"Here we are. ”

In front of the big tent that Hu Wei said before, Jin Qiangdong stopped. Hu Wei guessed correctly, this largest tent was the patriarch Jin Kaiyuan's. Someone once proposed to Jin Kaiyuan that he would also build a stone house like the Dragon Clan, which was in line with the identity of the Elephant Clan's first strong clan in the Horn of Heaven. There are even people who want to build a city.

However, all these suggestions were rejected by Jin Kaiyuan. With just one sentence, he suppressed all the voices in this regard, and he said: We are all grassland people, and grassland people are born to live in tents.

"It's very generous, these are all sheepskins. Hu Wei actually studied the materials for the tent. The materials used by the steppe people to make tents are different from those of the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, more cloth is used, and some leather are used, but there are very few, because the cost of leather is too high, and tents are consumables, and not many people will use enough money to build a house to make tents, even if it is leather.

But at the Corner of Heaven it's different. Here, cloth is more expensive than leather. There is basically no handicraft industry in the corner of the sky, and there are a lot of cattle and sheep, and their skins are used to make tents, which are not only waterproof and windproof, but also very durable. The tent is the home of the prairie people, and who doesn't want to make their skin better.

In fact, the best thing to make a tent is not sheepskin, but cowhide. However, the cowhide is relatively heavy, and it is more difficult to make such a large tent. So as soon as Hu Wei opened his mouth, he guessed that it was sheepskin, and the sheepskin was relatively much better.

"Yes. Jin Qiangdong only replied to Hu Wei with one word, and then said to Hu Wei: "I'll go in and report it, you wait here for a while." You are a smart person, I advise you to be honest, it will be good for everyone. ”

"Don't worry, I won't run. Hu Wei swept over the eight guards intentionally or unintentionally, with them there, Hu Wei really couldn't run.

Jin Qiangdong came out after a while after entering. He brought Hu Wei into the tent. The space inside the tent is bigger than it looks from the outside, and there is good lighting. Far from giving people a dim feeling, it is eye-catching.

Hu Wei has lived in a lot of tents, and it is the first time he has seen such a large and good tent. But his attention was not on the tent, but on the big man sitting behind the desk.

That big man is indeed a big man, although the table has covered half of his body, but the exposed upper body still gives people a mountain-like feeling. He was wearing leather armor, which looked a little older, giving it an antique feel.

This is still a simple person.

"Patriarch. The young marshal is here. Jin Qiangdong saluted the big man very respectfully.

"Well, you go down first. Jin Kaiyuan said without moving.

"Yes. Jin Qiangdong didn't even look at Hu Wei, and turned around and went out.

There was no one else in the tent except Jin Kaiyuan. With Jin Kaiyuan's force, he saw that he didn't need the protection of others.

"Are you Hu Wei?" Jin Kaiyuan did not call Hu Wei 'young marshal', but directly called Hu Wei's name.

"What do you think?" asked Hu Wei with a smile on his face. When he didn't see Jin Kaiyuan, he had a lot of imagination in his heart, but after seeing the real person, it was just like that. One nose and two eyes, nothing more than others, and nothing less than others.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little cold. Jin Kaiyuan only asked one sentence and didn't speak again, but looked at Hu Wei coldly with his eyes.

Hu Wei only replied with one sentence, and stood there casually. His gaze was also very casual to look at Jin Kaiyuan's body.

And just like that, a full five minutes passed. Jin Kaiyuan broke the silence again.

"I have long heard that Hu Wei is a character, but today, it is indeed a character. Very good, please be seated. Jin Kaiyuan waved his hand. A solid wood chair slid down his hand to Hu Wei's side.

This hand is very beautiful.

You must know that the solid wood chair is almost the size of a sofa, and the weight is not less than 100 catties, with the strength of Jin Kaiyuan. It wasn't too difficult to smash him at Hu Wei, but it was a lot of hard work to get it to glide five or six meters away from the grass.

Hu Wei can't do this by asking himself.

"Thank you. Hu Wei is not polite at all. I sat on a chair, and I was tired of standing, especially with so many chains on my body.

"Tea or mare's milk?" Jin Kaiyuan's face finally showed a smile.

"Tea, I'm not used to mare's milk. "Hu Wei is as casual as going to a friend's house.

"Let's make tea, but my tea here isn't very good. Jin Kaiyuan said with a smile.

"I'm not picky. ”

Jin Kaiyuan gave Hu Wei tea, and he drank mare's milk. Mare's milk is also a unique item of the grassland, and it is not without horses in other places, but it is not possible to make good mare's milk wine.

Yes, mare's milk is not a simple mare's milk, it is actually a kind of wine, a very light wine, drinking it can warm the body, it is very practical in the extremely cold place of the corner of the sky, adults and children like it.

Hu Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Jin Kaiyuan is not modest, his tea is indeed not very good. Tianzhijiao is not a place where tea is produced, Hu Wei doesn't know where Jin Kaiyuan got tea, in short, this is the most difficult tea Hu Wei has ever drunk.

Whether it's wine or tea, that's not the point.

