Chapter 493: Kunlun Tribe
Chapter 493: Kunlun Tribe
After making up his mind, Liu Feng followed the caravan, but what made him depressed was that the caravan just couldn't go out without stopping, and stayed under the car for a whole day, until Liu Feng jumped out at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Fortunately, there are no Dongchang chasers now, so it doesn't matter if you are tired. Looking around, he found that the convoy was driving all the way to the northwest, and after walking for a day, Liu Feng already felt that the weather around him was much colder than before.
This Nima is going there! Liu Feng complained, he didn't expect this convoy to go for so long, it seems that they have no intention of stopping.
After resting at the inn for the night, Liu Feng bought a horse in disguise a little and followed them the next day. After a few days, the caravan had entered the border of Xinjiang. It's September at this time, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the day is hot, and the night is even a little cold.
Fortunately, Liu Feng's divine skills protect his body, although the injuries on his body are not healed, but after all, he is a top master, so this weather will not cause much damage to him.
It's just that when they got here, the population became sparse, Liu Feng noticed that the caravan would have a group of people coming in late at night, and then transport away a few carts of salt, and then return to the carriage, but the cart was heavy and different, Liu Feng secretly took a look, but found that the cart had become gold and silver, apparently exchanging salt for money.
Compared to this wild land, the salt in the Central Plains is much purer than here, and if the luck is good, it can make huge profits from it.
Finally, on this evening, the caravan finally reached its destination. Compared with other places, the population here has reached the point of a county town compared to the Central Plains.
The convoy went in at night and stopped at a mansion, Liu Feng's injuries in the past few days have also improved, so it is not difficult to keep up with these people.
I saw that the leader walked into a mansion, which was much more luxurious than it was, and it should also be a rich family, Liu Feng climbed over the wall and walked in.
I saw two sturdy men standing there, and the leader of the caravan was stopped when he walked there, and after a while, a man in strange clothes came out of the mansion and greeted him with his fists. Liu Feng knew that this was a unique costume for the locals, and the two walked in hand in hand.
Seeing this, Liu Feng flew up to the roof to uncover the bricks and tiles and looked inside, only to see that person say to the leader of the caravan: "Why did Lord Lin come, Tadek has been waiting for a long time!" ā
Sure enough, it's not an ordinary businessman, so I want to see what kind of conspiracy you have.
"Lord Tadek is welcome, we haven't cooperated once or twice, but this time Lord Liu specially explained, this time the matter must be guaranteed to be foolproof, don't go wrong at this juncture!" The man who was called Lord Lin said.
"Hey, don't worry, this overseer, my son is the first warrior in Kunlun, and the princess's martial arts competition will definitely come out on top in seven days, but I don't know what happened to the overseer about raising taxes?" Tadec asked with an oath.
"Don't worry about this, Lord Liu has asked the emperor to increase the Kunlun tribute, and the emperor has agreed, I think it should be here in the next few days, you should be ready!" Lin Daren is humane.
"Oh, Inspector Liu really said what he said, please tell Lord Lin to Inspector Liu, but if you can really honor the Kunlun throne in the future, you will definitely honor Inspector Liu every year!" Tadek said happily.
"That's it!" Lord Lin also nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Feng felt strange when he heard this, Kunlun? By the way, could it be that this is the Kunlun tribe mentioned in the original book? Yes, it seems that the villains of this tribe are none other than the Tadek father and son!
Hehe, I didn't expect to be here, Princess Taka? Seems to be a top beauty, and she's barely one of the heroines, well, at least she has appeared. I have to get her done if I can't say it, otherwise the system will come to find fault in the end, what should I do?
In the original book, it only shows that the Kunlun tribe was increased by the imperial court, but I didn't expect that this guy and Liu Xi were in the same stream.
Tadek wants to plot a usurpation of the throne, which is said in the original book, but I don't know what they are doing with so much salt? If it's a sale, how much can this tribe use?
It's weird.
Liu Feng didn't go out anymore, since he knew that this was a conspiracy between Liu Xi and Tadek, there was no need for him to stay. Originally, Liu Feng also wanted to find an inn to stay, but what made him depressed was that there didn't seem to be a place to stay. Liu Feng had no choice but to build a fire in the open field, wanting to stay here for the night.
didn't wait for Liu Feng to rest, suddenly a few torches rushed towards him, Liu Feng was stunned, I don't know why, this is not the Central Plains, there should be no Dongchang Fanzi!
Sure enough, after a while, a few people came from Liu Feng's side, and it seemed that they should be the herdsmen here, and they seemed to be a little unhappy when they saw that Liu Feng was from the Central Plains. "Outsiders?" he asked. Are you from Central Plains? ā
Liu Feng nodded.
