Chapter 118 Race against time
"Xian, Baliu and Luohe...... I've only heard of the Xian people...... The remaining two clans hadn't heard of it, and they were going to torture it again, but that guy was too careless, and he quickly choked his breath~"
Scar made a helpless gesture.
Lin Yuan went back and forth the names of the three barbarians in his mind:
Luohe Clan?
He suddenly fell on Jiu Yao, only to find that Jiu Yao was also looking back at him.
By the way, isn't this Luohe clan the tribe that Miss Jiu Yao was forced to marry at that time???
Lin Yuan saw some kind of expectation in Jiu Yao's eyes.
He nodded slightly to Jiu Yao, and then smiled.
It just so happened that I was going to clean up the Luohe clan sooner or later, and now it just so happened that there was a very legitimate reason.
"Great King......" The soul messenger took a step forward tremblingly and said to Lin Yuan:
"Of the three races that Scar said just now, the old man only knows one of them, the Xian clan, huh...... It should be said that everyone in our Sabah ethnic group knows this race......"
"Oh?" Lin Yuan looked at the old man with interest and asked, "Then you can tell me about the situation of this tribe?" ”
Soul Messenger Yang Tian took a deep breath and said:
"This Xian tribe...... Once our sworn enemies of the Sabah people, we used to fight each other for hundreds of years on this Loess Plateau for territory...... Later, the climate became more and more strange, and it did not rain for several years, and gradually the rivers dried up, the lush grasslands became yellow, and there became less and less prey, and even the small tribes that could be raided were relocated to more southern territory......"
"In order to survive, the Xian people gave up everything here, probably more than a hundred years ago, they left the camp handed down by their ancestors and went south, and we, too, lost this competitor and became a hegemon of the Loess Plateau...... And then ...... I heard that they had not found a suitable place to settle, so they plundered and wandered around, and finally on the Gobi Desert in the south, they were intercepted by the troops of the Huang nationality, fell into their trap, and the whole tribe was wiped out...... Alas......"
The soul messenger couldn't help but shake his head, and the surrounding Saba people sighed.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, he understood a little, the Sabah tribe is not an emotionless barbarian, they have a natural respect for powerful opponents, out of respect for the Xian tribe, so they feel embarrassed about what happened to the Xian tribe after migration, and Lin Yuan can also feel that in the hearts of some old Sabah people, it seems that they still have doubts about the migration......
"Hmm...... I got ......."
Lin Yuan said slowly, he slowly stood up from his seat, looked around at everyone, and said:
"Rest assured, the fall of the Xian clan is not because of the strength of the Huang clan, but because of ...... They don't have a great leader to lead them...... But we Sabah are different! Because...... You've got me! Believe me! Under my leadership, we will not repeat the mistakes of the Xian people! We Sabah will surely prosper! ”
The soul messenger was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his arms and shouted:
"Long live the King!"
Immediately the crowd cried out:
"Long live the king......"
After everyone calmed down, Lin Yuan asked the soul envoy about the geographical location of the Xian tribe:
"That Xian clan...... You say they were annihilated in the Gobi Desert in the south...... That Gobi Desert, how far is it from here? ”
"Back to the king...... None of us have been...... However, I heard that the Xian people walked for at least 40 days ......"
Lin Yuan nodded, the journey of more than 40 days, counting the speed of the tribe's migration, was almost the same time as the time he walked over with Jiu Yao and Hou Yiyi at that time...... In this way, if you go south, you will almost walk back to the vicinity of the Yan Plain......
Oh no, when they set out, they were heading northwest, and if they were heading due south now, they would actually be back to the west of the Yan Plain...... It's not the plains themselves...... I guess that's the case...... In this ancient era, there was no such thing as a map at all, it could only be estimated like this......
Look at it this way......
Lin Yuan looked at the blue sky outside the cave, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Now the situation is clear! Obviously, after yesterday's incident, the Huang Clan should have listed us as enemies! In this matter, we have no way out, we can only fight the Huang clan to the end! I know that although our Saba people are not afraid of the so-called powerful forces of the Huang people at all! But ......"
“…… If we want to compete with the Huang clan and realize the dream of letting the Sabah clan step on the land of the Central Plains, with our current strength, we must get the support of all the tribes in the Central Plains, and if we want to get the support of the tribes in the Central Plains, I must get the Vulcan crest! This is a very crucial holy relic! We have to get!! Scar did a good job of finding clues to the Vulcan Crest for us, and although we don't know the situation of the Baliu Clan yet, at least, our first goal has been determined, and that is ...... Prepare to march - target the Gobi Desert! The last place where the Xian people appeared! ”
"The Sabah will win! The Sabah will win!! ”
The crowd shouted......
