Chapter 335: Travelling alone for a thousand miles
Translator: 549690339
“Those who block me will be killed! I got it. ”
Lu Chen had already made his decision.
Red butterfly Ji, who had been following Lu Chen for a long time, immediately understood what he was doing when she saw his expression. She immediately said, ” do you need me to gather the sons of the leaders of the surrounding villages? if we only transfer a portion of the people, the rest should be able to hold on for a few days. Your Highness can ride the sky Whale with the sons of the leaders back to the Royal Court, and then escort the clansmen back with them.
It was normal and Lu Chen nodded in agreement.
yes, each village will pick a son of the leader. Tomorrow morning, you will ride the sky Whale and return to the Royal Court with them. Prepare everything there.
Red butterfly Ji quickly nodded in agreement but soon, she sensed something else.
“Lord husband, aren’t you coming back with us?”
“Of course I will return to the Royal Court.”
Then, Lu Chen picked up the Dragon hunting sword and looked out of the village.
At this time, the sun was down, and there was no trace of Light in the Wilderness outside the village. The dark night was like an abyss, exuding fear and devouring everything.
The silence didn’t stop Lu Chen.
“The strong will clear the way!”
“Hahahaha!”
“I will return to the Royal Court. When I reach there, I will open up a safe path.”
Lu Chen was prepared to travel a thousand miles back to the Royal Court and open up a path for the Chen tribe and the Royal Court on the way back.
Such a thought shocked red butterfly Ji.
“Lord husband, we don’t have to do this. We can walk with the others.”
this is an order. Gather the others here and return with them tomorrow. Then, wait for me in the palace.
Looking at Lu Chen’s determined eyes, red butterfly Ji could only stop her words.
But she didn’t give up. She looked to the side.
Over there, Lu Chen’s clansmen and wuzu had already gathered. Red butterfly Ji was using her eyes to signal for Lu Chen’s clansmen to persuade him.
Wei Song had indeed stepped forward. However, before he could say anything, a terrifying pressure descended. As the pressure descended, Wei song’s mind went blank and he was completely stunned.
Fortunately, the pressure came and went quickly. After a flash, the pressure disappeared completely.
However, the pressure that flashed past also made Wei Song understand the difference between the two of them. He couldn’t bring himself to say that he wanted to fight alongside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, consoled him.
“Don’t be discouraged, I’m just leaving first.”
After that, Lu Chen looked at the others and turned around, heading toward the dark night without hesitation.
“When I open up a safe path to the palace and return here, I hope that fewer of my people will die.”
yes, I have a premonition. It seems that the road is quite dangerous!
but isn’t that what I want, evil? come on, hunter and prey can be summoned at any time!
It was said that men don’t shed tears easily, and the barbarians didn’t advocate tears.
But at this moment, looking at Lu Chen’s fearless back, Wei song’s tears couldn’t stop flowing.
“Bastard, it’s all my fault for being too weak!”
Wei Song wasn’t the only one who was crying. All the barbarians here knew that Lu Chen went to the wilderness alone to open up a safe path for them.
This way of doing things was to take on an entire city on their own. This way of doing things made them, who were being protected, a little helpless.
At this moment, the crying red butterfly Ji finally understood why the soldiers who followed Lu Chen to the Deputy town were all like crazy fans.
Looking at the crying warrior, red butterfly Ji also understood that no matter who they were up against, as long as they dared to insult Lu Chen, they would fight them.
This included her, red butterfly Ji.
Under Lu Chen’s orders, red butterfly Ji and the others could only stay on guard.
As the night receded and the sun rose high in the sky, the six villages each selected a son of a chief and gathered in the first Chen tribe that Lu Chen established.
After learning about Lu Chen’s actions, the sons of the leaders were filled with worry. Some of them even rushed into the wilderness to look for Lu Chen.
Luckily, after a night, red butterfly Ji had already recovered some of her rationality. She directly suppressed the recklessness of the leader’s sons.
you’ll only cause trouble for my husband if you go there. Come back to the palace with me and have a good rest. When you return, there will be places where you need to help.
However, red butterfly Ji, who was busy doing everything while talking to the Barbarian Warriors, would look into the distance from time to time with worry in her eyes.
There were no accidents on the return trip on the sky Whale. They returned to the palace in one day.
There were a lot of people in the Royal Court who were paying attention to Lu Chen. Soon, all kinds of detection methods were used on the Warriors.
The barbarians wouldn’t keep his progress a secret and red butterfly Ji didn’t stop him either. What she wanted was for Lu Chen’s reputation to spread and for the Royal Court to pay more attention to Lu Chen.
Soon, a large number of people found out that Lu Chen had built six villages in four days.
Other than that, they also found out that Lu Chen was traveling alone in the wilderness to open up a path of life for his people.
Among them, Yunzhou’s merchants were the most active in seeking information.
As merchants, if they wanted to succeed, they had to get the news in advance.
Especially those who were planning to invest in Lu Chen. They were the most concerned about this. After all, whether Lu Chen’s expansion would go smoothly or not would determine whether their investment would benefit or not.
The heavenly cloud restaurant was a restaurant opened by the people of the cloud state in the Royal Court. At this moment, a large number of cloud state merchants were gathered in a private room.
These were all small merchants who were anxiously waiting for the return of the people who had gone to Scout for information.
The merchants didn’t have to wait for long. Soon, the subordinates who had gone to Scout for information returned.
However, the person who returned had a dazed expression on his face.
“What’s going on with the 13th Prince? Judging from his warrior’s appearance, he couldn’t have encountered any obstacles, right?”
“Is the trouble big or not? do you need our help?”
These anxious merchants were the ones who had supported Lu Chen before he expanded the village.
