Chapter 1212: What Do They Mean?

As soon as Yangasha took out the clothing, she was certain that what they said was not false; this was indeed a gift from Huaxia. After all, the very cut of the garment was fashioned in the style of the Jiuli, and it looked as though it had been made specifically for Yangasha.

Naturally, Chiyou could not possibly take back something that had been gifted to Yangasha, even if it were Silk. To do so would make it difficult for him to command respect. If he could not take Yangasha's, he certainly could not take those of Bingzhu and Qianxi. Fortunately, looking at the large chest of Silk there, there was plenty, so there was no need to worry.

Only then did Chiyou reluctantly shift his gaze toward the other few chests, which he had failed to notice earlier because the Silk had been too eye-catching.

"Bingzhu, what is in those few chests? Bring them over for me to see."

Bingzhu hurried over to introduce them: "Father, these are all gifts from Huaxia for you. At the same time, these can also be considered the bride price for marrying Ayuduo. In any case, their general meaning is that Ayuduo is important to us, and they value her as well, so they are willing to bring out so many precious things to exchange for the precious Ayuduo."

Bingzhu spoke with great artistry; it did not sound like a transaction, but rather like a show of regard for Ayuduo. Chiyou felt comfortable hearing this, mainly because it was truly thanks to Ayuduo that they had made connections with such a wealthy tribe.

If he were asked to trade his daughter for this wealth, he would certainly be unwilling. But if the man who had gained his daughter was willing to send him so many good things, he was quite happy. The order of these things was important, and it also determined the nature of this transaction.

Bingzhu took the items out of the chest and said: "Father, look, this is Porcelain from Huaxia. It is like, like it is made from some kind of seashell; it is very smooth and also especially beautiful. This thing is also very precious in Huaxia, and he has sent you a full set of Porcelain."

Chiyou hurriedly took the Porcelain from Bingzhu's hands. The smooth, icy sensation in his hand was truly very unique, but Chiyou also had a question: "What is meant by a 'set'?"

Bingzhu scratched his head: "I am not sure either. Many things and many terms in Huaxia are different from ours."

"For example, this thing you are holding, Father, they call it a plate. A set of theirs seems to be all the utensils that can be used for eating."

Bingzhu walked over again and began to count the items in the chest: "Five plates, five large bowls, ten small bowls, five cups, ten small goblets, and one bottle."

"Father, it seems that is all."

Chiyou was even more confused: "This sounds like five of this and ten of that, how is that a 'set'?"

"Father, I really do not know. We have only been in Huaxia for a few days and have had no time to understand so many things. In that short time, we had to take a good look at Huaxia and learn from them; they have too many things worth learning, and too many things that are better than ours."

Chiyou stroked the plate in his hand and said: "Better than our Jiuli? Then tell me, in what way are they better?"

Once asked this, Bingzhu could no longer hold back and began to speak incessantly. He spoke vividly and colorfully, while Qianxi and Ayuduo also added their own input from the side from time to time.

When language was not descriptive enough, they used their hands to gesture and their feet to measure, simply wanting to demonstrate the prosperity and strength of Huaxia.

At first, Chiyou found it interesting to listen to, then he felt a bit envious, and finally, he felt a bit of dread. Looking at the appearance of these few people, their description of Huaxia was definitely not false; it had to be true. They had only been there for a few days, so they surely had not seen many things. What would a fully revealed Huaxia look like? It must be extremely powerful. When did such a tribe appear in this world? Why had he never heard of it?

The others all curiously continued to ask them for details; everyone found it hard to believe, and they were all very curious and very surprised.

Chiyou kept thinking and pondering, feeling a bit of dread.

"By the way, Father, that King of Huaxia seems to know everything; there is nothing in the world he does not know."

"He has never even met you, Father, yet he knew you had an Iron-eating Beast."

"What!" Chiyou slapped the stone table, and the Iron-eating Beast sleeping at his feet was startled, its fat trembling.

The other Soldiers were also shocked. This was truly terrifying news. Someone who had never been to the Jiuli actually knew about the affairs of the Jiuli. To know that Chiyou had an Iron-eating Beast, one would absolutely have to be someone who had lived in this area of Dayeze; otherwise, they would never have seen the leader's Iron-eating Beast.

"Bingzhu, are you certain that the person named Baifeng said he had never been to the Jiuli, that he is not one of our Jiuli, and that there are no Jiuli people in their tribe?"

Speaking of this, Bingzhu was a bit doubtful. He voiced his own speculation: "Father, although that is what they said, I certainly do not believe it. I think some of our Soldiers must have accidentally arrived in Huaxia and then joined them."

"Later, they revealed this information to Baifeng, which is how Baifeng came to know it."

"However, Baifeng is indeed a very wise person. He told us many things and spoke of many matters."

Chiyou raised his hand to stop Bingzhu: "The Xuanyuan Tribe and Huaxia have always been in contact and have always been trading, but they never mentioned Huaxia to us, right?"

Bingzhu nodded: "That is correct, Father. They are even allies, and their relationship is especially good. Furthermore, the paper that the Xuanyuan Tribe has always given us is also from Huaxia; the Xuanyuan Tribe has no way to make paper."

"Furthermore, the Tuolong skins we traded to the Xuanyuan Tribe were also initially traded to Huaxia. They have earned very good profits from this."

Yushi suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Oh, I remember now!"

Chiyou hurriedly turned his head to ask: "Yushi, what have you thought of?"

"This Huaxia, I have heard of it. When I traveled from the Shennong Clan to the Jiuli, did I not pass through the territory occupied by the Xuanyuan Tribe? At that time, there was not only the Xuanyuan Tribe there, but also one of their allies, which was Huaxia. I was wondering why it sounded so familiar."

Chiyou sighed: "So Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe had already formed an alliance long ago. Now they can even join forces to attack the Shennong Clan; it seems their relationship is not ordinary."

"Then, for the Xuanyuan Tribe to trade with us like this without telling us there is a Huaxia, and for Huaxia not to trade with us while knowing so many of our affairs—what is the meaning of this?"
