This is more terrible than starting a war directly and cutting off tens of thousands of heads.

……

Niu Weibang is finally here.

At the same time, 6,000 soldiers arrived, which was the reinforcement that Tianhao had requested in his secret message.

The sub-armed Niu clan army released a powerful deterrent, and the pig people in Panshi Village suddenly felt a huge pressure. Life is obviously not as easy as before, and there are pairs of vigilant eyes staring at you at all times. These unfamiliar faces from Thunderhorn City are extremely vigilant, and with the fact that the Pig People and members of their own clan can easily judge by their physical appearance, they are always on the alert, as if they are facing a great enemy.

The guards surrounded the spacious council chamber, and no one was allowed to approach it.

Niu Weibang and Tianhao sat opposite each other, with a brazier in the middle, and there was no third person in the room.

"As soon as I got the news, I rushed over with someone. 6,000 people...... Enough should be enough, right? The long journey made Niu Weibang look a little tired, his clothes were stained with mud, and his hair, which he used to braid a lot, looked disheveled. In the corner of the room is a set of steel armor with a special pattern carved on the chest, representing its owner.

"That's enough." Tianhao maintained the indispensable respect: "Please also ask the king to stay in the Panshi Village for a while longer to help maintain order in the lower ranks." ”

Niu Weibang waved his hand impatiently: "There are no outsiders now, so we don't need to be so polite." Speaking of which, you kid is quite capable, I didn't expect that you would take over Panshi Village from Fu Song to become what it is today...... Tut-tut, it's only been a long time, according to the rules of promotion, Panshi Village can now be changed into a city. ”

"This is all blessed by the gods, and the king is well led." Tianhao smiled, and flattery was a necessary and necessary fusion agent.

"Hey, they all say that there are no outsiders, can't you just talk well?" A trace of anger appeared on Niu Weibang's face: "Don't just pick good words, I have self-knowledge." Leaders and the like are all, if it weren't for you, Panshizhai would never have become what it is today in the hands of that dead ghost in Fusong. Looking at the other villages, if I am really wise and powerful, and my ability is outstanding, even if they can't reach the current level of Panshi Village, at least there should be no big gap. ”

Tianhao didn't humble himself this time, he stood up and bowed to Niu Weibang seriously and solemnly: "Thank you, King." ”

The King of Thunderhorn is a man with a bold personality. This point has been deeply experienced by Tianhao since the first contact. A superior who does not covet the credit of his subordinates is the best ruler.

Niu Weibang sat on the chair and accepted this salute, and he motioned to Tianhao to sit down with his eyes: "Say, what's going on?" ”

Tianhao asked very directly: "Your Majesty, you didn't receive the first secret letter I sent?" ”

"Nope." Niu Weibang moved his body, and the sitting posture with his legs apart looked very powerful: "I sent Yiluo out, and he never went back." ”

"It's a sign." Tianhao's expression, thinking, and words all showed that he was very calm at the moment: "If I'm not mistaken, Iloh should be dead." ”

"You mean, I have a mole around me?" Niu Weibang was furious, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

"If only I knew." Tianhao let out a deep sigh: "It's my fault...... I thought it would be safe to spread the word within my territory, so I didn't send them extra guards. Outcome...... Something like this happened. ”

"Someone is challenging my power." Niu Weibang's eyes were hooked on the burning red coals in the brazier, and his anger made the cyan blood vessels on both sides of his temples burst out: "This time, I could have led my troops to directly capture Steel Tooth City and completely solve the tribe of Iron Tooth, but now ...... It was those damn bed bugs hiding in the corner that cost me my chance. ”

He spoke quickly and reacted very sharply, and before Tianhao could speak, Niu Weibang immediately thought of another possibility: "Could it be someone from other tribes who did it?" The relationship between the deer clan and us is not very good, Mengxiang Village was destroyed, and they also died a prince. Seriously, the area around our Lei Niu Department is not peaceful, and there are enemies everywhere. ”

