I should marry the traitor

Chapter 40 Origami King - Kite
Outside Beishuo Pass, the scene is completely different from that of Daqian.

The desert is white sand, the sky is grey, the river is dry and the grass is dead, there are flying scorpions and skinny rats.

The Qian people probably could not understand why the Northern Di people repeatedly wanted to move south, because they did occupy the most fertile land on the continent.

Although the desert where the Northern Di lived was better than the desert, in the desolate desert, only the Gobi Desert with flowing water could barely be habitable.

Shi Ming's horse was tied to the stream to drink water, while Shi Ming himself had already arrived at the Beidi camp.

Although the Northern Di have become increasingly powerful in recent years, they still maintain a relatively primitive tribal leader system, selecting the king who leads the tribe through very direct military competition.

"Shi Ming, the envoy of Beishuo, greets the Origami King."

Shi Ming bowed and saluted the current King of Beidi, and received a reply from the King of Beidi.

"It hasn't been long since we reached an agreement last time. Why is Lord Shi in such a hurry to come to my department again?"

The one who replied to Shi Ming was a beautiful girl with wheat-colored skin. Compared with the Qian people, the Beidi people had darker skin and were a little shorter, especially the women, most of whom were lolita no more than 1.5 meters tall. Obviously, the Beidi King in front of him was no exception.

And An Xinlin's white hair is also proof of his Northern Di ancestry. Northern Di people generally have light hair color, and the whiter the hair, the better their ancestry.

Moreover, the King of Beidi in front of him is named Yuan. He is not only a hot loli with short white hair and black skin, but also a hybrid of paper demon with a blood concentration of up to 90%.

Beidi is certainly not weak. If it were too weak, even if An Xinlin wanted to keep the enemy as a threat for his own good, he would not choose Beidi. It is impossible to keep a country that does not even have a congenital master.

Although Yuan is the only innate-level expert in Beidi, his bloodline has barely reached 90%,
However, unlike An Xinlin's mechanical demon bloodline's direct and violent fighting style, Yuan fights by creating and controlling various paper figures. This type of person is usually more troublesome.

"I came here this time in the hope that King Origami would send out his troops in three days."

"Sending troops in three days? This is too far from what we agreed on before."

The Origami King frowned when he heard this. The important affairs of the tribe, such as sacrifices and warfare, are no joke. How can they be changed at will?

"The plan has changed. If you want to go south, you need to send troops within three days and take Jizhou directly."

"In order to take Jizhou, did you and the Yuan family fail in the negotiation?"

The original plan set by An Xinlin and the Origami King was to form an alliance among Beidi, Beishuo, and the Yuan family. With the help of the horses provided by Jizhou, the Beishuo army would be completely built into a 30,000-strong cavalry. Together with Beidi's 50,000 elite infantry, it would be a strong army of 80,000.

The Yuan family can easily recruit at least 100,000 young and strong men in Jizhou, and by fighting and training at the same time, they can get at least 80,000 combat-ready troops.

If we add some auxiliary soldiers and civilians, it won't be a problem to have an army of 500,000. By then, they can naturally compete with Dong Bai.

But now, not only can the Yuan family not become an ally, but they are even going to go to war with Jizhou. This is a huge variable.

The Origami King was also a man who knew military affairs. Right now the Jizhou army was not yet formed, so it would be easy for them to fight. It was nothing more than that the army that the Yuan family was supposed to be responsible for recruiting according to the original plan would now be taken over by An Xinlin.

The question is, where is the money? Where is the food?
Why did the Origami King and An Xinlin have to include the Yuan family in their previous plans? In the final analysis, in addition to wanting to use the influence of the Yuan family, it was because only the Yuan family could provide enough money and food. "That won't work." The Origami King had a very regretful expression: "Not to mention that without the support of the Yuan family, my men won't get enough food. Even if I am willing to send troops, who will be responsible for the food and grass for the army? I love my people very much. How can I bear to let them go to war on an empty stomach?"

The Origami King loves his people? Shi Ming felt that the other party seemed to be joking. Did she kill too few of her people? Your way of loving is to use magic to turn all your people into paper people, right?
"Of course I know that King Origami loves his people like his own children, but if great things are to be accomplished, some sacrifices must be made first. Why don't you see our sincerity first?"

After saying that, Shi Ming waved his hand, and two strong Beishuo soldiers lifted up a huge wooden box and opened it in front of Yuan.

The wooden box was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and porcelain, which made Yuan's eyes light up. Beidi was still a relatively backward tribe. Although the soldiers were cruel under the law that poor mountains and bad waters produced unruly people, they were good at fighting and were really poor. Moreover, in order to save Li Changge from Dong Bai's clutches and lock him up in his basement, An Xinlin really spent a lot of money.

"Ahem, it seems that your Lord An is indeed sincere, but talking about money is still a little too vulgar. We are brothers, and it is our duty to help each other, our duty!"

"I know that King Origami doesn't care about these mundane things. I just want to express our sincerity to King Origami."

"Very good, very good. I have seen your sincerity. However, although we can send troops, we still need to find a way to solve the problem of food and fodder."

Yuan just wanted to extort money from An Xinlin, so of course he would still send troops, provided that the problem of food and fodder for the march could be solved. Before the autumn harvest, even the Beishuo Army would not have enough food, let alone the Beidi in the Gobi Desert.

"In fact, if we forcibly send out troops at this time, even our Beishuo Army won't have enough food to eat."

"But King Origami, don't worry. Jizhou is not like the outside of the Great Wall. It has abundant water and grass and is extremely rich."

"As long as we conquer Jizhou, we won't have to worry about money and food. When we enter the pass, whether it's the noble families or the common people, Your Majesty can send troops to borrow money. Please also help my Beishuo Army borrow some."

"After all, some things are not easy for either Lord An or the Beishuo Army to do."

"Hahahahahahaha." As if he heard something funny, the Origami King burst into laughter, causing Shi Ming to frown slightly.

"Why is your Majesty laughing?"

"I just suddenly thought of something happy. I understand what Lord An meant. It means that it is not convenient for her to let me rob money and food, so I will give Lord An some, right?"

"The king's expenses were not robbed, but borrowed."

"That makes sense, that makes sense. It's a loan, hahahaha. Go back and tell Lord An that I will send troops in five days."

"But……"

"When the king said five days, it means five days. I, Beidi Erlang, also need to prepare for the expedition."

"I understand. I will reply to Lord An right away."

Although there were some slight discrepancies, they were still within the acceptable range of Beishuo. Although Shi Ming was a little unhappy, he still went back to report.

The Origami King looked at Shi Ming's receding back and spat at the person beside him: "Bah, you talk about me behind my back as a pervert and cruel person, and you are not a good person yourself."
