Chapter 5 Xia E's Confession

Since he was going to the alliance, he didn't need to bring too many people, Chen Jian only brought fifty soldiers, and the wolf skin white horse Acorn and others all stayed in the city in case of accidents. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Considering the speed of news transmission, Jian Chen was not in a hurry, and he was learning some vocabulary of the Eyue tribe with his clansmen along the way.

The mall has not yet been completely built, and the two tribes have left dozens of people and more than a hundred slaves to build there, and the location of this alliance is the mall.

In the rudimentary mall, the slaves were ramming the city wall, and several clansmen were enjoying the shade of the trees, when suddenly there was a sound of hooves of horned deer in the distance, coming from the direction of Echeng.

Looking at the horned deer, which was obviously a little unable to hold on, several clansmen who had been scouts scolded dissatisfiedly: "Running like this will break the deer, which tribe is this?" He doesn't deserve to ride! ”

When they got closer, the people were about to stop the man to teach him a lesson about the importance of cherishing his mount, when the rider pulled out two banners from his bosom. A linen black and white bear on one side, and a silk two-winged moth on the other.

The clansmen who were already ready to scold immediately retreated to the back, this was an emergency, and no one of the two clans could stop them.

The rider jumped off the deer without stopping it, and the tired deer immediately lay on the ground gasping for breath.

"Change it!"

He shouted loudly, and immediately someone pulled the horned deer out, and looking at the anxious face of the man, they were all guessing what was happening, and their hearts were uneasy. But they can only guess about this kind of thing, and they can't ask casually, otherwise Ji Song will whip them mercilessly when he knows about it.

The rider took a jar of honey directly from the storeroom of the mall, drank it, grabbed a handful of salt and filled it in his mouth, jumped on the horned deer and galloped away.

When the rider finally saw Jian Chen, his thighs had been worn out, and he jumped down and walked with his legs crossed, as if he had a piece of wood under him.

"Ji Xia, something happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"Eyue asked me to tell you, go to the mall as soon as possible to discuss some things."

The rider glanced at a few people he didn't know around and called Chen Jian aside, and Chen Jian said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

The rider swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, moistened his hoarse voice, and whispered: "Eyue's younger brother led people to the northeast to capture slaves, and the slaves rioted, and his brother died, and his body was eaten. Of the more than 50 slave hunters who had gone with them, only three came back, and their ears were cut off and brought back to his brother's underneath...... Stuffed in the mouth of the skull. ”

"How is that possible? A tribe of more than fifty people can't stop it at all? ”

"His younger brother is very good, he caught too many slaves, and when he passed through a settlement, he was attacked, and those slaves also rebelled, as if the last attack was a small settlement of a big clan in Beidi, and now some settlements in Beidi seem to be gathered together, and they don't want to be captured as slaves anymore."

"Not the kind of horseback tribe we encountered?"

"No, I asked, it's also yellow-skinned, no horses. When Eyue found out, he immediately asked me to summon you, and he was ready to go when I left. Do you want them to help send troops? ”

Chen Jian nodded casually noncommittally and said, "You go with me, I'm about to go to the mall, it's a coincidence." ”

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said in his heart that it was sad that Eyue had killed his younger brother, but with the strength of their clan, they didn't need their own help to retaliate, and they should have the same starting point as themselves, for fear that they would be attacked by themselves when they led the troops out.

From the perspective of Niujia Village, the cause of Eyue's younger brother's death has a great relationship with Chen Jian.

They were in such a hurry to catch slaves, apparently because they had learned the method of replacing fields, learned intensive farming, and wanted to reclaim enough land to grow wheat before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The astonishing amount of one hundred and fifty catties per mu after the last harvest frightened the envoys of Echeng, and Shujiu also came to see it with his own eyes, so their tribe was now anxiously preparing a large number of slaves to prepare for the cultivation of land, which eventually led to the death of his younger brother.

There are many other effects of this butterfly effect, such as the decrease in the amount of corn used to make wine in order to store enough new slaves to survive, and the price of exchange gradually increases; In order to store enough wheat seeds, the price of wheat in exchange increased, and the Eyu people who came to exchange also preferred wheat to the rest; In contrast to the decrease in wine, a large amount of black pottery was transported to Xia Cheng at a cheaper price than before, causing the acorn pottery kiln to basically stop......

When one city is connected to the rest and is no longer closed, every subtle change affects the fate of the people in both tribes: some die, some wake up from falling asleep due to the stress of pottery burning, and some are bitten by hunting in exchange for corn wine, which is rising in price......

The era of the world in my eyes is over, these changes are no longer beyond Jian Chen's control, the world in my eyes is getting bigger day by day, and it is impossible for Jian Chen to predict what it will eventually become.

Along the way, Chen Jian was recalling the words of Shujiu and the clansmen to deduce Eyue's character, this was the second time he and Eyue met, and it was finally not on the battlefield, but it was not at the banquet.

When they arrived at the mall, E Yue and the others had already arrived, and they were not surprised that Jian Chen came to the mall so early, and on the way they met the messenger who went down by boat.

