Lu Ying and the others had less goods on the way back, the horses ran briskly, and their tempers were much less.
"Lord Sacrifice, those people in the back don't seem to be able to keep up with us" Lu Ying rode close to Li Yue on her horse.
"Then let's take a break"
The people behind them had followed them as soon as they left the temple, and according to their spies, some of them were the same people who had taught them to farm, most of them were poorly dressed, and they were also emaciated and tired, presumably people living at the bottom.
The purpose of them keeping up was not clear, Li Yue wanted to wait for the face-to-face to ask again, but he didn't expect the other party to follow them and move, and they stopped as soon as they stopped, and they have never met face-to-face so far.
"Sacrifice to the lord, this is not a way, we ride faster than them, so it will take us a long time to return to the tribe"
"Okay, then you go and ask them what they want to do."
"Yes!"
"Hey, they've finally stopped!" The handsome guy who had asked them to farm before bent over and drank water from the edge of a puddle.
The same goes for those who travel with you.
"That's it, that's it! I almost thought I couldn't keep up! ”
"It's good to have horses!"
The man who had finished drinking the water lay on the grass, holding the grass in his mouth and said, "Did you say they would let us join?" ”
"Yes! Didn't they say even slaves? And the people of the tribe that disappeared before, I saw them too."
"That's just as well"
Everyone came down all the way, hungry and thirsty: "Hey, I'll see if there's anything to eat in this puddle" A man slowly went into the water, groping for the situation in the water with his hands.
The woman shouted, "Don't go, I don't know how deep this thing is, we'll just eat the wild vegetables on the ground!" ”
"You can do it, but the child can't!"
They were people from the bottom of the temple around the temple, and they were treated like slaves, so they spontaneously followed them to learn how to farm, wanting to support themselves, and they longed for the life that the Ji tribe said, hoping to support themselves with their own hands.
Unexpectedly, the fields they cultivated were occupied by those middle tribes, and they wanted them to farm for free.
A middle-aged man rubbed his feet and sighed: "Hey, if it weren't for their persecution, we wouldn't want to leave the place where we have lived for generations......
"What's there to be nostalgic for! Those medium and large tribes only know how to oppress our small tribes! "For young people, such a life has no meaning and no hope for the future.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, and sighed vigorously.
At this time, Lu Ying came on horseback, and the sound reached the ears of these people early.
"Did they find us?" The timid man said, "Are you going to kill us?" ”
"What are you thinking?" The man said disgustedly, "Sure enough, you shouldn't take a woman away, it's slow and verbose"
The other people who had planted the fields together comforted: "No" and looked at the horses that had come up to them.
"What are you doing with us?" Midori sat on the horses and looked at them high.
"Hello, Chief Green! We just want to join the Ji tribe! There is no malice, that's why I follow you! ”
"Join us? Why don't you just talk to us? Lu Ying saw a few people in the crowd who had planted the fields together: "Some of you have already received the seeds we have given, and it will not be difficult to survive in the future!" ”
Speaking of this, these people began to pour bitter water on Lu Ying, and after understanding what was going on, Lu Ying said, "You can join us, but you have to follow the rules and regulations of the Ji tribe."
The group hurriedly nodded: "Thank you!" We definitely abide by it! ”
"How many of you are there?"
"A total of 89 people with children"
Lu Ying looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled in the crowd: "The wounded among you, and those children, get on the horse, and the rest go on their own."
"Good! Thank you, Leader Green! The handsome guy laughed, and he knew that the people of the tribe were kind.
Li Yue looked at these people, and one of the faces that could not be ignored attracted him.
"Hey, you're here too?"
The handsome guy turned his head to look at Li Yue when he heard the voice, he didn't know Li Yue's identity at this time, he hugged him excitedly, and stretched out his hands to Li Yue's lower armpit and raised it.
Li Yue, who was really regarded as a child, was stunned.
"Stop!" Fei held down the hand that was raised up again: "Let go of him"
"Huh! Isn't that possible? The handsome guy was frightened by the serious fly.
"No, you can't! I'm not a child! Li Yue, who was struggling, said: "Let go of me!" ”
"Oh! I thought kids would love it! The handsome guy scratched his head embarrassedly, and he turned to fly: "I'm sorry, I made you and your son unhappy!" ”
"What, what?!" Li Yue was thundered.