It was also because of their support that Lu Chen, who was poor and had to sacrifice the rare items he hunted to the system, was able to form a team of hundreds of people to explore.
In other words, Lu Chen’s food, drink, weapons, and armor were all provided by the merchants in advance.
On the other hand, it would seem stupid to give them support before the village was built. If Lu Chen failed, they would probably lose everything.
However, fortune comes from danger. If they failed, they would lose everything. If Lu Chen won, they would gain a lot more.
Especially when Lu Chen chose to build a commercial town in the wolf garden. According to the contract, the Chen tribe would get some shops based on the amount of resources they paid.
This way, these small traveling merchants would no longer have to struggle in the wilderness and could rely on shops to trade.
It was the dream of countless small merchants to own a shop in a commercial town.
But now, looking at the stunned faces of the returning spies, many merchants felt their hearts almost jump out of their chests.
They seemed to have a premonition of their failure.
However, what the Scout said next made everyone stop in their tracks.
“Milords, I heard from the Warriors that His Highness has finished building his tribe and erected his totem. He is returning to bring his tribesmen there.”
As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent.
These people who invested in Lu Chen in advance had all thought of the optimistic scenario.
However, even the most optimistic people didn’t expect that Lu Chen would be able to build his own tribe in just a few days.
In fact, because the information was so good, the merchants were shocked.
it’s already built. It’s so fast.
The subordinate’s words caused the entire place to fall silent for a moment.
After that, the spies of the merchants kept returning with the same information.
No matter how unbelievable the merchants were, they knew that the Prince they had high hopes for had really succeeded.
This dream-like success caused the entire place to burst into cheers.
“I knew it. I knew that His Highness would succeed.”
old Li, I was the one who asked you to invest. I was right. If we follow His Highness, we will not fail.
Surprise, a real surprise hit these merchants ‘heads. They already had a premonition that they were going to get their own shops.
However, they thought that was the end. Then, even more shocking words came from the spies.
“I’ve heard that Prince Chen didn’t choose to return on the sky Whale. Instead, after the village was built, he went into the wilderness alone to open up a safe path for the barbarians.”
“One person to clear the path! How is this possible?”
If the villages were like nails that nailed the tentacles of human civilization to the vast and barren land, then the roads were lines, the lines of life that connected all the villages.
Villages without communication were destined to be short-lived. Only when a large number of villages were connected by roads could humans prosper.
At the same time, the safe roads also allowed the merchants to buy and sell things for profit.
However, it was still fine in the past, but the current path was getting more and more difficult to walk.
The unkillable evils made it harder and harder for humans to communicate.
However, humans had to communicate. In such a situation, a safe path was even more important.
Every path opened up brought with it endless benefits.
Of course, it was not easy to open up a road, and it required manpower to guard and clean up the place. Therefore, it was impossible for anyone to do business on that road without paying a price.
Even the twenty-first century’s highways were charged. In this world, the fees were even higher for roads paved by lives.
But these merchants were willing to do so, because the benefits they gained from doing business on the road were more than what they paid.
At the same time, the path opened by the strong was more important for safety.
Although, for the sake of 200% profit, some people would even do the business of beheading, but wasn’t it better to be safe while making huge profits at the same time?
But now, Lu Chen was on his own. Even though he opened up the path for the barbarians, it was still easier for the small merchants to travel as long as the barbarians were able to travel through it.
By relying on the main road to extend to other places, merchants could gain countless benefits.
If he could convince His Highness to maintain this path, it would be a path of money.
However, in this world, there were many merchants but few safe roads.
It could be imagined that not everyone could walk on that path.
Even if they could travel all the roads, according to their friendship and the amount of investment in the past, the standard of the road fees would be different.
It was foreseeable that the Chen tribe, which was already on the main road, would become an important commercial town with a safe road.
At the thought of this, the merchants were pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, they were more convinced.
“Let’s go to His Highness” residence. We need to increase our investment.”
When the merchants heard the news, they didn’t even bother to eat and rushed to Lu Chen’s mansion as fast as they could.
However, when they arrived, they found that the place was already surrounded by people. Countless businessmen who had heard the news were all investing more.
It was foreseeable that with so many merchants ‘support, Lu Chen’s people wouldn’t be lacking in food.
While the small merchants were trying their best to send money to Lu Chen’s mansion, the big merchant Association had already stocked up on a large amount of resources. They were ready to send the resources to Lu Chen when he arrived so that he could bring them back to his tribe.
If the small-time merchant still relied on his guesses …
Those big merchants had already used special methods to confirm that what the Barbarian Warriors said was true.
Because of this, while they were shocked, they found red butterfly Ji early on and made the prices of the resources cheaper. They even gave some for free.
Of course, there was a price to pay for this. They wanted more shops in the town and promised that they would be able to walk freely on Lu Chen’s wide road.
Red butterfly Ji didn’t reject this.
If he was still a merchant, red butterfly Ji would stop him and want to take all the profits from the road.
But now, red butterfly Ji had already advanced from a merchant to lady Xuanji. Even if a Lord didn’t do business, he could still rely on other means to obtain a large amount of benefits.
For example, taxes, road taxes, and merchant taxes. In other words, as long as the merchants passed by the Chen tribe, Lu Chen would be able to earn some profits.
This benefit also made red butterfly Ji sigh.”The real money-making is the Lord!”
Of course, the tax collection was only a plan for the future. The poor Chen tribe also needed the investment of those people.
although it is dangerous to be in the open, the gifts from the merchants are enough to arm 1000 soldiers with this incident and the shock brought by the rapid opening of the village.
“With more subordinates, Lord husband will be safer.”
Lu Chen sent red butterfly Ji to the Royal Court to prepare the manpower and supplies, and she did a much better job than Lu Chen expected.
