The panther puffed off the hair that hung over his shoulders, and then walked outside: "I'll take my captives now, and I'll see who dares to stop me." ”

Ah Zheng's clenched fist suddenly loosened, and he smiled at the black panther and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”

The panther glared: "I deserve it!"

Ah Zai nodded: "Okay, okay." ”

As he spoke, Ah Zai looked at Chuan.

When Ah Zai looked at Xiang Chuan, the black panther had already prepared and been on guard, but his speed was still slow.

I only heard a loud shout from the side, followed by a flash of cold light, and after the sword, the black panther blinked in disbelief, then covered his neck, and staggered back.

Step by step, blood flowed down from between his fingers.

Tick, tick.

Specks of blood fell to the ground, and as the strength in his body passed, the panther could no longer hold the wound.

His hands fell, he lost his suppressed neck, and with a pop, a bloody arrow flew out.

With a thud, the body of the panther fell to the ground, and there was a wound the size of a baby's lips in his neck.

Chuan waved the copper knife in his hand, looked at the corpse of the black panther on the ground, sighed, and said, "I didn't expect this thing to be so easy to use?"

The other nine patriarchs were stunned, and it took a long time to react, and with a bang, the nine people stood up at the same time and glared at Ah Zai: "Ah Zai! What are you doing!"

Ah Zai yawned, behind him, the sound of the door opening sounded, from the back room, outside the house twenty or thirty sturdy Lihuo clansmen, holding copper spears and bows and arrows in their hands, aimed at the nine patriarchs, Chuan also shook the copper knife in his hand, and looked at it coldly.

Ah Zai held on to the table with one hand and slowly stood up: "What are you doing?" Hehe, don't you know that this is the Lihuo tribe, my territory, and it's not your turn to be arrogant with me! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the body of the panther on the ground.

The grumpy beast blood was about to attack, in his opinion, the big deal was death, and if it really started, the Lihuo tribe would not feel good.

Although the strength of the Lihuo tribe is strong and the combat effectiveness is high, there are nearly 3,000 people in the alliance of their ten tribes, among them, there are more than 1,000 clansmen who can fight.

Not to mention that it hurt the vitality of the Lihuo tribe, at least, it also made Ah Zai feel distressed for a few days.

Just as the beast blood was about to erupt, the eagle next to him slammed on the instep of the beast's blood, and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't be impulsive. ”

Beast Blood was stunned when he heard this, just such a mistaken, Ah Zheng had already laughed: "It seems that all the patriarchs have accepted the decision to divide the prisoners today, okay, in this case, then we are still allies of the Federation, and we are still a family." ”

As he spoke, Ah Zai shook his head, and the two Lihuo people went up to take the body of the black panther away.

Ah Zai said to Ogga: "Later, you will take the hussars to wipe out the Blackwater tribe and bring their people back, understand?"

Oga nodded reluctantly, his face extremely ugly.

The other nine patriarchs also dared to be angry.

Ah Zai waved his hand, asked the clansmen who rushed in to put down their weapons first, then sat down, looked up at the nine patriarchs, and said, "Everyone, sit down first, I just finished talking about the prisoners, and there is one more thing to discuss with you." ”

The patriarchs already showed some dissatisfaction on their faces.

Ah Zai didn't care at all, but said: "Recently, the currency has not been easy to manufacture, so I plan to adopt a tax system when the patriarchs use currency to trade in the future." ”

Everyone was stunned: "Collect taxes?"

Ah Zai nodded: "That's right, for example, when buying and selling goods, all the patriarchs have to take out an extra 10% of the currency to make taxes, and it's not much, it's a little hard work for the people of the Lihuo clan, what do you think of the patriarchs?"

The beast blood couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, if it weren't for the eagle next to him pressing him desperately, I'm afraid that the beast blood would have turned its face a long time ago.

Of course, the result of turning the other cheek is likely to be killed on the spot.

