Chapter 317: Drugging Again
The great elder gave an order to directly cut off the contact between the tribe and the eldest prince of the Hidden Kingdom.
No matter whether they were people returning from the tribe or people sent out, they were all secretly stopped by the tiger leader's men, locked up for simple interrogation and custody.
"Great Elder, are we really going to just ignore the tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield?" When Chief Tiger first received this order, he asked the Great Elder in confusion.
The tribe has been declining in recent years, and the number of newborns is decreasing year by year. Some of them die young, or they simply die.
For this reason, the elders and tribal chiefs were all worried. The tens of thousands of people taken away by the eldest prince were equivalent to 60% to 70% of the adult men in the entire tribe. If they died in this war...
"Great Elder, if they don't come back, our tribe will not be able to recover for at least 20 years." The tiger chief was distressed, and such a big man almost shed tears.
The elders knew the interests involved, but when they thought about it... they could only grit their teeth and let it go. There is gain and loss, and for the long-term development of the tribe, they had to make this choice.
"We understand this, but Chief Tiger, we have no choice!" When the Great Elder said this, his voice was choked with sobs.
The tiger leader stood in front of the third elder's room, looking at the waves of lush green in front of him, one higher than the other, light green, dark jade, one layer above the other.
This should be the season when everything comes back to life, but it makes people feel a little breathless. Just like his current mood.
What exactly are the elders worried about? Is it more important than the lives of tens of thousands of tribesmen?
Or who are the elders trying to lure out by allowing, or even condoning, the Great Prince of the Hidden Country and Soma to direct this drama?
It concerns future generations, isn’t it?
The tiger leader turned his gaze towards the direction of the Holy Maiden Temple and found that the holy light was even brighter than in the previous few days. He could vaguely see the scattered light gradually gathering and forming a beam of light that went straight into the sky.
Seeing this, his heart suddenly shook, his pupils constricted, and the tiger leader realized that he might have guessed the truth of the matter.
Inside the house, watching the Tiger Chief walk out with a face full of lawsuits, even the Second Elder, who always behaved very detached, couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Brother, have you really made up your mind?"
"It's not about whether I can make up my mind or not, but we have no choice, right?"
"Can she really shoulder this responsibility?" The Third Elder, who had become taciturn since his abilities faded, asked at this time.
“Alas,” Hearing this, the Great Elder sighed, “Third sister, we can only place our hopes on her. I hope that God will have mercy on our tribe and send the Saint to descend soon, so that the tribe can escape the misfortune and end the war.”
After saying this, the Great Elder seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
At the same time, Soma was also losing his temper in his bedroom. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and was about to throw it to the ground.
Xiao Tao, who couldn't get away and followed in, had to rush forward to stop her, "Miss, if this is smashed again, there will really be no tea bowls to use." Seeing Soma's angry eyes, she hurriedly added: "Besides, Master Situ lives next door, it would be bad if he heard it."
Seeing that Soma was stunned, he hurriedly took the tea bowl from her and put it back on the table carefully.
Soma felt as if there was a ferocious beast living in his chest, running rampant inside, unable to find a way out, causing pain in his heart, liver, and lungs.
I wanted to find something to vent my feelings, but then I saw Xiao Tao's look of fear as if she was facing a great enemy. I felt angry and bored at the same time.
"Go, bring me a bowl of cold water."
"Yes, yes, I'll be right there." Seeing that Soma had calmed down, Xiao Tao hurried to pour her tea, fearing that she would become fickle again and bring harm to herself.
After drinking a bowl of herbal tea, Soma felt his temper improved. He then had the energy to think about what to do next.
Without the herbs, I can't make the powder to send to the eldest prince. However, I haven't received any urging news recently, so the progress should be good over there. I won't use it for the time being.
Then the most important thing before Soma was only one other thing - Situ Yidun.
Seeing the holy energy emanating from him becoming increasingly strong, Soma was delighted but also increasingly anxious. If things were delayed, things would change, and she didn't have much time left.
"Come on, take me to see my warehouse yesterday." Thinking of this, Soma put down the tea bowl in his hand and stood up.
The keys and accounts of their own small warehouse are in Xiaotao's hands.
Although Xiao Tao wanted to distance herself from Soma, she only covered for the Third Elder and secretly passed on some information. Soma had great prestige, so she didn't dare to do anything more.
Soma had some talent in medicine since she was young. Before the Third Elder's accident, the Saint Maiden Hall did not always respond to Soma's requests, but it was not far off. So over the years, she had accumulated a lot of various herbs in her private storehouse.
After rummaging and picking for nearly an hour, Soma finally walked out of the warehouse with a dozen herbs in his hands.
"Miss, are you going to research a new recipe again?" Xiao Tao asked with pretended curiosity.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Why haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
Xiaotao shrank her neck and dared not say another word.
After careful observation, the prescription given to the third elder was not changed, nor was it given to anyone else. In addition, Soma stared at the room where Situ Yidong was for longer and longer periods of time, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes. Xiao Tao had an idea in her mind.
In the evening, taking the opportunity to deliver medicine to the third elder, he relayed what he had discovered to the elders.
"You did a great job, you are a good boy. Tell us in time if there is any abnormal situation," the great elder praised while stroking his beard.
"Child, remember to protect yourself." Before Xiao Tao left, the third elder reminded her gently.
The world is a big chess game and we are all players in it.
With the help of Fat Tiger and Wild Wolf, Meixiang and his group moved much faster. In just two days, they arrived at the last stronghold set up by Chen San and his group. It was less than fifty miles away from Feng Yijia's location, and less than sixty miles away from crossing the entire back mountain.
"Everyone should take a good rest tonight, and we will complete the whole journey in one go tomorrow." Meixiang wiped her wet face and said with a smile.
Fat Tiger and Little Fat had done a great job this time. Looking at the two little ones and a few wild wolves that had surrounded them, Meixiang rubbed their heads with a smile and said, "You've worked hard. When we get back to the Liu residence, Aunt Li will give you some chicken legs."
"Ouch..."
The two little ones excitedly wagged their tails, and everyone was speechless. They really wanted to tell them, you are the future tiger king and white wolf king, not domesticated puppies, okay? !
Mr. Dou seized every opportunity to organize the herbs he had dug along the way.
