Chapter 143: Dugu Linglong's praise
"Yes... By the way, where did we talk about before?" swallowing his saliva, Qin Hao sat down and said with a dry smile.
"When it comes to how to solve this matter. Dugu Linglong reminded coldly.
"Yes, that's all it takes to get to today. Qin Hao nodded, looked at the few elders in front of him and said with a smile: "I remember that there were not a lot of materials left last time, even if you are frugal, you don't have much stock at the moment, right?"
Seeing the smile on Qin Hao's face, the faces of several elders sank again, because what Qin Hao said was right, they didn't have much food at the moment.
If they don't add more, they won't last long.
"Come, sit down and talk, I guess a few of you haven't eaten and slept well in the past few days, okay? Come and try these specialties of our Lingyun City, it's very good." Qin Hao took a bite of the dish with chopsticks, tasted it, smiled, and motioned for a few elders to sit down.
The elders glanced at each other, and they all sat down, but they didn't touch the dishes on the table, they didn't have the heart to eat them now.
In fact, since they saw that Xiao Hei, several of them were hesitating, hesitating whether to take Qin Hao down and force him to find out how to enter the God of War Temple.
These are the two choices, if you choose to force the question, then you have to tear your face, take down Qin Hao, and then loot Lingyun City, so that you can naturally get a lot of food resources.
But there is a risk in doing so, that is, they may not be able to capture Qin Hao alive in front of Dugu Linglong, and even if they are captured alive, they may not be able to force a way to enter the God of War Temple.
The Temple of the God of War was too important to their barbarians to tolerate a single slip of the beaten, so they couldn't afford to gamble.
In this case, there is only one way left: peace talks.
Glancing at the expressions on the faces of several people, Qin Hao smiled coldly in his heart, how could he not know what these old guys were thinking.
Speaking of which, he is walking a tightrope this time, and if he is not careful, he may be doomed, but he still does it, because if their future forces want to develop, they can't bypass these barbarians, and this God of War tribe is their breakthrough.
"I won't go around the bush, I will be building in Lingyun City soon, which requires a lot of manpower, and your tribe needs enough materials to survive, I can use the materials to hire people from your tribe to help me build Lingyun City, and you can also get the materials you buy through labor, so you can take what you need, how about it?"
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Qin Hao looked fixedly at the second elder directly opposite.
Because he has already discovered that among these elders, the two elders have the greatest right to speak, and the final decision is in the hands of this person.
At this moment, the smell of food came in, and then the whole station became noisy.
Hearing the noise, the second elder, who was pondering, frowned, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "What's going on outside?"
"Second Elder Hui, those Great Qin people have put hundreds of cauldrons on the edge of the station, cooking big meat and food, which is very rich, but without the elder's order, the clansmen have not moved. Soon a barbarian man ran in and got down on one knee.
And coincidentally, this barbarian strong man also seemed to be hungry, his stomach gurgled straight, the sound was like thunder, and then looking at the dishes on his face, it was obvious that he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.
The second elder's face turned dark, he looked at Qin Hao with an unkind gaze, and said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is just our Lingyun City showing hospitality, after all, you are friends from afar, it's okay to invite you to have a full meal, right?" Qin Hao shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "Of course, this meal is free, if you want to eat the next meal, you need to participate in the construction of Lingyun City, is that fair?"
"There is no wine and meat in the world that is eaten for nothing, this old man understands, and the conditions you said are also very fair, but whether this is too little, our ultimate goal is to enter there, you have to understand this. Knocking on the table, the second elder said sternly.
If they hadn't seen Qin Hao's inheritance crystal and Xiao Hei, then their purpose would be enough materials to survive, but now that they knew that Qin Hao might have the means to enter the God of War Temple, they would naturally not give up on this.
Qin Hao also knew this, so he smiled and said: "Please rest assured about this, Wuhuang is now my fiancée, I will not use this to fool you, but after all, we have just started to cooperate now, so it can be said that there is not much trust at all."
Just like just now, we were on the verge of fighting, and it will definitely not work if we cooperate directly and deeply, so we have to take our time and at least build a little bit of trust, which is the basis for further cooperation. ”
Listening to the increasingly noisy noise, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Then now ask a few of you to make a decision on this first step of cooperation, after all, your clan is still hungry!"
The second elder and the few elders next to him glanced at each other, and finally they all nodded and said, "We agree to your first step of cooperation!"
"Wise choice!" Smiling slightly, Qin Hao poured a glass of wine again and said, "Then let's toast to this first step of cooperation!"
