The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is cold... Looking up, the whole sky is like a turbid jade piece with silk threads of clouds and cotton. It is gray and not very beautiful, but it is undoubtedly much better than the raging climate of the storm and snowstorm a few days ago.

The sight is moved down, and the sight is full of plains and hills, and the mountains are continuous. It looks magnificent, but it is also really desolate and monotonous.

Strictly speaking, there is no real road in the Northern Wilderness. Of course, it can also be said that there are roads everywhere. There is nothing else. If there are more people walking, you can naturally step out of the smooth road.

Now between the low and rolling mounds, a convoy is following the road that predecessors have stepped out. Because it has just snowed, the road is a bit muddy and potholes, and the convoy is moving a little slow.

The carriages are all flat styles, not for people to rest, but piled up with goods wrapped in tart cloth. The dozen or so barbarians around them are walking, and the animal skin clothes on them are neither luxurious nor dilapidated, nor broken and simple, ordinary and ordinary. From the outside, this should undoubtedly be a small caravan.

Yes, just like Bran, there are caravans in the Northern Wilderness Tribe. However, compared with the Bran caravan, which has fixed destinations, routes, etc., the Beihuang caravan seems much higher. Of course, this is also because the gathering places of various tribes migrate all year round, so the Beihuang caravan basically goes out for a walk and only turns around after selling the goods.

There were three people walking in front of the convoy, two women and one man, both of whom looked very young. At this time, the burly and standard barbarian young man looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Captain, go further forward and you will reach the Hufu tribe. Well, this tribe has a good gathering place and should not move away."

The leader of the caravan is the woman in gray fox fur walking in the middle, with half of her face blocked by a fur collar. The people in the Northern Wilderness are generally tall, and women are no exception. This young woman is very tall, and her two ***s are even **s, she is taller than Xia Wei'an, but she is still much shorter than other men and women in the caravan.

The woman did not respond to the young man's words. She was putting a green leaf plant with red berries in front of her. She looked very devoted but didn't eat it, and she looked a little unemployed. However, another young woman in red clothes next to her turned around and smiled when she heard this, "Brother Andre, have you been to this tribe?"

The young man called Andre was not surprised by the attitude of the regiment commander, and seemed to be used to it, and smiled and said, "Yes, Sinie. But that was three years ago, and I was still in the army at that time, and I stayed here for a few days."

"Oh... It turns out that Brother Andre has been in the army. Has he been to Bran? How is it like there? I heard that Bran is very short, but he has many beautiful clothes..."

"Bran...hehe, that's almost that..."

...

While talking and laughing, the woman named Sinni seemed very interested in Bran's topic and kept asking questions. Of course, if you look at the eyes that you occasionally glance at, you can know that she is more interested in the strong Andre.

What is certain is that these two people are from the Northern Wilderness, but they used extremely standard Bran's words when they talked. Perhaps from this point, we can see that this caravan is not that simple... Well, if we look at the commander, the caravan is a little abnormal. The destination is imminent, and she is still observing the berries plants at this time, with her eyes narrowed, as if she is doing some research.

The convoy walked for more than ten minutes again, crossed the undulating mountain range in front of him, and a man-made stone wall that stretched for several miles appeared on the left side of the front, and a high wooden tower of observation, with a faint figure walking around. Needless to say, this should be the Hu Fu tribe that Andrei mentioned.

At this time, the woman called the leader finally finished her research. She sighed and reached out to pick off the red berries from the green leaf plant, threw one into her mouth, and the others were distributed to Andre and Sinie beside her.

"Hey, it's sour and sweet, it tastes good." After a few sips, Cinni raised her slender eyebrows and looked a little happy. Andre, who was beside her, seemed much calmer, smacked her lips and smiled without saying a word. In his opinion, this thing naturally did not come easily without large pieces of meat.

"Haha, let me give it to you all." He chuckled, his voice a little hoarse. The leader Suo stuffed several berries in his hand into Xini's hand and threw away the green leaf plant that he had paid great attention to before.

He took the cheers, "Hehe, thank you Palace... Well, Lord Commander." As if he had said something wrong, Xini quickly changed her words and stuck out her tongue and said with a favor, "Genius Commander, have you found a result?"

He shook his head, "It's not that easy." After pondering for a moment, the leader looked a little regretful. "Although I haven't seen it before, it should be just ordinary berries. At most, it can only be used as a plate of snacks and cannot replace food." After a meal, he shrugged and said cheerfully, "But the decision this time was right. The Northern Wilderness is so big, and there are thousands of plants we don't know. You can always find a food suitable for the soil here and sow on a large scale."

This statement is nothing special. At first glance, it is nothing more than this kind of berries that are not suitable for large-scale planting. But if combined with the actual situation of the Northern Wilderness Tribe, it will be a bit shameless.

