Zhao Hai followed Brook into the tent. He lowered his head, but the corner of his eyes was looking at everything inside the tent. The floor of the tent was covered with a thick blanket. The pattern on the blanket was very beautiful, at first glance one could tell that it was a fine product. Stepping on it was as soft as stepping on clouds, very comfortable.
There was no fire pit in the tent, only a large copper brazier with a diameter of more than one meter. There were various animal patterns engraved on the brazier, which was obviously very beautiful. Now, there was a copper kettle hanging above the brazier, and the fragrance of milk tea drifted out from the copper kettle.
The roof of the tent was very bright, Zhao Hai peeked at it. On the roof of the tent, there was a huge metal wheel shaped chandelier. This type of chandelier was not an oil lamp, but a magic lamp. This made Zhao Hai feel very surprised, it seems that West Wonder King's days were very comfortable. One must know that the cost of using a magic lamp was much higher than an oil lamp.
At this time, Brook bowed and said, "This one has seen the Prince."
Zhao Hai recovered, he quickly followed Brook and said, "This one has seen your majesty West Wonder King." He didn't even see West Wonder King.
A rough voice was heard, "Don't be polite, Brook. Mister Zhao Hai, please sit down."
Zhao Hai looked up and saw a table opposite him. This table wasn't a small table, but a real square table. It looked a bit like a desk. Behind the table sat a beastman. This beastman was about three meters tall, he had a huge bull's head, a pair of scimitar like horns, and a long scar on his face, which made him look even more ferocious.
His body was very sturdy, sitting there like a mountain. His body was very angular, as if cast in iron. Behind him on the ground, there was a huge mace, the head of the mace was as thick as Zhao Hai's body.
This person wasn't wearing a beastman's leather robe, nor was it an ordinary Human's cloth robe. Instead, he was wearing a full set of armor, a true Human's armor. This made him look as terrifying as a steel monster.
Just by looking at his appearance, you would think that he's a war maniac, a rough man with super thick nerves. But Zhao Hai didn't think so. He discovered that West Wonder King's eyes are very bright, very bright. His eyes are like an X-ray machine, they can penetrate a person's body and soul, very frightening.
Zhao Hai didn't think that a person with such a pair of eyes would be a rough man, this person was definitely not a simple character. However, Zhao Hai didn't express anything, after thanking West Wonder King, he went to the chair opposite to him and sat down. Brook also sat beside him.
West Wonder King curiously sized up Zhao Hai, he suddenly said, "Mister Zhao Hai, welcome to my camp, I also want to thank you for bringing us food."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too polite, we're just taking what we need, there's no need to thank anyone. Speaking of thanks, I really want to thank Your Majesty, if you weren't willing to accept my food, I would have to wait until next year to sell my food."
West Wonder King laughed and said, "Humans really like to speak beautiful words, Mister Zhao Hai doesn't need to be polite, as long as you transport the food to the Grassland, there won't be any left."
If Zhao Hai didn't notice West Wonder King's eyes, he would've thought that West Wonder King was a straightforward person without any schemes. But now, Zhao Hai didn't think so, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too polite, what I said is true, cooperating with Your Majesty is for the long term, not only this year, but also next year, and the year after. I can't make such a guarantee with an ordinary tribe, I don't know if I can have the honor to cooperate with Your Majesty next year?"
West Wonder King didn't think that Zhao Hai would bring up the main topic so quickly, he looked at Zhao Hai in surprise and said, "I don't know how much food mister can provide us next year?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "200 million jin!"
West Wonder King didn't have a surprised expression, instead, he asked, "What's the price?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's the same as this year, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, I guarantee the quality of the food, Your Majesty can rest assured."
West Wonder King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, you should know that 200 million jin of food is not a small number for our tribe. If there's a problem with your food, then our entire tribe will be affected."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course I know, but Your Majesty can rest assured, I sincerely want to cooperate with Your Majesty. These 200 million jin of food, I won't wait until autumn to send it to Your Majesty, I'll send it in batches, as soon as the grass grows on the prairie, I'll send it to Your Majesty until winter, when my carriage can no longer enter the prairie. What does Your Majesty think?"
West Wonder King's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Why can you send us food when the grass grows on the prairie?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I can only say that in my territory, because of the climate, I can grow bamboo rice three times a year. When the grass grows on the prairie, my first crop of bamboo rice has just ripened, so I can send it to Your Majesty."
