Chapter 418 Threats and Intimidation (Please vote and subscribe)
You Fu held the scroll in his hand and read it carefully word by word. Ling Feng beside him was also translating and explaining the meaning of the diplomatic letter. Both of them had read this scroll in advance. When the letter was delivered, there was also a vernacular translation written on white paper inside. Therefore, both of them knew the content of this diplomatic letter very well and seemed very calm when explaining it to each other.
However, Tengger's expression was completely opposite to the calmness of the two. He was really more and more frightened as he listened. The previous paragraph first talked about their crime of robbery. He was disdainful to deny this, and there was no way to deny it. Robbery was robbery, and there was nothing to say.
But the following paragraph was used to threaten them, and Tengger was really scared.
"Well, well, tens of thousands of troops are a lot, how many?" Tengger wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with some stammering.
"You know the hundred and thousand, did you see the sheep you took away? There are about 1,000 of them. Ten sheep of that size means 10,000, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands." Ling Feng counted them on his fingers.
"All of you?" Tenger asked in shock and curiosity.
"Why, do you still want to try? I can tell you clearly that we have a lot of these weapons. We can make as many as you want. It doesn't matter if you don't want to pay. I just want to try the speed of this knife." Hearing that he dared to ask this, You Fu immediately drew his saber from his waist, put the long blade on Tenger's shoulder and said.
You Fu's saber was a straight-bladed horizontal sword. The blade was narrow and long, but very heavy. It was also very heavy when placed on the shoulder. But more importantly, the threat brought by this sword was more oppressive than the sword itself.
It was also the first time that Tengger saw the weapons of the Han tribe warriors at such a close distance. The last battle was at night, and the visibility was very low. He could only barely see a shadow, but he knew that the weapon would reflect light. It was very long and thin, and it was a flat strip. However, only those who had been through it knew what it looked like, and most of those who knew it were dead.
Now seeing such a magical weapon with his own eyes, he was even more frightened and dared not move. The snow-like light, the straight blade, the exquisite steel-clad pattern, and the brass hollowed-out blade all showed the preciousness of this weapon.
This must be very valuable, and even several cattle and horses could only be exchanged for one, Tengger thought so, but he was not stupid. He knew very well what the significance of mastering such a weapon was, and he knew that this was a weapon that the other party would never sell, which was why he believed the content of the diplomatic letter.
Tens of thousands of soldiers did sound scary and a lot. There was not even a tribe in the world that could afford so many strong laborers, but Tengger had no way of being sure whether the Han tribe had so many people.
Just imagine how many people there are in a Han tribe that has such amazing weapon manufacturing technology, can produce white salt by itself, and can even export it. It also has vehicles as a transportation artifact, and is able to send caravans to exchange a large amount of supplies for its tribe. No one would believe that there are only a few thousand people.
"No, I don't want to try, but you want too many things. I can only go back and tell the leader first. This is no longer something I can decide." Tengger carefully pinched the blade on his shoulder and pushed it outward little by little. This Han tribe is too scary. If they have tens of thousands of warriors holding such weapons, the Snow Wolf will not be able to fight. It is better to surrender as soon as possible.
"I know you won't compensate immediately. Take this letter and go back to show it to your leader. Tell him what we just said. Next time the ice and snow melt, if you don't take it out for compensation, then you don't have to take it." You Fu put away the steel knife, threw the scroll into the other's arms and said coldly.
"Ah. Ah?! No need to take it, you mean no need to pay compensation?" Tengger was stunned when he heard Ling Feng's translation, and then he was surprised. You know, this is a huge amount of material compensation. If it can be saved, it would be great.
"Hehe, yes, you don't have to take it. If we don't see the things, we will send soldiers to take them directly." You Fu sneered.
"Then, if we want compensation, how should we give you the things?" Tenger asked again.
"It's at the place where you attacked the caravan at night. There is a Jingguan built with your corpses, that is, a pile of corpses, and there is a big flag like the one in your hand on it. As long as you go there and wait for a full moon, our caravan will arrive.
At that time, we will send giant eagles to scout. If they don't find your compensation, then the next time they come, it will not be a caravan, but an army holding steel knives. I hope your leader can think it over carefully.
Also, don't think that we can't find you if you move. The giant eagles we raise can fly across the entire grassland in two days at most. No matter where you run, we can find your hiding place." You Fu showed the delivery location and warned him twice at the end.
"Oh, I see. I will definitely bring your words and these two things to the chief, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree. Well, if there is nothing else, we will return. You won't stop us, will you? If we can't go back, we won't be able to bring news to the chief."
Tengger almost begged at the end. He really didn't want to continue to face these two people from the Han tribe. Perhaps it was a mistake to decide to rob the caravan of the Han tribe. It was all the fault of the old man selling bamboo. This time, he must smash his bones and feed them to the dogs.
"Wait, you are going back like this?" You Fu stared at him with strange eyes, which made Tengger's hair stand on end.
"Then, then there is another thing, oh, right, those sheep are all yours, we won't take them away." Tengger looked at You Fu with a bad face, and suddenly remembered that they came here to intercept these livestock.
"Hmm? Nothing else?!" You Fu continued to ask with a cold face, laughing secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party was really scared and gave back the sheep that was stolen just by threatening him.
"There's more, there's more..."
"Don't say there's more, there's more. Leave half of your horses. I see that each of you still has two or three horses. You can keep one for yourself. The rest will be considered as part of the compensation for this advance payment. You won't object, right?"
You Fu drew the steel knife from his waist again
