Tana's preparations were clearly thorough.
Just after deliberately letting those people go, that night, more than a dozen grassland people who had once gone deep into the barbarian country with Tana and had rich experience in disguise left the tribe.
Some dressed up as businessmen, some as horse bandits, and they all looked very realistic.
With such deliberate arrangement, the news that "there is treasure in the mountains" soon spread.
It even became more and more outrageous.
From gold and silver at the beginning, it gradually turned into crystal.
Finally, some people even said that there were magical tools buried inside, and whoever got them would be able to ascend to heaven on the spot!
Of course, not many people believe this last statement.
But with the spread of various rumors, the most reliable ones seem to be very credible.
As a result, the forces that had been hiding in the dark on the grassland were ready to move.
But these have little to do with the people of Langyun.
Yan Tao now puts all her energy into her task. She basically spends every day among the sheep, holding a notebook, taking careful notes and observing diligently.
Just then, she heard a voice: "How's it going?"
Looking up, Yan Tao saw Teacher Bian's gentle face.
She immediately smiled and said happily, "It's going well. We'll have the results soon."
Bian Cheng walked over to him, his eyes also looking at the flock of sheep, and said gently, "Congratulations. I wonder what results you came up with?"
Yan Tao smiled and said, "I found a way to quickly expand the flock."
"Oh? Could it be that you have already progressed to the laboratory stage?"
"No, I have another plan."
As she spoke, Yan Tao pointed.
Teacher Bian looked over and saw that many white sheep had their horns painted and numbered.
At this time, Yan Tao was pointing at one of them.
Teacher Bian was a little surprised and turned to look at her.
Before I could even ask, Yan Tao excitedly said, "Although this ram is still young, it has great potential. Both its strength and fur are exceptional, so I plan to select it and focus on training it."
Teacher Bian was puzzled: "Then what?"
Yan Tao smiled and said, "Let it eat its fill and grow strong. In a few months, it will be an adult. By then, I will select dozens of beautiful and lovely ewes to keep with it, and strive to give birth to more excellent lambs. This will naturally make the herd even better!"
Teacher Bian: ...
Are they going to shoulder the burden of expanding the ethnic group at such a young age?
Teacher Bian asked, "What if it can't be used as a breeding sheep?"
Yan Tao blinked, as if she had never considered this possibility.
This made Yan think for a while, and then he tapped his palms: "Then we can conduct another study."
“…Tell me about it.”
"On the Effects of Neutering Sheep on Their Bodies and Coats in Another World."
Teacher Bian: …………
He didn't speak for a long time, just staring at the lamb with innocent eyes and no knowledge of the world, and suddenly sighed.
So, sometimes, growing up is very cruel.
Yan Tao wrote down the last note in the notebook, then looked up at Bian Cheng and asked, "Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Teacher Bian calmed down and said with a smile, "Hua'an County sent a batch of ironware and a message saying that the prince consort will be here with a new teacher soon. They also sent some other things."
As he spoke, Teacher Bian handed her a bottle of Coke.
Yan Tao was shocked: "Where did this come from?"
Teacher Bian said, "Hua'an County just sent a batch of ironware. This one is specifically for you." He paused, and emphasized, "Xia Ying knew you liked it, so he exchanged it for you."
Yan Tao's eyes lit up, and she happily took the Coke, saying happily, "My wish has come true."
Teacher Bian was curious: "What?"
Yan Tao: "Anyone who can buy me a Coke and let me call you daddy will do it."
Teacher Bian was silent for a moment, thinking about it, and finally said, "You'd better not tell this to Student Xia."
Yan Tao:?
At this time, it was getting dark.
Yan Tao put her doubts behind her, happily packed up her things, and prepared to go out for dinner with Teacher Bian.
Another hour passed, and most people in the tribe finished their work for the day and returned to their tents to rest.
Although tired, the entire tribe was in a very positive atmosphere, and it was obvious that everyone was full of hope for the future.
But Babu felt a little lost.
That night, after finishing his homework, he strolled to the quarry.
I saw the diligent Chiwu at first sight.
In the past, Bob would have suspected that this person was deliberately playing the victim or showing it to them on purpose.
