Early on the next morning, all the men, women, and children of the Tianyun tribe got up early. They stood neatly in front of the tent, and their eyes fell on the tribesmen who went to the Mark Empire to pay taxes. There was a hint of complexity in their eyes. Look, this is a small tribe, and their annual harvest is not very good. In order to make ends meet, the strongest members of the tribe have to risk their lives to hunt, just to get more food rations.
Those ten or so carts were loaded with food, which was 40% of the Tianyun tribe’s annual harvest. All of them had to be paid to the Makna Empire. This was something that the lower tribe members had to do. Since they were from the lower tribe and had a low status, Naturally, we have to provide food rations for those superior clansmen.
When Xiang Tianci got up, the eyes of many tribesmen standing outside fell on him, as if hoping that he could bring luck to the tribe.
Although he has not lived in the Tianyun tribe for a long time, the people of the Tianyun tribe are all honest and enthusiastic, which makes Xiang Tianci feel warm in his heart. For this simple race, Xiang Tianci also has to complete the tasks within the tribe.
The Great Elder looked serious and stood in front of Xiang Tianci in a full dress. His face showed a solemn expression and he said to Xiang Tianci, "Sir, this is the harvest of the whole clan in a year. In addition to leaving behind the necessary things for the life of the clan, , everything has been handed in, but there are still some shortcomings, and the mission of Mark's empire has not been completed. I leave this matter to you," the great elder said to him in a very sincere tone with a look of embarrassment on his face. .
Xiang Tianci glanced at the large and small packages in the car, and felt extremely unhappy. The taxes from Mark's empire were too heavy, and there were many children in the Tianyun tribe. These children did not have enough to eat every day and suffered from hunger. , the food they contributed was given to those high-ranking princes and nobles. They were not grateful at all. They did not behave like adults towards these lower tribesmen, and would kill them if they were slightly displeased.
There was a hint of determination in Xiang Tianci's eyes. He waved his hand and said to the elder, "Elder, there are still many children in the clan who don't have enough to eat. I will keep these rations. I will go to the emperor of the Makna Empire to reason with me."
The little princess laughed coldly and said to Xiang Tianci, "You have a simple idea. If you fail to meet the tax limit, the Tianyun clan will probably cease to exist in the future."
The Great Elder was also aware of the regulations of the Makna Empire. At first, there was a race that did not meet the tax quota. In the end, the entire race was exiled. Later, only a dozen people were left alive, and they were almost exterminated.
The great elder hurriedly said, "Sir, this is absolutely impossible. You don't know the rules of Mark's empire, but I know very well that the laws of the empire stipulate that anyone who fails to complete the annual tax collection task will be fined twice as much in the coming year. If it is not completed, the entire clan will be exiled. Sir, please don’t make fun of the Tianyun clan,"
Xiang Tianci smiled and said to the elder, "Elder, when have I ever made fun of my clan members? I am also a member of the Tianyun clan. You see, I still have the clan seal of the Tianyun clan on my forehead. , I will always consider the Tianyun clan,"
Speaking of the family seal, the elder looked towards Xiang Tianci's forehead, with an embarrassed smile on his face. He had left a mark on the forehead of this transcendent and powerful man out of ignorance. If the other party was disgusted, he would probably A hundred of myself also died.
Louise consoled her, "Elder, my lord has never betrayed you. Don't worry. Since my lord says there is no need for taxes, then there is no need. He will definitely handle the matter." "
Seeing Louise saying so confidently, the First Elder could only nod his head, but he was sweating in his heart. If anything went wrong in this matter, the entire clan would suffer.
"Ancona, Cuiyun, you two went to the Makna Empire, you two go with me. Great Elder, I will go now, you can wait for our good news in the clan," Xiang Tianci hugged his fist, took the lead and walked out of the tribe.
When the great elder heard this, the surrounding tribesmen all saw off Xiang Tianci and others.
The little princess stuck out her tongue and treated Xiang Tianci's words as if he was bragging. There are countless powerful men in Mark's empire. How could they not tax the Tianyun clan just because of him? She could do it right away. I went back, feeling very happy. Following Louise, I unconsciously sped up a bit.
