Chapter 288 Spies Meeting, Strange Old Man

In the distance in the jungle.

Several of the great men looked at the Shang tribe who had gone away, but they stopped following them because they knew that Shang Jiu had joined the Xia tribe.

These people found the Shang tribe behind. Because they had few people, they were afraid of being discovered by the Shang tribe, so they did not dare to get too close, so they could only follow them all the time.

When they were about to return to the root tribe, they suddenly found that a few people were watching the merchant tribes who were leaving.

And the other party actually discovered them long ago.

At this time, both sides looked at each other, guarding against each other, and did not speak.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and there were as many people on both sides. Even if the two sides fought, everyone would not be able to take much advantage.

There is a man under the great rank who is more bold, and his name is Badger.

He saw that the other party's clothes were definitely not from the Shang tribe or the Xia tribe, and they hid and monitored those people, which meant that they were also spies from another tribe. So he asked boldly:

"You also have a grudge against the merchant tribe?"

Among the other party, one of them said:

"We have a grudge against those who ride horses."

"I understand. You have a grudge against the Xia tribe, and we have a grudge against them."

The other party smiled on their faces. Their people were caught yesterday, and they still don’t know who they were riding horses.

They were sent to continue to investigate. If they just went back like this, they would definitely be punished by the leader. Now they know that the tribe is called Xia tribe, and the other party seems to know very well about the Xia tribe and can ask them for information.

So the people from both sides talked to each other, and only after this conversation did I realize that there were people on both sides who died at the hands of the Xia tribe, and the Xia tribe was their common enemy.

Perhaps there is a common enemy, and they both become familiar with each other and inform each other of the situation between the tribes.

The people on these two sides belong to the Leopard Tribe and the Root Tribe respectively.

Finally, the people from the Leopard Tribe invited the big men to the Leopard Tribe because they felt that the two tribes could unite to fight against the Xia Tribe together.

The spies of the Leopard Tribe wandered around the Xia Tribe for a day, and they didn't dare to get too close, so they didn't get anything. Because the patrol team of the Xia Tribe had wolf helping the patrol, they learned the power of the Xia Tribe through the people of the Root Tribe.

It is also easier to explain to the leader if the people from the Root Tribe go to the Leopard Tribe.

The spies from the Root Tribe were a little hesitant, and they wanted to go back and report earlier.

However, after knowing that the location of the Leopard Tribe is not far away, Daqi's subordinates thought they could go to the Leopard Tribe to take a look. Maybe they could find an ally for Daqi.

So, they disappeared into the dense forest, as if no one had ever been here.

Xia Tribe.

Wang Wei asked Xia Jin to arrange accommodation for merchants and tribes.

They were so hungry when they asked the kitchen to prepare food.

This time, the Xia tribe no longer guarded against them, so that the Shang tribes who had never been to the Xia tribe saw the scale of the Xia tribe. The busy Xia tribes, especially the newly built city wall, made them amazed.

Although Shang Jiu came to Xia Tribe several times, he and his caravan never entered the interior of the Xia Tribe's wall. He only knew that the Xia Tribe's wall was tall, and he didn't know what it looked like inside, and he didn't know what the wall was useful.

.

Wang Wei specially led the Shang tribes to visit the city walls to let them experience the strong strength of the Xia tribe and the charm of the Xia tribe workers.

The planning of the inner city of Xia Tribe, the newly built houses, and the busyness on the construction site shocked everyone in the Shang Tribe so that they dared not speak nonsense.

This made the Shang tribe people feel that it was such a wise choice to join the Xia tribe. The root tribe cannot be compared with the Xia tribe.

When the visit was almost done, the people in the kitchen said they could eat food.

Wang Wei knew that the Shang tribe had suffered too much on the road, and was cold and hungry.

When he arrived at Xia Tribe today, he arranged for them to visit and eat food first, and he would take a day off. He would be arranged to work tomorrow.

