"And where is this now?" the patriarch asked.

Since she is the daughter of the patriarch and the representative of the Copper Clan who are in the blood alliance this time, it is impossible for him to slack off. What's more, after forming an alliance, it is inevitable to deal with the Copper Clan, and it is still very important to be able to make a good impression when we meet for the first time. This area of you, as the patriarch of a clan, is naturally impossible for him not to know. But his eyes searched around, except for the Wu women, the unfamiliar faces were all strong copper warriors, which made him a little at a loss for a while.

And while the two were talking, the sedan chair had already arrived at the oasis. The priest heard the voice behind him and said, "Don't look for the patriarch anymore, it's right there." ”

Following the finger of the sacrifice, the patriarch looked at this palanquin, which could be called magnificent. There are only these big tribes who can have such pomp and circumstance when traveling in the desert. After seeing Yan Qingjing's payment, the patriarch had already confirmed from the other party's unapproachable temperament that this must be the daughter of the noble patriarch. But when he stepped forward and was about to speak, he saw Zhuge Chen also walking down from the sedan chair. It's hard not to think too much about being alone with a man and a widow in the same room. The patriarch immediately sank his face, but he didn't know what to say, so he kept standing still.

And in the crowd, Gina, who finally found the person she missed, was even more nameless.

Wanyan Qingjing's gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, and then pretended to stumble on the soles of his feet, and fell directly towards Zhuge Chen. Completely subconsciously, Bai Yi stretched out his hand to support Wanyan Qingjing in the air. But it is obviously a very normal move, and in the eyes of others, it seems that Zhuge Chen has taken that beautiful Qingjing into his arms. That's it, Wanyan Qingjing is so scheming, he actually smiled provocatively at Gina, that look is really intriguing.

Gina, who was already frowning, immediately rushed out of the crowd, leaving only one sentence that resounded in the sky: "Zhuge Chen, you bastard!"

The second monk Zhuge Chen, who got a scolding for no reason, was puzzled, and just said to himself in confusion: "What's the matter, I, Zhuge Chen...... Is it that annoying?"

And Wanyan Qingjing also left Zhuge Chen's arms at this time, she said with a smile: "I'm afraid she misunderstood the relationship between the two of us, and she was still stunned for what to do, go and explain!"

"How could it be. Zhuge Chen said firmly: "It's impossible for Gina, who I am familiar with, to be jealous of such a trivial matter, but Miss Qingjing, you better be more careful." ”

Although he said this, Zhuge Chen still left from here, wanting to go to Gina as soon as possible. However, unexpectedly, he was stopped by the patriarch: "Boy, you tell me the truth, do you and the daughter of the patriarch of the copper clan have something to hide from us? You are still young, and you are a rare pride of heaven in the world, even if you have three wives and four concubines, it is not a big deal." But wouldn't it hurt Gina's heart if you showed mercy everywhere?, have you only met the daughter of the patriarch of the Bronze Clan, and have you already developed to that point?!"

Facing the patriarch's questioning, Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "Patriarch, what are you talking about, maybe it's a little too old and disrespectful, right? I'm not one of those rich businessmen, so three wives and four concubines are still exempt." And I don't have anything with Miss Qingjing at all, where will there be any such thing? I am in the sedan chair, but I just explained to her the things that need to be paid attention to in the blood alliance, and I will never let the entire copper clan collapse because of this, and it is not like the patriarch thinks. The patriarch should hurry up and greet the Bronze Clan, I still have to explain to Gina so that she doesn't have to think nonsense. ”

After that, Zhuge Chen's whole person shuttled through the crowd with sword qi. Having spent so much time with Gina, he naturally knows where to go when a woman is sad.

Next to the small lake, there is an extremely clean cave that has been cleaned up by the Wu people. Zhuge Chen stepped on the protruding rock, walked step by step, and heard Gina's sobs from the entrance of the cave. Bai Yi sighed, naturally distressed. There is a bamboo forest in the cave, and I don't know when it was planted, but this is really a rarity in the desert. But if you take one out, it will be a sky-high price. After all, scarcity is expensive, just like fruits outside the desert, ordinary people can eat them, and here only the big tribes can do it.

