"Misunderstanding?" Meng Han's voice was still as calm as before: "Actually, I think it's also a misunderstanding." As soon as Meng Han finished speaking, the two ground thorns that suddenly appeared in the ground disappeared quickly. Then, Meng Han's
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who suddenly appeared and surrounded everyone immediately left the tavern in a neat line, leaving only the few people Meng Han had brought with him when he came in.
Joey and Julie just pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and stood beside Meng Han on the left and right without moving. However, Meng Han could imagine that if there was any abnormal movement among this group of people just now,
What kind of blow will it cause to the two women?
Meng Han is still sitting in his original position, but when others look at him again, it is no longer the playful and contemptuous look. The short arrow just made it very clear that anyone standing here
, including the middle-aged people, as long as Meng Han is willing, he can kill them at any time. Even if the middle-aged man can block one, he will never be able to block several shooting at the same time. What's more, Meng Han's shining
The light of the magic shield and the sudden appearance of the ground thorns all showed that the Lord Baron of Huangsha Town, whom they had always thought was easy to bully, was by no means who he was in the legend.
"Some things can only be said but not done. But there are some things that can only be done but not said." Meng Han smiled at the young man. After saying these words, he turned to the middle-aged man: "
dont you agree?"
"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man who had just broken out in a cold sweat was no longer as calm as before. The arm holding the sword could finally be lowered, but everyone could see that the hand that blocked the powerful arrow just now,
At this moment, he started to tremble slightly.
"I'm sorry. Because of a misunderstanding, I broke one of your shields and a sword. I will compensate you later." Meng Han pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the middle-aged man to sit down.
"Don't you dare!" The middle-aged man approached and sat down obediently, and put the sword in his hand on the table to avoid suspicion. The tip of the sword was pointed at him, and the hilt was placed on Meng Han's side: "This sword I
I thought it was pretty good, but I didn’t expect it to be vulnerable! It’s really surprising that you have such a bow and arrow.” During the time he was speaking, it seemed that the middle-aged man had already settled down and decided what kind of attitude he would use to face the situation.
To Meng Han.
"The young master of a big shot?" Meng Han didn't look back and pointed in the direction of the young man behind him: "He came out with you to practice?"
"Yes, my lack of experience makes adults laugh." The middle-aged man admitted helplessly. In fact, it is easy to see. In terms of strength, young people are definitely not the strongest among them. Those who are strong can only
Sitting around, no need to ask, must be of high status.
"Young man, you are a little angry, which is understandable." Meng Han nodded, as if the two of them had known each other for who knows how many years, and he also meant to give some guidance to the younger generation: "If you have nothing to do, you need to teach me more. You can mess with the food."
Eat, don’t talk nonsense! If everyone hadn’t thought it was a misunderstanding today, maybe we wouldn’t even have a chance to speak, don’t you think?”
What can the middle-aged man say? Apart from nodding with a smile and a wry smile in his heart, there seems to be nothing else to say. As for the young man who was so arrogant just now, his face is still pale and immersed in fear. What else can he say?
Say half a word.
What Meng Han said is true. Some things can indeed be done, but cannot be said. For example, some local mercenary guilds actually enjoy certain privileges, but everyone understands it tacitly, and no one will exaggerate it.
Only that young man would say such arrogant words if he didn't know the heights of the sky. At least the middle-aged man knew how much trouble it would bring to the mercenary guild if he said such nonsense.
Reaching out to pick up the middle-aged man's sword, Meng Han held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then turned around and handed the sword to Joey: "Take some repairs on this sword. It's made of very good steel."
"Yes, sir!" Qiao reached out and took it, but did not leave. Immediately, someone came in from outside and left with a sword.
Taking advantage of Meng Han's careful observation, the middle-aged man also took a closer look himself. The short arrow completely penetrated the all-steel sword and remained on the sword's spine. Because the speed was too fast, the entire inlay
The spine of the sword cannot be pulled even with any force. You can imagine how powerful the bow that shot this arrow is. If you are not a born tauren strongman of the beast tribe, you probably can't pull it. You may even not see the tauren.
It has to be able to be pulled apart.
"Very good skills, he has been traveling around for many years!" Meng Han stretched out his thumb towards the middle-aged man opposite, holding the sword in one hand, but he was not shaken off by such a huge force. One can imagine the strength of the middle-aged man's arms.
.And being able to detect danger in advance and respond in advance directly shows that the middle-aged man is definitely a master, and it is even possible that Joey and Julie may not be their opponents.
