Chapter 1063: Each One's Thoughts
The Large Ship really was as Chai had said, successfully docking at the Xuanyuan Tribe, and countless amounts of grain were carried off the ship; at this moment, the extremely anxious Changle was waiting directly on the Matou.
Bingzhu and the others were also watching together; the sack after sack of grain left Bingzhu and the others shocked beyond measure, and of course, having so many sacks that could hold grain was also an extremely shocking thing.
Dahong and the others were also there, since they had come to receive it after all; seeing so much grain arrive once again also reduced their pressure significantly, otherwise, if Huaxia went back on its word or if there were any problems with the grain supply, then the front lines would be in danger.
Qianxi sighed: "Changle, you Huaxia really do have grain; so much, and you are just giving it all away to the Xuanyuan Tribe for free?"
Dahong and the others remained silent, because they did not know to what extent the two tribes had already communicated, or how detailed the secrets they had shared were, so the best course of action for the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe now was to say nothing and just watch the two tribes talk; not speaking would certainly not be wrong.
"How is it giving it away for free? Didn't I tell you? We and the Xuanyuan Tribe are currently united to attack the Shennong Clan, but since we sent fewer people, we are giving more grain, so that it will be easy to calculate the results with the Xuanyuan Tribe in the end."
Qianxi nodded: "Oh, so that's how it is!"
Dahong and the others shook their heads, feeling that Changle was talking a bit too much; had he been bewitched by Ayuduo, why was he saying everything? Shouldn't this be a secret between Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe?
Changle naturally noticed the expressions of Dahong and the others, so he spoke without hesitation: "I didn't expect the Jiuli to know this news so early; when you met the Xuanyuan Tribal Chief at the Shennong Clan, our people might not have even set off yet; it seems now that these secrets can no longer be considered secrets."
Dahong and the others were instantly left speechless; indeed, Changle could not be blamed.
Taking advantage of the moment they were stunned, Changle said directly: "Dahong, Changxian, I am thinking of letting these people from the Jiuli stay here for a while longer, so that Bingzhu, Yangasha, and the others can take a trip to Huaxia; after all, since Ayuduo is staying here and is my woman, it is only right that they go see what Huaxia is like, isn't it?"
"By the way, I will also have them meet my father; my father might give them something as a token of gratitude and to make up for the hardships of their journey."
"As for their food while at the Xuanyuan Tribe, you can provide it for them first, and put it on my tab."
"When I come back from Huaxia, I will bring you the grain that is owed, alright? You can trust my, Changle's, reputation, right?"
Since Changle had already said this much, what other choice did they have? Dahong and Changxian were able to make decisions on such matters, so they agreed, though Changle would still have to pay it back; it was impossible to give it to Changle for free.
Xuanxiao, however, said from the side: "Changle, I heard that in your Huaxia, there are always sacrificial ceremonies to celebrate such major events, right?"
Changle did not hide it: "Yes, I am a Prince after all, so this time it will certainly be very lively, and it should be similar to my brother's; my brother's wedding at the time was very lively."
Unexpectedly, Xuanxiao clapped his hands: "In that case, Changle, this time, I will go to Huaxia with you; you have such a good thing that needs celebrating, my father is not here, and Dahong and Changxian need to stay at the Xuanyuan Tribe, so it can only be me."
"I will go to Huaxia in place of my father, representing the Xuanyuan Tribe, to congratulate you and bless you at the ceremony; of course, I will also bring our Xuanyuan Tribe's gifts, Changle, what do you say? Even without the relationship between our two tribes, we are friends."
Since Xuanxiao had said as much, what could Changle do? He could only smile and say: "Alright, alright, welcome, welcome; if a few more people can go, that is fine too; this is a rare grand event in our Huaxia, it will be very lively, and there will be lots of delicious food and drinks from many places, and it will be very fun; apart from Huaxia, there couldn't possibly be another place like it."
"Xuanxiao, you haven't seen it, you must come."
"Alright, since you have agreed, then I must go and pick out some gifts; the gift I give you certainly cannot be too poor; it just so happens that my mother said she just finished weaving a very special and beautiful type of Silk, so I will go get some to use as a gift for you."
"You in Huaxia like to use Silk to make clothes; if you use that kind of Silk, the clothes made will definitely be the most beautiful."
Changle hugged Ayuduo and said: "Alright, I was just thinking of using Silk to make more clothes for Ayuduo; if there could be some different Silk, that would be the best; Xuanxiao, then I am very grateful for your gift."
Changle knew very clearly that Xuanxiao's purpose would not be that simple; now that Huaxia and the Jiuli were inexplicably walking together, it was truly incomprehensible, so someone had to go to Huaxia to take a look, especially during such a tense time; someone with a high enough status who could come into contact with the most important information had to go to Huaxia to see for themselves.
Counting it up now, it seemed only Xuanxiao was better suited, as he could represent the Xuanyuan and was smart enough; his leaving the Xuanyuan Tribe would not affect the operation of Huaxia, so he had to go.
Everyone knew it in their hearts, but no one could say it explicitly; the once simple and honest savages had now begun to scheme against each other, guess, and hide things; this was the way of survival for these large tribes; those tribes that remained primitive were the easiest to have their entire tribe wiped out when they had not yet learned to deceive.
For Changle, it did not matter; if Xuanxiao wanted to come, he could come; whether he was watching or trying to stop the alliance between the Jiuli and Huaxia, it did not matter to Changle.
He had found a beautiful wife he liked, so what if he let his father handle the aftermath and clean up his mess? Changle knew he would certainly make the relationships between these few large tribes very awkward and peculiar, but this was something he could not help.
He had never handled such political trouble, so he would just leave everything to his father to handle.
But Bingzhu and the others had just heard something incredible and asked with wide eyes: "Changle, you just said you wanted to use Silk to make clothes for Ayuduo?"
Changle blinked his innocent eyes: "Yes, that is what I said; I want to make several sets for Ayuduo; how about it, do you want some? I will have them work overtime and put in more effort, and they should be able to finish them before you leave Huaxia."
