When they went on the road again, the atmosphere was very different, the Yahan tribe from the patriarch to Gaoyi to an ordinary member, all of them were full of spring breeze, talking and laughing along the way, and it was almost noon, and they came to the first market town that Zhao Tianci had seen since entering the desert: Quarry Town.

Zhao Tianci finally saw the real tent.

The population of Quarry Town is not very large, but it is relatively sparsely distributed, and it looks a bit like a family living alone, although there is a connection, but the sense of independence is stronger.

The snow wolf skin and flesh in their hands immediately became the focus of attention.

However, according to Cheng Gaoyi, this place is still two days away from the stone town of Klee, and the things in their hands cannot be bought and sold.

When the people who gathered around learned that these things were to be offered to their great chieftain, they were also full of reluctance, but they could only accept it.

So when they stopped for a moment and set off again, the men still looked at them with reluctance, hoping that they would leave something behind.

Zhao Tianci's mood is very complicated.

Now these tribal people have not completely departed from that very primitive state of existence, regardless of men, women, old and children, the expressions on their faces are amazingly consistent, that is, numbness! It is only when you see the food that you change slightly. The harsh living environment keeps them on the verge of survival and death, and they have no chance to think about other things.

"Patriarch, is this the case with our clan?" Zhao Tianci asked.

Cheng Gaoyi sighed and said, "These people have no faith, and death will come to them at any time, which is no different from the walking dead. Although our people worship the god of thunder, their living environment is also harsh, and they are ...... It's not much stronger. ”

Zhao Tianci was in a heavy mood, he thought of immigration, but immediately dispelled this idea, although the west is located in the polar region, but the location is too important, and the powerful tribal forces bred here must be controlled.

Cheng Gaoyi saw that he was silent, thinking that he had other ideas, "Holy King, you don't have to live with us, after accepting the worship of the people of the tribe, the Holy King can return to the Central Plains." ”

Zhao Tianci smiled, knowing that he was thinking wrong, "Patriarch, since you have regarded me as the Holy King, I naturally have the obligation to work for the benefit of my own people. If you are still worried about your survival, and I am well-fed, then what qualifications do you have to be your holy king? ”

Cheng Gaoyi was slightly moved, "The reality is like this, although it was better when the spring rain came, but the war also followed, although there was no war in winter, but God didn't open his eyes, there was no way!" ”

This topic is too heavy, and Zhao Tianci doesn't have any good way to solve it, confront God, just talk about it, if you really want to do it, I'm afraid you will be the first to be struck by lightning.

Everyone walked for a while, and the quarrying town was already far away, and Zhao Tianci still looked back at it from time to time, quite a little reluctant.

In fact, it's not that he has any nostalgia for this place, but that Wan Linggen values this place more. According to the results of his and the Seven Holy Gu's research on the Nine Shadows Great Array, it would be an excellent choice to arrange a node here, but at present, there is basically no such possibility, and he is not sure when he will return here again, and it is really not his wish to give up this place, so he is very hesitant.

However, in the eyes of Cheng Gaoyi and the others, his action was a different idea, they thought that their holy king was merciful and concerned about the people's livelihood. This is a bit outrageous, to say that Zhao Tianci may have other advantages, but he is decisive in killing, but it has nothing to do with compassion and people's livelihood.

After walking a short distance, the two cars full of snow wolves suddenly fell into the snow pit and could not get out, and everyone went into battle and carried it out with all hands and feet. But after not taking a few steps, he fell into it again.

Cheng Gaoyi frowned and said, "What's the matter, this road has been walked no less than a dozen times, when have there been so many pits!" ”

Zhao Tianci walked over and took a look, "This is deliberately arranged by someone." ”

Cheng Gaoyi was stunned for a moment, "Deliberately? There are no robbers in this area! ”

Zhao Tianci said, "If you look carefully, the snow in front of you is different from other places, there are traces of being trimmed, let's just walk around." ”

Cheng Gaoyi observed carefully, and sure enough, he found that the snow on the top of the pit was dug up and backfilled, so he ordered everyone to go around these places, although walking slower, it was much better than getting stuck and not moving.

Zhao Tianci still looked back from time to time, this time he was not looking at the quarry town that had long since lost its shadow, but to observe whether anyone was following behind. Since it took so much effort to get these pits out, someone will inevitably be watching. But they had already walked out of the area where the trap had been laid, and no one had come out, which made him feel very strange.

After about an hour, after walking less than two miles, I could no longer walk.

Zhao Tianci finally understood why someone had set up a pit but no one was watching.

In front of them, there was a "sinkhole" several zhang deep and dozens of zhang wide, which surrounded their team in an arc from left to right.

Looking back now, when they left, the expressions of those people in Quarry Town were not simply "numb"!

