Chapter 174 The Stupid Three Patriarchs
Why is Karen here?

Ling Yunsheng discussed with several caravan leaders, but he had no clue.

In the end, they could only judge that the Xiliang people in front were not from the Kailun tribe.

Looking back at the long caravan, Ling Yunsheng frowned silently.

Tribes with some strength on the grassland usually occupy a vast territory.

Although the guards found herdsmen who were suspected to be of the Kailun tribe more than 200 miles ahead, it did not mean that the other tribe was in that position.

It may be that the other party's base camp may be within a radius of more than four hundred miles.

"My lord," the old guide blushed, "the wind here is not considered dry and hot. Maybe the old man miscalculated, this place should be far from the desert of no return."

He suggested: "Either we go further north and find a way to bypass the tribe in front?"

Ling Yunsheng shook his head decisively.

Ling Mo had been a guide all his life, so it was unlikely that he would make a wrong calculation.

Moreover, the caravan brought a lot of vehicles and livestock, and drinking water would be a big problem if they really walked near the desert of no return.In the end, I'm afraid the gain outweighs the loss.

Ugh.

He sighed: "The ones who can run here and settle down should not be some large tribes. Let's go directly to the east, and we will go to the soldiers first."

The caravan has more than 400 guards and more than a thousand servants driving the chariot. It is not a vegetarian if it is ruthless.

The others muttered a few times with worried faces, and that was the best they could do.

The caravan soon split into two.Ling Yunsheng and a group of able-bodied people were exploring the way ahead.

The wheels were rolling, and they were about twenty miles behind them, heading east.

The guards had already grasped their swords, and the unarmed servants were also making weapons while rushing along the road, just in case.

The large caravan did not move slowly, but at this moment, it slowed down intentionally, and it took more than two days to travel two hundred miles.

On the evening of the third day, Ling Yunsheng was about to order the team to find a place to rest.

"Master, look!" Suddenly a guard exclaimed, "People from Xiliang!"

Ling Yunsheng suddenly looked up.

A dozen horses stood side by side on the small high ground in front of them, and a burly Xiliang man sat on each horse.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these people carried knives on their backs and bowed their waists, they didn't intend to take them off at all.The most important thing is that the surrounding terrain is open, and no one else is there as far as the eye can see.

drive!
Several caravan leaders glanced at each other, and they drove forward in unison.

Taking a closer look, Ling Yunsheng was even more relieved.

"Allen, so it's really you." He jumped off his horse hahaha: "Do you still recognize me?"

"Of course." Allen was overjoyed, quickly got off the horse, and came up to hug him with a happy face.

"The famous Ling family caravan in Sulan County, which tribe in Xiliang doesn't recognize it. Besides, our Kailun caravan is often taken care of by you every time we go to Sulan City. Although we don't thank you for your kindness, we can't forget it. "

He turned around and introduced to the people behind him: "My lord, this is Ling Yunsheng, the young merchant leader of the Ling family caravan."

Tie Le stood up with a smile and clasped his fists, "Ling Shangshou, I have admired your name for a long time."

A Lun introduced him again: "Shangshou Ling, this is our eldest son, Tie Le."

Since Ling Yunsheng came out to do business, he naturally had to remember some special or important people along the way, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"It turns out that your Excellency is Mr. Tie Le. When did you come back from Xingji City?"

Tie Le was not surprised either, and said with a smile, "It's been a while since I've been back."

The two sides laughed and chatted for a while.

Tiele looked up to the west.

As the sun sets, the vast grasslands are full of gold and jade.However, there was no one in front of him except for a few hawks circling in the sky.

The Ling family caravan disappeared for a long time.

"It's still early, where is your caravan?"

Ling Yunsheng and the others looked at each other and couldn't help hesitating.

clap clap!

Knowing their concerns, Tiele shook his head and stomped heavily on the grass under his feet.

"Don't worry. If we are ready to turn against Yunchui like other Xiliang tribes, we don't need to show up in this desolate north."

"What's going on here?" Ling Yunsheng and the others cheered up, wondering why the Kailun tribe appeared here.

