"It's true, so what should we do?" Balin sighed.

Xu Feng smiled faintly: "From here to Lonely Mountain, besides detouring in the dark dense forest, there is a faster way, that is to go directly through Changhu Town."

"Long Lake Town?" Sorin was slightly taken aback, "A city where humans live?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "Yes."

Thorin couldn't help frowning, and didn't speak for a long time.

"What?" asked Bilbo, "don't tell me you dwarves don't like water! It's the quickest way!"

Sorin said helplessly, "It's not that we don't want to go by water, it's just that we Lonely Mountain dwarves don't have a good relationship with the residents of Changhu Town."

Bilbo sneered. "I can imagine that."

Who would the Lonely Mountain dwarves have a better relationship with?

The answer is no one.

No one will have a good relationship with the Lonely Mountain Dwarf, except the Lonely Mountain Dwarf himself.

Balin said helplessly: "You don't understand. At the beginning, when we Lone Mountain dwarves were still in the Lone Mountain Palace, Changhu Town was flooded. At that time, the mayor of Changhu Town asked us for help. Old King Sol agreed, but asked Long Lake Town pays us 50% of their taxes every year."

"50?" Iron Hammer said angrily, "You guys are simply robbery!"

Balin sighed, "Ma'am, you need to know that we are dwarves, and the residents of Changhu Town are all human beings. The territory of Changhu Town originally belonged to us Lonely Mountain dwarves, but there were more and more humans in that place later. , it has become the territory of human beings. We did not ask human beings for our territorial rights, but only asked them to pay taxes according to the rules, and they agreed, so it’s no fault of us.”

Iron Hammer frowned and said, "Your reasons are really good."

Balin blushed and said: "In short, we rescued Changhu Town, and the residents of Changhu Town survived. But when we sent tax collectors to collect taxes, their then mayor went back on his word."

Iron Hammer laughed and said, "Nonsense, your tax is simply a tax that kills your sons and grandchildren! If it were me, I would not pay it!"

Bahrain said: "But we have a contract first, and everything should be done according to the contract."

Iron Hammer asked: "Then what happened afterwards? Did Changhu Town pay you taxes?"

Bahrain shook his head, "No, they spent a whole year and only gave us 10 taxes. Humans are so dishonest! Oh, sorry, I'm not targeting everyone present, I'm just talking about the people in Changhu Town Humanity."

Iron Hammer asked: "With the nature of you Lonely Mountain dwarves, you only receive a tax of 10, can you be willing?"

Old Bahrain blushed, "Of course we can't allow such a thing to happen. We sent an army to surround Changhu Town, and the mayor of Changhu Town at that time stood up and said that he signed the agreement and the responsibility rests with He took it on himself, he voluntarily gave up the hereditary mayor position of Changhu Town, so that his descendants would not be able to inherit the mayor position, and then committed suicide in front of everyone."

Iron Hammer frowned and said: "The hereditary mayor can be regarded as a lord, or even the king of a very small country. You have forced the lord king to death, and you have also made the family's descendants unable to inherit hereditary inheritance. This is already ruthless enough, so you should give up and withdraw your troops."

Balin blushed and scratched his head, "Our strategic policy at the time was to completely take back the territory of Changhu Town and completely drive out the residents of Changhu Town, so we did not retreat."

Iron Hammer frowned and said, "You guys are really ruthless."

Bahrain sighed helplessly: "Human beings are not our people, and we have a contract first, so we may be wrong in this war, but it is not completely wrong."

Iron Hammer asked coldly: "Then what happened afterwards? What made you give up attacking Changhu Town?"

Balin blushed and said, "Just as we were about to storm Changhu Town, a scorching fire rushed towards the Palace of the Lonely Mountain."

"Aha!" Iron Hammer gloated, "Smaug the Dragon!"

Balin nodded and said: "Yes, the dragon Smaug attacked us without any warning and arrived at the Lonely Mountain Palace. Our army besieging Changhu Town immediately retreated urgently, but it was still too late. However, we were able to survive because of this. Army, this army played an extremely important role in the subsequent Battle of the Blue Mountains."

Barring paused and continued: "Since Smaug occupied the palace of our hometown, we have no time to deal with Long Lake Town. Over the years, Long Lake Town has gradually become rich by doing water trade with wood elves, and we , but from the richest race in the world to the most desolate race."

You really deserve it!

Xufeng complained secretly in her heart.

However, he didn't show it, but said lightly: "So, Changhu Town doesn't welcome you."

Balin nodded, "I'm afraid that's the case. They think that their old mayor was forced to death by us. I heard that the descendants of the old mayor did not inherit the position of mayor that could have been hereditary. Now The mayor of the town is controlled by a despicable guy."

Xufeng said: "In any case, no matter what grievances you have with Changhu Town, judging from the current situation, we want to get rid of the pursuit of the half-orcs and wood elves as soon as possible, so the best way is to cross the Long Lake Town Town, land from the south bank of Changhu Town, and disembark from the north bank of Changhu Town, so that your Lonely Mountain Palace is close at hand."

Thorin said immediately: "Everything is up to you, we will do what you say."

With the experience of the last battle in the Misty Mountains, Sorin already believed in Xufeng's strategic vision.

Xu Feng nodded: "Very well, then we will go to Bilbo, the trading area of ​​Wood Elf City, and you will lead us in the front, and everyone else should try to walk as quietly as possible, so as not to disturb the sleeping Wood Elf."

"Yes!" the dwarves replied in a low voice.

Bilbo immediately led the way, leading Xufeng and the others to the trading area on the upper floor.

At the end of the trade area, there is a warehouse, which is used to store materials transported from Changhu Town.

There is a long river at the bottom of the warehouse, along which you can reach Changhu Town.

Bilbo quickly found the warehouse with Xufeng and others. There were two elf guards guarding the warehouse door.

Chapter 1221 Are there spies on the Elf side?

Bilbo said in a low voice, "I know what to do. Let's fill two more jugs of wine for his two guards to drink. When they fall asleep, we can pass."

Xufeng shook his head, "This place is different from the prison. The guards in the prison usually don't have access to the moonlight wine, so they must rush to drink it after seeing the moonlight wine. But the guards here in the warehouse, guarding They have long been numb to a warehouse full of moonlight wine. If you put moonlight wine next to them, instead of arousing their interest, it will make them alert."

"Well, what should we do then?" Bilbo asked suspiciously.

Xufeng said lightly: "You guys wait here and don't make a sound. I'll go and deal with them."

"Yes." The other dwarves all nodded.

Xufeng walked around the two guards lightly, and then made a sudden move, hitting the cervical vertebrae of the two elf guards with both left and right fists at the same time.

His move was fast and ruthless, and the angle was accurate. The two elf guards didn't react at all, and they didn't even hum, their burly bodies fell to the ground.

And the moment they fell to the ground, Xufeng was ready, reached out to support their bodies, and put them firmly in the corner.

Xue Di led the dwarves over quietly, and they quickly opened the warehouse door and entered the warehouse.

The whole warehouse is very huge, full of various supplies from Changhu Town, the most eye-catching of which is the barrel of moonlight wine.

Bofur laughed and said, "There's a lot of wine here, I really want to have a big drink."

Ouli also smiled and said, "Why don't we take a few barrels of wine with us, so that we can still drink on the way."

"Good! Good! I agree with this matter!"

The dwarves laughed and talked, unaware that they were still in the capital of the wood elves.

Sorin looked around, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wait, why is there no boat here!"
