The tenth year since the establishment of the Vine Tribe, January 30th.
Crocodile Tribe, in the center of the residential area, inside the stilted building.
"Chief Thornwood, the Black Snake Tribe is our common enemy, and this tribe is extremely revengeful. If we don't take this opportunity to get rid of it, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Jiang Xuan sat by the fire pit and fully explained the grudges between the Black Snake Tribe and the Vine Tribe, as well as the Black Snake Tribe's current intention to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe, clarifying the pros and cons.
After hearing this, the leader of the Crocodile Tribe, Cimu, did not immediately reply to Jiang Xuan. Instead, he exchanged glances with Wu sitting beside him. Both of them were hesitant.
Attacking a large tribe is a major event that can affect the rise or fall of the tribe or even its survival. No one dares to make a decision lightly.
But the opportunity is rare right now. If you miss it, you may never have the opportunity to join forces with the Vine Tribe again, and you will also lose an opportunity to severely damage or even eliminate the Black Snake Tribe.
The consequences of this matter are very serious, and we must be cautious. No one dares to make a decision easily.
After hesitating for a long time, the leader Cimu finally said: "Chief Xuan, this matter is too important. I can't answer you right now."
"Well, you go to the guest room and take a rest first. We will convene the warrior leaders to discuss it and then give you a clear answer."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "This is what it should be, but the matter is urgent and the journey is relatively long. I must return to the Vine Tribe before dawn."
Ci Mu said: "Don't worry, Chief Xuan, we will definitely give you an accurate answer before dawn."
Then, Cimu shouted to the door: "Qingye, send Leader Xuan of the Teng tribe to the guest room to rest."
"yes!"
A young female warrior walked in outside the door. Although she tried hard to restrain herself, the joy on her face could not be concealed at all.
When Jiang Xuan saw her, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, because Qingye was the person he was most familiar with in the crocodile tribe.
"Chief Xuan, come with me."
Aoba raised his chin slightly, with a confident smile on his face, put his hands behind his back, puffed out his sizable chest, turned around happily and walked towards the door.
She turned around a lot, and the long hair behind her swayed with her movements. The waterfall-like long black hair first spread out one by one, and then gathered again, which looked pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Xuan smiled and greeted the leader of the crocodile tribe and the shaman, and then followed Qingye downstairs.
Although the outcome of this trip is still unclear, he has done his best, and the rest depends on how the Crocodile Tribe decides.
Qingye took Jiang Xuan down to the stilted building, but instead of taking Jiang Xuan to the guest room as the leader ordered, he took him directly back to his residence.
The stilted building that burned down has been rebuilt, and the scale is still the same as before. The various layouts have not changed. Even the big crocodile named Xiaoqing is still lying in its original position.
Although most of the things were new, Jiang Xuan did not feel unfamiliar, but rather very familiar.
Jiang Xuan followed Qingye to the stilted building. As soon as he entered the door, Qingye suddenly turned around and closed the door with a bang. Then he boldly hugged Jiang Xuan and buried his face on his chest.
"Plop...Plop..."
Jiang Xuan was startled at first, and then his heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably, and his body became extremely sensitive.
He lowered his head slightly and smelled a faint herbal fragrance, which came from Qingye's hair.
He knew that Qingye must have washed his hair with natural herbs with cleansing effects just to see him.
"I miss you, especially..."
Aoba's face was very red and her voice was as thin as a mosquito. It was completely different from her usual behavior.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something. No matter how rational he was, he could not ignore such an emotional and sincere confession.
He stretched out his slightly trembling hands and slowly hugged Qingye. He wanted to say something, but it seemed a bit redundant to say anything at this moment. He could only hold him tighter... and tighter...
It wasn't until Qingye's hand passed through his animal skin clothing and touched the skin of his waist that he suddenly woke up and held down Qingye's hand.
"No, Qingye, not tonight..."
When Qingye heard these words, he immediately raised his head, his eyes instantly turned red, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist. His voice was slightly choked: "Why...why..."
Jiang Xuan suppressed his inner impulse and protective desire and explained: "I came here today to persuade your Crocodile Tribe to attack the Black Snake Tribe together. The matter is urgent and we must not waste too much time here."
"Besides, if there is a war between big tribes, anything could happen. What if I..."
"Nothing unexpected!"
Before Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Qingye blocked her mouth because she didn't want to hear the second half of the sentence.
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and showed no sign of continuing. Qingye slowly let go of his hand, hugged him tightly again, put his face against his hot chest, and spoke slowly:
"You are the only person I have fallen in love with in my life. Ever since we went to Blackwater Lake together, I can never forget you. I look forward to seeing you again and getting news from you every day."
"But your Vine Tribe is too far away. It's so far that I can't find you, and it's hard to get news about you. I can only wait and wait for you to show up suddenly and give me a big surprise."
"But every time, the time we spend together is very short. You are like the wind. You come suddenly and leave suddenly. You can't stay."
Qingye held Jiang Xuan's hand unconsciously and pressed a little harder: "I know that I still can't keep you tonight, and I don't dare to delay the important events of your Vine tribe. I just hope that you can stay with me for a little longer.
Just for a moment..."
After Qingye finished speaking, he closed his eyes and carefully felt Jiang Xuan's breathing, heartbeat, and even the sound of blood flow.
Jiang Xuan silently replied with the word "ok" in his heart, and then he hugged her like this, unconsciously recalling every bit of time he had spent with her in his mind.
At this moment, it was very quiet in the stilted building, so quiet that you could hear every breath they took and all the subtle movements inside and outside the house.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of footsteps approaching from far away broke the warmth and tranquility.
Qingye's heart tightened, she knew that the time of separation was coming again.
Although she was extremely reluctant to let go, her reason still allowed her to slowly let go of her hand.
"Chief Xuan, our leader Cimu invites you to come over."
The shouts of the Crocodile Tribe warriors came from outside the stilted building.
Jiang Xuan looked at Qingye with a guilty look in his eyes.
Qingye carefully arranged the animal skin clothes on Jiang Xuan's body and said, "Go ahead. The tribe's important affairs are important. Don't keep the shaman and the leader waiting."
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he could not speak at all, because he knew that he could not make any substantial and reliable promises.
In the end, he didn't say anything, he just hugged Qingye, patted her on the back a few times, and then turned around and left resolutely.
When he appeared in front of the crocodile tribe warriors under the stilted building, his expression had returned to calm, but his eyes were sharper than usual.
"Let's go, take me to see your leader Cimu."
Jiang Xuan's voice was calm, but the crocodile tribe warrior could clearly feel that he exuded a powerful and terrifying aura, just like the king of beasts in the primeval forest, which was awe-inspiring.
"Chief Xuan, please come with me."
He put away all his little thoughts and led the way respectfully.
