Chapter 298: North Over the Mountain

On a mountain road not far from the north of the mountain, an ox cart walks slowly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Colorful furs piled up on top of the ox cart, and Kill Shengren sat beside it, his body undulating with the rough road.

The scorching and scorching midday sun, coupled with the slightly hot climate of the south, these tribal warriors from the Jiang Land were all sweating.

However, by this time, everyone had already abandoned their previous outfits and replaced them with sleeveless shoulders sewn from fur.

The weapons and iron clothes had already been hidden in the mountains, and the things that might reveal their identities were also withdrawn one by one, and even in order to hide their traces, everyone deliberately spared hundreds of miles of mountain roads and purchased such a suit in a smaller tribe.

Seeing that every tribal warrior was dressed like this, Kill Shengren also asked Ah Shan: "Wouldn't there be any problems if you dressed up like this to "pass"?"

Before Ah Shan, who was driving the car, could respond, Ah Bi, who was following behind the ox cart, was the first to explain.

He didn't understand what he said, and Kill Shengren was a little confused when he heard it, but Na Ahsan participated in time and let Kill Shengren know some information about Jiang Yu and the two places.

According to the information they have, the development direction of the Yu tribe is relatively enlightened, perhaps because it is not strong, and its attitude towards the desolate people is not as strict as that of the Jiang tribe.

Therefore, most of the small tribes and barren people living in the Beiyu Mountains are willing to come into contact with the Chao people.

Frequent interactions between foreign populations and the Tu tribe naturally knew what the consequences would be, as most of the trade between civilizations began with frequent exchanges.

As long as the tribe forms a good reputation and an open tribal policy, it is very likely that the most primitive exchange place will be formed with the regional culture of the Yue people in the northern mountains.

And in fact, that's exactly what the Trans did.

Not only did they open up the primitive market for the exchange of goods, but they were even willing to exchange some things that were regarded as strategic materials by foreigners to those small tribes and wastelands with poor resources.

The strategic materials in this include some food, medicinal materials, and metal products such as weapons and armor.

In particular, metalwork, a forging technique that many of the middle tribes had not fully mastered, had always been strictly controlled by the major tribes.

Some people do not hesitate to take risks to kill people and goods for the sake of a metal weapon, and even some small tribes often fight over metal weapons.

In this context of the times, the Yue people are willing to relax the exchange of metal products, which undoubtedly gains great prestige for the entire Yue people, so in the thousands of miles of North Mountain, the reputation of the Yue people is incomparable, and its influence is not even limited to North Mountain.

As the exchange market of goods of the people of the people is getting bigger and bigger, when the market is opened, there is even a crowd of thousands of heads.

It is undoubtedly a great miracle that a medium-sized tribe with a population of only a few tens of thousands can attract tens of thousands of people to exchange goods, especially in this era.

Thanks to the development of trade, the growth of the Yue tribe is also becoming more and more rapid, in just a few years, the increase in the population of the land, even the "Jiang" such a large tribe can not be compared, because the natural growth of the population, its survival rate is comparative, but the absorption of the population is a profitable business, naturally than the natural growth of the tribe has enough development advantages, so from this point alone, the Yue clan is afraid that it will become the Jiang people's heart in the future.

And judging from a series of policies of the Chao people, the people of the Yue nationality have the ability and ambition to become this kind of trouble, not to mention, this idea is rapidly being transformed into reality.

From Ahsan and others, Kill Shengren learned about the Jiang people's worries about the development of the Yue tribe.

Because in addition to the possibility of posing challenges to the future of the Jiang people, at this stage, the Yu people have become a stumbling block to the development of the Jiang people.

There are also geographical reasons for this.

It is cut in half by a big river called Loujiang, which is the main traffic route of the north and south plains.

Of course, there is no traffic artery in this era, but it is true that the terrain of the northern mountain range is treacherous, and the "over" land occupies the main road that guards the southward direction of "Jiang", which naturally becomes a must for the Jiang people.

After all, after developing to the scale of Jiang Land, there are no nutrients in the surrounding area to continue to grow, except for relying on the passage of time to reproduce the population, the fastest way to grow is to continue to look for tribes in the unknown land, which can be used to annex and absorb its nutrients.

After destroying the tribe of "Guan", "Yu" was found to be the closest tribe to "Jiang", a tribe above average.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Lie Yuan encouraged Jiang Di to use force, because in the south of the North Yue Mountain Range, there are many tribes built along the river, and there are even several large tribes no less than Jiang Di.

Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of strengthening the clan or for future strategic needs, Jiang Di, who has always been somewhat conservative, has a great possibility of using force.

But the war between the tribes is obviously not child's play, and even if it really starts, who is the vanguard and who is the burden is a huge problem.

Being able to lead a large army to annex the land is obviously a great achievement, and the one who waving the flag and shouting behind it is a little insignificant.

Compared to the other elders of the entire Jiang clan, Lie Yuan, who found the "over" land, obviously had an advantage, because he had accurate information about the "over" land, and he knew the situation around the "over" land better than the others.

But relatively speaking, Lie Yuan's position within the Jiang clan is also a disadvantage, because he does not yet have the ability to influence a tribal war.

Therefore, the other mountains that know about this matter naturally have their own plans, and how to develop and expand their tribes in the war has become the most important thing in the several mountains of Jiangdi.

As for which mountain the Supreme Priest represents, this complex relationship is not something that Ah Shan and the others can guess, but judging from some news they have heard, the strange Supreme Priest is obviously not fighting alone.

And this time to send Ah Shan and the others out, it is obvious that the interests represented by the priest are trying to carry out a series of spies on the land, and Lie Yuan sent people to hunt them down, in addition to ensuring the superiority of his own information, there may be other important factors.

