"This is a sacred wood core obtained from a branch of the Ran family in Yanyang County. If you are lucky enough to survive, you can breed a group of feathers. However, I am in a hurry to buy this one. The quality is not high, it belongs to the low-level Low-grade, I'm afraid it will give birth to a few low-grade gray feathers at most." Nietiao introduced the origin of this holy wood core, and after finishing speaking, he remembered that the feather clan in front of him was also the one he had just dismissed. Inferior Hui Yu couldn't help but shut up resentfully.

Wu Jiu didn't bother with his language problems, looked around the wooden ball spinning in mid-air, and said, "Since they are all used to breed the feather clan, is there any difference between the holy wood core of this side branch and that of the first branch?"

"That's a huge difference," said Nie cunningly, "The cores of these other branches are weak in vitality, most of them are low-grade and low-grade, and the middle-grade is rare. It is not suitable to survive if taken out, but it survives by luck. After giving birth to one or two broods of the Yu family, they will directly wither and die, which can only be regarded as consumables, and the core from the main vein is different, not to mention the tenacious vitality, and the seal inscriptions specially given by the county government, which is Those of the lowest grade are middle-grade anyway, and there are even top-grade ones. Once they survive, they can be rooted and reproduced endlessly. The main veins of the holy wood in each county can only conceive a few in decades. Only the most loyal servants and retainers are allowed to own one piece, and the core of this kind of offshoot can only be obtained in three to five years. If it is not too high, it will be directly turned into a prop by the clan to make money. There are special merchants who buy and breed them. If they can survive, they will earn money. It’s not impossible to become a big merchant with a big pen,” said Wu Jiu, who glanced at the thoughtful Wu Jiu before continuing: “Otherwise, what do you think those gray feathers used by miscellaneous bandits to reproduce? Where did it come from? Except for a few that were snatched from other tribes, I am afraid that not all of them were traded from such merchants. There are also those feather slaves raised by the rich and wealthy, and the best actors of merchants. Most of them came from these merchants. Therefore, merchants had better wait for the price to sell, and those with better appearance or slightly higher grades will be sold to these people at a high price."

"According to what you say, if there is a Yu clan who steals the holy wood core of the first branch, it will be bred for a long time for a long-term business?" Wu Jiu asked with raised eyebrows.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." After hearing the whole story of the demise of the dog tribe from Wu Jiu, Nie Qiao couldn't help but think about it at the moment: "These tribes that have become servants mostly have some background, not to mention anything else. The county lord who is far away in the county capital is their natural backing. Ordinary small merchants just want to make money and don't want to cause trouble. It's not something they can tell, and it's very unusual for this family to have been unchecked and questioned for so long after the accident."

Nie Qiao's words expressed Wu Jiu's hidden worries, and at this moment he couldn't help but say in a concentrated voice: "I'm afraid that the problem is not with the tribe itself, but with the higher-ups." He said, looking at Nie Qiao, "You don't care about this Muyun. Does the county understand? Is all the government affairs of Muyun County decided by the county monarch alone, or is there someone else to distribute the power? I see things are really weird, could it be factional conflicts that made this dog tribe become cannon fodder. "

Although Nie Qiao didn't understand what the cannon fodder in Wu Jiu's mouth was, he still understood what he meant and couldn't help nodding his head and said, "My lord's question is on point, and I thought of something, where I am. This Shuojin tribe has been doing business in Muyun for a long time, and they know a thing or two about the affairs of that county capital. If Muyun County is said to be a hundred years ago, it is naturally the Yuzu County Lord who is in power. , However, in recent years, this has not happened, and not only in Muyun County, but also in other counties."

"Why is this happening?" Wu Jiu asked in surprise.

Nie Qiao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but move closer to Wu Jiu, and then said, "Does your lord know the Xuan family of Zhongdu?"

"But the Xuan family who became the emperor's husband?" Wu Jiu vaguely remembered the gossip she heard from Bauhinia in the trial ground, and she couldn't help asking at this moment.

"Your Excellency is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable," Nie Qiao glanced at Wu Jiu in surprise, with some real respect in his eyes. He didn't know Wu Jiu's adventure in the trial place. In his opinion, Wu Jiu It was inconceivable that this just-born Yuandi Huiyu could know the news of Zhongdu. At that moment, Wu Jiu was in his heart, and he felt a little strange that he didn't go out to know the world's affairs.

Wu Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, and even ignored his compliment, and said directly: "Don't change the subject, tell me what you know first."

Nie Qiao didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly continued: "Since the Xuan family became the emperor's husband, he has been loved by the emperor, and he has been given more and more titles. Now that he has reached the position of Taizai, the Xuan family is not only a close minister of the Yu Emperor, but also has the status of the emperor's husband. , It can be said that the power is so powerful that even the entire Xuan clan is also honored. It is not a secret that the emperor's descendant was born with a fetus. Speaking of it, it is not a secret that the emperor's son is not fertile, but at any rate, it can be passed on smoothly from generation to generation. Who knows that after taking power today, the main holy tree of the central capital has not been able to conceive a baby for many years. The imperial descendant, even if he was lucky enough to get a colorful feather fetal fruit in recent years, it is also congenitally deficient, on the contrary, he has a lot of children with the Xuan family today..."

