Chapter 45: Kneel
In the mysterious forest, Gu Bei led people to catch five adult frost deer and ten cubs.
Like the iron-headed sheep, except for the two doe with their cubs, the other adult frost deer are all in the pot.
Gu Bei stood outside the enclosure and said to Lu Liang: "For the time being, I will catch so much, the iron-headed sheep can be regarded as one of the weakest demon beasts, and the frost deer is also relatively weak among the demon beasts, if even these two foreign beasts cannot be domesticated, it will be even more difficult for others." ”
Lu Liang said with a firm face: "His Royal Highness the prince put down, I will definitely do my best to domesticate these iron-headed sheep and frost deer." ”
Gu Bei nodded and said, "I'll take Ao Xing to help you clean up the threat nearby, and we'll return to Thorn City after cleaning up, and it's up to you here in the future." ”
"Ao Xing, let's go."
Gu Bei carried his spear and climbed onto the dragon's back, and then Ao Xing spread his wings and flew in an open place, flying around the forest, and when he encountered a powerful demonic beast or demon beast, he directly hunted and killed.
It took half a day, Gu Bei and Ao Xing hunted and killed more than a dozen demonic beasts and demon beasts, temporarily minimizing the threat near this secret base.
Of course, the mysterious forest is extremely dangerous, and all kinds of powerful beasts emerge in an endless stream, which can only ensure the safety of those soldiers for a while.
In the evening, Gu Bei took Ye Wei and Li Qingling and returned to Thorn City.
At this moment, in Thorn City, in the City Lord's Mansion, the housekeeper Lao Lu was looking at the deacon of the Hou family and the Gu family's caravan with an angry face.
"Every year, you exchange silver money and grain for salt and iron, but this year you want to use demonic beasts and demon beasts, this matter is absolutely impossible!"
The deacon of the Gu family said with a smile: "Steward Lu, don't say it so absolutely, exchanging demonic beasts and demon beasts for salt and iron is a win-win situation for both of us." ”
"How much is food worth? Warcraft and monsters are worth a lot! ”
"If you agree to such a deal, we can negotiate the price of salt and iron, and we will definitely not let you suffer."
The deacon of the Hou family echoed: "That's right, the value of demonic beasts and demon beasts is high, after trading, you can get more salt and iron in Thorn City, forge more weapons, and hunt more demonic beasts and demon beasts, which is a great thing!" ”
Gu Wanquan and Hou Degui also persuaded on the side, Lao Lu Tie blushed, and at first he defended a few words, but then he didn't say a word, and let their mouths be dry.
"Yo, it's so lively in the house today!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, attracting everyone's attention.
Lao Lu looked up and saw Gu Bei walking towards the lobby with Ye Wei and Li Qingling.
"Your Highness, you're back!"
Lao Lu immediately stood up and trotted all the way to Gu Bei's side, feeling a long sigh of relief in his heart.
When Gu Bei came back, he felt confident in his heart, and the expression on his face was much soothed.
"What's going on?" Gu Bei asked.
Lao Lu told the Gu family and the Hou family's caravan about asking Thorn City to exchange demonic beasts and demon beasts for salt and iron.
"I see."
Gu Bei patted Lao Lu's shoulder, signaling him to feel at ease, and then slowly walked towards the lobby.
In the lobby, the deacon of the Gu family and the deacon of the Hou family looked at Gu Bei, they wanted to see how the six princes had changed this year.
In the past, Gu Bei looked like he had been hollowed out by wine, and he didn't walk properly.
But now, Gu Bei's posture is upright, he is full of energy, and his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes from before, and the bearing of the superior has also been shown in him.
Ye Wei behind Gu Bei was even more fierce and abnormal, just by looking at the salt, he knew that this person was not easy to mess with.
Li Qingling looks relatively harmless, but he has an extraordinary temperament, and he should be the legendary alchemist.
The deacon of the Gu family and the deacon of the Hou family exchanged glances vaguely, and both of them put away their contemptuous thoughts.
Gu Bei didn't care about them, walked to the main seat in the lobby and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all.
Ye Wei and Li Qingling stood beside them, neither of them spoke, nor did they take the people of the Gu family and the Hou family in their eyes.
Gu Bei drank tea unhurriedly, and he didn't even look at the people of the Hou family and the Gu family, as if they didn't exist.
The atmosphere in the living room gradually became depressing, and the deacons of the Gu family and the Hou family looked at each other, their brows furrowed slightly.
