Chapter 148 Visiting the Ordos Tribe Again

On May 27, 49 carriages of the Hua family caravan were slowly driving on the road with full cargo. The four horses pulling the wheels made a "squeaking" sound as they could not bear the weight.

Fortunately, the Hua family carriages were specially reinforced, and many places were made of spiritual wood. Although the carriages looked dangerous, they could still travel on the road with difficulty.

Huang, Geng and other four families arrived at the Hua family carriages. The cargo had increased by more than one person overnight. Although they were curious, they did not ask. Under the leadership of the Hua family caravan, the caravan slowly drove towards the Ordos tribe.

After walking more than ten miles in an hour, Hua Kai saw a group of cavalry in front of them. It seemed that there were several thousand people. The other party saw the Hua family caravan and all came over.

When there were still hundreds of meters away from the caravan, a leader-like man rode over. Hua Kai recognized him as a flag owner of the Ordos tribe, who had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi training.

"Master Hua, it's really you! The clan leader has been asking us to pay attention to when you will come these days!" The flag owner saw Hua Kai and came over and said happily.

"We didn't go to the Huhan tribe this year, but came directly here. How is the clan leader Tiefa?" Hua Kai rode out of the caravan and asked with a smile.

"Very good! Brothers, lead the caravan, we are going home!" The flag owner confirmed that it was the Hua family caravan and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him.

More than 3,000 cavalry divided 1,000 to lead the way in front of the caravan, 1,000 divided into more than 10 teams to send each other on both sides of the caravan, and another 1,000 followed the caravan. They saw that the Hua family actually brought so many goods this year, and all the cavalry were very happy in their hearts. The more goods they had, the more they could exchange.

After walking a few miles, they could vaguely see the outline of the Ordos tribe. This year, the Ordos tribe seemed to be more than twice as large as last year. I don't know if they have been promoted to a large tribe. The influence and appeal of a large tribe are not comparable to that of a medium-sized tribe.

At this time, Hua Kai saw a huge cavalry coming from a distance. It seemed that there were tens of thousands of people. Many people in the Hua family were inevitably timid when they saw this. Such grassland cavalry was not comparable to the bandits who got together. The Hua family caravan might not be able to stop the charge of tens of thousands of troops.

The old Hua family members shouted happily when they saw this. They saw that the leader of the opposite cavalry was the leader of the Tiefa tribe and the prince of Chaganbala, and there were a group of flag owners and important members of the tribe following behind.

"Brother Hua, you are finally here!" The leader of the Tiefa tribe looked at the carriage full of goods of the Hua family caravan and said happily.

"It's relatively early this year. How is the leader of the Tiefa tribe recently?" Hua Kai stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Good, very good! Let's go home first. We have to have a good chat tonight!" The leader of the Tiefa tribe rode to Hua Kai and dismounted. The main members of the Ordos tribe also dismounted, and some tribal soldiers led their horses away.

Several main members of the Hua family also dismounted and handed their horses to other members behind them. The Ordos tribe did this as if they were welcoming the tribal family members who had returned victoriously, giving the Hua family the most intimate way of welcoming.

All the people in front dispersed and stood on both sides of the road to express their welcome. Hua Kai and Chief Tiefa walked side by side in the front, and the caravan and important members of the Ordos tribe followed them on foot. For everyone, this moment is worth celebrating.

"This year, the tribe seems to be much more lively than last year. I wonder how the Wuzhui tribe is doing now? What is the attitude of the Huhan tribe after the Hua family caravan left?" Hua Kai asked as he walked beside Chief Tiefa. What he was most concerned about was the current situation of the Ordos tribe.

"Last year we went to the Wuzhui tribe, and the main members of the other side had abandoned the tribe and fled. We got tens of thousands of slaves and countless cattle and sheep. The Huhan tribe sent people, but in the end they didn't say anything. Now all the small and medium tribes within a radius of 300 miles have surrendered to the Ordos tribe. The Zhizhi tribe also sent people, but this spring, the Zhizhi tribe convened a meeting of the Xiongnu tribes, and the Ordos tribe was not invited!" Chief Tiefa said to Hua Kai.

The Zhizhi tribe is the only super tribe in the Xiongnu grassland, with a population of more than 300,000 and occupying the most fertile grassland in the north of the Xiongnu country. Zhizhi Shansu is the only foundation-building existence in the Xiongnu country and the nominal master of all Xiongnu tribes.

"The ten great tribes of the Xiongnu have been on the Xiongnu grassland for hundreds of years. It is not easy to change. I think the scale of our tribe is not small this year. The population is probably more than half of last year. At least the Ordos tribe has the strength of a large tribe. The Zhizhi tribe must consider the influence of the Ordos tribe anyway."

Hua Kai comforted the Tiefa tribe leader while checking his attributes. It only took him one year to improve his strength to the fourth level of the Xiantian realm. It may be that he stayed in the Qi training realm for too long and his strength entered the outbreak period.

"There are only 60,000 or 70,000 people in the tribe! The number of slaves has exceeded 100,000. It is not easy to increase the number of people in the tribe. By the way, how many pills did Brother Hua bring this year? I have used up all the pills here a long time ago, and my weapons..."