Everyone knows that the soil in the Northern Wilderness is not suitable for growing crops, and the food crisis has plagued all tribe barbarians all year round. It is precisely because of this that the Northern Wilderness tribe raids the Bran border line crazily during the autumn harvest season every year. But the leader of the small merchant group in front of him, and the obviously young woman, actually said that she wanted to find suitable crops on this frozen soil, and her tone was indeed not ordinary.

However, Nasini and Andre around him did look solemn when they heard this, and both nodded firmly, obviously with strong confidence in the young leader.

"Well, where is this?" Because of previous focused research, the leader squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, especially the stone wall on the left in front, and asked in confusion.

Andre said again: "Captain, this is Hu Fu tribe."

"Oh..." As if I had heard this place name, the commander showed a sudden expression and then looked around the tribe. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the terrain was smooth. There was no need to worry about the arrival of hurricanes and other natural disasters, and the transportation was also convenient. He nodded, "The terrain here is really good, no wonder the Hu Fu tribe does not move for many years... Well, it is suitable for building a city. Xini, please note it here."

"Okay." Xini simply nodded when she heard this, took out a thick booklet from her bag. When she looked through it, she could see that there were all kinds of mixed things, including mountains, water flowing terrain, and vivid animals and plants... like a Northern Wilderness Encyclopedia.

After Xini added another stroke, the commander nodded, first instructed the people behind to lift the tart cloth from the carriage, and then walked towards the stone wall: "Let's go in and take a look."

"Uh..." Seeing this, Sinni and Andre looked at each other, both staying in place without moving. Then Sinni helped her forehead with a look of "It's true that's how it is" and called out, "Captain..."

Looking back, "Yeah?"

Sinni's finger leftward direction, there was a clear entrance and exit there: "That, the entrance is there!"

“…”

...

Something happened, but there was no big problem. There were barbarian guards at the entrances and exits of Hufu tribe, but it was basically just a look, mainly targeting other tribes that might have attacked. Naturally, there were dozens of people in this small caravan.

After entering the tribe, this small caravan is still very popular. This is also a normal situation. After all, although there are caravans in the Northern Wilderness, because there are few houses, the number will definitely not be too many. This is the reason why things are rare and expensive.

After finding an empty place, the small caravan was also very engaged in the work of putting the goods on. Then most of the people who surrounded him shook their heads and sighed, but the children's screams and cheers came one after another, and some were even noisy to sell.

The reason for this situation is very simple. The degree of the Beihuang caravan is too high, so high that if a barbarian wants to buy something, he can only wait for the wandering caravan to pass by, and the goods sold by the caravan are exactly what they need, so that the transaction can be successful. Now, the small caravan is full of toys, all kinds of children's toys...

It cannot be said that this kind of introverted business idea is not feasible. Barbarians and children are also children. If conditions permit, they will naturally buy these toys. But it is obvious that these things are definitely not as easy to sell as usual items.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and some adult barbarians who accidentally brought their children to come, scratched their heads and smiled bitterly in the noise of their children... The young leader was personally guarding the back of the stall with Xini, smiling, but he was easy to talk to. As long as it was not too bargaining, he would basically agree after touching the child's head.

After a while, more than a dozen transactions were settled. At this time, the surrounding groups were basically all scattered, and the next thing was to wait at the stall. A very simple truth is that those children who ran away with toys would definitely show off with their companions, and then there would naturally be adults who were entangled so unbearable that they would come with their children.

Shaking his head, Xini's mouth slightly sagged: "Captain, if we sell some clay pots of grain, we will definitely sell it very well."

"Yeah." He answered casually, and the leader was looking at the child wandering not far from the right side of the stall, obviously absent-minded.

Seeing this, Xini shouted dissatisfied and said, "Captain..." The relationship between the two was a bit subtle. Judging from some inadvertent expressions and actions, the status of the group leader is obviously much higher than that of Xini and the caravans. However, the young female leader has a very kind attitude and is easy to talk to. There is no awe or estrangement between the usual words of acquaintances such as Xini.

After waved, the leader did not answer Xini's question first, but instead took a few steps forward to call the child closer, and said hoarsely: "Do you want to buy a toy?"

He nodded and shook his head quickly. The child in a simple dress glanced at various toys with burning eyes, and then shook his head again.

"Haha..." He chuckled a few times, reached out to brush off the broken pieces of soil on the child's hair. The leader blinked mysteriously and smiled, "If you can pick the most beautiful flowers for your sister within an hour, I'll give you a surprise. OK?"

The child looked up at the young sister in confusion when he heard this, thought about it, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

"Well, then we have made an agreement, remember to keep it confidential!" He patted the child's shoulder, and the leader walked back into the stall with a smile. The child ran to the north without looking back.

As if he was reminded of the previous question, the group leader Xiang Xini had no choice but to spread his hands: "You have asked this question several times... Well, only by selling these toys can we go further in the form of a caravan. And don't you think it's so satisfying to bring joy to your children?"

