Tianhao smiled knowingly: "They want the deer people in my hands? ”

Wu Peng nodded: "Yes! I was very greedy, but I was embarrassed to come to the door to ask for it, so I was publicly recommended to be a representative to discuss with you. ”

Tianhao's smile was very sunny: "Everyone is of the same race, as long as the price is fair and reasonable, I will not refuse a normal exchange." ”

"I knew you would say that." The great master shook his head with a smile, as if looking at a naughty and naughty child who was reluctant to teach a ruthless lesson: "Tell me about the psychological price you can accept!" ”

"Would you rather hear the truth or lie?" Tianhao suddenly had the idea of joking, he knew that the great master would not be angry.

"Needless to say, lies. Ten for one, or even twenty for one, others don't know, I don't know what you think? Wu Peng glanced at Tianhao with disgust, put away the smile on his face, and said, "Say, how do you want to change?" ”

"Two for one." Tianhao's answer was simply and direct: "If you hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have given this price anyway." ”

Wu Peng was surprised by such an exchange ratio. According to his original idea, even if he came forward, Tianhao would adjust the price to about five to one, and the best case scenario was three to one.

The deer people are a valuable "commodity", especially this kind of warfare, conquering complete cities and villages, and turning all the deer people in the city into captives, in the eyes of other tribes, is equivalent to digging up treasures and getting a large amount of wealth.

Everyone can grow cotton, spinning thread is not difficult, and there are not too many technical difficulties in weaving cotton thread into cloth, the key lies in the latter two processes. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, the deer people who are proficient in weaving can produce a large amount of cloth in a short time. In the northern lands, where civilization is not yet developed, it is equivalent to producing its own money.

Not all deer people are skilled in weaving, and in one village, for example, the only people who are truly skilled in technology and know its secrets are chieftains, priests, and some women. It is not difficult to understand that men are busy with farming and hunting, and women have an advantage in weaving in comparison.

What's more, not all deer villages are similar models. Cotton thread production determines the amount of raw materials, and in the final analysis, the key is still spinning thread. However, the deer people are strict about this secret, and for thousands of years, even if they encounter a heavy siege of the city, the leader of the deer tribe trapped in the city will still order the destruction of the multi-spindle spinning machine and kill the people who operate the machinery. In this way, even if the opponent wins the war and occupies the city, there is still nothing to gain.

A few years ago, Tianhao handed over the secret of spinning to Wu Peng.

Lu Qingxi is a rare and excellent leader of the Lu clan, and it is rare to have a good person like him who is willing to give everything for his friends. In the face of power and race, he chose the former without hesitation. Naturally, the hundreds of thousands of deer people captured by Tianhao became hot. In addition to the captives who had already been sent to the newly built villages in the north, he deliberately left 100,000 people in Thunder Point City just to wait for inquiries from within the tribe.

If it was placed ten years ago, Tianhao would have shouted the price code of "ten for one" without blinking his eyes.

It's different now, time has changed a lot, and technology is constantly improving as the barbarians evolve. Including the cattle tribes, the northern barbarian tribes did not have much difference in textiles, and they overcame the problems caused by production constraints in various ways. For example, replacing cotton with hemp, increasing the output of cotton thread in a crude way, and so on...... Strictly speaking, the quality of cloth produced from coarse raw materials is certainly not so good, but no one can deny that it is a piece of cloth, even if it is coarse, it can be made into clothes and worn on the body.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between "high-quality" and "inferior".

Everyone wants excellent textile workers, but the price of "ten for one" is difficult to accept. In the current situation, five for one, or four for one, is more reasonable.

Tianhao knew very well that neither the great master Wu Peng nor the two princes who were in a state of competition would allow him to use this price code to exchange people from other branches.

This is not conducive to maintaining balance and will be too detrimental to other divisions.

On the other hand, if you refuse to exchange, you will only get yourself in trouble. That would put the Thunder Ox tribe on the opposite side of the other Ox tribe branches, and make more patriarchs hostile to him.

