Chapter 429: An Duo
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Lin Suisui looked at the slaves who knelt on the ground and crawled like livestock after pulling the carriage into the camp, her heart ached.
This kind of thing wouldn’t happen in the empire.
Although there were indeed many families who mistreated their servants, even the emperor of the empire didn’t have the guts to humiliate his people in front of everyone.
However, among the northern barbarians, this was very normal.
Over the past few days, she had heard about some northern barbarian customs from the others in the tribe. What was mentioned the most was the attitude of the nobles in the Imperial Court towards the northern barbarians.
There were actually many tribes like them among the northern barbarians.
However, Mo Rigen was a good chief, so the people of the tribe had not suffered too much. However, some other tribes were completely different.
Most of the tribe members there were the private assets of the tribe leader.
They had to work hard on a daily basis. It was also common for them to be beaten and starved. What was even more terrifying was that sometimes, when the leader of the tribe was in a bad mood, he would even kill people to vent his anger.
Sacrificing living people was even more common.
Someone like An Duo, who only used people as slaves, was already considered benevolent.
At the very least, these slaves could survive for the time being…
Shaman An Duo alighted from the carriage arrogantly. He was a gloomy-looking man.
There was no hair on his head, but there were strange patterns drawn in black and white. Actually, not only on his face and head, but even various parts of his body had this strange pattern.
He raised his mean eyes and sized up his surroundings with pride and disdain. When he didn’t see the person he wanted to see, his expression turned even darker as he looked at Mo Rigen with an unfriendly gaze. “Why are you guys the only ones here?”
“We’re believers of Tengri, so it’s understandable that we came out to welcome Tengri. However, the Goddess is different. How could you let her come out to welcome you?”
Mo Rigen looked at the An Duo shaman in disbelief, as if his request was unreasonable.
This made shaman An Duo, who was already unhappy, look even more enraged. He glared at Mo Rigen as he said word by word, “Goddess? Mo Rigen, do you know the price of offending Tengri?
I’ve already heard about the background of this goddess. Do you really believe her?”
Shaman An Duo was really enraged now.
This wasn’t the first time he had interacted with Mo Rigen’s tribe.
The first time they met could be traced back to five years ago.
No matter how much he disliked Mo Rigen, he knew very well that Mo Rigen was a very smart and capable tribal leader. The wealth of their tribe was far beyond that of other surrounding tribes.
If he could obtain the worship of this tribe, his life would improve substantially.
However, to his surprise, Mo Rigen rejected his request to stay in their tribe.
The reason was that firstly, the conditions in their tribe were relatively harsh and they lived in the open all year round, so they were afraid that he wouldn’t be able to adapt. Secondly, there were not many people in their tribe to begin with, so they naturally couldn’t provide enough people to take care of him.
In short, he had been rejected.
This was an outcome he didn’t expect.
With his status, which tribe wouldn’t welcome him with joy? Unlike Mo Rigen and the others, who actually dared to reject him!
Such an ungrateful tribe deserved retribution!
But at that time, Mo Rigen had Gu Han backing him.
No matter how much he wanted to attack, he had to consider Gu Han!
However, things were different now. The Imperial Court had already changed. Because of the rebellion, Gu Han was missing!
Without Gu Han, Mo Rigen’s tribe was a piece of cake for him!
It was also because of this that he temporarily slowed down his pace towards the Imperial Court. He had to come over and take over this tribe first!
After all, Mo Rigen had always been cautious. It was rare for him to be in such a vulnerable position!
Goddess…
Hehe, how ridiculous!
“Of course not.” Mo Rigen lowered his head and maintained a respectful attitude, but there was no hint of humility in his tone.
He lowered his eyes as he explained calmly, “We were lucky enough to see a miracle, so…”
“How can a goddess appear so easily? A miracle? Do you ignorant mortals know what a miracle is?” Before Mo Rigen could finish speaking, An Duo refuted him impatiently, “Perhaps it’s a trick!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?! I’m not blind. If it wasn’t the Goddess who saved my life, could it be you?” Gu Han suddenly walked out of the tent at the side and glared at shaman An Duo as he sneered. “Also, we saw the miracle last night. Do you mean that we’re all fools?
You have to think carefully about it before you speak!
You said yourself that blasphemy is a serious crime!
Do you want retribution for offending the Goddess here?”
It wasn’t only shaman An Duo. The guests from the other two tribes who came with him didn’t expect to see the unscathed Gu Han here either.
For a moment, they were dumbfounded. However, by the time they reacted and wanted to respond, a group of organized northern barbarian soldiers suddenly appeared and disarmed them. Then, they were brought into the tent used for discussion in the tribe.
Shaman An Duo struggled and resisted, but they came prepared this time. Without giving him time to react, someone stuffed a black pill into his mouth. In an instant, his body weakened and he could only be dragged away.
“Please forgive me, shaman An Duo. You’ve always been very capable. In order to give us a chance to talk peacefully, I took the initiative to use Tendon Softening Powder on you for the time being. I’ll apologize to you after we’re done discussing the next matter.” Mo Rigen smiled respectfully, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes, making him look very cold..
