Chapter 53: Intrigues

Surprisingly, the rebels did not launch an attack on the city-state of Shenyue.

They were just holding longbows and short knives in their hands, and they were noisily circling around outside the wall, demonstrating this way with provocative eyes.

After half an hour of ritual-like activity, the two sides fired two arrows at each other out of reach, and the rebels returned home.

Later, Chen Feng listened to Mochizuki's analysis that during this time, there were many such actions of traitors.

The reason for this is not difficult to guess: recently, the hunting area on Shenyue's side has been expanding more and more, and there is an overlap with the hunting area of the rebels.

The purpose of the traitor's actions is to tell the Shenyue City-State not to invade our hunting area, otherwise, you will pay the price.

For their actions, the reaction of the Shenyue City-State was, of course, to ignore him.

Where there is good prey, you have to go.

As for the encroachment on the hunting areas of the rebels? Sorry, that thing doesn't exist.

Even the tribe of rebels should not exist.

If the traitors really have a species, they can come and rob them when hunting.

It's a big deal.

Although this is a civilization that has just stood up, they already have their own pride.

"The traitors seem arrogant, but in fact, they are already afraid." A deep voice sounded from behind Xuanyuan Wangyue.

Everyone turned around, but saw a man with a beard on his face, looking indifferently in the direction where the rebel had left.

Xuanyuan Wangyue asked with interest, "Uncle Zhan, why are they afraid?" ”

This person known as "Uncle Zhan" thought that he was the most courageous person in the clan, so the surname he asked for himself was "Zhan", and his name was Zhan Lie.

"Recently we have found a good hunting ground in a place with herds of wild deer and cunning foxes, and if we can take possession of it, we can provide a whole tribe with a year's worth of meat, and we can also provide furs for 500 people."

Hearing his words, the clansmen exclaimed.

Xuanyuan Wangyue said: "The traitors also want that hunting ground? ”

"Yes," said Zhan Lie, "but they are not as many as us, and they can't rob us." With this hunting ground, our newborn children can live, and in the future, they will only get stronger and stronger than them, unless there is a third party who wants to profit from it. ”

Zhan Lie said as he secretly looked at the "Messenger of Natural Calamity" who was silent next to him.

The "third party" in his mouth obviously refers to the "superior civilization" of natural disasters.

Chen Feng and Xuanyuan Wangyue didn't notice the meaning of his words at all. Xuanyuan Wangyue smiled: "This whole land, we can sweep everything, the only enemy is ourselves, how can there be any third party?" ”

He knew that the civilization of the master was not at the same level as theirs, and in his heart, he did not count the master as a civilization equal to himself.

But his people didn't think so, and after Zhan Lie said that the hunting ground could produce countless meats and furs, their biggest concern became "will the superior civilization come to rob us".

Zhan Lie looked at Chen Feng with his eyes and said, "Isn't the one standing here a third party?" ”

Xuanyuan Mochizuki's face changed immediately.

Zhan Lie seemed to be reckless, but in fact he was very proficient, he saw the opportunity of the "Catastrophe Messenger" to visit the tribe, and mentioned this in front of the "Catastrophe Messenger" at the right time, what he wanted was a "non-interference" commitment from the Catastrophe Civilization.

The people around him will soon be satisfied: yes, as long as the natural disaster civilization does not interfere, they will take this hunting ground, I am afraid that they will fight with the traitors, and the natural disaster civilization will go down the mountain to pick peaches.

Everyone focused their eyes on Chen Feng's face, expecting him to make a statement.

And Chen Feng's face was expressionless.

He didn't know at all, the topic was directed at himself.

In his opinion, the topic of this hunting ground is quite microscopic, and it has nothing to do with him in any way, so at the moment he is in a fugue, thinking about how he will lay the city next.

Everyone saw that he didn't say a word, and their thoughts gradually became confused.

Xuanyuan Wangyue said with a blank look: "How can we Shenyue City-State not handle such a trivial matter?" Don't bother with natural disasters and civilizations. ”

The people below were speechless, Lord Lord, why do you think differently than everyone else?

When it comes to this, there is not much more to say. Chen Feng didn't stay long, he went home, and the citizens of Shenyue City-State discussed it in private, and they also dispersed.

Xuanyuan Mochizuki went to select people and began to prepare for several things that the master handed over to him, while Zhan Lie and the others gathered together and began to discuss some things that could not be said loudly at the night bonfire.

"I think the lord is a little cowardly, and he has lifted all the messengers of the natural disaster to the sky."

"yes, I really don't understand, our own tribe...... No, the city-state, our city-state can also support itself, why do we have to be subordinate to other civilizations? ”

"You know what? Today I see that our lord is kneeling to the messenger of the Scourge! ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Not really! I was also shocked to see it suddenly, the messenger of the calamity was sitting in his seat with a big grin, but the lord was kneeling down for him! ”

"The lord is still too cowardly."

After denouncing a large number of "lord cowardice" and "natural disaster domineering" behind his back, someone asked Zhan Lie what to do.

"The next time we go hunting, we'd better be careful not to let the forces of the natural disaster take away our gains." Zhan Lie said, "That's so much food and furs, it's impossible for a force not to be moved." ”

Everyone nodded at his judgment.

"We pay them a lot of tribute every year."

In the corner, someone suddenly spoke up.

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, I don't know who said out loud: "I have to find a way to cut off relations with this high-level civilization." ”

In the firelight, a piece of scrap wood was broken and thrown into the fire.

At the same time, in another place, another tribe, in front of another campfire, a secret conversation came to an end.

Judging by the expressions of both sides of the conversation, they hit it in unison.

Sitting in the bright place was a woman, who looked nine points similar to the crescent moon, but was much older, and her face was already wrinkled.

"I've often wondered how things would have turned out if Crescent had chosen to come back to you at that time." The woman said, "I guess I won't be able to go this far." ”

The man in the shadows let out a deep voice as the beast licked its wounds: "I want to thank her for that choice, if she chooses me, how can I be surnamed 'traitor'?" ”

The woman sighed: "Mochizuki has a cowardly personality, he forgot the hatred of being almost wiped out, and the new moon also forgot, I haven't forgotten." ”

"She can forget the revenge of killing her father, but I will not forget the pain of losing my husband." The woman said slowly.

The man in the shadows said, "So, you must tell me about the next movement of the natural disaster. ”

The woman said, "No problem. ”

"Not only the movements of the natural disaster, but also the movements of the Shenyue tribe, I can also tell you."

The woman said, "The patriarch of Shenyue should be replaced." ”

The woman said, "After all, you are the real son-in-law appointed by the previous chief. ”
