Chapter Thirty-Six: Absorbing the Barbarian Tribes
The twenty or so people left in the square sat down on the ground in fright when they saw Mel's terrible situation, their faces full of horror and their bodies trembling.
When they saw Su Lin coming over, they also rushed over and begged for mercy.
"Lord Duke, we were wrong, spare us!"
"We promise to be honest in the future, and we will never have two hearts, let us go!"
Su Lin looked at the people who were crying bitterly in front of him, and also looked at them and said expressionlessly: "You chose to lay down your weapons last night, which means that you don't have to die, but you will all be reduced to coolies in the future." ”
With that, he asked the soldiers to take these people down, and although the death penalty could be avoided, the living crime could not be escaped, and they had to pay for their actions.
At this moment, six people came out from the side, all of them carrying a corpse in their hands, it was Cass and two guards who had died last night.
There was a cry as the crowd left, all of them were the families of Cass and the two guards, and they threw themselves on the bodies of the three and wept bitterly.
After everyone saw this scene, the sense of depression brought to them by the previous execution disappeared in an instant, and they hated those people even more in their hearts.
Then Surin and Felicia rode around again, and Felicia was in a very good mood at this time, looking at him and saying with a smile: "After today, I'm afraid no one will dare to have any second thoughts." ”
"This is also inevitable, the consolidation of power must be accompanied by bloodshed, and their riot provides a rare opportunity, otherwise the hidden danger cannot be eliminated at all, and the longer it passes, the more powerful it will be. Surin also seemed to be very relaxed at this time, and only by solving the internal problems would Logo develop more quickly and steadily.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the barbarian tribe in the mountains was very strange, and the old people of several tribes were gathering together, their faces full of sorrow, and their brows were deeply furrowed.
At this time, one of them was the first to speak, "Tariq, you have the most ideas among us, you should tell me what to do now?"
"Yes, we can't catch prey in the mountains at all, and the group of people has blocked the way to the mountains, and won't let us go up at all. ”
"If this continues, everyone in our tribe will starve to death. ”
At the top of the room sat an old man covered in blue tattoos, his face was also covered by Taoist rings, and when he heard everyone complaining, Tariq also sighed, and then a hoarse and low voice sounded: "Now we either have to change places to live, or we have to compromise with Nasurin." ”
Everyone also fell silent when they heard this, although they can also migrate to other places, but other places are also full of dangers, especially the orcs will still haunt from time to time, they can't resist at all.
After a while, Tariq finally made up his mind, stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Surin and see if I can get them out of the mountain!"
Surin and Felicia rode around the meadows outside and then returned to the town, and as soon as they reached the gate of the city, Gru came up and said, "Lord Duke, Tariq, the leader of the barbarians, has come and said that he wants to talk to you. ”
Hearing this, Su Lin also laughed, he had not paid attention to these barbarians before, and he was waiting for this time.
After entering the house, he saw an old man sitting on a chair, and Su Lin also said directly: "You must have something to do when you come to me, let's say it! ”
"I want you to withdraw the people from the mountains so that we too can go into the mountains to hunt, otherwise the people of our tribe will starve to death. Tariq directly stated the purpose of this visit.
"I'm afraid this won't work, we don't have much food in stock now, so we have to hunt to make ends meet. Su Lin directly and decisively refused.
Tarik's face changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "You are doing this regardless of our life or death, don't blame us when the time comes." ”
For his danger, Surin also shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you like." ”
"You"
Seeing him like this, Tariq was also so angry that his hands kept trembling, as if he was about to burst out at any moment, but then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a haggard face: "Okay! What do you want?
Su Lin just waited for him to say this, so he immediately continued: "It's very simple, as long as you can live with the people in the tribe and me, just follow my arrangement." ”
After knowing that Surin was for this purpose, Tariq also asked suspiciously: "I want to know what you want to do?
"You don't have to worry, it's that simple, if I really want to get rid of you, do you think you can still sit here and talk to me now? ”
Su Lin said his conditions, and he was very emotional in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the land of Luogo is now sparsely populated, with only more than 10,000 people, and he can't do a large-scale project, he wouldn't want to encircle the barbarian tribe so much.
