Chapter 880: The Decision (2)

Almost everyone agreed on this point because they had seen how miserable those people who tried to breach inside. Those who managed to survive would have their mental disturbed because they said that the mountain was so scary.     

It had countless traps.     

And there were a lot of skilled assassins resided in that area.     

The four kingdoms had tacitly agreed to let Xia Mountains alone because they didn't think that it would be possible for them to subdue Dark Moon Organization without sacrificing a lot of their soldiers.     

Not to mention, Dark Moon Organization was not alone there.     

There were some tribes who lived deep in the mountains.     

Then, there was also the mountain tribe who lived at the far west area, which was within Zhang Xu Kingdom. They had been staying still inside the mountain but even those from Zhang Xu Kingdom didn't dare to get close.     

Those people were savages.     

And Zhang Xu Kingdom had lost a lot of people when they tried to negotiate in the past despite using their most powerful poison to deal with the mountain tribes.     

Thus, everyone tacitly agreed to not cross those areas.     

"Did he say how?" an official asked as greed flashed in his eyes. If he could also reach an agreement with those two big rulers of Xia Mountain, he could basically control the access point between the four kingdoms.     

"He didn't say." Prime Minister Xian looked at that official as if he was looking at an idiot.     

There was no way Long Qian Xing would tell them how he managed to reach the agreement. Not to mention, he had heard that Long Qian Xing himself nearly lost his life in the process.     

It certainly hadn't been easy for him either.     

"That's too bad." The official turned to look at his friends. They all shook their head as it was not the right time for them to ask about this matter. Even if they wanted to, they had to wait until the war is over.     

"There are still rules that the soldiers will follow, but as long as they follow what Long Qian Xing warned them, they should be able to pass through the Xia Mountains." Prime Minister Xian took out a ruler and pointed at the Xia Mountains. "There will also be the supplies line for the battle until we can settle in that area."     

"Is it possible for us to build road?"     

"They wouldn't allow it. The agreement is just to let Fei Yang Kingdom soldiers pass during the spring to have a battle with Wei Da Kingdom." Prime Minister Xian glanced at that official. "And the Long Family had paid a lot for this agreement, which is why we have prepared compensation for them."     

Compensation.     

Emperor Yang Zhou's eyelids twitched when he thought of Long Qian Xing's acting to ask for compensation not long ago. He felt that his friend of his was really cunning to ask for compensation when he didn't spend that much.     

He even had to pay for the Dark Moon Organization help service during his assassination back then since Long Qian Xing asked. This made him really wonder whether Long Qian Xing is a merchant or a soldier.     

That was quite upsetting.     

Also….     

The agreement was already taken care for a long time ago. What Long Qian Xing had to agree was for the Dark Moon Organization to be able to move freer in Fei Yang Kingdom.     

(Long Qian Xing told Emperor Yang Zhou because he needed to tell the others in case there was some dispute)         

The so called money compensation?     

There was none.     

It was just Long Qian Xing's method to extort some money in order to make sure that he could grow his soldiers stronger and protect his family better.     

*sigh*     

If Long Qian Xing is not his friend and also his comrade, Emperor Yang Zhou would have long scolded that man. Though, other people wouldn't even know the truth since Long Qian Xing only divulged it to him and not to anyone else.     

"I see."     

"How about the plan after we reach Wei Da Kingdom?"     

"Are the people in Xia Mountains going to help us with this?"     

"They won't be participating in the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom. If you want to, you can actually hire some of them to do assassination request, but you have to bear the payment by yourself." Prime Minister Lan scoffed.     

The officials shrunk their neck.     

The location for them to ask for Dark Moon Organization's assassination request was hard to find. Even if they find one, they might not be able to pay the necessary amount. Someone had once tried that and nearly emptied his family's fortune just for him to ask for an assassination request.     

In order for them to post a request, they had to give half of the payment first. That was to ensure that they had the capital to pay for the request.     

Not to mention, not all request will be accepted.     

When the request is not accepted by any of the assassins, it could be either the reward is not worth the effort or if the person in question is not someone who could be touched easily. At that time, they would give notice that the request is not taken and that the Dark Moon Organization would return the half of the payment they promised.     

Minus the shipping cost.     

It was very expensive…     

Not everyone was capable of asking something like that.     

In addition, Dark Moon Organization didn't have any branch in the Capital City. They could only go to another city if they really want to make the request.     

"Prime Minister Lan is joking. The price to kill a general from another kingdom will certainly be very expensive." One of the officials let out a dry laugh. He was not stupid enough to try posting a mission when he knew that the chance for the mission to be accepted with meagre reward is very slim.     

Prime Minister Lan snorted. It was good that they knew that.
