Section 84 Gossip
He slowly lowered his head, and no one could see Tian Kuang's blood-filled eyes secreting sore liquid. His tone gradually turned into a low voice: "...I'm late to go... it's all my fault... it's late to go..."
The first time Tianshuang encountered such a thing, she instinctively wanted to comfort her second brother, but she didn't know how to speak. She could only walk to Tiankuang and sit down, reach out and hold his muscular arms, and press it against her dark and soft face.
Tianfeng sighed deeply, raised his hand, and patted Tiankuang on the shoulder. After all, he was the eldest in the family. He had seen and heard of such things. The culprit was indeed Gillian's father and Changmao, but according to the common clan rules agreed by the northern barbarians, no one could convict their actions.
"What's there to cry?" Tianhao made a cold voice, prompting Tian Kuang, who was sad, to slowly raise his head. Through the fire, he saw the third brother sitting there showing fierce murderous intent: "Whoever dares to steal the woman you like, I will kill all his family."
Tianfeng quickly dissuaded: "Three, don't be so impulsive."
"I have no impulse, nor are I kidding." Tianhao's thin facial contours looked extremely hard, with a chilling cruelty: "This matter is not that easy to end. I still say the same thing. If you dare to mess with our people, I will ask him to look good. Come one by one, Changmao, a hundred people from Qinglong Village... He will pay the price for what he does!"
...
The tall and thick city walls cannot block the wind and snow. The streets of Chiti City are empty. In such weather, few people go out. Occasionally, a few figures appear, and they also wrap their clothes tightly and curl up to avoid the cold wind.
There were several braziers burning in the room of the city lord Niu Tong, and the red charcoal released warmth. He was wearing a thick fur and looked at the great wizard Wu Yuan who was burying his head in order to settle the accounts, and said in a depressed mood: "You just count on it all day, is it interesting?"
Wu Yuantou replied without any raising his mind: "You can't understand the pleasure brought by calculation. Our business is profitable. Adding up the numbers in the account book one by one is the most interesting thing in the world. A Tong, as an investor, you should participate more."
"I'm not as patient as you." Niu Tong smiled contemptuously and curled his lips: "There's something happened in the city recently, which is much more interesting than the numbers on the account book."
Wu Yuan was just a little tired. He put down the pen in his hand, moved the chair back, turned to the brazier placed on the side, felt the warmth with his cold hands, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "This is impossible. Nothing can compare to mathematics. For me, this is the most important thing."
"That's because you are ignorant." Niu Tong's sneered louder: "There is a widow who runs a hotel in the south area. He married a manager in Qinglongzhai a few months ago. Some time ago, I heard that the widow was beaten to death after marrying. Now many people in the city are talking about this matter."
"Widow?" Wu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of confusion: "When did you become interested in widow?"
Niu Tong was a little amused and crying. He suddenly found that it was really difficult for him to communicate with Wu Yuan because the thinking basis of the two people was not on the same level. Helplessly, he could only tell the story of the widow A Gillian, including her shameless father who wanted money and her intention to make money from his wife, but found that she did not get any benefits in the end. In anger, she beat A Gillian to death.
Wu Yuan was quickly attracted by the story and was fascinated by it. He suddenly realized that his so-called interest was not limited to mathematics and account books. His broad thinking and vision made him think of more questions through the matter itself: "The manager of Qinglongzhai married a woman from Chiti City. Haha, I have to say that this guy is actually quite smart. He at least understands the principle of maximizing the value of resources. It is indeed a good deal to trade with marriage for a hotel that makes money. What a pity! His father-in-law was so mean and took away the property under his daughter's name early, and even didn't give him a little dowry. If it were me, I might have the intention of killing people."
Surprisingly, Niu Tong did not agree or object as usual. He sat in the chair and pondered for a long time before he slowly said: "Ayuan, will what we are doing now push the entire tribe to the most terrible opposite?"
"The opposite?" Wu Yuan was stunned and then reacted. He smiled faintly, and his laughter was full of confidence: "Society is developing, and the power of money will always only play a driving role. Don't worry, His Highness the Lion King's plan is very careful. Look at the white people in the southern continent, their normal complex energy is equivalent to half of ours, but the degree of social evolution is extremely high. Muskets, machinery, sea boats, art... everything is ahead of us. We have been behind for too long. If we do not completely change the entire society, one day we will be so desolate that we are worse than wild animals. Believe me, the power of money can drive everything, and with stimulation and desire, people will have a powerful motivation to change themselves."
Whenever Wu Yuan made a long speech, Niu Tong felt that he could not interfere and could only be a listener. Once Wu Yuan's chat with him was aroused, it would be difficult to stop. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room: "If it were a white man in the south, the manager of Qinglongzhai would violate the law, and he would be convicted and punished."
"Southern Continent? That's too far away from us." Niu Tong shrugged: "Let's talk about Qinglong Village! The king has been secretly gathering troops there for a while. When do you think he will attack the Lu people?"
Although he is a great witch of the Leiniu tribe, Wu Yuan never respects the tribe leader as "Your Highness" or "King" in private. His elegant face showed a hint of contempt, and his left hand raised his long hair and lowered his ears were so elegant: "Niu Weibang has never had any vision. He should have seen that our Niu tribe and the Deer tribe can complement each other. He has been the leader of the Leiniu tribe for so many years and has no courage to declare war on the Deer tribe. This time, the five thousand troops were broken into pieces and quietly entered Qinglong Village to gather. Once the time came, they could easily take down Mengxiang Village. Speaking of which, Qinglong Village has benefited from it and can get some benefits."
Niu Tong observed Wu Yuan's expression change: "It seems that you have some plan?"
"You look down on me too highly." Wu Yuan sighed: "This time it's different. I'm given me a hundred courage and I don't dare to interfere."
