Chapter XVI Negotiations
The few people left by the Wharton tribe to guard their prey also fled with the large army when they saw that the large army had run away and dared to stay where they were. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The hunters of the Sandy tribe rushed over to take a look and immediately cheered.
The Wharton tribe had a lot of harvest this hunt, and they actually hunted a three-headed wildebeest, which had just begun to be skinned, and the prey was still on the ground at the moment.
Without saying a word, everyone rushed up and continued to skin the wildebeest, divided it into small pieces, and everyone divided and brought it, happily turning back to the tribal station.
The whole procedure, everyone talked and laughed, very happy, only Pendit frowned, seemed to be preoccupied, hiding to the side, and the mood was dull.
Seeing this, Wang Ning opened his mouth and asked, "Chief, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Pendit sighed: "Alas, the Wharton tribe is a large tribe, with a population of thousands and more than 600 hunters, powerful and fierce, often fighting with the surrounding tribes, winning more and losing less, and extremely rich in combat experience. ”
Listening to Pendit's concern, Wang Ning also felt that the problem was a bit complicated.
If the Wharton tribe dispatches all the hunters to besiege the Sandy tribe, it will be six hundred against thirty, and the difference in numbers will reach twenty times, this battle is really a bit difficult to fight.
Wang Ning couldn't think of a good way, so he had to comfort Pendit: "Don't worry, chief, the warriors of our tribe are all brave and good at fighting, and it's no problem to be a hundred, are you still afraid that the Wharton tribe won't succeed." ”
Pendit shook his head: "Things are not as simple as you think, the war between the tribes is a bloody massacre, even if we can defeat the Wharton tribe, we will definitely suffer heavy losses in the end, and the tribe may cease to exist from now on, alas, those old and weak women and children, what can we do?"
Wang Ning's heart sank sharply.
Yes, the old and weak women and children in the tribe have lost the protection of the hunters, and the surrounding tribes will break into the tribe as soon as they hear the news, kill the old people and children, and snatch all the women.
This is the most primitive law of survival in this area, the law of the jungle, in order to expand the strength of the tribe, there is no mercy, unscrupulous means.
Returning to the Horde station, Pendit ordered all the hunters to find suitable branches and make javelins to prepare for the Wharton Tribe's attack.
Wang Ning was very strange, why the tribe usually didn't prepare, and had to wait until the enemy pressed the realm before sharpening the spear, which was also unreasonable.
After asking Delikun, Wang Ning realized that the Sandy tribe had been trying to survive in the cracks of the major tribes, and had always shown favor to the surrounding powerful tribes in the posture of a weakling.
The surrounding powerful tribes also disdain to come and annex the Sandy tribe, after all, if everyone goes to war, there will be losses, and the Sandy tribe is too small in number to be worth fighting.
Because of this, the Sandy tribe has been able to exist without danger for so many years.
The next evening, the dogs of the tribe suddenly barked wildly.
Pendit seemed to have expected that there would be this moment, and the first one rushed to the gate of the tribal station, and saw a smug Tu Feiyuan, standing outside the gate, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't you want to drive these nasty dogs away and welcome your future son-in-law in?"
At this time, the hunters in the tribe also gathered around and glared angrily at Tu Feiyuan.
Pendit snorted, turned to the hunters, and said, "Get the dog away." ”
The hunters drove the dogs away, and Tu Feiyuan followed Pendit into the tribe and sat on the ground in the courtyard, with the wizard Drikun sitting next to Pendit, and the hunters all sitting behind Pendit, and Lilina and Sara standing by and watching.
Wang Ning had never seen the black tribes negotiate, and he also mixed in with the hunters to see how the two sides talked.
Pendit said coldly: "Young Master Tu Feiyuan, tell me your intentions." ”
Tu Feiyuan shook his head and said: "I came this time to negotiate with you on behalf of the Wharton tribe chieftain, our Wharton tribe has two conditions, you must agree, otherwise there will be a full-scale war." ”
Pendit's face was ugly: "Say it and listen to it." ”
Tu Feiyuan: "First, the population of our tribe has increased a lot recently, and the original hunting ground has been difficult to maintain such a large population, since you are not interested in your hunting ground, then it will be ours." ”
Pendit: "Say the second condition. ”
Tufei Yuan glanced at Sara and Lilina with squinting eyes: "This second condition is that your two daughters will marry me, how about it?" Agreed, you are my father-in-law, Sandy tribe and Wharton tribe, and they will become a family, and in the future, the affairs of your Sandy tribe will be the affairs of our Wharton tribe." ”
Pendit: "That's it?"
Tu Feiyuan smiled proudly: "After speaking, you must agree to these two conditions, otherwise there will be a full-scale war, and there will be no death, by the way, the governor and the mayor are good friends of my father, even if you sue the official, no one will care." ”
Pendit knew that Tu Feiyuan did not brag, the Wharton tribe has been flying in recent years, and the surrounding tribes have been oppressed by the Wharton tribe, but they have never seen the official control.
If there is no official backing from the back, how dare the Wharton tribe be so arrogant.
Pendit said: "Okay, your conditions are too harsh, I can't be the master alone, I want to discuss with the people of the tribe, and then reply to you." ”
Tu Feiyuan's face was impatient: "Hurry up, I have to rush back for dinner." ”
Pendit didn't say a word, and led Delikun and the tribal hunters to the side to discuss.
Wang Ning originally wanted to go over and listen, but Lilina and Sara stopped Wang Ning and pulled Wang Ning into a corner.
Sara said anxiously, "Bald Yui, you must save us." ”
Lilina also said eagerly: "Yes, Bald Yui, if you don't save us, we will die." ”
Wang Ning was puzzled: "Aren't you all good, why do you want to save you?"
Sara said: "My father Pendit, for the safety of the entire tribe, will definitely agree to the conditions proposed by Tu Feiyuan, and give us and the hunting ground to the Wharton tribe." ”
Wang Ning shook his head: "With such harsh conditions, how can you agree, the hunting ground was given to the Wharton tribe, what should your tribe do?" Also, you two sisters are Pendeit's dearest people, marrying that Tu Feiyuan will ruin your whole life, can Pendit be so ruthless?"
Seeing that Wang Ning didn't believe it, Sara cried urgently: "My father is the chief of the tribe, and at the critical moment, he must sacrifice his personal interests for the benefit of the entire tribe, there is no way." ”
Lilina also said: "That's right, we have lion prey in the rainy season, Injera harvested in the dry season, the hunting ground is given to the Wharton tribe, and the Sandy tribe can also be maintained, so these two conditions, Dad will definitely agree, I don't want to marry that despicable Tu Feiyuan, bald Yuwei, you must find a way to save us." ”
Wang Ning still didn't believe it: "The tribe is fighting for this kind of thing, with heavy casualties and human lives, is it true that the officials don't care?"
Lilina shook her head: "You also heard what Tu Feiyuan said just now, it is because of the official support for the Wharton tribe that they dare to do this, in order to compete for territory in recent years, the Wharton tribe has killed many people from nearby tribes, and they have never seen the official come forward to stop it, so they dare to come to the door unscrupulously and threaten to start a full-scale war." ”
After listening to Lilina's explanation, a cold light flashed in Wang Ning's eyes: "Okay, I'm in charge of this matter, don't worry, I won't let you jump into the fire pit." ”
