Tianhao smiled with clarity: "Do they want the deer people in my hands?"

Wu Peng nodded: "Yes! They are all very envious, but they are embarrassed to come to ask for it, so they publicly recommend me as their representative and come to discuss with you."

Tianhao's smile was very sunny: "Everyone is the same race. As long as the price is fair and reasonable, I will not refuse a normal exchange."

"I knew you would say that." The great master smiled and shook his head, as if he looked at a naughty but reluctant child who was reluctant to teach him a lesson: "Tell me the psychological price you can accept!"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Tianhao suddenly became joking, and he knew that the great master would not be angry.

"There is no need to say lies. If you change ten or even twenty, you change one. Others don't know, I don't know what you think?" Wu Peng glanced at Tian Hao with a angrily glance, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Tell me, how do you want to change it?"

"Two for one." Tianhao's answer was straightforward: "If you hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have given this price no matter what."

Wu Peng was surprised by such an exchange ratio. According to his original idea, even if he came forward, Tianhao would adjust the price to around 5 to 1, and the best situation would be three to 1.

The deer people are a valuable "good", especially the practice of conquering complete cities and villages through war and turning all the deer people in the city into prisoners. In the eyes of other tribes, it is equivalent to digging treasures and obtaining a large amount of money.

Everyone can grow cotton, and it is not difficult to spin. There are not many technical difficulties in weaving cotton thread into fabrics. The key lies in the last two processes. As long as the raw materials are sufficient and the deer people who are proficient in textiles can produce a large amount of cloth in a short period of time. In the northern land where civilization is not yet developed, it is equivalent to producing their own currency.

Not all deer people are skilled in weaving. Taking a village as an example, the only people who are truly skilled in technology and know the secrets are the leaders, priests and some women. It is not difficult to understand that men are busy with farming and hunting, and women have more advantages in weaving.

What's more, not all Lu villages have similar patterns. Cotton thread production determines the quantity of raw materials, and in the final analysis, the key lies in spinning thread. However, the Lu people are strictly guarding this secret. In the past thousands of years, even if they encounter heavy troops siege the city, the leader of the Lu tribe trapped in the city will still order the destruction of the multi-spinning spinning machine and kill the tribe who operates the machinery. In this way, even if the opponent wins the war and occupys the city, they still gain nothing.

A few years ago, Tianhao handed over the secret of spinning to Wu Peng.

Lu Qingxi is a rare excellent leader of the Lu clan. He rarely has a good person who is willing to offer everything for his friends. In the face of power and the tribe, he chose the former without hesitation. Naturally, the hundreds of thousands of people captured by Tianhao became very popular. In addition to the prisoners who had been sent to various newly built villages in the north, he deliberately left 100,000 people in Leijiao City to wait for inquiries from within the tribe.

If it were ten years ago, Tianhao would have shouted the price of "Ten to One" without blinking.

Now it’s different. Time has changed a lot, and technology is constantly being improved with the evolution of the barbarians. Including the cattle tribes, the northern barbarian tribes have little gap in textiles. They have overcome the problems caused by yield constraints in various ways. For example, using hemp instead of cotton, increasing the yield of cotton thread in crude form, etc. Strictly speaking, the quality of the cloth produced with rough raw materials is definitely not that good, but no one can deny that this is a piece of cloth. Even if it is rough, it can be made into clothes and worn on the body.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between "high-quality products" and "low-quality products".

Everyone wants excellent textile workers, but the price of "ten to one" is difficult to accept. In the current situation, it is more reasonable to change five to one or four to one.

Tianhao knew very well that neither the great master Wu Peng nor the two princes who were in competition would allow themselves to use this price to exchange population from other branches.

Doing so is not conducive to maintaining balance and weakens other branches too much.

On the other hand, if you refuse to exchange, it will only cause trouble for yourself. In this way, you will put the Lei Niu Division opposite to other Niu Divisions, making more patriarchs full of hostility towards you.

