The Great Elder Yuan Feng had secretly visited the three ships and said first, "Let's seize the ships."
Everyone present had seen the boat, their eyes were blazing, and they strongly agreed with Yuan Feng's proposal.
There are only about fifty people in Sun City, but there are more than three thousand in the Wilderness Tribe. In their opinion, it is easy to steal the ship.
Seeing that the leader Yuan Yu did not express his position, Yuan Feng urged: "What are you hesitating about? That boat is much better than ours. It's big and strong. If you grab it, it's ours. With the boat, we can go to Qingyan tribe in one go." Pull more cargo.”
"Yes, leader, the great elder is right, let's go grab the boat." The fourth elder hurriedly advised.
Yuan Yu ignored it and looked at Yuan Qing, "Do you also agree to seize the ship?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Qing resisted the pressure and said: "You can't rob it. I saw with my own eyes how they killed wild dogs today. They were so vicious. It's difficult to rob the boat."
Before seeing Yun Qing and the others shooting arrows, Yuan Qing also agreed to grab the boat at night, but today the sudden appearance of wild dogs completely changed his mind.
"The things they have in their hands are very powerful. The wild dogs are so ferocious but they are killed quickly. If we go to grab the boat, there is not much chance of success. I think it is better to make good friends with them and exchange the things for their boats."
"What can I exchange for it?" Yuan Yu looked old and decrepit, but his thinking was very clear. She was also very attracted to the boat and wanted to take it as her own, but those people looked at it with smiles and brought little babies with them, which made her feel that they were not easy to mess with, so she did not dare to make a decision easily.
Yuan Qing thought for a while and said: "They are interested in both salt and cotton. Salt is a scarce commodity and it is not easy to transport it back. We don't have many tribes. Why don't we discuss it with them tomorrow and exchange it with cotton cloth, and then look at them idea.”
Yuan Feng said eagerly: "There are so many of us, but we are still afraid of them. I don't agree to exchange for things. If we just rob them, it will be ours."
Most people agreed with Yuan Feng and felt that the people in Sun City were nothing to fear.
Only a few people who had seen Yun Qing and the others shoot wild dogs to death disagreed with Yuan Yu. In the end, it was Yuan Yu who forcefully suppressed the great elder and the others.
A discussion meeting broke up unhappily, and Yuan Yu stopped Yuan Qing, "Take your people and watch the great elder and the others, don't let them go out at night."
Yuan Qing nodded, "I will keep an eye on people and not let them mess around."
The people on the boat had dinner and were not sleepy, so they gathered together to discuss what they had seen and heard today.
Yun Qing said to Shui Sheng: "Tomorrow you must negotiate with the Wilderness Tribe and try to get the cotton seeds, and then ask them to send someone to take us to the Qingyan Tribe."
Shuisheng nodded, "I'll fight for it. But it's not certain whether they can wait until tomorrow. I heard that after we left today, many people sneaked over and stared at the ship with their eyes shining."
"Their goal is the ship, and they may take risks tonight." Huang Ying hit the nail on the head, "Captain Yun Qing, I want to be on duty tonight."
Yun Qing shook his head, "I have already arranged the people on duty. You guys can rest assured."
Lin Yan said with a smile: "Captain Yun Qing has made arrangements, so we don't have to worry too much. If the wilderness tribe really dares to come, they will be sure to remember it. However, I don't want to hurt people's lives, and there will be no end to the deadly feud. ”
Lan Yue supported Lin Yan, "We are outsiders, and it is normal for the wilderness tribes to be wary. If they have evil intentions, just teach them a lesson. If they persist in their evil intentions, we will not show mercy."
Shi Zhidao said: "Be polite first and then fight. Yuan Qing and the others saw us shooting wild dogs with their own eyes today, so they must not dare to fight us head-on."
Yun Qing looked at them and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, we won't hurt people's lives unless it's absolutely necessary."
Lin Yan looked at Shui Sheng: "The wilderness tribes covet our boats, bows and arrows, etc. We also need their cotton. When you negotiate with them tomorrow, be careful."
"Do you really want to give them a boat?" Shuisheng thought it was impossible, but then he thought, "Do you want to agree to build a boat for them?"
"We can cooperate, but the time has to be pushed back. We haven't built a fleet yet, so let's give them a thought first."
Huang Ying was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that they will steal the boat and give it to the wilderness tribes? If they learn how to build boats, they will pose a threat to us."
"That was all a long time ago. We have also seen today that the ships of the wilderness tribes are rafts made of wooden planks, which are very different from ours. Their tools and technology are very backward, and it will take time to catch up with us. .”
Lin Yan looked at Yun Qing and said with certainty: "Besides, our military headquarters insists on training. If the wilderness tribe dares to invade, they are asking for trouble. I believe in the military's ability to protect Sun City."
A smile flashed in Yun Qing's eyes. Lin Yan was full of confidence in the military.
Others also laughed. In fact, after walking around the Wilderness Tribe today, they all knew the gap between the Wilderness Tribe and Sun City.
The night passed quickly, and to everyone's surprise, there was no movement from the wilderness tribe.
When he saw Yuan Yu again, Lin Yan scanned the area but could not see the great elder and the others, guessing that last night might not be peaceful.
On this trip, Lin Yan and Shui Sheng followed Yun Qing and brought five people from the military department with them. Their goals are clear, and they can cooperate happily without resorting to force.
Shuisheng acted as a translator and slowly expressed what both parties meant.
Sure enough, the wilderness tribes targeted the boats and their swords and other weapons. Among them, Yuan Qing has fiery eyes, which is very obvious.
In the end, the Yuanye tribe agreed to exchange cotton seeds and two pieces of cotton cloth for a knife and a bow from Sun City, and was willing to send Yuan Qing and Yuan He to accompany them to the Qingyan tribe.
Sun City also promised to build a ship for the Wilderness Tribe after returning. If the Wilderness Tribe is willing, they can also send people to visit Suncity.
Yuan Yu immediately nodded and agreed, and when they return, they will send someone to follow them to Sun City.
The matter was settled, the two parties reached an agreement, returned to the ship, and prepared to set off for the Qingyan Tribe.
Yuan Qing and Yuan He both boarded the No. 3 boat. This was the largest boat, so it was okay for two more people to squeeze in.
After boarding the boat, Yuan Qing and Yuan He's eyesight was completely insufficient, and everything they saw was strange.
The fleet set off, leaving the wilderness tribes behind. On the way, Shui Sheng, Lin Yan and the others all learned the language of the wilderness tribe, and also taught the language of Sun City to them, learning from each other.
There are no aquatic people who are self-taught, but Lin Yan and the others are not stupid either. They all have photographic memories and can communicate simply in no time.
It took Yuan Qing and the others five days to get to Qingyan Tribe, but it only took them three days to get to Qingyan Tribe this time.
Yuan Qing and Yuan He once again stared at the three boats. This boat was better than they expected. It was fast, packed with stuff, stable and safe on the water.
The two of them used to come to the Qingyan Tribe to exchange goods on behalf of the Wilderness Tribe, and they were both old acquaintances.
Under their leadership, Lin Yan and the others soon met Qingshan, the leader of the Qingyan tribe, a rugged man.