Fei smiled and said: "He's not my son, he's the sacrificial lord of our Ji tribe!" ”
"Huh?! Sacrifice to the Lord? The handsome guy's eyes were all out of his sockets, and he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, sacrifice to the adult!" I didn't mean to offend! ”
"Ahem, forget it" Li Yue didn't care much.
The handsome guy said apologetically: "That, Lord Sacrifice, my name is Qiang"
"Qiang? Oh, I remember you."
There are many plains on the road, and there are many wild animals to see, among which I see many kinds of horses being chased, but unfortunately the horses run too fast, and those people are tired and fall to the ground without touching the horse's hair.
Encounter the Tin tribe again, and the other party has already exchanged their goods for more supplies and gold.
"What? You don't plan to ransom your son? Lu Ying looked at the gold on the table.
"Yes, these are the gold of the fixed commodity! We went to the door to pick up the goods in person after a long time," the original leader didn't give his son a look at all.
"You are giving us a person who eats and drinks for nothing" Lu Ying held her hands together: "We don't do this"
"No, you can call him as you please! You don't have to worry about security, he will protect himself! "The original leader will not take back the momentum of the water that has been spilled.
Sheng smiled on the side: "Leader Luying, it just so happens that I also yearn for the life of the Ji tribe!" Please take me, I'm also very powerful! ”
"Yes! My son can do anything! The Chief's Wife chimed in.
"Okay, but why don't you wait for the market to be built before trading goods, now our tribe is too far away from you, you don't have the tools to carry the fragile goods"
The original leader smiled: "Hehe, don't worry about this, we also learned from you to train some horses, and we can use them to carry them when the time comes, but we need you to sell us some horse equipment." ”
Lu Ying: "No problem. ”
Li Yue has been out for a long time this time, and it is already the beginning of autumn when he returns to the Ji tribe.
They were seen from a tribal watchtower in the distance, and a yellow flag was hung on it.
"It's the priest who has returned!" When the tribesmen saw the flag, they excitedly told each other.
"Really?! It's been a long time since I've seen a sacrifice! ”
"Let's go, let's go to the tribal city gate to greet the priest!"
"Good! Good! So saying, these people will put down their work and go out.
"What are you doing! Stop it! The person in charge dissuaded on the side: "Go again after you finish it, the sacrifice lord doesn't like people who skip work!" ”
"Yes, Lord Priest is very serious about his work," the clansman bowed his head.
"Forget it, I'll see it when I'm done early and go to dinner!" The clansmen next to him comforted.
After seeing that they were stable, the person in charge walked out of the factory and then rushed away.
"Haha! The Sacrifice is finally back! This time I must convince him that he must take me with him next time he goes out! As the wind ran, he made up his mind.
"Sacrifice to your lord! Welcome back! When the wind came to Li Yue, what he saw was a glimpse of the wall, and whether he died or not was some high-level person in charge.
"No, I've got to hide it!" If he is caught and the person in charge skips work, then he will die a miserable death!
Wind cowered and walked towards the side of the city wall, his eyes looking at the crowd, and suddenly he saw a stranger a little close to the priest.
"Huh? This is the clan of skipping classes? Feng saw what he was wearing, which was different from the style of the Knights, and thought that it might be an ordinary clansman, "Hehe, since there are the same people, then he won't be singled out if he slips away!" ”
So, the wind swaggered on the edge of the human wall.
"Lord Sacrifice, you seem to have lost weight this time!" Da Zhuang said worriedly.
"Yes! Come to the cafeteria, and we'll make you something delicious! Mika was distressed.
"Master! Master! Take me next time! Definitely won't make you any thinner! He tugged at the sleeves of Li Yue's clothes.
Shi Li, Liuli and other new leaders all nodded.
"That's it! That is, I can make the priest happy and happy with me! The wind squeezed in sideways.
Li Yue hadn't seen the wind for a long time, and this guy was still the same funny: "That's okay!" I'll bring you next time! ”
Before the wind came, he was so happy that he hugged his arms on the side and said gloomily: "Some people often skip work!" Are you skipping work now? ”
At this moment, under Li Yue's majestic gaze, the corners of the wind went down, and his hand pointed in the direction of Sheng: "That person also skips work!" ”
Everyone looked at Sheng, who was shocked, and he was confused: "Me? "He watched this episode and the tribe was in a state of fascination and didn't know what was going on.
