"Ahem, twenty pounds?!" It seemed that the first exclamation could not explain the shock in his heart. Chu Xiaoyong coughed repeatedly, but still repeated the number.
According to the stated price, the value of the supplies for a thousand people is about fifteen kilograms of divine ore.
But this is the bright side.
Except during the deep winter, or when desperate snowbandits would bring the sacred minerals in exchange for supplies, even the smallest tribes would choose to take the sacred minerals to their graves, even if they were starving to death.
Therefore, according to the real price, Chu Xiaoyong estimated that five kilograms of divine ore could be exchanged for supplies for a thousand people.
Being able to get ten kilograms from Zhang Tai has completely made up for his losses from borrowing materials everywhere.
The remaining money is enough to buy Zhang Cuicui a life and let him live in the Chu Mansion without worries about food and clothing.
The premise is that the recruitment should be highlighted.
"Hey, did you listen to me? It's twenty kilograms, but according to the rules of the tribe and the reconnaissance team, we score half and go, leaving you with only ten kilograms!" Wang Qi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chu Xiaoyong, with a sharp look. opened his mouth and shouted.
Who would have expected that this drink would actually bring Chu Xiaoyong back to his senses, and after he and Chang Bo looked at each other, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Priest Wang, this is not the unexpected wealth of the past. Anyone who sees it will have a share. Forget it, let me tell you what to say. You were also from my hometown before time travel. These twenty kilograms of divine minerals were brought to me by my father-in-law. If you take it, you will be subject to karma. You know, he was killed by evil cultivators. If I take the sacred mine, I have to ask someone to seek justice. If you take half, you can go to the evil cultivators to fight for it?"
Before traveling through time, both of them were from Dongguang, so they simply spoke in dialect.
"You are what you say, tell me the rules?" Wang Qi suddenly put away the smile on his face, stood up, and the fluctuations of divine magic began to ripple.
Wisps of air were pushed away, and invisible pressure hit Chu Xiaoyong.
Chang Bo's expression changed, and he immediately wanted to turn around and call someone.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaoyong actually raised his hand under this pressure, waved his hand disdainfully and said: "Wang Qi, I will give you the face to call you Priest Wang. If I don't give you the face, you will be a marginalized deadbeat. To be honest. Let me tell you, someone asked me to become a bad priest six years ago. If you press me, be careful I will kill you immediately when I go out!"
Hebu was established six years ago.
The initiator at that time was Chu Xiaoyong, and Xia Fenghan did give him the opportunity to become a priest.
It's just that many people can't figure out why Chu Xiaoyong chose to give up his position as a priest and just become an ordinary clan leader, subject to control.
Over time, everyone regarded it as a message that everyone else said.
However, Wang Qi was obviously an insider. After Chu Xiaoyong said these words, his expression became uncertain.
Including the divine magic he had just used to exert pressure, he had also taken it back.
"What, are you scared?"
Chu Xiaoyong rubbed his shoulders, then took the bag from Wang Qi's hand and weighed it.
Well, it’s indeed only ten pounds.
This guy has a really big appetite. He even dares to swallow this kind of money. No wonder he is marginalized.
Of course, according to tribal rules, Wang Qi is indeed eligible to take half.
First of all, he found the person with the divine mine, and he had to give 20% as reward no matter what.
Otherwise, if everyone encounters an opportunity in the future and hides it, wouldn’t it be a violation of the rules?
Secondly, if the investigation team encounters this kind of thing, they are qualified to stay 20%.
After all, it was such a difficult job and there was no money to be made, so I had to at least think about it.
In addition, Wang Qi personally came to report the news and took another 10%, which made sense both emotionally and rationally.
"The first-level priest has such a big appetite, he's not afraid of eating it to death!?
"Go away, I don't care who you give those sacred mines to, even if it's the old guy from the Xuxiao tribe, if you don't see the rest for three days, I will personally take your head to the high priest to apologize."
"Uncle Chang, see off my guests for me."
Chu Xiaoyong sneered, weighed the sacred mineral in his hand, and walked to the back courtyard with great satisfaction.
After an afternoon of investigation, no one who had been to Dead End recently had heard of the Zhushikeng tribe being attacked by evil cultivators.
If the investigation team hadn't killed him and brought two residents who had escaped from the Zhushi Pit as witnesses, he would never have believed the story that a third-level priest was killed by an evil cultivator.
Of course, even if he had a witness, he would still make up his mind to send someone to Zhushikeng immediately.
But I haven't had time to send anyone, but now I don't need them anymore.
Ten kilograms of divine ore is in hand, and another ten kilograms will be delivered in the future. If Zhang Tai had not died, which kind person would give him so much divine ore for nothing?
