The climate in Utu is very strange. Sometimes during the day it is very hot under the scorching sun, but at night the temperature drops particularly sharply.
Late at night has come, and many people have fallen asleep. Although Ye Ying is lying there, his mind is very clear. He has been looking for an opportunity to escape, but the people of the Jiaolu tribe take them too seriously, and they have never found a way to escape. method.
Ye Ying's hearing was very good. Although there was constant snoring all around, he could still hear the voices in the tent dozens of meters away. Ye Ying could tell from the voices that the two people speaking were Zu Dacheng and the young chief of the Najiaolu tribe whom he met during the day.
Some of the content they began to talk about involved the battles between tribes and the expansion of power by several princes. Ye Ying was not interested in these topics at all. Just when he felt bored, he suddenly heard the two of them chatting about themselves.
"Young Patriarch, these Daning businessmen obviously have nothing to do with Kwanda and his son. Why did we bring them along?" Ye Ying could tell that the person speaking was none other than Zu Dacheng.
"Of course I know this, but since they have been involved and given me a reason to attack them, of course I will not let them go." It was the Northern Barbarian young clan leader who spoke.
"But over the years, all forces have not allowed to rob merchants. Will this cause trouble to the clan?" Zu Dacheng said again.
"What trouble can there be? You didn't see so many weapons in their carriage. When the time comes, we will say that they attacked us together with the Jeddah tribesmen. We were forced to fight back, surrendered their belongings, and kept the people as slaves. , it’s a matter of course.” The Northern Barbarian Young Clan Leader said coldly.
After listening to the words of the young Northern Barbarian clan leader, Ye Ying couldn't help but be secretly shocked. This young Northern Barbarian boy who looked young could actually have such a deep scheming mind.
Knowing the thoughts of the young leader of the Northern Barbarians, Ye Ying became even more eager to escape. However, during that night, due to the tight guard, Ye Ying never found a chance to lead everyone away.
At daybreak, the team got up and continued to move forward. Although Ye Ying did not show his voice, he quietly informed Qi Jiao and others that if they did not have a chance to escape before approaching the area of influence of the Jiaolu tribe, they would have no choice but to leave by force.
But Ye Ying is unwilling to take this step unless he has to, because if he leaves everyone forcibly, he will definitely pay a lot of casualties. What's more serious is that he will be hunted down by the forces of the Northern Barbarians. If he wants to return to Daning smoothly, he will have to pay a lot of casualties. It's a very troublesome thing.
Following the people of the Jiaolu tribe, Ye Ying had not found a way to escape until noon. Seeing that he was not far from the Jiaolu tribe's station, Ye Ying had no choice but to call the people of the Flying Eagle Society to prepare for action.
But at this moment, the sound of people shouting and neighing suddenly came from the surroundings, followed by hundreds of people surrounding them from all directions.
"Young patriarch, it's bad, people from the Jeddah tribe are here!"
After hearing a report from a subordinate of the Jedah Tribe to the young chief, Ye Ying understood that these people who came turned out to be reinforcements from the Jeddah Tribe. Apparently, some members of the Jeddah Tribe who had escaped went back to report the news, so that the large forces in the tribe could He caught up in time.
With the arrival of the Jeddah tribe, the scene was in chaos. The young leader of the Jiaolu tribe, who had been arrogant before, suddenly panicked and led his men to break through desperately. They finally escaped. At least 30% of his men were killed. Killed and captured by people from other tribes.
The people of the Jiaolu tribe failed to steal the chicken but lost a handful of rice. Of course, they had no time to pay attention to Ye Ying's people at this time.
Ye Ying also knew. This is a good opportunity to escape. So he quietly greeted everyone in the caravan, found an opportunity, and prepared to leave the place of right and wrong.
But Ye Ying's escape plan failed again. They had just walked not far when they were blocked by a group of people. The leaders of this team are the Wang Keda father and son who were captured by the Jiaolu tribe yesterday.
It's just that at this time, Wang Keda and his son are no longer as embarrassed as yesterday, but they are still followed by dozens of Jeddah tribe members. It seems that Wang Keda's status in the Jeddah tribe is still very high.
"Where are you going, Shopkeeper Ye?" Wang Keda looked at Ye Ying with a smile on his face, and his words were full of pride.
"My caravan was kidnapped by the Horned Deer tribe yesterday and was delayed for a long time. We need to hurry up and hurry up today, so I didn't say goodbye to you. Please forgive me!" Seeing Wang Keda, Ye Ying felt very headache, but the situation was compelling. He could only say with a forced smile.
"Shopkeeper Ye is too impatient. It's better to go to our Jeddah tribe for a few days and let Wang perform his duties as a landlord!" Although Wang Keda had a smile on his face, he waved to the Jeddah tribesmen on the side. After waving their hands, everyone immediately understood and surrounded Ye Ying and others.
"Ye is indeed in an emergency, and I will make a special trip to visit your department another day!" Ye Yingna wanted to get into this muddy water again, and once again said with his hand, hoping that Wang Keda would let him and others leave.
However, these people from the Jeddah tribe had obviously received Wang Keda's order in advance. Not only did they not give way to the caravan, they also pulled out their weapons from their waists and looked at Ye Ying and others with eager eyes.
Ye Ying and others still didn't understand at this time. He and others had just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den. There were only more than a hundred people in the Jiaolu tribe before. If everyone in the caravan fought to the death, although they would pay a high price, there was still a chance. left.