"It's unlikely." Tianhao shook his head thoughtfully: "I have been sending people to monitor the deer clan, and if there is any trouble, it can't hide from my eyes." What's more, Panshizhai guards the border artery, and no matter how you enter or exit, you must pass through here. If there is an abnormality, the patrol will report it to me as soon as possible. It was because everything was calm and no strangers came in that I did not send a guard to Ilo. ”

The ferocious killing intent was highlighted on Niu Weibang's face, he held his fingers hard, and the thick bone joints tightened his skin: "So, are you sure there are traitors in the clan?" ”

Tianhao thought for a few seconds and nodded: "This is the most reasonable explanation." ”

“…… Who would that be? Niu Weibang muttered to himself, as if he was chewing on this sentence, his brain was running rapidly, faces flashed in front of his eyes, question marks and exclamation marks were mixed and overlapped.

Tianhao didn't interject, he knew that he had to be silent at this time, and let Niu Weibang think alone.

After a long time, the King of Thunderhorn let out a low moan: "What the hell...... Who is doing this behind my back? ”

"I think this person should be able to get some kind of benefit from it." Tianhao's pronunciation was very clear, and his speed of speech was not hurried or slow: "Sniping the king's messenger is a capital crime, since the other party dares to do this, there must be a reason why he must take action." ”

After a pause, he added, "Of course, Iloh they may not be dead, still alive, just interned somewhere...... That's just my guess. ”

"No matter who it is, this king will never spare him!"

With this fierce roar, Niu Weibang picked up the teacup on the table and drank the warm liquid inside. With a sense of clarity and calmness returning to the inside of his body, the dryness of his throat caused by anxiety and anger was dispelled, his emotions gradually calmed down, and tyrannical and ferocious thoughts were replaced by a determination to find out the truth.

"Tell me about you!" Putting down the empty cup, the King of Thunderhorn shifted his gaze to Tianhao: "You have a lot of credit this time, you have killed the Iron Tooth, and you have also obtained so many Pig Clansmen. If every lord and leader below were as shrewd and capable as you, the king's life would be much better. ”

He laughed "hahahaha" without the slightest warning, like two people from Niu Weibang, who was furious a few minutes ago.

Soon, he stopped laughing: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Tianhao replied sincerely: "I want a surname." ”

No member of the barbarian clan is immune to vulgarity in this matter. Although the last name was almost useless to Tianhao, he knew that he could not refrain from it or seek a reward from other sources. Society and the world have their own fixed logic and framework, and occasionally making one or two out-of-the-ordinary actions will be seen as maverick, or even humble, but if there are many similar things, people will be suspicious.

"I'll have someone prepare your identity documents when I go back this time." Niu Weibang leaned forward, patted Tianhao's shoulder a few times, and said with a smile: "The current population of Panshi Village is more than 10,000, and it can already be upgraded to a city. As per convention, all lords of the castle were given surnames. This can't be considered a reward, think about it and change the conditions! ”

"That's all I want." Tianhao's attitude was very serious: "Speaking of which, this can't be regarded as my credit alone. Everyone in the village is trying, if only I ...... I'm afraid I can't do anything. ”

Niu Weibang put away his smile and looked at him with strange eyes: "Your idea is very special. ”

"I'm telling the truth." Tianhao's calm face did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation: "They respect me as the leader, and I have the responsibility to let them have food and clothes to wear." ”

The two people were very close, and Niu Weibang saw the color of purity, extreme cleanliness, and transparency like a clear sky from Tianhao's beautiful eyes.

"Too many people don't get so clean, they're so muddy that it's impossible to guess......" he sighed as only he understood the meaning, smiling with a bit of self-deprecation, "You know, sometimes I envy the guys below you." They have a good leader, and even at times like this, they will look out for them. If someone else is changed...... It's unthinkable. ”

"I've gotten too much." Tianhao said very sincerely.

"I love dealing with guys like you." Niu Weibang involuntarily raised his voice: "It seems that I am much luckier than my father and ancestors, you are a good subordinate, a super capable little cousin, and reassures me." ”

"Cousin?" Tianhao didn't understand what this meant.

