The Desolate Era

Chapter 34: Receive leather goods

Views:

The exquisitely cut animal fur coat was very close-fitting, giving Qiuye a sense of heroism. She stood in the open space outside the Iron Stone Tribe and looked into the distance.

Her figure also attracted the attention of the young people of this simple tribe. Ever since Qiuye came to the Iron Stone Tribe, she has undoubtedly become the most beautiful girl in the Iron Stone Tribe... One by one, young people competed to show them off in front of Qiu Ye. bravery, but none of them can attract Akiba.

"Miss Qiuye, she must be waiting for her son."

"Well, Uncle Dala and the others who came back said that the young master is very powerful. Hundreds of Qingjiawei of the Tiemu clan were killed by the young master in the blink of an eye!"

"Only such a powerful son can be matched with the beautiful Qiuye girl."

"It's a pity to meet the big monster! That powerful young man may not survive the big monster. The big monster changed the world when he was angry. At that time, a large group of people froze to death. Uncle Dala and the others ran fast. I escaped by luck. If that young man dies, Miss Qiuye will have to find someone else to marry!"

Tribal youths stood guard at the gate and whispered.

In their eyes, a girl like Qiuye is simply a fairy in the legend... Compared with Qiuye, the girls in their tribe are like heaven and earth.

Qiu Ye stood there, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance.

She is waiting, waiting for the most important man in her life.

"Autumn Leaf." A burly figure came out from the tribe, it was another servant, Mowu, and Mowu persuaded, "Take a break first, once the young master comes, the guards at the gate of the tribe will naturally be able to see it."

"No." Qiuye shook her head lightly.

Mowu glanced at Autumn Leaves, and then sat down on a tree root that had been cut down. His brows were also full of worry. He already knew from the returned Uncle Dala that Ji Ning was with the big demon at that time. The Water Rhinoceros King' fought a battle... As for the result of the battle, I don't know, although I hope that the young master will return, but I can tell Mowu rationally... The young master is afraid that there will be more than good luck!

Because Uncle Dala and others returned from Dongshan Daze, it took nearly two days.

With Mr. Ji Ning's speed, if he was alive, he would probably be able to reach the Iron Stone Tribe in less than half a day... It stands to reason that he should return to the Iron Stone Tribe before Uncle Dala and others! But Uncle Dala and the others have been back for two days, but Ji Ning hasn't come back yet.

"If the young master dies, I'm afraid Qiuye and I will also be buried with him." Mo Wu said silently.

If the master dies, how can the servant live

For an overlord like the Ji family, the internal rules are very strict.

"Huh?" Mowu suddenly blinked his eyes, and there was a figure in the distant mountains and forests, that figure was very familiar... very much like the figure of the young master!

"My lord!" Qiu Ye had already galloped over.

"Young master?"

"Miss Qiuye flew over."

"Look, there seems to be someone coming over there. Could it be the young master that Miss Qiuye is waiting for?" The young guards at the gate of the tribe whispered, and at the same time, some guards started running towards the tribe and began to notify the tribe insiders.

Qiu Ye looked at the animal-skin boy who came with a smile on his face. The fear, panic, anxiety, worry and many other emotions suppressed in the past two days made her burst into tears.

"Young Master." Qiu Ye looked at Ji Ning, "I, I..."

"Didn't I come back?" Ji Ning's amazing eyesight saw Uncle Dala, the one-armed man and others in the tribe walking out in the distance at a glance, and he couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that Da is back, he told you I fought against the Water Rhinoceros King? I haven't come back for a few days, and you're scared like this?"

Akiba struggled to hold back tears.

"As far as a water rhinoceros king is concerned, it's not worth mentioning to your son." Ji Ning raised his eyebrows, looking very energetic.

Qiu Ye exclaimed: "My lord, did you kill the big demon?"

"En." Ji Ning nodded triumphantly.

"Wow, big demon, the young master killed the big demon." Qiu Ye was extremely excited, "Young master was only eleven years old, and he killed the big demon, this..." As a personal maid, the center of Qiu Ye's life is Ji Ning, who has been It revolves around Ji Ning, Ji Ning is her most important relative in this world, Ji Ning can kill the big monster, Qiu Ye is naturally excited from the bottom of her heart.

Ji Ning lowered his voice: "Don't spread the word."

"Yes, yes." Qiu Yelian nodded.

"Let's go to the Iron Stone Tribe." Ji Ning said. In the past few days, Ji Ning reflected on the previous two battles in the mountains. During the battle, he discovered some shortcomings of himself. After careful reflection, he went back to After carefully studying his two sets of sword techniques, he felt that he had improved a lot.

Ji Ning walked towards the main gate of the Iron Stone Tribe with Qiu Ye.

Uncle Dala and a group of tribal men are taking the initiative to greet them. The one who walks in the front is a bald, white-haired old man. After walking over, the bald, white-haired old man even bowed his head to pay respect: "I am Iron Three of the Iron Stone Tribe. Thank you, great son, for saving my Iron Stone Tribe members several times, all members of my Iron Stone Tribe are extremely grateful to you... and have been looking forward to your arrival."

Ji Ning nodded with a smile: "I will temporarily stay in your Iron Stone Tribe for a while, as for rescue? But just do it conveniently, and... I don't want to be disturbed."

"Understood, understood." The bald, white-haired old man nodded repeatedly.

"Da." Ji Ning looked over.

Uncle Dala, who was as tall as a black bear, even stepped forward, looking very excited: "Young master, seeing you come back, I..."

"Okay." Ji Ning said with a smile, "You have helped me in Dongshanze for more than a month. I said that I will thank you when I return to the Iron Stone Tribe. Take it." As he spoke, three animal heads appeared in his hands. Jin, threw them over, each of them weighed ten catties, which made the big black Uncle Dala a little dumbfounded.