Ah Zai didn't pay any attention to the anger on the faces of the various patriarchs, and still said to himself: "By the way, in addition to taxes, every month in the future, we will also trouble all the patriarchs to pay us some currency." ”

Patriarch Lin frowned: "Why do you still have to pay it?"

Ah Zai spread out his arms all the time: "It's okay if you don't pay, but the next time the patriarchs have a battle with the enemies of other mountain ranges, don't think about coming to us for help." ”

"You !!"

Ah Zai had an indifferent expression: "As long as you pay this currency, our Lihuo tribe will provide you with protection." Each tribe is ten currencies per month, and the tribesmen of each tribe are probably more than two hundred but less than three hundred, and they don't pay much every month, a total of three thousand currencies. In addition, winter has passed, and the weather is warmer, so when the weather is warm, if you want to come to the Eastern Plains to hunt, we are also welcome, but only if you pay the currency. ”

The mountain patriarch had a gloomy face: "Is it to pay another currency?"

Ah Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's not much, ten coins a day for one clan, one hundred for ten clansmen, and three thousand for thirty days." By the way, there are so many tribes in your tribe now, if there are only ten tribesmen, the hunting will definitely not be available, so let's make it cheaper for you. If the monthly conservation fee and hunting fee are combined, even if you have 8,000 yuan for one tribe, how about it?"

The patriarchs' lungs are about to explode.

Under normal circumstances, his tribe can harvest about 20,000 to 30,000 coins a month, and on average, each clan member can't get much.

At this time, you will have to pay 8,000, not counting the taxes paid when buying and selling goods.

Now the clansmen have developed the habit of buying and selling goods in the Lihuo tribe, and if this is calculated, in a month, half of the currency will be gone.

In the past, everyone could still save a little currency in their hands, but now let alone saving currency, it would be good to be able to take care of the currency enough to spend.

Seeing that all the patriarchs didn't speak, Ah Zheng looked around and said, "What's the matter, everyone, are you not satisfied?"

The patriarchs' eyebrows jumped, and the corners of their mouths twitched: "Full, satisfied." ”

Ah Zai laughed: "It's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied, then in this way, starting tomorrow, I will send Ah Yu to take people to your tribe to collect money, do you think it's okay?"

Things have developed to this point, and even if the patriarchs are dissatisfied, they can't say anything.

For a while, everyone gritted their teeth, almost hating Ah Zheng to death.

It's a stupid and demented smile, and he looks like a stupid child of a landlord's family.

When they came, the ten patriarchs were happy, and when they left, they were nine patriarchs who were depressed and eager to crush their back molars.

Ah Zheng, who had been sent off in the past, was standing in the middle of the valley with Mulian at this time, shaking their heads as they looked at the buildings lining the tribe.

Ah Zai held the lotus in one hand and looked up at the buildings in the tribe.

"These things take up too much space and don't look good at all. Ah Zai said with a sigh.

Mu Lian made a little bird and said, "Compared to today's events, this is nothing. Now, the people in the tribe believe in you, and outside the tribe, the nine tribes have also expressed their submission. Even if the thief comes back to life, he is not our opponent. ”

The corners of Ah Zheng's mouth hooked: "Ji thief, he is in the past, and now, my goal is to have a bigger territory and more clansmen." ”

Mulian was stunned.

Ah Zai let go of Mu Lian and clenched his fists: "Since I am the patriarch, I must not be like Ji Thief, who obviously has great strength, but is only nesting in such a small place in the Eastern Plains, I want to conquer outward, to conquer larger territories, women, territories, all are my goals." ”

When Mu Lian heard these words, she felt uneasy for a while, grabbed Ah Zheng's hand and said, "Then, at that time, will you not want me?"

Ah Zai smiled back and said to Mulian: "You will always be my favorite person!"

Hearing this, Mulian breathed a sigh of relief.

Ah Zai took out his hand, pointed to a building in front of him, and said: "Ji Thief once told me about a house called the Imperial Palace, saying that it is a place where only the king of all people can live, Mu Lian, what do you think, how about I build a palace in this place?"
