Ten kilometers south of Silent City, in an inn in a small town.
Dozens of heads of chambers of commerce gathered to discuss countermeasures.
Among them was Du Shijie, who had just been chased out of Silent City.
"Branch Leader, if we let Hanxing take 20% of the profits, we won't survive!"
"Yeah, Branch Leader. If we don't think of a solution, my delivery time will be up. At that time, we will have to compensate a lot of money."
Hearing these words, Du Shijie frowned and sighed repeatedly.
"Everyone, there are only two solutions now!" Du Shijie said.
"What solutions? Tell us quickly. Don't keep us in suspense. It's urgent!"
Everyone looked at Du Shijie anxiously.
"The first solution is to hire Gods! They have a special space and can help us transport the goods! "Du Shijie said.
As soon as this was said, everyone sighed.
"I thought there was a good solution. Rather than hiring Gods, we might as well give the goods to them directly!"
"That's right. My brother left 50 thousand gold coins worth of goods with a God, and he couldn't find him anymore!"
"We can't trust Gods! Branch Leader, you should tell us the other solution! "
Hearing these words, Du Shijie sighed secretly. "The second solution is to hire winged cavalry to carry the goods and fly over Silent City!"
This time, no one retorted.
"Sigh, that's the only way! Let's hand over this batch of goods first! "
"Branch Leader, how do we do it?"
Du Shijie looked serious. "We don't know if Hanxing will take action. We can only rent some winged cavalry without goods to test it out!"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
Soon, someone arranged for some winged cavalry to take off and fly towards the north.
An hour later.
As everyone waited anxiously, all the winged cavalry returned. Not a single one was missing.
"Hanxing doesn't care?"
"He can't do anything even if he wants to! We flew a thousand meters high. How can an archer reach us? "
"That's right. He can't do anything to us now!"
"Great. This way, we can transport everything over with just 1% of the cost!"
Every head of the chamber of commerce was delighted.
After the discussion, their eyes were fixed on Du Shijie.
Du Shijie frowned and looked worried. He said, "Is there anyone who isn't afraid of death?"
As soon as this was said, everyone looked at each other and took two steps back.
There was no one who was not afraid of death.
"We still need someone to fly over Silent City. This time, bring some goods!" Du Shijie said.
Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Branch Master, are you trying to scare us to death? If you want to ship the goods, then do it! "
"That's right. If there's no one, I'm willing to go!"
"Me too!"
"Stop fighting. My goods are urgent. Let me go first!"
At this moment, a fat middle-aged man stepped forward.
He grinned, the fat on his face jiggling.
"Master Wang, you can't be careless about this. Have you thought it through?" Du Shijie asked.
"I've thought it through. Rent these winged cavalry warriors to me first!" the middle-aged man said.
"Alright!"
Everyone made way for the winged cavalry warriors.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and over a hundred of his subordinates began to move the goods.
Box after box of items were loaded onto the winged cavalry warriors.
"Rise!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand. More than a hundred winged cavalry warriors spread their wings and soared into the sky, flying toward Silent City.
In the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.
Soon after, the middle-aged man brought his flying mount to the sky above Silent City.
Looking down from a thousand meters above the ground, people were like ants.
The surroundings were as calm as waves.
Even the Golden Guardian on the city wall stood there as if they didn't notice them.
The only thing that could be compared to them was the statue in the city.
"Third Master, this is very safe! I really don't understand what the Branch Master is thinking?! "
"That's right. With the Third Master here, any demons and ghosts have to be dormant!"
The subordinates didn't forget to flatter the middle-aged man.
Hearing these words, the middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth and looked proud.
He patted his stomach with a satisfied look.
He looked at the statue and his expression was sluggish.
He saw that the eyes of the statue seemed to be alive.
He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. However, he found that the statue was like a dead object, motionless.
"You scared the hell out of me!"
"Come and hit me if you have the guts!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but raise a middle finger at the statue and then pointed it down.
Suddenly.
"Hoo …"
Two golden lights bloomed in the eyes of the statue.
"Presumptuous!"
A loud shout shook their heads, causing their heads to buzz.
Immediately afterward, the statue moved. The big hand covering the sky quickly reached out and grabbed everyone in its hand at once.
"No …"
The middle-aged man's voice trembled, and his face was horrified.
"Great God above, spare my life!"
The middle-aged man's voice trembled, and he kept begging for mercy.
On his face, there was an incomparable look of regret.
The others had long been scared out of their wits and fainted.
However, it was all too late.
"Boom …"
The big hand covering the sky gently covered the sky, and everyone's body burst into a blood mist and disappeared on the spot.
Even those winged cavalry warriors all exploded.
As for those goods, they were all put away by the statue using the big hand.
For everything that happened in the sky, the people in the city didn't notice at all.
As if nothing had happened.
Ten kilometers south of Ji City.
Du Shijie and the others waited anxiously and kept pacing in place.
"Four hours, why haven't they returned yet?"
"Didn't they say that after passing Ji City, they would send someone back to deliver a letter?"
"It shouldn't be a total wipeout, right?"
The discussion continued.
"Report!"
At this time, a voice sounded.
"What's the matter?" Du Shijie asked.
"A letter from Ji City's messenger!"
The guard took out a letter and handed it in front of Du Shijie.
"Okay, go down!"
Du Shijie took the letter, opened it, and took a look. His body staggered straight back, and his face was pale.
"Branch Leader, what's wrong with you?"
The others picked up the letter and looked at it, and their faces also changed drastically.
They saw that it was written: Trespassers, die!
Four big words, revealing a shocking pressure.
These words, seeing in the eyes of these chamber of commerce heads, their bodies trembled, and their faces were full of horror.
After a long time, they calmed down and secretly wiped their cold sweat.
A moment later.
"No, I can't wait any longer. I can only pay the 20% tax!"
"Once it starts, there will be no end to it!"
"It's better than dying! If you don't deliver on time, you need to pay ten times the compensation! "
Soon, they were divided into two factions, one for war, and one for peace.
The two factions separated and glared at each other.
"Okay! Everyone is a businessman, why hurt the harmony! "Du Shijie said.
These words were very effective, and the two factions that were like fire and water immediately calmed down.
"It seems that Hanxing is determined to go against me!"
"We don't have to be afraid, we have the support of the Hongwu Empire behind us!"
"Everyone, that's it for now. Those who are in a hurry to deliver the goods, temporarily pass Ji City. Those who are not in a hurry, come with me to Broken Star City to report this matter to the leader!"
"Presumably, the Hongwu Empire doesn't need to do anything, the Broken Mountain Palace will settle this matter!"
Du Shijie's words were what everyone was thinking.
"Branch Leader is right, we are businessmen after all, integrity is important!"
"Well said, we have to sell the goods, and take revenge!"
Everyone began to discuss, and they all nodded and agreed.
"Okay, everyone go back to work!"
