"What do you mean by ignoring me? You know I'm just like that. I don't like to talk unless there's anything to talk about. If she feels wronged or doesn't like me, she can go home and stop living with me." Lu Yan was very annoyed.
"Is that what you can say? What do you mean by telling her to go home..."
Amid the quarrel between the father-in-law and son-in-law, the people distributing the food quickly finished their distribution and went out. Shu then glared at Lu Yan and followed him out angrily.
Lu Yan seemed to be suffocating after being scolded by his father-in-law. He took two deep breaths in the room, took a step back, and then went out.
Perhaps he was too angry, so he only pulled the door once after he went out. Not only did he not lock the door, he also did not close it tightly, leaving a gap.
Gong, who had been thinking about how to find an opportunity to get out and get in touch with the people of the Sun Tribe, was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He hoped that Lu Yan had not thought about this and that the people guarding them had not noticed this problem.
He quickly finished the food in the bowl and waited quietly for dark.
Soon, it was dark. Without electricity, there was no light pollution. On moonless nights, it was practically pitch dark. This day, however, there was a faint moonlight, allowing for clear visibility.
After staying here for a while, Gong and others have figured out the patrol pattern of the guards - after the patrolmen leave, no one else will come for a while.
He whispered to everyone, "I'll go out and take a look. You guys cover for me. If there's a chance to get out from the gate, I'll go meet up with the Eagle and might be back a little later."
Everyone nodded.
They all wanted to continue living their lives as before. If they were asked to take risks, they might still hesitate. But now there was no need to take risks. They just needed to provide cover, which was absolutely fine.
After a while, the patrolman came and passed by the door without stopping.
Gong didn't dare to move and waited for a while. When the place was quiet, he gently opened the door and walked out.
Lu Yan had been standing in the darkness. When he saw Gong coming out, his eyes flickered, but he remained calm. He waited until Gong had walked several dozen steps away before quietly following behind.
Qiao Yu stayed near the house where the prisoners lived. When she saw Gong leave, she waved to Lu Yan who was following him, and followed him out of the city gate together.
Qiao Yu intended to have Gong collude with the Sun Tribe, and naturally, he also contacted the gatekeeper. Tonight, the gatekeeper was also negligent, leaving the gate wide open. The gatekeeper was chatting animatedly about how to cook meat, and he didn't notice anything happening at the gate.
Gong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and ran out of the door.
He had prepared for the worst.
All his children died young, and so did his first wife. His current wife was a new wife, and his children were brought up by his second wife. They were all making do.
The reason his step-wife married him at such a young age was because he was originally an elder. After being captured, he was no longer an elder and was a bit too old to work. His twelve-year-old stepson wanted his wife to remarry, and his wife was very tempted.
Such a family was not worth his nostalgia. If he could never come back after leaving, he would just follow the people of the Sun Tribe.
Given the little friendship he'd built with Eagle and the others at the trade fair, Eagle wouldn't take him as a prisoner. So, let him live as an ordinary person in the Sun Tribe. Thinking about it this way, whether he won or lost the bet, the outcome didn't seem too bad.
The path leading out of the gate was straight. Gong had followed Qiao Yu along this path today and knew where the traps were. To prevent anyone from falling into them, the traps were marked. As he left today, Gong memorized the path he had taken and the signs along the way.
He carefully avoided the trap and continued walking forward for a while. Not long after he walked out of the intersection, he saw a fire in the distance.
He was overjoyed and rushed towards the fire. In order to prevent Eagle and others from misunderstanding and attacking him, he shouted from a distance: "Eagle, it's me."
Xiongying stayed here tonight just to see if Gong and Changming could come out to see him.
He didn't believe that they, as elders, would be willing to be captives and be oppressed and enslaved.
Unexpectedly, his wait was rewarded.
He waved to his men who were about to stand up to defend themselves, then stood up and waved towards Gong: "Gong, come here, I'm waiting for you."
Gong was delighted to see his good attitude and ran over to sit next to the eagle.
The Eagles were some distance from the road leading to the tribe's gate, so it was impossible to eavesdrop on their conversation from the roadside. Years of hunting in the mountains gave them excellent hearing and keen intuition, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach them.
However, Qiao Yu was not among them.
As Gong ran towards the eagle, Qiao Yu also rushed into the bushes behind them from the side.
Gong and Xiongying practiced Tai Chi for a while. After Xiongying promised that Gong could become an elder or manager of the Sun Tribe after the matter was accomplished, Gong told Xiongying about the situation of the Dragon Tribe and how they were defeated.
The two sides agreed to work together inside and outside to wipe out the Dragon Tribe.
"Is it easy for you to come out? How can we find you next time we come?" asked the eagle.
"They usually guard it very closely, so we need to find an opportunity," Gong said. "How about this? You set a time. Twenty or thirty days from now, you come here and lie in wait. During that time, I'll find a chance to come out and contact you. Once we've made contact and agreed on a time, we'll launch the attack."
That's a good idea.
The eagle nodded and said, "Alright. Then I'll bring the army here in thirty days. You can find a chance to come out then."
"become."
The deal was settled, and Gong walked back stealthily not long after. Qiao Yu also followed him and evacuated without alerting Xiong Ying and his group.
After avoiding the trap and seeing that Gong was about to enter the tribe's gate, Qiao Yu made a gesture to the people on the city wall and those lying in ambush on both sides.
Lu Yan had been waiting at the place where Qiao Yu had replaced him. Seeing Gong return, he replaced Qiao Yu again. Watching Gong quietly return to the prisoners' quarters and enter the room, he walked over and leaned over to the door to listen carefully.
"How is it?" Everyone in the room was excited to see Gong return safely.
"It's done." Gong was very excited. "He promised me that as long as we bring more than half of the people from the God Tribe to help them take down the Dragon Tribe, he'll let us continue to be elders. Even if we can't be elders, we can still be managers. He said that the leader has the final say on this matter. But he promised me that no matter what, at least one of our small leaders will not be able to escape."
