Chapter 19: The Final Game
Because of the use of the innocent Great Lake and Tao Mu, Long Qiupeng still felt uneasy in his heart, afraid that something would happen to them before they were rescued. In the tossing and turning of the pen "Fun", when the first rays www.biquge.info of sunlight hit Long Qiupeng's bed, he got up and rushed outside.
Although the people of the Furnace tribe also follow the natural time, they who are good at using torches will rest later at night than the people of the Long tribe, and naturally they will not get up too early in the morning. So Long Qiupeng and Lu waited for Yan Yan to appear next to the altar early.
Long Qiupeng knew that if Yan Yan saw that he had come to wait for him so early, he would definitely take the opportunity to be embarrassed, and even sit on the ground and raise the price. But Long Qiupeng can't care about so much now, he just wants to tell Yan Yan that he cares about Dahu, so that the other party will not act rashly and destroy the current good situation.
After all, Yan Yan is not stupid, and any way to obtain food peacefully is worth trying before he plans to officially launch it.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, Yan Yan still didn't appear, not only Yan Yan didn't appear, but even Qingmang didn't know where to go. As Long Qiupeng expected, Yan Yan, who wanted to test Long Qiupeng's pressure, how could he miss the good opportunity to put pressure on Long Qiupeng?
But the more Yan Yan is like this, the more relieved Long Qiupeng is, because he wants to use Dahu as a bargaining chip, not a threat, so that at least Dahu's personal safety is guaranteed. Humiliation, contempt, and oppression, these concessions have long been written in Long Qiupeng's plan, so that the other party will pay back the principal with interest before winter comes. However, if Dahu died, or Tao Mu was harmed, for Long Qiupeng, it was tantamount to a debt that could not be repaid in his lifetime.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yan Yan appeared in the square in front of the altar accompanied by Qing Mang, while others followed with Dahu and Tao Mu. Long Qiupeng saw that Dahu's eyes were empty again, and the six gods had no master, knowing that Dahu's faith had been shocked and shaken again, and he was in a state of ignorance and dazedness.
When Yan Yan appeared, he was radiant and proud. Maybe it's because I feel that since yesterday, the mental contest between the two people has been almost over, and the identities and status of the two people have been confirmed, so there is no hypocrisy and clichΓ©s in Yanyan today. He went straight around Long Qiupeng, went to his throne, and said to Long Qiupeng straight to the point: "Change back to the big lake, and add two more bucks." β
When Long Qiupeng heard this, he thought to himself, it was really a lion's mouth, two bucks, can sell slaves like four big lakes, but on the surface, he still has a gentle and firm attitude, and even took the initiative to increase Yan Yan and said: "I want both of them, plus five bucks!" β
Being pushed to the ground, Dahu, who was not possessed by his soul, seemed to suddenly come to life when he heard Long Qiupeng's words, he broke free from the other party's restraints with all his strength, tried to raise his head, looked at Long Qiupeng in disbelief, and his eyes once again flowed with the brilliance of hope.
The Lu tribe also fell into a riot and discussion because of Long Qiupeng's words. They were all pleased with Long Qiupeng's proposal, and set their sights on their leader, Yan Yan, hoping that they could exchange these two indifferent slaves for rich and objective food.
But Yan Yan, who was sitting on it, squinted his eyes and remained motionless, repeatedly measuring the true weight of this sentence.
Long Qiupeng saw that Yan Yan was silent, and he was not sure whether Yan Yan was because he had seen through himself, or if he deliberately wanted to raise the price again, in order to seize the opportunity, Long Qiupeng took the lead and added to Yan Yan: "What?" Inadequate? Add seven bucks, no more! β
Hearing this, Yan Yan was startled, and unconsciously stood up in his seat.
Long Qiupeng knew that the conditions he had offered, and he was shocked that it exceeded the upper limit of the other party's expectations. Before, Long Qiupeng had a little understanding of the market of the Furnace Clan, and if he wanted to exchange a slave like Dahu, it would only be two wild boars at most, which was equivalent to less than half a stag. And Tao Mu, a female slave who is not particularly outstanding in all aspects, is almost always given away as a gift, and a stag wants as much as she wants.
In this way, two people exchanged seven bucks, Yan Yan never thought about it.
However, he quickly regained his composure, and he sat down again, regaining his previous cold arrogance: "Seven bucks? Why should I believe you? Just that little boar. β
After a lot of accidents, the topic turned around, and finally came to the route that Long Qiupeng designed at the beginning, he heard Yan Yan's question, and knew that his trip to the Furnace tribe was finally on the right track, so he threw the lines that had been designed long ago to Yan Yan: "That's because I don't have a means of transportation, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get food so far, I would be able to bring you five bucks this time." β
Hearing this, the Furnace tribe exploded again, they were talking nonsense, and people kept looking at Yan Yan, hoping that he could reach a deal with Long Qiupeng as soon as possible, so as not to reverse Long Qiupeng's regrets. But the cunning Yan Yan, how could he simply listen to Long Qiupeng's words, he still kept looking Long Qiupeng and his party up and down, trying to judge the truth of these statements in the clues.
