The eight hundred Hu were neither too many nor too few, and all of them were within the range of Ying Ziyi's crossbows.
Fatty Jin saw that he was getting closer and closer to Ying Zige, so he ran up to him.
"Young Master, I didn't fail my mission and have already persuaded those Hu to surrender.”
"Very good. Who is their leader?”Ying Ziyi asked as he rode on Little Horse Mountain.
"It's that one. The one who looks a little stupid and rough. I think his name is Black Bear.”Fatty Jin pointed at the burly man walking in front of the Hu. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear, and his eyes were bright.
"Call him over."
"Yes, sir!" Fatty Jin said a few words to the Hu, and the Hu walked over without any suspicion.
When the black bear was within a few feet of Ying Zige, Ying Zige made a hand gesture and asked the guards on both sides to hold him back with their spears.
The black bear was furious and was about to fly into a rage. They were only concerned about the sharp blade in front of them and the clansmen behind them in their hands. He said a few words to Fatty Jin.
"Young Master, he said that they sincerely surrendered. Why are they still treating him like this?”Fatty Jin translated to Ying Ziyi.
"I know!" Ying Zige said.
"Then why?" Fatty Jin asked.
Pa! Ying Ziyi tossed the small megaphone in his hand to Fatty Jin." I'll say something. Translate it for me. Tell these Hu people that I want to tie them up for safety's sake.”
Fatty Jin hesitated for a moment before shouting through the loudspeaker. The Hu below discussed animatedly, looking at Fatty Jin with unfriendly eyes. A few fierce Hu were about to make a ruckus.
"Your leader is in my hands, and you are also within the range of Great Qin's crossbow. I only want to ensure the safety of the journey. I have no intention of hurting you. However, if you continue to resist, kill without mercy."
Fatty Jin said a few more words to the Hu, and they quickly quieted down. Forty to fifty residents of Five Carriages City carried large bundles of hemp rope and walked into the Hu.
The binding process took about an hour and a half before it was finally completed.
Seeing that Shun Lin had completed all of this, Ying Zige finally let out a sigh of relief because the sky was almost bright.
By the time the morning light shone down, Ying Ziyi's personal guards had finished counting the Hu's cattle, sheep, and other belongings, and had also seized Fatty Jin's goods.
Fur, spices, walnuts, and some vegetable seeds were all high-quality goods. As long as he entered the Qin territory, he could naturally sell it for a good price. Of course, the most valuable were the eight fine horses. One of them was a Ferghana horse from the Dayuan Kingdom, which was hard to come by.
Fatty Jin carefully followed Ying Ziyi's personal guards who were checking the goods. He did it personally, afraid that he would miss out on any of his goods. When the personal guards gathered Fatty's goods on the ground, Fatty was counting the losses this time and calculating how much to give to the young master who had contributed greatly. Finally, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth. He planned to give Ying Ziyi's Ferghana Horse and four Wusun Horses. If he sold the rest of the goods, he could still make a fortune this time.
Fatty Jin walked over to the listless Ying Zige and said with a fawning face,"Young Master, the brothers have worked hard this time. Let them come and rest!”
Fatty Jin had spent all his energy on his goods just now and hadn't noticed anything wrong.
Ying Ziyi spread his hands." They're all here!”
"What?! It's all here!" Fatty Jin looked at the group of only 200 people around him and said incoherently,"Then last night…Last night…"
"You're pointing at those scarecrows!" Ying Zige pointed at a man who was about to throw away the scarecrow and said loudly,"What are you doing, you prodigal! They should be recycled and not wasted. These were all fuel for the winter.”
Puff! Fatty Jin sat down on his butt. When he came to his senses, his body was instantly covered in sweat. Fatty Jin hadn't felt such fear even in the Hu tent.
Fatty Jin raised his head again and looked at Ying Ziyi." With your status, why are you taking such a risk?”
Ying Ziyi sat on his pony and lowered his head to look at Fatty Jin. Then, he said something that Fatty Jin would never forget.
"None of your business!"
Fatty Jin had never heard of such a willful answer. At this moment, the Hu also realized that something was wrong. However, their hands were tied, and there were more than a hundred Qin soldiers with weapons around them, glaring at them.
Ying Ziyi rode past the Hu, and they all shouted.
"What did they say?" Ying Zige asked Fatty Jin.
"They... They said,"Fatty Jin hesitated and did not dare to say it."
"Speak! I'm fine." Ying Ziyi said. In any case, this group of Hu couldn't say anything good, but he might as well listen.
"They say that you are treacherous and treacherous.”
"Tell them! Truth was only within the range of the ballista.”Ying Ziyi said with a smile.