Zhuge Chen took out a copper lamp from the mustard seeds, lit it with a qi machine, and illuminated the originally dark cave, he looked ahead, hoping to see Gina's figure. Sure enough, in the depths of the bamboo forest, he saw the woman curled up together. When I met her, what was most infectiously injured in bed at that time was the smile on the woman's face that never went away, but now the smile was gone, leaving only a weak cry echoing in the cave.

Zhuge Chen cautiously squatted beside Gina, put the copper lamp on the ground and said, "It's pitch black, aren't you afraid?"

Gina, who was in tears, looked up, and when she realized that she was the last person she wanted to see at the moment, she buried her head in her arms again.

Zhuge Chen had no choice but to leave the bronze lamp and said, "If you don't want to see me, then I'll leave." ”

"How dare you?" said Gina, "if you do leave this cave, I swear you will never see me from now on." Even if I did, I would never pay attention to you. ”

Zhuge Chen had to continue squatting, but there was no way to go on like this, so he had to speak: "I really have nothing to do with Wanyan Qingjing, I have a clear conscience, and I can even use my own realm as a guarantee." ”

"Of course I know that, and I've never blamed you for it. Gina whispered, as if to stop crying: "Yes, but I don't know why, when I watched you and the daughter of the patriarch of the copper clan get off the sedan chair, I suddenly felt a little jealous, and...... I always felt like I didn't deserve you. After all, you are still so young, you are already a cultivator at the peak realm of the Heavenly Mandate, and you will definitely be far more than this in the future. There must be a lot of women who like you, and I'm so ordinary, I may still be able to see it in the desert, and when I get to the outside world, this idea will definitely be more firm!"

Zhuge Chen chuckled and helped Gina wipe away her tears, and then whispered softly: "What happened to me at the time." There's no need to worry about that, those women are different from you. From head to toe, there is a world of difference. "Knock knock

For Zhuge Chen, who had the head of elm, to be able to say such a thing was already a great effort. How could Gina, who was close to his heart, not know? Just looking at Zhuge Chen's delicate side face, she still had a sense of anger, so she didn't speak.

It's not a way to stay here all the time, not to mention that he must be present when the blood alliance is made, so Zhuge Chen said: "Look at you, it's okay, I'll really leave." If the patriarch does it alone, he won't have to worry and effort, and I have to help go there and keep an eye on it. I'll leave the bronze lamp here, so that you won't be careful to fall down in the dark. Don't stay here all the time, it's going to be a banquet when it's over, and you'd better go out for a bite to eat. ”

Seeing that Gina hadn't spoken, Zhuge Chen returned the same way and walked out of the cave. After waiting for a while, I saw Yan Qingjing walking out of the shadows, looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, he walked into the cave.

On the top of the cliff, Du Chunqiu took in everything and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be the Shura Field." ”

......

On the other side, the alliance has begun. Zhuge Chen sat on one of the chairs on the high platform that had been erected, while the other one that was supposed to be Wanyan Shujing was empty.

Zhuge Chen was a little strange, until the Tong Clan priest said to him: "Miss, although she was sent by the patriarch, she has very little experience in such things after all, so after some discussion, I will do it for you." The same goes for you, and if you're too bored, you can find a reason to leave. I'll explain it then, and it doesn't hurt. ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "No need, it's not bad to sit on a high place and enjoy the scenery of the oasis." The next step is to get rid of the sacrifice to you, and you must be foolproof. ”

"Just rest assured. After saying this, he and the patriarch came to the middle of the clearing surrounded by the people of the two tribes. He glanced at the patriarch of the Wu clan, and then said to the people around him: "Take the blood of the cow and sheep and put it in the bronze vessel, and remember not to spill a drop." Otherwise, you'll have to do it all over again. ”

Hear the words left and right, and do them in turn.

