Tianhao didn't care about Niu Lingxiao's attitude at all, he picked up the lion silver coin, pushed it back at the same slow speed, and said lightly: "Exchange this kind of thing for a pig...... Don't you think it's unfair? ”

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, Niu Lingxiao suddenly burst into a burst of hysterical laughter, he laughed so openly, lowered his head, held the table with his left hand, and kept slapping the table with his right hand, and his whole body continued to rise and fall with violent laughter, as if the mountains were bumped in a high-intensity earthquake and could collapse at any time.

After a long time, he gradually stopped laughing, and his body, which had consumed a lot of physical strength, no longer twitched like nervousness. Raising his head, he gasped for breath, stared at Tianhao with a fierce gaze with a hint of frustration, and viciously squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Even if it doesn't contain silver, so what?" ”

Tianhao leaned sideways, his left elbow below the table was placed horizontally, his fingers moved lightly, and his handsome and indifferent face did not change at all: "You are a nobleman, the king of the clan." But you give me the feeling of being a liar now. ”

The sarcasm, which pierced deep into the bone marrow like a knife, failed to work, and Niu Lingxiao grinned again: "Whatever you say, this is my condition anyway." Accept or reject, there is no third option. ”

"I choose to refuse." Tianhao didn't hesitate for a second, and his cold voice grabbed the gap between the words of the King of the Fierce Bull and forced his arrogant tone down.

The reason why he has a tough attitude and refuses to back down at all is, of course, because he has enough confidence and chips.

In fact, Tianhao doesn't want to be an enemy of any of his kind.

The reason why he killed Yu Zheng and let go of the deputy envoy was to send a signal to the king of the fierce bull that he wanted to reconcile. There is no point in infighting, as long as the other party's request is not too excessive, Tianhao is willing to accept it. In fact, he himself didn't want too many pigs, and to some extent, His Majesty the Ox King's prisoner of war exchange order helped Rock City solve some troubles. Under the premise of relative fairness, Tianhao is willing to suffer a little loss in exchange for a friendly relationship with the Fierce Bull Department.

10,000 pigs, this is Tianhao's bottom line. Although the old and weak of the Fierce Bull Department are as many as 16,000, their value is almost equal to 5,000 pigs. If Niu Lingxiao's attitude was not so flamboyant, condescending, and showing a little bit of reconciliation, it would not have become the current situation of sabre-rattling and unyielding.

After all, he is a king, and Tianhao is just a lord.

The time factor is equally important and decisive.

If Niu Lingxiao had come a few days earlier, Tianhao's concession would have been even worse than now, and he would be willing to pay a higher price for it.

After several battles in a row, the Rock Collar needs a full recuperation. The newly expanded territory needs to be developed, and a large number of newly built villages need to be prepared. Roads, grain, ores, peat...... A large number of complicated affairs need to be sorted out, and various tasks are pressed on the agenda. In a word, Tianhao needs time more than ever. As long as you are patient through this period, the Rock Leader will appear in front of the world with a stronger posture.

By chance, the "Great Viper" was successfully launched for sea trials, but the captain Zhengjiang was an adventurous young man. God must have given him an aura of luck, otherwise it would not have been possible to lead the whole ship of sailors to the sea like madmen at that time and find the island marked on the map.

This is equivalent to giving Tianhao a stable way out———— even if the situation deteriorates, there is no foothold on the northern continent, and he can lead everyone to go to sea by boat to establish another country on those distant islands and land.

Lao Tzu will stop playing, give this messy land to you, I will concentrate on development overseas, and wait until the country is rich and the people are strong, and then it is not too late to lead the army to kill back.

The so-called "three holes of cunning rabbits" is this truth.

Sulfur is the most important chip.

The appearance of granular high-power gunpowder was only a matter of time before Tianhao appeared. The northern barbarians mastered the formula for gunpowder very early, but they were unable to make a finished product without sulfur. Tian Hao calculated that at most half a year, he would be able to build a musket force of 3,000 people on Jeju Island. With the combination of strong pig heavy infantry, supplemented by a small number of artillery, it is enough to deal with military threats from any direction.

