"What's the matter? Tell me." Yan Mo watched Yuan Zhan move to his side, and naturally leaned on him.
Maybe it was really important. He sat down on the ground suddenly, his expression became a lot more serious, "I came back that day, Da Zhan saw that Tian Wu didn't come, so he asked me to go around Moore's place. If I can enter that cave Best, keep an eye on that priest's movement."
"What did you find in that cave?"
Shaking his head violently, "The cave is not easy to enter. People are watching it day and night. It is probably the place where they train fighters. It may be very big inside, or there is another more secret passage leading to the outside. I will pay attention to it." However, the same group of fighters went in and came out two or three days later. Some of them hadn’t seen anyone come out until now, and the fighters who came out looked very tired, as if they had fought hard with someone. But this Not something more important than what I wanted to say."
Hearing this description, Yuan Zhan somehow thought of the ruins that Yu Wuzhi gave him for warrior training.
Could the cave be a similar place
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan didn't speak, they both looked fiercely.
Pointing at the neighbor, "You must not have imagined what I heard near that cave this afternoon."
Yan Mo sat up straight, "Is it related to the Yanshan tribe?"
Nodding sharply, "I saw Qi Hao coming to look for that priest. That priest would often go to the entrance of the cave to heal the wounded soldiers who came out of the cave. I saw that they seemed to have something important to say, so I followed them secretly. They probably I didn’t expect that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation, and the camouflage clothes made by Mo Rang out of branches and grass leaves are very effective, and they didn’t notice when I was very close.”
Looking at Yan Mo suddenly, the matter involved the priest's clan, and he couldn't help being a little cautious when he spoke, "That Qi Hao told their priest that an elder from the Yanshan clan came to him, saying that our Jiuyuan wanted to find more Yan, you want to take the Yanshan people away from Morgan, and you said you agreed with yourself."
Yan Mo frowned.
Yuan Zhan snorted coldly, "Then what plans do they have for the Yanshan tribe and us?"
Meng looked at Yan Mo again, "They said that the priests of the Yanshan tribe were cunning, and they said they would find more salt for them, but they kept thinking of running away, and keeping it was useless. Qi Hao told the priest that he Let the warrior leaders under his command lead a group of soldiers to attack the Yanshan tribe, kill the Yanshan tribe's chief and priests, and only leave the Yanshan tribe as their slaves for digging and making salt."
Yan Mo immediately asked, "Have they already set off?"
"No, that Qi Hao said that the soldiers should be sent out early the next morning, as long as the group of Yanshan people return before they return."
"What about our Jiuyuan? How are they going to deal with us?" Yuan Zhan asked.
Meng looked at Jiufeng this time, "What they said later may have something to do with what Lord Jiufeng said to Mo Da. Then Qi Hao said that our Jiuyuan was not kind, and that our slaves even stole their god fish. He didn't respect Moergan very much, saying that after a long time, our Jiuyuan will become the enemy of Moergan. That Qi Hao wanted to bring the water god Tianwu here, because we colluded with the Yanshan tribe and wanted to steal their salt mountain As an excuse, kill us!"
Yan Mo, "The priest agreed?"
"He didn't agree at first, but that Qi Hao said that our Jiuyuan has better red salt, so it's better to kill us, and they will directly occupy Jiuyuan's territory."
"Aren't they afraid that we are really related to the upper city of the Three Cities?" Yan Mo was surprised. He actually knew very well how Mogan and other tribes guessed his details in their hearts.
He pulled his lips violently, "The priest was also worried about this, and he was afraid of offending other tribes, so he told that Qi Hao not to bring the water god to fight in the market and crowded places. They wanted to wait for the market. The episode is over, wait for us to leave Morgan and kill us on the way!"
Yan Mo didn't expect that there would be a traitor from the Yanshan tribe, and he was an elder, probably neither would the Yanshan tribe.
Yuan Zhan stood up from the bed, grabbed the clothes and tied them on his body, and said decisively: "Mo, you pack all the useful things. We can't wait for them to get ready. We will go to the river to gather those slaves now before it gets dark." , leave in a while!"
If there were only a few of them, he wasn't very worried, and Jiufeng could take them away directly.
But they just bought 1,500 slaves, and they couldn't ignore the Yanshan people.
Yan Mo cursed secretly, this is all right, the free boat is no longer needed, with so many people, they might have to walk back to Jiuyuan on two feet, and how many people will be lost on the way! It also messed up all his plans.