Of course, this kind of complicated battle, Ah Shan and the others obviously don't want to get involved, all they can do is to pretend to be a remote small tribe, and openly exchange animal fur for goods, so as to secretly achieve the purpose of spying on the intelligence of the tribe.

That's why Ahsan changed the ox cart and collected so many furs.

Hearing Ah Shan and Ah Pi say this, Kill Shengren was slightly amused, brought up the hat that was placed next to the ox cart, he leaned on the fur and said.."So...... That overmarket, will it be opened in the near future?"

"I know this......" Behind the ox cart, Ah Ren, who had never had a chance to interject, raised his hand, immediately trotted two steps, came to the side of the ox cart, and said proudly... ”

Since Kill Shengren saved the three Jiang Clan warriors, these guys who were sent over to listen to the information simply knew everything about him, and Kill Shengren was very suspicious, this kind of guy who was eloquent and not vigilant could really listen to some important information, and then leave the land unscathed?

Thinking like this, Kill Shengren smiled, and gradually focused on a silk thread wrapped around his fingers.

This silk thread is similar to a string, and the whole body is pale silver, and even if you tear it hard, you can't completely tear this silk thread.

In the eyes of others, this thing was nothing more than a string that Mr. Nine kept in his hand, but Kill Shengren knew that this thing was not a string at all, but a hair, a woman's hair that had survived countless years.

This is something found inside the jade statue, and it still retains a trace of divinity, if it is instilled with Dao power, this residual divinity is enough to destroy the entire Beiyue Mountain, and even within a radius of thousands of miles, it will not grow a single inch of grass to form a vast ocean.

Just a single hair has such terrifying power, so how terrible should its owner be?

Killing Shengren believed that this unknown creature should be the most powerful creature he had ever seen.

Thinking about something in such a mess, the originally active team became slightly silent.

Ah Ren Ah Biscuit looked at each other, but it didn't disturb him to think about things, but Ah Shan on the side seemed to think of something, and glanced at the strings with some hesitation.......

"Huh?" Kill Shengren began to talk, glancing at Ahsan slightly, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Nine......" Ahsan gritted his teeth, "Do you know the murals in the passage of the underground palace?"

"Mural?" Blinking a little suspiciously, Kill Shengren smiled and asked, "What mural?"

"Uh......" Hearing him say this, Ah Shan was slightly stunned and subconsciously licked his lips.

After all, it has something to do with the events of ten years ago, if this Mr. Nine really gets involved with this kind of thing, sooner or later there will be trouble, even if his Taoism is superb, and the gods must be able to protect himself.

However, now that Mr. Nine didn't pay attention to the mural, it wasn't a cause for trouble, and he destroyed the underground palace to save people, and I believe that the gods knew about it in the sky, and they wouldn't blame him.

Thinking like this, Ahsan breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel a large stone move from his chest, and became slightly relieved.

He raised the willow branches slightly, and under the scorching sun, he drove the ox cart towards the north over the mountain.

Perhaps because the broken mountain road gradually improved, before the sun set, everyone had already come to the north of the mountain pass.

At this time, there are occasional encounters of some human tribes on the road, including tribal people and horses who look like Ah Shan and others, and lone travelers with bags on their backs, walking alone on the winding ancient road.

However, there is a slight difference that although these human races are vigilant among themselves, they are not as tense as they are outside Jiang Di, and even if they don't like it, they have never drawn their swords against each other.

Perhaps the reputation of the Yue clan is really good, such a long distance, but has not encountered any murder in the wild, and later in the conversation of a group of passers-by, in order to ensure the safety of the land, the Yue clan often sends people to wander within a radius of 100 miles, if you find that someone in this range of broken rules, even if you run out of the land, the Yue clan will also use thunder means to send people to chase and kill those who violate the rules, over time, the environment around the Yue clan, has gradually become peaceful.

When passing through the mountain pass, Kill Shengren saw the people and horses stationed in the Yu clan, from the point of view of its Taoist cultivation, it is no better than the elite of the Jiang clan, if the Yu clan is really given time to develop, I am afraid that it will not take a few decades, this medium-sized tribe that lives in a single place will develop into an existence that no one dares to despise, in fact, even if it is on this scale now, it is no longer possible for the Jiang clan to despise it.

After a simple inspection, Kill Shengren and the others successfully entered the Bei Yue Mountain Pass, and these people who stopped did not interrogate in detail, but only urged some prohibitions beyond the ground to be known to pedestrians, such as not being able to carry weapons and other things, and entering the range of the land.

Ah Shan and the others' weapons had naturally been hidden long ago, and they did not show any traces, so they were naturally safe along the way.

After entering the mountain pass, the road not only became wider, but even in the distance, a glittering river could already be seen.

That river is the Loujiang River, in the lower reaches of the Loujiang River, the tribes built with this river water do not know how many, therefore, it makes sense to say that the land is guarding the traffic arteries.

Thinking in such a mess, the group had arrived in the city, and was greeted by a large open space, where countless tents were set up, and all kinds of strange creatures.

Judging from the results of the surrounding inquiry, this is the place where the land opens the city, most of the foreigners who come to exchange have to find their own way to solve the problem of food and camping, and this vacant land is a place for them to stay, of course, if you want some places with a good environment, there are a large number of wooden houses in the distance, but if you want to live in these wooden houses, you have to pay some materials to the land as accommodation fees, this kind of business methods far beyond other tribes, to the more than the benefits that are difficult to achieve.

Moreover, according to Ah Ren, who heard the news, the real gathering place of the Yu tribe is not in this place, but within ten miles of the mountains, and if there is no special reason, the gathering place of the Yue tribe is not allowed to enter by outsiders.
