Chapter 21 Collection of Taxes
"For a water rhino king, to your son-in-law, it is not worth mentioning. Li Qianxun hahadaxiao, his eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked radiant, but he was idle and had a somewhat evil feeling.
Qiu Xiang looked at Li Qianxun's strange expression, her heart was also bulging, her little face suddenly turned red, and her mouth was also exclaimed: "Childe, you killed the demon beast?"
"Yes. Li Qianxun nodded.
"Wow, demon beast, Childe killed the demon beast. Qiu Xiang was suddenly excited, and with tears on her face, she was already full of smiles: "Childe, you are only eleven years old, and you are stupid demon beasts, this ......" As a personal maid, the center of Qiu Xiang's life is Li Qianxun, and she has always revolved around Li Qianxun, Li Qianxun is his most important relative in this world, Li Qianxun can kill demon beasts, Qiu Xiang is naturally excited from the heart.
Li Qianxun hurriedly covered Qiu Xiang's small mouth and lowered his voice: "Don't spread the word." ”
"Uh-huh. Qiu Xiang nodded suddenly, and her little face turned even redder.
"Let's go, go to this Hammerstone tribe. Li Qianxun said, in the past few days, Li Qianxun reflected on his previous two battles in the mountains and forests, in the battle he found some of his shortcomings, after careful repetition, and carefully studied his two sets of swordsmanship again, and consciously improved a lot.
Li Qianxun walked with Qiuxiang to the main gate of the Hammerstone Tribe.
Uncle Sa and a group of tribal men were taking the initiative to greet them, and the one who walked in front was a bald white-haired old man, who walked over and hurriedly bowed his body to show respect: "I am the hammer of the Hammerstone tribe, thank you for saving me several times from the great son, and all the clansmen of my Hammerstone tribe are extremely grateful to you...... I have been looking forward to your arrival. ”
Li Qianxun smiled and nodded: "I will temporarily live in your Hammerstone Tribe for a while, as for saving it, it is just a matter of convenience." And also. I don't want to be bothered. ”
"Yes. Understand. The balding white-haired old man nodded one after another.
"Sa. Li Qianxun looked over.
Uncle Sa, who was like a black bear in Gundam, hurriedly stepped forward and looked very excited: "Childe, I ...... when I see you coming back."
"Alright. Li Qianxun smiled: "You have helped me in Shenze for more than a month, I said that I will thank you again after returning to the Hammerstone Tribe, take it." As he spoke, more than 30 pieces of boxing gold appeared in his hand, all of which were in full condition. This big black Uncle Sa was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
followed him and hurriedly caught it, and the other clansmen next to him were very envious.
"Let's go. Li Qianxun glanced at Mo and Qiu Xiang, and randomly walked directly towards the Hammerstone Tribe.
Li Qianxun can give more valuable thank-you gifts, but the Hammerstone tribe is a small tribe that barely reaches a thousand people, and too precious items are a disaster!
Within the Hammerstone Tribe.
"Childe. Qiu Xiang poured wine and served fruit and delicacies to Li Qianxun: "Mo and I have been in this tribe for more than a month, and not long after we came here, we got in touch with our Li family. ”
"Hmm. Li Qianxun nodded.
When he was out on his own, he would contact the Li Clan's Southern Sect City through the Li Clan's scattered garrisons in various places every month.
"There is also a letter to Childe from Nanzong City. Akika took out a scroll from her bosom.
Li Qianxun took it and unfolded the yellow leather scroll. When I saw it, I couldn't help but smile, this was a letter my mother had written to herself! Mainly some words of concern, but the mother's nagging made the bizarre Anu who had just tried her best to fight to the death think that your heart was very warm.
"Okay, Qiu Xiang, I see that you haven't had a good rest for many days, you go and rest. Li Qianxun said.
"I'm not sleepy. Qiu Xiang hurriedly said.
"Go ahead, good. Li Qianxun rarely said this.
Qiu Xiang's little face was red to the bottom of her ears, and she lowered her head and obediently went to her residence to rest.
Li Qianxun smiled evilly, took out a clean animal skin, and wrote a reply letter to his mother in his own handwriting.
......
Time passed, ten days and a half months to go to Shenze, most of the time was in the hammer stone tribe to learn swordsmanship, in the blink of an eye more than a month passed.
"Tsk. Li Qianxun sat on the roof, holding a bamboo cup in his hand, and the cup contained the wine on this shijie: "Although Nanzong City is big, it is not as warm as this small tribe." ”
The sun sets, and the sun rises.
The Hammerstone tribe is very united within itself, helping each other like brothers.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”
"Go back. ”
"Quick, put it all away. ”
Suddenly, the originally peaceful and quiet tribe suddenly became noisy and chaotic, which made Li Qianxun, who was drinking on the roof, couldn't help but jump off the roof and directly grabbed the young man running by: "You, why are you running so fast?"
"Childe. The young man saw that it was Li Qianxun who grabbed him, and hurriedly responded respectfully: "It's someone from the Black Mountain tribe who is here!"
"Black Iron Tribe?"
