Chapter 394 Wild Wolf Tribe
Crazy Wolf slowly leaned towards Duan Tianyang, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Master Duan, tell me the truth. Recently, my Wild Wolf Tribe unexpectedly received a huge sum of money from the Kingdom of Jin, a full 500,000 taels of silver. The meaning behind it is intriguing."
When Duan Tianyang heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his brows. Why did the Kingdom of Jin throw such a huge amount of wealth to the Wild Wolf Tribe for no reason?
He asked in confusion: "What does the Jin Kingdom have to say about this?"
Crazy Wolf came closer, his voice almost a whisper: "The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin said frankly that if my tribe can cut off the retreat of the Hongxing Army, there will be double the silver as a reward in the future, and another 500,000 taels."
Duan Tianyang couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, his heart was in turmoil.
Crazy Wolf's eyes were complicated, and he continued, "I guess this is not a treatment unique to my Wild Wolf Tribe. I'm afraid that all the tribes in the Western Regions have already received the 'generous gift' from the Kingdom of Jin. The magnitude of the gift from the Kingdom of Jin is enough to shake people's hearts. If the Hongxing Army is unstoppable, the tribes may still keep their troops in place; but if the war is not going well, it is hard to say. Of course, given our friendship, the Wild Wolf Tribe will definitely stand firm, but I can't predict the movements of other tribes."
Duan Tianyang's eyes turned slightly, and he thought about a lot in his mind, and asked: "When did this happen?"
Mad Wolf replied, “But only five or six days ago.”
He paused, his eyes deep, "The Jin Kingdom is so generous, this is unusual. It seems that it is confident of defeating the Hongxing Army and is sure that all the tribes in the Western Regions will eventually stand on its side. Therefore, it dares to be so bold and spend money lavishly."
There was a hint of worry in Kuanglang's tone: "Master Duan, we have a deep friendship. I have to remind you that this trip into the Jin Kingdom is extremely dangerous. You must think twice before proceeding. Perhaps, it is best to stay at the border of Xifan and wait and see what happens."
Seeing a bitter smile on Duan Tianyang's lips, Kuanglang continued: "Master Duan, I know that you are entrusted with a great responsibility by the court. You don't want to stay in Xifan, and you may anger the Lord of the Divine Realm. But there is still a glimmer of hope..."
Duan Tianyang frowned slightly and asked, "Oh? I'd like to hear more details."
A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the mad wolf, and he smiled and said, "Master Duan's heroic feat in the Panda tribe in the past burned down a large area of forest in the Panda territory. This time, the Hongxing Army will go to the Kingdom of Jin and must pass through the Panda territory. The tribesmen are money-oriented and will definitely set up checkpoints to intercept them and demand compensation. Why don't you take this opportunity to fight them, and then pretend to be defeated, and then station troops outside their territory. This will not only meet the expectations of the court, but also cleverly avoid direct conflict."
Duan Tianyang nodded as he listened: "Chief's plan is indeed unique."
Mad Wolf smiled even more, patted Duan Tianyang on the back, and said in a deep tone: "I regard Lord Duan as a close friend, so I naturally don't want to see you in danger. The Jin people are cunning and changeable, and they are full of tricks. I suggest you avoid this battle if you can."
Duan Tianyang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If I choose to retreat now, what will happen to the 100,000 imperial soldiers who have penetrated deep into the heart of the Jin Kingdom?"
"This……"
His words revealed endless worries: "If the Hongxing Army does not go to the Jin Kingdom for support, the 100,000 imperial army soldiers will probably die in a foreign land! Therefore, regardless of whether the Jin Kingdom is plotting or not, it is imperative for our army to enter the Jin Kingdom."
After that, he patted Kuanglang's shoulder with a firm look in his eyes: "I will always remember the chief's care, but now the arrow is on the string and must be fired. I cannot let the blood of those 100,000 soldiers flow in vain, and I cannot let them be isolated and helpless in a foreign country."