"Wait." Yan Mo grabbed Yuan Zhan's calf, "Meng, you and Dahe go to the Yanshan tribe next door and tell Hei Qi about this. Do you know Hei Qi? If you don't, just say it's me." Let you go, then ask who their elder is, and control that elder first! It's best to do it in the tent, so that no one can see it. Jiufeng also asks you to do a favor."
Jiufeng thought it was fun, jumped on Meng's head, and agreed.
Yan Mo raised his head again and said to Yuan Zhan: "You and I will go to the Snake People, Bianxi, and Tuya tribes."
Yuan Strategy thought about it for a while, "No, there are quite a few Yanshan tribesmen, only Meng and Dahe can pass by, and they may not be able to control them. Jiufeng makes a move, and there is a lot of movement. I'll go, you wait for me."
"Then I'll go with you." To convince Hei Qi, he might have to rely on his face.
The Yanshan people next door are preparing food for the evening. It’s not dark yet, but everyone starts preparing very early, especially for the tribe that only eats two meals a day. This meal at night is very important, and they will try to eat as much as possible. I don't want to go to bed hungry. There is no health preservation at this time.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo came over, Da Da followed behind them.
Meng and Jiufeng left secretly again to spy on the actions of Moergan, Qi Hao and others.
Dahe and Ding Fei pretended to deliver things to the slaves, and carried a few large parcels to the open land on the other side of Dahe.
Hei Qi was surprised when he saw the two people coming, he hurriedly handed over the matter to another person, got up and greeted them.
Qingze crushed the salt block with a stone, did not dare to raise his head, only looked at the two of them secretly from the corner of his eyes, and secretly guessed the reason for their visit.
"Hei Qi, I have something important to tell you. Apart from you, who else is in charge here?" Yan Mo said immediately.
Hei Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could the young priest's special visit be related to his younger brother? Is he really...
"This is the elder who came out this time, Qing Ze." Hei Qi hastily called out to Qing Ze.
Qingze sighed in his heart, dropped the salt block and stood up slowly on his knees, and slowly walked over, he was really scared of being beaten, and he had run away enough, now he just wants to live a comfortable life, even if Work hard, it will be fine in the end, wait for the clan to find a way to make better salt...
Young people just can't bear hardships and love to make troubles, and they don't want to see if the whole Yanshan tribe can still be tossed, alas!
"It's hard to talk outside, let's go into the tent." Yan Mo suggested.
Yuan Zhan turned his eyes slightly, and found that there were slaves of Morgan on the side of the road looking at this way intentionally or unintentionally, and some people were walking this way, even among the slaves of the Yanshan tribe, there were one or two erected. ears.
Seeing their serious expressions, Hei Qi didn't say much, and directly pulled Qing Ze into the tent together. Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo followed.
After Da Da and the others went in, Tota Heavenly King stood at the entrance of the tent, arms crossed, glaring at anyone who dared to get close, and the ferocious person who was so frightened that he wanted to get close just stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Yan Mo turned to Hei Qi and said, "Except for you two, let a few more people come in. It's best if they are able to take care of things. What I'm going to say later is very important, and it's about you guys." The Yanshan tribe lives and dies."
Hei Qi and Qing Ze's expressions changed at the same time.
Qing Ze immediately said: "This is not good, we haven't gone back and told the patriarch and priest about what you discussed with Hei Qi, so I will tell everyone now, if the Morgans know..."
Yan Mo looked at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "The Morgans already know about it."
Qing Ze shook his body, as if he was very surprised, "Did you tell the Morgans?"
Yuan Zhan sneered, and looked down at him with his tall stature, "Are you the only elder who came out this time?"
Qingze didn't answer, Hei Qi looked at Qingze, then at Yuan Zhan and the two, and replied in surprise: "Yes, Uncle Qingze is the only elder who came out this time."
"Hei Qi, go out and call a few more people in, don't call slaves, and calm down, don't arouse others' suspicion. Understand?" Yan Mo ordered directly.
Hei Qi once again overturned the speculation that "the other party might be his younger brother Hei Qiao". How could such a domineering person be his stupid younger brother.
Just as Hei Qi was about to turn around and leave, Qing Ze immediately yelled: "Hei Qi!"
As soon as Yuan Zhan grabbed his neck, Qing Ze felt as if there was some sand in his throat, not only was it blocked so that he could not speak a word, but he was also coughing incessantly, wanting to spit out the sand in his throat.
