Ren Ning finally waited until the slave girl finished scolding her before she spoke.
"If you don't agree with each other, the worst that can happen is that your two tribes will break up. Why would Benlu and the others find horse thieves to attack you?"
Ren Ning emphasized the word "horse thief".
After last night's battle, he could see very clearly. These people followed orders and prohibitions, and were well-founded in their advance and retreat. There was no trace of the temperament of a bandit.
The three clan leaders didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
well!
He sighed.
"Just as my little brother predicted before, Benlu saw that he couldn't win over us, so he wanted to destroy Kailun."
"It's just that the two tribes have about the same number of people. If they really fight, both sides will suffer losses. No one expected that they would be so ruthless and secretly find some horse thieves to help."
"That's it." Ren Ning suddenly realized.
The three clan leaders added: "There are not many water sources and pastures around here that are suitable for the survival of large tribes. If we really want them to succeed, most of the tribesmen will have no choice but to join them once we disperse."
Ren Ning nodded, he understood even more.
In just a dozen years, Kailun has grown from a small tribe to more than 30,000 people now. Of course, they are not born one by one.
Many of the tribesmen are outsiders who joined later. Like Youmeng, they are small tribes wandering nearby. After encountering natural and man-made disasters, they were desperate and had no choice but to join the tribe.
When Kailun is flourishing, no problems will arise.
Once there is an unsolvable crisis of genocide, those tribesmen who joined later will inevitably become dissatisfied and take others away.
"Then how are you going to deal with this matter?" Ren Ning was curious.
The three patriarchs were silent.
At the beginning, the three brothers had discussed that they were willing to spread their wealth to eliminate disasters.
It's just that the thief refused and insisted on a liberal woman.
If we can't agree, the only option is to fight.
Originally they couldn't defeat them, but as soon as Ren Ning appeared, one-third of the horse thieves were instantly wiped out.
Kai Lun thought things had turned around.
Unexpectedly, after interrogation, they learned that there was a running deer behind the horse thieves. For a while, it seemed that they had only two options left.
Either continue to fight, or the whole clan merges with Benlu.
However, no one wants to rely on others.
"I wonder what you can do, little brother Ning?" The heads of the three tribes stared at Ren Ning eagerly, "If you have a way, we, Kailun, will try our best to cooperate."
"With my little brother's skills, we don't know what we can give you or do for you. But as long as this matter is settled, we will be a family from now on."
Ren Ning gave him a strange look.
The commitment of the grassland tribe is no small matter. Once the words are spoken, they will be true to their word.
"Actually, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Ren Ning raised his head and glanced northwest.
"First scare the horse thieves so that they don't dare to harass you again. Then go and kill the running deer."
"Don't they want to devour Kai Lun? You just devour them in turn."
"It's settled once and for all."
The heads of the three clans straightened their eyes and their hands were trembling.
That's easy to say.
If horse thieves were so easily beaten, there wouldn't be horse thieves running rampant on the grasslands.
And if the Running Deer could be wiped out so easily, Kelun would not acquiesce in allowing them to settle more than 400 miles away.
More than four hundred miles may seem like a long distance, but if you want to feed thousands of livestock on both sides, this area is not enough.
Ren Ning didn't explain much.
"I will help solve the horse thieves matter. As for the running deer, you must have poison on hand."
"Yes." Although the three patriarchs were a little confused, they still nodded.
We killed so many horse thieves last night and found a lot of venom on them.
Ren Ning smiled.
"As the saying goes, don't reciprocate. Since they have the intention to put poison into your water source, you can also follow their example and put poison into their water source."
The three patriarchs trembled. Looking at Ren Ning, who looked calm and smiling, it was like seeing a devil.
He hesitated and said, "Isn't this appropriate?"
"It is indeed inappropriate." Ren Ning nodded in agreement, "Most of the tribesmen on both sides are ordinary people. They just want to live peacefully and raise their children."
"You can't do things like poisoning people."
