Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 280 Surveillance

Zhao Hai has had many contacts with small tribes of orcs, but this was his first contact with a large tribe like King Xiqi.

When I had contact with those small tribes in the past, the people of those small tribes were very enthusiastic when they saw the human merchants. Some small tribes even seemed very excited. The Sheephead Hammer tribe of Spear is an example, because Zhao Hai sold him grain at a low price, and he was even willing to give Zhao Hai a friendship flag.

But here in the camp of King Xiqi, you can't see that kind of situation at all. They were not surprised at the arrival of Zhao Hai and the others, and even the children in the tribe did not come over to watch. Zhao Hai even saw a hint of contempt in the eyes of those people.

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood why the orcs looked down on them. It was because the size of their convoy was too small. One hundred trucks carrying two thousand kilograms of grain could only carry two hundred thousand kilograms of grain at most. For a person with more than one hundred thousand kilograms, For a large human tribe, this amount of food is too little.

Zhao Hai didn't pay attention. He followed the cavalry team to a corner of the camp. To Zhao Hai's surprise, the tents in this corner were all empty, and there were no orcs nearby.

The leading cavalryman rode an ox to Zhao Hai and said condescendingly: "Friends from the human race, please stay here temporarily. This is a specially built camp for our friends from the human race. You can move in directly. You can also stay here." You can ask people nearby for what you need, of course, you need something in exchange."

Zhao Hai was really flattered. He didn't expect that King Xiqi's camp would actually provide a place to stay. He quickly said: "Okay, thank you very much. Dear warrior, may I know your name?"

The bullfighting man smiled and said: "My name is Beta, you can just call me Beta."

Zhao Hai quickly smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Beta, I have prepared a small gift for you. Please accept it. If you have time, please help me tell Lord Xiqi that I really I want to negotiate a big deal with him." After saying that, he waved his hand, and Laura immediately took out a bottle of wine. Of course, this wine was not milk wine, but real human fruit wine.

Beta was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, took the fruit wine in Zhao Hai's hand and said: "You are an interesting human race, really interesting, hahaha, don't worry, I will report it to the elders."

After saying that, he patted the belly of the bull, and the bullfight he stepped off let out a moo. He turned its head and walked away, and the team of bull-headed cavalry also left with him.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly, turned to Laura and said: "It seems that the big tribe is different. It actually provides a place to live. It seems that we don't need to set up a tent. Take a look, what is in the tent." Laura and the others responded with a smile, turned around and opened the tent, while Zhao Hai directed the undead creatures to tie up the grain carts.

After Zhao Hai and the others settled down, he immediately took out some food and exchanged some milk wine and mutton with the nearby bullfighting tribesmen.

Now Zhao Hai feels even more the difference between the bullfighting people here in King Xiqi and those small tribes. King Xiqi here is more utilitarian.

This may be an inevitable phenomenon of social development. The more developed a place is, the more utilitarian people appear to be, while the smaller the place, the more humane they are.

After Zhao Hai and the others settled down, they waited quietly in the tent. They did not walk around, nor did they go out to have more contact with the orcs. They asked around and seemed very quiet.

But as soon as he entered the tent, Zhao Hai turned on the monitor in the space. He wanted to see what the situation was like around here. Soon he noticed a phenomenon. There seemed to be too many bullfighting warriors around them. There were some people wandering around their camp, scanning the camp with their eyes from time to time.

When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, and turned to Laura: "Is there any flaw in our performance? Why would they send someone to monitor us?"

Laura frowned and shook her head: "I can't think of it. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. We didn't do anything extraordinary. How could they monitor us?"

Meg looked at the screen and said: "Master, do you think they think we are spies sent by the leader of the Bullfighting Clan? When the Bullfighting Clan was dealing with the Hercules Bull Clan, there were experts from the Human Race to help, and at this time , but we suddenly appeared here, will they doubt us?"

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, it's possible that they used to have a grudge against the leader of the Bullfighting Clan, but now the Bullfighting Clan is powerful, and it's clear that they have a good relationship with the Human Race, and why are we here? Suddenly, their suspicion was possible."

Laura nodded and said: "It seems that it is right for us to stay here honestly, otherwise they will definitely do something to us. Even if we can hide in the space, they will still find us."

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "According to this situation, we stand here honestly, Cai'er." Zhao Hai called out, and Cai'er immediately appeared on her shoulders.

Zhao Hai turned to Cai'er and said: "Cai'er, can you record everything that happened here? Just record him and we will watch it afterwards?" With the video recording function, Zhao Hai remembered that most monitors have this function. , he had never used it before and never asked about it.

Cai'er nodded and said, "Yes, everything can be recorded. It will be deleted only if you don't actively ask to keep it after seven days."

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Okay, then starting from today, we will record everything that happened in King Xiqi's tribe. We will watch it at night."

Cai'er responded and returned to the space. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Friends from the human race, are you okay?"

Zhao Hai was stunned and heard that it was Beta's voice. He immediately said: "It turns out to be Brother Beta. I'm very good. Come in quickly."

Beta lifted the tent and walked in. To say that this tent is really good, it has all the things that should be in it. Zhao Hai didn't have to use the things he brought, but Laura and the others were afraid of the things in this tent. , I don’t know how many people have used it, so the things they use now are all brought by themselves.

Now Zhao Hai is sitting in the tent drinking milk tea. This milk tea is naturally obtained from the nearby orcs in exchange for food. As soon as he saw Beta coming in, Zhao Hai immediately said: "Brother Beta, come and drink a cup of hot milk tea." I finished pouring a cup of milk tea for Beta.

