Chapter 57 Cooperation

"This is the air-dried spiritual beef, please taste it!" Chief Tiefa sat on the main seat outside the tent, Hua Kai sat on his side, Hua Zichen and several flag owners of the Ordos tribe sat on both sides, and servants brought the cut air-dried spiritual beef to their table.

This air-dried spiritual beef tasted just like the Spanish ham that Hua Kai had eaten in his previous life, but this spiritual beef was much more delicious than ham. The air-dried beef had a smooth feeling when bitten into the mouth, and it felt like the beef melted in the mouth after a few chews. Hua Kai had never experienced this feeling before.

"This cow has been kept in the tribe for more than 30 years. It is of relatively good quality. I remember that the year I hunted it was the first time I hunted with my father. My two uncles died on the grassland because of this hunt, but we killed it. When my father and I brought it back to the tribe, it weighed 16,400 kilograms. I can still remember it vividly now!" Chief Tiefa looked at the dried spiritual cow hanging in the air and being decomposed bit by bit. There were nearly a thousand people participating in the bonfire party this time, and everyone could taste the deliciousness of the dried spiritual cow.

Hua Kai looked at the cow king that had been hidden for 30 years. It looked smaller than an ordinary cow. This was because the moisture in the meat decreased over time. Tonight, Chief Tiefa let him sit in the second seat at the bonfire party, which meant that the dried spiritual cow was opened to entertain himself. So no matter how much dried spiritual cow the three of them ate, the whole dried spiritual cow was considered to be entertaining themselves. Chief Tiefa gave him enough face.

"Chief Tiefa! I wonder if your tribe's dried spirit cattle are for sale. The Hua family wants to buy a few!"

Watching couples of men and women dancing by the bonfire, they had eaten so much mutton and dried spirit beef, so they had to be active tonight, Hua Kai said to Chief Tiefa beside him.

Everyone at the table was from a large family in the Ordos tribe, and everyone looked at their chief quietly. The dried spirit cattle represented extraordinary significance to the Xiongnu, and not everyone could buy them.

"Since the Hua family wants it, I will sell you one today. I hope that our two families can cooperate more in the future... But if you want to take a dried spirit cattle, I'm afraid you won't be able to take much goods!" Chief Tiefa said directly.

"Don't worry, Chief Tiefa. The Hua family still has some special goods that I believe you will like. It should be enough to exchange for a dried spirit cow." Hua Kai still has 7 [Peeling Yuan Pills] left in the space from the last time he refined them. He tried to store the pills in the space and the efficacy would not weaken with the passage of time. These 7 pills should be enough to exchange for a dried spirit cow.

"Oh! Really? I'm a little curious. I wonder what goods the Hua family has that can compare to a dried spirit cow?"

Hua Kai heard Chief Tiefa's tone suddenly become a little unfriendly. He saw that all the flag owners of the Ordos tribe were looking at him angrily, and he knew that he had said something wrong.

The dried spirit cow represents a kind of tribal honor in the Xiongnu tribe. Chief Tiefa has agreed to exchange one for Hua Kai, which means he has regarded the Hua family as a friend. Hua Kai's tone of voice showed contempt for the "dried spirit cow", so everyone was dissatisfied.

"This... Chief Tiefa, can we come into the tent to talk?" Hua Kai knew that he had to make the other party dispel his view that he despised the glory of Ordos today, otherwise the Hua family caravan might really be left behind. You know, no matter where you go, the glory of the family is more important than anything else.

This incident also reminded Hua Kai again that he must be very careful when talking outside and respect the other party's culture and customs, otherwise he would not know how to offend people.

"Really! Then... let's all play here! I will go into the tent to talk with the head of the Hua family!" Chief Tiefa also knew that Hua Kai did not mean it, so he took Hua Kai back to the tent. Hua Zichen was about to get up to apologize to his nephew, but was stopped by Hua Kai with his eyes. He could feel that Chief Tiefa had no ill will towards him.

After entering the tent, Hua Kai quietly took out the box containing [Peking Yuan Dan] from his personal space and put it into his sleeve. Fortunately, his sleeves were wide and it was relatively easy to hide a box.

"What does Patriarch Hua want to exchange for the tribe's dried spirit cattle? Could it be that he wants to exchange it for the magic weapon inherited from the family?" Chief Tiefa deliberately said.

"Chief Tiefa is joking! I have some pills here. I wonder how much gold do you think they are worth?" Hua Kai took out the [Peking Yuan Pill] box from his sleeve and said to Chief Tiefa.

