[Chapter 280 Surveillance]
Zhao Hai has been in contact with a lot of small tribes of orcs, but it is the first time he has come into contact with a large tribe like King Siki.
When I was in contact with those small tribes before, the people of those small tribes and the businessmen of the human race all seemed very enthusiastic, and some small tribes even seemed very excited, such as Spear’s sheep’s head hammer tribe is an example, because Zhao Hai sold him food at a low price, and he was even willing to give Zhao Hai a friendship flag.
As for King Xiqi’s camp, they couldn’t see that situation at all. They were not surprised at Zhao Hai’s arrival, and even the children in the tribe didn’t come over to watch. Zhao Hai even saw a trace of contempt in the eyes of those people.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood why those orcs looked down on them, because the size of their convoy was too small, a hundred vehicles of 2,000 catties of food, at most, would only be 200,000 catties of food. For a large tribe of people, this amount of food is too little.
Zhao Hai didn’t care either. Following the cavalry team, they arrived at a corner of the camp. To Zhao Hai’s surprise, the tents in this corner were all empty, and there were no orcs nearby.
The leader of the cavalry, riding a bull to Zhao Hai’s front, said condescendingly: “Friends of the human race, you can stay here temporarily, this is a camp specially built for the friends of the human race, you can stay directly, you can also You can ask the people nearby for what you need, of course, you need something in exchange.”
Zhao Hai was really flattered, he didn’t expect that King Xiki’s camp still provided a place to live, he quickly Said: “Okay, thank you very much, dear warrior, can I know your name?” The
bullfighter said with a cracked smile: “My name is Beta, you can just call me Beta.”
Zhao Hai quickly smiled and said: “Okay, Brother Beta, I have prepared a small gift for you, please accept it. If you have time, please help me to tell Lord Xiki, I really I want to discuss a big business with him.” After he waved his hand, Laura immediately brought out a bottle of wine, of course, this wine is not milk wine, but a real human fruit wine.
Beta was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, took the fruit wine from Zhao Hai’s hand and said: “You are an interesting human race, really interesting, hahaha, don’t worry, I will report it to the elders.”
After he finished speaking, the bullfighting bull he stepped down mooed, turned the bull’s head and left, and the cavalry of the bull’s head tribe also followed him away.
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and turned to Laura: “It seems that the big tribe is different. They are actually providing a place to live. It seems that we don’t need to set up a tent and laugh. Let’s see what’s in the tent.” Laura and the others responded with a smile and turned around to make the tent real, while Zhao Hai directed the undead creatures and asked them to tie up the grain carts.
After Zhao Hai and the others settled down, he immediately took out some food and went to exchange some milk wine and mutton with the nearby bullfighting people.
Now Zhao Hai is more aware of the difference between the bullfighting clansmen here in King Xiqi and those small tribes, and King Xiqi is more utilitarian here.
This may be an inevitable phenomenon of social development. The more developed the place, the more utilitarian people appear, and the smaller the place, the more humane it is.
After Zhao Hai and the others settled down, they waited quietly in the tent. They didn’t walk around, nor did they go out to have more contact with those orcs.
However, as soon as he entered the tent, Zhao Hai turned on the monitor in the space. He wanted to see how the surrounding situation was. He soon noticed a phenomenon. There seemed to be too many bullfighters around them. There were a few people walking around their camp, glancing at the camp from time to time.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn’t help but froze for a moment, then turned to Laura and said, “Is there any flaw in our performance? Why did they send someone to monitor us?”
Laura frowned and shook her head. “I can’t think of it either. It’s reasonable to say that we shouldn’t. We haven’t done anything out of the ordinary. How could they be watching us?”
Meg looked at the screen and said, “Master, Do you think they think we are spies sent by the patriarch? , will they doubt us?”
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Well, it is possible that they used to have a grudge against the patriarch of the bullfighting clan. The relationship is good, we came so suddenly, it is possible for them to suspect.”
Laura nodded and said: “It seems that it is correct for us to stay here honestly, otherwise they will definitely attack us. , even if we can hide in the space, they will find out.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “It’s still in this situation, let’s stand here honestly, Cai’er.” Zhao Hai called out, Cai’er immediately appeared on her shoulder.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Cai’er and said, “Cai’er, can you record everything that happened here? Just record him so we can watch it later?” Zhao Hai remembers that ordinary monitors have this function. , he had never used it before, nor asked.
Cai’er nodded and said, “Yes, everything can be recorded. After seven days, if you don’t take the initiative to ask to keep it, it will be deleted.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Okay, then from today, Record everything that happened to us in King Xiki’s tribe, we are watching at night.”
Cai’er responded and returned to the space, just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: “Friends of the human race, Are you alright?”
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, he heard it, it was Beta’s voice, he immediately said: “It turned out to be Brother Beta, I’m fine, please come in.”
As soon as Beta lifted the tent and walked in, to say that this tent is really good, it has everything in it. Zhao Hai could have used the things he brought, but Laura and the others were afraid of the things in this tent. , I don’t know how many people have used it, so the things they use now are all brought by themselves.
Now Zhao Hai is sitting in the tent drinking milk tea. This milk tea is naturally exchanged for food from nearby orcs. When he saw Beta coming in, Zhao Hai immediately said: “Brother Beta, come, have a cup of hot milk tea.” Said Finished pouring a cup of milk tea for Beta.
Beta smiled slightly, picked up the cup, dried the milk tea in the cup, and said to Zhao Hai: “Friends of the human race, our elders in charge of foreign affairs want to see you, come with me.”