But after observing for a while, he found that Chiwu was completely honest in what he did, and he didn't even have any intention of running away. It was as if he was determined to stay in the tribe...
So Babu was much more frank with him and spoke more directly. When Chiwu was resting, he sighed and said, "I may have to wait a while before I can fulfill my promise to you."
Chi Wu was squatting beside a stone bench, wiping his sweat. Upon hearing this, he said, "Are you saying that no one has fallen into the trap yet? This is normal. Don't worry. Be patient."
Babu was surprised and turned to look at him: "Did you know this a long time ago? Or did you hear some news?"
Without even looking up, Chi Wu said naturally, "I don't know anything, but I've interacted with people from other tribes. Similarly, I've also come into contact with the bandits around here, so I know what they are. It's not hard to guess."
Babu's eyes were filled with curiosity. He reached out and pulled him: "Tell me about it."
Chi Wu paused for a moment, then made a very deliberate gesture, clutching his stomach and saying, "Oh, I'm so hungry!"
Babu was eager to hear his analysis, so he took out a steamed bun from his pocket and gave it to him without thinking.
Chi Wu sniffed it, but didn't take it. He just continued to howl, "I have no strength if I don't eat meat!"
Babu's smile disappeared, but he still held out his hand and said in a calm voice, "I'll count to three. If you don't want this, I'll leave. One, two..."
Chiwu took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
It fully demonstrates the ability to bend and stretch.
After finishing a steamed bun, Chi Wu didn't beat around the bush and said, "Most of the tribesmen we let go wanted to keep the property for themselves, so from the beginning, we shouldn't expect them to spread the news."
Babu puffed up his cheeks and asked, "Where are they?"
Chi Wu twitched his lips and said, "Don't worry, it's a matter of time. I guess he's been held up by something now."
"What is it?"
"Whoever comes will be the one to share the spoils unevenly. We won't see them until we have a fight among ourselves and the benefits are clearly divided."
Bob: ...
The adult world is so complicated.
Chi Wu continued, "But there's no need to rush. The bandits around here should be showing up soon. They're a complex bunch, and they've always been on the edge of a knife. The more chaotic the border between Zhou and Man, the more profit they make. Now that the two countries are negotiating a peace deal, at least on the surface, it's like they're going to lose their jobs. So they're going to have to do something big, and they'll come sooner or later."
As Babu listened, he nodded, and felt more and more that he was right.
This also changed Babu's opinion of the tall and strong barbarian in front of him.
He couldn't help but ask, "How do you know so much?"
Chi Wu raised his chin and said, "If it weren't for these things, I wouldn't have been pushed up and become the youngest intelligence officer when the small boss needed to be replaced."
"If you are so great, why did you fall into the hands of my family leader?"
"...Don't ask. If you ask, it's because directionally challenged people can kill them."
Babu also thought of the various glorious deeds this man had done when he was lost. He coughed lightly and didn't say much because they had once carried out a mission together.
Chi Wu rubbed his slightly sore arm and said softly, "Those people haven't come yet. It looks like I have to carry bricks for a few more days."
Babu handed him a bottle of water and said, "You work so hard every day just to eat meat?"
Chi Wu: "Eating meat is one thing, but more importantly, I want to stay."
Babu: "Do you really want to stay in our tribe? Why?"
Chi Wu: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
The boy held his chin and said, "Let me hear the lies first."
Without hesitation, the barbarian said, "I have been inspired by the Immortal Langyun. After reflecting on my past mistakes, I have decided to change my ways, convert to Langyun, and use hard work to rebuild myself and become a useful person to society."
This sounds righteous and there is nothing wrong with it.
If it wasn't a lie, Bob might have actually believed it.
So he quickly asked, "What about the truth?"
Chi Wu's originally straight back slumped. He sighed and muttered, "The truth is, I know too much. Your clan leader won't let me go. And even if he does, I can't go back to the Barbarian Kingdom."
"Why is that?"
"Of the three major forces in the Barbarian Kingdom, General Wu committed too many evil deeds and was eliminated. Two princes fought for the throne, one won and one lost." Chi Wu paused, and his shoulders slumped completely. "I was on the losing side."
