Chapter 10 Stimulate and stimulate you
The sun had set, and the winter wind was bitterly cold, as if it were wrapped in sharp ice thorns. Tonight, the moon was obscured by thick clouds, and it was pitch black. Finely chopped snowflakes swept through the wind, bringing a chill that pierced through the heart. After a short time, the earth was snow-white.
In the two large, empty wooden houses in Evon's territory, the campfires were burning at the moment, and dozens of Viking men were huddled together, drinking oat wine, eating delicious roast bread, talking and laughing, and having a lot of fun.
These people who were happy to eat and drink were the guards brought by Svensson and Gattuso, and they had no idea that they would be treated with such pomp.
Especially in the daytime, they had long been shocked by the strength shown by the other party, and even so, the other party could still entertain them like this, which made them unsure in their hearts at that time. Because in their opinion, with the strength of the other party, there is no need to give them a good look at all, so they eat and drink carefully at the beginning, trying not to make a sound.
But as time passed, under the stimulation of alcohol, these people completely relaxed, and they sang and danced and shouted loudly, completely forgetting that they were in an unfamiliar environment.
At the moment, Evan was also enjoying the unsavory food and oatmeal wine with the two guests who suddenly arrived. Evan had been incapable before, and now he was desperately nostalgic for the food of his past life, the current roast bread that made him unbearable, and the strange, low-tasting oat wine.
However, he knew that now was not the time to enjoy, and there were many more urgent things to solve than eating and drinking, such as the arrival of the two in front of him.
In fact, they had already had a short conversation in the afternoon, and the two of them were probably frightened at that time, and without saying anything specifically, Evan politely invited the two to rest.
After the two left, Evan immediately called several of his subordinates to discuss what might happen and make arrangements for attacking at any time.
Evan wasn't sure why the two tribes had arrived at this time, but it was not difficult to tell from their haste that their purpose was definitely to come on a new route.
However, Evan is not worried, no matter what purpose these two leaders have come, they have been frightened by their own welcoming ceremony just now, and it is estimated that they will not be able to make any big waves, if they really don't have long eyes, Evan doesn't mind cleaning them up at all.
After arranging everything, Evan invited the two lords to dinner again in the evening, and he wanted to see what kind of song the two uninvited lords had come to sing.
After a period of false pleasantries, Alonso and Svensson saw that the young man sitting opposite him and laughing did not show any curiosity about their arrival, nor did he ask each other, the two of them are also planning to do this, since you don't ask, it's better, everyone only talks about Fengyue, not about business, just pretending to be confused.
In fact, according to their ideas, with the strength of the two together, at least it is a medium-sized tribe, coupled with the advantages of the two in terms of age and experience, they feel that it is very simple to clean up a young man who has just come of age.
But they never expected that they would be greeted by such a majestic procession, which made them forget all about their purpose during the day, and only care about shock.
After the two returned to the resting place, it took a long time to slowly wake up from the shock, and the two who came to their senses were eager to leave this dangerous place immediately, and the ambition they had when they first came was no longer as profound as it had been at the beginning, and they felt that it was very easy for them to fool a young man, and their confidence was also extremely low.
They didn't understand why the other warriors would be so strong, and they saw the eyes of those strong warriors looking at Evan with admiration. That kind of worship is definitely not fake, but from the heart. They didn't know what this young man had done in just a few months to make these brave warriors submit to him.
They felt that they could not do this, and if they wanted to make the warriors of their tribe worship them willingly, although they did not want to admit it in their hearts, the reality cruelly told them the answer - they could not do it.
Although they couldn't do it, they were a little timid, and even regretted that they had brought too few men, and they were a little worried about their safety because they were about to force Evan to hand over the new route.
Therefore, the first thing to do after coming to their senses was to arrange for a few clansmen to ride fast horses, and the Hui tribe called out their warriors and brought them here as quickly as possible, so that they could have the confidence and bargaining chips to negotiate.
They are all leaders who have passed the test of blood and fire, and they know that this is their own chance to rise, and under the influence of greed, they will not easily let go of the fat that has been placed on their lips.
Although the guards who greeted them just now were strong, they believed that it must have been Evan who had put the strongest warrior in the tribe out to scare them, and it was not Evan's real combat strength.