Strictly speaking, Meng Han was still a little wary of this middle-aged man. However, in the current situation, Meng Han's sudden strong performance caused an immediate change in the momentum of both parties. Originally, one side was strong and the other was weak.
The whole situation has turned upside down. But if the opponent is really forced to the point of desperation, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Meng Han doesn't want to fall out with the mercenary guild. With his current strength, it's okay to intimidate these people in front of him. If the mercenary guild really comes with a big shot, Meng Han will definitely not be able to offend him. The other party may have seen this, so
Only then did he quickly regain his composure and gain confidence.
Neither party wanted to escalate the situation, which was the basis for negotiations between the two parties. Meng Han also began to chat as if it was normal.
"It cost a lot of gold coins to get this transfer document from the city lord, right?" Meng Han smiled and asked as if he was caring about an old friend, but he didn't expect the other party to answer, and said to himself: "But
You have to manage it well, otherwise you will lose money."
"Yes, sir!" From Meng Han's tone, the middle-aged man heard a hint of a turning point. It seemed that Meng Han did not intend to kill everyone. He couldn't help feeling happy, and that professionalism appeared on his face again.
smile.
"So, look, what is the appropriate tax rate for this quarry?" Meng Han then asked another question, but he threw the most troublesome question to the middle-aged man himself, asking him to set the tax rate himself.
.
"This, sir, isn't this appropriate? We don't dare to go overboard casually." With the lesson just learned, how dare the middle-aged man to say it himself? Once Meng Han is accused of influencing the lord's tax rate, it will be another big trouble:
"This needs to be done by the adults themselves. We will never dare to overstep our limits."
"It's easy to talk about." Meng Han's language has changed to that of a businessman: "The ordinary tax rate here is five percent. However, I know very well that the stones in your quarry are luxury goods. I am a little bit
It’s not too much to improve it a little, right?”
"Not too much, not too much!" The middle-aged man Meng Han said whatever he said at the moment. He should solve the immediate matter first and then talk about the future matters. As for how to solve it then, that is a matter for the future.
"Let's double the luxury goods!" Meng Han smiled slightly: "Then tentatively set it at 10%. If you feel it is inappropriate in the future, you can adjust it. What do you think?"
"Ah?" The middle-aged man obviously did not expect that Meng Han had been strong for so long and actually gave such a tax rate. Ten percent is the most common tax rate in other cities, even in Meng Han.
Meng Han used the reason of doubling the tax rate on luxury goods and did not really embarrass these people. The dozen or so people from the mercenary guild around him looked at Meng Han with incredible eyes, as if they were looking at a person.
Like a fool.
"Sir, if you have any orders, please explain them to me!" The middle-aged man didn't realize that Meng Han was a fool. From the beginning to now, where has Meng Han shown any foolishness? On the contrary, everyone in the guild agreed that
The son of a certain big shot with an unlimited future was tricked by Meng Han from beginning to end. Meng Han obviously had some exchange conditions for offering such a low tax rate.
Meng Han did not speak, but glanced at the people around him, and then waved his hand: "No one else, please exit the tavern." None of the mercenaries who were watching the excitement were shouted at by the lord.
If there was any objection, Hula La retreated. When the middle-aged man saw it, he also hurriedly asked his men to withdraw. Soon, only a few people from Meng Han's side, as well as the middle-aged man and the young man were left.
.
"It's very simple. From now on, as long as your guild doesn't interfere with the matters between me and the Lord of Stormwind City." Meng Hanti's request is indeed simple. It's so simple that the mercenary guild doesn't have to do anything and just make a fortune in silence. Such a good thing seems to be
The mercenary guild took a huge advantage.
On the contrary, the middle-aged people began to think deeply when they heard Meng Han's request. The quarry was a joint interest that the Lord of Stormwind City gave up after they accepted the great benefits of the Lord of Stormwind City. The condition was to support the Lord of Stormwind City. However, Meng Han
In addition to the powerful weapons shown just now, there are also two magic spells. This matter needs to be carefully considered by the middle-aged man.
"Okay!" In the end, the middle-aged man weighed it again and again and nodded in agreement to Meng Han's proposal. The Mercenary Guild's opening of a branch in Stormwind City has already explained the Guild's attitude. For the rest, no matter how much support it is, the Mercenary Guild will
The guild would not directly send men to fight with Meng Han. Anyway, it would not make much difference if they just did nothing in the future. The middle-aged man decisively agreed to Meng Han's request.
"Happy cooperation!" Meng Han picked up the wine glass on the table, held it up, and faced the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man understood a big event, felt relaxed, and happily picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Meng Han, and drank it all in one gulp.
