Qiao Yu was willing to let Yue go now, partly because they were about to steal the slag. The Dragon Tribe's existence would sooner or later be discovered by the Four Directions Tribe. As long as she could transport the slag back, and given that the Dragon Tribe was self-sufficient, they would be able to resist even an attack from the Four Directions Tribe. What was going to happen would happen regardless of Yue's presence, and the impact would be minor.
Secondly, she couldn't bear to kill Yue. And if Yue hadn't left with them voluntarily, but had been forced to do so, given her stubbornness, she would have run away. Then, holding a grudge, she would have leaked the Dragon Tribe's location and situation to the Four Directions Tribes, and the situation would have been even worse than it was now.
Furthermore, Yue had a clear and righteous look in her eyes, and she would rather die than surrender to the Sifang tribe. Qiao Yu was willing to trust her once.
Yue seemed to want to say something. She opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
"I will stay here for two days. Then I will come to your place to rest. There are only men over there, so it's not convenient." Qiao Yu waved to her, went to the men, talked to them for a while, and then came back to rest.
For the next few days, Qiao Yu stayed in this valley.
Everyone had brought their own nets and fished directly from the river behind the cave, so there was no shortage of food. Therefore, Qiao Yu simply stayed a few more days until Yue's injuries had fully healed, ten days after her escape. Only then did Qiao Yu decide to take action.
She first asked Yue: "What are your plans next?"
Yue had spoken a lot with Qiao Yu over the past few days, and had gained a good understanding of both her and the Dragon Tribe. Although Yue wanted to find the people who had escaped with her that day, she knew that with her abilities, it would be difficult to find their companions. She had no idea whether they were dead or alive, and she had no idea where they had fled to.
Her sister risked her life to save her, and she certainly hopes that she will live well and not take risks or sacrifice herself for others.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Qiao Yu with her beautiful eyes and asked, "I want to go to the Dragon Tribe with you. I wonder if you are willing to take me in."
"Of course." Qiao Yu nodded. "Welcome."
A smile finally appeared on Yue's face.
She bowed with the Water Tribe etiquette, "Thank you."
"Then I'll discuss with them how to get back." Qiao Yu said, nodded at her, and went to the other side of the valley.
"After so many days, I think the Sifang tribes have relaxed their guard. We can take action now."
When everyone heard Qiao Yu's words, they were all excited: "Really? That's great."
All the able-bodied men of the Dragon Tribe had come out. If they stayed any longer, who knew what would happen to the tribe. Everyone was concerned about the tribe and wanted to return home early. Everyone was eager to take action as soon as possible.
"To be on the safe side, I'll take someone with me to check out the situation over there. If everything is fine, he'll come and call you. We'll probably take action in two days, so be prepared." Qiao Yu said.
Naturally, everyone had no objection.
"Yue wants to go back to the Dragon Tribe with us, but we can't take her with us when we're transporting the slag," Qiao Yu said. "Xiaoli, you and Mo, after everyone leaves here for the Sifang Tribe, take her back to the cave ahead. Take turns guarding the river and wait for news from us. When you see us coming on the raft, take her aboard."
"Okay." Xiaoli nodded.
Mo was always silent, so since he didn't object, everyone assumed that he agreed.
"If everything's fine over there, forget it. If they're still ambushing me, I'll use a feint to the east and attack in the west. Let me explain this method to you now."
Qiao Yu explained what "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" meant and shared his plan. Everyone's eyes lit up.
After she finished speaking, she glanced around at everyone, finally landing her gaze on Dian. "Dian, you come with me. If there's an ambush over there, once we know the location of the slag, I'll go to the mine and make a noise. Then you lead everyone in transporting the slag onto the raft."
Dian didn't expect Qiao Yu to choose him, and he couldn't help but excitedly answered loudly: "Yes."
Seeing that Qiao Yu actually chose electricity, Man, Liushui, Shu and others all looked disappointed.
Qiao Yu saw it, but there was nothing he could do.
Man and Liushui are good at management, but they lack military acumen and their fighting power is not good enough; Shu is balanced in both aspects, but neither is outstanding; Yan is smart and has good fighting power, but he is impulsive and not steady enough in doing things, so Qiao Yu does not dare to entrust him with the important task.
Hei Guang has fighting power but no brains, so there is no need to consider him at all; Qing Lang is good in all aspects, but unfortunately he has bad intentions, and Qiao Yu does not trust him at all.
In short, the Valley Tribe cannot choose the person she needs now.
After looking around, Dian and Qiang seem to be the most suitable.
As for loyalty, after working together to build infrastructure, level the land and build houses during the snow season, and fighting against the people of the Shanyin tribe together, the people of the Stone Tribe have long regarded themselves as part of the Dragon Tribe.
Qiao Yu believed that as long as she was willing to trust them a little more, they would seize the opportunity and would definitely not let her down. Her actions also served as a kind of balance for the three parties in the tribe.
Sure enough, when Qiao Yu chose electricity, the people of the Stone Tribe were delighted. If it weren't for the presence of the people from the Valley Tribe and the Shanyin Tribe, they would have pledged their loyalty to Qiao Yu.
"Let's go." Qiao Yu left in a hurry with electricity.
The two of them returned to the other side on the raft that Qiao Yu rowed over.
Qiao Yu lifted the raft and hid it in a tree. He then lifted the electric pole and placed it on another tree. He told him, "You hide here first. I'll go check it out."
With that, he left in a hurry, leaving Dian, who was stunned by her strength, behind.
Dian rubbed his face only when Qiao Yu's figure completely disappeared into the night.
He knew Qiao Yu was incredibly strong, but tonight he was still quite shocked. Her strength was beyond imagination.
He was a tall, strong man, but when she lifted him up and hung him on the tree, it was as if she were carrying a chicken.
Qiao Yu wandered around the Sifang tribe and found that the tribe had indeed returned to its original state, so there was no need for her to adopt a feint to the east and attack in the west strategy.
She returned to where Dian was hiding, gave him some instructions, and lowered the raft to him. Dian hurried away on the raft.
When the day was over and night was about to fall, Dian brought all the men from the Dragon Tribe over.
"I'll take Hei, Yan, Dian and Qiang to stand guard in the front, and you guys will carry them from the back. You have to act quickly, we only have one night." Qiao Yu said.
"yes."
Qiao Yu went out for a walk and confirmed that there was indeed no one at the slag dump, so he asked everyone to start the action.
Everyone arrived well prepared, with wooden shovels, rattan baskets, and shoulder poles. Under Man's command, everyone worked in perfect order, with a clear division of labor. The slag was loaded into rattan baskets and carried onto the raft one load at a time. By dawn, the mountain of slag had been almost completely hauled away.
