"I know partially, but I guess...... Just now, you seem to be controlled by the tattoos on your body, I can believe that this is not your intention, but ...... Your influence on me now is so great. Wen Ranran's long sword pointed at the other party, and there was a trace of unbearability in her eyes.

Sang Zhi sat slumped on the ground and looked at Wen Ranran.

"You don't want to know...... What exactly is in me, and what is their purpose? ”

Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows, "Give me a reason to believe?" ”

Sang Zhi gritted his teeth, and then said solemnly, "I swear by my Xuan Snake tribe!" If I had half of my murderous intent towards you before, I would have been devoured by ten thousand ants, and I would not have died! ”

When he said this, Sang Zhi's eyebrows were flickering with golden light.

Wen Ranran looked at the golden light and slightly understood that the people of the grassland regarded the totems and oaths of their tribes as extremely important, so when they swore an oath to the tribe, they should have some power of faith.

"Okay, I'll believe you for now!" Wen Ranran withdrew her sword, and then looked at Sang Zhi again.

"I ...... Let me tell you this, Ji Xuyuan and I are in a state of learning from each other, and there is a deal between us! Sang Zhi tilted his head and said awkwardly.

Learning from each other? Trade?

"In other words, you learned his painting skills, and you learned it, and you gave him your strange method of killing people with painting?"

Sang Zhi nodded.

"As a saintess of the Xuan Snake Tribe, I spend three months here almost every winter, in fact, what we learn is not only to kill people with paintings, this is only the first step."

"And what else are you studying?"

Sang Zhi stuck out his tongue, "I don't know, according to legend, the sacred object that the Xuan Snake clan believes in is a magic pen, it is said that as long as the magic pen is in hand, all the things on the painting can come true!" ”

All come true? If only there were such good things in this world!

Wen Ranran couldn't help pouting, but looking at Sang Zhi's serious eyes, it was not easy to puncture the other party's superstition.

"You don't know, our Xuan Snake tribe is extremely rare, not to mention, to the east of Pingzhou, it is the most bitter cold place all year round, and there are countless people who freeze every year, and how many people are frozen to death like that! When it's cold, the snow can go straight to the top of people's heads! ”

"In the early years, when there was still trade, you Central Plains people would also buy and sell some strange things, firewood, horses, grain...... Later, the grain trade was cut off, and how many people froze and starved to death...... The snake and the squirrel are the poorest tribes! ”

Sang Zhi's voice carried a hint of dullness and grievance.

Wen Ranran didn't know what to say.

A people, in the midst of daily hunger and cold, wants nothing, and finally chooses to believe in superstition......

Although she couldn't fully understand it, Wen Ranran knew that if the snow fell so heavily every winter, basically even animals would not appear, and countless clansmen would starve to death in it.

No wonder......

Wen Ranran pursed her lips and put away her long sword.

"I promise you that in less than three years, the Rongguo will open up for trade, and when the time comes, your life will be better!"

Sang Zhi's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Hmm...... It should be, it's a big deal, let my husband be the master? ”

"Then as a thank you, I won't tell that city lord your identity!"

"That's the best, thanks!"

Wen Ranran also said more to her, after all, it doesn't matter whether the other party says it or not.

Because of yesterday's lobbying by one party, the current Ji Tong has agreed to cooperate with several parties to open the gate of Youzhou City and let them garrison.

Of course, the "Wen Ranran" and "Tao Yuanyuan", who are now sitting in the Youzhou army, were formed by Feng Qi and the eastward leaning who had just arrived from Lingnan.

I don't know if anything will happen tomorrow...... Wen Ranran sighed and looked at the bright moon by the window.
