Section 223 Exchange Concept

The road from the bottom of the city to the top of the city wall is not long, and you can easily walk. The deputy envoy felt that he had no strength on his body. His face was pale and his teeth were uncontrollably fighting fiercely. Seeing him slumped on the ground like mud, his teeth frowned, and without saying a word, he reached out to grab the back collar of his clothes, and like an adult pulling a disobedient child, dragging him to Tianhao.

The scene of a group of black howling wolves eating around the corpse was extremely bloody, and the shocking scene was permanently frozen in the eyes of the deputy commander. He opened his mouth and stared blankly at the beasts that feasted and didn't even raise their heads. From the gaps they crowded with each other, a head was occasionally revealed.

Hundreds of fully armed pig warriors were surrounded by the surroundings. They were wearing heavy black armor and had steel spikes on both sides of the shoulders, which were very sharp. It was not just for defensive purposes. Although the weapon was a long-handled sword, its size and weight were not ordinary styles, with a length of more than two meters. The wide and thick back of the knife released a heart-wrenching heavy weight.

There was a stern slaughter around, and even the air seemed to solidify.

Broken teeth roared fiercely from behind: "Kneel down and kowtow to the city lord!"

Tianhao had no interest in this set of oppressive etiquette that demonstrated his identity, but now it is not the era of civilization, and it is not rational to destroy the rules of behavior in the era of barbarism. He stared at the deputy envoy who knelt on the ground and gave him great gifts, and said lightly: "Yu Zheng is a liar. Go back and tell you the king, let him put his eyes on the highlights in the future and don't send anyone out casually. Forget it this time, I won't be the case."

fraud?

The princess's younger brother was actually called a liar!

This matter was too funny and completely exceeded the normal logic of the deputy envoy. He felt that his mind was not enough, so he knelt on the ground for a long time and couldn't speak. Until he glanced at the fragments of the animal skin roll scattered beside him and the scattered words on it, the whole thing was connected in his mind, and he suddenly realized it.

The deputy envoy knew that Yu Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to fill his pockets, and in the name of the King of the Ferocious Bull, he forcibly exchanged more pig captives from Panshi City. This kind of thing must be approved by the upper-level personnel in the entire envoy, at least with tacit approval, so that it can be carried out. Yu Zheng bribed several people, including the Deputy Envoy. His identity was there, the princess was a celebrity around the King of the Ferocious Bull, and there was no need to offend the princess for a guy who was inflated with selfishness, let alone Yu Zheng promised to give everyone a great gift after the matter was completed. Although he did not say what it was, everyone was happy to be a favor.

Unexpectedly, he died, and was torn to pieces by a group of ferocious beasts and swallowed them little by little.

The Lord of Panshi City lifted all the disguises and directly pointed out that Yu Zheng was a liar.

The deputy envoy wanted to deny it very much, but he knew that nothing was useful to say now. This is someone else's territory. Even Yu Zheng's fate is like this, so why should he anger this cold-faced young man for a corpse?

"Replacing the population is your Majesty's order. As long as it is fair and reasonable, I will never refuse normal requests." Tianhao's voice was mixed with majesty and coldness: "Look at these people outside the city. If it weren't for the sake of everyone being the same tribe, I would now order to kill all of you, and not leave any one."

The deputy envoy was already scared and a bloody lesson was placed in front of him. He had no courage to refute and resist. He threw himself at Tianhao's feet and begged repeatedly: "This is not what I mean, I just acted on order."

Tianhao sarcastically said in an understatement: "My wolf is full, and I have no interest in useless waste like you. Leave those thousand gifts, as well as all the old men, women, and children outside the city. As for you, and the guards around you, leave my territory now. Go back and tell your king that you have to take advantage of me, and you have to take the corresponding strength. If I stayed these people, I will treat them as he sent a liar to offend my majesty and must pay for compensation. Panshi City welcomes every friend who treats me sincerely. The guy with ulterior motives has no place here. If your king wants to exchange prisoners, he must show sincerity, rather than coaxing it out like now. Otherwise, I don't mind making bone bowls with his head and becoming part of my collection."

