Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 28
When motivation matches behavior, no one thinks about it more, it is possible that it is intentional, inducing your thoughts? This is also the greatest weakness of human nature, allowing yourself to deceive yourself...
After being silent for a long time, Jin Li waited quietly on the side.
"By the way, who saved you today?"
"Hui Yu patriarch, Xiao Lang is very brave, with a white ape, very psychic, I heard him say that he is from the Lin tribe, called Mu San."
"The Lin tribe, is it the Lin clan that was wiped out by the Taiyun tribe?"
Jin Cheng's eyes lit up, he immediately straightened up, and when he saw Jin Li nodding, he immediately asked:
"What is he here for?"
"Judging from the armor and weapons he described, he must have come to find traces of his tribe, and he may not know why the tribe was exterminated?"
Oh? Maybe you can make a fuss about it, Jin Cheng has a plan in his heart, and he needs to plan it well.
"Ali, do you think we should tell him the truth of the matter?"
"Ah, it's up to the patriarch to decide..."
"You go, tell me to go down, I must be good at entertaining this Lin family's Mu San, and bring him to see me at night."
At this time in Jin Li's home, Jin Chen was playing with the spirit ape, he didn't disturb Mu San's meditation, and he did something just now, but he couldn't bear the loneliness and couldn't persevere.
The Jin tribe has never been stingy with foreign guests, and Jin Chen went to get it, because there was a special explanation from the patriarch, so this large portion of food was much better than usual, the spirit ape was already hungry, and couldn't wait to take it, and without waiting for Mu San to come over, he ate a lot, which made Jin Chen laugh on the side.
Mu San actually couldn't calm down all the time, he was worried and worried, no matter how good the delicacy was, he had no appetite, so he could only press his mind and wait patiently for Jin Li's return.
Jin Li didn't let Mu San wait too long, and when it was about to get dark, he also returned home and brought him back good news.
Mu San's heart is temporarily put down, but the contradiction has increased, both thinking and fearing, those who have not been afraid will not have hope, what should come will always come, and what will come will be safe.
That night, Mu San followed Jin Li to meet the patriarch, Jin Li introduced him more enthusiastically along the way, and invisibly did not make him feel angry, but unfortunately he was always distracted and didn't listen much.
The two walked into the tribal hall, Mu San came back to his senses, and respectfully saluted the patriarch, there were only three people in the entire hall, which seemed empty.
"What did Xiao Lang say when he saw me?"
Jin Cheng broke the situation first, and saw that Mu San took a deep breath, his expression was obviously not as nervous as he was at the beginning, and he nodded in praise secretly.
"The juniors meet the patriarch,"
No matter how anxious you are, you can't lose etiquette, which is also the basic literacy that the master asked him to learn, and the etiquette comes with a heroic and righteous spirit.
"The younger generation asked to see him today, and the patriarch was very knowledgeable, and there was a special thing to ask the patriarch to help identify which tribe he came from."
"Xiaolang doesn't need to be polite, you and my people have the grace to save their lives, and the old man will definitely do his best to help."
Jin Cheng said a few words without leakage, although Mu San did not say all of them, but with a heart to calculate whether he had a heart or not, he had already figured out all his thoughts in a few words, and he didn't notice it at all, I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy.
After looking at the long sword handed over by Mu San, Jin Cheng pretended to look at it, his expression was very surprised,
"This is the mark of the Taiyun tribe, such a big clan as the Taiyun tribe has always been very strict with weapons, where did Xiaolang find it?"
Finally got a clue, Mu San's impatient expression could no longer be hidden,
"Where should the Taiyun tribe go? The kid has something important to ask. ”
"Xiao Lang, don't worry, recently there happened to be Mr. Taiyun Guike Shangtong as a guest in our people, and I can introduce you on my behalf."
It's a coincidence or not, luck is not necessarily lucky, it may also be a man-made coincidence, but unfortunately Mu San can't think of this layer now.
"It's just that it's getting late today, Xiaolang will go back to rest first, and tomorrow the old man will personally invite the distinguished guests to come."
Mu San also understands that at this time, it is not good to disturb the guests to rest, and he is also a guest, he can't do it casually, and there is no need to rush when he has clues, relatively speaking, he simply believes in beauty, and has not experienced too much complexity of people's hearts.
"The great kindness of the patriarch, the kid is toothless and unforgettable,"
"With a gesture, Xiaolang doesn't have to worry about it, please rest first."
Mu San obeyed the arrangement of his master's family, bowed and retired, not noticing anything wrong. A simple meeting, the words were not leaky, there were no flaws, which not only solved Mu San's problem, but also brought a turnaround to his tribe, Jin Cheng was in a good mood, but when Mu San turned around and went out, he gave Jin Li a full look, Jin Li of course read this look, because he could understand the patriarch's heart.
Calculated carefully, the patriarch Jin Cheng is not a scheming person, he has heard about the situation of the Lin family for a long time, and he has regretted it for a while, this era is like this, and his Jin tribe has no right to speak.
Now all his starting points are to protect the clan, Mu San's appearance is a godsend, which can relatively divert the attention of the other party, but also catch the other party off guard, he doesn't dare to give up the opportunity, and he can't give up, even if he is an ungrateful person.
