From Chief to Ball

"Send it back. The Wei family is very strong, and Wei Xi's father is very powerful. When he was a child in Huacheng, Hua said that whoever saw the source of the great river in the future, and whoever planted the tribe's flag on the seashore, could become the next leader of the tribe. He was still young at the time, but he encouraged some of his tribe to follow him to leave Dahe to conquer the land of Xirong and become the leader of the West. Although he was beaten by his father, he took him away when he was very young. The young clansmen in their 40s are very powerful. Tigers can’t give birth to wolf cubs.”

He looked up at Chen Jian, and said with a smile, "You know what to do, but you came to ask me."

Chen Jian smiled and said, "I thought it was a piece of meat, and our two clans can eat it together."

"It's not meat, it's not weaker than your tribe and I can't eat it. It's just that after Hua's death, their tribe really migrated westward. I thought they would stay in their homeland and compete for the leadership position."

Chen Jian imagined the star-studded era more than 20 years ago that he heard from the stories, and secretly regretted that he was born too late.

E Yue seemed to be reminiscing about her childhood, and she said slowly after a long time: "Ji Xia, when I told you to attack the scalping tribe in the north, I would never send troops to attack your city, do you believe me?"

"I said that when you go to clean up the Beidi settlement, I will never send troops to attack your city, do you believe it?"

After the two people finished speaking, they both laughed, and they answered if they didn't answer.

E Yue said directly: "I have two proposals. You and I will send troops together, go to Beidi first, and then deal with those tribes who scalped their scalps. All of them will capture half of the tribe. But you and I both know that this is not good. I don't want to let the tribe Death, you don't want your clansmen to die either. Unless Hua is born again, no one else has such prestige, can command each tribe, and there is no way for each tribe to hand over the soldiers to one person."

"When I was young, someone gave Hua Yi a baby goose with two heads, and the baby goose died soon. The same is true for the army, with two heads, it cannot survive. I can't hand over my tribe to You command, and you will never hand over the tribe to me."

Chen Jian nodded and said, "I hoped to send troops with you at the beginning, but I was only worried that if I left your tribe, I could defeat that scalping tribe myself."

"Similarly, although Beidi's settlements are temporarily gathered together because I captured slaves, I am not afraid, but I am more afraid of you."

It is a joy to be respected by opponents. Before the emergence of weapons that can destroy the world, the basis of trust is either a common enemy; or absolutely unequal power: tigers 100% trust that mice will not hurt themselves , but the same mouse will not be complacent because of this trust.

The two of them were silent for a while, and E Yue said: "The second suggestion... I will send my two favorite sons to your city, one is the number nine, my oldest son is also the smartest, you The clansmen in E City will tell you that I am not lying. The other one is in charge of the clan’s food with his mother. Three months, I will pick them up after three months. And you will also send your clansman.”

"I don't have a son yet, but I have many brothers, or the leader of our council?"

"Leader? After the Six Divisions appeared in your tribe, the leader can't prove your sincerity. On the contrary, you really broke your oath. Not only will I not kill them, but I will also take good care of them and send them back to you. Let you Come, the chief of the tribe, she is your sister, take her back in three months."

"As Ji Xia, I agree. As her elder brother, I want to ask her. Although she will definitely agree, I can't agree to you now."

Chen Jian didn't agree immediately, but E Yue was more relieved, nodded and said: "Okay, I will let my two sons come to the mall to wait for her after I go back. Do you love her very much?"

"When I came back late from my first hunt, she cried, and the tears fell on my hands and flowed into my heart."

Chen Jian raised his head, recalling the tear a year ago, the tear that made him truly accept his brother's identity, the tear that truly found a trace of emotion in this era.After all, he did not belong to this world.

From that tear, he treated this younger sister with what he thought was the correct attitude of being a brother.

Feelings come from getting along, and they are the rewards of giving each other. From that opportunity, they gradually approached, and finally turned from a drop of tears into a continuous river, and the origin of this wave was just a drop of bitter worry.

E Yue looked at Chen Jian's warm and unconscious smile, and felt more relieved, and said: "Tomorrow I will prepare sacrifices. You and I will sacrifice to our ancestors and gods. The two clans will become brothers and relatives. Within a year, the two clans will become brothers." If you don’t fight, the violators will no longer be protected by their ancestors, and their souls will be lost forever after death.”

As for a year later, who can say for sure?Not to mention the two clans, there is a pair of uncles and nephews who will never die.The oath is for the tribe to see, and mutual quality is for oneself to believe.

Chapter 6 Covenant

If you can't help but believe, the quality is useless.Do it with forgiveness, and it is necessary to be polite, although there is no quality, who can tell the difference?Gou Youming believes that the hairs of streams and marshes, the vegetables of apples and algae, the utensils of baskets and pots, and the water of filth and filth, can be recommended to ghosts and gods, but can be ashamed of princes. How can we use quality when we use etiquette?

