Chapter 154 Excessive Demands

I can't even begin to think of such a vicious thing. But when he said it like that, it felt very feasible. Although I can't bear it in my heart, such a long life on the island has given me a deep and dark insight into human nature. To spare an enemy is to dig a trap for oneself. Although they're not really our enemies yet.

"Let's go to the seaside first." I said, "Make sure there's no one else."

Zhebie nodded, urging the others to follow closely.

When we reached the river, we continued along it. As they neared the estuary, they saw two large conjoined canoes. There was no light on board.

I've got four men on each of the two boats.

The answer was that there were only a dozen women on board, no one else, and nothing unusual was seen on shore.

Zhebie's excited suggestion: "Chief, let's kill all the women on the ship first, and then kill the others when we get back."

"Wait a minute." I grabbed hold of him and thought more.

"Have you softened, chief?" "Asked Zhebie gloomily.

I shook my head: "not softhearted, is can't kill these people now."

"Why?" Zhebie was surprised.

In no hurry to explain, I led everyone down the river.

Zhebe was a little annoyed, thinking I shouldn't have changed my mind so soon.

Once in the river, I explained, "It's too easy for us to kill them. But we can't kill them now. Only think they bring women with them to look after them. And some people can't bear the loneliness of sailing."

"Is that why you want to spare them, chief?" The philosopher became impatient.

I continued, "Of course not. In fact, I was quite surprised that they were just sending us something this time. I know, or to test our tribe. I gave it up to find out again if they had come for another purpose, and how the horde was doing."

"Does that have anything to do with us?

"There must be. If the Nanova throne is not playing it safe, he is sincere in sending his men. You're saying that in this case, we killed his closest aides? How will it affect us if the throne is taken by another grand master?"

Zhe thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"We have killed in the great tribes, especially a great master. If Nanova goes down, the horde will go all out for us. Not just about revenge, but about us being a potential threat to them."

"So we're helping Nanova stabilize the kingdom by letting these people go, but we're actually helping us?"

I held out my thumb. "You're right. The other one. It doesn't really matter to us whether we kill these people or not. A large tribe has thousands of people, thousands can be mobilized to fight, and the loss of dozens of people is irrelevant. Of course, it would do us no harm if we killed them."

Zhe don't wave his hand: "Since a lot of the situation is not very clear, then don't start at the moment. I think you are right, chief."

I smiled.

After returning to the highlands and letting them rest, I went home.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, Zhang Yutong came in to tell me that Nanova's cousin had been waiting outside to see me for a while.

I sat down in the living room and called him in. Sit directly on the floor.

He looked up at the house and said with envy, "Chief, how is your house made? The stones are so neat."

"Now, what did you want to see me about?" I didn't answer the question.

He would not give up. "Chief," he continued, "can you teach us to make stones like yours? As if it were easy. When we build walls, we use copper cones to smooth the stones."

"We'll talk about that later. First, what do you want to see me about?"

"Oh." He grinned. "That's right. Last time you left in a hurry, your Majesty felt very sorry and thought you had misunderstood him. But in his heart he regards the leader as his own brother."

"Would you like to invite me to your kingdom for a few days?" I have great channels.

He warmed up. "Naturally, that would be desirable. Our King, in order to establish a strong alliance between our kingdom and the king's tribe, and to avoid any suspicion, your King has asked me to speak to the king on his behalf. I hope the chief can marry a girl from the tribe to our King."

That made me feel better. There is no malice in asking for marriage.

"No problem. I'll ask which one of the girls is willing, and then you can take it with you." Our tribe as a whole is made up of more men than women, and it used to be easy to marry a girl, and to have a spy at Nanova's side would be great for us.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Chief, you are not just looking for a girl. Our King has already had a woman he likes."

"Who is it?

"Your Majesty said her name was Li Yunna."

"Li Yunna?" I was surprised, but it was understandable.

"Did the leader agree?" "She asked happily.

I immediately changed face: "no, Li Yunna has a man, can't marry your king, other women can."

"Oh?" He was very surprised and said, "But your Majesty says that she hasn't married yet. Isn't the king's wife always with the other two?"

I nod: "yes, Li Yunna is my third woman, just with me together."

I said it off the top of my head, the woman I covet, you can't send to Nanova.

After a long pause he said, "Since marriage is impossible, I can only make a second request."

"You say."

"Our King is in the capacity of a small zongzi, sit on the throne, everything depends on your help." He bowed and said, "Nowadays, many great lords don't really agree with you. Therefore, your Majesty hopes that the chief can send us dozens of guns and ammunition."

"I left him twenty guns and two or three hundred cartridges." This request, than want to get Li Yunna return excessive.

"But that's not enough." He cried, "The slaves have been restless ever since the chief took them away. Your Majesty can't sleep well without enough weapons to control the kingdom."

I sucked my tongue in embarrassment. "I was worried he wouldn't be able to take out the big lords, but we didn't have enough guns. Both of these requests put me in a difficult position."

He bowed his head and ponded for a while: "Chief, we have brought you so much food. You can't let us go away empty-handed, can you? What should I tell your Majesty when I get back?"

"Lu Fei." Lucie came out of the inner room. "How long are you going to talk? We need to take the bullets out and bubble them in the water, or they'll break."

As I turned to look at her, Lucie squeezed her neck and coughed. I got it right away.

"You go."

Lucie nodded and walked straight out.

"Do bullets still need to be soaked in water?"

I seriously nod: "right ah, such ability for a long time storage, bubble after a day and then take out insolate. And hide where the sun doesn't shine."

He said, "Oh, at this time, I heard a child outside Shouting for dinner. I got up and asked him to go with me.

After the meal, cousin Nanova still stayed close by me, squatting on the floor to eat.

See him staring at the other side, I looked up, see Li Yunna smile sweet walked over.

She came near, nodded to him, and sat down next to me.

"Oba, you can have this. I don't like it." She picked up a piece of fat and threw it into my bowl.

I didn't think Lucie was smart enough to arrange both in the background after eavesdropping in the back room.

The bullets nanova has left, they're a real threat to us. When she pops out and says the bullet needs a dip, cousin Nanova will believe her. But the bullet's gonna go bad. A big threat can be dealt with in a single sentence, which is a big skill.

If she had not tipped off Li Yunna and done ideological work, Li Yunna would not have taken the initiative to come to my side.

After dinner, Cousin Nanova told me, without any hospitality, that they had to hurry back to give nanova an account. After what seemed like a farewell, he did not leave. It means I have to give something in return.

I could not give him either of the two things he wanted, and I had nothing more to offer.

In order to solve the problem, I volunteered to say: "You go back to the house to have a rest for a while, I will prepare some gifts for your king, you help me take home."