After pondering for a while, Tariq finally agreed to Surin's conditions, and then went back to prepare and take the people down.
After sending Tarik away, Felicia also pushed the door and walked in, just now she heard the conversation inside outside, and she had a question in her heart, so she raised it to Surin: "Now the people in the town and the group of barbarians can't get along at all, aren't you afraid that they will fight if you do this?"
"Don't worry, I have my own measure, in fact, the hatred between the two sides has not reached the point of irreconcilability, and I have a better way. Su Lin said confidently.
Then he called Gru and Kersma, told them about it, and told them to cut down some trees and build houses to take in the barbarians, and told him to inform the townspeople of the news.
Kersma was also stunned when she received this task, but she didn't say anything.
When the people of the town heard the news, they also exploded, and they all thought that why should they accept that group of barbarians, and there was a lot of discussion, but after the discussion, it was quiet.
Bill was also restless and anxious at this time, and when he learned that he had leaked the whereabouts of the Duke for a while, he was so frightened that he couldn't even eat.
Now he was standing outside the house, not knowing whether to go in and confess, and when he hesitated, Su Lin's voice came from the house: "Come in! ”
After entering, Bill also felt very worried, and said tremblingly: "Duke, Lord Duke, I"
"I heard that you have direct contact with those who rioted!" Surin asked without looking back, taking a sip from his glass.
"Lord Duke, I, I didn't know them before, but I just happened to meet and drank a meal, and then I said that I leaked my mouth. Bill quickly explained.
Hearing this, Surin continued to drink and did not answer.
And Bill saw him like this and continued: "Lord Duke, you must believe me, or I will die." ”
"Okay!
"If I die, there will be no one to serve you!"
After reprimanding him a few words, Su Lin let him leave, knowing that he didn't have such courage at all.
Soon a row of wooden houses rose on the other side of the river, and it became like a small town again.
On a sunny day, Surin led his men to the bank of the river to prepare for Tariq and the others.
After waiting for a while, a large group of people appeared in sight, mostly the elderly and children, and there were only more than 2,000 young and middle-aged people.
Surin walked over and stretched out his hand directly to Tariq, who was also stunned for a moment, but still stretched out his hand in the same way.
After shaking each other, Su Lin said with a smile: "From now on, we will be a family, I hope the previous unhappiness can be forgotten, after all, we will live together for a long time in the future." ”
"Lord Duke, you are right, I will appease them. Tariq nodded.
"Alright, you go and settle down first, and I'll have a feast for you in the evening." Surin waved them to settle down first.
When he turned around, he saw a lot of people gathered on the other side of the river, watching, telling them to disperse and not be surrounded here.
After Tariq and the people were settled, the elders gathered together, and Tariq took the lead and said, "You all saw it! We didn't come here to be bullied and abused, now we should be at ease!"
As soon as the words fell, someone said contemptuously: "It was like this at the beginning, who knows if it will change in the future." ”
"At least there's nothing wrong with it now, I'll talk about it later, now you all give me honesty, don't cause trouble again. Tariq roared as he looked at the others, who were only thinking about the immediate situation, not even the consequences.
At this time, Surin also called Bill, who was in charge of the grain, and asked him to lead people to start preparing for the bonfire in the evening.
Bill immediately went down to prepare after receiving the order, while Surin let Eve follow him, ready to teach her to make a novelty.
Eve watched as Su Lin took out the flour and mixed it again, and the steps after that were also very familiar, so she hurriedly asked, "Lord Duke, are you going to make bread again?"
"No, it's to make steamed buns. ”
After that, Surin took out the steamer made by someone before, put the cut dough in it, mixed water into the pot, put the steamer on top of the pot, and then started to make a fire.
At this time, Eve was still muttering about what a steamed bun was, but she was also staring with a pair of curious eyes when she saw that the big wood began to steam.
Seeing her like this, Su Lin Su Lin also smiled, after all, the only cooking methods popular in this era are roasting and stewing, and they don't know what steaming is.
The first steps of making steamed bread and bread are the same, but the last step is the difference between baking and steaming.