This matter cannot be delayed, it must be cut off the mess quickly and resolved as soon as possible... Taking into account all aspects of the situation, Tianhao finally decided on an extremely low price like "two for one" that was beyond Wu Peng's imagination.

"You are a great master. If someone asks me, you will say that this is the exchange price you asked me to give." Tianhao smiled enthusiastically. This smile was not fake at all, but came from the heart, full of respect.

An indescribable emotion rolled in Wu Peng's heart. His understanding of population is far less thorough than Tian Hao. Of course, it is not ruled out that he suddenly figured out the key at some point in the future... But so far, Wu Peng only saw Tian Hao's respect and protection for himself, and his dedication to willingly give up some of his interests and maintain the balance within the ethnic group.

"Leave this matter to me! You won't suffer any losses. It's yours, it must belong to you." His eyes were deep and bright.

Tianhao quickly stood up from the chair and bowed: "Thank you, Master."

"Sit down and say." Wu Peng looked at him with a smile: "The Second Prince hasn't made things difficult for you these days, right?"

Tianhao shook his head and smacked his lips: "He wants to marry my sister."

"Did you agree?" Wu Peng stared at him with an unpredictable expression.

"I can't make the decision in this matter." Tianhao's answer was somewhat unexpected to the national teacher: "I will not interfere with my sister's freedom of marriage. She has absolute autonomy in this matter - as long as she likes and is willing, any man can become my sister-in-law."

Wu Peng slowly frowned. He had imagined many possible situations, but never thought that Tianhao would deal with the problem in this way.

"Ahao, I think you should think about it carefully." The great master patiently advised: "The Second Highness is not an ordinary person. He is very optimistic about you and sincerely wants to marry you. He is now the princess, and he will be the queen of the cow clan in the future!"

"This is my sister's business." Tianhao's attitude was very firm: "I will not interfere with her choice."

"Okay! Let's talk about another thing, and it is the last thing I have to deal with when I come to Leijiao City this time." The great master did not continue this topic, and he looked at Tianhao with a smile.

Tianhao sat upright on the chair, his voice clear: "Please make clear instructions from the great master."

Wu Peng's wrinkled face showed a hint of embarrassment. He was obviously brewing emotions. After several seconds, he said slowly: "... Someone has fallen in love with you, please ask me to be a matchmaker."

Although he had already prepared himself, Tianhao was still surprised by the news. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Someone wants to be your wife." The Grand Master's voice became a little low, and it was obvious that he was holding back his laughter and a little teasing.

Tianhao answered almost immediately: "I have a wife, I'm already married."

"I know, but this is not the key to the problem." The great master waved his hand casually, and he tried to pretend to be as kind as possible and said: "We are all very clear about your situation, but... some things are not easy to refuse, at least I can't."

"It's hard to refuse?" Tianhao frowned, and he asked tentatively: "Or can't refuse?"

"This is a difficult problem for me." The great master raised his right hand and gently pressed his temples, his face full of troubles. "Personally, I really agree with this marriage. But I know your temper. You are not the kind of person who can be convinced with just a few words. Besides, I have seen Ayi, she is a good girl... It's really difficult for me to get stuck in the middle, it's really..."

"Wait!" Tianhao interrupted him: "Who asked you to be this media?"

"The daughter of the former king, Niu Yanfang, ranked third." Wu Peng was relieved when he said this.

Tianhao immediately remembered the young servant who had been staring at him at the reception banquet before: "Have she followed you?"

"Yes." Wu Peng nodded slightly.

"Let me handle this matter!" Tianhao made the decision.

"Then I will contact you and let people from other tribes come as soon as possible. Just follow the price you said, two for one." The great master felt a little guilty. He felt that this was the job that suited him and could also bring benefits to Tianhao.

"Thank you!" Tianhao stood up again to salute.

Everything that should be said was said, and Wu Peng finally felt relaxed. He looked at Tianhao and smiled with emotion: "Young is good! Young girls like you. Haha... Seize the opportunity well, this is your era."

Tianhao was so amused and laughed at by him. He was about to argue a few times when a sudden rush of footsteps came from outside.

