Chapter 30 Brother Xi, help me put on a play
Li, the only son of Li, the leader of the Lu tribe, is also the one who is most eager to make the Lu tribe the most powerful tribe in the nearby mountains.
The Lu tribe is located far away from the Dafeng Department, and is isolated by deep mountains and dangerous places. The mountains and wild lands are vast enough to support a new low-level tribe and compete with the Dafeng Department.
Father, as long as we integrate this area and gather more populations, Father can go one step further and enter the mountain-opening realm.
Li's eyes were shining brightly, as if thinking of the future prosperity of the Lu tribe, he couldn't suppress the ambition in his heart more and more.
Compared with the impulse of force, as the head of the clan, Li is more cunning and calculating. He has endured it for many years, and he doesn't care how many more years he endures.
However, the moment now is the best opportunity in several years. The inferior tribes, the Gale and Blackwater tribes, are fighting for the Black Fang Waters in the southeast of the mountains. The two tribes have been fighting for more than a year, and the battle is stalemate. Both sides have consumed a lot of resources and resources. strength.
The cyan crystal salt still has to be given, but not now, but after January.
Father, how can the Black Water Department help us without the cyan crystal salt?
Hearing that Li made a decision, Li became a little anxious.
The cyan crystal salt is gone, but we still have salt mines.
There was a look of coldness in Li Li's eyes, and he continued, As for people, there are plenty of people in the small tribes in the nearby mountains. As long as there are people, I'm afraid they won't be able to dig salt.
Arrests.
Mining salt.
The bonfire in the cave became more and more lively, and the shadows of several people under the firelight danced more and more fiercely, until the laurel rabbit slanted westward, and the morning glow appeared in the eastern sky, and several figures left one after another.
On the second day, under the compliments of the head of the Lu tribe and the elders, Xi left the Lu tribe.
...
Patriarch, the messenger soldiers of the Gale Department did not leave, but headed northeast.
Soon, Li in the Lu tribe got the news.
Li, don't go out to the tribe for now.
Li Li, who was gathering people from the tribe and was about to go to the small tribe to arrest people for salt mining, was directly called to him by Li.
Daddy, what happened?
Li told about Yan's whereabouts, doubts appeared in his eyes.
Since the beast tide a few years ago, the original tribal structure of this mountain was completely destroyed in the beast tide. For some reason, the Dafeng tribe, which had been established for three hundred years, could no longer extend the tribe's power to this vast mountain forest.
The Lu tribe, which was lucky enough not to be wiped out in the beast tide, occupied the salt mine and got in touch with the Gale Department. The tribute between the two parties has been maintained for several years.
The Lu Tribe pays enough salt every year, and the Gale Department tacitly allows them to dominate this mountain.
With ambition in his heart, he was naturally a little more suspicious. He didn't return to the Gale Department immediately after sending the order, which aroused Li's suspicion.
I'll go and see for myself.
After thinking for a moment, Li made a decision to let the rest of the tribe follow. He was a little worried. After returning to his cave, he grabbed a big yellow-brown bow, which was two meters in size.
He carried a basket of arrows on his shoulders. There were only five arrows in the basket, one of which was shining with a blue light, and the curved totem pattern could be vaguely seen. The arrowheads of the remaining four arrow feathers were also made of bronze.
If Xi really found something, he must not be allowed to go back this time.
With the bow and crossbow on his back, he grabbed the stone spear stuck in the corner of the cave with one hand, and the bronze dagger hanging on his waist. Li let out a long breath, then quickly left the tribe and went into the mountain forest.
...
As early as when Xi walked out of the Lu tribe, he was seen by a deer from a distance, and he left and rushed back to the tribe. Xia Tuo, who got the news, went directly into the cave he had prepared.
When Yan arrived outside the Xia tribe, he happened to meet a deer that was about to go hunting.
Meet the adults.
Lu bowed to Xi from afar.
Where is your family head?
After my family head came back, he entered the salt cave to mine salt, and said that he couldn't delay the tribute to the Ministry of Gale.
The deer replied honestly, seeming to have remembered something again, and hurriedly said, I'll go back to the tribe and inform the patriarch.
etc.
Seeing the deer turn around, Xi immediately called to stop him.
I will go back to the tribe with you.
The deer turned his head and glanced at Xun, but found that his expression had not changed at all. He led the way in front, and the moment he turned his head again, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the master's tricks are fatal.
Or patriarch Gao Ming.
...
In the small cave of the tribe, Xia Tuo lowered his head and looked out, waiting for the arrival of Yan, thinking that he, the majestic leader of the clan, was actually acting here, it was not too real.
The patriarch is in that cave, and the snow-white salt is produced from this cave.
Taking the 釖 into the valley where the tribe is located, the deer pointed to a low cave and said.
The patriarch didn't let us do it, because he thought we were clumsy, lest we would dirty the salt and disrespect the superior.
From the moment he entered the valley, he had already seen everything around him. The ground should be planted with potatoes, but the people in the tribe were a bit old, and most of them were young and middle-aged.
