Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 14 Also the First Messenger

Walking out of the tent, the slightly chilly autumn wind blowing in front of him made Lu Jin's only remaining sleepiness dissipate. As far as the eye can see, the once verdant and green grasslands are now all withered and yellow, autumn has come to an end, and the harsh winter is coming.

Although Xie Laoqi's death was only a month later, Lu Jin's body has undergone earth-shaking changes. Compared to when he first arrived, he has become more reticent now, and ordinary herdsmen dare not approach him easily. However, as a recognized oracle, his position in the ministry has not changed in the slightest.

The young man who should have been young and jumpy is now as calm as an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, and anyone who knew him before would be shocked to see this. And if someone who really knew Lu Zhen saw his gaze as he looked at the people of the Raha tribe around him, they would be worried about these people, because in the depths of that gaze, there was already a strong hostility and murderous aura.

The deaths of Xie Laoqi and Cao Bing shattered all of Lu Jin's illusions, and these Mongolians had been listed as mortal enemies by him from that time. That's why he continued to stay here, saying that he couldn't leave, or that he didn't want to go, because he had to avenge all his grievances, so he could leave with peace of mind.

But apparently, the people of the Rahab tribe did not give him a chance to take revenge. Needless to say, the surveillance in the name of protection on weekdays has no chance for him, a divine envoy, to interfere in the affairs of the ministry, even if he wants to instigate the hatred between Hezha and Mu Chai, they all fail, which makes Lu Jin almost unable to think of any way to achieve his wish.

In just one month, their cattle, sheep and livestock were nearly twice as large as before, and they also befriended many large and small tribes around them, as if they had the posture of becoming the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in this area.

And all of this is thanks to Lu Jin, a divine envoy.

Because he helped the Rahab extract salt from the rock wall, so that they could not only meet their own needs, but also trade the excess salt in their hands with the surrounding tribes in exchange for cattle, horses, and livestock, and these tribes had to accept the love of the Rahab.

The various tribes on the grassland have always been short of salt, and the only one who could meet their needs before was the Ming Dynasty in the south. It is also because of this understanding that the Ming Kingdom sees the salt very tightly, even if it is traded with the Mongolian people in the field, it is very small, and the price is extremely high, which often makes the Mongolian people very dissatisfied.

However, under the condition that the other party has a monopoly position, the Mongolian ministries can only endure this.

And now, things have finally taken a turn for the better, the quality of the salt produced by the Laha tribe is no worse than that of the Ming Kingdom, the price is fair, and even the credit can be owed to a certain extent, which is naturally the best thing for the people of the surrounding tribes. In just a few months, the Lahes had gained a great deal of wealth from the salt trade and friendships with other tribes, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they rose.

If ordinary people know this result, they will inevitably regret and be annoyed, because all this is self-inflicted. But Lu Zhen didn't have such an idea, because he knew very well what kind of changes were being experienced in the Mongolian steppe today.

A figure who nearly unified the divided Tatars and Warats, and who in the following decades posed a great threat to the Ming in the south, was on the rise. Any internal enemy that might threaten him would be completely swallowed up by him, even if there were so many cattle and sheep in the Rah tribe? In the general trend of history, in front of the strongman of history, it is just a mantis arm as a car.

Lu Zhen can even assert that the more popular the Lama Department is today, the worse the outcome they will face tomorrow. So when he saw a few more Lehrer cars coming from afar, there was even a hint of a mocking smile in his eyes.

But when he heard the identity of the other party, his heart suddenly tightened: "We are here to discuss things with you on the orders of the first master." "The leader of the people who came was a man in his forties, red-faced, and extremely strong-looking. His voice was as powerful as his appearance, very loud, so although he was at a distance, Lu Zhen could still hear these words clearly.

"I actually sent someone first." Lu Jin's brows immediately locked, forming a deep Sichuan character, he made thousands of calculations, but he missed this variable. If the Rahab tribe had been surrendered and had been cast into the Yexian account, then they would no longer be an obstacle to the realization of their ambitions.

Lu Zhen still underestimated the rare strongman on the grassland. I thought that the Mongolian people, who had a tradition of eating the jungle, would only conquer by force, but I didn't expect the other party to come to such a hand. In this way, things will be out of his grasp.

"What should I do?" Seeing several dignitaries in the ministry greet these guests to Hehu'er's tent, and the latter even put them into the tent with a smile on his face, Lu Jin was a little dumbfounded.

