Chapter 1134: Arranging the Fengbo Tribe
"Is that so... Then that is indeed a bit of a pity. Opportunities to ask Baifeng questions are still rare, and basically, if you ask, you can get an answer. No matter how many stars there are in Heaven, he can give you an answer," Xuanxiao said with a sigh.
Qianxi nearly spat out the water he had just taken into his mouth: "No, how does he even know that? How many did he say there were? I've counted for many days, and it feels like every few days it's a bit different; it's impossible to count them all."
"He said that they are just uncountable. The stars in Heaven are as numerous as the sand on the ground; they are uncountable and there is no need to count them, but one can look at those more strange, brighter stars, which are very useful."
At the first half of the sentence, Qianxi was about to start ranting—wasn't this just nonsense? —but the second half successfully made him interested: "What kind of special stars? And what is the use of that?"
Xuanxiao spread his hands: "I don't know about that either. I haven't counted them. That is what he said, but I haven't verified it."
The conversation died right there, and Qianxi did not ask further. Dahong and the others also felt that they could no longer extract any useful information from the mouths of the War Master and his group, so they changed the subject and asked: "When are you planning to set off?"
"Today. We will pack our things in a moment and leave immediately. The time is already too late; it is several tens of days behind the expected schedule. Perhaps the Jiuli side is already very anxious."
Since the War Master had already made arrangements, Dahong and the others found it difficult to ask them to stay, and they truly did not want to stay any longer either. With a group of people from other tribes in their own home, they felt constrained and inconvenienced in everything they did.
The Jiuli did not forget the War Master and his group, but Chiyou's mind was currently on Fengbo. The Fengbo Tribe had arrived at Dayeze smoothly and brought so many clansmen, which made Chiyou very happy. It was not just because his own tribe's strength had increased, but also because of Fengbo himself. Fengbo was a Great Shaman who could summon wind, which was very important for a tribe. Moreover, if things went smoothly, Yushi would also come to the Jiuli, and then the Jiuli would be like the former Shennong Clan, having both wind and rain.
Having already made promises to the Fengbo Tribe, he naturally would not break his word now. Chiyou divided a territory for the Fengbo Tribe that was close to the Suiren Clan. The area was very large, located on the edge of Dayeze, with plenty of water and sufficient food. Most importantly, it was not that humid, so Fengbo could adapt better.
Chiyou also kept Fengbo specifically by his side and gave him power, allowing him to participate in the management of the Jiuli, but this would distance him from his clansmen. This was a means to restrict Fengbo. By the time Fengbo realized it, there was no way out, and he could only accept it, hoping only that Chiyou would not be a Leader like Linkui.
Here, he had already heard many words praising Chiyou, and many people from other tribes also respected Chiyou enough. But after all, he had come from a very far place, and his previous relationship with the Jiuli was not good. Chiyou said so with his mouth, but would he really treat him as well as he treated other tribes? Fengbo himself had no bottom line in his heart.
At the same time, Chiyou, using the excuse that the people of the Fengbo Tribe did not understand Dayeze, divided the entire Fengbo Tribe into two halves. He said he had arranged the territory for him there, but in reality, only half of the clansmen went, and tens of thousands of Jiuli clansmen went over to help with construction and live together. In any case, nominally, it was all the Fengbo Tribe.
The remaining half stayed at Dayeze, separated into groups of several thousand and scattered to live in other tribes. In this way, the Fengbo Tribe was completely broken up. Nominally, the Fengbo Tribe still existed, and Fengbo was still the Tribal Chief of that tribe, but in reality, the people had already been swapped out. At least half of the people did not have that much faith in Fengbo, and Fengbo's orders were not so easy to execute.
Chiyou was naturally wary of outsiders who also possessed great power; everything had to be under his own control. Even for Fengbo, whom he valued highly and who had come to join him, if the Yushi Tribe came, it would only be the same result.
As for the two, Fengbo and Yushi, whatever good treatment they wanted, they had it. Chiyou was not bad to them and was good enough to them, and he would not mistreat their clansmen; he only wanted to weaken and disperse their strength. If they were to grow and develop within the Jiuli, Chiyou needed time to judge whether their hearts were truly loyal to the Jiuli.
Because the Shennong Clan was too harsh to them, leading them to want to leave—this was completely fine. But if the Shennong Clan had been very good to them and they were still unsatisfied and left anyway, then Chiyou would consider whether they were loyal enough and whether they could be managed.
Upon returning, Pengtu felt that some people were missing, so he asked Chiyou: "Big Brother! Where did the War Master go? Why don't I see him? According to the time, it should be time for him to be back, right?"
Chiyou stroked his belly and said: "He should be back soon. The Xuanyuan Tribe is so far away; it is perfectly normal to be a few days late. No need to worry. With so many Soldiers by his side, nothing will happen. If the Xuanyuan Tribe dares to make a move, they will have to consider whether they can withstand the fury of my Jiuli."
Chiyou's other son, Daye, stood straight to the side, very sturdy. Pengtu walked over with satisfaction and patted his chest: "Daye, you've grown sturdy again. Hurry and have a few children with Ayimodo. With such a good body, you should have more."
Daye chuckled: "Uncle Pengtu, we are having them, we are having them. It's your son Shi who keeps thinking about my sister Ayuduo. He's no good. You'd better hurry and find him another woman. Ayuduo doesn't fancy him; she thinks he's too thin."
"This time she even followed the War Master. Maybe she'll meet a man she happens to like on the road, and then they'll be together. I'm afraid Shi will never be able to wait for her."
Pengtu's face looked a bit worried: "He only has eyes for Ayuduo, but Ayuduo doesn't fancy him. I can't help it either. Besides, he is my son; why can't he grow fat? He's always been so thin. Never mind Ayuduo, no woman fancies him. Feeding him so much meat doesn't help at all."
Chiyou patted the stone slab he was sitting on: "Oh, alright. When Ayuduo returns, I will ask her again. This... although Shi is a bit thin, he is your son after all. He can grow so tall, he will definitely be able to grow sturdy. Feed him more fatty meat; I don't believe he will never grow fat. Could it be that there are worms in his belly competing with him for food?"
