191 Return to the border city
The group walked for seven days and reached the Rock Tribe.
The people of the Rock Tribe were hospitable.
Hearing that Yuan Yuan would set up a trading house and then sell goods to the barbarians, and that the Rock Tribe was used as a place for trading, the people of the Rock Tribe were very happy.
Especially the leader of the Rock Tribe.
Others didn't know how profitable it would be to trade, and how much it would benefit the Rock Tribe to be a place to trade, but he knew.
After all, when he was young, he also went to the territory of the Terrans, and lived there for a few years.
The prosperity of the human race is not at all comparable to the current barbarians.
If those goods are sold to the barbarians, and the barbarians' specialties can also be sold to the human race, then the barbarians' lives will be greatly improved.
And the Rock Tribe, which is used as a trading location, will also reap great benefits.
The barbarians are still very sincere. Although they are not rich, they still bring out the best things to entertain guests.
Especially Yuan Yuan, who succeeded in enlightening the Rock Tribe, won the favor of everyone in the Rock Tribe.
And Zhu'er, Hui'er, also had a brief reunion with their family.
In the future, they will follow Yuan Yuan to the territory of the human race, and it will be difficult to meet their families.
Yuan Yuan also raised the topic of letting them stay in the Rock Tribe.
However, as soon as Yuan Yuan brought up this topic, Zhu'er and Hui'er cried.
Hui'er whimpered and said, "Childe, where is Hui'er not serving well, Childe doesn't want Hui'er anymore." ”
Although Zhu'er didn't speak, this was what she meant in her eyes.
Even, their families are full of fear. Uneasy, he looked at Yuan Yuan with wide eyes.
Yuan Yuan suddenly understood, and waved his hand, "You serve very well and are very careful. But I can't bear to let you be separated from your family, and I want you to stay in the Rock Tribe. After all, if you follow me. In the future, there will be fewer opportunities to see your family, and you may not even have the opportunity to see your family again. Of course, if you are willing to follow me, I will not refuse. ”
After listening to Yuan Yuan's words, Zhu'er and Hui'er put away their tears. And their families also seemed relieved.
Zhu'er stepped forward and said, "It's our blessing to be able to follow Childe. We are willing to serve Childe for the rest of our lives. And what is the difference with the family. Please don't say it in the future. If you want us to leave. ”
Yuan Yuan smiled, "Then you can follow me." ”
"Yes, Childe. "Zhu'er, Hui'er stepped forward and saluted.
Their families are smiling again.
At this time, three bonfires burned in the central square of the Rock Tribe.
The young people of the tribe sang and danced and seemed to be very happy.
The fire in the pit was still burning quietly. It doesn't seem to be at all moved by the excitement.
However, everyone knows that. The fire in the fire pit carries the will of the ancestors and the will of the witch god. They guard the tribe so that it can survive for a long time.
Yuan Yuan looked at the fire pond. He is also full of curiosity about the fire in the fire pond and the fire in the fire pit.
After the teachings of the Great Elder and others, he also knew. The fire in these firepits is not an ordinary fire.
These fires exist, and the tribe is the real existence.
If the fire in the fire pit is extinguished, even if the tribe still has people, then the tribe is finished.
But. If the fire in the pit burns, the tribe can be built from the ruins, even if there is only one person left.
It is only with these fires that the tribe can perform initiation ceremonies, carry out effective sacrifices, perform divination, and obtain the will of the ancestors, the witch gods.
Therefore, this fire is something more precious than life for the barbarians.
The Rock Tribe is not a big tribe. There have been no earth-shattering figures either. But there are fire ponds, there are fires, and their tribe has existed for tens of thousands of years.
It's older than the oldest recorded family of the human race.
Yuan Yuan stopped thinking deeply and looked at the lively crowd.
At this time, some young women in the Rock Tribe began to invite Yuan Yuan and their guests to dance.
Even Zhang Xiangfeng was pulled up and danced.
Yuan Yuan's status is noble, and he is not something that ordinary people can invite. So, for the time being, no one has come to invite Yuan Yuan to dance.
In addition to dancing, the Rock Tribe also took out some of the tribe's treasured liquor.
In the human race, these wines are just ordinary liquor, and a few taels of silver can buy several jars, but in the barbarians, it is extremely precious.
Although the wine was not good, Yuan Yuan still drank a few glasses.
The food is roasted oily wild boar, pheasant, lamb.
Something was baked on each campfire, enough for the guests to eat.
The leader of the tribe, the witch will also accompany him to eat some. Ordinary barbarians are not qualified to eat these things.
The bonfire party ended very late.
At the end, everyone had a smile on their faces, and everyone's spirits seemed to relax.
The next day, Yuan Yuan and the others did not delay and continued on the road.
Walked to the Daqingshan Corridor, crossed the Daqingshan Corridor, and after a four-day journey, everyone finally arrived at the border city.
Seeing the border city, Yuan Yuan's heart beat uncontrollably.
Finally, finally, back.
And the soldiers of the barbarians in September of the Gongshang, and the entourage, including Zhu'er and Hui'er, were a little nervous.