This matter cannot be delayed, and it must be resolved as soon as possible...... Taking into account all aspects of the situation, Tianhao finally set an extremely low price of "two for one", which is beyond Wu Peng's imagination.

"You are a great teacher, if others ask, just say that this is the exchange price you asked me to give." Tianhao smiled enthusiastically, this smile was not fake, from the heart, full of respect.

The indescribable emotion rolled in Wu Peng's heart, and his understanding of the population was far less thorough than that of Tianhao. Of course, it is not excluded that he will suddenly figure out the key at some point in the future...... But so far, Wu Peng has only seen Tianhao's respect and maintenance for him, as well as his willingness to give up some interests and maintain the internal balance of the clan.

"I'll take care of that! It won't let you suffer, it should be yours, it must belong to you. His eyes were deep and bright.

Tianhao hurriedly got up from the chair and bowed: "Thank you, Great Master." ”

"Sit, sit down." Wu Peng looked at him with a smile: "Second Highness hasn't embarrassed you these days, right?" ”

Tianhao shook his head and smacked his lips: "He wants to marry my sister." ”

"You promised?" Wu Peng stared at him with an esoteric expression.

"I can't call the shots about this." Tianhao's answer was somewhat unexpected by the national teacher: "I will not interfere with my sister's freedom of marriage." She has absolute autonomy in this matter———— any man can be my sister-in-law as long as she likes and wants to. ”

Wu Peng frowned slowly, he had imagined many possible scenarios, but he never thought that Tianhao would deal with the problem in such a way.

"Hao, I think you should think about it." The great master patiently persuaded: "Second Highness is not an ordinary person, he is very optimistic about you, and he sincerely wants to marry you." Now she is the princess, and she will be the queen of the Niu clan in the future! ”

"It's my sister's business." Tianhao's attitude was resolute: "I will not interfere with her choice." ”

"Oh well! Let's talk about another thing, and the last thing I'll have to deal with when I'm in Thunderhorn this time. The Great Master did not continue the topic, he looked at Tianhao with a smile.

Tianhao sat on the chair and said in a clear voice: "Please make it clear to the great teacher." ”

Wu Peng's wrinkled face showed a hint of embarrassment, he was obviously brewing emotions, and it took a few seconds before he said slowly, "...... Someone has taken a fancy to you and asked me to be a matchmaker. ”

Despite his mental preparations, Tianhao was still surprised by the news, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”

"Someone wants to be your wife." The Great Master's voice became a little low, and he could be heard laughing a little teasingly.

Tianhao replied almost immediately: "I have a wife, and I am already married." ”

"I know, but that's not the crux of the matter." The Great Master waved his hand very casually, and he tried to pretend to be as kind as possible and said, "We are all very clear about your situation, but it is just ...... There are some things that are hard to refuse, at least not for me. ”

"It's hard to refuse?" Tianhao frowned, and he asked tentatively, "Still can't refuse?" ”

"It's a problem for me." The great master raised his right hand and gently rubbed his temples, with a troubled expression on his face: "Personally, I actually approve of this marriage. But I know your temper, you are not the kind of person who can be persuaded by a few words, not to mention that I have met Ayi, she is a good girl...... I was really caught in the middle, it was really ......"

"Wait!" Tianhao interrupted him: "Who entrusted you to be this matchmaker?" ”

"The daughter of the first king, the third ranked princess, Niu Yanfang." When he said this, Wu Peng was relieved.

Tianhao immediately remembered the young attendant who had been staring at him at the previous reception banquet: "She came with you?" ”

"Yes." Wu Peng nodded slightly.

"I'd better leave this matter to me!" Tianhao made a decision.

"Then I'll help you get in touch, and let people from other tribes come over as soon as possible, just according to the price you said, two for one." The great master was faintly guilty, he felt that this was the right job for him, and it could also bring benefits to Tianhao.

"Thank you!" Tianhao stood up again and saluted.

