Chapter 228 The Upheaval of the Tangxi Tribe

After another five days of trekking, at noon that day, the somewhat familiar Tangxi River appeared in front of Niu Xu again.

In the past few days, Niu Xu's luck can be considered quite good. Not long after he set off from the small tribe where he stayed overnight, he met a caravan that happened to be on the way.

After he used the powder of wild Radix Radix as witchcraft to relieve and cure the headache caused by the cold of the caravan leader; The pack animals were on their way, and the food and drink were served, which was an indescribable comfort.

When resting at night, although some of them had to sleep in the wilderness for several nights; but with the tents provided by the caravan and the safety guarantee provided by the caravan, Niu Xu still felt much better than camping alone before.

When parting ways with the caravan this morning, the enthusiastic caravan leader gave a large leg of lamb to Master Niu without any explanation, saying that he wanted Niu Xu to serve as food for a while.

So after arriving at the Tangxi River, Mr. Niu set up a fire in the cold river wind and began to grill this leg of lamb weighing tens of catties for lunch; The giant tortoise used to cross the river appears...

However, it seemed that the continuous good luck of the previous few days only made Niu Xu's good luck run out.

After squatting here at the ferry and eating half of the leg of lamb, he waited for several hours; until after five o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the sky was about to darken, he was still on the broad river without seeing To the figure of the giant tortoise.

That night, Niu Xu once again slept in the wild alone, which can be regarded as reliving the rather miserable days before he dressed up as a traveling doctor a few days ago.

Because of the proximity to the river, the lingering river wind made Mr. Niu very cold even when he stayed in the tent. He tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well at all. It wasn't until midnight that he filled himself with half a bottle of Red Star Erguotou. some.

Fortunately, early in the morning, Niu Xu, who was still sleeping in a daze, heard the sound of heavy splashes coming from the river; suddenly he regained his energy, and after quickly sticking his head out of the tent, he saw the water on the river. The familiar figure of the giant tortoise appeared.

After the giant tortoise landed, a medium-sized caravan with about two hundred people got off the giant tortoise one by one.

One of the figures who looked like a leader glanced at the size of the embers in Niu Xu's fire, and said with a smile: "This young traveling doctor, it seems that your luck is really good, it seems that you just stayed on the shore One night, I waited until the giant tortoise crossing the river appeared."

"Don't the giant tortoises of the Tangxi Tribe go back and forth every day? It seems that what you said is not the case now. Could it be that there is still a long time before the Tangxi Tribe's fair will be held this month. "Niu Xu asked curiously.

"Tangxi tribe's trade fair?" The caravan leader couldn't help showing a sneer on his face after hearing the words: "It seems that you, a young traveling doctor, still only know the old news; The trade fair has been abolished for more than half a year."

Having said that, all his caravans got off the giant tortoise; the leader of the caravan smiled at Niu Xu after seeing this, and left the bewildered Niu Xu behind. out of here...

"That wandering doctor, do you still plan to cross the river? If you want to cross the river, come up early." An abrupt voice came from the giant tortoise.

Niu Xu quickly put away his thoughts and trotted all the way onto the back of the giant tortoise.

After climbing on the back of the turtle, Niu Xu didn't notice the existence of the old acquaintance Tangxi among the members of the Tangxi tribe who commanded the giant tortoise; He really didn't want the Tangxi tribe to recognize him.

Although his attire at this time is completely different from the last time.

In addition, because of the wind, food and sleep along the way, he has already become a little unrecognizable to himself; but wouldn't it be better to prevent the Tangxi tribe from recognizing him?

Because he was really interested in the recent changes in the Tangxi tribe, Niu Xu began to get close to the big man who commanded the giant tortoise.

He handed over the roast leg of lamb that was still half eaten in his hand, and asked: "This mighty warrior, I don't know if he has eaten breakfast. This leg of lamb is still quite fresh. I don't know if you want to come here." Go up."

Hearing this, the big man commanding the giant tortoise took the whole leg of lamb from Niu Xu's hand without any politeness, and started to eat it.

From the wolfish posture of the big man when he ate the leg of lamb, Niu Xu could tell that he obviously hadn't eaten anything in the morning; this was obviously inconsistent with the bullish appearance of this large tribe when he came to the Tangxi tribe last time .

Otherwise, how can a big man who can be regarded as a small boss eat such an ugly look, as if he hasn't seen the taste of meat for many days.

Also, Niu Xu noticed a detail just now. Before the giant tortoise set off, the personnel in charge of the giant tortoise even omitted the step of feeding the giant tortoise. How much savings must be made to do such a thing? Come.

Coupled with the details revealed in the words of the caravan leader just now, no matter how dull Niu Xu is, he can guess that the Tangxi tribe must have undergone drastic changes, and it is still changing drastically in a bad direction...

In a few minutes, the big man gnawed at least ten catties of lamb leg hanging on the bone, as clean as a dog; after the big man finished eating, he looked kindly towards Niu Xu stand up.

Seeing this, Niu Xu also directly asked the doubts in his heart; maybe the reason why the Tangxi tribe has become so bad is no longer a secret. Say it:

In the winter of last year, the Tangxi tribe suffered heavy losses in the battle with Manwu for the benefit promised by the woman in black in the Wudian. Niu Xu knew this for a long time.

What he didn't know was that even after a year had passed, the benefits promised by the woman in black still hadn't been fulfilled; to a large extent, the Tangxi tribe didn't have to have much expectation for this benefit.

If this is the case alone, the Tangxi tribe will always restore its former strength to its previous level by spending a little more time relying on the income from the trade fair.

But to make matters worse, starting more than half a year ago, on the final road from the middle of the plain to here, a large tribe called Tuji suddenly rose in strength.

Relying on their soaring strength, they began to impose high fees on caravans passing through their tribal territory; for a while, the number of caravans coming to Tangxi Tribe to participate in the trade fair became much smaller.

The prosperous trade fair held by the Tangxi Tribe has suddenly become so cold...

Niu Xu didn't know why Jiang Yun's caravan, who also came from the middle of the plain, didn't mention this to himself. Maybe those high fees were still within their acceptable range.

It's just that when Master Niu heard the name 'Turkish Tribe', his heart suddenly began to overwhelm; hundreds of years ago, the mortal enemy who drove the Black Stone Tribe to the Luolei Mountains in despair, wasn't it the native chicken tribe?