Several people saw Liu Feng's face even worse when he admitted it, and one said: "Old captain, this person is from the Central Plains, let's drive him away!" ā
Liu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, a little curious, although the Kunlun tribe was very dissatisfied with the tax increase of the imperial court, but he didn't live in their place, so it would be a little unreasonable to drive himself away!
Fortunately, the old man who was called the old captain was very harmonious, and after listening to the man's words, he turned around and reprimanded: "Nonsense, it's good that the Emperor of the Central Plains oppressed us, but it has nothing to do with their people!" Since this little brother is a friend from afar, how can he be rude when he is hospitable? ā
When a few people heard it, although they were a little unconvinced, the old man Yu Wei was still there, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
At this time, a young man who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old and had a long flesh said, "Grandpa is right, this brother, what is your name?" How did it end up here? ā
"Oh, my name is Liu Feng, yes...... I'm here to do business. Liu Feng has a good impression of the two of them here.
"Haha, the old man is old, but his eyes are not blind, and the appearance and temperament of the son have nothing to do with those businessmen who are full of copper scandal." The old man said.
Liu Feng smiled and didn't refute it, is this praising me again? Yes, it should be.
"My brother doesn't want to say it, forget it, my name is Zazamu, and everyone calls me Zaza. This is my grandfather Zalgo, and these are all our people! Zazamu said happily.
"Zaza, nice to meet you!" Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Liu Gongzi, you are a guest from afar, go back with us, it's cold here at night!" Zalgo said enthusiastically, and Zazamu was also by his side.
Originally, it would be nothing to live here for a few more days with Liu Feng's martial arts, but now that his injuries have healed, he is really worried about getting some typhoid fever. "In that case, it's a good bother!" Liu Feng said politely.
"Don't bother, don't bother, we're here, it's been a long time since we've had a guest! Liu Gongzi can come as a guest, we are not very happy. Zalgo said with a smile.
"The old gentleman doesn't need to be in my Liu Gongzi, just call me by my name, there is no equality of identity between us!" Liu Feng listened to this old man call out what kind of son he was, his heart was awkward, if it was in the Central Plains, the word "son" was just a title, but here, Liu Feng obviously felt that they seemed to be inferior when they spoke.
After hearing this, Liu Feng knew that in this era, except for the Han people, the other races attached to the imperial court were relatively lowly, and perhaps there was also a feeling of Western slavery.
Zalgo suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, in that case, then the old man is not hypocritical, we will call you by your name!" ā
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what these people meant, how could he say this casually, they didn't seem to have the hostility they had before?
Followed Zalgo and the others into the yurt, what goat milk and mutton is not less, although Liu Feng is a little unaccustomed to the diet here, but it is difficult to be gracious, so that in addition to these, he is very thoughtful to take care of himself.
The night passed, and the next day Zalgo and his wife took Liu Feng to play, Liu Feng looked around strangely, originally in his opinion, since he could eat goat's milk and mutton, then the life of the people here should be good, but now he came out and didn't see a cow or sheep, which made Liu Feng a little strange.
"Old man, Zaza, are you all shepherds?" Liu Feng asked.
"Yes, our whole clan is herdsmen!" Zaza nodded.
"Then how do you ......" Liu Feng pointed around, and the meaning was very clear.
"Little Brother Liu, aren't you surprised why there are no cattle and sheep here?" Zalgo said with a smile.
"Brother, you don't know, the cattle and sheep of our tribe have been donated to your court. The last sheep left yesterday will also entertain you, brother. Zaza said.
"Ah...... Why didn't you say it earlier! Liu Feng was a little flattered.
"Little Brother Liu doesn't have to care, one sheep can't save the entire tribe!" Zalgo didn't care.
"Yes...... So how do you live? Liu Feng pointed around and said, the annual tribute will not be paid!
"Alas, the Central Plains Imperial Court has been raising taxes, and it was fine a few years ago, but now that the drought has been going on for many years, we really have no choice." Zalgo sighed.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry, in a few days, the king will hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, the king has already said, and after the horse is selected, let the princess and the horse go to the Central Plains, and ask the emperor of the Central Plains to reduce the annual tribute." Zaza said.
"Is your princess going to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives?" Liu Feng asked.
"Yes, this contest is set by the king himself, in the contest, whoever can win will be able to marry the princess!" Zalgo said.
Liu Feng nodded, sure enough, he didn't expect the experience of the original book to catch up with him.
"By the way, old man, how do you get salt here?" Liu Feng suddenly remembered the batch of private salt.
