Chapter 21: Zhang Tao, the leader of the barbarian tribe
The territory of the barbarian tribe is much more vast than Ye Gucheng imagined, and it has been three days along the way, passing through several large or small affiliated tribes, and also experiencing the different customs and customs between various tribes, but what interests him the most is the talent between various tribes that he learned from Zhang Tianci's mouth, making clothes and accessories, making iron tools, etc., which are all urgently needed by him in the later period. Of course, during these three days, he gradually understood the essentials of horseback riding, although he still couldn't do it handy, at least not to show off his appearance.
Xuanyuanxiu After Ye Gucheng's enlightenment for several days, his mood gradually improved, and when he went out of the village for the first time, he faced the temptation of all kinds of novelties, but he slowly forgot his sorrow, had a lot of fun, and soon became one with Zhang Tianci, the navigator.
She is naturally beautiful, and after wearing tailor-made women's clothes, she is like a fairy, not only does she lose her mind to all men, but even Zhang Yueli, who is a daughter, is jealous.
Zhang Yueli never thought that a girl could see such unreasonableness, even if she was disgusted with being a daughter, she had to admit that few normal men could resist the temptation of Xuanyuan Xiu.
Of course, there is more than one person who is jealous!
Ye Gucheng deliberately didn't look at it, and even repeatedly convinced himself in his heart that everything was for the alliance to deal well, in order to better integrate into this tribe, but Yu Guang still couldn't help but secretly peek at the two people who were talking happily, especially when they saw Zhang Tianci and Xuanyuan Xiu suddenly dismount, and then ran hand in hand to the mountains and forests, they almost fell off the horse.
Damn it!
Does this dead girl know what she's doing?
Damn! Actually casually let people hold hands?
Still drilling in the grove with people?
"If you don't worry, follow up! Don't think you're worried! I'm still worried that my brother has been abducted!" Zhang Yueli really couldn't stand it.
"Ha!" Ye Gucheng smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly explained: "Deputy Head Zhang, don't get me wrong, Xiu'er is innocent and simple, and Brother Ling is also the dragon and phoenix among people, I absolutely believe that they are just pure friendship, nothing else." ”
"Hypocrisy!" Zhang Yueli really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she simply rode her horse first.
Ye Gucheng opened his mouth and closed it with a wry smile. Yourself, you are indeed hypocritical enough!
Xuanyuan Xiu quickly came out of the forest, but there were some more wild fruits in his hand, and he rode his horse in front of Ye Gucheng, handed out a few fruits and said: "Gucheng, look, there are fruits to eat, I just ate them, they are very sweet, you can taste them." ”
"Little gluttonous cat, look at you, your face is dirty!" Ye Gucheng took the fruit and chuckled to help Xuanyuan Xiu wipe the stains off his face. He liked it very well when the other party called him, in fact, this title was the result of his persistence for the past two days.
Zhang Tianci saw this scene from afar, and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and rode his horse to catch up with Zhang Yueli. "Sister, I see that you have a good impression of Ye Gucheng, or you will marry him!"
"Then you can marry Xuanyuan Xiu, right?" Zhang Yueli glanced at angrily.
"That's right! That straw bale is good for nothing except barbecue, and Xuanyuan Xiu can't be ruined. Zhang Tianci is very frank.
"So, you just let Sister Ah go and be ruined by him, right?" Zhang Yueli's eyes flashed with a dangerous aura.
"No, sister, you are so domineering, if he makes you unhappy, you will kill him, oops!" Zhang Tianci was kicked off the horse before he finished speaking.
"If you don't put away your careful thoughts, don't think I'll take you out in the future. Zhang Yueli scolded angrily and rode away.
It's finally here!
When Ye Gucheng saw the giant yurts from afar, he knew that they had finally arrived at the final destination of this trip, the most axial area of the Tuban tribe!
The yurt is surrounded by a high wooden fence and a large wooden gate in the center, with towering watchtowers and watchtowers at the front.
Patrols patrolled back and forth, heavily guarded, and the barracks were stationed around the gate, of course, the soldiers inside naturally could not be compared with the Evil Shura Legion, they did not have regular armor, just cloth exercises, and when they saw the returning legions, they all showed envious eyes.
Who doesn't want to be the elite of the elite, every evil Shura army is carefully selected, and only 10,000 of the 60,000 regular troops can join the Shura army, as for these irregular troops, it is even more distant!
Zhang Yueli settled down the soldiers, and took his younger brother and Ye Gucheng and others to the handsome tent.
The so-called handsome tent, in fact, is a yurt close to the barracks, this yurt is very large, but the decoration is simple, in addition to placing some weapons on both sides, there are a few empty Taishi chairs, in the middle is sitting a middle-aged man, thick eyebrows and bronze eyes, the face of the national character is not angry and mighty.
With just one glance, Ye Gucheng roughly guessed that this person must be the supreme leader of the barbarian tribe - Zhang Tao!
"Father, the daughter did not disgrace the mission, led the 3,000 Shura Legion to defeat the Montenegrin clan, destroyed its affiliated Tu Chieftain barracks, and it is estimated that the Montenegrin clan will not dare to invade the territory again in a short time. Zhang Yueli knelt on one knee and clenched her fists to report the results.
"Father, and me, I also killed the Montenegrin people to the point of losing their armor. Zhang Tianci was naturally not to be outdone, and invited merit to curry favor.
"Okay, good, my son is good, really brave, get up!" Zhang Tao nodded very gratefully, and immediately set his eyes on the two of Mo Lizhong.
