The guide led the investigation team all the way forward and finally arrived at a tribe of the barbarians.

The investigation team was a little dumbfounded.

Their mission is to explore detailed information from the barbarian army.

Now that the army of the barbarians has not been found, it has found a tribe of the barbarians. What's the use?

Regarding this question, the guide swears:

"The information of the barbarian army can be obtained in this tribe."

"How do you get information from the barbarian army?"

"Just go in and ask!"

"Go in and ask?" Yan, Fu Yun, Ge Wu and other officers from the reconnaissance team were very confused.

"Yes!"

"My sister is in this tribe. Just find my sister and ask me."

It turned out that in a small-scale conflict with the barbarians, the guide's sister collected wild vegetables in the wild, but failed to escape in time and was captured by the barbarians.

When he later learned about his sister's specific whereabouts, his sister had become a barbarian's wife and gave birth to a child.

His sister also stayed in the Yi Ren tribe with peace of mind and no longer thought about escaping.

The guide came over to visit his sister from time to time.

So the contact was maintained.

This situation exists in many tribes in Taixi Country.

The tribe at the junction, the act of both parties plundering each other's women to marry has often happened for many years.

The Yi tribe has women from Taixi, and Taixi, there are women from Yi people.

The relationship between the two parties is wonderful.

War is about fighting, but in private, there is family opposite each other, but contact and walking around, but never breaks off.

"You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go find my sister."

Then, the guide walked into the tribe of the barbarians alone with a piece of salted fish.

This tribe of the barbarians is very small.

There are only more than twenty thatched huts, and the tribe's population should be only about a hundred people.

Although the guides did not come to the Yiren tribe frequently, only once or twice a year, they also became familiar with him in the Yiren tribe, and everyone in the Yiren tribe knew him.

The barbarians were not surprised at the arrival of the guide, and some people even greeted the guide warmly.

However, in the Yi people's tribe, there are only women, old people and children, and there are no young and strong men.

More than two hours later, the guide came back.

"The barbarian army gathered, and they were still in the old place. In two or five days, they would set out to the battlefield."

The guide gestured with his hands.

His sister's man received the call and had already rushed to the assembly ground with all the young and strong men in the tribe.

Everyone in the entire tribe knew the specific time of assembly, and his sister naturally knew it too.

His sister had never thought about keeping it secret, and the guide simply got the news.

After discussing, Yan and his friends decided to continue to move forward and go to the place where the barbarians gathered to investigate.

So, continue on the road.

But this time I was walking back.

Although it was not the same path when we came and had a certain degree of deviation, the general direction was correct.

The assembly ground is behind.

They had passed the gathering ground of the barbarians and entered the interior of the barbarian territory.

Yan and the others were speechless.

I had to follow the guide and continue walking.

Finally, they found the gathering place for the barbarians.

When we arrived here, Yan and his men found that this place was not far from the battlefield. We could reach it in one day by taking the right route.

They followed the guide around for three or four days, and they all went wrong.

Ge Wu looked at the guide with an extremely resentful look.

Yan, Fu Yun and others looked at the guide, but it was not right.

I was puzzled by my friends who had been together happily all the way.

He asked nervously:

"Is there anything wrong? Don't we already know the situation of the barbarian army? We all know the time and place, and we only need to count the number of people. When the barbarians light the bonfire at night, count them, can't we know the number of people?"

Yan and the others looked at each other.

That's right!

Their mission was indeed completed.

But... the process of completing the task is very strange.

It is daytime now, and many barbarians are no longer in the gathering place and go out to hunt. They cannot observe the specific number of barbarians.

So they found a place to hide it and cooked with fire.

They never thought that if the fire would be discovered by the barbarians so close to them.

Fortunately, the barbarians did not have a sense of alertness.

Even if someone saw the smoke, no one reported it to the top, and no one came to investigate.

The barbarians just thought that the tribes of various tribes who went out to hunt were having a picnic.

At night, the barbarians returned and a large number of bonfires were lit up in the gathering ground.

Looking at the bonfire, the guide began to turn his hands and calculate the number of barbarians.

One five people, two five people...

But after that, he was confused.

After five people, he didn't know how to count.

"About five hundred people!" Ge Wu said.

Fu Yun looked at him in confusion and asked, "How did you calculate it? I counted it several times, but it became messy after counting it."

He is also counting the number of barbarians.

He has learned to count.

However, the barbarians would often walk around and let him count them, but they could not count them.

Ge Wu said lazyly:

"Counting is too troublesome, I don't count!"

"Then how do you know that the 500 people belong to the 500 people?"

Everyone asked him in unison.

"When the barbarians return, are they from one team after another?"

"yes!"

"How many people are there in the first team?"

"There are more and less, usually about ten!"

"That's right. These ten people hunt together, so the food will naturally not be distributed to others. Therefore, they should be together when eating, and they will not be allowed to join."

"So, this bonfire should be a team of people. How many bonfires are there?"

The bonfire would not move, and Fuyun counted it out soon.

"Fifty bonfires!"

"How many people are there for a bonfire with ten people, and fifty bonfires?"

The guide was still confused.

Yan, Fu Yun and others immediately shouted in unison:

"Five hundred people!"

Fu Yun sighed and said, "You are so smart, you are just too lazy!"

Several others also praised Ge Wu for his confusion.