After saying everything that should be said, Wu Peng finally felt a sense of relief. He looked at Tianhao and smiled with emotion: "It's good to be young!" Young girls love handsome men like you. Hehe...... Take advantage of the opportunity, this is your time. ”

Tianhao couldn't laugh or cry at what he said, and was about to argue a few words, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

In a moment, the door of the concealed room was pushed open, and the angry Yan Tooth rushed into the reception room, knelt down on one knee in front of Tianhao, and shouted out breathlessly: "Your Highness...... You...... Go check it out, there's something wrong. ”

The Great Master and Tianhao focused their eyes on him at the same time, and asked in unison, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone rushed into the harem, and the other party claimed to be the princess." Yan Ya wiped a handful of sweat oozing from his forehead: "She is going to kill the master mother, what is she to say that she is your real wife, Your Highness." ”

……

The royal palace in Thunderhorn City is not large, there are no interior walls, and there are no cumbersome palace rooms that have been endowed with many functions, except for the office area located in the front of the palace, which is located on the back side of the six rooms, collectively known as the "harem".

The open space outside the corridor on the east side of the dormitory was crowded with people. It is bounded by a distance of about five meters wide in the middle and is divided into two parts.

Hundreds of palace guards lined up in two columns according to the battle pattern, with the guards in the front row armed with round shields and sabers, and the back row with spears, and a crossbowman in the middle of every two, all weapons pointed at the opposite side.

Ayi was surrounded by several armed maids and stood at the back of the horizontal line of guards. Her face was pale, her hands clenched into fists, her teeth clenched, and the expression on her face was obvious fear, more nervous.

There are only a dozen people on the opposite side, and the weapon configuration is relatively simple, only arm shields and sabers with weak protection ability, judging from the armor and clothing style, it is obvious that they do not belong to the Thunder Horn Department, they are a group of outsiders.

Niu Yanfang has taken off her previous guard uniform and put on a new set of Niu women's clothes. This is a popular style in aristocratic circles, easy to move, beautifully tailored, but expensive and difficult for ordinary people to care about.

"Rush over and kill her!"

"You damn stinky woman, you don't pee to see what kind of person you are. Just your kind of waist that is as thin as a hemp rod, a man can break it when he pinches it casually, has no chest and no ass, and is embarrassed to be the patriarch's wife like a leper dog? If you just find a rock and kill you, you won't be embarrassed. ”

"Hey, you guys, I said you're standing next to that slut. Listen well, I am the third princess Niu Yanfang, and I now order you in the name of the former king———— kill Niu Yiyi immediately, as long as you offer her head, I guarantee that all of you can get a surname." ”

She scolded like an enraged she-beast. The roaring shouts make the scalp tingle, and the identity of the "third princess" is indeed terrifying. The members of Ayi's guards looked at each other, they instinctively felt frightened, and swept around Ayi and Niu Yanfang with suspicious eyes. To be honest, it's hard to make a choice at this time, after all, both sides are big people they can't afford to mess with. But in the final analysis, after all, the guards belonged to the Lei Niu Department, and they were personally assigned by Tianhao, so they could only obey the order, at least before the young patriarch arrived, and firmly formed a defensive line, preventing Niu Yanfang, who was stomping his feet and scolding wildly, from rushing over.

"Slut!"

"Sassy arm!"

"Stinky and shameless rotten woman, you dare to rob me of a man, I must gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue again, stuff it in your ass with a stone, and throw it into the mountains to feed wild dogs!"

The scolding is like thunder, and the dirty content is unbearable.

Ayi was so angry that she trembled, but she couldn't find the words to scold Niu Yanfang.

The identity of the other party is too noble, she is the real princess.

Ayi never expected this to happen.

A group of outsiders rushed into the dormitory, where Ayi was lying in bed taking a nap. She heard a quarrel in the corridor, accompanied by the unique metal sonority of the collision of weapons, so she hurriedly jumped out of bed, left the room through the side door, and as soon as she ran outside, she was stopped by several heavily armed outsiders standing in the clearing.

Ayi swore that she had never met Niu Yanfang before, let alone contradicted her.

The woman pointed at herself as if she was crazy, and kept saying that she was the wife of the true patriarch, and ordered herself to get out of the palace at once and give up her present position.

Ayi thought it was incredible.

She has seen a lot of jealousy between men and women, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her.