"Pills? Let me see!" Chief Tiefa took the pill box and opened it hurriedly. He smelled a strong pill fragrance. This must be a real pill, and it is a pill of good quality.

"Yes, it is a pill that strengthens the body and strengthens the body. How much do you plan to sell these pills for?" Chief Tiefa stared at the [Peking Yuan Pill] and was unwilling to leave for a moment.

"300 gold for one pill, 2,000 gold for 7 pills." Hua Kai thought for a while and said.

"It's appropriate! This pill is worth the price. I want all 7 pills. Tomorrow, you will count all the goods of the caravan. If you need to exchange for any goods, go to my son Chaganbala. They will help you choose the best goods. By the way, do you have other pills? It's best to have pills that can heal injuries!" Chief Tiefa seemed to be in a good mood. Even if he didn't use these pills, they would be very useful for the young people in the tribe.

"This... Chief Tiefa! You also know that the Hua family is just an ordinary family, not even a noble family in Qi State, so I hope you can help the Hua family keep the secret of the pills!"

"You must have a powerful alchemist behind you to have such a good pill. Maybe your strength is almost building a foundation. Why do you still want to cover it up? You people in the Central Plains like this. You like to surprise others and give others a sudden shock, right?" Chief Tiefa asked with interest.

"This is not something the Hua family can decide. The alchemist does not want to be announced to the world too early. He must have his own ideas. The Hua family can only follow his instructions." Hua Kai pretended that the Hua family was helping a powerful alchemist, so that he could better contact the Ordos tribe in the future.

"Okay! I will keep this elixir. Tomorrow, if you need anything, just go to my son Chaganbala. The Ordos tribe will take any other elixirs, especially healing elixirs. I can give you a satisfactory price."

Hua Kai nodded and left. He was not worried that the other party would not acknowledge the elixir.

After leaving the tent, Hua Zichen and Han Jinsheng hurried over. Hua Kai and the Ordos tribe's flag masters bowed and said goodbye one by one. After today, the relationship between the Ordos tribe and the Hua family will be completely different.

On the way back to the caravan, Hua Kai told his uncle about the deal he had made with the leader of the Tiefa tribe. Although he spoke in Qi language, Han Jinsheng also heard the general idea. At this moment, Han Jinsheng suddenly wished that he was also a member of the Hua family. He had experienced much more in the Hua family than in the Huhan tribe, and he could also get unprecedented respect from here.

"What's wrong! Are you suddenly unhappy?" Hua Kai saw Han Jinsheng found that his loyalty value had increased from 39 points to 57 points, and he was alone and unhappy, so he asked.

"No... nothing!" Han Jinsheng was a little afraid to look Hua Kai in the eye.

"Are you interested in joining the Hua family? I think you are very good these days. If you join the Hua family, your family will have no worries about food and clothing. If you follow the caravan every year, you can earn at least 10 gold." Hua Kai knew that it was time to win over Han Jinsheng.

Not to mention Han Jinsheng's understanding of the Xiongnu, his Kaiyuan Realm 9th level A- qualification alone is worth Hua Kai's winning over.

"It's impossible. Our leader won't agree. All of us are the leader's property since we were born. Therefore, we can leave the tribe only because of the captain's face. If I don't go back, my parents, three wives, nine children and several brothers will be executed by the leader!" Han Jinsheng said with some fear.

Hua Kai saw that his loyalty dropped from 57 points to 46 points.

"These are not a problem. As long as you are willing, I can buy the freedom of you and your family for 20 gold. If 20 gold is not enough, I will give 50 gold. If 50 gold is not enough, I will give 100 gold."

The lives of grassland civilians are very cheap. If it was Han Jinsheng alone, Hu Kai estimated that he could take him for at most 10 gold. Han Jinsheng's eyes were a little red when he heard this. Hua Kai saw that his loyalty value "beat by beat" rose to more than 60 points, which was already a very safe value.

After returning to the caravan at night, Hua Kai finished telling everyone about the Three Kingdoms, and then discussed the sale of elixirs with his grandfather, uncle, Yu Jun, and housekeeper. Everyone was very happy about the attitude of the Tiefa clan leader. The Hua family could have a relationship with a powerful country master, which was unimaginable for ordinary families.

After everyone went to bed, Hua Kai entered the [Family Secret Space]. After 6 days, Hua Kai tried every means to improve the family's luck value every day. Now the family's luck value has risen to 98 points, and it has risen by 86 points in 6 days. This can only be said that the luck value is too low and it is easy to rise. With such a luck value, there should be no unexpected things in the family.

