Chapter 289: Fighting
In a tribe that believes in gods, questioning the gods is undoubtedly a serious matter, at least on the surface, which even the clan leader does not dare to touch lightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing the somewhat wooden Abba say this, not only the faces of the two men changed, but even the little girl looked at him with a look of surprise.
"Abago......" the little girl murmured, reaching out and tugging at Aba's sleeveless shirt.
Abba pursed his lips and waved his hand slightly, staring at the two of them tightly, but the words were to the little girl: "Let's go, go to the altar and find the priest!"
After he finished speaking, the faces of the two suddenly became extremely ugly, the two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but grit their teeth slightly.."Aba......" A man took a deep breath and tried to show a dry smile..."We are Lord Lieyuan's guards, we came to your house today to accompany the adults to talk to Lao Ah Shui about some things, the adults are now inside, our brothers naturally don't want to let you in, as for the ...... just now" The corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and he said with a little smiling.." It's my brother who is outspoken and talks nonsense before he understands it, but it's a little embarrassing. ”
It's not that the two of them deliberately admit it, but that the priest is really a difficult person to get along with.
As the most important priest of the tribe, the Supreme Priest has an extremely strong reputation in the tribe, and can be regarded as the second person under the high priest in the priesthood system, and the most important thing is that the Supreme Priest has always had a grudge against Lie Yuan, thinking that Lie Yuan is so happy that he has caused a lot of trouble to the tribe, and even lost many tribal warriors, which has damaged the tribe's qi.
This was the attitude of the Supreme Priest towards the Burning Abyss.
In the tribe, most of the things that Lie Yuan wanted to do would be curbed by the Supreme Sacrifice.
Of course, in addition to some philosophical issues, it is said that there are some personal grudges between the two, because the nephew of the Supreme Priest's own family died in the wilderness during the extermination of a small tribe, and the initiator of that battle was the seventh Lieyuan.
What's more, the temper of that supreme sacrifice has always been a little strange, especially in this situation, the two of them dare not touch each other's moldy heads.
Just when a few people outside the door were talking slightly, the atmosphere in the old Ah Shui's room also became slightly more subtle.
He sat slightly, his back straight, looking at the figure who was looking around.
It was the appearance of a young man, dressed in a tunic made of cowhide and a sleeveless iron shirt, standing there quietly.
Although the young man hadn't said a word since he walked into the room, his not strong body brought strong pressure to Lao Ah Shui.
In fact, ever since Lord Lieyuan came to his house, Old Ah Shui has been thinking about things.
Since entering the hunting team, Lao Ah Shui has become a tribal warrior, and has been in the past forty years, although he is not big or small in the tribe, he is finally a small leader, but for a big man like Lie Yuan, he still hasn't had much contact with after all, after all, the other party is already the core figure of the tribe, and even more than some powerful elders, and his own small feet may not be looked at by the other party.
So why did this big man come to his home quietly today and not say a word?
Old Ah Shui blinked his eyes and thought, his brain was also spinning rapidly.
After all, he is an old fritter who has been in the tribe for decades, and he probably guessed two reasons for some of the news that came out of the tribe and some of the things that happened around him recently.
One is the matter of the desolate man, maybe this Lord Lieyuan didn't know where to get the news, knowing that the companion of the desolate man he killed of course was here, so he had to come over to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
However, it has always been carefully considered, this reason is unlikely, after all, even if the other party really knows about this matter, he will not run to his own place to waste time, and directly send someone to take down the desolate man, which is a more trouble-free way, then, the other party is likely to come for himself.
Since he came for himself, there was only the matter of his eldest son Ahsan going to the "passing" land this morning.
