Origin Chapter 428: A stalker

Traveling south for more than ten miles, I found that the fire was really a city of the barbarians, but it was not in the city, but at the west gate of the city.

There are many large crossbows erected on the city walls on both sides of the city gate, and there are also under the city walls. The arrows and crossbows have been loaded, and all the crossbows are ready to go.

There are more than 2,000 barbarian warriors gathered at Ximen. Their enemies are located outside the city. It’s just because all the warriors who came were of the bird tribe. The two leaders wore purple armor, one was lavender in the mountains, the other was purple in the cave, and 20% of the rest were blue-helmeted warriors, and 80% of them were third-rank red qi.

Different from the barbarians who are facing the enemy, the bird people are relaxed and arrogant. Although there are vertical and horizontal formations, they are not very neat. The two leading Ziqi masters have never even held weapons. With his hands behind his back, he is very calm.

One of the two is a young woman in her mid-thirties, with a graceful figure and seductive beauty. The man wearing the purple armor was a little older, about forty or so, with a fat head and big ears, and his face was full of oil.

At this time, it was after ten o’clock in the morning, and the light was bright. Wu Zhongyuan couldn’t get too close, so he had to go around the forest and come to the due north of the bird tribe. He found a tall tree to hide, and he looked down and observed .

It is impossible for a person to not do one bad thing in his life, even if he doesn’t do it when he grows up, he will inevitably do some bad things like picking melons and stealing dates when he is young. People are different, and some people will be overjoyed when they do bad things and try again. And some people feel guilty about doing bad things and try to fix it.

Wu Zhongyuan belongs to the latter group. Not long ago, he stole the lantern from the ancestral tomb of the Yi people. Find out why the two sides are in conflict.

He was leaning on the tree trunk, took out a water bag and took a few sips, and then took dry food to chew on to satisfy his hunger. He was kicked away by Wang Xinran without breakfast, and he was already hungry by now.

After a few bites, someone came out of the city. There were three in total, two men and one woman. The Chinese people pay more attention to the order of superiority and inferiority. The tall man walking in the middle must be the boss, and the tall woman on his right It should be his deputy, and the tall and strong man on his left should be the third person of the Yi people.

The reason why they are all described as tall is because the three of them are really tall, the eldest is about thirty-five or six years old and must be over three meters tall. The woman should be under 30 years old, and her height should not be less than 2.5 meters. Modern people like long legs. In fact, women’s legs are too long and they don’t look good. These two long legs of 1.67 meters are very scary. , It is not very appropriate to describe it as scary. It should be said to be more deterrent. The so-called deterrent is that it can make men retreat. In fact, this young woman is not fat, but she is too big, not any man can Controlled.

The third person is about fifty years old. Despite his age, he is sturdy. He has a strong back and a bearded face. The stick in his hand is three fingers thick, even if it is not two hundred catties, it must be one hundred and eighteen.

The weapon of the barbarian leader was a long sword, and the woman used a knife, and she was the only one among the three who carried a bow and arrow.

The expressions of the three were very solemn, but they did not intend to do anything. Obviously, they came out to negotiate.

Wu Zhongyuan came late and didn’t know much about the situation. These three people may have come out to negotiate on their own initiative, or they may have been forced out by the bird warriors.

Seeing the three of them leave the city, the two Purple Qi warriors of the Bird tribe also began to move forward.

“I have seen the two adults.” The leader of the Yi people raised his hand to salute the two of them. Lord is a very broad term at this time, referring to people with distinguished status.

When this person saluted the two of them, the two beside him did not salute with him. Although they did not show dissatisfaction with him salute to the two of them, they were stubborn and angry.

“How is Patriarch Yu doing recently?” Fat Dongyuan dragged his tone.

“Master Hui Lishi asked,” said the Yiren leader with a smile, “except for the lantern in the resting place of the ancestors, which was stolen by despicable and shameless female thieves, and the city gate was just burned down by you. All good.”

“What does the patriarch Yu mean?” The woman from Jushan asked with raised eyebrows.

“You know what it means.” The Yi woman glared at the interface

“Huang Youyun, what do you want to say?” The Jushan woman raised her voice.

“Li Fei, don’t you know what you did?” the Yi woman asked loudly.

Seeing that the two were arguing, the Yiren leader turned his head and glanced at the Yi woman, “Patriarch Huang, there is no real evidence, so don’t make random suspicions.”

“Humph.” Huang Youyun turned his head aside.

Although Wu Zhongyuan was far away from them, he could clearly hear everyone’s conversation. Since the two sides could say each other’s names, it means they knew each other before. The woman’s name is Li Fei. On the Yi side, the eldest surname is Yu, and the female’s surname is Huang. It stands to reason that there is only one patriarch in a tribe, but the Yi people are an alliance of tribes, and the tens of thousands of residents are composed of several small tribes, so both of them are patriarchs, and the other one didn’t speak. The barbarian strong man of , should also be one of the patriarchs.

