Zhao Hao originally wanted to learn from Xue Manbu to annex the surrounding tribes and continue to grow himself, but as a result, he found a very embarrassing problem, that is, there was basically no way in the wild jungle, and if he wanted to go to other tribes, he basically had to go over the mountains and mountains.

That guy didn't walk for a while, ten days and half a month was considered less, and it was not uncommon to walk for a month, two months, or even three months.

How long would it take him to go over and annex the other tribes?

It is very likely that one tribe will have to consume him for several months or even half a year, and more than a dozen tribes, that is, five or six years or even ten years!

Will Xue Manbu give him so much time to develop?

Obviously, no.

Therefore, he wanted to find a relatively large tribe first, annex it, and raise his strength as soon as possible to a level similar to that of Hou Tumeng of Wanhu in the western wing of Xue Man's department.

As for whether there is such a tribe, you still have to ask Cangwu.

Unexpectedly, Cangwu quickly thought of such a tribe.

Zhao Hao immediately asked, "What is the name of this tribe, and how far is it from here?" ”

Cangwu recalled: "This tribe is called the Qinghe Tribe, and it is about twenty days away from here. ”

Zhao Hao asked again: "How many people are there in this Qinghe Tribe, and what is the strength of its leader?" ”

Cang Wu said with a strange face: "There are about two thousand people in the Qinghe Tribe, and I heard that its leader, Amu, has died. ”

Its leader, Amu, is dead!

This is a fatal blow to a tribe, but it is great news for Zhao Hao.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is its leader, Auntie, dead?" Are you sure? Do you know how to die? ”

Cangwu sighed: "This should be true, I heard that when it was almost winter last year, Qinghe's mother had to take the young man of the clan to hunt in an unfamiliar place in order to prepare enough meat, and as a result, he encountered a saber-toothed tiger foraging, in order to protect the young man in the clan and escaped, Qinghe Auntie only stepped forward to block the saber-toothed tiger, and as a result, was bitten to death by the saber-toothed tiger. ”

This is really miserable!

Zhao Hao sighed, and then asked, "Then who is the leader of the Qinghe Department now, and what is his strength?" ”

Cang Wu estimated and said: "It should be Ah Shui, the daughter of Qinghe's mother, because Qinghe's mother is this one daughter." Ah Shui, this little girl, is younger than Ah Yue, she should only be seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and in terms of strength, it is estimated that she will be at most a thousand catties, because there is a strange fruit tree in Qinghe, and at her age, she can only eat a strange fruit at most. ”

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl has only a thousand pounds of strength, and that's not a dish!

Zhao Hao immediately clapped his hands and said: "That's it, what is the general location of the Qinghe Department, have you been there?" ”

Cang Wu said without thinking: "The Qinghe Department is just west of my Black Stone Department, I have naturally been there, even Ah Yue has been there." ”

Zhao Hao subconsciously said: "Ah Yue has also been there, why haven't you heard her mention it?" ”

Cang Wu sighed slightly: "Ah Yue has been to a lot of tribes, but later, I asked her to go to the salt department to change salt, and she rarely went to other tribes, maybe, the time is too long, she can't remember it clearly." ”

Well, that's possible.

Zhao Hao immediately got up and said, "Since Ah Yue has been there, then I won't bother you to lead the way, I'll go back and ask Ah Yue first." ”

With that, he turned and walked quickly to his temporary residence in the Black Rock Division.

At this time, Ah Yue and Ah Yun were discussing in the house whether to go back to the bamboo forest to see Meng Lan and Meng Bao, as soon as Ah Yun saw him come in, he came up and hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Husband, why don't we go back to the bamboo forest, I haven't seen Meng Lan and Meng Bao for a long time, I miss them." ”

Well, this, it stands to reason that they should go back to the bamboo forest, in order to be busy dealing with the affairs of Xue Man's department, they haven't been back for a long time, and they don't know what happened to the two goods.

Zhao Hao was a little embarrassed and said: "This, I still have some things, otherwise, let's go back to the bamboo forest in a few days." ”

When Ah Yun heard this, he couldn't help but pout, obviously a little unhappy.

Ah Yue said very sensibly: "Husband, what else is there, do you want us to help?" ”

Zhao Hao immediately nodded and said: "I really want your help in this matter, how to go to the Qinghe Ministry, do you remember?" ”

When Ah Yue heard this, she nodded without thinking: "Remember, if you go west from here, for more than twenty days, you will see a cyan river, and you will reach the Qinghe Department by walking south for about half a day along the cyan river." What's the matter, you have something to do with Qinghebu? ”

A blue river?

It turns out that this is how the name of the Qinghe Department came about.

So, why are rivers cyan?

This question is not very important, Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Yes, I want to go to the Qinghe Department to have a look, I heard that Qinghe's mother has passed away, I want to see if they need help, after all, without a master, it is difficult for a tribe to survive in the wilderness." ”

He didn't want to tell Ah Yun and Ah Yue that he wanted to annex the Qinghe Ministry.

This kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is the law of the jungle, which is normal for men, but a little too cruel for women.

When Ah Yue heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Qinghe's mother has passed away!" This, how can a little girl in Ah Shui feed so many people? ”

This issue will not be discussed.

Zhao Hao directly led the topic and said: "Do you mean to go to Qinghebu from here all the way to the west?" If that's the case, can we take a detour from the grassland on horseback? ”

If you can make a detour from the grassland, it will be much faster, and it is very likely that you will be able to reach the Qinghe Department in a day or two!

Ah Yue glanced at him with a strange face, then looked at Ah Yun on the side, and then estimated: "It should be possible, but we haven't been to the grassland further west from here, and I don't know if this grassland will extend all the way to the Qinghe Department." ”

This is indeed a problem, because the Salt Department has always explored in the middle of the grassland, that is to say, the exploration range of the Salt Department is roughly in the north, and they have not had time to explore the west.

It's not a big deal, though.

Zhao Hao thought for a while, and then muttered: "Otherwise, let's go back to the bamboo forest first, and then take Bailong and Baixue to the western grassland to explore, what do you say?" ”

"Okay!"

When Ah Yun heard this, she couldn't help jumping up happily, for her, as long as she could go back to the bamboo forest, even if she just went back to see it, it was good to leave.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then got up and went to Cangwu to say goodbye.

The three of them crossed the Black Stone Ridge all the way, and soon came to the temporary camp set up by the Salt Department in the valley.

This is where Zhao Hao used to escape or convey orders to the Ministry of Salt in order to prevent accidents, and the white dragon and its harem rested here.

The three of them rode the white dragon and led a group of beautiful mares all the way out of the canyon along the river, and then ran east for about an hour before they came to the temporary gathering place of the salt department, that is, by the small river that went to the bamboo forest.

The reason why the people of the Yan tribe gathered here was also specially arranged by Zhao Hao, because he had also considered what to do if the army of the Xue Manbu did not attack the city, if that was the case, he could only take the young man of the Yan tribe to sneak attack from behind, and the Black Stone Department would be attacked from both sides.

Fortunately, he was not forced to use this trick.

The three of them returned triumphantly, and the mother was naturally happy, and after a long conversation, Zhao Hao took a tent and took Ah Yun and Ah Yue straight to the bamboo forest.

What happened to Menglan and Mengbao?

In fact, when they are not there, their mother often goes to dig some bamboo shoots for them, send some goat milk or something, these two goods are moisturized, and Mengbao is even as tall as its mother Menglan at this time.

This guy, as soon as the three of them rode the white dragon into the bamboo forest, two big meat dumplings rushed towards them with joy, which was called a mountain shaking!
