The slaves were very excited after figuring out the relevant regulations, only more than 30 of the 500 people were willing to become slaves of Qin Dong, and the other 470 people were willing to be free people, and becoming a slave of Qin Dong was not necessarily much worse than becoming a free people, in this period of backward productivity, and often wars and long-term famines, becoming a slave would have more living security than a free people.

After a few days of registration, the 470 freedmen already had their own occupations, of which 380 took the initiative to become farmers, while the other 90 did not know how to farm, they were willing to work for Qin Dong, some entered the tailor's workshop to learn to be a tailor, some entered the blacksmith's workshop to learn to be an apprentice, and some went to apprentice to those carpenter masters, and no one did business or opened a shop on their own, because these people were slaves before, and they had not accumulated money, and they naturally could not open a shop and do business without capital.

The 90 freemen who worked for Qin Dong could take care of the food, but the other 380 peasants had no food to live on, and Qin Dong had to lend grain to these people and wait for them to return the grain after the autumn harvest in the second half of the year.

Since Qin Dong shot Ramodo's helmet with an arrow, Ramodo didn't dare to underestimate Qin Dong anymore, and had a deep fear of him, even Ramodo's scouts didn't dare to get too close to Bataka Lake, and Qin Dong in order to deter Ramodo, sent a hundred archers to be stationed on the west bank of Bataka Lake, training day and night, this force was led by Mu Ren, and the vigilant patrol cavalry often ran horses along the border line, and sometimes shot prey located on Ramodo's territory across the border line, provoking everywhere.

Ramado also knew that this time for the land east of Lake Bataka to set Qin Dong on fire, Qin Dong now ordered the army to be stationed directly on the border line and provoke everywhere, that is, he was unwilling to lose this land and wanted to take it back at any time, he didn't want to find an excuse for Qin Dong to attack him, so he asked the scouts not to get too close to the border line, and turned a blind eye to Qin Dong's provocations.

Qin Dong didn't want to start a war with Ramado now, his heavy cavalry and infantry had not been trained, and the combat effectiveness of the archers still needed to be improved, and they were not much stronger than Ramado in terms of troops, and reluctantly starting a war could only be the result of losing both, and the reason why he sent troops to be stationed on the border line was to put pressure on Ramado, so that Ramado thought that he was still haunting this land, and let Ramodo find a way to keep this newly acquired land, instead of gaining an inch.

Putting aside the affairs on the border for the time being, the southern Germanic barbarians did not make the slightest movement, perhaps because they saw that Qin Dong's strength was not weak, the success rate of the raid was too small, and the loss was too great and painful, but the commander of the thousand commanders, Vartu, was not very calm.

The first envoy sent to convey the order to Qin Dong never returned, and Vartu sent several waves of envoys to Pazar's camp to inquire about Qin Dong's disappearance, but each time Qin Dong sent him away on the grounds that the envoy had left.

Vartu felt wrong when he thought about it, there was no other territory between Pana and Pazar, and there were no other centurions' defense areas, how could this messenger disappear for no reason? There must be something wrong with this, he suspected that the matter of the emissary's disappearance was likely to be related to Qin Dong, and immediately ordered Qin Dong to go to the Pana camp to discuss matters.

Qin Dong soon received the order, he knew that he could not avoid this attack, so he could only take the escort to the fifty cavalry of the Pana camp to meet Valtu.

Since there was already a rift between the two, Qin Dong knew that no matter what he did, he would not be able to make up for it, so he didn't bring any gifts, and went directly into Vartu's camp empty-handed.

This time Vartu didn't let Qin Dong wait long, Vartu quickly asked people to invite him in, and Batu and the cavalry of the escort team stayed outside to wait, Qin Dong was not afraid at all, and asked Batu to wait outside with the escort, and he walked towards Vartu's big tent with his waist knife in his hand.

