Several foreigners came over to buy horses, and Xun made the deal easily. He subconsciously sighed as he walked back.
Before leaving, my father said he would be back in a few days.
But Yingren waited for more than a month, and the clan leader never showed up.
The uneasy atmosphere began to spread in the clan, and Axun tried his best to comfort him, but his prestige was not enough to convince the people. He also had to deal with all the affairs of the clan, and he was often so busy that he could not sleep a wink all night long.
Now he finally understood how important the responsibility his father shouldered and how hard it was to sit in this position.
On this day, the envoy from Yao Kingdom came again to deliver a new mission.
The task this time is very straightforward:
Robbery and murder.
An opinion leader has recently emerged in the south. He often travels around, advocating that all countries join hands to fight against the Yao people.
In the words of the envoy from the Yao Kingdom, it was "evil words that deceived the public".
But people in various countries are very fond of this trick, and they are always incited by him to make their blood boil.
This man accumulated prestige among the people and was called the "National Advisor". He also received courtesy from the monarchs of several countries. It is said that he had a deep talk with the monarch for three days and three nights in the palace of a certain king, which shows that he has won the king's heart.
Of course Yaoguo cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
"My king often says that lies cannot replace hope." Yao Shi said in his usual arrogant voice, "You will expose this false hope for my king!"
Yaoguo requested that this assassination be disguised as a robbery by bandits.
When the second uncle heard this, he was furious: "This is unreasonable. Why didn't the Yao Kingdom do it themselves for such a prestigious figure, but asked us to kill him? If we really kill him, we will not be able to hold our heads up in the Golden Plains from now on. No way.
, we won’t do this!”
"Who do you think is the elder?" Yao Shi asked, "Do you have the final say on the Ying clan?"
The second uncle glanced at Axun, who hesitated, then stepped forward and said: "The clan leader is not here, so I have the final say now. We don't..."
"We can pick it up!" A familiar voice came from outside the door, "But what conditions does Yaoguo have to offer?"
The patriarch is back.
Axun was overjoyed: "Dad!"
The second uncle was startled: "What did you say? You want to take on such a shameless task?"
The patriarch came in long strides, his shoulders as straight as a javelin. Before anyone arrived, the strong wind came first and suppressed the rest of the second uncle's words.
"That kind of person is going to grab chestnuts from the fire and dance on the tip of a knife. Sooner or later something will happen." The clan leader said coldly, "If we don't take action, others will do it. The Yao Kingdom will not let him go. So be pragmatic and let's help him seek benevolence and gain benevolence."
, he helps us get what we want!”
This last sentence was said to my younger brother.
Axun's second uncle wanted to retort, but his brother's gaze was like a tiger's, as if it wanted to devour anyone. He stared so hard that his hands and feet went numb, and he was speechless for a moment.
This is so unusual. He is also a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.
The Yao envoy immediately said: "Seventy thousand shi of grain. There is a bad harvest in various places this year, and grain is very expensive."
"Send away the beggars?" The clan leader sneered, "After we do this, our debt to the Yao Kingdom will be written off! In addition, we have the final say as to who the Chigu Horse will be sold to in the future, and we don't need the Yao Kingdom to take a hand from it! You give
I'll bring the message back, and if Yaoguo agrees, we'll do it; otherwise, you'll have to hire someone else!"
After his father appeared, Axun retreated.
Mengmeng came over and asked him in a low voice: "How much money do we owe Yaoguo?"
"It started out as 140,000 taels." Axun was still very clear about this account. "Now it's already 350,000 taels."
In five or six years, the total amount has more than tripled.
Mengmeng was so shocked that she couldn't even close her mouth: "Huh? This, did you calculate correctly?"
Axun said bitterly: "It is indeed calculated based on interest."
Yaoguo didn't give them a penny wrong in their calculations, but the interest rate itself was high!
"Yao country has always made money in this way. If we want to fight, other countries have to borrow money from them if they want to fight. After the war is over, they have to start paying back the money."
During the war, P stocks were burned, and they had to borrow money at any high interest rate.
And Yaoguo's ability is that it can really recover its debts, and no one dares to refuse to pay back the money.
"Do both sides of the war have to borrow money from it?"
"Usually, who makes the Yao country the richest?" Aluo added, "In addition to money, there are also weapons, food, soldiers and armor, etc. As for the loan sharks in the Yao country, I have only heard of the loan sharks in the Julu country.
Cleared."
Ying Ren has long been overwhelmed by this heavy debt. If he can't pay back the money, he has to do some shady or outrageous things for Yao Guo to pay off the debt.
Mengmeng said bitterly: "These vampires!"
When the envoy on the other side heard this, his eyes widened in shock: "Are you crazy?"
Ying Ren has always been like a dog at their mercy. Did she take the wrong medicine this time?
The clan leader opened the scabbard on his waist, and his murderous aura went straight towards the Yao Kingdom envoy opposite.
The latter took two steps back and shouted: "What are you doing!"
"You have the final say on this matter?" The patriarch pointed to the door, "Go back and pass the message!"
Yao Shi didn't dare to stay, so he went out in a hurry. He walked more than ten feet away before he dared to look back and glare at him.
He really couldn't make the decision, so he could only go back and report to King Yao.
