113 - The purpose of the Montenegrin tribe
Seeing this undercover brother again, Ji Thief just felt a little festive, so he smiled and asked, "I don't know what happened when my brother came?" I remember that it was time to pay the prey after three days. ”
The undercover brother smiled and waved his hand, but he said very well: "Don't be nervous, I came here this time with an order from our great patriarch, and I have something to tell you." ”
"Is there something to tell me?" asked the thief at first, a little confused.
The undercover brother nodded: "Yes, the patriarch said that in the future, I will not come to your tribe to collect prey." ”
Usma was overjoyed: "That means, we don't have to hand in our prey?"
Ji Thief was not as optimistic as Usma, so he naturally wouldn't believe that the Black Mountain tribe would have such a good heart.
Sure enough, after listening to Usma's words, the undercover brother frowned and glanced at him: "What do you want? The patriarch means that he will not come to your tribe to collect the prey, but let you take the prey to our Black Mountain tribe." ”
Usma was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
The undercover brother shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, the patriarch said that in three days, take all your clansmen and send the prey, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite." ”
Saying that, he was about to leave, but the thief hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, brother, what is the reason, you can tell me." ”
The undercover brother tilted his head to look at the thief, looked left and right, and lowered his voice and said: "I don't know too much about the specifics, but the people who will go to our tribe in three days are not only you one of the Frost Valley tribes, but also other tribes in its mountain range." ”
After saying that, the undercover brother left directly.
After the others left, the thief frowned.
Usma asked the thief, "Lord Warrior, what do you mean by the Black Mountain Tribe? They don't come to our tribe to hunt, but let us send them over, are they so lazy?"
Ji Thief shook his head: "Go back first, let everyone gather." ”
Usma nodded hurriedly.
The two returned to the valley, closed the wooden door, gathered the tribesmen, and sat in a group under the shade of the tree, and Usma told the Black Mountain tribe what it wanted.
As the words fell, the witch was the first to ask, "Let's go to their tribe, what does this mean, do you want to kill us all?"
Ji Thief shook his head: "Not sure." ”
The old patriarch immediately said, "Then you must not go like this." ”
"Could it be that the Black Mountain tribe has discovered something? The fat elder's question was still so sharp that his words fell, and everyone fell silent.
"Warrior, are we still going?" asked Ah Liang weakly.
Ji Thief lowered his head and couldn't stop remembering, and suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his head: "I understand." ”
And all the people looked at him.
The thief asked Usma, "Do you remember what the Montenegrin said?" ”
Hearing this, Usma raised his head and recalled in his mind what the undercover brother had said, and went through it in his heart one by one, and at the end, he muttered to himself: "He also said that we should go to their tribe, and there is nothing else." ”
Ji Thief shook his head: "No, there is." ”
The witch was anxious: "Warrior, what the hell is it, you can say it." ”
Ji Thief took a deep breath and said, "That Montenegrin tribe said that not only our tribe is going to their Montenegrin tribe. ”
Everyone: "???"
Usma aha: "I remember, that guy said that in addition to our tribe, there are other tribes that are also going to their Black Mountain tribe. ”
"Other tribes, warriors, what the hell is going on?"
"What's going on? Do you need to ask? It's already an obvious fact. Ji Thief said, lowering his voice: "The Black Mountain tribe used the spear thrower, and in just over ten days, conquered most of the tribes, if I guessed correctly, three days later, it is likely that those conquered tribes will go to the Black Mountain tribe." ”
"Are the Black Hills trying to kill everyone?" exclaimed the witch.
Ji Thief thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I think the Black Mountain tribe may have tasted the sweetness from us, and wants other tribes to follow us and pay tribute for their prey." ”
"Is it possible?"
"I'm not sure, but at the moment this is the most likely, of course, it is not ruled out that we have exposed ourselves and provoked the murderous intent of the Montenegrin tribe. Ji Thief said.
"Then we must not go. The old patriarch said.
Ji Thief said: "If you don't go, the Montenegrin tribe will have an excuse to attack us, and now is not the time to start a war with the Montenegrin tribe, and, if it is really the same as I guessed, the Montenegrin tribe must go." ”
"Why?"
"Unite with other tribes, increase the strength in our hands, and when the time is ripe, launch a general attack on the Black Mountain tribe!" Ji Thief clenched his fists and said.
The others were also instigated by Ji Thief's words, but after calming down, they shook their heads: "No. ”
"The Black Mountain tribe is so powerful, what if the other tribes don't agree?Besides, we can't let the warrior you risk going to the Black Mountain tribe, if you don't have it, the Frost Valley tribe will be finished. The old patriarch said solemnly.
It seemed that he had expected the old patriarch to say this, and the thief took a deep breath: "Patriarch, wealth and wealth are in danger, originally our current situation is close to zero if we want to defeat the Black Mountain tribe, such a good opportunity, if you don't grasp it, you will be damned." ”
"That's not good, if you are gone, what is the difference between the Frost Valley Tribe and the extinction?" the old patriarch said stubbornly.
The witch and the fat elder also held the same opinion, both of them did not allow the thief to go to the Black Mountain tribe.
"If we don't go, we'll die, if we go, even if I am killed, the Black Mountain tribe will think that the people I brought over are the last Frost Valley tribesmen, if we die." Patriarch, you can still lead the clansmen to better development, no matter what, it is a profitable and loss-making deal, so why not do it?"
"But, but..."
Ji Thief said: "That's it, patriarch, why don't we vote?"
"Vote?"
"Yes, I'm in favor of going. ”
Usma also raised her hand: "I believe that Lord Warrior will never go wrong. ”
Ah Niu and Ah Liang said the same: "We also believe that the Warrior Lord will not make a mistake. ”
Ji Thief looked at the old patriarch, the witch, and the fat elder, and said, "Four votes against three, I won." ”
Seeing this, the old patriarch still did not give up: "But, but warrior, you must ensure that you can come back alive, otherwise, I will never allow you to go." ”
Ji Thief nodded: "Don't worry, patriarch, I cherish my life." ”
As soon as the words fell, the blade-toothed tiger came over to him, holding the animal skin on the thief's body with his mouth and gently tugging it.
The witch's eyes lit up: "Yes, warrior, you can go with the Bladetooth Tiger, so that even if the Black Mountain tribe has any bad ideas, you can run out." ”
"No, to the Black Mountain tribe, I've already said that the Bladetooth Tiger is dead. ”
"That..."
Ji Thief thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will let the Bladetooth Tiger stay outside the Black Mountain Tribe, and if there is any accident, you can also come to pick me up, how about it?"
The old patriarch, the witch and the fat elder glanced at each other, and they all knew that they couldn't persuade the thief, so they had to say, "Okay then." ”
While saying these words, the three of them were thinking in their hearts about how to save the thief if something happened to him.
There is no doubt that now, in the mind of the old patriarch, he has put the thief above all the clansmen.
I don't know when, in the old patriarch's heart, there is already a fact in his heart that he can't believe when he says it.
That is, as long as there is a thief, the Frost Valley tribe will never perish.
Glancing back at the witch and seeing that she was also clenched with a resolute face, the old patriarch knew that he and the witch had thought of going together.
Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to prepare.
Three days were safe and sound, on this day, on the day of setting off for the Black Mountain Tribe, the thief woke up early, with thirty antelopes, ten wild boars, and a team of ten people including Achi who insisted on going with the thief, appeared at the mouth of the valley.