When they arrived at the gate of the big tent, the guard stopped them and said, "Centurion Chief, you can't carry a saber when you enter the tent of Centurion!" Give me your saber for safekeeping, and I'll give it back to you when you come out!" ”

Qin Dong frowned, there was no such rule when he came last time, and weapons are very important to an officer, and the generals did not have to untie the saber when they entered Da Shan Yu's big tent, but here suddenly such a rule appeared, Qin Dong believed that this was deliberately arranged by Valtu, and he was immediately furious: "Ridiculous, I don't need to untie my saber even if I meet Da Shan Yu, get out!" ”

"This ...... Don't embarrass us, my lord, we just do what we are told! "The guards are also in a dilemma.

At this time, Valtu's voice came from inside the big tent: "Forget it, let Qin Dong come in!" ”

Since Qin Dong brought out the big order to Erak, Vartu knew that the previous arrangement was useless, he couldn't say that Qin Dong didn't need to untie the saber when he saw the big order, but he had to untie the saber when he met him, right? Could it be that his status is higher than that of Da Shan Yu?

When the guard heard the voice, he stepped aside and stretched out his hand, "Centurion, please!" ”

"Humph!" Qin Dong snorted, glared at the guard, and turned into the big tent.

Valtu was still the same virtuous, half-lying in a wide wolf-skin chair, with a silver wine glass in his hand, and snuggled up to the Roman woman he had seen last time, and beside him sat several other centurions and officials.

"Meet Senfu-sama!" Qin Dong stepped forward and saluted.

Vartu took a sip of wine and asked, "Qin Dong, have you handed over to Ramador?" ”

"Yes, my lord, the handover is complete!"

Vartu suddenly pushed away the Roman woman, straightened up and stared at Qin Dongdao: "Why did Lord Ben hear that you still wanted five hundred slaves from him, otherwise he would not hand over the land, and he would also deploy the army on the border to provoke everywhere?" ”

Qin Dong sneered in his heart, is this starting to give off the horse? He immediately replied, "My lord, the whole area of Pazar was assigned to the lowly position by the Commander Modo, so why did the lowly office give the area east of Lake Bataka to Ramado for nothing?" As long as he has 500 slaves, it is already cheap for him, as for the Chen Bing border you mentioned, this is just a normal garrison training, and the lowly army did not provoke Ramado, and I don't know which damn villain slandered in front of the adults, if you let the lowly know who this person is, the lowly will definitely not give up! ”

"You ......." Valtu didn't expect Qin Dong to be so good at quibbling, and to talk about things as if it was normal, and Qin Dong's attitude was very tough, which made Valtu quite uncomfortable, but he also knew that he couldn't embarrass Qin Dong in this matter anymore, after the matter got bigger, it was likely to get to Modo, and then the situation would not be something he could control.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter, in the future, you and Ramodor must live in peace and jointly guard against the Germans in the south!" Vartu could only turn the page, but he brought up another matter, "This time I called you for nothing else, that is, the disappearance of the messenger I sent for the first time, tell me the specific situation, when he arrived at your camp at that time, when he left, what did he do in addition to conveying my orders, and when he left, where did you send it to return?" ”

Qin Dong had already thought of his words, and now when he saw Valtu asking, of course, he described it according to what he had prepared in advance, and he said it seamlessly, without the slightest flaw.

After hearing what Qin Dong said, Vartu said angrily: "Why didn't you send him to Pana territory when he left, otherwise how could he be missing?" ”

Qin Dong said: "My lord, the lowly post was wanted to be sent, but the envoy resolutely did not let the lowly post send, so the humbleness did not send him!" ”

"Humph!" Waltu snorted coldly and said: "Anyway, Lord Ben's envoy is missing in your defense area, you have an unshirkable responsibility, now Lord Ben limits you to find the messenger within ten days, whether you live or die, you must find it, you must see people alive, and you must see corpses when you die, otherwise you, a centurion, don't have to do it!" ”

Qin Dong's face changed, and he immediately said coldly: "My lord, it has only been more than a month since he arrived, and the territory will naturally not be complete, and his legs are on the envoy himself, where is he going, he can't tie him up, right?" Besides, the centurion of the humble post is the title of the big single Yu, and I am afraid that the elder of the thousand men does not have the right to remove me from my official position, and the elder of the thousand men wants to remove me from the official position, does the adult want to be above the big single Yu? If the adults have nothing else to do, they will resign."
