Outside the room, two men stood with their hands by their sides.
Ever since they ascended the mountain, their expressions had changed from arrogance to astonishment, then to shock, and finally to caution, caution, and even a little fear …
Because this place was completely different from what they had imagined.
Before this, they had looked down on these bald men from the bottom of their hearts. As people who had been steadily fighting in the Fringe for more than a decade, overcoming all kinds of difficulties along the way, it was only natural for them to look down on these nouveau riche.
They were merely a bunch of nouveau riche with an unstable foundation. Their rapid rise would eventually fade away like a meteor. In the Fringe, there was no shortage of such things.
Moreover, since ancient times, it had always been those with more hair looking down on those with less hair, and those with hair looking down on those without hair …
But after ascending the mountain, what they saw completely erased the contemptuous thoughts in their hearts.
The top of the hill was flattened, and the ground was paved with bluestone. There were rows upon rows of houses and rows upon rows of shops. Just now, they had actually passed by a school. Damn it, they had never heard of a school in a bandit's stronghold …
What are they learning? How to rob and rob? If these things could be learned, then … then wouldn't they be able to find the reason why these bald men rose so quickly?
Putting everything else aside, just the environment here was more than a level better than theirs. It could even be said that one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.
One was a simple thatched hut, and the other was a luxurious wooden hut. One could imagine how comfortable these people slept when they were bitten by mosquitoes in the thatched hut.
One was a muddy ground that would turn into a muddy puddle when it rained, while the other was a bluestone street where every stone was about the same size. It was easy to imagine that when they stepped on the muddy water and stuck close to the base of the wall, the rain would make the ground even cleaner on the other side …
One was just a temporary place to stay, and the other was a city in the mountains. They had a school, shops, medical centers, restaurants, and brothels, but their side … had nothing!
This made the man on the left start to doubt his life.
To be able to be a bandit to such an extent really made all his peers blush and feel ashamed. Humans couldn't be compared with each other, and even more so with thieves.
As for the slightly older man on the right, his expression changed from indifference to solemnity.
Among the people he met along the way, there were three whom he couldn't see through, and they even gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Experts on the Heaven List. The strength of those three people was definitely enough to enter the Heaven List. In fact, their ranking on the Heaven List would not be low.
Where on earth did those baldies gather so many martial arts masters?
Of course, this was a good thing for them as well, and it was sufficient to greatly increase their chances of accomplishing that great matter.
The premise was that they were willing to work together.
At this time, a young bald man walked out from a house in front of them and said lightly, "You can go in."
The two of them walked into the room, and the first thing they saw was a man and a woman, both bald.
Men were born valiant, and women were even more valiant. The bald woman glanced at them and walked out on her own.
The older man cupped his hands towards the bald man and said, "Are you Commander Wang?"
There was a tinge of respect in his tone. It was respect for the strong. Although the bald man in front of him wasn't strong, he had the power to shake the foundation of the Holy Religion in the Fringe.
"That's me." The word 'Commander Wang' made Wang Wei's heart burst with joy. When he looked at the two of them again, he immediately felt that they were pleasing to the eye.
He glanced at the two of them and asked, "Were you sent by that Fang guy?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes."
"Did that Fang guy ask you to come over and surrender?" Wang Wei looked at them, nodded, and said, "It's not that I want to say this, but you should have done this a long time ago. You also know that with our strength, destroying you is as easy as pinching an ant to death. Since ancient times, a wise man submits to circumstances. These days, there have been many bandits who came to surrender. Although you came a little late, you are still tactful … Little Six, come, take them to register."
The middle-aged man was startled and hurriedly said, "No, no, no. Commander Wang, you misunderstand. We are not here to surrender."
"Not here to surrender?"
Wang Wei's face hardened and he said angrily, "If you are not here to surrender, then why are you looking for me? Do you know that this commander is very busy and has many things to deal with every day? I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you … Next!"
The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and said, "We are here to do a big business with Commander Wang!"
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "If you want to do business, go find those merchants. We don't do business, we only steal business."
The middle-aged man continued, "If this business is done, Commander Wang can have as much silver as you want and as many people as you want!"
Wang Wei stood up and said loudly, "Little Six, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and serve them tea!"
They didn't lack silver, but they didn't want what they had. What they lacked the most was manpower, labor. Since they had silver and people, why couldn't they sit down and talk it out?
The middle-aged man was finally relieved. He was worried that these people wouldn't listen to him. As long as they wanted something, he was confident that he could complete the task given to him by the Protector.
Wang Wei looked at them and smiled. He said, "Tell me, what kind of big business is it?"
"We will join forces to attack Yong County and capture Gyeong Of Silla!" The middle-aged man looked at him and said in a deep voice, "After attacking Yong County, you can rob as many people and as much silver as you want. We only want Gyeong Of Silla."
"Attack Yong County and capture Gyeong Of Silla?" Wang Wei gave a look to the young bald man behind the two men. The bald man immediately retreated and closed the door.
Wang Wei looked at them and asked, "You want to … rebel?"
The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "What Commander Wang is doing now, isn't it also a rebellion?"
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "With just the few of us, we are still far from rebelling."
The middle-aged man said, "We only plan to attack Yong County, not all the way to the capital. After we are done, we will immediately return here. As long as we enter the Land of Chaos, we will be invincible. What is there for Commander Wang to worry about?"
Wang Wei glanced at him and said, "In that case, why do we need to cooperate with you? It is just Yong County, we can attack it ourselves …"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "We have spies in Yong County. When the time comes, we can work together. If it is just you, although you can do it, I think Commander Wang won't be willing to bear the loss, right?"
"So there are spies …"
Wang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about this."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "This is a serious matter. It should be so. However, how long does Commander Wang need to think about it?"
"About an hour." Wang Wei stood up and sent the two out. He said to the young bald-headed man waiting outside the door, "Little Six, show these two guests around first. Also, call the other leaders over."
The young bald man nodded and extended his hand to the two men. "Two guests, this way please."