When Ying Ziyi and his people returned to Five Carriage City, they were escorting captives and goods. The residents of the city seemed to be very happy.
"Young Master, how should we deal with these Hu?”The tents, ironware, and other supplies of the Hu were sent to the warehouse. The weapons were returned to the arsenal, the cattle and sheep were sent to the newly built livestock pens, and the wealth was sent to Ying Ziyi's small treasury. Li Ergou asked Ying Ziyi.
"Men and women are separated, and the old and weak are provided for. The specifics! Let the Hu women take care of the newly captured cattle and sheep. Don't let them all be raised to death by those uncouth men. As for the men, they would be dragged out for training.”Ying Zige ordered.
"How?" Li Ergou asked.
"Do frog jumps around the city wall. Three days later, bring their leader and a few other leaders back to me.”
After giving his instructions, Ying Ziyi pulled Fatty Jin aside and began to ask about the human relations and customs of the various countries in the Western Region. They chatted for three days.
Three days later, Li Ergou brought the Hu leader and a few other leaders to Ying Ziyi's newly built main building. They no longer had their initial spirit, and their faces were haggard. When they saw Ying Ziyi, they started to curse.
In these three days, these Hu did not have to worry about food and drink, but they did not do any proper work every day. Under the surveillance of the Qin soldiers, they jumped around the city walls like frogs, tormenting them.
In the middle of the hall was a large bed that Ying Ziyi had specially made. It could be used to sit or lie down, and it was covered with a layer of brocade. The two layers of flannel were soft and comfortable.
Right now, Ying Ziyi was lying on his bed, looking at the Hu who wanted to eat him.
"Shall I make a bet with you?" Ying Zige said to the Hu, and Fatty Jin acted as their translator.
"What bet?" Their leader, Black Bear, said.
"I will fight with you people once. If you win, I will let you all go and return your belongings. If I win, all of you will listen to my orders from now on and will not disobey.”
"Young Master, this…!" Fatty Jin sounded worried.
"It's fine. Tell them."
After hearing Fatty Jin's words, the Hu looked at each other and quickly came to a consensus. Their leader, Black Bear, began to babble to Ying Zi.
"They said that if Young Master won, they and everyone in their tribe would be your cattle and sheep in the future.”
"Very good, untie them."
The personal guard untied the ropes around the Hu. Black Bear stood up, stretched his muscles, and said to Ying Zige,""Where shall we compete?"
"Right here!" After Fatty Jin finished translating, he even wanted to stop Ying Ziyi. Wasn't this a little too rash?
Black Bear couldn't wait any longer. He clenched his fists and looked at the weak Ying Zige with contempt. In a while, he would teach this kid who had made him suffer a good lesson.
The black bear was born with brute force. Usually, a punch from it could even smash a hole in a tree.
However, when he got close to Ying Zige, he threw a punch, but it didn't budge. It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him, and no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't move it.
The few leaders behind Black Bear also realized that something was wrong. The smiles on their faces earlier were all replaced by a serious expression that they had never seen before. They all went forward to help, but just like the black bear, they were unable to break the barrier between them and Ying Zige.
Bang! Ying Zige's body burst forth with true energy, and the black bear and a few of their leaders were knocked back a few steps.
"Phew, that was close. I almost couldn't hold on.”Ying Zige sighed. He had already finished cultivating Myriad Rivers Autumn Water, but he couldn't use it now. Fortunately, he had asked Ge Nia for some basic martial arts of the Ghost Valley Sect, and after practicing all of them, he had a thick body of internal energy.
Fatty Jin was shocked by the scene in front of him. The first to react was Black Bear. He was injured, so he forced himself to sit up and said to Ying Zige,"I, Black Bear, will keep my promise. From now on, we are Young Master's cattle and sheep.”
After the Hu retreated, Fatty Jin's expression changed, as if he was struggling with his thoughts. In the end, he stood up, and as if he had made up his mind, he kneeled down before Ying Ziyi." Young Master, you are both talented and resourceful. I admire you. I have no other strengths, but I am good at business. Now I am willing to offer all my property and be your vanguard.”
Fatty Jin could tell that Ying Ziyi was very interested in the Western Regions. Moreover, he had been dragging Fatty Jin around for many days without letting him go. Then, it was obvious what his purpose was. Fatty Jin was someone who did not want to be left out. Now that he had the backing of the Great Qin's 14th Young Master, he was naturally happy.
Ying Zige helped Fatty Jin up." I do want to take you under my wing. I'm going to set up a Chamber of Commerce with you as the head shopkeeper, specializing in trade with the Western Regions.”
"Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, Linglong Chamber of Commerce."
