In the wilderness, the Shang tribe people seemed particularly lonely and helpless.

Their clothes were shabby and could not withstand the cold wind, causing them to shiver and turn pale.

The wind pierced their skin like a knife and seemed to freeze their bones. They had no choice but to huddle in the cold wind and try their best to protect their last remaining body temperature.

In order to get to Xia tribe as soon as possible, Shang Jiu spent the night in the wild last night. The cold weather was already unbearable.

After finally surviving the night, we headed towards the Xia Tribe early in the morning. We expected that Xia Tribe would be entertained, but we didn't expect that the things we had done for Da Qi would be known to others.

Most people in the Shang tribe don't know about this, not even the women of Shang Jiu.

Only then did we know that Shang Jiu once worked for Da Qi, but now he is being hunted by Da Qi. What's even more ironic is that he has come to seek refuge with the Xia tribe. It is understandable that the Xia tribe is unwilling to take in the Shang tribe people.

They complained that Shang Jiu served the great leader of the root tribe, which in turn made it impossible for the Shang tribe to gain a foothold.

Shang Jiu had no choice but to explain that he was forced by Da Qi to come to the Xia tribe to investigate the news, and exaggerated Da Qi's threats.

At the end of his speech, he actually cried sadly and seemed to be greatly wronged.

The women and children of the Shang tribe were also crying. They were cold, hungry, and now had no place to live. Thinking that there was no way to survive, they all cried louder and louder.

Hu Meizi was a little flustered. She didn't want to see people cry, especially women and children. Did she think she had done something wrong? But she immediately thought of the safety of the Xia tribe, and the lives of the Xia tribe people were more important, and her heart became

Get hard.

Hu Meizi asked the team members to give them the kettles they brought with them and let them light a fire to keep warm while they waited.

When Wang Wei arrived, he saw a large group of people from the Shang tribe gathered around, with a fire in the middle roasting food.

When Shang Jiu saw Wang Wei, he crawled to Wang Wei's side and knelt down consciously.

He knew that the king of the Xia tribe already knew about his relationship with Daqi, and he did not hide it and told everything.

"...Da Qi found my father, and he gave me a woman. My father agreed to let me go to the Xia tribe to trade. Da Qi mainly wanted to get the Xia tribe's sharp spears. I came to the Xia tribe several times,

I didn't dare to mention the transaction of spears for fear of being suspected. Daqi was dissatisfied with me. Later, Daqi felt that the reason why he couldn't trade spears was because the king of the Xia tribe was there. They wanted to get rid of the king because they knew that the king liked good-looking women.

, let me bring those two women who look exactly the same."

Wang Wei didn't expect that his likes and dislikes would be known to his enemies, and they would specifically target his weaknesses. How much does Daqi hate himself?

"Are you saying that Da Qi sent those two women to the Xia tribe to kill me?"

"I don't know what he said to those two women."

Hu Meizi said: "The big pair and the little pair are so weak, how can they kill people?"

"I really don't know, he just wants me to bring people to the Xia tribe."

Wang Wei understood that Daqi was just trying to use women to hollow out his body and then make himself die of illness. It was amazing that primitive people could come up with such a beauty trap.

This had precedents in the world before Wang Wei, such as Emperor Xianfeng. It was said that he was so lustful that he played himself to death.

"I saw so many of you, young and old, coming to the Xia tribe. Did they encounter some kind of disaster?"

"Yes, we were attacked by Daqi, and my father was also beaten to death by them."

"Why did Daqi harm you?"

"Last time I delivered rice to the Xia tribe, Da Qi felt that I had betrayed him."

Wang Wei understood what he meant and was punished with a big weapon for giving food to the Xia tribe, but this punishment was a bit big.

But is this really the case?

Wang Wei felt that it was not important now, because he saw that Shang Jiu was really desperate, and those women and children looked really pitiful.

"When you come to the Xia Tribe this time, it won't be another show arranged by Da Qi, right?"

Shang Jiu couldn't understand it, but he probably knew the meaning.

"Your Majesty, the person I hate the most right now and the person I want to kill the most is Da Qi. I sincerely bring the Shang Tribe people to join the Xia Tribe."

"You know a lot of tribes, why did you join the Xia tribe?"

"Because only the Xia tribe is the most powerful, and it is a tribe that no one dares to offend. In addition, this time I also brought the rice that the Xia tribe needs, as well as people who can grow rice."

The strange old man stood up and said:

"I am the person he said can grow rice. I am originally from the rice tribe."

