Chapter 714 The new rules of the Taihang Mountains
Half a day passed in Black Bear Village, and Ran Yun and others waiting outside were a little anxious and wanted to know how the conversation went.
"They can't have a trap, right? Do they want to keep the village chief and all of them behind in one fell swoop?"
Ran Yun whispered softly.
"If they really have the ability to quietly deal with the three grandmasters in a short period of time, they won't need to negotiate with us. They can just wait and see."
Elder Wutu smiled dumbly and spoke nonchalantly.
If you want to kill the village chief and the others in a short period of time, unless a grand master takes action, where can a grand master come from in the Taihang Mountains?
They were talking outside when they suddenly saw the village chief, Hao Ren and others walking out.
"How's the negotiation going?"
Seeing Hao Ren and the others coming back, Ran Yun asked quickly.
Hao Ren showed a smile and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. Anyway, we won't lose."
With that said, he led everyone back.
In Black Bear Village, Dongfang Ting and others were sitting there, frowning. They could not say that they suffered too much in this negotiation, but in the future, a giant force would appear in the Taihang Mountains.
Hao Ren has many conditions, but the most important ones are just a few. In the future, as long as the caravan passing through the Taihang Mountains pays a part of the protection fee, no force is allowed to block or harass them.
Of course, it is calculated based on the value of the goods each time it passes. If your goods are worth 10,000 taels, you only need to pay 500 taels to pass, with a 5% commission.
Compared with the profit, it is completely within the acceptance range of the other party.
This is also beneficial to the image of the Taihang Mountains, so Dongfangting and others agreed. When the time comes, the protection fees paid by the caravan will be handed over to the four of them for distribution.
Each major village will be distributed layer by layer according to their size. Because once this rule is formed, there will be at least hundreds of caravans passing through the Taihang Mountains every day. According to a family of 500 taels, that is 50,000 taels of silver. Although the Taihang Mountains have
There are many robbers, but this is still a considerable number.
Secondly, Hao Ren and the others will occupy a site in the core. After discussion, they settled on a treasure land with beautiful mountains and clear waters, which they called Wuya Peak.
When Hao Ren and his gang are established, the place will be completely lively. Of course, Dongfang Ting and the others have not gained anything. At least Hao Ren promised them that if there is a problem in the Taihang Mountains in the future, they will take action. This means that everyone is willing
Stand on the same line.
"Their current demands are not too difficult, but I am worried that they are not greedy enough and will have other ideas about us when they become stronger in the future."
Canglong said.
He firmly insisted that he wanted to have a fierce battle with the opponent. Only by completely killing the opponent could the Taihang Mountains return to its previous rules.
"We'll talk about the future later. The other party will make progress. Don't we ourselves make progress? If we really fight, it's not that we can't defeat the other party, but the price is beyond our ability to bear. All of us here, to be honest, can't survive
It's a good thing if one or two come down, but if it doesn't work well, everyone will die together."
Dongfang Ting shook his head and said.
"During this period, I also checked their origins. Do you know who they are?"
Hearing this, Yan Baichuan frowned, "Who are they? I have never seen this group of people among the surrounding countries."
"The prince was kidnapped in the early days of Dongli. You should have vaguely heard about this matter. They were the ones who did it. It is said that there were also royal princesses and even the little girl of the Luo family. It shocked everyone. Later, the Dongli royal family compromised and used something.
We made an exchange with the other party and saved the lives of three people."
Dongfang Ting said.
'This group of people are really crazy to attack Prince Dongli. If the Dongli royal family really uses their secrets, these people will probably be doomed.'
Canglong was a little surprised.
"Yes, these people are crazy. They don't care about anything. Once we have a confrontation with them, we will be the ones who suffer."
Dongfang Ting said, "Since these people want to take root in the Taihang Mountains, then give them territory. I would like to see what they are going to do."
Everyone else nodded when they heard Dongfang Ting's explanation. At this time, Canglong looked at each other and suddenly asked, "Brother Dongfang, there is something I don't know whether I should ask?"
"Brother Canglong, please tell me."
Dongfang Ting said with a smile.
"If you fight that old man over at Hao Ren, how sure are you of winning?"
Canglong asked.
Hearing this, the leader of Qianxun Village, who had been silent all the time, looked at Dongfang Ting. She collided with the village chief, and she could vaguely sense that the other party's strength was slightly higher than hers. If it was really a fight,
The most likely outcome is that you fall and the other party is seriously injured.
"I can't say for sure. After all, we haven't played against each other before. It's probably a tie."
Dongfang Ting said.
Everyone was shocked. Sure enough, this guy was the deepest and most powerful, and could compete with the terrifying guy on the other side.
"The things here are over, and it's time for me to go back. When there is news from Hao Ren, I will go to his new residence for a walk."