After a moment, the door of the empty room was pushed open with force. The angry Yan Teeth rushed into the reception room, knelt on one knee in front of Tianhao, and panted and shouted repeatedly: "Your Highness...you...you go and have a look, something happened."

The great master and Tianhao focused their attention on him at the same time and asked in unison: "What's wrong?"

"Someone rushed into the harem, and the other party claimed to be the princess." Yanqi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "She was going to kill the mistress, and what did she say is your true wife."

...

The palace in Leijiao City is not large in size, with no inner walls and no complicated palaces that are given many functions. In addition to the office area located on the front of the palace, there are six rooms located on the back, collectively known as the "harem".

The open space outside the corridor on the east side of the bedroom was crowded with people. It was divided into two parts, with a distance of about five meters wide in the middle.

Hundreds of members of the palace guards lined up in two rows according to the combat mode. The guards in the front row held round shields and sabres, and the back row was long spears. There was a crossbowman in the middle of each two, and all weapons were pointed to the opposite side.

Ayi was surrounded by several armed maids and stood behind the guards. She looked pale, her hands were clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth tightly. The expression on her face was obviously afraid, but she was more nervous.

There were only a dozen people on the other side, and the weapon configuration was relatively simple. There were only arm shields and swords with low protection capabilities. Judging from the armor and clothing styles, it obviously did not belong to the Thunder Corner, but was a group of outsiders.

Niu Yanfang has taken off her previous guard uniform and changed into a brand new set of women's clothing for the Niu tribe. This is a popular style in the aristocratic circle, which is convenient for movement and exquisitely cut, but it is expensive and difficult for ordinary people to care about.

"Roar over and kill her!"

"You damn stinky woman, don't pee and see what you are. Just your waist that is as thin as a stinger, a man will break it by pinching it, without a breast or butt, and he will be embarrassed to be the leader's wife like a skinny dog? If you just find a stone to kill it, you won't be embarrassed."

"Hey, you guys, I'm talking about you, just standing next to that bitch. Listen carefully, I'm the third princess Niu Yanfang. I'm now ordering you in the name of the previous king-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She cursed, as if an angry female beast. The screams made her scalp numb, and the identity of the "Three Princess" was indeed frightening. Ayi's guard members looked at each other instinctively, and they swept around Ayi and Niu Yanfang with suspicious eyes. To be honest, it is difficult to make a choice at this time, after all, both sides are big figures that they can't afford to offend. But in the final analysis, the guard is under the Lei Niu Ministry and is assigned by Tianhao himself. They can only obey orders. At least before the young patriarch arrives, they firmly form a line of defense and prevent Niu Yanfang from stomping her feet and yelling and cursing each other from rushing over.

"Bitch!"

"Sweet arm!"

"Shameless bad woman, how dare you rob a man from me? I must dig out your eyes, cut off your tongue, stuff it in from your butt with a stone, throw it on the mountain to feed the wild dog!"

The yelling and scolding were like thunder, and the dirty content was unpleasant.

Ayi was so angry that she trembled all over, but she couldn't find any words to scold Niu Yanfang.

The other party’s identity is so noble, she is the real princess.

Ayi never expected that such a thing would happen no matter what.

A group of outsiders rushed into the bedroom. Ayi was lying on the bed and was taking a nap. She heard a quarrel coming from the corridor, and the metal clanging unique to the collision of weapons was accompanied by weapons, so she jumped out of the bed and left the room through the side door. As soon as she ran outside, she was stopped by several outsiders who were fully armed in the open space. Fortunately, a team of palace patrol soldiers arrived in time, which led to the advantage of the number of people and protected herself in the middle.

Ayi swore that she had never seen Niu Yanfang before, let alone had a conflict with her.

The woman pointed at herself and scolded her like crazy, saying that she was the real wife of the patriarch, and ordered herself to get out of the palace immediately and give up her current position.

Ayi found it incredible.

She had seen many jealousy between men and women, but she never thought that such a thing would happen to her.