After summarizing the spiritual medicines collected today, Hua Kai found that he could refine another furnace of new elixirs, named [Ninglu Dan]. The secondary medicine used is very simple. It can improve people and attention and help improve personal willpower. For people with martial arts or high willpower, this elixir is not very effective. But for the situation where few people in the grassland practice mental methods and martial arts, this [Ninglu Dan] is very effective.

[Condensed Dew Pill] is a 3rd-grade ordinary pill, and one furnace requires 3 points of luck. [Rejuvenation Pill] is a 2nd-grade ordinary pill, mainly composed of blood red flowers, and one furnace requires 2 points of luck.

Hua Kai spent 9 points of luck to refine 3 furnaces of [Rejuvenation Pill] and 1 furnace of [Condensed Dew Pill] at night, and a total of 14 [Rejuvenation Pill] and 4 [Condensed Dew Pill] were produced.

After Hua Kai refined these pills, there were still 13 spiritual medicines in the space, but the secondary medicine had not been found yet, so he could not make pills. He sent all the spiritual medicines to the [Alchemy Room], so that he would not be afraid of the weakening of the medicinal properties over time, and it could also save him space.

With these [Rejuvenation Pills], he would not be afraid of getting injured in battle. According to the system introduction of [Rejuvenation Pills], all external injuries can be quickly saved as long as the person is not dead.

The next morning, Hua Kai saw the prince of the Ordos tribe who was testing the strength of the Hua family coming. This prince is very different from the Tiefa tribe leader in terms of appearance, temperament, qualifications and strength. Hua Kai finds it hard to believe that the two can be father and son.

"Meet the head of the Hua family. My father sent me to receive the goods of the Hua family. You can ask me any request. My father said that the Hua family can choose the slaves in the prisoner-of-war camp at will. I can take you to the tribe flags to choose horses." The other party was very polite to Hua Kai today, and his attitude was completely different from the day before yesterday. Perhaps this is why he can please the Tiefa tribe leader even though he is not very strong.

"Prince Chaganbala..."

"The head of the Hua family can call me Chaganbala. It is the rule of the grassland that I offended him the day before yesterday. From now on, our two families will be best friends. Why did the head of the Hua family go back so early at the bonfire party yesterday? I originally wanted to get close to you..."

Hua Kai finally understood after hearing Chaganbala's words that whether it is the Central Plains or the grassland, the nobles of the family are very good at superficial work. As long as you don't feel embarrassed when you say something, it is the other party who is embarrassed. Thick skin is the biggest advantage.

Hua Kai organized his family members to count all the goods of the caravan. The total value of the goods was 1,160 gold, and the other party did not bargain at all. Hua Xing signaled his grandson with his eyes from time to time, asking him whether he should sell all the goods in the portable space. Hua Kai signaled him not to worry.

Today is only June 6th, and there are still 24 days before the agreed return date. If he can complete all the purchases in the Ordos tribe, Hua Kai also wants to go deeper into the grassland to have a look. With the current strength of the Hua family, the big tribe of the Xiongnu Kingdom can also be contacted.

At noon, all the goods were handed over. Hua Kai left half of the people to look after the caravan and slaves, and he went to the prisoner-of-war camp of the Ordos tribe with his grandfather, fifth uncle and nearly 30 people. Hua Kai heard about the Ordos tribe prisoner-of-war camp from Han Jinsheng the day before yesterday. It was the most powerful prisoner-of-war camp under the Huhan tribe. In every battle, the Ordos prisoner-of-war camp always rushed to the front and made countless military exploits for the tribe.

After following Chaganbala on horseback for more than ten miles, Hua Kai and his group finally saw a huge camp.

The tents here all looked extremely old. Many ragged slaves walked around with dull eyes under the whip of some soldiers. Some slaves were learning to form a battle array. It was much more lively than the slave settlement area of ​​the Huhan tribe.

"This is our prisoner of war camp 1. All of them are the strongest slaves. You can choose any slaves you need." Chaganbala pointed to the endless tents and said.

Hua Kai saw that there were at least tens of thousands of slaves in this prisoner of war camp, and these slaves were between 16 and 40 years old. Among them, there were some slaves in the late Kaiyuan realm. If this fighting force was in Qi State, no family would be the opponent of the Ordos tribe except the Qi family and several major families in Linzi City.

"This... Can these slaves be selected?" Hua Xing saw a team of hundreds of slaves wearing thick leather armor and training. Their strength was actually above the Kaiyuan realm. This slave team should be the core fighting force of the entire slave camp.
