Chapter 419 Letter from the North (Please vote and subscribe)
"MMP, I want to object, but you've already taken out your knife, what's the use of my objection?" Tenger was roaring in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face. Facing the long knife in Youfu's hand, he was really frustrated.
"But we still have a long way to go back. If we give you the horses, it will be even more difficult for us to go back. Otherwise, give us less first, how about 100 horses?" Although Tenger was frustrated at this time, he was now representing the 300 people behind him, so he had to fight for it. Otherwise, if he was too cowardly today, the remaining warriors would spread the news to the leader, and he would definitely be the first to be killed.
Youfu originally thought that this guy named Er would agree directly and put away his knife, but suddenly heard that the other party dared to bargain with him, and immediately pulled out half of the knife again with a clang, which scared Tenger's liver.
"One hundred and fifty, one hundred and fifty, don't kill me, we are willing to give one hundred and fifty horses."
"I think you are looking for death, forget it, we don't want it either, just chop you all, no need to waste time talking to you, wait until you are all dead, then take all your horses back." You Fu drew his knife again and said.
"Wuwuwuwu, warrior, you can just take me away, I am willing to surrender, as long as you don't kill me, you can let me do anything, you want so many things at once, I will be killed by the leader even if I go back, wuwuwuwuwu."
Seeing You Fu took out the knife to scare people again, Tenger howled in grievance, this is too bullying, having a knife is great, you take it out to scare people at every turn, can't I just surrender directly, you can find whoever you want to send the letter to, anyway, it is a job that no one can please, whoever wants to do it can do it.
Tenger's sudden change of heart confused Youfu and Lingfeng. What the hell is this? Surrender now? !
Lingfeng looked at Youfu helplessly and complained, and curled his lips at the knife in his hand, indicating that he was too intimidating.
Youfu also understood his meaning immediately, awkwardly put the knife back into the sheath, and said impatiently.
"One hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty, leave the sheep and horses behind, take your people back to deliver the letter, otherwise you know the consequences."
"No, I won't go back. You Han tribe is so powerful. I want to follow you. Even if I go back now, I will definitely be punished by the leader. I will follow you." Tenger said as if he had made up his mind.
"Let's go, take the flag and the letter of credence, leave the sheep and horses behind, and take your people away quickly."
"Get out!"
Seeing that the other party wanted to say something, Youfu pulled out the knife again and cursed, scaring Tenger away.
Everything went smoothly. Tenger returned to the team and briefly explained the matter to his subordinates. Then everyone quickly moved. First, they gathered the looted sheep, cattle and horses together. Then they cleaned up the supplies and replaced 150 horses and sheep together. There was even a small group of people who picked up the heads that had just been thrown on the ground and took them away. No one knew what they wanted to do with them.
After everything was done, Tenger didn't even come over. He shouted from a distance, "We put the stuff down," and then ran away with his men, making the Han tribe's cavalry feel a little bit amused.
It was these people who robbed their caravan a few days ago? It was simply funny. How could such a timid tribe come out to rob? No wonder they can only live in the barren snowfield for who knows how many years. They haven't run to the prairie to occupy a base with lush grass and water for such a long time. It's not without reason.
After the other party quickly escaped from sight, Youfu and his men also began to receive the livestock left behind. Under the leadership of Azuka the Giant Eagle, they herded the livestock while rushing to the camp left behind. So far, this diplomatic deterrence was successfully completed. As for what kind of experience Tenger would face after returning to the tribe, that was not something they could control.
After spending three days to return to the camp, and confirming that the remaining caravan was fine, Youfu was ready to set off again. However, this time he did not continue to sell goods to distant places, but took the team home directly. As for the remaining goods, he would sell some on the way back, and if he could not sell them all, he would take them back directly. Anyway, there were not many things left, and most of the goods had been exchanged for livestock and furs.
Although this trip was a little bumpy, it was not an unacceptable blow to these tribesmen who were used to life and death. After all, when they relied purely on hunting in the mountains for a living, they had seen all kinds of dangers. Compared with their previous lives, they were living much better now.
Besides, the harvest this time was actually quite considerable. Although some of the supplies were burned, the leader said in the letter that it was a great achievement to be able to send the grain seeds back safely this time, so the spirits of the group of people were still good, and they did not rush on the road with their heads down.
Before returning, You Fu sent another letter to Luo Chong, reporting the process and results of the negotiation, and then he started to move out with the caravan.
When Luo Chong received the letter a day later, another letter from the north was also delivered to him.
"Chief, did You Ye find the cannibals' residence? Is it really on a snowy mountain?" Luo Chong's civil and military generals came to him again and asked.
"Well, they did find a tribe with a large population. Judging from their attire and totems, they do look like the nomadic tribe that attacked us before, but they didn't find any giant apes there, but they did see a lot of elephants like Rourou Huishan. You can see for yourself. He also drew a few simple maps." Luo Chong took out a roll of animal skins and spread them on the table one by one and said to the two.
The map on the animal skin was drawn very hastily, and the proportions were basically lost. It was not drawn according to the grid-filling method that Luo Chong taught them. Just think about it, they can only take a look from a distance at most. How can they run into the other party’s residence to take a rope to measure? They might be caught and eaten as soon as they enter.
But fortunately, they still have a few compasses in their hands, so they don’t have to worry about getting lost. The direction marks on the map can still be confirmed.
Moreover, many things drawn on it made Luo Chong very interested, not only the residences of the cannibals, but also some of the environment around them.
For example, there was a spring drawn on the map, and it was marked next to it: hot spring water that keeps bubbling, the color is the same as antelope skin in summer, the water surface is always smoking, and the surrounding water vapor smells suffocating. Don’t stay for a long time, or you will be suffocated to death.