"What does this have to do with the authority of the princes and counties?" Wu Jiu interrupted Nie Qiao's long speech. He listened patiently for a long time, but when he didn't hear what he wanted, he became a little impatient.

Hearing the sound, the cunning paused, and leaned closer to Wu Jiu again, this time, it almost reached Wu Jiu's ear, and then said: "In the past few years before the new emperor came out, the Xuan family took advantage of the power to ask everyone The county has sent many lower-level officials with real power. They are backed by the Xuan family, and some of them are associated with some old clans in the county. One year, the Xuan family even appointed a member of the Xuan family as the county husband to the next county lord of Heishui County. Speaking of marrying the county lord, this is something that no Yuhuang has ever done before. "The last sigh made Wu Jiu raise his eyebrows slightly, he thought for a while, and then thought of a deeper key point: "Then Xuan family wants to take the position of Emperor Yu?"

"Your Excellency, be careful!" Nie Qiao hurriedly interrupted Wu Jiu's words, and looked around nervously, as if afraid that the wall might have ears.

Although Wu Jiu felt that he was a little too cautious, she didn't bring up this troublesome talk any more. If according to what Nie Qiao said, the destruction of the dog-born clan might be more deeply involved with some high-ranking people. I don't even want to stay in Muyun County any longer, I just want to get out of the county as soon as possible, so as not to accidentally become that fish in the pond that gets hurt.

He took the holy wood core that was presented by the cunning, and sent him: "I have nothing to ask, you can go now, the fifty bandit prisoners at the end of the team will be given to you, go and get acquainted with them , They have gone through many battles, and they are considered brave, and they can be your help."

"Are you going to send them all?" Nie Qiao suddenly heard this, and couldn't get back to his senses.

Wu Jiu nodded and said: "These people have flawed identities and have a disgraceful past. It is impossible for me to include them in the tribe, so I can only take advantage of you. They cannot be considered as members of the tribe. You can use whatever means you have. Make it out, just let them obey."

"Thank you, my lord." Nie Qiao thanked him sincerely. You must know that the 50 people are all soul warriors of high rank, even if they can't compare with the original Lang's war slaves, they are also a tyrannical force. With them, he can be regarded as having the power to establish himself in this group. This is Wu Jiu's reward for his dedication, and it is indeed what he wants, so he can't help but be tempted.

Seeing that Nie Qiao got out of the carriage, Wu Jiu once again cast her eyes on the holy wood core in her hand. Although in Nie Qiao's mouth, this is only a consumable that can only be used once or twice, Wu Jiu's situation is different from others He doesn't need this core to act as a seed to sprout and grow, because, in the black space, he has already bred a holy tree without a core!And that holy tree is a section taken from the named holy tree of the dog tribe. Now, can these two parts be combined together?This is what Wu Jiu is most curious about offline. Of course, even if this combination is not established, Wu Jiu can directly use the core in his hand to cultivate. I believe that the black soil and pink spring in the space can make this core that is not much The vitality is fully nourished.

Wu Jiu thought of this, turned his mind, and directly entered the space. Compared with ten months ago, the black space has changed a lot. The originally flat black land around Fenquan has been densely planted All kinds of crops are planted, that's the case, Wu Jiu thinks it's not enough, but it's a pity that this space can't be expanded, and the output is a fixed number, so it can't continue to grow. However, it's not that Wu Jiu doesn't have other harvests. The seeds collected everywhere, after several generations of sowing, are continuously nourished by the black soil and spiritual springs, and their own quality has been improved. Not only is the yield higher than the original seeds outside the space, but the fruit particles produced are also larger and fuller. , and even richer nutrition, this can be seen from the mental outlook of the tribe members who ate the food. As for whether there are other hidden physical improvements, it will take a longer period of observation to know .

Now, although Wu Jiu can't further increase the output of space products, she has indeed accumulated enough good seeds, and only waits for a new living area to start planting.

After checking these accumulations, Wu Jiu turned into a bird shape and flew into the center of the space, surrounded by countless plants, at the pink spiritual spring, where the holy wood was planted. I wonder if it is limited by the limited space around it? Growth, this sacred tree without a core has grown extremely slowly since it came to life, and even at this moment, it is only slightly taller than the human-shaped Wu Jiu.The same is true for Qingzhuo Liangxi located at the opposite corner, which is completely pocket-sized.

Wu Jiu took out the core of the holy wood in his hand, and slowly approached the holy wood in front of him. The core slowly floated up and floated towards the holy wood. In the hollow part, the core slid in extremely quickly, and it actually filled the gap perfectly. Immediately afterwards, on the sacred wood, a deep engraving with countless small inscriptions appeared on the trunk. bottom.

Wu Jiu looked at all this with a frown. He felt it carefully, and only felt that a secret connection had been established between him and the holy tree. It seemed that because of the core, this originally ignorant holy tree Wood, with something called "mind", this magical connection is difficult to describe, but Wu Jiu can be sure that the holy wood in front of him is completely different from the one-time consumables mentioned by Nie Qiao. It has more Strong and long vitality!
