Realm of Power

In the reception room of the Bokari Chamber of Commerce, the head of the chamber of commerce, Maumo Lawn, tore a trade contract into several pieces with both hands, then gently placed it on the table and said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, the original agreement is void. There is no discussion on the price. If you feel that the price of Bokari Chamber of Commerce is too high, you can choose to buy it from other chambers of commerce. Doing business is not a matter of course. You come here voluntarily, don’t worry, even if you don’t buy food from our Bocali Chamber of Commerce, we won’t interfere! But in Lisbon, who doesn’t know that the food sold by our Bocali Chamber of Commerce is Those with the Maomo family label can easily travel in any area of ​​the empire. I don’t know if other chambers of commerce have such privileges!”

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man from Aden, about fifty years old, with a slightly blessed figure. He was wearing a large one-piece Aden toga. Behind his seat, there was also a man in gold and gorgeous clothes. Young people from Aden saw Maumo Laun ruthlessly tearing up the trade agreement. Young Jin clenched his fingers fiercely and his face turned even brighter. It turned red. The other party was so hateful. He was obviously insulting the Abra family. What is called a consensual matter? We had already signed an agreement, but the food was barely loaded onto the ship and shipped away. Suddenly, he changed his mind. Not only did he All the food was taken away, the trade agreement was torn up, and people were even injured. Just like that, you still want to be in love with me! Even a robber would not sit down and talk to the victim casually after robbing someone. This is simply shameless!

"Sir Maumo Lawn is really joking. It's just an agreement. Neither the goods nor the payment have been delivered by both parties, so it's not established. Now that there are changes, let's just renegotiate it. It's just that your chamber of commerce suddenly The price has been doubled. With such a large amount of money, even our Abra family will need some time to raise funds, so \u003c.net... "Unlike young people, middle-aged people always have a smile on their faces. With a smile, as if he didn't see anything, he said slowly

"Of course, this is what it should be. After all, we are also regular customers with more than ten transactions. Such problems are understandable."

Maumo Lawn waved his hands with a relaxed expression, stood up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, looked at the tree branches swinging in the wind outside the window, and said, "Three days, this is the maximum I can give. You know, in addition to your Abra's Chamber of Commerce, Baibuli, Carmenton The chambers of commerce of these Aden wealthy families are also eyeing this batch of grain! It is already mid-April, and the harvest season for new grains in the north will be in two months, so I am not afraid to tell you that this batch of grain is already the last one this year. If you don’t want the grain, there will be people rushing to get it!”

"Okay, three days, three days!"

The middle-aged man stood up with a nod and bow, expressing that he was very satisfied with the meeting. After a few words of greeting, he led the people to leave the Bokari Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he walked out of the door of the Bokari Chamber of Commerce and stepped onto the carriage outside, the middle-aged man had a friendly face. His expression suddenly became ferocious and terrifying, and he whispered, "The vampire Maumo Raun simply wants to Robbery! Twice the price, he really dared to shout, he thought I didn’t know that this time I had stored grain for more than two years, and if I didn’t sell it, it would just rot, so he dared to sell us new grain. Twice the price! If it weren’t for the Mao Mo Family brand, I would have smashed his face with the scimitar handle!”

"Elder Abu, I don't understand why we must have food from the Bocali Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that the price has doubled, but it is still food stored for many years. There are so many chambers of commerce in Lisbon, where can we not buy better food?" The golden young man sitting opposite the middle-aged businessman said

"Your Highness, you don't know something. The background of this Bokari Chamber of Commerce is the Maomo family of the first princess of the empire. The first princess is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the empire. All regional political officers will sell the face of the first princess. Unimpeded traffic is not False words, and even the Imperial Navy would not go too far. If there is anyone who can guarantee that the goods of the Maomo family will be transported to the destination, it must be the Bokari Chamber of Commerce!" The middle-aged man explained with a wry smile. The Abra family is also famous in the Kingdom of Aden. He is a local lord, so it is not an exaggeration for young people to call him His Highness.

In the Kingdom of Aden, there are countless princes. There are princes in the royal family of Aden, princes in the regional lords, and princes in the vassal countries. In the cultural tradition of the desert people, prince is actually just a title that represents noble status. There is no strict title like Obaro. divide.