The deputy envoy felt that there must be something wrong with his ears.

Although they are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are more than 10,000 civilians after all, and they are directly classified as "compensation" by the young city lord. This... this fact is incredible and completely subverts the logical view of the deputy envoy.

But what if you refuse to accept it?

Yu Zheng is already dead. Should I be brave enough to anger the Lord of Panshi City and end up with the same fate as him?

The deputy envoy left in shame.

This is a contest between big men. Only the King of the Fierce Bull can deal with this young city lord. No matter how angry the punishment from the king is to return to Fierce Point City, it is the only and a necessary choice.

...

Tens of thousands of people were crowded in the area outside the city, and it was impossible to have so-called quietness. Despite this, the elderly, weak, women and children who were snuggling each other to keep warm in cold weather still felt the vibration from the ground.

Thousands of fully armed pig warriors lined up in neat rows from the inside of the city gate. Their steps were neat, and gravel flew everywhere, dust and mud splattered everywhere, and nothing could stop them. Watching these fierce soldiers bypassed by the side and ran to the edge of the distant circle, and stood still, and surrounded all the immigrants from the fierce bull tribe, an irrepressible chill instantly rushed to the hearts of all the old and weak. They were crowded closer than before, and both women and the elderly pushed their children behind them, spreading their ragged clothes as much as possible, covering them tightly.

The woman's face showed a sad and desperate look, the old man's turbid eyes no longer flashed with light, and the few thin men in the team had a dull expression... Everything that happened in front of them was not unfamiliar to them, very familiar.

The weak have no right to survive in the tribe. The elderly and disabled are among the first abandoned team, followed by children who are malnourished and cannot survive in winter. In contrast, women are slightly more valuable because they are women after all, and they are women in front of men whose brains are controlled by desire, most of the time they don’t care about their appearance.

They were kicked out of their own homes, and the same encounters happened many times on one person. Without strength, it means no right to speak. From the city lord to the heads of ten people, you can kill you with your life in a casual sentence. Don’t think about words like “I built this house”. In front of the pretender with power, you can only serve it with both hands without conditions, and the other party firmly occupies the moral commanding heights. The king has the order. You must go to Panshi City now, and from now on, you will be a member of the Leiniu tribe.

Is there any difference between the Lei Niu Tribe and the Ferocious Niu Tribe?

It seems not.

A thin child struggled to poke his head out of his torn fur coat that blocked him, and looked at the world with his ignorant eyes. He was about six years old, and his long-term malnutrition caused serious imbalance in the proportion of his head and body. His huge head was supported by his very thin neck, as if it might fall from it at any time. The child swallowed his throat hard, looked at the pig warriors in the distance with fearful eyes, and asked carefully: "Mom, will they kill us?"

Killing people is not new in a tribe. When worshiping gods, you have to kill people, you have to kill people if you win a battle, and you have to kill people if you lose a battle. Even when you encounter all kinds of messy things that cannot be explained by common sense, you have to kill people. Every household uses dead heads and bones to decorate houses, just like wallpaper in the civilization era, craft flowers decorations, brilliant and beautiful ceiling hanging lamps, calligraphy and painting art made by famous artists...

His mother was also thin, and the poor woman pressed the child's shoulder hard, tremblingly covering him with a broken leather robe again. This is from the experience of many years ago. When there were too many dead people, as long as the child could hold his breath and be covered by thick and wide clothes, he would have the chance to escape from the slaughter.

This understanding cannot be said to be wrong.

The officials of the Fierce Bull Division who escorted him were already gone... No, it should be more appropriate to use "escape". Many people saw the strong pig warrior grabbing the deputy envoy's arm and throwing him out of the city like garbage. They felt that they were not satisfied, so they chased him and kicked him hard on the butt.

Is the Fierce Bull Tribe and the Thunder Bird going to war?

The most terrifying thing I imagined did not happen, a group of gentle and graceful bulls appeared. They had no whips, no sticks or swords in their hands. From the outside of the crowd, basically every ten people began to reorganize a team. As the teams were brought into the city by them, the atmosphere of fear that was wandering above the city gradually dissipated. The immigrants knew that their lives were no longer threatened, so they began to whisper, guess and think about their future path.

