The greatest advantage of a politician is that he lies, and his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and the evidence is conclusive.

"They wouldn't have come without you!" Lu Qingxi's eyes were red, and he let out a heavy gasp from the depths of his nostrils: "You captured Broken Horn City and destroyed the White Deer Division." You despicable liar, I shouldn't have believed you in the first place. ”

Tianhao's hand did not diminish, but he moved his position slightly, pushing Lu Qingxi's body backwards, and stuck the back of his neck on the edge of the wooden pier, which would cause him more pain, but would not leave too obvious scars on the surface of his body.

"You seem to have forgotten something." Tianhao's thin face was angular: "It was you who took the initiative to find me and asked me to help you kill your two brothers and your father." In return, I can get a portion of the population of your race. ”

"We are business partners, not enemies."

"It was so before, and it is now. I repeat, the affairs of the Stag Department have nothing to do with me, whatever you want. I can only govern the Thunder Cattle Tribe, and I can't control what the other races think. If you have the ability, you can go to the kings of the Raging Bull and Bison Tribes and see what they will say to this. ”

Lu Qingxi felt that his neck was about to break, the hard wooden pier was holding against the bones, he stared at Tianhao with fierce eyes, and shouted indignantly: "I have promised you 500,000 people, and I also gave you 200,000 in accordance with the agreement, why do you still attack Broken Corner City?" ”

"I'll have to ask you." Tianhao is like an eagle hunting at the moment, his talons choking the lifeblood of his prey: "Why don't you just give me the agreed population?" 200,000, and it's just the first time...... Do you think it's easy for me to send an army over? If you have to go over mountains and mountains, you have to consume food, and you have to pay a corresponding price. Why not solve the problem all at once? Why does procrastination insist on splitting it into two, three, or even four? ”

“…… I ......" Lu Qingxi was angry and anxious, he struggled desperately, trying to get more breathing space from under the tiger's mouth like Tianhao's iron pincers: "It's not my fault. I'm changing the situation in Bucks City, the Witchhorns don't trust me very much, and it's all going to take time. ”

"What do you mean, your time is precious, and my time is a piece of?" Tianhao was merciless, opened his mouth and spat thick phlegm on Lu Qingxi's face, and stuck it between his cheeks and nostrils impartially: "I think you should take a good cold shower and clear your mind." ”

"You...... What do you want? Lu Qingxi felt like he was about to collapse, and a strong sense of filth hit his brain at the same time as the threat of death, and he screamed desperately.

Tianhao glanced at him contemptuously, suddenly let go of his hand, and just watched coldly as Lu Qingxi crawled away from the wooden pier, slumped on the ground, trembling and wiping the thick phlegm and tears on his face with his clothes, trembling, as if being beaten by more than a dozen big men in turn, and the intimate communication between men took place in the most humiliating way.

"Do you still want to continue to be the king of the deer clan?" Tianhao's voice was very cold.

"What do you mean?" Lu Qingxi blurted out, he clenched his fists, and his palms were full of sweat.

"If you want to, just follow my arrangement. If I don't want to, I can kill you right now. Tianhao raised his head, his eyes squinting at him from top to bottom, like looking at an ugly reptile.

Lu Qingxi put his knees together, curled up, shivering from the cold and fear. He tried hard to show his tough side: "...... I, I don't have the population for you anymore. The White Deer Department plus the previous 200,000 has been ...... More than we agreed upon. ”

"Humph! Do you think I'm here to ask for a debt today? Tianhao sneered disdainfully.

Lu Qingxi clasped his knees tightly with both hands, was silent for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

Tianhao slowly squatted down, this position was less than twenty centimeters away from Lu Qingxi, which was very close.

"The business between us is over." The young Thunder Bull King smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "That's what I want to say to you. ”

This answer was completely unexpected by Lu Qingxi, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart. However, reason told him that the problem would never be so simple, he controlled his emotions, his breathing suddenly became rapid, extremely reluctant, with infinite anticipation and luck, hesitated and said, "...... I...... I think so too. ”

"It seems that once again we have reached a consensus on specific issues." Tian Hao's smile was charming, he had become accustomed to showing a masculine smile of the same nature at such times: "Now, there is only one last question left between us. ”

"I knew it wasn't going to be that simple......" Lu Qingxi muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

"Everything is time-sensitive, and so is the business we agreed upon." Tian Hao sneered: "This is actually what you want." ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Qingxi regained some of his thoughts, and he tried his best to keep his composure.

