Chapter 395 The truth lies only on the edge of the sword
In the central area of the Vine Tribe's residential area, there are two courtyards of similar size.
One of them is a mud-brick house, which Jiang Xuan lives in, and the other is a bamboo house with a bamboo and wood structure and a large yard, which Jiang Xuan specially prepared for Chi Shao.
When Jiang Xuan led Chi Shao to the bamboo house, Chi Shao discovered that the bamboo house was almost exactly the same as the one he lived in in the north. Even the yard was filled with various rare herbs.
She turned to look at Jiang Xuan, her eyes full of emotion.
Jiang Xuandao: "Sister, I had people build this bamboo house based on the land you lived in before. How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Chi Shao nodded gently: "This bamboo house is well built, I am very satisfied."
A smile appeared on Jiang Xuan's face: "That's good. It's not easy to go to the central part of the country. I'm afraid you won't be used to it and feel uncomfortable. Let's go and have a look inside."
Jiang Xuan pushed open the door of the bamboo house. The fire pit inside had already been set up. All kinds of living utensils were even more complete than those in the north. The food reserves were very rich and sufficient.
Chi Shao was led by Jiang Xuan to look at it again. Jiang Xuan's intentions could be felt everywhere, and he was even more moved in his heart. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been moved to tears.
But she is a witch and the spiritual support of the Vine Tribe people. No matter how moved she is, she cannot cry in front of others. She can only hold Jiang Xuan's hand tightly, with the smile on her face almost never breaking.
Shi Loach, Jing Jie and others moved Chi Shao's belongings in and diligently helped her arrange them. Even the pottery tripod and iron pot used for cooking were cleaned.
Jiang Xuan was in a good mood and cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone using the specialties from central China. He also invited the old witch over to eat together.
While everyone was enjoying the delicious food, they were reminiscing about old times and all kinds of interesting things that had happened recently. The scene was very harmonious and cheerful.
Everyone is happy except Fengcao.
Although she tried her best to hide her inner anxiety and behaved like everyone else, the worry deep in her eyes was still seen by Chi Shao, who was extremely observant.
After dinner, Chi Shao gently poked Jiang Xuan with her finger and gave him a subtle wink.
Jiang Xuan, who was reminded, soon discovered something was wrong with Feng Cao, so he excused himself to go to the toilet and left the bamboo house.
After Jiang Xuan left, Feng Cao immediately found an excuse to leave the bamboo house and quickly followed Jiang Xuan to the yard outside.
After arriving outside, Jiang Xuan turned to look at Feng Cao and asked directly: "You look a little uneasy. Did something happen?"
Facing Jiang Xuan's inquiry, Feng Cao immediately told the story that the Black Snake Tribe was about to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe.
"The Black Snake Tribe is going to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe?"
Jiang Xuan's brows frowned slightly. The Bamboo Rat Tribe is a subsidiary tribe of the Teng Tribe, and there is iron ore that is very important to the Teng Tribe on its territory, so nothing should happen to it.
Moreover, according to Feng Cao's information, the Black Snake Tribe's attack on the Bamboo Rat Tribe was entirely due to the fire, and the fire was actually caused by the thorn vines. The Bamboo Rat Tribe was inexplicably blamed.
However, since the Bamboo Rat Tribe, as a subordinate tribe, enjoys the protection and benefits of the Vine Tribe, it is normal for them to occasionally take the blame when fighting for the Vine Tribe. They can't just want the benefits and not assume their obligations, right?
Of course, the Bamboo Rat Tribe is a small tribe after all, and its strength is very weak. They will definitely not be able to stop the Black Snake Tribe on their own.
Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "It just so happens that everyone is here tonight and Wu is here. I suddenly thought of a bold plan. Let's go in and discuss it together."
Feng Cao nodded, followed Jiang Xuan back to the bamboo house, and told Jiang Xuan about the Black Snake Tribe at Jiang Xuan's signal.
After everyone listened, they exchanged glances, and then focused their attention on Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao again, because they were the real decision-makers of the Teng tribe.
