Chapter 287 Long Ears
Zhou Xu, who probably realized what Zhuo Ge was thinking, was immediately upset.
During this period, follow-up personnel from the opposite side also arrived. There were about a dozen of them, all of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Putting aside the trouble that had just happened, Zhou Xu and Zhuogo exchanged glances.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, it was the group of blue guys. He just glanced at them from a distance. Drogo must be more familiar with them, so let him talk.
However, Zhuogo knew that he was not good at talking. Besides, he had already told Zhou Xu everything he knew along the way. He also did not get along well with this group of long-eared people, so he still wanted Zhou Xu to do the negotiations on his behalf.
As allies, the two sides have been cooperating for quite a while, so there is still some tacit understanding between them.
Zhou Xu understood what was in Zhuo Ge's eyes. He was speechless, but he still said loudly to the other side...
"We found that a transmission channel has been opened at the end of the world. In the channel, a large number of guys with blue scales are pouring into the grassland. I'm afraid it will pose a threat to us who live on this grassland. So I came to discuss this matter with your leader!"
From the moment Zhou Xu said the words "transmission channel", many of the "long-eared" people on the opposite side changed their expressions. As they spoke further, the changes in their expressions became more obvious.
During this period, the 'Long Ears' who first stopped them with an arrow should be the leader.
He appeared to be relatively calm, but his brows were furrowed throughout.
After listening, a pair of emerald eyes quietly looked back and forth at Zhou Xu, Zhuo Ge and the others.
Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to believe everything the other party said, but since the matter involved energy channels and foreign invasions, they should indeed take it seriously.
With this thought in mind, the leading 'Long Ears' spoke a few words directly to the tribesman beside him. After the tribesman nodded at him, he pulled the reins and turned away.
Judging from the looks of it, he must have gone to report it.
During this process, Zhou Xu kept looking up and down at the opposite side.
Noticing Zhou Xu's gaze, the 'long-eared' man's face darkened and he looked at him with displeasure, which made Zhou Xu stunned. Then he realized that the other party had misunderstood him and quickly said...
"Don't misunderstand me, my friend. I am looking at the horse you are riding. This horse and the harness on it look a little familiar to me."
In this sentence, Zhou Xu lied a little. He was not just looking at the other party's mount. He found that under the light leather protective gear, the other party was wearing clothes that seemed to be made of linen.
[Good fellow, the development of this area is ahead of me. Could it be another time traveler? ]
Compared to Zhou Xu, whose mind was full of thoughts, the 'long-eared' one obviously didn't think so much. Upon hearing this, his gaze subconsciously fell on Zhou Xu's mount, and then his expression changed slightly.
Before, his attention was all on Zhou Xu and Zhuo Ge who were the "foreign enemies", and he really didn't notice the other party's horse harness.
After all, they also rode horses, and the humans on the opposite side riding horses was not something strange worthy of attention in their eyes.
It was not until Zhou Xu said this that he noticed that the equipment on his mount was exactly the same as that used by the other party.
At this moment, not only him, but even the other 'long ears' around him looked a little unnatural.
Zhou Xu said this, of course, not to embarrass the other party, but to think about whether there is a chance to do a harness business with the "long ears" in front of him.
Apart from the leading one, he had already seen that the harnesses on the other mounts were all imitations of theirs. In terms of craftsmanship and processing, they could not compare with the full set of harnesses they made themselves.
It would be great if we could use horse harnesses or other tools to exchange for some goodies from the 'long ears' on the other side.
Thinking of this, just when Zhou Xu was about to speak, he didn't expect that the 'long-eared' man opposite him spoke first.
"I found this horse by accident on the grassland before. It might be lost by you, but I have raised it for a while. How about I exchange something for this horse?"
This horse was lost by someone else. He knew this when he picked it up. After all, how could a wild horse have such convenient riding equipment?
However, there were no police stations or lost and found offices in this era. It was not like you could just throw your lost property there and walk away.
Under this premise, the grassland is vast, and it is unrealistic for him to search the whole grassland for the owner.
So he rode the horse back.
After riding the horse, he naturally realized the power of the set of horse harness. They also rode horses, but they did not have this kind of horse harness. The difference between them was huge.
After that, imitating horse harnesses was a natural progression.
He had thought about whether the original owner would come to him one day, but he didn't expect that day would come so suddenly.
After the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down and came up with his own solution.
After all, he has raised the horse for a long time and has developed a certain affection for it. He would definitely be reluctant to return it.
Zhou Xu was surprised by the other party's straightforwardness.
It is basically certain that this horse is one of the war horses that got lost during the snowstorm.
After that, they considered it dead.
If they could recover what they had lost, that would certainly be a good thing. They didn't have enough horses, let alone these well-tamed war horses.
But he could accept the solution proposed by the other party at this moment.
"Friend, why don't we chat over there? It's so tiring to talk at the top of your voice from such a distance!"
After realizing that it was the owner who came to his door, the other party's confidence weakened by three points. He did not refuse at this time. After nodding, he rode his horse to the side, and Zhou Xu also moved forward.
"I'm Zhou Xu, what do you call me, my friend?"
"Silk."
He said his name calmly.
After successfully exchanging names, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.
"Then what are you going to use to exchange this horse with me, Silk? Since you have been feeding it for a while, you should know that this is a domesticated and trained warhorse. Its value is not comparable to that of an ordinary horse, and it is also equipped with a full set of horse gear."
When the subject of horse harness was mentioned, Silk's expression showed a hint of unnaturalness.
Equipment with a simple design like horse harness can easily be plagiarized once it is unveiled. It will be difficult to settle the accounts and it will end up in a mess.
However, this kind of thing is not so glorious after all. Silk himself is not even thick-skinned, let alone shameless.
When I talk about this, I can't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"I can give you two horses in exchange for this one."
As soon as these words came out, before Zhou Xu could give a reply, on the other side, the 'Long Ears' who had gone to report earlier had already rode back on horseback.
Needless to say, the leader of the other side has agreed to meet with them for negotiations.
