As soon as the soldier finished scolding, he saw the man pushing the cart in front of him staggering, and he did not know whether he had stepped on a stone or was frightened by his sudden loud noise.

"Smack!" The soldier flung it with a whip.

"It's itchy, isn't it? Dare to be lazy in front of Lao Tzu? If you don't get up again, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you! ”

As he spoke, he whipped again.

Mu Qi'er had already taken out the bone flute, but it was immediately held by the white owl, who shook his head at her and motioned for her to withdraw first.

The three quietly retreated again.

Mu Qi'er was heartbroken when she thought of those who were suffering, probably from her own tribe, and she wondered:

"Brother Muren, why don't you let me do it?"

Along the way, Xiao Lei listened to Mu Qi'er calling Brother Bai Xiao Muren, which was already a matter of course, and it was only the mood between newlyweds.

Bai Xiao said with a solemn expression:

"If we startle the grass and let the Beiban royal family know that we have come to the Beiban, the third prince of Chu sent by the emperor to transport grain and grass will also be in danger. It will affect the emperor's plans. ”

Their news line is very smooth now, and as long as there is a good dart game, they can get the latest news.

"Let's be patient for a few days, first grasp the time of outsiders coming to the mine and the way they will be handed over, and then make plans. Rest assured, it won't be too long. ”

In total, they visited five large tribes with severe food shortages.

Last year's drought, coupled with the joint defense of the Yunxiao Kingdom and the Dongyi Kingdom, gave the Northern Barbarian Kingdom no chance to take advantage of it, and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom experienced the most severe year in history.

Every day, people starve to death and freeze to death, and even tribal leaders have to cut back on food and clothing.

In this case, the backbone of the person has to give way to survival.

In particular, the Northern Barbarians saw that the people of Xizhao who were subdued by the Yunxiao Kingdom were not enslaved, but lived and worked in peace and contentment, which made them even more excited.

And the ruthlessness of the Northern Barbarian Emperor was the direct reason for them to have different hearts.

Four of the tribal leaders, after receiving assurances that they would not change their original lives, expressed their willingness to accept relief from the Cloud Realm.

And the only tribal leader who was unwilling to betray the Northern Barbarian Emperor was directly assassinated by him and Mu Qi'er.

In this way, Chu Wenjin and his entourage will be able to flow smoothly, and he and Mu Qi'er must be calm and not act rashly.

Mu Qi'er also understood the principle of the overall situation, so she had to endure the pain point and nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Muren."

Three days later,

Chu Wenjin and Kitano Hongming have arrived at the first big tribe of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, the Guna tribe.

They came with grain seeds, and the people of the Guna tribe naturally welcomed them warmly.

The leader of the Guna tribe stepped forward to salute.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, welcome Chu Shangshu to our Guna tribe as a guest."

Chu Wenjin also returned the gift.

"I've seen the Guna chief."

"Inside, please."

When the leader of Guna said this, his eyes were looking at Chu Wenjin, but he looked at Kitano Hongming in an instant.

Kitano Hongming was slightly unhappy, but the Guna tribe finished talking to Chu Wenjin, and then invited them into the house, and glanced at Chu Wenjin first, maybe it was just an unintentional mistake.

When he came back from a trip to the Cloud Country, he felt that his suspicions had increased, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

But after sitting down, the leader of Guna said:

"The Yunxiao Kingdom can help regardless of past suspicions this time, and our Guna tribe is grateful. I also hope that Chu Shangshu can stay here, let us entertain one or two, and express a little gratitude. ”

"Ahem."

Kitano coughed deliberately, reminding the Guna leader of his presence.

Although the words of the leader of Guna can also be said to be kind words. But shouldn't you thank him first, the prince who worked hard to borrow food?

How to be grateful for their enemy country first? Don't you know how many things Jun Lingyun pit him to borrow these grains.

The leader of Guna bowed his head to Kitano Hiromei.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has had a hard trip. I wonder when you plan to return the war horse you borrowed from our Guna tribe?

As you know, war horses are the foundation of the tribe's survival, and the years are not good, and we still count on riding horses to hunt. ”

Kitano Hongming's face darkened, he almost forgot that the twenty war horses and two hundred thousand taels of silver were borrowed by the envoy from everywhere.

It's just that he thought that it was gathered by a small tribe near the border, but he didn't expect that the envoy would run so far away.

This leader of Guna also has no eyes, how can this kind of internal matter of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom be said in front of Chu Wenjin, the minister of the Yunxiao Kingdom, and let people see the joke?

Kitano Hiromei's face is naturally pale.

"This hall is the prince of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and the leader of Guna is still afraid that this palace will not be able to repay its debts?"

"Naturally, we are not worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will repay the debt, but we hope to return it as soon as possible."

Kitano Hiromei took a sip of tea, and there was a sound of teacups thrown on the table.

"Don't worry, when the main hall returns, it will naturally send someone to send the war horse."

"That's good, thank you for your kindness."

The leader of Guna now knows the truth about the extermination of the China tribe back then, and how can he trust the people of the royal family again.

At that time, the leader of the China tribe was a brother to the emperor.

For him to sit firmly in the country and make great contributions. The result is not the end of the extinction of the race.

And the emperor can even kill his own son, how can he be soft on others?

A lesson from the past, if one day, the emperor thinks that their Guna tribe is too strong, won't he also exterminate them?

Now this grain seed was borrowed by Kitano Hongming, the crown prince, it is clearly the Yunxiao Emperor, and for the sake of the face of the second prince is his brother-in-law, he sent it through Kitano Hongming's hand.

If not, is the Emperor of the Clouds stupid? I don't know the current situation of the Northern Barbarian Country, can't organize a large-scale attack at all?

Kitano Hiromei was irritable.

In the past, the leaders of several major tribes, although they also had selfish intentions, were at least respectful on the face. Why do you always feel prickly in your words today?

Could it be that he is too careful?

"If the guards of the main hall are in misfortune, can you ask the chief of Guna how many guards to borrow? When the main hall returns to the palace, they will be allowed to come back. ”

The leader of Guna generously pointed to his circle of guards and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be so polite, you can see who is pleasing to the eye, just use it. They have it all. ”

Kitano Hiromei was relieved at this time. It seems that just now, he was indeed overhearted.

This is all to blame Jun Lingyun and his people, who squeeze him out of words all day long, making him nervous.

After greetings, Chu Wenjin looked at the fur hanging on a wall in the house, and touched it, it felt smooth and shiny, and it was a good fur.

Such good fur is rare in the Kingdom of Clouds, but it is casually decorated on the walls here.

"Guna chief, I don't know if you are willing to exchange these furs for other supplies?"

The things in his treasury that are not easy to sell, maybe the northern barbarians need them, and it would be great if they could take the things that are not in circulation and exchange them for this sought-after fur.
