Chapter 776: Steamed Cheese (Eleven)
The ruined city is not too far from the range of Zhongdu, about the border of Gusen, and then it is almost a hundred miles away. This place can be regarded as between demon beasts and human races, and there are often demon beasts and human races. However, due to the danger, there are no human towns and villages in it.
Now the appearance of the ruined city has made both sides stand on the sidelines. Everything is good and avoid harm, and if there is a way to reduce the danger, why don't they choose it?
The Elixir Pavilion had received Shi Yu's orders before, and Elder Yang led the team and brought a group of people over first.
How many pairs of eyes in Zhongdu stared at the elixir hall, and when they saw that the elixir hall had moved, some of the bold ones followed.
As the saying goes, starve the faint-hearted to death and support the courageous. They will fight for it, and maybe good luck will come to them.
However, even if the Elixir Pavilion was dispatched, it was not able to negotiate with the demon beast immediately when it arrived in the ruined city. The ruined city is now half of the human race and half of the monsters, and the two sides are facing each other, and there have been many conflicts, but there are no casualties.
As a strong person in his infancy, Elder Yang was an elder in the Lancang Sect in the past, and few people would not give him face. Now seeing that this demon beast is stubborn, I also feel a little angry in my heart.
Fortunately, he soon got the news that Shi Yu was going to bring someone over, so he felt a little more at ease.
"When the girl came, what about the others? For example, the Lin family and the Meng family, they didn't say anything?" asked Elder Yang.
"They only sent juniors to check on them. The messenger replied.
Elder Yang frowned, feeling a little disdainful in his heart. When they wanted to divide the profits, all the lions opened their mouths, and when they wanted to contribute, they stepped forward for fear. Who are these people!
Five days later, Shi Yu came to the ruined city. Followed by Jin Ming, Feng Luo and Shi Jin. The others didn't bring much, and the elixir hall was taken care of by Ling Xiaoxiao.
When I came to the ruined city, there were already many people in the city at this time. The ruined city is not particularly large, but it is not so much a city as a piece of land enclosed by earthen walls.
The city was empty, and there weren't even decent streets. Elder Yang took the lead first and asked people to build houses. Others didn't want to bother, and most of them left their tents open.
So when Shi Yu came, what he saw was a group of people camping. And the demon beasts on the opposite side are clearly separated from them, each occupying half of the city.
"You're finally here. Elder Yang was a little happy, "Those demon beasts on the other side are really hateful, I tried to go to the door to find them three or four times, but they were all turned away. ”
Shi Yu was silent, this was something she had discussed with the old patriarch before. If the two sides negotiate too easily, they will inevitably arouse suspicion.
"It's okay, you've done your best. Shi Yu said gratefully, but when she saw the house still under construction behind her, she asked, "How long will it take?"
"It's been a few days now, so it should be almost done. Elder Yang said, "But the conditions here are poor, and there may not be a way to do it like in Zhongdu." ”
"As long as there is a place to put your feet. Shi Yu didn't care.
The group packed up their belongings and moved into a makeshift wooden house.
"Girl, do you want to meet like that demon beast?" asked Elder Yang.
"Not necessarily. Shi Yu refused: "The Terran has me here, Elder Yang, you discuss the patrol matters, and Jin Ming, you take people to plan the city." The second Fengluo is in charge of taxes. As for the demon beasts on the other side, leave them alone for now. ”
"Isn't it a bad idea to collect the tax now?"
"It's okay, those who pay the taxes will be protected by us. It's okay if you don't pay it, just ask for more blessings on your own. Shi Yu didn't feel that as a fellow clan, she should take on the responsibility of saving everyone.
As much as you give, you should receive.
"I see. Feng Luo nodded, "How much is the right amount of tax?"
"Take a cut of the price you sold. Shi Yu didn't want to exploit too ruthlessly, "You can discuss the specifics yourself." "This kind of thing, naturally you have to find the most professional person.
"Good. ”
After several people discussed, Feng Luo asked again: "Then we have to collect this tax first." Otherwise, when he doesn't finish the transaction, we won't have a place to find someone to go to. If I received it in advance, they didn't sell it, and we could still return it to them. ”
"This can be there. Others agreed.
——
After the Terrans knew that they also had strong people in charge, they all became emotional. Before, it was because they were afraid of the strong people in the demon beasts, they have always been cautious, and now they have the opportunity to vent their evil anger.
But just when they wanted to provoke the demon beast, they heard the news that they had to pay taxes.
"Pay the taxes?" someone made a fuss, "This is not his elixir hall or anything, why should we pay him?"
Shi Jin, who came to collect the money, saw that they all refused, and there was no anger on his face, but he took people away as usual.
Most of them are reluctant to pay this money, but there are still a small number of people who do.
They knew in their hearts that if you want to cool off under a big tree, you have to pay a price.
In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Jin and Feng Luo took the small number of people who had paid the taxes to the newly built simple bunk in the Elixir Hall.
"It's all in our hands, so don't hesitate to find us if you have something. "Feng Luo has done similar things before, and now he can do it easily.
"It's nature. "Okay, okay. "Thank you to this senior. ”“……”
All kinds of words to get closer to each other are different, and those who ****** the tax are protected, and those who don't pay the tax can only watch from the sidelines. Some are still wavering, but eventually want to wait and see.
After a few more days, the city was relatively peaceful. The people who didn't pay the taxes looked at those who did, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in their words.
"It's all wronged. Someone deliberately said, "Those demon beasts are afraid of the human race, and it is impossible for them to do anything to the human race." It is you cowards who will be deceived. ”
His tone made many people not very happy to hear it, and some people who paid the tax couldn't help but regret it in their hearts.
But as soon as the man's words fell, a cry came from the sky, and then a reminder of the huge flying demon beast swooped down from the sky, seeing that it was about to capture the human race below, at this time, a vine flew out from the side, and knocked the demon beast away.
"Finally, a demon beast came, and it was still about to become a baby. Feng Luo had already rushed out with a happy face.
When he came, Shi Yu said that he would use whoever caught the demon beast. Now this demon beast that is close to its infancy, although its cultivation is not as high as his, its inner pill should be able to increase his cultivation a little.