"It's like this." Allen hastily briefly talked about what happened in Kailun in the past year.

In fact, these things have already spread.

It's just that the Ling family's caravan traveled too far to the west, so they haven't received any news for the time being.

In the end, he smiled wryly and said, "Speaking of which, we are now just like you. We have no home to return to. We have to take our clansmen to hide near this desert of no return."

Ling Yunsheng couldn't help but winked at the old guide.

It was not far from Kai Clan's new home, so they followed.

After running for less than half an hour, the horse team turned around a low hill.

Allen raised his whip and pointed forward, "We're home."

Ling Yunsheng raised his eyes subconsciously.

In the mountain nest in front, there are hundreds of tents of different sizes and colors.The periphery is one livestock circle after another.

It looks the same as before.

However, compared with the tents that Kailun couldn't see at a glance in the past, this time it has shrunk many times.

Bypassing the defensive thornbush, everyone slowly approached the tribe.

Ling Yunsheng was startled.

On the open space outside the tent, more than [-] young people holding weapons are earnestly lining up for training.All of them looked solemn, sweating like rain, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

His eyes flickered.

Because the Kailun tribe is not far from the border of Yunchui, caravans will pass by when they go back and forth, so Ling Yunsheng is not unfamiliar with this tribe.

In the past, the Karen people didn't like to dance with swords and guns, unless it was a tribal competition or a beautiful girl was inviting relatives.

Although their people are used to carrying bows and knives, that is just a tradition.Those knives and bows are more like accessories than weapons.

However, these weapons have completely changed their appearance at this time.The guys in the hands of the boys on the training ground were shining with a cold light. They were no longer the accessories of the past, but real murderous weapons.

Tie Le noticed Ling Yunsheng's gaze and shook his head feelingly.

In recent years, he has been studying in Xingji City and has read many famous works by Yunchui people.

For example, those who love war will die, and those who forget war will be in danger.

However, the experience of Kai Lun in the past two years made Tie Le deeply understand a truth.

If a race wants to survive, no matter whether it is warlike or forgetful of war, the prerequisite is to have its own strength.

Those who fled from the original Kailun with them are all tribesmen who do not want to fight.

But rather than saying that he escaped by himself, it might be better to say that he was chased by other clansmen all the way.

Because I don't have my own strength, it's okay to say in peacetime, but once there is chaos, I'm doomed to be chased and killed like a wild dog, and I can't go home in the end.

Therefore, if you want long-term peace, you must have enough strength to protect yourself.

"Hi sir."

"The son is back."

When the Kailun people saw them coming back, they greeted Tie Le respectfully.

Tie Le nodded with a smile and asked Allen to arrange a place for Ling Yunsheng and the others to live.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "Now we only have less than [-] clansmen, and because we live in a remote place, it is difficult to meet caravans. If Shangshou Ling doesn't mind, we can do business."

Ling Yunsheng was looking at the bubbling stream between the tents and felt distressed. Hearing this, he quickly raised his head: "I don't know what kind of business it is?"

Tie Le answered irrelevantly, "Presumably Ling Shang also knows that my father used to be the third patriarch of the Kailun tribe."

"This...of course Ling knows." Ling Yunsheng couldn't understand what he heard, so he could only comfort him dryly: "Young master, please pass by the way."

Tie Le smiled nonchalantly, "I don't know that Ling Shangshou probably didn't know that many people in the clan used to laugh at my father as a big fool."

Ling Yunsheng was a little dumbfounded.

He really didn't know this, and even if he knew it, it was not appropriate to say it in front of the Son of Man.

Tiele didn't intend to wait for his reply and continued, "The reason why my father was called stupid is because he raised more than 3000 horses."

Ling Yunsheng reacted immediately.

Because of the rules of the Grassland Royal Court, the herdsmen will forcibly buy better horses in a circle as long as they grow up a little, and the price is about the same as that of Ming Qiang.Therefore, raising horses is an absolutely loss-making business.

In this case, the three patriarchs also raised [-] horses, which is really stupid.

"The business we're talking about is these horses."
