When we walked out of the cave, it was already dark.

The sky was still raining, and it was like mist. The spring is cold, the morning chill is even stronger, and the cold wind and rain hit the body indescribably cold.

Last night's battle, most of the high platform at the entrance of the cave was destroyed, and the scorched wood with green smoke could be seen from time to time in the broken and broken wood, and under the collapsed high platform, the blood had stained the earth red, and there were human stumps and bloodstained and shoddy animal skin clothes everywhere. The bodies of the slain Miro had been carried down the mountain, and although the three elders had counted the dead figures, there were still many old and weak women and children searching for the stumps on the ground, and the cries were scattered.

The human body has been divided, and even the stump is incomplete if it is put together. I followed behind Nagu, and when I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart.

At this time, Abigail turned his head and said, "Mr. Nagu, I am really sorry that my clan has caused trouble and caused your people to be implicated. Sir, let's go back to the cave first, and then come to the door to thank you when I finish dealing with this matter. ”

Na Gu smiled and said, "The patriarch is serious, you and I are close neighbors, and we have to be in the same boat in times of great trouble, so why be polite? Wherever you can use my Heavenly Wolf Clan, please tell the patriarch bluntly!"

Naguxian was speaking much harder, and his waist was straightened. The scene the two of them said at this time seemed to be very ordinary, but I knew that it was definitely not as simple as a needle. As soon as the words came out, I saw the faces of the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder next to me, and suddenly turned extremely embarrassed. Probably the two of them still wanted to say something against submission, but now in front of Abigail and the others, they couldn't say anything.

There is no doubt that Abigail wanted to submit to the Song court. When I was in Zabal Cave Mansion, I thought that he would spare no effort to help the Great Elder and the Third Elder speak, and persuade Zabar to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty. But in fact, Abigail did not do this, but only to temporarily stabilize the situation with Zabar.

Bidding farewell to Abigail, I walked side by side with the three Celestial Wolf clansmen, following Nagu down the mountain. There was a lot of blood flowing from the top of the mountain, and we walked a long way along the rain, still stepping on the muddy water with blood stains under our feet. I don't know how much blood was shed by the Miro people who died last night, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a river of blood now.

As soon as we returned to the cave where we lived, Nagu could no longer hide his excitement, grabbed my shoulder, and said with a long smile: "Friend Gu, you have made a great contribution to my Heavenly Wolf Clan this time!

On the way here, he was still upright, but now he seemed to be a different person, and his eyes flashed with light. I was uncomfortable for a while when I was caught by him, withdrew my shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Really?"

Nagu let go of my shoulder and said excitedly, "Of course, although Zabal hasn't nodded yet, I'm ninety percent sure that he has the heart to submit!"

I was slightly startled, and said, "How does the gentleman see that?" I would not be surprised if he was sure of Abigail, but I was a little puzzled if he was so sure of Zabal.

Nagu smiled and said, "We have been visiting the Miro Clan for the past few days, and Zabal has never given us a good face, but today in front of all the elders, he has already called me 'Wizard', which shows that his attitude towards us has taken a big turn! You know, he has always looked down on me, the witch doctor of the Sky Wolf Clan, and now he calls me so, which means to be good." ”

I was a little confused for a moment, and said, "Probably because some of our people have died, and Zabal may be comforting us." ”

"You're wrong. Nagu suddenly laughed, walked to the bonfire in the cave, and said: "If he only changed his attitude towards me, but he had a heart to appease us, but in the meeting just now, he not only had no resistance to the three elders' suggestion to attach themselves to the imperial court, but even called Abigail by his young name in front of all the elders, that would be an ulterior motive." ”

He said it so loudly that I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Oh, yes. Zabal has always known that Abigail has a heart of submission, because he has never had a good face for Abigail, and our arrival in the past few days has made him speak coldly to Abigail, and from time to time he will make secret rebukes. And just now in his cave mansion, when the three elders proposed to borrow the power of the Great Song Dynasty, Zabal was surprisingly calm, which was indeed a little abnormal.

There is no need for outsiders to participate in this high-level meeting of the Miro clan, and even the few clansmen who died this time in the Sky Wolf Clan are not qualified to participate. But this time, Zabal specially invited Nagu to participate in their meeting, and not only that, but even the words spoken at the meeting were in the Central Plains dialect.

They are medium-sized tribes in the Western Regions, and even discussions and decisions should be communicated in their language, and Nagu can understand them. I always thought that Zabal did this out of gratitude, and I didn't think about it deeply at all, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that in Zabal's heart, he already has the intention of submitting to the imperial court.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was not simple, and said casually: "But sir, Zabal hates the people of the Central Plains, how can he be so easily obedient?"