However, these were also in Long Qiupeng's calculations, he patted the deer on the shoulder, and the deer took out the bow and arrow from behind him according to the plan, pulled the bow and arrows, and a bird fell to the ground with a whoosh. The Furnace tribe was instantly quiet, and the military strength of the Furnace tribe was indeed strong. However, due to the perennial distance from the forest, the hunting skills are seriously degraded. The entire Furnace tribe relied far more on long contradictional cards than any other weapon, so bows and arrows were mostly just a reserve in their arsenal. They have longbows, bronze arrows, but it's been a long time since a deer has had such a young marksman.
Long Qiupeng saw that everyone recognized the deer's archery skills, so he took the opportunity to explain to Yan Yan: "It is this young man in front of you, who took my hunter up the mountain a few days ago and hit a black bear. So, don't say seventeen bucks, there are seventeen more. Of course, Long Qiupeng wouldn't tell them that it was not only the bow and arrow that killed the black bear, but also the poison. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was another discussion in the crowd, the black bear, for the Furnace tribe with metal weapons, is still a death-like existence.
Yan Yan squinted at the smiling man in front of him, he was obviously very powerful, but he was always very obedient. Yan Yan always felt that he could easily control him, but every time he chose a route that Yan Yan didn't expect.
No matter how Yan Yan exerted his strength at him, he took it lightly. Soft, every punch of Yan Yan seems to hit the flesh skin, this feeling makes Yan Yan very bad.
But with the addition of seven stags, in the midst of a winter of hunger and cold, it would be tantamount to relieving their urgent need. With these reserves as a foundation, their winter will be much easier.
Yanyan's plan to open up the wasteland can also be smoothly implemented at the beginning of spring.
Yan Yan's face was hesitant and wavering. Seeing this, Long Qiupeng felt that he couldn't give him more time to think, and said: "As long as there is a car, I can give you five bucks in less than ten days, and in 30 days, I will send you six more, and finally after the weather is completely cold, I will send you the last six." β
Cunning as Yanyan, when he heard Long Qiupeng mention the car, he began to be suspicious again, and his attention was also attracted to the car, and he instantly forgot his doubts about Long Qiupeng's strength, and subconsciously shouted to him: "No!" Cars don't work! β
Long Qiupeng looked innocent and said to Yan Yan: "Why don't you ...... Send someone to pull it. β
The Lu tribe has been sitting on the tribute of others, how can there be a reason to come to the door to take it from themselves, Long Qiupeng doesn't mention it, and when he mentions Yan Yan, he feels that this is Long Qiupeng deliberately embarrassing him. After thinking about it, Yan Yan was confused by Long Qiupeng's ecstasy, and didn't know what to do.
Before Long Qiupeng could open his mouth again, Qingmang said a few words in Yan Yan's ear, Yan Yan hesitated for a while, and finally showed some satisfaction on his face.
After being passive for a long time, Yan Yan finally spoke to Long Qiupeng again, he pointed to the four old boats by the lake and said, "That, you take it, I heard that your tribe is not far from the waterfront!" β
Long Qiupeng showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but the topic had gone completely according to his plan at this point.
In just one day, Long Qiupeng and Yan Yan got along, and early on found that Yan Yan was suspicious and cunning by nature.
If he directly said that they wanted a boat, Yan Yan would definitely not agree. So Long Qiupeng had to make repeated requests, which led to Yan Yan's suspicions, and finally made Yan Yan himself reject other options and give him those ships.
The Long tribe has no domestic animals, and they can't do a lot of things with a car, not to mention the well-armed Furnace tribe, on such a plain, the ability to conduct land warfare far exceeds that of the Long tribe, so it is useless to ask for a car for Long Qiupeng.
However, the Dragon Clan, which is good at long-range attacks, has a few chances of winning when it launches a long-range attack on the Furnace tribe on the water. So when Long Qiupeng came here and saw those abandoned ships on the shore, he had already made up their minds.
After pretending to be difficult to think for a long time, Long Qiupeng nodded and said, "Deal!" Ten days later, the first prey arrived! β
Although Long Qiupeng nodded, the whole negotiation was over, Yan Yan felt that he had won, so he stepped down from the throne as a victor, came to Long Qiupeng, and said to him: "The fire god will bless your ......"
Long Qiupeng also replied respectfully: "Fire God, will take care of you......" But Yan Yan didn't know that the favor that Long Qiupeng said was far from what he could bear.
The people of the Lu tribe put the big lake and the pottery wood, and they were about to bow down when the big lake came up, but they were stopped by Long Qiupeng. He motioned for Dahu to quickly leave this land of right and wrong, and the rest of the things returned to the Dragon tribe to talk slowly.
So Long Qiupeng took his people and stepped on the four small boats respectively, ready to set off for home.