The middle-aged man paused, gently opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the street outside, and said, "This time the kingdom's army is in dire straits in the Cornelia area, and the army's logistics have been burned. Now who can be the first?" Whoever transports the food to Cornelia in time will be the great hero of the entire kingdom."

"There has been news in the country that the family that obtains the most food this time, His Majesty the King will directly give him the Baihesu Grand Oasis with a radius of thirty miles."

"You mean Baihesu Grand Oasis!" Hearing the name mentioned by the middle-aged man, the young golden man trembled for a moment before revealing a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face, which was enough to show how shocked he was.

"That's right, it's the Baihesu Grand Oasis, which is known as the capital of Aden!" The middle-aged man seemed to have known that young people would be like this, so he nodded with a sure look and said, "There can be no problem with the source of the news. Thirty Although in terms of area, the Baihesu Grand Oasis in the There are differences between the big oasis, but the Baihe Su Grand Oasis is worthy of its name. With this White River crossing it, and with abundant water resources, there will be no desert crisis for at least three to four hundred years, unlike the Ganlin Grand Oasis obtained by the Alita family. Although the area is so large, it was swept aside in less than twenty years. The expanded wind and sand have submerged half of it, and the water source has been cut off. Now there is only a bare shoal. "Baihesu is not only the core area for caravans, but also the famous Baihe Palace in the Baihesu Oasis." The river that crosses the White River was also in a hurry this time. Only then did the royal family even do this. The owner of the family gave up all his heart and soul and ordered all the properties on the southern coast to be sold for money, just for this reason! The businessmen of the Falcon Empire would take the opportunity to raise prices. This was something that had been expected for a long time, no. We need to fight with the Empire. What we want is the amulet of the Mao Mo family! "

"That's it, I understand!"

Young Jin looked excited. How could a profit-seeking imperial man know that compared with this great oasis of Baihesu, which is known as the capital of Aden, twice the price of food is nothing! As long as it can be labeled with the Maumo family and be transported smoothly from the imperial commercial route to Cornelia, it will be three or four times the price, and the family will buy it without hesitation! Just thinking about being able to cross the White River in a boat, with vast oasis woodlands on both sides, that feeling made him tremble with excitement. How could anyone who has never lived in the desert know what water means to desert people? What, a place with water , can survive. Sometimes, when young people in Jin see these imperial people wasting water wantonly, they have the urge to draw a knife and kill people. How come the good water is spilled on the ground, just to suppress the caravan carriage? The smoke from the wheels! "Creak" Just when the two of them had countless fantasies about Liu Jing, the carriage turned into an alley and suddenly stopped with a shock.

"What's going on?" The middle-aged man's face changed slightly. It was still ten minutes away from the destination. He poked his head out of the carriage window, and the scene in front of him shocked him. The driver of his carriage was leaning against him. On the chair, there was an arrow cluster hanging around the neck, and the whole neck was lowered limply to the side. The reins of the carriage had slipped from his hands. The two horses pulling the carriage had stopped completely and were lowering their heads.

On the roof of a two-story house on the left side of the alley, a masked archer was placing the second arrow on the bowstring. The other two masked warriors jumped into the air with their legs slightly bent. , like two iron kites, one on the left and one on the right, falling fiercely towards the carriage, the big trousers with leggings bulging in the wind,

"Crash!" The moment he stood firmly on the top of the carriage, one of the sturdy desert warriors, using the force of falling, slashed the top of the carriage with a big scimitar, sending sawdust flying everywhere, and he was still underestimating. What, he was hit by a cold light emitted from the breach, and his body rolled down from the top of the two-meter-high carriage to the He fell to the ground, and what was inserted into his stomach was a small arrow cluster. The arrow had completely pierced the attacker's stomach, and the exposed white feathers were shaking. This was a short hunting bow, a self-defense weapon developed by desert nobles. They are all mechanical spring devices installed on the outer iron sleeve of the arm. After shooting one, it is difficult to load the second one.

