The cultivators of the four Kunlun Mountains could not be regarded as robbers in the strict sense, but they could also be called bodyguards to avoid the annihilation of the entire army in order to avoid the passing merchants from encountering robbers.

It's just that it sounds good, but it's not so good-looking in behavior.

Looking at this situation, it was not the first time that Hu Jinqiu had dealt with these cultivators on Kunlun Mountain for the first time, so his words were not as submissive as he was to the immortals who did not eat the fireworks of the world, but he was quite tough when he heard the meaning of his words, and most of the time it seemed that he was bargaining with the other party.

This is like a businessman who runs a business in the Central Plains, conscientiously doing business in the local area, the business is big, the people are sensible, the taxes that should be handed over to the imperial court and the filial piety to the local chief official are a lot, although the relationship between the two sides is not very harmonious all the year round, but the face is always passable, the government for the businessman's business is also regarded as collecting money to do things, and taking care of it is quite appropriate, the two sides have been in peace for many years, and one year the government suddenly notified the businessman that the tax money set before did not count, You have to give, the merchant said how much you want, and the government said I pinched my fingers and multiplied it by ten.

The merchant said that you are poor and crazy, if you don't slaughter me, see who can pay you taxes without me, the government said that you don't do this, I can't do it.

It all depends on how big the businessman's business is and how much GDP it drives? How many jobs have been created? How much has the local economy prospered? How many people were fed?

Your government is supported by the money I earn, what's wrong? Is it really annoying me that it would do you any good to pick and choose?

In fact, these principles are also applicable to modern society, such as a certain mile, such as a certain news, which is basically the same way.

As long as you have enough social wealth, you will naturally have the confidence to bargain with anyone.

In terms of the current situation, it seems that it is difficult for the four cultivators of Kunlun Mountain to let Hu Jinqiu swagger over from here without getting the money, because they have absolute force in their hands, and looking at their expressions and demeanor, it really does not seem to be fake, and they do not take these bodyguards and warriors of Hu Jinqiu's team in their eyes, too, as long as they are mountain people, their perception of ordinary people is probably the difference between ordinary ants and slightly stronger ants.

Will the dragon of the candle care whether it is an ordinary person or an immortal cultivator who comes to Buzhou Mountain? Actually, for him, it makes no difference.

But if it is really forcibly suppressed by force, these four people are not too good to do it, after all, it is the God of Wealth, and it is best not to do it if you can say it well, no matter in that dynasty, harmony can make money, right? No one wants to do that thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, it is too much to gain and lose too much.

Hu Jinqiu's side, on the one hand, is worried that he has been going back and forth for several months, and finally ends up losing money and making money, and he actually wants to refuse to pay this additional toll, but on the other hand, he is really worried that he will not have the protection of Kunlun Mountain, and he will lead the team to run the business in the future, but he is afraid that he will tremble, in case he really wants to meet a group of horse thieves or bandits, not to mention the goods, he has to explain his more than 100 catties in the Western Regions, where birds don't. Those people don't tell you anything about morality. Both sides have the heart to have a good chat, and then there is only the process of bargaining, but the four people in Kunlun Mountain have time to wait, Hu Jinqiu They can't always spend it here, how long to stay, it can be converted into white silver.

At this time, Meng Ran appeared.

In fact, really speaking, Hu Jinqiu's character is good, just look at the fact that he immediately wanted Meng Ran to leave when he recognized Meng Ran, and didn't want to implicate her, obviously he didn't have any bad intentions for Meng Ran, as for the middle when he was a translator, Hu Jinqiu also tried his best to convey the words gently, and conveyed Meng Ran's words very tactfully, otherwise with the temperament of those people, I am afraid that the two sides would have fought a long time ago.

It didn't do Hu Jinqiu any good for Hu Jinqiu to fight between the two sides, no matter which side lost or won, he didn't have any good fruit to eat in the face of these cultivators.

Hu Jinqiu's heart is actually more biased towards Meng Ran, walking alone in this Western Regions, seeing an old man who only has one side, and being able to help him with such an ancient way, the most important thing is that she is a female doll, which is not easy.

Just rush this, Hu Jinqiu is a little bit of a desire to calm things down, it's a big deal to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, this time it's like this, next time, after all, this is not a hammer deal, there is no need to involve this little girl.

I just didn't expect this little girl to be really straight and cute, not only did she not leave, but she also had a bit of a posture of managing to the end.