In addition, according to the conversation between the two sides, he also found another problem, that is, the misunderstanding between the two sides was caused by the ever-bright lantern in the ancestral tomb. The Yi people suspected that the bird tribe stole it, and the Yi people named Huang Youyun The woman pointed her finger at Li Fei. The reason why she suspected Li Fei was not without reason. It was because someone saw Li Bie the day he stole the Everbright Lamp, and Li Bie was wearing armor, so they couldn’t see his face. It can only be inferred from the color and shape of the armor that she is a female expert. Li Fei may have dealt with the barbarians more often, and her body shape and cultivation are more similar to those of Li Bie, so she became the key suspect of the barbarians.

But Li Fei didn’t know about this section.

At the same time Wu Zhongyuan analyzed and deduced, the five people had been talking all the time, and the conversation of the people also confirmed his guess that the contradiction between the two sides was indeed caused by the Eternal Light, but the Eternal Light was his name, and the barbarians called it as a ghost. light.

The Yi people suspected that the Bird Tribe had stolen their soul lanterns. Not only did they stop paying tribute to the Bird Tribe, but the two sides also had conflicts over the ownership of the salt flats. As the war was approaching, all ethnic groups were purchasing large quantities of lanterns. The dragon tendons used to make powerful bows and crossbows, and the demand for flood oil used for metallurgy and lighting have also increased. The Yi people stopped trading with the birds at this time. This is why Li Shi and Li Fei came to the door. .

Li Shi and Li Fei naturally denied the suspicion of the barbarians. Although the barbarians had no direct evidence, they believed that the bird tribe did it, because they knew very well that the lamp oil in the soul-inducing lamp could raise the temperature of the furnace. , this thing is only useful to the bird race that is good at metallurgy.

The quarrel mainly occurred between two women. The tall and strong man named Lu Juntian was also a patriarch of the Yi people. Although this man was sturdy, he didn’t like shouting. Huang Youyun and Li When he was not arguing, he didn’t intervene, just indignant and ready to do something.

Yu, the patriarch of the Yi people, is called Yu Qingdu. This person and Li Shi are relatively restrained. It can be seen that neither side wants the situation to worsen. This is also in line with their identity. .

A quarrel can’t solve the problem, it can only aggravate the conflict. The Yi people directly rejected the request for an easy exchange made by the bird tribe.

Li Shi and Li Fei are the city lords of Jiubin and Jiucheng respectively. The capital city assigns certain production and procurement tasks to various Yuancheng cities every year. The government pays taxes. The task that Jiuli gave them this year is already very heavy. The barbarians are still doing such a thing. If they fail to complete the task assigned by their superiors, they will definitely be punished.

Although the Yi people don’t have masters of purple qi, they have powerful bows and crossbows, and they are tall and powerful. Because of the loss of the soul lamp, they were suffocated by fire, and a pair of fish died. stance.

Li Shi and Li Fei did not expect the attitude of the barbarians to be so tough. Well, can’t afford to lose that person. Let’s fight, we must lose a lot.

Before departure, Li Shi and Li Fei must have looked ahead to the possible situation. The current situation is the worst result they can think of. They also have contingency plans for this, and their contingency plan is also very simple. , to capture the thief first to capture the king, as long as Yu Qingdu and others are killed, the barbarians will be headless, and the difficulty of breaking the city will be much less.

Seeing that the conversation collapsed, Li Shi changed his face, poked his left hand out, and sneered, “Since everyone is obsessed, then don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

Wu Zhongyuan was located directly north of them. Seeing Li Shi stretched out his left hand, he knew that he was calling for a weapon. When he turned around, he found a spear flying fast from the north. When it got close, it lowered its height and flew towards Li Shi.

I didn’t even think about it, I directly drew the arrow and opened the bow and shot vigorously. The meteorite arrow flew away, and the purple spear was shot through, and it was nailed to a nearby tree. The spear was still pulling vigorously, lest it break free, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly fired another arrow, and this time it nailed it firmly.

Li Shi wanted to start immediately after he finished speaking, but his left hand stuck out, but the weapon never came, and Yu Qingdu and the others had recovered and were pulling back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn’t care about waiting for weapons, so he bullied himself, confronted the enemy with his bare hands, and stopped Yu Qingdu.

Seeing Li Shi’s move, Li Fei followed closely, and while rushing forward, he also probed his left hand, “Huang Youyun, look at the sword!”

Her stance has been pulled away, and she is waiting for the weapon to come to the volley to slash, but like Li Shi, her long sword has not been called, and it is not that she has not come. Wu Zhongyuan nailed it to the tree.

Although the flying speed of the weapons from the induction is not as fast as the Azure Dragon Armor, it is still a thousand miles away. Thanks to his well-chosen position, if it were a little more biased, he would not be able to hit these two weapons.

The two of them had problems with their weapons, and the fool knew that something was wrong, but he had already started, and he couldn’t care less. Li Fei used his left arm armor to block Huang Youyun’s attack. Knife, at the same time, returned the order, “Do it, stop them…”
