Chapter 134 Cooperation and Declaration of War
Helianhong and his twelve guests quickly arrived at the border cliff. Looking at the dense woods under the cliff, the young man murmured to himself: "Is this right here?"
One of his strong disciples replied in a deep voice: "Master, this cliff is the border between us and Yinren Village."
The young man nodded and chuckled: "I would like to see what kind of people are coming to negotiate?"
The Jingzhuang disciple was silent for a long time and said: "Yinren Village has always had a good reputation in the world over the years!"
He Lianhong naturally knew that the reputation mentioned here referred more to Yinren Village's status in the world.
When he was very young, he vaguely remembered that Yinren Village at that time could not be compared with Tiexin Village. Whether it was the support of the Helian family or the secret help from the Lu family, in the first few battles with the opponent, Tiexin Village has achieved good results.
It's just that Yinren Village is just like his name, he knows how to tolerate, never provokes any forces, and has good relations with several other forces among the six forces. Whether it is the iron ore trade in Hongyan Town or the fish and shrimp trade in Chunfeng Town, Yinren Village is an important trading partner of these forces. This also won him relatively stable diplomatic relations.
About twenty years ago, Yinren Village established a salary list organization. At that time, Helian Tiexin once said that this organization would not last for a year because the overwhelming tasks would overwhelm any armed force, and no force could afford this kind of armed force. of losses.
However, Yinren Village has done it. Through the salary list, they have gathered a large amount of money and resources, and have a strong training system to continuously provide fresh blood to the salary list organization.
The influence of Yinren Village was also growing, until more than ten years ago, a commission appeared in the salary list, which shocked the entire Luoye County. It turned out to be the assassination of Ji Shenfu.
Just when the six forces were about to see the joke in Yinren Village, it was reported that someone had taken over the task, and soon after, news came out that Ji Shenfu had been assassinated. From then on, even Ji Shenfu, the overlord of Luoye County, was often accompanied by martial arts masters as shadow guards.
Since then, no one has questioned the deterrence and credibility of the salary list. The salary list has truly succeeded in providing a platform for all parties to solve problems that they would not otherwise be able to do.
At the same time, the intelligence organization in Yinren Village has also become the most powerful intelligence system in the entire Luoye County. At this time, Helian Tiexin, who was belatedly aware of the situation, remembered that he asked Shui Yuntian to set up his own intelligence system.
He Lianhong glanced back behind him. He knew that not far behind him, there was a tall, thin, middle-aged man, watching every move here.
The young man knew that Shui Yuntian was not from his side, and he was not even sure whether he was from his father's side, but sometimes he had to admire this man's talent, which was indeed much better than his own father's.
After retracting his thoughts, the young man waved to everyone and said, "Go down and have a look."
…
He Lianhong led twelve Mangzhijing disciples to the open space under the cliff. Soon they found the Qingzhu people waiting here.
Yi Xifeng felt relieved when he saw the thin, dark boy standing among a dozen strong men.
"Who is here? Why are you trespassing on our Yinren Village territory?" Qingzhu said coldly.
A burly doorman sneered and said: "An old guy with two little kids. Is this the person who came to negotiate? Are all the gentlemen in Yinren Village dead? It's the turn of the old man and the children to come forward?"
"That's right, will it be the young lady who will show up in the future? If Yinren Village is really so short of people, tell me, Uncle Li Hu, for the sake of the young lady, I can help you!" said Here, a group of men started to get up and down obscenely.
He Lianhong naturally knew the virtues of these disciples, and they were used to following him wildly in Tiexin Village.
Looking at the old man opposite, the young man felt a little strange. Why couldn't he feel the fluctuation of the other man's inner energy at all?
There are only two possibilities for this situation, either the old man himself is an ordinary person, has no cultivation level, and is just here to negotiate. Either this person's cultivation level is much higher than his own.
"My dear Helian Hong, my father Helian Tiexin! I came here today to negotiate with Yinren Village. Two thousand cavalrymen from Luoye City will arrive in the morning. We are here to discuss. Saving you is like fire or water."
Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Helian, disrespect, disrespect! Save us from fire and water? I wonder how the Helian family plans to save us?"
At this time, the young man noticed the two teenagers beside Qingzhu, one was fair and restrained, the other was strong and burly. Through the fluctuation of internal energy, he was surprised to find that these two seemingly young teenagers had reached the level of the realm of power and the realm of light.
Especially the strong and burly young man, who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old and is close to the peak of the Mang Realm. How can the young man not be surprised or jealous?
He Lianhong took a deep look at the two young men and tutted: "It's a pity, so many good seedlings, how can they devote themselves to this village? Our Tiexin Village is willing to send troops to fight the Luoye City's attack with Yinren Village, but you need to pay A little price."
Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "What price?"
"The east of Liangchengang, including Liangchengang, is included in the boundary of our Tiexin Village, and fifty boys and girls will be donated to us every year." Helian said loudly.
There was silence in the room. Qingzhu paused and asked, "What will happen if we don't agree?"
He Lianhong paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking in embarrassment: What should he do if the other party doesn't agree?
The young man muttered to himself: "How could you disagree? What a good thing! We took over Liangchengang because we were worried that you wouldn't be able to protect yourself. We have to send warriors to garrison and defend you for a long time. As for these children coming every year, what's the matter? It’s not about making them do labor, but really training them, and even those with good qualifications should be sent to the sect for training!”
Until the end, the young man seemed to have given up on the ideological struggle and sighed: "Hey, it would be a pity if your village really failed our good intentions! Then we can only declare war, and everyone's lives will be left here today. "
As he spoke, the young man snapped his fingers, and a long sword appeared in the hands of the guest not far behind him, which was already placed on Lin Fenghuo's neck.
He Lianhong and the twelve disciples just stared at the three people opposite them coldly, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have dropped to freezing point for a moment.
Cold sweat broke out quietly on Yi Xifeng's forehead...
"Your Excellency keeps saying that you are here to negotiate. Are you here to annex our Yinren Village today?" Qingzhu asked softly.
He Lianhong frowned and shook his head: "It's not annexation, it's cooperation."
"So since it's cooperation and everything is negotiable, shouldn't Tiexin Village show some sincerity?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"What sincerity do you want?" the young man asked coldly.
He Lianhong had already noticed that the old man opposite him did not want to appear so weak and bullied. The strength he had built up step by step before was being worn away by the opponent bit by bit.
"Let's do this. Let that kid go first. Don't dare to say anything else. I can promise you that fifty children will go to Tiexin Village every year. As for giving up the territory you mentioned, to be honest, I don't have such high authority." Qingzhu spread his hands and said.