"I've got what I wanted, and although you didn't provide me with enough people as agreed, for the sake of our friendship, there is a shortage of 300,000 people...... Hehe, forget about this matter, I'm not going to bother with you. "Tianhao showed a lot of generosity.

Lu Qingxi's face was ugly, and he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but found that this expression was too difficult for him.

"Describe robbery as a gift...... You're amazing. He was still muttering to himself: "Growing so big, I really have never seen such a shameless person, worthy of being the king of the Thunder Bull...... I finally understand that you have risen from the leader of the stockade to the king of the clan in this way...... I bet with my head that the god of deceit must be your relative. ”

With Tianhao's strengthened ear, he could hear everything clearly, but he didn't intend to dwell on this issue to the end, so he pretended not to hear it and continued to smile: "Listen to me, I have a plan." ”

Lu Qingxi's body twitched obviously, and he was now very afraid of hearing words like "plan" from Tianhao's mouth. This is much scarier than an "idea" or a "suggestion", meaning that it is not just something that stays at the level of thinking, but has a high probability of becoming a reality.

“…… What do you want? His nervous and frightened gaze was like seeing a ghost.

"Let's stop fighting!" Tianhao was very generous: "Actually, you have always been prejudiced against me. I want people, and I'm not greedy, I just need to get the numbers that have been negotiated beforehand. ”

Lu Qingxi seemed to have been given a shot of heart, sobering up from the depths of his ignorant and confused thinking. He looked at Tianhao in a daze, and couldn't believe that this was true.

As the new Deer King, he is well aware of the current situation facing Bucks City.

When he succeeded Lu Fengguo as the new king, the entire Deer Clan was centered on the Bucks Department, with a total population of more than 1.5 million.

Among them, the main family of bucks is 600,000.

The two divisions of the stag and the white deer jointly ranked second, with 300,000 people each.

Yanlu, Qinglu, and Xuanlu have the smallest population, each with 100,000 people.

In order to fulfill the "contract" signed with Tianhao before, Lu Qingxi used the pretext of integrating the ethnic groups as an excuse to obtain the consent of the national master Wujiao, and transferred 50,000 people from each of the four tribes of Bailu, Yanlu, Qinglu and Xuanlu to join the Buck clan.

The 200,000 people were intercepted by the Cattle Clan on their way to Bucks City and taken prisoner. Until now, Lu Qingxi still didn't know how Bai Hao had taken these people away from the territory of the Deer Clan. After all, Broken Horn hadn't fallen yet, and the Northern Fortress was still functioning.

Tianhao led troops from the rock and captured the Broken Horn City, he sent a fine work to sneak into the city in advance, the city lord Niu Pingde died and failed to send a beacon smoke signal, the Bailu clan was kept in the dark, until the Niu clan army came to the city, this panicked and reorganized the army, but it was too late, coupled with the devastating blow of large-caliber artillery to the city wall, Tianhao easily occupied Bailu City and swallowed the entire Bailu Department.

So far, the population of the deer tribe swallowed by the Thunder Niu Department is as high as 500,000. These people have to consume food every day, and although the Rock Collar has abundant food reserves, it must be used sparingly. As a last resort, Tianhao could only ask for help from the two departments of the Wild Bull and the Bison, and at the same time asked the Lord of Mishui City to send reinforcements to use White Deer City as the forward base to help them destroy the Buck Tribe.

More than 300,000 prisoners of the Buck Clan, Tianhao didn't want any of them, all of them were handed over to the Bison Patriarch Sect, and they were divided between him, Yuan Meng, the head of the Raging Bull Clan, and the three of them.

This is a big piece of fat, if it is not a last resort, Tianhao will not give it up. He knew very well that the current maximum acceptance capacity of the Thunder Bull Department was only so much, and 500,000 was close to the limit. Coupled with the captives captured from the three small tribes of Yanlu, Xuanlu and Qinglu in the later period, the total population of the deer tribe that has been swallowed has reached 560,000, if it were not for the large amount of grain transported by the Raging Bull Department and the Bison Department according to the alliance agreement, the material supply system of the entire Thunderhorn City would have tended to collapse.