Lu Ying knew that this thing wanted to divert attention: "He's not, he's from the Tin tribe!" ”
Li Yue was serious: "Feng, please return to your post immediately!" ”
"Okay, Lord Sacrifice!" What a mistake to think about!
The wind turned around lonely, and the one behind him was triumphant, and said with a smile in his heart, heh, I can't go out with the master, do you still want to? No way!
"Alright, I see a lot of new faces, let's have a meeting!"
"Sacrifice Lord this way, our conference room has changed location" Shi Li led the way.
When the crowd dispersed, the jade cat hidden in the garbage cans on the city wall also disappeared.
"Lord Sacrifice, these are the new tribes" Shi Li finished speaking to Li Yue, and then said to the other new leaders in the conference room: "You introduce yourself"
The current meeting room is a newly built bungalow, with a large interior, glass windows on all sides, equipped with curtains, candle stands in the window space, and a large oval table with greenery and a few kerosene lamps in the middle.
Everyone has a stack of paper and charcoal pens in their hands.
After the introduction of the first new leader to the last leader, Li Yue had already written down the names and circumstances of their respective tribes, and now there were 22 new tribes alone.
"You're very welcome to join the Ji tribe! In the future, we will work together to build a better tribe! ”
"Hmmm! Work together! The new leader was also very agreeable.
Next, Green Ying brought up all the important points they had seen and heard during their trip to the Northland, and said that each leader reacted differently to things.
"Lord Sacrifice, is there an inevitable war between the Northern Kingdom and the Beast Tribe!"
"That's for sure"
"If the northern kingdom wins, will it affect our tribe?" Even if the leader of the Ji tribe trusts Chiba no matter how much he trusts him, but for their new leader, this person is still a member of the beast tribe, and will the northern country take the opportunity to harvest the west and harvest it with them?
"No, we have already reached an agreement on this," Li Yue replied.
In fact, it is not an agreement, it is just a commitment to serve the family.
The rest of the people were still not at ease: "Sacrifice to your lord!" We should stop some of our work and train our warriors more to prepare for this war."
"Preparation must be done, but the work can't be stopped" Li Yue asked Jiang Zi again: "Jiang Zi, what is the population distribution of the tribe now?"
"Sacrifice to the lord, now the total population of the tribe is 21,600 people, of which 3/1 are warriors, and the rest of the knights and bull warriors have also reached the remaining 5/2, and they are all ordinary people, so it can be said that in terms of force, we have 13,000 people!"
Li Yue spread his hands: "Look, our armed forces have accounted for more than half of the population, so you don't have to worry too much, and we will have more clansmen to join, when the time comes, it is not that we are worried about others invading us, but that others are worried about us!" ”
The new leader's heart was shaken by this number, and one of the powerful leaders said, "Let's just go fight the beast tribe!" No need for the Northland! ”
"Have you forgotten the purpose of the Gathering Tribe?" Da Zhuang raised on the side.
The Leader: "It's not the same now!" Now we have everything! Why don't we show our strength?! ”
"What the Ji tribe wants is a fair, just, and peaceful continent! Not a tribe that provokes wars! Other old leaders retorted.
"I don't agree, you can't provoke a war," the leader of the glass and the leader of the small tree spoke at the same time.
The leader of Liuli said: "Now if our tribe provokes a war, it will not only deal with the west, I think the northern country is also very excited about the goods of our tribes, and when the time comes, it will be the offensive of most of the northwest and the northwest, which we can't afford!" ”
"The number of our tribe is still insignificant compared to theirs"
"What a rambling one!" The leader saw that many people were scared by the leader of the glass, and it was useless for him to bewitch him.
Li Yue: "Da Zhuang is right, the purpose of our tribe cannot be reversed, and now not only the west and the north, but also the people in the south are making trouble in it, at this time, we can't be targeted"
"South?" Some of the leaders lowered their heads and thought for a moment: "Lord Priest, the place where my tribe lives is close to the south, and I heard that they have been divided into four major parts in the south, and they all seem to be ready to move. ”
"4 majors?" Li Yue remembered the group of people who hunted the flash beast, and the 3 teams they were talking about at that time? Is it the meaning of 3 tribes? So where is the remaining one?
