At the Erdaojiang crossing, it is now the turn of Captain Doma to carry out the guard duty here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Doma's greatest wish in life is to be a centurion. By that time, he would not only be able to command a hundred men, but he would also have access to more pastures.

If he goes out to war and loots something, he will also get more slaves, livestock, and other booty.

In fact, Thomas was reluctant to fight before, and many people he knew, including his two brothers, died in the war.

Although they got some things, they never had the chance to enjoy the spoils again.

However, whether to fight a war or not is not his own decision, it is the decision of the headman.

Although he hates the headmen very much now, because the headmen received tribute and money, but did not hand it over to the court, so now the court has come to ask for money, and he comes to harass the grassland every day, and the grassland is not peaceful at all.

Due to the spice embargo imposed on Bukui, his skin has rotted a lot this year. Later, I spent a lot of money to buy some smuggled goods, and I was able to get some ripe skins. Still, there was a lot of lamb that had to be thrown away because of the lack of salt and spices.

Also because there is not enough spice, he did not go to catch mink and marmots this year.

Because the shaman disappeared, the sheep fell ill in the summer, and they were not treated in time, and more than 20 sheep died.

A homeless person who was previously taken in also disappeared for no reason. Some people said that he ran away, and some people said that he asked Bukui's officers and soldiers to be arrested.

What the hell was going on, Doma didn't know. The slave was gone anyway.

Thomas is not the only one who is unlucky, many families on the grassland are in a similar situation to him this year. All suffered heavy losses.

After all, he is still a ten-master, and he used to have a bit of a family background, and those ordinary people are not as good as them.

Therefore, today's subordinates are simply complaining. It seems that only the head and her cronies not only did not suffer losses, but also made a fortune from smuggling.

Sitting at the door of the yurt, Doma was so cranky.

Occasionally, an autumn breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness. More often than not, though, the autumn sun shines on the body, giving people a warm feeling.

It's already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it's the season to start forage. Thinking that she would be able to go home in a few days, Doma had something to look forward to.

When he gets home, he's going to hurry up and prepare the grass for this winter. If you don't prepare, it will snow in a few days, and the grassland will be covered with heavy snow, and the sheep will starve to death this winter.

Now, Doma wants Buqua and the tribe to have a good fight. After the fight, the winner is decided, and you can live with peace of mind.

As for who wins and who loses, Doma doesn't really care.

When Bu Kui won, he also asked the leaders for money, and they also said that they would not ask ordinary people for money. Not only did he have nothing to lose, but he also saved himself from fighting again in the future.

If the tribe wins, they won't get anything, and even if there is a benefit, the leaders have to go, and when it's their turn, there's nothing left.

If you're unlucky, you might lose your life.

There was another shouting in the river, and a small boat was in the middle of the river. Put on a man who bent his bow and shot an arrow.

Doma wasn't in a hurry, and she didn't even stand up.

He knew that it was Bukui's officers and soldiers, and he also knew that they were not here to attack. It's here to deliver letters.

Sure enough, after firing an arrow, the boat slowly rowed back again.

Thomas was too lazy to get up, and shouted into the yurt, and a tribal warrior came out, picked up the arrow that had fallen to the ground, untied a piece of paper tied to it, put it in his bosom, and rode on his horse to deliver the message to the chiefs.

Such letters began on the 14th of August, one every day, and Thomas was used to it.

The first letter was sent back to the head of the plum blossom by him. Thomas was illiterate in Chinese characters, so he didn't know what was written on the letter. However, he heard from others that the letter read, "I will beat you tonight."

In other words, Bu Kui is coming to attack the grassland tonight. That night, Lamei gathered 8,000 tribal warriors and waited for battle, but until dawn, he did not see a single soldier from Bu Kui.

The same is true of the three days of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth. A letter every day, and in the end, I didn't see a single soldier coming from them.

Then Doma figured it out.

Bu Kui is still the same as before, he is also here to harass. In the past, small units were sent, but now small forces are not coming.

Still to fight in the grassland? Do they dare? What to fight?

With less than 2,000 men and horses, he still dares to come to the grassland? There are 20,000 tribal warriors here.

If it weren't for the fear of the imperial court increasing troops, he would have killed Bu Kui a long time ago and killed Bu Kui without leaving a chicken dog.

Not only did Doma not believe that Buqua would attack, but McKaymen didn't believe either.

Previously, Lamei also sent him a few letters, saying that Bu Kui was coming to attack, but after he was ready, there was no one to see.

For three days in a row, they did not dare to sleep at night, and they could not work during the day, and the tribal warriors were all angry. Later, McKaymen no longer believed that Bu Kui would attack the.