Ye Gucheng naturally noticed the gaze that came, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Hello Captain Zhang, I am from the Xuanyuan Clan of the Warcraft Forest, I came to discuss the alliance with the nobles on behalf of my clan, I wonder if it is convenient for Captain Zhang at this time?"
The reason why Ye Gucheng called Zhang Tao the head of the regiment was because he learned from Zhang Yueli's mouth that although Zhang Tao was the leader of the barbarian tribe, he was also the leader of the Evil Shura Legion, and he was proud of it.
"Ye Gongzi, your intention, Yueli has already explained it in the letter, and I understand it! It's just that it's getting late at this time, so it's better to rest for one night and discuss it tomorrow. Zhang Tao's expression was flat, and he could neither agree nor object.
Ye Gucheng didn't understand that the other party was deliberately shirking, at this time the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was still early before nightfall, so how could he say that it was too late! He didn't even bother to think about the excuse of shirking, but he was afraid that the negotiation would not go too smoothly! It's just that since the other party had issued an order to expel the guest, continuing to entangle him would not only be not beneficial, but would be counterproductive! Immediately, he nodded hurriedly and said: "In this way, there will be the head of Lao Zhang! The boy will step back first and come back tomorrow to pay a visit." ”
"Ci'er, Ye Gongzi is a guest from afar, so you can take him to the guest account, so that you can entertain him, and you must not be lazy. ”
"Don't worry, father, I will definitely entertain Xiu'er and them" Zhang Tianci directly ignored Ye Gucheng, walked towards Xuanyuan Xiu very happily, took her hand and whispered as he walked, completely ignoring Ye Gucheng's angry eyes behind him.
Zhang Tao witnessed the departure of outsiders, slowly turned his gaze, and his face sank. "Zhang Yueli, are you guilty?"
"Back to my father, I don't know what the crime is, please let me know. Zhang Yueli is not an idiot, she knows the answer from her father quietly driving Ye Gucheng away.
"What a crime!" Zhang Tao slapped the handrail heavily and stood up suddenly. "Could it be that you have made a mistake in the war? A foreigner who cannot protect himself wants to pray for the protection of our tribe to send troops, and the Lao tribe hurts people, so with such ill intentions, you dare to introduce it?"
"Back to my father, I introduced Ye Gucheng to the survival plan of the clan. ”
"Bastard!" Zhang Tao angrily scolded: "We survive well, what other big plan do we need? Could it be that you want to raise your clan to start a war and let the clan fall into dire straits? Let me tell you, how did the people bring it back, you will send it back to me." ”
"It's good to survive!" Zhang Yueli couldn't help but sneer, and sneered at each other: "Father, could it be that you really forgot?"
"What did I forget?" Zhang Tao didn't like his daughter's attitude at the moment.
"Eight years ago, the Black Mountain Clan seized our Longxi Mountain Plains and slaughtered the two affiliated tribes of Guiyuan and Tufan! Five years ago, the Holy Fire Sect seized the highlands of our mountain ape, plundered and killed the plateau tribes, attacked the plateau barracks, and caused heavy casualties to our army! Three years ago... ”
"That's enough!" Zhang Tao's face twitched for a long time before he sighed and slowly continued: "I know that you have hatred in your heart, and you also know that Ye Gucheng is just a reason, and it is actually you who really want to go to war! But my son, right now, we need to recuperate in order to repay later!"
"Father, Shuai! In this land, we have no security at all! In the past, there were still barbarian tribes suppressing us, and the tribes did not dare to do anything to us, but now that the barbarians have declined, we can only protect ourselves, but how long can we protect ourselves? In just a few decades, we have lost an inch of our territory, not only have no one to save us, but even worse, they are insatiable and want to divide and occupy our territory, what is the reason? Is it not because we are from the Nansheng Continent! In their eyes, we belong to a different species! Those who are not of our race will have different hearts! Now it's just the Black Mountain Clan and the Holy Fire Sect that are eating us alone, if one day, their two clans are united, where should we live in peace!" It is undeniable that Zhang Yueli does have a unique vision, and it is precisely when she sees this that she is worried, and she has repeatedly advocated attacking to break the situation, but her father will not allow it! Now that Ye Gucheng has taken the initiative to send it to the door, she feels that it is the best time.
"My father trained you as a boy since I was a child, and I searched for a famous swordsman for you, just hoping that you could protect your family and clan like a man, not to let you rush forward, don't forget, you are only a deputy regiment leader, not yet a regiment leader, let alone the leader of our clan, you have no right to decide the rise and fall of our clan. Zhang Tao was really angry this time.
"Father... ”
"You remember for me, always in my heart, you are just a general, even in the future, I am old and dead, the leader is your brother, not you, as a general, you must learn to abide by your duty, if you commit it again, you will never be spared. Zhang Tao really didn't want to continue to entangle, so he waved his hand and scolded angrily: "Stand down." ”
"Obey!" Zhang Yueli sighed in her heart and slowly turned to leave. "In any case, please also ask my father to meet Ye Gucheng, listen to what he has to say, if it is not feasible, then deal with it separately!"
Zhang Tao looked at the departing figure and sat down weakly.
He didn't understand the situation of the family, but as a leader, he was thinking about the prosperity and tranquility of the entire family, and if he was not sure of the battle, he must not fight, he could not lose, and he could not afford to lose!
Moreover, he was also familiar with the temperament of the indigenous people, and it was expected that the Black Mountain tribe would not dare to attack easily, after all, there were other tribes in this land, and any tribe would invade other tribes, regardless of victory or defeat, it would inevitably break the lunch for other tribes.
Xuanyuan?
Zhang Tao recalled the tribe in Ye Gucheng's mouth, and he couldn't think of any information about this family even after racking his brains!
