Little Lord of the Beast World

Chapter 7 Heading to the King's Tent

Being rejected again, Hui didn't look discouraged at all, and immediately looked back at Hua eagerly: "Father, I don't think a few hundred people are enough. If I bring the whole clan to join the Xuefeng leader, will Xiaolin accept me?"

Hua almost laughed angrily, and slapped him across the face: "Prodigal son, if you have the ability to chase your partner by yourself, don't always think about taking the tribe as a bride price."

"Cut, stingy." Hui folded his arms and curled his lips in disdain, "Of course I will pursue Xiaolin on my own, but won't you help me, daddy? Hey, Xiaolin is so good, what if someone else snatches her up? What should I do if I chase after him?"

"That's true." Hua imagined the scene for a while, and became nervous, "You can't take the clansman away, or else prepare a few hundred more mountain beasts for the bride price?"

"This can be."

Patriarch Yue's expression was indifferent, despite the two father and son's quarreling, he took the lead in gathering the clansmen, and then took the lead to walk in the direction of the Marshal's Mansion.

Lin and the others went in another direction.

On the way to the capital, Mai had revealed a lot of information to Lin cryptically, and with the occasional few words he heard at home, Lin somewhat guessed his father's family relationship.

Currently, there are three or four strongest tribes in the Julang tribe, and Lin's grandfather Lie is one of them, the former leader of the White Wolf tribe.In recent years, due to poor health, the eldest son has inherited the position of patriarch, and he stayed in the royal capital with better conditions for the elderly.

Lin's grandma, who was from a defeated tribe and used to be his grandfather's maid, has passed away now.Lie had five or six children. Although Lin's father, Dong, had been recognized by him, he had never been taken seriously. After he became an adult, he was arranged to marry the daughter of the head of a small tribe.

After marriage, the relationship between husband and wife has been very cold. Because of the other party's cheating, Dong broke up with her, and then went to join the army.Relying on his superb shooting skills, he made great contributions and was even granted a territory by the great chief.

Later, Dong married again, and soon after Lin was born, although people sent some mountain goods to the capital every year, they seldom returned gifts.But this time for the succession of the territory, Mai still suggested that Lin come and walk around with his grandfather first.

After all, Lie was once the patriarch of the White Wolf Clan, and his connections and contacts are not comparable to those of these small tribes.As long as he can get Lie's support, the successor territory is absolutely guaranteed.

Lin would not be lofty enough to be unwilling to take advantage of this kinship relationship, so he prepared a lot of animal skins and nourishing herbs as gifts at home.

This time I got a precious ginseng by accident, and Mai said that the elderly must like it very much, why not add it to the gift, it is worse than gold and silver, and other things can be reduced appropriately.

Lin was slightly reluctant, but finally agreed.

They walked through the streets and alleys and came to Lie's residence. From the outside, it looked like a large courtyard with tall walls.I informed the guard of my identity, but the other party had strange eyes, looked at Lin carefully, and then hurriedly said: "I will report to the master." Then he closed the gate and hurried in, and more than 20 of them were left hanging at the gate.

Passers-by could not help but look this way curiously.Most of the villagers were traveling far for the first time, and seeing the majestic scene of the royal capital along the way, they were a little inferior and cautious, but now they were left hanging at the door, and they became more impetuous.

Lin was quite a bit shorter than everyone else, and he was just a small bean in comparison, but he was the calmest standing at the front of the line.He used to be in poor health and often received all kinds of unexplained looks, and he was used to being looked at by others.

The captain of the guard, Yan, is a man in his 30s. He is serious and good at fighting.The group of people brought here have all learned skills from him, and he has a high prestige among them.Yan coughed, and said in a low voice: "Look at how cowardly you are, do you feel that you are a head lower than others? Get up your spirits and learn from our Young Master Lin, so don't lose Xue Fengling's face." Everyone looked at it. Xiao Lin, who was so calm even as a child, cheered up shyly, puffing out her chest one after another.

After a while, the guard trotted over, followed by a handsome young man.The young man was wearing dyed clothes with colorful feathers pasted on them, which looked very bright.The young man also had white hair, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lin's. He walked over quickly. After seeing Lin, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. It's your little uncle."

The young man's voice was choked up, and his eyes were a little red. Lin looked at him, and remembered that Mai mentioned before that his grandfather was currently living with his most favored youngest son, and this person should be the one in front of him.

According to Mai, his little uncle is called Chen, and he has been studying literature and music in the capital of the Fox Tribe all these years. It has the title of "Art Capital" and he just came back at the beginning of the year.When Chen was young, he admired his father somewhat, and his relationship with Dong was also the best.

Xiaolin felt a kind of innocence and warm kindness from him, so he responded politely: "Hello, little uncle, I am Lin."

Chen's eyes became even redder, and she came over and patted his head: "Good boy, you really look like Brother Dong."

Another guy who likes to touch his head came, Lin felt a little uncomfortable, but his expression remained the same, he only pressed his ears slightly.

Chen looked up and saw Mai, and greeted him friendly, with a nostalgic tone: "Mai, I haven't seen you for many years, you are much older."

"Yes, Master Chen, you are already an adult, and I am almost 40 years old." Mai slightly bowed, but there was no disturbance in his heart.For Young Master Chen, those are the beautiful past worth remembering. For him, a humble servant who was born as a prisoner of war, the most profound thing is the ridicule and bullying with Master Dong, and the difficult years when he had to grit his teeth and work hard.He still prefers the days in Xuefeng.