The leader of Qianxun Village said.
After saying that, the figure disappeared. When Yan Baichuan saw this, he also left. Canglong was not willing to stay any longer and said goodbye to Dongfang Ting.
A group of grandmasters left, and other first-class warriors and half-step masters also left one after another. Now that the peace talks between the two parties have been completed, they don't have to worry about being killed.
Only the leader of Black Bear Village looked at his own village with a tearless look on his face, and the whole village was completely destroyed.
On the way back, Dongfang Yan looked at her father and asked doubtfully, "Dad, is there really nothing we can do against that group of people?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Ting chuckled and touched his daughter's head, "It's not difficult to deal with them, it just takes a little time. Moreover, the three of us have different thoughts. If we fight with each other now, we will suffer a loss.
After all, it’s us.”
Hearing her father's words, Dongfang Yan's eyes lit up, "Dad, are you going to break through to the Grand Master soon?"
Dongfang Ting smiled bitterly and said, "You think it's so easy to break through to the Grand Master. I still have a long way to go before I reach that level, but soon, I will be able to take that half-step forward."
At the end of his speech, a light appeared in his eyes.
He has been stuck at the peak level of a grandmaster for many years, and his accumulation is beyond the imagination of many people.
News about the negotiations on the Taihang Mountains spread quickly, shocking all the countries in the world.
None of them expected that the final outcome would be a reconciliation between the two parties, and Hao Ren and the others would become the largest force in the Taihang Mountains.
However, what was even more shocking was that as the two parties reconciled, a newly formulated rule was spread in all directions, mainly targeting the trade channels of various countries.
After learning that in the future, you only need to pay a 5% fee to pass through the Taihang Mountains, and there will be no danger, many businessmen were skeptical. However, the temptation was too great, and there was no shortage of people who would be the first to try it. Soon
, a businessman formed a team, arranged a large number of bodyguards, and entered the Taihang Mountains fearfully.
At this time, they suddenly discovered that the corpses on the road had been cleared away at some point. In the middle section, a checkpoint appeared. Several houses, a wine shop, and an inn were even built around it.
In front of the checkpoint, there was a man sitting. He had good features and no evil aura.
Next to it, there were many big men standing, all dressed neatly and holding various weapons in their hands, but they all looked at the approaching caravan with smiles on their faces. Of course, in the eyes of those in the caravan, this
He just smiles ferociously, as if the big bad wolf sees the little white rabbit.
The leader of the caravan cautiously stepped forward and looked at each other, "Who are you heroes?"
"Don't worry, my friend, we won't do anything to you. It's just a new rule in the Taihang Mountains. Passing here requires you to pay a five-point toll."
At this time, the handsome man sitting behind the table smiled and spoke.
"We only collect this money once, and you can travel through the entire Taihang Mountains. No one will dare to ask you for tolls in the future."
As he spoke, he took out a sign with two big characters on it, "Taihang"
"This is an order jointly issued by the four major forces, so you can rest assured."
Hearing this, the businessman immediately took out a money bag from himself and said with a smile on his face, "Everyone, I am transporting refined salt and clothes, which are probably worth ten thousand taels of silver. Here are one thousand taels. Give them to you."
To all you heroes."
Taking the money bag, the man smiled slightly and said, "Wait a moment, we need to check."
As he said this, he motioned to the people around him to check it out.
The merchants were unable to stop them, and the bodyguards did not dare to move. The bandits in the Taihang Mountains were ferocious, and everyone knew that resistance would only lead to death.
They thought these people would take the opportunity to steal some, but who knew, they actually just checked and were very careful not to damage their goods.
"It's really refined salt and clothes."
After receiving the reply, the handsome man smiled and returned the five hundred taels to them, "We also have rules in how we do things. We said we only need five points, but there are only five points."
The businessman was stunned. This was the first time he saw such a well-behaved bandit.
The other party wrote something on the table, then printed a seal, and then handed it to the other party, "This is the pass, take it. If something happens in the Taihang Mountains, take this out. It means that you have already
Pay tolls. Anyone who dares to embarrass you is an enemy of the four major forces, and the entire Taihang Mountains will not let them go."
"By the way, if you don't bring any goods with you when you come back, you can pass for free. If you do, you will need to pay another fee based on the value of the goods."
After taking the so-called pass handed over by the other party, the businessman felt that his head was dizzy. He had never seen such polite bandits in his own country, let alone the Taihang bandits who had a notorious reputation.
However, with this pass, they walked forward and saw many bandits along the way. However, when he took out the pass, these bandits actually did not attack them again and passed through the Taihang Mountains safely.
pulse.
This group of people felt as if they were all dreaming.
However, the leading merchant was excited and quickly sold the goods he brought. The goods worth ten thousand taels of silver changed hands for almost twenty thousand taels of silver.
