It's a big deal and another big fat sheep.

Hei Bo Bapu strode up, gave a hug to several elders of the Xiao family, and said to Xiao Bushan, "Elder Xiao San, we haven't seen each other for many years. ”

Xiao Bushan pointed to the long truck behind him.

He has a very high status in the Xiao family, but the Xiao family also attaches great importance to the big deal, so they sent him over.

"Yes, yes, can you let me take a look at the goods. ”

"Okay. ”

Xiao Bushan took him to see the goods first, most of them are usually things that are used, and these can be seen approximately. But there are also some very valuable goods.

"Patriarch Heibo, you see, this is the autumn knife wine of the state. ”

"Is it the autumn knife wine of the Qin family?" the Heibo clan patriarch immediately narrowed his eyes happily.

"Can there be a second one? not only the autumn knife wine, but also the elixir of the Fire Spirit Gate. ”

Huolingmen is located in Gaozhou, and it is also one of the five major sects in the northwest, but its reputation is much smaller than that of the Tiancang faction, but there are several ground fires in this gate, so Huolingmen developed them and used them to refine the elixir.

In addition to these two, the Xiao family also brought some other very valuable goods.

There are also a lot of good things in Heibo Village, not only the cattle and sheep skins and furs produced by themselves, but also from various doors, from Shiliang Mountain, such as some wild elixirs, some special skins, blood, bones and some rare minerals on some fierce beasts and demon beasts...... Wait a minute.

However, these are side goods, and this time the main deal is still the skin.

Hei Bo Bapu hurriedly looked at the goods on the various trucks, and suddenly looked at a young man and asked, "Why are you shivering?"

Jiang Ning knew that this was not from the Xiao family, but a gang leader selected from Baichuan Fort.

"Small, small," asked the black boss, and the guy became even more nervous, trembling and unable to speak.

"Yes. Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Xiao Bushan walked over: "What are you afraid of, could it be that the Heibo Patriarch will eat you." ”

He turned his head again and said: "Patriarch Heibo, there are a lot of goods escorted this time, and some subordinates have been invited, these people have never been out of the door, and they have not seen anything, so don't blame you." ”

What is the reputation of the Heibo tribe in Licheng City, Heibo Bapu knows, he laughed: "No blame, no blame, let's enter the village." ”

Everyone escorted the car into the village, and Jiang Ning looked around attentively.

Heibo Village is said to be a wall, but it is actually a small city, and some exquisite buildings have appeared in the wall. However, most of the houses are still very rudimentary, with stone walls and thatched roofs. But it doesn't mean that Heibo Village is poor, Jiang Ning saw that most of the women, including some little girls who were not yet married, were wearing gorgeous and expensive jewelry, and everyone was full of red faces, and there were almost no people with vegetables on their faces, indicating that their food was also very good.

The reason why the houses are simple shows that the Heibo people, like many barren tribes, are not too particular about the houses.

There is a cross-shaped street in the middle of the village, dozens of shops are scattered on both sides of the street, and Jiang Ning also saw a brothel, which is full of Terran women, needless to say, basically all of them are captured by bandits. Under normal circumstances, even if you become a prostitute, you will not come to Heibo Village.

There is also an inn, which is also not a normal human business, but a business of bandits, or other visitors from the wilderness.

Xiao Bushan brought so many people and goods that it was impossible to stay in the inn, but Heibo Village had a large area and some empty places. Knowing that the Xiao family's brigade was coming, Hei Bo Bapu set aside a vacant lot in advance, placed many thick tents, and placed some daily necessities such as firewood, beds, tables and chairs in the tent to house the people of the Xiao family.

The brigade slowly entered the clearing.

"Elder Xiao San, I would like to ask the City Lord's Mansion to send a tax collector to our village to station. ”

Jiang Ning glanced up at him.

The desolate clan also has to be taxed, strictly speaking, as long as they are on the territory of the Moon Dynasty, they are all the people of the Moon Dynasty, they must be taxed.

Not only the inner hinterland, but also the ripe desert near the castle of Licheng, must also pay taxes to the castle lord's mansion. Of course, in order to appease, the tax is very light, almost about the same as that of the Pin family.

The castle lord's mansion is not interested in taxes, but in its symbolic meaning. Paying taxes to the City Lord's Mansion means submitting to the City Lord's Mansion.

What would happen if the Heibo Clan really submitted to the City Lord's Mansion, and would the City Lord's Mansion immediately cancel this operation?

But he shook his head in his heart, this is impossible, the Heibo tribe has gone too far, too far to turn back. Licheng officials will not agree, so many families of victims in Licheng will not agree, and the bandits in Shiliangshan will not agree.

Xiao Bushan stopped and was surprised: "Patriarch Heibo, why did you say this?"