"The relationship between all city lords and patriarchs is that of relatives. Some are linealine, some are like you, rising up little by little from below, and then we become relatives. Niu Weibang explained: "This is a rule set by the ancestors, and no one is allowed to violate it. ”

Tianhao became interested in this: "If it is your immediate family member of the Great King, you can directly become the city lord?" ”

"That can't be." Niu Weibang shook his head: "I will only give them a village, as for whether they can become the city lord, it depends on their ability and merit." ”

As he spoke, he slapped his thigh hard, then stood up and let out a hearty laugh: "I have to say 'congratulations' to you, you are probably the youngest city lord in the entire history of the Niu Clan. ”

……

According to the order of the King of the Thunder Bull, five thousand warriors were to be stationed in the Rock Village for a week.

This is an indispensable and important part of Tianhao's plan.

The Ox Clan's forging skills are unrivaled, and the warriors wear extremely strong alloy armor, and the swords and axes that come standard are extremely sharp.

Trade would take place between the various tribes, but there were things that were destined not to become commodities. In the case of the Ox Clan, for example, it is common practice to classify armor and weapons according to the quality of forging, and only ordinary quality weapons can be sold, and truly high-end products can only be used by members of the clan, or very few are given as gifts to the rulers of friendly tribes.

With a strong army to rely on, it completely deterred the pig people who had gathered from various walled cities.

The heavily armed patrols became the security guards, and whenever they walked past the pigs, the latter were always afraid. The tension and restraint did not last long, and the Pig soon discovered that these warriors were not as vicious as they had imagined, and although they looked cold and serious on the outside, as long as they followed the relevant rules honestly, no one would deliberately embarrass themselves.

Such a situation is unthinkable in the walled city of the people. Everyone is short of food...... Clever robbery, deceit, bullying men and women, and even more ferocious and barbaric behavior.

Morality only exists on the premise that it is guaranteed by strong strength. Even if they are of the same race, they still seem selfish in the face of survival and food.

They brought their bad habits to Panshizhai. Ten heads, a hundred heads, adult men stronger than the others...... They are accustomed to snatching food from old people and women, and if they have a full stomach, they aim for delicious food that tastes better and has a better texture.

Ah Xi is sixteen years old this year, and according to the standards of the northern barbarians, she is already an adult woman. The thick skeleton of bones made her look tall and strong, but in fact she did not have much meat, and the long-term half-starved life even made her somewhat malnourished, with dark skin and noticeably yellow hair.

Daddy was hired by the Tiger Clan the year before last and died while going out to fight. My mother is old, and she has no strength if she doesn't eat, and she usually can't work in the field for too long, so she works for a while and rests for a while. There are also three younger brothers under Ah Xi, all of whom are eight years old.

It's a very weird-looking family. Speaking of which, it was all made up by Ah Shi's father: he had never married any woman, and Ah Xi was the eldest daughter, but his energetic father began to chase other women in the city. He was very strong, and he usually spoke very funny, such a man was very pleasing to women, because there was no formal husband and wife status recognized by the chief and priest, and all kinds of rules and regulations could not control him, so Ah Xi had three younger brothers who were almost exactly the same age, and the period before and after the birth time was no more than a month at most.

Ah Xi thought that he would integrate into a big family, but who knew that Daddy died, and those women quickly caught up with other men. As for the three younger brothers who rolled in the mud with snot and bare ass...... The women said, that's the kind left by Daddy, in short, it's all your family, you can raise it if you want, if you don't want to, you can kill it with a knife, and you can deal with it as you like.

This is the true portrayal of the barbarian world.

The cruel life has honed Ah Xi to be extremely fierce. She became a mercenary at an early age, and the food she brought back had to leave behind some savings in addition to feeding her family.

During the battle, she lost one of her fangs. The uneven growth and development caused the remaining tooth to be unusually thick and sharp. From afar, it looks like a horn piercing through the lips and standing tall upward.

The three younger brothers saw everything in their eyes. In order, the elder sister in the family is the eldest, followed by the second, third and fourth.

In the winter of the previous year, the third child was so hungry that she came to the door and shouted for food, but was stabbed to death by three children on the spot.

In the end, she had nothing left, and her bones were ground into powder.

Since then, few people have dared to mess with the family.
