"There's no need to understand their thinking. We just need to strengthen ourselves. They're so full of themselves that they're only thinking about dealing with the tribes in the south. Have they forgotten what happened when the northern tribes came to seize the salt caves?"
Xuan also frowned, thinking of what Meng Yuqing had said before, and felt annoyed when he heard that his side was still fighting among themselves.
Qiu Ye only knew that when the northern tribe came to seize the salt cave, they were beaten back by the three major tribes.
But Xia, Jia, Xi and the others knew that the battle situation was far from simple. This was something the old patriarch had emphasized again and again when he told them about the great war that year.
When the northern tribes sent people to rob the salt cave, many people died in the battle, many small tribes were destroyed, and the three major tribes were almost broken up.
It is said that the three major tribes joined forces to defend the salt cave, but in fact, all the tribes with more than 1,500 people at that time participated in the defense of the salt cave.
Otherwise, the three major tribes would not have opened markets so honestly after driving away the northern tribes and exchanged more salt for those familiar tribes.
After all, if the salt cave was really taken away by the northern tribes, the southern tribes would definitely not be like this now, and their lives would be much worse than they are now.
"Northern tribe?" He looked at Xuan with some confusion. What does the internal fighting in their southern tribe have to do with the northern tribe?
Seeing He's confusion, Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "In recent years, there have been more and more cases of northern tribes coming to the market to sell people."
"Yeah, I know that." He frowned when Xuan mentioned this. How could people be traded like commodities?
"They're definitely not safe over there. The smaller tribes will definitely try to escape or join them. Once all the smaller tribes are gone, and there's no one left to sell to, won't they just come and capture our people?"
Xuan briefly recounted Meng Yuqing’s previous analysis.
He then used more direct words to tell He about this potential threat, "Their tribe is stronger than ours. In their eyes, our tribe is just a small tribe. Just like some big tribes here like to bully small tribes, you never know, they might want to bully us one day."
He looked at Xuan for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I knew I had come to the right place to find you."
Forming an alliance with the Qingshan Tribe and the Shijiao Tribe was the result of discussions between him, Jia and other tribal leaders after he returned to the tribe.
The beast forms of their tribe can live both on land and in water, which gives them such advantages, but also has obvious disadvantages.
When the roaming orcs appeared, they realized that it would be very easy for anyone who knew the beast forms of their tribe to target them.
Especially they have the fatal flaw of winter.
In fact, after Xia organized the three tribes to encircle and suppress the roaming orcs, he and Jia thought about this matter for a long time.
Therefore, they also paid close attention to the movements of the Qingshan tribe, wanting to know if they had the same idea. Jia knew Xia very well and recognized Xia's abilities.
He even felt that it would be absolutely no problem to let Xia lead a tribe of 2,000 people, and that he could even do better than the three major tribes.
Jia once thought that if Xia was the chief of the Rolling Stone Tribe at that time, there would definitely not be a major war after the salt cave was discovered, and the northern tribes would not have the opportunity to intervene.
They can even lead the entire southern tribal group to become stronger, and no longer need to worry about the northern tribal group stealing their survival resources.
Later, He and Jia discussed for a long time and decided to take advantage of this market opportunity to test the attitude of the Qingshan tribe.
What surprised He was that Xia actually led the team out directly this time. Instead of trying to find out from other people, it would be better to find out directly from Xia. After all, everyone in the Qingshan tribe trusted Xia.
Before he had the chance to inquire, he discovered that the small tribe they had rescued before had actually come to the market with Xia and the others. Seeing how they got along, they were no different from people from the same tribe.
He immediately understood that Xia must have the idea of expanding his power and was already doing it.
He also discovered that the Qingshan tribe brought a lot of rare things this time that had never appeared before. Thinking of what Xia said about Xuan bringing back a witch, he knew that the Qingshan tribe was now far more powerful than they knew.
What the Qingshan tribe lacks most is people, reliable and trustworthy people.
It just so happened that their tribe and the Shijiao tribe were exactly what the Qingshan tribe needed.
The three tribes used to live their own lives and had a pretty good life. Although they would occasionally ask for help when they encountered difficulties, they never thought of joining together to become a larger force.
But Xia organized them to work together to encircle and suppress the roaming orcs, which opened the door to a new world for him and Jia in an instant.
They calculated that the combined number of people from their three tribes was greater than that of the Black Tree Tribe.
After arriving at the place where the charcoal was piled, the two stopped talking and started packing the charcoal into bags. The number of people He brought out this time was comparable to the number of people going to the market, which was enough to show how much they valued this matter.
The orcs quickly packed enough charcoal, and after He checked them one by one, he tied up all the bags.
When passing by the classroom, He saw the kang.
After Xuan briefly explained the function of the kang to him, He looked at Xuan with envy. "It's a pity that the autumn hunt is coming soon, so we can't ask you to help us make this thing."
"It will be the same next year," Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking like a profiteer. "You prepare the things and we'll make them for you. Many people in our tribe have already asked them to make them this year, and they're all waiting in line. Even if you want to build a kang this year, you'll have to wait until next year."
"Okay, then we have a deal. Give us the tribe a plate next year."
He and his people rested in the Qingshan tribe for one night and left with the charcoal the next morning.
Before leaving, Meng Yuqing met them and noticed that each of them had a lot of charcoal bags hanging on their bodies. He reminded them, "When burning charcoal, remember to open the doors and windows for ventilation."
He was a little surprised that Meng Yuqing would take the initiative to talk to them, but he knew that the sub-beast in front of him was the witch that Xuan brought back, and he was unexpectedly young.
"Yes, we know. Xuan has already told us what to be careful about. Our tribe has had incidents before where people lit a fire without opening the door and ended up in trouble. We will pay attention."
After seeing off the people from the Shuilin tribe, Xuan thought that life would return to its previous peace.
He planned to go to Meng Yuqing every day after completing the tribe's arrangements to see if there was anything he could help with.
Even if there was no need to help, it would be nice for the two of them to sit together and do nothing, and then wait for the arrival of the Autumn Hunt and the competition after the Autumn Hunt.
Unexpectedly, the next day after the Shuilin tribe left, people from the Xiaoxi tribe flew to the gate of their tribe and brought them another piece of news.