"Cui Cui, your father is so kind to you. He even knew how to spend money to buy your life before he died."
Chu Xiaoyong put the bag on his chest with a smile on his face. The heavy feeling made him plan to go to the main house to sleep, but he suddenly had an idea and turned around and walked to Zhang Cuicui's courtyard.
The lights were still on in the yard.
Faintly, Zhang Cuicui was still sitting at the desk, looking through the account book carefully and recording problems.
It seemed that the news of Zhang Tai's death that came during the day did not make her change at all.
"Damn, this bitch. You have to destroy my harem with your own hands to be satisfied, right?"
Chu Xiaoyong was originally in a good mood, but when he saw this scene, he unconsciously became angry.
Before Zhang Cuicui came, who among the two wives and four concubines in Chu Mansion would dare to be so unreasonable and angry?
You really think that if you defeat Ke Yun in a fight, you can become the second wife, right?
"Cui Cui, why are you still busy at this late hour?"
Chu Xiaoyong walked into the house and closed the door quietly.
Zhang Cuicui didn't even raise her head, and sneered, "Brother Chu, those little tricks during the day scared others but not me. You can make Ke Yun give up. If you have the guts, just tell me face to face."
Your father is dead?
When the news came, Zhang Cuicui panicked for less than half an hour.
By the time Chu Xiaoyong finished comforting her and took people out to check the news, she had already reacted.
Ke Yun is a bitch!
It was obviously a fight between two people, but they had to make some small moves outside the field.
If she hadn't inquired about Ke Yun's personality early, she would have to go back to the tribe to find her father to make the decision if something went wrong, otherwise she would have been really frightened today.
Most of the places where there is no place like a dead end are micro-tribes with dozens of people, and a first-level priest is in charge.
Unless the evil cultivator has broken his head, he won't even be able to eat bird feathers if he goes to a place like that.
This can also be seen from Chu Xiaoyong's reaction. He did not believe that Zhang Tai, the third-level high priest, would die.
Only a stupid woman like Ke Yun would find such a loophole-filled way to try to gain the initiative.
"Oh?"
Chu Xiaoyong smiled, sat opposite Zhang Cuicui, picked up the teapot and drank it.
Gurgling.
He swallowed the light yellow tea, but the unknown fire in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Oh, tell me, what's this little trick?"
"It's nothing more than...ah!"
Zhang Cuicui still lowered her head, and suddenly felt a huge force coming from the top of her head, tearing her scalp.
The huge force came, and she could only raise her head in pain and meet Chu Xiaoyong's red and bloodshot eyes.
"I haven't talked to you yet. When you talk to me, do you have to raise your head and speak?"
"You"
Zhang Cuicui was a little bored after being dragged, and she immediately grabbed the account book on the table and tried to smash it over.
Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Chu Xiaoyong raised his hand and slapped him in the face. He rolled straight away from the table and spun around twice before stopping.
Visibly to the naked eye, the right side of Zhang Cuicui's face was swollen, and blood even spurted out from the edge of the scarlet fingerprints.
"Bluff with me, you're going to hit the street!" Chu Xiaoyong cursed angrily, feeling so relieved in his heart that he couldn't help but scream out.
"I can pick a stupid dog like you out of nowhere. If you hadn't died in time, my Chu Mansion would have been demolished by you. You want to die. I really don't know if your damn father has anything to do with you." Did you say that marrying into the Yunxiao tribe was just to make you fight with my women and become jealous?”
"If I hadn't asked someone to send me the divine mine, and I insisted on saving your life, I would have killed you tonight without saying a word."
After saying that, Chu Xiaoyong threw down the teapot, stretched his muscles and pushed the door open to leave.
It happened that someone outside heard the noise and came over. It was the maid of Chu Mansion.
"Watch the madam. She must stay in the room to check the accounts and cannot leave without my instructions."
"."
The two maids were stunned for a moment, and then they saw Zhang Cuicui lying on the ground through the crack in the door, and they were startled.
Did Chu Xiaoyong hit someone?
It has been four years since they entered Chu's house, and the number of ladies in the house has also increased from one to seven.
However, during this period, they never saw Chu Xiaoyong violently beating anyone, let alone his wife.
"What, do you have any objections to my words?"
Chu Xiaoyong snorted coldly, but was extremely satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the two maids.
"I don't want outsiders to know what happened tonight. If Mrs. Cuicui disappears or there is something wrong with her, I, the patriarch, have a kind heart and will send you to a dead end to experience the life of a refugee."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the blind spot, the two maids immediately trembled.
Zhang Cuicui has been here for so long and has told them about the blind spot situation. Going to a place where people eat people?
