Chapter 231 Camel Mountain in the Taiyan Empire
Chapter 231 Camel Mountain in Taiyan Empire
In the Taiyan Empire, among the Camel Mountains, a group of bandits blocked the road and robbed the passing wealthy businessmen.
"Listen, this is the territory of our Camel King. If you want to pass here, you must pay the toll. Otherwise, this will be your end, hehe." As he said that, a bandit with a big knife cut hard on the tree, and the tree turned into two pieces, which made these merchants and servants feel heartbroken, and even the guards felt very dangerous.
"My uncle, we really don't have any good goods. Otherwise, we are willing to pay a thousand taels of silver. How about the toll? We need to be harmonious. How bad is it to fight and kill? I heard that Camel City not far from here has 100,000 soldiers. If they know and send people to encircle you, it would be a big deal. Don't you say it."
Threat, pure threat, is no more dangerous than this, with the temptation of interests and the threat of imperial soldiers so that they can escape safely. Unfortunately, they obviously don’t know what the situation is now, it’s different.
"Oh, you dare to threaten us. Do you think we are scared? If you have the ability, go and call us. But let's talk about it first. If you don't pay 10,000 taels of silver, don't think about it. This is the territory of our king. You dare to threaten us. You are so impatient. If you still think that you have the ability, then we have nothing to say, otherwise we should pay the money honestly."
The bandits around suddenly started to make trouble. Yes, they only make money because they are used to being poor and can no longer have money. Without money, they can't get along with them. Naturally, they need a lot of money. Without money, they can't get through. It is also the reason why they went up the mountain to be bandits. There is nothing great. Perhaps this is because they don't want to be used in a confused manner anymore.
The nobles oppressed them because they did not resist, and regarded them as ants and could play with them at will, but they could not resist. But now, they are bandits, and they had no choice but to resist their own destiny. Of course, for them who were no longer the same as before, they have become a professional existence, just because of money and power, the benefits they have experienced.
How many times have you passed by here, but the nobles turned a blind eye to it, and the civilians had no right. It was not until this time that they knew that fighting with their own destiny was not considered life or death, but it was a kind of resistance of fate. Perhaps it was to embark on the evil path, but as long as you did not regret in your heart and did not feel guilty in your heart, then even the evil path would be fine.
There are thousands of roads, and this road is also a road, a real road. The bandits looked at the besieged caravans together, and they did not want to let them go. Now there is obviously more silver. Tolls are tolls, and there is nothing to bargain. This is certain, and they must pay enough share, otherwise it will be the consequence of the failure of being bandits.
When the people in the caravan saw so many bandits shouting together, they were immediately heartbroken. They immediately discussed and soon came up with the answer. Although they were guarded by the guards, they were not their opponents. Who knew how many bandits there were in Camel Mountain? If the group in front of them was not enough, and there would be another group, there would be more tolls and there was no word at all.
"Okay, okay, uncle, please wait. Let's go raise the silver now. Please wait for a moment, wait for a moment."
"It's very good, very tactful, don't worry, as long as you pay the toll, we won't make things difficult for you. We are bandits with rules. Do you think so? We are all bandits with famous regulations and bandits of the new era, hahahaha."
"That's right, we are bandits of the new era, hahahaha, pay for money."
The caravan members turned pale all of a sudden, but after knowing that these bandits had no malice, they immediately prepared silver. If they only had money, it would be easy to deal with. They didn't care about the others, and they wouldn't feel that there was a profit for them. They wouldn't feel that they were losing money. Now they survive first, and then report the case in Camel City. Let's take a look.
Soon, the caravan took out ten thousand taels of silver. After the bandits nodded, they nodded, and then let them go without making things difficult for them. The bandits pushed the silver cart and disappeared into the Camel Mountain. They soon disappeared, and the others also hid.