Jin Kaiyuan played with the wine bag in his hand and said, "We should be able to be friends, right?"

This was said a little clueless, Hu Wei looked at Jin Kaiyuan strangely, and asked, "Patriarch, what are you talking about, I don't really understand." ”

Jin Kaiyuan smiled and said, "I basically know everything I should know about you." You are a capable person, I hope you can come and help me. I believe you should know in your heart that what my elephant clan can give you is definitely far more than what the dragon clan can give you. ”

This time, Hu Wei understands it.

Hu Wei knew about the seventh squad, and Jin Kaiyuan must have guessed it. Hu Wei has the ability to help the entire seventh squad advance, and he can do the same in the Dragon Clan.

"Are you convinced?" asked Hu Wei. Although he didn't expect Jin Kaiyuan to say such a thing, it didn't scare him out of it.

"I'm sure. Jin Kaiyuan said with affirmation.

"Good. Hu Wei nodded briskly.

"So you said yes. Jin Kaiyuan asked.

"Yes, but I have one condition. Hu Wei said slowly. If you don't agree, you can't do it, there is an old saying: what I can't get, others can't even think of.

Jin Kaiyuan is definitely that kind of person, regardless of whether Jin Guanyuan's disappearance has anything to do with Hu Wei or not. Only based on Hu Wei's achievements in the seventh squad, Jin Kaiyuan would not let Hu Wei go so lightly.

Hu Wei's request for Jin Kaiyuan to open made Jin Kaiyuan a little unexpected. Hu Wei's request was to have an assistant, and this assistant was the old man in the prison.

Jin Kaiyuan did not immediately agree to Hu Wei. He sat behind a huge desk, as if thinking about something.

Hu Wei did not urge Jin Kaiyuan. He waited less quietly.

"Okay. Jin Kaiyuan finally agreed to Hu Wei's request. He didn't ask why Hu Wei had to be that old man, nor did he tell him why the old man was locked up, let alone who the old man was. He simply agreed.

"So be it. This thing can be taken off, I'm not very used to this thing. Hu Wei shook the shackles on his hands. Since he has promised to help Jin Kaiyuan do things, then they can be regarded as a gang and make such a request. Not too much at all.

The shackles were opened by Jin Qiangdong for Hu Wei. In the process, he glanced at Hu Wei more than once. Until Hu Wei turned to leave, his eyes were still on Hu Wei's body.

"Patriarch, why did you just let him go?" Jin Qiangdong also knew that he was not qualified to ask Jin Kaiyuan about the principle of how to deal with things in his own capacity. But he couldn't help it. In his eyes, Hu Wei is an extremely dangerous character, just let him go like this, and he will regret it in the future.

"He is a talent, and if he can be used by us, he can at least save 20 years of struggle. This is Jin Kaiyuan's evaluation of Hu Wei.

"But the matter of the second master is ......," Jin Qiangdong reminded Jin Kaiyuan. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Jin Guanyuan was killed by Hu Wei. But Hu Wei is very suspicious. Almost waiting to be the murderer.

"I'll take care of this, you go down first. Jin Kaiyuan waved his hand, obviously not wanting to discuss this issue. He is the patriarch and has absolute authority in the family. Catching Hu Wei or Hu Hu is a matter of his words, and he doesn't need to explain it to anyone.

"Yes. Jin Qiangdong wanted to say something, but he saw Jin Kaiyuan's attitude. He retracted the words that were almost on his lips.

Jin Qiangdong didn't understand why Jin Kaiyuan did that until he withdrew from Jin Kaiyuan's big account. Jin Kaiyuan knows about the seventh squad. He didn't know, but even if he knew, he couldn't believe that Hu Wei would really help the elephant clan.

Jin Kaiyuan was the opposite, because he had already obtained a lot of information about Hu Wei in advance, and even knew a lot about Hu Wei's cousin in the Central Plains. In his opinion, Hu Wei is a hero, and as a qualified hero, Hu Wei should know how to choose.

When Hu Wei left the prison, his hands and feet were handcuffed, and there were nine strongmen watching him. Not long after I went out, I completely changed, not only was there no shackles, but I also looked proud.

"Hey, I'm still asleep. Hu Wei waved away the soldier who had led him and came to the old man's haystack.

The old man seemed reluctant to see outsiders, except for Hu Wei, when a second person was present, he would bury himself in the grass.

"Coming back so soon. "The old man came out of the grass like some big worm.

"It's back, it's fine. Do you want to leave here and see the outside world?" said Hu Wei with a smile on his face. Jin Kaiyuan actually invited him to join the gang, such a thing, I'm afraid that even if he says it, not many people will believe it.

"What do you mean by that?" the old man also lived a handful of years, but unfortunately there were some things he had encountered, and some things he had really never heard of, and the whole thing was like listening to a book from heaven.

"Here's the thing. "Hu Wei told the old man about meeting Jin Kaiyuan in 1510.

The old man was silent after listening to Hu Wei's words, and he didn't give Hu Wei an answer for a long time.

