Chapter 396: The truth lies only on the edge of the sword In

the central area of ​​the Teng tribe’s residential area, there are two courtyards of similar size.

One of them is a mud brick and tile house, where Jiang Xuan lives himself, and the other is a bamboo house with a bamboo and wood structure, with a large yard, which was specially prepared by Jiang Xuan for Chishao.

When Jiang Xuan brought Chishao to the bamboo house, Chishao found that it was almost exactly the same as the one he lived in the north. Even the yard was planted with various rare herbs.

She turned to look at Jiang Xuan, her eyes full of emotion.

Jiang Xuan said: "Sister, I had this bamboo house built according to the place where you lived before. How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Chishao nodded gently: "This bamboo house is well built, I am very satisfied."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "That's good. It's not easy for you to come to the central part. I'm afraid you won't be used to it and feel uncomfortable. Let's go and take a look inside the house."

Jiang Xuan pushed open the door of the bamboo house. The fire pit inside had already been lit. All kinds of daily necessities were even more complete than those in the north, and the food reserves were extremely rich and sufficient.

Chishao was shown around by Jiang Xuan and could feel Jiang Xuan's sincerity everywhere. She was deeply moved. If she were an ordinary person, she would probably have been moved to tears.

But she was a witch and the spiritual pillar of the people of the Teng tribe. No matter how moved she was, she could not cry in front of others. She could only hold Jiang Xuan's hand tightly, with a smile on her face almost all the time.

Shi Qiu, Jing Jie and others moved Chi Shao's luggage and belongings in, and diligently helped her put them in order, even cleaning the ceramic tripod and iron pot used for cooking.

In a good mood, Jiang Xuan cooked himself and made a sumptuous dinner for everyone using the special foods of the central region. He also invited the old witch to come and eat together.

Everyone was enjoying the food, reminiscing about the past, and talking about various interesting things that had happened recently. The scene was very harmonious and cheerful.

Everyone was very happy, except Fengcao.

Although she tried her best to conceal her inner anxiety and act like everyone else, the worry deep in her eyes was still seen by Chishao, who had extremely sharp observation skills.

After dinner, Chishao poked Jiang Xuan gently with her finger and gave him a veiled look.

After being reminded, Jiang Xuan soon discovered that something was wrong with Fengcao, so he made an excuse to go to the toilet and left the bamboo house.

After Jiang Xuan left, Fengcao immediately found an excuse to leave the bamboo house and quickly followed Jiang Xuan to the yard outside.

After getting outside, Jiang Xuan turned to look at Feng Cao and asked directly: "You look a little uneasy, did something happen?"

In response to Jiang Xuan's inquiry, Fengcao immediately told him that the Black Snake Tribe was about to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe.

"The Black Snake Tribe is going to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe?"

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly. The Bamboo Rat Tribe is a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, and there are iron ore in the territory that is very important to the Vine Tribe. Nothing can go wrong.

Moreover, according to Fengcao's intelligence, the Black Snake Tribe attacked the Bamboo Rat Tribe entirely because of the fire, and the fire was actually caused by the thorn vines. The Bamboo Rat Tribe was inexplicably blamed.

However, as a subordinate tribe, the Bamboo Rat Tribe enjoyed the protection and benefits of the Vine Tribe, so it was normal for them to occasionally fight for the Vine Tribe and take the blame. They couldn't just want the benefits without taking on the obligations, right? Of course, the Bamboo Rat Tribe was a small tribe after all, and its strength was very weak. They certainly couldn't stop the Black Snake Tribe on their own.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here tonight, and Wu is here too. I suddenly thought of a bold plan. Let's go in and discuss it together."

Fengcao nodded, followed Jiang Xuan back to the bamboo house, and at Jiang Xuan's instruction, told him about the Black Snake Tribe.

After listening to this, everyone exchanged glances and then focused their attention back on Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao, because they were the two real decision makers of the Teng tribe.