"Elder Xiao San, you see, Licheng has built five forts in the north road, and the two forts are on the edge of our Heibo Village. ”

"Haha, Patriarch Heibo, you're too worried. Increasing the guard camp and building a fort is an order of the imperial court, not only in Licheng, but also in all counties in the border area. When the site of Zanbao was originally built, Guizhai was also taken into account, and Zhuling Fort was not built in Xiaozhuling, but built on the big pinnacle of Shiliang Mountain Road. Because of Guizhai, the second fort was pulled to Xiaozhuling, so that the third fort could be moved to Weishan and staggered with Guizhai. The battalion of Weishan Fort will be the children of the Zhong family, and you have also dealt with the Zhong family, isn't it clear?"

"But it's so close, I'm afraid there will be conflicts in the future. ”

"Why the conflict? As far as the old man knows, the order given by the City Lord's Mansion to the officers and soldiers of Weishan Fort and Zhuling Fort is to avoid Guizhai as much as possible. Why can't Guizhai also make a little avoidance? Do you really want to lead the Heibo clan above the Moon Dynasty?"

"How come, how come? Last year, we recovered the goods for your family......

"Patriarch Heibo, I'm embarrassed to say this!"

Jiang Ning didn't know what they were talking about.

Generally speaking, in the Northern, Eastern, and Southern Provinces, the various wastelands and bandits still bought the face of the Xiao family and the Zhong family to some extent, at least after the Yue Dynasty unified the territory of the human race, no one robbed the goods of the two of them.

In addition to these three trade routes, there is also a trade route, that is, the desolate tribes in the depths of the sand plain, where there is the Xiong family like a fish in water, but no one will give face to the Xiao Zhong family. However, in the territory of the human race, the two families have an advantage, and the surrounding counties may still be afraid of the Xiong family, and no one will sell the Xiong family's account to Pingwei Mansion. It's just that the Xiong family eats it all in black and white, and most of the desolate clans in Licheng have close contacts with their family, and in general, the Xiong family still occupies an absolute advantage.

However, just last year, the Xiao family brought a batch of very valuable goods from Shahe County, but they were robbed on the Shiliang Mountain Road, and several Xiao family children and dozens of Xiao family descendants were also killed.

This is in Licheng!

The Xiao family was furious, sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and threatened to take revenge on the murderer at all costs.

When the Xiong family saw that the Xiao family was serious, they sent people to persuade them, and asked the Heibo clan to "assist" them, chased the goods back, and sent some heads.

As a big family, they can't be rash, they thought about it, and they revealed it.

But as the top taster in Licheng, it is undoubtedly equivalent to being slapped in the face.

"Third Elder Xiao, I can swear to the heavens, that incident has nothing to do with our Heibo clan. ”

"Don't you know that we are the Xiao family? If it is related, will we continue to trade with you? But Patriarch Heibo, it's not for me to say more, which side of Shayuan is their true friend, and you are just their pawns. ”

Hei Bo Bapu sneered in his heart, it is precisely because of the bear family that you will be wronged, if there is no them, you human race still don't know what kind of fat sheep we will be!

The two of them said something half-truthfully, the sky is getting twilight, today is not able to carefully check the goods and transactions, Hei Bo Bapu personally feasted a few elders of the Xiao family, as for Jiang Ning and them, Hei Bo Bapu also sent someone to send a few roast sheep, as well as their homemade spirits.

Jiang Ning tasted it, it was spicy and astringent, and it was almost impossible to enter his mouth, so that the taste of roast sheep was not bad.

After a long time, several members of the Xiao family came back.

But they sat in the tent with Jiang Ning and said nothing.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Bushan said, "Uncle Hong, you go out and have a look." ”

An old man stood up, walked out of the tent, and came back from a look around the van...... It's not about trucks.

"Guys, someone is watching over us. ”

Everyone sighed together.

When Jiang Ning said the whole plan in Weishan Fort, he was so surprised that General Lu Wei opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.

The people of Xiao Zhong's two families also suddenly realized, it turned out that when they stayed in Weishan Fort and were at a loss, General Lu Wei once said, I will invite someone to come over when I go back to Licheng. Then he took Jiang Ning to Weishan Fort, and the people of the two families did not think that Lu Wei would invite Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning would not let Lu Wei use a word of invitation.

Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Ning who Lu Wei would invite.

It's this plan that seems to be flawless, and before he enters Heibo Village, he reveals a big horse's feet!

"I was negligent......" Jiang Ning said slowly.

This horse foot was Jiang Ning's negligence, so that several people in the Xiao family looked at Jiang Ning with some dissatisfaction.

Xiao Bushan comforted: "Dao Weishen, it's not your fault. ”

His expression may not be comforting, and the expressions of the rest of the Xiao family are even more naked.

Jiang Ning's face became even more gloomy, and he had to listen to this sentence in reverse, it was either your fault or your fault! The big defeat was your fault, the victory, the tragic victory, the heavy casualties, or your fault! He was clever and took the initiative to jump into this deep pit, and he happened to become a scapegoat for a few old guys in two families.
