The tribal chiefs arrived before and after, and everyone looked for seats to sit down. They also brought a lot of clansmen with them, but ordinary clansmen were not qualified to enter the shed, so they were curious to watch from a distance, where had they seen such a big scene in the wilderness. Lord Xiling, of course, sat in the center of the hidet, and he had been watching the people who walked in, and they were all sorts of strange shapes.

These people greeted the big shell of the fish and then looked for their own seats, and many people asked loudly: "Big shell, where is the fish?"

Yu Da Shell explained with a smile: "It's okay in a while, I'll be full today, and I'll start when I get there." ”

No one greeted Xiling, everyone just looked at him curiously and sat down by themselves, and no one even asked. Looking at Xiling's dress, it should come from outside the mountain, maybe it is a vendor with fish village hospitality. Yu Da Shell explained to Xiling in a low voice: "My lord, the wild people in the deep mountains are uneducated and don't know how to be polite, please don't mind." ”

Xiling shook his head with a smile and said, "How can I mind, otherwise why would the monarch send me?...... Ruoshan, the patriarch of Lu Village, who did you mention to me?"

Yu Dahu replied: "This man has always been arrogant, and all the patriarchs have arrived, but he is still in the future. ”

Xiling frowned slightly, he also noticed one thing. Although the tribal chiefs sat casually, they vacated the three places closest to them. The big fish shell sat on his left-hand side, followed by the members of the presbyterian council of the fish village. There were seven members of the Youyu Village Elder Council, including the three oldest elders and those who had broken through the initial realm and had been able to cultivate, there were four of them here at the moment, and the other three were the commanders of the military formation, so they did not appear.

On the opposite side of the big fish shell, on the right hand side of Xiling, the three positions in turn were always empty, and none of the chiefs of the various tribes sat down, obviously leaving it to someone, and everyone thought that the three people should sit in the front.

Lord Xiling guessed correctly, these three positions are reserved for Ruoshan, Ruoshui, and Gu Xin. The chiefs of the tribes did not need to be discussed, after all, they were the leaders of each tribe, and of course they knew the unwritten rules, and the most respected and important people should sit in the place where the food was first distributed at mealtime. Although Granny Shui is not a patriarch, she also came to the Central Valley yesterday, and there is a fish village that invites people to eat fish, how can you not invite her!

Xiling is also secretly observing the chiefs of the tribes, and from their words and deeds, they can also see what the current situation of the tribes is, and from the clothes they wear and the ornaments they carry, they can roughly judge the living environment and products of the tribes, which are all very important information. In careful comparison, the Youyu clan is indeed the richest, most prosperous, and most civilized tribe in this wilderness.

Just as Xiling was thinking this, the patriarchs of the various tribes who had already taken their seats suddenly stood up, greeted a person who had just arrived, and saluted in various ways to express their respects—it turned out that the mountain lord had finally arrived.

Shan Ye is not a person who likes to put on a show, unlike the other clan chiefs who came to eat fish, he has long known what this meal means, and he also knows that the army of Yuyu Village is waiting in the woods on the edge of the valley. He came a little late, because Ruoshui refused to go along, and he couldn't persuade him.

Ruoshui said: "What is so delicious about this meal, are you so greedy? Knowing that they have bad intentions, you still have to accompany the smiling face! Anyway, today is going to turn the face, and when they come over with a military formation, we can also show the military formation?"

Ruoshan persuaded: "That's not how things are done, even if you want to fight, you have to eat first." The chiefs of all the tribes are here, and I heard that there is also an envoy from the Xiangmuro country coming, and Yu Dahu will definitely say what he thinks, and I have something to say to the envoy of the king and the chiefs of the tribes. When the army is set up, it is best if there is no need to fight. ”

Ruoshui: "What you say always makes sense, you can go if you want, anyway, if I don't go, do you still want me to eat fish with those stinky men?...... Don't go alone, take Bo Zhuang with you, or bring the pan gourd with you. ”

Ruoshan couldn't help but smile: "Youyu Village invited the heads of various tribes, and as for the special invitation to you, it was to show respect." Bo Zhuang will have to command the army later, and it is not like taking a dog with him. ...... Rest assured, I won't be in danger, and no one can hurt me in that situation. ”

Just because of the delay here at Granny Shui, Ruoshan arrived relatively late, and then was welcomed by everyone. This meeting surprised Xiling, these barbarian tribesmen are not ignorant of etiquette, although their etiquette is very chaotic, they all express politeness and respect to Ruoshan, while Yu Dahu, who claims to be the leader of the barbarian tribes, does not have this kind of treatment.

Xiling originally thought that Ruoshan was an unruly man, with mud and bird feathers in his hair, his body was wrapped in animal skins, and various animal bones and animal teeth were hung around his neck, and there were messy patterns painted on his body, but this was not the case at all. Wakayama looked like he was in his thirties, dressed in a neat kudzu cloth shirt, holding a bone staff, and was very handsome in appearance and modest in his demeanor.

