Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 470 Gu Tribe, the best vessel
Without Shi Xie, the burden that slowed down their progress, their speed of advancement more than doubled. After all, they were a group of special soldiers with the basic attributes of a third-rate general. Even if they took turns carrying Shi Xie, they could still keep up with the speed of advancement.

Finally, after about two hours and after walking through a long and narrow valley, a tribe that was out of tune with the surrounding environment came into their sight.

As soon as they walked out of the canyon, they saw the leader of the Gu Women tribe who was already waiting at the exit. This was the second time he had met this tribe leader, but he was still attracted by her special temperament and could not take his eyes off her. It was not until Shi Xie coughed a few times that Sun Jian, who was standing in a daze, came back to his senses.

"Disrespect, disrespect."

Sun Jian hurriedly bowed and saluted the clan leader without any airs of a great prince. Shi Xie looked at Sun Jian with some disdain, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

"Long time no see, my lord, Governor Sunzhou."

When the tribe leader called Sun Jian, his voice was so gentle and sweet that Sun Jian's bones were softened by it. Shi Xie, on the other hand, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, because the tribe leader treated him the same way when he first came to the Gu Nu tribe.

Sun Jian was not a fool whose brain was controlled by his genitals. He soon realized that he had been tricked and took a deep breath. He didn't know how the poison was spread, but the best way he could deal with it now was undoubtedly to hold his breath.

Seeing Sun Jian like this, the face covered by the veil seemed to smile shyly.

"Why, is Governor Sun afraid that I will put a curse on him?"

When Sun Jian heard this, he stopped holding his breath and laughed.

"I haven't seen the clan leader for a long time. I feel a little uncomfortable. It doesn't mean I doubt the clan leader."

Although Sun Jian did not show much fear of the Gu woman before coming, when he really faced her, he felt a strong throbbing deep in his heart, because he only had one life, and if it was gone, everything else was meaningless. And the person standing only ten feet away from him was the one who could take his life without him noticing, how could he not be worried.

"Who is this?"

The clan leader's eyes were always on Sun Ce behind them. The only thing exposed on her face, her eyes, seemed to emit a green light at this moment, staring at Sun Ce, as if Sun Ce was not a human being, but some kind of delicacy in the world, and she was a person waiting to be tasted.

This feeling made Sun Ce feel extremely uncomfortable. If his father had not been there and this woman happened to be the person his father was looking for, he would have probably taken action long ago and shot this person dead.

"Oh, this is my eldest son, Sun Bofu. Bofu, I haven't met the clan leader yet."

Sun Jian turned and gestured to Sun Ce, who raised his hands and clasped his fists in salute.

"Bo Fu, I meet the clan leader."

However, the clan leader's eyes were still fixed on Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce feel very uncomfortable and he had no choice but to speak.

"Why is the Patriarch staring at me?"

After being promoted to a legendary general, Sun Ce's every word and action seemed to be in line with the Way of Heaven. When he spoke at this moment, it was as if he was asking the Heaven for help. It might not sound like anything to ordinary people and his own people, but if the enemy heard it, it would be as if he was speaking the law of Heaven.

The reason why Guan Yu killed several second-rate generals and one first-rate general with a single roar outside the city of Jiangxia County was because of this.

Although not deliberately targeting anyone, to others, Sun Ce's words still sounded like the sound of heaven.

"Bofu, good name, I like it."

The clan leader smiled slightly and stopped staring at Sun Ce. He just glanced at Shi Xie who was standing beside him. Shi Xie just smiled slightly in response to the clan leader's look.

"Everyone, please come in."

The chieftain turned around and walked towards the tribe. Sun Jian, Shi Xie and Sun Ce walked in sync and followed behind the chieftain. Behind them came the 200 elite soldiers they brought with them. They all looked at everything in front of them with curiosity and discussed the new things.

However, among the outsiders present, only Shi Xie knew what the look in the clan leader's eyes just now meant. It was the same look they had every time they saw utensils being delivered, only this time it was even more fiery.

