Chapter 217: The Tragedy Caused by a Watermelon Knife (2)
I don't know if it's because of the stimulation of low-quality alcohol, or because of the failure of the match.
In short, after a short period of shock, Shang Yi, the caravan leader of the Qingshang tribe, had already turned red into a pig's liver-like color on his face.
For the unsuccessful outfit, there is also a peek in the heart of the big green leggings.
Let him drink himself another half bowl of turbid wine, and his heart will turn.
He made such a proposal: "Chief, since everyone's interest is so high tonight, why don't we both come out with the treasure knife we gave ourselves, and give it a try?"
"If my bronze sword loses, then give you a standard rattan basket of salt, and five jars of turbid wine, and if your watermelon knife loses, your big green shin will lose to me. ”
The reason why it is to propose such a big gamble is that there is naturally enough confidence in the discussion.
The main thing is that he looked at the leader of the raccoon dog, although the snowy watermelon treasure knife was sharp, it was only so thin.
He didn't think that his thistle, a bronze treasure knife from the Central Plains, was no match for a strange watermelon knife from such a poor place in the southwest region.
So, wait until after he wins.
It will definitely go back with that big green shin coat and give it to the noble young merchant of the tribe to wear.
Then his loyalty will definitely be rewarded by the young merchants, and maybe he will be able to take charge of the large-scale trade route that has more oil and water to and from the Central Plains from now on.
However, although Shang Yiren is not stupid, how stupid would the raccoon dog be if he is the leader of a medium-sized tribe?
The leader of the raccoon also has enough confidence in the watermelon knife in his hand.
At the Shangsi Festival trade fair that day, the gray rabbit coveted the goods with two watermelon knives and a pair of leggings at a heavy price, and exchanged them for six slaves of all ages and children from the hands of their pomelo cat tribe.
As soon as the deal was completed, the leader raccoon wielded a watermelon knife and chopped wood, pieces of meat, bones, and many other things.
Thanks to the owner of the two-dollar shop in the modern plane, I don't know where he bought the watermelon knife, and the material used is actually the best stainless steel.
Even the thickness of the blade is slightly thicker than that of ordinary watermelon knives.
didn't let the leader of the raccoon dog toss the newly acquired toy into two pieces, and even had the strong confidence to compete with the bronze knife that was several times thicker.
Of course, before agreeing to the fight, it did not prevent the leader of the raccoon dog, and added one more condition to the bet:
"Counselor leader, you are really good eyesight, my leggings are more precious than watermelon knives, I am not afraid to tell you, even the big people like the red cypress only have two, not the big green ones like me. ”
"So, if you're willing to add a bundle of sackcloth, I'll bet with you. ”
"Okay! ”
Even if he had enough confidence in his treasure sword, but because of the huge value of a bundle of linen, Shang Yi still hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and agreeing.
When he agreed, there was an inexplicable trace of fear in his heart:
If you wait for your own bronze treasure knife, in case you lose to the other party's watermelon knife, then this trip to the business will be considered a big loss......
The method of the competition between the two sides is definitely quite simple and clear.
Shang Yi and the leader of the raccoon dogs, each picked up their cherished treasure knives and fought each other hard in the air, and the so-called competition was over.
As for the outcome of the competition, it depends on whose sword is directly cut off under communication.
If both knives are not broken, then it depends on who has a bigger gap in the blade of the sword, then whoever loses the bet.
Life in the primitive plane is always so boring and monotonous.
Often, like tonight, I can drink a few sips of the rare turbid wine on weekdays, and by the way, provoke these women, which is already a rare pastime and enjoyment for the caravan guards and the hunters of the pomelo tribe.
Not to mention, this kind of contest involves a sword and a huge bet.
It made these natives under the stimulation of alcohol extremely fanatical for a while.
Soon hundreds of people were gathered around, waiting for the competition to begin.
And their wait did not last long, and after the leaders of the two sides stood face to face, they soon let out a loud shout.
Then, with their most powerful right arm, they swung the sword in their hand and slashed at each other's sword.
After the crisp sound of 'dang~', everyone from the caravan of the Qingshang tribe was colorless, and the hunters of the pomelo tribe cheered loudly in their mouths.
Because this time under the full swing of the two of them, the bronze knife in Shang Yi's hand was broken.
It was the watermelon knife in the hands of the leader raccoon, although it broke a hole in the blade of the boss, but no matter what, the watermelon knife was not broken.
"Don't worry, when it's time to trade tomorrow, I'll give you the bet together. ”
Shang Yi, who sat back after a few years of dwarf, said with an indifferent expression, showing that such a small bet was not a problem at all for the wealthy Qingshang tribe.
It's just that in his heart, he has to be distressed and bleeding at this moment.
The treasure knife was broken, and he lost such a large amount of bets, and he didn't know how to explain to the noble young merchant lord in the tribe when he went back this time.
Full of bitterness, he could only drink the turbid wine in the bowl to soothe a little pain in his heart.
But after all, Shang Ye has already joined the caravan of the tribe after he became an adult, and even as the leader of a caravan, he has been working hard for more than ten years.
So above the city government, he still has a considerable level.
After drinking a bowl of wine, he managed to suppress his ugly face.
Not only did I grasp the key to this question, but I also asked the question that I was most concerned about:
"Raccoon Chief, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to reveal it here, where do these treasures called leggings and watermelon treasure knives come from?"
After winning, whether it is in the inside or in the face, there is a leader raccoon.
Naturally, they didn't dare to offend too much, the caravan leaders of the Qingshang tribe, how to say that they could make a lot of money by distributing the caravan materials every year.
After hearing this, he said, "I don't know if Leader Shang Yi has heard of it, a gray rabbit tribe of ours here." ”
"The Grey Rabbit Tribe. After hearing this name, Shang Yi was at a loss.
When the leader saw this, he said again: "If you look at it this way, you should even connect with the Huaxia tribe as the leader of Shang Yi, then you have never heard of it." ”
After satisfying his appetite, the leader told him all the information he knew.
And after the Shangsi Festival, the hilarious feud between the Tough Bone Tribe and the Gray Rabbit Tribe is no longer a secret, at least for the tribal leaders of them, it is not a secret at all.
Even these, he told Shang Yi as a joke.
In the end, the leader of the raccoon laughed gloatingly:
"The Tough Bone Tribe is in trouble now, even if there is a witch in charge, it is difficult to say whether the Grey Rabbit Tribe can guarantee the maintenance of the size of a medium-sized tribe, and if they don't, they have sworn in the name of the Spirit of the Ancestors. ”
Hearing this, Shang Yi was also unspeakably relieved in his heart......
The next morning, after completing the transaction with the Pomelo Cat Tribe, the caravan of the Qingshang Tribe set off again.
It's just that after walking out of the territory of the Yumao tribe, which is about dozens of miles away, before a three-way intersection, Shang Yi issued an order:
"Go to the left, let's go to the Gauntone Tribe first. ”
When the caravan guards heard this, they felt a little strange in their hearts, but because of Shang Yi's great prestige, they still changed the direction of their advance.
In Shang Yi's heart, he was already thinking about how to befriend that tough bone witch and at what price to let them set out to attack the Gray Rabbit tribe.
In fact, no matter how much it costs, Shang also knows that as long as he returns with a lot of loot.
Even if all the materials of the caravan are given to the Tough Bone Tribe, the profits from their caravan's trade this time will be unprecedentedly rich.
As for the trivial matter of him losing a little bit of gambling money, Qing Shangqi will not pursue it, but will reward him heavily.
