Yan Mo hurriedly took Jiufeng into his hands and asked where it saw Meng.
Jiufeng made a gurgling sound from his throat, as if he was very happy to see him being hung up suddenly.
"You didn't rescue him smoothly?" Yan Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Jiufeng let out a strange laugh like a human being, "Jie Jie!"
"Where is he? Is it far from here?"
"Gulu Gulu, by the small lake on the other side of the mountain."
"Mountain? You mean the mountain where we stayed before?" Yan Mo would mention that mountain, because that mountain is the highest within a hundred miles nearby.
"Jie! No!" Jiu Feng couldn't explain clearly, turned his head and sprayed a wind arrow towards the east, "Over there!"
"is it far?"
"Not far."
Yan Mo guessed that this distance might not be close. Jiufeng said it was not far, but it was based on its flying speed. If he walked on two legs, he didn't know how far he would go.
"Jiufeng, can I ask you for a favor? Bring Meng back?"
Jiu Feng jumped on Yan Mo's palm a few times, and then let out a strange laugh, "Jie Jie!"
"Jiufeng?" Yan Mo felt that Jiufeng's attitude was too strange.
Jiufeng flew to his shoulder, whispering, "Momo, there is a very powerful big guy over there."
Yan Mo was startled, Jiufeng said that the big guy is powerful, how powerful and how big is that
"You can't beat it?"
"Jie!" Jiu Feng was furious, and his little wings slapped Yan Mo's head, causing Yan Mo's hair to stand up on one side.
"It's powerful, but it can't fly into the sky! I'm not afraid of it!"
It turned out that Jiufeng was a little afraid of it... Yan Mo silently raised his hand to push down the raised hair.
Jiu Feng was probably angry, but still felt that he had lost face in front of his pet? Flying over his head was a burst of scratching.
With a dull face, Yan Mo took out a fried hazelnut from his pocket, peeled off the shell, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yuan Zhan is funny, in the entire Jiuyuan, probably only Jiufeng can bully Mo, and Mo still has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's not impossible, but reluctant, right
Yuan Zhan felt uncomfortable again, and Mo Ke never said that he was reluctant to attack him!
"Did Jiufeng see it fierce?"
"Ok."
"Something went wrong?"
"They said they were hung up."
"do you died?"
"It seems to be alive. I asked Jiufeng to help rescue him, but Jiufeng seemed to have scruples about catching the fierce one. He said that he was a powerful big guy, but he couldn't fly."
Yuan Zhan folded his arms, "Isn't Morgan Gan?"
"Probably not. If Morgan had caught Meng, Qi Yuan wouldn't be unresponsive when he saw us today."
"Looks like we're wrapping up our trip to the market."
Yan Mo didn't object, "I'll try to get Jiufeng to take you there in the evening, see if you can rescue Meng, it would be best if you can, if not, we'll find a way when you come back."
Although Yuan Zhan was worried, this was the only way he could do it at the moment.
Yan Mo patted him on the shoulder to signal that he didn't have to worry too much. Although Jiufeng was a bit naughty, he still cared about the "pets of pets" it recognized. If Meng was really about to die, Jiufeng would definitely It won't be so calm, even if it doesn't care about Meng's life and death, it will be very angry.
Mogan and his party came out of the tent together with the Dingyue people. The Dingyue people felt uncomfortable when they saw Jiuyuan standing on the side of the road, and walked over without saying hello.
Morgan built a new tent for them at the end of the second row for them to rest.
Qi Yuan led Mo Gan and his party to Yan Mo's side, and nodded to them.
Elder Mogan wanted to ask him how to use the guibiao, etc. Yan Mo also coveted that guibiao, he always felt that the guibiao was not simple, and maybe his speculations were all wrong.
"I've seen something similar to this one before, but that one has been damaged, and this one looks like a model, but..." Yan Mo said halfway and refused to continue.
Elder Mogan and Qi Yuan looked at each other and hurriedly asked, "But what?"
Yan Mo only pointed to the pattern on the watch, and said solemnly: "I know this pattern, it is used by witches... I think you should show it to your priest first."
Elder Mogan frowned, and Qi Yuan made a calm gesture to him, indicating that Yan Mo and the others had something to say.
Several people stepped aside. Iroha didn't seem qualified to participate in this conversation, so he led people to stand outside, blocking a quiet space for them with a human wall.
Qi Yuan cut to the chase: "The people from Ding Yue just proposed to me that if you are willing to tell them the whereabouts of the mermaid tribe, they are willing to exchange the remaining two bone tools."
"Is the bone vessel here with you?"
"Yes, in the tent just now."
Yan Mo was silent for a while, as if he was in a dilemma.
Qi Yuan's eyes involuntarily slid to the top of his head, without him, it was the bird with the human face that was so eye-catching!
Jiufeng spat out the wind blade at him with a "poof".
Qi Yuan changed color, but luckily Jiu Fengzhi didn't hurt him, the wind blade passed over his head, cutting off a few hairs.