Since the matter has come to this, Hu Jinqiu doesn't care whether he is in a hurry or not, so he told Meng Ran the story from beginning to end in detail, and finally showed a standard commercial smile, smiled at Meng Ran and said: "Girl, thank you very much for helping me, but we really have to come by ourselves in this matter, you, go back quickly, if you really want to find me, then go to the south of the original town, find the Chamber of Commerce of the Central Plains, and then you can find out where I am, we will see you in the Central Plains when the time comes, I invited you to my house, what do you think? ”

Yes, there is really nothing Meng Ran can do now.

She turned slightly in mid-air, and looked at the mountain bag not far away, with a helpless expression.

The three of them were originally prepared to deal with the robbery, Meng Ran first tested the depth of the other party with words, and really didn't understand that Meng Ran was just flying if he was a girl, it would be better if the other side couldn't fly, if he could fly, Qi Zhen and Li Qiang in the distance could take advantage of his unpreparedness to raid and catch him off guard, don't dare to say anything else, it shouldn't be a big problem to catch two captives.

After all, it seems that these four people are not strong, but they are boring enough to rob ordinary caravans.

I never thought that the way the three of them thought from the beginning was wrong, and they didn't rob at all, or collect some protection fees that were not negotiated.

No wonder I heard that Meng Ran was going to rob the other side and reacted so much, the people were originally to prevent the caravan from being robbed.

This help, I feel that I am not a person inside and out, which made Meng Ran muttered in his heart for a while, and said in his heart that next time I really can't say what Qi Zhen says, it is not reliable.

Meng Ran's helpless expression did not receive feedback from Qi Zhen in the distance, so she glanced in Qi Zhen's direction, turned her head to Hu Jinqiu and said: "I know, Brother Hu, don't worry, I'm very strong, since I have encountered this kind of thing, there is no reason to ignore it, we must let them say that they are ugly, otherwise wouldn't this money be in vain?" ”

Meng Ran said, jumping down from the flying sword, but the flying sword was still suspended in the air, and it was not received by Meng Ran.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, she startled the four people, and for a moment she felt like she was facing a great enemy, and she thought that Meng Ran was preparing to make a move.

Meng Ran smiled generously at the other party, then waved his hand and said, "You guys chat, I'll see the excitement here, don't rob or rob." ”

Hu Jinqiu also gave two additional explanations to the other party, which roughly meant that this was a distant sister who went to the mountains to practice immortal law at home, and she came here to play with herself, don't mind nonsense.

The other party was skeptical, but anyway, as long as they didn't get into trouble and delayed the business, their attention wouldn't be too much on this girl.

It is not too much to pay attention to, but Meng Ran's appearance obviously still caused a certain amount of pressure on the four people, and the eyes of the four people always glanced at Meng Ran's body inadvertently, and it seemed that they still had a deep fear of this sword immortal who was flying all over the sky with a sword.

There are businessmen who are familiar with Hu Jinqiu to explain to Meng Ran, the immortal master, what Hu Jinqiu talked to the other party, and the mood of these businessmen and bodyguards who watched was really up and down, from the beginning when they felt that they had met a savior, they poured a scoop of cold water and found that it was worse, and now it has become a misunderstanding, and the expression is a little more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

But there is no doubt that they can't complain about people like Meng Ran who can fly with a sword, even if there is something unconvincing in their hearts, they can only hold back, otherwise you can't stand it if people throw stones on top of their heads.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, although everyone's mood was very urgent, but in this state now, no matter how anxious it is, you can only wait for the result silently, fortunately, things are not without room for relaxation, presumably in addition to the fact that the trade of this trade route does have great benefits, and Meng Ran's sudden appearance here is not unrelated.

In the end, the four people who received the protection money were still not satisfied, but they reluctantly accepted Hu's offer.

Hu Jinqiu didn't have to be competitive, he generously took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the other party, Meng Ran glanced at it from a distance, and couldn't help but smack his tongue at the number on it.

It's just a profitable deal, Meng Ran thought in his heart whether to pull Qi Zhen with him in the future, and find a mountain to be the king of the mountain, collect protection fees or something, anyway, the strength is strong enough.

It's really reliable to say this, with Qi Zhen's temperament, he really did this, after all, who has a grudge against money.

"Follow Hu Jinqiu, find a way to set clues, the captain and I will chase those four people, and we will return within a day." Qi Zhen's voice came from his heart,

Meng Ran nodded secretly, maybe it wasn't obvious when there were many people, but after there were only three people left in the team, the problem of his weakness became more and more prominent, and now it seems that in the businessman team with Hu Jinqiu, it is the choice that will not drag down others, not to mention that he can still inquire about the news.