Xiang Tianci glanced at the little princess and said, "Little princess, we are not close to Mark's empire. If we keep going like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there next year."
The little princess said, "You are one of us who is exiled to the mainland. You don't even know this bit of common sense. With the qualifications of the people below, you won't be able to reach Mark's empire in two years, not to mention one year."
Cuiyun explained at the side, "Sir, every year at this time, the Markna Empire will have special tax envoys. Their task is to bring the people of the 108 tribes to the Markna Empire. When they go there, they will pay taxes of each tribe one by one. , if it is completed, these people can be sent back safely. If it is not completed, the clan members will be detained in the empire. Every time they pay taxes, they must be the clan leader of the clan, otherwise, the empire will not accept them. of,"
Xiang Tianci nodded and said, "Then when we go this time, the clan leader didn't follow us."
Cuiyun smiled and said, "The patriarch didn't follow us, but the patriarch's son went with us."
Xiang Tianci glanced at Ancona, suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "It turns out that it's Brother Ancona. Do I feel a little abnormal? Why was it that when I entered the Tianyun Clan, Brother Ancona recommended me and passed? It turns out that Brother Ancona is the son of the clan leader." ,Ha ha..."
Ancona's face was a little embarrassed, he laughed, and said to Xiang Tianci, "Sir, please don't laugh at me. I am afraid that few people in the exiled continent can compare with your strength. You are not always a guest wherever you go. "I feel wronged by being introduced to the Tianyun Clan, sir," Ancona is honest and loyal. What he said is indeed true. With Xiang Tianci's ability to dominate the Great Perfection, no matter where he goes, he is treated like a guest, even in the Makna Empire. , that is also the Knight of Nine Stars.
The little princess pouted and interjected, "You three, stop talking nonsense. Tsk, is he really that powerful? I don't believe it. When you get to Mark's empire, let's see how I teach you a lesson. I I must let you know how powerful the Imperial Knights are,"
"Humph," the little princess said angrily, "Originally, I came to the lower tribe this time to find some qualified subordinates to test the knight qualifications, but you messed up all of them, which made me mad."
Xiang Tianci smiled and said, "Little princess, why are you looking for the knight?"
The little princess said casually, "Why, let's go to war and expand the knights." When the little princess said this, she quickly covered her mouth, stared at Xiang Tianci, and continued, "Don't spread this matter, otherwise, my father will
The king will definitely kill you,"
Xiang Tianci said, "Okay, I will never tell anyone else about this. Just tell me what it is about."
The little princess said, "Actually, I don't know exactly what happened. My father thinks that I am too weak. It's not time for me to intervene in these matters. I just heard that the empire wants to take action against the barbarians who are exiled in the southeast of the mainland. Those barbarians
The clan has been very arrogant recently, even going against me, the Mark Empire, and my father said that he wants to break out of the Exile Continent and see the outside world."
Hearing this, Xiang Tianci was shocked and said, "Your father is going to the outside world."
The little princess blinked and looked at Xiang Tianci curiously and said, "Yes, what's wrong? My father has been working hard, just hoping that one day, the empire's army and the people of the empire can go outside and get out of the exile continent.
,"
Xiang Tianci had a little more admiration for the emperor that the little princess spoke of. This emperor of the Markna Empire actually had serious business, and worked hard just to one day be able to get out of the exile continent. This fact is worthy of admiration.
The little princess glanced at him with a sneer and said, "Okay, let's hurry up. At this time, other tribesmen have already arrived. If it's later, the empire's spaceship will leave. If you can't catch up, you will be in trouble."
After the little princess finished speaking, she moved her feet and ran towards the distance.
Xiang Tianci was very interested in what the little princess said. If this was true, then the emperor of the Mark Empire was really a wise and mighty emperor.
Xiang Tianci became more interested in Mark's empire and said to the little princess, "Okay, little princess, come back. I will take you with me. It will be much faster than your empire's spaceship."
The little princess stopped. She knew clearly that the other party did not kill her or make things difficult for her, and he would not do it now. She asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Xiang Tianci's eyebrows moved. The domain space surrounded several people. His feet moved like an arrow from a string. The Mark Empire was to the west. When Xiang Tianci was in the Tianyun Clan, he was facing