Mai pointed to Ye and introduced, "This is Xiao Lin's uncle, Ye of the Frostwolf Clan."

"Hello." Chen nodded gracefully, and said a few more sentimental words, "Come in quickly, the old man is in the room." Then he told the attendants behind him, "Take Xiaolin to rest."

Chen took Lin's hand and walked in, and couldn't help but look down at Xiao Lin frequently while walking: "I didn't expect you to be so old. When I was young, I loved following Brother Dong the most. Later, when Brother Dong left, I also I went to other tribes, and then traveled to many places, but I didn’t expect that when I came back, things were different.” His words were full of sadness and nostalgia.

Lin was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Little uncle, I am reading the animal skin books you sent over." At the beginning of the year, Chen You asked someone to send several animal skin books over, and each book could be several thousand at most. Lin read all the words.

Chen is happy again.He likes literature and music, and of course he also likes people who have the same hobbies as him, so he has a better impression of the boy in front of him: "Has Xiaolin learned how to read? He is really a studious kid. I still have a lot of books there, do you like it?" , I'll give you some later."

The two chatted, and soon came to an open space, where a strong white-haired old man was practicing boxing and kicking.There are two deep nasolabial folds at the corners of the old man's mouth, making him look very serious, with the aura of a superior.

As soon as Chen came over, he said loudly, "Father, I brought Xiaolin here."

Lie stopped and put his hands behind his back.Lin looked up at the former leader of the big tribe, bowed slightly and said, "Hello."

"Yeah." Lie's attitude was indifferent, and he looked over with some scrutiny, "Are you here this time to take over the territory?"

"Yes." Lin's expression was also very flat.

Facing the cold faces of one big and one small at the same time, Chen felt his teeth hurt a little.The only thing that comforted him was that even though the little guy had a cold face, he was still very pleasing to the eye, much more eye-catching than his father.

Lie spoke unhurriedly, but very sternly: "Your incompetent elder brother committed suicide and lost his life, but he is right, there is no need to stay in such a remote and poor place. You, and those two Cub, come to the king to learn something from Chen. In a poor country, if you live in it for a long time, you will be useless."

In Lin's eyes, this old man was no different from a stranger, so no matter what he said, he couldn't make him angry. "I like the life in Xuefeng very much. It's beautiful there, and the people are kind and hardworking. I believe it will get better and better in the future." Lin raised his thin chest and looked up at Lie with neither humility nor arrogance.

Lie sneered, and looked at the half-beast boy with complicated eyes.Another stubborn figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and he left without looking back and never came back.

He was silent for a while, and Chen Xian refused: "Stinky old man, why are you so serious? Xiao Lin finally came here, you scared him."

Lie paused, and said to Chen: "You take the genealogy, take him to the chief, and settle the matter as soon as possible. The chief should be fine now, and he will rest in the afternoon."

"Okay, we'll go right away." Chen immediately agreed happily.If the old man can use this attitude, he is already submissive.

After saying a few words, the atmosphere cooled down, and Lin opened his mouth and said, "I won't bother you, I'll take my leave first." He only got a cold "um", Lin didn't care.

I sent him out in the morning, afraid that the child would feel bad, so I hurriedly comforted him: "Your grandfather is like this, he can't laugh at all, don't worry about it. I will accompany you to find the chief later, he is very kind , your business is sure to be fine."

"Thank you, little uncle." Facing the young master who came from a large tribe, the chief must have focused on winning over. With Chen's help, things went much smoother, and Lin sincerely thanked him.

"Thank you, this is what a little uncle should do." Chen smiled happily.He especially liked Lin, who was beautiful, quiet and polite, and couldn't help persuading him, "Actually, if you're willing to come to the capital, that's fine. There's nothing in the countryside. If you want to learn something, you still have to come to the capital."

Lin stopped talking again, and Chen didn't care, and continued to ask him about Xuefeng's leader.

The fellow villagers had already settled down in a separate courtyard, and Chen accompanied Lin there, saying that he would go to see the chief right away.Mai hurriedly arranged for the accompanying people, and brought out a small box of gold ingots.

When Chen saw it, he asked, "Why are you bringing these?" He was very surprised.Isn't it just to get a letter of succession for the territory, and to send things for a little bit, the great chief is so kind, how can I need these.

Mai smiled, and didn't bother to explain anything to the young master who was such an uncommon thing, he just said: "Be prepared to be safe."

Chen didn't say anything more.He has always had a good temper, and he doesn't have a young master's temper.

After packing up the presents, Ye and Yan took a dozen villagers, escorted Lin and Chen, and walked to the king's tent where the chief lived.In the past, tribal leaders lived in tents, and the chief's residence was called the king's tent.With the development of the times, the chief's residence has long been replaced by an exquisite house, but the name still remains.

A row of guards stood at the entrance of Wang's Tent. Chen Mingming was very familiar with these people, and greeted them with a smile when they met.

"Master Chen, why do you have time to see the chief today?" The guard captain smiled kindly and had a very polite attitude.

Chen casually explained: "Come here to ask the chief to do something, please let me know, I will invite the brothers to dinner tonight."

The guards applauded loudly, without asking any more questions, and immediately sent someone in to report.Chen continued to chat with these people, while Lin and the others stayed there and waited.This is the case when you go out to do errands. It is the best situation to get it done once.

Lin stood for a while, always feeling that someone nearby was watching him.
