Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1221: Chapter 408: The Elderly Li Tiancheng, a Powerful Foundation, Drunkard’s Hidden Intentions, Merger of Three Towns_5

The population of Bashang began migrating at the beginning of this month. Xiang Fuhai might feel unwilling, but despite his reluctance, he had to accept his fate. Just now, he was the first to rise and salute Xia Hong, directly addressing him as the Lord, which proves it.

”Good, with everyone’s assurance, I am at ease. This matter of Hongmen City, rather than a deterrent to the Six Towns, is more of a rectification. It’s not just to show those scoundrels in the Six Towns but also to let our own Great Xia people see clearly what our Great Xia’s strength is after six years. So, what do you think? Did I let you down?”

Disappointment?

How could anyone possibly be disappointed!

Just now, Xia Hong defeated Yang Zhun, summoned twelve Beast Kings, and intimidated the lords of the Six Towns. The scene was deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind.

”Long live the Lord, long live Great Xia!”

Xia Chuan was the first to bow, answering Xia Hong with these eight words.

”Long live the Lord, long live Great Xia!”

Immediately, everyone followed suit, bowing and shouting together.

The exuberant and enthusiastic atmosphere inside the hall even affected the two little ones, Xia Yuyao and Xia Yusheng, in Xia Hong’s embrace.

”Long live Daddy, long live Great Xia!”

They both looked up at their father with eyes full of admiration and reverence. Xia Yuyao couldn’t help but clench her little fist and shout as well.

Unfortunately, she was a bit late.

As the voices inside the hall faded, she only then shouted out.

Consequently, her clear and crisp voice echoed throughout the grand hall.

”Hahahahaha......”

”Hahaha...”

”The eldest is smart, knows when to join in.”

”Hahaha...”

......

The entire hall was immediately filled with laughter, and Xia Hong joined in the laughter. Even Li Xuanling, who was usually the strictest with the two, couldn’t maintain his composure.

”Alright, since the matter of Hongmen is concluded, the Eight Departments can resume operations. All station garrisons and Defenders, and all the departments and military and Hunting Teams, should return to their places. Everything returns to normal. These specific matters, Xia Chuan, you lead the Eight Departments Director to arrange.”

”Following orders!”

Xia Chuan immediately stood out with the Eight Departments Director, bowing to receive the orders.

These specific matters, Xia Hong naturally wouldn’t meddle in anymore. After explaining to Xia Chuan, he turned to look at Murong Chui and Xiahou Zhang on the left, with a smile on his face. He clasped his hands and said, ”For the two lords to lend their aid to Hongmen, I am deeply grateful.”

”Lord Xia Hong, you jest. Xiahou Zhang did nothing, how could he have aided Hongmen, I dare not receive such a grande gesture.”

”With such strength in Great Xia, there’s no need for an old man like me to come aid!”

Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui immediately clasped their hands in return, faces full of helplessness.

”Coming is the best said aid. To be honest, if the two of you hadn’t come, I truly wouldn’t know how to continue coexisting with Jiangxia and Muyin.”

Hearing Xia Hong’s words with hidden implications, Murong Chui and Xiahou Zhang’s hearts immediately sank, with a simultaneous hint of relief emerging in their eyes.

Judging from the situation earlier in the day, if they hadn’t come or stood with the other Six Towns, the outcome would probably not have been favorable.

”I understand both of you wish to revitalize Muyin and Jiangxia, but Muyin is too close to the Northern Three Towns, with resource areas often invaded; Jiangxia was severely weakened after the battle at Dajue Temple and hasn’t yet recovered, their ability to acquire resources is limited. I have a way that can help solve these issues for the two towns, would you care to hear it?”

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui both inadvertently revealed a hint of wariness, but after contemplating for a moment, they nodded and clasped their hands towards Xia Hong, ”We are willing to hear more!”

”Three towns merge, resources shared, henceforth your people of the two towns can hunt in all areas within the Great Xia Territory, can purchase or exchange supplies freely at any Camp Supply Department or even the Camp Supply Headquarters within Great Xia, and may even join our Great Xia’s Hunting Team.

Of course, correspondingly, our Camp’s Hunting Team also enjoys the same rights, and the resource areas of Muyin and Jiangxia are also open to our Great Xia personnel simultaneously...”

”How can this be possible!”

”Lord Xia Hong...”

”The two of you, stay calm and listen to me finish.”

Before Xia Hong could finish his words, Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui responded with agitation. Seeing their faces full of resistance, Xia Hong showed no surprise.

With the current strength of Muyin and Jiangxia, instead of saying it’s a contribution of resource areas, it’s more like their resource areas are being opened unilaterally to Great Xia, as their current strength is too busy handling their own resource areas, let alone thinking about coming into the Great Xia Territory for hunting and gathering.

”I know the situation is difficult for your two towns, so I wouldn’t bully you like this. Therefore, the condition for shared resource areas is that whenever Great Xia personnel hunt and gather there, they must turn over ten percent of their income to your two towns. How about it?”

Upon hearing this sentence, Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui’s expressions immediately turned intrigued.

”Ten percent is a bit low, Lord Xia Hong, our Muyin’s hunting areas have been compressed too much by Wuchuan, the situation is indeed very difficult.”

”Indeed, Lord Xia Hong, could it be increased slightly, you know the situation in Jiangxia, currently, the entire camp’s Cold Resistance level is barely two thousand, and there are hardly any Hunting Teams left...”

Knowing how to bargain is a good sign!

”Alright, since the two of you are interested, Xia Chuan and Qiu Peng will handle the discussions with you!”

Xia Hong gave Xiahou Zhang and Murong Chui no chance to refuse, and after speaking, he stood up with the two children in his arms. Li Xuanling beside him immediately stood up with him.

”Alright then, I have something to attend to, you continue with your discussions.”

Everyone didn’t expect Xia Hong to leave so soon, and they immediately bowed to salute, ”Farewell to the Lord, farewell to the Lady, farewell to the two Princes!”
