More than a hundred thousand pounds of fierce beast meat was piled up in the middle of the village. Whoosh.
The entire Lian tribal clan with thousands of tribesmen gathered in the middle of the village square. Looking at the towering mountain of meat, they were shocked and their eyes lit up.
This was fierce beast meat! It was more precious than cattle meat. It was even more delicious. Eating a large piece could increase one's strength, allowing one to not feel hungry for a day!
More than a hundred thousand pounds of fierce beast meat was enough for them to eat for a long time!
But while some people were happy, others were worried. The people who had been tyrannical in the Lian tribal clan felt bitter.
They knew that no matter how good the fierce beast meat was, they could not get much of it.
"Yun-er, you're back!"
Yi Yun had been gone for two to three days. Although the Jin Long Wei had guaranteed that Yi Yun would be fine, Jiang Xiaorou still couldn't help but worry. Now, seeing Yi Yun return safely with so much meat, Jiang Xiaorou was happy and proud.
It was Jiang Xiaorou and Zhou Xiaoke. As soon as they appeared, the villagers made way for them.
Everyone looked at the two girls with respect and even fawning. They knew that these two girls were the princesses of the Lian tribal clan. They had absolute authority with Yi Yun. Anyone who dared to be disrespectful to these two girls would have a death wish.
"Yes, Sis Xiaorou, you can decide how to distribute the meat!"
Yi Yun gave Jiang Xiaorou the authority to distribute the meat. Immediately, all the people of the Lian tribal clan looked at Jiang Xiaorou with tears in their eyes. They wished they could kneel down in front of Jiang Xiaorou and lick the ground.
Actually, Jiang Xiaorou was a girl after all. Although she was stronger than the average girl, it was inevitable that she would be soft-hearted.
Yi Yun had given Jiang Xiaorou a portion of the meat, but it was difficult to not give a piece to the wicked.
This was more than a hundred thousand pounds of meat. An average person could get about twenty to thirty pounds.
Yi Yun had expected this when he gave Jiang Xiaorou the authority. But it did not matter, he had other plans for today.
"Liu Tie, come over …"
Yi Yun waved at Liu Tie.
This time. Liu Tie was extremely excited!
Yi Yun had taken the initiative to call him!
This was a good sign. It proved that Yi Yun had the intention of treating him as a henchman!
Liu Tie was extremely excited as he bowed in front of Yi Yun. He cupped his fists and knelt on one knee, "Greetings Young master. Young master is wise and powerful. Desolate beasts are like dogs, fierce beasts are like chickens … "
"Enough!"
Yi Yun speechlessly interrupted Liu Tie's nonsense. For these members of the warrior preparation camp, bootlicking had become an instinct. If they did not do it, they would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Young master, I have something to report to you," Liu Tie raised his eyebrows.
"Oh?" Yi Yun frowned.
"Lian Chengyu … is dead …" Liu Tie received the news last night.
Lian Chengyu's body was already crippled, and his life force was waning. In addition, he was extremely angry these past few days, and he was in extreme despair.
"Lian" Lian "…" Lian "Lian" If he didn't want to live anymore, then of course he would die quickly.
"Zhao Tiezhu is also dead. As for Lian Cuihua, she is still alive, but now the villagers have a clear stance. They are loyal to Young Master. Everyone takes a detour when they see Lian Cuihua. They don't have any contact with her …"
The Lian tribal clan lacked food. For people like Zhao Tiezhu and Lian Cuihua who were severely injured or crippled, It was difficult to survive. Even a normal person could starve to death or get sick, what more them?
Zhao Tiezhu was freed, but Lian Cuihua was isolated by the villagers. The outcome that awaited her was obvious.
Yi Yun did not feel anything about it. If one wanted to harm others, one had to bear the consequences.
"Young master, what instructions do you have for me?" Liu Tie asked attentively.
"Oh … Liu Tie. You will supervise the distribution of the beast meat. If anyone has any ill intentions, just attack. Also, I will be leaving the Cloud Wilderness in a few days. I will bring a few hundred people with me. I have already decided on the name list. Prepare it. "
Saying that, Yi Yun handed a piece of paper to Liu Tie. Zhang Tan had promised Yi Yun that when the Jin Long Wei left, he would bring a few people to Yi Yun's fief.
It was impossible for Yi Yun to bring all the people of the Lian tribal clan to the fief. Firstly, the fief could not hold them, and secondly, most of the people of the Lian tribal clan were unruly. They were greedy, bullied the weak and feared the strong. Compared to the bullies, they were not much better. They were not as domineering as the bullies because they lacked the strength. If they had the strength, they would definitely go from bad to worse.
These people would be left in the vast wilderness to do whatever they wanted. As for the rest of the kind-hearted people, Yi Yun would bring them to his fief. This was Yi Yun's plan.