Come to think of it, Shi Xie had sent a second-rate general who betrayed him before. He was just a second-rate general, but he made the clan leader happy. So how could the clan leader not be tempted when the legendary general Sun Ce stood here at this moment? Unfortunately, he could not use the clan leader's help to get rid of Sun Ce and Sun Jian. After all, he didn't know whether the poison would still work at Sun Ce's level.

At this moment, the patriarch who was walking in the front suddenly asked.

"My Lord, why haven't any supplies been delivered in nearly half a month?"

"Yes, but there were some things that delayed it."

As Shi Xie spoke, he waved to the two hundred elite soldiers behind him.

"Go, carry in the supplies prepared for the tribe."

However, the 200 elite soldiers turned a deaf ear to Shi Xie's words until Sun Jian waved his hand. Then they started to move and carried out the supplies that they had already carried in Jiaozhi County.

"There's a warehouse over there, just put it in there."

Shi Xie raised his hand and pointed in a direction. Sun Jian glanced at Shi Xie inconspicuously. These supplies were purchased by Shi Xie when Sun Ce summoned 200 elite soldiers for the second time. Shi Xie would not tell him no matter how he asked. Now it seems that it was for this reason. Thinking of this, Sun Jian could not help but shook his head.

Shi Xie really has a mountain of gold but doesn't use it.

As they walked, there were many witches coming over and looking at them, and some brave ones even greeted them.

The soldiers behind were all young men, how could they withstand the constant greetings from such beauties? The witches were also a little different, some wore veils and some did not, and those without veils were all stunningly beautiful, which attracted the soldiers to look around constantly and respond to the greetings from those who were braver.

The tribe leader at the front of the team didn't seem to care too much about it. Instead, he waved to some girls who were timid and didn't dare to come forward, signaling that they could come forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Sun Jian and his companions, led by the clan leader, finally arrived at a room. This room was different from the other rooms. Compared with other rooms, this room was made of golden nanmu wood. After entering, an atmosphere of wealth hit them in the face.

Sitting at a table also made of golden nanmu, the clan leader poured a cup of hot water for everyone and said with a smile.

"We don't have tea here, so please bear with me."

"It's alright, Patriarch."

"Why are you here this time?"

The clan leader didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, asking the reason for their visit. Shi Xie quickly answered, "I came here to deliver supplies to you. After all, the supplies have been stopped for so many days. If they are not delivered soon, I'm afraid your supplies will be cut off."

"Hahaha, my lord, although we live deep in this place and don't have much communication with the outside world, it doesn't mean that we are ignorant of worldly affairs. Just tell us if you have anything to say."

After being exposed, Shi Xie said nothing more. He really didn't want Sun Jian to compete with him for the so-called dominance, so he made up the lie.

Sun Jian rolled his eyes at Shi Xie and said with a smile.

"The clan leader is smart and has guessed our purpose. We came here this time to ask you to come out and help us deal with Liu Bei."

"Oh? Liu Bei?"

The clan leader's voice was like a silver bell, and he looked at the three people in front of him with a smile.

"We have also heard about what happened in the outside world. I think it was Sunzhou Mu who launched a large-scale attack on Jiaozhou, causing the market army to withdraw and our supply to be cut off."

"Hahaha, the clan leader has a sharp eye. Since the clan leader knows everything, I won't say anything more. The purpose of my visit this time is indeed to invite you to come out of the mountain. However, it is me who wants to invite you, not Wei Yan."

"Oh?"

The clan leader remained calm and turned to look at Shi Xie beside him. Shi Xie's eyes happened to meet the clan leader's. The moment their eyes met, Shi Xie lowered his head in shame.

"Then how are you going to invite Governor Sun?"

The voice is so melodious and beautiful that people can't help but be fascinated.

"As long as the clan leader is willing to come out and help me deal with Liu Bei, I will agree to any conditions you set!"

As soon as Sun Jian heard the clan leader's words, he knew there was a chance, so he quickly opened his mouth to express his sincerity. However, the clan leader did not respond at all, but turned around and looked at Shi Xie beside him.

"My Lord, what is the vessel we agreed on last time?"

Shi Xie raised his head, first looked at the clan leader, then looked at Shi Xie, and finally spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, we brought them this time. They are all top-quality vessels. All of them are for the two hundred people outside."

"Thank you very much, my lord."

