Xiu Jie was a very forthright person, so when he heard Zhao Hai, he immediately replied, "So Mister came here to observe the plant masters. If you want to talk about special plants, then we really do have people here. If you go east for about three days, there is a forest with a special tree called the Fire Wheel Tree. It's very beautiful, Mister should take a look at it." Xiu Jie nodded and said, "Mister should go and see it.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look in a few days. Thank you."
Xiu Jie quickly replied, "Mister is too polite. We can't invite a guest like you. It's our honor to be able to help Mister. If Mister wants to see more plants, then it's best to go to the Border Mountains. There are a lot of plants in the Border Mountains, many of which are unique to the Lion Soul Kingdom. You can't see them anywhere else."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Thank you. I'll go to the Border Mountains in the future. But before that, I'll travel to the North for a while before going to the South."
When he heard Zhao Hai, Xiu Jie couldn't help but frown and said, "Mister, if you really want to go to the South, then you must be careful. The South is very chaotic, and Plant Masters aren't very welcome there."
When Zhao Hai heard Xiu Jie, he couldn't help but stare. He looked at Xiu Jie and said, "Listening to you, the Lion Soul Kingdom seems to have some conflicts between the South and the North?"
Xiu Jie sneered and said, "How could the Great Nobles of the South look at us Northern shepherds? Those guys aren't good people. Mister, you might not know this, but the Lion Soul Kingdom can be divided into the Southern Alliance and the Northern Alliance. The Southern Alliance is made up of Great Nobles. They look down on us Northerners, thinking that we're just a bunch of bumpkins. But to be honest, Soul Beings like us still prefer to stay in the North. This is because there's no guarantee of living in the South. Who knows when we'll be turned into miners. Because of this, we Northern Soul Beings support the Northern Nobles. The Northern Nobles have always maintained their independence under the leadership of Grand Duke Gan Ya. Even the King rarely extends his hand to the North. If it weren't for Grand Duke Gan Ya, then who knows what would happen to the North?"
When Zhao Hai heard Xiu Jie, he couldn't help but nod. He didn't think that there would be such a deep conflict between the South and the North in the Lion Soul Kingdom.
At this time, the roasted lamb was ready. Xiu Jie immediately invited Zhao Hai to eat it. To be honest, the roasted lamb in the Lion Soul Kingdom was different from the ones in the Sheep Plains.
After following Xiu Jie for a day, Zhao Hai left the next day. When Zhao Hai left, Xiu Jie gave Zhao Hai a bag filled with smoked meat. In such a short time, it was impossible for them to turn the lamb into jerky. Therefore, they could only make smoked meat. The taste was also very good.
After leaving Xiu Jie, Zhao Hai continued to wander in the North. However, he changed his target this time. This time, he set his sights on the Lion Soul Kingdom's largest city, Ya City.
Ya City was the Lion Soul Kingdom's largest city in the North. It was also the Lion Soul Kingdom's northern trade center. At the same time, it was also the administrative center of the Lion Soul Kingdom.
The Gan Family wasn't the ruler of the entire Lion Soul Kingdom. However, the Gan Family's title was the highest in the Lion Soul Kingdom. The Gan Family's title was Grand Duke. In the northern region of the Lion Soul Kingdom, it could be said that hundreds of people would respond to a single call.
Zhao Hai wanted to go to Ya City and see if there was anything special about it. However, he wasn't in a hurry to go to Ya City. Instead, he went forward and collected all the things that he could collect.
Along the way, he also met a lot of herdsmen as well as some herdsmen's villages. In the northern part of the Lion Soul Kingdom, Plant Masters were very respected. Every time Zhao Hai went to a place, he would be warmly welcomed by the locals. This made Zhao Hai somewhat surprised.
Before Zhao Hai arrived at Ya City, Zhao Hai received an eagle message from Gui Ling. Gui Ling said that the people they sent back to the Sword Spirit Country had already gone to their homes. These people's homes weren't doing very well. Because they lost their pillar of support, their families were being bullied. There were even some families that couldn't survive. They decided to find a way to bring their families to the desert paradise.
Although Gui Ling's letter was written plainly, Zhao Hai could still feel Gui Ling's anger. There was no other way, Gui Ling and the others were all subordinates of Dugu Tian. Moreover, they were only loyal to him. If Gui Ling and the others were harmed, then Dugu Tian would have an obligation to take care of their families. But now, their people were being bullied and Dugu Tian didn't care. How could Gui Ling and the others not be angry?