Mad Wolf stared at Duan Tianyang, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally responded with a wry smile: "Master Duan, please don't misunderstand me. Although I accepted the silver from the Jin people, I never agreed to use it for them. My heart has never changed."
"The chief has always valued integrity, and I naturally have full trust in the Wild Wolf Tribe." Duan Tianyang said firmly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination, "However, I must fight this battle with the Jin Kingdom, and I hope the chief will not dissuade me anymore."
Kuang Lang nodded slightly and said no more. Then he changed the subject and said with a hearty laugh, "It is such an honor to have you, Lord Duan, in person! Today, I must drink good wine with you and not leave until I am drunk!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Tianyang curled up his lips into a smile, and walked side by side with Mad Wolf into the heart of the Wild Wolf Tribe.
This place is huge, with wooden houses scattered all over the mountains, and it is bustling with people coming and going.
If it were surrounded by city walls, this place would look like a prosperous town.
For Duan Tianyang, who was visiting this place for the first time, the unique wooden buildings around him and the foreign people wearing various animal skins and unique costumes all seemed novel to him.
The two walked to the center of the tribe, where they saw a majestic mansion, which was heavily guarded.
When they reached the gate, the guard stepped forward quickly and expertly grasped the horse's reins.
At the same time, a young man dressed as a servant knelt devoutly beside the horse, allowing the mad wolf to trample on his back and dismount steadily.
Duan Tianyang caught a glimpse of another group of people kneeling beside his horse. He frowned slightly, put his hands on the horse's back, and flew into the air and landed lightly.
As soon as the two men dismounted, an urgent call came from the courtyard: "Father! Duan Tianyang!"
Before he finished his words, a beautiful figure rushed out from the door. Before Duan Tianyang could react, the beautiful figure threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, full of joy and attachment.
He looked carefully and saw that the person who emerged from the depths of the mansion was none other than the Mad Wolf's daughter - Meiru.
Time flies. It has been more than a year since I last saw her. She seems to have been reborn. She has become more graceful, with a slim figure and exquisite curves, showing her girlish charm.
Seeing Mei Ru hugging Duan Tianyang tightly and jumping for joy, Kuang Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself: "The Han people have a saying that women should not be kept when they grow up. This is true!"
Duan Tianyang showed a subtle embarrassment. He gently stroked Meiru's shoulders and gently pulled her away. His eyes wandered over her and he said with a smile, "Meiru, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown up a lot..."
Especially the pair of breasts...
Mei Ru was immersed in joy and was completely unaware of the hidden meaning behind Duan Tianyang's words. She held Duan Tianyang's arm tightly, led him into the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Duan Tianyang, I knew you were coming, so I specially prepared a roasted whole lamb."
Duan Tianyang glanced at the Mad Wolf and saw that he was smiling and showed no displeasure, so he let Mei Ru lead him into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, long carpets were spread out in a staggered manner, on which were displayed a wide variety of rare fruits and fine wines.
On the central wooden rack, under the illumination of the blazing firewood, a fat roasted whole lamb is golden and shiny, exuding an aroma that is mouth-watering.
"Duan Tianyang, please sit down!" Meiru enthusiastically led Duan Tianyang into the yard and guided him to sit down on the soft blanket.
She was filled with joy, and as if offering treasures, she held the fruits and fine wine in her hands and gently handed them to Duan Tianyang's lips.
This excessive enthusiasm made Duan Tianyang feel a little uneasy. His smile was mixed with a bit of embarrassment, and he was in a dilemma.
Just then, Crazy Wolf walked in and said with a smile, "Well, my dear daughter, I'm afraid that Lord Duan will suffer from indigestion if you are so enthusiastic."
Mei Ru pouted playfully when she heard that, and finally sat back down as she was told.
Mad Wolf turned around, waved to Guan Hu and the others, and said with a smile: "You are all Lord Duan's confidants, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat and enjoy the food."
With Duan Tianyang's fluent translation, everyone suddenly understood, bowed to express their gratitude, and took their seats.