Immediately following him to connect, the other clansmen next to him were very envious.

"Let's go." Ji Ning glanced at Mowu and Qiuye, and then walked directly to the Iron Stone Tribe.

Ji Ning can definitely give more expensive gifts, but the Iron Stone Tribe is a small tribe with barely a thousand people, and items that are too precious will be a disaster instead!

Inside the Ironstone Tribe.

"Young master." Qiu Ye poured fruit wine for Ji Ning, and served fruit delicacies, "Mowu and I have been in this tribe for more than a month, and we got in touch with our Ji family not long after we came here."

"En." Ji Ning nodded.

When I was traveling abroad, I would communicate with Xifu City through Ji's scattered garrisons in various places every month.

"There is also a letter from Xifu City to the young master." Qiu Ye took out a scroll from her bosom.

Ji Ning took it, unfolded the khaki-colored leather roll, and couldn't help but smile when he saw it, it was a letter from his mother! There was nothing in the letter, it was mainly some words of concern, but the mother's nagging made Ji Ning feel very warm in the heart of Ji Ning who had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

"Okay, Qiuye, it seems that you haven't had a good rest for many days, so go rest." Ji Ning said.

"I'm not sleepy." Qiu Ye said repeatedly.

"Go." Ji Ning shouted.

Qiu Ye even lowered her head, obediently went to her own residence to rest.

Time passed, ten days and a half months went to Dongshanze, and most of the time was to study swordsmanship in the Iron Stone tribe. In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

"Tsk." Ji Ning was sitting on the roof, holding a bamboo tube, which contained high-quality fruit wine, "Although Xifu City is big, it is not as warm as this small tribe."

Rest at sunset and work at sunrise.

The Ironstone tribe is very united, they help each other, and they are like brothers.

"Hurry up."

"Go back."

"Quick, put it all away."

Suddenly, the originally peaceful and quiet tribe suddenly became noisy and chaotic. Ji Ning, who was drinking fruit wine on the roof, couldn't help being puzzled. He immediately jumped off the roof and grabbed a young man who was running past: "You."

"Young master." The young man saw that it was Ji Ning who arrested him, so he responded respectfully.

"What's going on?" Ji Ning asked, "Why is the tribe in chaos all of a sudden? Aren't you guys practicing marksmanship before? Why don't you practice anymore?"

"It's the people from the Black Mountain Tribe!" The young man continued, "The people from the Black Mountain Tribe have come to our tribe to collect furs. We should hide some good furs in the tribe, otherwise they will be discovered by the people of the Black Mountain Tribe. It will be miserable if you leave. Young master, I have to hurry back—"

Ji Ning nodded thoughtfully: "Go."

Qiu Ye was also looking at these in front of the house, and said, "The Black Mountain Tribe is a very large tribe, with tens of thousands of people, like some small tribes, they have to hand over some goods to them every year."

"Hmph." Ji Ning frowned, "This land is my Ji clan's territory! Only my Ji clan can collect taxes. Isn't the Black Mountain tribe asking the surrounding small tribes to hand over their goods, which is equivalent to taxation?"

The Ji family collected taxes from every tribe in the territory.

At the same time, the Ji family is a courtier of the Great Xia Dynasty, and most of the taxes collected are going to the Great Xia Dynasty!

"That's what you said." Qiu Ye shook his head, "Do these small tribes dare not give it? If they don't give it, the Black Mountain tribe can completely defeat a small tribe directly, capture it as a prisoner and sell it."

Ji Ning sighed.

yes.

Because there are too many tribes, it is impossible for the tribes to fight each other, and the Ji family can only indulge. It's not just the Ji family... even the Great Xia Dynasty ruled the endless territory, and they can only manage it laissez-faire. The Ji family and the Tiemu family are not the same as fighting each other like sworn enemies? The place is too big to manage!

"Here we come." Qiu Ye said, "People from the Black Mountain Tribe are here."

Ji Ning also looked, and saw a group of armored guards in half armor in the distance, led by a man in animal skin, showing off their power, as if they were patrolling their own territory. And the leader of the Iron Stone Tribe, Uncle Dala and others accompanied them one by one, and they were very obedient and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Ke Yong, the leader of the Heishan tribe, is looking at this dilapidated little tribe with complacency.

"Hmph." Ke Yong glanced at the people of the Iron Stone Tribe next to him, seeing their frightened and flattering expressions, he couldn't help but feel more complacent.

He was a core executive in the Black Mountain Tribe, but when he came to a small tribe like the Iron Stone Tribe... he could do whatever he wanted! Once I get angry, this small tribe may be doomed, and the 100-member guard team led by myself alone can sweep this small tribe. I have absolute right to dispose of this small tribe.

"Huh?" Ke Yong suddenly caught a glimpse of a boy and a girl standing not far away, and his eyes lit up. Some armored guards next to him couldn't help holding their breath when they saw it.

"Pretty, beautiful." Ke Yong was shocked instantly, followed by a strong possessive desire in his heart, he must capture this beautiful girl as his personal maid, and he must pamper her every day! Thinking of this, Ke Yong felt as if his whole body was congested with blood.

"Hahaha..." Ke Yong laughed and walked directly towards the boy and girl.

Ji Ning frowned slightly, and looked at the tall man with exquisite ornaments on his body. This tall man glanced at Ji Ning and Qiu Ye with the eyes of a high-class tribal person examining the goods, especially when he was looking at Qiu Ye. Greed is undisguised: "This animal fur coat is very delicately cut. Did you make it yourself, girl? What a skill? The boy next to him has the same cut fur coat. Is he your brother?"
