Chapter 1032: Bingzhu

Lei announced this news to everyone, sweating profusely, his eyes filled with fear. The Huaxia Soldiers understood why their captain was so afraid, but the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe did not understand at all, nor did they understand why they had to pay a price to pull wild grass; wasn't it enough for the Huaxia people themselves to do it?

However, that was just what they thought. When Lei asked which five people from the Xuanyuan Tribe wanted to go, everyone frantically raised their hands, shouting that they wanted to go. Just by feeding the mosquitoes for a trip, they could obtain a jar of Soybean Oil, and a jar of Soybean Oil could be exchanged for more grain in the Xuanyuan Tribe. Who wouldn't want to do such a good deed?

Now they suddenly felt moved, thinking that Changle Prince was truly willing to give such a good opportunity to them, the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe, without treating them differently.

Seeing that the scene was too chaotic, Lei said directly: "Don't shout, don't shout, I have a way. I will break off some grass stalks and let you draw them yourselves. Some are long and some are short. Only those who draw a short grass stalk from my hand can go. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay! Come quickly, come quickly!"

In order not to delay time, Lei immediately began to tidy up the grass stalks and started the drawing. He only broke off five short ones; once one was drawn, there was one less. He couldn't hold so many in one hand, so he held them in several batches. It was possible that in one batch, not a single short one was held, but wasn't this just a matter of luck and probability? Whoever had good luck would draw it, and then whoever drew it could go.

Finally, all five short grass stalks were drawn. Lei immediately threw away the remaining grass stalks in his hand: "Good, it's you five. We must set off quickly and return before dark. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Everyone dared not delay and immediately took action. On the way, a Huaxia Soldier asked Lei: "Captain, these five extra spots, did you ask for them for us?"

"Where did five come from? There are only four. I don't count."

The Soldier was shocked but didn't believe it: "How is that possible, Captain Lei? With your status, how could the Prince leave out your merit?"

Lei was a bit irritable and fearful: "Forget it, forget it, don't mention this matter again. This time, for you, it is a reward, but for me, it is a punishment. I almost made a big mistake—no, I have already made a mistake. How could he still record merit for us?"

I just told you that you cannot trade merit, but the most serious problem is that I made the decision for the Prince without authorization. The Prince didn't say it; I said it. Do you understand what this represents? This is a fatal mistake. The Prince didn't intend to pursue it further; I am already lucky enough. Never mind merit."

"Damn! Is that so? Then isn't that, isn't that the same as..." The Soldier glanced at the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe and then whispered: "Isn't that the same as Chai Gong?"

"What do you think? It's exactly because of this. Don't you think I snatched your spots. I used my own future and destiny to trade for four spots for you, not snatched your spots."

The Soldiers all expressed their thanks, considering it a favor from Lei. They also needed to go back and tell the other teammates, explaining that Lei didn't really want to snatch a Collective Third-Class Merit spot, but was truly forced into a corner and needed to go feed the mosquitoes.

After arranging for the people digging for Gujiao to leave, Changle organized the other plant specimens and sealed them in Bamboo Tubes. After these all withered, they could also be brought back as specimens.

However, not far from Changle's camp, a group of people was also walking. They were dressed completely differently from the Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe. They wore a large number of animal teeth, and the men also decorated themselves with animal horns.

There were also a few women in the team. Two of the younger ones were not wearing animal skins, but a very special kind of Hemp Cloth clothing. Moreover, they wore small, golden, shimmering curved ornaments on their foreheads and small circular ornaments hanging on their backs, all made of Bronze, which also highlighted their different status. According to their tribe's saying, this was called "wearing the stars and carrying the moon."

The strong Soldiers beside them carried many Crocodile Skins and many other things. Walking on the road, what was tied around their waists were also Ironware that flashed with silver light.

They knew they were currently on the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe because they had come this time to trade with the Xuanyuan Tribe.

They suddenly heard very intense cheers coming from ahead. Several Soldiers immediately took their Weapons and guarded a young man. The young man pushed the people in front away: "Soldiers, do not be afraid. This is already the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe. Listening to their cheers, they must have captured some incredible prey. Let's head in their direction."

"Bingzhu, isn't this a bit too risky!" A group of Soldiers advised, because this man was the son of Chiyou, whom Chiyou valued very much; no matter what, he could not have an accident here.

But the powerful Bingzhu was not afraid at all: "We are warriors of the Jiuli, what is there to fear? Besides, on the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe, could there be people from other tribes?"

The woman behind also stood out: "Yes, no need to fear. There are so many of us from the Jiuli. I hear their voices; there are not many people, no need to be afraid. And this is also the road we must take to go to the Xuanyuan Tribe."

"Hahahaha, Qianxi, you are my father's brother, how are you more cautious than Yangasha? You should be like when we attack the Tuolong in our tribe; why fear anything?"

The strong Qianxi was a bit unhappy: "Bingzhu, you are after all the son of Chiyou. I must protect your safety. And look, Yangasha and Ayuduo have both come. You three, how can I not worry?"

"My sister came here to see a different world and to strengthen her courage. But Qianxi, my courage does not need to be strengthened anymore. I have been to the Xuanyuan Tribe before, and I believe their Soldiers all recognize me. No need to fear, let's keep moving forward. I have already heard their voices. Qianxi, do you really not want to drink the fine Wine of the Xuanyuan Tribe sooner?"

The strong man was very helpless: "Fine, fine, fine. Bingzhu, you and Yangasha and the others stay in the back. My brothers and I will clear the way in front. We will reach there before the sun sets. However, we cannot be too relaxed; we must be vigilant at all times. Not everything is necessarily safe."
