In all fairness, this is an extremely fair price, especially in the cold winter, and it is definitely a conscience price to be able to give the figure of "300 kilograms per person".

What I thought was an obstacle suddenly turned into a flat avenue, and the anger in my heart disappeared in an instant. Even Jianping, the hot-tempered leader of Zhangpu Village, suddenly felt that the young leader sitting opposite looked much more pleasing to the eye than before. It's just that he still has a little doubt and can't fully believe that it's true.

Tianhao picked up the two small animal skins with people's names written on them on the ground before, took them in his hands and shook them: "Brother Yifeng, Brother Jianping, I respect you as seniors, so I will give you this face today." But I have to say the ugly thing ahead: if there is not enough food to eat, you can come to me for it. If you don't take good care of the stockade and people run out, you can't blame anyone else. Something like that, not an example. ”

A warm smile like a warm sun is always accompanied by a stern admonition: "Of course, you are welcome to come and drink with me at any time." Since the two eldest brothers are here today, they can afford to look up to my rock village. In this case, let the steward go down and hand over the food promised to you, and I should entertain you well when you have come from afar. After a while, I'll ask them to clean up the place, and then have a few drinks with the two big brothers. ”

……

The blood stains on the floor were wiped dry with a rag, the unpleasant smell in the air was dispelled, the smoke-free charcoal was added to the fire, and the fragrant meat pie completely dispelled Yifeng and Jianping's doubts. Although the cider content is low, if you drink too much, it will be intoxicating. The leaders of the two villages, who are short of food and food, usually rarely have the opportunity to taste, and it is rare to let go of their bellies and drink today, and they are quickly stimulated by the alcohol and their faces are red, and they all hug Tianhao and call them brothers.

By the time the banquet was over, it was almost dusk.

Glancing at the leaders of the two villages who were lying on the floor and sleeping deeply, Tianhao's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, and he stood up and walked out of the room.

The cold wind blew his mind to the ground, and he exhaled a long breath that was dull in his chest.

Tianfeng followed, he frowned, glanced at the two drunks in the reception room in disgust, and persuaded in a low voice: "Third brother, in fact, you don't need to entertain them like this. This matter is our reason, even if we fight a lawsuit in front of the king, we will not lose. ”

"I know." Tianhao maintained his respect for his eldest brother and said with a smile: "I did it on purpose. ”

Tianfeng felt incomprehensible: "Why? ”

"I gave people a slap in the face, and I have to give them a little more sweetness that looks good."

That's life.

"It's not wise to deal with two stockades at the same time. What's more, Zhangpu Village and Qingyuan Village, like us, belong to the Lei Niu tribe. Tianhao kept his appearance as casual as possible, and he noticed a hint of uneasiness flowing in the depths of his brother's eyes: "This is a cruel world, there is not enough food, and no one can survive the winter in peace. Big brother, you have also seen that today's incident is actually a conspiracy. Xiongkui held a grudge against what happened last time, and he knew that the strength of Huanchezhai alone was not our opponent at all, so he pulled the leaders of Zhangpu Zhai and Qingyuan Zhai to come to me to ask for an explanation. Hum...... I can't even feed my own people, so who are they to talk to me about this? ”

"You're going to kill Xiongkui?" Tianfeng blurted out this sentence. Did he even realize that his hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were clenched with wet and sticky cold sweat. Once terrible thoughts take root in the mind, it is very difficult to get rid of them.

"Why should I kill him?" Tianhao's thin face was angular, full of harshness in the light of the fire, and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned revealed a capital sarcasm: "He can hide in the shadows like a mole for the winter, but he feels that he can challenge my authority in this way." Hehe...... It's not that I look down on him for a waste like him. I had planned to wait until tomorrow spring to do anything about Huanchezhai, but now it seems that there is no need for such trouble. ”

He did not shy away from speaking, and the two drunken chiefs of the stockade lying on the floor. Alcohol is precious, and not just anyone can drink it. Tianhao, who has continuously invested in multiple fusion points in terms of physical fitness, has extremely strong detection ability, and he heard Jianping and Yifeng snoring evenly, and it is impossible to wake up in a short period of time after this deep sleep.

Tianfeng swallowed a few times hard. He admired his younger brother very much, but it was a little difficult to accept the facts in front of him. sighed rather melancholy: "The third child...... You've changed, you're much more powerful than you used to be. I...... Honestly, I don't know you, like someone else. ”

Tianhao crossed his hands on his waist, and the shaking firelight reflected a large black shadow on his face: "I can't hide behind you forever." Big brother, you don't know, you came back from the last hunt and scared me out. Junping is going to kill me and my little sister to eat meat, and you and my second brother are not here...... I don't have a better choice. I have to live like a real man. ”

Xiongkui groaned in pain from outside the room, and Tianfeng felt that some parts of his mind that he had never thought of were slowly being awakened. The younger brother in front of him has a resolute expression, and there is a little bit of greenness between his eyebrows and eyes, but at the same time, he has the ruthlessness of the superior and the hardness of not fearing everything.

"Do what you think is right!" Tianfeng raised his hand and pressed Tianhao's shoulder hard, and his open five fingers were clasped like hooks: "No matter what difficulties you encounter, there are still me and Ah Mad . If we want to fight, let's three brothers together. If you want to kill, I will help you rush to the front. ”

With these words, he let go of his palm and strode out of the room filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Looking at his brother's long back, Tianhao suddenly felt that the door frame was like a vague portrait oil painting, full of warmth and human touch.

He smiled.

muttered to himself: "Taizu is still right: the so-called politics is to make more people on our side and less on the enemy's side." ”

……

A bonfire was lit in the open space to the west of the Rock Village.

Xiongkui brought a small army with him.

Three hundred.

Including the guards of Jianping, the leader of Zhangpu Village, and Yifeng, the leader of Qingyuan Village, the total number is three hundred and thirty-five.

Everyone in Huanchezhai knows Aju. The last time she went back to the village to visit relatives, there was a lot of movement, everyone remembered it vividly, and they clearly knew that the young leader of Panshi Village was ruthless, and the tragic situation of Lei Zhi before his death seemed to be vivid, so when Ah Ju walked closer with a group of women, the leader of the team left by Xiongkui was very vigilant, raised his spear and pointed at them, not allowed to approach.
