As soon as Tong heard that the arrow book sent by the Xinghua Empire had been sent by Ku, he dealt with it privately before they were all of them, and he suddenly felt like he was ignited with anger, and immediately attacked on the spot: "How can you do this! You refuse to leave Qi Lianshan a line of retreat at all, do you want us to die?"

However, in the face of Tong's anger, instead of being affected in the slightest, Ku responded indifferently as a matter of course: "You now have two choices, the first choice is to retreat to Xuechi Mountain with the tribe, and the second option is to hide in the mountains with the tribe and take the warriors to meet the Xinghua army. ”

If it is dry, it will undoubtedly be like adding fuel to the fire. After hearing this, Kiriri shook his head in disbelief. He not only rejected Ku's domineering from the bottom of his heart, but also was very dissatisfied with Ku's disrespect for himself as the patriarch of the Moon Shooting Clan every time he made a difference, and this time he didn't even disclose the arrow book of Xinghua Kingdom to the clan, and he didn't understand that Ku didn't even consider it from beginning to end, and the safety and stability of the Moon Shooting Clan's people forced everyone to follow him to fight.

Although the position of the elder, passed down from generation to generation in the Moon Shooting Clan, has always been highly respected, and its status is also unshakable, as the patriarch, of course, the family rules passed down from generation to generation are also strictly followed, but, at this moment, Tong believes that as an elder, he has not considered the clan with due diligence and dedication, and naturally he is no longer willing to obey him.

The more Tong thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and roared: "How many people are there in our Qilian Mountain lineage, how many people are in the Xinghua Army, even if we come out, can we win? Besides, why don't you show us the arrow book of the Xinghua Army first?"

Ku still looked disappreciative, and said coldly: "The two sides are already enemies, even if they know the content of the arrow book, what is the use, just fight once." It is good to negotiate on an equal footing. ”

These words made Tong suddenly rise to the occasion and shouted: "You are using strong words! If you can negotiate peacefully, why do you want war! You deliberately conceal the information of the Xinghua Army, how can you put us in an advantageous position!"

Unexpectedly, the dry who has always seemed to love to ignore it, after hearing Tong's words. Suddenly, he stared at Tong with wide eyes, and said angrily: "You really have the heart to turn your back on the Moon Shooting Clan!"

Ku is accusing Tong of betraying the freedom of the Moon Shooting Clan, turning his back on the 300,000 clansmen, and he is willing to surrender to the Xinghua Empire, and he does not dare to fight the invaders to the end.

Such an accusation is not only a false accusation, but also a devastating accusation, and Tong suddenly turned red with anger. Immediately, he replied with an angry face: "I don't have the heart to betray, but you! You are selfish, careless about the lives and safety of our Qilian Mountain people, and privately ruined the letters of the Xinghua Army, what do you say you are thinking!"

The two of them quarreled completely now, and neither of them let anyone, each insisted on their own words, and their faces were red for a while! And the two of them had an increasingly fierce dispute. It soon attracted the attention of the clansmen.

But because their dispute is not a short-term conflict among parents. But it is related to the survival of the entire Moon Shooting Clan, so no one in the clansmen who heard the sound of it persuaded them, but it was a short time. Both sides gathered their supporters behind them, because at the moment of the great enemy, who cares about the safety of the Moon Shooter Clan and puts the Moon Shooter Clan in the midst of the war is what they are more concerned about. They seem to be trying to get out of a situation where the two of them are at odds with each other. Tell who is the sinner of the Moon-Shooter.

"If you insist on doing your own thing, I will punish you by practicing the clan law. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, he finally raised his voice on the spot and said sharply.

Tong Ben didn't commit the accusation of betraying the Moon Shooting Clan, and then looked behind him, there were a large number of supporters standing, and he was even more bold, and said: "I didn't violate the clan law, and the clan law is not a tool you use to fight against dissidents." If you insist on going your own way, I will leave the tribe. ”

"Are you going to surrender the Xinghua Army and make a move against the Moon Shooting Clan?" continued coldly, and between his words, he emphasized his suspicion of Kiriti, as if in order to arouse the surrounding onlookers, they also had the same speculation about Kiri.

