Gong looked back and saw a bush in the distance behind him move. The pine cones seemed to be shooting out from there.
Gong's heart moved, and then he was overjoyed.
Those hiding in the bushes must be from the Sun Tribe. It looks like they've arrived.
He turned around and saw that the people from the Dragon Tribe were collecting tools, counting the number of people, and observing whether the depth of the pit dug today was enough. They didn't notice him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On his way back to the tribe, he deliberately walked over to his nephew Songshu and whispered to him, "Tonight, you should go out of the tribe for a while; or find a chance to stay outside and don't go back in. I just asked Shanshi, and we'll continue digging traps tomorrow."
During this period, the Dragon Tribe had gradually restored the freedom of a number of honest, hardworking and capable members of the God Tribe. They could move into the newly built courtyards with their families.
Of the three hundred prisoners, half are now free.
Song Shu is a man who appears honest but is actually smart. Under his own cognition and the suggestion of his achievements, he has performed very well. Recently, he finally won the status of a free man and moved into the western residential area.
Gong knew that the last time he left the tribe and saw the eagle, it was a fluke. This time, he would not be so lucky.
Therefore, during this period, he has been testing Songshu and trying to persuade him. Songshu also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Dragon Tribe and his longing for his previous life.
So two days ago, Gong told Songshu about his agreement with the eagle.
He couldn't leave the tribe, but Songshu could. Songshu was a free man; to meet the eagle, he just had to find a way to get through the tribe's gate. And now, after digging traps for several days, the best thing for Songshu was to stay outside and not go into the tribe, then quietly join the trap-digging team tomorrow morning.
Gong and his men will need to be called out when they return, but free men like Song Shu don’t need to be called out.
Song Shu rolled his eyes, and suddenly covered his stomach and cried out: "Ouch, my stomach hurts."
He found his team leader and said, "Cang, I have a stomachache. It's too late to go back to the tribe. I'll go to the side to take care of it."
Cang glanced at him and nodded, "Go ahead."
Songshu stepped out of the crowd, found Qiang nearby, and told him what Gong had said to him.
Songshu is a smart man and he can see the situation clearly.
He was not a small leader in the God Tribe originally, but because of his merits, the work he did in the God Tribe was easy.
Now in the Dragon Tribe, although the work was a bit harder, the housing and food were better than in the God Tribe. Furthermore, he hadn't been coerced into submission and had proactively reported this unusual development to the Dragon Tribe leader, earning him a merit. Perhaps after this incident, he could even become a squad leader.
Helping Gong was a risky endeavor; a single careless move could cost him his life. And if he went to the Sun Tribe, who knew how the people would treat him? He didn't believe what Xiongying had said to Gong.
Even if Xiongying can fulfill his promise of Gong, that is still Gong. What benefit can a small fry like him get?
The risk is too great, the reward too small, it's not worth it. It's better to use this incident to gain merit in the Dragon Tribe.
Because Gong had tricked him into rebellion, he turned around and told Cang and Qiao Yu.
Qiang waited until the other teams had entered the tribe before bringing the pine tree to Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu said to Song Shu, "Stay in the office tonight. Go back tomorrow and tell Gong that you've met with the Sun Tribe. All the young and strong men from their tribe have arrived, and they're waiting for Gong to arrange everything within the tribe and set a date for the operation. Tell Gong to give him five days at most. He must have a reply within five days."
This matter cannot be delayed any longer. According to the time, the main force of the Sun Tribe will be arriving soon. After they screen the personnel, they can carry out strategic deployment.
"Okay." Song Shu agreed readily.
The next day, Gong got the news about Song Shu and told it to his roommates. While they were working, they took the opportunity to mobilize the development targets they had originally favored.
As for the freedmen, Gong and his men had been digging traps outside the tribe for a while and had no time to contact them, so he gave the task of lobbying the freedmen to Songshu. They themselves, focusing on mobilizing the group of captives, began lobbying.
That evening, many captives strongly demanded to be freed.
This was the rule set by Qiao Yu. Prisoners had to submit their own applications, which would then go through multiple levels of review. If approved by the squad leader, the battalion leader, and the tribal leader, they would become free men.
When these lists were placed in front of Qiao Yu that evening, he approved a batch of them.
There were thirteen people on the list. After they were released and reunited with their families, four of them began to work on the other people's thoughts.
All their private words and actions were actually seen by everyone, especially the intelligence agents that Qiao Yu had developed privately, who knew exactly what they said and how their targets reacted.
That day, Huo Qinglang hesitated again and again, and finally went to Huo before going to bed at night and told his father what Hui had persuaded him to do.
"They said that as long as Qiao Yu is in the tribe, I will never be able to make a name for myself. If the Sun Tribe attacks, I might as well respond within the tribe, make contributions, and let the Sun Tribe occupy the Dragon Tribe. I have the ability and have made great contributions, so I can definitely become a small leader. In the future, I can even become a manager and elder of the Sun Tribe."
Huo frowned: "What do you think?"
"I..." Fire Blue Wolf scratched his hair irritably, "I don't know."
He was from the Valley Tribe. Most of the current Dragon Tribe leadership was from the Valley Tribe. His father, Huo, was also an elder of the Dragon Tribe. Aside from his own inability to hold any official position, everything else was going well for him.
Compared to the rest of the tribe, their family lived a prosperous life; thanks to the fire, they also enjoyed a certain status. If it weren't for Qinglang's high self-esteem and ambition, his life would actually be quite comfortable.
Now, is he going to betray his tribe and put himself and his family in danger just for Hui Hua's illusory pie that he himself is not sure of?
Fire Blue Wolf wasn't sure.
He is very irritable.
Huo sighed deeply and patted his son's shoulder. "I know you feel aggrieved. But have you ever thought about this: if you betray your own tribe and people just to become a so-called small leader, would the leader of the Sun Tribe dare to use you? Would he be worried that one day you would kill him for greater benefits?"
"Although Qiao Yu suppressed you, has she ever taken revenge on anyone in our family besides you? No, right? One of your two sons joined the carpentry team, and the other joined the salt-making team. These are teams only for capable and trustworthy people. And your wife also joined the breeding team. And I have always been the elder of the tribe."