"I just want to talk... And if I continue to send it like this, I don't think I can go far." Xini, who was explained again, hugged the captain's right arm coquettishly, then watched the child disappear in the distant corner, and asked in confusion, "Captain, since they are all going to send it, why not give it to him directly? You don't like flowers."

"Because we are businessmen." The scene was obviously a bit disharmonious when being hugged by a woman over ten centimeters tall, but the leader did not break free and said calmly, "Since we are businessmen, we naturally have to exchange them equally. Those with money can buy goods directly, and those without money must make some contributions to get goods."

After a brief pause, he continued, "Fairness, this is the most important thing in commercial circulation. The northern desert is because of the lack of this thing, so business has never been able to develop. Over the years, we have become accustomed to snatching, and if we can't get things, we will kill those who get things. Now we can snatch Bran's, can we still snatch our own people's in the future?"

"Oh..." Xini nodded and responded with a silly understanding. Although she was a little confused, she had almost blind confidence in the person around her, so she no longer had to worry about thinking deeper.

...

Not long ago, Andre, who had disappeared while setting up a stall in the business group, suddenly appeared, observed around him, and came over: "Hehe, leader, how is the business?"

"not bad."

"Hey, Brother Andre, don't keep it a secret. Tell me what you've found out now."

Nodded, Andrei glanced at the calm leader and said, "The Hufu tribe is basically the same as the ordinary tribe, relying on hunting to make a living. But there is an iron mine to the east of the tribe, but they don't know how to mine, and the benefits they can get are very small, and even people die. Over time, they are almost abandoned now."

"Is there an iron ore?" The commander raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. Before Xini, who was beside him, opened the book, he said directly, "The Masa tribe a hundred miles away knows how to mine. Well, the Tiger tribe in the east has simple blacksmith skills..."

But in an instant, I accurately told all the relevant situations, and then connected them one by one to form a complete self-sufficiency chain. Finally, I turned my head and said, "Sini, have you remembered it? Remember to remind me after I go back."

"Don't worry, leader." The quill wrote down these words and made a gesture of getting the job done.

He nodded, and then the leader was used to falling into deep thoughts again. He asked questions from time to time such as "How is the relationship between these tribes?" and "Is the road going smoothly..." before Andre and others answered, he gave the answer again.

It is like a precision computing computer. As long as the information is sufficient, it can quickly deal with all aspects of problems. After more than ten minutes, I rubbed my eyebrows, relaxed my breath and looked relaxed.

At this time, the child had come over with a large handful of colorful wild flowers. The young leader came forward with joy and took the flowers, asking the child to choose one of the many toys and leave happily.

Although he didn't say that, Andre and Sinie, who knew the captain's ability, looked at each other and nodded, knowing that this plan was done.

After waiting for about half an hour again, several transactions were made. The merchant team members used up their lunch and set off again from the north gate of the tribe.

Behind the tribe, Andre slapped his head, as if he had remembered something, and said again: "By the way, do you still remember the tribe we met yesterday? It was said that the woman from the Temple of Light snatched their food."

"Well, remember." Xini nodded immediately after hearing this, "We are still saying it as a joke. How could people from the Temple of Light come here? Besides, grab food? Haha, those people who claim to be holy and are actually extremely hypocritical will not do such a tasteless thing."

Shaking his head, Andrey looked solemn: "No, it seems to be true. When I was inquiring about the news about Hu Fu tribe before, I heard that I was still robbing food, but this time the other party was very fast, and I could only see that it was a woman, um, Bran woman."

"Well……"

Frowning, the young leader asked, "When?"

“Just this morning.”

He nodded thoughtfully and looked at the distant mountains and decisively ordered: "Stop moving forward! Andre, send a few people to explore forward."

"Yes!" Andrey did not hesitate at all when he heard this, his power suddenly faded and he turned around to convey the order.

As if he had torn apart the disguise, the atmosphere of the business group that had been harmonious before instantly condensed. Several figures quickly left the scope of the business group. After flashing a few times, they quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

There is no doubt that these people are not ordinary business groups at all, but good-looking experts from the Northern Wilderness.

Nasini came to her senses and asked in a blink of an eye: "Captain, do you think that woman is from the Temple of Light? This is really incredible!"

The leader nodded slightly: "Being able to go to and from several tribes without being stopped means that the other party is very strong. If this is our native Northern Wilderness, he only needs to show his identity to get a good hospitality and does not need to rob him. Well, he should be from the Temple of Light."

"It's true?" Xini said, "This woman is so brave? If you dare to come here, aren't you afraid of not being able to go back?"

"Actually..." Andre walked back after giving the order, with a flash of splendor in his eyes and he said firmly, "She can't go back now!"

"Uh, this is..."

The commander did not participate in the conversation between the two, but turned to look at the south with a frown slightly. The people from the Temple of Light appeared here. Could it be that there was a problem with the battle situation ahead...
