After everything was negotiated between the two parties, Xu Chen stayed for one more day and guided a group of men from a poor tribe who were learning to smelt to smelt a furnace of tin ore again. After seeing that they had almost completely understood all the smelting steps, he stopped and set off.
, leaving some rattan baskets with pottery, fishing nets, hemp ropes, salt crystals, and left with more than a hundred kilograms of smelted tin.
When leaving, Xu Chen did not forget to extend his warm invitation to some poor people to attend the annual Mother's Day gathering of the Ba people in March. The great witch said he would seriously consider it.
When passing by the Lapp tribe, he deceived the Lapp tribe again, saying that the Gonghuo tribe was developing very well now, and there were already five tribes living together there, and he also described to them some bright development prospects in the future.
, I hope they can return to the embrace of the Gonghuo tribe and move the whole tribe to the Gonghuo Basin. The Ba tribe and the Gonghuo tribe will help them build new homes. I also hope that they can also go to the Ba tribe to participate in the Mother's Day in spring in March.
, received the blessing of the great witch, and received the care and protection of the mother goddess.
The Lapp people have now seen the power of the Ba Alliance and the Gonghuo Alliance, and know that even poor people are willing to associate and trade with them enthusiastically. Therefore, they can't help but regret leaving the Gonghuo Alliance, so they have expressed their willingness to return.
The Gonghuo tribe hopes that Xu Chen can say a few nice words to the great witch after he returns. In the spring of March, on the Mother's Day, they will definitely go to the Ba tribe to worship the Mother Goddess.
Therefore, this impromptu trip to find tin can be regarded as a complete success.
Three days later, Xu Chen and others arrived at the Qia tribe.
He summoned the Qia clan chief and several leaders to explain the transactions with the poor people, hoping that they would be prepared to receive and transit him.
If there are poor people who are unwilling to go to the Gonghuo Clan after sending tin, the Qia Clan will help transport and exchange it. If they are willing to go, they will arrange rafts and guides to take them to the Gonghuo Clan to visit the two shamans, and give the tin to the Lei Clan to help exchange it.
.
Regarding Xu Chen's arrangement, the leader of the Qia clan did not dare to shirk in any way, and quickly agreed, saying that everything would be done well. Xu Chen also reciprocated, saying that he had already discussed with the great shaman of the Gonghuo clan about war compensation and labor reform.
It will be written off soon, and all the prisoners who are still participating in labor reform in the Ba Nationality Alliance will be released after the beginning of spring, so the entire Qia clan will shed tears of gratitude.
Taking a bamboo raft down the river from the Qia tribe, it only takes half a day to reach the Gonghuo tribe.
Xu Chen stayed here for one night and summoned the great witch of the Gonghuo Clan, the little witch of the Five Ghosts Clan, as well as the heads of the five tribes and a group of leaders to explain the transaction process with the poor tribes, and asked them to do a good job in reception in the future.
, have peaceful and friendly exchanges, and at the same time urge them to conscientiously complete spring plowing and sowing, and must not be careless and so on.
Early the next morning, Xu Chen took the accompanying Ba tribe hunters and twenty captives from the Gonghuo tribe on bamboo rafts down several rivers, and officially embarked on their return journey.
This long trip officially set sail on the first day of October, and it is now late December.
Just because the tin mine was discovered, a poor man came and went on an impromptu trip, which took seventeen days.
The waterway from Gonghuo Basin back to the Ba tribe is nearly two hundred miles long, and traveling against the current will take at least six days.
However, due to the desperate rowing efforts of a group of hunters who were eager to return home, and in some places where the sails could be hung to take advantage of the slanting wind, the speed turned out to be much faster than expected. At noon on the fifth day, fine snowflakes were falling.
Among them, six bamboo rafts had already arrived near the Uzu.
At this time, at the mouth of the Wushui River, a group of hunters were rowing a raft and setting up a net to catch fish. When they saw the bamboo raft coming up the river and the dragon and king flags fluttering in the wind, they suddenly cheered loudly and excitedly.
Soon, Long, who was hunting on the river beach, also learned the news and rode straight over with several strong hunters. As the horn sounded, more and more Uzbek hunters came after hearing the news, and people gathered on the shore.
Nearly a hundred people cheered loudly, and the sound shook the riverbank for miles.