After he left, Yingren exploded inside.
The second uncle said angrily: "After this work is done, can we still have a foothold in the Golden Flash Plains?"
"Whether we can gain a foothold depends on our strength!" The clan leader turned to face him with a cold tone, "The Luodian Kingdom also abandoned the alliance back then. Why is it that life is so much easier than ours and no one dares to accuse them?"
What he said was true, and the tribesmen looked at each other.
The Luodian Kingdom and the Yingren both turned against each other back then, but over the years, only the Yingren have been ostracized by their neighbors, looked down upon and sanctioned by neighboring countries. Although the reputation of the Luodian Kingdom is not good, they should do business and live their lives as they should.
As I go about my daily life, it doesn't seem to be much affected.
Why are we treated differently if we make the same mistake? This is something that Ying Ren has been resentful about for many years.
"Isn't that because the Luodian Kingdom has a stronger military than them, and its troops and horses are stronger than theirs? They couldn't defeat the Luodian Kingdom, so they came to vent their anger on Ying Ren!" The clan leader pouted on the ground, "The way of the world is like a dog's eyes. Dogs look down on others.
Idiots! When we become stronger, those around us will naturally not dare to say 'no' to us!"
"The Yao Kingdom has done so many unscrupulous things over the years, does anyone dare to point its nose at it?" He sneered again, "As long as we get rid of debts and can freely buy and sell horses, why worry about not being rich and powerful? By then,
, whoever dares to point fingers at us, we will chop off his hands and feet!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This call was sonorous and powerful, making the people's blood boil with excitement.
Yes, whoever has the bigger fist has the right. This is the survival rule of the Golden Plains!
The second uncle frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't bring it up for a while.
Only Axun looked at his father worriedly.
His father was more vicious and irritable than before. Although what he said seemed reasonable, Axun knew exactly where he had been.
Finally, the clan elder also came out and said: "Everyone, please be patient. The conditions offered by the clan leader are not low, and Yao Kingdom may not agree to them."
When the young people heard this, they were a little disappointed.
After the tribesmen dispersed and the father and son returned to their residence, A Xun saw that there was no one around before he dared to ask his father:
"You got it?"
The patriarch looked proud: "Of course!"
He took a step back, and his whole body was suddenly covered by a piece of black scale armor, from head to toe, with only his neck and face exposed.
The armor appeared suddenly, and Axun was startled. He saw that although its style was a bit primitive, it was rust-free and had very few scratches.
His own armor was full of scars, and it had only been repaired by Mengmeng in the past two days, but the Luo Sheng armor his father brought back from the ruins was as shiny as new?
"This, is this Luo Shengjia?" He circled around his father. This armor didn't look very majestic.
"Practicality is the most important thing when it comes to murderous armor." The patriarch clenched his fist and touched the tabletop lightly. He didn't hit hard, just touched it lightly, and the tabletop instantly disintegrated and fell into pieces.
Axun had good eyesight and could shoot a kite with a bow. Even though the light in the tent was slightly dim, he still noticed that there was something different about the armor plate on his father's left chest.
Although they are all nail plates, these pieces are thicker and have sharp edges.
It seems like it was added later?
"It seems like..." He reached out and wanted to touch it, but his father suddenly avoided it.
Axun's hand stopped in mid-air and slowly put it away, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Where are Ali and Ayi?" My father went out with a capable bodyguard, but when he returned they were nowhere to be seen.
The clan leader shook his head: "Jingshan Mountain is dangerous and they couldn't come out."
"Are there any evil spirits inside?"
"Yes, the worst ones are humans." The clan leader said, "A few adventurers secretly attacked them. I killed five of them, but two of them escaped."
Ah Xun's face turned slightly gloomy, but his father patted his hair and said with great ambition, "Don't look so sad! Our good days are coming soon."
He has changed from being depressed before, he speaks with vigor, moves with vigor, and has endless power in every move he makes.
All the injuries seemed to have disappeared.
Patriarch Yingren seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, to the peak of his power.
No, it's more than that.
Axun felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Dad, are you...are you okay?"
"Okay, what's wrong?" My father said in a loud voice, "I haven't had such a good time in the past ten years!"
"Is there anything strange about wearing this armor?" So many warriors fell into decline in the past. How did Luo Shengjia affect them?
"No." The father smiled proudly, "Do you think there will be an evil voice in my ears, constantly bewitching me? How can there be such a stupid thing! This armor makes you feel comfortable when you put it on, and your thoughts are clear, as if you can take them off with your hands.
Stars."
"But Luo Shengjia..."
"Don't worry, I have everything under control!"
To Axun's disappointment, Yao Guo quickly agreed to Ying Ren's terms without much bargaining.
It's really murderous.
In the next few days, Yingren began to collect intelligence, inquire about news, and track down the assassination target.
This task is not easy. The target encourages all countries to unite to resist Yao. Of course, he knows that Yao country is eager to take his head, so he has more than 200 guards with him, as well as more than ten followers with high cultivation levels——
These are the men given to him by the three kings.
How many people are there in the entire Yingren clan? They have never encountered such a tough nut to crack. If the Yingren want to capture such a target, the best way is to attack in secret rather than attack head-on.
