Chapter Twenty-Four: The Storm Rises
"Father, as you expected, those who went to the territory of the ghost side were not Wuheng people at all."
In the tent of the Soto tribe, Nitri said to the burly middle-aged man in front of her.
The scene in front of her was Nitri reporting to Soto's great chieftain, her father, Zaga, about the situation of the Li tribe. It is also a coincidence that the first transaction between the Li clan and Wuheng was met by Nitli on the road, and that time he was mixed up by Badr and successfully escaped, which did not arouse Nitley's suspicion.
However, Nitri, who couldn't stay idle, chased the bandits to Daliang Mountain again, and happened to meet the Li team who went to trade again. This time aroused Nitley's suspicion, in Nitley's impression, Wu Heng's business will only be done once a month, this time it is less than half a month from the last time, Wu Heng is a business again, which arouses Nitri's suspicion. During this period of time, in order to save strength, the Li people have frequently traded with Wuheng, which is an extremely abnormal thing in this Yidi. As the saying goes, often walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet.
Suspicious, Nitri sent people to follow the Li all the way, only to find that the Li disappeared after entering a valley. Nitri immediately reported the matter to her father after returning to the clan, but Zaga asserted that it was not the Wuheng people who came out of the territory of the ghost side, so she appointed her own right-hand man, her daughter Nitri, to find out the matter. Sure enough, 5 days later, Nitley found the Li team that came to trade, so after finding out the situation, Nitley came to report the situation, and the above scene was born.
"So who is going to the ghost side?"
The middle-aged man's Nitri's father, Zaga, looked up and asked his daughter below suspiciously, expecting the other party to give an answer.
"The team that came out of the territory of the Ghost Fang to trade with Wuheng is a member of the Li clan of the Ghost Fang's territory. They thought they were doing something hidden, and they even changed their clothes when they came out to trade, but I followed them all the way and saw them enter the Li station. By the way, father, the Li people also built a village, and it seems that the Li people have already made plans. ”
"In the future, follow and investigate these things, and you can send someone casually." After Zaga finished speaking, he was silent, and after a long time, he spoke: "Don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, I heard that Bai Tong has recently been investigating the traitors of the ghost side for leaking war preparations, so in this way, the ghost side has not noticed the real hidden problems of the ghost side, what a bunch of fools." That's good, all we have to do now is push the ghost side when it's about to explode and plunge him into the abyss. ”
"Father, this time we have formed an alliance with the ghost side to attack Wuheng, if we let the ghost side fall apart, how will we compete with Wuheng in the future." Nitri has been smart since she was a child and understands what her father meant, but the three forces on the land of Dongyi have checked and balanced each other since ancient times, and if one force disappears, it will definitely break the balance of the past, so Nitri kindly reminded her father.
"Those old stubborn people of the Wu clan are pretentious, thinking that they are gods who have come down to save sentient beings, hmph, they are just a good baby. If it weren't for the Wu Clan's ancestors occupying the lower reaches of the Fushui River and bordering the Southern Kingdom, they Wu Hengyan would have such strength. If we don't go to war, those pretentious people in Wuheng will not dare to go against their ancestral teachings and go to war without permission. As for Bai Yan's white-eyed wolf, I have long seen that he is unhappy, a person who killed his father-in-law and seized the throne, what kind of warrior is he. If I hadn't needed him, how could I have been in the company of such a treacherous villain. ”
"So, father, what do I need to do?"
Zaga looked at his daughter with a regretful gaze, and thought: What a smart child, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a woman, but the Soto tribe is not all in my hands, and the succession is due to the old immortal of the elder group, and I can't let my good daughter get her wish.
There was a pity in his heart, Zhaga always knew the obsession in his daughter's heart. "After the war between the ghost side and Wuheng, the ghost side should also know about this matter, and before that, you even need to try your best to help the Li clan hide this matter."
"My daughter knows."
"Alright, good boy, you go first."
Nitri walked out of her father's tent and met a young man walking in front of her, and Nitri walked over in ignorance. "Sister, when you meet your eldest brother, you don't say hello, it's so rude." Nitri continues to ignore the man, and the man who is being ignored seems to be insulted.
"Is it useful to please my father again? Even if the father agreed, the elders wouldn't agree. The man laughed when he saw Nitri turn around and glared at him, looking heartless. What are you happy about, have you forgotten that you still have a good brother, and what does the position of patriarch have to do with you. Nitley, who was told that she was sore about it, said something mocking to the man in front of her.
Nitri has 2 older brothers, the eldest brother is called Zal, and the second brother is called Zab, and the one in front of her is Nitley's eldest brother Zal. "Hmph, that's how your father taught you to talk to your brother?" Zar seems to have been told the sore spot by Nitley, so he takes out a brother's shelf and tries to teach Nitri a lesson.
"So, did my father teach his brother to ridicule his own sister?"
Zar, who was speechless by Nitley's refutation, played his own tricks, played a scoundrel, and called his own sister without his brother in his eyes, without any politeness.
"What's the noise, has it been enough, it's not enough to be ashamed, the dignified Soto man has no other skills, is there only shouting left?" Zaga thought that the two brothers and sisters would fight a few words and leave, but they didn't expect that Zhar's rebellious son yelled in front of his tent, provoking all the onlookers of the clan, and was extremely embarrassed, Zaga came out helplessly and angrily denounced to stop this farce.
"What else do you watch, do you have nothing to do?" The onlookers saw the angry patriarch and ran away quickly. "And the two of you, do you have nothing to do, what to do, what to do." Looking at his son and daughter who left, Zaga was worried.
Zaga's eldest son, Zhal, was the proud son of heaven and was favored by the whole clan, and Zaga, who was a new father at that time, was naturally very fond of his first son, so he developed this delicate temperament today. After Zaga realized that he had made a mistake in teaching, he taught his children strictly, but the eldest son's temperament had been cultivated and his nature was difficult to change, so he became more and more disappointed in Zhal. Zar, who was left out in the cold, became even more violent, and shouted when anything didn't go his way. Fortunately, the second son and the youngest daughter were taught by Zaga to be very talented, so they comforted Zaga, otherwise Zhar, the rebel, would have killed Zaga alive.
In the Ghost Fang Tribe, in the council hall, the lights are bright.
"Doru, what are you eating, the traitor hasn't found out yet, I think you're too old, and you can't do anything."
Dolu, who sat down, trembled all over, hurriedly got up with one arm and bowed his head to his chest, and said, "Great Chief, please give me some more time, I will definitely find out the traitor." ”
"Great Chief, in recent days, Commander Doru has been sleepless all night and has turned over the city of Fulu several times, but the traitor is really too hidden."
"yes, yes."
Everyone in the hall pleaded with the big leader Bai Yan.
"Okay, I believe that Doru is still capable, so I'll give you another half a month, if you still can't find a traitor, then you can resign as the patriarch and go home to retire."
Everyone in the hall was full of excitement, and Doru said nervously when he heard this: "Thank you, big leader." ”
"I have decided to issue a conscription order tomorrow to call all tribes to participate in the name of selecting tribal warriors, and all tribes must go to the adult men of the 5 adult tribes in Fucheng. The chosen warriors will be my personal guards, and their warrior clan will be exempt from the tribute for 2 years. ”
Everyone knew that the so-called warrior selection was just another word for the war call-up order, but no one rushed to make a different voice at this time.
