"The difference between us is not that big. All the Queen wants is your surrender. She will not change your language, clothes, or your beliefs. You are still the descendants of the Snail Girl."
Wang Lian looked at the clan leader Luoyao calmly.
"My message has been brought. The queen hopes you will reply as soon as possible. King Wu's patience is limited. If King Wu can't wait any longer, the Mengshe tribe will suffer."
After saying that, Wang Lian turned around and left slowly.
Everyone looked at Wang Lian's leaving figure, and the voices of quarrels immediately sounded:
"We must not take refuge in the witch. We are the descendants of the snail girl. We have been in the mountains for generations and are not from the Northern Dynasties."
"The witch is from the Northern Dynasty. She works for the Northern Dynasty and attempts to conquer us. It is absolutely unacceptable."
"I think it makes sense. Bamboo and Qielan are actually the same."
"We and Takebe are married, we can't betray Takebe."
The tribesmen were quarreling endlessly, and Luo Yao and Luo Miao frowned.
They thought more. If they didn't agree, Long Chen might come and kill them at any time. The consequence would be that the Luoyi tribe would be exterminated. The Mengshe tribe had already tried it.
But they couldn't accept taking refuge in Ji Xianxian.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
This is how the Central Plains people view the barbarians around them, and the same way the barbarians view the Central Plains people.
While everyone was arguing, someone else ran in.
"Chief, the envoy from King Zhao is here."
A man wearing clothes embroidered with bamboo leaves walked in.
Bamboo nobles and warriors can wear clothes embroidered with bamboo leaves, but ordinary people can only wear bamboo leaves on their heads.
"Clan leader."
Luoyao stood up immediately. This was King Zhao's envoy, and he must show respect.
"Does King Zhao know about the Mengshe tribe?"
Luo Yao asked eagerly.
The Mengshe tribe is the second largest tribe of the Zhao people. Their city wall was destroyed and the remaining tribesmen took refuge in Ji Xianxian. Luoyao was very worried and fearful.
Because of King Zhao’s
The queen is a woman from the Mengshe tribe. In the war with Ji Xianxian these years, the Mengshe tribe has been fighting very hard and many men and women have died.
King Zhao has always regarded the Mengshe tribe as his most reliable comrades.
But now, the Mengshe tribe has surrendered, and King Zhao's most reliable ally has betrayed him.
The envoy looked a little embarrassed and said: "King Zhao already knows that the Mengshe tribe was defeated by the demon girl because of Munro's betrayal."
"King Zhao sent me here to remind the clan leader to be careful of traitors within the clan and not to be attacked from within by traitors."
Luo Miao asked: "Where is King Zhao now? Doesn't he plan to kill Ji Xianxian? At least kill the traitor Munro."
The envoy said: "King Zhao has already sent out troops. All our warriors will be gathered. Your Luoyi Tribe will also gather its troops. Other tribes will also send people."
Luoyao asked: "Does King Zhao plan to besiege Niaoming Stream?"
The messenger shook his head and said: "No need for the time being, you gather your troops and wait for orders."
Luoyao was wondering, why did King Zhao not attack Niaoming Stream when he brought his troops?
Is he afraid of Long Chen? Or is he waiting for something?
"Why doesn't King Zhao attack?"
Luoyin suddenly asked.
The envoy said displeasedly: "This is King Zhao's decision. If you have any questions, you can ask King Zhao."
Luoyin chuckled.
"That's all King Zhao said, be careful."
After the messenger finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Luoyao watched the envoy leave, his expression becoming more and more troubled.
Luoyin picked up the hookah, took two puffs, and said slowly: "King Zhao knew that the Mengshe tribe had betrayed him, but he was helpless."
Luo Miao said: "My guess is that after Yan Tong died, King Zhao got the news and led his troops to the Mengshe tribe to prepare to unite with the Mengshe tribe.
Shebu takes revenge."
"But when he arrived nearby, he heard that Mengshe's tribe had betrayed him. He had no choice but to stay nearby."
Luoyi smoked a hookah and said slowly: "This shows a problem. King Zhao is afraid of King Wu."
Luoyao frowned deeper and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
At this time, all the generals in the hall stopped talking.
At this time, it was not about expressing their own opinions, but about making up their own minds. They did not dare to speak nonsense.
"Let's wait and see what happens. Our soldiers must assemble, not only to prevent the demon girl and Long Chen from sneak attacks, but also to prepare to deal with King Zhao, but don't move and let them fight on their own."
The snail spit out a puff of light smoke.
Words like alliances are all false, and tribal alliances are only for profit.
In the past, Takebe was very powerful and they obeyed.
If Takebe dies and is defeated by Ji Xianxian, they will definitely not sacrifice themselves for Takebe.
"That makes sense, so be it."
Luoyao nodded and ordered Zhubu to enter a state of combat readiness, strengthen peripheral security, and assemble soldiers.
After Wang Lian left, she saw a commotion behind her.
Wang Lian's heart moved slightly, and she hurried down the mountain and hid in the bushes on the roadside.
After a while, a man wearing bamboo leaf clothing came down.
Wang Lian has been fighting with Lin Menghan and Zhube for many years, and she knows that this is Zhube's person, and his identity is unusual.
"What is he here for? To make contact?"
The man hurried forward, and Wang Lian followed quietly behind him.
The two walked one behind the other on the mountain road for two days, and the man finally entered the forest near Black Dragon Pond.
Wang Lian hid in the bushes and found many Zhubu soldiers and horses near the Black Dragon Pond.
King Zhao is here!
Wang Lian immediately made a judgment and quietly retreated.
Leaving the Black Dragon Pond, Wang Lian climbed over the Savage Valley,
Return to Birdsong Stream.
Lin Menghan is enjoying flowers with Li Heiniu.
Birdsong Stream has flowers in bloom all year round and is very lively.
"Why is that tree half-flowered?"
Li Heiniu pointed to a big tree in the valley in the distance, where a red azalea was blooming brilliantly.
Lin Menghan said: "A rhododendron grew on the fallen leaves of that big tree."
Li Heiniu had never seen anything like this before and said, "It's really strange that there are trees growing on trees."
Just as he was talking, Wang Lian hurried over and reported: "General Lin, I found King Zhao in the Black Dragon Pond to the west of the Savage Valley!"
Lin Menghan was taken aback and asked: "Are you sure?"
Wang Lian swallowed her saliva and said, "I'm sure. After I arrived at the Luoyi tribe, I found the envoy from the Zhu tribe. I followed him to the Black Dragon Pond and discovered King Zhao's troops."
Lin Menghan sent an envoy to look for Wang Lian yesterday, thinking that Wang Lian was killed by the Luoyi tribe, or that something unexpected happened along the way.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lian actually followed Zhubu's envoy and discovered King Zhao.
"You come with me!"
The three of them hurried to the Mountain God Cave, where Long Chen was accompanying Ji Xianxian to watch birds.
Ji Xianxian held a telescope in her hand, pointing at a bird in the valley and laughing.
"King Wu, Madam, we found King Zhao in Black Dragon Pond!"
Li Menghan said excitedly.
Ji Xianxian immediately put away the telescope and asked in surprise: "Where is it?"
Wang Lian said: "I saw it with my own eyes in Black Dragon Pond."
Ya'er had already come out with the map. Ji Xianxian pointed at it and said: "Here."
Long Chen looked carefully, then calculated the distance, and said: "Only bring the elite there, we can get there in one day!"
The elites Long Chen was talking about were not soldiers, but five people named Li Heiniu.
"Leave now?"
Ji Xianxian was very excited. After fighting for many years, he finally killed King Zhao.
