"Brother Dazan, this is the village that was awarded to you by the clan leader, and the land outside and the farmers here are all yours. How about it, are you satisfied?"
The messenger took Qin Shaoyou and others to Zhuangzi, which was rewarded by Urvo. While introducing him with a smile, he ordered people to hand over the land deed, body deed and other documents to Qin Shaoyou.
This Zhuangzi is only thirty or forty miles away from the Qingtang Royal City. If you hurry up, you can reach the Royal City in no time. Ulvo settled these more than a thousand soldiers here, and his intention was obvious.
Qin Shaoyou looked at Zhuangzi. It was not small in scale. He followed the example of the Xia Kingdom's Wubao and built tall courtyard walls and arrow towers, not only to guard against wild beasts, demons and ghosts, but also to guard against attacks from other tribes.
In Qingtang, conflicts between various tribes occurred from time to time. Even near the royal city, there were many armed fights.
In the past, when the old Qingtang King was here, he issued repeated orders and severe punishments, which reduced the bloody conflicts between the tribes.
But now that the old King Qingtang is dead, and the seventh prince Rikander has experienced a major defeat in the Xia Kingdom, the conflicts between the various tribes that have been forcibly suppressed may break out at some point.
Therefore, in the past few days, the well-informed noble leaders near the royal city began to strengthen the walls of the castle to prevent riots.
Urvo left the leader of Dazan behind, not only to serve the seventh prince Zikander, but also to strengthen his own strength. Once chaos really breaks out, the more strength he has, the more benefits he can reap.
In front of the messenger, Qin Shaoyou pretended to be moved to tears, took the messenger's hand, and said excitedly: "To be honest, brother, I have never seen such a luxurious Zhuangzi in my whole life. I am very I am satisfied, and I would like to ask my brother to express my gratitude to the clan leader on my behalf. I, Dazan, am willing to die for the clan leader’s sake.”
The messenger liked his appearance, which he had never seen before, and said with a smile: "I'm relieved if you like it. I will help you convey these words of yours to the clan leader... Hey, what do you mean?"
While the messenger was talking, he saw a servant with a sinister look put a cowhide bag into the hands of 'Dazan'. Immediately afterwards, the cowhide bag was stuffed into him by 'Dazan'.
Without looking, just by feeling, the messenger knew that this was a bag of gold and silver.
He was very satisfied with the weight of these gold and silver in his heart, but he still pretended to refuse it in his hands.
Qin Shaoyou didn't understand. He was a bitch and wanted to build a memorial arch. He immediately said: "I know that I said a lot of good things to me in front of the clan leader. I am an upright man and don't want anything in return, but I can't help but repay the favor." . It’s just that this time I set out with the army to the Xia Kingdom, I didn’t bring any good things with me. When I was in the Xia Kingdom, I found some good things. Unfortunately, when I transferred to the Xia Kingdom later, in order to maintain the marching speed, I gave away all these good things. I left them behind, and there are only these yellow and white things on me. I know, brother, you don’t like these vulgar things, and you think they will dirty your hands. But this is my intention, and I hope that brother You can give me a face and take them down."
"This... well, since you have said it, brother, I will reluctantly accept it." The messenger was satisfied and quickly put the bag of gold and silver into his arms, and then looked at Qin Shaoyou, the more satisfied he became.
Qin Qiaoer on the side was dumbfounded and couldn't help thinking: How come my little brother is so good at bribery? Did you take too many bribes in the past? Or did you pay too many bribes?
After receiving Qin Shaoyou's gold and silver, the messenger also revealed some news to him: "Brother, while you are living in Zhuangzi, don't waste your military equipment and training. After a while, the Seventh Prince and the clan leader will be able to use it. Your place. If you can make more meritorious deeds, get promoted and make a fortune, or grow your tribe, it won’t be a problem. When you have free time, go to the royal city more often and familiarize yourself with the terrain in advance, but don’t let others know your intentions."
