Chapter 69: Bargaining
The rapid rise of the Dragon tribe caused great panic and uneasiness to the Zishu of the Kongsang tribe, and he used various channels to collect information about the Dragon tribe and find a solution. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Finally, before the arrival of spring, Zishu decided to exchange his sister and son for the other party's deputy leader Xi, I heard that it was a beautiful and intelligent woman, and it was also the woman Long Qiupeng trusted the most. If he can marry her back to the tribe, Zishu believes that if something happens to the Kongsang tribe again, Long Qiupeng will definitely not sit idly by.
But no one expected that the sudden appearance of the barbarian envoy and relatives failed, although Long Qiupeng saved the stream, and avoided a vicious battle between the two tribes, but turned around Long Qiupeng wanted to marry the brook himself.
Rather than humiliating, Zishu was even more afraid that if Long Qiupeng continued to develop like this, he would still be like other tribes, squeezing and encroaching on the Kongsang tribe little by little, and finally forcing them to be displaced again.
Experience tells the subtree that it must be taken advantage of or it will be eaten by others. With this strong sense of crisis, Ling Zishu finally made a risky decision: to threaten Long Qiupeng with an attitude similar to the end of the same life, and let Long Qiupeng assist in his military construction. But he didn't know that these things were just wishful thinking on his part in the final analysis.
Long Qiupeng was neither afraid of him, nor did he want to annex him at will, the continuous combat made him a little tired, and he felt that it was time to engage in urban construction and diplomacy.
So please Zishu for the simple reason of controlling the other party within his own capabilities, and then settle the matter "peacefully".
Long Qiupeng and Xi's wedding was held as scheduled, Long Qiupeng was not embarrassed for Zishu, and Zishu also said everything interestingly.
On the same day, Long Qiupeng and Xi wore brand-new deerskin clothes and stood under the dragon totem to announce their union. Although it was still cold, Long Qiupeng still sent people to the forest to collect some small golden flowers similar to spring or forsythia, which were all over the wedding scene.
In addition to the Dragon tribe's own memorial ceremony, there are also many small tribes that bring their own songs and dances. In the morning, everyone ate and drank, sang and danced, a prosperous scene.
Creek became the center of attention, and many praised her beauty and intelligence. She was very happy, and it seemed that even after thousands of years of development, the little vanity of a woman about beauty had not changed at all.
Long Qiupeng was also full of smiles, but he didn't enjoy it as relaxed as Xi, he stood in the center of the stage under the "spotlight", but it didn't prevent him from observing the thoughts of the group of "audiences" below.
Except for one or two envoys from the big tribe who heard the sound from afar, they had a certain tentative attitude and friendly contact with Long Qiupeng, creating a good start for the cooperation between the two tribes in the future.
On the contrary, in some small tribes, it is more like mosquitoes and leeches, which look weak and harmless, it is really a bite, the light itching is long, and the heavy ones are life-threatening, Long Qiupeng has to be careful.
In just two days, he classified the large and small tribes around his tribe, cleared them up, and waited until his day, and then slowly screened them one by one. The sum of the and, the receiving.
Originally, although Zishu did not marry Xi, after all, he was Zizhi's elder brother, and he could be regarded as a marriage tribe of the Long tribe, but Long Qiupeng did not give him a special status.
Zishu was annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack on such an occasion, not to mention that from the morning, Long Qiupeng greeted him with a smile, just repeatedly saying that he didn't take care of him, please forgive me.
He sat there, watching Long Qiupeng and Xi being surrounded by people, and felt a little depressed in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly heard two people behind him whispering.
Although it was a whisper, the distance from the subtree was too close, and the subtree could hear it very clearly.
One of them said, "I heard that the Long tribe has already married other tribes? Our leader only now knows that he originally wanted to mention the matter of peace this time. ā
The other replied, "It should be the Kusan in the north......
"The leader of the sub-tree of Kongsang, how do I feel that I haven't seen it?"
"Be quiet, who said they didn't come......" The man paused suddenly, perhaps to confirm the location of Zishu, who wanted to hear what they were talking about, but was afraid that the other party would find out, so he deliberately shrank up, and dismissed the two people around him to the side.
The man seemed to confirm the surrounding situation, so he continued: "Don't spread the word, I also inquired about this matter from an acquaintance of the Long tribe......" The man was extremely cautious, and paused for a long time before continuing, "He almost killed his bride, and now he wants to take his sister back......"
"Ahh How unthinkable this is! The sudden sound was very unfamiliar, and it was obvious that there was a new person involved, and such a gossip topic seemed even more appealing.
"Be quiet!" The man who seemed to know the details seemed to be startled by the sudden noise and rushed in to stop him.
But the man who came in later seemed to be in a hurry, and he said impatiently, "That's not good, I have to tell the head of our family about this kind of thing...... and then two or three others echoed.
