A cold wind blew outside the yurt, but it was very warm inside the yurt. Teng Qingshan drank hot milk tea, ate a big piece of lamb, and a big plate of hand fried noodles.
Although it was not as exquisite as the dishes in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, it was still very comfortable.
"Big Brother!" A young man wearing a gray leather robe walked into the yurt.
Chabu, who was happily chatting with Teng Qingshan, saw this person walk in and his face darkened, "Why are you here?"
"Tsk tsk." The young man glanced at Teng Qingshan. When he saw Teng Qingshan's tattered cotton-padded jacket, he frowned, but he still smiled and said, "Big Brother, my life is very tight. A few days ago, a few sheep went missing, and I don't know who stole them. My life is very hard! "
Chabu frowned, "What is it? Say it!"
"Big Brother is very straightforward!" The young man laughed, "Big Brother, lend me some money. After I sell the sheep, I will definitely return it to you. "
"Hmph, return? I haven't paid you back what I owed you last time. "The child said in a low voice, dissatisfied.
The woman who was eating at the side immediately pulled the child back and glared at him. "I am speaking the truth!" The child muttered and didn't dare to say anything else. The young man didn't seem to mind and only looked at Chabu with a smile.
Chabu's face darkened. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket, which was about half a tael, and threw it to the young man.
"Thank you, Big Brother. I will definitely return the silver. I will definitely return it! "The young man was overjoyed and said.
Chabu's face darkened, "Hmph, don't thank me! Father didn't ask me to take care of you. I would have kicked you out long ago! Remember, go and practice your knife skills with the Silan brothers! Don't be lazy all day! "At this moment, the young man opened the cloth and walked out.
"Father, where did he take care of the sheep? A few days ago, I saw him slaughter a sheep and eat it!" The child said unwillingly.
Chabu stared at his son, "Jida, remember, that is your uncle!"
"Jida doesn't have such a useless uncle!" The child raised his head and said.
Teng Qingshan could only bury his head and eat. It was not appropriate for him to intervene in such a family matter. No matter which manor it was, there would always be people who were gluttonous and lazy. For this kind of person. Generally, villas or tribes would marginalize them.
Clang!
Clang!
Loud crashing noises could be heard coming from outside. Teng Qingshan's ears pricked up and asked in surprise, "Brother Chabu, what's going on outside?"
Before Chabu could say anything, his son rushed to say: "It is our tribe's men who are competing! It must be Uncle Silan and the rest, they practiced their swords very hard every day. Uncle Silan and the others were very powerful! I also learned saber skills from Uncle Silan! "
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan put down the cup of milk tea and stood up with a smile. "Brother Chabu, I'm full too. Thank you for your hospitality! "As he spoke, he placed two taels of silver on the table.
Chabulan hastily picked up the two taels of silver and pushed it back to Teng Qingshan as he shouted, "Brother Huhe! It's just a casual lunch. It's not worth much. Two taels of silver was too much! I can't take it! " Chabulan wanted to push it back to Teng Qingshan, but Teng Qingshan blocked Chabulan with his right hand. Chabulan couldn't get any closer!
"Such great strength!" Chabulan was secretly shocked.
"Two taels of silver is nothing to me!" Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother Chabulan, if you think highly of me, then take it." "Brother Chabulan, if you think highly of me, then take it."
Chabulan froze and smiled helplessly. If Teng Qingshan still didn't take it, then he would be looking down on Teng Qingshan.
"Alright, I will take it." Chabulan said casually, "Brother Huhe, aren't you curious about the competition outside? Let's go and have a look. "
"Let's go." Teng Qingshan smiled and nodded.
"I want to go too!" The child from the Grassland hastily stood up.
"Haha, let's go together." Teng Qingshan smiled as he held the child's hand and walked out of the yurt. Teng Qingshan and the muscular man, Chabulan, followed the source of the sound to the northeast.
As they went deeper into the tribe, Teng Qingshan had a rough idea of the Qilian Tribe. "There are only over a hundred yurts in the entire tribe! There are big yurts and small yurts. However, the population of the entire tribe should be less than one thousand. It can be considered a small tribe. "
At this time, Teng Qing Shan had already seen the two people sparring on the grassland in front of him. One of them was tall and had the back of a tiger and waist of a bear. One of the two was tall and sturdy while the other was as skinny as a wild wolf. The two were using scimitars that were commonly seen on the Grassland.
Whew! Whew!
The two dodged agilely and continuously passed each other. Occasionally, they would stab their opponent! They didn't hold back at all.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
The two's faces were filled with heat as they stared at each other.
"This is a good method. Use a wooden saber! Furthermore, the wooden saber is wrapped in sheepskin. Even if you use all your strength, you will only injure your opponent. "Teng Qingshan nodded to himself.
Chabulan, who was at the side, smiled and said, "Brother Huhe. How strong are the warriors of our tribe? The skinnier one is the number one warrior of our tribe, Silan. He had once killed more than ten mounted gangsters, and he himself had not suffered any injuries! Moreover, even the women of the Wanshi tribe are willing to marry Brother Silan. "Chabu's face was filled with pride.
"Not bad. Very powerful." Teng Qingshan praised. "Where did you learn your saber techniques and inner strength?" Teng Qingshan could tell at a glance that both of them had learned inner strength. Otherwise, they would not have been able to move so quickly.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, many commoners did not have the opportunity to learn inner strength! However, in the Qilian Tribe, a small tribe at the bottom level, the two people who were fighting were both inner strength experts. This made Teng Qingshan very surprised. "A few times before, I went to those tribes to beg for food. They all ate and left. I didn't pay attention to whether they practiced inner force or not! "
"Inner force? Saber skills? " Chabu laughed, "In the Great Prairie, all the tribes in the north can learn inner strength and saber skills! The central region and the southernmost region cannot learn them. "
Teng Qingshan looked at Chabu in surprise.