Naturally, the most important point was that Dugu Tian didn't take care of Gui Ling's family. If the other Ghost Guards knew about this, what would they think? They would think that even if they had the same status as Gui Ling in the future, they wouldn't be valued. If something were to happen in the future, then the fate of their families would be the same as Gui Ling's family. Naturally, they wouldn't be 100% loyal to Dugu Tian.
As a leader, one shouldn't make such a mistake. As for Dugu Tian, as the King of the Sword Spirit Country, he shouldn't make such a mistake. What was going on?
Zhao Hai thought for a moment before replying to Gui Ling. His reply to Gui Ling was very simple. He wanted Gui Ling and the others to pay attention and see if their families were being monitored. If they were being monitored, then it was very likely that this was Dugu Tian's plan to make them appear. If their families weren't being monitored, then they could take them to the desert paradise.
After replying to the letter, Zhao Hai also sent a letter to the Hu Clan, asking them to help investigate this matter. Zhao Hai also sent a letter to Fat Cat, asking him to send people to investigate this matter.
To be honest, Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian's development was beyond Zhao Hai's expectations. Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian were very talented in business. Their business group was developing very quickly. Naturally, this was mainly due to the Hu Family's care. Additionally, they were able to get things from the desert that other groups didn't have. Because of this, their business group was able to develop very quickly. At this point, their business group had already reached a small scale.
However, nobody knew that their business group was related to the Hu Clan and Zhao Hai. Nobody even knew of their existence. The main reason was that their business group didn't have a unified name or symbol. Because of this, nobody knew of their existence.
Furthermore, although the things they bought were special, they didn't appear often. Most of the time, the things they bought were very ordinary.
Nobody in the continent would think that the more common an item was, the more profit it would bring. And Fat Cat and the others were able to do this. The things they sold were targeted at commoners. Moreover, most of the time, they would send people to the villages to sell them. This way, the villagers wouldn't have to go to the cities to buy things. They would be able to make money while the commoners would be able to get more benefits. This was the reason why Fat Cat and the others were able to develop their business so quickly.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with Fat Cat and the others' performance. Of course, Liu Wei and Guan Huang's contributions were not small as well. With the two of them being Consolidating Equipment Stage powerhouses, they did not cause any trouble for the business group.
Now, Zhao Hai could already use Fat Cat and the others to do some things. To Zhao Hai, that was a pleasant surprise.
After settling everything, Zhao Hai continued on his way. His goal was still Ya Di City. After walking for another month, Zhao Hai finally arrived at Ya Di City. When he saw the city, Zhao Hai was stunned. It wasn't because of how majestic the city was. On the contrary, it wasn't majestic at all. Such a city could only be considered a medium sized city in the Saber Spirit Nation. If it were the Sword Spirit Nation, it would only be a small city. However, here, it was the largest city in the north of the Lion Spirit Nation. That really surprised Zhao Hai.
The city walls were all made of mud, and they weren't very tall. However, one could tell that the city was very prosperous, with many people coming in and out.
At the city gates, there were a few soldiers. However, these soldiers did not seem to be in charge of collecting taxes. That was to say, this city was exempt from taxes, which was a good point.
Zhao Hai rode his horse slowly into the city. As he entered, the soldiers only glanced at Zhao Hai once before ignoring him. Although Zhao Hai was a Plant Master, there were many Plant Masters in Ya Di City, and the soldiers did not need to bow to Zhao Hai.
After Zhao Hai entered Ya Di City, he was stunned. The city was very prosperous. Although most of the houses were made of mud, it was still very prosperous. The streets were filled with people coming and going. It was very lively. The sounds of bartering and bargaining made people's ears numb. One could feel the vitality of the city.
Zhao Hai had a smile on his face as he urged his horse forward. He walked very slowly, afraid of bumping into people. To be honest, this was the first time that Zhao Hai had seen such a prosperous city. In his impression, a city like this should be expanded under normal circumstances. But now, this small city had clearly exceeded its capacity. It could no longer support so many people.
Along the way, Zhao Hai quickly noticed another feature of the city. In general, the main street would be very lively, but the side streets would be relatively deserted. However, this was not the case in Ya Di City. The main street was very lively, and the side streets were also very lively. There were people coming and going, and the people coming and going were not less than the main street. Most importantly, Zhao Hai only saw some people bargaining, but he didn't see what they wanted to trade. This aroused Zhao Hai's interest.