Hu Wei sighed: "I know that you are a person with a story, and the outside world is not very beautiful for you. But even if it's not good, it's better than you staying here. Listen to me. Whatever it is, get out of here first. ”

"Okay. The old man finally nodded. Although this thing is very weird, but as Hu Wei said, no matter what, leaving here is a picture of the future.

"Let's go, let's drink. ”

Hu Wei waved his hand and said goodbye to this cell where he had lived for a day, and even how long the old man had lived here, he didn't know.

"I really didn't expect that. I still have a chance to come out alive. Breathing in a different air than in the prison, the old man said with emotion.

"There are always opportunities, it just depends on whether you can grasp them. Hu said solemnly. This will no longer be a prison, there are some things that can be said in the prison, but they cannot be said nonsense outside.

The old man seemed to think of something, and nodded silently. Hu Wei has not asked him why he was locked up, and he has no intention of explaining to Hu Wei for the time being.

Jin Qiangdong did not come this time, and it was a soldier in his twenties who led the way for Hu Wei and the others. He led Hu Wei and the two to a large tent and said respectfully, "This is the residence that the patriarch ordered to arrange for the two of them. ”

This tent is smaller than Jin Kaiyuan's. But it's not much smaller. It is almost exactly the same material and layout as Jin Kaiyuan's roof, and it can be seen from this direction that Jin Kaiyuan still attaches great importance to Hu Wei.

There will be no books on the large desk in the middle of the tent. There is no Wen Jiàn, but a large table of wine and food. Jin Kaiyuan seemed to have guessed early in the morning that Hu Wei and the two wanted to have a good drink, and they had already prepared it for them.

"Shall we have some?" asked the old man.

The old man was quite excited to see the roast chicken and wine that Hu Wei took out yesterday, but it would be too quiet. It seems that yesterday those were the sake and food. Today, the big table is all drawn, and you can see it but not eat it.

"Hmm. The old man strode over, picked up the jar and poured a few sips. I could see that he was pressed on his mind. If you can't say it, then you can only use wine.

Hu Wei took the wine jar thrown by the old man, and poured a few sips, as the old saying goes, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow's things, tomorrow's will think about it tomorrow.

At dawn, the two drunken people opened their eyes at the same time.

Someone's coming.

"Come in. ”

When Jin Qiangdong was about to call the door, Hu Wei's voice sounded first.

I drank a little too much, but it was still okay to control the body. Before, Hu Wei still used the old man's method to sleep, there was no haystack here, but this was in a tent, no longer an open-air prison, the weather was not so cold, and the snow no longer smashed in, and he slept very comfortably.

Jin Qiangdong had already smelled the strong smell of wine before he entered the tent, and secretly wondered how much water the two of them had drunk.

But when he saw Hu Wei and the old man, he overturned the speculation in his heart. These two eyes are clear, their faces are ruddy and energetic, and they don't look like hangovers no matter how they look.

Did they not drink wine, but bathed with it?

"Is there something going on this early in the morning?" asked Hu Wei. The old man didn't hide and didn't see anyone, but he obviously didn't mean to speak.

"The eighth squad has been assembled. Jin Qiangdong said to Hu Wei. His eyes only looked at Hu Wei, and the old man, he only glanced at it, and then ignored it.

The eighth squad is a temporary force that Jin Kaiyuan made up last night. The members of the troop are all spiritual figures of the elephant clan. Although they have not yet advanced to mages, they already have a certain status in the elephant clan.

"Oh. Hu Wei smiled: "The efficiency is really high, it seems that we can't be lazy today." ”

Led by Jin Qiangdong, Hu Wei saw the members of the eighth squad.

Jin Kaiyuan formed this eighth squad completely according to the seventh squad of the dragon clan. In terms of numbers, it is almost the same as the seventh squad of the dragon clan. It's just that the people aren't the dragons.

"How does it look?" Hu Wei asked Jin Qiangdong to leave first in the name of training, and then turned his head and asked the old man.

"Do you really want to teach them?" the old man did not answer Hu Wei's words, but asked another question.

Hu Wei smiled and said, "Let's take a look first." You're my assistant now, but if you don't, I'm not going to teach them anything on your behalf. You just have to watch from the sidelines, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

Regardless of whether Hu Wei is sincere or not, Hu Wei wants to use the elephant clan to confirm some of his thoughts. The advancement of the seventh squad can almost be said to be entirely dependent on Hu Wei's blood, and Hu Wei is guided by blood, and the seventh squad is promoted one by one.

Hu Wei's blood is pure dragon blood, this is what the old patriarch said. What Hu Wei wanted to know was whether pure dragon blood was useful to other non-dragon people. Now that Jin Kaiyuan gave Hu Wei a chance to confirm it with his white hands, Hu Wei naturally didn't have to use it in vain.

"You're playing with fire. The old man sighed. Seeing Hu Wei now, he remembered his former self. At that time, he used to be so young, and decades have passed, and the young man has become an old man.

Hu Wei smiled and said, "I know, but I know that I have the ability to play with this fire." How about it, why don't you have some fun at once? ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Let's play with it, I want to be quiet." It's okay, it's better not to bother me. ”

"Okay, listen to you. (To be continued......)