Judging from some news circulating in the tribe, Lie Yuan has always been determined to win the "exceeding" land, but there is the suppression of the sixth rank above, and there is a supreme sacrifice below to make a stumbling block, so the treatment of the "exceeding" land, the tribe has not been clear whether to fight or not, after all, in the face of a tribe that occupies the right time and place and has a population of tens of thousands, rashly stretching the battle line and attacking the "exceeding" land, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses, especially the environment of the "exceeding" land, "Jiang" does not understand.
Without enough interests to drive, "Jiang" did not have the upper hand in attacking "over" strategy, but not long ago, Lord Lieyuan, who had never said a word, finally revealed an extremely important bargaining chip, so that the originally unequal balance was moved back some.
This important bargaining chip, in Middle-earth, and even the Nine Shades Yellow Spring, is nothing more than the size of a sesame seed, but in this bubble world, it is an extremely significant discovery.
Mainly he discovered veins in the "over" land, a precious metal that can be mined in the open pit and can be forged into sharp weapons.
According to the news from Lie Yuan, this vein is under the control of the "over" land, but the forging methods of the "over" land are very rough, and the weapon forging has not been carried out on a large scale among the tribes, so the current "over" land has not caused too much trouble to the "ginger".
However, as time goes by, this kind of trouble will gradually become bigger, and the "over" land will gradually improve the forging method, and even develop rapidly in the case of the gradual growth of the army, and at that time, this powerful medium-sized tribe may become the enemy of "Jiang".
Therefore, after knowing this news, the emotions in "Jiang" are very complicated, if you send troops to attack the "over" land, it is really a bit far away to cross the distance of hundreds of cows.
Danger means remoteness, and danger means that a large number of warriors are going to die, which is really a very tangled thing for a tribe.
However, it is not in the interests of "Jiang" to let "Yue" grow gradually, so the tribe has always been a little wavering in the treatment of this matter.
Since there are some things that cannot be decided, then gather the important people of the tribe and discuss a result together,
But several of the big people in the tribe are not in the tribe, so now the tribe is waiting, waiting for those people to get the news and rush back to the tribe to discuss this kind of thing.
However, according to the news spread by the upper echelons of the tribe, the probability of "Jiang" using force against "Yue" is very high, after all, as long as you win the "Yue", you can not only get a lot of population, but also obtain a strategic vein, which can greatly improve the strength of "Jiang", this kind of business may have been brewing in the hearts of the upper echelons of the tribe for a long time, the only scruple is just how to fight, or how to avoid some losses in the process of fighting.
In the tribe of "Jiang", it is naturally not a person's word, even the leader or high priest of the tribe does not have such great prestige, and as the seventh in line of "Jiang", Lie Yuan naturally does not have this ability.
So even if there is a real fight, whether the person in charge is this Lord Lieyuan or not, it is still between the two.
In this case, it seems a little different for the priest to send someone to deliver the news and ask Ahsan to take someone to the "over" place to explore the environment.
At first, Lao Ah Shui didn't have any doubts about this decision, after all, with his decades of experience, the possibility of the tribe "surpassing" the opponent is so great, and it is really a normal thing to take the lead in exploring the environment, even if this news is sent by the priest, Lao Ah Shui has not thought too much.
However, the eldest son left the tribe on the front foot to "pass" the land, and the Lord Lie Yuan on the back foot came to his house, this kind of thing should be something connected with it, so Lao Ah Shui's mood was a little worried.
He has lived for most of his life, whether it is the Dao Fa or his position, he has probably come to an end. After all, he is not a stunning character, when he was young, he relied on his enthusiasm to move forward, but now that he has no spirit, he has already begun to go downhill, especially now that he still has heirs and descendants, even if he doesn't think about himself, he should think about the two brothers Ahsan and Abba.
He is not afraid of provoking this Lord Lieyuan, after all, the tribe has tribal rules, he has been in the tribe for most of his life, and it is not something that this Lord Lieyuan can pinch if he wants to, the tribe is not the private land of a certain person, the larger the tribe, the more so, those big people often have many more scruples than small people like him.
