Xi Yu's leader is very good at finding opportunities. She knew Jiang Sen had just returned, so she avoided them and secretly ran to the Dried Fish Tribe.
The King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe, who had just returned, was taken into custody at his residence.
"You..." King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe really wanted to say, 'Are you trying to take advantage of me?' After all, this was his private residence; what was a woman like you doing barging in here? But after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, he couldn't afford to mess with those burly guys next to him.
"Hehe! King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe, long time no see! You look like you'll live for many more years." Xi Yu smiled; the little old man was as healthy as ever.
"Hehe, Chief Xi Yu, are you good at judging people?" King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe knew that meeting in this way couldn't possibly be anything good. Making a joke to lighten the mood shouldn't be a problem.
"Hehe! That depends on your choice, King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe." With that, Xi Yu handed the letter she had just found on the table to the King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe. When she received the letter, she knew that it must have been written by someone who needed the Black Stones, because it was exactly the same as the one in her hand.
This letter must contain Jiang Sen's secret about mining stones, which they've now been robbed of without their knowledge. She needs to know the whole story so she won't be taken advantage of in future deals.
"Tell me about it! King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe. I've always been pretty good at judging people."
King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe knew he was in trouble when he saw the letter. It was a secret. Although he now knew it was a prank, he told Jiang Sen's nemesis. If Jiang Sen found out later, wouldn't he throw him into the lake to feed the fish?
"Oh, Chief Xi Yu, we've never had any conflict. We're all friends. There's really nothing wrong with that. You know, last time Chief Jiang Sen robbed a wealthy neighbor. There was a letter among the spoils. He couldn't read, so he showed it to me and then left it with me."
"Heh! King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe, don't think that just because I'm good at judging people, I can spout nonsense. If I do, you might not see the sun rise tomorrow."
"Yes, it was just a simple letter home. That damned count asked his precious son whether he wanted white bread or roast meat for lunch. Oh, good heavens! What a difficult choice for a young child."
"Click." A sword was placed against the neck of the King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe.
"Oh my god! How foolish the count was, did he really need to write a letter to ask about this? Yes, he did it anyway out of concern for his child. What a great father."
"Click." A sword was placed against the other side of the King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe's neck.
"Okay! I have to say my neck feels a bit better now, it's not chilly on one side anymore."
The two swords pressed against his neck seemed to be applied with some force. He felt something warm flowing down his throat.
"Ah! It's like this, someone wanted to buy those black stones, so Jiang Sen dug some up and delivered them to the place they specified. Now Jiang Sen is back, and that's all I know." King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe quickly explained about the stones; any later and he might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the longsword leave his neck, though his neck was probably bleeding.
However, he only mentioned the stone; he dared not say anything else. And he only briefly touched upon the stone.
"Very good, King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe, I am satisfied with your answer. However, the content of the letter is irrelevant; I was just asking casually. We are friends, and what is most important in friendship? It is trust. I came here mainly to borrow some boats from you, and I believe you will agree." Xi Yu smiled happily.
"Borrow a boat?" King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe was puzzled. Why make such a fuss about borrowing a boat?
"Yes, we need to borrow your boat. The young men of our tribe want to see the scenery in the distance. Of course, I can offer you some compensation."
"Enjoying the scenery?"
"Yes, isn't that a good idea?"