So they decided to continue their plan, but before their men arrived, they couldn't be too tough for the time being, and dealt with the young man in a vain and unjust way, and when their men arrived...... Then everything will be in their hands.
In the midst of such a hypocritical and pleasant conversation, the three of them laughed and laughed at each other, and tentatively Svensson, in the last moments, said that they knew that Evan had recently succeeded Rolf as the new lord, and that it was only natural for him to congratulate him as a neighbor.
In addition, I heard that Evan has been buying a large number of slaves recently, and it just so happened that they had just come back from plundering, and there happened to be a large number of slaves for sale in their hands, and they thought that since they were neighbors, they must take care of their own people, so they made a special trip here, first, to congratulate Evan on being elected lord, and secondly, to discuss the matter of slaves by the way.
Evan couldn't help but feel amused at these lame excuses, "Come to congratulate me on being elected lord, and come empty-handed?" Do you want to come in this kind of ghost weather? And what else to sell slaves by the way? Amusing! There is a large number of slaves on the barren route where they went, except for those who can't walk, the others have already dragged their families to the big inland towns, and you still have something to sell to me? It's really a fool to be a human being. ”
However, although Evan knew that these two people were definitely not at ease, he still pretended to be arrogant, even idiot, and acted dismissive of anything in front of them, and was not convinced by anyone like a child.
And like an upstart, he repeatedly assured himself that he had money, a lot of money, a lot of livestock, as long as they had slaves, although they brought it, the price was easy to say, and even idiots asked the women in their family if they sold it, as long as they sold, the price was whatever they wanted.
Svensson and Gattuso were both excited and angry at the fact that the arrogance and ignorance shown by this Evan were too good for them, and that it was his luck that such an idiot could become a lord.
However, while being excited, they felt particularly angry when they saw Evan with a lustful light in his eyes at this time, and the fire in their hearts suddenly ignited, and it was difficult to suppress it for a while.
They were angry that they had lived so old, and they were startled by what such a little cub had put out during the day, and both of them blushed when they thought about it, plus at this moment, this kid who didn't know how to live or die, actually hit their wives and concubines with their ideas, which was absolutely intolerable humiliation for any man, let alone the Vikings who were known for their toughness.
Evan's actions and tone also raised Svensson and Gattuso's hatred to the maximum, making them eager to pounce and kill this idiot who had disgraced them right now. But in the end, the two of them are scheming, and such humiliation was actually pressed down by them, and they still smiled and praised Ewen for being smart and brave.
Although Evan was a little surprised that the other party could suppress this kind of chiloulou humiliation, he could understand it after thinking about it, after all, the other party did not have an advantage now, and it was still the good endurance that he had cultivated over many years of surviving in the cracks as a small clan leader.
Maybe they have all experienced more serious insults than this before, and for this, Evan feels that he is still too kind, and needs more training and growth, in order to make the other party crazy and vomit blood with a single sentence.
But no matter how well they disguise themselves and smile hypocritically, human eyes do not deceive. Evan saw greed and disdain in their eyes.
Greed must be a desire for treasure, and disdain is contempt for oneself, which shows that his acting skills are still okay, although he doesn't dare to say that he is at the level of an actor, at least he is much stronger than the tricksters now, otherwise they would not have so much information in their eyes that is difficult to suppress.
Evan tried his best to control the urge to spray oat wine on the other party's face, trying to maintain his exaggerated expressions and movements, wondering if the two guys, Svensson and Gattuso, would think that the gods were blind, they must have thought that the naïve lack of eyes had given him a way to go to the land of legends.
Thinking about the grievances and helplessness in the hearts of these two people at the moment, Evan's mood suddenly improved, and he felt that these two people would definitely have a good box office if they put them in the Spring Festival Gala sketch. Looking at the two fake men in front of him, Evan decided to stimulate them again.
"Lord Svensson, Lord Gattuso, you can consider my proposal carefully, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I am also for you, rider.
Don't be too busy refusing first, it's better to send someone back and ask your wives and concubines if they are willing to change to a man to be comfortable? And it's a young and strong man, I think they will be very interested, and no one likes to be in a daze all day in front of an old well, right?
So my proposal is definitely for the sake of your family's harmony, and I think that one day in the future you will definitely thank me for my proposal today. ”
