In a relatively open tent in the Jianclaw tribe's camp, An Chuer was holding a pen and recording in a small book what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
She, Yu Mingyang and others came here four days ago. They had learned a lot in the school before. They knew that with the barbarism and backwardness of the Hard Claw tribe, normal communication was very difficult without having any force.
of.
So before they set off, they came up with an idea, that is, they would not say they were envoys, but a caravan coming to exchange goods.
Anyway, they are the ones responsible for the specific communication with the Hardclaw tribe. The teachers and teachers who came from the academy can't understand it, so they can say whatever they want.
Zhang Yu once said repeatedly that when dealing with barbarians, the most important thing is to protect yourself first, and then you are qualified to talk about other things. They also kept this in mind.
Before Yu Mingyang set out, he specifically entrusted Duan Neng to purchase a lot of items, mostly salt blocks and cloth.
They knew very well that the Tubarbarians migrating on such a large scale must lack these things. In addition to these, they also prepared some gorgeous silks and exquisite porcelain, which were also used to deal with the Tubarbarians in the past.
Sure enough, as soon as these things were brought to this tribe, they were very popular.
Even though the Hard Claw tribe was barbaric and backward, they also knew the benefits that the caravan brought to them, so they treated them more politely than they had previously treated Zhan Zhi and others. Not only did they set aside a separate clearing for them, they also sent a team of soldiers to take charge of it.
Maintain order during transactions.
Although they had not been able to contact Zhan Zhi and others who were under custody in the past few days, they did get a lot of useful information from this, and the letter they sent before was the most important gain.
When An Chu'er was writing on the booklet, an uncomfortable voice came: "An Chu'er, why are you still lingering here?" Then a man in his twenties, dressed as an assistant teacher, walked in.
And looked at her with displeasure.
An Chuer secretly sighed. Although they were not in trouble from the Jianclaw tribesmen, they were still under considerable pressure. The accompanying Assistant Teacher Lin kept urging them to see the chieftain regardless of the actual situation.
However, she was very polite, so she stood up and said, "Assistant Professor Lin, Mr. Yu has already gone to inquire about the news. The great chieftain is not something you can just meet if you want to."
Assistant Professor Lin said in a stern tone: "How many days have you been saying this? How many people in the academy are waiting for news about us, but you are just lingering here. Are you worthy of the cultivation of the academy? How did your teacher teach you?"
When An Chuer heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her head and said, "Teacher Lin, please be careful. You said students can do it, but you comment on the students' teachers in front of the students. Isn't this what a teacher who is a role model should say?
?”
Assistant Professor Lin was startled, and then became a little angry. He stretched out his finger and pointed at An Chu'er. He was about to say something. But at this moment, the light suddenly dimmed. He turned around and saw a man in a cloak standing outside the tent. At his feet
Followed by a golden ocelot cub.
He was a little nervous and said: "Who are you? Who are you?"
An Chuer suddenly felt that this person looked very familiar to her. She opened her mouth to shout something, but was not sure.
The man looked at her, stretched out his hand, lifted up his hood, and revealed his face.
"gentlemen!"
An Chuer was pleasantly surprised. She ran out of the tent, raised her head and said, "Sir, why are you here too?"
Zhang Yudao: "The Academy asked me to handle the affairs here."
"It's you!"
At this moment, Assistant Professor Lin suddenly pointed at him and said: "I remembered, you are the Assistant Professor Zhang. The academy asked you to come? Very good! Assistant Professor Zhang, go and meet the chieftain quickly and find a way to get him to envoy Zhan Jie."
Release it."
Zhang Yu looked at An Chuer and said, "Are you and the other classmates here?"
An Chuer said: "Sir, don't worry, everyone is here."
Assistant Professor Lin was very anxious and said: "Who cares about the students? Assistant Professor Zhang, it is serious to rescue Zhan Jiezhi, appease the Jianclaw tribe, and complete the major tasks of the Protectorate."
Zhang Yudao: "An Chu'er, go back and find everyone. You will stay here tonight and don't go anywhere. No matter who calls you, don't answer."
An Chu'er hummed and said extremely seriously: "Chu'er must remember your husband's words."
