More than a few hundred miles away from the base of the You clan, in a vast valley shaded by green trees, there was a land dotted with tents.
The number of tents in this area is no less than the number in the foundation land of the You clan.
In a huge tent in the center of the valley, there were more than ten people sitting upright. Looking at the positions where they were sitting, it was clear that these ten people were not from the same tribe.
Sitting in the middle is an old man with gray hair. There are eight people sitting on both sides of him. One of them is an old man and a middle-aged man. They are meditating with their eyes closed at this time. They seem to be indifferent to what everyone is saying at this time.
I don’t care too much. The remaining five people are all old people.
The three people sitting in the guest seats were young and strong men.
The three of them were wearing mulberry and linen clothes, with an unknown animal skin around their waists, looking rough and tough.
"Mr. Muren Clan Chief, this matter is absolutely true. Our Yue clan has sent many clansmen to investigate, and we have captured several clan members of the You clan. The news is absolutely not false. That person from the You clan
The worship of the Mingpu surname has indeed fallen. Hao Committee has traveled thousands of miles to come this time, so it is impossible for him to lie to each other."
One of the three burly men, a young man in his twenties, had a majestic face and an intimidating aura about him. He cupped his fists and bowed to the gray-haired old man with a calm expression in front of him, and spoke in a firm tone.
"Commissioner Hao, when you informed our Tong clan about this matter, did you want to provoke a large-scale war between our two major tribes, the Tong clan and the You clan? With such evil intentions, do you think that our Tong clan would be fooled by you?"
Before the clan leader could speak, an old man with slightly dark skin sitting next to him had already answered. His tone was extremely unkind, and his face was extremely gloomy.
The patriarch's expression was calm, his eyes sparkled, but he didn't answer anything.
"Hao Committee admits that he has absolutely no intention of provoking a war between the two tribes. Although the You tribe has lost one of its worshipers, there are still three of them. If a fight breaks out, even if you and I join forces, we will only injure a thousand enemies.
, it would be a self-inflicted loss of 800. Moreover, it is possible that the wrath of the royal city could be meted out. Maybe just after the Yin tribe was massacred, the royal army of the royal city would completely annihilate our two tribes.
However, the host tribe for this southern Xinjiang hunt in Wuwang City is the Tong tribe. If the Tong tribe holds this competition one year in advance, the vast eastern land occupied by the You tribe will naturally be taken back by the nobles.
.”
Facing the black-faced old man's question, the young man did not hesitate at all. He cupped his fists and spoke in a calm tone.
"Well, what Nephew Hao Wei said is true. This matter will indeed be beneficial to our Tong clan. However, my nephew is so considerate of our Tong clan and informed such a confidential matter, but I don't know what conditions the nobles have?
"
The patriarch of the Tong clan who was sitting among them heard the young man's words, his eyes flashed with light, he nodded slightly, and spoke calmly. At the same time, he looked at the young man in front of him, but there was no expression on his face.
"Of course, Hao Wei came over the mountains and ridges this time, and of course he wanted to beg the patriarch. Hao Wei heard that the nobles have a woman as gentle as lakes, as beautiful as flowers, and as beautiful as green mountains. I beg the patriarch to betroth that woman to him.
Hao Wei."
After hearing the patriarch's question, the young man who had been sitting upright stood up, bent his body, knelt on one leg, gave a deep bow, and said in a very pleading tone.
"You want to marry me, the pearl of the Tong clan. It's not impossible. But based on this alone, you want to marry Wen Lan'er back to the Yue clan. Thinking about it is not enough. You must use the land east of Mount Paektu as a betrothal gift.
Only then."
Tribal intermarriage is very common among tribes. Tribes are dominated by men, and women are only used as foils. Generally, in order to ensure that the tribe members have strong bloodlines, each tribe not only does not oppose intermarriage, but will encourage it. This is also what the tribe has concluded after countless years.
Gain experience.
Although the clan works together, marriage matters are handled by the entire clan. As long as a corresponding betrothal gift is given and both men and women are willing, they will usually marry the girl of their choice smoothly.
But at this time, the conditions put forward by the Tong clan were far beyond anything in the past.
No one else, because this pearl of the Tong tribe is a beautiful woman who has attracted widespread attention among several tribes in southern Xinjiang. Not only the Tong tribe has proposed marriage, but two other tribes have also come to ask for marriage.
Lan'er marries back to the tribe.
The so-called rare things can be lived in, and the experienced elders in these tribes naturally know it.
"Well, the land east of Baitou Mountain is dozens of miles in radius, and it has always been used as a winter resting place for my Yue clan. This is absolutely not allowed. However, when Hao Wei came, my father held a tribal meeting and promised to use the three areas in the eastern part of my tribe.
I would like to give a high mountain as a gift, I wonder if the clan leader is willing?"
Although Hao Wei is young, only over 20 years old, he is extremely calm and well-predicted. Even the several elders of the Tong clan present here couldn't help but nod secretly.
The three high mountains that Hao Wei mentioned are areas that intersect with the hunting areas of the Tong clan. Both sides usually enter them. Although there are no major conflicts, there are often tense situations.
At this time, Hao Committee said this. Although it seemed that he had made a huge concession and gave away a large area, he only lost very little profit. There are definitely not many young people with such flexible minds among the tribesmen who advocate force.
See.
The elder of the Tong clan coughed lightly and said calmly:
"Wen Lan'er is the silver moon of my Tong clan, so naturally I have to choose a bride for her seriously. To be honest with my nephew, Balang from the You clan and Long Shi from the Shen clan have both come to our clan to propose marriage. I
As we have said, Wen Lan'er's marriage will be decided at the clan hunting meeting. Whoever can impress Wen Lan'er can be married.
If my nephew wants to ask Lan'er, he must behave well then. My nephew has come a long way, so let's go down and rest first."
After hearing what the clan leader said, Committee Hao's face only froze for a moment, and he immediately recovered. After bowing and saluting, he led the two people who came with him out of the tent. Then he was led away by the people from the Tong clan.
"Clan Chief, what Hao Wei said this time is the same as the news we received. It seems that the You clan really lost a superpower worshiper this time. Even if they want to go to Wuwang City and spend a lot of money to hire one, they want to come
It’s not a short-term matter. Holding the hunting conference one year in advance will be of great benefit to our clan.”
Watching Hao Wei go away, the empty tent was quiet for a long time. The old man with a gray beard who had been closing his eyes to meditate opened his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.
"What Mr. Zha said is true. Although the hunting conference is dominated by tribesmen, the most important thing is the worship of the tribe. Last time, Qing Jian of the You clan calculated it. I don't know where he invited a foreigner.
Being able to offer sacrifices, our tribe was defeated by him. A large area of land was allocated. This time, the other side lost one person, but my tribe had one more worshipper than last time. I think the victory or defeat will be of great benefit to our tribe.
And this time it is carried out in a place familiar to our clan, so it is naturally more powerful. As long as we plan carefully, the other clans will definitely be defeated."
After another middle-aged man closed his eyes and thought about it, he also spoke up and agreed, which was in support of what the old man said earlier.
Although the tribe has a Grand Council of Elders, the person who makes the final decision is still the highly respected patriarch, so everyone else naturally looks at the patriarch who is sitting solemnly.
"This matter requires careful planning and implementation of several key points before making a decision. There is no need to rush."
Patriarch Muren didn't show the slightest hint of strangeness. After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke.
