"How is Daren? If it still doesn't work, I'll just take this kid away. Back then, I saved a mouthful of food to save this kid's life. I don't believe that this kid really dares to compete with me?!”
Seeing Chen Ping walk out of the military camp, Li San's eyes revealed a ruthless look.
Chen Ping patted Old Li's shoulder and smiled."Let's go!"
After all, this military camp was not their territory. It was very dangerous and they should not stay here for long.
Seeing Chen Ping's appearance, Li San heaved a sigh of relief. He was actually afraid that his self-conceited brother, who insisted on being conferred the title of marquis and general, would anger this village chief!
Now that he saw this, he must be very confident!
Li San then smiled." Since that's the case, hurry up and set up a stall. Go back early so that the sky won't be dark and we won't have to travel at night!"”
Unexpectedly, Chen Ping still shook his head.”
Li San was taken aback. Chen Ping left the camp and walked towards the largest building in the center of Winterfell!
This wasn't anywhere else but the residence of the Winterfell Governor, Liu Yang.
"Who are you?"
Just as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the armored soldiers guarding the door. Li San wanted to go forward and speak, but he was stopped by Chen Ping. He took the first step forward and smiled,
"General, we are the villagers of Peace Village. We were lucky enough to obtain a treasure and specially came to present it to the prefect!”
The soldier was stunned, but he still went in to report!
Obviously, this prefect was still quite strict. He did not expect the little ghost to be difficult to deal with, which made Chen Ping slightly relieved.
After waiting outside for nearly an hour, the soldier finally returned.
"The prefect has just finished dealing with government affairs. He has ten minutes.”
Chen Ping and Li San looked at each other. One in front and one behind the soldier, they bypassed the pavilion and directly walked into the main hall.
Chen Ping looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties sitting at the head of the table. He was chatting and laughing with a scholar who was about the same age as him.
Chen Ping and Li San arrived together and bowed."I am Chen Ping, greetings to Lord Prefect…"
"Forget it! Villagers of Peace Village? What treasure can you offer me?”
Liu Yang said with a smile. Although he was the Governor, he held military power in Winterfell. He was the king of Winterfell!
Coinciding with the current era of great strife and the rise of princes, those who had a little understanding naturally wanted to establish their image of benevolence and righteousness. Now that someone had taken the initiative to present a treasure, he was naturally overjoyed!
Chen Ping and Li San immediately took out the bag behind them. It was a full five meters long, and the clean tiger skin was pulled out.
The moment this thing appeared, not only was Liu Yang stunned, even the soldiers outside were shocked!
What a complete tiger skin. Its fur was neat and incomparably huge. Just by looking at its fur, one could tell how terrifying it was!
Seeing the reaction of Mayor Liu Yang, even though Chen Ping was certain, he was slightly relieved!
"Hiss, such a huge tiger has probably become a spirit, right?”
Chen Ping smiled and took out a dagger. Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers and Liu Yang, he suddenly stabbed at the tiger skin, but it didn't even leave a scratch.
"To be honest, this mountain tiger barged into my Peace Village and almost all the able-bodied men in the village lost their lives. Only then did we capture and kill this evil tiger. Now, we have peeled off this impenetrable tiger skin and specially came to present it to the prefect!”
Li San carefully looked at Chen Ping, but he didn't know what this little village chief wanted to do. This evil tiger was indeed ferocious, but it was clearly killed by the Mandate Guard summoned by the village chief! How could they let all the able-bodied men in the village die?
Mayor Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Sheng, who nodded."Peace Village is close to the Iron Chain Mountain Range. There are indeed countless ferocious beasts in the mountain range!”
Mayor Liu Yang nodded and looked at Chen Ping.
"So this rare treasure is such a precious thing. I don't dare to accept it!”
Chen Ping smiled.
" This item is of no use to my Peace Village. Winter is coming soon, and most of the young men in Peace Village have lost their lives to the tiger's mouth. The wolves in the Tiesuo Mountain Range will come out to prey on a large scale in winter. Without the young men, Peace Village will have no way to survive this year. It will be a dead end either way. I have specially come to offer this item to you, sir. I hope that you can kill Hu Dog and let the tiger's might spread!”
When these words were said, not only was the Governor Liu Yang shocked, even the scholar was shocked!
If Winterfell was ruled by such loyal people, why would they worry about failing?! Why worry that the Hu and Qiang will not be destroyed?
Liu Yang waved his hand,"
" Don't worry. With me in Winterfell, even the Hu Qiang won't dare to invade, let alone the beasts. I will immediately station 500 people in Peace Village to let the old and young of Peace Village survive the winter safely!”
Chen Ping suppressed the joy in his heart. His plan was indeed correct! If he wanted to borrow troops directly, it would definitely attract the suspicion of the prefect. It was much easier to lure him with words.
However, at this moment, Vincent whispered,"
"Milord, every winter, Hu dogs invade our Central Plains to plunder. Just to defend against the wild beasts, five hundred people is a little too much, right?!”
Liu Yang was stunned. He looked at Chen Ping's expectant gaze and coughed awkwardly. Then, he said,
"That's right. The men of the Northern Territory are brave and good at fighting. I think only 200 people are enough to wipe out the wild beasts and protect the peace of the area! However, Little Brother Chen, you don't have to be anxious. I'll send 800 stones of grain together. It's enough for the villagers to survive this long winter!”
Although Chen Ping felt that it was a pity, he had achieved his goal. He quickly took out the tiger whip from the wooden box from his bag and said,
"This tiger whip is useless to us, so we will also present it to the prefect. I hope the prefect will be energetic and guard this area!”
Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, then he revealed a look of joy. He was actually even happier than seeing this rare treasure tiger skin!
