Chapter 14: Meet the Chief of Wuheng
"Newspaper", a soldier decorated as a guard walked into a tent and reported to an old man sitting in the tent.
"What?"
"Commander Badr has brought a ghost party to claim important information to report to the patriarch in person."
"It's that kid from Badr, I haven't seen him for a long time, how did you get mixed up with the people from the ghost side, bring them in."
"Yes."
The leader of the horse thieves, Badr, took Lin Tian into the tent of the Wu patriarch, the leader of Wuheng Heng.
"Badr visited the old patriarch, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?"
"You kid, if you don't manage the affairs of your Leto clan well, you run blindly every day and don't do your business, how do you let me face your parents in the future."
"Thank you for the care of the old patriarch over the years, the development of my Letuo clan is not bad, if you live another forty or fifty years to see my parents, my parents will definitely have nothing to say."
"Haha, you kid, I'm old, how can I live another forty or fifty years, and who will continue to take care of you after I leave one day? You're still going to have to work on your own, you know? ”
"Isn't there still Cousin Wu Yao? I heard that my cousin is going to inherit the position of patriarch in the future, and I have her to take care of me, I don't think my life will be too miserable, hehe. ”
"Don't daydream, can I be the patriarch or not, even if I do, I am the patriarch of the Wu clan, not the patriarch of your Leto clan." A young woman walked into the tent and said behind Lin Tian, this woman is Wu Yao, the cousin in Badr's mouth.
"Yao'er is right, you can't rely too much on others for your own patriarchal affairs", the old man seemed to be very satisfied with the woman's answer.
"Okay, okay, I know, but I don't believe my cousin will be so ruthless, hehe, I must pull my cousin when the time comes."
"Okay, cousin, didn't you come late at night to beg for pity, I heard that you had important news, so I got up."
"Naturally not, the kid next to me knows a big news from the ghost side, hey, kid, you can talk about it now."
Lin Tian stood up and saluted the old man in front of him, "Are you the great leader of Wuheng?" ”
"Yes, it is I who currently serves as the patriarch of the Wu clan and the chief of the Wuheng tribe."
"Then, respected Patriarch Wu, I have an earth-shattering piece of information to exchange you for a deal, even longer."
"Hey, don't be arrogant, you kid, this is in my Wuheng Department, what is the point, can't you pay me in my Wuheng Department?"
Wu Yao, the girl next to the old man, interjected.
"I told the truth about how arrogant my request was, and it was precisely because I was in the Wuheng Department at this time that I was straightforward and honest. I heard that the Wuheng Wu clan puts the interests of the people first, governs the territory properly, and every big leader of Wuheng is a person with both ability and integrity, so he proposes a normal and reasonable transaction. ”
"Yao'er, don't be reckless, presumably this little... Friend, what's your name? ”
"Lin Tian."
"Lin Tian Xiaoyou, my Wuheng does not refuse to deal with normal and serious benefits, no matter what nationality you are, my Wuheng Department is not like your Ghost Fang Department, I heard that the Ghost Fang Department is extremely xenophobic, we are different from this, we are willing to accept excellent things from outside. We will also pay you enough for the information you provide. ”
"In this case, I believe that the Wu patriarch is a person, and those present believe that he is also a credible person."
The old patriarch nodded slightly to Lin Tian, signaling that everyone present was credible.
"When I went to Fucheng to buy goods, I found that all the blacksmith shops in the city were making weapons, and they were working day and night to make them."
"Are you sure they're building weapons, and they're telling you that?"
"They are indeed building weapons, and the news has been concealed, and I found out about it by knocking on the side."
"Your clan has received news of the recruitment?"
"Never."
"Haha, it's really immortal for me Wuheng, Lin Tian Xiaoyou, thank you for the valuable news you brought, I don't know why Xiaoyou, who is a ghost party, wants to help us."
