Chapter 1617: Stone God Department
Zhou Taifu, who has been walking the barbarian territory for many years and has rich experience, has never found out that the barbarians are actually a group of people who are so easy to deal with. One transaction after another, without a little mud and water, was completed at an astonishing speed, and the low price and high profit were beyond imagination.
Big money, big money completely! This trip down can be worth running back and forth ten times in previous years...... In order to tie up with the Hou Ye, these barbarians really "do everything", so they almost didn't pay for it, and they had to give things away for free.
Before that, Chow Tai Fook must have been nervous in his heart, after all, what Hou Ye did in the barbarian territory was too taboo. But this time when he returned to the imperial capital to report on his work, there was nothing wrong at all, and the marquis also added to the rank and became a knight, and he was promoted step by step...... So what is there to worry about!
Quietly made a silent calculation, and when this transaction is over, the dividends that can be obtained, the entire team of desolate people is smiling, and they only feel that following our loyal Marquis on an errand is really a blessing that is difficult to repair for ten lifetimes!
Of course, making money is making money, and Chow Tai Fook doesn't do anything that shouldn't be interfered with. These barbarians, openly and secretly, hinted one after another, don't they just want to get close to Hou Ye? Hmph, we can tell what is called proportion, money can be earned, and never say anything.
As a result, the barbarians who lost their fat and went out did not get any response, and they scolded in their hearts and greeted the ancestors of Zhou Tai Fook for more than ten generations.
But when I turned my head and met him, I had to smile and greet him affectionately.
Even, the barbarians and powerhouses of various departments sometimes feel aggrieved when they engage in it...... How could these people have thought that one day, they would end up in front of the desolate people!
Chow Tai Fook can pretend to be confused, but the so-called old patriarch of the Aoyagi Clan, who eats people with short hands and soft mouths, is painful and happy, and he feels tormented when he is very open.
After hesitating again and again, seeing that if he didn't go to find a desolate man Zhongwuhou, those strong people in various departments who gave gifts were about to turn their faces, so he gritted his teeth and could only bite the bullet to meet him.
Fortunately, things went very well, and after settling in the camp, Zhongwu Hou, who had been busy with retreat and cultivation, soon met with him.
"Meet Master Hou. The old patriarch bowed.
Qin Yu glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "The old patriarch is full of red light, it seems that this period of time has been very prosperous." ”
The old patriarch smiled bitterly and waved his hand again and again, "Master Hou, don't laugh at the old man." He took out a storage ring and offered it with both hands, "Among them, it is half of the income from the recent gifts, and now our Qingliu Department is poor, and all aspects need expenses, even if the old man is cheeky, he takes advantage of the Hou Ye." ”
Qin Yu glanced at the storage ring in his hand, "I don't want anything from Benhou, it can be regarded as the rent paid to the Aoyagi Department." He stepped on his feet, "After all, our team of desolate people is now making money today, and thanks to the willingness of the patriarch to give us this place." ”
The old patriarch hesitated slightly, looked up at Qin Yu's expression, nodded and put away the storage ring, and his smile became brighter and brighter, "A generous tenant like Hou Ye, even if there is another pile, we will not have too many Qingliu Division!"
Of course, he knew that the so-called rent was an excuse, and what Zhongmu Hou really cared about was the attitude of the Aoyagi Department when facing the four-part coalition army.
The so-called reciprocating peach is like this, because of this, he hesitated slightly, put away the storage ring, and insisted on sending it out, but it is not good, it may make Zhongwu Hou, misunderstand that the Aoyagi Department wants to be bigger, it is better to be like this, and it is better to clear each other.
Qin Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, "Don't stand and talk, patriarch, please sit down, I brought some tea from the Western Wilderness, it tastes pretty good, you can taste it." ”
He reached out to get the teapot, but the old patriarch hurriedly stopped him, "Don't you dare to work for the Hou Ye, I'll just come by myself." After pouring a cup of tea and taking two sips, the old patriarch gave a thumbs up, "Good tea, good tea!"
Qin Yu seemed to be smiling, "It seems that the patriarch came here today, not just to share the benefits with Benhou, if there is anything, just say it directly." ”
The old patriarch looked shocked, and coughed lightly: "Master Hou is wise! We barbarians also have an old saying, saying that if you eat your neighbor's cattle and sheep, you must return fertilizer to others...... In short, we have received a lot of gifts from various styles of Aoyanagi, and we have to do things for others. ”
Glancing at Qin Yu's face, he took out a parchment roll from his arms, "On this, there are several tribes with the heaviest gifts, all of them are rich and powerful, and they are the first-class rich people in our Western Barbarian territory." They have promised that as long as Hou Ye is willing to help, they will give a large amount of reward, and they will definitely satisfy Hou Ye. ”
Qin Yu drank tea and tapped his fingers on the tabletop.