Lu Qingxi didn't know these things, he only knew that the Lu clan was in danger. The powerful Niu people occupied White Deer City and had no intention of backing down. It seems that they are intending to occupy it permanently and turn the entire area into their territory.

In less than a month, the huge deer clan shrank rapidly, and the entire clan was torn apart, except for the main clan, the stag tribe, the other branches were wiped out, and the remnants of the clan could only flee to the buck city...... Now, the total population of the entire Bucks Division is about 640,000.

In Lu Qingxi's view, all this is like a dream.

It was not easy to mobilize the troops, mainly because the news from the front changed almost daily. White Deer City fell, the Yanlu Department was attacked, the Buck Division was attacked, and several branches were destroyed in a row...... Whether it is Lu Qingxi or the national teacher Wujiao, they spend every day in tension, anger, panic, and shock.

The pace of war is too fast, far beyond imagination. Wujiao, in particular, has always believed that a major battle on a tribal scale needs at least a month to prepare, otherwise it will not be possible to ensure logistical supplies.

The Deer Clan has never been a warlike tribe. For a long time, the deer clan has been sandwiched between the major tribes, relying on textile technology to maintain balance, and in any case, they did not expect that there would be an unexpected factor such as Tianhao, which led to the repeated deterioration of the situation.

For Lu Qingxi, the truce is the best news.

"What you said is true?" Lu Qingxi's eyes flashed with wonderful colors, he stared at Tianhao, and wanted to tear the skin on the other party's face, and see the real content hidden underneath: "You...... Are you sure? ”

"We're friends." Tian Hao has said this many times, although the meaning changes each time, the difference is not big, and no matter the tone or tone, the feelings of the listener are changing subtly on different occasions. In particular, his own understanding and application are becoming more and more proficient.

Lu Qingxi also broke the can, and said with a little resentment: "Seriously, you make me feel terrible, it's hard to believe." ”

Tianhao smiled: "I can understand your thoughts, do you think I've been lying?" ”

Lu Qingxi raised his hand and pressed his throat, and slowly rubbed the painful position that had been pinched before: "There are only more than 600,000 people left in the entire Deer Clan now, all of this is thanks to you, do you think I will be grateful to you, kneel in front of you and kowtow to you, and say thank you to you?" ”

Tianhao paced slowly, arrogance and confidence appeared on his face at the same time, looking elegant and noble: "If you had ordered other branches to hand over 500,000 people instead of just 200,000 at the beginning, the transaction between us would have ended long ago." In that case, I won't send troops to attack Broken Horn City, let alone occupy White Deer City, and everything that follows will not happen. ”

These words deeply pierced Lu Qingxi's heart, he stood up suddenly, glared at Tianhao angrily, and made an unwilling accusation in fear and trembling: "I am the king, the king of the entire deer clan." Yes, I did promise you 500,000 men, and it will take time, and it will take me to plan, not a strong order. ”

"That's your problem, you have to face it yourself, handle it yourself." Tianhao's answer was extremely cold, without the slightest emotion at all: "A transaction is a transaction, I only look at the result, regardless of the process." Since you can't give it, I'll take it myself. ”

Lu Qingxi felt cold in his hands and feet: "...... You want to destroy my tribe? ”

Tianhao looked at him with dark and bright eyes: "I said, from now on, truce. ”

"Forever?" Although the authenticity of the news was confirmed again, Lu Qingxi still did not dare to be careless, he had to try.

Tianhao raised his head and let out a hearty laugh: "I said yes", will you believe it?" ”

This answer was disappointing, but Lu Qingxi was not depressed. He suddenly felt a sense of relief, for the answer was true, more reassuring than a false lie.

"How long will the truce last?" He turned his attention to another issue.

"Five years tentatively." Tianhao folded his arms across his chest, and his flat words revealed undoubted majesty.

“…… What about later? Lu Qingxi was a little nervous and looking forward to it.

"We'll talk about it then!" Tianhao looked at him like a cat looking at a mouse: "I need food, I need women, I need cotton and cloth...... You're a smart guy and you don't have to be so thorough. ”