However, the situation in the account was obviously not as harmonious as Lu Zhen thought, and after only a few words, the faces of the people who were still very polite and friendly Hehu'er and the others sank.

The Mongolian people have always acted straightforwardly and heroically, and there are not as many twists and turns as the Han people in the south, and there is no greeting when they meet, so they go straight to the topic. And after this Yexian envoy entered the account, he put forward his own intention, and he was ordered by Yexian to recruit the Lama to his account.

If they had heard this a few months ago, they would have been very excited. Who doesn't know that the forces on the grassland now, and the first Taishi is a first-class existence, once he can be included in his account, he will no longer have to worry about his livelihood in the future.

But now it's different, the Lama has made a lot of money by relying on salt, and it seems to be rising. If at this time he also wants to recruit them into the tent as confidants, it is fine. But as soon as they inquired, they knew that the other party had only taken a fancy to their recent sources of wealth and salt, and suddenly they naturally had different opinions.

Seeing their thoughts, and there was a lot of prevarication in their words, the envoy's face sank: "Why, do you still dare to disobey the will of the first master?" Do you know what happened to the tribes that refused to obey before? There was a little more calm in his tone.

Hezha, who had been sitting at the bottom of the head and didn't say much, was suddenly annoyed: "He is just the Taishi of Warat, do you say that he is the Great Khan of our grassland?" He wants everyone to do what he commands? ”

"What? It seems that you have a lot of opinions about the Taishi? Hearing this, Bo suddenly turned his head to look at Hezha, his eyes full of murderous aura that could not be concealed.

But Hezha is not good at his generation, and immediately looks at the past without giving in: "Yes so what? You can't cover the sky with one hand! ”

Seeing that the two sides seemed to be about to move if they didn't agree on a word, Hehu'er hurriedly spoke: "Hezha, is this your attitude towards guests?" Don't let me out yet! ”

The dignitaries in the other departments were just silent when they saw this, and Mu Jie smiled even more proudly, and Hezha did this, which was exactly what he wanted.

In fact, as soon as the words came out, Hezha also regretted it a little. Although the steppe tribes have not been completely conquered by Yexian now, and there is even a Tatar tribe that is specially troubled by them, if they are really annoyed, they will only have to wash their necks and wait for slaughter.

But it was impossible for him to beg for mercy from others, so when he saw Hehu'er say this, he snorted coldly, got up and walked out of the big tent.

Hezha, who was a little chaotic in his heart, just wanted to take a bow and go outside to shoot and relax, when he heard a voice next to him: "Hezha, why didn't you go to entertain guests, but you came out?" Following the sound, it was Lu Zhen who was looking at him not far away.

Hezha was depressed in his heart and was about to find someone to talk to, Lu Zhen was obviously a suitable candidate, so he walked over and snorted: "Because I offended the guest." ”

"Oh? What kind of way can these guests make you angry? Lu Zhen didn't seem to know the truth.

"They were the ones who were sent first." Hezha said, remembering something again: "Do you know who you are first?" ”

"I've heard people mention that although he is not the Great Khan of Warabe, he obviously has the potential to become the next Genghis Khan." Lu Zhen said casually.

"Hum ......" a disdainful cold snort erupted from Hezha's mouth: "How can he be compared to the great Genghis Khan?" He's just a careerist with some means. ”

"Listening to what you mean, I seem to be a little dissatisfied with him. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, what happened to make you come into conflict with them? Lu Jin asked curiously.

"I said, Yexian is very ambitious, this time he actually fell in love with our Lahe Department and wanted to swallow us all!" Hezha's gaze was deep.

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Zhen pressed the apprehension in his heart and said tentatively: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Hehu'er will definitely not agree, and now that our Lahe tribe is rising, how can we agree to be annexed? But he didn't dare to offend Yexian, so I came out! Hezha said casually.

Lu Zhen nodded: "I see, but from this point of view, this time the matter should be quite tricky." ”

"Yes, he does have some prestige on the grassland first, and the people in our department may be persuaded by him, but I will never let them succeed!" Hezha made his position stand in a straight way.

A certain thought flashed in Lu Jin's heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but persuaded him: "You'd better not be strong in this matter, otherwise it will only be bad for you." If you are caught and used by someone with a heart, you will be in trouble. ”

"You mean Mu Catch? He doesn't have the skills yet! Hezha said disapprovingly.

Seeing him say this, Lu Zhen didn't continue to persuade him, but added a sentence in his heart: "What I mean is me, an outsider......"