Shang Tong and Ben Sha's step by step pressing, so that the last trace of hesitation in Jin Li's heart also disappeared, and he could only use the disaster of the Lin clan to win some precious respite for the tribe, so he had to watch Mu San these days, and he couldn't let him come into contact with Shang Tong and others privately, of course, he had to hide from Jin Chen's kid, if he knew, that jealous and hateful character could poke out a big basket, he was still too young, his personality was too straight, and Jin Li instantly had a way to deal with it in his heart.
Everyone has their own script in their hearts, but the result does not necessarily follow the plot they set.
Just like Mu San, he hopes to meet with the Taiyun people as soon as possible and find the answer, so he can only wait patiently; Jin Cheng and Jin Li wanted to avoid meeting as much as possible, and they had to slowly reveal this big case of extermination, what they hoped was to create contradictions between the two sides and avoid disasters for the clansmen, so they could only have such an inauthentic behavior; Shang Tong thought differently, what he hoped was to pull the Jin tribe onto his warship as soon as possible, make great contributions in front of the patriarch, and seek glory and wealth for himself, so he would use everything he could use and didn't care about the means.
That night, in the dead of night, many dexterous figures in and out of the Jin tribe, do not shy away, do not dodge, multiple eyeliners report separately, exchange fire, many people are destined to sleep tonight, everything until dawn has its own decision.
In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just bright, a loud horn sounded through the sky, in this quiet mountain forest, it was particularly harsh, the horn sound was not a good sign, Mu San turned over, the person had already gotten up and got out of bed, and was about to go out to see, Jin Chen had already pushed the door in,
"Third Brother Mu, something has happened in the clan, don't go out yet, I'll accompany you."
Mu San nodded, and through the crack in the door, he could see that there were two guards standing outside the door at some point, their swords unsheathed, and their expressions were serious.
"Where's Big Brother Jinli? What happened? ”
"I don't know the specifics, Brother Jin Li has already gone to the clan to deal with affairs, and he asked me to come over to accompany you, for fear of affecting you."
From time to time, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door, I hope it wasn't a big incident, Mu San touched his nose in wonder, and the spirit ape just glanced up, continued to close his eyes, and fell asleep.
At this time, the Jin tribe hall was more complete than yesterday, and a group of people were all standing around a headless corpse lying on the ground, the blood had already dried up, and it was very miserable.
"Patriarch, please call the shots for the elder of the Golden Moon Clan, it must have been the Golden Skin who collaborated with them to murder the elder of the Golden Moon Clan."
"Fart, the puppet is so rude..."
Gympie and the others were about to roll up their sleeves and fight.
"Alright, all stop,"
Jin Cheng had never encountered this situation, although he knew that the two parties were not in line with him before, and it was also the result of his intentional connivance, but he didn't expect things to develop to this point, the old man of the Jinyue clan was suddenly killed, it was really unexpected, and he had not recovered from the shock.
Goldskin's motive is the most obvious, he has to suspect that this group of people did it, yesterday the two of them went toe-for-tat, eager to eat each other, today such a thing happened, it is really difficult not to make people suspicious, but the Goldskin clan is usually a good person, should not do such a thing, could it be that his subordinates did it behind his back?
The more people who think they are smart, the easier it is to fall into the dead circle of thinking, and they can't jump out easily, and now Jin Cheng is like this, he has always thought that it was the intensification of the contradictions between the two sides that led to the killing of the old Jinyue clan, and ignored what was the reason for the intensification of the contradictions between the two.
What makes him even more anxious is that he is not sure of his mind now, one side has been identified as the murderer, the other side wants to prove his innocence, and one is not careful, which may lead to the division of the entire tribe.
In the end, to do it or not, what to do, and what to say if you don't do it? It's tricky, it's really dead and uneasy!
"The death of the elder of the Jinyue clan is very sad, as the head of the clan, I must find out and give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Please Patriarch severely punish Jinpi and the others,"
"Please call the shots of the patriarch..."
"Please see the patriarch, it must be a villain who framed him,"
"Please return the old innocence of the Golden Skin Clan..."
The two sides still do not give in to each other, and there is a tendency for the patriarch to draw his sword against each other if he does not obey.
Jin Cheng only now feels that there will really be a situation of forcing the palace, everyone is not here to listen to these useless nonsense, it is useless to express determination, he used to be too indulgent, and when there was a problem between the two parties, it was from the middle and the mud, which led to the current situation, and he used to be complacent and thought that this was a successful balancing technique, but now he knows that he was very wrong.
Without majesty, how can you still be considered a patriarch.
"Enough, above the hall, what kind of system, no matter how noisy it is, I'll be kicked out."
Jin Cheng took out the patriarch's momentum, which was still very scary, and the hall was much quieter in an instant, but everyone's expressions were indeed suppressed disbelief.
"Ali, what do you think?"
Although Jin Li has been out of the world just now, he is always thinking, of course he doesn't believe that it was the old Jinpi clan who did it, not only believe in his personality, think about it, a slightly smarter person would not do this, but he can't get rid of it, because it is indeed possible that his subordinates did it.
