Lu was very curious about how Long Qiupeng deduced that the Furnace tribe would start a war in the spring, but Long Qiupeng didn't want to explain, so he planned to divert the topic under the pretense that he would be wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He said to the deer lightly: "Because they are also cautious in their attitude. If our tribute is not at all attractive to them, or if it is not necessary, they can make us drop our things and leave. But they didn't, they still left us, repeatedly grinding our temperament, in order to gain more favorable weight in the subsequent negotiations. ”

Lu had never heard of these things, and his brain speed couldn't keep up with Long Qiupeng's words, and he seemed to have fallen into a state of confusion, completely forgetting the topic just now. Long Qiupeng looked at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lu, you are still young, learn a little." ”

However, it is not the whole story of what he said to the deer, although the Lu clan desperately needs this batch of food to replenish their grain store, but it is not absolute. If the Furnace tribe really plans to fight in all directions after the beginning of spring, then if there is not enough food to survive the winter, they are likely to abandon a group of slaves in a hurry, and there will be more slaves after the war anyway. Therefore, the balance point of the negotiation is still in the square inch.

Dahu has been hiding in the corner, not knowing what to fear, the deer seems a little restless, walking around the house repeatedly, and several other entourages are at a loss to look at these "big people" present. Only Long Qiupeng was sitting in danger, closing his eyes and recuperating. At this time, Lu saw Qingmang walking into the yard from outside with someone from the window, and he whispered to Long Qiupeng: "It's here!" ”

Long Qiupeng opened his eyes in response, and Qingmang just came to him. He smiled meaninglessly, and Qingmang also smiled, and explained the intention: "The leader is invited." ”

"It's finally time to meet!" Long Qiupeng muttered in a low voice, and went out with the deer and the big lake with Qingmang.

At this time, the sun has begun to set in the west, and under the infection of the setting sun, the entire tribe is showing a kind of blood red, and it is very simple to tell whether a person is from the Furnace tribe at this time. The clansmen of the Furnace tribe all looked at Long Qiupeng and his party with excitement and disdain, as if there was a good show to watch soon, and the slaves all bowed their heads deeply, looking like they couldn't bear to look at them directly.

In the noise of the tribe, Long Qiupeng was welcomed to the tribal altar, the huge brazier has been lit with a raging fire, the leader of the furnace tribe turned his back to everyone, chanting words to the brazier, his clansmen only when facing the fire, their eyes were full of awe.

Standing on the altar and waiting for someone, in Long Qiupeng's opinion, is not tall and strong, much shorter than the Lie tribesmen of the Long tribe, but as the leader of such a large tribe, whether it is labor or scientific research, whether it is war or production, the leader does not need to do it himself, he only needs to have a head.

After going through a complicated ritual, the man finally turned to face Long Qiupeng and said the first sentence: "I am the leader of the Furnace Clan, the fire god Sun Yanyan. Look up to the glory of the Furnace tribe with awe. In fact, Long Qiupeng knew that at that time, he might not be able to distinguish between this "Yan" and "Yan", but when he saw him like that, Long Qiupeng decided that it was "Yanyan".

Yan Yan took the look, as if waiting for Long Qiupeng's praise, surrender and flattery. But Long Qiupeng just calmly introduced himself: "Dear Yan Yan, I am a descendant of the Dragon Clan, the leader of the Long Clan, Long Qiupeng. ”

Long Qiupeng had been waiting impatiently to meet Yan Yan before, Yan Yan mistakenly thought that the Long tribe was the second Tao tribe, but when the two people really faced each other, Yan Yan found that he had underestimated each other. However, Long Qiupeng's attitude was just right, so Yan Yan not only did not feel that Long Qiupeng was dangerous, but became interested in taming the other party.

Yan Yan smiled at Long Qiupeng, he actually said to Long Qiupeng politely: "You dare to come so far to sacrifice for me, but I can't entertain you well, it's really my eldest brother who doesn't take good care of me, come on, you go quickly to prepare the dinner, I'll take the younger brother of the Long family around first." After speaking, Yan Yan walked down the altar and took Long Qiupeng to start visiting their tribe.

Under the leadership of Yan Yan, they first came to the smelting center of the furnace tribe, I don't know if it was specifically to welcome the arrival of Long Qiupeng, or if it was like this on weekdays, the sky was getting dark, but the fire was dazzling, and the smelting center was still like dusk when the copper furnace shone at a glance. The cool breeze passing by here is also delicate, and the slaves who are still naked in the autumn are sweating in the sound of tinkling thrashing.

And at the end of the smelting center is the arsenal of the Furnace tribe, spears, longbows, and varieties and styles are not more than those of the Dragon tribe, but the quality and power are far above the Dragon tribe. I don't know if it's because of the scorching fire, or because of psychological tension, Long Qiupeng's forehead also has a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat.

