Pang Tong stepped out of the house, went to Jinbei with Jin Xuan, and after the curtain was opened, he saw a man in leather armor sitting opposite Jinbei in the firelight. Jin Xuan stood outside the house, like a guard. Pang Tong had already heard him say on the way, and that a messenger from a rival tribe had come that night.

Pang Tong, who had a serious face, sat down on Jinbei's side. The visitor smiled and said, "I am Ba'er of the Bamei clan, and I am here to discuss matters on behalf of the patriarch. Listen to Patriarch Jin say that you have the most weight in the clan now. There was confusion in his eyes, and he kept looking at this man who seemed to have fine skin and tender flesh and white face. He knew that Pang Tong did not belong to the South.

Pang Tong, who showed a polite smile of a diplomatic nature, nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"We, the Eight Beauty, have been a little frictional with you in the south, but I don't think it will hinder the friendship between the two tribes at all. I hope that together we can destroy that evil Mueller. In that case, everyone will be able to live safely. ”

His kindness has been spoken.

Jin Beidao: "In that case, what should be done?" ”

"How?" He was very calm in Ba'er's pupils, but Ba'er didn't understand his words.

In order to let him know what he meant clearly, Jin Bei said again: "How can it be considered a team." ”

"Alliance." Pang Tong said in a timely manner: "Only in this way can the two clans be united. ”

Ba'er smiled: "It's an alliance, it's better to work together, otherwise that Mule clan will be difficult to deal with." ”

Pang Tong, who threw out a questioning look, stared at him and said, "Do you know that we have recently defeated the Mule Clan? ”

"I've heard of it." Ba'er, who nodded, was quite honest. "I didn't expect you to become so powerful, this is unexpected."

"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain." Pang Tong clasped his hands to his chest and said, "If there is no victory, it is inevitable that you Bamei Clan will not believe that you can defeat the Mule Clan by uniting." It's better to defend against the Mueller and invade the Yejin at the same time, isn't it? ”

Ba'er, whose face suddenly sank, was obviously stabbed to the point by Pang Tong. He said half-loudly: "Some words are indeed difficult to speak, this kind of big truth seems to be cold, but I still agree." ”

What he meant was that he agreed with Pang Tong's statement. Although this identification seems a bit roundabout. However, Pang Tong has dispelled doubts about this person. If any clues were revealed to this Ba'er, Pang Tong would soon have in his mind the conspiracy of the Mule clan and the Bamei clan to trap the Yejin clan.

Although Jin Bei listened a little unpleasantly, because the tribe was strong, he had enough confidence in himself, so he said hard: "If the alliance is to deal with the Mule tribe, it is still necessary to persuade the Baihe tribe again, and it is more convenient to attack together." Maybe my words are a bit shameless, after all, the White River Clan has only come to invade us. But in comparison, this Mueller is too much, too evil, and you are also very straightforward! ”

He didn't say a question, but a tone of extreme affirmation, as if he knew something.

Ba'er lowered his face, buried himself in the shadows, and gasped and said, "That's a deep feud in the sea of blood." We suffered heavy losses in that year's defeat, and although we eventually drove the Mullers out of our territory, the patriarch's second son and his wife were robbed. Shame! ”

Pang Tong asked, "Are you still a hostage?" ”

Ba Er nodded, looked up at Pang Tong and said, "The second son Ba Wang is still a hostage, and his wife was given to his subordinates by Gangba." In this case, our clan will not recognize him as the wife of the patriarch. ”

"It's really like a woman's clothes." Thinking of the affairs of these tribes, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh: "Although the Han people also have this kind of saying, but you are much more serious here. It's too far away from civilization. ”

Ba'er's face was displeased, he frowned and pouted, "If you call them barbarians, it's no problem, they have been conquered by the Han people. He shuddered suddenly, remembered something, and turned back to Pang Tong and said, "But this time the Han people can't control us." Several of the leaders rebelled. ”

"Strange to say, since they are opposed, why don't you follow them?"

Jin Bei seemed to have a bit of a say, so he said without looking back: "The soldiers of those county guards themselves are drawn warriors from some big clans, and they have their own tribes, so they have enough troops. Of course, not everyone wants to fight, and the Han people didn't do anything to us. I don't have any dislike for the Han people, but when I look at the Mule people, I really think that we are indeed an uncivilized people, which is sad. ”

"It's not us." As if he wanted to move back to something, Ba'er said in a heavier tone, "Please don't confuse us with the Muellers, is that still a human thing?" Oh, but there seem to be tribes in the west that are worse, I know that. ”

"There is nothing strange in the world." Pang Tong interrupted: "Then I'll trouble you with one thing, Brother Messenger." ”

Bale looked at him somehow.