"I brought a lot of pills, and the weapons will satisfy the Tiefa tribe leader!"

Hua Kai then remembered that the weapons he promised to the Tiefa tribe leader had not been forged yet. There were plenty of refining materials in his space, and the [Gold Body Pill] could be refined later.

As for the elixir this time, Hua Kai saw that there were several more Qi training realms in the Ordos tribe, and he thought that his elixir must have contributed a lot. He asked the Tiefa tribe leader to collect spiritual medicine for him. I wonder how they collected it!

It took nearly an hour for everyone to walk all the way to the Ordos tribe. Following the guidance of the Tiefa tribe leader, they came to the core of the tribe. This year, the Ordos tribe specially opened up a piece of open space for them, which was enough for them to camp and trade with the tribe.

After parking all the carriages, the Tiefa tribe leader invited Hua Kai to attend the welcome banquet held by the tribe. Hua Kai brought more than ten important members of the family and the leaders of the Huang, Geng, Yue, and Chen families to the banquet.

A huge wind-dried spiritual cow is still the protagonist today. Hua Kai and Prince Chaganbala sat on both sides of the Tiefa tribe leader, and beautiful women in gorgeous clothes poured mare's milk for them.

"Brother Hua, thanks to the [Snowflake Salt] you brought, we captured 16 wild buffalo kings two months ago when the grassland animals migrated. This year, the tribe pickled 16 air-dried spirit cattle. If you want, you can take a few more with you when you leave." Chief Tiefa said happily while drinking mare's milk.

"Thank you so much. Last year, the air-dried spirit cattle saved the lives of our caravan!" Hua Kai told Chief Tiefa about the continuous heavy rain when he returned home last year. Everyone in the Ordos tribe also realized the difficulty of traveling for business after hearing this.

"This year, the caravan brought a lot of things. I wonder if Brother Hua can introduce them to us so that we can all be happy!" Chief Tiefa couldn't wait to know what goods the Hua family caravan brought this year. You know, their tribe has nearly 200,000 slaves, and if you count the affiliated small and medium-sized tribes, the total amount of goods they need is not small.

"This time, the Hua family caravan brought 1,200 dan of grain, 100 dan of snowflake salt, 20 dan of refined salt, 1,300 pieces of coarse cloth, 270 pieces of fine cloth, 450 pieces of brocade, 50 large jars of fine wine, 15,000 jin of white sugar, 10,000 jin of refined tea, 8,000 pieces of brick tea, 264 fourth-grade weapons, 1,850 third-grade weapons..." Hua Kai reported the list of goods, and all the people in the Ordos tribe were excited. So many goods are enough for their tribe to use for a year, especially food. Although 1,200 dan is not much for a large tribe of more than 100,000 people, it can change their appetite. Food on the grassland is much more expensive than meat.

"Haha, did everyone hear that? Everyone has a share of this cargo. This [snowflake salt] is 100 dan? Brother Hua, are you sure you are not wrong?" Chief Tiefa asked.

100 dan is equal to 20,000 jin. Even if everyone in their entire tribe eats it, they can't use it up in a year. In the future, they are afraid that they will not have salt to make dried spirit cattle.

"We'll talk about the other things in detail later!" Hua Kai meant that there was no more, no less, and Chief Tiefa nodded gently.

"After the Hua family caravan left, we have been collecting various spiritual medicines, and now there are thousands of them. It seems that paying for these goods is not enough now. Brother Hua, please come to the account tonight. I have important things to discuss with Brother Hua." Chief Tiefa said.

Everyone present heard that their family leader attached great importance to the Hua family caravan. This is to discuss the future of the Ordos tribe with Hua Kai. And it seems that the caravan also brought a lot of unknown goods. Everyone couldn't help but think of the changes in the tribe since they met the Hua family caravan, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but have a little more caution.

Huang Guangwen and Yue Jiateng attended this kind of grassland banquet for the first time. Seeing that the Hua family was so warmly welcomed by the Ordos tribe, they had a new understanding of the strength of the Hua family. Looking at the Hua family and others sitting in front, they couldn't help but feel more excited. As long as they follow the footsteps of the Hua family, the prosperity of the family in the future is inevitable.

Halfway through the banquet, Hua Kai asked someone to go back to the caravan and take out three kinds of fine wine for everyone to taste. After tasting them, everyone was full of praise. Hua Kai then asked Chief Tiefa about the method of this transaction. After all, the Hua family's business this time was based on the relationship between the two families.

"Brother Hua, I won't say much about the relationship between our two families. Just ask for whatever the Hua family needs. As long as the Ordos tribe has it, you can pick it. The price will be decided by the two of us. I plan to take half of this batch of goods. The snowflake salt will be distributed by the main account. The Hua family can trade the rest of the goods in the tribe at will. What do you think?" Chief Tiefa thought for a while and said.

Although Chief Tiefa is the chief of the tribe, the entire tribe has more than ten flags. He needs to control the distribution of most of the goods in order to better lead the entire tribe. Refined salt can be regarded as a strategic material for the grassland, and he must try to control it in his own hands.

Chief Tiefa said so, and all the flag owners sitting below did not raise any objections. Hua Kai saw that there were several new flag owners this year, which might be the tribes that Chief Tiefa had taken over after he left.