He asked Xia Jin to take them to the cafeteria and then take them to familiarize themselves with the environment of Xia tribe.

But not long after, when Wang Wei stood next to the sand table in the new city, a Xia tribe man came to him with an old man.

He has an impression of this old man and can use provocation.

The old man smiled and came to Wang Wei. He looked at the model of the city wall on the sand table and said:

"King, your city wall is the same as the city wall of the Dongyi people."

Wang Wei suddenly became alert. The old man said a name he had never heard of. Dongyi people? The key point was that Dongyi people also had such a city wall. He asked carefully:

"The same is true for the city walls of the Dongyi people? Is the layout of the city the same?"

"The Dongyi people live too far. I have been there when I was very young. I can't remember it very clearly. I remember that their city walls are made of mud, as if their city walls are taller than this one."

Wang Wei was shocked. He didn't expect the Dongyi people's city wall to be so tall.

"You were young at that time, did you remember the wrong thing?"

"How could I remember wrong? I remember that I was peeing on the city wall when I was a child and was beaten up by the people guarding the city."

"Are you scattering it on the city guard?"

"Haha, it seems."

"So, the city guard is standing under the city. How many city guards are there in the city wall you are talking about? "

"How do you know this? It should be that tall as two people."

Wang Wei was sure that the old man was sure to have two people that tall. He thought that the two were so tall, and the city wall was at most three meters, five or six meters high. How could it be compared with the city wall of the Xia tribe that was five meters high?

"Then why do you say that the city wall of the Dongyi people is higher than that of the Xia tribe?"

"I have seen the city walls of Xia tribe, and I feel that the city walls are not as high as those of the Dongyi people."

Wang Wei didn't know how he calculated it, so he could only see his memory when he was a child. But looking at this old man, he didn't want to lie.

"You said you were from the Dao Tribe, why did you go to the Dongyi people?"

"Who said I was from the Dao Tribe? I was from the Dongyi. But I grew up in the Dao Tribe and didn't come out until I was old."

Wang Wei was increasingly unable to see this old man. He lived in Dongyi when he was a child, and when he grew up, he lived in the Dao Tribe. When he was old, he sold himself and wandered around with another tribe.

"How far is Dongyi?"

"I don't know, it's far away."

"You've never been there again?"

"No."

"Why did you come from Dongyi to the Dao Tribe?"

"Because my father and mother went to the rice tribe."

"Your father is from the Rice Tribe?"

"Yes."

"You should be considered a member of the Dao Tribe. Then why did you sell yourself and wander with Shang Jiu?"

"Haha, I didn't sell myself. I told Shang Jiu that I could teach him to grow rice, and then I would leave. Who knew that the Shang tribe offended the barbarians of the Root tribe."

Wang Wei knew from Shang Jiu that the Dao Tribe and the Root Tribe had a grudge, so the old man had a bad impression of the Root Tribe.

"Let me summarize, the Dongyi you know is just the memory of your childhood, right?"

"Yes."

"I know that a person will miss things when he was a child, and it is very deep. If I guess it is good, you were only four or five years old when you left Dongyi."

"What four or five years old?"

"It's... the wild flowers in the wilderness bloom five times in a row, each time being one year."

Wang Wei really couldn't find an explanation about the year.

The old man thought for a while and said:

“It should be.”

Wang Wei smiled and said:

"Did you think the walls of the Dongyi tribe are very tall because you were too young at that time? For example, since you were a child, you thought that your father was tall and mighty, and you would have an insurmountable feeling in both your body and your heart.

In fact, when you grow up, you find that your dad is not as tall as you?”

The old man also smiled and said:

"The king is right, I always feel this way."

Why did Wang Wei determine the height of the city wall of the Dongyi people? The main reason is that the old man gave him a bit big today. It was the first time I heard of the Dongyi people, and the first time I heard of the Dongyi people had a city wall. He wanted to ask

Ask the Dongyi people about economic and political issues, but considering that the old man has left since childhood, what he knows is not necessarily very clear.