Liu Tie excitedly took the piece of paper. The other people of the Lian tribal clan also heard Yi Yun's words!
Yi Yun wanted to bring people out of the vast wilderness to his fief!
Their mouths turned dry as they looked at the piece of paper in Liu Tie's hand. It was as if the piece of paper was a precious treasure map.
Compared to a spot in the central plains, a dozen pounds of beast meat was nothing!
Indeed, Yi Yun had already planned on leaving. He could not eat the fierce beast meat, so he let Jiang Xiaorou distribute the meat. The unruly people could get a little.
With a few pounds of beast meat, they would be able to tide over the food shortage. As such, Yi Yun had done his best. After that, they could continue staying in the Cloud Wilderness. Whether they lived or died was up to them.
Liu Tie's breathing quickened. He scanned the name list. He did not know more than a hand's worth of words, but he could recognize his own name when written together.
Liu Tie saw his name.
He was extremely touched. Yi Yun had placed his name near the front. This made Liu Tie extremely grateful. He also swore that he would follow Yi Yun loyally in the future. He knew that other than sucking up to him, he did not have much ability. In the future, he would be at ease and run errands for Yi Yun.
The best thing about Liu Tie was that he knew how to read the situation. Yi Yun planned to make him a servant in the future. This would save him a lot of trouble, but that was all.
"Thank you Young master. Thank you Young master."
Liu Tie kowtowed to Yi Yun three times. He was grateful to Yi Yun from the bottom of his heart. He was determined to follow Yi Yun through fire and water without hesitation.
Who wouldn't want to follow such a master? His future would be limitless.
After the beast meat was distributed, the name list was announced. The words were told to Liu Tie by Jiang Xiaorou.
The names on the name list were the kind people that Jiang Xiaorou and Zhou Xiaoke had pointed out.
These people cried tears of joy.
As for those who were not selected, their faces turned green as if their parents had died.
The joy they had from receiving the beast meat had vanished.
The beast meat would eventually be finished. What would happen to them once it was finished?
Imagining the difficult days in the vast wilderness, they felt their future was filled with gloom and despair.
Yi Yun did not care about this. There were too many suffering people in the vast wilderness. What was a tiny Lian tribal clan? Besides, these people only had themselves to blame.
In this world, people said that good and evil would be rewarded, but that was just the good wishes of the suffering people. The Heavens were not fair. True justice was man-made.
With absolute strength, Yi Yun could set his own justice. Good would be rewarded, evil would be punished!
This was everything that strength could bring …
Yi Yun had this thought.
…
That evening, the Lian tribal clan village was in an uproar. Under Liu Tie's suggestion, they held a bonfire party in the village square. Many fierce beasts were roasted and the fragrance of the meat wafted in the air. After eating the meat, they sang and danced. Some bold lads took the opportunity to woo the ladies they liked.
Jiang Xiaorou did not participate in this bonfire party, so Zhou Xiaoke became the absolute protagonist.
Many people tried to get close to Aunt Wang with smiles on their faces. They wanted to propose marriage, but Aunt Wang only looked at them with disdain.
Hmph, you weaklings dare to have designs on my daughter. Don't think I don't know. You want to use my daughter to climb onto Kiddo Yun's boat and follow him to the central plains. Dream on!
Although my daughter is not worthy of Kiddo Yun, she is not someone you weaklings can taint. In the future, Xiaoke will be Kiddo Yun's godsister. Who knows, Kiddo Yun might like Xiaoke, and when Xiaoke grows up, he might take her in as a concubine!
This was something Aunt Wang looked forward to. Aunt Wang knew that Yi Yun would most likely marry a daughter of a famous family as his legal wife. Xiaoke being a concubine was already good enough.
With this thought, Aunt Wang treated all the people who came to propose as toads who wanted to eat swan meat. They were the kind that had lumps on their faces bigger than a normal toad's.
They didn't even look at themselves!
…
This bonfire party lasted until late at night before it ended.
The next morning, under the envious gazes of many, the people Yi Yun brought with him were divided into batches and sat in the near-horned beasts' baskets. They followed the Jin Long Wei and under Sun Jingrui's lead, they headed for the Tao tribal clan.
Along the way, everyone was overjoyed. This was their first time leaving the Lian tribal clan's wonderland. They were about to leave the vast wilderness and head for the fertile central plains. How could they not be excited?
Even Yi Yun was filled with anticipation for the future.
Not long after Yi Yun and company arrived at the Tao tribal clan, they received news that the Jin Long Wei was leaving the vast wilderness. They rested in the Tao tribal clan and a few days later, Yi Yun led the Lian tribal clan into the baskets of ten near-horned beasts. They began their journey out of the Cloud Wilderness and towards the Kingdom's central plains …