Several elders hesitated for a moment, but then they all picked up their wine glasses and touched Qin Hao, then looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all.
"Gollum-"
The strong man who knelt on one knee had his stomach ringing again at this time, and Qin Hao smiled when he heard it, and said, "Don't kneel, don't you see that your elders have agreed? ”
The strong man didn't stand up, but he looked at the elders with blank eyes, obviously waiting for the elders to speak.
"Go, let the people have a good meal, but they must take turns, and there must be no less sentry. The second elder said a little gloomy, and the other elders also had some gloom on their faces.
Now that they think about it, they all feel that what they have done as an elder is really aggrieved, and they haven't even solved the food and clothing of the clansmen, so that they are almost receiving charity from others now.
What a shame!
"Now that the cooperation has been reached, then Qin will no longer disturb the meal, we will talk about the specific matters of cooperation tomorrow, and we will leave first!" Qin Hao stood up and arched his hand and smiled.
The hearts of several elders were extremely complicated at this time, so they didn't keep it, but they still sent Qin Hao and Dugu Linglong outside the station.
Leaving the station of the God of War tribe, Qin Hao and Dugu Linglong climbed to the top of the city and looked at the continuous station in the distance.
"Linglong, if you have anything to say, there is nothing else that we can say about this old husband and wife. Qin Hao turned his head and smiled.
Ever since he left the station of the God of War Tribe, Qin Hao noticed that his wife's brows had been furrowed, and he wanted to speak several times, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't say it.
"Why don't you just put forward the conditions that have been set a long time ago?" Dugu Linglong said after a pause.
Qin Hao had already made a plan for the cooperation with the God of War tribe, but the cooperation that Qin Hao just said couldn't match that plan at all, which made Dugu Linglong a little puzzled.
"Linglong, have you ever boiled a live frog?" Qin Hao did not directly answer Dugu Linglong's question, but asked rhetorically.
"No!" Dugu Linglong was slightly stunned, then frowned slightly and replied.
"I don't think you're going to do such a boring game, and I haven't done it before, but I've heard people say that if you put a frog directly into boiling water, it will jump out immediately, but if you put it in cold water and heat it slowly, the frog won't feel it at first, but it's impossible to jump out when the water temperature rises. Qin Hao stood with his hands in his hands and smiled indifferently.
"You mean the God of War tribe is the frog?" Dugu Linglong said thoughtfully.
"Yes, but not entirely, to be precise, those elders are the frogs I want to cook. A cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.
Qin Hao didn't have a good impression of those elders, those people were too stubborn, coupled with the blood feud between the barbarians and the Great Qin Empire, it was impossible for them to truly merge into Lingyun City.
Although it is not impossible to change the minds of those people, it is too difficult, and it will take a lot of time, Qin Hao has no extra time and energy to waste on these old stubborns.
According to his plan, if there are no accidents, these people will eventually be eliminated.
And Qin Hao's method is also very simple, that is, to slowly integrate the people of the God of War Tribe into Lingyun City, and this first step starts with the construction of Lingyun City.
This qiē is all subtle, and I didn't think it at first, but after those elders found out, I am afraid that most of the people of the God of War tribe have already adapted to the new stable life.
Qin Hao knew very well what kind of life the God of War tribe had before, and it could be said that he had not even solved the problem of food and clothing, which could be seen from those thin women and children who only had skin and bones.
Qin Hao didn't understand what kind of honor and blood feud it was, but he understood that for these people who were struggling with food and clothing every day, a full bite of food and a stable life were more important than anything else.
As long as these people are allowed to live a stable life, the ghost will be willing to return to the hard life of the past!
And what Qin Hao needs now is time, he has to wait for a month after the Five Elements Great Array is fully operational, then there will be a certain defensive ability, and at that time, even if these elders of the God of War tribe use desperate secret methods, it will be enough to suppress it directly.
"You are so insidious!" was silent again for a while, Dugu Linglong seemed to have figured this out, and directly gave Qin Hao such an evaluation.
After receiving such an evaluation from his wife, the expression on Qin Hao's face immediately froze, and he turned his head a little depressed, and said, "Linglong, can't you praise me?"
"That's praising you!" A smile flashed in her dark eyes, and Dugu Linglong said coldly.
"Uh... Well, your boasting is something special. Qin Hao looked at him and said sullenly.
Then he raised his head, looked at the sun that was about to rise to the middle of the sky, and said with a smile: "The hour is coming!"
"It's almost there!" Dugu Linglong nodded in response.
