Baiyun Village, which is also a medium-sized force. To the north is Ba Daodong..."
Shanzi mentioned several medium-sized forces in succession.
Hearing this, Hao Ren nodded and looked at the others, "Let's all divide the tasks. Uncle Teng will go to Baiyun Village, and Master Mo from the Overbearing Cave will go..."
Dan Niu and others were also sorted, and Shanzi gasped inwardly.
This is to directly wipe out all the medium-sized forces in the periphery.
If the top forces find out, a war will probably be inevitable.
However, this was Hao Ren's business and he couldn't refuse.
The next day, Shan Zi arranged for someone to take Elder Tian San, Daniu, and Mo Chen towards their goals.
As for Hao Ren, he stayed in the village, along with Yunzhen, the village chief, and Elder Wutu.
The village chief needs to meditate to regain his strength, Elder Wu Tu is not suitable to take action, and Yunzhen is a first-rate warrior, so he is of little use.
Hao Ren needed to improve his strength. During this period of running around, he had no chance to make a move, so he was practicing the martial arts he had mastered.
Menghuzhai
Compared with the small village where Hao Ren was located, the area of this village was many times larger, with many people, various flags and fortresses.
At the gate of Menghu Village, a group of big men looked at the people approaching and frowned, "Stop, who are you?"
"Who is it? The person who sent you on your way."
Elder Tiansan looked at the few people in front of him and spoke indifferently. After the words fell, sword lights appeared in front of his eyes. These people all covered their necks and slowly fell down, with blood flowing all over the ground.
The movement at the gate immediately attracted the attention of the people in the village. Many people looked here and rushed over with weapons in hand.
In the center, two big men narrowed their eyes, seeming to notice something. They quickly walked out of the room and looked at the three people not far away.
"Master, absolute master!"
A thought suddenly arose in the two people's minds, and their eyes became solemn.
As if aware of their gazes, Elder Tiansan, Ran Yun, and Teng Lin all looked over, with a hint of curvature at the corners of their mouths.
"A few of my friends don't know why they came to our Menghu Village. If they are guests, we welcome them in Menghu Village, but if they are here to cause trouble, I, Menghu Village, are not soft persimmons."
The two leaders of Menghu Village looked at Elder Tiansan and others with gloomy eyes and spoke.
Although the other party killed many of their own people, they really didn't want to fight the other party unless they had to.
A group of people surrounded Elder Tiansan and the others, with angry expressions on their faces.
Surrounded by everyone, Elder Tiansan smiled slightly and said, "Our purpose is very simple. I heard that Menghu Village is in charge of everything within thirty miles nearby. The few of us are short of resources, so we want to come to Guibao Land to borrow some."
Hearing this, the two leaders of the Menghu Village flashed their eyes and said in a deep voice, "This is easy to say. We, the Menghu Village, are willing to give our friends five thousand taels of gold to show our sincerity."
Things that can be solved with money are not problems at all.
Hearing this, Elder Tiansan smiled disdainfully, "Five thousand taels of gold is really a generous sum, but you might as well give it all to us."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two leaders of Menghu Village changed, "It seems that some of them are determined to make things difficult for us."
"Although these few are powerful, we are not vegetarians. If we really fight, you won't be able to get away with it..."
However, before they finished speaking, a long sword had already penetrated one person's chest, "There is so much nonsense. I hate it when someone talks nonsense."
The other person's expression changed greatly and he wanted to fight back. Teng Lin laughed ferociously, and his figure moved forward like a cannonball, punching out. The strong punch suppressed him and he could only resist.
