Chapter 16: Behind Enemy Lines

Long Qiupeng said that he was going to visit the Lu tribe, but unexpectedly, he asked Xi for the thinnest wild boar, and selected a few wounded people who had just recovered from a serious illness as his entourage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all the things he had been through, Brook no longer raised eyebrows at him. Regarding Long Qiupeng's arrangement, she neither asked a word nor said a word, and even smiled at him when she handed over the wild boar to him.

But because Dahu didn't know what medicine he was buying in his gourd, he followed behind Long Qiupeng, talking to himself for a while, and looking at Long Qiupeng for a while, until he walked for a long time, he cautiously asked, "Is this going to attack the Lu Clan?" ”

Long Qiupeng looked at Dahu's weak and bullying appearance, smiled and said, "Now? What do you want? Didn't they ask for ten bucks? Ye will carry forward the style and deliver it to his door! ”

Dahu didn't understand what he knew, but he still shook his hand in horror and said, "But he wants ten deer, and they will be angry if they are so bad!" ”

"If you can carry it, I'll take something else!" Of course, Long Qiupeng was not for such a reason, but his true intentions, he didn't want the timid Dahu to know about it for the time being, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hide it at all.

Sure enough, Dahu, who had no strength, heard Long Qiupeng's proposal, and he was dumbfounded. But his face was still pale, and it seemed that this trip was to follow Long Qiupeng to death.

Long Qiupeng pursed his lips, thinking about what kind of psychological burden the Furnace tribe had caused to Dahu, and finally he patted Dahu on the shoulder and said, "I didn't say that I had to repay the debt......" Dahu looked up at Long Qiupeng when he heard this, and Long Qiupeng smiled at him, which made Dahu's somewhat pale face regain some blood.

Long Qiupeng, who has always been in a hurry, seems to be very unhurried today. Even Long Qiupeng and Lu could easily carry them to the Lu tribe, but now they let these sick numbers and Dahu take turns to carry them.

With such a composition, it barely takes long to stop and rest. But Long Qiupeng was neither angry nor anxious, but often took care of the other party with the people: "Don't be reluctant." ”

When the sun was about to set in the west, Long Qiupeng and his party arrived at the Furnace Clan, and what caught their eyes were rows and rows of pointed wooden stakes, fixed with rough and solid bronze. On the four corners of the tribe, there is also a watchtower-like structure, and the whole tribe has begun to take on the appearance of the later city.

Probably because the Furnace tribe is also a well-known and powerful tribe around, the door of the tribe is open during the day, and there are few guards, and only someone can be seen sleeping on a watchtower. It wasn't until Long Qiupeng entered the gate that he attracted the attention of some people.

"We are the leaders of the Dragon Clan, and we hope to meet your leader." As soon as Dahu entered the wall of the Furnace Clan, his face began to turn pale, and he was originally expected to match the two sides, but now he had to let the deer do the things that were reported by the road.

Although no one responded on the surface, Long Qiupeng had already swept a person and quickly flashed into the depths of the tribe, probably to report the news. However, he knew that there must be difficulties, and the young alien leaders of the two tribes were wiped out in one fell swoop, and no matter which arrogant original leader saw him, his first reaction would be to rub his majesty.

He just took advantage of the time of the other party's "arrangement" to take a closer look at the surrounding scene, and the scene blocked by the fence was all presented in front of him at this time.

The tribe is surrounded by walls on three sides and is bordered by water on one side, which is much closer to the shore of the lake than the former site of the pottery department. However, the terrain of the Furnace tribe is much higher than the surrounding area, so as long as it is not a major flood, this place is relatively safe. The flood that caused devastating damage to the old site of the pottery department did not leave a trace in this tribe.

There is a small pier on the edge of the lake, and there are boats moored on the pier, and there are many fishing nets and harpoons near the pier, which also look very shabby, but there are still some dried fish in the tribe's drying yards, which have not yet dried. Only then did Long Qiupeng know that his puppet tribe was not just the only one.

In contrast to the cold sight of the lake, a tribal smelting center was built on the side away from the lake. At the entrance of the tribe, there are often carts and ox carts alternately pulling turquoise rough stones in and out. In the distance, I saw countless stove smoke floating on that side, and there was a clanging sound from time to time.

Next to it are some pottery kilns, which seem to be much more advanced than the old site of the pottery department, and it seems that there are still reservations for the pottery furnace tribe.

Looking at the clansmen in the tribe again, in addition to those arrogant Lu clan people, there are also a large number of other tribes in the tribe, including the old Taobu people who are dressed similarly to Dahu, and some clansmen he has never seen at all, these people are the same as Dahu, their faces are pale and their eyes are terrified.

