Perhaps Shuli didn't even realize that it was just her whim that left an indelible mark on Yan Dan's heart.
But at this time, Shuli was still giving Li Mu a shoulder blow.
"Why are you going to the grassland?"
Shu Li shook her shoulders and said coquettishly, "That's right."
Is it possible that I should tell my eldest father that I am curious about the Moon Wolf Tribe?
While listening to Mr. Chang'an's introduction to grassland business, I happened to hear about the business of wolfsbane flower and wolfsbane grass.
A few years ago, Duke Xiang of Qin was shot by a wolf poison arrow (Note: Source: "The Great Qin Empire") when he led his army to fight with the state of Wei and died.
Furthermore, Fusu, who was sent to the border by Brother Zheng, was also poisoned by wolf poison, forcing Meng Tian to set out with his cronies to find the antidote.
The most curious thing is the wolf girl from [Moon Wolf Descendants].
The tribe where the wolf girl belonged was rescued by Touman when they were running out of ammunition and food, so they became Touman's slaves.
For the sake of [Moon Wolf Descendants], the wolf girl Nuomin was forced to work for Touman.
Shu Li felt that there was a lot of room for manipulation. If it succeeded, the threat to the northern grasslands would be permanently resolved.
"The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind, and the cattle and sheep are low. The boundless grassland and the billowing clouds are very attractive." Shu Li said.
"Then you know that when the wind tornado in the grassland strikes, the clouds and the cattle and sheep will no longer exist." Li Mu pulled Shuli in front of him and stared into Shuli's eyes.
My good granddaughter has learned to lie, which is not a good sign.
He sent Shuli to Guigu to learn from his master and live up to her extraordinary talent.
"Well" Shuli didn't dare to look directly into her elder father's eyes, her eyes were a little wandering.
Her intuition told her that her eldest father had seen through her clumsy lie.
"Okay, Dad, I actually want to find a wolf tribe named [Descendants of the Moon Wolf]." Shuli explained honestly.
After Li Mu asked Shu Li to sit down, he searched for relevant information about [Descendants of the Moon Wolf] and asked: "Why are you looking for them? I remember. You also asked me about this tribe when you were young."
"It's just that I'm a little curious." Shuli said thoughtfully. After all, it was just a whim.
Of course, the confidence to support her whim is the cultivation of half-step Hedao. In this world, Shuli can almost walk sideways.
"The [Moon Wolf Descendants] are the most unique tribe in the entire wolf tribe. They have lived in the north for generations, where wolf poison flowers grow everywhere, and they are extremely good at refining wolf poison. Although they are a branch of the wolf tribe, they are
He is almost unpopular with the entire wolf clan." Li Mu recalled all the information about [Descendants of the Moon Wolf], but he also knew very little.
In his half-life of fighting against the wolf tribe, Li Mu had rarely encountered the [Descendant of the Moon Wolf].
Because they are too far away from the Central Plains, they will hardly participate in the disputes within the wolf tribe. The other wolf tribes rarely provoke them because they are not adapted to their living environment and are afraid of the wolf poison in their hands.
Li Mu wondered why Shu Li was only curious about this wolf tribe. Even though they were unique, they were definitely not the strongest.
Shuli spread her hands and said, "Well, it's just an indescribable curiosity. Long cough, the fake father told me that his caravan traveled through almost the entire grassland before he found the [Descendant of the Moon Wolf].
The wolf tribe, and this tribe, regardless of gender, old or young, looks at the caravan with inexplicable vigilance and preparedness, even though the caravan is almost all ordinary people, and they have not revealed anything that threatens them."
"Most people from the northern wolf clan are like this. Due to their living environment, they are like a pack of wolves. Even when facing weak rabbits, they still maintain a high degree of vigilance."
"But that wolf tribe is more wary of outsiders. The caravan has never actually gone to the place where they live. All transactions are agreed at a certain place. So, I am quite curious about what kind of tribe this is."
Shu Li said while looking at her eldest father.

Dividing line---
"How is it? General Li Mu agrees?" Chang'an Jun saw Shu Li's arrival and quickly sat up and asked.
"Uh" Shuli scratched her face.
Chang'an Jun asked Shu Li to ask Li Mu whether the caravans entering and leaving the grassland could secretly resell some important strategic materials such as salt and iron.
Although in the past, the caravans that came and went from the grasslands were more or less engaged in the business of reselling salt and iron in order to make huge profits.
However, all countries have strict control over the flow of strategic materials into the grasslands. Once a businessman is discovered smuggling salt, iron and other materials privately, all they will face is beheading.
All countries want to see a chaotic and weak grassland, not a grassland that is strong with smuggled salt and iron.
What's more, all merchants who dare to smuggle salt and iron need to pay huge fees to border officers, which accounts for almost half of the merchant's profits. This is something that greedy merchants have to endure.
Since Chang'an Jun almost monopolized the trade routes in the grassland, the amount of salt and iron smuggled into the grassland has been reduced by almost half.
This made the past prairie nobles a little anxious.
Iron is okay, this can be done slowly and not in a hurry, but without the inflow of salt, it will become a big problem.
Their little cubs, and they themselves, all depend on this little bit of salt to survive.
Therefore, the decrease in smuggled salt is also one of the most important reasons why the wolves moved south with great momentum this time.
Otherwise, with that little bit of virtue that makes you want to tuck your tail and keep silent in front of Li Mu, how dare you go south even though you know you can't defeat him?
Using the cover of the army's march south, the nobles of each tribe sent their envoys to contact Chang'an Jun's caravan, hoping to restart the previous private salt trade. They were willing to increase the price by 10%.
This is also one of the reasons why Lord Changan came to the Northland.
In the past, transactions with the grassland could only proceed smoothly after Li Mu nodded.
As for the caravans from the Yan Kingdom, although Chang'an Jun allowed them to continue trading as usual, he reduced the frequency. After all, the border troops took too much commission, and Chang'an Jun couldn't bear it.
Lord Chang'an has just begun to acquire the caravans on the northern border of Qin State.
But just because you have just started inside, it does not mean that you cannot break the situation from the outside.
Lord Chang'an asked the Hu merchants who were near the border of Qin to only trade with his caravans and not to trade with Qin merchants privately, otherwise their tribes would be destroyed.
The skill of driving away wolves and devouring tigers has been used frequently by Chang'an Jun in recent years.
But you still have to spend a lot of money on managing relationships.
And if Shu could open up the channels in General Li Mu's territory of Zhao State, with this relationship, Shu would not be wronging General Li Mu, but at least he would be able to earn more.
But after all, General Li Mu, who has lived in the north since he was a child, hates the wolves on the grassland with all his heart, and wishes that they could be completely exterminated and disappear, so Lord Chang'an is not very confident in convincing Lord Chang'an.
Therefore, Lord Chang'an asked Shuli, who was about to go to General Li Mu, to discuss the matter in front of General Li Mu.
But it was obvious that Shuli had forgotten this.
Looking at Shu Li's reaction, Chang'an Jun probably guessed that Shu Li had forgotten. He sighed heavily and said, "Oh, I still have to go and find General Li Mu myself." Chang'an Jun stood up.
, flicking his sleeves, "Alas, I really don't know if General Li Mu will agree to this, alas!"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'm sorry." Shuli apologized sincerely, "Let me go with you to find the eldest father again."
