The old man looked at betta calmly and said, ” “Betta, you should know our current situation. It’s a critical time now, and this merchant’s appearance is too strange. They just arrived at the camp today, so it’s normal for them to be honest. Could it be that all businessmen don’t have contact with others? So it’s normal for him to come into contact with people in a few days. If he still stays in his tent, it means that he’s hiding something, and we should be more careful. Do as I say. In addition, don’t put all your bets on him. Don’t cut off contact with the other merchants, we don’t mind having too much food.”
Betta finally understood what the old man meant. He nodded and said, ” “Yes, elder. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.” The old man nodded, and betta turned around and left.
The old man looked at the shaking curtain and sighed, ” “Your Highness, your choice is truly wrong. Is the herculean divine ox tribe really that easy to defeat? The bullfighting race asked for the help of the human race, sigh!”
The tent once again fell into silence, as heavy as the old man’s mood. Recently, due to the defeat of the herculean divine ox tribe, King XI Qi began to think of ways to please the bullfighting tribe. The first thing he did was to send the two princesses of the herculean divine ox tribe who had been married into his tribe as slaves. He had completely made them lose their dignity.
The old man didn’t agree with King Xiqi’s actions. The vigorous divine ox clan had helped King Xiqi a lot. Without the vigorous divine ox clan, King Xiqi wouldn’t be where he was today. Although the vigorous divine ox clan had helped King Xiqi to use King Xiqi to check and balance the bullfighting clan, you had to admit that they had indeed helped King Xiqi. And King Xiqi’s current actions didn’t seem like what a Beastman would do at all. He was more like an ungrateful human. And it was the kind of human that was despised by others.
In truth, many people in the tribe opposed King XI Qi’s actions, but in King XI Qi’s eyes, the herculean divine ox clan was already finished. Of their two Grand elders, one was dead and the other was injured. What hope did they have? Furthermore, they had lost their old camp and almost all of their property. Under such circumstances, they could only become a vassal race of the Mastiff clan. Let alone counterattacking, it was uncertain if they could even return to the ox-headed human clan in the future. Therefore, he decisively demoted the two princesses of the herculean divine ox clan to slaves.
Zhao Hai didn’t know about this yet. When he returned to the campsite, he ordered the undead creatures to unload the food from the truck and drive the truck away. At the same time, he also ordered them to take the evil spirit staff.
After doing all that, Zhao Hai returned to the tent. Laura and the rest had been following Zhao Hai. As soon as they entered the tent, Laura said, ” “Big brother hai, are you really going to sell food to King XI Qi?”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; really. Don’t forget that we are now businessmen. Of course, we can’t reveal any flaws. Besides, aren’t we here to do business? ” That’s right, from tomorrow onwards, you don’t need to stay in your tents anymore. Go around the camp and see if there are any special magic beasts. At that time, we can discuss with them and see if we can buy them.”
Lola nodded, then frowned and said, ” “Should we go and find out more about the second and third princesses?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, ” there’s no need to ask around. What you need to do now is to treat yourself as a real businessman. Don’t care about those things. You only need to do things for your own benefit. I don’t think I need to teach you this. By the way, you must pay attention to any special plants and magical beasts here. These are our Foundation. &Quot;
Laura smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, I don’t need you to teach me this. But they’re still monitoring us. It’s not appropriate for us to go out now, right? ”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; there’s nothing inappropriate about it. Don’t forget that we’re just merchants of the human race. Do human merchants not have any contact with the orcs? ” That won’t do.”
Laura also understood this, so she didn’t say anything. She just looked outside the tent and calmly said, ” “I don’t know how the second and third princesses are doing. They must be having a hard time now. I hope that King XI Qi is a person who knows how to repay kindness, otherwise their days will be even harder.”
It was getting late. After eating, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the origin space immediately. They had to pay attention to the undead creatures. Zhao Hai wanted the undead creatures to load their carriages with food and return after they left the Tauren territory. At the same time, they had to load the small carriages that he brought with him. Now, he had 100 large carriages, each of which could hold up to 5000 catties of food. One hundred carts would be five hundred thousand Jin, and he had more than one thousand small carts now. Each cart could hold two thousand Jin of grain, which was more than two million Jin. In this case, they could bring back nearly three million Jin of grain by car, which was not a small number.
