Chapter 136 [VIP]



Yan Tao stared at Tana for a long moment before muttering, "This idea was given to you by Teacher Bian, right?"

Tana was quite surprised when she heard this: "How did Master Yan know this?"

Yan Tao silently lowered her head and looked at her phone.

In fact, after Xia Ying told her about the amendment to the Border County Law, Yan went to read the contents over and over again, but she didn't understand anything.

It was still Teacher Bian Cheng who summed it up in four words: labor reform, which directly pointed out the future development direction and source of power of the grassland.

From this we can see that Mr. Bian’s train of thought is consistent with those in the capital.

God-like professional boiler burning.

However, Yan Tao did not explain these details to Tanado. Instead, she asked, "Bob is still young. Will they notice anything unusual?"

Sting enforcement is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually do it.

Tana, however, has great confidence in the boy: "He may not be good at Chinese or math, but I have great confidence in him."

Yan Tao was curious: "What?"

Tana recalled Babu's actions recently, especially their first meeting in Hua'an County, when the young man had clearly shot her through the chest with an arrow, yet rushed to her first to cry and feel wronged. The female leader firmly stated, "He definitely has a natural talent for deception."

Yan Tao: ...

What's with that smug tone?

And Babu did not disappoint Tana's expectations.

He changed into a new set of clothes, carried a long arrow on his back, and then went to find Chiwu.

At this time, the young barbarian was diligently... moving bricks.

Babu was extremely surprised to see this. He trotted over and asked, "It's so late, why are you still working?" He looked around and said, "I remember the tribe leader said you just need to be quiet and not run around. There's no need to do this. Is someone forcing you to do this?"

As he spoke, Babu frowned.

He didn't sympathize with Chi Wu. After all, this man was deceiving people under the banner of Langyun Immortal. Suffering a little could be considered as helping him to turn over a new leaf.

But the boy didn't like people disobeying Tana's orders.

Look, he is pretending to obey but actually disobeying. The words he uses now are very sophisticated!

Just as he was convincing himself that his Chinese language learning was beginning to show results, he heard Chi Wu gasp and reply, "This is what I wanted to do."

Babu looked surprised.

I have seen people who are lazy before, but this is the first time I have seen someone who takes the initiative to move bricks.

Is it because Immortal Langyun's aura is too strong? How could this person's enlightenment suddenly rise after just one glance at the immortals?

Then Chi Wu said, "I can't escape now, and I can't run away. If it weren't for you, I would have been torn apart by the people of that tribe."

Having said this, he shuddered.

He seemed to feel the moment when his lie was exposed again, and the cold light of the big knife blade scraped across his scalp.

So Babu asked, "So, you want to repay us for saving your life by working for us?"

Chi Wu muttered, "Not really."

"That……"

"If you don't do anything, you can only eat steamed buns. Only if you work can you eat meat, hehe."

Bob: ...Oh.

And he obviously did not come here to go deep into the grassroots to understand the people's sentiments.

So after patiently following Chiwu in moving a basket of bricks to the right place, Babu grabbed him and said softly, "Here's an opportunity for you. As long as you cooperate, I can ask the clan leader to change your job."

Chi Wu's eyes lit up: "Can you eat meat too?"

Babu nodded: "Of course." Then he told Chiwu about the plan.

The young barbarian's current goal was to have a good meal, so naturally he agreed.

So he quickly put down the frame and left with Babu.

Soon, they arrived at the tent where the grassland people from other tribes were imprisoned.

This tent is a little different from the others.

It looks like it's all made of white cloth, but in fact, it's supported by sturdy iron bars, with a roof on top and iron plates buried underground. The whole thing is a cage disguised as a tent. Apart from the locked iron door, there is no other way to leave.

The grassland people inside also tried various ways to escape, but all ended in failure.

They were also afraid. After all, everyone knew the grassland people's attachment to the grassland. They came here without permission and occupied other people's land. According to the rules of the grassland, there was nothing wrong with killing them on the spot.

But after these people caught them, they just threw them into cages and left them alone.

No interrogation, no scolding.

He didn't even talk to them, and apart from giving them some food and water, he didn't even look at them.

But this made several people extremely panicked. They were afraid to sleep at night, for fear that they would be dragged out and used as fertilizer as soon as they closed their eyes.

When Chiwu saw them, he saw a series of dark circles under their eyes.

This startled the young barbarian: "Did you get beaten?"

When the grassland people saw Chiwu, they felt like they had seen a savior and rushed over to him.

But someone grabbed them.

This person was the only one among the crowd who had injuries on his body.

He was the one who had refused to cooperate and attempted to launch a sneak attack on Tana, but was hit in the face by the female leader's shield.

At this time, the swelling on his forehead had not completely subsided, and it was right in the middle of his forehead, which looked a bit funny.

His expression was indeed serious. He stared at Chi Wu and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

Chi Wu replied: "Don't you recognize me? Back in the tribe..."

As a result, the man interrupted directly: "Don't lie to us. People here have said before that you are not a god from Langyun at all, but you are deceiving us." As he said this, he wanted to scold the liar and at the same time let his companions be firmer and not be fooled again.

But before he could speak, he saw Chi Wu sighing heavily, sitting cross-legged outside the cage, and speaking with emotion: "I am indeed not a fairy from Langyun."

The man sneered, his face showing disdain.

Then Chi Wu continued, "I am actually a follower of Lang Yun and studied with the immortal, but my skills are not very good, so I am only a half-immortal now."

Uh-huh?

This identity change is quite fast.

Chi Wu didn't even give them time to react, and continued, "I came down the mountain because I got a secret from Lang Yun."

As he spoke, he paused, as if waiting for someone to ask.

