He feels that whether a person can stand out sometimes does not necessarily depend entirely on ability, but luck is the most important thing.
In the Wutuo Khanate, Burke like him had only eight hundred if not one thousand, and could be said to be the most inconspicuous low-level official.
Although West Wind Fort is quite important among the many earth forts in the Khanate due to geographical reasons, Burke is still Burke after all, and he is just the commander of an earth fort.
His tribe does not have great strength, it is just a small tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that he had served as a guard beside Qifushan Khan, he would not even have been able to get the small official position of Burke.
It was already very difficult for him to become Burke of West Wind Castle. He knew that it would be really difficult for him to get promoted again.
But a lucky star came from the sky, and he never expected that the little Vulcan would appear in his West Wind Castle.
Who is the little Vulcan?
Those are the disciples of the Fire God.
Who is the God of Fire?
It was an existence that the Wutuo people worshiped as a god. At that time, Khan Tian personally begged the Fire God to serve as the great national advisor of the Wutuo Khanate. Although the Fire God refused, the Fire God was a genius that the Wutuo Khanate had seen for a hundred years.
The so-called genius is not only due to the fire god's martial arts.
It is said that when the Fire God was young, he studied under a shaman and learned shamanic teachings. A few years later, he was appointed as a closed disciple by the great shaman.
Many years later, the Fire God bid farewell to the great wizard and traveled around the world. No one knew what he had experienced. But when he appeared again thirty years later, he was already an extremely expert. The only one who could compare with him was Dongji Tianzhai.
The respected master and the sword god of Kunlun Sword House.
The God of Fire was once the pride of the Wutuo people and the beacon of the Wutuo Khanate.
But more than 20 years ago, the Fire God lost his voice, but his status in the hearts of the Wutuo people has never disappeared.
Now that the little Vulcan suddenly appeared, Nur Chijia was not surprised.
He immediately sent a message to Fei Ge in White Wolf City, informing him of the news that the Little Fire God had arrived at Xifeng Castle. He knew that Qifushan Khan would be ecstatic if he knew the news.
If you can serve the little fire god comfortably, then it is equivalent to having a relationship with the fire god. In one word, the fire god is even more useful than the Khan of Heaven in Wutuo.
Nur Chijia was in excitement the whole day.
He gave up his residence to the little Vulcan and personally served as the little Vulcan's bodyguard.
Although he was just a little Burke, Nur Chijia used his best ability to win the favor of the little Vulcan. The table in the hall was filled with all kinds of fruits, wine and dishes, and he even carefully found two young people.
The girl went in to accompany the little Vulcan.
He considered that the little fire god was from the Tang Dynasty and had two girls, one was a beauty from Wutuo and the other was a girl from the Tang Dynasty.
To entertain the little Vulcan with the best things and the best girls, Nur Chijia did his best.
He believed that after Qifushan Khan received the news, he would definitely send someone to ask the little Vulcan to go to White Wolf City to entertain him. Before Qifushan Khan's people came to an end, what he had to do was to do his best to keep the little Vulcan.
He was very worried about the sudden departure of the little Vulcan. If he really wanted to leave, of course he couldn't stop him.
If you want to keep the little Vulcan, besides food, you can only use beauty.
A carriage stopped outside the door, and Nur Chijia hurriedly stepped forward. He saw the Bashi who had almost gouged out his own eyeballs before walking up quickly, saluted Nur Chijia, and whispered: "Uncle
Gram, I found a few more, but they were ordinary in appearance.
I don’t know if the little Vulcan can appreciate it.”
Bash is equivalent to the head catcher of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for the security of the castle, and is Nur Chijia's confidant.
Several girls got off the carriage, including two Hu girls, two Wutuo girls, and a Tang girl.
Nur Chijia glanced at it and frowned. Although these girls were all young, their appearance was really average. Even Nur Chijia himself couldn't look down on it. He whispered: "Aren't there any pretty ones?
The two I sent in before are pretty much the same, but these...are really not good enough."
"Burke, some of the beautiful women we found have impure bodies." Bash said: "These are all pure girls. It is already difficult to find beautiful pure girls."
Nur Chijia was a little helpless.
"Keep looking, you can have as many silver coins as you want." Nur Chijia whispered: "If you can't, you have to grab it. The people who beg Fu Shanhan haven't arrived yet, and food alone can't make the little Vulcan stay. If
If he wants to leave, how should we explain it to Qifushan Khan? Find him quickly."
Bash could only wave the girls to get in the car and continue to look for beauties in the bunker.
A man came out and said softly: "Master, the little Vulcan likes to steam lamb dipped in cheese and eats a lot."
"Hurry up and let the kitchen steam the lamb." Nur Chijia said: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
He walked lightly outside the hall and looked inside through the window. He saw two girls kneeling beside the little Vulcan. One of them was holding a wine jar to steam wine for the little Vulcan, and the other girl was helping to hold it.
Lamb.
Nur Chijia saw the little Vulcan feasting happily and looked happy. Then he felt relieved. He entered the hall and said cautiously: "Little Vulcan, we have sent someone to steam the lamb. It will be here soon."
