Although Li Qing taught the mastiff tribe the language back then, the mastiff tribe still maintained its original simplicity, and they chose to believe unconditionally in the words of sacrifice.

There was no need for Li Qing to explain anything, the Mastiff tribe identified Li Qing as their master, and took out the mastiff feather crown that had been treasured for a long time and put it on Li Qing's head.

"King~"

"King~"

The warriors of the mastiff tribe cheered in unison, Li Qing looked at the pious old priest, and suddenly a sense of pride surged in his heart, since God is destined to let him have the ability to live forever, how can he continue to waste his time, and he should do something to this world.

Just forty miles away from the Mastiff Tribe, a team of disheveled but all armed with weapons was slowly approaching the Mastiff Tribe's station.

This is the thief of Mount Tai, the first person is called Dewey, who is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, because he offended the local Haoqiang, he pulled a group of brothers to hide in Mount Tai, after more than ten years of development, gradually became a big force in Mount Tai.

"Big brother, why do we want to provoke those barbarians, their skills are not small, if they attack hard, the brothers may suffer a lot of losses."

The second leader of the bandit came to Dewey's side, and asked with a puzzled face, the mastiff tribe has existed in Xuzhou for hundreds of years, although there are not many people in this tribe, and they don't like to communicate with the outside world, but everyone nearby knows that they are a group of guys with very strong combat effectiveness, and the second master really can't figure out why the shrewd big brother must rob the ancestral land of the mastiff clan.

Dewey was a very honest man on the outside, seven feet tall, with a big waist and a smile on his face all the time.

Dewey said with a smile: "Second brother, do you know, there is a gold mine under the ancestral land of this mastiff tribe, if we get that batch of gold mines, we can go to Luoyang to find the emperor Lao'er to buy an official office, why bother hiding in the mountains every day, and suffer from the poisonous insects of the mandrill." ”

"Gold Mine!"

The eyes of the second master suddenly widened, and Dewey hurriedly signaled: "Don't publicize it, I will tell you about this matter, if it spreads, where will it be our turn to get this gold mine, how can that guy Song Lu let us swallow the benefits alone?" ”

Song Lu, is another mountain king on Mount Tai, this Mount Tai claims to have 72 road thieves, Song Lu, known as Song Tianwang, is the most powerful force on Mount Tai, and Dewey's power can only rank third, if Song Lu knows about the gold mine, a piece of the pie is a trivial matter, I am afraid that Song Lu directly swallowed the gold mine alone, with Song Lu's strength, it can be done.

The second master nodded hurriedly, there were more than 3,500 bandits under Dewey's command, most of them were composed of people fleeing nearby, and the weapons in their hands were even more varied, including the iron swords and iron spears of the Han Dynasty, as well as the copper axes and copper ges of the Warring States Period, and even more, they directly held the bronze swords of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"King, this is all the warriors of our tribe, one thousand three hundred and fifty-four, who have fought with wild beasts since childhood, and they are all warriors who are ten warriors."

The old priest introduced Li Qing to the current mastiff tribe, listening to the introduction of the old priest, Li Qing frowned deeply, more than 400 years, the strength of the mastiff tribe has not increased much, according to Li Qing's estimate, the current mastiff tribe has to have a scale of tens of thousands of people, but now even if you add the old and young women and children, the entire mastiff tribe is more than 3,000 people, which is too different from Li Qing's expectations.

Li Qing raised his own questions, and the old priest said with a bitter face: "Wang, originally my clan should indeed be more than now, but unfortunately more than two hundred years ago, there was an emperor named Wang Mang, he ordered that people in all regions must register and pay taxes, even our tribes who hid in the deep mountains and old forests are no exception, of course we are not willing to accept his rule, therefore, there was a conflict with the court at that time, and many clansmen were killed in the battle, fortunately, there were two armies of Red Mei and Green Forest at that time, so we could wait for the return of the king." ”

"Wang Mang......"

Li Qing didn't expect Wang Mang to almost destroy the mastiff tribe, in fact, Wang Mang's strategy of recruiting displaced people to increase taxes was actually not a problem, but Wang Mang underestimated the strength of the family, and forcibly banned the sale of land and slaves, forcing the family to come out and overthrow him, but unfortunately he was still asleep at the time, otherwise he really wanted to meet this friend from the next generation.

Li Qing suddenly thought of the Taishan thief that Fu Nian had said at the beginning, and asked, "By the way, I just heard Fu Nian say that there are thieves invading, what is going on?" ”

When the old priest heard this, his face changed, and he said: "Alas, I was so happy just now that I almost forgot about the business, Xinghu, quickly let everyone prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Xinghu also reacted at this time, and hurriedly shouted at the mastiff warriors to prepare to defend against the approaching enemy.

At this time, the old priest also explained to Li Qing in detail the crisis faced by the mastiff tribe, and the cause was actually because of a gold mine.

It turned out that Li Qing just randomly chose a place for the mastiff tribe to settle down, but what he didn't expect was that under this ancestral land called by the mastiff tribe, there was actually a rich gold mine.

The smuggler had a very close relationship with Dewey, he knew that he couldn't eat the mastiff tribe, so he sold this secret to Dewey, and Dewey was naturally ecstatic when he heard that there was a big gold mine in the ancestral land of the mastiff tribe, and immediately gave an ultimatum to the mastiff tribe to let the mastiff tribe give up the gold mine.

Not to mention the value of the gold mine to the mastiff tribe, just living in the ancestral land for hundreds of years, the mastiff tribe can't give up the ancestral land because of someone else's words, so the mastiff tribe has begun to actively prepare for war these days, just before Li Qing arrived, the mastiff tribe had just been notified that the thieves of Mount Tai were about to arrive, so the tiger would treat Li Qing as a thief of Mount Tai.

Li Qing didn't expect that there would be a gold mine in the place he chose casually, gold is hard currency no matter which dynasty or generation, the mastiff tribe's mining of gold ore is still in the initial stage these years, and even one percent of the gold mine has not been able to mine it, so it has saved a lot of wealth, if it is completely mined, it can easily feed an army of tens of thousands of people.