The priest took the bronze vessel from his left and right hands, lifted it above his head with his hand, and bent forward to the patriarch.

In the blood alliance, there is a lot of attention to the positions of the two sides. As for the attention to how to take over the bronze, it can be called nitpicking. Because of Zhuge Chen and Du Chunqiu, the Tong clan had to agree to form an alliance between the two clans, so that the clansmen could continue to survive in the desert. Therefore, the bronze ware must first pass through the hands of the copper priest before it can be presented to the patriarch. If the Wu clan is stronger than the Tong clan, the patriarch can naturally accept it calmly, but the crux of the problem is that the Wu clan is relying on external forces, not the real power of the clan.

Therefore, the patriarch also bent down, and after taking the bronze artifact, he whispered to the priest of the copper clan: "Actually, I think that it is not you and me who are at the forefront at the moment, but should be the priority among the two clans. Although it is thanks to those two that there is today's blood alliance, but in the future, the Wu tribe will need to rely more on a big tribe like the copper tribe, and I have always felt this way. ”

The patriarch said cautiously. The priest whispered.

For today's sacrifices, the relationship between the two clans is not so important, the real focus is on Zhuge Chen and Du Chunqiu, as long as the two are still there, the relationship between the two clans can always be harmonious. He now understood why the patriarch always talked about the fact that between the major tribes, he didn't look at the cavalry and warriors, but only the killing power of the cultivator with the highest realm. What kind of battlefield is ten thousand enemies, it's all nonsense, and it's really not worth mentioning compared to the cultivators who enter the hall.

And Zhuge Chen and Du Chunqiu, especially the latter, are invincible existences like the god of war in the desert. As long as he makes a move, even if the four major tribes join forces, I am afraid that he will not be an opponent.

When the patriarch took over the bronze vessel, the priest breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed worried that something would happen, such as the other three tribes hearing the news and rushing to sabotage the alliance. Thankfully, so far, he would have become a sinner of both races. The next thing was simple, the priest took out another bronze vessel, divided half of the blood of the cow and sheep, and then whispered something like that for the god of the desert. But because it was a long story, the delay was still a long time. Even Zhuge Chen on the high platform couldn't help but yawn, not to mention the people of the two clans around him.

Fortunately, this bloody alliance will finally come to an end, and as the copper sacrifice was completed, everyone flocked to the table to eat. After all, this time the stakes are very high, and the banquet after that is naturally extremely rich, even those precious fruits are everything. Zhuge Chen didn't go directly to Gina, but stayed here. What he thought in his heart was simple, since Gina wanted to be quiet, it was up to him. If he had to rush over to take a look, it would not be good, so he walked to the side of the copper tribe priest and asked, "Isn't the sacrifice going over there to be lively?"

The priest sighed, looked at Zhuge Chen, who was holding the wine jug in his hand, and said, "I won't go over to spoil the fun with them, after all, when I'm old, I can't easily integrate into the world of young people." It used to be fine, and I felt like I could talk to anyone in the clan. As for now, it is becoming more and more inadequate. First, his current identity is already a sacrifice, and after all, it is different from the past. Besides, I still don't have the passion of the past, and I always feel that I can't get excited about doing anything. ”

Zhuge Chen said after taking a sip of wine: "Human nature, this is also inevitable. However, the sacrifice of you is now among the good luck, and you have a few hundred years of longevity in vain, so you are not too old. And if the two races can prosper more and more, I promise that your realm will never stop there. ”

"Really? Then I'll thank you. The sacrifice was a little excited, and for a while he was even more incoherent. Of course, he wanted to further appreciate the scenery of the Mandate of Heaven, but he also knew in his heart that he was not connected to that realm after all. However, at this moment, hope was rekindled in his heart: "I will definitely spare no effort for the sake of the relationship between the two races! ”

Zhuge Chen smiled and handed the wine jug to the sacrifice, and then said, "Let's go?"
