Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

Chapter 286: Trap

Laura nodded and said, "Alright, but when are we going to rescue the princess? Should we wait until we leave?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, if we wait until we leave to rescue the princess, then King Xiqi will definitely suspect that it was us who saved her. We just need to find the Second Princess and Third Princess and rescue them immediately. We will treat them the same way we treated Gasol, so King Xiqi won’t suspect us anymore."

After hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Laura felt it made sense. If they rescued the Second Princess and Third Princess right after they left, it would indeed be suspicious. In that case, it would bring them many uncertainties. It was better to rescue them now; even if King Xiqi suspected them, he wouldn’t have any evidence.

Meg looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "Young master, how did your meeting with King Xiqi go today? What kind of person is he?"

Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "He is a very capable person. If you only look at his appearance, you would think he is a brutish orc without any cunning, but if you pay attention to his eyes, you will realize he is quite shrewd. I went to discuss the grain trade with him today, which should eliminate any doubts he has about us."

Laura nodded and smiled, "King Xiqi must be very pleased right now. He won’t expect that he won't even see the day we deliver grain to them."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "First, we need to stabilize him, so he doesn’t take action against us. If that happens, my brother’s plan might be exposed. Once we rescue the two princesses, we can investigate the situation with the Bullfighting Tribe. From various rumors, it seems the situation there isn't too good either. After all, collaborating with the human race is a major taboo for the orc tribe, and they will definitely try to conceal it. If I were the clan leader of the Bullfighting Tribe, I would let the human partners retreat from the grasslands first and return when the opportunity is right. This way, they would lose a significant support, making my brother’s chances of success even greater."

Laura nodded and said, "Yes, if Brother Wells can counterattack quickly, he will definitely succeed, because no one would expect him to counterattack so soon."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and didn’t say anything more. He turned to Laura and the others and asked, "In the past few days, how have your interactions with those from the Bullfighting Tribe been?"

Laura thought for a moment and replied, "Honestly, I didn’t feel much. They seem harder to get along with than Spill. I don’t really like them."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "They might be too utilitarian. We can’t blame them; they often have trade caravans coming through here. They can’t be compared to Spill and the others. Let’s just consider it an ordinary transaction; after all, we won’t have any further dealings with them in the future."

Laura nodded, and the group focused their attention back on the screen, watching the busy orcs. Suddenly, Zhao Hai sighed, "Looking at how busy they are, it’s hard to imagine how they would react when war comes."

Laura and the others remained silent; none of them had experienced war and couldn’t imagine the scene. However, they had seen what happened to the camp of the Giant Horned Mighty Bulls after Gasol attacked. That was just a small camp; if this large camp turned into that, it would indeed be hard to imagine.

Zhao Hai sighed again, and the scene switched to the convoy, which was still moving forward without any incidents. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I just captured a raging blood bull, and the Spatial Ranch leveled up again. I also raised a hundred cows. By the way, our homemade milk wine is almost ready, right? Shall we go back to Iron Mountain Fortress and taste it?"

Hearing that the ranch had leveled up, Laura and the others were very happy. Laura exclaimed, "Brother Hai, the ranch is now at level seven, right? What changes will happen when it reaches level ten?"