Yan Yan smugly Chonglong Qiupeng smiled, within the scope of what he could detect, presumably this is already the most advanced technical process, changed to people from other tribes, seeing all kinds in front of him, I am afraid that he would have already knelt down and called grandpa, licking his shoes and begging for support.

But in Long Qiupeng's eyes, although he also felt a huge pressure, but the development of science and technology of the primitive tribe has his limitations after all, these metal tools have made the Furnace tribe a well-known melee king, but they lack hunting experience, they may still have a cheap advantage in long-range attacks.

However, in order not to let Yan Yan break his bottom line, Long Qiupeng still showed a sad face. Yan Yan was overjoyed when he saw it, and decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and introduce his tribe to him in more detail.

Under his leadership, Long Qiupeng saw the tribe's superb pottery technology, the chariots that were still in the experimental stage, and the rich technical reserves.

Yes, it is a technical reserve, not a technology, and the rapid development of science and technology is greater than because he has tasted the pleasure of plunder and conquest, so he has exported all low-level technologies such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and primary fisheries to his puppet tribe, and the headquarters of the furnace tribe is now almost all focused on arms production and invention.

Finally, Yan Yan took Long Qiupeng back to the altar of the tribe and started the dinner under the flames. A large amount of food during the banquet was fish and meat products, and he wanted to show Long Qiupeng the appearance of "the country is rich and the people are strong", but he still found that as a tribe with agricultural technology reserves, the number of food crops that night was very small. The disaster of the Tao Department still brought a huge impact to the Lu tribe.

When Long Qiupeng was laughing and calculating, Yan Yan gave an order, and many women came out from the side. Yanyan's tribe is rich, and there are other tribes to offer beautiful women, he is naturally more greedy than others to enjoy it, the tribe is not only developed in science and technology, but also has a preliminary development in singing and dancing.

While everyone was dancing, some other women came to Long Qiupeng and his party with clay pots and poured the beige soup into the bowl in front of them.

It's wine! Although the brewing process of primitive people is far lower than that of modern times, this familiar taste will not be forgotten by Long Qiupeng for a long time.

Long Qiupeng took it and tasted it, it was sweet, much sweeter than modern wine, and the alcohol content could not be the same, but it was fragrant, and the mellow aroma of grain brewing was difficult to buy on the market. Although it is not the best, it is still enough to satisfy cravings.

"Good wine!" Long Qiupeng almost spat out.

As soon as Yan Yan heard that Long Qiupeng knew the goods, he also bragged about himself. The deer on the side felt curious and wanted to pick it up and taste it, but was stopped by Long Qiupeng quietly. The alcohol brewed by primitive people is not high, but the primitive people themselves have little contact with alcohol, the deer has never drunk wine, I don't know what it looks like, Long Qiupeng still has important things to arrange, so naturally he doesn't dare to let him touch it.

The deer was well-behaved, and Long Qiupeng didn't let him move, so he didn't move.

But on the other side, I had been sleepwalking in the big lake for a day, and when I saw the wine on the table, I picked up a bowl without saying a word, and poured it down. The face that had been pale finally regained some flushing.

At this time, the lady who poured wine for Dahu suddenly leaned over and said something in Dahu's ear, Dahu seemed to be electrified, and the whole person suddenly stood up, and the food plate in front of him was touched by him. The woman fled in panic, and when everyone heard the noise and looked at the lake, he was left standing there alone.

Several of the Furnace Clan guards thought he was going to rebel, and stepped forward to press the Great Lake to the ground. Dahu, who has always been timid, didn't even resist and avenge his grievances, and was still in a state of distraction.

No one else saw all this, but Long Qiupeng, who had been paying attention to the deer and the big lake, saw it all in his eyes, and he saw that it was clearly after he came into contact with that woman, and the big lake had such an abnormal behavior. He stood up and smiled at Yan Yan and said, "Dear Lord Yan Yan, it's not Dahu, it's the maid who offered wine just now who broke the food plate in a hurry, don't misunderstand my people." ”

Long Qiupeng was pleading for Dahu on the face, but in fact, he threw out a bait to seduce Dahu, and Dahu, who was in a trance, really took the bait, when he heard Long Qiupeng's words, the lost soul seemed to be immediately recovered, and shouted: "It's not about Tao Mu!" It's me who drank too much! ”

From the time he arrived at the Great Lake, which had been like death in the Furnace Clan, he suddenly said the first sentence of the day loudly, which startled everyone. After Yan Yan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed, it turned out that mocking men was not strong enough to drink since ancient times, and after the invention of wine.

He waved his hand and motioned for the people to release the Great Lake. Long Qiupeng saw that Yan Yan didn't take it seriously, so he should have laughed with him. Soon the Great Lakes affair was forgotten as an accident.

After the banquet was dispersed, Long Qiupeng and his entourage were sent back to the resting place, and only when it gradually quieted down outside, did Long Qiupeng pull the sleepwalking lake over and whispered to him: "Say, what's going on with Tao Mu?" ”
