Chapter 670: Hitting the master also depends on the dog
After Caesar's condition stabilized, Shao Xuan would go to the Yanhe trading area every day to see if there was any new news, and since the last Yanhe feast, there would be information exchange and sharing between the major tribes.
After learning that there was movement in the desert and the sea, the patrol around Yanjiao was also strengthened during this time, and people came over every day in the Yanhe trading area, some of them were young people from the tribe who went out to experience and gain knowledge, and came to satisfy their curiosity after hearing the name of the Yanhe trading area, and some were for buying and selling, and they were very skilled in buying and selling, Shao Xuan heard that there was a long-distance team that bought animal skins here, and then took them to other trading areas in the central part to sell, and the price doubled.
The water moon stone of the Shui tribe has been producing very high during this period of bright moonlight, and the water moon stone needs moonlight, and the bigger the moon, the higher the efficiency, and the better the quality of the water moon stone produced, so from the time when the moon is not full, the Shui tribe began to work overtime, and it has not stopped until now, except for the people on duty, the others are almost day and night upside down.
Most of the water moon stones obtained were used to pay off debts and given to Yanjiao, so even if someone stole them, they wouldn't gain much.
After the debt is repaid, the people of the Yu tribe have rich experience in making water moon stones, and they have also tasted the benefits brought by the fusion of fire, at least they don't have to worry about someone coming to sneak attack on the full moon night every year, they harvest the water moon stone, no longer confined to the full moon night, and they don't have to guard the water moon stream, and they have fewer scruples, so they can naturally divide more effort to defend.
The life of the Rain tribe is now on the right track, and some of the Rain tribe people have entered the Yanhe trading area, rented a fixed house, guarded a fixed bunk, and put out the cloth and pottery made in the tribe. There is no need to worry about someone robbing it, and on the tribe's side, the cultivated land has been reclaimed, and it is not too far from the river, and they don't need to worry about the water problem, the Yan River is big enough. Even if all the rivers in the central part of the country dried up, the Yan River would not dry up here. Food and clothing are worry-free, and the quality of life is improving.
From the beginning of the wait-and-see, to now, more and more tribesmen have entered and exited the Yanhe trading area. They don't need to go to more tribes, the Yanhe Trading Area provides a centralized trading point for them to choose from, the Yanhe Trading Area, which is the largest trading area in the Yanhe area, and is also the trading area outside the central and grassland areas. The biggest one.
Of course, every team that travels far here, the most impressive thing is not the animal skins and meat here, but the architecture here.
Although there are more rules here in the Yanhe trading area than in other places, the long-distance team that has come once will always look forward to coming a second time after leaving.
Watching the Yanhe trading area become lively day by day, Zhengluo also has a sense of honor and pride in his heart.
Once, Zhengluo wanted to call this place Yanhe City. Because, on the other side of the sea. That's how the slave owners' cities were named, XX cities or something, but he didn't want to copy everything from the slave owners, which was very tangled. It's okay to call him hypocritical, he just doesn't want everything to follow the slave owners, even if it's the same thing. He also wanted to choose another name, which was the awkward feeling of the tribesmen towards the slave owners.
"It's called 'City'. Shao Xuan said, "It can be called 'Yanhe City', and the 'city' is a place where business is concentrated, and it will definitely be expanded in the future." It doesn't stop there. ”
"Okay! After that, another name for this place will be 'Yanhe City'! Well, I'll have a meeting to tell you about it when the time comes. "Sei Lo was very happy with the name.
As a result, with the name of Yanhe Trading Zone, "Yanhe City", as the abbreviation of Yanhe Trading Zone, gradually spread with the long-distance travel teams.
Shao Xuan stood on the highest building in Yanhe Fort, and from here he could see the entire Yanhe Trading Area, "It's still small now, but in the future, it will definitely become big." ”
......
A long-distance team walked on a small road, which was still a forest last year, but later, after the establishment of the Yanhe Trading Area, it was cut out of a road by several large tribes in the middle of the country who went to the banquet, because they had animal carts to accompany them, and the pomp and circumstance were large.
Later, more and more people went on long journeys, and the trees and grass did not grow, and some of the larger tribes would use domesticated beasts to pull carts, and for the convenience of walking, there was not even a large stone on the road, which was much flatter than the rest of the woods.
The more people walked, the more famous the road became, and although it would be easier to get there, it was also more risky because there would be people who would ambush and rob here.
People who don't have the strength and courage rarely go here, and the larger tribes who think they are good will go this way without fear of robbery.
At this time, the team walking here is a medium-sized tribe in the central region, not as strong as those famous big tribes, but compared to the larger tribes, it is still much stronger.
The men in this team were tall and strong, with strong muscles exposed in their open chests, tanned skin from years of travel, and taut muscles on their arms carrying large stone clubs.
The temperature at this time is still high, it is noon, the sun is in the sky, the simple linen clothes on the people who are in a hurry are soaked with sweat, many people directly take off their shirts to wipe the sweat, and throw them on their shoulders directly after wiping. The people in the team discussed what they had seen in the Yanhe Trading Area in their rough voices.
They had come out of the Yanhe trading area not long ago, bought a lot of animal skins, and were heading back in the direction of their tribe.
"Not to mention, the animal skins in the Yanhe trading area are really good!"
"Of course, beast skin, can it be bad?"
"I heard that this kind of leather can be worn at this time, and it's cool to wear?"
"So it's expensive, it's better to go to the Yanhe trading area to change animal skins at this time, it's really a wise decision, haha, the dolls don't have to be frozen this winter!"
