Chapter 212: Punishment
Facing the patriarch's drinking, the leader of the hunting team was fearful.
"What is the sin? Why did you lead the hunting party to the top of that mountain, why did you fall for the design of a foreign race? Aren't these sins?"
Hearing what the patriarch said, Zhang Jiuxing trembled for a while, and hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, let me explain this matter." ”
"Well, tell me, why would you do such a ridiculous thing?"
Many clan elders and leaders are also staring at this person, wanting to understand the truth of the matter.
After all, this matter is really a bit puzzling.
The hunt went to the top of the mountain, where there was a strange valley, but there was nothing.
This is well known to everyone, after all, they all participated in the hunt.
Zhang Jiuxing was a little nervous and organized his language a little.
"Patriarch, elders and chiefs, this hunt is indeed a bit strange, we have just landed from the Condor, less than a day, it seems that someone is driving the beasts, all coming towards us, so the hunt is very smooth, but these beasts seem to be connected into a line, that is, the road to the mountain. That's what I didn't figure out until I was trapped. ”
As he spoke, he looked at everyone's expressions and continued: "Originally, I didn't plan to go up the mountain, after all, how can I hunt and run to the top of the mountain, I still have this common sense, but when I just arrived at the foot of the mountain, from different places under the mountain, dozens of beasts rushed towards the mountain one after another, as if there was something attracting. In particular, there are fierce beasts among them, and I am also trying to find out the reason, plus there are so many beasts, if they can be hunted at one time, then this hunt can be successfully completed. That's why I took my people up the mountain. In the end, I found that many wild beasts and fierce beasts had entered the valley on the top of the mountain, and I was careless, but I didn't think too much about it, and rushed in with my people, but after entering, it was as if I had entered a ghost domain, and there were illusions everywhere, and I couldn't get out. That's how it happened. ”
Long Xia listened to this person's description on the side, but nodded, this person was still telling the truth, and there was no quibble at all.
In fact, this Zhang Jiuxing wanted to make up some lies, but he didn't dare! Who knows if Long Xia got the exact truth from people from foreign tribes.
So to simply put it honestly, at most it is a command disadvantage.
After everyone listened, they were thoughtful.
The matter is very simple, it must be a foreigner, who has set a trap and used wild beasts and fierce beasts as bait to lure the people of the tribe into being deceived.
The reason is very simple, it is nothing more than an inducement.
On this day of hunting, seeing so many wild beasts and fierce beasts, it is inevitable to lose your normal heart and fall into the calculations of the other party.
But after that, it is worth pondering.
The patriarch's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at this person fiercely, and turned his head to look at the four other leaders who were supporting.
"Zhang Jiuxing fell for the enemy's calculations, which can be regarded as excusable, after all, it is to hunt more prey, but why did you four leaders, with a hundred people, fall into the same trap again?
When the four leaders heard what the patriarch said, they were also frightened, and the four of them immediately left their seats and bowed in the direction of the patriarch.
Among them, Su Lang's father took a step directly.
"Patriarch! I have to blame for this matter, the eagle sent us to the bottom of the mountain that day, and a few of us took the people up the mountain, but we did not encounter the slightest attack, which caused us to take it lightly, and I waited until I arrived in the valley, and did not find anything abnormal, for safety, I waited on the edge of the ground to bring back the test several times, and found that there was no problem, before entering, who knows, after entering, I found that it was impossible to come out, and it seems that there is a strange force, affecting our consciousness and spirit, no matter what, we can't get out。 ”
The patriarch listened to this man's narration, and there was a look of thought in his eyes.
Long Xia has always been curious, this old patriarch has only the strength of the late congenital stage, but what is going on with this strange momentum oppression.
The rest of the leaders also hurriedly explained the matter again.
After the patriarch listened, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
All the clan elders and chieftains remained silent.
The same is true for Long Xia, who has not told the patriarch the confession he had forced before.
After all, it's a little inconvenient at this time.
After pondering for a moment, the tension eased as the patriarch spoke.
"Zhang Jiuxing, you have led the hunting team for nearly ten years, and such a huge mistake has occurred, if it weren't for the help of nobles this time, then my clan would have fallen into a catastrophe, and you would be punished with ten lashes, I don't know if you have any complaints?"
After Zhang Jiuxing heard this, there was a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but this could not escape the eyes of the patriarch and Long Xia.
But neither of them pretended to be a no-see.
"Do as the patriarch says. ”
A personal guard of the patriarch came over and took Zhang Jiuxing to the execution.
"Su Boyuan, as a rescuer, you are vigilant to the tribe, causing the people of the tribe to be ambushed again, and you will be punished for a month's food, can you be convinced?"
Hearing what the patriarch said, Su Lang's father hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Thank you for the kindness of the patriarch." ”
Eating food in January is a big problem for ordinary people, but for these leaders, even if they don't have it, they can borrow it, and in short, they won't starve to death.
Long Xia looked at the retreating man.
The face looks a little elegant, and the first thing is that I feel that this person is a kind person.
Judging from the many contacts, this is indeed the case.
In my heart, there is a kind of helplessness.
The rest of the leaders were also punished for some food.
This kind of punishment is already very serious among the tribes.
Of course, Zhang Jiuxing's whipping is more serious.
A moment later, the executioner returned, but Zhang Jiuxing did not come.
It seems that he was sent directly back to his home.
After all, he is a leader, and if he is seen by the clansmen, it will still damage his face.
After settling the matter, everyone dispersed temporarily, and the clan elder and others went to distribute the prey.
In the hall, only the patriarch and Long Xia were left.
The patriarch looked at Long Xia's young face, but he was a little embarrassed.
"I'll just call you Xiaoyou! Thank you for your help on this trip, otherwise, our department will really fall into a catastrophe. ”
"The patriarch is polite! everything should be, besides, it's just a deal after all. ”
"Haha! Xiaoyou's strength is really beyond my expectations, I don't know if I heard about this trip, why do these tribes want to target my Qingtian Department?"
