Chapter 405: Ying Brings Women and Goods

~7 min read 1,209 words

These words made that Rongdi instantly angry, "Enough, what exactly are you trying to say? If you don't make it clear today, I'll throw you down. Do you believe me?"

Luosang was startled by his look, and instantly rose, "Hold on, hold on, it's this way: I'm here to bring good news. Look, Ying sent Yao to annihilate the You Su Tribe, and now the people there have become Ying's people. How come, as Ying's brother you don't know? He led men to attack the You Su Tribe but didn't summon you; aren't you allies?"

Indeed, the words made the Rongdi's expression darken, "You say the You Su Tribe was destroyed?"

"Exactly, the You Su Tribe is destroyed, Ma Tian was also killed by Ying, you didn't know? I thought that once you were allies you'd know everything, but it turns out Ying kept it from you. He swallowed the You Su Tribe and would share its spoils with Yao, yet he completely forgot about you, Rongdi. I'm here to advise you: Ying isn't sincere in allying with you, but I am sincere. I've brought an Olive Branch; let's cooperate?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Luosang had someone bring over the Olive Branch; it is a token of sincere cooperation.

Seeing this scene, Rongdi instantly understood what the old man meant. He suddenly let out a loud laugh, flashing a set of sharp teeth, looking somewhat ferocious.

"You mean Ying betrayed me, and you want to cooperate with me?"

Exactly, he hadn't received Ying's message to attack the You Su Tribe, and Rongdi was still puzzled why Ying only called Yao and not him. "Yes, we cooperate; Ying never truly wanted to cooperate with you, only I. Look, now the You Su Tribe is gone, we can use the Shanhai Yishi to start over, bring Ying's Market street down, and then we …"

"What benefit does this give me? Your Shanhai Yishi is so far away; exchanging goods isn't convenient, is it?"

"I can send you many flocks of Sheep, and the firewood you want. What do you say?"

"Heh…"

Rongdi sneered, "Ying won't betray me, old man. Do you think I'm foolish? Cooperating with you gives me no benefit. I've already built roads, and clearly I still need to build houses. What can you help me with?"

Rongdi wasn't stupid; the old man thought such a few items could make him and Ying break ties? Impossible!

However, he would later go find Ying to ask why. Seeing he couldn't persuade him, the old man continued, "Rongdi, this won't work. Think about it: if Ying annexes the You Su Tribe, he'll become even stronger. Now Yao also follows him; Jiuzhou Dadi will gradually become his tribe. How long can your tribe survive? Eventually you'll clash, he'll annex your tribe. What will you do then?"

Luosang's harsh words were severe; a strange hue flashed in Rongdi's eyes, but it vanished quickly.

"It won't."

"You really are foolish; Ying's Market street won't last long. I've already sent someone to summon the Great Elder; he's the most trustworthy voice of the Ying Tribe. When the Shanhai Yishi revives, I can give you the best exchange terms, Rongdi, don't you really think?"

Having come to this point, Luosang still tried to persuade Rongdi to join him against Ying, but Rongdi suddenly grabbed his Iron Knife, gleaming brightly.

This made Luosang a bit frightened, trembling as he said, "You, what are you trying to do?"

"What do you think? When I made a Blood Oath with Ying, we even swore to the Heavenly God. I also told Nan Qinghuan that if I ever had a betraying heart, I'd let her cut off my wings with this knife. Luosang, you're so bold."

"You…"

"Men, come!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the lone wolves and whirlwinds rushed in, and when they saw the old man trembling they understood.

He is about to be punished!

"Throw him out for me."

Luosang was about to say something when suddenly Li Xiang's voice came from outside.

"Chief, Ying has arrived."

"What?"

Luosang was terrified; how could Ying come, how did he know I was here? Hearing that Ying had arrived, Rongdi gave Luosang a cold glance, seeing his body trembling, and let out a low laugh, "What, scared? Come on, grab him and throw him out."

"Let go of me, let go of me."

When Luosang saw Ying, Ying was personally leading many tribespeople here, all of whom he had brought from the You Su Tribe.

He intended to give these tribespeople to Rongdi, and of course also many fine goods from the You Su Tribe, all prepared to be sent by Dashan and his people.

Moreover, this time he delivered them personally.

At the Rongdi Tribe's gate, when Ying saw Luosang behind Rongdi, his expression darkened; the old man had come to sow discord. Fortunately, Qinghuan was clever and had him bring some people to give to Rongdi, otherwise the situation between him and Rongdi would have been unclear.

At that moment, Ying was truly grateful to Nan Qinghuan.

How could she guess his heart so accurately? "Ying"

Seeing these people and items, Rongdi and Li Xiang were confused; Li Xiang hurried forward, looking at Ying, "Ying, you brought these people because …"

"These are all You Su Tribe members. I have already killed Ma Tian, who burned the Market street, and annihilated the You Su Tribe. From today onward, there is no You Su Tribe on Jiuzhou."

He straightened his back as he spoke; of course, the words also warned Luosang—he knew why Luosang had come, but he wouldn't give him a chance to sow discord.

"Did you go to attack the You Su Tribe?"

"Exactly, I killed Ma Tian and let Yao reclaim it. These tribespeople only want a good life; I thought I'd bring them to you, and these items are all plunder I seized, now I give them to you."

Rongdi hadn't expected that Ying had quietly attacked the You Su Tribe and now divided its spoils for himself; this moved him, and fortunately he hadn't just listened to Luosang's words.

Seeing those tribespeople, many were women, which made Rongdi very pleased.

His tribe lacked women; women can bear children, quickly increasing the tribe's population.

It's a good thing.

"Haha, good, thank you for your effort. Why didn't you call me along?"

"I didn't go myself; I let Yao handle it. When Ma Tian died, the tribespeople's hearts were in chaos; they had long been bullied by that brother. Now Yao voluntarily joins us. I split the You Su Tribe: some people I sent to Yao, some stay with me, some I sent to you. This way, the three tribes can expand their populations. Rest assured, any good thing I have, I'll think of you."

"Great, with these women, next year we'll have many more tribespeople."

Duoluo was very pleased; their tribe lacked women, and now there were so many, showing that Ying truly was good to them.

Rongdi was also delighted; he chuckled, looked at the pale‑faced Luosang, then stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Look, this is my brother. You just said he would betray me, right?"