Babu, however, had no idea about these power struggles and looked confused: "So?"
Chi Wu didn't explain much, but simply told him the result: "If I stay here, I may survive, but if I go back, I will definitely die."
Babu really didn't expect that this man was so miserable. To the boy, his tribe was his home and everything to him. He never thought that he might be harmed by his own people.
But this person has no home to return to...
So, Babu reached out his hand. The young man, who rarely comforted others, patted the tall and strong barbarian squatting beside him with a somewhat awkward look, and said softly, "Don't be sad. Don't worry, we grassland people are clear about gratitude and grudges. As long as you work hard, we won't despise you."
Chi Wu turned his head to look at him: "Are you sympathizing with me?"
Barb: “Yeah.”
Chi Wu: "You are such a good person."
Barb: “Yeah.”
Chi Wu: "So, can you give me two more pieces of meat tomorrow?"
Barb: “No.”
Chiwu:......
Suddenly I feel that sympathy seems to be of no use.
And just at this moment, they suddenly heard an extremely short chirping sound.
It sounds like birds singing, or like the sound of wind blowing through cracks in rocks.
But Babu knew it was the whistle.
The whistle was sent from Hua'an County. It was specially made and unique to the tribe. It was designed to notify everyone as quickly as possible when something happens without attracting too much attention from outsiders.
Babu's expression immediately became serious. He grabbed the bow and arrow and put it on his back. Then he stepped lightly and nimbly on the stone bench, supported by the wooden frame, climbed to the second level, climbed onto the top of the tent, and looked into the distance.
Although Chiwu could climb up and down, but considering that his weight was equivalent to four Babu, in order not to collapse the tent, he stood still, raised his head, and tried to lower his voice: "What's wrong?"
Babu squinted his eagle-like eyes and looked into the distance.
Soon he smiled, and his voice was full of laughter: "Congratulations, you will be able to change jobs soon."
After saying that, he jumped out of the tent and strode towards the edge of the tribe.
Chi Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized——
This is someone delivering the goods to your door!
At this time, the tribal guards had already lit torches and were looking at the newcomers with sharp eyes.
In front of them were nearly a hundred horse bandits.
This is definitely a large scale.
Especially since each bandit was fully armed, it was obvious that they were not good people.
Fortunately, there are quite a few people in the tribe.
The two sides are in a standoff and no one is acting rashly.
But judging from their expressions, the guards on the tribal side seemed more nervous, while the horse bandits were much more relaxed.
Especially when they saw that the tribal grassland people were all frowning and their hands holding their weapons were shaking, the bandits relaxed even more.
In a fight, the one who is afraid often loses momentum.
The black-bearded leader of the bandits brandished his long sword and sneered, "We originally wanted to come here to 'borrow' something, but since we've been discovered, we can let you go. As long as you tell us the treasure, you won't suffer."
In Blackbeard's opinion, he was already very polite.
Unexpectedly, the tribal guard rejected him mercilessly: "Dream on, it's impossible, get out!"
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment.
His first reaction was not anger, but surprise.
You know, this group of horse bandits is quite powerful on the grassland. Not to mention these sheep-like grassland people, even those brutal guys from the barbarian country would think twice when they meet them.
But today, someone actually dared to scold him to his face?
Interesting, really interesting.
Blackbeard grinned, but his eyes were particularly cold.
He raised his long sword and shouted, "Since you won't accept my toast, don't blame us for being merciless!"
The guard had a blank expression on his face: "Aren't you afraid of Immortal Langyun?"
Blackbeard sneered: "If I were afraid of those gods and ghosts, I wouldn't do this kind of business that involves licking blood on the tip of a knife. As long as you are ruthless enough, even gods and Buddhas can't harm you!"
As he said this, he wanted to lead his men into this tribe which didn't seem to be that big.
But before the horse could start running, it suddenly heard a noise.
Blackbeard immediately pulled the reins and looked around.
Then they saw a lot of tribal guards coming from behind to surround them. At a rough glance, there were nearly a hundred of them.
Each of them was holding a weapon and looking at them in silence.
Quiet, tidy, and carrying an invisible pressure in the night.