"Please go to the White River Clan once, if you can convince them too, the three clans will be together, and you can defeat the Mule Clan as soon as possible."

Ba Er shook his teeth and said to Jin Bei: "What are these words, why do you want us to go." Why don't you go? ”

"If you ask them as a people who have been plundered, will they answer? I guess they will say some ugly things and make some excessive demands. Pang Tong analyzed: "I think it's better for you to go, after all, among the three tribes, you have the most." ”

Jin Bei stretched out one hand and shook it: "They have attacked the Baihe Clan before, and they have old grudges. ”

"It's that kind of thing again." Pang Tong, who showed a disdainful expression, scorned the void and said, "Since you have the face to come to us, why don't you go to the Baihe Clan again?" ”

Ba'er didn't answer directly, but thought for a while. He slowly raised his head and said to the aggressive Pang Tong: "After all, I am just a messenger, and I can't agree to you casually, otherwise it will seem that our Bamei clan is too weak and can be called by others." I have made your intentions clear, so let me go back with this request and tell the Patriarch of Bagu. Let him decide. ”

Jin Bei, who had no objection to this, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply." ”

At breakfast the day after Ba'er left, another messenger came, and Pang Tong was called. He also thought that Ba'er had come back quickly to inform him of the situation, but unexpectedly opened the curtain and saw a man wearing a sleeveless bamboo shirt on his upper body. He walked to Jin Bei's side and sat down, and said with a smile: "This brother's clothes are so cool." ”

"This is the unique bamboo coat of our Baihe tribe, which is relatively light." The dark-faced prime man smiled and said, "My Bai Nu is a phoenix, I have heard Patriarch Jin mention you just now, what a strange person." ”

Pang Tong, who gasped between his teeth, thought to himself: "This Bamei clan left last night, and his Baihe clan sent it to the door this morning." It was the defeat of the Muellers that played a role. ”

"Why do you exalt me?" Pang Tong looked serious again. "I just want to make everyone richer. And that Mueller is just too hateful. Yesterday the Bamei came to talk about the alliance, and we talked about exterminating the Mule tribe together. ”

Bai Nu, whose face was stunned, muttered, "Eight beautiful clans? ”

Jin Bei's cheeks tightened, he didn't expect Pang Tong to say this kind of thing casually, so he had to say immediately: "Yes, it's all about uprooting that hateful Mule clan, and everyone's mood is the same." ”

Bai Nu squinted at the mat and frowned.

Pang Tong suddenly laughed and said, "How good is this, if the three tribes are together, they can immediately destroy the Mule tribe." ”

Bai Nu immediately shook his head and said, "No." ”

Like the meat that flew away immediately after reaching his mouth, Jin Bei lost his voice and said, "Why? ”

Pang Tong, who looked calm, was speechless.

Bai Nu, who seemed to be full of anger, said: "We can't be with the Bamei clan. They came to make trouble several times, and it was so hateful. ”

"Ridiculous." Although Pang Tong's voice was not loud, it was full of power, as if he had been smashed in the face, and Bai Nu looked at him fiercely.

Pang Tong met his gaze and said coldly, "Didn't you also come to fight the Yejin Clan?" Then why are you still sitting here? ”

Bai Nu gritted his teeth and was speechless for a while.

Pang Tong, who had read through his thoughts, continued: "It would be ridiculous to think that he would lose his important position in the alliance or his command position because the Eight Mei Clan was too powerful. You take yourself too seriously, our Yejin clan is not a nation at the mercy of others, not now, and not in the future. If they all came to the alliance to listen to anyone, the final effect can be imagined, a plate of scattered sand, and before the formation was opened, it was rushed by the Mueller clan. ”

What he said was a bit too much, especially the "formation". The tactics that only the army of the county guard here would use were not taken seriously and pushed away by the tribe. I saw that Jin Bei also turned his head to look at him in surprise, and Bai Nu was puzzled.

"Anyway, you must listen to the command of one person, if you can't fight together, you will inevitably find a gap in the Mueller tribe. In that case, it would be better for a tribe to go all out. ”

This time, they finally understood Pang Tong's words directly.

Bai Nu said with an embarrassed face: "What a tricky question." After all, another tribe is involved, and I must go back and talk to the patriarch carefully to see what he thinks. ”

He said the same thing as Bael. Since the content of the negotiation is beyond the scope of the emissary's authority, these non-decision-making people can only bring back the reason for the blockade of the negotiation and tell the patriarch to decide.

Jin Bei, who admired Pang Tong's diplomatic skills, said to Pang Tong after Bai Nu left: "Feng Xiao is even handy with this kind of thing, what did you do before?" ”

Pang Tong stood up and said, "I used to be a strategist under a general. His expression didn't seem to want to go on. Jin Bei didn't ask again.