The sound of hearty and heroic laughter sounded in the woods, as if they were not worried about being heard at all, seemingly casual, but from time to time they used their afterglow to be vigilant around, even if there were people on the periphery of the team who were on guard, and there were people in front of them who went to probe the way, and did not find anything abnormal, they would still be cautious.
Experienced travelers, who have long been accustomed to robbery, came out of the Yanhe trading area. And they cut down three waves of men who had struck them with the idea of goods.
There are a total of about 300 people in the team, and on the wooden cart pulled in the middle, there are large wooden boxes tied, which are the goods they exchanged from the Yanhe trading area, including fierce beast skins, fierce beast jerky, fierce beast horns and bones, etc. These are the reasons why they are willing to go all the way to the Yanhe trading area.
Where their tribe is located, the winter is relatively cold, and the skins of the general beasts play a limited role in keeping warm, and they are good totem warriors, and they can carry them in a thin skin, but the little cubs of the tribe can't resist, and they are particularly prone to illness when they are frozen, don't look at the adults of their tribe, both men and women, are very strong, but in their early years. The physique is very weak, and every winter there are children who fall ill and die due to the cold, and Wu is helpless, only to say that it is a test for those little cubs.
Later, they discovered that the hides of the beasts were more protective, and they began to collect them. It's just that on the mainland, in the past, there were only fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, not counting the grasslands, and there were few fierce beasts in other places. Unless it is raised by the tribe itself.
What kind of place is that in the Beast Mountain and Forest? Not to mention that it is far away from their tribe, even if they go, the danger will be even greater. The losses could be even greater, and the leader of the tribe would not agree.
When the Yanjiao tribe was in the fierce beast mountain forest, they didn't take out a lot of animal skins to trade, and their tribe was far away, and they didn't get much news until the Yanhe trading area was established. More and more ferocious animal skins flowed into the central part of the country, and the reputation of the trading area became more and more famous, but the price of the trade was very expensive, and they heard that in the hot season, the hides of the Yanhe trading area would be cheaper. So I organized this expedition.
They were very satisfied with the goods, and discussed going over again at this time next year, although they also wanted to go to the Yanhe trading area more frequently to exchange animal meat and the like, but one was too far away, and it took a long time to come and go, and the other was that there were many troubles, and there were more and more people taking shortcuts to rob, and there would be certain casualties.
While the team was talking, the people in front of them suddenly stopped, and the people behind the team also stopped talking and became vigilant.
For a moment, the forest was so quiet that only the sound of birds could be heard.
The wind in front brought a hint of blood, and the people at the back of the team looked forward and saw that on this road, a hundred meters away from them, there was a person sitting on a big rock next to the road.
There is only one person on the other side, but it feels quite dangerous to them, it looks bigger than the two of them, and if they stand up, it will give people great pressure.
Not only that, but on the other party's blue-gray skin, the totem patterns they had never seen before were all over their bodies, and the clenched fists were bigger than their faces, and there were blood stains on them. At the man's feet, there were a dozen or so people lying on the horizon, all of them were dead, none of them were injured by sharp weapons, and those who killed these people were probably just big fists.
Before they could get closer, they could feel the rich evil aura released from each other's body, and the man looked up, and his sunken eyes showed a fierce look like a heavy axe, as if he was about to cut the person in the next moment, which made many people in the team tense their muscles.
Even the scavenging birds that rushed over, because of that person, only rested on the trees next to them, and did not dare to go down to peck at them.
The team didn't stop or change course because of the person in front of them, they sent some people over to test it first, but the other party was silent, and didn't even bother to give them a superfluous look.
This attitude did not make them dissatisfied, but made them feel relieved, they have traveled for so many years, and they have met a lot of people, those who talk a lot and seem to be friendly to talk, it is likely to be a disguised snake, but this kind of silent people with a "Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to you" momentum of the people, let them rest assured. Because, as long as such a person does not take the initiative to provoke, the other party will not do it.
There are quite a few people in their team, and they are confident that they can win against such a person, but if they really fight, there will definitely be unnecessary casualties. If you can avoid it, you can avoid it.
And those who died on the earth, in their experience, looked more like ambushes and robbers.
Sneer, bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the criterion of survival, I don't know who can move and who can't, and I still learn to come out to rob? It's just death, and it deserves to be destroyed.
The leader of the team retracted his gaze and motioned for everyone to continue on their way, they were still on guard against the man, but until their own team had completely walked over and walked away, the other party did not have a superfluous look, but when the person at the back of the group turned to look, the man kicked the head of the corpse lying at his feet.
The team left faster.
When the team completely disappeared from sight, and could not even hear a sound, the original murderous eyes and fierce eyes looked like people who were about to start a massacre in the next moment, and their momentum changed, like a heavy sharp axe, and suddenly there was only one handle left, which was still cork.
The man scrambled to his feet from the stone, hunched over his back and looked at the bushes not far away, his eyes respectful and flattering, "Master, all gone!"
With the sound of a sigh, a person came out from behind the bushes, the other party was dressed in gray cloth, he didn't look strong, he was about the same as an ordinary person, and there was a sense of elegance between the actions of slapping grass clippings. Compared to the big guy next to him, he was like a child standing next to an adult.
After coming out of the woods, the man in the gray cloth had four fingers bent slightly, and the tips of his thumb clicked back and forth on the inside of the knuckles of the other four fingers, and then said, "You will be there in five days." ”
When he walked out, he glanced at the people on the ground and stopped looking, if he was the only one who came this time, he would have been hacked to death, but who let him take the slaves with him?
There is an old saying among the nobles that if you beat the master, you must first look at the dog!
I can't even beat the "dog", but I still want to beat the owner? )
