And it's unlikely that all five hundred people would be willing to go against the eight hundred. But within a short period of time, many defected. They felt that life in the Dragon Tribe was better than in the God Tribe, and that the leadership in the Dragon Tribe was better than in the God Tribe. There was no bullying here, only shared hard work and shared prosperity.
What's more, they had no weapons and no extra food.
The more they thought about it, the more difficult it seemed.
"Let's not talk about this. If anyone hears, we'll all be dead." Changming said, "My father gave me this name so that I can live longer. I'd better stay here and stop wishful thinking."
Gong was about to say something when someone called out to them, "What are you two doing? The captain is calling for assembly."
The two of them quickly put down their wooden shovels and ran over to gather.
Gong looked up at the sky in surprise and muttered, "The sun is still in the sky. Why are they calling us to assemble now?"
Normally, they would line up neatly and count when they assembled. But this time, the team leader didn't ask them to do that. He shouted, "Turn left, run in step, back to your dormitories."
There was no time to talk, so everyone ran all the way to the rabbit house and saw other prisoners coming this way.
The team leader let them into the house, then locked the door from the outside with two clangs.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Just now, someone was riding a horse and playing bamboo along the way. Is it related to this?"
These words brought back everyone's memories.
When they were shot down, it was Qiao Yu who rode his horse and blew a bamboo whistle, running all the way from the city gate to the end of the road and back.
"Could it be that the Sun Tribe is attacking?" Someone guessed the truth.
Gong immediately perked up: "The Sun Tribe is attacking. Can we take this opportunity to escape, or set a fire behind us to disrupt the Dragon Tribe's defense?"
Changming pulled the door open and gave a wry smile: "We can't even get out. We don't have anything to start a fire, let alone weapons. Besides, do you think they won't send someone to guard us?"
The door of their wooden house was made of solid wood, windproof and sturdy. The walls were half stone and half mud brick, both very sturdy. There were windows, but they were very high. Back then, there were no iron axes, so delicate work couldn't be done. Each wooden plank was as thick as an arm. Fearing rabbits would gnaw at the windows, they were installed in the air, more than a meter high.
Because they were not confident in them, the tools they used to cultivate the land were all wooden shovels. Not to mention the iron tools used by the Dragon Tribe people, they were not allowed to use even stone and bone tools.
Therefore, it was not easy for them to escape, not to mention that they had no idea what would happen after they escaped. They had no weapons, no food, and if they escaped, they might have to face people from both the Dragon Tribe and the Sun Tribe at the same time.
When I think about it, I feel that the road ahead is particularly difficult.
"Forget it. Even though I have to do hard work here and I'm a prisoner, at least I'm alive." Someone sighed and completely gave up the idea of escaping.
Hearing him say this, everyone nodded: "Forget it, let's just stay here."
…
Guessing that people from the Sun Tribe would be coming soon, the tribe needed spring plowing and there was a lot to do, and food was not in short supply, Qiao Yu didn't let anyone go out hunting.
Qiao Yu had already explained in detail to Man, Liushui, Qiang, Dian and the team leaders how to deploy during an enemy attack, and he had clearly stated where each team was located and what they were responsible for.
Therefore, as soon as the bamboo whistle sounded, the members of each team of the Dragon Tribe quickly gathered and followed the team leader to take their positions.
Qiao Yu's exclusive white horse had been staying in her yard all this time. When she heard the whistle, she rode the horse all the way down. Seeing that the teams moved quickly, she nodded with satisfaction.
But she didn't stop along the way and went straight to where the prisoners lived.
"Yu." Shu saw Qiao Yu coming and quickly greeted him.
According to Qiao Yu's plan, when the Sun Tribe attacked, the team led by Shu was tasked with guarding the prisoners. So when they heard the bamboo whistle, they arrived here and took over the position of those who escorted the prisoners.
Qiao Yu got off the horse, walked to the room where the leaders of the Divine Tribe were imprisoned, and reached out to open the door.
Seeing this, Shu quickly waved his hand, and Shanshi and Menghu immediately pulled their bows to full length and aimed at the door.
Gong and the others analyzed the current situation and were feeling depressed. When they heard the sound coming from outside the door, they were all stunned and stood up.
After a while, the door opened and Qiao Yu walked in. Behind her were several people holding bows and arrows.
Everyone was filled with panic.
Could it be that the people of the Dragon Tribe, seeing that they could not defeat the Sun Tribe, planned to kill them first and then escape?
"W-what is it?" Gong stuttered.
Qiao Yu glanced at the crowd and said, "The Dragon Tribe has always adhered to the principle of 'we will not attack unless we are attacked.' Now the Sun Tribe has sent people to gather information. If they have no intention of attacking, we intend to coexist peacefully with them."
"The Dragon Tribe now has 1,200 members, surpassing the Sun Tribe. If their leader knew about this, he'd surely be willing to coexist peacefully. I need two of you to explain the situation to the Sun Tribe. Who's willing to go? Those who go can redeem themselves for meritorious service. If they perform well, they'll be freed sooner than others."
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Gong rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go."
As he said this, he winked at Changming.
Changming hesitated and didn't speak.
"Okay, one recommendation." Qiao Yu paused, then said, "Recommend another one.
Gong pointed at Changming and said, "Changming. He used to interact with people from the Sun Tribe a lot, so they knew each other."
"Then it's you two." Qiao Yu gestured for them to go out and followed them out the door.
The tree bolted the door at the back.
Qiao Yu walked to the side of the horses and stopped, looking at the two people and said, "Are you two going to ride horses or walk? If you want to ride horses, I'll have someone bring two horses over."
"Is it easy to ride?" Gong was already interested in horse riding.
"Why don't you try it first." Qiao Yu winked at Shu.
Shu came over and helped Gong onto the horse, then patted the horse's butt lightly, and the horse started to trot.
"Ahhh... Help..." Meng found that he could not control his body balance at all. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he screamed.
Qiao Yu whistled, and the horse ran to her side and slowly stopped.
He was helped down from his horse by a tree, breathing heavily, and his forehead was covered in sweat in the cold weather. Even Chang Ming, who was standing still, was frightened by his tossing and turning.
"Let's, let's just walk." Meng said.
Qiao Yu nodded, jumped on his horse, and said to the two of them, "Let's go."