Nagu put his hands close to the bonfire and sneered, "I'm not sure what is left, but it's irrelevant. Now that the Western Regions are in chaos, all the clans are relying on the big forces everywhere to survive, and the times are not going well, even the remote land is no exception. Zabal is notorious, if you want to rely on the local clan is simply impossible, when the Central Plains is the most stable today, the imperial court's policy of opening up to the Guishun tribe is many times better than most of their local tribes, they Miluo want to survive, Guishun to the Great Song is undoubtedly the best choice. Not to mention revenge, even if the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty Frontier casually handpicked 10,000 elite soldiers, it was enough to eradicate the Immortal Hall!"

At the end, his eyes became more and more shining, and he rubbed his hands together, and continued: "Zabal is a smart man, and he knows what to do best, but this matter must not be rushed, and must be taken slowly. ”

I see!

Listening to what Nagu said so much, I was distracted for a while. No wonder Abigail did not strike while the iron was hot at the meeting just now, thinking that he knew Zabal's temperament better than Nagu, and knew that this was not the time to persuade him to submit, so he did not mention it at the meeting.

Compared with the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how big the tribal power of the Western Regions is, it can't be compared, right? If the Miluo tribe can use the strength of the Great Song army to take revenge on the Changshengtang, it is really not a problem, and the pacification policy of the Great Song Dynasty court for the Guishun tribe is also better than that of the Western Regions clan, not only in the Central Plains territory is allocated to them, but the middle and high-level of the clan can even be assigned some official positions, which is much more generous than the women and property to be sacrificed by the local clan. Zabal must have known this, and the reason why he did not oppose the matter of conversion was that he was already shaken in his heart.

I really didn't expect that there were so many things hidden in this meeting, and if it weren't for the ancient points, I wouldn't have thought of so many at all. I couldn't help but think of the ugly looks of the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder before parting, probably they also thought of these things, but I didn't notice it at all at that time.

I looked at Nagu, the patriarch of the Sky Wolf Clan was able to send him to test the tone of the Miro Clan, and he really chose the right person. Although Nagu is just a witch doctor, his observation of words and colors is actually different from ordinary people, and his mind cannot be described as imprecessive. But for some reason, when he says these words now, I feel a chill for no reason, and I just feel that he is becoming more and more strange. After all, with so many people dead, he didn't seem to care at all.

Seeing my gaze, Nagu turned his head and said with a smile: "Friend Gu came over to roast the fire, fortunately you made a move last night, once this matter is completed, you will make a great contribution! I will definitely report it to the envoy, wealth is indispensable, hehe." ”

The Immortal Hall's raid on the Miluo tribe this time caused heavy casualties and morale to the Miluo tribe, and this kind of wound may not be able to heal for several years. But for Nagu, this kind of misfortune is undoubtedly a great opportunity, but it is a thing for him to be thankful for, maybe it will not be long before the Miro tribe is really "obedient just around the corner" as he wishes, and he will be able to make a good deal when he returns.

Seeing that I was standing still, Na Gu said strangely: "Friend Gu, what's wrong?"

He didn't know that the person the Immortal Hall was looking for was me, and I was going to go back to the cave to explain the truth to him, but this time the trouble was on me, and I couldn't say it in front of Zabal and Abigail, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in my chest. But after listening to Nagu say so much, this idea was also dispelled by me. In the face of such a thoughtful person, I was still a little scared, and I didn't dare to tell him what I really thought in my heart.

I shook my head and said, "Nothing. ”

Na Gu seemed to think of something, but said with a smile: "Are you Gu still worried about the Gu poison on your body?" Don't worry, Zabal attaches great importance to reason, this time you saved Abigail's life again, Zabal will definitely do his best to treat you." ”

Zabal's temperament has been thoroughly understood by him, he is in a very good mood now, I really don't know what to tell him, I just said: "I hope so, cure the Gu poison on my body, and rush back to the Central Plains as soon as possible." ”

Na Gu said: "Why do you need to be in such a hurry, wait for this matter, why don't you go back to the Heavenly Wolf with me first, Patriarch Liangmu will definitely have a heavy reward." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "No need, I've been out for so long, and I don't know what's going on in the dart game, so I can go back early to take care of the trivial things in the dart game." ”

A hint of regret appeared on his face, but he only nodded and said, "It's okay." But I believe it won't be long before we see you in the Central Plains, hehe. ”

At this time, a member of the Heavenly Wolf Clan brought two clean animal skin clothes, Na Gu took one and said, "Gu Youren also changed, it rained all night, and the clothes on his body were all soaked. ”

I took the beast skin shirt from the wolf clansman. As early as last night, the animal skin clothes on my body were already soaked, and I didn't feel anything when I fought with the people of the Immortal Hall at that time, but now that people are relaxed, they are very close to the bonfire, and they only feel a burst of coolness.

The Miluo clan's hatred, I must find the Immortal Hall to settle it out.

Changing into animal skin clothes, I thought silently to myself.