Beta smiled slightly, picked up the cup, drank the milk tea in one gulp, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Human friend, our elder in charge of foreign affairs wants to see you, come with me."

Zhao Hai nodded, stood up, followed Beta and walked out. As he walked, he said to Laura: "Just stay in the tent, don't run around." Laura responded with her response, and Zhao Hai When he reached the tent door, he stopped.

After walking a few meters out of the tent, Beta turned to look at Zhao Hai and said: "My human friend, why don't you look like a human businessman? Human businessmen will walk around to attract business, why don't you go?"

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Beta, how much money can you make by just doing business by yourself? How many things can you sell? It's useless. My goal now is to buy food to your tribe. That's the big deal." Business, such a small business, what’s the point of doing it or not.”

Beta looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise and said: "It seems that you really didn't lie to me. You really have a lot of food in your hands? How much?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "A lot, and the price I gave is definitely the lowest in the entire grassland."

Beta looked at Zhao Hai blankly, wondering if what Zhao Hai said was true. At this time, they also came to a large tent. This tent was larger than the ordinary orc residential tents, and outside the tent, there were also Holding a battle flag, although Zhao Hai didn't understand what it meant, he also understood that this tent was not simple.

Outside the tent, there were two guards from the bullfighting clan, standing there upright. Each of them held a huge mace in their hands, looking very powerful.

Beta walked to the door, nodded to the two guards, and led Zhao Hai into the tent. Zhao Hai felt a darkness as soon as he entered the tent. He looked at the tent. There was a lot of space inside the tent, with enough space for four people. More than ten square meters, which is not small for a tent.

The furnishings inside the tent are very strange. Most of the things that orcs would put in their homes are not in this tent. In this tent, there are mostly books and notebooks, and nothing else.

The ground is also covered with plain carpets, but it looks very low-key. There is a fire pit in the middle of the tent, with a copper kettle hanging on it, which is steaming. There is only a small table in the tent, and there is a person sitting behind the small table. , a bullfighting tribesman who looks quite young.

Some of the black hair on this bullfighter's face has turned white, and he has a lot of wrinkles, which makes him look even more aged. But his eyes were not cloudy at all. On the contrary, his eyes were very clear and sparkled with wisdom.

Beta stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the foreign affairs elder."

The old bullfighter nodded and said, "Is he the businessman you mentioned?"

Beta quickly nodded in agreement, and Zhao Hai also took a step forward, gave the old man a chest-supporting salute and said: "Zhao Hai has met the elder, thank you for the elder's meeting."

The elder nodded and waved to Beta. Beta bowed and walked outside the tent. Zhao Hai didn't say anything and still stood quietly in the tent.

The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Friends from the human race, please sit down." After thanking Zhao Hai, he stepped aside and sat on the right side of the old man.

A hint of undetectable approval flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he continued: "Friends from the human race, I heard from Beta that you have a lot of food that you want to trade with us?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, respected elder, I have a lot of food. To be honest, I am not a pure businessman. I have my own territory. The main output of my territory is food, that is, Bamboo rice, I don’t want to take advantage of those merchants, so I decided to sell it myself.”

The old man nodded and said, "How much food do you have?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Thirty million catties." He didn't say too much, for fear that the old man would be suspicious.

Although what he said was not enough in his opinion, the old man was still surprised. The old man looked up at him and said, "What about the price?"

Zhao Hai said calmly: "For every two thousand kilograms of grain, one argali sheep will be exchanged."

The old man's face was completely moved. He looked at Zhao Hai with a surprised look on his face and said, "You mean to exchange two thousand kilograms of grain for one argali? Are you sure what you are saying is true?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, respected elder, I will not joke about this kind of thing. What I said is true. Two thousand kilograms of grain are exchanged for one argali sheep."

The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said: "How is the quality of your grain? If the quality is not bad, can we give you argali when the grain arrives?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said: "There will be no problem with the quality of the food. I brought some samples. To be honest with you, elder, the food I brought is the worst batch of my food. In the future, The food I deliver will definitely be first-class. It’s okay to wait until the food arrives before giving me the argali sheep as you said. I don’t have any objections.”

The old man nodded, and then Beta's voice came again: "Elder Qi, the food has been inspected and the quality is very good."

The old man nodded, turned to look at Zhao Hai and said: "Friends from the human race, are you really not lying? Does your food have such quality?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "No, elder, the food I brought is the worst among all the food I have. The quality of my food will get better and better in the future."

The old man looked at Zhao Hai steadily, and Zhao Hai looked at him motionless. After a while, the old man nodded and said: "Friends of the human race, the deal is done. You can ask your people to transport the food. But remember, when I only give you a month and a half, I will take as much as you can bring. After a month and a half, the road will be closed due to heavy snow, and you won’t be able to bring anything in even if you want to."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, elder, it won't take that long, it will only take less than a month. Just watch. Please allow me to leave and make arrangements."

The old man nodded, and Zhao Hai slowly exited his tent and walked towards his tent. At this time, Beta walked into the old man's tent and said to the old man: "Elder, they are very honest. They almost never leave the tent and don't see any problems."

The old man nodded and said: "I think this young man is also very good. I will monitor them for a few days. If they still behave the same, then I should keep an eye on them. If they go out for activities and have contact with the tribe, find out what they are doing." If he said something normal, there would be no need to monitor them."

Beta looked at the old man puzzled and said: "Elder, why are they still behaving like this, but why do you have to monitor them even more? They are in contact with the tribe and they don't monitor them? Isn't this too abnormal?"