Chishao was silent for a moment, then said, "I just arrived in the central region, and I know very little about the situation here. I can't make a rash decision, so let the leader speak."

Jiang Xuan sat up straight, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, since Wu asked me to speak, I will tell you what I think."

"First of all, we must save the Bamboo Rat Tribe. It is our subordinate tribe. If we cannot even protect the Bamboo Rat Tribe, the prestige that our Vine Tribe has worked so hard to build in the central region will be immediately lost, and other tribes will doubt our Vine Tribe's ability."

"Secondly, the Black Snake Tribe has attacked our Teng Tribe several times, and has now become our biggest threat in the central region. Instead of passively defending, we should take this opportunity to take the initiative. Even if we cannot destroy them, we must inflict a heavy blow on them so that they will have to avoid our Teng Tribe whenever they see them in the future!"

Jiang Xuan's words lifted everyone's spirits, especially people like Jing Jie who hated the Black Snake Tribe to the core. They even felt their blood boiling. They were so excited that the totem patterns on their bodies emerged.

When he thought about how the Black Snake Tribe intercepted the fleet and almost caused heavy casualties and major losses to the fleet, he wanted to rush to the Black Snake Tribe to take revenge immediately.

Unlike Jingjie, Shiqiu was more stable. He hesitated for a moment and asked Jiang Xuan, "Chief, the Black Snake Tribe is a large tribe after all, and its fighting power is very strong. Would it be too risky for us to take the initiative to attack now?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "It is of course risky to rely on ourselves, after all, half of our forces are in the north. But if we bring in the Crocodile Tribe, the situation will be completely different."

Shi Qiu's eyes lit up: "Crocodile Tribe? Are they willing to join us in the fight?"

Jiang Xuan said confidently: "I have checked. When the Black Snake Tribe first entered the central part of the Southern Wilderness, they had several major conflicts with the Crocodile Tribe. The two sides had already formed a deep hatred."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"As long as we are willing to be the main force and attack the Black Snake Tribe, the Crocodile Tribe will definitely not mind helping us and taking revenge at the same time."

“When the time comes, our Vine Tribe, Crocodile Tribe, Mountain Turtle Tribe, Ape Tribe, Rat Tribe, plus the Bamboo Rat Tribe as bait, the six tribes will attack together. Even if the Black Snake Tribe is not destroyed, it will definitely be severely damaged and it will be difficult for it to pose a threat to us in the future!”

Everyone thought quickly in their minds, and then nodded, agreeing with Jiang Xuan's statement.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan discussed the specific details before the war with everyone and asked them to make preparations for the war in the tribe in advance. He also asked Fengcao to use the intelligence network of the thorn vine to notify the Bamboo Rat Tribe as quickly as possible and ask them to prepare for defense.

At the same time, tell the Bamboo Rat Tribe that reinforcements will arrive soon and give them some confidence so that they will not be scared away by the Black Snake Tribe.

Finally, Jiang Xuan rode the Purple Eagle Tangyuan to the Crocodile Tribe overnight and tried his best to persuade them to take action immediately.

Of course, Jiang Xuan is not a blindly confident person. He has made preparations for both situations in his heart.

If the Crocodile Tribe is willing to help, that would be the best.

If the Crocodile Tribe is unwilling to take action, the Vine Tribe will lead those subordinate tribes to fight a fierce battle with the Black Snake Tribe.

As long as the Black Snake Tribe is not determined to fight to the death, they will not dare to fight to the point of mutual destruction. After a certain level of damage, they will definitely retreat, and the Bamboo Rat Tribe will be saved.

This battle might come at a cost, but the Teng Tribe can also use it to prove its own strength and, by relying on the name of the Black Snake Tribe, consolidate its position in the central region.

From now on, those tribes that are jealous of the interests of the Teng Tribe and are ready to take action must first consider whether they are as powerful as the Black Snake Tribe and whether they can withstand the wrath of the Teng Tribe before taking action.

It is useless to talk about how strong a tribe is. Only strong combat records can convince people.