Ruoshan naturally walked to the opposite side of the fish shell at the front, greeted the patriarchs all the way, and accepted everyone's salutes and greetings. Xiling involuntarily stood up, and Yu Da Shell quickly stood up and introduced on the side: "Lord Xiling, this is the patriarch of Lu Village. ...... Lord Shan, this is Lord Xiling, the envoy sent by the monarch of the country of Ba!"

Hearing this, Ruoshan saluted Xiling and said: "Hello Lord Xiling, I welcome your arrival on behalf of all the barbarian tribes in this area, the road is difficult and rugged, you have worked hard!"

Xiling was taken aback again, he didn't expect Ruoshan to understand the etiquette of Ba Yuan Shangba Kingdom, so far, except for the elders of Yu Village, no one in the barbarian tribes present would salute like this. He subconsciously returned the salute and said: "Lord Shan is polite, please sit down! I am here with the mission of the king, and it is also for the benefit of all the tribes here." ...... How do you become familiar with Pakistani etiquette?"

Yu Da Shell has always called Ruoshan by his name in front of Xiling, but when Ruoshan came to him, he couldn't help but call Shanye. Although there is an absolute certainty of a big victory today, but when he saw the mountain master himself, the big shell of the fish was still inexplicably weak. And when Ruoshan walked into the shed, everyone also called him the mountain master. So even Xiling himself didn't realize it, and he inadvertently called it that.

The mountain master replied, "Don't be surprised. Sixty years ago, I was far away from the wilderness, traveled in Bayuan for three years, and I also wanted to make a contribution, but I was in troubled times, and in the end I achieved nothing!"

Xiling was so surprised that he was almost speechless, sixty years ago! So how old should this Ruoshan be this year? But he still looks so young, either he is talking nonsense, or he is a master who has cultivated deeply and knows the secret method of rejuvenating the face! Yu Da Shell said that he is a monk with a high realm, and it seems to be right.

The patriarchs also heard the conversation of the few of them just now. When they heard that Xiling's identity was that of the Monarch Envoy, everyone looked over one after another, with surprise and curiosity in their eyes. However, when Ruoshan claimed to have been to Bayuan sixty years ago, the reaction of all the patriarchs was very calm, and it seemed that this was true, and the people here had long known the Tao. No wonder everyone calls him Lord Shan, and he should indeed be called a master!

When Xiling looked at the mountain master carefully, he found that although this person was described as young, he felt that he was more than thirty years old, and there were some things that could not be described. From this point of view, the information that Yu Da Shell introduced earlier may not be true, this Ruoshan patriarch is by no means a foreigner, but may be the most knowledgeable elder in the wilderness in this area. He was respected by the patriarchs of the various tribes, even the two elders of Yuyu Village had just greeted Ruoshan, with the exception of Yu Da Shell and another elder.

Everyone sat down again, and Yu Da Shell frowned and asked, "Master Shan, why didn't Granny Shui and Gu Xin come with you?"

Ruoshan explained unhurriedly: "Youyu Village invited the chiefs of the tribes today, and Ruoshui said that she was not the patriarch, so she wouldn't come to join in the fun." ...... As for Gu Xin, it's because there is something in the clan that he can't come today. ”

Yu Da Shell was slightly startled, and said with a look of displeasure on his face: "I made it clear a month ago, today I want to discuss major matters related to the future of all ethnic groups, how can the patriarch of Huahai Village not be there?"

In fact, Yu Da Shell is worried about another thing, he has colluded with the Yu Clan Patriarch Chang Mao to attack Lu Village and Huahai Village today. Unexpectedly, there was such a master as Gu Xin left over there, and Da Mao might run into some trouble. But after thinking about it, according to the information that had been mastered, almost all the sturdy men from Lu Village and Huahai Village had come to the Central Valley, and even if there was still one Gu Xin left, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the flying Yu Nation, so he put his mind at ease again.

And Ruoshan replied: "Big Shell, didn't you invite everyone to eat fish?" It doesn't matter if Gu Xin doesn't come, I can bring him a few back." If you have anything to say, say the same to me, Huahai Village and Lu Village have formed an alliance, and I can also represent Huahai Village. ...... It's getting late, and everyone is hungry, so let's bring the fish to you. ”

Some people have been waiting impatiently for a long time, and since the mountain master has spoken, some patriarchs shouted: "Hurry up and bring the fish, we all smell the fragrance!"

Yu Da Shell knew the temper of these people, and it was estimated that they were about to flip the table if they didn't catch the fish anymore, and before they blocked everyone's mouths with fish, they couldn't talk about anything serious, he hurriedly waved his hand, and the fish and a plate of fish that had been prepared were brought up. This is a kind of cold-water fish that is a specialty of the fish sea, with few spines and delicious meat, and the people of the fish village have been fishing for generations, and they have also mastered the method of removing the fish.

The fish is boiled in a clay dish and seasoned with peppercorns and wild garlic from the mountains, and is accompanied by soybean sprouts and young leaves of blood-skinned cabbage. This kind of well-prepared food is difficult for even the villagers of Yuyu Village to enjoy, and the fish shell is indeed fully prepared, after all, there are the chiefs of the various tribes and the king's envoy here.
