Gu Lou explained to Wan Peng with some apologies that there might be something in the tribe and he couldn't continue to accompany him here.

Wan Peng didn't say anything first, but turned his head to look at Xie Ting, obviously asking for Xie Ting's opinion. Xie Ting's emotions have calmed down a lot now, and she sighed lightly and said, "The things here, that's all, what should be collected has been collected, and I will look for clues about what happened behind the scenes, but it doesn't have to be limited to this cave." What's more, now that the magic vine has been removed, we have the time and opportunity to come here at any time. So, why don't we go back together? ”

Wan Peng didn't say anything, but turned to Gu Lou again, "Let's go." ”

Several people came out of the cave together, and when they came, they had already walked through it once, and after clearing some basic obstacles, there should be no problem flying in the air. Wan Peng took out a flying blanket, and several people went up together, and returned to the tribe smoothly along a height of more than ten feet above the ground.

Entering the tribal range, from the outside, it seems that nothing has happened, and people's lives are still as usual, and there is no abnormality in the slightest.

However, Gu Lou was clearly worried. After entering the tribe, everyone else dispersed, leaving only Gu Lou and Wan Peng Xie Ting still together. Wan Peng wanted to propose that Gu Lou could go to the tribe's affairs first, but Gu Lou spoke first, "Brother Wan, you are now one of the more convincing people in our tribe, why don't you go with Miss Xie and follow me to see the Gu Li patriarch." I think something is going to happen. ”

Wan Peng hesitated a little in his heart, "This is a tribal matter, I'm afraid it's not good......

Gu Lou shook his head, "I have also communicated privately with Patriarch Gu Li, about your and Miss Xie's personalities, as well as your personal abilities. We feel that you can fit in with us. So, you don't have to prevaricate. ”

Wan Peng thought about it for a while, but still agreed to Gu Lou. After all, if you want to go to the Red Lian Country from here, if you have the help of the tribe, you will definitely save a lot of effort, and this premise is that the tribe believes in itself to the extreme.

At the same time, with his personality, he also did not want to owe himself anything to the tribe. Therefore, if it is a tribal matter, he can help a little, and it can be regarded as an equal deal.

The Gul Patriarch was seated in the council chamber, and there were already some people from the tribe who belonged to the upper echelons. After Gu Lou entered, he walked straight to the center of the hall, while Wan Peng and Xie Ting found the outermost place to sit down. The Gul Patriarch seemed to be waiting for Gu Lou to come back, and then he spoke, "Everyone has arrived." Brother Wan Peng and Miss Xie are also here, and they can also give us some advice. ”

He took out a jade slip, and after driving it, he threw a light curtain.

This is the format of an administrative document, and the top title is, "Conscription Call", and the following content probably says that due to the extreme expansion of the current gang forces, Chi Lianguo decided to crack down on them, and now collects troops from the whole region. The quota assigned to the tribe is eighteen people, and they are limited to report to Chilian Country before the fifteenth day of this month.

After everyone had finished reading it, Patriarch Guli sighed lightly and said, "Chi Lianguo's move is quite selfish. First, to crack down on gangs, Chi Lianguo's own army alone is enough to have a certain advantage, and there is no need for such a global conscription. The reason why he did this was mostly to preserve his strength and weaken the strength of the native and the cultivator battalion. Second, it is said that the number of places they give to each tribe is different, and it is directly related to the number of tribesmen. ”

Patriarch Guli glanced down, and then said, "Eighteen people, if our tribe sends our elites, it's not impossible, but in that case, the younger generation will definitely have no succession. And if the fighting quality of the personnel we sent is not strong, and some ordinary people are replaced, they will inevitably be injured in the battle with the gangs, which emotionally, the people of our tribe will not agree. So, choosing people is a big problem. ”

The people below all agreed with the patriarch's analysis, and after a while, Gu Lou spoke, "Patriarch, what if we don't send people out?"

Patriarch Guli smiled bitterly, "It will be slaughtered in the name of rebellion." Unlike the previous large-scale spreading, this time the order was sent directly to me. In other words, Chi Lianguo knows where we are now. If we don't send people to join the army, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the army of Chilian will arrive. ”

After Guree said this, the people fell silent again.

Gu Lou was also silent for a while, and then raised his head again, "Patriarch, I ask for orders." ”

Patriarch Guli smiled bitterly, "You ask for your order to go, I know very well what you want to do to protect your clansmen." But one thing is, what if you're gone, what will happen to the tribe? If the tribe is really in trouble, or if it's a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain, how are we going to deal with it?"

Gu Lou frowned at this time, "However, this is not advance, nor is it retreat, so what is good?"

