Chapter 242 His thoughts
Are you still saying things out of anger?
Or is she unwilling to admit that he helped her out of a difficult situation? Is she afraid that she might misjudge his feelings?
Yao Niang sighed inwardly.
Why should he be so cautious? She would never betray him.
"The lady asked me to come back and serve the master first, as outsiders do not know the master's preferences."
Ying Hua's expression softened slightly.
"You don't need to be served here, get out."
"The master is drunk..."
"go out."
"Yes, my lord."
Knowing that he was considerate of her, and that he didn't want her to get tired because of her forehead injury, she agreed.
Once she was outside, she called the bear clan over.
"What did you just say? That beast didn't go berserk?"
Several burly bear-like men nodded hurriedly.
"Not only did it not go berserk, but the beast was also very docile. It was probably still a cub and had no ferocity at all."
"What a waste!"
Yao Niang's face was gloomy.
Such a great opportunity.
And that's how we lost.
"Lady Yaoji, what should we do?"
How to do?
She also wanted to know what to do.
The Bear Clan is the strongest, and is one of the top clans in Yao Ji's territory.
This species was given to the snow weasel clan.
Do they deserve it?
Yao Niang took a deep breath.
"The contract says that the six clans should pay tribute, but Lady Yaoji's territory has more than six clans. Aren't those slaves sent as tribute this time people from my Dijiang clan?"
Upon hearing this, the bear clan hesitated.
“Those slaves are nothing but lowly foreigners, they don’t even deserve to be offered sacrifices. If the master finds out…”
"You mean to say that the adults are eagerly offering tribute to foreign tribes?"
Yao Niang sneered:
"If this contract gets out, it will be a disgrace to the Dijiang clan. The lord had no choice but to come and make amends. Since there is a contract and no agreement on which race it must belong to, what does it matter if it is a first-order slave race?"
"This……"
The bears looked at each other, none of them daring to respond.
They instinctively felt that the master seemed to value this concubine more than just a little.
That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully.
Yao Niang didn't want to say more.
After everyone left, the bear clan members sighed in despair.
"You know, this whole thing is a mess." It's so upsetting.
"Boss, if you ask me, Lady Yao is right."
"Yes, the contract only mentions that six clans will make offerings, but it doesn't specify which six clans."
"Yes, yes."
What is the status of the Xiong clan in Yuanzhou?
Once you go out, no one will dare to disrespect you.
Wherever he goes, people fawn over him.
After all, they worship Emperor Jiang.
Even those clans had to give them face when they met.
If it is to worship the snow weasel clan.
Wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
They'll never be able to hold their heads up again!
Moreover, they are used to being domineering and arrogant. If they were to submit to the Snow Weasel Clan as their master, the clans they have offended would not let them off the hook.
The burly man with a mouthful of yellow teeth gritted his teeth.
"Go, summon your slaves."
"Yes, boss."
……
The next morning, Yao Niang arrived with her entourage.
She stepped into the main courtyard, where Mu Yunyun was teasing the young leopard, using meat to coax it.
The little guy rolled over, raised his little paws high, and whimpered sweetly.
Qi Zhuan hid behind Qi Si, too proud to step forward; his butt still hurt.
Yesterday, when he returned to the courtyard, the more he cried, the harder his father beat him. He was so afraid of being beaten that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"My lady, I have brought the person."
Yao Niang spoke up.
Mu Yunyun looked up and saw her come in, followed by six males.
"This is?"
Yao Niang said, "My lord asked me to arrange the contract. The messenger has already brought it. This is the signed contract. I hope you will take a look, my lady."
"Well, I have a heart."
Mu Yunyun took it. She had no intention of looking through it carefully, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the rabbits.
The first-tier rabbit race is comparable in strength to their snow weasel race.
She thought she had misread it, so she took the contract and carefully opened it.
I should have just looked away; once I did, I was so angry I laughed.
Not only are there rabbits, but also foxes, rats, and even a small clam spirit clan that has landed on the North Sea.
"What, now the rabbit clan is qualified to pay tribute to our clan?"
The woman remained calm and composed.
"Naturally, the rabbit clan also paid tribute on time in order to seek protection."
Is that tribute?
That's roughly the same idea.
What is meant by offering?
Only powerful races can offer sacrifices.
The rabbit tribe is at most a protection fee.
Moreover, the protection fee paid by the Rabbit Clan never even reached the Emperor Jiang Clan; it was swallowed up halfway there.
"That's really strange. How much can the rabbit clan offer? I've seen the list of offerings, and there's nothing that the rabbit clan would offer."
"My lady, you may not know this, but my master feels deeply indebted to you, so he has made many additions. Besides, we are only acting in accordance with the contract, so please don't make things difficult for us."
Mu Yunyun sneered: "So this is what you call acting in accordance with the contract. I said I wanted the six clans to pay tribute, but you're trying to fool me with these lowly clans."
Yao Niang felt contempt in her heart, and her tone was anything but polite.
"I advise you to be content, Your Highness. This arrangement is also Lady Yaoji's idea. We are just following orders. If you don't believe me, Your Highness can go back and ask her."
"Good, good, good."
Mu Yunyun said "good" three times in a row.
Trying to exploit loopholes, huh?
She looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
"In that case, I'll accept the contract. You can go back now."
Yao Niang chuckled and curtsied.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Xie." You're quite sensible.
Wait for someone to leave.
Qi Yue returned from outside. He had just finished taking stock of the offerings and was only now coming back. He noticed that she didn't look too well.
"What's wrong?" He looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
Are these slaves of the Dijiang clan?
Did I upset her?
Mu Yunyun handed him the contract.
"look."
Qi Yue took it and understood it at a glance.
"It's ridiculous."
The mighty Dijiang clan is doing such disgraceful things.
"What did the chieftain say?" he asked.
“He disdains such tricks. He is in a dilemma to take the lead in this matter. He can use the offerings for now, and the offerings sent in a year later will not be less than these.”
"I don't care about that."
There have been quite a few offerings.
It can be said that it was a very large sum of money.
These are all the dignity she gives to the cub; from now on, no one will look down on him in the slightest.
"I know you don't care about this, but you're worried about the cub feeling wronged."
Mu Yunyun took his hand.
"Don't worry, once I get back to Yuanzhou, I'll earn lots of Dongzhuhai coins, and this offering will definitely be presentable."
The cubs are still here; look at them.
Qi Yue wanted to pull her hand away.
She held him even tighter.
……
The bear clan never expected that this would actually come to pass!
"Lady Yaoji handled this matter so well! I never expected this, I never expected this at all!"
His tone was flattering, and his expression was smug. If it weren't for the presence of the little female, he would have burst out laughing.
Yao Niang was not surprised at all.
"However, she wouldn't dare to cause trouble with just the Snow Weasel clan. I just told the lord about this, only saying that the princess is considerate of the lord and has decided to give something in return. Don't let it slip."
Yinghua did ask about this.
She pushed all the blame onto the female.
She said that she had repeatedly refused, and she had no choice but to agree.
They never mentioned the intricacies involved.
The bear clan immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, we understand. If there is anything Lady Yao Ji needs in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
