Most of the tribes on the grassland are composed of many small tribes.
Small tribes have leaders, and apart from being oppressed by larger tribes, they are almost local overlords.
Dole is such a local bully.
He was inexplicably angry early in the morning. After walking out of the tent, he saw a shepherd couple passing by holding a lamb, so he waved, "Come here."
The shepherd couple turned around and came forward to salute.
Dole pointed at the woman and said, "Follow me."
The shepherd's expression changed, "I can't..."
Dole smiled ferociously, "Whip!"
Someone handed over the whip, and the woman hurriedly knelt down and said, "I do, I do."
The shepherd also regretted it, but Dole's anger was transferred from the woman to him.
"Something worse than a pig or a dog!"
After a beating, the shepherd's screams turned into moans.
"Bitch!" Dole dragged the woman's hair and prepared to go in.
A guard hurried over and said, "Chief, a blind man came here and said he saw something angry about us here."
Dole gasped and stared at the guard with his blood-red eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
The guard shook his head, "I don't know, but it looks very..."
"mystery?"
"right."
The blind man was brought.
"How did you see Qi?" Dole's anger turned to the blind man, and he slowly approached with a whip.
The blind man said calmly: "I'm blind. I can't see anyone. I can only look at people and feel my bones. Hey! Who is in front of me? How come I see some... nobility?"
Dole was startled and looked closely into the blind man's eyes.
The blind man's eyes were dull. Dole stretched out his hand and shook it, but there was no response.
"What's wrong with you? Keep your voice down." Dole said softly.
"Nobility," said the blind man.
"Can you still touch bones?"
"yes!"
"Touch."
There was a rustling sound.
The blind man took a step back and said, "What a noble person. You are beyond words."
"If it's just lies..." Dole sneered.
The blind man shook his head, "I have seen qi. Above the noble qi, the white qi seems to be the real thing. The white qi controls natural disasters. This year, noble people should be careful and say goodbye."
Dole, who was dubious at first, was startled, "You don't want money?"
The blind man smiled slightly, and a breath of dust came with him, "I am wandering in the wilderness, what do you need money for?"
Dole got excited and said, "Get some dry food."
The blind man shook his head, "I have revealed too many secrets. If God wants me to starve to death, I will not be able to find food. If God is merciful, the wilderness will naturally give me food and clothing. Farewell."
The little leaders who came outside the tent after hearing the news had different expressions.
When the blind man came out, he glanced at one of them a few more times, with a surprised look on his face.
Dole summoned the small chiefs to discuss matters. After what he said, everyone knelt down and prayed.
The grassland tribes believe in gods the most. When they heard that the blind man left without taking anything, everyone believed in his words.
"If the leader can take another step forward, we can also rise with the tide."
"This... I'm afraid the gods will come down to earth to give us some guidance."
"yes!"
Devout believers prayed one after another.
But Dole was worried, "The master said that white gas will cause disaster."
"White gas? Is that snow? Is there a snow disaster this year?"
"God, if this is the case, our cattle and sheep will suffer this year. I don't know how many will die."
"what to do?"
"sell away!"
"It's okay to sell in spring. Who dares to buy cattle and sheep at this time?"
"It's just that I have nothing to eat and no shelter during this season. I can only watch the cattle and sheep starve to death."
I was anxious for two days.
"Chief, someone is collecting cattle and sheep."
"oh!"
Dole was overjoyed and said, "Call me."
A middle-aged man came slowly, and just by looking at him, he felt that he was a gentleman.
"I've seen the leader." The man saluted.
Dole asked: "Where are you going to gather your cattle and sheep at this time of year?"
The middle-aged man said: "Collect it and sacrifice it to the gods."
Dole couldn't help but be delighted, "How much does it cost?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and asked, "How much does the leader want?"
After some haggling, 40% off.
Dole ordered: "Send more than ten cavalry to follow."
If it's a sacrifice to gods, it's easy to say, but if not...
Dole sneered.
More than ten riders followed the man in the name of helping escort him.
"Where's Munk?" Dole found that a small leader was missing.
"I said I was going to visit relatives."
A few dozen miles away, Mangke caught up with the blind man.
The blind man held the wooden stick and walked forward with his head held high, as if he could walk on flat ground even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead of him.
"What a master."
Munk catches up with the blind man.
"Master, why did you look at me so many times that day?"
The blind man had a vicissitude of life on his face, "Why bother asking?"
Mang Ke knelt down and said piously: "Please give me some advice."
There are also swindlers on the grassland, but the swindlers are for money. But this master does not take any money, not even dry food, which shows that he is a truly righteous man.
Mangke raised his arm and said, "Please let someone touch the bones."
The blind man sighed, "That's all, I just want to touch the skull."
Mang Ke raised his head piously, the blind man touched his skull, sat down and said nothing.
He smiled bitterly for a long time, "I stepped out of the tent that day and noticed a sense of nobility. I thought to myself how a small tribe could have two auras of nobility? When I touched it now, it turned out to be you!"
Mang Ke was extremely excited, "What can I do with my nobility?"
"Hey!" The blind man shook his head, "I seemed to see a forest of swords and guns, and blood splattered like rain."
