"No need."
Li Qingdao.
Tu shrugged and laughed, "That's right. Anyway, once you're incorporated into our tribe, you can meet them again."
Tu suddenly stood up and delivered a straight punch to Li Qing's face.
Fresh blood slowly flowed from Li Qing's nostrils.
Wiping his mouth, Li Qing sneered, "Is this the attitude of your Black Wind Tribe?"
Tu grabbed Li Qing's hair and lifted him up, a sinister glint in his narrow eyes.
"I'm not a fool like Chu."
Slaughter Road.
"I never imagined that the old bastard Jiewu would become so senile and come up with such a stupid plan."
Li Qing silently noted Tu's action to him, telling himself that he would repay it twofold in three days. He sneered, "You can't believe that under your management, your tribe has a pawn planted by the White Feather Tribe, can you?"
Tu was amused by Li Qing's words. "If that's the case, then answer the question I just asked: who is the person you mentioned, how do you know that, and how can you prove that what you said is correct?"
Tu gently put Li Qing down.
He wasn't worried at all that Li Qing would run away.
“If your answer doesn’t satisfy me,” Tu’s voice grew colder, “then you can stay here today.”
Li Qing said, "Three days from now, the Baiyu tribe will launch an attack on your tribe. The time will be when the sun is at its zenith."
"continue."
Tu crossed his arms over his chest, as if watching a joke.
"We can't continue."
Li Qing said calmly.
"What?"
Tu thought he had misheard.
Li Qing laughed and said, "If I tell you all the information our tribe knows, then I'll be of no use to you. How can I leave this cave alive then?"
Tu: "Kid isn't stupid."
He slowly walked towards Li Qing, his demeanor already carrying a hint of impoliteness, as if he wanted to kill Li Qing right there.
Li Qing could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Tu. "Do you still think I'm lying to you?"
Tu did not speak.
“But there are two possibilities for what I said: right or wrong,” Li Qing narrowed his eyes. “And you’re only betting that it might be wrong. Have you ever considered what if what I said is right?”
“I told you the exact time, but the area around your tribe is full of mountains and dense forests. If the White Feather Tribe really wants to hide, they can take advantage of the chaos to attack your tribe and escape using the terrain. You probably won’t be able to do anything about it.”
Li Qing's words seemed to possess a strange magic, causing Tu to slow down his movements even further.
“Chief, you’re gambling with the young generation of warriors in your tribe. I’m wrong,” Li Qing said. “Isn’t it a bad deal?”
Tu is a typical utilitarian. If something can be accomplished by the death of ten people, he will never allow twenty people to die. Li Qing grasped this aspect of Tu's character, which is why he spoke to Tu in this way.
Tu valued the total number of soldiers in the tribe very much. Even though he didn't react much to the deaths of Ci Mian and others, Li Qing knew very well that Tu cared about it. Otherwise, Tu wouldn't have chosen such a slow method of killing off the Red Flower Tribe warriors in batches; he would have led his men to charge into the Red Flower Tribe all at once.
The same applies here. Even if the Black Wind Tribe falls into the White Feather Tribe's ambush, they might still be able to kill the White Feather Tribe's ambush party. But in Tu's view, such a sacrifice is completely superfluous and unnecessary. If unnecessary deaths can be reduced, there is absolutely no need to choose a more reckless and dangerous method.
Li Qing was actually gambling when he said that, betting that Tu would be persuaded by him.
"Damn it, you bastard!"
Tu Huanzhen stopped what he was doing after Li Qing said that.
Are you threatening me?
"Tu said in a ferocious voice."
Li Qing exclaimed in surprise, "How could that be? The Jie shaman summoned me here because he wanted to cooperate with your tribe. If the White Feather tribe kills you, our tribe will lose its backing and become lambs to be slaughtered by the White Feather tribe. If our tribe wants to survive, we must join the Black Wind tribe..."
"Shut up!"
Tu almost roared as he stopped him.
Li Qing quickly shut up, but then changed the subject to "truth or falsehood," saying, "I just feel sorry for the chief. If you really kill me here, you'll be risking a major disaster for your tribe!"
Tu's expression grew increasingly ferocious. He picked up the pear he had just picked up, stared at it for a long time, but didn't touch it because he was so angry. In fact, under his pressure, the juice of the pear slowly seeped out.
Li Qing's words did have some effect on Tu.
Indeed, if what Li Qing said was true, then he simply couldn't afford to gamble. The Black Wind Tribe had developed to its current state based on its numbers and strength, and he didn't want so many people to die in the Black Wind Tribe, which had worked so hard to develop to its current state.
"hateful!"
Tu cursed again, "You better promise me you're telling the truth!"
He let out a long breath, sat down heavily, and asked, "So, what do you mean?"
Seeing Tu's expression, Li Qing knew that his plan was half successful. He smiled and said, "It's very simple. Three days later, around noon, I will come again. At that time, I will personally take you to the vicinity of the White Feather Tribe's ambush site, so that you can lie in wait and... like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Li Qing boldly picked up two fruits from the fruit in front of the butcher, keeping one for himself and handing the other to a large black dog that had followed him in.
Tu said in a low voice, "So, you know where the White Feather Tribe will attack our tribe, but you just won't tell me?"
Asking such a question was rather unfriendly, but Li Qing actually replied, "Yes, there's no other way. For my own safety, I also have to consider whether you'll kill me or not after I tell you. I don't have the guts to gamble with my own life."
Tu said sarcastically, "The Jie Wu really dares to let you say that."
Taking a bite of the sweet and juicy fruit, Li Qing smiled and said, "If this makes you feel uncomfortable, then I can only apologize. However, our main purpose in doing this is to ensure that our tribe has a foothold here after we wipe out the Baiyu tribe."
Tu snorted and said coldly, "Your tribe is really interesting. When you were negotiating with us, you were even more arrogant than us."