The old patriarch came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, our Qingliu Department has already done screening in advance to ensure that the barbarian department above has not participated in the previous matter." ”
Qin Yu smiled, "If the patriarch has a heart, then Benhou will take a look." After a pause, he continued: "But whether one of these tribes will be chosen, Ben Hou can't guarantee. ”
The old patriarch smiled and nodded, "The old man accepted the gift, it was just a promise to send this list to the Hou Ye, and now the agreement has been completed." As for the end, how Lord Hou chooses is your own business, and Aoyagibu has no opinion. ”
On the parchment roll, there were six barbarian names listed, Qin Yu read it from beginning to end, put down his hand and groaned silently. The boundary breaking order must continue to be built, otherwise it will not be able to stabilize the Western Wilderness, which is also the main purpose of Qin Yu to enter the territory of the barbarians.
In fact, although he had been cultivating all this time, he had already had some plans in his heart. And the layout of the boundary breaking order is not casual, just choose a place.
For example, this time, along with the materials sent to Qin Yu, there was also a marked map. The Shishen Department, which is one of the targets of the Western Wilderness, happens to be on the parchment roll, and ranks first.
The old patriarch drank tea quietly, acting as he said, as long as the list was sent to Qin Yu's eyes, it would be considered as having completed the explanation.
As for who will be chosen in the end, that is the matter of the Marquis of Zhongwu...... That's what really smart people are.
"Patriarch. ”
"Master Hou, please speak. The old patriarch put down his teacup.
Qin Yu smiled, his fingers tapped the parchment scroll, "The Stone God Department ranked first, has the most gifts for you?"
The old patriarch's face was slightly red, and he nodded, "Don't dare to hide it from Master Hou, the stone god department sent this time, a piece of the stone spirit produced by its tribal totem when it advanced in the early years, can be greatly accelerated, and the growth rate of our totem divine willow, in terms of value and practicability, is indeed the highest." ”
"However, the fundamental reason for listing the Ishigami Department in the first place is not the case. Hou Ye knows, in the early years, our totem Shenliu suffered a thunderstorm, and all these years have been struggling to survive, the strength of the Qingliu Department has declined, and its status has plummeted. The reason why he has been able to maintain his territory for so many years, despite the constant small frictions, has never been bullied is because of the help of the Stone God Ministry. I, the Aoyagi Ministry, have already been friends with the Ishigami Ministry, and even this time, the four major ministries joined forces to coerce, and the Ishigami Ministry also made it clear that they were against it, putting a lot of pressure on them. ”
Qin Yu nodded, believing that in this regard, the old patriarch would not talk nonsense, and after thinking for a while, he smiled, "Then this time, I will choose the Stone God Department." ”
The old patriarch was overjoyed, got up and saluted, "Thank you, Master Hou!"
Qin Yu said: "Friendship is friendship, but what should be there is nothing missing, the patriarch understands what Benhou means?"
The old patriarch patted his chest and said, "Master Hou, rest assured, the totem divine stone of the Stone God Department has been stuck in the bottleneck for more than two hundred years, and the tribe has lost many hairs for this." As long as Hou Ye is willing to make a move, even if he wants the stars in the sky, they are willing to agree!"
Blinking, the old patriarch lowered his voice, "Moreover, don't hide it from the Hou Ye, these rich people on the parchment roll, the foundation of the Shishen Department, is one of the best......"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, "The patriarch doesn't seem to have finished speaking." ”
The old patriarch raised his hand and rubbed his face, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou has good eyesight." He hesitated, his voice lowering a few points, "I heard...... Ahem, the old man just heard that about six or seven hundred years ago, because of some particularities of the totem divine stone, the stone god department actually caused a piece of extraterrestrial death, and the change of direction fell directly in the tribal station. ”
"It is said that this must be a disaster, and in fact, the Stone God Department did have a lot of casualties, but it is said that afterwards, the patriarch of the Stone God Department smiled and almost showed his back molars, as if he had picked up a ...... Ahem, what a great treasure I picked up......"
Qin Yu glanced at the old patriarch, his eyes playful and silent.
"Uh...... This is the case, the Hou Ye decided on his own, and the old man didn't bother and said goodbye. The old patriarch stood up and took his leave.
The stars fell from the sky, it seems to be a good treasure, the patriarch of the Shishen Department back then probably showed off too much. Tsk, it's wise not to show your wealth, otherwise even if it takes a few hundred years, there may be problems.
The corners of Qin Yu's mouth hooked, and while joking with the old patriarch of the Qingliu Clan, he actually understood a little in his heart that the reason why he said the initiative was because he didn't want Qin Yu to learn from others in the future that the harmonious relationship between the two parties would be ruined.
