“This is the foreign business team I was telling you about, look, they came with a dozen of them, and if the cooperation is successful, we won’t have to worry about going out and not having anyone to buy what we have in Waj.”
He spoke to this father in a tone that was quite gentle.
But that chief ……
Ruo Ruo watched carefully, still still careful to find a trace of impatience and rejection on this old chief’s face.
Ruo Ruo: “……”
“Miss Huo, are these two in front the chiefs here?”
“Yes, the younger one, is the young prince, and he is still the main one in charge of this cooperation.”
Ruo Ruo came back to her senses and hurriedly explained to the foreign businessman.
When the foreign businessmen heard this, they all instantly showed their expressions of understanding again, and immediately, they stood in this ancient hall, waiting for these two masters to make their arrangements.
The young man: “Ah Lan, go and take them to their seats, and instruct the kitchen that the food can be served and entertained first.”
A clear, cold voice rang out in the great hall, and soon a beautiful young girl dressed in blue clay cloth but covered in all kinds of dazzling silver ornaments came out.
“Yes, Sixteenth Lang!”
The young girl lowered her head and gave a respectful salute.
Quickly, she turned and went down.
The foreign merchants saw and their eyes followed in another burst.
Especially when they saw all those sterling silver ornaments on her, all unseen outside, tinkling all the way past, beautiful as if they were elves.
Their eyes even glazed over.
Foreigner A: “This is nice, I’m going to order this later.”
Foreigner B: “Me too me too, it looks good.”
Foreign businessman C: “Nice clothes too, look at that fabric she has, what material is that dyed out of? The colour is so right.”
“……”
They all chattered there.
The chiefs sitting up there saw it, including the heads of this temple who had been specially called to entertain them today as well, and there was an instant sulk on their faces.
They thought that these people had taken a fancy to Ah Lan.
“Chief, look, I told you, this is no good, staring at our women as soon as they arrive.”
“No, that leering look ……”
“Then what are we waiting for? Drive them out!”
Some people were even starting to get angry.
The chief was about to get angry even after seeing this goading, but it was the teenager sitting next to him, but a thick sneer crossed his thin, pale lips after a cold snort was heard between his nostrils.
“Did you understand what they were saying?”
“……”
“The world outside is so prosperous, you think a mere maid can enter their eyes? They’re talking about the silver jewellery on Ah Lan, and the clothes, and can’t wait to order them already.”
The teenager spoke sarcastically and not without a sharp edge.
At those words, the chiefs instantly looked as if they had been slapped in the face, and their whole faces turned red.
The chief, too, had a sarcastic expression on his face.
Ruoruo had been standing below watching them.
She likewise couldn’t understand what they were saying, but she had seen the expressions on those people’s faces just now and was, therefore, worried.
Until, she saw the teenager speak ……
“Well, gentlemen, you have come a long way, so let’s take a short rest, and when we have eaten and drunk enough, I will show you the things of our tribe, shall we?”
The head of the inner court and Blue came in again.
Seeing that everyone was still sitting there, they hurriedly arranged for everyone to take their places.
Ruo Ruo followed everyone else.
However, by the time she was about to sit ……
“Miss Huo, the seats over here are yours, these foreign businessmen are from outside, our chief attaches more importance to them, and there might be a bit more communication at the banquet, so the seats in front, they are all arranged for them.”
Ah Lan suddenly called out to her, pointing to the last seat in this banquet.
Ruoruo looked at it.
She didn’t really care much about this, her purpose was to bring these foreign businessmen to work together, and she was worried about the language communication problem before.
But now there was a head of the inner court who could speak the language of the outside world.
Then she didn’t have to worry about it.
Ruo Ruo went to sit in that seat with alacrity, but she did not see that the moment she crossed her legs and did so, two beams of eyes immediately chilled in the king’s chair in this great hall.
A gloomy one.
Very ominous.
Ruo Ruo began to eat the original food here, not caring about the laughter between the foreign businessmen and the chiefs.
Until, suddenly, a plate of bloody raw meat was served at the banquet.
“Everyone, this is a speciality of our Waj, the raw meat of the wild deer from the Blackwater River. The Blackwater River is a rare mineral water river in the world, which is rich in rare metals, giving the whole river an inky colour, hence its name, and this wild deer, which grew up drinking that water, has very tasty and nutritious meat, so you can try it. ”
Seeing that this signature dish of the tribe was all coming up, the head of the inner court hastened to explain.
This was indeed a good dish.
In other times, even the royal court would not eat it often.
Because of this kind of wild deer, there were very few of them now.
When the foreign merchants heard this, their eyes glowed again, and immediately, they didn’t care about the blood or not, they started eating it.
“It’s really good!”
“Yes, it’s absolutely delicious!”
“……”
While all sorts of praises were coming out, no one noticed that the young girl sitting at the end of the table was already pale and her forehead was staring at the plate of blood-drenched meat.
A cold sweat had broken out on her forehead.
She couldn’t look at something so bloody, not even a little.