Assistant Professor Lin also noticed something at this time. He looked at the two of them and said, "Is there something wrong? Assistant Teacher Zhang, I was specially sent by Wanqi Xueliang. You must tell me if you have anything."
Zhang Yudao: "Have you read the book I gave you?"
An Chuer said: "I'm watching. The student has memorized every word."
Assistant Professor Lin:..."
After Zhang Yu explained, he walked out. He didn't say a word to Assistant Professor Lin, nor did he look at him. It seemed that this person was not in front of him.
Assistant Professor Lin was anxious, and he followed out, trying to block Zhang Yu's way, "Assistant Teacher Zhang, what's going on..."
At this time, Su Zhu, who had been following Zhang Yu, stretched out his hand and pinched the back of Assistant Lin's neck, then lifted him aside and put him down.
Assistant Professor Lin felt his whole body go numb, and then when his perspective changed, he was leaning directly on the wooden stakes used to fix the tent.
Soon he was horrified to find that although he was standing, no part of his body except his eyelids could move, and he could only make tiny whining sounds from his throat.
Zhang Yu walked all the way back to his tent and said that he needed to adjust his breath. Su Zhu nodded and went to wait outside the tent.
Zhang Yu let the little leopard cat go aside to play by himself, while he sat cross-legged and called Dao Xuanzhang out in his heart.
After noticing the strong hostility before, he felt the need to deepen his strength.
Looking at the Seal of Heart Light, he put all the remaining divine energy into it without any reservation.
As the divine energy increases, the seal becomes brighter and brighter.
At the same moment, in the huge shed in the middle of the camp, the chieftain Ekulu was sitting on a soft cushion, sipping tea from a delicate porcelain cup, which Zhan Zhitong had given him before.
He is tall, strong and well-proportioned, with neat teeth, thick eyebrows, and hair on his shoulders. He is well groomed and not messy at all. His tea-sipping movements are very slow. If it weren't for the clothes decorated with claws on his body, he would almost look like a man.
You can't tell he's a savage.
Sitting in front of him at this moment was Kamo, the youngest priest in the tribe. He grabbed the bone staff and asked carefully: "Does the chief want to meet the envoy sent by Dongting this time?"
Ekulu took a sip of tea and said casually: "What do you think?"
Kamo lowered his head and said, "I follow the decision of the chief."
Ekulu was very satisfied with his reaction. He liked these young priests who were obedient, strong, and full of strength, unlike the older priests who dictated to him everywhere and bound him with old rules.
.
So after he came to power, he left most of the old and frail priests in the damn and dirty jungle ancestral land.
He said: "Zanuica said that the backs of the Dongting people are empty, which is the same as what those blood descendants told me."
The Zhans did not actually know that the little chieftain named "Zanuicha" they met was actually sent by the Hardclaw tribe to contact them intentionally.
They are barbarians, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. When they come to a strange place, they will definitely try to understand the most powerful ruler in this land.
After Zhanuicha visited Ruiguang City, he roughly understood the reality of the Protectorate. However, he was also shocked by the power of the Protectorate, so the Hard Claw tribe never acted rashly.
The Kamo priest thought for a moment and said, "Does the chief want to cooperate with those descendants of the Blood Sun?"
Ekulu took a sip of tea and smelled the aroma inside. A greedy look appeared in his eyes, but he quickly restrained his desire.
"Those descendants of the Blood Sun told me that the Dongting people have many good things. This is true, but the Dongting people also have many sacrifices and gods. If we go to war with them, we will suffer great losses."
The Kamo priest knew it was time to show his loyalty. He knelt down and said, "As long as the chief gives the order, my group and I will kill all the enemies in the way for the chief and bring them to justice."
Dedicate your soul to the great 'Troti'."
Ekulu laughed and said: "I want to know now, who is more powerful, the descendants of the Blood Sun or the gods of Tianxia? If you want to convince me, then you have to show enough power to convince me!"
The Kamo priest raised his head and said, "Does the chief chief need me to test it?"
Ekulu waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary." He crushed the delicate tea cup in his hand, then picked up a piece of half-cooked meat on the wooden stake and took a bite, revealing his white teeth, "In a nest
, there is no room for two powerful beasts, let’s see who can eat the other.” At this moment, his eyes were like those of a wolf in the wilderness, “Let’s help the remaining one.”
