Chapter 77 The envy of the barbarians of the barbarian tribe!
Chapter 77 The envy of the barbarian tribesmen!
The barbarian from the barbarian tribe was tied tightly with a hemp rope. He fell to the ground and struggled from side to side. It was obvious that the guards' actions were too rough, which made him a little unbalanced.
But Manzi kept repeating things like, I am not a spy, I am a good citizen.
Yao Yun frowned slightly: "Leopard tribe? Gu has already let you go, why do you still dare to sneak around Gu's iron mine? What kind of evil ideas are you planning?"
When Manzi heard this, he was stunned. How could he dare to attack ghosts? Hundreds of ghosts were howling at night in the mine. He was so frightened that he was caught by the patrolling Xidu soldiers in a panic.
"Your Majesty, you are wronged. I have no ill intentions and I don't dare to have any ill intentions."
Seeing the aggrieved and honest look on his face, Yao Yun couldn't judge the authenticity from his words, so he used the magical power of discerning people.
Haoshan: Awe, second-grade root and bone qualifications, mediocre mental qualifications, strong muscles and bones, and full of qi and blood.
Yao Yun was stunned. The other party's favor towards him was awe, not hatred. The most interesting thing was that the other party turned out to be a warrior who was expected to become a Qi Refiner. He also had second-level bone qualifications, strong muscles and bones, and full Qi and blood.
.
This kind of person can become the backbone elite of a hunting team in any tribe, and is a rare talent even in other vassal states.
In this way, the other party should not be lying. After all, who would let a junior with good cultivation potential become a spy, unless the tribe leader Song has lost his mind.
"What's your name? Why do you appear around the mine?"
"My name is Haoshan, and I broke in accidentally. We went into the mountains to hunt, and it took us a long time to see a deer. Everyone was excited, and they chased after each other with howls. During the hunt, everyone and I
I got separated, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, the road was buried, and I was lost."
Cang Man looked ugly and questioned: "Then why did you run away in a hurry? Isn't it because there is something wrong in your heart?"
"I came to the king's mine and heard the wailing of hundreds of ghosts. I was frightened. I started running away before I saw you. That's when I alerted you, and then you captured me."
Haoshan looked innocent and said: "There are so many ghosts in the mine. I don't want to live so I went in there. Your Majesty, what I said is true. Please have mercy on me!"
Cang Man was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to continue to refute, but after thinking about it, it was right. The other party was not a Qi Refiner. It would be strange if he didn't run away when he heard the howling of hundreds of ghosts.
Yao Yun had no reaction on the surface, but he believed it in his heart, so he asked: "You just said that you were going hunting, how is the situation of your leopard tribe?"
Hearing this, Hao Shan's pupils shrank and he looked at Yao Yun warily, his eyes full of perseverance. He clearly heard Yao Yun's words but turned a blind eye and lowered his head silently.
Yao Yun suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but snorted: "If you want to harm the Leopard Tribe, is there still a way for your Leopard Tribe to survive? It was wiped out long before winter!"
When Haoshan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, and his face was troubled. After a long while, he hesitated and said: "The situation is very bad. The people's food was at the bottom a few days ago. The leaders then led us into the mountains to hunt.
Hunting in winter is more difficult, our harvest is not very good, and several tribesmen have died of freezing and starvation."
When Yao Yun heard this, he deliberately used his discerning eyes to identify people again. He found that Haoshan was still in awe of him and did not feel any hatred. Yao Yun couldn't help but be speechless.
Haoshan seemed to realize something, so he continued: "I am very grateful to the king for not disregarding the past and giving us food for the Leopard tribe. Otherwise, we would have been in even greater difficulties. Alas, our leader is a good leader, but his son Zhifu thinks very highly of himself.
This time everyone suffered from him, but it turned out that he was doing well, and he even secretly hid a muntjac leg some time ago!"
It can be seen from Haoshan's face that he is very dissatisfied with Zhifu, but he does not have much hatred for Yao Yun, the king.
Yao Yun sighed in his heart, it was indeed a world where the strong was king, because he was the strong one, and it would not be an exaggeration to suppress or even kill offenders.
He punished the Leopard tribe, which seemed natural to the people of the Leopard tribe. However, the king's arrogance surprised the people of the Leopard tribe, and then everyone vented their anger on Zhifu.