Qi Yuan guessed the relationship between this little human-faced bird and the big human-faced bird he saw in Jiuyuan, and wondered how many such powerful aggressive birds there are in Jiuyuan.
"You have been to our Jiuyuan, and you have also done business with us. Compared with the Dingyue tribe in the lower reaches of the river, I have some friendship with you." Yan Mo said.
Qi Yuan and Elder Morgan looked at him together.
Yan Mo hesitated, "I don't want to speak ill of the Dingyue tribe, but they have absolutely no good intentions."
"Why do you say that?" Qi Yuan is not an idiot, he will be moved by a few words.
"Those four bone vessels." Yan Mo's face straightened, "If it were you guys who found a place of relics and found some treasures from it, even if you didn't understand their uses, you would exchange those treasures of relics Is it? Even if the things they want to exchange are more valuable to them, they are not afraid of losing them all the way from the lower reaches of the river to this place?"
"Do you suspect that those four bone vessels are not treasures of relics?"
Yan Mo shook his head, "No, I don't know. But those four bone vessels give me a strange feeling..."
Yan Mo looked at Elder Mogan, his gaze fell on Guibiao in his arms, and he said, "Have you ever heard of cursing bone vessels?"
The expressions of Qi Yuan and elder Mogan changed. There is no one who does not hate curses, and no one does not know how terrible curses are!
Yan Mo pointed to the patterns on the Guibiao, "Have you found more or less such patterns on the other three bone vessels?"
The two thought about it, and it was true.
"Why didn't you say that in the tent just now?" Elder Morgan reprimanded slightly.
Yuan Zhan snorted coldly.
Elder Mogan immediately restrained all dissatisfaction.
Yan Mo smiled wryly, "Would you believe me when I told you? Some people might think that I deliberately wanted to deal with the Dingyue tribe. At that time, Dingyue and us were about to fight, and I had already stated several times that Dingyue's purpose was not pure. , but how many of you believe it?"
"Then the watch doesn't tell the time as you say?"
"No, it should have the function of indicating the time. I haven't used it before, and I'm not sure about it."
"But it is a bone tool for curse!"
"I didn't say that." Yan Mo denied it.
"Yes, you're just skeptical, and you don't want the bone artifacts delivered to your door." Elder Mogan said slightly, how happy he was before, but how indignant he was now, and the bone artifacts he held in his arms made him feel Very hot.
"I just think that the purpose of the Dingyue tribe is not pure, and they don't want to betray my friends from the mermaid tribe!" The boy's tone of voice and expression were as upright as he wanted.
"You also chose the bone stick, aren't you afraid that it is also a cursed bone tool?" Qi Yuan was still a little suspicious.
"I'm curious. Besides, it's only worth twenty female slaves. I don't intend to bring this bone stick back to Jiuyuan."
"You know bone tools? Are you also a bone tooler?" Qi Yuan speculated boldly.
Yan Mo didn't answer.
"Then you've confirmed that you don't want the remaining two bone vessels?"
Yan Mo shook his head, but the hand behind his back made a gesture to Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan pressed the young man's shoulder, "Why not? Tell Ding Yue's people that it's still the previous condition. We invite mermaids to meet them. The price is two bone tools. They can exchange them if they want to, and forget it if they don't."
Yan Mo looked back at him disapprovingly.
Yuan Zhan, "Bring over the bone vessels and find a place to see what they are for. If they fall into our hands, they can be destroyed if there is any problem. If they are placed with Ding Yue, they will secretly bring those things into the river." What about upstream?"
Yan Mo frowned tightly.
"Be obedient." Yuan Zhan rubbed the back of his head with his big hands, and was pecked back by Jiu Feng.
The boy reluctantly agreed.
Elder Mogan kept winking at Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan held him down to show that he understood what he meant.
"Cough, actually... Ding Yue's people also said that if you really don't want to reveal the whereabouts of the mermaids, they are willing to accept your suggestion, that is, you invite the mermaids to meet them, and they use the remaining two bones device for exchange."
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo glared at him together.
Qi Yuan sneered, "After all, they are the guests brought back by my brother. I... Cough, by the way, you have set your sights on another batch of slaves? How much? Less than a hundred second-level war slaves, even if I give them to you .Of course, I will follow what I said before, and send all the slaves you ordered to the big river mouth last time."
Yan Mo stretched out his hand to swipe at the slaves who showed up angrily, "I don't know how many there are, anyway, I want all the slaves you brought out today, whether male, female, old or young, healthy or not!"
Qi Yuan and Elder Moergan opened their mouths wide, "...you want so much?!"
"right!"
If it wasn't for the fact that Jiuyuan was in the upper reaches of the river, far away from Morgan, and what they bought last time were female slaves and children, Qi Yuan wouldn't have dared to make this deal.
"The slaves brought out this time are all well-trained. Most of them are war slaves, and the highest level has reached level four. The price last time is definitely not good." All the embarrassment and so on were left behind.