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, West Wonder King froze for a moment and said, "You're not from Aksu Empire?" West Wonder King's words were reasonable, the climate in Aksu Empire was similar to the prairie. Generally, they can only grow one crop a year. Only in the other countries, they can grow two or three crops a year.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm not, Your Majesty can rest assured."
West Wonder King nodded and said, "If mister can really say what you've done, then we'll take all of your food, and I can guarantee that the price is fair."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Good, then I'll have to thank Your Majesty. Your Majesty can rest assured, I'll certainly guarantee Your Majesty's food supply." West Wonder King nodded and said, "Good, then I won't keep mister here. Brook, please entertain mister for me."
Zhao Hai quickly said, "I don't dare to trouble Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Then he stood up and bowed to West Wonder King, then he turned around and left with Brook.
On the carriage, Brook looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, don't be angry. Recently, our tribe has a lot of things to do, His Majesty really doesn't have the time."
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Elder is too polite, I'm really not angry. Being able to finalize the cooperation with His Majesty is already enough for me. Elder doesn't need to take care of me, I still have some things to deal with."
Brook nodded and didn't say anything. Zhao Hai opened the window next to the carriage and looked outside. Suddenly, he noticed a situation. A Herculean Bull warrior was wearing handcuffs and shackles. He was pulling a large cart, moving forward with great difficulty. Beside him was a Fighting Bull warrior, holding a whip in his hand.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, then his complexion changed. He immediately understood what was going on, but he quickly calmed his emotions and put down the curtains.
Fortunately, Brook was resting with his eyes closed, so he didn't notice Zhao Hai's actions. Zhao Hai let out a long breath, but his heart was in turmoil, it was difficult for him to calm down. This was because he was very clear about what this meant.
If the Herculean Bull's Second and Third Princesses were still in power, the Fighting Bulls wouldn't dare to treat the Herculean Bulls like this. The Herculean Bulls that appeared in the camp must be the servants of the Second or Third Princesses. Now that their servants were treated like this, the Second and Third Princesses' days wouldn't be any better.
The convoy quickly returned to Brook's tent. Zhao Hai got down from the carriage and politely said goodbye to Brook. Then he returned to his camp, there were a lot of things he needed to do, but the most important thing was to find the whereabouts of the Second and Third Princesses.
When it was almost noon, Laura and Meg also came back. Although they had smiles on their faces, Zhao Hai could see that their smiles were somewhat forced.
When Laura and Meg entered the tent, Zhao Hai immediately turned on the monitor. Seeing that no one was following them, Laura said, "Brother Hai, we just heard that the Second and Third Princesses were demoted to slaves by West Wonder King. They are currently foraging in the prairie."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I also thought of this. I just went to see West Wonder King, and when I came back, I saw a Herculean Bull being whipped to pull a cart. If the Second and Third Princesses weren't in trouble, no one would dare to treat the Herculean Bulls like this. Now it seems that West Wonder King is really ready to side with the Fighting Bull patriarch."
Laura immediately said, "Brother Hai, what should we do? We must find a way to rescue the Second and Third Princesses, otherwise we won't be able to explain to Brother Wales. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it. After a few days, the grain team will leave the Cow-headed Race's territory. After packing the grain, I'll immediately take back the Ghost Staff. Then I'll have the Eagle carry the Ghost Staff and scout the surroundings of West Wonder King's tribe. Once we find the Second and Third Princesses, we'll find a way to rescue them."
Laura thought for a moment and nodded, "Right now, we can only do this, there's no need to be anxious. Right, we also heard some news about the Fighting Bulls today. It seems that the Fighting Bulls sent a message saying that because some humans interfered with the internal affairs of the Cow-headed Race, the Fighting Bulls expelled all the humans from their tribe."
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he frowned and said, "So it's like this, the Fighting Bulls have a good plan. Not only did they let the humans go, they also found an excuse for themselves. This Fighting Bull patriarch seems to be a real character, but I don't know if they really drove the humans away."
Laura frowned, "I don't know yet, that's just one theory. Another theory is that the Fighting Bull patriarch killed all the humans who helped him, and the Fighting Bulls were preparing to attack West Wonder King. There are different theories."