For the Furnace tribe, apart from the fact that the goods were not completely private, and all slaves belonged to the entire tribe, there was not much difference from the slave society.

He sighed secretly, the Furnace tribe seems to have completely given up production and implemented the development route of external expansion and plunder, which also means that war can happen at any time if you don't agree with each other, if you seem too weak, you will have no right to speak, but if you appear too strong, it is to print unnecessary wars, and the difference between flattery and forbearance is only an inch, and everything must be done carefully.

Long Qiupeng was still quietly checking the surrounding situation, but the deer was a little impatient, and leaned into Long Qiupeng's ear and said, "Leader, let's go!" Big deal! We are not afraid! ”

Long Qiupeng pulled the deer, shook his head, and asked him to speak carefully, just as he wanted to tell him that he knew what he knew, Qingmang from afar came out. Long Qiupeng frowned, and said in his heart: It's not simple, the time is so accurate.

Qingmang is still the original unruly and unruly attitude, with his nostrils facing the sky. But Long Qiupeng didn't and didn't have to take it to heart, this person was just a chess piece in the hands of the leader of the Lu Clan, and now he threw it out to try his own state.

Long Qiupeng, who originally planned to negotiate, needed to change his mind, in order to avoid the other party's mentality of "it's too troublesome to tame him, get rid of it", he had to make himself look more docile, so for Qingmang's pride, he didn't even let the deer endorse him, but said to the other party in person: "Lord Qingmang, we also want to gather tribute food as soon as possible, but you see ......" He didn't say any more, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the only one who was in good health behind him was the half-sized deer.

If it was in the Dragon Envoy Tribe, Long Qiupeng deigned to talk to him like this, he would have been fluttering for a long time, but now he just waved his hand with a cold expression, and said lightly: "Leave things behind, our king still has important things to deal with, you go and rest first......

Long Qiupeng saluted him, followed a few slaves and turned to leave, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly when he carried Qingmang on his whole body.

It took the slave to take them to a remote side room and stop, and then left. Long Qiupeng hadn't lived in a decent house for a long time, so he didn't know if this room was an upper or lower room here.

Dahu seemed to have been frightened, and when he entered the house, he sat down on one side, but the deer vigilantly took a few people to inspect the front and back of the house a few times to see if there was anything unusual.

Long Qiupeng was not worried, he sat at the table and drank water, anyway, the only people in the world who can communicate with him normally now are deer, without deer, even the people of the Long tribe may not be able to understand what he says, let alone the people of the Lu tribe.

"Chief! You're still laughing! Although the deer is brave, but after all, he has not experienced any big scenes, and he is nervous, and when he sees Long Qiupeng, who has a too leisurely attitude, he is not consciously blamed.

Long Qiupeng saw that he was really a little angry, so he said, "Hmph, I see you, you are becoming more and more like your sister." ”

"It's a matter of survival, it's not a joke." The deer who grew up little by little, and his thoughts about the country and the people became more and more like his sister.

Long Qiupeng saw that his sister and brother were loyal, and decided to tell him something, so as not to make him so restless all the time, a big lake is enough, and if something happens to the deer, he may not be able to go back.

"Good news, bad news." Long Qiupeng forced the deer to be quiet, sat next to him and listened to him: "The good news is that we still have room for negotiation before winter, so as long as we are accurate." Not only will we be able to return to the tribe safely this time, but we will also be able to order something good from him to go back. ”

But the deer was still expressionless and nervous. He didn't seem to care too much about it. In his opinion, the tribe that has turned the world upside down is not lacking at all, and relatively speaking, he is more concerned about what the bad news is.

Long Qiupeng saw his thoughts, and didn't sell much of it, and then said: "The bad news is that even if we listen to them in everything, they will still wage war against us in the spring. ”

Lu widened his eyes and looked incredulous, in their concept, unless their survival was threatened like the Tao Department or the wandering tribe, they would take the initiative to wage war with the outside world, but he didn't know that in the Furnace tribe, where science and technology are developing rapidly, people's desires are growing, and the private system is germinating.

The leader of the Furnace tribe, no matter how clever he was, could not see through history, and he must now think that he could satisfy his people's ever-expanding private desires by plundering more things. Therefore, the war of foreign plunder is already on the string, and it is about to break out.

The deer was surprised and surprised, and asked dreamily, "How do you know?" ”

Long Qiupeng actually knew that Lu was asking himself how he knew that there would be a war in the spring, but on the one hand, this matter was still his guess, he didn't want Lu to feel more uneasy, on the other hand, he didn't want to talk too much about it now, anyway, in his plan, he was going to kill the opponent before winter, so he deliberately diverted the topic.