Since it is some battles between the upper echelons, the ultimate thing is to save some face, not to mention that the situation in Lao Ashui's family has not reached the point of standing in line.
After all, in this era, justice is the occupation of righteousness, which is not only the foundation of the survival of any tribe, but even the oracle of the gods, but a red line that is observed by most people, at least on the surface, there will not be too many exceptions, because most of the exceptions have been ostracized by the tribe or burned alive.
Thinking about it like this, Lao Ah Shui's mood gradually calmed down, and he looked at the young man standing in front of the cabinet, who was reaching out to stroke a white tiger skin.
Perhaps thinking of something, he stood up slightly and walked behind the man.."If you like it, you will give this tiger skin to you." ”
After all, he didn't intend to completely offend him, in this kind of large tribe of hundreds of thousands of people, Lie Yuan was one of the top figures after all.
However, after he said this, the man glanced at him and showed a strange smile, which made Lao Ah Shui slightly stunned, and even produced a familiar emotion.
Immediately afterward, he heard the man laugh and say, "How can you come back what you sent." ”
"Hehe-" Old Ah Shui smiled, but then he reacted, his smile froze on his face, and his eyes widened.
"Yes......" Lie Yuan waved his hand and put down the tiger skin, looked at Lao Ah Shui and smiled.."This tiger skin, but I sent someone back then, is it too long, so you can't remember Ah Shui?"
"This ......" Lao Ah Shui swallowed and looked at Lie Yuan in disbelief..."You, you are the ......"
When Lie Yuan saw it, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Lao Ah Shui to sit down and speak slowly, he himself sat down slowly, picked up a bamboo tube from the table, put it in a clay pot and scooped a bamboo tube of water, and then drank it all, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the corner of his mouth, Lie Yuan sat there, and slowly said.."When I passed by" Jia "land, I encountered an ambush, although I was finally killed, but I was still seriously injured, and my consciousness began to dissipate"Land, I heard from Elder Baduo later, Ah Shui, you trekked through mountains and rivers and carried me back from the wilderness. ”
The words paused, and it also gave Old Ah Shui a certain amount of time to react.."At that time, after I understood, I told Elder Ba Duo that I wanted to place Ah Shui and you by my side, but later after being reminded by Elder Ba Duo, this idea was dispelled. Leaning back, he continued, "The main thing is that at that time I had already started to clear the "Ga" land, and the surrounding environment was full of dangers, and it was really not a good thing to rush you down this environment, especially since you were still an ordinary person at the time. ”
"Later, I instructed Elder Baduo to take care of you more, and I also asked someone to send a batch of things, and this tiger skin is the spoils of war when I cleared the "Jia" land. Speaking of this, Lie Yuan laughed.."I didn't expect that after so many years, of course Ah Shui has become the old Ah Shui, and even the heirs and descendants have come out a lot. ”
Listening to Lie Yuan's teasing words, Lao Ah Shui scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he didn't know what to say.
Na Lieyuan's temperament was silent, although he was in a high position, he did not have the edge he imagined, and between the words, he still said slightly gently: "For so many years, I haven't come to see you, Ah Shui, will you hate me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Lao Ah Shui smiled and waved his hand vigorously.
Although Na Lie Yuan looked like a young man, when he laughed, the corners of his eyes still showed some wrinkles.."Don't you dare, or don't you complain?" he asked with a slight smile, which made Lao Ah Shui a little restrained.
The two sat there chatting slightly, talking about things that had happened in recent years, as if they had been old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they almost talked about everything.
After all, after chatting for most of the hour, Na Lie Yuan took a sip of water, then put it in the bamboo tube, and asked in a casual tone.."By the way, I heard Elder Baduo say that Ah Shui's son seems to be also a warrior of the tribe......" The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the corners of his eyes also leaned down with a smile..."Why didn't you see them today?"
"Uh......" Lao Ah Shui listened, pursed his lips slightly, and said secretly......