"Yes, Childe. The young man said anxiously: "The people of the Black Iron Tribe have come to our tribe to collect the furs, and some of the haode furs in the tribe should be hidden more, otherwise they will be discovered by the people of the Black Iron Tribe and taken away." Childe, I have to hurry back to ......."
Li Qianxun nodded thoughtfully: "Hurry up." ”
Qiu Xiang also looked at these in front of the house, and said: "The Black Iron Tribe is a super large tribe, with tens of thousands of tribesmen, like some small tribes, they have to hand over some furs and grain to them every year. ”
"Hmph!" Li Qianxun frowned: "This land is my Li clan's territory! Only my Li clan can collect taxes, this black iron tribe lets the surrounding small tribes hand over goods and grain, isn't this equivalent to taxation?"
The Lee clan taxed every tribe in their territory.
At the same time, the Li family is a courtier of the Gucheng Dynasty, and most of the taxes collected must be paid to the Gucheng Dynasty!
"That's what I said. Qiu Xiang shook her head: "Do these small tribes dare not give it? Once they don't give it, the Black Iron Tribe can completely defeat a small tribe and capture it as a prisoner and a slave trader." ”
Li Qianxun sighed.
Be.
Because there are too many tribes, it is impossible to control the fight between the tribes, and the Li clan can only indulge. It's not just Lee's ...... Even the countless territories under the control of the ancient city dynasty can only be managed freely. The Lee clan and Fahrenheit are different from each other, they are like mortal enemies?
"It's coming. Qiu Xiang said: "The people of the Black Iron Tribe are here. ”
Li Qianxun also saw that in the distance, a group of black-armored soldiers wearing half-length armor were showing off their might under the leadership of a man in animal skin, as if they were patrolling their territory. And the leader of the Hammerstone tribe, Uncle Sa and others accompanied them one by one, and they were so well-behaved that they didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.
The leader of the Black Iron Tribe, Sharp Shell, was scanning the dilapidated tribe with pride.
"Hmph. The pointed shell held back his eyes at the hammer stone beside him, and when he saw their frightened and flattering colors, he couldn't help but be even more satisfied.
She is a core high-level in the Black Iron Tribe, and she came to a small tribe like the Hammerstone Tribe...... You can do whatever you want! If you are angry, this kind of small tribe will probably be doomed, and the team of 100 armor soldiers led by yourself alone can sweep away this small tribe. I have absolute right to dispose of this small tribe!
"Huh?" Sharp Shell suddenly saw a young man and a girl standing not far away, and his eyes lit up. Some of the armor soldiers next to him couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw it, it was simply too beautiful.
"Nice, beautiful. Sharp Shell was instantly shocked, followed by a strong possessive desire in his heart, he must catch this beautiful girl as his personal maid, and he must pamper her every day! Evil light.
"Haha......." pointed shell daxiao, and walked directly towards the boy and girl.
Li Qianxun frowned, looking at the tall man with exquisite ornaments on his body, this tall man glanced at Li Qianxun and Qiu Xiang with a kind of high-class tribal eyes looking at the goods, especially when looking at Qiu Xiang, the greed was undisguised: "This animal skin coat is very delicate, is it made by yourself, girl?
"Presumptuous!" Qiu Xiang shouted angrily.
The pointed shell raised his chin slightly: "Presumptuous, this little Hammerstone tribe...... Let me knead it, let alone be presumptuous. To tell you the truth, I've got a crush on you. The last time I took a fancy to a girl, she was so stubborn that she would rather commit suicide than obey me, so I killed all his family members and sold them as slaves!
The tribesmen have no scheming, they are all simple, and at the same time they are also very bloody, most of them are not afraid of death, especially such a beautiful girl in front of them, she is definitely the pearl of the tribe, and she is generally very arrogant, and it is very common for her to commit suicide when she is arrogant, and the sharp shell no longer wants to see this kind of thing happen.
"Honorable Lord Sharpshell. The bald white-haired old man Iron Hammer was already frightened, and hurriedly persuaded: "These three are not from our Hammerstone tribe, but from a big tribe!"
"Big tribe?" Sharp Shell raised his eyebrows: "No wonder, I said, how can you raise such a watery girl in such a rotten place as the Hammerstone Tribe, girl, tell me, which one of you are not falling?"
Boom!
The heavy kick contained anger, and it hit the chest and heart of the pointed shell, not only shattering the pendant on his body, but also kicking the pointed shell bandit to his head.
"Presumptuous!"
"Look for death!"
"Boom!"
A group of armor soldiers of the Black Iron Tribe immediately shouted angrily, and even some armor soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths.
"It's over. The bald white-haired old man touched his head with a hammer, helpless for a while, and didn't dare to look at it again.
Sharp Shell quickly got up, wiped the school name at the corner of his mouth, and indeed stretched out his hand to stop his armor soldiers, to be able to become a core high-level in a big tribe like the Black Iron Tribe, Sharp Shell's heart is ruthless, and all the armor stomach soldiers under his command know it.
"It's over. ”
"This little girl is miserable!" (To be continued......)