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but guess that the seventh prince of Qingtang was planning to attack the tribe that disobeyed him?
That's right, those tribes had been submissive to him before, but now that he was defeated, they might have changed from being submissive to outright disobedience. Regardless of whether the Seventh Prince of Qingtang or the old King of Qingtang seizes the house, he will not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, eliminating dissidents has become a top priority.
Qin Shaoyou immediately patted his chest and vowed: "Thank you for reminding me, brother. I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of brother, the patriarch and the seventh prince, and I will definitely make more meritorious deeds!"
It's just that the meritorious service I want to make is for Daxia, not Qingtang...
The messenger accompanied Qin Shaoyou around the Zhuangzi, and called the housekeeper, servants and farmers out to meet their new master. Then he declined Qin Shaoyou's invitation to stay for a drink, left the Zhuangzi with his servants, and returned to Qingtang Royal City. , to return to Urvo.
Qin Shaoyou sent them far away, showing great reluctance, until they could no longer see their backs, then he turned around and walked towards Zhuangzi.
Cui Youyou came up to Qin Shaoyou at this time, walked to Qin Shaoyou's side, first quietly cast a soundproofing spell, and then reported: "Sir, we just checked secretly and found several places to monitor witchcraft in Zhuangzi. trace."
"The Sword Comes"
Qin Shaoyou was not surprised at all by this situation.
If Zhuangzi didn't have these methods, it would be called weird.
After thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Don't use those surveillance witchcrafts yet, so as not to alert the snake. In this village, in addition to surveillance witchcrafts, there must be spies among the farmers and servants. Remind us to be careful. , use code words and codes to communicate if there is anything, and don’t miss any loopholes. As for the Qingtang barbarians who came with us, let’s ignore them.”
"Yes." Cui Youshen nodded slightly to express his understanding.
At the same time, in Qingtang King City, Urvo met the seventh prince Rikander after waiting for a while.
Zikander's face was not very good, he looked a little tired, and his body exuded a strong herbal smell.
When Ulvo saw him, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Seventh Prince, your injury is not healed yet?"
Zikander waved his hand, signaling Urvo not to be nervous.
"It's almost healed. The great witch said that the dangerous period has passed. Now I only need to take medicine and apply it every day to keep my body well."
Ulvo breathed a sigh of relief: "God bless, this is the best news for our Qingtang."
In fact, Urvo, as his close confidant, did not know exactly what kind of injury Rikander suffered. He only thought that he suffered something while being chased by the Xia people in the battle under the Qingtang Acropolis. hurt.
Since Zikander said that his injuries were fine, Urvo felt relieved and immediately reported to him about the 'Dazantou'.
After listening patiently, Zikander asked, "Have you investigated this Dazan?"
"After investigation, we found that he is a small-headed man from our Feixiong tribe. He has a bold personality and can be called loyal. This time he was able to gather back more than a thousand soldiers in the midst of a great defeat. With his bold and loyal character, It has a lot to do with it. According to the news I sent people to inquire about, the reason why the soldiers who were recruited by him were willing to follow him instead of returning to their own tribes was because he was a righteous person and was sincerely good to the soldiers. There were even some Some of the soldiers were entrusted to Dazan by their leader and clan leader before they died..."
Urvo reported the information he had investigated to Zikander.
After hearing this, Rikander pondered for a moment and ordered: "Since there is really no problem with this Dazan, bring him to see me. In addition, you send some people to fetch Dazan's wife and children and let them The reunion also allows us to have a few hostages in our hands.”
"yes."
Urvo accepted the order, discussed some other matters with Rikander, and then left.
After he left, Urvo looked into the darkness next to him and ordered: "Go and check this Dazan to see if there is any problem with him. If so, kill his people and seize his soldiers. If not, I would not hesitate to give him fame and fortune."
There was no voice reply from the darkness, only a black shadow drifting away quickly.
