After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.
Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...
On the other side of the trap, although Ming felt that Leng's conditions were too excessive, he was not the one who could make decisions. Even if he wanted to refuse, Qiao Yu had to do it.
When he turned around to look for Qiao Yu at Leng's urging, he saw Qiao Yu riding away on horseback.
He said helplessly to Leng: "Our leader has gone into the tribe for something. I can only pass on your message after she comes out."
When he said this, even someone as kind-hearted as him couldn't help but feel a little gloating.
Leng was stunned. Seeing that the lips of an older companion beside him were beginning to turn blue, he stood up anxiously and accused: "What's going on? How could your leader leave us here to freeze and run into the tribe? Do you still want to increase the number of people in the tribe? We put forward the conditions, and you can negotiate. How can you be so hard-hearted and let us freeze here?"
"Ha, our leader wanted to send someone to rescue you just now. What happened? You didn't come up by yourselves, but insisted on using Qiao to make conditions. Since you are so awesome, just wait. Anyway, you are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of freezing?" Shanshi said, and walked to the side to chat with the people in his tribe, and disappeared from Leng's sight.
The Shanyin tribe had originally agreed to have Leng negotiate terms with the tribe's leader before surrendering, but they hadn't expected the Dragon tribe to adopt this attitude.
Now, not only has the female leader disappeared, but even some of the onlookers have left, looking as if they don't even bother to pay attention. How can we even talk about this? You know, the other side isn't anxious, but they are. Can't you see that some people are almost overwhelmed?
They cherish their own lives, not their own. If anyone can't stand the cold, they'll definitely surrender first, not risking their own lives for the sake of the collective good. Then their alliance will crumble. By then, let alone negotiations, it would be merciful for the Dragon Tribe not to punish these leaders to death.
Just look at the situation before you. Although the leader of the Dragon Tribe is a woman, her heart is crueler than anyone else. Mu Guan and Chen sympathized with them, so she let them take the risk; when they wanted to take a chance, she ignored them and walked away.
Such a strong and shrewd person was not someone they could control. No wonder a woman, so young, could become the leader of the Dragon Tribe.
Leng's mind was working quickly, his tone softened, and he began to play the emotional card for Ming.
"Ming, I know you're a good man with a kind heart. How could you bear to watch us, your former brothers, suffer? You don't know how miserable our lives have been since we were captured by the God Tribe. We have to do the heaviest work every day and still don't have enough to eat. We're beaten and scolded for the slightest dissatisfaction. Look at how skinny we are, and then look at the animal skins we're wearing. It's so cold, and we're almost dead in this icy and snowy place with just these few clothes on."
"Can you help me find your leader and explain the conditions I just mentioned to her? We were from the same tribe, after all, and some of you grew up with you. For the sake of our past friendship, please put in some good words for us. We will definitely remember this favor and be extremely grateful."
Ming's eyes were extremely complicated.
He shook his head: "Qiao Yu will not agree to the conditions you proposed. If you insist on her agreeing to those conditions before she is willing to come up, I think you should stop making trouble and just stay down there peacefully."
Although Shanshi had walked to the side, he still pricked up his ears to listen to the movement here. Hearing Ming's words, he almost burst out laughing.
There was no other way. The people handling this matter, whether standing on the trap or below it, were all originally from the Shanyin Tribe. He was the only one from the Valley Tribe. He had to keep a close eye on these people for Qiao Yu to prevent them from becoming disloyal and causing trouble.
Fortunately, although Ming is soft-hearted and easily influenced, he is not a fool.
Leng's tone softened. "I'm vying for the position of elder to protect the interests of these dozens of people. You don't know that when we were in the God Tribe, we had no rights and our lives were in the hands of others. But if you are an elder in the tribe and can protect us and prevent us from suffering like we did in the God Tribe, I'm willing to waive the third condition."
As he spoke, he nudged the person next to him with his elbow, suggesting that he was pretending to faint. When he finished speaking, the person fell to the ground.
Leng was horrified and called out the man's name: "Xia, what's wrong with you? I hope nothing happens to you."
As he spoke, he raised his head and pleaded with Ming, "Ming, please, go get your leader and ask her to talk to me. We can discuss anything. As long as you let us live and live like human beings, and don't bully or exploit us, we are willing to surrender."
Ming originally felt sympathy for them, and when he saw that Leng's tone had softened and that he seemed willing to compromise on the terms, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find Yu."
As he said this, he turned around and looked around, then asked Shanshi, "Did Yu tell her what she was going to do when she returned to the tribe?"
Shanshi shook his head: "I don't know."
Ming looked around and was just about to go for a morning run to the tribe when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
He was overjoyed and looked towards the tribe, only to see Qiao Yu coming towards him on horseback.
He quickly went over and said, "Yu, take a look! Some of them have fainted from the cold. If we don't rescue them, they'll probably get seriously ill. They said they're willing to surrender."
Shanshi couldn't help but roll his eyes behind him.
Qiao Yu said "Oh" calmly, dismounted, and instructed the squad leader next to him, "The anesthetic should have worn off for some people. Send someone to escort a group over first. As for how to detain them, Man is there. Just follow his instructions on how to do it."
Seeing the team leader respond and go to do his job, Qiao Yu turned around and asked Ming Dao, who looked anxious, "What did they say?"
Ming was afraid of Qiao Yu, but he didn't dare to hide anything. He repeated Leng Ti's conditions and what he said afterwards to Qiao Yu in detail.
Leng found a way out for himself, and Qiao Yu also felt that he had been left out in the cold.
She walked to the edge of the trap, looked at the people below and said coldly: "Let me ask you one more question, if I don't agree to your conditions, would you rather die than come up?"
Leng didn't dare to remain silent or resist passively this time.
He said, "Not really. Chief, we only ask for the same rights as the people in your tribe. Isn't that too much?"
Qiao Yu glanced at him calmly: "I won't ask you, I'll ask someone else."
