This is a huge advantage for the Mountain and River Alliance. By unifying the chaotic land, you can make endless money and become the king here. You can also spend a lot of money on paying tribute every year.
Moreover, once they grow strong or the great merchants decline, they can renege on paying tribute at any time. How can we say that they, the Mountain and River Alliance, will not suffer a loss?
Beichen Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I will forward the letter to the Chamber of Commerce. I hope what comes will be good news."
"Thank you, Mr. Beichen, and thank you, Miss Mu." Shi Yan saluted the two of them.
"You don't need to be polite, second boss. Please extend the negotiation time as much as possible to buy time for us." Mu Qianyu instructed.
"Please rest assured on this point. I have already given orders to delay this for as long as possible."
"That's good."
"The residence of the two of you and your entourage has been packed up. I'll ask the maid to take you there." Shi Yan said very thoughtfully.
This is the last hope of their Shanhe Alliance. If the negotiation with Dashang fails, the only way to go is to fight.
They will not agree to the peace talks, because the price paid must be tragic, and what awaits after concessions will be further encroachment.
Rather than being eaten bit by bit, it's better to fight for a chance of survival.
After returning to the room, Beichenye asked Shadow to leave, taking Mu Qianyu's oral instructions with him. The contents of the instructions were very simple.
Agree to send troops, but the conditions must change.
"You said that the Shanhe Alliance is also a thief. You want me, the great merchant, to send troops to help, but you don't want to bleed." Mu Qianyu said with an incomprehensible face: "These are all insignificant conditions. Do you think we are being taken advantage of?"
Sending troops to help, but in the end only accepting a tributary country, and a tributary country without the right to rule, this is not expanding territory, this is doing a good deed.
Beichen Ye chuckled and said, "Alright madam, aren't you planning to agree to it either?"
"If I agree to this condition, let alone becoming an emperor, I will have to pay for being a landlord who only cares about his own one-third of an acre of land." Mu Qianyu shook his head repeatedly.
Beichenye always liked her to say wisecracks, and the smile in her eyes couldn't help but deepen a little.
"Anyway, we don't need help from the Eight Alliances. Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Mu Qianyu crossed his arms, waiting to see the Shanhe Alliance's jokes.
Negotiations have been continuing, and as expected, the Yueyang Sect and Yao Dao Sect's conditions are very harsh. They want half of the Shanhe League's territory and the management rights of eight chambers of commerce.
You must know that the Shanhe League only has twelve chambers of commerce. If eight are taken away and the territory is reduced, it will be equivalent to cutting half of the resources and the people under its jurisdiction. How can it develop in the future?
And this is not over yet, the two major forces are demanding compensation for the expenses they incurred along the way, two billion spiritual stones, some elixirs, some fairy grass, and some rare metals.
After hearing this, Mu Qianyu called him an expert. The ruthlessness of this negotiation was comparable to hers. Considering the situation of the Shanhe Alliance, it might be even more ruthless than hers.
With two billion spiritual stones, the Shanhe Alliance cannot afford to lose everything. This will require at least several years or even more than ten years of debt. Will the two major forces let them go at this stage?
They will definitely take the opportunity to devour them. In this way, they may not need to use any soldiers, and they can take over the people and the territory smoothly.
This weapon is not bloody, but that's all.
"Two billion, if you have the money, give it to me, and I will help them fight the alchemy zombies." Yuan Zhong couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this amount.
Mu Qianyu glanced at him: "Don't even think about this idea."
Zombies will get out of control once they are used. After all, these things are harmful to the world, so it is better to use less.
"Okay, okay, I definitely won't need it if you are here, but I might not be able to do it when you are gone." Yuan Zhong said that he was still obedient.
But when Mu Qianyu heard this, she didn't mean it that way. What do you mean she is gone?
"I will take you away when I die." She said angrily.
"Goodbye, little girl, we are not husband and wife. Isn't it not good to be dependent on each other for life and death?" Yuan Zhong smiled with a guilty conscience.
He knew that Mu Qianyu had a super-grade spiritual root and would not live long. He didn't want to be taken away in just a few years.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I've heard that someone has to support you when you die." Mu Qianyu continued to scare him.
Yuan Zhong's face turned pale and he said quickly: "Little woman, I was wrong. It's not enough that I was wrong. You will definitely live a long life."
Mu Qianyu was too lazy to pay attention to him now.
Yuan Zhong seemed to understand a little after being scolded countless times. This little woman seemed to be very taboo about mentioning life expectancy and became anxious whenever it was mentioned.
Sure enough, everyone has shortcomings, and this is the little woman's Achilles' heel.
He understood and thought it would be better to avoid this topic in the future.
People in the Chaos Land seemed to have no patience, so after only the third day of negotiation, the two major forces didn't want to continue arguing, and directly beheaded a few people who came to negotiate and argue, and started fighting.
There are not many people in the gang, because there are many people to support, and they cannot afford to support them. They have more people under their jurisdiction, and it is the people who have been supporting them.
The vast majority of people in the chaotic land are ordinary but fierce people. These people are not the first echelon of the battle, so only tens of thousands of people started to attack the city.
But don't look at these tens of thousands of people. Most of these people are strong in the Emperor's Realm. There are also some in the Tianji Realm. It can be said that they are comparable to the elite soldiers of the Black Dragon Guard.
The disciples of the Mountain and River Alliance are not weak, but there are a few fewer people. They suffer a slight loss, but they can still fight.
The war was so dark that it felt like the ground was shaking while living in the city. Mu Qianyu could only draw a flying formation on the big bed, add spiritual stones in the eyes of the formation, and let the big bed float in mid-air, so that he could sleep.
Good sleep.
Liu Xiner and Tuoba Yao both shook their heads and laughed when they saw this. Nowadays, everyone in the city is in danger, but their master is the only one who can sleep peacefully. Maybe not only sleeping, but also eating less.
On the evening of the third day, the other side withdrew its troops and the Shanhe League was able to take a breather. Tens of thousands of disciples were more or less injured. If this continues, the people may only be able to defend the city.
And even if the people keep it, how long can they keep it?
At this evening, Dashang's envoy arrived. He was an official from the Ministry of Rites, named Wang Shouzheng. If Mu Qianyu remembered correctly, this old man was the Minister of Rites, and he was one of the ministers who had tried his best to advise him.
When Mu Qianyu saw this old man, she wanted to run away. These civil servants were so talkative that even she could only get through every time and did not dare to confront them head-on.
"Two, I've been waiting for a long time." Wang Shouzheng knew that the identities of Mu Qianyu and Bei Chenye should not be exposed. As officials of the Great Shang Dynasty, they could not even salute them.
"It won't be long, Master Wang, you're here at the right time," Mu Qianyu said warmly.
It's rare to see acquaintances here.
Li Qiankun of the Shanhe Alliance was also happy to come forward in person. Since the great merchants can send envoys, there is hope for sending troops.