But now there are at least five to six hundred people in the Jeddah tribe. It is very difficult to break out from them. It shouldn't be a problem for Ye Ying, Qi Jiao and Shan Fu, masters of the martial arts realm, to escape, but these ordinary bandits have almost no possibility of leaving.
But how could Ye Ying abandon everyone and leave alone? Under such circumstances, everyone in the caravan was kidnapped again, but this time the kidnappers were people from the Jeddah tribe.
Yesterday, Ye Ying felt that Wang Keda was an insidious guy. Today's incident really revealed his true nature. It was obvious that they wanted to take their caravan to the Jeddah tribe for the same purpose as the young leader of the Antler tribe.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. Unexpectedly, his caravan turned into a delicious meal, and he wanted to take a few bites of each one.
"Since Your Excellency is so enthusiastic, then Ye will pay a visit to your department." When the matter reached this point, Ye Ying knew that it was impossible for him not to go, so he simply agreed and waited for the people of the Jeddah tribe to relax their vigilance before thinking of a solution. .
In order to paralyze the enemy, Ye Ying pretended not to discover Wang Keda's conspiracy, and asked everyone in the caravan to do their best to cooperate with each other. After chatting with the people of the Jeddah tribe, he realized that Wang Keda was actually an elder of the Jeddah tribe. The people of the Jeddah tribe mobilized their troops like this just to rescue Wangkoda.
After understanding this relationship, Ye Ying formed a plan in his mind, which was to kidnap Wangkoda and use this guy as a hostage in exchange for the freedom of everyone in the caravan.
Qi Jiao and Shan Fu had a tacit understanding with Ye Ying. With just a few simple glances, they understood Ye Ying's thoughts. They nodded secretly and said that they would wait for Ye Ying to give the order and the three of them would control it as quickly as possible. Live in Wankoda.
A group of people started on the road again, but this time the destination became the Jeddah tribe station. Wang Keda didn't know whether he had discovered the intention of Ye Ying and others, or was just timid in the first place. A large group of people always gathered around him, leaving Ye Ying and the others no chance to take action.
However, Ye Ying is not in a hurry. With such a long journey, he will definitely be able to find opportunities. Judging from yesterday's situation, Wang Keda's kung fu is not very high. There shouldn't be much problem if the three masters catch him at the same time. .
There is another reason why Ye Ying is not in a hurry to take action, that is, the caravan has a large number of people, and there are some horses and carriages. Even if he successfully kidnaps Wangkeda and escapes, he cannot go too fast if he carries so many things, so it is very possible Overtaken by Jeddah tribesmen.
This situation made Ye Ying feel a headache secretly. He couldn't help but think in his heart, if only there was a chance for everyone to leave calmly without taking action.
After arriving in Utu, Ye Ying and everyone in the caravan did not encounter anything smooth. But this time, God seemed to hear Ye Ying's appeal and actually gave him and the caravan a chance.
The group of people moved forward, and when it was approaching dusk, they suddenly saw dust flying on the official road in front of them. The Jeddah tribe was startled, thinking that people from the Antler tribe were catching up again.
Just in case, Wang Keda immediately asked his men to take out their weapons and stand in groups by the road to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack.
Not long after, the team in front appeared in front of everyone. Seeing the costumes of the people in front, the people of the Jeddah tribe breathed a long sigh of relief, because these people came in a neat lineup. Judging from their clothes, they came. It is a regular northern barbarian army.
The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Wutu clearly stipulated that regular troops were not allowed to participate in battles between tribes, so seeing this army, the people of the Jeddah tribe breathed a sigh of relief.
This is actually a small number of people, only two or three hundred people. However, facing such a team, the people of the Jeddah tribe still dare not move around at will, because the combat power of the regular army is beyond the capabilities of tribal people like them. Comparable.
"Stop!" The army quickly arrived at the location of the Jeddah tribe and others. Suddenly a shout came from the crowd, and the entire team immediately stopped on the spot.
It didn't take long for a man from the Northern Barbarian soldiers to come out in front of the other tribes and look at all the people present with proud eyes.
"Our team is asking you, who are you, and why are you standing here with swords in your hands?" the Northern Barbarian soldier asked after scanning the crowd.
"We are from the Jeddah tribe. We have just been attacked by the Jeddah tribe, so we are a little more cautious." Not daring to provoke regular soldiers, Wang Keda immediately came out and said with a smile.
"We don't care about the fights between your tribes, but we must not rob ordinary people." The Northern Barbarian soldier glanced at Ye Ying and others and said sternly.
"This shopkeeper Ye is our friend, and I would like to invite them to our tribe as guests." After hearing the words of the northern barbarian soldiers, Wang Keda rushed to answer.
"I wonder which general is leading your team? Do you have a chance to visit the general?" Wang Keda asked his subordinates to hand over a small bundle and said to the northern barbarian soldier with a smile. The meaning was obvious. I want this team to stay out of things here.
"Our team is led by Lord Lotul." The northern barbarian soldier obviously understood Wang Keda's thoughts and pointed at a big man in the team who was riding a black horse and wearing black leather armor.
After hearing the words of the northern barbarian soldiers, Wang Keda quickly walked over and handed the package of things to the black-armored man with both hands. The black-armored man did not refuse and took the things in Wang Keda's hand.
Wang Keda stood next to the big man in black armor again and whispered to him for a few words. The big man in black armor looked up at Ye Ying and others, and nodded again, as if he had agreed to Wang Keda's request?