"It's okay." The three clan leaders breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's understandable that you don't want to be evil." Ren Ning chuckled, "But if there is one, there must be the other."
"I missed it this time. Just wait until Benlu and the others find other horse thieves to touch it and poison it. Don't regret it."
"This..." The faces of the three clan leaders were full of colors, and they had mixed emotions at the moment.
The two of them talked and kept walking.
Unknowingly, we arrived at the entrance of the fence to the north of the Kailun tribe.
More than thirty feet away, a horse thief was riding on a horse, waiting there quietly.
Allen and his group were filled with indignation, pointing at the horse thief and yelling curses.
However, the horse thief on the opposite side seemed to be unheard.
Not only did the others remain silent, but even the horses did not move. One person and one rider were as silent as statues.
Ren Ning sneered in his heart.
It would be strange if they were horse thieves with this style, they are clearly Xiliang scouts.
Looking at it like this, rather than saying that Benlu asked them for help, it would be better to say that these scouts came together on their own.
Even the reason Benlu suddenly wanted to annex Kailun might be because they secretly provoked him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the other two patriarchs of Kailun also walked over with serious faces.
When the horse thief saw that everyone was here, he looked up.
He looked at everyone carefully.
Ren Ning is considered very tall among the Yunchui people, but among the generally tall herdsmen in Kailun, he does not stand out at all.
The horse thief searched carefully and found no particularly outstanding person in the crowd, so he was a little confused for a moment.
Since he couldn't find it, the horse thief didn't bother anymore.
"The three clan leaders of Kailun really don't know each other until they fight each other. It's our turn to admit defeat. As long as you hand over our living brothers, from now on our grudges will be settled and we will never quarrel in the future..."
Pooh!
Allen and the others were young and energetic, and they were so angry that they cursed.
"What a beautiful idea! What a great horse thief. Didn't we kill him to the point where he screamed for father and mother last night and ran away with his head in his arms?"
"That's right. Come when you want, and leave when you want after we kill people and set fires. It's not that easy!"

Being disturbed
call out!
The sound of arrows.
"Little tricks!"
The horse thief had been staring at the crowd, but when he saw the sound of bows and arrows in the crowd, he drew his knife without hesitation and prepared to hit the incoming arrows.
However, before he even drew the knife, he already knew that he was wrong.
The arrow is coming too fast, you have to dodge!
Bah!
As soon as the horse saw the arrow coming fiercely, it rushed forward without waiting for the master's order, trying to avoid it.
flutter!
However, as soon as it moved its four legs, its two hind legs had been shot by arrows and were firmly nailed together.
thump!
The horse screamed and fell to the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust.
Horse thieves are agile.
The moment the horse fell, he had already jumped into the air and jumped off the horse's back.
call out!
There was the sound of arrows again.
There was no way for the horse thief to hide in the air. He tried hard to swing his bow to hit the flying arrows.
However, this technical difficulty is too high.
ah!
There was another scream.
The horse thief's thigh burst into a cloud of blood mist, and he was directly hit by an arrow. He fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The incident happened suddenly, and it took a while for everyone to react.
They turned back silently, looking at Ren Ning who said nothing and the bow and arrow in his hand, with horror on their faces.
Herdsmen on the grasslands all grew up riding horses and shooting arrows.
However, the more proficient people are in archery skills, the more shocked they will be.
Hitting the legs of two galloping horses with an arrow from thirty feet away is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Relatively speaking, shooting the horse thief in the air later was not that difficult.
"What are you looking at?" Ren Ning pointed outside, "There are so many horses, don't you want them?"
"Take it back and heal the leg, and you can still sell it to make some money to support your family."
A group of people in Kailun burst into tears.
Is now the time to say this?
The horse thief was shaking all over, whether from anger or pain, he didn't know.
He got up and cursed loudly: "Shameless. Don't you know that when two countries are at war, they will not kill each other?"
"I didn't kill him." Ren Ning replied confidently, "Aren't you still alive?"
The horse thief vomited blood.
He was not shot to death by an arrow, but almost died of anger.
