The leader, the concubine, was lying upright on the bed, looking at the roof in a daze. He had been looking like this for several hours, and his heart was in a state of confusion.
Although he is a commoner, he is at least of his father's blood. Even people of the opposite sex can control the Iron Wolf tribe. Why can't he inherit the position of leader of the tribe?
The leader, the concubine, became more and more excited as he thought about it. He finally sat up abruptly. He found a black suit, put it on, and quietly touched Chu Wenjin's window.
To avoid alerting the guards of the Iron Wolf tribe, he only pushed it slightly, but the window opened by itself, startling him.
The person who opened the window was Si Ruo, who was walking with Chu Wenjin during the day.
Si Ruo also didn't make a sound, but just made a gesture of invitation. The leader's heart was filled with excitement, he turned over and entered Chu Wenjin's house.
Chu Wenjin was sipping tea under a weak candlelight and stretched out his hand to motion for him to sit down.
The leader's brother-in-law bowed.
"Please also ask the Minister of Chu to point out a clear path for me."
Since Chu Wenjin hinted him to come over to meet, he must have already made up his mind.
He had better listen to Chu Wenjin's idea first and see if it would work before making a decision.
Chu Wenjin looked at him, seemingly puzzled.
"I thought I had made it very clear during the day."
The leader's concubine tried hard to recall what Chu Wenjin had said during the day. By the way, he said: Be ruthless and eradicate dissidents.
"The deputy leader has many confidants. If I kill him, I may not be able to survive."
The leader, the brother-in-law, looked at Chu Wenjin carefully, wondering if this person was the one who wanted to eradicate them both?
Chu Wenjin took a sip of tea and then said:
"Just because you don't have the ability, doesn't mean others don't have it either. If you are willing, you can just reap the benefits."
The leader's concubine brother was startled. Does this Chu Shangshu want to do it himself?
He was a civil servant without any bodyguards, but he had the ability to kill the deputy leader of the tightly guarded Iron Wolf tribe?
The leader's concubine brother's mind suddenly changed and he suddenly turned his head to look at Si Ruo. Could it be that the Shangshan Escort Agency of the Northern Man Kingdom could be used by the Minister of Chu of the Yunxiao Kingdom?
Are they not afraid that if cooperation fails, he will publicize this matter?
They are not afraid. There is only one possibility. If he does not agree to cooperate, they have the ability to silence him.
Seeing Si Ruochong slightly curling his lips, the leader's concubine brother felt a chill go down his spine.
"Since there is no need for me, why does Chu Shangshu let me reap the benefits?"
He couldn't understand why Chu Wenjin wanted to help him since he had no connection with Chu Wenjin. What did he want from him?
Chu Wenjin thought to himself that this person was not stupid and could still be used.
"Of course it can be used. As long as you take control of the Iron Wolf tribe, you can do something for us."
"What's going on?"
The leader, the concubine brother, now believed it a little bit. He couldn't afford it without any profit, but he didn't know how much profit Chu Wenjin wanted.
"It's not convenient to tell you now. But I can assure you that it is easy for you to do this and it will not endanger your life. How about a deal?"
"Aren't you afraid if I go back on my word?"
The leader's concubine brother really couldn't understand Chu Wenjin. What if he took control of the Iron Wolf tribe but failed to fulfill his promise? Wouldn't Chu Wenjin's work be in vain? He didn't believe that Chu Wenjin didn't think of this.
Chu Wenjin lived up to his expectations and wrote lightly:
"You just said that the deputy leader has many confidants. Are you sure that you can secure that position on your own?"
The leader's concubine was speechless. Although he didn't want to admit this, it was an undisputed fact.
He thought for a moment, as long as his life was not endangered, what situation could be worse than his current situation of becoming a horse slave?
"make a deal!"
Chu Wenjin said with satisfaction:
"When you go back, think about how your leader brother died."
After the leader's concubine returned to his room, he couldn't sleep anymore because he was frightened by Chu Wenjin's last words.
What does Chu Wenjin mean? They killed the leader? If this is true, their strength is too terrifying.
If he seeks the skin of a tiger, his own life is hanging by a thread.
Early the next morning, the Northern Barbarian envoy walked out of the room with black eyes.
"Someone, hurry up and deliver this letter to the emperor."
He finally made up his mind that he could not delay it any longer. He had to report the disappearance of the prince to the emperor, and maybe there would be a chance of survival.
As soon as the messenger sent the letter, he saw Chu Wenjin coming from the opposite side. His heart skipped a beat. He, he, he, he, he, he, wouldn't drag him to wander around again, would he?
But I heard Chu Wenjin say:
"I have decided to set off today to deliver grain to the Wengniu tribe. Do you want the envoy to accompany you?"
The envoy looked troubled, thinking that he might as well take him for a stroll.
"Chu Shangshu, didn't we agree? Wait a few more days."
Chu Wenjin's stern words said:
"I can't let our emperor's feelings for the people go to waste like this. If the envoy doesn't go, that's fine, I will go myself."
Chu Wenjin was about to leave as he spoke. The envoy glanced at the guards of the Iron Wolf tribe, and the guards stepped forward to block Chu Wenjin's way.
Chu Wenjin turned back and raised his eyebrows.
"What does the envoy mean by this? Do you want to force me to stay here?"
The messenger spoke kindly to each other:
"Chu Shangshu, wait three more days, just three days. If His Highness the Crown Prince has not come back by then, can I let you go and deliver grain seeds?"
"Well, when the time comes, the leaders of the Wengniu tribe and the Bahu tribe will question me, and I will say that it was the envoy who forced me to stay and not allow me to send grain seeds."
Chu Wenjin made a show of going back to the house.
"Alas, Lord Chu, Lord Chu has stayed."
The messenger managed a smile with difficulty, but it was uglier than crying.
"I'll go, Shangshu and I will go deliver grain seeds."
Chu Wenjin walked back to the Iron Wolf tribe guards, raised his chin slightly, and waited for them to give way.
The Northern Barbarian envoy waved his hand reluctantly.
"Go and report to your deputy leader. If the emperor has any instructions, you must inform me as soon as possible."
The guards then moved out of the way, and Chu Wenjin and his party left the Iron Wolf tribe.
Without Bei Ye Hongming accompanying them, the Northern Barbarian envoy looked around and found that except for Chu Wenjin, only the bodyguards from Shangshan Escort Bureau could protect them.
The envoy suddenly felt a sense of being surrounded by tigers and wolves. He regretted not borrowing a few guards from the Iron Wolf tribe like Kitano Hongming did.
It's all because of Chu Wenjin's sudden attack, saying that wind is like rain. Before he had time to think about it, he was led on the road.
"Messenger, don't blame me for insisting on going my own way. I just saved you from the siege."
Chu Wenjin looked at the blue sky and white clouds and felt comfortable. He didn't sleep well during these days in the Iron Wolf tribe.
"Relieve the siege? Relieve what siege?"
The envoy didn't know where Chu Wenjin's words came from, and became even more uneasy.
Chu Wenjin enigmatically said:
"If the envoy wants to thank me, he can wait until he has figured it out later."
The Northern Barbarian envoy rolled his eyes inwardly, thanking him so much!
Three days later, Chu Wenjin and his party had just arrived at the Wengniu tribe, but the Iron Wolf tribe had already changed.
"The Emperor has an order to search the Iron Wolf tribe. Anyone who dares to resist the order will be killed without mercy!"
