#1112 - Chapter 1112 Cheng Bang Drinks for the First Time

"And there's Young Master Lie Yan. Doesn't he still need to spend time searching for the location of the Yan Tribe? It's a good opportunity to search during this time. When there's news, you can set off again," Long Liu added.

Lie Yan's expression improved slightly upon hearing this.

If it doesn't affect his own affairs, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for the La Tribe to settle here for the time being; a win-win situation.

Bai Yu Hou couldn't make a decision and looked at Cheng Bang for advice.

Cheng Bang nodded silently, considering it an agreement to the proposal.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Bai Yu Hou said,

"Then let's follow Young Master Long Liu's words!"

"Haha, that's the spirit! In that case, I'll go make arrangements to find a place for the La Tribe people to settle down first."

With that, Long Liu got up and left.

"Grand Elder, are we really going to stay here and repay our debts through labor?" Bai Yu Hou was still a bit unwilling.

This was, after all, forced labor, so it was normal for him to be unhappy.

"Bai Yu Hou, be patient. Long is a land of outstanding people, and Young Master Long Liu has brilliant strategies. Staying here for a while may not be a bad thing," Cheng Bang explained.

"You mean..." Bai Yu Hou understood a little.

"That's right. Don't forget that our migration north, on the one hand, is to meet up with the Yan Tribe, and on the other hand, to unite the tribes of the world to jointly attack Jin. Although we are now trapped in Long, isn't it an opportunity to increase communication with them?" Cheng Bang explained.

"Grand Elder is right!" Bai Yu Hou bowed.

...

Over the next two months, the La Tribe people diligently completed the tasks assigned by Butler Huba.

In fact, there was only one task: spinning thread.

Every day, they would spin the golden silk threads produced by the Ghost-Faced Cicada pupae into gold thread. They didn't have to do any other work.

At the beginning, Bai Yu Hou thought that they would be able to pay off their debts in a day or two.

But unexpectedly, things were far from that simple.

He brought more than ten thousand people from La, but only three thousand of them had clothes. What about the remaining seven thousand?

Under Butler Huba's promotion, Bai Yu Hou simply bought a set for the rest of the people as well.

In this way, their working hours would inevitably be extended.

In addition to this, although their labor offset the value of the golden clothes, they still had to eat every day. To eat, they needed a lot of food.

Of course, this food was not free either.

Therefore, the labor of the La Tribe people also had to be used to repay the debt for food.

As a result, after two months, they had only repaid half of it.

Even Cheng Bang couldn't help but sigh at how capable Young Master Long Liu was!

He calculated every expense clearly, leaving people speechless. At the same time, he successfully trapped more than ten thousand laborers, who worked day and night to produce gold thread for him.

It was obvious that Long Liu would use these gold threads to make more golden clothes.

With golden clothes, he could exchange for more food and resources from the surrounding tribes.

Coupled with Long Liu's clever mind, other tribes would probably suffer as well.

In this case, it would be against reason for the Long Tribe not to prosper.

Although the debt was not cleared in two months, Cheng Bang was not in a hurry, and Bai Yu Hou was not in a hurry either.

Only Lie Yan was very anxious.

Lie Yan borrowed some manpower from Bai Yu Hou and continued to head north to find the Yan Tribe.

After so long, no one had returned.

The waiting process always seemed very long. Lie Yan stood at the crossroads every day, looking out, but returned disappointed every day.

Inside Long Liu's residence.

"Grand Elder Yao, how do you find the taste?" Long Liu was inviting Cheng Bang to taste his latest invention, a type of liquid.

"Spicy and pungent, difficult to swallow," Cheng Bang shook his head.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Grand Elder wouldn't like it," Long Liu said with some surprise and a laugh.

"Bai Yu Hou, what do you think?" Long Liu turned to ask Bai Yu Hou.

"It's spicy when it goes down, but there's a sweet aftertaste. This feeling is very strange; I've never experienced it before," Bai Yu Hou pondered as he replied.

"It seems Bai Yu Hou knows his stuff!" Long Liu gave a thumbs up.

It was the first time Cheng Bang had been looked down upon. Feeling somewhat unhappy, he picked up the ceramic bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Grand Elder, don't drink too fast, it's easy to get dizzy. If you find it spicy, you can eat some salted fish," Long Liu reminded him.

"A small bowl of fine wine is nothing to me!" Cheng Bang boasted.

"Haha! Grand Elder is so generous! I'll toast you another bowl!" Long Liu was overjoyed, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

Cheng Bang didn't stand on ceremony either, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Bang wouldn't make such a boast. He was cautious by nature and always presented a profound and unpredictable appearance in front of others.

Now, he was uttering bold words, naturally because he was interfered with by alcohol.
