After saying that, Ning Ye swaggered out of the tent, while the Grand Preceptor's face was already ashen.
But he could only do as Ning Ye said. Now he had to believe that Ning Ye was a man of his word, otherwise he would be punished when he returned.
Ning Ye emerged unharmed, and the Turks' eyes seemed to spit fire. Unfortunately, given the Grand Preceptor's earlier warning, they naturally dared not make any rash moves. After all, anyone who ruined the Grand Preceptor's important plans would truly suffer a fate worse than death.
Only Muller blocked Ning Ye's way, "I don't know what you talked about with the Grand Preceptor, but I want to ask you about someone who lives in the east of Qingyuan County. Who is he?"
Ning Ye was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this describing him?
I've never seen this person before, so why is he taking a liking to me?
"Of course I know who lives there, but I'm also curious why you're asking about it?"
Muller said directly, "I had a few of my men disappear over there before. I want to ask if anyone has seen them, so I might go and inquire in person. Knowing their names in advance will make it easier to find them."
Ning Ye smiled and said, "Oh, I was just wondering who sent those idiots. So it was you. I'm the one you're looking for. Those fools you sent out are probably all bones by now."
Muller roared, "So it was you, you piece of trash! You've already made your way to death!"
Ning Ye picked at his ear and said arrogantly, "I'm really sorry, but there are just too many people who want to kill me. I'm afraid you're not even in the top ranks. Of course, if you really want to kill me, you're welcome to do so. I hope you can do it."
Muller clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to kill Ning Ye right now, but the fear in his heart still prevented him from making a move.
“Kid, remember this: you are able to leave here today because of the Grand Preceptor. When we meet again, I will tear you to pieces with my own hands to offer as a sacrifice to the warriors of my tribe.”
Ning Ye said nonchalantly, "Oh, really? That's a pity. You can't do anything today."
Ning Ye strode away from the Turkic delegation's camp. As for when these guys would actually deliver the goods, that would depend on just how anxious the Grand Preceptor was.
Ning Ye's recovery was not so simple after this trip. He also spent about two days wandering around the area, mainly to find out what the situation was like outside the pass.
Unfortunately, after seeing everything, he felt that compared to others, the people outside the Great Wall were probably the real refugees.
Ning Ye felt that almost every person he met outside the Great Wall was like a walking corpse, completely unaware of why they were alive or how they were able to survive.
What causes all this is, of course, an insatiable hunger and an endless cycle of plunder.
Unfortunately, Ning Ye didn't have time for sentimentality. He needed to find another way to do business. Since the royal family could do business before, why couldn't he? However, the business he wanted to do would be slightly different.
Important strategic materials would naturally not be sold to this grassland, and these barbarians and Turks are not worthy of it.
However, Ning Ye was very keen to do business with some other insignificant but extremely scarce items on the grasslands. After all, being so close to this place, it would be a real failure to take advantage of the situation if he didn't even do business with these items.
It had only been about a year, and some of Ning Ye's warhorses were already showing signs of problems.
If Ning Ye could use resources to exchange for a batch of high-quality warhorses on the grasslands, it would be of paramount importance, since cavalry would always be the most powerful fighting force.
As Ning Ye walked, he was already approaching the territory of the barbarians. It was only a few dozen miles away before he would truly step into the land ruled by the barbarians. These barbarians were extremely xenophobic, and apart from the merchants they recognized, anyone who dared to trespass would only face death.
There is also a town here that has never been robbed, where people from all over the world can be seen; these people are collectively referred to as refugees.
They were all people who had left their hometowns and no longer considered themselves to belong to their original place. Moreover, the town they built became an important transit point.
Almost all merchants heading deep into the desert would stop here for their final supplies before venturing into the desert itself.
Given the Qin Dynasty's lack of foreign relations, how much resource could be obtained deep in the desert?
Therefore, this town is extremely important. No fool would dare to attack it; if they did, they would probably already be a skeleton in the yellow sand.
The arrival of Ning Ye and his two companions went unnoticed by others, but attracted the attention of some pickpockets.
After all, Ning Ye and his two companions didn't look like they were here to do business. People like Ning Ye, who looked wealthy, would naturally be targeted by petty thieves.
Unfortunately, this time they had their plans thwarted. If they thought Ning Ye was some naive rich young master, they would have been sorely mistaken.
As Ning Ye was walking down the street, looking around to see what the place was like, he suddenly realized someone was approaching him from behind. And the target was very clear: the money pouch at his waist.
The person who ran over wasn't tall, but he seemed to move quite quickly. Before the two guards could react, his hand was already on Ning Ye's money bag, clearly giving the feeling of pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.
Unfortunately, Ning Ye dodged the attack with a slight movement and casually grabbed the guy's dirty little hand.
"Little guy, isn't it a good thing that no one tells you it's not a good thing to steal?"
The thief, completely shrouded in a cloak, revealed only a pair of large, dark eyes, and began to struggle frantically the moment he was caught.
The force was so great that Ning Ye frowned slightly, because it was so strong that he felt as if it could break his small bones at any moment.
Ning Ye quickly said, "Don't worry, I don't intend to punish a child like you. I just hope you can behave yourself and I'll ask you a few questions."
