After the immortal disappeared

Yingren's task was done well, and Yaoguo was very satisfied. Sure enough, he fulfilled his promise, not only exempting the Ying people from their debts, but also no longer interfering with their selling horses.

After receiving this good news, the Ying tribe rejoiced and the bonfire in Chigu stayed alive for three days.

Axun couldn't be happy.

He thought more and more than before, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Mengmeng, who had become his wife, noticed his worry: "What are you worried about?"

"There is a price." Axun looked at the bonfire that dyed half the sky red, "There is a price for doing this. I'm afraid that my father can't afford it, and my clan can't afford it either."

"You're worrying too much." Mengmeng rested the tip of her chin on his shoulder, "Can you still bear it when you think of Yao Kingdom's mission? Axun, you are such a gentle person."

Axun smiled and gently pressed his palm on her lower abdomen: "You can always turn my weaknesses into strengths, unlike my father who directly calls me weak and beautiful."

"Although I respect the clan leader very much, I still want to say that being brave, fighting, and killing is not considered a true hero!"

Axun teased his wife: "Then tell me, what is a hero?"

Mengmeng thought for a long time before saying: "He is the one who can lead everyone forward and make the people live a good life."

"Isn't it father?"

"I don't know." Mengmeng flattened his mouth and pointed forward, "Stop talking about this! We haven't been so happy for a long time, let's go and have some fun too."

"They don't know anything." Axun said quietly, "No one has taught them right and wrong, good and bad, and no one has taught me. But I always feel that we have done something wrong."

How wrong!

"At least the patriarch is right. As long as we are strong, there is nothing wrong." His wife grabbed his hand, "Let's go, don't stay in the house all the time!"

Axun's worries soon came true, and Yingren's joy did not last long.

Yao State no longer restricts them from selling horses, but Yao State no longer buys horses from them. There are also great pastures and great horses in other parts of the Golden Plains, and people don’t necessarily have to buy them from Yingren.

The original order for nine hundred horses per year was gone.

Yaoguo also gave them some eye drops, letting Yingren understand that being separated from its wings and control may not be a blessing.

The clan leader didn't take it seriously at first. Once the order was gone, it was gone. If he sold it to others for a higher price, the Ying clan could still make more money.

But he soon discovered that there was no "other".

The news that the Ying tribe massacred opinion leaders spread like wildfire in the Golden Flash Plains. Others originally looked at the Ying clan with indifference or contempt, but now they have turned into hatred.

This is a bad signal, and all the surrounding forces understand that the Ying clan has turned to the opposite side.

No force is willing to do business with the Ying people. When ordinary people see them, their first reaction is to spit and curse.

Their horses cannot be sold.

At this point, the clan leader still didn't care. What does it matter if they don’t buy from nearby areas? The worst they can do is sell them far away. There is a large volume of goods in Julu Port, and people regularly want to buy horses. What are they afraid of?

However, the biggest trouble came immediately:

The Ying people cannot buy food.

Their territory was more suitable for raising horses, so only a small amount of farmland was opened up, and most of the food had to be imported from other places. In the past, they bought grain from Yao and Luodian countries, but from now on, they won't sell it anymore!

The reason is also the same, that is, there is a famine this year, the domestic grain reduction has decreased, and it is not enough to supply my own family. How can I still have the surplus grain to sell to Yingren?

Yingren said yes, if you don't want to sell it, I'll find someone else to buy it.

Trouble is, there's no one else around either.

Other surrounding forces were unwilling to buy horses from Ying Ren, nor were they willing to sell grain to them.

People are like rice and steel, and they will be hungry if they don't eat for a day. Moreover, if a horse wants to be well-raised, it must eat beans, oats and other grains.

Therefore, Yingren must find a way to solve the belly problem of people and horses. If you really want to buy grain, there are still some channels, but the price is ridiculously high, and the price is one per day.

Axun knew who was controlling the price of food.

Food is so expensive, how many days can Yingren's money last? It won't be long before they have to go to Yaoguo to get money and food on credit.

The debt you finally got rid of will have to be returned when the time comes.

What is the difference between this and before, except that the reputation of Yingren is worse and even more unacceptable to other countries?

They seem to be trapped in a vicious cycle again.

The soldiers of the Yao Kingdom played them around without a fight and forced them back to their old ways.

Axun thought more and more. The words of the opinion leader who was killed by his father seemed to come true one by one before he died.

Killing him will not bring a better life to the Ying people.

In the afternoon of this day, the clan killed several old horses.

They have to consume food and grass when they are alive, but they can still feed people when they are dead.

The horses' cries were heard, and the women in the clan couldn't help crying.

These horses are their favorites, but horses cannot compete with people for food, so they can only be disposed of.

If we can't get food anymore, more and more horses will be killed later.

The clansmen could only kneel down and beg the clan leader to find a solution quickly, and the latter lived up to expectations and quickly came up with countermeasures:

Attack the Tong people.

The Tong people are neighbors of the Ying people, living across the river, but their relationship is very bad. There have been constant conflicts for a long time. The last time they joined forces with other tribes to attack the Ying people.

In that battle, the Ying people lost more than 30 people, and more than 300 sheep and horses were taken away. The scars on many warriors are from that time.

The most important thing is that the Tong people just recently bought a large amount of grain.

Being able to take revenge and fill their stomachs, there was almost no opposition from the Ying clan.

Axun has no reason to object. The tribes around Chigu are always fighting. Can he stop them from taking revenge?

But he knew deep down that something was wrong, and it was getting more and more wrong.

Just do it. That night happened to be dark and windy, so Ying Ren quietly crossed the river with her weapons. Under the leadership of the clan leader, she caught her opponent by surprise!

This is a battle, a complete victory.

Now that we have food and money, we don’t have to worry about food and drink for the time being.

Neighbors I have long hated will no longer be able to fight against them.

This is the rat hole dug in the lean years. Open your mind, open your mind, and your troubles will be solved.

But at the celebration banquet with a roaring bonfire, the clan leader grabbed the wine glass and proposed a new goal:

Attack Zini!

Everyone was red-faced after drinking, and they were originally excited, but when they heard this sentence, they all looked at each other.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold.

Ah, what?

Zini can also be regarded as Yingren's neighbor, facing them across Mount Kyung.

Although they are only separated by a mountain, the Yingren's territory is suitable for raising horses, but the Ziniren's territory is fertile black soil, which is most suitable for farming. Therefore, Zini has always been a large granary in the central and western parts of the Golden Flash Plains. The grain it produces is of high quality and quantity, and can be supplied to many surrounding areas.
