In early February of the eleventh year of Daye (AD 615), Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue, who had not long arrived in Daxing City, set off again on their journey to steal the Shennong Cauldron. Yuwen Tuo also quietly left Daxing City without a trace. , only the four generals of Yuwen Tuo led five thousand elite soldiers to camp day and night at the Nanling Ghost Cave.
Dugu Ningke, who had been paying attention to Yuwen Tuo, had to return his energy to the four generals when he discovered that Yuwen Tuo and Le Yuan, the wine and sword fairy, had disappeared together.
Yuwen Tuo and Le Yuan came and went without a trace, and Dugu Ningke had no way of knowing their whereabouts and destination. Only the four generals who led the army to the Nanling Ghost Cave had the best grasp of their whereabouts. According to the reports from the spies Dugu Ningke placed among them, the purpose of this team was to seal off the Nanling Ghost Cave and not allow anyone to enter until Yuwen Tuo returned. Enter.
"Do you know why Master Yuwen went to the Nanling Ghost Cave?"
Dugu Ningke sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked at the spy who was kneeling in front of him with his head lowered and asked coldly.
"No, I don't know. But there seems to be rumors in the army about what it is for, what kind of stone it is. It seems that Grand Master Yuwen wants that stone very much."
The kneeling spy did not dare to raise his head. Although Dugu Ningke was stunningly beautiful, neither she nor the two maids behind her were as harmless as they appeared. On the contrary, in the spy's opinion, the three beautiful women in front of him are all masters who can eat people without spitting out their bones.
"Stone? Are you talking about Nuwa Stone?"
Dugu Ningke is not a spy who knows nothing. When he heard the key word stone, he immediately thought of the Nuwa Stone among the top ten artifacts. Thinking that the four troops would be dispatched together to seal off a Nanling ghost cave, Dugu Ningke became more and more sure of his guess. The Nuwa Stone must be in the Nanling ghost cave.
"Yes, yes, it's the Nuwa Stone. It seems that Grand Master Yuwen is very concerned about the Nuwa Stone, and the entire Grand Master's Palace is out in force!" the spy replied with a shy smile.
"Well done. It's really commendable for your loyalty to bring such news to me. Xiaoxiao, take him down to receive the reward. Remember to keep it secret!"
Dugu Ningke waved her hand, and Shan Xiaoxiao, the maid in green clothes who stood behind her and led the spies to the side room.
As the two disappeared into the hall of the Princess's Mansion, Dugu Ningke's other maid in red, Millennium Vixen, showed a bloodthirsty smile on her face.
When Shan Xiaoxiao appeared in the living room again, the spy had completely disappeared, and the whole person seemed to have disappeared from the world. This is what Dugu Ningke did. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the information he received, he did not hesitate to kill the spy who delivered the information.
After receiving the news about the "Nuwa Stone", Dugu Ningke no longer sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, but chose to take the initiative, leading her two maids to secretly head towards the Lingnan Ghost Cave. She had no idea that the actions of these four generals were completely planned by Le Yuan. The purpose is to attract people with bad intentions like Dugu Ningke and use fake Nuwa stones to deceive their attention.
Le Yuan, who successfully set out on the road, went all the way north and soon arrived outside the Great Wall. For the two people who traveled by flight, thousands of miles in one day was too slow. After wandering around the grassland, we came to the hermitage of the Tuoba tribe.
The Tuoba tribe is a nomadic tribe, but in addition to herding, this tribe is also proficient in herbal medicine. From the power of Shennong's divine weapon, the Tuoba tribe inherited its ability to practice herbal medicine. Many people in the tribe are masters of herbal medicine.
The permanent residence of the Tuoba tribe is very secret and cannot be found by ordinary people. Only those who often deal with people outside the customs know it. Moreover, this place is extremely suitable for the growth of herbal medicines, and this ability of the Tuoba tribe has attracted many herbal medicine dealers from the Central Plains. Le Yuan and Xiaoxue entered the Tuoba tribe disguised as herbal medicine dealers.
"Brother Le, is this the Tuoba tribe? It is really a magical place, completely different from the Central Plains!"
Looking at the costumes and living customs of the Tuoba people, Yu Xiaoxue felt an unimaginable sense of novelty, a feeling she could not experience in Yuehe Village. Following closely behind Le Yuan, Yu Xiaoxue walked through the Tuoba tribe.
Soon the two came to an extremely luxurious tent that looked like a high-ranking member of the Tuoba tribe. Before Le Yuan and the two could stop, two warriors with scimitars standing outside the tent blocked the way. Le Yuan.
"Stop, this is the tent of the leader of our Tuoba tribe. If the Central Plains people have nothing to do, please don't break in! If you want to buy herbs or finished elixirs, please go to the tent to the east to discuss."
I saw a guy who was making noodles, Tuoba, waved his right hand to block Le Yuan's way, and said to Le Yuan, who looked a bit noble, in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"I have a batch of big deals here that I want to discuss with the noble clan leader. They are worth thousands of gold. I don't think ordinary people can afford them. Why don't you inform your clan leader and see how he decides!"
