Chapter 1068: A Profitable Trade

"Is there really a tribe chasing behind us?"

Shaoyin laughed very happily and comfortably: "Hahahaha, you can turn back and look, then you will know. It's just that I don't know if you have the courage to go back. While you are here, all you have to face is us. If your tribe gives us food and supplies, that will be enough, and I can let you pass. But after you turn back, is it still possible for you to escape?"

Chisongzi's teeth itched with hatred: "Kid, tell me your name. Can you make decisions here? Didn't you say you are from the Xuanyuan Tribe? Let Xuanyuan come out!"

"It is the alliance of the Xuanyuan Tribe and Huaxia!"

Xiong rode a War Ox and emerged from behind a row of Cavalry. Beside him on an ox was Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan was now also riding a War Ox of Huaxia; it was quite simple to ride, and he had been riding it for some time now, feeling very relaxed.

Fenghou and Limu did not come out; they were watching from the hillside nearby and did not go out to steal the limelight.

"I am Xiong, the commander of the Huaxia army!"

"I am the Xuanyuan you are looking for!"

The two men stepped forward one by one, their momentum and bearing quite imposing. For a moment, they caught Chisongzi off guard, and in terms of momentum, Chisongzi was already a cut below.

Chisongzi looked at the two of them and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "There are people chasing me from behind. Is this a fact? Are you sure?"

Xiong said: "Behind you, there are indeed a very large number of people, but which tribe they belong to and what they are here for, we do not know. You can guess and test it out. If they are the same as you, perhaps you could even defeat us together here."

"If they are here to hunt you down, I think that in the end, it will be even easier for us here. Regardless of whether it is you or them, to us, the tribes that have already been exhausted are the easiest to conquer."

Chisongzi pointed a finger at Xuanyuan: "You are Xuanyuan, can you give me a guarantee?"

Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Of course I can give you a guarantee. As long as you can pay us a sufficient price, the road here can naturally be opened for you, and we will also block those chasing you from behind."

"If you are going to the Jiuli, then take advantage of the fact that it is still early and set off quickly so you can reach the Jiuli before the weather turns cold. Otherwise, if you delay and delay here, you will run out of time."

"Why are you willing to help me block those chasing me? What can you gain?"

Xuanyuan truly began to laugh this time: "I am not helping you block them, but because this is what I want to do. We came here to attack your Shennong Clan, seize your land, and plunder your population. For tribes like yours that want to leave the Shennong Clan, I can let you leave, as long as you give enough."

"But for those tribes that will not leave the Shennong Clan, why should I let them leave here? Attacking them is our goal, so this just happens to help you block them, doesn't it?"

After Chisongzi hesitated and thought for a long while, he tentatively asked: "Then tell me, what do you want? Tell me, and I will see if I can satisfy you."

Xuanyuan said immediately: "I want all the Slaves of your tribe, all the furs, Bronze ware, and jade. I will only leave you enough food so that you have a chance to reach the Jiuli. How do you find such terms?"

Chisongzi shouted immediately: "Impossible, impossible! You are being too excessive. To want so much, on what grounds?"

Xuanyuan pointed a hand: "On the grounds of my Soldiers here, and the pursuers behind you. You have no choice. If you satisfy our demands, at least your Soldiers will not be harmed and will all be safe."

"You cannot bypass this place either. As long as you want to bypass this place, we will immediately come to chase you and treat you the same as all the Shennong Tribe. Chisongzi, if you fail, we will not care whether you are Yushi; you will only be one of our Slaves."

Chisongzi was truly about to go mad with anger now. Why was he being threatened right here? Yet he was unwilling to be threatened like this. But to fight? It seemed he couldn't quite win, because Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe had a large number of young and strong Soldiers, while his side did not have such a considerable number of Soldiers and still had to protect their women and children, having many concerns.

Just as Chisongzi and his Soldiers and clansmen were constantly thinking and discussing, Shaoyin placed a hand on his forehead to look into the distance, then shouted: "Yushi! You might as well turn your heads and look. That tribe behind seems to have caught some very good prey. They have already started to light fires and cook at this time? Look at that smoke, how about it? Very nice, right."

Chisongzi looked back in surprise and could indeed see smoke rising in the distance. The quantity was not large, but this was something only humans could do. At this, he truly believed that there was indeed a tribe chasing him from behind. He could roughly guess which tribes might be following him, and he could already imagine what they were here for.

This cooking smoke was the final push that forced Chisongzi to make a decision. Although it was a bit of a loss, this was the optimal solution to escape smoothly for now.

Thus, Chisongzi said to Xuanyuan and Xiong: "Fine, I agree to your demands. You want Slaves? I will give you all the Slaves I have here."

"Furs can be given to you, but you cannot take away the things we use to set up Tents and sleep. Jade can be given to you, but my Dharma Artifact cannot. Bronze ware can be given to you, but my own Weapon cannot, and the Ritual Vessel cannot either. If you want to seize our Ritual Vessel, that means you want to destroy our Yushi Tribe, and then we will definitely go to war with you until we all die in battle!"
