In the dense forest.
Agili fell to the ground, looking at Chi Yan approaching step by step, with despair in his eyes.
He never expected Chi Yan to be so bold as to ambush him.
"Why...why..."
Agulli spoke with difficulty. He knew he was going to die. The poison had completely taken effect and even gods could not save him.
Chi Yan was confused as to how he felt when he saw the great chief who was so high and mighty yesterday, becoming like this today.
He squatted down and said slowly: "If you don't avenge my father, then I will do it myself. You can sit on the position of the chieftain, and so can I."
Blood continued to flow out of Agul's mouth, and he said intermittently: "You... do you know that if you do this, it will... cause chaos in southern Xinjiang. You... do you really think that if you kill me, you can become... become a great chief?"
"If Southern Xinjiang never has peace again, you...you are the culprit!"
Chi Yan's face showed a ferocious look. "You are the culprit. My father followed you to the war and died in Yizhou. If you hadn't started the war, how could my father have died!"
After saying this, he pulled out the last crossbow arrow and stabbed it into Agulli's chest. Agulli's body twitched a few times and he died.
Chi Yan's hand tightly grasped the handle of the arrow as he looked at the lifeless Agulli. His chest heaved violently as an indescribable emotion surged through his body.
Chi Wushu was killed by Pei Yun, but Agulli was also responsible. Now that Agulli is dead, part of the revenge has been achieved.
Liu Xiao came over and patted Chi Yan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Take Agul's body to the Black Water Tribe, give the crossbows to those chiefs, and say that Pei Yun sent assassins to assassinate the chief..."
Chi Yan nodded.
Let Wutu Meng carry Agulli's body and go to the Heishui tribe.
As for Liu Xiao, he will not show up. If Pei Yun sees him, he should be able to guess the cause of Agulli's death.
The bodies of the royal guards were also dragged into the dense forest by the Red Mud Clan and buried in pits.
…
Blackwater tribe.
The chiefs of other tribes had already arrived. They originally did not have a good attitude towards Pei Yun, but after Pei Yun treated the chiefs to ice cream, these chiefs began to get close to him.
Especially the moderate chiefs, they didn't want to go to war with Jing Dynasty in the first place, and the opening of trade now is what they would like to see most.
"Ambassador Pei, will this ice cream be sold after the trade is opened?"
The chieftain of the Black Earth Tribe, Moyan, spoke.
It was so refreshing to eat such an ice cream in the hot summer. They had never eaten ice cream in the summer before.
The other chiefs pricked up their ears, and they were also surprised by the ice cream.
It’s not just because they can eat ice cream in the summer, but more importantly, it’s so delicious. The sweet taste is something they have never tasted before.
If the trade had sorbet, they would absolutely buy it.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "This may be difficult. You know that ice is only available in winter, and it is not easy to preserve it until summer. The court asked me to bring these ice creams to show its sincerity."
The chiefs were a little disappointed when they heard this, but it was understandable. After all, eating ice cream in summer was too luxurious.
"However, in addition to ice cream, Jingchao also has many good things that will definitely satisfy you. When the time comes, you can also go to Shudu and Jinling to experience the food of Jingchao."
Pei Yun began to talk a lot, praising all the good things about Jing Dynasty. All the chiefs were envious after hearing what he said. To be honest, these chiefs still admired the culture of Jing Dynasty very much.
And they knew that the people of Jing Dynasty called them barbarians.
What is barbarism? It means being uneducated, backward in culture, technology, education, and thinking, although these chiefs don't want to admit it.
But they also knew that this was the fact. Compared with the Jing Dynasty, they were indeed very different. There were even some tribes who had no clothes on the upper body and only wrapped animal skins around the lower body, which was almost the same as savages.
What they wanted most was cloth and silk.
In addition to these chiefs, the people of the Black Water Tribe were also fascinated by the idea. If trade was really possible, it would be a hundred benefits for them with no harm at all.
Pei Yun explained the court's policies again. When the chiefs heard that they only needed to pay commercial taxes and were even allowed to buy real estate in Jingchao, they became even more excited.
Even those previous advocates of war no longer clamored for revenge.
Those who can become chiefs are not fools. Fighting each other will never lead to revenge.
The Black Soil Tribe was destroyed, and they also invaded Yizhou, and many people died. The two sides were even on some level.
Pei Yun further said that he would open schools among the barbarians, or let the barbarians go to school in Yizhou to help them develop their tribes.
The more these chiefs talked, the more excited they became. They couldn't wait to sign the agreement and start trade.
"It's strange. Why hasn't the chief arrived yet? Didn't he say he would leave early in the morning? He should have arrived long ago."
"Yeah, is there anything wrong?"
"What could possibly happen? I'm afraid it's because of something that delayed it."
"Why don't we send someone to check it out? Once the chief arrives, we can formally sign an agreement with the delegation. The sooner we can trade, the sooner we can reap the benefits."
A group of chiefs spoke up one after another. It was already afternoon, and even though the royal court was a bit far from the Blackwater Tribe, they should be able to get there on horseback.
"Huleze, how about sending your people to see where the great chief has gone?"
The oldest chief spoke.
Hu Lei Ze nodded and was about to send someone out.
Then they saw the people of the Blackwater Tribe suddenly become agitated, and heard someone shouting "Captain".
The crowd parted and Chi Yan appeared, followed by Wutu Meng, who was holding Agul in his arms.