When the caravan saw it, they also brought their people to move forward quickly, hoping to get out of here sooner so that they can better protect their products. I hope that they can only save their products this time. Until they walked out of Camel Mountain and came to the wilderness, their hearts finally calmed down. They no longer thought about it, and immediately made people move towards Camel City, hoping to get help.
In the Tuo Mountain Village, in front of the big mountain village, there were four big words "Shi Tian Xing Dao" standing, and the article read Juyi Hall on its forehead. Everyone was discussing things inside. At this time, a voice came in, obviously a very happy voice.
"Dear bosses, this time we intercepted 10,000 taels of silver. I just don't know why you can't cut them all off. There are really a lot of good things in their caravans. If you sell them, you can make a lot of money. I really don't understand."
"Hahaha, Xiao Shunzi, it's not that we don't agree, but that's a must. You are also a civilian. Do you think that such a robbery is a good thing? It's obviously impossible. Once you force yourself, there will be a lot of killings. You say that these people really deserve to die. Maybe this is not necessarily true. Some merchants can pass by, but nobles cannot."
"I know, I know, the third leader, I know, I will never talk much again in the future. Who said I am stupid? I just can't figure it out. But I understand that the nobles are not good things and will definitely not let them go. Which brothers are not brought up by these precious imperial nobles? If they don't come up, it's a dead end. I understand, I won't say these things again in the future."
"That's good. It's not that the third leader said you, but you really have to learn more. What's the point of 10,000 taels of silver? Those nobles will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of food for a meal. You are just that little money now. Those nobles are the real big heads. Now we are sitting well, we are discussing some things and then telling you to do things. The situation is not very good now. The nobles are very cunning."
"That's right, the nobles are becoming more and more cunning now. They can only hire people to go there, not to go there themselves. I believe the boss also knows that this time the empire has sent a lot of troops to the center continent near the west. I heard that millions of soldiers have died, but they are actually millions of civilian soldiers. Those nobles don't care about the lives of these people, damn it."
"Yes, yes, the second leader, this time I heard that I would summon millions of civilian militias to go there again. This is to die, it's abominable."
"Hey, who said they were the rulers? If they were like the Hongyun Dynasty, then everything would be peaceful. I heard that there was no bandit in their country, and the nobles were even reached. Nowadays, the nobles were all from civilians, and they were not as nobles as before. Their rights were collected by the emperor, but they had a better background and civilians also had the opportunity to take office."
"Yes, yes, brother, you said it's right. I've heard of this, and many merchants have confirmed this. If the border was not really impossible to enter and exit, I really wanted to go to the Hongyun Dynasty, which was the paradise. There would be no conflict between civilians and nobles. Even if there was a conflict, it would be relatively equal. The nobles would also be severely punished and even deprived of the position of the nobles."
"Yes, yes, I heard that the dynasty's laws are very strict, especially the restrictions on aristocrats, which are even more strict. It is obviously an enlightened emperor. This is a completely different law from the empire. It would be great if I could be in the dynasty."
For a moment, everyone was silent because of this. They all knew it, but it was really not easy to go there. Moreover, there were so many bandits that it was impossible to throw them away at once. Moreover, with them now, it was guaranteed that they would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Once they left, there might be worse results, which would be a big problem.
"However, the empire has used so many civilians to fill the battlefields of the central continent, and many places have become deserted. Even if there are many civilians, it will not work. After repeated conscripts, the fields are deserted, and there is nothing to eat. Those nobles will have nothing to eat. Then they will know what the worst day is, so sad."
"Fourth brother, you don't have to be angry about these nobles. We are just coming up. Now we live a good life. At least we can support ourselves and also shock one side. Besides, the terrain in the Camel Mountains is dangerous and difficult to be surrounded. It was not the same for the previous few times, which made these people return in vain and even paid a lot of price for it."
"That's right, the third brother said it well. Our life is not given by these nobles. Fourth brother, you don't have to say more, otherwise the brothers will not feel good. These nobles are all hateful guys, and none of them are good things."
