Frankly speaking, all the way to the present, this team has been a little scared.

They are afraid, not that they are afraid of anyone. When the enemy comes in front of them, they will also summon up the courage to fight for the team.

They are just afraid of the process of fighting. Because every time there is a dozen, their trip will be delayed. Fighting is a burden for them to return to their ancestral realms, although after each battle, all people, combatants and protected persons, progress.

Including Ding Qin, they all have this kind of war-weariness.

Therefore, when he heard Cheng Ying and Mo Yin's reports, he also trembled slightly in his heart. Looking at Mo Hafei, he sighed lightly, "I won't encounter any arrogant and unreasonable tribes again." ”

Mo Hafei also looked solemn, "It's hard to say. Ancient books record that in the area of the North Ice Lake, there have always been bandits. After such a long time, we can't say what has become of this place. ”

Song Renqing sent a team to meet him and take a look. Ding Qin looked to the northeast, "Be careful not to clash directly." If we can communicate peacefully when we get closer, we will inform them that we are just passing through. If it is difficult to negotiate peacefully, try not to act first, and it is better to withdraw in order to protect yourself. ”

Song Renqing hugged Ding Qin with his fist, "Don't worry, captain, I will take people personally." ”

Ding Qin nodded, "Okay." After that, he turned to Mo Hafei, "Maybe those people are still far away, let's organize people to rest here first." However, be careful not to untie your luggage, there is a possibility that we will have to leave soon. ”

Of course, Mo Hafei understood what Ding Qin meant. While organizing people to rest, he said, "The environment here, at least Mo Yin has read more from books than you, so it is better to let her go too." ”

Ding Qin didn't object, and turned to Mo Yin, "You should also be more careful." ”

Mo Yin raised his head with some pride, "A famous teacher is a high-level apprentice, and he will not be dishonored." ”

Ding Qin watched them leave, and he didn't know why, but he always felt a little apprehensive in his heart. In general, something always happens when this feeling occurs.

Near noon, Song Renqing returned.

However, it was he who came back on his own. The four-person group he had brought with him, as well as Mo Yin, did not return.

Ding Qin felt that something was wrong, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Mo Hafei looked even more worried, "Who are those people, what did they do?"

Song Renqing's face was not good-looking, and he said breathlessly, "Yes, I was detained." ”

"Who detained it?" Ding Qin knew that Song Renqing himself was also a calm person, and if he could force him to rush back in such a hurry, it was naturally an urgent situation.

"Those guys. Let me calm down and drink my saliva and speak slowly. But rest assured, they won't kill. Song Renqing said as he sat directly on the ground, reached out and took the kettle handed over by others, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, he poured a breath and gasped a few times before he barely calmed down, "Our people were temporarily detained and used as hostages. They asked us to exchange it for the Nine Star Pot. ”

"What is that Nine-Star Pot?" Ding Qin naturally turned to Mo Hafei, "It's your tribe's thing?"

Mo Hafei also looked puzzled, "I haven't heard of it." When we came, we didn't bring anything like that. ”

Ding Qin looked at Song Renqing, "Tell me the ins and outs in detail." ”

Song Renqing said, "At that time, because we wanted to go directly to the docking, we didn't carry out any concealment and camouflage, and went straight forward. About thirty miles out, we met them. ”

"Those men, thirty-two in all, were led by an elder about the same age as the Moha chief. They are dressed in a more uniform manner, with obvious signs of rank, and it is clear at a glance that they belong to a group. Moreover, they also have a strict team, whether they are marching or stopping, they have a regular formation. ”

"As the captain and the patriarch commanded, we greeted each other with courtesy. Originally, I wanted to go up and ask about the terrain here, but before I could speak, the leader asked me first, if I had seen someone from the Ailan tribe. ”

Ding Qin and Mo Hafei were stunned. "The people of the Iran tribe, mean us?"

Song Renqing didn't answer directly, but said, "That's right, that's what he asked." I thought the same thing as the two of you. For a moment, I thought, is it some tribe here who has heard the news of your return and came to greet you? So I told you the truth, I said, we are the people who accompanied the Iran tribe. ”

"Unexpectedly, the person who led the team immediately turned his face, put their people in battle formation, surrounded us, and said, what dare you send to the door. ”

"I saw that they were in a tight formation, and that they were outnumbered, and I knew that I could not match them with the strength of a few of us, so I did not force my way through, but refused to tell the truth, saying that we had walked thousands of miles away, and had just arrived here, and I just wanted to return to the Ailan tribe. ”

Unexpectedly, the leader said that no matter what, as long as it is a person from the Ailan tribe, it is everyone's public enemy. I also wanted to explain, but Mo Yin felt that he had insulted the Ailan tribe because of this sentence, so he directly contradicted it, and then even made the first move. ”