At this moment, the voice of flesh suddenly sounded in my ears, "I want this star." ”
Qin Yu touched his nose and said helplessly: "You won't be listening all the time, right?" I think it's better to give people a little privacy. ”
Flesh sneered, "Privacy, okay, I can give it to you, then this matter of the Stone God Department, just bother you to do it yourself." ”
Qin Yu was choked and breathless, and smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's all my fault, Miss Meat can do whatever she wants!"
"Humph!"
"Well, you're awake again? It's been a few days, I guess you're hungry. Qin Yu said as he walked out, "Hurry up and let the chefs of the 'root people' cook, I'll go over to eat with you, it's too boring to stay alone." ”
The flesh is rare, there is no cynicism, and after a little silence, he said yes.
This abnormal behavior frightened Qin Yu and almost turned his head and left, thinking to himself about the state of the flesh today, could something have happened?
Outside the tree house, the flesh on the soft couch of the branches gritted his teeth for a while, thinking that Qin Yu, this bastard, was really hateful!
After hesitating again and again, Qin Yu was still reluctant, and lost the opportunity to eat and drink in front of him.
Fortunately, although the flesh's face was ugly, the whole process was quite smooth.
Hold on again!
Qin Yu was a little upset, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the meat opposite, "I probably have to sleep for a while, can I borrow a piece of land?"
Rourou frowned, with a look of disgust, but he still snorted coldly and waved his hand. Immediately, another branch came over and made a soft couch of the same style for Qin Yu.
"Haha, thank you!"
Qin Yu took a step back and turned around, thinking to himself that there was really no one else to enjoy this enjoyment.
In addition, it is really difficult for them to be so skilled in serving people, and they don't know what they can only practice.
The strength of the wine was indeed very strong, and in addition, he had been in a state of cultivation for this period of time, Qin Yu was tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
On the soft couch opposite, the meat who drank wine in small sips, glanced at Qin Yu, who was sleeping soundly opposite, the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking that this kid's guts were really not small, and he dared to sleep to death in front of her.
However, his eyes quietly softened, and he got up with a slight hesitation, walked to Qin Yu and squatted down, looking at his eyebrows seriously.
The means of transformation, no matter how subtle, are illusory to the flesh, because she observes the souls of living beings.
Obviously it's very strange, I don't have any impression, but why can't I control my thoughts? Raising his hand, his fleshy fingers, gently touched Qin Yu's eyebrows.
She frowned, withdrew her hand, and took out a piece of white yarn out of nowhere, and wiped it vigorously and burned it to ashes.
"Humph!"
With a sneer, she returned to the soft couch and sat down, "I forgot what happened just now, whoever dares to remember the slightest, I will burn it!"
The two flattering trees did not move at all, and did not react at all, but in fact this was the real clever response. We're just, two trees that don't know anything, and since we don't know anything, of course we can't hear what our master is saying now.
But...... Qin Yu's status in the master's mind is really unusual. It seems that he will have to be better with him in the future, and maybe one day, he will sleep in the same bed with his master.
Whew-
A flame came out of thin air, enveloping the two big trees at the same time, and a large branch was burned into ashes in an instant, and the busy "root people" on the ground fell to the ground one by one with their heads in their hands.
Rourou gritted his teeth and said, "You two, do you really want to die?"
The two trees shivered.
But in fact, the branches that were burned by the flames were restored to their original state in the blink of an eye. After all, to some extent, they are inherently immortal species in this world.
The so-called "immortality" of course means that it is difficult to be killed, otherwise even if you have a long life, you will be hacked to death with one knife, and you will be considered a fart immortal.
......
When Qin Yu was full of wine and food and fell asleep, the old patriarch of the Qingliu Clan, who had returned to the station, had already found the left-behind elder of the Shishen Clan and told him the good news.
"Thank you, Patriarch,!" Elder Shishen on the other side, his old face flushed, and he was extremely excited.
The old patriarch coughed lightly, "There is something, I think I should remind you, you tell the old monkey, you must prepare a share, the most valuable reward of your Shishen Department, otherwise the desolate Zhongwu Marquis is not satisfied, and I am afraid that things will change otherwise." When the time comes, your totem divine stone will be angry, and you, including the old monkey, will be scolded to death. ”
Minister Shijin's eyes widened, and he looked at the old patriarch opposite, his lips trembling.
The old patriarch's face was full of innocence, "Look at what the old man is doing?" Do you think that even if I don't say it, the desolate man Zhongwuhou won't know? Hmph, if you want to blame the old monkey, who made him too arrogant back then, and said what bullshit and nonsense that misfortune and fortune relied on, and now he will be punished!"
Minister Ishigami knew very well that the old patriarch of the Aoyagi clan in front of him and the patriarch of the Zi family were old friends who had grown up together since childhood and had a deep friendship, and it was common for them to curse each other, so they were not angry because of this.
He smiled wryly, probably thinking that what the old patriarch said was good. Since the family looks good, it is just that he loves to show this, how many years have not changed, and he smiled bitterly and gave his hand, "I will present this matter to the patriarch." ”
