His eyes changed suddenly, Ning Yue turned his head slightly, and only used a touch of afterglow to look at the sudden arrival. His figure was still standing in the shadows, and with the trembling refractive cloak of hunting, it was naturally impossible to recognize his true identity at the first time.
However, the necessary preparations are still needed, the Xuan Force in both wrists is already condensing, and the two condensing light sword blades can emerge from the sheath at any time. This time, in order to disguise himself, he did not wear the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword, and the only blade he could rely on was the Condensing Light Blade Ring.
"Your Excellency doesn't know who it is?"
He asked, nervous in his heart. These nomadic tribes were not fools, they were easily deceived, and he had been able to persuade those soldiers before, and it was by secretly guiding them step by step, making full use of their resentment and thirst for food.
However, if it is replaced by some relatively high-level generals, it is not so easy to lure the bait.
"Before asking someone where they came from, shouldn't you declare your identity first?"
The person who came was also dressed in the common clothes of these nomadic tribe demons, with several kinds of stitched animal skins on the periphery of the coarse cloth clothes, and they looked very fierce and wild in the blink of an eye. It's just that this person's body is not as strong as the previous soldiers, and his facial features are much more than Sven. Of course, it's only relatively.
Behind the man were more than a dozen guards, all armed with scimitars, with vigilant expressions.
With a cold snort, Ning Yue waved his hand to condense the sword blade and said, "My identity, this can be explained." As for the more accurate ones, it is not for you to be qualified to know. ”
The other party replied in a deep voice: "Light Sword, ragged cloak...... This outfit is indeed very similar to the Yin of the Eclipse. But whether you are or not is up for debate. As far as I know, the haughty Eclipse is not enough to talk to us nomadic tribes who are no different from barbarians in their eyes, let alone the most ordinary soldiers. ”
"Really?"
When the words fell, Ning Yue's figure disappeared in front of everyone. It's not a sudden jump, it's a visual obscurity. In the night, there was not the slightest breeze.
"Be careful, vigilance!"
The guards behind the leader hurriedly drank, and more than a dozen people jumped out with swords and protected him behind him.
However, at the same moment, the man shook his head and said, "No need, you guys are too slow. ”
The figure reappeared, Ning Yue was behind the person's side, and the condensing sword blade he handed out was on the opponent's side neck, and the cold green sword light was like a ghost fire, deep cold and weird.
"The eclipse is not your turn to judge. I like to do whatever I want, and I can talk to these people in your tribe for a while, so I just talk a few more words, isn't that okay? ”
"Absolutely."
The leader raised his hands and signaled surrender.
"Stand down, all of you—no, stay here, and I'm going to have a good chat with this guest in the tent. I don't know, this guest, is he willing? ”
"No need. Since you don't want to see me, I'll go. ”
Ning Yue withdrew his sword blade, turned and stepped into the shadows on the side.
Who knows, the man suddenly whispered, "If you leave, how can those human children be saved?" ”
Slightly stunned, Ning Yue didn't dare to be sure if this was a fraud, so he pretended to have nothing to do and replied: "The person who wants to exchange food is you, not me, I'm just talking about it casually." Just a few human children, do I need to care? ”
"I heard that the chief of the Tara tribe had a very happy meal today, and slaughtered two children at dinner. Later, maybe he'll be hungry for a late-night snack again, and even fewer will be able to save him. ”
With these words, Ning Yue's pace stopped, and he was sure that the person behind him should have deduced his identity. However, the other party did not break it, that is, it should be negotiable.
Seeing that Ning Yue stopped, the corner of the man's mouth twitched, and then said, "In order for us to be able to exchange for more food, can you bother this guest to help." After the deed is done, you will definitely be rewarded as you want. ”
"That's it, I'll leave tomorrow anyway, I'm not happy to hold my stomach, it's not bad to take this opportunity to mess around."
Ning Yue turned around, and under the leadership of the man, he entered a tent not far away, a simple tent built in, which was very clean.
"Tell me what you see and what you plan to do."
Da Ma sat on the side seat with a golden sword, Ning Yue was not afraid of deception, there were only two of them in the tent, even if it was surrounded outside, he could also kidnap the demon who seemed to be of a good status, so as to retreat.
The other sat on the main seat, nodded and replied, "You are not the shadow of the eclipse, are you?" Don't be nervous, even if you're from the human side, as long as there is no hostility towards us, I won't fight you, because we have a common purpose right now. ”
"You're smart and have good eyesight. Just help me like this, what will the rest of the tribe think of you later? Ning Yue smiled, grabbed a bone wine glass on the table, and turned it to play.