The tough desert warriors did not expect to encounter short hunting bows here. The desert nobles have a tradition of poisoning the short hunting bows and arrow clusters. Most of them are anesthetics of some kind, which will gradually paralyze the person who is hit by the arrow. Finally, Most of them will be captured alive! Therefore, this kind of arrow cluster must be pulled out. Hold the tail of the arrow cluster with your hand while grinning, and the red intestines will come out.

When another desert warrior saw his companion injured, he jumped to the ground in an arc and threw his machete at the car door with great force.

"Bang" the car door almost shattered. The Desert Warrior kicked it and the door was completely destroyed.

"What a powerful force!" The middle-aged man and the golden young man in the car both took a breath of air, and quickly and skillfully pulled out a machete from under the carriage seat.

"Your Highness, I'm going to fight to open a way, leave immediately!" The middle-aged man looked ferocious, shouted, jumped down, and fought with the desert warrior who opened the car door. He desperately pushed the desert warrior back a few steps, and Jin The young man turned around and wanted to jump down, whoosh! A big wolf-toothed arrow swept past the car door only a few centimeters away with a gust of wind. The young man broke into a cold sweat. If he hadn't hesitated just now and had not had time to jump out, then this arrow would have The position is exactly where his head is, just like a completely dead coachman. The other person has a habit of shooting people in the head!

Just when he hesitated, a second arrow shot through the car window.

Fortunately, the other party couldn't see the specific situation inside the carriage, so the arrow still missed. It brought a piece of sawdust with it, rubbed the young man's face, and stuck it firmly on the table inside the carriage. No, the other party's shooter was too powerful. Well, getting off the car like this is a dead end! The young man gritted his teeth, hesitated, and suddenly pulled something out from the chain around his neck. It was something like a whistle. The young man put it in his mouth, inhaled hard, and let out a loud "woo". The hawk whistle came from the golden young man's mouth, and the sound was loud and clear, causing everyone nearby to look towards the place where the sound came from.

Ah, the third arrow hit the young man's thigh, and there was a lot of blood. The young man pressed his thigh with his hand, and still blew the hawk whistle in his mouth, and the tone became higher and higher.

The security in Lisbonto is very good. Within ten minutes, people from the nearby police station arrived in the alley. In the dark alley, the fighting had stopped at this moment. The attacker was nowhere to be seen. In front of them was a car almost The carriage was about to fall apart. At the wheels of the carriage, two people covered in blood were leaning on the carriage. Fortunately, they could still breathe heavily. There was a bloody corpse on the ground.

"It's Aden again!"

The security captain who led the team walked over cautiously, his eyes fell on the coat of arms on the broken carriage, and his eyebrows furrowed.

"We are the Yehe Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what's going on! The other party probably wants to rob us on the way. They are just petty thieves!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stood up. He was slashed with a knife on his right arm. The blood soaked into his toga along with the wound. The young man supported him. The middle-aged businessman was unwilling to say anything about the attacker. This paragraph During this time, all the Aden merchants in Lisbonto went crazy. Although Lisbonto was a commercial and maritime trade center, the amount of food was There are so many. When some chambers of commerce can no longer get enough food, they turn to other Aden chambers of commerce that have food in their hands. They attack, assassinate, intimidate, and even rely on force to rob warehouses. Anyway, as long as they get food, they can get Baihe Su Grand Oasis, even if it compensates the other party for some losses afterwards, it is still worth it!

"Little thief? Since when, the little thief is already using the standard bow and arrow of the Aden Army!" The security captain sneered, and threw an arrow cluster torn from the car door in front of the two of them. There was a white streak on the tail of the arrow cluster. The crescent mark is the mark of the standard arrow cluster of the Aden army.

"It seems that the identity of the attacker is also from Aden! This is the sixth attack case in the past ten days. The targets of the attacks are all Aden businessmen, and in the market, all Aden businessmen Everyone is buying food like crazy, and the prices have gone up. The supply is still more than the demand, and now you are even killing your own compatriots, what on earth do you want to do!" The security captain was completely angry. These Aden people have made Lisbonto uneasy. People who don't know think that Lisbonto's police officers are here. They're all nothing but wine and rice bags! (To be continued.) 8
