Chapter 748: Hu Yinyin
Chapter 748: Hu Yinyin
September 25, 2017
After examining the items obtained from the Black Demon General, Lu Hai Kong hesitated for a moment. Instead of opening the treasure chest, he was concerned about the logistics of managing a large amount of supplies. Moreover, he had just dealt with the ten little wolf cubs, and an unexpected visitor had arrived.
In the tent on the foreign grassland, Lu Hai Kong once again encountered Hu Yinyin. The man from the Xianbei tribe, who had a strong Han cultural influence, appeared slightly disheveled, although it was evident that he had tidied himself up.
Lu Hai Kong wasn't particularly concerned about Hu Yinyin's disheveled appearance. Instead, he was more interested in the reason for his visit.
The Xianbei man, who had left a strong impression on Lu Hai Kong since their first meeting years ago, was known for his exceptional abilities. He had managed to lead a relatively weak tribe in a hostile environment, surrounded by ancient enemies, and had gained significant respect from the Uxian Allied Forces.
Under the subtle influence of Xi Zhi Cai's teachings over the years, Lu Hai Kong couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Hu Yinyin's talent, despite his Xianbei heritage. Talented individuals were hard to come by these days.
What surprised Lu Hai Kong the most was Hu Yinyin's immediate reaction upon seeing him. Hu Yinyin knelt on one knee and bowed his head, declaring, "Hu Yinyin pays his respects to Lord Lu!"
Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed at this heavy display of respect. He scrutinized Hu Yinyin with a cold, piercing gaze.
Years of military experience had made Lu Hai Kong disdainful of those who lacked backbone. Hu Yinyin's gesture significantly diminished Lu Hai Kong's initial positive impression of him. Therefore, as he looked at Hu Yinyin kneeling before him, Lu Hai Kong showed no intention of letting him rise or offering any assistance.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong had planned to entrust the role of a proxy to the Fu Clan. After all, although they were of the Xiongnu tribe, they had been under Lu Hai Kong's command for years, ensuring their unwavering loyalty. They would have been the perfect choice for this role.
However, the Fu Clan also had a limitation – their small size. Despite two years of development, the clan currently numbered no more than 30,000 members. Even if they were to include all eight Xiongnu tribes, the total would barely exceed several tens of thousands.
In the tens of thousands, this number seems considerable, but compared to the vast expanse of grassland, almost half the size of Bingzhou, it is indeed too few. You must know that Bingzhou alone has a population of tens of millions; such a small group could never manage this vast grassland.
At this moment, Hu Yinyin expressed his desire to pledge loyalty to Lu HaiKong, clearly seeing the potential in this situation.
As expected, Hu Yinyin then stated that he could help Lu HaiKong gather the scattered Uxian tribes, assisting him in managing this grassland.
This suggestion was actually quite beneficial for Lu HaiKong.
If Hu Yinyin could help Lu HaiKong gather the scattered Uxian tribes, it would save Lu HaiKong a lot of trouble.
Whether Hu Yinyin's allegiance was sincere or had ulterior motives, Lu HaiKong didn't really mind. He didn't believe Hu Yinyin could cause much trouble under his watch.
Moreover, Lu HaiKong was also aware of the situation of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, or Hu Yinyin's group, in Bingzhou.
Although they had scattered due to the Black Demon Cavalry, as long as Lu HaiKong was willing to provide them with a place to survive, they would eventually return. They had nowhere else to go.
Heading deep into the grassland, towards Liangzhou or Youzhou, they would find that those places already had owners, and each one was more powerful than the last. The Uxian tribes, even at their peak, couldn't compete with them, let alone now.
In the 1619 book, the 189 version, they couldn't find a place to settle down in those three directions.
Under these circumstances, if Lu HaiKong didn't offer them a way out, they would be truly lost. The larger tribes would break into smaller ones, barely surviving on the grasslands outside Bingzhou.
Understanding their situation, Lu HaiKong readily accepted Hu Yinyin's allegiance. Not only that, but Lu HaiKong immediately entrusted Hu Yinyin with a significant responsibility—to gather all the treasures left behind by the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes that they couldn't take with them.
Although Lu HaiKong was willing to accept Hu Yinyin's allegiance, he didn't plan to hand over the management of the grassland to him right away. Eventually, Lu HaiKong would put the Uxian tribes, or Hu Yinyin, on a tight leash.
But this matter wasn't urgent; at least, they needed to wait until Hu Yinyin gathered the Uxian tribes again.
Regarding Hu Yinyin, Lu HaiKong still couldn't see through him. At least for now, he wasn't sure if Hu Yinyin was biding his time or genuinely loyal. But it didn't matter; once he came over, he wouldn't be able to do as he pleased.
After meeting with Hu Yinyin and arranging matters with Xun Yu and Wang Ti, Lu HaiKong immediately activated the Telecommunication Talisman and returned to Beifeng City.
Lu HaiKong needed to discuss some grassland affairs and the selection of the foreign city with Xi Zhi Cai. Additionally, if possible, Lu HaiKong wanted to take Li Xiong with him.
Lu HaiKong planned to leave Li Xiong in the grassland for a while. With Li Xiong's familiarity with the grassland, he could play a significant role in its integration. However, whether Lu HaiKong could take Li Xiong away depended on Wang Jun's decision, as they had been busy trying to control Bingzhou.
But when Lu HaiKong returned, the first thing he did wasn't to seek Xi Zhi Cai's advice; instead, he found an arena in Beifeng to open the treasure chests he had obtained during this time.
In the final battle against the Demonic Weapon, Lu HaiKong obtained two Mythic Chests, and in his own battle of 60,000 against 600,000, he gained two Legendary Chests. On the other hand, Wang Ti, for some reason, only obtained one Legendary Chest after defeating 300,000 troops, perhaps because Lu HaiKong didn't personally participate.
This grassland campaign, with a combined force of over a million, excluding the Demonic Weapon's appearance, resulted in Lu HaiKong acquiring only three Legendary Chests.
This not only proved that the game's reward system was buggy but also indicated the world's rules favoring the Chinese mainland. It seemed that the system didn't encourage lone players to venture beyond the Han Dynasty.
Lu HaiKong didn't mind this much. With two Mythic Chests and seven Legendary Chests, he eagerly anticipated the rewards from this expedition.
There were six Legendary Chests because Lu HaiKong obtained one each when Pan Feng and Zhao Er broke through Strength 90, and another two when he subdued Yan Liang and Xun Yu. These chests, which Lu HaiKong had not opened before, were now all opened at once...
