Chapter 9: Two words softly weigh a thousand pounds

There are nearly a hundred tribes of certain size around Xidu, with at least hundreds of people and up to thousands of people. Some tribes are very powerful and have more than one Qi Refiner. Ordinary warriors from various tribes have been tempered in harsh environments for a long time. Each of them is very brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and has a very considerable strength.

In addition, the small settlements scattered between the mountains are densely populated by stars, and there are countless.

Xidu has a population of tens of thousands, which can be said to be a comprehensive crush compared to any tribe. However, if all tribes unite, Xidu will be difficult to withstand without the powerful Qi-refining cultivator.

This is also the reason why many barbarian tribes jointly attacked.

They lived in this land for generations, and were children of jungle and thorns. They were born free, and for no reason, there was a king who could dominate their destiny, and no one wanted to accept it.

The former King Xi was too powerful, and they had no choice but to surrender to the feet of the strong and suffered from the power of Xidu.

Now that the opportunity has come, they are reluctant to accept the rule of others.

When King Xinxi summoned the representatives of these tribes to worship in public, all the tribe envoys present took a deep breath.

Today is the beginning of their regaining freedom, they are not fighting alone, and behind them are all the tribes.

With a great mission, representatives of the tribes walked out of the crowd.

There were ten people in the group, most of whom were wearing zipper clothes inside and animal leather armor on the outside, without crowns on the head, shawls like birds' nests, straw sandals under their feet, and some of them wore leather boots produced by Xidu, which looked rather shabby overall.

These people are also well-known figures in their respective tribes, which shows the living standards of other people in the tribe.

"See the king!"

Ten messengers bowed to pay homage, and on the surface they were very respectful.

However, the next moment, not only the senior management of Xidu, but also the people of Xidu were filled with a burst of laughter!

The barbarian tribe did not even prostrate themselves to worship!

"These barbarians are so bold and so rude. Today's pilgrimage is not an ordinary reception. They are not even arguing with each other. This is provoking our Xidu!"

The people were shocked and angry.

What the people can see in front of us is that the expressions on the senior executives of Xidu are naturally even more ugly.

Cangman was furious and blushed, his face turned red and his neck was thick. If it weren't for this solemn occasion, if the king and the witch hadn't spoken, he would have cut off the barbarians in front of him with an axe!

Wu Tong, who was always kind and kind, had a blue face at this moment, and he kept rubbing a witch stick with one hand, silent.

The bald dragon was so angry that his nose was crooked. He had never been so embarrassed and angry, let alone the shame and provocation came from the dog he had raised in the past, which was so frustrating that it hurt him internally.

After a brief hustle and bustle, the huge venue fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were gathered on the new king of Xiguo.

The whole country of Xiguo was paying attention to how their king should punish each other; while the ten representatives of the tribe alliance who had finished their rites were raising their courage, holding their chests and heads, looking like a villain was arrogant when he was successful.

Today, Yao Yun was wearing gorgeous princely uniforms and sat high on the tiger skin throne. When everyone's eyes were on him, he unexpectedly did not have anger, and even could not find a trace of anger on his face.

His face is full of spring breeze, amiable.

"No need to be polite. Gu is here to welcome the arrival of all the envoys. I heard that the leaders of each tribe have something to do and cannot come. Gu is very considerate. After all, it is autumn now and we need to prepare for winter."

Yao Yun's words suddenly stunned everyone. King Xinxi didn't even hold the other party's rudeness accountable. Everyone stood on his head and scattered and peed, and he was thinking about others and talking. This was too confused.

Cang Man, who has always been a flatterer, doesn't understand his king's behavior. The bald dragon who was observing secretly snorted coldly and turned his head away, muttering, "It's so cowardly that the mud can't support the wall!"

The representatives of the "Tribal Alliance" became even more arrogant.

Xidu really suffered heavy losses and was unable to rule them. The freedom they had always dreamed of was coming soon.

When they go back, they will become heroes in major tribes!

However, Yao Yun then said another sentence, which soon changed the face of the "Tribal Alliance".

"I understand the leaders of major tribes very well, and I am also very worried about the subjects living in the mountains and forests. Today, Xidu has encountered many things. Materials may be much scarce compared to previous years. Food, salt and so on are relatively in short supply. I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with the leaders of various tribes, but unfortunately..."

What does it mean to talk lies with your eyes open? Yao Yun is now.

The grain harvest this year is very good, and it is a good harvest. Beans, millet and millet are piled up in the granary. In addition, trade with the caravans of the Xia Dynasty, there is no shortage of food for winter. The people know this and the tribes are also very clear about it.

As for salt, it is even more nonsense. Xidu produces salt, and the salt well was discovered two years ago. It is impossible for salt deficiency to occur. Everyone knows this!

However, just like this, they talked lies with their eyes open, but everyone appreciated the coldness of the winter. Only then did they know King Xi’s true intention.

"King, this year it's a bumper harvest. Why is food scarce and how can there be less salt?"

"If you say less, you will be less. Do you have any problems?"

Now, the tribal envoys who originally fought for "freedom" suddenly panicked. Everyone didn't care about freedom anymore. If they couldn't eat enough, freedom would be useless.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this."

"King, every year we buy food and salt from Xidu, how can there be any problems this year..."

All the brave warriors with their heads raised their heads and chests lost their inch. How could they not know that King Xi was talking nonsense, and everything was just to punish them for disrespect to King Xi.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. There was no Xi Kingdom before. These tribes thrived on this land, and their lives were very difficult. The arrival of Xi Kingdom brought about huge changes. Unconsciously, they had become accustomed to the changes in life, as if everything was taken for granted.

However, at this time, King Xinxi's light words gave all tribal envoys a blow. They were no longer the sons of the jungle who were unrestrained in the past. They had a beautiful hope, a bond, and a beautiful life that they were unwilling to give up.

In the blink of an eye, the barbarians who were previously arrogant and domineering and unruly showed fear and regret on their faces. While they were making excuses, they bent their waists and knelt more piously. This dramatic scene really shocked the people of Xidu.

King Xi just said a few words softly, but he had the power of a thousand pounds. This was really amazing.

But at this moment, a person came out of the "Tribal Alliance". He was the only one who was not panicked. He stood up and pretended to be respectful:

"King Xi, you are making things difficult for everyone. I'm afraid that the leaders of all tribes will be unhappy. Please think twice!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience changed color.
