Chapter 459= Tianci Lake

Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations

The next day, the Third Prince threw out the job of cleaning up the iron mine and went on leave.

First Prince Chercha had been busy stabilizing his status recently so that he could completely take over the position of the King of Xiongnu. That’s right.

After fighting until now, the King of Xiongnu’s title had yet to be settled under the tireless efforts of his other two brothers.

On the surface, it was said that the princes wanted to mourn for their father, but in fact, no one was willing to submit to the other.

Chercha knew that the Third Prince, Cheryan, was vexed because of the iron mine, but how could he not be vexed?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was most appropriate to throw this thankless mess to Chernan.

Didn’t he have nothing to do and could only talk to people about right and wrong? Then he would find some work for him.

Of course, Chernan was also unwilling, but who asked him to offend his brothers at the same time? The two of them worked hard and forced him to agree to it.

Chernan was quite aggrieved. When he participated in the meeting targeting Xiongnu’s current state, he decisively adopted non-violent and uncooperative methods. He objected to whatever the two of them said.

It was fine for others, but when Chercha realized that he and his third brother had reached an agreement that they had to attack Great Xia and Chernan insisted that they were farting, he couldn’t tolerate it.

“If we don’t take advantage of the fact that we still have some ironware storage to attack Great Xia quickly, how can we be their match in the future when they become more prosperous?”

Chernan was actually more belligerent than anyone else. If it was any other time, he would be the first to raise his hands and feet in agreement when he said that he wanted to fight a war. However, he couldn’t do that now. He had to go against the flow!

Hence, he did not even think about it. “But we signed a three-year agreement to coexist peacefully. Won’t we be treacherous bastards if we attack rashly?”

The two of them, who were called bastards, were simply baffled. “When did our

Xiongnu abide by the agreement?”

Although it was the truth, Chernan immediately put on a look of disdain when he heard it from others. “How can you say it righteously?”

“It might be because you’ve done too many dirty things that the Heavens punished our Xiongnu!”

Chercha and Cheryan couldn’t stand such words the most. They immediately flipped the table.

The reason was unclear, so the two of them simply grabbed their weapons.

“Should you not agree?”

Aiyo, are you two going to make a move?

When had he, Chernan, ever been afraid of fighting?

Initially, he was just pretending. Unexpectedly, a fool under someone in the crowd actually drew his saber and swung it at him.

It was not easy to end the matter when there was blood. The three princes of Xiongnu had a huge conflict that night. The three of them were injured to varying degrees. Although Chernan did not lose to the two of them, he was quite angry.

“I’ll tell you. As long as I’m around, sigh! I don’t agree with attacking Great

Xia!”

With that, he angrily led his men to dig iron ore.

What he did not know was that Xiaoxiao, who had just activated her Range Control, was rubbing her chin in deep thought.

Chernan walked quite anxiously. On one hand, he was angry. On the other hand, he could fully feel his brothers’ anger. He felt that if he walked slower, the two of them might really kill him.

The reason why he could retain a portion of his support after his defeat was entirely because of the dehydrated vegetables and convenient food he brought back from Great Xia. Although he had also consumed a lot of wealth accumulated over the years, at least he had let the people of Xiongnu eat their fill!

In the past, he thought that he had to fight for military power and the favor of the elders. He never expected that what made him retain his dignity and status now was the love of the people.

When he arrived at the iron mine and saw the respectful attitude of the miners towards him, Chernan was filled with emotions.

If someone had told him two years ago that many people would look at him with respect and love instead of fear, he would probably just want to split that person’s head open and see how much glue it had.

Perhaps not used to this feeling, Chernan scratched his head. The first order he gave after arriving at his destination was to let the miners rest.

Actually, he regretted saying that, but he calmed down when he heard the deafening cheers.

The Third Prince dug for dozens of days but didn’t dig out a few pieces of iron.

He was only resting for a day. What was the big deal?

Unexpectedly, just as the miners retreated from the huge pit they had dug, the rain continued for 10 days.

Chernan was both happy and worried. He was happy because the rainwater from Xiongnu was rare and precious. They were flattered by the sudden generosity of the heavens.

He was worried that it would be even harder to mine after the rain stopped.

Under such complicated emotions, everyone waited for the first light after the rain.

The huge pit was now filled with the heavenly water that had been saved over the past few days. For some reason, it was not stained with yellow sand and was so clear that one could see the bottom. It really made people happy.

“It’s a lake!”

Then the problem was that if they wanted to continue digging at the original mineral source, they had to drain the lake water. However, who could bear to do such a foolish thing?

After much consideration, Chernan decided to go to the next mineral source first and concentrate on digging elsewhere. Perhaps there would be more iron ore found there, and there would be no need to touch this lake.

Then, he was surprised to know that the other places also had lakes because of the heavenly water. After walking around and returning to the original point, he felt that he might only be able to dig another equally large pit and lure the lake water over.

It was a little troublesome, but at least it was the best for both parties.

However, just as he was about to get someone to take action, someone exclaimed and presented a few green seedlings.

“Second Prince! There are so many of these things growing on the ground by the lake!”

Ever since Great Xia’s border city started farming, Xiongnu had also bought food from them, so someone recognized it at a glance—

“Prince, these are sweet potato seedlings!”

“Sweet potatoes can be used as food!”

“Prince, different seedlings have also been discovered in other places. They seem to be edible!”

“These seedlings are alive. They’re alive!”

For some reason, when he confirmed the true appearance of those seedlings that suddenly appeared, Chernan’s eyes suddenly felt a little hot.

Damn it, the heavens had finally opened their eyes. Have the heavens remembered the forgotten children like them?

“Prince, are we still digging a new lake?

Chernan took a deep breath with his back facing everyone.

“What’S there to dig? The seedlings will die. What’s there to eat next year?” The lake that suddenly appeared was named “Tianci” and became a gift from the heavens in the hearts of the Xiongnu citizens. Countless citizens spontaneously came to the lake to protect the water and seedlings that could be said to be miracles.

When Chercha and Cheryan found out about this, Chernan had already happily entered a happy farming life with the commoners there.

Their heads hurt. “Is Chernan crazy? He’s usually more enthusiastic than anyone when it comes to war.. Why has he fallen in love with farming now?”