E Yue's face didn't have too much pain, she maintained the bearing of a leader, met with Wei Xi under the introduction of Chen Jian, chatted with each other, and recalled the days when she and Wei Xi's father were in Huacheng, but didn't say a word about Uncle Wei Xi, as if she had never seen it at all.

arranged for the clansmen to prepare a room for Wei Xi to rest first, and Chen Jian and E Yue walked into a room together, and their personal guards guarded the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

"I've heard about your brother, mourn."

"He just went to his ancestors first, and no one can escape death, only sooner or later."

"What do you think about Weixi's affairs?"

"Send it back. The Wei clan is very strong, Wei Xi's father is very powerful, when he was a child in Hwaseong, Hua said that in the future, whoever sees the source of the great river and who plants the flag of the tribe on the seashore may become the next leader of the tribe. He was still young at the time, but he encouraged some of his tribesmen to follow him to leave the river to go to the land of Xirong to carve out a piece of heaven and earth and become the leader of the West. Tigers don't give birth to wolf cubs. ”

He looked up at Jian Chen and said with a smile, "You know very well what to do, but you came to ask me." ”

Jian Chen smiled: "I thought it was a piece of meat, and the two of us could go and eat it together." ”

"It's not meat, it's not weaker than you and my tribe, and it can't be gnawed. It's just that I didn't expect that after Hua's death, their tribe really migrated west, and I thought they would stay in their homeland to compete for the position of leader. ”

Chen Jian imagined the starry era he heard from the story more than 20 years ago, and secretly regretted that he was born too late.

E Yue seemed to be reminiscing about what happened when she was a child, and she said slowly after a long time: "Ji Xia, I said that when you go to attack the scalping tribe in the north, I will never send troops to attack your city, do you believe it?" ”

"I said that when you go to clean up the Beidi settlement, I will never send troops to attack your city, do you believe it?"

After the two of them finished speaking, they both laughed, and if they didn't answer, they answered.

E Yue said directly: "I have two proposals. You and I will send troops together, first to Beidi, and then to deal with those tribes who cut their scalps, and all of them will be killed in half. But you and I both know that this is not good, I don't want my people to die, and you don't want my people to die. Unless Hua is reborn, no one except him has such prestige, he can lead all tribes, and he can't let the generals of each tribe be in the hands of one person. ”

"When I was a child, someone gave Hua a little goose chick with two heads, and the little goose chick died very quickly. It's the same with the army, two heads, you can't survive. I can't put my people under your command, and you can't hand them over to me. ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "I originally hoped to send troops with you, but I was worried that if I left your tribe, I would be able to defeat the tribe that cut my scalp." ”

"In the same way, although the settlements of Beidi are temporarily gathered together because of my slave hunting, I am not afraid, but I am even more afraid of you."

It is a joy to be respected by an adversary, and before the advent of weapons capable of destroying the world, the basis of trust is either a common enemy; Either that, or absolutely unequal power: the tiger is 100% confident that the rat will not hurt itself, but the rat will not be complacent because of this trust.

The two of them were silent for a while, and then said, "The second suggestion...... I will send two of my favorite sons to your city, one is the number nine, my eldest son, and the wisest, and your people in the city will tell you that I am not lying. The other, along with his mother, was in charge of the tribe's food. Three months, and I'll pick them up in three months. And thou shalt send thy people. ”

"I don't have a son yet, but I have a lot of brothers, or the head of our council?"

"Chief? After the emergence of the Six Divisions in your clan, the leader cannot prove your sincerity. On the contrary, if you have really broken your oath, not only will I not kill them, but I will take them back to you. Let the priest of your tribe come, she is your sister, and bring her back in three months. ”

"As Ji Xia, I agree. As her older brother, I want to ask her, and although she will definitely agree, I can't promise you right now. ”

Jian Chen didn't agree immediately, but E Yue was more relieved, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let my two sons come to the mall to wait for her when I go back." Do you spoil her? ”

"The first time I went hunting, I came back late, and she cried, and the tears fell to my hands and flowed into my heart."

Chen Jian raised his head and recalled the tears from a year ago, which made him really begin to accept the tears of his brother's identity, and really found a trace of emotional tears in this era. After all, he didn't belong to this world.

From that tear, he treated this sister with the attitude that he thought was the right thing to be an older brother.

Feelings are getting along, they are the return of mutual giving, starting from that opportunity, gradually approaching, and finally turning from a tear into a river that cuts endlessly, and the origin of this wave is just a drop of bitter worry.

E Yue looked at the warm and unconscious smile on the corner of Chen Jian's mouth, and felt more relieved, and said: "Tomorrow I will prepare a sacrifice sacrifice, you and I will sacrifice to the ancestors and gods, the two clans will become brothers and relatives, and the two clans will not move their troops within a year, and the offender will no longer be protected by the ancestors, and the soul will be lost forever after death." ”

As for a year from now, who's going to know? Don't talk about the two clans, there is a pair of uncles and nephews in front of you who are endless. The oath is made for the clansmen, and mutual quality is what makes you believe.