"Thank you for your hard work, Burke." Qin Xiao's mouth was filled with oil and he said with a smile: "By the way, there seem to be many people in your house, all of them are your family members?"
"Little Vulcan, I have two wives and three children. I have arranged them elsewhere and will not disturb you." Nur Chijia said diligently: "The ones left in the house are the most capable ones.
The servants and old servants also sent them to other places."
"Oh?" Qin Xiao said, "You have more than a dozen people here, all of them slaves?"
"yes."
"It seems that your family's business is not small." Qin Xiao said: "Half of them are from the Western Regions, and they were all bought with money?"
"Little Vulcan, I'm just Burke from West Wind Castle. I don't have much silver." Nur Chijia smiled and said: "Half of the slaves here are rewards, and some are gifts from friends. In fact, the price of slaves is also
Not low, strong slaves and beautiful female slaves are both valuable."
Qin Xiao sighed: "Burke, there is something I didn't want to say, but... you are kind to me, and I want to help you. I don't know if you are willing to listen."
"Yes, yes," Nur Chijia said hurriedly: "Little Vulcan, please tell me!"
"Master actually dislikes slaves." Qin Xiao said: "I know this is the custom of the Wutuo people, but Master said that those slaves are also human beings and have parents and relatives. It is unreasonable to be slaves to others. You should not
You know, once Master saw a nobleman whipping a slave, and the old man took off the nobleman's head that night."
Nur Chijia's face changed slightly, and Qin Xiao already smiled and said: "But you didn't beat the slaves, so don't worry too much. But...if Master knew that you had so many slaves in your home, he probably wouldn't be too happy."
"Little Vulcan, what do you think we should do?" Nur Chijia asked hurriedly.
Qin Xiao said: "If it is
I will give them freedom, especially those who are older. I will give each of them some money and let them go back to their hometown. As for the young ones, if they are willing to stay, you will pay them wages. If they are not willing to stay, you will also pay them.
They are free. Of course, this is my personal suggestion. Whether you want it or not is up to you. But if you really want to do it, I will see the Master and talk to him about it. He will definitely be very happy.
"
Nur Chijia immediately said: "Little Vulcan, don't worry, I will do this right away and no more slaves will be left behind."
"Master will be very happy if he knows." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Nur Chijia looked at the two girls and asked: "Little Vulcan, I don't know about these two women...!"
"Very good!" Qin Xiao nodded: "Master Burke, have you heard about the things I asked you to inquire about?"
"The Little Fire God is talking about the Longhe caravan from Xiling?" Nur Chijia said: "Just as I was about to report the matter to the Little Fire God, at noon, a caravan entered the earthen fort and sent someone to inquire.
It is the Longhe caravan, but there is no room for an inn in Xifeng Castle, so they rented a residential house to settle temporarily." He asked, "Why did the little Vulcan inquire about this caravan?"
"You don't know something. Master and I once went to Xiling. When we had dinner that time, we didn't bring any money to pay the bill. A man named Tian happened to pay the money for us." Qin Xiao said: "It is said that the caravan might
You are coming to Xifeng Castle, so I will ask you to inquire about it. Master must repay a favor, and if the man named Tian also comes, I will just treat him to a meal to repay the kindness last time."
Nur Chijia praised: "The God of Fire is really amazing. He even keeps such a small kindness in his heart. Little God of Fire, I will send someone to inquire again to see if there is anyone named Tian. If there is such a person, I will ask him
Come here to see you."
"No need." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Burke, when I came down the mountain, Master repeatedly told me not to be too ostentatious and make it known to everyone. If you recognize me, you have already made it difficult for me. If you let others
It’s really not good to see me here.”
"That's right." Nur Chijia said hurriedly: "I didn't think well, damn it. The identity of the little Vulcan must be kept secret and not let too many people know."
Qin Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Besides, the person named Tian is my benefactor, so I should go see him. You can help me find out their location, and I will just find a chance to take a look."
"Understood." Nur Chijia said: "I will send someone to inquire now." Just as he was about to retreat, Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Burke, wait a moment!"
"Do you have any other instructions from the little Vulcan?"
"How many years have you been at Zephyr Castle?"
"It's been four years," Nur Chijia said.
Qin Xiaodao: "You are very thoughtful and smart, why are you just a Burke? Your talents are outstanding and you should be promoted."
Nur Chijia immediately burst into tears of gratitude. If he met a close friend, he sighed: "Little Fire God, I come from a small tribe, and I am very satisfied to be able to sit in this position."
"Master said that in order for the Khanate to be strong, it must use outstanding talents." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "I think you are the talent that Master said. People like you should be able to do greater things. It's just that in
This little earthen castle is simply burying talents." He lowered his head, deliberately pondered for a while, and then said: "I will write down your story and find an opportunity to talk to Master."
"Thank you, little Vulcan!" Nur Chijia knelt on the ground.
"Remember, don't spread these words of Master." Qin Xiao said: "Low-key, keep a low-key!"
