Chapter 1614: Another Vote
People came to Quwu City in high spirits, but they didn't see the so-called four-city co-lord they wanted to see.
Even, they didn't even see the city lords of the four cities.
However, they were still convinced of the matter of the four city co-lords.
Just one point, the new city lord, the original deputy city lord, has now changed his name to He Quwu, if there is no other person's order, how can he change it?
If you don't see it, you don't see it, they are just here to try their luck, whether people see it or not is someone else's business, whether they come or not is a matter of their sincerity.
People can't be seen, they can't help but come!
Not only come, but also gifts are not missing.
Everything was fine.
However, when He Quwu said that the trade tax would be doubled from today onwards and the city tax needed to be paid, it was completely fried!
"City Lord He, what do you mean by this?!"
A mid-Jindan city lord stood up and said.
"On the face of it. He Quwu said lightly.
"You add so many taxes at once, how can we live?!"
"How do you live, what does it matter to me?"
"You...... Don't push us!"
"What can you do?"
He Quwu sneered again and again: "Do you really take yourself seriously?
As soon as these words came out, the city lord in the early stage of Jindan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word.
yes, what can they do?
If it had been before, although the four cities were an offensive and defensive alliance, they also had conflicts of interest with each other.
Therefore, their most effective means of threat is for me to go to another city lord and become another city lord's subordinate.
However, now that the four cities are in charge, this threat is completely useless.
You say you're going to get out of it?
Okay, you go.
Even if these four cities don't retaliate against you, just don't let the people in the city go to school and don't provide protection, those bandits and sects around them can swallow them alive.
There is no diplomacy in a weak city!
If you're not strong, then you're not qualified to shout at you!
Many people gritted their teeth and said to themselves, it seems that they can only choose to go from the deep mountains.
Although it is dangerous, it is not dangerous every time, so take a gamble!
Soon they will learn, though, that their cleverness is useless.
......
Of course, in addition to these surrounding city lords, of course, the people of Hengqin City also heard the news, and in addition to scolding the street while scolding, they also chose to take a riskier approach.
After all, no one wants to give money to someone else for no reason.
Changjia is such a person.
He counted left and right, and felt that it was very inappropriate.
So, he gritted his teeth and prepared to take an adventurous journey.
Although his shipment is a very valuable cargo - a batch of alchemy raw materials is a task designated by Hengqin City, but he also has to make money.
Therefore, he invited five cultivators from the late foundation building period to serve as his guards.
He thought very simply, in the late stage of the five foundation building periods, coupled with the reputation of their caravans, as well as the official identity of Hengqin City, ordinary bandits should not be so blind.
It's still worth the gamble.
Someone said, since it is such a precious thing, why not let the cultivators of the Jindan stage fly over directly?
Do you think, a golden pill period flying around in the airspace over other people's cities, can other people's cities promise you?
It's as if people don't have a golden pill period.
Therefore, unless it is something that is particularly special and urgent, and will be fatal in a while, it is usually their caravans that carry out transportation.
Of course, their caravans are not all ordinary people, and they all have the ability to refine qi at the very least.
The group was on guard all the way, and walked along the gap between Funing City and Nanshan City to the opposite side.
Based on their previous experience, bandits are the least numerous here.
Walking, walking, safe all the way.
Slowly, everyone's vigilance slowly relaxed.
Why, it's past the place where the most bandits usually occur.
"It's easy!" Chang Jia said with a smile.
"Yes, that four-city co-lord is really not very good at managing the city, and if he suddenly increases so many taxes, who will go to their city again. The old butler next to him nodded and said.
"I kind of think that this time the escort team is too much invited. Chang Jia said casually.
In the later stages of the five foundation building periods, I would have known that I wouldn't have invited so much, and this expense alone would be a lot.
Fortunately, this is also less than that double the tax, and it is still earned.
And at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard someone exclaim: "What's that?!"
"What's the matter??!"
Chang Jia frowned in his heart.
He said in his heart that he had met a bandit?
No, he remembered that there was not a good place to intercept in front of him.
He stepped out of the carriage, looked at it, and suddenly, his heart was groaning!
What's going on!
Now in front of him was a large canyon, a road he had walked before, and there had never been such a place!
And that's not the most shocking thing to him, because there are pure stone fortresses in the middle of the canyon and on the cliffs on both sides.
Look at the thickness of the stone, this scale, it's almost catching up with the defense power of some small towns!
What is it?!
And at this moment, a large number of people rushed out of these fortresses and surrounded them.
And the cliffs and fortresses have also opened small doors one after another, and inside are dazzling flying swords, aiming at them!
They're being targeted!
"Robbery!"
A bandit-like man with a big shoulder and a round waist stood up and said coldly: "Want money or death?"
"This is the master. Chang Jia didn't think too much about it, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "We are a caravan in Hengqin City, and we hope that the master will raise his noble hand." ”
As he spoke, he took out a bag and handed it over, hoping to spend money to buy peace.
He didn't want to fight until he had to.
Not to mention anything else, if the herbs are damaged, then his loss is not half a star!
"Get out!" the bandit leader slapped the bag handed over by Chang Jia: "Two roads, either leave the goods behind, or leave all the people with the goods!"
"This boss is too much!" Chang Jia's face sank, and the guards behind him also burst out one after another, hoping to deter these bandits.
However.
The bandit leader sneered, and a momentum belonging to the Jindan period also erupted: "Since that's the case, then I thought you had chosen the second path!"
Changjia was stupid in an instant!
Jindan period?!
Why did Jin Dan choose to be a bandit?!
What's wrong with the world?!
Isn't it better to do something in a good Jindan period than to be a bandit?
There is no nonsense, the bandits are poignantly and boastfully tying up everyone in the caravan!
