C434 The Chaos Before the War



C434 The Chaos Before the War

Mangshan Town was a medium-sized town. It was located at the border between Heavenly Boat Kingdom and Light Wind Kingdom. Due to its geographical location, there were a lot of people here every day, and most of them were businessmen.    

    

Although the relationship between the Heavenly Boat Kingdom and the Light Wind Kingdom had been deteriorating over the past few years... However, the merchants who wanted to make money didn't care about that much. It was precisely because of the worsening relationship that the trade between the two countries' official channels was terminated. The smuggling here was even more secretive than before. They earned even more.    

    

Of course, it could not be said to be a secret, because in a place like the Mang Mountain, this was already a public secret. The merchants of the two countries would communicate with each other here.    

    

However, in the recent few days, this place was more lively than usual. Apart from the merchants who brought carriages, there were many people wearing swords and samurai uniforms. Moreover, more and more people like this came.    

    

"Boss Li, how have you been recently?" In the streets of Mangshan Town, a middle-aged man seemed to have seen a good friend of his and greeted him.    

    

"I'm just making a living. I can't compare to you, Boss Qian. I heard... Recently, you've sold a lot of tea leaves in Light Wind Kingdom and earned quite a lot of money. " Another person said with a smile. Looking at him, it was obvious that he wasn't just making a living.    

    

"If you, Boss Li, are just making a living, then all of us will have no food to eat." The middle-aged man obviously did not believe it, and he also had a smile on his face. Although the relationship between the Heavenly Boat Kingdom and the Light Wind Kingdom was tense, it didn't seem to have much to do with merchants like them. One couldn't tell from their faces that they were worried about the country. In their point of view, as long as they could earn money, as for who would be their emperor... There was no difference.    

    

"I lost a batch of goods a while ago. The road is not peaceful. I just rested for a while. I didn't expect that... Mangshan Town is much livelier than before. " Boss Li looked at the bustling crowd around him and replied.    

    

"It's just a matter of these few days." Boss Qian had obviously been here for some time, so he knew about the situation here.    

    

Although they didn't care about the war between the two countries, but... After all, it was smuggling and the road was very dangerous. Therefore, these bosses would only follow the goods to Mangshan Town. As for the more dangerous road, naturally, some of their subordinates would follow them. They would stay in Mangshan Town and wait for the merchant group to return. That was why Mangshan Town had always been so lively. It was even more prosperous than some small counties. It was because there were many merchant groups who had come out of seclusion and the bosses who had stayed behind.    

    

Of course, this was also because these bosses were all small bosses. They could earn money, but they didn't earn much. As for the big bosses, they obviously wouldn't risk their lives. They wouldn't follow the trade caravans here.    

    

"Oh, what's going on? I don't think these people are doing business." Boss Li looked ahead and saw two groups of people not far away. They seemed to be quarreling and even showing signs of making a move.    

    

"Of course they are not doing business. They are all people from the pugilistic world. Look at their waists and you will understand." Boss Qian also saw the incident in front of him. Boss Li would be surprised by this. After all, everyone was doing things that couldn't be exposed. Therefore, even if something happened, they wouldn't deliberately create a scene. After all, that wouldn't be good for anyone.    

    

However, Boss Qian wasn't surprised by such a thing. "Look at the one in front. It's just a small scene. Over the past few days, there have been some disputes or fights happening here every day. Two days ago, when I was drinking in the restaurant... I even saw dozens of people fighting in front of me. That scene... It was really hot."    

    

"People from the pugilistic world? Why are they here? And why are there so many of them? " Boss Li said in surprise. These little bosses wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the restaurant. Everyone knew that the restaurants in this town... The big bosses behind them were all the generals who guarded this place. Therefore, they didn't dare to go and embarrass themselves.    

    

"It's all because of the war with the Light Wind Kingdom." Boss Qian curled his lips and said. He didn't have any objections to this war. After all, no matter how fierce the war was, it wouldn't affect him. Furthermore, the fiercer the fight, the better his business would be. However, many of these people in the martial arts world wouldn't be reasonable. He did not even know when he would accidentally offend them. Therefore... For the past few days, he had taken the initiative to avoid these people, in case he got into trouble.    

    

"The war with the Light Wind Kingdom?" Boss Li was a little puzzled. "Isn't this the matter of those big shots? What does it have to do with these people from the pugilistic world? It's not like we have never fought before. Aren't these people the same as us, watching coldly from the sidelines? "    

    

"It seems like Boss Li, you haven't understood the situation outside during this period of time." Boss Qian said, "I heard that it was those people from the Light Wind Kingdom who broke the rules first. They took the initiative to participate in the war and the troops of the Light Wind Kingdom. They fought together and wanted to fight for the territory of those people from the ___ in our country. Therefore, those people from the pugilistic world in our country have no choice but to accept the challenge. "    

    

"So that's how it is. No wonder there are so many people here." After all, this was a border area. Once a war broke out between the two countries... Boss Li and Boss Qian were also preparing to finish this business deal. They would temporarily withdraw from Mangshan Town. If they stayed here any longer... Who knew if he would be dragged into this? At that time, he wouldn't even know how he died.    

    

"Therefore, even the General of this place wouldn't dare to offend these people from the pugilistic world. After all, there were too many of them and they were here to help. Therefore, those who found out about the fights in the restaurants and the streets... They can only turn a blind eye to it." Boss Qian continued.    

    

"You're right, these people from the pugilistic world are about to face the enemies of the Light Wind Kingdom, but they are still fighting amongst themselves at this moment." Boss Li shook his head and sighed.    

    

"This is already considered good. These people have already restrained themselves. Although there are all kinds of conflicts happening every day, however... There weren't many people who actually started fighting, and there weren't any deaths either. These people clearly know that this isn't the time to intensify the conflict. " Boss Qian said.    

    

Those people in the pugilistic world usually had hot tempers. Those who could make a move and not make a move would definitely have some personal conflicts. It was not easy for them to reach this stage now.    

    

Boss Li looked at the crowd not far away. They were unwilling to leave, but they were not optimistic about the upcoming battle.
