Chapter 1034: Equal Status

An arrow brushed past the face of Bingzhu, neither too far nor too close, and flew directly to the feet of the Soldiers behind him, scaring them into an immediate halt. Primarily, seeing such a scene from the opposite side, they found it difficult to charge directly. Furthermore, those gleaming Changdao were clearly made of Iron. In this region, the only tribe capable of possessing Iron Weaponry would be the Xuanyuan Tribe.

Changle also hurriedly told them to stop: "Stop, stop, stop, do not attack!"

Bingzhu also hurriedly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, don't charge!"

Both sides remained silent for a while, as if observing each other. Bingzhu looked at the opposite side; they were clearly people of the Xuanyuan Tribe, not savages. And the Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers also saw that they were indeed people of the Jiuli, and they had not lied.

Bingzhu was a bit embarrassed: "You really are from the Xuanyuan Tribe. I thought you were some wandering savages here, which is why I intended to come over and help you. This, I really didn't expect. However, our Jiuli are here to trade; why won't you even let us pass?"

The Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers were also very embarrassed and could only say hurriedly: "Friends from the Jiuli, our current situation is rather special. Indeed, it is truly not suitable for you to come over. How about you take a detour and pass through another place?"

Qianxi was a little unhappy: "Hey, we were invited by your Tribal Chief to come and trade with you. Now the Heaven is almost dark, and we haven't found a place to set up camp yet. Now you still want us to take a detour? Do you think this is appropriate?"

The Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers were on the verge of tears: "Everyone, the main thing is, the main thing is that my situation here is too special, and I cannot make any decisions. If something were to happen, we would not be able to bear the responsibility."

"Where is your Leader? Where is the Leader? Let him come out and speak with us."

The Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers were truly about to cry: "We don't have a Leader..."

But as soon as he said this, Qianxi took the lead in picking up her Weapon: "Heh, you have so many people, holding such good Weaponry, yet you don't even have a Leader? Do you think this is right? Did you defect from the Xuanyuan Tribe, or is it that you killed the Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers and then snatched their Weaponry and clothes?"

"Oh, how could that be? We are just from the Xuanyuan Tribe. We, we were just... oh!"

Changle could not listen any longer. Primarily, he was afraid that they would really start fighting. Moreover, he had not expected these Jiuli people to be so meddlesome, though one could also say they were very concerned about their allied tribe. After all, this situation looked too bizarre.

Thus, Changle stood up directly and said: "Alright, alright, you move aside. I will speak to them; don't let you all fight again."

The Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers turned their heads one after another, but they did not know if Changle could truly represent their Xuanyuan Tribe to conduct the talk.

Changle said again with some impatience: "Alright, I have already said it. The matter of you trading with the Jiuli is no secret in our Huaxia. You have never been able to hide it at all. Do you think my father knows nothing?"

The Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers felt that what was said made a lot of sense, so they slowly cleared a path. However, such an action appeared extremely bizarre to the Jiuli.

After everyone moved aside, Changle also saw a completely different tribe, which made his eyes light up. He let himself try to appear as kind as possible: "Greetings, everyone from the Jiuli. I am the Prince of Huaxia, Changle. These people are indeed Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers, sent by the Xuanyuan Tribal Chief to protect me."

"They were unwilling to let you come over, perhaps just because they were afraid that certain things could not be hidden, such as the matter of trading with you, because we in Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe are now also allies, and our trade is close."

"However, we in Huaxia do not mind at all. Everyone should communicate and trade more; that is good. These Soldiers truly cannot make the decisions because their Leader—I—am not a person of the Xuanyuan Tribe."

"Everyone from the Jiuli, if you have no problems, you can come here to set up camp together. I also hope you will not blame these Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers."

As soon as Changle finished speaking, all the Jiuli people looked at each other, because they had no idea there was a tribe called Huaxia. However, since there was no malice, everyone put down their Weaponry.

Bingzhu also took the initiative to say: "Changle, is it? My name is Bingzhu. My father is Chiyou, the Tribal Chief of the Jiuli. Can you tell me, since you are a person of the Huaxia Tribe, why are you on the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe, and why would Xuanyuan let his own Soldiers protect you?"

Oh, the status was the same, equal. Now Changle was even less afraid: "My father is the King of Huaxia, which is what you call a Tribal Chief. We in Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe have a lot of cooperation. I came here for my own affairs, but it is also very important to the Xuanyuan Tribe, though it is hard to explain clearly to you what it is."

"Anyway, us being on the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe is not a problem. When you arrive at the Xuanyuan Tribe, Qingqiu City, just ask Dahong and you will know. If you are not afraid, you can set up camp here together. It just so happens that we are also preparing to return to Qingqiu City."

Bingzhu looked at Qianxi and Yangasha and the others; everyone nodded. As for being afraid? No one here was afraid; the Jiuli were all warriors.

"Good, then we will come over and set up camp together!"

As soon as Bingzhu finished speaking, everyone put away their Weaponry. Changle also ordered everyone to put their Weaponry away and go about their business, while he stood in place waiting for Bingzhu.

When both sides got close and looked, the few Xuanyuan Tribe Soldiers did indeed recognize Bingzhu. Now there were no problems at all. Bingzhu was also quite curious about this person from a tribe he had never heard of, so he walked directly to Changle's side and raised both his hands, which counted as a greeting and also meant: there is no Weapon in my hands.

Changle cupped his hands; two completely different etiquettes, but they did not cause any conflict.

Yangasha and Ayuduo saw Changle's notebook on the Wooden Table at a glance. They had seen this thing before; the paper also belonged to a part of the trade between their Jiuli and the Xuanyuan Tribe. It was very precious and extremely rare, yet there were so many on this Changle's Wooden Table.

Things like tables were also passed to the Jiuli through the Xuanyuan Tribe, but the Jiuli did not ask, and the Xuanyuan were too lazy to explain where these things came from. Anyway, everyone used things that were easy to use; before there were tables, didn't everyone find a stone slab or something to use as a base?

"Lei, go find some wooden stumps for the guests to sit on!" Changle gave an order to the air.

"Prince, Captain Lei has already been sent by you to dig for Gujiao; he is not here."

Changle was reminded and only then remembered this matter, but he was not embarrassed at all: "Then you go, find a few more."
