"You're right, you can only protect yourself if you are strong, so what is the price of this refined salt?"

"What is the average price of trading with you and the Southern Kingdom."

"So, very good, we took the deal, um... In the long run, I hope we have a happy cooperation. ”

"Then please send someone to carry supplies with me to the Li tribe to trade early tomorrow morning, our time is very tight, so we hope to set off as soon as possible, I believe that it will not be long before the fact that the Li nationality is making salt will happen."

"It is difficult for a large team to enter the territory of the ghost side without being discovered, so it is better for you to ride back to the Li clan with Badr tomorrow to inform the clan of the trade agreement we have reached, and take the clan to the foot of Daliang Mountain to meet us for a trade. Daliang Mountain is located at the junction of our three major tribal territories, which is unmanaged, chaotic, and uninhabited, so it is sparsely populated, and it is safe to trade here, plus I think no one can find it at night. The matter of Li nationality salt production can be concealed for one more day, and what you lack most now is time. ”

"Thank you Patriarch Wu for thinking about my clan, but my clan is weak, and the security of Daliang Mountain is extremely poor, I don't know ......"

"Brother Lin, you are too worried about this, there are some small thieves and criminals near Daliang Mountain, it is these little thieves who scare away all the residents of Daliang Mountain, which is a fertile land and is now uninhabited, which makes Daliang Mountain extremely desolate. You Li people have obtained weapons, forgive these rats and don't dare to move. ”

Badr waved his hand at Lin Tian and said disapprovingly.

"This is natural, all the men of my Li tribe are good hunters in the forest, as long as they get weapons and armor, they are brave warriors."

"Badr, you lead Lin Xiaoyou down to rest, you will set off early tomorrow morning, and you will also go down to prepare for tomorrow's trip."

"Yes, old patriarch."

"Brother Lin, you come with me", Badr led Lin Tian out of the old patriarch's tent and went to the resting place. Along the way, Lin Tian saw that the leather armor and weapons held by Wuheng's guards were all of uniform specifications and fine workmanship. It is thought that the Wuheng Department has been trading with the south all the year round, and has made a lot of money by selling goods from the other two departments, and the Wuheng Department, which has obtained countless wealth, naturally has to arm soldiers to deal with the threats of the other two departments.

Lin Tian thought to himself, this time he was right, the Wuheng Department was far richer than the ghost side, and if he could trade with the Wuheng Department, he would definitely be able to get a lot of assistance and strengthen the Li clan. Moreover, the great leader of Wuheng is kind and kind, and it is easy to get along with him, but his granddaughter... The future head of the Wu clan is not very easy to get along with, and he will still be able to try not to deal with her without fighting in the future.

After Lin Tian left the tent, Wu Yao, who was standing beside the old patriarch, spoke: "Why did Grandpa promise the Li clan to make a long-term deal with them, the Li clan is so weak and small that there are only a hundred people, how can they survive under the power of the ghost side." Once the Li salt production is introduced to the ears of the great leader of the ghost party, it will be the day when the Li people are wiped out. Even if grandpa wants to help the Li people, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do, the Li people are too far away from us. ”

"I think this person is not an ordinary person, he has the courage to know the best, since he is so confident to come to me to make a deal, and afterwards he has repeatedly said that there is a way to deal with it, I don't think it is nonsense, we believe him for the time being, so what's the matter. The quality of this exquisite salt is much higher than that of the south, and even if I sell it in the south, I can get a good price. ”

"Could it be that grandpa only agreed to help the Li people so readily because of the salt? The Li people came to us, apparently hoping to use our help to strengthen the strength of the ethnic group, so as to ...... Oh... I see, I see, I mean, why did Grandpa say yes so rejoicefully. I'm afraid this kid doesn't know yet, and in the future, he will stand in our Wuheng's camp to fight against the ghost side? ”

"Haha, it's still Yao'er who is smart, and she can figure it out when she thinks about it. But you underestimate that kid, I guess he knows the consequences, but we both need to do this, this is the benefit, to find common interests, to have common interests to win. The ghost side sharpened the knife Huo Huo and wanted to attack us, although we still have to deal with a ghost party, I am afraid that it will be the same as ten years ago, 2 jackals will attack it together, so that we will not be able to deal with it. The longer the war ends, the more beneficial it will be for our side, but the more people will die, not long after the last war, many families have not yet come out of their grief, and now if they lose their children, husbands and fathers, how will they live. We help the Li people become stronger, and the more powerful the Li people are, the more threatening they will be to the ghost side, so that the defeat of the ghost side and Soto can be accelerated, and this Dongyi land can be peaceful for several more decades. ”

"How smart can he be?" Wu Yao continued: "I think he just wants to save his own clansmen, but he is already very good, he came to our Wuheng alone to seek the way to strengthen the clan, many people don't have the courage at his age!" Grandpa is right, once the war starts, the Li clan will contain the ghost side in the rear, which will be of great benefit to us. The ghost party and Soto are cruel and unreasonable, and do not treat the people well, and sooner or later there will be no good results. ”

"The Ghost Fang and the Soto clan have coveted the land of Wuheng for a long time, and their wolf ambitions are not a day or two, but they don't practice benevolent governance and don't treat the people well, which really shouldn't be. After this battle, we are afraid that all three of us will be greatly damaged, and I will not be able to save the suffering people in both places. ”

"I heard that the subjects of Soto have suffered nothing but hardship, but they have not suffered any serious crimes, which is like the ghost side, all foreign people enter the territory of the ghost party only a dead end, if the subordinate tribes of the ghost side do not pay the tax and tribute on time and in the amount, they will ask the army to go and capture the young women of the tribe as goods to offset the tax tribute, and even catch the tribe of the tribe to be sold as slaves in the southern country, the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't be sold will be cut with a knife, Bai Yan is really hateful, inhumane, worthy of others to call him a white-eyed wolf, and he is extremely fierce to his own people."

"Be cautious, I once told you, as the head of a clan, you can't be swayed by emotions, you need to be calm-minded and analyze things, if you can take over the position of the big leader in the future, you must be less cautious, the honor and disgrace of a clan are all related to you, do you understand?"

When Wu Yao said Bai Yan's place, he suddenly became excited and scolded, and then the old patriarch's words of teaching burst the raging fire like a basin of cold water. Although Wu Yao accepted the old patriarch's preaching and calmed down, he was still angry in his heart.

"I know that you have hatred for your parents because they died at the hands of Bai Yan, but there will always be sacrifices in war, and they are all the pride of our Wuheng. You must not harbor hatred in your heart, you must be blinded by hatred, you need to know that your every move in the future will affect Wuheng. “

"Grandpa, although it is normal to shed blood and sacrifice in war, but the white-eyed wolf did not defeat my parents on the battlefield but ensnared my parents through treacherous tricks, so as to threaten you and make you surrender, my parents were forced to commit suicide for Wuheng, and I don't accept Bai Yan's methods."

Wu Yao retorted to the old patriarch emotionally.

"You will soon be the patriarch of the Wu clan, if something happens to you, who will take care of the clan, how many years can I live? At that time, who will take care of the people of Wuheng, will they let Bai Yan occupy Wuheng? ”

"No way, with me, I won't let him get his wish."

"Yes, you have to take on your responsibilities in the future, don't do things by temperament, you need to think calmly about the pros and cons of everything."

"Yao'er understands, I won't disappoint my grandfather, and I won't disappoint the people of Wuheng."

Seeing that his granddaughter had finally calmed down and remembered what he said, the old patriarch smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded to his granddaughter, he firmly believed that since his strong granddaughter had made this promise, she would definitely fulfill it.