Seeing such a lively scene, Xu Chen couldn't help but burst into tears.
Once upon a time, the two tribes were as fierce as each other, but now, there is almost no barrier between the two tribes, and they have almost completely integrated into one, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other.
Although Xu Chen was eager to return home, he was already almost at the door of his house. In addition, he needed to explain some things to Long in advance, so he ordered the bamboo raft to dock.
Facing Xu Chen's return from a long journey of several months, Long was particularly excited and disappointed.
After he was saved by Xu Chen's miraculous medical skills, he was full of admiration and gratitude for Xu Chen, and always protected him to repay his life-saving grace.
But what happened next was not only dazzling for him, but the entire Uzbek Alliance was turned upside down as a result. The young man who needed his secret protection quickly rose to become the most dazzling star of the alliance tribe, and has now become three or four large-scale
The undisputed leader of the alliance.
His Majesty the Witch King's order is now the highest action order for all tribes.
No tribal leader or hunter is willing to disobey.
And Xu Chen's nearly three-month long and far-reaching unprecedented exploration journey pushed his reputation to an unprecedented peak, almost eclipsing the light of the great witches and gods.
The harvest of this trip was not only the surrender of the Yu Gong clan and the Five Ghost clan, but also Xu Chen's unparalleled courage and wisdom, which activated a passionate desire for adventure and conquest among the hunters of all tribes.
As Xu Chen's die-hard supporter, Long's journey and conquest had nothing to do with him. Instead, Lei, who was defeated and driven away by him, became the biggest beneficiary.
Lei led the Lei Tribe and the Gonghuo Tribe to assist Xu Chen in conquering the Yu Gong Clan, and then joined the expedition team to conquer the Five Ghost Clan, and then went even further to the lower reaches of the Wulong River for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Although I don’t know what tribes there are in the lower reaches, Xu Chen’s ability to come back safely shows that the exploration trip was safe and sound. Lei, who followed the journey, will definitely gain strong popularity. On the contrary, he, who claims to be the most powerful of the Uzbek tribe,
The brave warriors could only stay in the small place of the Uzbek tribe and hunt and fish all day long, living a boring life for decades.
Therefore, after Xu Chen came ashore, the longan with red eyes tightly grabbed Xu Chen's arm and shook it vigorously: "Your Majesty, the Witch King, you must take me with you next time you go out!"
"Take me, take me!"
A large group of Uzbek hunters all shouted excitedly.
When Xu Chen went out to fight, he had meat to eat, but this time, no one from the Uzbek tribe participated, and they gained nothing in the end.
This made all the Uzbek people, who were once the most powerful tribe in the Six Tribes Alliance, feel a deep sense of loss.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. I went out in a hurry this time, and I didn't expect many things. Next time I have the chance to go out, you will be the main force!"
Xu Chen was surrounded in the middle. In order to appease the Uzbek people, he had to use a few vague words to calm him down first, otherwise he would be surrounded on the river beach today and unable to go back.
"嘢嚯~~"
They were just a bunch of savages, so they naturally wouldn't think that Xu Chen was talking nonsense, so a burst of warm cheers broke out in an instant.
Xu Chen also got some relaxation and free time from this. He told Long a few words about the release of a group of prisoners, and asked him to inform the Hu and Muya tribes of the news in the past few days, and try to release these people before the beginning of spring.
.
Long was a little reluctant, but he also knew that he had no say in the matter, so he still seriously agreed.
"Take these bamboo roots back to some open areas and plant them near the foot of the mountain!"
Xu Chen asked someone to take out a few bamboo roots with shoots from several rattan baskets full of soil and handed them to Long. He also pointed to the bamboo raft and briefly explained to him the benefits of bamboo.
Long was also very surprised and solemnly said that he would arrange for someone to plant and take good care of it.
After explaining these two things, Xu Chen got back on the raft and prepared to set off. Long quickly reminded him that he could ride a horse to escort Xu Chen back first. However, Xu Chen shook his head and refused, saying that if everyone came out together, they would go back together. In order to let the men and women of the tribe
The old man knew the news in advance, and he asked Long to arrange for someone to ride back first to report the news.
So the bamboo raft left the shore again and rowed upstream amidst the crowds. A large group of hunters followed the shore and ran and shouted. Long arranged for several hunters to send the news of Xu Chen's return back to the Uzbek people, and then personally took a few
The companions rode straight towards the Ba tribe.