………………
After the morning meeting was over and everyone was ordered to disperse, Lin Yuan left the soul messenger and the canaper, and then he lowered his head and asked:
"In the meeting just now, I saw that the two of you wanted to talk and stopped...... Is there something going on? ”
The soul envoy was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The Great King is really a god, and his observation is so meticulous...... Indeed, I have some doubts with the canadian......
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!"
"The King...... We're actually worried, Huang ......"
"The Huang Clan?" Lin Yuan looked at the old man, then at the old man, and asked.
"Yes," replied the old man, "although they are far away from us, as far as I know, if we want to go south to the Gobi Desert, we will probably pass through several small tribes of the Yellow Alliance...... Although they do not belong directly to the Huang clan, as vassals, they will also carry out the orders of the Huang clan......"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said:
"Well...... So, are you worried that we're going to get in trouble there? ”
"Yes, my lord, although we Sabah are not afraid of those small clans, if we really fight, we can completely treat one as ten! But...... What I'm worried about is...... The one you need...... Vulcan...... What's going on?"
"Vulcan Emblem!" Lin Yuan reminded.
"Oh! Yeah! Vulcan Emblem...... I don't know what it is, but I think it's easy to break...... I'm worried...... Once the news of the death of the Yellow Clan's envoy here reaches there, if they have the Vulcan Badge in their hands...... Maybe...... They're going to ruin it before we get it......"
Reasonable!
Lin Yuan's brows suddenly locked, he raised his head and asked Yu Zha:
"Worm! You know a lot about the Huang people, how long do you think they will know about the envoys? ”
He first bowed, and then looked at the ground under his feet, he picked up a branch, wrote and drew on the ground, Lin Yuan paid attention to it, it turned out that he was counting something on the ground, and he used the branch to draw a trace, which was used to count as a number of identifications.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the intellectual development speed of these primitive people is still very slow, after so many years, they still haven't learned basic writing and number calculation, compared with thousands of years ago, their only progress is to change the calculation with their fingers to writing and drawing on the ground instead.
Looks...... If you have time, it is imperative to teach them how to write and do simple arithmetic, which are boring, but they are the cornerstone of a civilization and play a very crucial role. It's hard to imagine how long a civilization without writing will last......
He lay on the ground for a moment, then got up, didn't have time to pat the dust off his legs, and said to Lin Yuan eagerly:
"Back to the king...... I have been in contact with the envoys of the Huang clan before, and they usually set out from the base camp of the Huang clan, directly under the orders of the patriarch, and supply in the various vassal tribes of the Huang alliance along the way, and then the vassal tribes will report the whereabouts of the ambassador to the Huang patriarch, and they use this method to monitor the whereabouts of the ambassador at all times......"
“…… Therefore, the closest to us here should be the Qikue people in the east, they are about 5 days away from here, and counting their estimated time to communicate with the envoys, huh...... It is estimated that in about another 10 days, the Qikue tribe did not wait for the envoy to return, and they should know that their envoy had an accident...... If possible, they might or may not send spies to investigate...... Anyway, in the end, they will definitely pass on this news to the base camp of the Huang clan......"
Lin Yuan nodded and asked:
"So, how long does it take to get from this Qi Kueh clan to the Huang clan's base camp?"
"At least 10 days." Gaza replied.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said:
"Hmm...... In this case, the news of the emissary's disappearance reached the Huang base camp, and then the young patriarch of the Huang tribe ordered all tribes to list the Sabah as enemies...... It will take about 20 days at most, right? ”
"The king is smart! Admire! He bowed his head and replied respectfully.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, these primitive people, simple addition and subtraction have to be worshiped like this, so if he teaches them multiplication and division in the future, wouldn't it be regarded as a miracle by these people again......
Lin Yuan raised his head and said to himself:
"20th...... But it will take us at least 40 days to get to the Gobi Desert ... Even if we leave tomorrow, it seems like it's too late......"
What to do? If you can't surprise the other party before they notice, it is likely that as the soul messenger said, the Vulcan Emblem may meet with misfortune......
…………
That's right!
Lin Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he smiled happily and said to Yu Zha:
"It's okay! There's a way! We'll be there before they get the news! ”
The Soul Messenger and the Worm Zha couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they looked at Lin Yuan blankly, as if they were looking at something completely impossible.
"O king...... Even if our people run day and night, it will not take half the time to arrive...... What's more, we can't stop day and night, we have to stop and rest...... Supply ......"
Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and said:
"Haha, who said let us run by ourselves?"
Worm Zha and the Soul Envoy looked at each other, they didn't know what Lin Yuan was talking about.
Lin Yuan stood up and walked slowly towards the outside of the cave, commanding as he walked:
"Worm! Remember the wild horses we had in the canyon? Walk! Bring someone with me immediately, quickly! ”