Zhao Hai nodded, He stood up, followed Beta out, and said to Laura as he walked, “Just stay in the tent, don’t run around.” Laura responded with her voice and sent Zhao Hai to the front of the tent. Just stopped.
After walking a few meters out of the tent, Beta turned to look at Zhao Haidao: “My human friend, why don’t you look like a human businessman? Human businessmen will walk around to win business, why don’t you go?”
Zhao Hai With a wry smile, “Brother Beta, how much money can you make just by yourself? How much can you sell? It’s useless. My goal now is to buy food for your tribe. That’s a big business. Such a small business, what’s the point of doing it or not.”
Beta looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise: “It seems that you really didn’t lie to me, you really have a lot of food in your hand? How much?”
Zhao Hai laughed He said: “A lot, and the price I gave is definitely the lowest in the entire grassland.”
Beta stared at Zhao Hai blankly, wondering if what Zhao Hai said was true or not. At this time, they also came to a large tent. In addition, this tent is larger than ordinary orc dwelling tents, and there is a battle flag planted outside this tent. Although Zhao Hai doesn’t understand what it means, he also understands that this tent is not simple.
Outside this tent, there are two bullfighting guards standing upright, each of them holding a huge mace in their hands, which looks mighty and mighty.
Beta walked to the door, nodded at the two guards, and led Zhao Hai into the tent. As soon as Zhao Hai entered the tent, he felt dark. He looked at the tent. More than ten square meters, which is not too small for a tent.
The decorations in the tent are very strange. The things that are usually placed in orcs’ homes are not found in this tent. In this tent, there are mostly books and books, and there is nothing else.
The ground is also covered with plain carpet, but it looks very low-key. There is a fire pit in the middle of the tent, and a copper pot is hung on it. The heat is blowing inside. There is only a small table in the tent, and a person is sitting behind the small table. , a bullfighting man who looks quite young.
Some of the black hairs on this bullfighter’s face have turned white, and there are many wrinkles, which makes him look more old-fashioned. But his eyes are not cloudy at all, on the contrary, his eyes are very clear, flashing with a wise light.
Beta stepped forward and saluted, “I have seen the foreign affairs elder.” The old bullfighting clansman
nodded and said, “Is he the businessman you said?”
A chest saluted: “Zhao Hai has seen the elder, thank the elder for meeting him.”
The elder nodded and waved at Beta. Beta bowed and walked out of the tent. Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. , still standing quietly in the tent.
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Friends of the human race, please sit down.” After Zhao Hai said thanks, he stepped aside and sat on the right hand of the old man.
The old man’s eyes flashed a hint of untraceable approval, and then he continued: “Friends of the human race, I heard Beta say, you have a lot of food to trade with us?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: “Yes, Dear elder, I have a lot of food. To be honest, I am not a pure businessman. I have my own territory. The main output of my territory is food, that is, bamboo rice. I don’t want to cheapen those merchants. So I decided to sell it myself.” The
old man nodded and said, “How much food do you have?”
Zhao Hai said solemnly, “30 million catties.” He didn’t say much, for fear that the old man would doubt it.
Although what he said was too little in his opinion, the old man was still surprised. The old man looked up at him and said, “What about the price?”
Zhao Hai said calmly: “For every two thousand catties of grain, exchange one argali. .” The
old man’s face was moved, and he looked at Zhao Hai with a look of shock: “You mean two thousand catties of grain for an argali? Are you sure what you said is true?”
Zhao Hai ordered Nodding: “Yes, respected elder, I won’t joke about this kind of thing, what I said is true, two thousand catties of grain is exchanged for an argali.” The
old man looked at Zhao Hai and said, “How is the quality of your grain? Like? If the quality is not bad, can the grain arrive, and we are giving you argali?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: “The quality of the grain will not be a problem, I brought some samples, to tell the elders, The food I brought is the worst batch of my food. The food I will send in the future will definitely be the first class. You said that it is okay to give me argali when the food arrives. I don’t have any opinion.” The
old man nodded, and then Beta’s voice came at once: “Elder Qi, the food has been checked and the quality is very good.” The
old man nodded and turned to look at Zhao Haidao : “Friend of the human race, you really didn’t lie? Your food has such quality?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “No, elder, the food I brought is the worst of all the food I have. The quality of the food will get better and better.” The
old man looked at Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai looked at him without moving, and after a while the old man nodded and said, “Friends of the human race, this deal is done, you You can let your people bring the food, but remember, when I only give you a month and a half, I will pay as much as you can. After a month and a half, the heavy snow will close the road, and then you will be considered a If you want to be lucky, you won’t be able to get in.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly: “Elder, don’t worry, it doesn’t take that long, as long as it’s less than a month, you can watch it, please allow me to retire and make arrangements.”
The old man nodded, Zhao Hai slowly withdrew from his tent and walked towards his tent. At this time, Beta walked into the old man’s tent once, and said to the old man: “Elder, they are very honest, they almost don’t see the tent, and don’t see any problems.” The
old man nodded and said, “I see this young man . The people are also very good. I’ve been monitoring them for a few days. If they still behave the same way, then I should be more optimistic about them. If they come out and have contact with the clansmen, find out what they said, and if they are talking about ordinary things , so you don’t have to monitor them.”
Beta looked at the old man puzzled and said: “Elder, why are they still acting like they are now, but they have to monitor them even more? They contacted the clansmen and stopped monitoring them? This is Too abnormal, isn’t it?”