Lao Tzu has a lot of cards to play in his hand, and the big and small kings have four and two, and I won't lose whatever you do.

It's like the saying of people who stand on high places: I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it.

The fierce and fiery gaze in the depths of Niu Lingxiao's eyes quickly dimmed, and was replaced by something cold and damp.

He reached out and took out a pottery whistle from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth in front of Tianhao, puffed out his cheeks, and blew hard, letting out a piercing scream.

Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't understand what Niu Lingxiao wanted to do.

Soon, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Tianhao issued a majestic order. This is Rock City, even if Niu Lingxiao makes any moves, he can completely suppress it at the first time.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the heavily armed Broken Tooth stood at the door, bowing respectfully to Tianhao: "My lord, the people of the Fierce Bull Department said that they received an order from their king to send this woman in. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and took a half-step back, making enough room for a woman standing behind him.

She was tall, with a graceful body curve beneath her thin cotton clothes. The thick waist is no different from a bucket, the plump and fat breasts are eye-catching, the strong legs below the hips, the feet are very spread, and the whole person looks powerful, and she is a burly and strong female warrior.

According to the opinion of the northern barbarians, this is a standard beauty.

Tianhao looked at the woman with a puzzled gaze, and found no weapons. She lowered her head, and could only see a layer of fat squeezed and piled up on her neck, which was the standard etiquette for commoners to meet nobles, and she couldn't find anything wrong with it.

The brain is calculating rapidly, estimating the strength of its own strength and the strength of the opponent. Estimating with the naked eye alone may not be accurate, but Tianhao knows very well that without weapons, Niu Lingxiao and this woman together are not his opponents. What's more, the guards are just outside the door, as long as they shout, they will rush in and control the situation at the first time.

"Come in!" Tianhao nodded slightly and ordered casually.

The door closed again, the woman still lowered her head, walked to Niu Lingxiao's side with small steps, she pulled over a chair, put her hands flat in front of her, and sat down obediently.

"She's my woman." Niu Lingxiao stared at Tianhao with a beastly gaze: "You killed her brother." ”

The connection between the two sentences was not particularly close, Tianhao thought for a few seconds before coming up with an answer, he frowned slightly, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to the woman: "You mean Yu Zheng?" ”

She raised her head slowly, and Tianhao only saw that she looked good at this moment. In terms of appearance, more than ninety percent of the women in Rock City, and their skin was smooth, not as rough as that of ordinary barbarians.

This is beyond the category of "beauty", and you can even add the word "stunning" in front of it.

"You killed my brother." She let out a fierce growl, the resentment and hatred that unleashed from the depths of her eyes were substantial: "You must pay for this!" ”

Tianhao had no interest in this hateful woman in the slightest. He turned his gaze and looked at Niu Lingxiao with an inquiring gaze: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The burly King of the Fierce Bull spread out his hands and raised them to shoulder level, with a wicked and sly smile on his face: "Ten thousand silver coins of the Lion Clan, plus this woman, as long as you give me ten thousand pigs, we can make a deal so far." Young man, this is my last concession. ”

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, you can still get my friendship. ”

The woman turned abruptly, glared at the King of Fierce Bulls with disbelief, and let out a shocked shout: "What did you say? ”

Niu Lingxiao glanced at her: "Don't be so surprised, you know very well why I did this." You're so bold that you would let your brother do that kind of thing without me. 30,000 pigs...... Hum! Even I don't have that much of an appetite. It's a good thing he's dead, otherwise I'd have cut off his head even if I came back alive. People who cheat on me never end well, and you are no exception. ”

"No, you...... King...... You can't do this. The woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and she grabbed Niu Lingxiao's arm and let out a terrible scream.

"Enough!" Tianhao suppressed all sounds with a thunderous roar.

He slowly stood up from his chair like a mountain, looking condescendingly at the other side, especially Niu Lingxiao: "I've had enough of this farce. I really didn't expect that as the king of the clan would do such a thing, look at what you took out? A pile of useless garbage, a woman who is abandoned by you who are tired of playing. ”

This accusation had no effect on Niu Lingxiao. He laughed dryly a few times, and his seemingly hearty laughter revealed coldness: "I still say the same before, you only have two choices: accept, or refuse?" ”

Tianhao stared at his face and raised his hand to point in the direction of the door: "Get out!" ”

Niu Lingxiao pushed away the chair and stood up, shook off the arm held by the woman, and stared at Tianhao for three seconds.