Wang Wei asked: "You are from the Dao tribe, why do you follow Shang Jiu?"

"He traded me in salt."

Wang Wei thought that the temperament of this old man did not look like a farmer at all, but he should not rely on appearances.

"How many people came with you?"

"There is another boy, but he can't grow rice."

"That means you are the only one who can plant it."

The strange old man patted his skinny chest and said:

"You give me people, and I can take them and plant them for you."

Wang Wei saw that he was so confident, so he must have some ability.

"Very good, then you stay in the Xia tribe."

The strange old man pointed at the people of the Shang tribe and asked:

"What about them? If they don't join the Xia tribe, then I won't join either."

Wang Wei thought to himself that this old man had a personality.

But what he said will make the Shang tribe people have a favorable impression of him. Especially after the Shang tribe people join the Xia tribe, they will also be grateful to him. How can this be done? He said:

"How do you know I won't let them join the Xia tribe?"

The strange old man was speechless, but then he smiled.

Wang Wei saw his proud look, this old man is not simple.

"The people of the Shang tribe listened carefully. This king officially announced: Considering that Shang Jiu was used by the powerful weapon of the Gen tribe and was harmed by the powerful weapon, causing the people of the Shang tribe to live in the wilderness, helpless and helpless, and sincerely took refuge in the Xia tribe.

My great king is saddened by his misfortune, and Shang Jiu has outstanding abilities and is a rare talent. Therefore, my great king announces that the people of the Shang tribe will join the Xia tribe and become a member of the Xia tribe."

Shang Jiu, who was kneeling on the ground, was moved to tears and said loudly:

"The king is kind and saves the lives of the young and old of the Shang tribe. I, Shang Jiu, swear to be loyal to the Xia tribe and to the king. The people of the Shang tribe will always follow the Xia tribe and never forget the kindness of the king!"

Shang Jiu is really a good trader and can speak well.

Wang Wei helped Shang Jiu up, patted his shoulder and said:

"There is another reason why this king has taken you in, that is, you have not done any substantial harm to the Xia tribe, and the Xia tribe has not suffered any losses. This king will not deal with you just because you provided the little information to Da Qi.

You, because Daqi is useless even if he knows about it, but it will still be of some benefit to our Xia tribe."

Shang Jiu raised his waist and asked, "What's the benefit?"

"At least Daqi knows how powerful the Xia tribe is, and he can't provoke the Xia tribe in the future."

"The king is right, Daqi is worried about another thing now. The old leader of the Gen tribe is no longer useful, and Daqi and Dagan are competing for the position of chief."

"Very good, go back to the Xia tribe and tell me about the Gen tribe in detail."

For Wang Wei, this is good news. They are fighting internally. The Xia tribe has temporarily lost one enemy recently. He has time to deal with other tribes. At present, the one he should deal with most is the Pan tribe, but considering the Pan tribe and the Bear tribe,

To collude, he still has to wait for the best opportunity. As for the Beidi people, they are his biggest enemies, and he cannot easily fight against them. He can only deal with them.

Wang Wei asked everyone to pack their supplies and prepare to return to the Xia tribe.

The lifelessness and crying of the Shang tribe people just now were gone. After their worries were completely gone, they all had excited smiles on their faces, and everyone was full of hope.

Before setting off, Shang Jiu gathered the Shang tribe people. He asked everyone to kneel facing Wang Wei and thanked the king again for his kindness. Then he introduced Wang Wei to the Shang tribe people and asked the Shang tribe people to pay homage to the king.

Although Wang Wei found this a bit troublesome, he did not object.

He asked the people of the Shang tribe to continue to have the surname Shang, and in the future they could only have children with people with other surnames in the Xia tribe.

Hu Meizi has been following Wang Wei, quietly observing the supplies of the Shang tribe. The harvest this time is indeed rich, not only food, but also so many people.

On the way back, Shang Jiu said:

"Shang Jiu thanks your Majesty very much. We will follow your Majesty's arrangements and open up wasteland to plant rice for your Majesty so that the Xia tribe will become better and better."

Wang Wei said:

"Haha, I'm not planning to let you open up wasteland and farm the land. You are a talented person and you should use it in a place that suits you."

"I obey your Majesty."

"There's another thing I'm curious about. The people I captured in the past became slaves. Of course, they are now Xia tribe people. Why don't they recognize you?"

Shang Jiu explained that it was because of Shang Bayi that he did not have much contact with other tribes.