The few totem warriors are already the kind of existences whose blood has gone downhill. After the identification, a small tribe like countless small tribes in the wilderness is nothing special.
Patriarch, Master Xi is here.
Xia Tuo, who had been curled up and waiting for a long time, did not come out immediately after hearing the sound of the deer, but stayed for a few breaths, and then came out with a handful of salt mixed with gravel.
The moment he walked out of the cave, he was surprised, and said, Oh, Brother Xi, why did you come here and didn't tell my brother in advance, so what, why don't you hurry up and prepare and bring out the best meat from the tribe.
Looking at Xia Tuo, who was in a mess, holding salt in his hand, and looking surprised, he nodded unobservably.
Let's go, Brother Xi, go to my cave.
Holding Yan's beast robe, Xia Tuo walked towards his own cave, and said, I made big brother laugh, small tribe, it's not as good as a strong wind.
...
In the cave.
You are the head of the clan, why do you need to do it yourself?
Sitting next to the bonfire, Yan said, Let the clansmen do these things.
Hearing this, Xia Tuoxin said, isn't this nonsense, can I do it myself if you don't come.
The next moment, Xi saw Xia Tuo with a wry smile on his face and said to him
Brother Xi is in a big tribe and doesn't know the sufferings of my small tribe. He is on the verge of starvation every day, living a precarious life. Wherever there is a goal in his heart, he just muddle along. Day by day, the patriarch of a small tribe is not easy to be. what.
After all, Xia Tuo shook his head again and again.
Brother Xi, my younger brother has something to ask for.
At the moment when he was stunned, Xia Tuo's voice rang directly beside his ears, and at the same time, the deer standing outside the cave came with a stone pot in his arms.
Before he could make a sound, his voice sounded again, saying: Brother Yan, this is sand salt that has just been mined, and the gravel in it has not been sorted out yet.
Xia Tuo directly pushed the stone pot in front of Xie.
Xie looked into the stone pot, his expression turned a bit, there was about half of the pot, and the gravel in it could be clearly seen, but they were very small.
Even so, Xi still felt his heart beating violently.
really really...
Brother is not for this jar of salt, but for a person like you.
Good brother...I know you are for the salt...oh no, for our brothers.
...
Don't be ashamed of the Xia tribe, if you can't complete the tribute, don't blame me for being rude!
One thousand wild animal skins per year, one hundred cracked stone realm animal skins!
Add thirty ounces of sand and salt, and your Xia tribe will be wiped out with just a little less!
The sound of shouting came from the cave, and soon spread throughout the entire tribe. The sudden change shocked the entire valley.
what happened?
what's going on?
All the clansmen gathered around and looked towards the cave where Xia Tuo was.
Every year, one thousand pieces of wild animal skins, one hundred pieces of animal skins in the cracked stone realm, and thirty jun of salt are offered!
This is to kill them!
The Dafeng tribe, a low-rank tribe that has entered the ranks, is a powerful tribe with totem warriors in the mountain realm.
From the day the patriarch returned, the legend of the Gale Department had spread throughout the tribe. It turned out that the area they lived in was within the sphere of influence of the Gale Department.
All tribes have to make offerings to the Ministry of Gale.
However, this is too cruel!
This is no way for people to live.
For every member of the Xia tribe, they have just lived a few days with surplus food in their hands. Could it be said that this is the end?
How can a small, uninfluential tribe still want to resist? My Gale Department raises our hands and wipes you out.
Outside the cave, all the members of the Xia tribe huddled together, and when they saw Xun whose back was facing them, they all gritted their teeth, wishing they could pounce on him and bite him.
He also saw the patriarch Tuo who was facing them, his whole body bursting with breath, his face flushed, he wanted to make a move but suppressed himself.
what……
This scene completely aroused the anger of the tribe, and turned his head to look at the Xia tribe at the entrance of the cave, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Why, if you want to kill me, you don't think about whether you have the ability.
Ah... I'm going to kill you!
Finally, some clansmen couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Xi.
don't want!
Xia Tuo rushed forward and blocked everyone.
Patriarch.
The patriarch asked me to fight, I would rather fight to the death.
Ahhh!
Too much deceit!
...
Let him go!
Gritting his teeth tightly, Xia Tuo suppressed the tribesmen who were about to move.
The corner of Xi's mouth curled up, looked at everyone and said, Your tribe in a remote place, this is your fate, accept your fate.
Patriarch Xia, remember your tribute, otherwise the whole clan will be wiped out when the strong wind comes.
Ha ha……
The imposing manner on Xie's body was like a torrent, and the crimson totem divine pattern erupted, rolling up an invisible wave of air, pushing away the crowd of the Xia tribe, laughing and heading out of the valley.
Walking out of the Xia Tribe, Xi couldn't help shivering. The enthusiasm of the Xia Tribe frightened him too. It's no fun to piss off a group of people.
After the matter is completed, there will be half a jar of snow-white table salt as a gift.
After leaving the Xia Tribe far away, Yan still looked back with lingering fear, but recalled Xia Tuo's promise in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No, the acting is so good, you have to add salt.