"You will pay for those words that are said today, and for the decisions you make."

With that, he turned around abruptly, without warning, and slipped a dagger out of the cuff of his coat and stabbed it at the woman sitting next to him.

The location of the knife is very accurate, cutting the throat and cutting through large muscles. The dagger was obviously made with a special process, it was extremely sharp, and once again the knife slashed the spine, and her entire skull lost its support, and it hung crookedly, leaning on her shoulder, staring at her eyes in disbelief, her open lips unable to close, and the wound spurted a large pool of blood.

After doing all this, Niu Lingxiao put away the murder weapon at an extremely fast speed, and his blood-stained hands were raised high above his head, letting out a strange and flamboyant scream.

"Murder!"

"Guards, where are all the guards dead?"

"Come on, come on!"

The door was forced open from the outside, and a large group of guards rushed in. Broken Tooth took a few pig guards to bear the brunt, they saw Tianhao standing on the opposite side of the table as cold as ice, and then saw the woman leaning on the chair and her head almost fell, and then looked at the king of the fierce bull who was jumping in a pool of blood with his feet in a pool of blood, and he was at a loss for a while, so he could only subconsciously run to Tianhao's side and stand and protect him.

The guards of the Fierce Bull Department also quickly stood beside Niu Lingxiao, staring at the opposite side, and two distinct factions formed in the room.

Tianhao's gaze was infinitely cold, and he asked word by word, "What do you want to do?" ”

Niu Lingxiao's body was trembling, he didn't have the swaggering and wild appearance before, he seemed to be greatly frightened, and his face turned pale: "You killed my princess, you coveted beauty and asked me to give her to you, if I refused, you would draw a knife and kill people." You killed her brother before, and now you're like this...... You...... You did it on purpose. ”

Tianhao suddenly understood Niu Lingxiao's plan. At this moment, he was unusually calm: "You want to use this as an excuse to go to Your Majesty to sue me?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Niu Lingxiao's eyes, and he was quickly replaced by toughness and ferocity: "Murder must pay for life, even if Your Majesty does not convict you, you must compensate for it." I am the king of the tribe, and you dare to kill my woman in front of me, and that alone I can say that you intend to rebel. ”

Tianhao fell silent.

I have to admit that Niu Lingxiao is indeed ruthless and calculating.

The guards around him were the best witnesses. No one saw him draw a knife and kill someone, but everyone knew that she was a princess, and she was extremely beautiful. What normal man would kill this kind of woman? The most important thing is that the person died in Rock City, and there was no third witness in the room, Niu Lingxiao must have prepared a backup hand for this, adding fuel to the fire and causing the established facts.

Arrest all the people in the Bull Gang and kill them all?

That's impossible.

Killed Yu Zheng because of his ordinary status, Niu Lingxiao is different, he is the real king of the clan. Kill him, and he will be in the name of rebellion.

With the current situation and strength of the rock leader, it is impossible to break away from the Niu clan.

"Disappear from my eyes and get out of my city." This is Tianhao's final decision.

Niu Lingxiao smiled.

From the moment he walked into Rock City, until now, this is the most pleasant sentence he has heard.

This means that the young and tough lord finally admits defeat and bows his noble head.

"What can you do with me if I don't leave?" He let out a cold strange smile: "Don't say I won't give you a chance, you'd better think about it again, if you ......"

A cold light swept in front of him, and the guards standing to the left of Niu Lingxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and everyone saw that a line of blood appeared in his throat, and a large amount of blood continued to gush out along the skin. He covered his neck tightly with his hands and desperately opened his mouth to breathe air, but his strength was drained in a very short time, his legs were bent, and the whole person lost support and fell to the ground, constantly kicking his legs until the last moment.

Tianhao raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, and issued a fierce order: "Broken teeth, catch two more people for me and kill them." ”