But Blackbeard was not at all disappointed. He knocked on the scabbard and said, "I've known for a long time that you have connections with Hua'an County and have come up with a lot of new things. However, my people are also ready!"
As he spoke, the horse bandits behind him took out their weapons and shields and began to strike.
This is a common method used by bandits to summon their companions.
It won't be long before new recruits arrive.
But the grassland guards were exceptionally calm, not at all weak.
They also made way for a passage.
Soon, Tana came out.
Even on the grassland in winter, the female chief is wearing a sheepskin skirt, leather boots and a long whip, with her long hair loose, looking wild and beautiful.
She stood in front of the bandits fearlessly, not at all afraid of their cold gazes. She simply raised her head, a smile slowly spreading across her face as she spoke each word with emphasis, "I don't think anyone will come."
Blackbeard was dazzled by the beauty, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "What?"
The female leader said slowly, "I guessed you had figured out our defenses a long time ago, so I deployed people around here, not only from our tribe, but also from other tribes, so your people probably won't come."
Then, a light suddenly came on.
The horse bandits looked to the side in horror, and then saw two big guys.
It looks like it is made of iron, yet it looks like a living thing.
It was emitting smoke and making strange noises.
It's a real monster!
Now, they finally understood why the grassland people's hands were shaking just now.
Are they afraid?
Obviously excited!
The more they resist, the more excited they become!
What horrible creatures these are!!!
Yan Tao, who was watching the show not far away, muttered, "What a confusing conversation today, one thing after another. But what's the point of getting a tractor? Although this can also be included in the 'Agriculture and Military' channel, it only takes up the first half. It won't be very useful in a fight..."
Before the other Langyun students could react, there was already movement over there.
It was clearly a giant creature they had never seen before, but Blackbeard didn't seem to be afraid at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "But I also guessed that you would guess that I had guessed your defenses, so we won't just sit there and wait for death!"
After saying this, he turned around and shouted with full energy:
"Follow me, run!"
Grasslander: ...
Yan Tao: ...
If you can't win, just run away. That's smart of you.
Also, stop chatting like this, you're putting nesting dolls here!
But Tana didn't give him this opportunity.
She simply raised her hand and swung the whip in the air!
The long whip immediately made a sound of breaking through the air, followed by a refreshing "snap".
This was followed by Tana's cry of "Pull!"
The next second, all the grassland people exerted force with their hands.
Then there was a violent tremor.
Everyone looked down and found that the ground was moving!
Just when Ma Du started to get confused and panic, suddenly, the ground began to crack, revealing... boards and shelves inside?
What is this?
Before the bandits could figure out what was happening, they already started to feel a sense of loss.
Soon, but not long, they felt solid ground again.
It's just at the bottom of the pit...
Perhaps everything happened too suddenly and no one reacted.
It wasn't until the horses began to panic and run around, sometimes throwing off or bumping into the bandits, that Blackbeard came to his senses and roared angrily at them, "You... are insidious!"
Who would have thought that it wasn't those two big things that brought them misfortune!
What a rip-off!
It's really a fucking pit!
Yan Tao was also a little surprised.
Perhaps it was because she had focused more of her energy on "friendly interactions" with the little animals during this period, so she neglected the construction progress of the Tana tribe, so she didn't notice that they were actually carrying out underground construction while carrying out construction on the ground.
This pit is so hidden, can withstand the trampling of so many horses, and can collapse by pulling. There must be a design behind it.
The person who designed this...
Yan Tao looked at the others: "Did you do this?"
Several students who studied engineering mechanics nodded.
Yan Tao: "So, from the beginning to the end, this confrontation was really just about letting Tractor act as the atmosphere?"
The classmate said seriously: "It is still useful."
"What?"
"illuminate."
Yan Tao: ...
You use a good industrial technology product as a light bulb?
Not as good as the atmosphere group!
Tana had already walked slowly forward, stood at the edge of the pit, stared down at them, and suddenly sneered.
The matriarch, who had been trying to be tolerant during this period, finally revealed her true colors. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was as cold as a wolf. Her voice was slow and low:
"From now on, no one is allowed to speak loudly to me on this grassland."
