[Ai โ Shang โ Xiao โณ said ยง net .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
A few hundred miles to the east of the You's habitat, there is a large mountain range, and in the middle of a valley covered with green trees, there is a large flat land covered with tents.
The number and area of tents in this area are not less than the number of habitats of the You clan, or more than thirty percent, which shows that it is also a large tribal group.
In a huge tent in the center of the valley tent, there were more than a dozen people sitting upright at this time, looking at the direction where everyone was sitting, divided into two sides, and it was even more clear that these more than ten people did not belong to a single tribe.
Sitting in the middle of the right seat on the left side is an old man with gray hair, a total of eight people sitting on either side of him, one of them an old man and a middle-aged man, who are meditating with their eyes closed at the moment.
It can be seen that these two people do not seem to pay much attention to the discussion between the two parties present, and the remaining six people should belong to the same clan, and these people are all old men in their fifties and sixties.
On the other side of the right, there were three guests, all of whom were young and strong men, probably from other tribes.
The three of them were dressed in empty silk fabrics, and they all had a fierce beast skin around their waists, looking rough and strong, and their faces all had a solemn aura.
"Patriarch Lu, this matter is indeed worthy of the attention of you and my clan, my Huan clan has already sent many batches of clansmen to investigate.
And it was the clansmen who had designed to capture several members of the You clan, and the news obtained under torture would not be false, the genuine enshrinement of the You clan had fallen, and Huan Dong came thousands of miles this time, and he wanted to discuss an alliance with the nobles, and he would not lie to deceive him. โ
Among the three strong men, a young man of nearly thirty years old, with a majestic face and a compelling aura on his body, spoke to the white-haired and gray-haired old man in the center on the left.
"Huan Dong, you deliberately traveled far to inform me of this confidential matter of the Lu clan, do you want my clan and the You clan, the two neighboring clans, to start a large-scale war.
After that, I and the You clan will both lose, and then let your Huan clan sit big, and act like this, do you think my Lu clan will not be able to see through it?"
Without waiting for the patriarch of the Lu clan to respond to this, a clan elder beside him had already spoken, his tone was extremely unkind, and his face was even more gloomy.
The patriarch of the Lu clan wanted to answer, but when he heard this reply, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared without nodding without answering.
"provoked a large-scale decisive battle between your two neighboring clans, Huan Dong thought that he definitely didn't have this intention, and the clansmen of the You clan were not much less than your clansmen.
And although it has lost one worshipper tourist, there are still three donors. If you only compete with your two clans, I am afraid that you will really lose both, and your clan's losses will be much greater.
Whoever made the people of the You clan have always been fierce in force, but if they form an alliance with our ring clan, there is a good chance that they will win a big victory. However, I am afraid that I may eventually accept the angry attack of Yan Jingcheng's royal army.
Maybe you and I have just slaughtered the You tribe, and the Wang army of Yan Jingcheng will kill you and me in a stable manner.
However, the host tribe of Yan Jingcheng's hunting conference next year is the Yue clan, if the Yue clan advances the competition of this hunting conference.
Not only can you take advantage of the lack of a high-end combat power in the You clan to officially enshrine this high-end combat power and rank them in the elimination list in one fell swoop, but you can also assign all the vast lands in the west that participated in this hunting conference to your clan. โ
The strong man named Huan Dong, in the face of the elder's questioning, did not hesitate at all, still replied in a calm tone, and directly stated the purpose of his Huan clan this time.
"Well, what the young patriarch of Huan Dong said is also quite insightful, if this matter can be successful, it will indeed be extremely beneficial to my Lu clan, but you and I have never wanted to communicate, and we do not fight.
This time, your Huan clan is so concerned about my Lu clan, and directly told you about such a plan, but I don't know what the nobles think?"
The patriarch of the Lu clan in the center on the left side heard what the young man opposite said, his eyes flashed, and after closing his eyes and thinking, he spoke calmly, and at the same time his eyes were firmly fixed on the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to see how the young man's expression changed.
"Of course, if I don't have a purpose, I naturally can't take the trust of the nobles.
Huan Dong heard that there was a woman as gentle as Tianlan Lake and as beautiful as flowers blooming, and Huan Dong hereby implored the patriarch to give me the woman.
As long as that woman is married to my Huandong, she is the wife of the young patriarch of my Huan clan, and you and I will become in-laws, and it will naturally be a close alliance, and we will definitely be able to work together in the future. โ
Hearing the Lu clan patriarch speak and ask each other, the young man who was sitting upright suddenly stood up, and while speaking, his body was curved, offering his hand to salute, and his tone became extremely sincere and pleading.
"Your Huan clan sent you as the young patriarch Huan Dong to marry the pearl of my Lu clan, this is not a matter that cannot be discussed.