The Gul Patriarch sighed, "It's really not good, let's choose people from the tribal rankings according to odd and even numbers." Those who are odd will stay, and those who are even will send eighteen people to enlist. In this way, the strength of the two sides can be balanced. At the same time, in this way, Gu Lou, your command ability is the strongest, stay in the tribe, if there is anything, the tribe also has something to rely on. ”

There was a hint of hesitation on Gu Lou's face, in a sense, he was still eager to apply. First, the young man has the urge to go outside, and second, as the successor manager of the tribe, he has a sense of responsibility to protect the recruits.

However, Gu Lou still has a sense of the overall situation. Since the patriarch arranged it this way, he would not refute it. I also consulted the opinions of other administrators, and most of them were quite supportive of the patriarch's decision. The decision was made, and the patriarch ordered everyone to assemble in the square to make an announcement on the matter.

The ranking of the tribes themselves is based on a comprehensive test at the beginning of each year, and is open to everyone over the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty. It was for many years that Gu Lou maintained the first place in this ranking and obtained the status of the successor patriarch designate.

Eighteen people, named one by one, were lined up in a line. is different from Gu Lou's calmness after encountering the incident, among these people, some are obviously ecstatic, while some are melancholy, and even shed tears, causing their family members to cry and cry, in the eyes of Wan Peng and Xie Ting, they are also a little uncomfortable.

However, the patriarch is the absolute authority in the tribe. Although some people have cried with their parents, no one has raised any objections.

Wan Peng turned to Xie Ting, as if he wanted to say something. However, Xie Ting seemed to have known Wan Peng's thoughts for a long time, and before he could speak, he had already nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Wan Peng shook Xie Ting's hand tightly, turned around, and walked in front of the patriarch, "Patriarch Guli." I have an idea. ”

Patriarch Guli seemed to be a little puzzled by Wan Peng's sudden stand-up, and was slightly stunned, and then replied, "Brother Wan, say it." ”

Wan Peng nodded, "Well, thank you, Patriarch." To tell you the truth, Xie Ting and I are not here for the tribe, because we don't have any purpose in the first place, or rather, we have a purpose, but we don't know where to start. But, by chance, we met the tribe. In the tribe, we received a lot of useful information, as well as the hospitality of the tribe and the warmth of the people. So, the two of us are deeply grateful. Now, the tribe has received a conscription order, and from many levels, it is a dilemma, so the two of us hope to replace two people in the tribe and go to the Chilian country on our behalf. ”

A complicated look flashed in the eyes of the Gul Patriarch, both a little surprise and some admiration. However, he didn't accept it immediately, but just said, "Brother Wanpeng, we understand your heart. Since you arrived in the Tribe, you have helped us remove the threat of the Rotten Flower, which is already a gift to the Tribe. It's just that there are still many uncertain factors in the follow-up of this recruitment, and there must be too many dangers in the battle at that time, and our tribe can't let you and Miss Xie take this risk. ”

Wan Peng seemed to expect the patriarch to say this, and smiled faintly, "The patriarch cares, we understand it." However, as I said earlier, on the one hand, the two of us applied for the draft and did some more favors to the tribe, and on the other hand, in fact, we were also interested in going to the country of Chilian. If you go in the name of recruitment, it will be safer for us two outsiders than to go by yourself. So, please don't shirk it anymore for the patriarch. ”

"This ......" Patriarch Gu Li was obviously a little embarrassed at this time, thought for a moment, and turned to the eighteen candidates on the field, "Among the eighteen of you, can anyone give up going?" If so, quickly stand up, since Brother Wanpeng and Miss Xie are going to Chilian Country, you can stay." ”

However, to Wan Peng's surprise, although there were still people crying just now, no one stood up. Patriarch Gu Li was also a little surprised, and finally couldn't help but ask the one who cried the most, a young man who looked like he should be very young, "Gu Dingyu, you just cried so much, why don't you stand up now?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Dingyu wiped away a handful of tears, "Patriarch, I cried because I was afraid that no one would take care of my parents, not that I didn't want to go." No matter what time it is, Gu Dingyu will be honored to fight for the tribe!"

Although the child is young, when he says this, he is like a thousand words, and a pride arises spontaneously from his words. Wan Peng couldn't help but secretly admire, it seems that the cohesion of this tribe is still very high.

Patriarch Guli couldn't help but nodded, and then sighed lightly. He turned to Wan Peng, "Brother Wan, you see, this is a common decision within our clan, but now, no one wants to give up this position. The starting point of these people is also very clear, and they are proud to fight for the tribe. ”

Wan Peng smiled faintly again, "Patriarch, I can understand their feelings. Since they don't want to give up, how about asking the patriarch to agree to my small request?"

The Gul patriarch knew that Wan Peng was going to insist on going, and this so-called small request was probably Wan Peng's means. However, Wan Peng was kind to the tribe, and he had to agree to this small request. "Brother Wan, you say. ”
