Xiling asked with concern: "Are the people who can make this kind of bows and arrows gone? There should be people from the Yu tribe left. Is it possible that Ruoshan City will send military formations to annihilate this tribe? I don't think it is necessary, but
Just follow the instructions of the Youyu clan!"
Ruoshan shook his head and explained that he had no intention of sending an army to cross the vast mountains to annihilate the Yu people. Unless his warriors could fly, it would be impossible to do it. But now only the old people are left among the Yu people.
Weak and sick, they are trapped in the wilderness, and it is impossible to intermarry with foreign races and reproduce. This monster clan will not survive for a long time, and will only gradually disappear silently, just like those who have appeared and disappeared in the long historical era.
Like many demon clans.
Master Xiling asked again: "Is there no one among the other tribes who is capable of making such bows and arrows?"
Ruoshan replied: "There are several tribes, and their hunting bows have their own characteristics, but for you, Sir Xiling, their value should be far less than the feathered people's bow. If an expert is interested in this kind of bow
If so, I can make a few more, but it may be impossible to make them in batches for a long time. They are things that the Yumen clan has saved for many years. Because of their preciousness, I will let Master Xiling bring them to the king. If
The rest of the goods are too few to be respected, and too many are inconvenient for your followers to carry."
Hearing this, Master Xiling thanked Ruoshan again, while secretly cursing Yu Da Ke in his heart. If Yu Da Ke hadn't colluded with Da Mao, the Yu Min clan would not have been ruined, so this barbaric wilderness would have been able to continue to supply this special system.
Weapons are much more important than other assets.
However, Master Shan still laid an ambush. In fact, there are still 70 sets of the same bows and arrows left in Lu Village. They were also obtained from the Feather People clan, which will be enough for the soldiers of Shanshui City in the future. Although it is difficult to make new ones in large quantities.
, but the most important thing about a bow is the spine, and the strings can be replaced with new ones using suitable materials.
And this kind of bow spine is extremely durable. If there are no accidents, it can be used for many years without being damaged. Even if there is a small amount of loss, Shan Ye, Gu Xin and others can repair and replenish it. Just use this kind of bow spine.
The short bow requires very high strength and skills, and only those warriors who have developed Kaishan strength can master it relatively easily. After all, the body structures of ordinary people and the Yu people are different.
…
Just three days after the conflict in the Central Valley, all matters were finally settled. Lord Xiling led his entourage back to Bayuan to report back to the monarch. Not only did they carry things that Ruoshan City had donated to the monarch, but also fifty sets of very large items.
Bows and arrows with strategic value, as well as a personal gift from the Lord of Ruoshan City to Lord Xiling. Anyway, the big thing has been decided, so we need to be as polite as possible to the Lord Envoy. What's more, Master Shan has never been a stingy person.
Xiling took more than ten followers with him, and it took him more than ten days to get out of the wild mountains and see people again. Needless to say, this journey was difficult. He had to spend the night in the dangerous wild forest every day, and encountered several heavy rains along the way.
, was almost washed away by the flash flood. Fortunately, with the protection of a group of experts, Master Xiling was not in danger even though he looked embarrassed, and finally returned to Ba Yuan safely.
Xiling could also understand in his heart why Master Yue Geng led you deep into the wilderness a few years ago. After arriving at Youyu Village, he refused to go any further. Now he still walks so hard despite knowing the road conditions.
Master Geng didn't know the situation in the wilderness, but felt that the road was endless and dangerous, and finally arrived at a place where there were tribes. He also heard Yu Dakei and others introduce the situation in the wilderness, so of course he thought that the mission could be completed, and did not want to continue to suffer that kind of hardship.
, he could not imagine that he would be deceived by Youyu Village.
After leaving the steep mountains, the edge of Bayuan is actually a plateau and mountainous area, dotted with many tribal villages. The distance between people is only within a day. And there are roads. This area is called "highland" in Xiangshi Kingdom.
The first city we encounter as we move forward is Gaocheng, and the current lord of Gaocheng is Lord Yuegeng.
Of course, Xiling had to enter Gaocheng to rest, and Yue Geng had been waiting for news about him. Yue Geng also hoped that the envoy could successfully complete the task. If the tribes in the wilderness formed an alliance, were granted the title of city builder, and became a vassal of the Xiangshi Kingdom,
Although Mr. Xiling has merit, the more important credit is his Yue Geng. Without Yue Geng’s recommendation back then, how could the management of these years have been as successful as it is today?
If Yu Dake becomes the lord of Youyu City, it will be the weakest and most remote city in the Xiangshi Kingdom, and its status will be equivalent to a vassal of Gaocheng, becoming the sphere of influence of his Lord Yue Geng. As long as Yue Geng says a word
, Yu Dakei, who is attached to him and has only achieved so far, will of course obey his words. The biggest benefit after all the tribes in the wilderness form an alliance and join, and the road is opened, of course belongs to his Gaocheng family, and Yue Geng can gain both fame and fortune.
When he heard that Xiling had returned from fulfilling his mission, Yue Geng happily ran to greet him and held a banquet to congratulate him. However, before the banquet started, Xiling called him into the secret room alone and had a private conversation. After hearing this, the Lord of Yue Geng City
He was stunned and his face looked very ugly.
