The two siblings ate the entire plate of food clean.

Jiang Tian pushed the mutton rolls in front of them.

"Use chopsticks to hold the mutton roll and dip it in the broth for eight seconds. If you don't know what a second is, then dip it until the mutton turns white."

The two siblings nodded to each other.

It's clear that the two siblings have relaxed quite a bit.

How many people are in your Nalan tribe?

“Our Nalan tribe is scattered in various places, and our tribe alone has 60,000 to 70,000 people.”

"The total number of people in the Nalan tribe is about 500,000."

500,000 people, that's definitely a small tribe.

The Khitans numbered in the millions.

There were also seven or eight million Xianbei people.

The Khitan and Xianbei combined numbered over 10 million.

For them, wiping out the Nalan tribe would be as easy as snapping their fingers.

“Benefactor,” Nalan Yunyue said, her eyes reddening. The little girl stood up and knelt down with a thud. “Please, please save our tribe.”

"This humble woman is willing to serve her benefactor for eternity."

"Stand up and speak."

Nalan Yunyue nodded and stood up.

"What happened?"

Nalan Jingyu: "The grassland has been suffering from drought for a long time. Since the beginning of winter, it has finally snowed, but the snow is getting heavier and heavier."

The elders in our tribe said that there is a high probability of a snow disaster this year.

Many of the Khitans' cattle and sheep died.

These Khitans want to shift all their losses onto us.

They robbed our tribe of cattle, sheep, and horses; they captured our men to serve them and our women to abuse.

It is said that several members of the Nalan tribe have been completely robbed by them.

“Yesterday, our tribe was migrating south in search of a better pasture.” Nalan Jingyu’s eyes reddened as she said this. “But we were attacked by the Khitans.”

"In yesterday's battle, we lost more than 2,000 warriors, and they took more than 500 women."

In addition, they also stole more than 20,000 sheep and 50 cattle.

"They've spread the word that they're going to steal everything from our Nalan tribe."

As Nalan Jingyu finished speaking, her whole body trembled.

It's clear that the brother and sister are very scared.

On the vast grasslands of northern Xinjiang, where the strong prey on the weak, there are 16 grassland countries.

These tribes are not very good at surviving.

It's only a matter of time before they're wiped out.

Each tribe has only tens of thousands of people, and the smaller tribes have only a few thousand.

Even if such a tribe were to mobilize its entire population and take up arms to fight, how many people could there be?

Rather, the Khitans could easily arm an army of two to three hundred thousand people.

Moreover, like the Xiongnu, the Khitans were brave and skilled in warfare.

Their warriors were born to be excellent fighters.

To send the Nalan tribe to fight against the ferocious Khitan or Xianbei warriors would be suicidal.

"Have something to drink." Jiang Tian pushed the opened Coke towards the two siblings.

The two siblings shook their heads again.

"My benefactor, we've eaten so much delicious food from you today, we're already feeling uneasy."

"We can no longer eat or drink your food."

"Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking nonsense." Jiang Tian's voice startled the two siblings.

“Your Nalan tribe is not good at surviving on this grassland where wolves and tigers roam. Even if all of you take up arms to fight against others, you are no match for them.”

"You suffered so many losses yesterday, how many Khitans did you kill?"

When Jiang Tian asked this question, the other party was completely stunned.

After a long silence, Nalan Jingyu finally raised two fingers.

"More than 200 of the enemy were killed?"

Nalan Jingyu shook her head: "Benefactor, we lost so many people to kill just two of them and injure more than a dozen of them."

Even so, these Khitans were enraged and wanted to teach us a lesson.

Jiang Tian sighed deeply upon hearing this.

In this jungle society where the strong prey on the weak.

If you lack ability, you are nothing more than prey to be slaughtered.

No one will protect you forever, and no one will protect your tribe forever.

Jiang Tian was lucky to have encountered these brother and sister; otherwise, the Nalan tribe would very likely have been wiped out.

"I don't see any need for you to graze your livestock on this grassland. After I destroy them, you can go directly to the Great Xia Dynasty, where you might find a place."

“Our benefactor, wherever you go, we will follow you. My brother and I just discussed it outside, and we have already decided that we will follow you forever to repay your life-saving grace to our tribe.”

“No need,” Jiang Tian shook his head. “I only did a small thing, nothing as mysterious as you all say. Go back and live your lives well. I will definitely destroy the Khitan.”

If you cannot survive on this grassland, as I just said, you will all migrate to the Great Xia Dynasty.

"There is an abundance of food there that you will never run out of."

To Jiang Tian's surprise, before he could finish speaking, the brother and sister both started sobbing.

Especially the little girl Nalan Yunyue, her shoulders were shaking from crying.

"What's wrong?"

“My benefactor, my brother and I haven’t done anything to upset you, have we? If you think we eat too much, we’ll never eat again.”

“Our benefactor, we Nalan tribe have an old saying: ‘A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.’ We really have nothing to offer in return for your kindness.”

Jiang Tian waved his hand again, indicating that he didn't need it.

To his surprise, the brother and sister immediately pulled out knives.

“Since our benefactor won’t let us serve you, then we’ll end our own lives and give them to our benefactor.”

There are such absurd things in the world.

"Alright, alright, if you want to stay, then stay." Jiang Tian frowned.

The two siblings were so happy they almost jumped for joy.

...

Two days later.

Go to Beijing.

More than 1,000 fast horses charged directly into the capital city, heading straight for the residence of the Northern Privy Council King.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Yelü Chucai's residence, Xiao Potian collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The crowd rushed forward and helped him up.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Your Majesty, you must do me justice."

The guy staggered into the yard.

Yelü Chucai stepped forward: "Xiao Potian, what kind of behavior is this?"

Upon seeing Yelü Chucai, Xiao Potian knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Our Snow Wolf City has been captured!"

"Slap..." Before Xiao Potian could finish speaking, he received a solid slap across the face.

"Xiao Potian, you bastard, how could Snow Wolf City, guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers, be lost in your hands? What is your crime?"
