Li Mang disagreed at first. Finally he agreed.

Their two personalities are actually very similar. Stick to what you think is right, but compromise with each other.

The children were entrusted to Nado. Mu Qing just told them that he had to go out for something and it might take some time before he could come back.

Before leaving, she took out the saber again.

It has been ten years, and the saber is old, with some rust on the bends, but the edge is still sharp.

She dipped it in oil and wiped it until it shone with cold light. She then smeared a layer of Ligang on the back edge to hide the snake venom, then folded it and wrapped it in fine linen cloth to hide it. And she brought Xiao Hei with her.

Her memory of Yijia's appearance is somewhat blurry. But one thing is certain, he is no longer the same man as he was back then.

To be honest, she was a little nervous. This feeling became stronger as we got closer to the Eka tribe.

The settlement is no longer what she remembered it to be. It should be said that no trace of it can be found. It is no exaggeration to say that Mu Qing had the illusion that she had crossed time and space again.

The ground beneath her feet was a flat bluestone pavement. At the top of the bluestone pavement was a tall building built of the same material, ashlar and logs. Surrounding the building, large and small houses spread out in all directions. It was almost impossible to see the houses at the top. There are roads crisscrossing the houses, and from time to time you can see people walking back and forth, or doing work, and children chasing and playing among them.

It's like a small market town, if there were more people shouting and selling on both sides of the road.

When they were led towards the tall building in the middle, the men and women on both sides stopped what they were doing and looked up at them. Most of them were strangers, looking at them with curiosity and doubt in their eyes. Occasionally, there were a few faces that looked similar to each other, but after a brief period of surprise and confusion, they just stood still and looked at them.

Mu Qing initially refused to stay outside to wait for him with Xiao Hei, but insisted on entering. Now she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at him beside her. He was leading her forward in stride, with a firm face and his eyes looking straight ahead. This made her suddenly feel much more at ease.

When we arrived at the high steps of the bluestone building, a bearded man walked out of it.

Like Li Mang before, most of his face was covered by his beard, but his eyes were bright. Mu Qing still recognized it at a glance.

He is Eka.

Yijia saw them and stopped, and Li Mang also stopped. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Yijia suddenly walked over to Li Mangbu and hugged his shoulders. The two men hugged each other, patted each other on the shoulders, and laughed in unison.

They should have been friends since they were young. This meeting really felt like a reunion of old friends after a long absence.

Iga received them very warmly. He personally took them around his territory and showed them his vast fields and abundant fruits, which belonged to his tribe.

In ten years, the population here has expanded from less than 200 when Mu Qing returned to thousands.

Their fields were divided into tic characters, they dug wells through the soil, they planted fruits, trees and vegetables in their gardens, they grazed livestock in pens, and they also made wine. When entering the bluestone building, Mu Qing even saw a pair of bronze armor on the wall, with various knives, axes, bows and crossbows of the same texture hanging on the wall. Even the utensils used to entertain them were bronze bowls and plates.

Yiga seems to have an almost fanatical love for bronze, so he fills his residence with a metallic atmosphere of bronze.

There were huge fire battles burning in the four corners, illuminating the empty hall brightly.

Mu Qing sat on the floor covered with animal skins. The golden-roasted meat was just served on the big plate in front of her. She only took two bites and then stopped.

Across from her, Li Mang and Yi Jia sat opposite each other, eating large chunks of meat and sipping wine. They kept talking about their past, and burst out laughing from time to time.

Beside her, Yaoyao was sitting there, looking at Li Mang and Yijia coldly, occasionally glancing at her.

Yao Yao looked much older than ten years ago. Even though she had not smiled since she came in, Mu Qing still saw some deep lines in the corners of her eyes.

Mu Qing paid little attention to Yao Yao and just kept looking at Li Mang.

The two men kept talking. They must have drunk a lot of wine. Their faces shone bronze-red under the firelight, and they both looked excited.

"How is my place? It's not worse than your place, right?"

Yijia suddenly looked at Mu Qing, raised the bronze statue of wine in his hand towards her, and drank it in one gulp.

It was a bird-shaped wine statue. From Mu Qing's point of view, it was already very exquisite.

Mu Qing picked up the same wine in front of him, took a sip and smiled.

Yijia seemed a little dissatisfied with her reaction. He stood up from the floor and walked towards her. When he reached her, he suddenly stopped and turned to Li Mang and asked: "Do you know what my favorite thing is? "?" Without waiting for Li Mang to answer, he immediately laughed, "It's bronze. My favorite thing is bronze! I like to smell it, and I like the sense of solemnity that comes when I touch its cold surface. It fascinates me. I I have been completely conquered by it!"

When he said this, an expression of hatred suddenly appeared on Yao Yao's face, which had never been rippled. This hatred even made her face slightly distorted.

"So how should I thank you, Mu Qing?"

He looked at Mu Qing and stared at her for a moment as if no one else was watching. The firelight shone in his pupils.

"How should I thank you, Mu Qing?" He repeated it again, and suddenly burst into laughter when he saw silence everywhere. "I have often thought about it recently, if God had allowed me to meet you first a long time ago, Instead of my old friend Li Mang, what would it be like now?"

