Chapter 388 I'd better stay in the cage
"Go and get the clan seal from me. If you don't show sincerity, you won't be forgiven."
Bonanzi's voice was low and hoarse.
A servant quickly took out the Kuro tribe's dark iron plate from the luggage.
This badge was a token of Bonanzi's promise to Lin Feng to become the Lord of Kuro. He used a trick to get it back.
Now it seems that I am the clown.
A servant asked cautiously, "Elder, what should we do next?"
"What else can I do? I can only apologize."
Bo Nanzi sighed: "Alas, this time I'm going to bleed heavily... Today my old face will be in jeopardy."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go and see Lin Feng."
Bonanzi had already decided in his heart that this time he would redeem Na Ren with sincerity.
As for Nalan, I can't take care of him for the time being.
Two servants hurried forward, supported Bonanzi on the left and right, and helped him put on his shoes.
The three people slowly walked out of the house.
The two servants of Bonanzi were also over fifty years old, with gray hair and hunched backs.
From a distance, three old men were moving tremblingly in the yard of the inn.
Just like dusk and the setting sun.
The news that Na Ren was imprisoned was deliberately released by Bai Jing at the request of the jailer.
Bonanzi's servant wandered around the prison area, spent some money, and got a definite answer from the jailer.
At this time, Lin Feng and Bai Jing were discussing Bonanzi's reaction.
A soldier came to report that the elder of the Kuro tribe, Bonanzi, wanted to see him.
The two smiled at each other, nodded, and asked someone to lead Bonanzi in.
As soon as Bonanzi entered Lin Feng's house, he knelt on the ground, crawled on the ground tremblingly, and kowtowed.
"I am old and foolish. Please don't blame me, General Lin. I deserve death, I deserve death..."
Lin Feng smiled without moving.
Bai Jing hurried forward, bent down to help Bonanzi up, and helped him sit on the chair.
"You are so old, even if you really have committed a crime, how can we blame you? Just drink some water to calm your nerves."
Bai Jing comforted him and put the tea into Bonanzi's hands.
Bonanzi brought the tea, smiled bitterly, shook his snow-white head and sighed.
"I admire you so much. For decades, I've called you a wise man. Who would have thought that the master is actually General Lin? I've lived my life in vain."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "I don't understand what Mr. Bo said."
Bo Nanzi shook his hand and said, "Okay, okay, General Lin, I'm already in awe. Please, General, please consider my age and frailty and don't tease me any more."
Bai Jing said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Bo, what brings you here this time?"
Bonanzi took out an iron plate from his arms and raised it in front of Bai Jing with both hands.
"I ask General Lin to be the leader of the Kuro tribe. I am sincere and will not say a word of falsehood."
Bai Jing turned her head to look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng remained calm: "And then?"
"Please, General Lin, set your terms. I will comply with them."
Lin Feng sighed: "With this attitude, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."
"I know I was wrong."
Bo Nanzi has already put his reputation on the line. No matter what Lin Feng says, he just keeps apologizing and admitting his mistakes.
"Are you worthy of being the master of the Kuro tribe?"
Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.
"This card is the destiny card passed down by the Kuro tribe. Seeing this card is like seeing the tribe leader, no matter who he is."
Bonanzi answered solemnly.
Bai Jing asked doubtfully, "Will someone as unruly as Blade abide by the clan rules?"
"If you violate the clan rules, you will be punished by heaven. Na Ren dares not disobey the will of heaven. This is a rule that is ingrained in the blood of the Kuro people."
Bonanzi swore solemnly.
Lin Feng finally felt relieved and said calmly.
"As for the price, you can discuss it with Manager Bai. She fully represents my wishes."
"Thank you, General Lin."
Bo Nanzi bowed his head and thanked him.
He knew that as long as Lin Feng agreed to talk, there would always be a price that would impress him.
Bai Jing didn't ask for too much. Five thousand taels of gold, at least half of which had to be gold, and the rest could be paid in silver, jewels, or war horses and supplies.
When Bo Nanzi heard the price, he grinned.
Last time it was 30,000 taels of silver, this time it’s even worse, 5,000 taels of gold, if calculated based on the market price.
It is already worth 50,000 taels of silver.
Although Bai Jing had a smile on her face, her eyes told Bo Nanzi.
There's no need to talk about the price.
Next, Bo Nanzi entered the prison area to meet the young patriarch Na Ren.
Na Ren was still as he was yesterday, locked tightly with iron chains.
He opened his eyes and looked at Bonanzi who was kneeling on the ground opposite him with a wry smile.
They both knew that things were messed up.
After a moment of silence, Na Ren spoke first.
"Mr. Bo, is there still hope?"
His voice was weak, showing helplessness and dejection, and his previous arrogance was long gone.
Bo Nanzi nodded and said, "Young Clan Leader, I have already reached an agreement with Lin Feng. Once the five thousand taels of gold arrive, you can escape and return to the clan."
Na Ren bared his sharp white teeth.
"Five thousand taels of gold..."
Each word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
Bo Nanzi smiled bitterly: "You still have to acknowledge Lin Feng as your master, and never regret it."
Na Ren raised his head with great effort, staring blankly at the top of the iron cage, speechless for a long time.
"What kind of devil did Nalan offend..."
Bonanzi also felt the same way.
"Two of the strongest men on our prairie, one was crippled by him, the other was imprisoned here, and I, too, fell into his trap. Young Chief, accept it. Let's go back to our tribe and never set foot in the west of this town again."
Na Ren rested his chin on the wooden yoke, staring at Bonanzi with his eyes.
He was as vicious as a hungry wolf, which made Bonanzi shudder.
"Okay, I won't come to Dazong again."
Bonanzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, the young patriarch's life was saved.
It's just that the two of them thought things were simple.
At the ceremony of recognizing the master, Lin Feng summoned civil and military officials from the castle and gathered them in the courtyard of the command center.
Nalan was also brought over.
When Na Ren and Na Lan knelt in front of Lin Feng in front of everyone, Lin Feng held up the black iron plate that symbolized the clan leader and asked Na Ren to lead the Kuro cavalry to withdraw from the Tatar main camp and re-station at the original camp site and wait for orders.
Na Ren, Na Lan and Bonanzi were all dumbfounded and stood there.
Does this mean that the Kuro clan will openly confront the Tiezhen royal family?
In this case, will the Kuro tribe still have a foothold on the grassland?
The three of them were unable to answer for a moment and could only lower their heads in thought.
After thinking for a long time, Na Ren looked up and stood up, with a helpless look on his face.
"Lin Feng, I'd better go back to that cage. You can kill me or scratch me as you like. I'm sorry, but I can't obey such an order."
After saying this, he lowered his hands and waited for the soldiers to come forward and arrest him.
Nalan stared at Lin Feng blankly with her lifeless eyes. She had already lost all consciousness to resist Lin Feng.
Bonanzi also sighed and had nothing to say.
At that moment, everyone present turned to look at Lin Feng, wondering what he was up to.
Only Bai Jing came close to Lin Feng and spoke softly.
"Brother, aren't you going to force the Kuro tribe to death?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily. "Alright, I'm just testing this sign to see if it works. Since you're truly committed, I won't make things difficult for you. Once the ransom arrives, you can return to the headquarters, take your brothers, and retreat to the Kuro tribe."
Upon hearing this, Na Ren nodded in agreement.
"That's no problem. I won't get involved in the war with Master Tie."