"Uncle Qingze!" Hei Qi worried about the middle-aged man, and wanted to come back again.
Yan Mo's face darkened, "Hurry up! There is not so much time for you to dawdle, the more you delay, the more likely your people will be killed and become slaves!"
Hei Qi thought for a while, if the Jiuyuan people really wanted to harm them, not to mention only a few of them, even the entire Yanshan tribe here, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop others from doing it, so I didn't dare to waste any more time, bypassing the answer Just ran out.
After a while, Hei Qi brought back four people, most of whom were around his age, and the oldest one seemed to be in his early thirties.
He refused to give way, and forced people to squeeze past him. Everyone passed by, and he had to smell it, as if he was remembering the smell of that person.
Several people looked sideways at each other, but there was nothing they could do about him.
"Elder Qingze, what's the matter?" Someone immediately asked when he came in and noticed something strange in the tent, and glared at Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo with unkind eyes.
Qing Ze panted heavily, covered his throat with one hand, pointed at Yan Mo and the other with the other, he meant to drive them away, but Hei Qi came over and held his hand.
The middle-aged man in his thirties looked around the tent and asked in a calm voice, "Can you explain what's going on here? Hei Qi said that you have something very important to say, what is it?" ?”
Yuan Zhan turned his gaze to the middle-aged man, who had tattoos on his face and was a third-level fighter.
"Are you the warrior leader?"
"Yes, I'm Qinglu, the leader of the warriors leading the market this time." Qinglu raised his head, he was slightly shorter than the original strategy, and his momentum was not bad, at least he could speak calmly in front of the original battle.
He looked familiar to Yuan Zhan, but he hadn't been to the market to trade much before, and he didn't recognize Yuan Zhan as the original Yuanji.
Yuan Zhan faced him and opened his mouth: "I am the leader of Jiuyuan, and this is our priest of Jiuyuan. I will only say what I am going to say next. Listen carefully."
The people in the tent basically knew the identities of the two of them, and they didn't say anything after hearing the words. They still don't know what happened.
Yuan Zhan's voice was clear: "Heiqi, your clansman, came to us and asked Jiuyuan for help. Our priests were kind-hearted and agreed. But traitors appeared in your own clansman. Our scouts heard it with our own eyes and ears, and you The elders of Mogan informed Qi Hao of Mogan, saying that you want to use my Jiuyuan's power to break away from Mogan."
The faces of everyone in the tent changed drastically, Qing Ze didn't know if he coughed hard, and his body began to tremble.
"And your elders probably didn't expect that Mogan had long wanted to kill all your patriarchs and priests and turn all your people into salt slaves. This time he went to inform them just to give them an excuse to attack your Yanshan tribe. !"
"Pfft!" Elder Qingze spat out the sand from his throat, mixed with sticky blood.
He vomited non-stop, vomited so much blood that he vomited out mouthfuls.
"Uncle Qingze?" Hei Qi looked at the middle-aged man he was supporting in disbelief, and asked Jiu Yuan to help take them away from Moore, but he only told him.
He didn't say it, and Jiuyuan had no reason to say it, but Mogan still knew about it. After thinking about what he told Uncle Qingze, Uncle Qingze carried a basket of salt blocks on his back and said that he would go out to trade with others. After changing all the salt, they brought back three fat and strong pointed-horned deer. He also said that Uncle Qingze was better than others, and he was able to exchange coarse salt for so much live meat.
Thinking about it now, Uncle Qingze is better at trading than others, this is just his informant, and the Morgan "rewarded" him with meat!
Qinglu frowned and looked at Heiqi, "Heiqi, is that so?"
Hei Qi's face was pale, and he nodded silently.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Qinglu was angry, and the expressions of the other three people were also very ugly.
Hei Qi's voice was low, "Uncle Qingze won't let me say it, and said that I'll talk to the patriarch and priest when I go back."
Yuan Zhan shook his head, "According to the news sent back by our scouts, Morgan will send soldiers to attack your Yanshan tribe tomorrow. When you go back, the Yanshan tribe has probably disappeared. No, I think you may not have left this city." collection possible."
Qingze knelt down slowly, and he couldn't help murmuring in disbelief: "That's not what they said, they clearly said that as long as we refine better salt for them, they will make us like their clansmen. clearly said..."
For the time being, Qinglu didn't have the energy to deal with the elder Qingze, so he calmed down and asked Heiqi: "Tell me everything that happened, and did you promise Jiuyuan any conditions?"