"If the ghost side starts a war, it will be a disaster for our small clans, the scars of ten years ago have not been healed, and now it is like this, I don't know how many innocent people will die, if we can stop the war, it is undoubtedly a great joy. Besides, the ghost side is inhumane, there is no way to govern, and it is undoubtedly a stupid thing to ask for the people to help him become powerful. ”
"Xiaoyou has extraordinary knowledge, not an ordinary person, I don't know where it comes from. Although I have heard a lot about the miserable situation of the people in the land of the ghost side, I am also powerless, and I cannot defeat the power of the ghost side and the Soto family, and I have more than enough self-preservation for the Wuheng department, but I have insufficient strength to the outside world. ”
"I am from the Li tribe by the Mirror Lake, a small tribe, and I came to visit in order to find a glimmer of life for the people. Thanks to the introduction of Big Brother Badr, he was able to meet the Wu patriarch. ”
"How did you know Badr, how did you go to Fucheng to exchange for goods, how did you meet Badr."
"I know, Cousin Badr must have gone to the Ghost Fang tribe to make trouble."
Badr was helpless in the face of the old patriarch's inquiry, and he didn't know what to say, and his cousin's mending knife made him sweat profusely. Turning his head to look at Lin Tian, he cast a look of begging, hoping that he would not tell his record. Fortunately, Lin Tian had the intention of not offending people by doing business, and immediately relieved him: "Brother Badr chased the prey to the realm of the ghost side, and happened to meet us. ”
When Badr heard about chasing prey, his heart was in his throat, and he was half frightened to death, for fear that Lin Tian would retaliate against him and tell his "glorious" deeds, but after listening to it, the little heart instantly fell back and cast a grateful look at Lin Tian.
Badr's grandmother was the sister of the old patriarch, so the old patriarch was Badr's uncle, and Badr's parents died in the war ten years ago, so Badr grew up under the old patriarch's teachings over the years. Badr is both respectful and afraid of this respected uncle, Badr especially respects this uncle, but once the old patriarch is offended, he will not tolerate it, not only the long preaching makes Badr afraid, but also the old patriarch is disappointed in himself.
After listening to Lin Tian's explanation, the old patriarch only said slowly: "Don't trespass into other realms without permission in the future, if there is an incident, it will not be good." ”
Badr nodded yes.
"Lin Tianxiaoyou's intelligence is very valuable, I don't know what kind of business exchange you need to have with us."
"I don't need you to pay me for the information, and no one with a conscience will condone such an inhumane decision by the ghost side. I have a bag of salt here, which is a sample for this transaction. ”
Everyone was curious, a bag of salt, the old patriarch took the salt bag and opened it, only to see that the salt in the bag was uniform, snow-white and clear, without impurities, surprisingly good-looking. The old patriarch traded salt with the south all year round, and he was surprised that he had never seen salt of this quality. "You said this is a sample, do you have more of this table salt?"
"That's right, our Li people have mastered the method of making salt, and we can provide this kind of salt for a long time."
Now everyone present is frying, the method of making salt, they can produce salt, originally thought that they got this salt from him, but they didn't expect that they had the technology to make salt.
"As far as I know, salt is produced from the sea, and our land of Dongyi is quite far from the sea, where can you get the raw materials for salt production."
"The Li people live next to Jinghu Lake, and the water of Jinghu Lake is as salty as seawater, so Jinghu water can produce salt."
"Wow, don't you have a mountain of gold, inexhaustible."
Wu Yao exclaimed in amazement, her eyes flashing with stars, as if she saw countless fortunes beckoning to her.
"Jinghu has always been there, no one has ever discovered the secret of Jinghu before, it seems that your Li clan has produced incredible talents. There is no way to make salt, it is useless to have Mirror Lake, although you have a method of making salt, once it is spread, your Li people are powerless to protect it. ”
"Therefore, I came this time to trade with Neng in exchange for good weapons and iron materials, and even operate for a long time. Wuheng is quite far away from the Li tribe and can't protect the Li tribe, so he has his own strength to protect the clansmen. ”
