Vol 2 Chapter 16 (2/2)
And then, he hurriedly caught the tribesmen all stared at him with envy
“Let’s go” Ning looked at Mowu and Autuht into the Metalstone Tribe
Ning could easily have given an even ift, but to a small tribe like the Metalstone Tribe, which had barely a thousand people, truly valuable treasures ht cause a disaster instead!

Within the Metalstone Tribe
“Young , then offered him some fruit and some delicacies “Mowu and I have been in this tribe for a ot in touch with our Ji clan”
“Right” Ning nodded
While adventuring, every month he had to reach out to and contact the scattered troops of the Ji clan of the Western Prefecture ere stationed in various places throughout the area
“There is a letter from the West Prefecture City” Autumn Leaf withdrew a scroll from her sleeves
Ning accepted it He rolled the yellow parchment open, and as he did, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile This was a letter his mother had personally written to him! The letter didn’t contain too much; itjust experienced a life-and-death battle, the nagging of his ’s heart with a sense of warmth
“Enough, Autuh it’s beensaid
“I’m not tired” Autumn Leaf hurriedly said
“Go” Ning ordered
Autu back to her own rooet some rest
———————–
Time moved on Every ten days or so, he wouldre his sword techniques In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed
Ning was currently seated on the eaves of his house, holding a bah West Prefecture City is large, it isn’t as comfortable as these small tribes”
Resting at sundown, heading out at sunrise
The Metalstone Tribe showed great solidarity Everyone helped each other, and they all treated each other like brothers
“Quick, quick, quick”
“Everyone, go back”
“Quick, bundle everything up”
Suddenly, the formerly peaceful tribe instantly beca, as drinking wine leisurely on the top of his building, to grow confused He irabbed one of the running youths “You”
“Young rabbed hireeted him respectfully
“What’s going on?” Ning asked “Why did the tribe suddenly turn so chaotic? Weren’t you training in spear-fighting just now? Why did you stop?”
“The people of the Black!” The youth hurriedly said “The people of Blackmount Tribe have come to collect furs from us We need to hide some of the finer furs which the tribe has, as otherwise, if the Blackmount Tribe discovers them, they’ll take the et back immediately…”
Ning, understanding, nodded “Go ahead”
Autu as well She spoke out, “The Blacke tribe with tens of thousands of tribesmen Each year, these smaller tribes will have to offer them some tribute”
“Hs to the Ji clan! Only ht to levy taxes If the Black the nearby, smaller tribes to pay the a tax?”
The Ji clan levied and collected taxes frolet tribe within its borders
At the same time, the Ji clan itself was a subject of the Grand Xia Dynasty, and so most of the tax they collected had to be delivered to the Grand Xia Dynasty!
“In principle, yes” Autumn Leaf shook her head “But hoould these smaller tribes dare to refuse? If they were to refuse, the Black the off the captives as slaves”
Ning let out a long sigh
Right
Because there were too e all of the internecine squabbles between the tribes, so they usually left them to their own devices Not just the Ji clan…even the Grand Xia Dynasty, who ruled over an enorovern in a loose fashi+on Wasn’t the Ji clan and the Ironwood clan also in a state of war, viewing each other as deadly eneovern!
“They are co” Autu”
Ning looked over as well He saw that froroup of half-ar around in the area, looking around as if they were in territory which belonged to them The leader of the Metalstone Tribe, Uncle Dala, and the others were all by their sides, obediently following the to disobey them at all
The leader of this Black this little tribe with satisfaction
“Hlanced at the nearby Metalstone tribeshtened, supplicatory looks on their faces, he couldn’t help but feel even hted
Even within the Blackure In a small tribe like this Metalstone Tribe…he could act as he wished! If he was angered, this entire tribe would probably be finished The hundred guards he had brought with him could probably destroy this sort of small tribe all by themselves In this sort of small tribe, he had absolute authority
“Huh?” Braveshell suddenly saw that not too far away, there was a young ether Braveshell’s eyes instantly lit up The guards by his side, looking along with him, couldn’t help but hold their breaths as well
“Beautiful Mes” Braveshell was instantly stunned, and then his heart was instantly overwhelmed with powerful lust and desire He definitely had to seize this beautiful girl and make her his personal maidservant Every day, he would definitely ‘bestow his affections’ on her! Just thinking about it h his entire body
“Hahaha…” Laughing loudly, Braveshell walked directly towards the young irl
Ning frowned slightly as he looked at this tallso and Autu tribesuise the greedy look in his eyes when he was staring at Autumn Leaf “Your fur clothes were cut and stitched so exquisitely Did you make it yourself, miss? Your handiwork is quite fine The fur clothes of the youngster next to you is stitched and cut very nicely as well Is he your little brother?”