"These saber techniques and inner strength. It was the emissary from the God of Heaven Mountain who gave it to each of our tribes! "Chabu appeared very respectful." The emissary from the God of Heaven Mountain gave us hope! They also said that if we can lift a five thousand Jin rock, we can enter the God of Heaven Mountain and live there! "
When Teng Qingshan heard this, he was shocked!
A five thousand Jin rock?
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, those who could lift a two thousand Jin rock were Second Rated Warriors. Those who could lift a ten thousand Jin rock were First Rated Warriors! Those who could lift a five thousand Jin rock were extremely powerful among Second Rated Warriors. For example, in the Black Armoured Corps of the Gui Yuan Sect, only a corporal had such strength.
"The God of Heaven Mountain actually dared to give the secret inner strength and saber skills to all the surrounding tribes. They did not even worry that the spread of the secret manuals would lead to the emergence of forces that could topple them! This courage is really shocking! " Teng Qingshan thought to himself. In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, no sect would spread the secret inner strength manuals for no reason.
On the green grassland.
The two heroes of the tribe finally had a winner.
"Silan, I admit defeat!" That tall and sturdy man's back was pressed by his opponent's knee and he was pressed to the ground.
"Uncle Silan is the most powerful!" The child beside Teng Qingshan shouted excitedly.
Teng Qingshan smiled and patted the child's head. Then, he smiled at Chabu and said, "Brother Chabu, I still have something to do, so I have to continue my journey. I will take my leave first! "
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chabu asked.
Teng Qingshan was about to speak, but his facial expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked towards the south. With his sixth sense, he could tell that there was a tremor in the south. It should be the tremor caused by a large number of horse hooves.
Clop! Clop! Clop!
"Mounted bandits! Mounted bandits!!! "Suddenly, a sharp shout broke the silence of the entire tribe.
Silan, who was sweating profusely, suddenly changed his facial expression and shouted, "Old people and children, go to the yurts. Men, follow me! "
The men rushed forward while the women followed behind. Their faces were filled with madness.
"Ji Lan, go to the yurts." Chabu pushed his son and rushed forward with big strides. At this moment, he didn't have the time to greet Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan also followed the crowd and ran to the front.
"It's the Whole Gale Tribe!"
"Whole Gale!"
"It's the Whole Gale!"
Terrified shouts came from the southernmost side. These terrified shouts were like huge hammers pounding on the hearts of everyone in the tribe. The men and women of the tribe, who were originally ready to tear their enemies into pieces, changed their facial expressions. They even retracted their raised machetes.
"Eh? What's going on? "Teng Qingshan quickly came to the front. Teng Qingshan glanced over.
At the front of the Qilian Tribe's crowd, a large group of riders wearing silver armor stopped. The chief of the tribe had already run to the front.
"Respected Lord of the Whole Gale Tribe." The silver-haired old man wearing a thick gown bowed.
The leader of the riders on the warhorse looked at the chief through his cold mask and said, "Qilian Tribe! One year has passed. Your tribe has a total of more than eight hundred people. Three taels of silver for each person. Not counting the small change, you need to pay two thousand four hundred taels of silver! "
"Three taels of silver?" Teng Qingshan was shocked when he heard this.
Even in the wealthy Yangzhou, the White Horse Gang only collected half a tael of silver per person. The tribes in the prairie were much poorer than those in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. For example, if there were four people in a family. Each family would have to pay twelve taels of silver! In the prairie, a family in a low-level tribe like this would have a hard time earning twelve taels of silver in a year!
"If we don't eat or drink, we won't even have enough to pay. Are they trying to force us to death? "Teng Qingshan's facial expression changed." The people of this Qilian Tribe are considered tough. However, when they heard the two words' Whole Gale ', they were scared out of their wits. You can't blame them! "Teng Qingshan could tell with a glance.
The group of mounted gangsters in front of him were all wearing silver-gray armor. Their horses were also top-grade warhorses. In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, only the 'White Horse Battalion' of the White Horse Gang could barely compare.
"Lord!" The chief suddenly knelt down and begged, "Lord, please give our Qilian Tribe half a year's time. We will definitely gather the money. Right now, we really don't have that much money! "
"If you don't have money, can't you rob other tribes?" The chief on the warhorse sneered, "On the Great Prairie, a useless tribe like yours doesn't have the right to exist. Since you can't pay … … then we will follow the old rules! "
The facial expression of everyone in the Qilian Tribe changed.
"Spare us."
"Lord, spare us." Many people knelt down.
Teng Qingshan felt something was wrong when he heard this. The chief said the old rules. What rules? Chabu, who was not far from Teng Qingshan, also knelt down and begged with a pale face.
"Brothers, let's begin!" The chief's eyes were cold.
"Roar ~ ~"
The cavalrymen let out howls like mad wolves and raised the scimitars in their hands high up. Teng Qingshan somewhat understood what the other party's old rules were!
"Still not resisting at this moment?" Teng Qingshan was very puzzled. At the moment of death, they should fight with all their might. He looked at Chabu, who was still kneeling, "No, no — —"
"After eating a meal, I will help you this time."
Teng Qingshan's cold gaze swept across the group of insolent cavalrymen who were like a pack of wolves and wanted to devour the tribe.