Mang Ke kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Master."
The blind man turned around and soon met the person who responded.
"Where's Lao Cao?"
Lao Cao had just finished killing someone at this moment.
More than a dozen tribal cavalry fell around, and several convict sergeants who were accompanying them were digging holes.
The next day, the old thief came to meet with him.
"You asked me to look at the other little leaders more. I was still wondering why... and sure enough, someone caught up with you within a few days."
Cao Ying said calmly: "Have you said everything I asked you to say?"
"Say it." The old thief sighed: "I understand your intention now. The little leader was so bewitched by my words that his blood boiled, thinking that he had destiny. I'm afraid this return will not be bloody. Alas! Old Cao
, if you buy a sheep, just buy a sheep, why are you using such cruel methods?"
Cao Ying looked south on horseback, "We bought a lot of cattle and sheep, which are ridiculously cheap. But that tribe is probably going to starve to death this winter..."
The old thief said casually: "What does that have to do with your poisonous plan? They kill people... kill people..."
The old thief was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Langjun's great cause is about to begin, and we must accumulate virtue for him."
The old thief said: "Is killing someone also accruing virtue?"
"If more people die, the rest will not starve." Cao Ying clasped her hands together and said piously: "The gods are merciful."
At this moment, the small tribe was filled with flames and shouts of killing.
Mang Ke, covered in blood, walked outside Dole's tent with a ferocious smile, "Get out!"
Holding a long knife, Dole stumbled out and roared: "Mangke, I'm not kind to you, why should I rebel?"
Mangke didn't say anything, and the two of them started fighting.
Dole, who had been pampered for a long time, was defeated and fell to the ground. Things kept pouring out of the hole in his stomach. He gasped: "Why?"
Mang Ke leaned over and said with a smile: "You are noble, and so am I. But how can one tribe accommodate two noble people? If I kill you, I will naturally be the only noble person."
…
Bought the cattle and sheep.
“The price is good.”
Yang Xuan was very satisfied.
Cao Ying knelt on the side and said respectfully: "Mr. Lang, you must take advantage of the season to prepare fodder for those cattle and sheep, otherwise they will not be able to survive the winter."
"Ask the people to collect it," Yang Xuan said.
"Lang Jun is wise." Cao Ying said with a smile: "Those common people have nothing to do all day long. It would be good to find something for them to do."
After leaving the room, Yi Niang was in front.
"Langjun has been looking at the map these days, so I can't ask questions. You just happened to be back...what's the situation outside?"
Cao Ying said: "Zhangyu County is hostile to us, and the state is full of ambition but not strong enough. This is our current situation. As for our opponents, the defeat of the horse thieves is good news, but those alien races are ready to make a move."
Yi Niang felt cold in her heart, "What about those alien races?"
"very powerful!"
"How powerful?" Yi Niang asked.
Cao Ying thought for a while, "If they don't worry about the Tang Dynasty sending troops to retaliate, the entire Chenzhou will be submerged by the hooves of foreign horses."
Yi Niang smiled bitterly, "Lang Jun's great cause... is so difficult."
"It's like walking on thin ice." Cao Ying added: "Lang Jun knows the overall situation, but he remains calm. This is how he can be calm during big events. Yi Niang, I am very happy to have such a master."
Yi Niang sighed: "I would rather my husband be in Chang'an, at least it's not so dangerous."
"Chang'an is uneasy." Cao Ying said with a bit more sarcasm, "Those nobles were fighting in full swing. The four members of the family thought that the puppet emperor would first defeat Zuo Xiang and others before trying to suppress them. But they didn't expect that the puppet emperor would first defeat Zuo Xiang and others. But they didn't expect that the puppet emperor would suppress them at first.
The emperor just wants to suppress them."
"You and I are deceitful." Yi Niang sneered, "A family with five surnames is not a good person. Even if the emperor shows his fangs, they will not just sit back and die. Chang'an, I'm afraid it will be very lively."
Cao Ying smiled, her eyes as sharp as knives, "Let them fight, and they will be bloody. Wait until Lang Jun has laid down his foundation, and then we will see who owns the world!"
"Mr. Lang is out."
Yang Xuan left the room and stretched himself.
Cao Ying and Yiniang saluted.
"I've met Mr. Lang."
Yang Xuan nodded, "I'll go to the city for a walk."
He felt like a big landowner and wanted to go to the fields every day.
When we arrived at the front yard, Jiang Zhen just came out.
"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Xuanhan smiled and said: "I heard that you have been working very hard recently, so you should pay attention to your health. I will ask someone to give you some of those dried meats later, so don't be reluctant to eat them."
"yes."
Jiang Zhen watched him leave the county house and returned to his room later.
First look out through the crack in the door, then listen.
no one.
On the roof diagonally opposite, the old thief was lying on his side, holding a grass root in his mouth and crossing his legs...
Jiang Zhen began to write.
——Purchase hundreds of cattle and sheep...
He stopped writing, and Yang Xuan's kind appearance appeared in his mind.
Mingfu is sincere to me.
He changed the paper.
——Purchased more than a hundred cattle and sheep...