Chi Shao was silent for a moment and then said: "I have just arrived in the central part of the country and I know very little about the situation here. I cannot make arbitrary decisions. Let the leader make the decision."
Jiang Xuan sat up straight, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, since the wizard asked me to speak, I will tell you what I think."
"First of all, the Bamboo Rat Tribe must be saved. It is our affiliated tribe. If even the Bamboo Rat Tribe cannot be protected, the prestige that our Teng Tribe has worked so hard to establish in the central region will be lost immediately, and other tribes will doubt us.
The ability of the Vine Tribe.”
"Second, the Black Snake Tribe has attacked our Vine Tribe several times and has now become our biggest threat in the central region. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take this opportunity to take the initiative. Even if we cannot destroy them, we must still give them a heavy blow.
, let them take a detour when they see our Vine Tribe in the future!"
Jiang Xuan's words lifted everyone's spirits, especially those like Jingjie who hated the Black Snake Tribe so much that their blood boiled. They were so excited that the totem patterns on their bodies appeared.
When he thought about the Black Snake Tribe intercepting and killing the fleet and almost causing a large number of casualties and heavy losses to the fleet, he wanted to immediately go to the Black Snake Tribe to take revenge.
Unlike Nepeta, Shi Loach has a more stable character. He hesitated for a moment and asked Jiang Xuan: "Chief, the Black Snake Tribe is a big tribe after all, with strong fighting power. Is it too risky for us to take the initiative now?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "It is of course more risky to rely on ourselves. After all, half of our strength is in the north, but if we involve the crocodile tribe, the situation will be completely different."
Stone Loach's eyes lit up: "Crocodile Tribe? Are they willing to join us in the attack?"
Jiang Xuan said confidently: "I have checked. When the Black Snake Tribe entered the central part of the Southern Wilderness, they had several major conflicts with the Crocodile Tribe. The two sides had already formed a deep hatred."
"As long as we are willing to be the main force and take action against the Black Snake Tribe, the Crocodile Tribe will definitely not mind helping us and taking revenge on the way."
"When the time comes, our Vine Tribe, Crocodile Tribe, Mountain Turtle Tribe, Ape Tribe, Rat Tribe, plus the Bamboo Rat Tribe acting as bait, six tribes will attack together. Even if the Black Snake Tribe is not destroyed, it will definitely be severely damaged.
, it will be difficult to pose a threat to us again in the future!"
Everyone quickly calculated in their minds, and then nodded, agreeing with Jiang Xuan's statement.
Later, Jiang Xuan discussed the specific details before the war with everyone, and asked them to prepare for the war in advance in the tribe. He also asked Feng Cao to use the intelligence network of Thorn Vine to notify the Bamboo Rat Tribe as quickly as possible to let them
Be prepared to defend yourself.
At the same time, tell the Bamboo Rat Tribe that reinforcements will arrive soon, giving them a little confidence to avoid being directly scared away by the Black Snake Tribe.
Finally, Jiang Xuan rode a purple eagle glutinous rice ball to the crocodile tribe overnight, trying his best to persuade them to take action immediately.
Of course, Jiang Xuan is not a blindly confident person, he is already prepared in his heart.
If the Crocodile Tribe is willing to take action, that would certainly be the best.
If the Crocodile Tribe is unwilling to take action, the Vine Tribe will lead the affiliated tribes and fight the Black Snake Tribe.
As long as the Black Snake Tribe is not determined to fight to the death, they will not dare to fight until both sides are harmed. If the battle is damaged to a certain extent, they will retreat, and the Bamboo Rat Tribe will be saved.
This battle may cost some money, but the Vine Tribe can also use this to prove its strength and consolidate its position in the central region by using the name of the Black Snake Tribe.
From now on, those tribes that are eager to take action because of the jealous Vine Tribe's interests must first consider whether they are as powerful as the Black Snake Tribe and whether they can withstand the Vine Tribe's wrath before taking action.
It is useless to tell how strong a tribe is by talking about it. Only a strong record can make people convinced.
