198: Chapter 198 The Clever Girl Kim Hee-sun

"Are you thinking of handing me over to your Chanyu to claim a reward?"

Lu Jia directly voiced Jin Tu's thoughts.

Jin Tu's gaze remained incredibly fierce.

A cruel smile even played at the corners of his mouth.

So what if Lu Jia had seen through his thoughts?

This was his territory, not the territory of the Great Qin.

The scouts drew their revolvers one after another; some aimed at Jin Tu, while others aimed at the people glaring at them with hostility.

Still other scouts pressed their revolvers against Cao Jiacheng's lower back and pulled back the hammers.

"Chief!"

Cao Jiacheng hurriedly called out to Jin Tu.

When his lower back was pressed by the hard object, Cao Jiacheng's heart panicked immensely.

Before Lu Jia died, he would definitely be the first to go!

Jin Tu's gaze curiously fell upon the silver revolvers in the hands of these Great Qin people.

He had seen Great Qin soldiers use portable crossbow bolts, and he had seen the Qin Crossbow; he had even seen the large ballistae.

Although he had never seen these strange tube-like objects held by the Great Qin people, since the other party used them as weapons, they were certainly not simple.

Clang, clang, clang!

Jin Tu's guards drew their scimitars one after another, shielding Jin Tu behind them.

Their muscles were tensed; as soon as Jin Tu gave the order, they would take down Lu Jia and his group.

"Everyone, do not be nervous. Everyone, do not be nervous."

Just as the atmosphere was incredibly heavy, Lu Jia's indifferent voice spoke up.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall upon Lu Jia.

"Chief Jin Tu, we have come without any ill intent."

"We even have a heaven-sent fortune to give you."

"If you were to kill me, not only would you fail to obtain this heaven-sent fortune, but you would instead receive the heaven-sent wrath of His Majesty the Head of State of our Great Qin Empire."

"Even if you flee far into Mobei, our Great Qin will use Hot Air Balloons to track down your trail."

"Your entire tribe will be bathed in blood because of your wrong decision!"

Lu Jia used the calmest attitude to speak the most forceful words.

Cao Jiacheng was trembling as he listened.

Listen to this, just listen to this! What kind of words are these!

If he translated it like that, he wouldn't survive the day.

Under the threat of death, Cao Jiacheng's brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to translate.

In this desperate situation, Cao Jiacheng quickly thought of a strategy.

"Chief Jin Tu."

Cao Jiacheng said, "His Majesty the Head of State of our Great Qin Empire wants to give you many, many benefits."

"You must not miss out on this."

"If you miss it, you will suffer a great loss."

"Oh?"

Jin Tu was quite surprised.

He felt that Cao Jiacheng hadn't translated the essence of Lu Jia's words, but he was curious about what great benefits Lu Jia was bringing them.

He said disdainfully, "Then I would like to hear what kind of great benefits you can bring me."

Seeing that Jin Tu was not angry, Cao Jiacheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he translated what Jin Tu said for Lu Jia.

"Yinshan Pasture."

As soon as Lu Jia uttered these four words, Cao Jiacheng was violently shocked.

Hearing the words 'Yinshan', Jin Tu guessed something more or less.

However, he still looked at Cao Jiacheng with some disbelief.

Cao Jiacheng hurriedly translated for Jin Tu.

"What do you mean?"

Jin Tu was greatly shocked.

He didn't know what Lu Jia meant by mentioning the Yinshan Pasture at this time.

When the other high-ranking members of the Tuan Tribe heard 'Yinshan Pasture', they also perked up.

After losing the eight hundred li of the Hetao Plain, the Yinshan Pasture had become the most important grazing ground for the Xiongnu Kingdom.

As for Mobei, they looked down on it; it was an incredibly desolate place.

There wasn't much grass for grazing in the spring and summer.

When winter arrived, the climate was incredibly cold, and it was common for an entire tribe to freeze to death.

When they thought of going south, they also had the idea of spending the winter in the south.

As the areas where the Xiongnu people could graze shrank, the importance of the Yinshan Pasture became increasingly prominent.

Not all tribes were qualified to go to the Yinshan Pasture for grazing.

The Tuan Tribe did not have the qualification to graze at the Yinshan Pasture.

After Modu learned that the Qin Army was making moves, he did not choose to leave Yinshan.

This was also because if the Yinshan Pasture were taken away by the Great Qin, the living space for their Xiongnu people would become even smaller.

Modu was prepared to fight a defensive war.

Only if he truly could not hold the Yinshan Pasture would he choose to retreat to Mobei.

Lu Jia was not surprised at all to see Jin Tu's reaction was so large.

The Tuan Tribe could not graze at the Yinshan Pasture, and they were incredibly envious of the tribes that could.

The Yinshan Pasture held a fatal attraction for the Tuan Tribe.

This kind of attraction was equivalent to an agricultural civilization seeing a piece of black soil that was extremely suitable for farming.

Lu Jia continued to throw out bargaining chips.

"His Majesty the Head of State of our Great Qin Empire has said that as long as your Tuan Tribe is willing to break away from Modu Chanyu and surrender to His Majesty, every household in your Tuan Tribe can obtain the usage rights to one thousand mu of pasture in the Yinshan Pasture."

"Your Tuan Tribe has a population of two thousand households, right?"

Lu Jia said, "This means that your Tuan Tribe can possess the usage rights to two million mu of pasture in the Yinshan Pasture!"

Converting two million mu, that is 13.334 square kilometers.

This was already equivalent to the size of a county.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Jin Tu was not willing to believe it.

The high-ranking members of the Tuan Tribe were also unwilling to believe it.

"You wouldn't happen to want to use us as the vanguard, would you!"

Just then, a pleasant female voice rang out.

"By the time the people of our Tuan Tribe are all dead, if you go back on your word, our Tuan Tribe won't be able to do anything to you."

"You wouldn't even need to give us any rewards."

A young girl wearing tight-fitting clothes, a felt hat, and holding a horsewhip arrived riding a warhorse.

The girl was in the prime of her eighteen years; her skin was white as jade, and her face was full of heroism.

She had an excellent figure with smooth lines and a pair of long legs.

She wore no makeup, yet her looks were exceptionally refined.

Her words also caused the high-ranking members of the Tuan Tribe to nod repeatedly.

Lu Jia looked at this young girl.

Although she wore loose robes, her chest was clearly more voluptuous than those of Great Qin women.

Lu Jia, having been by Zhao Fusu's side, often heard Zhao Fusu say something about 'big chest, no brains,' but this girl was so cautious; she wouldn't be easy to fool.

Clatter.

After the girl dismounted, she walked in front of Jin Tu.

"Xishan."

Jin Tu looked at his daughter with a face full of doting affection.

Lu Jia said patiently, "Our Paramount Leader does not need your Tuan Tribe to send troops."

"As long as you are willing to surrender to the Paramount Leader, the Paramount Leader is also willing to use grain to exchange for the wool you possess."

"What!"