If he wanted to leave the Tauren territory from King Siqi’s camp, the most direct way was to go straight to the ironwall fortress. This way, it would only take about six days to get out of the Tauren territory. For Zhao Hai, this time could be shortened to about three days. In other words, he could come and go in about six days, and this time, he could return three million catties of food.
A trip of three million catties meant that they could transport about fifteen million catties in a month. Although it was not up to the standard of thirty million catties, for Zhao Hai, this income was not small. In addition, he did not really want to sell all thirty million catties of grain to King XI Qi. Fifteen million catties was already good enough.
At night, Zhao Hai and the others went into the interspace to rest. They didn’t go to sleep immediately after entering the interspace. Instead, they asked Cai ‘er to play what he had recorded during the day on the screen.
Cai ‘er didn’t only record the things around their current tent. When Zhao Hai followed betta to the elder’s tent, the surveillance camera would also move, recording everything within two kilometers of Zhao Hai.
To Zhao Hai, this was a normal video recording function. However, to Laura and the others, it was really magical. They saw everything that happened when Zhao Hai went to the tent during the day. Even though they knew that it had already happened during the day, they still felt very nervous and excited.
Looking at them, Zhao Hai only smiled and didn’t say anything. This reminded Zhao Hai of the first time he watched television and played on the computer. It was similar to them.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai had been paying attention to everyone’s reactions along the way. Nothing special happened along the way. After all, he did not go too far into the camp. His position was only at the periphery of the camp.
Zhao Hai heard betta call the elder the Foreign Affairs elder. It seemed that the elder was the elder in charge of Foreign Affairs.
Therefore, it was not strange for this elder to set up his tent here. Outsiders who came to King xichi’s camp would not be immediately invited to the center of the camp. They would definitely be arranged to the periphery of the camp, just like Zhao Hai’s group. He set up his tent here for two reasons: first, it was convenient for him to contact outsiders like Zhao Hai’s group; second, it prevented those spies from entering the camp.
Zhao Hai had been paying close attention to the old man because he felt that the old man was extraordinary. He had a sense of wisdom that the orcs did not have. This feeling made Zhao Hai very vigilant.
Zhao Hai had been keeping an eye on the tent the whole time. After he came out, betta went back into the tent. At this time, the tent was still within the surveillance range of the surveillance camera. Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai immediately said to Cai ‘er,”Cai ‘er, can you change the image to the tent?”
“Yes,” Cai nodded. Then, the screen changed, and betta and the elder appeared on the screen. Zhao Hai and the others could hear their conversation clearly.
Hearing the elder’s words, Zhao Hai’s expression changed. He turned to Laura and said, ” “It seems like King XI Qi wants to join the bullfighting race. Laura, in the next few days, you must pay more attention to the news about the second and third princesses. King XI Qi wants to join the bullfighting race’s patriarch, so he definitely won’t be polite to the two princesses. However, don’t ask around, just listen.”
Laura and the others were already used to the magic of the surveillance cameras. Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, she immediately responded. Then, Laura said with a serious face, ” “I really didn’t expect King XI Qi to be such a person.”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. &Quot; if he wasn’t this kind of person, he wouldn’t have betrayed the bullfighting race’s patriarch. This is normal. I’ve already mentally prepared myself, but I didn’t expect him to not even care about his last bit of face. &Quot;
&Quot; this way, brother Wells will lose a great helper, ” Laura sighed. &Quot; this is a heavy blow to him. &Quot;
Zhao Hai laughed coldly, ” “It’s fine. We’ll take revenge. Our main focus is on the bullfighting tribe. I think there must be a lot of people talking about it in the camp, so we have to pay more attention. We also have to pay attention to the second and third princesses. See if they’re Dead or Alive. If they’re alive, look at their current living conditions. If not, we’ll find a way to save them and go find brother Weyers. We still have a month’s time anyway.”
Lola nodded and said, ” it seems like that’s the only way. We can’t count on King Siqi. I think we should let big brother think of another way. Oh, Brother hai, do you want to tell big brother Weyers about the situation here? ”
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; of course, we have to tell him. Otherwise, if big brother still relies on this place, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome? let’s find a chance to tell big brother in the next few days. &Quot;