Hei Qi took a deep breath and shook his head, "I didn't promise anything. The Jiuyuan people just proposed that if we are willing to join Jiuyuan, they will take us away from Morgan."
"Join Jiuyuan?" Qinglu and the other three sneered, "The price is for us to help find salt and make salt?"
Yuan Zhan sneered again, he didn't even bother to take out the red salt this time.
Heiqi blushed, and hurriedly told the story that Jiuyuan is rich in red salt, and the taste is much better than their best salt.
Qinglu and the others didn't quite believe it. They didn't believe that other than the Yanshan tribe, there were people who could refine better salt than them.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. I just came to tell you about this matter. You can decide how to do it yourself. Because of your delay, Morgan is also planning to attack us, and we just bought 1,500 Slaves, these people can't be thrown away." Yan Mo's tone was cold.
Didn't he just not recognize his relatives? Is it necessary to trick him like this
When he thought that the free transportation was gone, he would have to go back to Jiuyuan in the future, and he would have to bring a lot of burdens, he was upset and distressed!
"Morgan is also planning to attack you?" Hei Qi and the others were surprised, "Then what are you going to do?"
Yan Mo said coldly: "How to do it? Stay here and be surrounded and beaten? Of course, before they have assembled the soldiers, they will take away as many people as possible."
"Then what should we do?" One of the other three youths was probably in a hurry, and asked such nonsensical words.
Although Heiqi and Qinglu feel that this question is a bit embarrassing, but the current situation is that if Jiuyuan doesn't help them, their Yanshan tribe will die!
Hei Qi immediately looked at Yan Mo expectantly, at this moment they were still willing to come over and let them know, they would not just leave them alone.
Yan Mo paused, "Originally we had a safe way to take you away. When you leave, even if the Morgans find out, they won't really go to our Jiuyuan to ask for someone. They still want our red salt. It is also impossible to break faces with us. But now, they use you as an excuse to say that we miss their Morgan salt mountain and want to intercept us before we go back to Jiuyuan."
Qing Ze no longer vomited blood, he just knelt on the ground, like a puppet, with a pale face and dull eyes.
But at this time, no one cared about him. No matter what his original purpose was, maybe he was doing it for the good of the Yanshan Clan, but what he did actually harmed the Yanshan Clan, and even caused Jiuyuan to suffer.
Qinglu and the others are not qualified to deal with an elder, and they don't know what to do with him, so they can only pretend that he doesn't exist for the time being.
"Now it's impossible for us to go quietly, and it's impossible for us to lose 1,500 people from our side for the sake of 200 people from your Yanshan tribe."
Yan Mo's words made Hei Qi and the others feel cold.
"However," Yan Mo said without hesitation, "I once owed a favor to a member of the Yanshan tribe. I promised him that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would help the Yanshan tribe once. Originally, as long as I helped his family Okay, but right now... it looks like I need to help your whole clan."
Hei Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Mo.
"Your Yanshan people in the market can go with us. I will send someone to your Yanshan people to spread the word and try to inform your people before the arrival of the Morgan warriors."
Hei Qi gritted his teeth, "Even so, we can't escape the pursuit of the Morgans. In his territory, those small tribes listen to them, and the nearby big tribes will not help us. If you want to help us We will then… "
Yan Mo interrupted him, chuckling, "I'll take all of you away from the market and send someone to notify your clansmen. I think my love is enough."
Yuan Zhan interface: "We still have our own clansmen to protect, if you want us to send out manpower to protect you and fight Morgan, you must pay enough price!"
Hei Qi squatted on the ground, originally he didn't have to pay any price, but now...
Qing Ze's expression became even more sluggish, he hugged his head.
"If you have no way to decide, then go back and ask your patriarchs and priests. Our scouts can take one of you on the road together, but someone is dragging him, and he can't go as fast as before. This will inevitably delay time, you guys Think about what to say when you go back on the road, and ask your patriarch when you arrive at Salt Mountain, let him make a decision immediately, and determine what price to pay. In this way, our scouts may rush to get the news before the Morgans Bring it back to me, and I will be able to ask the mountain god Jiufeng for help, and bring our sacred blood warriors to help you before the Morgans arrive."
Yuan Zhan made sure that these people heard clearly, and said again: "Remember, when the sun falls to the top of the nearest mountain on the other side of the river, we will set off. If you want to walk with us, go to the big river Come to us, don't bring anything except weapons. Also, keep your mouth shut!"
