Chapter 397 A Man Like the Wind
The tenth year since the founding of the Teng Tribe, January 30th.
Crocodile Tribe, in the center of the residential area, inside the stilt house.
"Chief Thornwood, the Black Snake Tribe is our common enemy, and this tribe is extremely vengeful. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate them, there will be endless trouble in the future."
Jiang Xuan sat by the fire and told the whole story of the feud between the Black Snake Tribe and the Vine Tribe, as well as the Black Snake Tribe's current intention to attack the Bamboo Rat Tribe, in order to clarify the pros and cons.
After listening to this, the leader of the Crocodile Tribe, Ci Mu, did not reply to Jiang Xuan immediately. Instead, he exchanged glances with the witch sitting next to him. Both of them were a little hesitant.
Attacking a large tribe is a major event that can affect the tribe's rise and fall, or even its survival, and no one dares to make a decision lightly.
But the opportunity now is rare. Once missed, there will probably never be another chance to join forces with the Vine Tribe. We will also lose an opportunity to severely damage or even destroy the Black Snake Tribe.
The consequences of this incident are very serious and must be handled with extreme caution. No one dares to make a decision lightly.
After hesitating for a while, the leader Ci Mu finally said, "Leader Xuan, this matter is too serious. I cannot answer you right now."
"How about this, you go to the guest room and rest for a while. We will gather the warrior leaders to discuss and then give you a clear answer."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "That's what I should do, but the matter is urgent and the journey is quite long. I must return to the Teng Tribe before dawn."
Ci Mu said: "Don't worry, Chief Xuan, we will give you an accurate answer before dawn."
Then, Ci Mu shouted to the outside of the door: "Qingye, send Chief Xuan of the Fuji tribe to the guest room to rest."
"yes!"
A young female warrior walked in from outside the door. Although she tried hard to restrain herself, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
When Jiang Xuan saw her, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, because Qingye was the person he was most familiar with in the Crocodile Tribe.
"Chief Xuan, follow me."
Qingye raised his chin slightly, with a confident smile on his face, put his hands behind his back, puffed out his not-small chest, turned happily and walked towards the door.
She turned around with a wide range, and her long hair swayed behind her with her movement. The waterfall-like black hair first spread out one by one, and then gathered together again, which looked pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Xuan smiled and greeted the leader of the crocodile tribe and the witch, then followed Qingye downstairs.
Although the outcome of this trip is still unclear, he has done his best, and the rest depends on the decision of the Crocodile Tribe.
Qingye took Jiang Xuan down from the stilt house, but did not take Jiang Xuan to the guest room as the leader ordered, but took him directly back to his own residence.
The stilt house that was burned down has been rebuilt. The scale is still the same as before, and the layout has not changed much. Even the big crocodile named Xiaoqing is still lying in the original position.
Although most of the things were new, Jiang Xuan did not feel unfamiliar. Instead, he felt very familiar with them.
Jiang Xuan followed Qingye up to the stilt house. As soon as they entered the door, Qingye suddenly turned around, first slammed the door shut, then boldly hugged Jiang Xuan and buried his face in his chest.
“Plop… plop…”
Jiang Xuan was stunned at first, then his heart began to beat uncontrollably faster and his body became extremely sensitive.
He lowered his head slightly and smelled a faint herbal fragrance coming from Qingye's hair.
He knew that Qingye must have washed her hair with natural herbs with cleansing effects in order to see him.
"I miss you, especially..."
Qingye's face was very red and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, which was completely different from her usual behavior.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan felt as if his heart was hit hard by something. No matter how rational he was, he could not ignore such an emotional and sincere confession.
He stretched out his slightly trembling hands and slowly hugged Qingye. He wanted to say something, but at this moment it seemed a bit redundant to say anything. He could only hug her tighter... tighter...
It was not until Qingye's hand passed through his animal skin and touched the skin around his waist that he suddenly woke up and held Qingye's hand.
"No, Qingye, not tonight..."
When Qingye heard this, he immediately raised his head. His eyes instantly turned red and misty. His voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Why...why..."
Jiang Xuan suppressed his inner impulse and desire to protect, and explained: "I came here today to persuade your Crocodile Tribe to attack the Black Snake Tribe together. The matter is urgent, and we must not waste too much time here."
"Besides, if a war breaks out between large tribes, anything could happen. What if I..."
"Nothing can happen!"
Before Jiang Xuan could finish his words, Qingye blocked his mouth because she didn't want to hear the second half of the sentence.
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and showed no sign of continuing to speak, so Qingye slowly loosened his hand and hugged him again, pressing his face against his hot chest and slowly speaking: "You are the only person I have ever loved since I was a child. Ever since we went to Black Water Lake together, I have never forgotten you. I look forward to seeing you again and hearing from you every day."
"But your Teng tribe is too far away. It's so far that I can't find you, and it's hard to get news from you. I can only wait, waiting for you to suddenly show up and give me a big surprise."
"But every time, the time we spent together was very short. You were like the wind, coming suddenly and leaving suddenly. I couldn't keep you."
Qingye unconsciously tightened his grip on Jiang Xuan's hand: "I know I can't keep you here tonight, and I don't dare to delay the important events of your Teng tribe. I just hope you can stay with me for a little while, just a little while..."
After Qingye finished speaking, he closed his eyes and carefully felt Jiang Xuan's breathing, heartbeat, and even the sound of blood flowing.
Jiang Xuan silently replied "OK" in his heart, and then just hugged her, his mind unconsciously recalling the little things he had experienced with her in the past.
At this moment, the stilt house was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear their every breath and every subtle movement inside and outside the house.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of footsteps approaching from afar broke the warmth and tranquility.
Qingye's heart tightened, she knew that the time of separation was coming again.
Although she was extremely reluctant, her reason still made her slowly let go of his hand.
"Chief Xuan, our Chief Cimu invites you to come over."
The shouts of the crocodile tribe warriors came from outside the stilt house.
Jiang Xuan looked at Qingye with some guilt in his eyes.
Qingye carefully arranged the animal skin coat on Jiang Xuan's body and said, "Go, the tribe's important matters are urgent, don't keep the witch and the chief waiting for too long."
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, because he knew that he could not make any substantive and reliable promises.
In the end, he said nothing, just hugged Qingye, patted her on the back gently a few times, then turned around and left resolutely.
When he appeared in front of the crocodile tribe warriors under the stilt house, his face had returned to calm, but his eyes were sharper than usual.
"Come on, take me to see your Thornwood leader."
Jiang Xuan's voice was very calm, but the crocodile tribe warrior could clearly feel a powerful and terrifying aura emanating from him, like the king of beasts in the primeval forest, awe-inspiring.
"Chief Xuan, please follow me."
He put away all his little thoughts and led the way respectfully.