"What surprised me even more was that person had an extremely high level of cultivation, and in just two rounds, he captured Mo Yin. Mo Yin was not convinced, and the man ignored him, but said to me, saying that they are not rude, as long as the Ailan tribe hands over the Nine Star Pot and the Moha clan, Mo Yin will be safe. ”

As soon as he heard about the Moha clan, Mo Yin wanted to know what was going on, and on the other hand, he was also angry in his heart, and he collided several times in words. The leader was visibly annoyed, but he did not punish him excessively. He saw that I was the leader and spoke to me directly. ”

"He said that with our people, no matter how well trained, we are no match for them. We are limited to seven days to Tongyun Island to exchange pots. After that, he also detained the other four people I had brought with him, saying that this would be how we could pay more attention. ”

"At the beginning of the conflict, I was not sure that I would lead the four to break out and rescue Moyin. For the sake of the overall situation, I did not command the battle and came back alone to report. But in doing so, I am also equivalent to leaving Mo Yin and my brother behind, so if it is inappropriate, I hope that the captain will punish him. ”

Speaking of which, Song Renqing actually knelt down to Ding Qin. Ding Qin hurriedly helped him up, "You did the right thing." You now have a correct judgment on the team's group combat effectiveness. If there is a direct conflict, in the event of casualties, it may be more difficult for things to end. ”

Mo Hafei also said, "I can think of Moyin's language practices at that time. Things have nothing to do with you, and you don't have to blame yourself. However, it seems that the matter has something to do with our Ailan tribe, and it seems that it must be investigated. ”

Ding Qin nodded, "Have you heard of this so-called Tongyun Island?"

Mo Hafei took out the map and pointed to two of them, "Our current location should be here." And Tongyun Island is here. Further on this side is the former site of the Ailan tribe. This is a triangular position. They were looking for the Iran tribe, and they shouldn't have gone in this direction. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "This Tongyun Island, our ancient books, there are some records. They are described as a small tribe of fishing and hunting, and also have some specialties of their own, similar to the Iran tribe at that time. I just don't know what they've become after so long. At least, it can be known that they still exist. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ding Qin, "What are your plans?"

Ding Qin gritted his teeth, "So far, there is no plan. We have to save people, and we don't have the Nine Star Pot. The only thing I can do is to go to Tongyun Island and ask them what is going on. If there is a misunderstanding, it may be solved. ”

"That's exactly what I wanted. And, at stake in the reputation of our Iran tribe and the Moha clan, I must come forward myself. ”

"Could it be that your tribal name and Moha's surname have been fraudulently used?" Cheng Ying was silent before speaking.

Mo Hafei was noncommittal, "Whether it's fraudulent use, or whether it's really the Ailan tribe here, or the surname Moha, such things are not allowed." As long as I'm alive, I'm going to find out. Ding Qin, this matter is considered a matter within my clan, so I will go alone. You stay here and take care of other people. If things don't feel good, help me evacuate them immediately. ”

Ding Qin smiled lightly, "No." I'm going to do the same. Because there are still a few of my brothers there. Besides, along the way, I and your Ailan tribe have always been a collective. Now that we have come here, we have to face it no matter what situation arises, and there is no reason to retreat. ”

Mo Hafei's eyes were full of gratitude. He knew that when Ding Qin said this, on the one hand, he valued brotherhood, and on the other hand, he was also willing to help the Ailan tribe from the bottom of his heart. He patted Ding Qin on the shoulder, "Okay." Then we'll go now. As for the matter here, I will leave it to you. ”

The you he said were Song Renqing, Cheng Ying and Ji Yu. The three of them didn't speak, watching Ding Qin and Mo Hafei turn around and leave.

According to the mark on the map, I walked for about 100 miles, and I saw a forest in the distance.

The trees are of great height and edges, and they are clearly planted by hand. And here, there should be twenty or thirty miles away from the Tongyun Island mark on the map.

Ding Qin and Mo Hafei checked the map and continued to move forward. Before marching into the forest, four people rushed out from four points at the same time, each holding a weapon, and stopped Ding Qin and Mo Hafei, "What kind of person? ”

Mo Hafei frowned. Ding Qin knew what was going on in his heart. Because he just said that in the records, Tongyun Island is just a fishing and hunting tribe. And now this set is obviously not in line with the characteristics of fishing and hunting tribes, but more like the regular towns they experienced before.

Of course, what Ding Qin saw was different from Mo Hafei. The positions of the four people who came out just now echoed each other, obviously pre-arranged, not random. In addition, if on this basis, more manpower is deployed in the forest, and a battle formation that can be attacked and defended can be formed.

With this thought, Ding Qin looked at the possible manpower arrangement points, and didn't find anything, so he listened to one of them, "You, what are you looking at? Don't look at it if it's okay, it's troublesome to see too much." ”

This question, not to be self-explanatory, there must be someone in the direction of Ding Qin's view. In this way, this Tongyun Island is no longer the original Tongyun Island.