In this case, the person who speaks first is a little weaker.
But it's useless to be so deadlocked, this is the City Lord's Mansion, they are outsiders after all, and the longer the stalemate lasts, the more embarrassing it becomes.
The deacon of the Gu family coughed lightly and said, "His Royal Highness the prince ......"
"Get on your knees!"
Gu Bei held up the teacup and interrupted him lightly.
The deacon of the Gu family was stunned, and then his face became very exciting.
He has been in business for so many years, relying on the background of the second prince, except for a few big people, who else dares to let him kneel?
However, in front of Gu Bei, with his identity, he really had to kneel.
The deacon of the Hou family also spoke: "Your Royal Highness, we are here this time ......."
"You get down on your knees too!"
Gu Bei's words were neither salty nor light, but the deacon of the Hou family's face turned green, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Gu Bei pointed to the people of the Hou family and the Gu family, and said: "And you, all of them kneel down for this prince, who gave you the courage to see that this prince does not kneel?" ”
The faces of the Gu family and the Hou family were blue and white for a while, but no one was the first to kneel.
"Don't want to kneel?"
Gu Bei turned his head and said: "Ye Wei, whoever doesn't kneel, you will smash his head with a hammer, I am the prince of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, this is my fiefdom, they see me and don't worship, even if they kill them, they will kill them in vain." ”
"Okay!"
Ye Wei was not as forward-looking as others, she carried a pair of bronze war hammers the size of a basin, walked behind the deacon of the Gu family, and raised a war hammer with a sneer.
The deacon of the Gu family looked back and saw such a big bronze war hammer, and his face turned white as soon as he "brushed", if this was smashed down, wouldn't his head be smashed into flesh?
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and under this threat, he couldn't care about anything, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a pop.
He knew very well that what Gu Bei said was right, they saw that the prince did not worship, and it was for nothing to kill him.
Ye Wei walked behind the Hou family deacon with a bronze war hammer and aimed at the back of his head.
"Poof!"
The deacon of the Hou family also knelt down, who would dare to joke with his own life?
The two leaders all knelt, and the others didn't need Ye Wei to threaten one by one, they knelt on the ground one after another, kneeling a lot.
The deacon of the Gu family lowered his head and said weakly: "See His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”
The others also shouted, "See His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”
Gu Bei didn't raise his eyelids, nor did he call them up, and said directly: "You businessmen, if you don't do business, what is the matter with this prince?" ”
The deacon of the Gu family endured his anger, and said again about exchanging demon beasts and demon beasts for salt and iron, and his tone was many times softer than when facing Lao Lu, and he tried to describe it in a way that was beneficial to both parties.
Gu Beidao: "This matter was instructed by the second prince and the third prince to do it?" ”
"No, absolutely not!"
The deacon of the Gu family and the deacon of the Hou family were frightened by Gu Bei's words, and they borrowed ten of their courage, and they did not dare to lie about this matter, and pulled the banner of the second prince and the third prince.
In fact, the second prince and the third prince did not take an unfavored, foundationless, and powerless sixth prince in their eyes at all, let alone bother to suppress him.
The matter of exchanging demonic beasts and demon beasts for salt and iron is what the deacon of the Gu family and the deacon of the Hou family mean, they just want to make a lot of money, but they didn't expect that Gu Bei has changed so much, and stealing chickens will not make rice.
"Since it's not, how to trade before, how to trade now, dare to play tricks, hehe......"
Gu Bei sneered, although he didn't say it, the people of the Gu family and the Hou family were scared into a cold sweat.
In the final analysis, they are just two dogs raised by the second and third princes, and when the six princes were cowardly and hopeless in the past, they could bark at the six princes a few times.
But now in the face of the now strong Gu Bei, they suddenly found that they were not even qualified to bark.
The people of the Gu family and the Hou family left the City Lord's Mansion in embarrassment, and they didn't dare to mention any more demonic beasts and demon beasts for salt and iron, and after a hurried transaction, they immediately left Thorn City.
However, this time Gu Bei seemed to win, but in fact, there was also a hidden danger, after all, the Gu family and the Hou family controlled the salt and iron business, if they didn't come to Thorn City to trade next time, Thorn City would face a situation where there was no salt to compare and no iron to use.
Gu Bei naturally thought of this consequence, but he believed that there was always a solution to the matter.