Thinking of this, she got up and explained to the people present that they had brought back those people.
"So, the two major tribes in the south and in the northwest have already started trouble?"
This is not good news, the leaders thought. One is bright and one is dark, and the strength of the south is not clear.
One of the leaders muttered, "Then the location of our tribe is the northwest and south button, will there be people from the south sneaking in?" ”
The rest of the leaders heard the statement: "Most likely, it will not be easy to get in through us, and the only way is for the people who have fled from the west."
Lucky people: "No way, although our tribe is rich, but compared to those fat meat in the west, it should be easier for them to go there"
"Don't forget, our tribe has few people, and those in the west have a large population."
"What? Do you look down on the force of our tribe? ”
Seeing that these people were about to quarrel, Li Yue supported his forehead, but it was not good that there were too many people, so he patted the table: "Stop arguing!" Now that we are stepping up our training and patrolling, the southerners in the northern kingdom will definitely know about our tribe through the goods, so they just need to be vigilant at all times."
"Now there is another problem, which is gold"
"Gold!" Many leaders don't know this thing yet: "What is this?" ”
Lu Ying took out the gold from the box on the ground: "This is gold" picked up a lump of about 100 grams, Lu Ying held it up and said: "Just such a small lump, you can exchange it for 4 pieces of cloth for us!" ”
"What!?" The leaders were stunned, pointed their fingers and said, "How much can such a small amount of gold exchange us for?" ”
Not to mention Shi Li's surprise, even Jiang Zi was secretly thinking.
"It's not the same as the value of our goods!"
"That's right! Sacrifice to your lords! We can't change it like this, it's a big loss! "The leader who spoke was the head of the garment department, and knew that this cloth was not easy to come by.
"You can't change it like this!" The rest of the leaders felt that it was impossible, they had all lived in bartering for so many years, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
"Why do you just exchange these things for these more things!"
The glass leader on the side looked at the things in Lu Ying's hand and looked a little familiar, and his hand held his chin and didn't speak.
"Do you know how many Bala beasts can be exchanged for 5 lumps like this?" Lu Ying paused, "A full 20 full-grown Balramon!" ”
"Ahh The leaders were amazed again! "So much?"
Bala is recognized as the best-tasting, fattest beast, how can it be exchanged for so many heads with these things? That's just amazing.
"But how did you get it?"
"Gotcha? What do you have to do? I still think this thing is too bad! Those northern countries easily got these and wanted to exchange so many of our materials, how much time and energy do we have to waste to make goods? These northerners are so treacherous! ”
The leader knew that Li Yue and they had brought a lot of goods over, and he thought that he could exchange a lot of good things and come back, but he didn't expect to be sent away by these stones, and he sincerely felt that it was not worth it.
Li Yue: "However, this thing was made by southerners!" The northern kingdom is the victim, and now those big tribes have used this as a means of circulation, and many tribes are using gold, and it is an inevitable trend to use gold in the future."
The leader below had a sad face: "Now there are also in the south, there are also in the north, and there will definitely be in the west, so if we want to barter things, we can only go to the east?" ”
"Then don't change it! Let's keep it for ourselves! ”
"So much, how do we use it?"
Lu Ying wanted to change a lot after experiencing the trip to the north: "Therefore, we will exchange gold, and we will sell our things on a large scale, use our goods to open up the mainland, and we will tell the people of the whole continent about the peaceful concept of our collection of tribes!" Let the whole continent be dominated by the core of the tribe! ”
The other tribes all looked at Lu Ying in surprise: Is this person brainbroken?
The leader of the glass nodded in agreement, Shi Li and the others were only faintly surprised, sure enough, after following the sacrifice for a long time, their thoughts will change the same.
This idea was a joke in the minds of other leaders who had survived, but it was an opportunity in front of ambitious leaders.
The stout leader from before: "Yes! I support the idea of the Green Leader! I hope I'm a part of it too! ”
Only the unification of the continent can realize this idea, and it is impossible to achieve it without a skill, so ah, Lu Ying is not a real peaceful person, and the priest is also an ambitious person!
