Kitano Hongming snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and entered the tent to eat his dry food.
It's just that the force of the mouth is not like chewing dry food, but like chewing the enemy's flesh.
But as he gnawed on it, he felt a little reversed.
That's not right. Even though his bodyguard is from the Shangshan Bodyguard Agency, shouldn't he take orders from the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince?
How come Chu Wenjin greeted him with just one sentence? But at that time, he didn't even notice anything was wrong.
Kitano Hongming was so angry that he slapped the hard rations in his hand on the table, making a banging sound.
But it's hard to say not to let the bodyguards eat it, after all, they are still counting on their bodyguards on the road.
Outside the tent, the escorts on the other side of the stone monument only looked sideways at Kitano Hongming's tent, and then continued to immerse themselves in eating.
It's so comforting to have a hot meal with the aroma of meat when you go out.
In this way, Kitano Hongming suffered alone for four days, and finally waited for the envoy to return.
Behind the messengers and escorts, there were herdsmen helping to drive cattle, sheep, deer and horses, which was very lively.
Chu Wenjin's eyes shone, and he called the escorts to put away their tents and get ready to go.
Because what needs to be done has been done before, so the handover process is going extremely smoothly now.
The grains from Yunxiao Kingdom and the livestock and silver from Beiman Kingdom each passed through the border stone monuments and became the property of the other country.
Chu Wenjin cupped his fists and asked Si Shang and Si Shan.
"Thank you for transporting these things back."
"Yes, Lord Chu, don't worry."
They looked at each other and knew where these things would be sent next.
Chu Wenjin thought, not knowing whether his father and eldest brother had arrived at the military camp safely.
Kitano Hongming was also explaining to the messenger.
"The twenty war horses and two hundred thousand taels of silver you borrowed will be replenished from our private treasury, so there is no need to alarm my father."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The envoy breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn't have to follow the prince and be punished again.
Beiye Hongming had already looked at Chu Wenjin. He finally crossed the stone monument and reached the territory of their Northern Barbarian Kingdom. Beiye Hongming twisted his lips and smiled.
"Chu Shangshu, thank you for your work!"
Chu Wenjin asked knowingly:
"Distributing grain to various tribes, Prince Kitano, do you still want to follow him and do it yourself?"
Kitano Hongming's current state of mind is much calmer.
"That's natural. We must let the tribes know that this grain was obtained by our Northern Barbarian royal family after all the hard work."
If he didn't go, maybe Chu Wenjin would be so eloquent and confuse right and wrong.
Chu Wenjin nodded in approval.
"What Prince Kitano said is that no one can take away this credit."
Kitano Hongming felt that Chu Wenjin's words seemed to have some meaning, but he couldn't figure out the key to it.
It was clear that Chu Wenjin's perfectly normal words made him feel terrified, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Kitano Hongming simply stopped talking to Chu Wenjin and went ahead with the fight.
Chu Wenjin asked from behind.
"Prince Beiye, I wonder how many tribes you want to distribute these grains to? I hope you have an idea."
What he asked was reasonable and reasonable, and Kitano Hongming didn't hesitate to answer.
"Just distribute it to the five major tribes. I won't bother Shangshu Chu with the rest. Let's go to the Guna tribe first."
As long as these big tribes are appeased and the small tribes are given small favors, they will not dare to have second thoughts towards the royal family.
Moreover, these large tribes are not secrets, and they are not afraid of letting Yunxiao Kingdom know more about them.
There are currently five major tribes in the Northern Man Kingdom: Guna Tribe, Mulun Tribe, Iron Wolf Tribe, Wengniu Tribe, and Bahu Tribe. Chu Wenjin knows about them.
The Iron Wolf tribe is in the middle, and to the north is the capital of the Northern Barbarian royal family. The Guna and Mulun tribes live in the east, and the Wengniu and Bahu tribes live in the west.
And where they are now is in the east, starting from the Guna tribe, and going along the road to the Mulun tribe, the Iron Wolf tribe, the Wengniu tribe, and the Bahu tribe, just in a circle.
By the time the grain seeds are delivered, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month.
After the palace banquet that day, Jun Lingyun explained everything about the Northern Man Kingdom to Chu Wenjin in detail.
The iron wolf tribe used the former site of the China tribe.
Chu Wenjin also didn't believe it if the Iron Wolf Tribe had nothing to do with the genocide of the China Tribe.
He thought of Bai Xiao and Mu Qi'er, how sad it must be for them to return to their homeland, but things have changed and people have changed.
At this time, Bai Xiao and Mu Qier were secretly searching the mine, hoping to find the imprisoned people of the China tribe.
No matter how many people are still alive, they must rescue them.
It was just that he might have alerted the enemy and spoiled Jun Lingyun's plan, so he acted very cautiously.
"Brother Bai Xiao, we have checked several hills. Who are we looking for?"
Xiao Lei followed Bai Xiao and Mu Qier along the way, talking less and watching more, which can be regarded as gaining more knowledge.
It turns out that honesty is not the criterion for judging the quality of a guard. It is whether he can do his job well.
It turns out that the first-class guards act so cleanly and neatly.
Don't blink when you tell lies, and don't blink when you do evil things. In short, in order to achieve your goal, it is impossible to be honest with the enemy.
Even Mu Qier, a sweet-looking young lady, will strike quickly and accurately once she gets serious.
It's just that these days of hiking over mountains and ridges really made Xiao Lei a little confused. He couldn't help but ask.
"The Queen said that there are mines in this mountain range."
Bai Xiao looked at the endless mountains and replied. Xiao Lei scratched his head. Didn't he say he was looking for someone? Why did he turn into prospecting?
"Shh!"
Mu Qier suddenly stopped the conversation between the two and signaled them to squat down.
Under the cover of weeds and rocks, they saw several carriages pulling some large rocks with a black luster out of the mountains.
Bai Xiao and Mu Qier looked at each other, feeling excited. Have they found it?
After the carriage carrying the ore had gone away, the three of them got up and looked in the direction in which the carriage came out. Sure enough, they found an inconspicuous path.
After walking along the path for two quarters of an hour, they came across a cave. The three of them carefully walked through the long cave and heard the sound of banging stones.
They moved lightly and found a hiding place to observe. Outside the mine, there were dozens of people carrying large rocks. In such a cold weather, they were all wearing thin and ragged clothes.
I don't know how many people are inside the mine.
Bai Xiao didn't know anyone here. He looked at Mu Qier, who also frowned and shook his head.
Not to mention that after so many years, a person's appearance will change. Even if there is no change, it is impossible for her, every commoner of the Chena tribe has seen it.
"Cough, cough, cough."
A man who was knocking stones coughed several times and doubled over. He immediately received an angry scolding from the guarding soldier:
"What a bastard! I cough every day, why didn't I cough you to death? Work quickly! If you can't finish it, don't eat today's dinner! Living is a waste of food."
The man quickly covered his mouth and coughed, not daring to cough out.