Zishu wanted to look back, but it seemed that the voice was coming from directly behind him, and unless he stood up and turned around, he couldn't see the other person.
Just when he hesitated, someone said: "The celebration is about to start, let's go back quickly, there will be more people coming and going in a while, don't have any accidents." ā
Although the Hongmen Banquet is famous for Liu Bang, this trick has been around since ancient times. Several tribes conspire to kill one of the tribes at the feast, and then divide the other party's goods, territory, and women, which also happens in the market, so the people who organize this kind of banquet must have full courage, and the people who participate in this kind of banquet also make a huge bet. So as soon as this man finished speaking, the others also responded.
But life is noisy, and this Zishu can't tell how many people the other party is when they are scattered. Hearing that they were about to disperse, he didn't care a lot, and quickly stood up and looked back. But although I saw a few people who didn't enter the crowd, I couldn't tell how many people there were, and where they were dressed and went.
Zishu slammed the chair beside him, making a muffled sound, attracting the attention of countless people. Perhaps none of them expected that Zishu, the leader of the Kongsang clan, who claimed to have married the Dragon Clan, would sit here, followed by a small discussion around him.
Although he couldn't really hear it, he still heard someone in the crowd say: "How can he sit here, if someone from the barbarians mixes in, he will die......" "It's really ungrateful, the leader of the Long tribe helped him clear those barbarians, and he even dared to ask for divine soldiers from others." "Did you hear that he almost killed the deputy leader of the Dragon Clan......"
When Zishu heard this, he felt a chill behind him. Although he repeatedly put pressure on Long Qiupeng, the reason why he didn't make trouble for Long Qiupeng in person was very simple, that is, he didn't want the surrounding tribes to know that he had broken with the Long tribe even more than Long Qiupeng.
Long Qiupeng is famous, those barbarians will naturally choose to avoid it, at this time, whoever has a bad relationship with Long Qiupeng may become the target of public criticism.
Just when Zishu didn't know how to react, the deer personally pressed a person and came to Zishu, who seemed to be a barbarian from the outfit.
Before Zishu could report anything, the man suddenly struggled and almost rushed out and pounced on Zishu. Fortunately, the warriors of the Long Clan immediately pressed him to the ground, which made him honest.
Although the barbarian didn't rush out, it still really scared Zishu. Unlike Long Qiupeng, Zishu has hardly been on the battlefield, and he has never been in close contact with people. Faced with such a thing, his legs weakened and he sat on the ground.
Seeing that Zishu was already frightened, the deer spoke: "Lord Zishu, this is my subordinate caught outside the city, for your safety, please come with me to the room to rest." ā
Zishu was frightened, and he didn't care whether what the deer said was true or false, so he followed him back to the room to rest. What everyone didn't expect was that Zishu was so frightened that he actually started a fever, and he slept in a daze for two days before he got better.
By the time he came to his senses again, the wedding of Long Qiupeng and Xi had already come to an end, and the leaders of the other tribes had also left.
"Brother ......" Although Zi Zhi has decided to follow the deer and be a woman of the Long tribe with peace of mind, she is still very worried about her biological brother. Seeing that his brother had finally woken up, Ziori wiped his somewhat red and swollen eyes and smiled at him.
Zishu, who woke up here, suddenly took Zi Ori's hand and said, "Conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy! This must have been done by Long Qiupeng! ā
Zi Weaving was in pain when Zishu pulled the quilt, she shook off Zi Shu's hand and said, "What are you talking about! ā
"He wants to kill me! How can you watch them kill me! Zishu was a little hysterical, and the waves that day made him have no time to think, and after sleeping for many days, he came to his senses and guessed one or two of them.
broke with Kongsang, and it was known that Long Qiupeng once wanted to marry Xixu to Zishu, and later regretted marrying this matter, which was not a good thing for the Long tribe, so Zishu, who was highly nervous at the time, tacitly thought that this matter must not have been done by Long Qiupeng.
But now that he has pieced together all kinds of coincidences, he finds that this link is too appropriate, and it makes people feel unreal. After thinking about it, since Long Qiupeng specially arranged that position for him, everything was wrong, maybe the people who came and went around him were all arranged by Long Qiupeng a long time ago.
At this time, Long Qiupeng pushed the door and came in, he looked at Zishu with a smile, but said to Zi Weaving: "You go out first, the problem between me and your brother, the two of us will solve it." ā
Zi Zhi glanced at Long Qiupeng with some concern, he knew that Long Qiupeng was the kind of person who was gentle when he should be gentle, but he would never be soft when he should be ruthless, so he was still a little worried about his brother's fate.
Seeing Zi Weaving's hesitation, he smiled and said, "It's just a deal, it's just a bargain, I don't need to do anything with him." ā