This scene is what Yao Yun hopes to see.
"Gu didn't give you tribe food, it was just an exchange of materials. Everyone got what they needed from each other. If you had surrendered to Xidu, your life would have been much easier, but it's a pity..."
Haoshan's face was gloomy. This winter, the tribesmen's intestines were turning green with regret. They secretly scolded Zhifu countless times. If there was a next time, they would still dare to be so presumptuous.
"Your Majesty, we were wrong. From now on, only Your Majesty will follow your lead." Haoshan prostrated himself on the ground.
Yao Yun nodded slightly, and then said: "I believe what you said, but I can't let you go now. After all, no one will testify for you to get rid of the suspicion. You can stay in Xidu until the spring when the Leopard tribe comes to worship in Xidu."
People from your tribe will take you back!"
Haoshan originally thought he was dead, but suddenly saved his life and immediately grinned.
Yao Yun waved his hand and then ordered: "Xidu does not support idle people. You can dig manure pits to earn food rations with the people of Xidu."
Yao Yun can be regarded as making the best use of his resources. The corvee collection in Xidu has been used in advance. Yao Yun cannot increase the number of corvees, so there is a shortage of labor. Now a free labor is not used in vain.
Soon, Cangman led Haoshan out of the palace and arranged for him to dig a cesspool.
Haoshan soon joined the army of people digging cesspits. Holding the hoe in his hand, he was instantly shocked.
"This...such a sharp tool is actually used for farm work?"
As expected of the legendary Xidu, even the tools used to dig holes were so sharp and hard that the leader's war spear was far inferior. At this moment, Haoshan's heart was extremely complicated.
It's far, far, far behind.
"Big man, why are you just sitting around without working? You can eat the king's rations for free. Believe it or not, we will report you to the witch temple for cheating and cheating." Someone nearby saw Haoshan in a daze and scolded him directly.
Haoshan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, very respectfully: "I am from a barbarian tribe. I went hunting in the mountains and got lost. I was brought into the city by the Xidu army. The king was kind and gave me food. I am grateful for what I just saw.
This weapon is a bit shocking."
When the people of Xidu heard that he was a barbarian, they immediately felt proud and superior. While urging Haoshan to work, they said with a proud face: "It's called an iron hoe. It's a farming tool made by the craftsmen ordered by the king. It's not a weapon.
Real weapons are much sharper and harder than him!"
When Haoshan heard this, he was immediately in awe, and he was even more upset in his heart. Fortunately, the king let their leopard tribe go, otherwise the leopard tribe could be easily wiped out with Xidu's armor. He had always heard about Xidu before.
There are so many strong people, but now we know that Xidu is strong in all aspects, especially weapons, which is simply unimaginable.
When the people of Xidu saw the barbarian, they were shocked by him, so the smiles on their faces became even stronger:
"You said you went into the mountains to hunt in winter and got lost?"
"Yes, there are few prey in the heavy snow. I chased the prey too hastily, and then I broke away from the team and lost my way."
"Hey, it's so dangerous in the mountains this winter. You're lucky, otherwise you'd probably freeze to death or starve to death in the mountains."
"yes"
Haoshan sighed, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
When the people of Xidu heard this, they said proudly: "Speaking of which, we are in the same boat. My family was hit by a disaster in the first half of the year, and our food reserves were low. They were all gone a few days ago. Originally, I was planning to go hunting in the mountains to fight for my life, but...
..."
Haoshan was curious: "But what?"
Hearing this, the people of Xidu said proudly: "We have a king! The king knew that we had no food, so he organized us to work and said that we were hired. Not only did we work and take care of the food, but we also distributed food after the work was done. Now our family
Everyone, young and old, can survive this winter safely!"
After hearing this, Hao Shan felt a feeling of envy without realizing it. If his people also lived in Xidu, there wouldn't be so many people starving to death.
The people of Xidu were excited and excited: "Barbarian, do you know what we are digging for?"
Haoshan asked blankly: "What are you digging?"
"We dug cesspits and built sixty huts at once. You think it's strange or not? Well, your Majesty has good intentions. It's just a random excuse for us common people who have no food!"
Hearing the chatter of the people in Xidu, Haoshan fell silent. While he was immersed in his work, he couldn't help but peek at the people in Xidu who were working enthusiastically.
At that moment, infinite envy arose deep in his heart.