It's better to hang yourself now!
At least there was no torture.
"Please, Priest Wang."
"You also know that I am responsible for the execution. I hope you won't make it difficult for me."
Chu Xiao bravely showed an indifferent attitude towards Wang Qi because of his group of priests and father-in-law.
With this group of off-field support, they are not priests, they are better than priests, and their power is frightening.
Chang Bo did not have the courage.
Wang Qi may not be able to take revenge on him now, but he can wait until he reaches the second or third level of cultivation.
When the time comes to deal with a deputy clan leader, even if Chu Xiaoyong protects him, it will not be much more difficult than eating and drinking.
"Okay, okay, very good!"
Wang Qi's teeth clenched, and his face turned from white to red, and then from red to white.
"I, Wang Qi, have recorded everything that happened today."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out neatly.
Chang Bo smiled and followed behind him, and did not stop until Wang Qi was sent out of the high defensive wall of Hebu.
At the parking spot outside the wall, a truck from the reconnaissance team was waiting there. When Wang Qi came over, he immediately started the engine.
Boom boom boom.
The car lights came on, Wang Qi got into the passenger seat without saying a word, and the car quickly slid away.
"Quite decisive. No wonder he was squeezed out by the old guy from Xiaobu. It's a pity that he is a bit stupid."
Chang Bo shook his head and stared at the car disappearing from sight, and couldn't help but murmur.
However, he didn't know that Wang Qi, who was angry a second ago, started laughing immediately after getting in the car.
If he wasn't afraid of being caught by Chang Bo, he would even want to open the car window and roar a few times.
"Boss, you came here with a black face, I thought something big happened?"
"Ha, that old guy is still staring at us. Do you want to die? How about me and Lan Zaihui put a sack on him and beat him up at night to make this old guy sober up?"
"Has the head of the Hebu tribe provoked the boss? I heard people say that this guy is very arrogant. He usually doesn't even pay the bills of the Yunbu priest."
"Why are you so arrogant? A dead guy who depends on women for his livelihood."
The truck's cockpit can seat five people.
Before Wang Qi had time to speak after getting in the car, the four detective team members cursed loudly.
Pulling out a bag of uneaten beef jerky from the glove box, Wang Qi took out one and stuffed it into his mouth while chewing and said, "Why, you are so resentful and they didn't take care of your food?"
"The boss is indeed the boss. Not to mention taking care of the food of these guys, the tribe won't let us in." The team member driving the car sighed, "Those who don't know better think that the Hebu has become his independent kingdom of Chu Xiaoyong."
"Hey, are you so arrogant (￣~￣)?"
No wonder the boss would focus on Hebu. This place is indeed more suitable for outsiders than Yunbu and Xiaobu.
"You guys, please don't talk about what happened today." After finally finishing one, Wang Qi turned his head and said, "In a few days, the boss will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
Fire Fist Camp.
Thomas lay on the thin bed and rolled a few times, unable to sleep.
He turned around and saw Somo staring at the roof of the tent, with his hands folded under his head, as if he was also a little insomniac.
"Clan leader?"
"Huh?"
"Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
"I have a stomachache and feel uncomfortable."
"Oh." Thomas responded dully, "Then let me talk to you?"
"Are you sure you are talking and not just answering your question unilaterally?"
Su Mo recovered his mind and closed the game panel, "Are you trying to ask why we pretended to be a relative of the Zhang family to find Zhang Cuicui after we already killed Zhang Tai? She knew we must have a big problem."
Hearing Su Mo express his inner doubts, Thomas was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he even thought that Su Mo wanted to kill people and silence him at first, and took this opportunity to completely put the Zhang family's affairs to rest without any further consequences. threaten.
But then I thought about it, Zhang Cuicui was just an ordinary person.
Even if she is the wife of the leader of the He tribe, she is not capable of dealing with a fire fist migration team that has a fifth-level priest and a fourth-level priest.
"We are strong enough to welcome Xia Fenghan with a smile, so there is no need to be so cautious, right?"
"Of course not."
Sumo did not beat around the bush, "If the high priest is willing to join the Yunxiao tribe and completely forget about the Fire Fist tribe, we can indeed go directly to Xia Fenghan and let him make arrangements."
"Huh?"
Thomas paused and suddenly jumped up from the bed.
"Chief, are you saying that if we enter the Yunxiao Tribe's territory, our Fire Fist Tribe can still retain it?"
"Otherwise, just to join, clan leader, do I still need to go around in circles like this?"
Sumo smiled faintly.
Living under someone else’s roof is not the goal, being replaced is the end of this journey.
If it was just to join one of the six major organizations, he would have come here alone, so why did he need to delay for so long?