The man shook his head and sighed, "After that?" Whether there will be a future or not, I can't say for sure. This year, due to natural disasters, our tribe's grazing harvest was very poor, and we simply could not survive this winter. The reason why they forcibly attacked the impregnable border of mankind was that in addition to the desperate desire to seize some food, there was also a purpose, a very sad purpose...... That is, to consume the lives of some tribes and reduce the cost of food. ”
Ning Yue stared at each other's eyes and said with a smile: "But it is impossible for a dozen children to help you get much food, if you can't survive the winter." After changing, it still doesn't work. In other words, what you want to talk to me about is not just this cooperation. Is it this cooperation that shows its friendliness and lays the groundwork for other deals in the future? ”
"Not bad at all. It seems that I was right, you are not as simple as a scout infiltrator who obeys the orders of the human border generals. In fact, as early as a little over a month ago, when the army from further north arrived, I knew that they could not really help us. So when they left, I knew that there was no possibility of fighting alone. In order to preserve the continuity of the tribe, a concession must be made, a concession that may make the rest of the tribes hate us. That is, to make peace with humanity. ”
Speaking of this, the man stood up and spun around, and said with a smile: "This distinguished guest, you should be able to see that I am a little different from other clansmen, right?" ”
Ning Yue replied casually: "Hmm." You're a little less rugged, a little more Sven, a little more human. ”
The other party replied: "That's because my mother is human, and I also have half human blood in my body." To clarify, my mother was not robbed, but traveled with a caravan outside the customs and encountered a horse robbery, and met my father when she fled. My father rescued her and killed the horse. At this point, she volunteered to stay and serve my father. However, her body could not bear the bitter cold here, and she fell ill with her sword, and died when I was nine years old. When my mother left, she held my hand and told me that she hoped that one day the fighting would be subsided and the two communities would be able to do business normally. I hope that I can go to the frontier of all nations, the land where she grew up, and have a good look. ”
"Let's talk about your sincerity."
Ning Yue didn't say anything, but lowered his head and asked.
Yehou did not lose his enthusiasm because of this, came to Ning Yue's table, spread down a leather map, pointed to one on it, and said, "Seven years ago, an iron mine was discovered in this mountain range in my tribe's territory. It is not ordinary iron, according to the name of humans, it should be green jade iron, which can be used to temper green steel. I showed the rough to some passing merchants, and said that it was of high quality, but that it was too poor to refine it at the level of our nomadic tribes. However, we were able to do it, but we couldn't find a stable market before, and such a large-scale construction that consumed manpower and material resources was not cost-effective at all, so it had to be shelved. ”
Ning Yue understood and replied, "What do you mean is to regularly transport the raw stones of green jade and iron to the Snow Dragon Empire in exchange for enough food. And as long as food can be guaranteed, there will be no more wars, right? ”
"Yes. As for sincerity, tonight I will help you rescue the children who have been taken by the Tarab. It's just that the Tara tribe is warlike, and it is the most powerful among the tribes, so I can't gamble on the danger of annihilating the entire clan and act rashly. Besides, there are not many people who support me at the moment. Therefore, you must also send enough combat power on your side. At the very least, if you can kill Meng Han, the leader of the Tara tribe, and defeat his thousand guards, it is best to kill or capture his generalissimo Yue Yan on the spot. ”
Slammed the table, and under Yehou's palm was a jet-black ore with a few wisps of different colors.
Ning Yue naturally knew what it was in his heart, so he took it casually, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "Actually, even if I don't come tonight, you will find another way to negotiate with the human race." It's just that, it won't go so well, will it? ”
"That's right. So, God help me. Yehou nodded and smiled, clenching his fists in front of his chest.
However, Ning Yue suddenly put down the ore and said in a deep voice: "But, just by asking me to believe you, it doesn't seem to be enough, right?" In case this is a trap, it is also a good strategy to introduce the elite of the border pass into an ambush and take advantage of the situation to attack the city. ”
Yehou hurriedly explained, "No. In addition to the future of my clan, I also have my own selfish intentions, which are the heirs of my clan. My father loved me very much, but after all, I still had half of the human blood in my veins, and the rest of my brothers and the few high-ranking and powerful patriarchs in the clan would not agree to me becoming the next patriarch. However, as long as they were able to negotiate with humans successfully this time, they naturally did not dare to say anything. My position, that's stable. ”
Ning Yue snorted coldly: "If you deliberately set a trap as I said to slaughter the main force of the border guards, then the credit will not only be able to make your clansmen admire, but also get the support of the rest of the tribes." That way, you're in a more secure position. ”
"No, it's not!"
Ye Hou retreated again and again, shaking his hand desperately, and finally, even knelt directly on the ground.
"We ...... Can't afford to gamble. You're right, if you succeed in doing that, you'll be able to secure my status as heir. But the risk is too great, and if we lose, we may completely disappear from this wasteland. If you still don't believe me, I'm willing to go into the customs now. ”
Ning Yue got up and walked out of his seat, holding his hand: "Get up." If you enter the customs as a hostage, your heir status will not be stable. But you do need to go back with me before you do it tonight. I have a very low right to speak, and they can't believe it without you. Of course, before you go, tell everything. ”
Holding Ning Yue's palm tightly, Ye Hou said solemnly: "Definitely!" ”