La Meihua stopped sending him a letter to say these things, but the great shaman now told him these words.

The Great Shaman Morudawa had been missing for months, and McKaymen had searched everywhere for him, but he had not been found. Later, someone went to Bukui to buy salt, saying that he had seen Morudawa in Bukui and was wandering the streets.

However, this is clearly a lie. Why didn't Morudava come back when he could hang out?

Now Morudava had returned, but had come to persuade MacKamen to surrender to Buqua.

As the Grand Shaman of the Mailai tribe, Morudawa enjoyed high prestige among his people, and as such, McKaymen also respected him.

But it is impossible to get respect to be honored, to make him surrender.

"Morudawa, you're saying that Bukui will come and beat us tonight?"

"Yes."

"How do you know?"

"They told me."

"They've told me several times, but they haven't come."

"This time it's true, and God told me."

"Okay, even if they come, there will be fewer people?"

"They said, "Come on two battalions."

"How many people are in two battalions?"

"Eight hundred."

"How many warriors are there in our tribe?"

"Four thousand."

"There are 4,000 of us, 800 of them, and you told me to surrender to them?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I can't beat them."

"Murudava, don't you think your words are ridiculous?"

"It's not funny at all. What I say is true. ”

"You've been in Bukui for so long to come to this conclusion?"

"Yes."

"You said they let you go later and you can move around freely, why don't you come back?"

"I want to see who that Jia Min is."

"Do you see that?"

"I see."

"Who is he?"

"He's someone we can't beat. It's also someone we can turn to. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"With two things he did."

"The first one?"

"Those reforms of his."

"I've heard of those things. Let's talk about the second thing. ”

"His government corps."

"How many people are in his army corps?"

"Less than two thousand."

"He came with 800 people, and he wanted to beat us 4,000, and we can't beat him?"

"Yes."

"They've been here before, but they've lost all the time."

"They did it on purpose."

"How do you know?"

"Jia Min told me."

"When was you told?"

"Yesterday."

"Where did you tell you?"

"His training ground, he invited me to watch him practice."

"After watching the training, do you think that our 4,000 warriors can't beat him 800?"

"Yes, it can't be beaten."

"Why?"

"They have too many firearms."

"We have firearms too."

"It's not as good as anyone else's."

"Do you think I'm going to surrender to them?"

"No, so, you're going to hurt the tribe."

"Do you know what it means to surrender?"

"I know, it's just some money. However, it can save life. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, and if your life is gone, you will have nothing. ”

"That's all my money, not your money, so you naturally don't feel distressed."

"That's not your money, it's the money of the court, the money of the people. You're just taking care of it. I told Jia Min, and he also agreed, as long as you surrender and hand over the tribute, you can be canonized by the imperial court and continue to be the leader. Otherwise....... ”

"How?"

"Otherwise, when they defeat you, the end will be miserable."

"What's the wrong way?"

"The worst is that you die and the money is handed over."

"What about the good results?"

"If you don't die, hand over the money, and leave the Windula grassland."

"I'm the master here, I'm gone, what will happen to the tribe?"

"You're not the master here, you're a little head, and the tribe is still going to be. The Imperial Court will take over here. ”

"Do you think the court will do better than me?"

"Not necessarily."

"And you're still telling me to surrender?"

"The situation forced me to do this. You can't ask your people to die with you for your money. ”

"They want to."

"They don't want to, it's just your own thoughts."

"Morudawa, you've changed, and you've become so unrecognizable to me. We've been good brothers since we were kids, and after decades, I didn't expect you to become like this. ”

"McKayman, I haven't changed, it's you who has changed. Power has lost your mind, and money has blinded you to what was once sharp. Gone is the former unselfish Prairie Eagle, and now only one Scrooge McKaymen remains. ”

"Morudawa, you can't convince me, I won't surrender, I will win, I'm not fighting alone, the other three tribes also stand with me."

"They won't win, and if they're as obsessed as you are, they'll end up like you, so surrender, McKayman. For the sake of the tribe, and for yourself. ”

"I'm in charge, I'm the leader."

"You're just a fake head."

"Morudawa, for the sake of the past, I won't kill you, you can go."

"I can't go."

"Why?"

Morudawa did not answer. However, a voice sounded outside the yurt.

"Because we're here."

Two men dressed in black walked in, strangers.

McKayman reached for his knife, but the bell rang in the man's hand. McKayman retracted his hand in fright.

The man put the hammer on McKayman's head.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wei Ruoshui, the captain of the owl detachment of the Bukui Mansion Corps."
