Chapter 63: The Tibetans Are Coming!
Lu Chen stepped forward and gently lifted the stone with his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lu Chen's hand was not petrified. Seeing this, everyone's faces looked even more sad, since the ancestral stone had been passed down to Lu Chen, the creatures inside had completely dissipated.
These people cried for more than half a day, and when they saw that they were all controlling their emotions, Lu Chen said, "Actually, I am not a wanderer, but a general who suppresses bandits, and I came here only to understand the situation of the Tubo army, but I didn't expect to meet you." Don't worry, since the ancestral spirit has entrusted you to me, I will naturally protect your safety, I only need one thing, your loyalty! ā
Hearing Lu Chen's words, more than 200 people did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and they all accepted it sincerely, after all, Zushi had approved of this person, and they had no reason not to accept it.
In fact, Lu Chen is also very happy to protect these people, his Datang Express is now a time when there is a shortage of manpower, with the addition of these people, Datang Express can also develop rapidly in a short period of time. You must know that it is very difficult to find a loyal person, and Lu Chen was able to find Song Cai and them entirely because these people were desperate at that time.
Now Lu Chen has picked up more than 200 people for nothing, which can be said to be a big profit.
At this time, the old patriarch suddenly made a big salute to Lu Chen, and shouted loudly, "Meet the Holy One!" ā
More than 200 people behind the old patriarch also shouted in unison, "Meet the Holy One!" ā
Lu Chen naturally stood in front of him, and then lifted the ancestral stone that had lost his spiritual value high, this was a ritual of their tribe, and the ancestral stone's spiritual wisdom dissipated before he told Lu Chen about this ritual.
When these villagers finished worshipping, Lu Chen put away the ancestral stone, although he had lost his spiritual value, but the ancestral stone itself was still very precious, otherwise it would not have given birth to spiritual value.
At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the more than 200 people in front of him, since he promised to protect them, then he couldn't leave them alone, Lu Chen chatted with these people for a while and left. Now that this tribe already belongs to itself, you can bring the team over in the open.
When Lu Chen returned to the place where the army was stationed again, it was already late at night. After seeing Lu Chen come back, Long Yan and Li Xinran secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they were really afraid that Lu Chen would encounter the army of Tubo.
Lu Chen didn't let the army set off immediately, after all, it was late at night, and even if it did, it would have to wait until tomorrow morning. Lu Chen told these people about his experience, and when he heard Zushi, their first reaction was not to believe it. Until Lu Chen took out the ancestral stone and showed them a look.
Long Yan grabbed an insect from the tree next to him and put it on it with a suspicious expression, only to see that the original brown-black insect began to turn white, and his movements became very stiff. After a while, the insect that was still alive before had turned into a white stone, and it stayed quietly on the ancestral stone, which made Long Yan and the others stunned for a while.
Li Xinran asked worriedly, "If you hold this thing, it won't turn you into stone, right?" ā
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Naturally not, because it recognizes me!" ā
The night passed, and early the next morning, Lu Chen led more than 2,000 people to the bottom of the mountain range, but he did not bring everyone over, but only brought 500 infantry, and the others stayed on the mountainside. After all, once the Tibetans are discovered, the rest of them can still carry out a sneak attack.
After Lu Chen led more than 500 people over, the people of the entire tribe looked at them in fear at first, until they learned that these soldiers belonged to their Sages, and the fear on the faces of these people slowly faded.
After settling down, Lu Chen had a rare little leisure, and it transformed the agricultural tools for the people here. There are not many renovations, after all, the tools and technology here are too backward. However, compared with before, the work efficiency has still been greatly improved.
Three days passed in a hurry, and just as Lu Chen was about to continue his march, a message came from the neighboring Tiemu tribe: the people of Tubo are here!
These five tribes, who live between the two mountain ranges, are not very close to each other. Therefore, there is usually no contact, and only when the Tibetan people are found, they will send people to tell other tribes and let them prepare in advance.
Hearing this news, the entire tribe immediately became nervous. As before, they had to hide everything that might have been looted, such as their own food, underground.
Lu Chen found the old patriarch and asked, "Didn't you say that the people of Tubo only come once in more than a month?" The old patriarch, who was busy storing grain, wiped the sweat on his face, and said with some puzzlement, "Who knows what the reason is, it used to be more than once a month, and since I have been the patriarch for decades, the mountain bandits in Tubo have all come according to this law."
Lu Chen stopped the old patriarch who was storing grain, and said, "You don't have to be busy, this time I will let them have no return!" ā
The old patriarch agreed repeatedly, he didn't dare to disobey the words of the sage. However, the worry on his face still did not fade, and he had no idea whether Lu Chen could defeat or even kill these Tubo mountain bandits. After all, even the original ancestral stone only repelled these mountain bandits, so that they did not dare to be too unscrupulous.
According to what the old patriarch said, since these people have already arrived at the Tiemu tribe, it will not be long before they reach their tribe.
Lu Chen sent people to inform the more than 1,500 people who stayed on the mountainside, asking them to pay attention, and once they found that the Tibetan army had entered this mountain range, they would immediately surround them, and Lu Chen's goal was not to let any of them go!
Soon, the soldiers sent by Lu Chen to investigate the enemy situation came back and reported that the Tibetan army was less than a kilometer away from here, and the number was close to one hundred. Hearing the news, Lu Chen immediately asked the old patriarch to inform the people in the tribe to stay in their homes and not go out, and then he led more than five hundred soldiers to hide beside some small valleys nearby.
Hearing that the Tibetan army was coming, Li Xinran's little face was suddenly filled with excitement, after all, this could be regarded as her first battle. Of course, she directly chose to ignore the encounter with the previous spring hunt.
Subsequently, Lu Chen scattered more than a hundred archers, vaguely surrounding the front half of the tribe.
After making all these preparations, Lu Chen and the others were behind the boulder, quietly waiting for the other party to arrive.
They didn't wait long, just a moment later, Lu Chen heard a commotion in the distance, it seems that these Tubo people are used to looting here, and even Ben's vigilance has disappeared recently.
Soon, a group of burly men appeared in Lu Chen's field of vision, these people were also wearing armor, and it could be seen that the quality of the armor was one level worse than the more than 2,000 people led by Lu Chen. However, these people's burly figures look much stronger than ordinary people.