Xiling knew that some things must be discussed in private, otherwise if some things were said in public, it would embarrass City Lord Yue Geng. Back then, Yue Geng only had contact with the Youyu tribe, and he also received many benefits from the Youyu tribe. Over the years, the Xiangxiang Room
The country's help to the barbarian tribes was all handled through Master Yue Geng, and all of it was given to the Youyu tribe.
Now Lord Xiling has indeed fulfilled his mission, but it cannot be regarded as the credit of Lord Yuegeng. Yuegeng's actions have become the biggest obstacle to the alliance of various tribes, which almost caused irreversible civil strife and mutual massacre.
Ling, the envoy, could hardly come back. Fortunately, the mountain master had extraordinary means and was able to resolve the situation.
Yue Geng has been supporting Yu Dake and Youyu Village. Now the tribes in the wilderness have formed an alliance and been granted a title. However, the city owner is Ruoshan, whom he does not know and has never had contact with. Yu Dake was killed in public, and Youyu Village also
No matter how you look at it, it is a slap in the face to Master Yue Geng. If the monarch hears about it, how will he treat him?
Seeing Master Yuegeng's face, Xiling also knew what the city lord was thinking, but he had to explain in detail what happened in the wilderness to avoid misunderstandings later. Finally, he persuaded with a smile: "There is no need to be angry, city lord Yuegeng."
, I think you were deceived by the Youyu clan back then. It would be difficult for anyone to avoid this matter, and I almost had to escape from this trip.
You don’t have to think too much about some things. All the king wants is the result. As long as the result is there, it’s easy to say what the process was. People in the country only know that you, Lord Yuegeng City, went to the wilderness a few years ago without hesitation and guided the tribes.
The tributary envoys met the king, and then they achieved today's achievements, but they didn't know who was in the deep mountains."
After saying this, Xiling took out another Rhinoceros horn and said, "I heard that you wanted to find this thing when you went deep into the wilderness a few years ago, but the Youyu clan did not hunt the Rhinoceros. This Rhinoceros
The horn was hunted by Lu Village, and City Lord Ruoshan asked me to give it to you, City Lord Yuegeng, as a token of greeting and regret that I could not see you that year."
The expression of the Lord of Yuegeng City softened. He also felt that Xiling's words were very reasonable. Seeing that Ruoshan, whom he had never met before, took the initiative to give such a precious gift, he seemed to be very interested in showing kindness, so he reluctantly squeezed out
A hint of smile said: "Thank you Lord Xiling for your comfort, and congratulations on your ability to fulfill your mission and return! This city lord is really ashamed. What I did back then almost caused you to be harmed. Fortunately, this matter went smoothly in the end. I also have to thank Lord Xiling, and
I apologize to you!"
Lord Xiling hurriedly said: "Master Yue Geng City, there is no need to be like this. You and I have both worked hard to fulfill the king's mission. Now that we are done, we both have credit for it, and I will report it clearly to the king."
Yue Geng held the rhino horn and said: "At the banquet later, I will punish myself with a few more drinks, and I will also toast Master Xiling with a few more drinks! You can stay in Gaocheng for a few more days and let me entertain you. As for this
I was too embarrassed to accept the rhinoceros horn at first, but this thing is to be given to Chi Wangqiu, so I would like to thank Lord Xiling and the Lord of Ruoshan City for their kindness, he is very sensible!"
Seeing this rhinoceros horn, Yue Geng's thoughts came alive again, and he thought of many things. No matter who was the leader of the alliance in that wilderness, any relationship with Ba Yuan in the future would not be able to avoid him.
The Gaocheng where he is located. The Lord of Ruoshan City must have wiped out the Youyu clan, and he must be very uneasy at the moment. If he wants to gain his favor, he has to do more and behave more respectfully than the Youyu Village back then.
Lord Xiling couldn't see Yue Geng's thoughts. Unfortunately, the rhinoceros horn was not given to Yue Geng by Ruoshan, but as a gift to Xiling. Xiling did not want the newly sealed Shanshui City and the Gaocheng outside the wilderness.
He had a bad relationship, so he took it upon himself to give it to Yue Geng in the name of Ruoshan to ease the tension between the two parties that might have been caused by the past, but Xiling himself was not greedy.
But judging from Yue Geng's reaction, although he heard about the thrilling twists and turns that happened in the wilderness, he didn't take Ruoshan seriously. He seemed to be planning to treat Ruoshan like a big shell of a fish, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to flatter and offer benefits. Xiling
The Lord can only sigh secretly. He has experienced a frightening experience first-hand. In comparison, the methods and conduct of the Lord of Yuegeng City are far inferior to that of the Shan Ye. If there is a fight, I am afraid it will not be the Shan Ye.
opponent.
In fact, Yue Geng is not a mediocre person to have the status he has today. I think back when Yu Dake sent Yu and You to bring people to deliver gifts, he suddenly changed his mind and disguised those people as envoys from various tribes in the wilderness to pay tribute to the king.
He has made great achievements and won a reputation in Xiangshi Kingdom. As for what kind of struggles there are in the wilderness, Lord Yuegeng doesn't care. He only considers higher-level interests, as long as it is good for himself.
But with such a mentality, many times it is difficult to do what one is doing and what should be done. However, it is not convenient for Xiling to say these words in depth. After talking about this, he walked out of the house with Mr. Yue Geng, and the banquet officially began. (
