#1116 - Chapter 1116 Give Me a Promise

"You can't just think about your own interests! If you're not convinced, we can switch roles and let you gather supplies to provide the Yu Di tribe in the south for making gold clothing. Just imagine the experience of having to supply so much food every day!" Long Liu said.

"The Yu Di tribe in the south is also working for you?" Lie Yan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Of course! All the surrounding tribes are working for us," Long Liu replied matter-of-factly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you Long Di people are really... really..." Bai Yuhou shook his head, unable to find a suitable word to describe it.

"Really what? Let me tell you, don't think this is a good thing! Without Long Di's care, who among you could afford clothes? Wouldn't you all still be running around naked? Tell me, am I right?" Long Liu said this with great confidence.

"That's true enough," Bai Yuhou nodded.

Now, one can see that the skin of the La Di people has improved, and their bodies have become stronger. Everyone has gained weight and no longer looks like the weak, skin-and-bones people they once were.

"That's right! Just think about how long it would take for you to get the La Di people from nakedness to being well-fed and clothed, how much effort you would have to expend, and how much hardship you would have to endure. Calculate it yourself. Once you calculate it, you'll know that Long Di is definitely treating you as friends!" Long Liu continued to twist the knife, acting like a landlord.

"Young Master Long Liu, although what you say makes a lot of sense, we still have important things to do and can't stay here forever," Lie Yan said.

"Bai Yuhou, are you sure you want to leave?" Long Liu looked at Bai Yuhou.

"Yes," Bai Yuhou nodded.

"Alright. Since you want to leave, I don't want to stop you. How about this, I can let you leave, but you need to give me a promise," Long Liu said, holding up one finger.

"What promise?" Bai Yuhou asked.

"If you succeed in conquering Jin Di, I hope you can designate all the territories of Long Di and the surrounding seventeen small tribes as our private territory," Long Liu said.

"Young Master Long Liu, just for a few pieces of clothing? Your appetite is a bit too big, isn't it?" Cheng Bang said with a cold face.

"Hahaha, Grand Tutor is absolutely right. I wouldn't dare to make such a big request based on just a few pieces of clothing. What if I also provide you with ten thousand bronze swords and ten thousand spears?" Long Liu said.

"Really?" Lie Yan asked, his eyes widening.

Ten thousand bronze swords were a significant contribution.

In Lie Yan's opinion, conquering Jin Di was not guaranteed to succeed, and in all likelihood, it would not succeed.

Now, with these twenty thousand sets of weapons, he could arm the warriors of Yan Di and La Di to the teeth. In that case, the chances of conquering Jin Di would be much greater.

Bai Yuhou, who was standing beside him, was also incredibly surprised after hearing this.

Regardless of whether or not the conquest of Jin Di would succeed, these twenty thousand weapons were definitely in their hands.

However, he needed to clarify whether or not these weapons were too hot to handle. So, he asked:

"What if our conquest plan fails?"

"If it fails, then consider it a free gift from me, and you don't need to repay it," Long Liu replied.

"Grand Tutor, what do you think?" Bai Yuhou was tempted.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

How could he refuse something that was being given away for free?

"Young Master Long Liu, when can you deliver these twenty thousand weapons to us?" Cheng Bang asked.

"Yes, when can you give them to us?" Lie Yan echoed.

"Anytime," Long Liu replied confidently.

"Young Master Lie Yan, Bai Yuhou, I think we can agree," Cheng Bang stated.

That was all he could do.

They were the ones who would ultimately pay the price. So, Cheng Bang could only tell them his attitude, and it was up to them to decide whether or not to agree.

"We defer to Grand Tutor's decision!" The two of them said to Cheng Bang in unison.

"Alright!" Cheng Bang nodded, then looked at Long Liu and said:

"We agree to this deal."

In reality, Cheng Bang couldn't possibly be unaware of the hidden dangers behind this deal. However, in his opinion, there were other ways to manipulate the situation.

First of all, conquering Jin Di would definitely require weapons. Since Long Liu could provide weapons, there was no reason to refuse.

Secondly, if the conquest of Jin Di couldn't succeed, then it would be even less likely to succeed without weapons. In that case, there would be no additional costs.

Thirdly, if the conquest of Jin Di succeeded, would Long Liu still want this territory? Would he dare to ask for it?

If the conquest of Jin Di succeeded, and if Lie Yan was still alive, then he would most likely become the new king of the Nata tribe.

If Long Liu dared to demand the territory at that time, it would be a death wish.

Therefore, no matter the outcome, Long Liu shouldn't even think about successfully owning this land. Of course, there was no need to think about this matter now; it would be perfectly fine to decide after the matter was settled.