On the city wall, Tianhao slowly walked to Wu Peng and stood side by side, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Is this how you handle it?" The great master's tone was plain and he couldn't know what he was thinking.

"I killed a liar who faked the orders of the King of the Fierce Bulls." Tianhao was calm and peaceful, as if he was thinking, but his thinking was spreading in full swing: "I am the lord and lord appointed by His Majesty, and I have this right."

Wu Peng's eyes gradually drifted away. He stared at the fierce bulls who entered the city and arranged temporarily according to the squad. "Your Majesty's order is to replace prisoners, and you have not done this."

Tianhao raised his head and looked at the side face of the great master with a few strands of white hair floating, and said calmly: "The premise of exchange is fairness. If you can't do this, no one can get a pig man from me."

Wu Peng sighed softly: "If you do this, it is easy for people to take it as a handle. The reason why I came to Panshi City this time was to have a good talk with you. Those rumors spread very quickly, and you must make the king believe in your loyalty."

"Loyalty never needs to be spoken of." Tianhao's attitude was still tough: "I destroyed the entire Pig Clan, and I brought back a real king's head to His Majesty. I never thought of relying on military achievements to climb to a higher position. I worked hard to support the people in this city, and there was almost no time to rest."

Wu Peng turned around, a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes: "I know all this."

"But those people, what did they do?"

Tian Hao suddenly became furious and roared like a thunderous roar: "For decades, they have not been enterprising and have never taken the initiative to attack outside. Every winter in the tribe, people will die in the tribe. There is never enough food to eat. Why not think of a solution from the root? The royal database has so much knowledge left by ancestors. Does anyone think about taking the initiative to search and find a solution to the problem? I won't mention it anymore. Just say that I sent troops this time. In the early stage of the war, in order to keep the news secret, many cities and villages in the territory knew that I was fighting with the Pig people. Does anyone think about sending troops to help me? Does anyone ask if I need support?"

"No! Everyone was watching coldly. They were indifferent to the honor of the tribe, and no one was optimistic about the outcome of the war. They just wanted to enjoy the success. Whether we were victorious or defeated, they could get a piece of the pie and get the most benefits."

"When you win, a guy like the King of Fierce Bull jumped out and threw out a few old, weak, sick and disabled people, yelling that he had to change to a strong and powerful pig captive. Who did he think he was? He could speak up like a shameless word, and even issued a document stamped with his personal seal. Hahahaha... He is not a little bitch, he is a real tribal king! For a little profit, what is this kind of practice different from a beggar?"

"If I lose, they will not let me go either. Many eyes are staring at Panshi City. They will ask me to give up the city for various reasons, or use other methods to divide the civilians in the city. I have encountered this kind of thing many times before, and it was Panshi Village, not Panshi City. The greed of people's hearts will never end, and it will not be different depending on their status."

Wu Peng frowned slightly, then let go, showing a helpless smile: "It seems that you already know my attitude."

Tianhao did not deny: "So I killed Yu Zheng, he must die."

The smile on the face of the great master became a little unpredictable, and he shook his head slightly regretfully: "I don't object to your killing of Yu Zheng, as you said just now, he cheated on the name of the King of the Fierce Bulls. But no matter what, you shouldn't forcefully leave more than 10,000 people from the Fierce Bulls. Exchange of captives is Your Majesty's order, and no one can disobey."

"I didn't say no to change." Tianhao shrugged his shoulders, and a sneer mixed with indescribable evil: "It must be exchanged on a fair and just basis. As long as the King of the Fierce Bull shows sincerity, I agree with it."

"What are you going to do with these people?" Wu Peng raised his hand and pointed to the bustling square in the distance.

"They can choose to leave or join the Rock City." Tianhao smiled slightly: "It is not easy to get here from the Fierce Bull Tribe. If you don't want to die on the road, there is only a second option. Instead of leaving a bunch of corpses on the road, it's better to let me take care of their life needs during this period."
