Chapter 89: Farewell
The sky was slightly bright, Chu Qili splashed his face with cold water, and then walked out of the house and rushed straight to the temporary residence of the tribes Qi and Zhao.
Most of the crowd had gathered, and it seemed that they were waiting for someone to arrive. As soon as Chu Qili walked near the crowd, Qi Linglin was slightly dissatisfied and said, "Yo, the busy man still knows how to send off guests." ”
Chu Heli bowed to everyone with a fist, slightly apologetic, "I'm a little late, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Sister Ling Lin was a little annoyed by his lukewarm attitude, and was about to open her mouth to embarrass two sentences, but was stopped by Qi Qi on the side. Qi Qi whispered in her ear: "Sister-in-law, there are people all around here, pay attention to the influence......"
Qi Qi comforted for a while, and finally calmed down his sister-in-law and didn't continue to speak embarrassed.
Chu Qili couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with the chief, and then greeted Chief Zhao Gao and a group of acquaintances.
Zhao Zhi stood aside, silent, indeed Zhao Rou sighed first, and complained helplessly, "This is too fast, my sister hasn't been able to contact Brother Chu again......"
Fortunately, there was not much complaining here, only a few people nearby heard it, and Zhao Zhi just pretended to be calm and ignored it. In order not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, Chu Qili opened his mouth and said softly: "This time the time is really urgent, I hope you will forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." After March, we will meet again when the Seven Clans are in a big competition. ”
Everyone nodded, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Chu Heli stepped back at the right time, gave up his position to the chief, and asked him to say some words of farewell.
After a period of greetings, the clansmen of the Zhao and Qi tribes were assembled. Chu Qili followed the chieftain, and the two accompanied them to embark on their return journey.
Chu Qili and a few old acquaintances hung at the back of the line. At the time of parting, even Qi Linglin, who was the most active on weekdays, became a little silent.
Sister Ling Lin stretched out her hand and poked Chu Qili, "If there is any iron that needs to be forged in the future, just come to me." ”
"Definitely, with Sister Ling Lin's forging level, I'm afraid there will be no iron in this world that you can't build, right?" Chu Qili nodded and said with a smile.
Qi Linglin glanced at him and snorted, "Don't think that if you say a few nice words, you don't have to pay gold coins, I charge a lot of money." ”
In this regard, Chu Hatli had no choice but to smile and remain silent, for fear of igniting the other party's fiery temper again.
"Brother Chu, don't mind, Sister Ling Lin is joking, my father said to me that you have helped us a lot, if you need anything, just ask. Qi Qi stood in front of Qi Linglin and thanked him.
Chu Qili also realized in an instant, and it seemed that the armor-piercing crossbow had also attracted the attention of the Qi clan chief.
"Don't worry, I just hope that thing will be used to defend my homeland and not cause unnecessary bloodshed. Chu Qili said with a slight reminder, "For me, it's just a very ordinary iron weapon, and there are many more powerful iron tools in this world than it......"
Qi Qi's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Chu Qili with fear, "I'll remind my father." ”
Qi Linglin on the side naturally took all this into her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Zhao Zhi opened his mouth to end the short silence, "There is hospitality from the Lao Chu tribe these days. Especially in the area of spirits, our sisters have benefited a lot, and we look forward to sharing our experience with you again next time. ”
"Mmmm, that's right, thank you Brother Chu for your spirit seed. But next time, if I waste the spirit seed like this, I really have to compensate my sister to you......" Zhao Rou tugged at her sleeves, a little embarrassed.
After all, in the past two days, Chu Qili has provided her with too many spirit seeds, so much that she wants to rely on it.
"You girl, what do you say every day?" Zhao Zhiliu raised her eyebrows, pinched her sister's face, and looked at the other party grinning in pain, and felt a little better in her heart.
The atmosphere returned to cheerfulness, and the group chatted, and unconsciously came to the boundary monument of the Chu tribe.
Qi Shi and Zhao Gao, who were the leaders, persuaded Chief Chutian to stay at the same time. Next, the two tribes of their two tribes also had to divide into two routes, each embarking on their own return journey, and this send-off should end here.
Seeing that the front of the team stopped, Chu Qili was also a little reluctant to smile at a few people, "Then we will say goodbye to the Seven Clans?"
The girls nodded one after another, but Sister Ling Lin said with some disdain: "It's as if I can't bear to ...... you."
Saying that, she actually stepped forward, took Chu Qili into her arms, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled playfully, "Don't miss me too much." ”
The hug was not long, but although the other party's soft body only fit for a short time, it made Chu Heli stiffen in place, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
It was also at this interval that Sister Ling Lin pulled Qi Qi, and the two rushed to the front of the team together. Zhao Zhi greeted her, took her sister's hand, and followed closely.
"Goodbye to fate...... Chu Qili shrugged, the end of the separation, the trip to the battlefield was still uncertain, and his heart was far from as calm as his face showed.
The crowd was about 200 people, and the soldiers of the Zhao and Qi tribes divided into two roads and rushed to their own tribes.
"Let's go too. Seeing the crowd drift away, Chu Tian came to Chu Hatli's side and beckoned.
Chu Qili kept up with the chief's pace and walked slowly towards the tribe. Chu Tian suddenly spoke: "Early tomorrow morning, I will arrange for someone to help you move back to the tribe's residential area." ”
"Everyone gathers together, and there is a good response. But Chief, you need to arrange some manpower, and there are a lot of potatoes in the granary. Chu Qili said with a smile, "All of them will be transported back, enough for the tribe to eat for a while, and at the same time, let everyone adapt to and accept this new variety of food." ”
"That's fine, but it looks like it's going to have to change. Chu Tian had no reason to look up to the sky and sigh.
The two of them were not slow on their way, and they did not forget to discuss some things about reform along the way. Chu Heli explained his knowledge of agriculture and even the creation of armor-piercing crossbows.
Although the blacksmiths in the Chu tribe are not as many as the Qi clan, their craftsmanship is also much inferior. But the forging process of the mechanical core was not difficult, and they should have no problem. Crafting more armor-piercing crossbows can also be regarded as an extra layer of protection for the tribe.
"Uncle Dog, they have reached a very proficient level in the use of armor-piercing crossbows, and when the time comes, they will be able to teach these methods to their clansmen. Chu Qili suggested.
"The armor-piercing crossbow? is the kind of weapon you used to shoot Chu Ying before?"
Chu Tian rubbed the stubble on his chin, "At the beginning, Goudan and his party also used that thing to contain Chu Ying, it seems that they have learned a lot from you." ”
Chu Tian's brows tightened, and he thought hard for a long time before he finally made up his mind, "No problem, the next development plan of the tribe will be formulated by you, and I will assist you in implementing the plan!"
This decision also made Chu Qili's jaw drop a little shocked, which was equivalent to the chieftain making a desperate bet and betting everything on himself.
It seemed that two mountains were suddenly pressed on his shoulders, but Chu Hali had no intention of flinching, "Definitely, live up to the trust of the tribe!"