Tong Ke didn't give him this opportunity lightly, and immediately fought back uncompromisingly: "No, unlike the Great Elder, I will never make a move against the clansmen. ”

Then, Tong turned around, walked out of the cave, and said loudly to the more people outside the cave who were waiting for further news, "The Great Elder is going to take you to war. But I don't want to fight, I prefer that we Moon Shooters can maintain a peaceful and stable life, who wants to follow me?"

Immediately afterwards, this scene happened outside the entrance of the cave, which made Ku an unexpected scene - the thousands of clansmen outside the Great Elder's Cave Mansion immediately echoed the patriarch Tong in unison, and expressed their willingness to leave with Tong Yi on the spot.

In fact, Elder Ku had indeed miscalculated the wishes of the Moon Shooting Clan, and even that he had not really understood the wishes of the Clansmen. Regarding this war with the Xinghua Empire, in fact, nearly half of the people of the Qilian Mountains are unwilling to go to war.

Because, before this, many of the people of the Moon Shooting Clan had gained a lot of benefits from the transaction with Wangdong City. That's the way to really improve their lives and make them more stable and prosperous, and why fight when both sides can follow this way and live better?

Therefore, especially the clansmen of the Tong family, they don't think that if they start a war with the Xinghua Empire, their own family can get any benefits from Wangdong City in the future.

In contrast, they are not used to the practice of the elders. By sacrificing one's own family, family, and tribe, will it be possible to achieve the Moon Shooting Clan? How much benefit can it bring to the Moon Shooting Clan? Is this kind of national righteousness something that these Star Dou people can support? To be honest, they are unwilling.

And Tong himself is not afraid of the authority of the Great Elder at all. After leaving the Great Elder's Cave, Kiri went straight back to his Cave.

After that, Tong gathered his people to leave, and on the other hand, he had to try to contact the Xinghua army. At this time, Tong is already determined that no matter what, he will take people out of Qilian Mountain, unwilling to get involved in this unnecessary war. Therefore, he also hopes to express this idea of his own directly to the Xinghua Empire, hoping that the other party can understand that they do not want to go to war with the Empire.

After a while, Tong sent someone to deliver a letter to the Xinghua army under Qilian Mountain. Xinghuajun received the letter and immediately presented it directly to the emperor.

"What is this?" Yi Xingchen waved the letter in his hand. Asked.

"This is the Moon Shooting Tribesmen on the Qilian Mountain, who sent people down the mountain, and they want to show our army that they hope that our two sides can negotiate peacefully and not go to war. At the same time as handing over the letter, they also stated: Willingness to negotiate face-to-face with the commander of our army. Yan En will shoot the Moon Clan to make the general meaning of the expression, and tell Yi Xingchen one by one.

Yi Xingchen opened the letter, and after reading it carefully, he knew it in his heart. After thinking about it, he said to Yan En, "Arrange it and let them send someone down to meet." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Yan En replied, and then took the order to leave.

Knowing that the Xinghua Empire's army was willing to receive them, Tong was of course happy to accept the Xinghua Army's arrangement. And did not pretend to others, but went directly down the mountain in person to conduct face-to-face negotiations with the Xinghua Army.

On the Great Elder's side, he actually had the news, but instead of taking drastic measures to stop Tong's actions as before, he sent someone to secretly monitor the dynamics of the Xinghua Army. Completely indifferent. Moreover, the clansmen who belong to the line of the Great Elders. Even they have already packed their bags, once the situation changes, under the order of the elders, they will evacuate Qilian Mountain and join the main vein under the protection of the warriors.

Although Kiriku came in person. But Yi Xingchen did not meet in person, but only sent two staff officers of the Royal Guard to negotiate with Tong, while he himself listened behind the tent.

"Any nation or individual who has lived in the territory of the Xinghua Empire for a long time belongs to the Xinghua Empire. You are a member of the Xinghua Empire, and you are also citizens of the Empire, which is the premise of negotiation. Under this premise, the government of the Xinghua Empire has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the personal safety and financial safety of its citizens. Of course, as a citizen, we also have the responsibility and obligation to safeguard the stability and unity of the country. If the Moonshooter doesn't respect orders, it's treason. Traitors, naturally, need to be punished by the laws of the country. ”

"We don't want war, we want peace. After listening to the staff officer's words, Tong hurriedly expressed his position. I don't know why, Officer Xinghua's words touched Tong's heart a little.

"But can you represent the Moon Shooting Clan in the Qilian Mountains?" the officer asked.