It can be seen from this that Xia and E are not a country of gentlemen. If they are gentlemen, there is no need to exchange hostages at all, but they are both villains full of interests.

Trust needs a process, and the common enemy does not exist now. The tribes in the north are not worth mentioning in the eyes of both people, and they are far from reaching the situation where the two tribes need to be united.

The agreed time of three months for the quality change is just enough to finish the affairs of the respective tribes, especially harvesting and autumn planting.

"We will provide some food and clothing for your son in our city, and he can even go out to hunt in the city, but we need our people to follow."

"This is optional, food and clothing expenses and slave servants I will send to go with him. Don't worry about your sister on my side. All expenses will be counted as nine as an example. The leader does not judge the size by age, I will treat you as you like." My sister treats her normally."

"Since the oath has been sworn to become a clan of brothers, part of the guards in the mall can also be removed. In the future, merchant exchanges between the two clans will not be obstructed, and goods will not be taxed. Violators will be regarded as betrayal of the oath."

E Yue nodded and said, "Naturally."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and now his tribe is eager for exchange, and he never thought of asking the merchants who come and go to collect goods tax. If Chen Jian hadn't mentioned this matter, he would never have thought of it. .

Since it is harmless, there is nothing wrong with adding a sentence to the oath, and now he has a request from Chen Jian, hoping that he can send Xiacheng's wheat official to help their tribe cultivate.

Chen Jian thought for a while and agreed. There is no good fertilizer. In fact, the yield of this farming method is not very high. The Eyue tribe does not know how to pile up manure and manure. After fermentation, the result of directly piled up with cow dung is likely to crush the seedlings to death and harden the ground.

"Tianguan can teach you how to grow wheat. Our tribe wants some donkeys. You have seen the yield of this method of farming. A few words from Tianguan are worth fifty donkeys, right?"

E Yue nodded and said: "I don't want to produce as much as your tribe, even if it is less, it is worth fifty donkeys. I will send people back to come. Don't worry this time, there will be no gelding donkeys." one of them."

"Well, in addition to these fifty heads, we will exchange another fifty heads of wheat seeds, a total of one hundred heads, and send them as soon as possible."

E Yue didn't know why Chen Jian wanted a donkey all of a sudden. The donkey had a stubborn temper and was short. It was fine for children and women to ride on it, but it would be impossible to ride a donkey in war.

But he didn't ask too much, instead he asked his guards to call a few clansmen, and asked them to go back and inform his two sons to drive the donkey to the mall as soon as possible.

Chen Jian mentioned Yuqian'er's request by the way, and asked for an extra one for Red Fish, and E Yue agreed, and asked the clansmen to bring the hairpin first.

The rest of the time was for the two to discuss the oath together. E Yue thought the oath was very simple, but when Chen Jian started to talk, he realized that many things were far from being as simple as he thought.

For example, the laws of the two tribes are different, the same crime may be beheaded in Xiacheng, and punished as a slave in Echeng, then the two tribes may violate the law when they communicate, which tribe's law will be followed then? To judge?

Chen Jian only gave a few examples, and E Yue fell into deep thought.

"Be clear in advance, it's better to talk about it later. The oath is for the tribe to know. We should discuss these things now."

"You think carefully, I didn't think so much."

"The war is only temporary. After you have finished fighting Beidi and I have cleaned up those scalped tribes, our two tribes still need to communicate. The oath is for war, but not all for war."

"Go ahead, I'll listen."

According to his past habits, Chen Jian listed all possible situations in an orderly manner. Among them, if the tribe does not need to know, the two people agree to it and keep it in mind; Time to say it one by one.

E Yue thought it was a very simple oath, but after discussing it until the evening, there was no result, and a covenant that both parties could accept was agreed upon.

The covenant is basically a suggestion put forward by Chen Jian. After E Yue agrees, he will continue to propose the next one. Many of them are things that E Yue did not think of, but after listening carefully, he thinks it is very reasonable. Admired.

At noon the next day when the sun was at its hottest, all the people of the two clans in the mall stood behind the two leaders, and on the altars they built were placed cattle, sheep, and deer.

Wei Xi and his clan were also invited, and several of the oaths were for them to hear.

Eyue and Chen Jian made a blood alliance, and at the same time swore with their ancestors and surnames that they would never violate it, otherwise the whole tribe would be condemned by heaven and earth, and the tribe would suffer disaster.

When the two began to recite the content of the oath to the heavens and the ancestors, all the people behind were stunned, and they never thought that an oath would say so many words.

There are seven articles of the covenant.

First: The two clans have since formed an alliance of brothers. If one party wants to withdraw from the alliance, it needs to notify the other party one year in advance. If it does not notify in advance, it will automatically continue.

Second: The leaders of the two tribes are not judged by age. The tribesmen must respect the other leader as they respect their own leader, but the other leader does not have the right to command the other tribe.

Third: When either of the two tribes is attacked by the rest of the tribes and retreats to the city, the other must spare no effort to help.