Xu Chen is now the supreme military leader and backbone of the entire Ba Alliance tribe.
Even the head of the Wu tribe who had always been dissatisfied with Xu Chen has been complaining about Xu Chen since he left home.
Xu Chen is now a rich man, and the Uzbek people's fortune depends entirely on him. If someone outside the Uzbekistan fails to come back, the way for the Uzbek people to make a fortune by mining and smelting copper will be completely cut off.
Therefore, no matter whether they like him or hate him, they all still hope that Xu Chen can return safely this time.
The twin little witch sisters would arrange for hunters to ride on horseback to keep in touch with each other almost every two or three days. The big witch sister closely told her younger sister to arrange for someone to watch Xu Chen's return at the mouth of the river every day.
Therefore, the hunters who were hunting and fishing on the river beach were actually paying attention to the movements on the river all day long, waiting and waiting from early winter to the cold winter. It was almost spring, and Xu Chen finally came back.
Therefore, after the news was sent back to the Uzbek tribe, the entire Uzbek tribe erupted in joy. Men, women, old and young all braved the snowflakes and cheered on the river beach. A group of gray-haired chiefs also visited each other to express their excitement and excitement.
The little witch sister couldn't help herself. With tears streaming down her face, she rushed from the cave on the mountainside to the river beach at the foot of the mountain with her big crutch. If a large group of people hadn't stopped her, she would have had to run to the river beach in one breath.
I can't see Xu Chen.
But even though she was stopped, the little witch still refused to give up and shouted to prepare horses. She was going to ride to the Ba tribe.
However, the few usable horses have now been taken out to hunt by the dragon, leaving only a few pregnant and lactating mares left in the tribe.
Although the clan chief and a group of leaders tried hard to persuade him, the little witch refused to listen at all. She said that it would be the greatest disrespect for a witch to not welcome the Witch King when he returned, and the gods would definitely blame him. If she could not ride a horse, she would walk to the Ba clan.
Oh my god, it's freezing cold here. It'll be hard if the witch is frozen.
Faced with the fact that their own witch wanted to see Xu Chen, the clan leader and a group of leaders were anxious and helpless. In the end, they had no choice but to have two nursing mares brought over, saddled up, and then wrapped around the little witch.
After putting on thick animal skin clothes, a group of hunters were arranged to escort him to the Ba tribe.
So two mares and two half-sized foals, carrying the little witch on their backs, and escorted by a group of hunters, rushed out of the valley against the wind and snow, and soon disappeared in the increasingly heavy wind and snow.
The leader of the Wu tribe and a group of leaders stood on the river beach and watched from a distance until no one could be seen. Then they collectively sighed and looked back.
It was around this time last year, when Xu Chen conquered the Gonghuo tribe and returned in the heavy snow.
That great victory shocked the six tribes, and the Wu tribe all bowed their heads and recognized the leadership status of the Ba tribe and Xu Chen's leadership.
In just one year, the Uzbek people have undergone earth-shaking changes.
But in fact, the Ba people and other tribes have undergone even greater changes.
The original Uzbek Alliance only had six tribes. In just one year, it has now expanded to four alliance tribes, totaling a huge alliance of more than 20 large and small tribes.
In fact, this was just news that came back last month. No one knew about Xu Chen's contact with the poor tribe in the past few days.
If the news spreads, everyone will believe that this poor tribe will soon be integrated into this huge alliance family.
Then, as the leaders of the tribal alliance, the Ba people belong to the five major ethnic groups, and the territory they control will span a huge area of more than ten days on both sides of the Wulong River.
This is an unprecedented super alliance.
With their simple knowledge, the Uzbek tribe leader and a group of leaders could no longer imagine how to manage this huge alliance.
But in fact, Xu Chen doesn't seem to manage all the alliance tribes very much, but they are all very stable and docile.
The faster Xu Chen grows, the greater the pressure he puts on everyone.
And as he conquered more territories and tribes, the aura he accumulated became stronger, making everyone feel a sense of awe and impulse to worship him after seeing him.
The once powerful Wu tribe has become increasingly insignificant as Xu Chen continues to grow and expand, and has now become an ordinary tribe with just a larger number of people.