Le Yuan was like using money to pressure people, throwing out a huge number that was unimaginable to the Tuoba guy in front of him. Worth a thousand pieces of gold, this is not just a simple word. Although the Tuoba tribe's herbal medicine business is prosperous, their annual income cannot be said to be as much as a thousand pieces of gold.
The chill on the faces of the two guards subsided a lot. They looked at Le Yuan as if they were looking at the gold master. One of them nodded to Le Yuan and then retreated into the tent. It seemed that he was going to find the clan leader. .
After almost a cup of tea, the young man from the Tuoba clan hurried out this time, bowed slightly to Le Yuan and said, "The clan leader invites you, two distinguished guests, please come with me!"
In the patriarch's tent, a bearded man sitting cross-legged on the main couch looked at Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue who walked in. He seemed surprised that young Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue would master such a large deal.
On both sides of this man who looked like a clan leader, there was a man and a woman on one side. They looked like a newlywed couple, with deep love between their eyebrows. The woman on the other side looks somewhat similar to the woman opposite, but she looks like she is in her early 16s, and her face is still a bit immature.
"Guests who have come from afar, I wonder if you can let me know your name, and where did this deal worth thousands of gold come from?" Tuoba, the old team leader on the main couch, looked at Le Yuan and asked.
"I want to come here to purchase a batch of high-quality Wanhongxia, Taiqingxue, Tuxiansha and Ziying pears... The higher the quality, the better. I won't refuse them here!"
The series of names Le Yuan revealed were ones that even Yu Xiaoxue had never heard of. Even Tuoba Yu'er, a young girl standing alone on one side, frowned upon hearing them. She has a quite pungent personality. Without waiting for her father to speak, she pointed directly at Le Yuan and said: "Among these herbs, I, a person who has been exposed to herbal medicines all year round, can only recognize 20 to 30% of them. Moreover, these herbs are quite rare. Do you really care? Do you have enough money? Don’t even think about taking advantage of our Tuoba clan for nothing!”
"Yu'er, step back!" As the old patriarch Tuoba glared at Tuoba Yu'er, Tuoba Yu'er immediately stepped back unwillingly. Then the old patriarch smiled at Le Yuan pleasantly, "Little girl Her ignorance made the two of you laugh, but she was not entirely wrong. This is indeed a huge deal. Even if someone from my clan wants to gather the herbs you want, it is not an easy task. "
"Although our clan has a lot of medicines in stock, it is not something that can be completed in a short time to collect them. Do you think that before we start to buy them, let us see your sincerity first, otherwise even if I am the clan leader, this Things are not easy to handle either!”
The meaning of the old patriarch Tuoba was very clear. They would never start buying medicinal materials without revealing some of Le Yuan's financial resources.
"This is natural. When doing business, you must have sincerity. And my sincerity is here, patriarch, look at it!"
Just when Tuoba Yu'er and others were wondering what Le Yuan wanted them to see, Le Yuan took a step forward and waved his sleeves in front of him. A four-four appeared on the carpet in front of him in an instant. Square wooden box.
"Squeak-"
Le Yuan opened the wooden box, and immediately the neatly arranged gold bars appeared in the wooden box. The golden gold was so dazzling that even Tuoba Yu'er, who didn't think much of gold and silver, was almost dumbfounded at this moment.
"Clan Chief Tuoba would like to test the quality of my gold. This is genuine pure gold. I think my sincerity should be enough!"
For ordinary players, it is enough to bring enough gold for their own expenses. After all, the space backpack is very limited. Even a level 6 player at the top of the second level like Le Yuan only has a 6×6×6 size, with a total of 216 cubic meters of variable space.
It seems that there are a lot of things that can be brought, but when combined with weapons, food, medicine, clothing, and even common equipment or transportation, it seems completely insufficient.
And Le Yuan has such a huge storage space in the small world that he can freely exchange these worthless golds with the system.
Both the old patriarch Tuoba and Zhang Lie, the patriarch's son-in-law, carefully inspected the gold at this moment. After several observations, they were very sure that the batch of gold in front of them was indeed real gold.
"The art of Qiankun in this sleeve of mine has made a fool of itself. Come to us when you have prepared the medicinal materials. We will always be waiting in the tribe."
Le Yuan waved again, and all the gold on the ground was immediately waved away. This hand made Tuoba Yu'er's eyes shine when she saw it, and it even made Zhang Lie look at her with meaningful eyes.
With this contact, Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue finally settled down in the Tuoba tribe justifiably. On weekdays, only two brothers from the Tuoba tribe look after him.
On this occasion, Yu Xiaoxue, the reincarnation of the artifact, took advantage of the opportunity of wandering around the tribe to explore the location of the Shennong Cauldron. Through the resonance between the artifacts and Le Yuan's insinuations, the two finally confirmed the location of the Shennong Tripod on the third day after entering the Tuoba tribe.
On the night when Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue were preparing to steal the tripod, Tuoba Yu'er visited the tent where they were staying.
