Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Qu Bhudan has been doing business in their country for many years, so of course he is very familiar with the status and connections of the Wuning Marquis' Mansion. Although the Wuning Marquis has no real power now, if he kills the people of the Wuning Marquis' Mansion here, he believes that the Wuning Marquis will definitely be able to persuade his emperor to attack the Wu Kingdom.

Because of Ukraine's special geographical location, which country on both sides does not want to annex Ukraine? Several countries have often fought wars before, and Ukraine is often attacked from both sides. All the men in ordinary families must go to the battlefield. If there are not enough men, women must also go to the battlefield. This is why all their citizens are soldiers.

It was just that their terrain was complex, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and their people were tough, so no country could easily conquer them. After fighting for hundreds of years, the treasury of Su Qin's country was empty, and some ministers suggested peace talks and trade. The late emperor agreed, and the two countries gradually began to trade. Slowly, other countries followed suit and began to trade. This trade route was formed, and the country of Wu gradually became rich by relying on tolls.

Although no one can conquer the Wu Kingdom, no one in the Wu Kingdom wants to fight. Who would be willing to send their children to the battlefield if they can live a peaceful life? If this village chief provokes a war, he will definitely be a sinner of the Wu Kingdom.

Qu Bhutan wiped the sweat from his forehead and told the village chief about the background of Su Qin and her caravan. Then he advised earnestly: "Village chief, they are not people who can be easily offended. If they really want to provoke a war between the two countries, we cannot afford it.

If we cooperate with them, we will not only have an endless supply of food, but also an endless supply of fine fabrics and jewelry. Their goods are better than anyone else's. If you report the terraced fields to the chief, your contribution will undoubtedly be the greatest among all the village chiefs."

The village chief certainly knew this. He just felt that a caravan led by a woman was not threatening. He wanted to get the terraced field technology from Su Qin at any cost. However, he miscalculated. How could a woman who dared to go out to do business on her own be controlled at will?

But he didn't want to give in either, so he said to Qu Bhutan, "If you ask her to hand over the weapon that just injured the guard, I will agree to the terraced fields deal with her."

Qu Bhudan looked embarrassed. Who would give his life-saving weapon to others? But he had to translate.

After listening to his translation, Su Qin laughed sarcastically: "I think the village chief still doesn't understand the situation. I mentioned the terraced fields because I saw that the people here are really pitiful and their lives are miserable. I want to make your lives better. As for the conditions I proposed, they are just a little bit of revenge. Compared with what I brought to you, it is not worth mentioning.

The village chief actually wants to use this to control me. I think he has stayed in the mountains for too long and has become stupid.

Since he's not interested in growing crops, I won't bother him anymore. I'll take my people and leave today."

After saying that, she turned around and left. What a joke! You want her sleeve arrow, but why don’t you want her life? You have such a nerve! This sleeve arrow was given to her by Zhao Liangchen so that she could protect herself. It was a secret in the army and was made with great precision. It could fire ten arrows in a row. Only members of the royal family were qualified to use it.

Zhao Liangchen took advantage of his position and secretly prepared one for her and Zeng Lao, and also trained her how to use it. If others knew that Zhao Liangchen gave her this, Zhao Liangchen would be implicated.

Seeing Su Qin about to leave, Qu Bhutan was anxious and tried to persuade the village chief: "Village chief, that is someone's life-saving skill. How can I give it to you so easily? Let's talk about business. If the other village chiefs know about this, you will lose all your credit."

The village chief looked at Su Qin's back, furious. He had never been ignored like this before. He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "Let her go. Let all the archers prepare. I want to see if she can get out of my village."

Qu Bhutan was so frightened that he knelt down and begged, "Village leader, please don't do this. Miss Zeng brought more people than just these few. Most of them haven't even entered the village yet. They are all very skilled. Think about the weapons she just used. If all her people had weapons like that, and we really hurt Miss Zeng, then if they retaliate, our village will be destroyed."

The village chief asked with bloodshot eyes: "You didn't lie to me?"

Qu Bhudan hurriedly shook his head: "I dare not lie to the village chief. The people following Miss Zeng are only a small number of people. Most of them have gone to pick up others. Those people are all more powerful than the female guard beside her."

The village chief sat back down, stroking his braided beard. It took him a long time to calm down his anger. "Go call her back and tell her I'm willing to have a good talk with her."

Qu Bhudan hurried to invite someone. Su Qin had already left. Qu Bhudan trotted after her and said, "Miss Zeng, the village chief wants you to go back and talk in detail. He won't embarrass you this time."

Su Qin smiled and said, "I was frightened just now. Let's not talk about it today. Let's talk about it after I calm down."

After taking two steps, she stopped again and said, "By the way, please bring back the arrow I just found."

The arrows were made of fine iron and were hard to come by. One less arrow would be used, so they could not be wasted.

Qu Bhudan looked at Su Qin's back with a wry smile, and he was extremely resentful towards the village chief in his heart. Miss Zeng was right, the village chief had been in the position for too long and had become stupid. If someone else had encountered such a good thing, they would definitely treat Su Qin as a guest of honor. But the village chief still wanted to control her. Do you have the ability to control her?

When the village chief saw that Qu Bhutan did not invite the people back, he became furious and scolded Qu Bhutan and punished the injured guard.

He didn't want to return the arrow to Su Qin, but he studied the arrow for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was. Their country didn't know how to smelt iron, and all the ironware was exchanged from outside. The arrows their archers used were good enough if the arrowheads were made of iron. Most people used arrowheads for hunting that were either stone or bamboo. This kind of fine iron had never been seen before. He wanted to take the arrow for himself, but he also knew that if he didn't exchange the arrow, Su Qin would definitely not tell him the technology of growing crops.

He had no choice but to ask Qu Bhudan to return the arrow.

After Su Qin returned, Mai Dong asked her in confusion, "Miss, since the village chief has evil intentions towards us, why don't we leave? With what you have, you can go to any village."

Su Qin shook her head and patiently explained to her, "It's the same wherever you go. Village leaders like them have been high and mighty for a long time. They are used to others submitting to them and wanting to take all the good things for themselves. They don't have the concept of equal exchange in their hearts. They grab what they can, and use dirty tricks if they can't. They only compromise when they have no other choice."

What we did today has already intimidated the village chief. He will consider our terms and negotiate with us. However, if we leave today and go to another village, we will have to do the same thing again. Without Qu Bhutan as the middleman, we may be in danger.

Mai Dong was very confused: "Girl, aren't we here to do business? Can't we just go west from here? Why do we have to stay here to teach them how to farm?"

Isn't there a saying that goes, "Teach your apprentice and starve yourself to death"? If they learn to farm, they won't need our food anymore. They might become even more powerful and even go to war with us.
