Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The young lady in the white dress wanted to say something but a voice came. “Wait!”

Another carriage arrived from behind. However, instead of horses, a bull pulled the carriage. It was physically larger than the horses.

Although it was pulled by a bull, the fabric on the carriage was the same as the one in front. Both the material and the workmanship were exquisite.

The bull carriage slowed down due to the horse carriage in front. The large yellow bull exhaled hard through its nostrils and lowered its head to angle its horns at the horse carriage.

The horses and the bull seemed to be old enemies, both angered the moment they saw each other. The bull horns and horse horns banged against each other. Although it was two against one, the bull still fared well. This was the advantage of having two horns.

At this moment, two young adults, one man and one woman, hopped off the bull carriage too. They looked similar, the guy was a little older.

“Ji Yan, Ji Wan? How dare you crash into my carriage?!” roared the lady clad in white.

“Please wait a moment.” The guard sprinted into the house with the knife, disappearing in an instant.

When he heard the guard say the word ‘please’, Black Bear stared at Shao Xuan as if he were a two-headed monster with his mouth agape. “You know Ji Ju?!”

“I do, I told you I met him yesterday?” said Shao Xuan.

Black Bear realised he had mentioned this during dinner yesterday but he didn’t take it seriously, thinking Shao Xuan had only seen him from afar like himself.

“Shao Xuan, are you really here to learn about planting from Ji Ju? Any other matters?” Black Bear asked curiously. If Ji Ju had entrusted an item to him, he must have a special relationship with the old man.

“Yeah.” He nodded.

“What else?” asked Black Bear curiously.

“To get back what he owes me.”

Black Bear was speechless. He did not believe it at all. Ji ‘Golden Grain’ Ju owes him something? Hehe!

On the other side, on a piece of land.

Ji Ju was looking at the land around him with a horrid look on his face. There were more than ten people listening to him, bowing in respect.

“I said this before, an arm’s distance! An arm’s distance! What is this you show me? Are your arms as long as your legs?! Do it again!”

“Also this piece of land. Have you prepared the grain chaffs? We’ll need it in ten days, if they’re not all covered, and all the plants die, you all might as well die too!”

“Heh, also this part! I said dig in squares! Squares! You’ve worked for me for so long, don’t you know what squares mean? If you don’t know it, get the hell out of my land!”

Ji Ju cursed as he paced, his expression worsened by the second. The ten people next to him had spit flying in their faces but they dared not wipe it off. They carefully answered Ji Ju’s questions, quickly promising not to make the mistake again. They did not want to be chased out of this land. It was great here. The food and rewards here were great. Many people were jealous. Even if they had to be the lowest-ranked slaves, many were willing to work here.

When he walked by another piece of land, Ji Ju looked at the ground, expressionless. “This. Who buried these bones?”

All ten people were screaming in their hearts. Oh no, oh no! He was going to explode!

After a while, they were familiar with his temper. His scoldings were fine because it meant they could still save themselves. However, if he stopped yelling, that meant someone would suffer and everyone there would be collateral damage.

One of the people paled. He had been in charge of this square. Although they hadn’t planted anything, burying bones was one of the preparation steps. These were beast bones that Ji Ju had sent people to get especially for this purpose. The plants would grow well with these bones. But looking at Ji Ju’s expression, something must have gone wrong!

Ji Ju’s glare was deadly. His eyes swept across the lands. He was very familiar with the fields. IF he said there was a problem, then there definitely was a problem.

The person in charge of the piece of land wiped the sweat off his forehead, sending someone to get the person who buried the bones.

Soon, two slaves were brought before him. They were the ones who buried the bones.

The person in charge glared at them like he was about to spray poison out of his eyes.

When they saw Ji Ju, the two slaves realised they had been found out. They did not have the courage to defend themselves, merely crouching on the ground, shaking.

To be honest, although Ji Ju had a bad temper, compared to the other slave masters who tortured and killed their slaves, he was alright. As long as his crops were planted well, he gave generous rewards too. When he was in a good mood, he was generous to people who helped, even if they were slaves. However, some people were greedy. Like these two.

They had switched the bones. They had stolen the original beast bones for a profit somewhere else. It was a large piece of land, they were familiar with Ji Ju’s planting procedures. It was possible for anyone to start having these plans.

However, to a person so familiar with planting, one bone was enough to reveal all the secrets.

Ji Ju’s face was cold as ice, his tone flat. “Take them outside.”

Guards came immediately, covering their mouths and dragging them off for interrogation. No matter what, they were not going to live.

Some people liked using humans as fertilisers. Other slave masters sometimes used slaves who were executed as fertilisers. However, it was different here. Ji Ju was precise in using every bone, rock, handful of soil and bucket of poop as fertiliser. That was why he produced the best goods.

The person in charge of this piece of land would definitely have his title taken away. The escalation of the situation would depend on him.

Just as Ji Ju was still furious, the butler hurried over.

“Master, the young master and miss are here…”

“I’m not meeting them!” Ji Ju waved impatiently.

“Also a few traders…”

“Tell them to get lost!” This was Ji Ju’s answer before the butler could finish.

The butler already knew this was going to happen, he merely went for formalities. It was his job. The traders must be here to see his master’s precious crops. Hmmph, they were looking to get a scolding.

After a few steps, the guard from the door spoke a few words and handed a knife to him.

He was shocked to see the knife. The butler hurried to look for Ji Ju.

“Master…”

“What?!”

“Someone came…”

“I said, tell them to get lost!”

“But he showed us this knife.”

“Did you hear me, I said… Wait! What knife?”

Ji Ju snapped out of his rage and looked at the little bronze knife in the butler’s palms. He cocked an eyebrow, twirling the knife out of habit. “Who is this person? Is he called Shao Xuan?”

“Uh, I don’t know. The guard said he was a young man, he looked like a tribesman.”

“It’s that kid! Bring him in!”