Cheng Gaoyi's face was solemn, "It seems that someone has premeditated this!" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "This should be newly excavated, and the snow on it is still freshly turned out, it seems that the people in Quarry Town are still working hard for our goods." ”

Cheng Gaoyi frowned and said, "Did someone from Quarry Town do it?" If you have the ability to dig such a deep ditch, why not just grab it? ”

Han Ping said, "I'm afraid their purpose is more than that. ”

The crowd followed his gaze and were shocked to find that there were 100 people on the opposite embankment, armed with bows and arrows, aiming at them.

Cheng Jike suddenly shouted, "Dad, they are from the Morji tribe, and the leader is Kubli, I know him!" ”

Cheng Gaoyi's brows relaxed, and he smiled faintly, "This is the right way!" Kubli, you've been staring at us for a long time, haven't you? ”

Although the other side was dozens of feet away, the voice could be heard clearly, and a big man wrapped in fur laughed and said, "Cheng Gaoyi, why do you need to think so much about dealing with your mere Yahan people?" I'm waiting for someone else! ”

Zhao Tianci's heart moved, and he said in a low voice, "He is waiting for the Wolf King?" ”

Cheng Gaoyi's face changed, "You are at war with the Klee Ministry?" ”

Kublai said, "I didn't intend to move your mind, but since you have the goods, leave it to us." Old neighbor, you can't let us run for nothing, can you? ”

Cheng Gao Yi said, "Leave it to you?" Will you be able to bring back your Morgi tribe? ”

"Then you don't have to worry about it!" Kubli pointed behind him, "You have no choice, our strong bows and crossbows will have no problem shooting you through." ”

Cheng Gaoyi asked in a low voice, "Holy King, what do you think we should do?" ”

Zhao Tianci thought for a while and said, "Give it to them!" But write down the note, or you will be struck! ”

Cheng Gaoyi hesitated for a moment and said in a loud voice, "Okay! Kubli, my Yahan tribe and your Morji tribe are also considered to have a good relationship, although there are often disputes, but they are far from the point of fighting each other. I can leave you these furs, but you have to write a note for me, and I will ask for a favor from the chief of your family. ”

"Want a favor? Hahaha! Kublai laughed, "The great leader of Cheng is really interesting, since you want this note, I will give it to you!" As he spoke, he asked someone to take a pen and paper and instructed, "You go over and count the number, and then sign it for the leader of Chengda!" ”

When Zhao Tianci was wondering how their people came over, he saw that the two of them slid down the embankment slope directly, and after coming here, they touched it underneath, and then climbed up with their hands on the snow on the slope. It turned out that they had set up hidden piles on the slope.

The two men didn't say much when they came up, but went directly to the two cars and carefully checked the goods.

"Cheng Da Leader, a total of one thousand and ninety snow wolves, right?" One of them asked.

"That's right!" Cheng Gao Yidao.

"Dad, why do you want to give it to them?" Cheng Jike asked through gritted teeth.

The two glanced at Cheng Jike, "It's okay if you don't give it, then you can become a hedgehog." ”

"What did you say?" Cheng Jike glared angrily, the two obviously knew him, and said to Cheng Gaoyi, "Big leader, take care of your son-in-law!" ”

Cheng Gaoyi glared at Cheng Jike, "Shut up!" ”

Cheng Jike looked at the absent-minded Zhao Tianci and obediently shut up.

After the inventory was completed, the two men shouted to the other side, "My lord, all the goods have been counted and can be received." ”

Kubli said, "Good! Cheng Da Chief, come here! ”

Cheng Gaoyi waved his hand, "Let's go!" Although everyone was a little reluctant, no one dared to disobey the patriarch's order, and he continued to follow Cheng Gaoyi and walked down the dark pile on the slope.

Zhao Tianci was still a little worried, at this time they were at the bottom of the slope, Kubli and the others were at the top of the slope, and the distance was so close, if the other party had different intentions, they only needed to shoot a little, and they would all have to be reimbursed, "Patriarch, will they ......?"

Cheng Gao said, "No! If there is a covenant, it must be observed, and this is the rule between our tribes. Besides, Morgi doesn't have the audacity to declare war on us yet. ”

Sure enough, when they reached the bottom of the opposite bank, Kublai ordered his men to make way of a gap, and "the great chief can climb up along here." ”

Cheng Gaoyi groped twice on the slope, and sure enough, he found that there were wooden stakes buried under the snow, and he could use his strength, so he led everyone to climb up.

Kubli touched his chest with his right hand and bowed, "Great chief! ”

Cheng Gaoyi didn't move, and when he got up, he asked, "Kubli, if you can tell me how to carry these things through the Kli Division, I will tell you another extremely important thing." ”

Kubli was stunned for a moment, "Another piece?" (To be continued.) )
