Chapter Seventy-Six: The Offering of Huangyun City

Huangyun City is located in the south of Xiuluo Mountains more than 300 miles of Nanxiu grassland, this vast grassland because of the Xiuluo Mountains to block the cold wind in the north, and the Xiuluo River where the mountains and springs in the Xiuluo Mountains converge, so the climate is warm, the water and grass are extremely abundant, and it is the most suitable grassland for grazing within a radius of thousands of miles. The Yellow Cloud City, which was established on this grassland www.biquge.info is also the core of all the nomadic tribes within a radius of thousands of miles. Every two years, the tribes belonging to Huangyun City will gather in Huangyun City to avoid the cold winter and surrender their offerings to Huangyun City and the Thousand Cow Temple.

About fifty miles away from Huangyun City, next to a small lake called Crescent Lake, the people of the Shiniu tribe were busy setting up camp. In order to provide enough water for the tribes who came to Huangyun City, the monks of the Thousand Cow Temple used spells to dig hundreds of large and small lakes in the Nanxiu grassland, and connected the groundwater tables of these lakes. In fact, the vast grasslands around Huangyun City have been transformed by monks, and the grasslands and water sources are extremely abundant, otherwise even if the natural conditions of the Nanxiu grassland are good, it will be difficult to withstand the large gathering of millions of people and tens of millions of livestock every two years.

In the central tent that had been built, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow brocade robe and embroidered with yellow auspicious clouds on his clothes sat in the top position, and Elder Mo Feng, Elder Mu Shang and Mo Hua sat at the bottom place, waiting for Huang Pingshan, the envoy of Huangyun City, with a respectful face.

"Senior Brother Qi is actually not here?" After glancing at Mo Feng and the three of them proudly, Huang Pingshan asked lightly. Although it is only a congenital fifth-level cultivation, because he was born in the Huangyun tribe and has a false name in the Thousand Cow Temple, Huang Pingshan has a sense of superiority in front of the masters of various tribes, except for retaining some respect for the monks who belong to the Thousand Cow Temple, no one else pays much attention to it. At this time, as an envoy who can largely determine the situation of the Shiniu tribe in the next two years, his attitude is naturally more unruly.

"Elder Qi left the clan more than three months ago and has not returned. Also missing was Chief Mo Huai. After Mu Shang and the three of them glanced at each other, it was finally Mu Shang who spoke. In Mo Huai, Qi Yunxiao and the two were secretly interrogated by Yunlan Zhenren and the two, and after they were taken away, the Shiniu tribe, who did not know where the two were going, fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless. In the end, in order to maintain the stability of the clan, Mu Shang, Mo Feng, and Mo Hua, three representatives who were each supported by a force, came forward and reached a preliminary compromise, and the tribal affairs were resolved by the three of them, waiting for Huang Yuncheng to select a new guardian monk and appoint a new chief.

"Well, the chief and the guardian monk disappeared at the same time? Huang Pingshan was slightly stunned, and then said with a frown. Within the various clans, it was common for chiefs and guardian elders to compete for power, so there were many cases of private fighting. For this kind of thing, the Thousand Cow Temple will not be overly observed, after all, the temple does not have so much energy to manage these mundane things. However, it is also a routine procedure to knock the winner, after all, the Thousand Cow Temple does not want to have a large clan that is too strong and too out of control. And this kind of knocking is a good opportunity for the people in charge of such things. So Huang Pingshan immediately put on a posture to be tracked, wanting to reap the benefits.

"The envoy misunderstood, the relationship between my father and Elder Qi has always been good, and when my brother Mo Yu entered the temple, it was also a recommendation given by Elder Qi. The two could not have fought each other to the death. Mo Hua hurriedly explained. After this period of experience, Mo Hua has also matured a lot, and directly moved his brother Mo Yu out. After all, once the temple investigated this matter in detail, it could endanger Mo Hua's position. For Mo Hua, who has already broken through the innate with the help of Po Fan Dan and wants to take over, it is better not to investigate this matter.

"Hehe, what does this mean? Something happened to the chief and the guardian elder, and the temple must be investigated. Hearing Mo Yu's name, Huang Pingshan's face changed slightly, and his attitude loosened a little, but he still bit the matter. Someone on the other side is in the Thousand Cow Temple, which means that the other party also has a channel for appeal, and he can't knock on the big bamboo pole, but Huang Pingshan will not let go of this kind of opportunity.

"The temple should inquire about this matter, after all, only after the temple confirms this matter, can it send a new guardian elder to the tribe and appoint a new chief, and our clan is also looking forward to the temple making a decision as soon as possible." Of course, we are grateful that the messenger can say a few kind words for the tribe. Mu Shang glanced at Mo Hua, stepped forward, put a box in front of Huang Pingshan, and said with a smile. For Mu Shang, the temple coming to investigate this matter will not have any impact on him, and the only one who will really be hit is Mo Hua, the son of the chief, and Mu Shang will have the opportunity to get the position of chief because of this.

"Hehe, Elder Mu Shang can speak, does Elder Mo Feng have anything to say?" Opening the box and looking at the elixir in the box, Huang Pingshan showed a smile on his face, and his eyes fell on Mo Feng, who had been silent. Although the chief and the guardian elder disappeared at the same time, and there was no one for Huang Pingshan to extort money, the three of them competed for the position of chief, and they could still give Huang Pingshan a chance to reap the benefits. And among these three, Mo Hua is young and vigorous, relying on Mo Huai's prestige and his brother Mo Yu, he is not ready to compromise, Mu Shang has already expressed his position, and Mo Feng is left.

