"Not going?" Shangguan Fei'er asked suspiciously.
Zhou Weiqing nodded, and said: "We have encountered so many troubles in the short distance since we came out, which shows that our luck this time is indeed not very good. The main reason is that we are not strong enough, and I am too impatient. Besides, the people from Blood Red Hell There is a conflict with us, and you should let your vast palace know about it as soon as possible, so that you can deal with it. Brother Zhan, what do you think?"
Zhou Weiqing's last question fully showed his respect for Zhan Lingtian, and he was very comfortable listening to it. Through these days of contact, Zhou Weiqing's understanding of Zhan Lingtian has also improved. This guy is nothing more than a little more arrogant and has a better face, but his nature is not bad. Especially the fact that he is willing to stand up in times of crisis is enough to cover up his other flaws.
Zhan Lingtian nodded, and said: "This matter can be said to be a betrayal of the blood red prison, ignoring the dignity of my vast palace, we must send the news back as soon as possible. I agree with Weiqing's opinion, let's go back to his Peerless Camp first, Then rush back to the vast palace immediately."
Shangguan Fei'er pursed her lips a little dissatisfied and said, "I wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Paradise to play, but you guys are so boring. When you encounter some troubles, you retreat."
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "This abbreviation is really good."
Shangguan Fei'er blushed pretty, and slapped him on the shoulder, "You just narrowly escaped death, and you started talking nonsense. But, speaking of it, your luck is really not ordinary. Do you know the identity of Emperor Liujue? ?He is an old man, but he is the top Heavenly Jewel Master in the world. His seniority is a generation higher than my father and uncle, and his strength is even more unfathomable. It is said that in the level of the Heavenly Emperor, he is the most powerful old man. "
Zhou Weiqing said with a chuckle: "I don't know, but my master has already left. He will come to the Peerless Camp to find me after a while." He just mentioned it in a simple sentence. With so many people around, it's hard for him to go into too much detail.
Zhan Lingtian said: "In that case, let's go back now."
At this moment, seven or eight Xuelu people came over with various delicacies, the leader was an old man who looked about sixty or seventy years old, and respectfully saluted everyone: "Dear guests , Hello. Since you are friends of the ancestors, no matter what you say, you have to eat a meal of our Xuelu tribe's food here before leaving, otherwise, the ancestors will blame us."
Everyone was indeed a little hungry, and in the severe cold weather, looking at the steaming food, if you had no thoughts in your mind, you would be inhuman.
Except for Shangguan Fei'er, it can be said that each of them is tall and strong, especially the two big eaters, Crow and Ma Qun, whose usual appetite is equivalent to at least three people. Seeing those deer milk, scones, and barbecue, it is not easy to control the flow of saliva.
Zhou Weiqing said: "Then thank you very much, we will leave after eating." Just as he wanted to discuss with the Snow Deer Clan about buying the Snow Deer, the previous tent had been destroyed by Han Tianyou, and it was under the control of the Snow Deer Clan. Under the leadership, they entered another more luxurious tent, with soft fur under their feet, and the whole tent was warm.
The food of the Snow Deer tribe has a special flavor. Although it has a bit more smell, it has a wild aroma, which makes it very attractive to eat. Even Zhan Lingtian and Shangguan Fei'er, who had eaten a lot of delicacies, couldn't help being moved by it. Especially the sweet and delicious deer milk, which makes people's index fingers move. It tastes like a warm current spreads all over the body in an instant, and it is definitely nourishing enough.
That old man is the patriarch of the current Snow Deer Clan. Although he looks very gentle, the occasional fluctuations in his energy are not weak.
The old man was very respectful to Zhou Weiqing, obviously he already knew about Emperor Liujue accepting him as his apprentice.
"Senior, have you Snow Deer Clan lived here all this time?" Zhou Weiqing asked the old man.
The old man said with some fear: "You must not call me senior, my name is Ilhan, you can just call me by my name. In terms of seniority, you are a generation older than me. Back then, my grandfather once I have served the ancestors, if it weren't for the ancestors, I am afraid that our Xuelu clan would have been wiped out long ago."
"Oh. Then I'll just call you by your name. You can call me by my name too. My name is Zhou Weiqing." Zhou Weiqing was not overly polite. His position was very upright. Modesty is a good thing, but too modest It's just hypocrisy, especially since he has just worshiped Emperor Liujue as his teacher, so he can't weaken his teacher's name no matter what.