Hearing this, Tong's face still showed a little embarrassment, and after thinking about it, he could only say: "This is the dilemma below." To tell you the truth, there is a disagreement within our Moon-Shooting Clan. Now, I can only speak for those who are willing to follow me out of the mountains, but the people of the Great Elder's line have different opinions, and they are not willing to share our paths. ”

After finishing speaking, Tong explained to the staff officer in more detail some of the differences that have arisen in the tribe at present. This is inevitable, even if Tong doesn't say it now, one day, this matter will soon spread. Moreover, by making their position clear to the Xinghua Army as soon as possible, they could also avoid the involvement of the Great Elders.

"Okay, you just have to take them out of the mountain, and we will make arrangements for you. The officer said.

But Kiri, who seemed very worried, hesitated slightly, but still asked firmly, "I need your assurance, to ensure our safety, and I have an obligation to ensure the safety of my people." ”

"How many of you are there?" the officer asked.

"Thousands of people. Kiriku pondered for a moment, then replied. He couldn't be sure, this seemed to be a betrayal of the clan, and how many clansmen were willing to follow him in the end. Because of this, Tong especially needs to win enough protection for his people, at least, the consideration of his life is the most necessary.

Just then, an officer's walkie-talkie rang, and he answered it.

"Agree to his request, and His Majesty is willing to give him proof. From the other end of the intercom, this sentence came.

Kiri was taken aback, staring at the walkie-talkie in the officer's hand, not knowing how to react for a long time.

"Yes, I see. The officer spoke into the walkie-talkie and replied respectfully.

After putting down the walkie-talkie in his hand, the officer turned to Kiri, who was watching him from the side, and said to him, "You wait a moment." Later His Majesty will give you a decree to ensure that you will not be treated unjustly. ”

"Majesty?" At this time, Tong was even more surprised. What happened in front of him was far beyond his comprehension, was he shallow in his knowledge, or was the power of the Xinghua army too unfathomable? Until he saw everything in front of him with his own eyes, and heard the officer mention their majesty, Tong suddenly had a feeling - fortunately, he was more inclined to live a peaceful life, if he followed in the footsteps of the Great Elder and went against the Xinghua army, what would be the end? Because, he never expected that their affairs had already alarmed His Majesty of the Xinghua Empire and attracted the attention of the emperor.

"Naturally, it is the Xinghua Empire, the great emperor Xià. Glancing at Kiri, who was full of shock, the officer replied proudly.

Although Tong is the patriarch of the Moon Shooting Clan, he is just a commoner, and he is still instinctively in awe of the emperor, and says: "The Moon Shooting Clan, Qilian Mountain, thank you to the great emperor Your Majesty!"

After a while, a soldier came in and brought a document signed by the emperor, which clearly stated that as long as the Qilian Mountain of the Moon Shooting Clan was willing to surrender unconditionally, the Xinghua Empire would guarantee the safety of the Qilian Mountain of the Moon Shooting Clan. After the officer finished reading the document in front of Kiritou, he handed it to Kiri.

Tong's hands trembled uncontrollably, he held this document with the emperor's seal, and the surprise and excitement in his heart was indescribable. In fact, he was only half sure of the outcome of the negotiations with the Xinghua Army on this trip, but he was willing to try his best for the peace of his people's life. For Tong, the best result is to get a truce guarantee from the commander of the Xinghua Army.

Unexpectedly, what he got in the end was a handwritten imperial book from the Emperor of the Xinghua Empire, which was far beyond his expectations.

It's just that the excitement of the moment also made Tong inevitably ignore a detail, why did he get the emperor's documents so quickly? If he thought of this, maybe he could guess that the emperor's majesty was at the scene at this time, it would probably make him even more frightened.

"Your Majesty, why did you give him a certificate?" Yan En asked Yi Xingchen for the question in his heart with some confusion. In fact, in Yan En's opinion, he also felt that His Majesty's actions seemed to be a little too solemn. If the people of the Moon Shooting Clan are really willing to surrender, then even if the Xinghua Empire does not give any written proof, isn't it enough to give just a verbal guarantee?

"As the emperor of the empire, shouldn't you give your subjects a safe and reliable guarantee?" Yi Xingchen didn't care, and responded very lightly. Hearing this, Yan En realized.

"Your Majesty!" the officers on the side also replied in unison.