Yan Mo slapped Yuan Zhan, this cunning and greedy hand over to you.
Yuan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "I heard that you call red salt blood salt? Even the Yellow Crystal Tribe and the Snake People Tribe didn't get much? Maybe we should just take out the red salt and exchange slaves with other tribes, Mr. Qi Yuan, dont you agree?"
"Ahaha, if you agree to only trade red salt with us, Morgan, I can just give you all these slaves."
"The same amount of red salt as last time was exchanged for these slaves. I promise you that we will not take out any more red salt in this market."
Qi Yuan didn't expect Jiuyuan to only trade red salt with them, Jiuyuan is not a bully Yanshan tribe. But he really couldn't accept the price Yuan Zhan raised, "Three times. This is the lowest price."
Yan Mo's ears twitched, it turned out that Morgan already had the concept of times? Did it come from the Three Cities? Has the mathematical system of the three cities already begun to be established
Yuan Zhan shook his head, "At most we can add another boat, we don't have that much refined red salt."
Qi Yuan was very patient, "We can ship again in autumn, and we will pick you up to participate in the autumn trading fair."
"Do you think we have to have your slaves?" Yuan Zhan's face was indifferent and unhappy, he seemed to be trying to suppress his anger, he turned around and grabbed Yan Mo's shoulders, "Let's go, let's go and see the slaves of other tribes first .”
Yan Mo really left with Yuan Zhan.
Qi Yuan didn't know whether the other party was really angry or just pretending, he wanted to hang him up again, but the elder beside him gave him a hasty look.
"Elder Five Colors, what are you in a hurry for? There are still many days left for the market, so we are not in a hurry to wait any longer."
"Wait? What about this bone vessel?"
"Bring it back to the priest to see?"
"What if this is really a cursed bone vessel? Can you show it to the priest?"
Of course Qi Yuan didn't want to. There is not much benefit if this kind of thing is done well, but if it makes the priest unhappy, there must be a lot of disadvantages.
At this time, Caiyu also stepped forward and said: "Sir, what should we do with these slaves? Should we send them to the riverside first?"
Qi Yuan waved his hand, "No rush."
"But..." Iroha hesitated, "If we continue to stay here, if there are other tribes who want to trade, what should we do?"
"Stay for a day."
"yes."
A day is long and can have countless variations.
And Qi Yuan heard a lot of things about Jiuyuan in only half an afternoon.
"My lord, the people from Jiuyuan bought all the remaining bones from the envoys from the three cities!"
In this way, Qi Yuan is even more sure that the bone tool master of Jiuyuan may be the young man he suspects to be the priest of Jiuyuan.
"My lord, Jiuyuan exchanged a lot of spar coins with the Huangjing tribe with that strange thing called shoes wrapped around their feet!"
Qi Yuan was also very interested in the shoes on their feet, and immediately asked someone to change some as well.
"My lord, Jiuyuan replaced a lot of herbs with the ointment and powder they made."
This is nothing unusual.
"My lord, people from the Bianxi tribe have gone to Jiuyuan, but we don't know what they said, and the slaves inside haven't heard anything!"
Qi Yuan raised his head abruptly. The Bianxi tribe is different from other tribes in that they have strong fighting power and attach great importance to their tribe. Because Mogan had hunted the children of the Bianxi tribe as slaves before, their relationship with the Bianxi tribe has always been bad. But because the Bianxi tribe doesn't like contact with other tribes, although they are powerful, they are very independent, and Mogan doesn't have to be too wary of them, but if they find a more powerful ally...
"My lord! Terrible! Jiuyuan used cloth to exchange all the slaves brought by other tribes in the market!"
Qi Yuan stood up suddenly, he couldn't sit still. As he walked out, he thought: sometimes it is necessary to make appropriate concessions, at least before they really hold on to Jiuyuan.
In the evening, Yan Mo sat on the ground on the second floor, looked at the four bone vessels lined up in front of him, and smiled.
Qi Yuan just came to his door, and at the cost of one and a half times the amount of red salt in the previous transaction, plus asking him to help verify whether Guibiao is really a cursed bone vessel, he gave him a total of 1,206 slaves, and he also gave him free gifts. to the upper mouth of the great river.
And he agreed to invite the mermaid to see the Dingyue people. Originally, the mermaid arrived to exchange for the remaining two bone vessels, but Qi Yuan probably didn't want to continue to store the suspected cursed bone vessels with him, so he simply pretended to be someone else. Thanks to his generosity, he also sent the remaining two bone vessels.
Of course, everyone agreed that when Jiuyuan left, he had to keep three of the bone vessels. Only when the mermaid met with the Dingyue man could the disc and fish bones be handed over to Jiuyuan.
Yuan Zhan was worried about him, and asked him to inspect the bone artifacts after he came back.
Yan Mo agreed, put the four bone utensils into his pocket, and first went to see the newly bought slaves.