Silence.

There was silence in the empty hall.

As if Yao Yao didn't hear anything, she lowered her eyelids and remained motionless, her expression returned to its original indifference.

Mu Qing's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She looked at Yijia almost in disbelief.

Yijia did not avoid her gaze. After saying that, he still stared at her closely.

Mu Qing secretly touched the knife hidden on her body, and saw Li Mang suddenly rise across from her, kicked over the wine cups and plates on the ground, and walked towards Mu Qing.

"Go out for a while."

He looked at Mu Qing and said this with a very gentle expression, but his whole body was tense and exuding anger, and she felt it.

She hesitated and nodded slightly.

Yao Yao has already gone out.

It’s over, the time has finally come.

When she walked out of the hall, she felt briefly confused. After watching Yao Yao disappear into the night without looking back, she did not leave, but turned around and stood outside the door. Through a corner, you can still see the scene inside.

She tightened her grip on the knife. The sound of the whistle will travel far in the quiet night, and Xiao Hei should be able to hear it.

The two men stood opposite each other, neither of them spoke, but their faces became more and more distorted, as if an explosion was brewing in the air.

Li Mang suddenly strode to the wall, took off two knives from above, and threw one of them at his feet.

The heavy knife hit the ground, making a dull jumping sound, and then fell silent.

"We haven't played against each other in many years."

Li Mang said.

Yijia bent down, picked up the knife under his feet, held the handle with one hand, and touched the cold blade with the other. The expression is like caressing one's lover.

He didn't speak, he just raised the knife towards Li Mang. The two of them yelled in unison and started fighting.

When Yijia used the knife in constant battles in the past, he seemed to be very familiar with it. However, Li Mang seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this heavy weapon. Facing Yijia's slashing attack, he avoided it for a few rounds. The knife in his hand was knocked to the ground by a heavy blow from Yijiahou, and he also fell to the ground.

"Old friend, holding a woman in your arms for too long is not good for a man!"

Yijia laughed loudly, his eyes shining with excitement. While sneering, he held the knife in both hands and struck Limang on the ground hard with his head.

Li Mang's face darkened, and he quickly rolled towards the direction where the knife fell a moment ago.

The heavy knife struck the bluestone ground, making a cracking sound, and the ground was shaken and several small cracks were opened.

Yijia missed a single blow and immediately followed him to continue cutting. Li Mang had already grasped the knife back and blocked him upwards to slash.

He must have found the feeling of using the knife. After a few rounds, Yijia's face became a little serious and his breathing became heavier.

There was a "bang" sound. This time, Yijia's knife was knocked out. Without giving him a chance to fight back, Li Mang knocked him down with a heavy punch. When he tried to hold up his upper body, the cold knife edge hit him It was already pressing down on his throat.

This was a very physically exhausting fight. Both of them were panting violently, and their glares at each other never disappeared.

"Stop it! Do you know how many people have become homeless because of you?"

The Limang knife edge is pressed tightly to the neck.

Yijia stared at Ju Gao Limang and suddenly laughed.

He laughed so hard that the knife edge cut into the undulating surface of the skin on his neck, and blood stains showed through.

"Old friend, unless you chop off my head right now, I won't stop! Until I achieve my wish!"

Li Mang must have been very angry. He pressed the knife down further and watched a line of blood seep out slowly along the blade.

"Why? What is your wish? Is it to constantly attack others, kill rebellious men, and rob other women of food? What is the difference between you and the former Gangtou?"

Yijia let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils.

"Li Mang, do you still remember the last time we fought many years ago? I said at that time that you will never be a real Dawu! Yes, you see now that I am constantly attacking tribes one after another. , killed the rebellious men, and robbed women and food, but I am different from Gangtu. He is just for food, but I want to one day completely unite all the tribes in this jungle and grassland. Do you still remember your father? He was killed when you were a child resisting invading foreigners. If I can do this, then the endless attacks between tribes for generations will stop, and everyone can live a stable life. Isn't this a great idea? ? What I am doing is just a necessary way to achieve this great idea!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, almost shouting at the top of his lungs, with dreamy light shining in his eyes.

"When you achieve your goal, then everyone will surrender to you and bow at your feet, right? This is your final idea, right?"

Li Mang spoke coldly.

Yijia was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Limang, you really grew up with me, and I can't hide anything from you. You are indeed right. But as long as I formulate the rules of fairness, everyone will be able to People under my protection live a good life, so what does it matter? I tell you, even without me, there will still be someone else who will do what I did today. I don’t know how long it will take, But there will come a day sooner or later, and no one can stop it! If you kill me now, this place will be in chaos. The tribe that has already joined me will rebel again, and then there will be more deaths and killings! In the jungle and The grassland will truly never have peace!"

Li Mang frowned slightly, as if hesitant.

"Old friend, based on what I know about you, I'm a little surprised that you actually thought of stopping me now. Although you can still knock me down after holding a woman for a long time, you are no longer a keen hunter. Your reaction is too slow. Have you ever seen an arrow that can be shot back?"

After Yi Jia finished speaking, he lay down on the ground, nonchalantly wiped the bleeding from his neck, and sneered at Li Mang.
