Chapter 241: The Eagle Master Has Arrived
"Do you want to confess your true identity to Tra, or don't?" Yan Long thought to himself. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
By this time, he had gone outside Tra's tent and was thinking about how to say goodbye to Tra.
He has always been grateful for the kindness of Terra in saving him from danger, and he will definitely repay this great kindness, even if he risks his life. Although the cruel experience of the previous life and the hardships of this life have polished him into an extremely realistic person, they have not turned him into a vulgar person.
"Forget it, just quit. Now that the situation between friend and foe is unknown, even if it is not insincere to conceal one's true identity. Yan Long made up his mind and walked towards Tra's big tent.
At this moment a guard ran past him, and after informing the guard at the door, he hurried into Terra's tent.
The guard had a worried look on his face, and it seemed that something important had happened.
Yan Long stopped.
In a moment Terra came out of the tent, his steps heavy and urgent, just as he was in the mood.
As he walked out of the big tent, he said to the guards beside him in Mongolian language: "Why did they come so early, there are still more than two months before the payment of the first half of the tax money!"
Waiting for Wei Ne replied, "I don't know. The Great Elder was greeting them. ”
"How many people are here?"
"One hundred!"
Terra gasped and said, "In the past, I only brought a dozen people at most, but this time I brought a hundred people, what do they want to do?"
When Yan Long heard this, his heart moved: "Eagle Division, is it the largest group of horse thieves in the Gobi Desert?"
Tra saw Yan Long standing outside the big tent, and seemed to have something to say to herself, so she squeezed out a smile and said, "Young Master Yan Long, I still have some urgent matters to deal with, and when the matter is over, let's talk about it." ”
Yan Long smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, Patriarch, your business is important, let's get busy first." ”
Seeing Tra hurriedly walking towards the gate of the tribal camp, Yan Long followed suit.
When he arrived, he saw that the gate of the camp was open, and he was pacing at the gate of the camp, looking very anxious. As soon as he saw Tra, he stomped his feet and complained, "Why did you come, the envoy of the Eagle Master has been waiting for a long time. ”
Tra looked at the broad servile face, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
When he came to the gate of the camp, he made a Mongolian salute to the hundred knights lined up outside the gate, and said in a loud voice: "Terra, the leader of the Gegen tribe, salute the Eagle Division." I wish you all the friends who have come from afar well!"
The black knights on a hundred black horses were unusually fierce, they were covered with black scarves, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but their eyes showed a cruel and contemptuous look.
They were all carrying bows and arrows, and scimitars were hanging from their waists.
Long ropes were tied to the hooks and loops behind the saddles of the four horses in the center, and behind each rope was a corpse!
Looking at the clothing of the corpses, it should be a herdsman on the grassland, these corpses are all bloodstained, the skin is rotten, and one corpse even has the skin of the intestines worn out, and the internal organs are all over the ground.
Obviously, because some small tribes could not afford to pay the Ding tax, the Eagle Master captured some herdsmen and dragged them to death on horses to serve as a threat.
Seeing that Tra had arrived, the first black knight came to Tra with a bridle. The black steed under his crotch suddenly stood up, his front hooves kicking wildly, and the horseshoe was almost touching the tip of Terra's nose!
Tra's face did not change color, and only let the horse's hooves fly in front of his eyes.
The black-clothed knight saw that Tra was still unmoved, and smiled sadly in Mongolian language: "Leader Tra, I hope that the men in your tribe are also like you, a man, otherwise it will be a waste if we bring it back." But...... Except for women, hahaha. ”
The arrogance and evil in his tone were extremely infuriating, and the faces of several Mongolian men behind Tra showed anger. But Tra was still as calm as a mountain, and his face was like a flat lake, and he said to the black-clothed knight: "Lord Saqiu, we only hand over cattle, sheep, money and grain, not the population. We have an agreement with Lord Akataka. ”
Saqiu ripped off his mask, revealing an ugly face covered in scars, and he grinned: "Leader of Tra, I am the leader of this collection of taxes, Lord Red Eagle said before I left, everything is up to me. We don't lack cattle and sheep, we only lack people!"
Tra was furious, and he said firmly: "The promises of our men on the grassland are as precious as gold, even if they are as noble as Lord Red Eagle, they cannot be broken. We only hand over cattle and sheep to the roots, not to people. ”
Saqiwu's face was pale, which made his ugly face even more distorted and hideous. He pointed to the four corpses dragged behind the horses and said sharply to Tra, "Do you want everyone in your tribe to be like them?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Several of the guards behind Tra even pulled their cutlass out of their sheaths.
The hundred knights beside Saqiu unleashed their swords in unison, ready to slash and slash.
It's about to start!
Kuokuo suddenly took a big stride out, he raised his hand and shouted at the people of his tribe: "Stop, stop, everyone stop first, listen to me!"
Saqiu snorted coldly, rested his scimitar on his shoulder, and looked coldly at Tra and Kuokuo.
Kuokuo stood in front of Tra, and scolded with a gloomy face: "Tra, are you crazy to want to fight against Lord Red Eagle, you must know that Lord Red Eagle is an ally of Lin Dan Khan, the ruler of our steppe, and the Eagle Master is a friend of our Gegen, not an enemy." ”
Tra sneered: "Friend?!Break into our yurt, rob our cattle and sheep, rape our wife and daughter, kill our brother, this is a friend?! The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
Yan Long, who was watching from a distance, secretly praised in his heart: "Tra is still a little arrogant!" When he looked at Kuo Kuo again, he saw Kuo Kuo with an obscene and humble look, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted, so he turned his face away. But seeing the many tribal herdsmen and slaves watching in front of the gate, there were fearful expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were extremely afraid of the Eagle Master, and there were not many who were as indignant as Tra.
Gegen has always been mainly herding and trading, pursuing pacifism, and has not fought with other tribes or forces for many years, although there are almost a thousand samurai in the tribe, but when it comes to combat power, compared to the eagle division who kills people every day, it is indeed far behind.
Kuokuo said to Tra coldly: "Brother Tra, I want to remind you that although you are the leader, you are not alone in Gegen, and as the Great Elder, I can't let you destroy the entire tribe." I ask that a council of elders of the tribe be held tonight to vote on whether you are still qualified to be the head of the clan!"
Tra sneered: "Kuokuo, don't waste your time here, the convening of the Council of Elders must be proposed by more than half of the elders before it can be convened." It's not like you can convene it if you say it. ”
Kuokuo snorted coldly and said, "Not more than half?!Tra, your eyes have been blinded by your pride, don't you believe you can ask them, do you agree to convene the Council of Elders?"
"Should!" someone chimed in.
Someone whispered, "I think it's okay." ”
Someone hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I agree with Kuo Kuang's opinion." ”
There are a total of nine elders in the tribal elders, including Liantra, and as long as more than half of them propose to convene it, they can convene an elders' meeting, and as long as two-thirds agree, they can remove the head of the clan and decide all major matters in the tribe!
Tra looked at Kuokuo and the other five elders, his heart was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "If you donate people out, you will destroy the clan! ”
Kuokuo bowed to Saqiwu and said with a flattering smile: "Then please ask the lords of the Eagle Master to live in our tent first, and then give you a satisfactory answer after our tribe has a decision." ”
Saqiu said arrogantly, "Yes, but quickly, otherwise our saber will not stay in the scabbard for long." ”