The envoy truthfully reported this matter to the temple, and Mo Feng was grateful. Mo Feng frowned and said helplessly. Although he knew that Huang Pingshan was asking for a bribe, although Mo Feng was very popular in the clan, he didn't have much savings and couldn't get any decent gifts. And Mo Feng was also a little disgusted by this kind of bribing the messenger, so he didn't say anything in the end.

"Hmph, in that case, I will report this matter truthfully. Next, let's talk about the things that your clan worships, are the things ready?" Seeing that Mo Feng refused to speak, Huang Pingshan snorted coldly and asked. Although he was not very satisfied with only getting a gift, Huang Pingshan had no reason to continue to ask for it, so he directly shifted the topic to the business he wanted to do. Checking the offerings of the tribes is the real job of the messenger, and it is also the greatest work of oil and water.

"The spiritual objects in the tribe are basically in the hands of Elder Qi and the chief, and when the two of them are gone, these spiritual objects have also disappeared. And without the help of the Beast Exorcism Array, this time there was not much harvest in the Xiuluo Mountains, so the spiritual objects were only half of those of previous years, and I am afraid it would be difficult to meet the requirements of the temple. Mu Shang and the three of them showed embarrassed expressions at the same time, and finally Mo Feng replied. In the past year, the Shiniu tribe can be said to have suffered many disasters, first encountered the awakening of the rare demon clan, lost a large number of manpower, and then Mo Huai and Qi Yunxiao disappeared, taking away many tribes and many treasures. And when he passed through the Xiuluo Mountains again, because there was no beast exorcism array, most of the forces had to guard the tribe, and there were not many elixirs. At this time, the public property of the clan was simply not enough to pay for the worship of the temple.

"Oh, then what are you going to do? Is it to make up the property, or to replace it with someone?" Huang Pingshan smiled coldly and asked lightly. Tribes that could not pay enough for the spiritual offerings either surrendered large quantities of livestock and goods, or selected a group of excellent samurai to serve as miscellaneous soldiers of the temple, or were sent to the front line of the battlefield. Whatever it is, it's a major blow to a clan. Giving money and goods is enough to bring the tribe close to bankruptcy, and if you hand over people, most of the samurai who serve in the military in this case are sent to the front line of the battlefield as cannon fodder, and the survival rate is pitifully low, and the tribe will also lose a lot of labor and force.

"Can the envoy give us a period of grace so that we can exchange some spiritual objects in Huangyun City to fill this vacancy?" Mo Feng said stiffly. In fact, in the hands of the Mu family and the Mo family, there are some stocks that can help the tribe tide over this difficulty, but Mu Shang and Mo Hua are both unwilling to hand over this batch of property, and are only willing to let the warriors in the tribe serve in the military and replace the offerings. Mo Feng didn't want the warriors in the clan to suffer heavy losses, so he took over the topic head-on. If it was just for himself, Mo Feng wouldn't have paid attention to this matter at all.

"The rules of the temple are not something that can be changed. Huang Pingshan tapped Mu Shang's gift box with his fingers and said lightly. Originally, the inspection of the offerings was a fat difference, and the tribes that encountered the lack of offerings had more room to operate, and Huang Pingshan would naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

Looking at Huang Pingshan's posture, Mo Feng frowned, and when he turned his eyes to look at Mu Shang and the others, they turned their heads at the same time. For Mu Shang and the others, competing for the position of chief is the really important thing, and if there are spiritual objects, they must also keep some important people, and it is impossible to use these things to pay for the tribe. Anyway, even if some samurai are needed to serve, they will not choose the people of the two families, and the unlucky ones are ordinary samurai.

"What must the messenger do to be forgive him for a while? In desperation, Mo Feng gritted his teeth and asked.

"Hehe, Elder Mo Feng is really tough! You take out fifty spirit stones, and kowtow to me to apologize, and I will give you half a month. Otherwise, you must hand over your offerings within three days. If you can't hand it over, you should know what the consequences will be. Seeing that Mo Feng still refused to give in, Huang Pingshan said coldly.

"You!" Elder Mo Feng stretched out his hand and pointed at Huang Pingshan, but finally did not scold. Although Huang Pingshan's strength is not high, the temple he represents is not something that Mo Feng can compete with.

"Elder Mo Feng, this matter is up to you. Insist on paying for the offerings, or select the samurai according to the previous consultation. If you don't bow your head, I think it's better to start sifting through the samurai. Mo Hua and Mu Shang glanced at each other and said coldly.

"I... I apologize to the messenger and ask him for a few days. Mo Feng's face changed for a long time, and finally said helplessly, after speaking, Mo Feng was ready to kneel. According to the current situation, the tribe wants to select hundreds of warriors to resist and worship, and without these people, the strength of the tribe will be greatly affected, and Mo Feng does not want these ordinary herdsmen to become cannon fodder on the battlefield. For the sake of these people, Mo Feng finally decided to give up his dignity.

"Elder Mo Feng doesn't have to be like this. Without waiting for Elder Mo Feng to kneel down, Mo En, who was dressed in tattered leather clothes, suddenly appeared in the tent and supported Mo Feng.

"Morn!" Seeing Morn suddenly appear, the three of Mushan exclaimed at the same time. However, Mo Feng was surprised, Mu Shang was surprised, and Mo Hua's face was frightened.

"Boy, what do you mean?" Huang Pingshan slapped the table and asked angrily. When the benefits were about to arrive, Mo En, who was called like a flower child, inserted a lever horizontally, and Huang Pingshan was naturally full of anger.

"It's not interesting, the tribal offerings will be handed over on time, so please return the messenger. Mo En's eyes widened, and his divine thoughts pressed on Huang Pingshan's body, directly pressing Huang Pingshan down on the chair.

"Okay, I'll come back in three days and see what you can come up with?" Huang Pingshan was shocked, he didn't dare to have a hard top with Mo En, put down a cruel word, and went directly out of the tent.