However, just based on these words, I want to marry Lu Qing'er back to your Huan clan, but it is not enough to think about it, and I must use the land south of Linglong Mountain as a bride price. โ
Intermarriage between tribes is also common among tribes, where men are honored and women are used as foils or tools to support their families.
There is no objection to intermarriage with other tribes, and this can also ensure that the blood between the tribes will not be closely related, which is also summed up by the experience of each tribe after many years.
Although the people of each clan work together for the sake of the multiplication of the group, the matter of marriage is the work of the whole clan.
Generally speaking, as long as the elders of both parties or their own men and women are willing, as long as a certain bride price is given, they can successfully marry women of other tribes.
But at this time, the words of the patriarch of the Lu clan and the conditions for the bride price proposed were far beyond Lu Dong's bottom of his heart.
It's normal to want to come here, because this pearl of the Lu clan, a young girl named Lu Jing'er, has a beautiful face that is widely spread in the entire eastern and western regions of Yan Jing City.
Before that, it was not only Huan Dong who proposed to propose marriage, but before he proposed it, people from two tribes had also sent envoys to the door to propose marriage.
As the so-called odd goods can live, since there are such favorable conditions, the patriarchs and elders of these tribes know how to make full use of them.
"Hmph, the nobility is too difficult for the strong. You must know that the land south of Linglong Mountain is more than 100 miles in size, and it has always been the place where my Huan clan values the rest of winter the most.
This is absolutely impossible to do, but this time the ring Dong arrived, since with great sincerity, my ring clan clan elders have a resolution, if the nobles should accept my ring Dong to ask for relatives, willing to be close to the three ring valleys in the southwest of the nobility as a bride price, I don't know if the patriarch can agree. โ
Although Huan Dong is young, he is also a visitor. Since he will not open his mouth because of the other party, he will speak ill of each other, and he is extremely calm at this time, and he is very well prepared.
Hearing the condition he put forward at this time, that is, the other six Lu clan elders present at the meeting, they all nodded secretly.
The new condition proposed by Huan Dong is that the area that intersects with the southeast of the Lu clan may also enter the two clans in normal times, although there has been no large-scale conflict with the sharp split, but there have been several times because of the prey and tension against each other.
At this time, Huan Dong said this, and regarded it as a bride price for the alliance, and seemed to have made a great concession and took out the resources of the three surrounding mountain areas.
In fact, the losses of the Ring Clan are limited, and the reduction is only to restrain their people from entering this small area to hunt for beasts for the time being.
However, it is rare for a young clan leader who is so flexible and obedient to the situation among the people or leaders of various tribes who advocate force.
The patriarch of the Lu clan seemed to be a little moved when he saw the elders of the various clans, he immediately coughed lightly, his expression was still very calm, and he said:
"Lu Jing'er is a pearl of my clan, and she is also the little granddaughter of the elder of my clan, so she naturally has to treat the matter of Xuan Xu seriously.
The patriarch has already spoken, and Lu Jing'er's marriage will be decided at the warrior battle of the hunting conference, as long as the warriors of which ethnic group can impress Qing'er's heart, they can marry her.
If the young patriarch of Huan Shao also intends to marry Qing'er, he must behave well at that time, and at this time, the elders of my clan will hold the things proposed by the nobles, so why don't the young patriarchs go down and rest first. โ
Huan Dong heard the words of the patriarch of the Lu clan, and his face was only a little serious, he didn't think that he could achieve his wish with just his words.
The three of them greeted each other, all stood up, and after saluting, they exited the tent of the meeting of the elders here, and then went to rest elsewhere under the leadership of the Lu people.
"Patriarch, this Huan Dong's words are the same as the news obtained by my clan's inquiry, it seems that the You clan has really lost an offering this time.
Even if they can go to Yan Jing City and spend a lot of resources to invite another worshipper, they can't get it in a short period of time, if they can really get the Yo clan to apply for a year in advance to hold a hunting conference, it will be an excellent thing for the eastern land that our clan wants. โ
Seeing Huan Dong and the other three people leave the tent, everyone in the tent did not speak immediately, and after waiting for a long time to make sure that they were far away, the old man who had been sitting with his eyes closed opened his eyes and said in an extremely indifferent tone.
"What Zong You Chang said is good, although the hunting conference is based on the tribal generals of various tribes as the object of competition, but it is the absolute dominant force, and it is the worship of the clan that plays the main combat force.
The last time the hunting conference was to secretly invite another warrior to worship, so that our clan lost the advantage in the comparison and was defeated by his clan.
A large area of rich land has been carved out, and the real worship of his You clan has died this time, and our clan secretly has one more warrior than last time, and there is great hope for victory. โ