The clan leader stood up and bowed to Shi Xie. Sun Jian, who was standing by, was a little confused. What did he mean? What was going on?
"Vessels? What do you mean? Those two hundred people are my elite soldiers, not vessels."

Sun Jian stood up suddenly and said that he had only assembled such a special army, and the number of people was not large to begin with, but now they were going to be used as some kind of vessel and given to the Gu tribe. And judging from Shi Xie's guilty look, this vessel was definitely not a good thing, otherwise why didn't Shi Xie bring his own people.

In addition, although he had originally not planned to take these people with him, Shi Xie suddenly decided to take them all with him. All this showed that Sun Jian was being taken advantage of by others.

"So you are under the command of Governor Sun. Then we can discuss the matter of leaving the mountain."

The Gu woman, who was about to walk out of the tent, turned around and looked at Sun Jian. The only part of her eyes that was exposed was flickering with light and darkness, as if she wanted to devour people's minds.

"May I ask the clan leader what does vessel mean?"

"Hahaha, Sun Zhoumu, I promise you, you don't want to know. You only need to know one thing, that is, life is worse than death."

Hearing this, Sun Jian was shocked all over, then glared at Shi Xie. Now he knew why Shi Xie suddenly wanted to bring these people with him. Shi Xie simply pretended not to see Sun Jian's torture in his eyes. Sun Jian had no choice. He knew that now was a good time to negotiate. Special troops were strong, but they were far less important than the Gu Girls. No matter in terms of combat power or number of people, the Gu Girls were a better choice.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian put away his angry look and his eyes became calm.

"If I give these two hundred people to the clan leader as... tools, will the clan leader agree to my request and go out with me to deal with Liu Bei?"

"Haha, Sun Zhou Mu, you are joking. If it's just these 200 vessels, I'm afraid it won't work. Liu Bei is not an easy person to deal with. The last time we went out to deal with Liu Bei, we lost a sister. It took her life to block Liu Bei's pursuit route, so..."

The clan leader was halfway through her words when she looked at Sun Jian. Sun Jian keenly noticed the change in the clan leader's attitude towards her. After knowing that he was the one who brought these 200 people, the clan leader's attitude was obviously much better than before. If the conversation between the clan leader and him was more polite before, then the conversation between the two now was more like bargaining.

Sun Jian clenched his fists and made up his mind.

"The clan leader wants people, and I have plenty of them. However, I don't know what kind of people the clan leader wants or what his requirements are, so I can't provide them for him."

Sun Jian's implication was very clear, that is, we can talk, but you have to let me know what you want. After hearing this, the clan leader glanced at Sun Ce unconsciously.

Then she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at Sun Ce from a distance.

"He is the most suitable person to be a vessel that I have ever seen. He is also handsome and I believe he will be very popular. As for those people you brought with you, although they are also okay, they are really insignificant compared to your son, the governor of Gezhou."

At this point, Sun Jian had already roughly guessed that what the other party needed was someone with good physical fitness. Coupled with the utensils that had been mentioned many times, combined with the poison that their tribe relied on for survival, Sun Jian already had a rough picture in his mind.

The higher the level of the general, the more attractive he is to these Gu women. As for what they are used for, there is no need to say more. After all, they are called vessels. If they are not used to cultivate something, can they still be called vessels?

"Okay, then I understand. How many more vessels of that level do I need before the clan leader can come out and help me fight Liu Bei?"

"need……"

"Chief, don't rush to speak. Let me first tell you my proposal. This time we are going out of the mountains, it is not like the last time. This time, we need you and your tribe to fight with all your strength. Moreover, it will be very dangerous. So, Chief, you can think carefully about how many people you will need."

Sun Jian interrupted the clan leader and did not hide the relevant matters. Instead, he told her the truth and asked her to think about it carefully.

Upon hearing this, the clan leader withdrew his jade hand from the golden nanmu table, stretched out a finger as white as a scallion, held a strand of hair, and circled it around his ear. At the same time, he looked at Sun Jian without any hesitation, as if he was judging whether the man in front of him was suitable as a cooperative ally.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Shi Xie were in different moods at the moment, and were all waiting for the patriarch's answer.
