Certainly, here’s the translation:

She always loved to support the weak and encourage them.

Ding Sigu said, “I… I have a way to bring greater benefits to the Barbarian Tribes.”

Although he was at the bottom, he had observed all the way and harbored an extremely ruthless plan in his heart. This plan would make others view him in a different light and allow him to rise from someone as insignificant as a slave.

At least, he would have a chance.

“Greater benefits? Oh, little Ding, you’re quite capable. Tell me, what benefits?” Xiao Hongliao smiled, looking kindly at this little brother who followed her around like a shadow.

“Grains.” Ding Sigu immediately became spirited, saying, “Without grains, how will the Barbarian Tribes survive this year? Eat up all the Demon Beast cattle and sheep? Then what about the next year?

Dashang is vast and resourceful, they have stored grains. I just want to help the Barbarian Tribes get a little more from them. This is for the good of all the Barbarian Tribes.”

Xiao Hongliao said, “Then tell me first.”

Ding Sigu, without another word, grabbed a branch and started drawing on the snow-covered ground while speaking, “Ending the war is certainly the wish of both sides, but if you want to pick one who is more eager to end it, it’s clearly Dashang.

They know the consequences of not stopping the war, and this is their home.

And we just need to apply a tiny threat and present a demand that satisfies both parties, and we can easily get the grains.”

Then, he started speaking with excitement.

With accumulated knowledge, sharp speech, and he spoke logically about the situations in various places and what was on everyone’s minds.

As he spoke, he drew on the ground with the branch, hypothesizing different scenarios of army attacks and also criticized how straightforward the Barbarian Tribes fought, contemplating how he would do it differently.

While he spoke, he seemed to be glowing.

Xiao Hongliao felt tempted because she knew the Barbarian Tribes were indeed lacking grains, but she hesitated, saying, “But, would it be inappropriate to obtain grains through threats?”

Ding Sigu replied, “No, this is not a threat.

This is the advantage our Barbarian Tribes hold.

When two tribes compete, how can we not utilize our advantage?”

Xiao Hongliao said, “But… but if Dashang doesn’t agree, wouldn’t both sides suffer? This would ruin the peace talks.”

Ding Sigu said, “Both sides suffer? No, Dashang has many shrewd people. If they don’t negotiate at this moment, we, the Barbarian Tribes, might as well go for broke and, with the Ghost Tide, head south together, frenziedly seizing Dashang’s lands.

They wouldn’t dare.

The Dashang lords would only lose a bit of money, the Dashang negotiation officials just need a little credit to report to the emperor, avoiding a larger catastrophe would be a monumental achievement!

But we Northern Barbarians could save many lives because of this!

Our clan leader is capable in battle, but he cannot understand such matters… Therefore, I humbly ask Sister Hongliao to take me to see the Golden Crow King. Even if it’s just to convey a message, it would be good.”

He looked at Xiao Hongliao with immense longing.

This was a plan he had devised over the past year through various observations, simulations, and ideas, combined with the opportune timing.

Of course, he only told Xiao Hongliao the first part of this plan.

He didn’t dare to mention the second part.

If he said it, Xiao Hongliao surely wouldn’t help him.

However, even if Xiao Hongliao blamed him later, he must seize this opportunity.

Xiao Hongliao contemplated for a long time, looking at the pitiful and hopeful eyes of the young man, and finally agreed, “Alright.”

…

…

The arrival of the shaman finally got a guard to report to the Golden Crow King.

But after the person went, he did not return for a long time.

Ding Sigu stood in the icy snowy landscape, his nose slightly red, warming his hands as he nervously watched the camp illuminated by the mingling light of the fire and snow.

He stood at the most important juncture of his life.

He was determined to succeed.

Xiao Hongliao rubbed her hands together with him, waiting outside.

For a long time, and then longer still…

Ding Sigu almost despaired.

He was not a patient person, his time and opportunities were scarce.

Xiao Hongliao seemed to notice his mood and gently patted his shoulder to encourage him, “Little Ding, don’t be nervous, I’m with you.”

Ding Sigu pressed his lips tightly and nodded nervously.

The waiting was extremely torturous; even a breath felt like it was roasting on fire.

After an unknown length of time, distant hurried footsteps finally approached, and the Barbarian Soldier waved, saying, “Follow me.”

The two joyfully followed the Barbarian Soldier into the tent, arriving at the grand, gold-edged central tent.

The tent flap opened, and inside sat a man with a hawk nose, sinister disposition, and sunken eyes.

The man’s gaze harbored scrutiny and a cold murderous aura. Without lifting his head to look at them, he simply glanced at Xiao Hongliao and said, “Young shaman of the Valley Wolf Clan, what brings you to me at this time? Is there any urgent matter that could not have been brought by your father?”

Xiao Hongliao bowed and said, “Respected Golden Crow King, my brother has something to say, he can help us, the Barbarian Tribes, gain a large amount of grains from Dashang in tomorrow’s negotiations.”

The Golden Crow King glanced at Ding Sigu, lifted a deer antler cup, and said coldly, “You’d better say something useful before I finish this cup of wine.”

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Ding Sigu hesitated no longer. He hurriedly stepped forward and began swiftly analyzing the situation. He was originally a village rascal, and rascals have their own rules of survival, with this… he analyzed the psychology of the Dashang Dynasty, and began articulating how to threaten and force Dashang to compromise.

He quickly pointed at a map, tracing a route on it, saying, “If Dashang doesn’t agree, we just need to follow this path, and our Barbarian Tribes can strike deep into Dashang’s interior, leaving them no choice but to agree.