"The old man would be more respectful than obedient. Mr. Zhou, our Snow Deer tribe is also a nomadic people, but we only raise snow deer in captivity. Snow deer are the totem of our tribe. In fact, what we are here are only members of the whole tribe. It’s only part of it. The purpose of settling here is to make some money from humans in the past when there is no war, so as to maintain the survival of our Snow Deer Clan.”
"On the vast snowfield of thousands of beasts, our Snow Deer Clan is just a small clan with a total population of less than 10,000. It is far incomparable to the big clans of the Werewolf Clan, Tiger Clan, and Lion Clan. Moreover, after years of fighting, our The clansmen will also be deployed to participate in the war. Although there are not many casualties, our population base is too small. We are on the verge of extermination. Fortunately, the ancestors proposed to Xueshen Mountain to exempt us from the obligation to participate in the war. The great Snow God Mountain Lord personally ordered this. That’s why our Snow Deer Clan have a chance to recuperate and do some small business like this in the frontier.”
Hearing what Ilhan said, Zhou Weiqing's heart suddenly moved. From this point of view, his teacher seems to have some relationship with Xueshen Mountain, and even knows the legendary figure who is known as the most powerful man in the mainland.
"So that's it, then can you sell the snow deer you raised in captivity?" Zhou Weiqing asked tentatively.
Ilhan froze for a moment, shook his head quickly, and said with an ugly face: "That must not work, the snow deer is our totem, it has given us life and everything, how can it be used as a commodity? The snow deer is also Our protector, when encountering enemies, the most powerful warrior in our clan will ride a snow deer to charge forward."
"Oh, that's how it is." Zhou Weiqing nodded in disappointment, he couldn't force others to do what he wanted.
Seeing the disappointment on Zhou Weiqing's face, the head of the Snow Deer Clan suddenly became a little panicked. Although the Emperor Liujue has shown great favor to the Snow Deer Clan, he has never asked them anything. With Long Shiya's status , strength, the Snow Deer Clan can't really do anything except provide him with some food.
At this moment, Long Shiya, who had always been a loner, finally accepted an apprentice, and even made a request. Isn't this a good opportunity to further curry favor with the Liujue Emperor
"Mr. Zhou, why do you want to buy snow deer?" Ilhan asked tentatively.
Zhou Weiqing laughed and said: "I have an army in the south. I heard that the snow deer of your Snow Deer tribe are tall and majestic. I originally wanted to buy some for my soldiers to use as mounts. I think it will be of great use in future battles." .”
Ilhan frowned and remained silent. Selling snow deer is definitely not allowed, the rules of the Snow Deer tribe cannot be changed, and even if he agrees, the tribe will never agree.
Zhou Weiqing hadn't expressed any hope at first, but seeing that Ilhan had stopped talking, he hurried to grab the food on the table, and he really had to grab it. As far as he was talking with Ilhan, the others were unceremoniously turmoil. If Zhou Weiqing slowed down, there would probably be nothing left.
Zhou Weiqing was eating deliciously, but Ilhan was in a difficult situation. The opportunity was rare, but it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he finally raised his head and said to Zhou Weiqing: "Mr. Zhou, it's actually like this. The snow deer of our Snow Deer Clan are indeed powerful. If it's a one-on-one situation, even Even if you encounter tiger and leopard cavalry, you can fight. However, not everyone can ride our snow deer. Only our snow deer tribe can get their approval and become a powerful snow deer cavalry. How about this? , if you need anything in the future, as long as your request comes, and it is not a war against our Beast Empire, I can give you up to five hundred snow deer cavalry for you to drive. After the war is over, you can let them come back That's it."
Is there such a good thing? When Zhou Weiqing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't even need to train, and he could get a five hundred snow deer cavalry. What a wonderful thing.
Ilhan thought he was too small, so he said bitterly: "Mr. Zhou, our clan has only over 10,000 people, and those who can become snow deer cavalry are the best fighters in our clan. The total number of cavalry in the clan is also There are only 1,000 people, and we always have to keep some in case of possible wars. It is really the limit to deploy 500 cavalry."
"Ah! I don't think it's too small." Zhou Weiqing said hastily, "Clan Chief Ilhan, thank you so much. Don't worry, even if I need your help in the future, I will never use your snow deer cavalry for nothing. Will pay enough expenses and food, even if I rent snow deer cavalry from your Snow Deer tribe, what do you think?"
Ilhan did not reject Zhou Weiqing's proposal. The Snow Deer Clan itself is not a big race, but the Snow Deer Cavalry is coveted by many powerful clans. If it weren't for the time when Liujue Emperor Long Shiya came to Xueshen Mountain, the Snow Deer Clan would have died sooner or later. was annexed.