He found that the dark circles inside were completely motionless. Chi Wu curled his lips and simply said directly, "The secret is that there is an amazing treasure in the nearby mountains. Even if you get just a little bit of the things inside, it is enough for a person to enjoy for ten lifetimes."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Many times, people cannot resist temptation.

If it doesn't work, it only proves that the temptation is not big enough.

Then Chi Wu lowered his voice and said, "I want the treasure there, so I secretly came down the mountain, hoping that you would help me dig it out. But unfortunately, the immortals from Langyun came to capture me, causing my magic power to fail. Now I have become an ordinary person. If I am caught and taken back, I will probably suffer for a hundred years." He paused and showed the key. "If you can help me, I will let you out now."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

In just this short period of time, Chi Wu used a vague new alias and told a vague so-called secret.

But precisely because it was unreliable from the beginning, this news sounds much more reasonable.

What's more, the tribe did ask them to come here, but did not tell them the purpose.

And what Chi Wu held in his hand was indeed the key that could allow them to escape...

Thinking of this, the grassland man with the bump on his head finally stopped sneering and came closer, lowering his voice and asking, "Are you serious?"

Chi Wu sighed: "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I come to help you."

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

Everyone immediately shut their mouths and held their breath, fearing to attract attention.

Then, Babu's voice came from outside: "This batch of stuff needs to be completed as soon as possible. The leader said that we must go up the mountain within ten days. Everything must be prepared."

"Then the people in this tent..."

"Take it out and feed it to the wolves tomorrow."

These words were so light and easy, just like eating and drinking water.

But it was terrifying to hear.

If those with dark circles under their eyes could be a little more rational, they would find that everything was too coincidental and too sudden, and there might be a trap waiting for them.

But they were too tired and too scared.

After being left like this for several days, they almost scared themselves to death.

When you keep thinking about your death every day, when the day really comes, you will naturally not have any doubts.

So, when Babu's voice faded away, they were still tense and the dark circles under their eyes deepened.

Chi Wu shook the key in his hand at the right time and said: "As long as you promise to take the treasure for me, I will let you go."

The people with dark circles under their eyes who had been hesitant just now nodded in unison this time.

I was afraid that if I was a step slower, I would be dragged away and fed to the wolves...

So soon, Chiwu opened the prison door and led them out of the tent.

The people outside had been sent away by Babu long ago, and were quiet at the moment, which was unusual.

But how could the frightened people on the grassland expect so much?

The real thing is to escape!

So, they followed Chiwu outside without any doubt, all the way to the edge of the tribe. Chiwu stopped, and these people didn't even have time to look at him, and ran away!

The anxiety on Chi Wu's face was no longer there. Instead, he looked calm and even had a hint of a smile on his face.

When he felt Babu approaching him, Chiwu smiled and said, "You have a good idea."

But Babu was a little curious: "Why would you really help me?"

In Babu's mind, even if Chiwu verbally agreed to the request, he was still abducted by his own tribe, so even if he helped, his help would be discounted, so the young man from the grassland stayed outside the tent.

It seems like they are cooperating, but in fact they are also monitoring this person's every move.

Unexpectedly, Chi Wu was so genuine and worked even harder than him.

When Chi Wu heard this, he calmly replied, "Because we barbarians clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment."

Babu was surprised: "Really? But I always thought you hated us."

Chi Wu waved his hand and said, "Let's put it this way. Your tribe has never taken the initiative to harm me and my people. On the contrary, it was General Wu and his people..." Chi Wu didn't say the rest of the sentence. He just sighed and said, "They deserve it. I have no reason to complain."

Babu blinked and pointed at the receding figure: "Those people haven't harmed the Barbarian Country, have they?"

Then Chi Wu gnashed his teeth and said, "Of course they did! That tribe almost killed me!"

Babu was confused: "Isn't it because you lied to them first?"

Chi Wu didn't say anything, just snorted.

They always hold grudges with a clear conscience and their pettiness is written right on their faces.

However, the two of them did not notice that Tana and Yan Tao were watching the whole process not far behind them.

Yan Tao, in particular, not only watched but also recorded it with her mobile phone, and sighed softly: "Babu is indeed talented."

Tana looked as if she had expected it, and said softly, "He's doing well. It looks like we can arrange something else for him to do besides studying in the future."

Yan Tao was surprised: "I thought you would want him to continue studying hard."

Tana said calmly, "Of course he has to learn. It doesn't interfere with his work. For example, when he's catching criminals soon, he can calculate how many arrows he shot and how many people he hit. Isn't that just a ready-made probability problem?"

Yan Tao: ...

Listen, this question really hurts.

However, Yan didn't raise any objections, because she could see that compared to studying, Babu was better at archery, horse riding, and tricks...

If one day, this dimension develops to a certain stage and can also run the entertainment industry, Bob will definitely be a talented actor with a special life.

But Yan Tao was still a little curious: "Actually, what just happened required a lot of preparation. What if something went wrong and caused Babu's plan to fail? Or what if the grassland people from other tribes were smart enough to see the flaw? Or what if they left without telling anyone about the imaginary treasure? If someone knew about such a big thing, they would always hide it secretly."

Tana smiled and said softly, "Then keep them locked up."

"But your plan..."

"I'll have my people disguise themselves and go out to spread the news. The effect will be the same." As she spoke, Tana looked at the backs of the grassland people who had disappeared into the depths of the grassland and said softly, "In everything, we must be prepared for both situations. That way we can be invincible. Besides, I really like the saying of the fairyland."

Yan Tao: "What?"

Tana: "If there are criminals, we will arrest them. If there are no criminals, we will arrest those who create them."

Yan Tao: ...