Yuan Yuan said softly, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
Zhu'er, Hui'er calmed down.
When they arrived at the west gate of the border city, naturally this strange group of men and horses was blocked by the soldiers.
Yuan Yuan stepped forward and said, "I'm Yuan Yuan, I've come back from the barbarians, and I've come back to report to General Tang, and I have brought good news." ”
Many people saw that Yuan Yuan was abducted at that time, and later Yuan Yuan's name was also known by many people.
After all, having taken out such a valuable ransom, he didn't redeem Yuan Yuan, which made people even more curious about Yuan Yuan's experience of going to the barbarian territory.
Now that he saw that Yuan Yuan was back, the soldier immediately reported it.
Look at the soldiers of the barbarians in the convoy, the entourage. The soldiers guarding the gates had vigilance and vigilance in their eyes.
It didn't take long for Tang Xianming to come.
Seeing Yuan Yuan and Zhang Xiangfeng, he also showed a surprised expression.
Yuan Yuan, he naturally knew him. In this war with the barbarians, the youngest painter realm master who came to support.
and Zhang Xiangfeng. worked tirelessly, fearless of hardships and dangers, and entered and exited the army of barbarians twice, wanting to redeem Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan and Zhang Xiangfeng hadn't spoken yet, Tang Xianming spoke, "Are you back?"
Zhang Xiangfeng didn't speak, how to say. He looked at Yuan Yuan's and listened to Yuan Yuan's.
Yuan Yuan clasped his fists and saluted, "General Tang, we have brought great news back this time. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Yuan took out the thousand-year peace contract from his arms and handed it to Tang Xianming.
Tang Xianming began to see a piece of animal skin, but he didn't care.
Waiting for him to unfold it, he read the text on it. Suddenly, his eyes widened. There was a flash of brilliance.
The Millennium Peace Pact, that is, humanity can not worry about barbarians for a thousand years.
Although he did not personally sign such a peace contract, under his jurisdiction, he can also leave his name in history by signing such a peace contract.
Of course, Tang Xianming didn't care so much about leaving his name.
What he cared about was. If there is a thousand years of peace, then it will be difficult for wars to break out in the future, whether barbarians or terrans, are accustomed to peace.
But then. And he wondered. Didn't Yuan Yuan become a captive of the barbarians, and why would the barbarians sign a peace pact with a captive?
He saw that the signatory of the human race below was Yuan Yuan.
Tang Xianming looked at Yuan Yuan with doubts.
Yuan Yuan naturally understood what he meant, and smiled, "I promised them to set up a caravan and sell the goods of the human race to the barbarians at a relatively low price." And they agreed. ”
Yuan Yuan naturally wouldn't say that he had barbarian blood and a five-clawed golden dragon totem, which was still a matter of the barbarians' 10,000-year opportunity.
Zhen Bao is naturally trusted by him, Zhang Xiangfeng, Zhang is lost, and he will not talk much. Wu Da Niu is simpler and never talks casually.
So, he wasn't worried that his identity would be leaked.
And the barbarian soldiers, retinues, and maids, they can't have anything in common with other people.
Moreover, when they were about to pass through the Daqingshan Corridor, Gong Shang had already instructed them not to reveal Yuan Yuan's identity.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It's not that Yuan Yuan wants to deny his barbarian bloodline, the main thing is that this matter will bring him some trouble.
He thought that more things were better than less things, so he kept it a secret.
And Tang Xianming looked at the barbarian soldiers behind Yuan Yuan, and his entourage, "What are these barbarians doing?"
Yuan Yuan hurriedly replied, "I will collect a batch of goods in Junyang and Lindu and set up a caravan." They were escorting the caravan back to the barbarians. ”
Tang Xianming nodded.
Then, Yuan Yuan pulled out the ninth month, "The barbarians attach great importance to this matter. This is the Great Wizard Gong on September. From the Ba Snake tribe, he is a deacon of the holy land of the barbarians. This time, he came, one to escort the caravan, and the other to escort the Millennium Peace Pact. ”
After listening to Yuan Yuan's words, Tang Xianming's expression became more solemn, "I've seen the Great Wizard." ”
The barbarians had sent a great sorcerer, and it was conceivable that they valued this peace pact very much.
Naturally, the barbarians have always been good at their word and will not break the contract. But with the great wizard of Gong Shangjiu, Yuan Yuan's words are more credible.
It's not that Tang Xianming doesn't trust Yuan Yuan, because the stakes are so high that he has to be careful to confirm it again and again.
Gong Shang was peaceful and generous to Yuan Yuan and the others, especially Yuan Yuan, but he was not so polite to Tang Xianming, a general who was stationed in the border city and had fought with their barbarians.
Gong Shangjiu nodded at Tang Xianming and didn't say a word, but his nod affirmed Yuan Yuan's words and affirmed the thousand-year peace contract of the barbarians.
Tang Xianming was overjoyed, "Open the gate, open the gate, and welcome the barbarian guests to enter." (To be continued.) )
