Chapter 428: Getting in the way

Traveling more than ten miles to the south, I found that the place where the fire was really the city of Yiren, but not in the city, but at the west gate of the city, the fire had been burning for a long time, and the city tower and the city gate were burned down.

There were a number of large bows and crossbows erected on the walls on both sides of the gate, and there were also under the walls, and the arrows and crossbow stones had been loaded, and all the bows and crossbows were in a state of preparation.

There are about 2,000 Yi warriors gathered at the west gate, their enemies are located outside the city, the number is less than one-twentieth of the Yi people, but although the number is small, it is a strong enemy for the Yi people, just because they are all bird warriors, the two leaders are wearing purple armor, one lives in the mountain light purple, one person is purple in the cave abyss, and the rest of the people are two percent of the blue helmet warriors, and eight are red qi third order.

Different from the great enemy on the Yiren side, the people of the Bird Clan looked relaxed and arrogant, although there were vertical and horizontal queues, but they were not very neat, and the two leading purple qi masters did not even hold weapons, and they put their hands behind their backs, very calmly.

One of them was a young woman of about thirty, with a graceful figure and a bewitching appearance. The man wearing the purple armor was a man, a little older, about forty years old, with a long fat head and big ears, and a shiny face.

At this time, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, the light was bright, Wu Zhongyuan had to go around the forest, came to the north direction of the bird clan, found a tall tree to hide, condescending, and observed from afar.

It is impossible for people not to do a bad thing in this life, even if they don't do it when they grow up, they will inevitably do some bad things when they are 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 remedy it.

Wu Zhongyuan belongs to the latter, not long ago he stole the ever-bright lamp in the ancestral tomb of Yiren, and his heart has been uneasy, and now when he sees Yiren in trouble, he has the heart to help, but he is not in a hurry to do it, and he has to find out what the two sides are in conflict with.

He snuggled up to the trunk of a tree, took out a water bladder and drank a few sips, and then took dry food and chewed it to satisfy his hunger, and he was driven away by Wang Xinran without breakfast, and he was already hungry by this time.

After eating a few bites, someone in the city came out, a total of three, two men and one woman, the Chinese pay more attention to the order of respect and inferiority, the tall man walking in the middle must be the boss, the tall woman on his right hand should be his deputy, and the tall strong man on his left hand should be the third person of Yiren.

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 sixteen years old, and he must be more than three meters tall. The woman should be less than thirty years old, the height will not be less than two meters five, modern people like long legs, in fact, women's legs are too long and not good-looking, these two long legs of one meter six or seven are very scary, and it is not very appropriate to describe them as scary, it should be said that it is more deterrent, the so-called deterrent force is able to make men retreat in difficulty, in fact, this young woman is not fat, but she is too big, not all men can control it.

The third person is about fifty years old, don't look at the age, but the long is strong, the tiger's back is a bear's waist, a beard on his face, the weapon is a cooked copper stick, the ordinary cooked copper stick is only two fingers thick, the one in his hand is three fingers thick, even if there are not two hundred catties, there must be one hundred and eighteen.

The leader of the Yiren was armed with a long sword, and the woman was wielding a sword, and she was the only one of the three who carried a bow and arrow.

The expressions of the three were very solemn, but they didn't mean to make a move, it was obvious that they had come out to negotiate.

Wu Zhongyuan came relatively late and didn't know much about the situation, these three people may have taken the initiative to negotiate, or they may have been forced out by the Bird Clan warriors.

Seeing the three of them out of the city, the two purple qi warriors of the bird clan also began to move forward, each side walking dozens of zhang, standing three zhang apart.

"I've seen two adults. The leader of the Yiren raised his hand at the two of them and saluted, and the lord was a very broad term at this time, referring to people of noble status.

When this person saluted the two, the two people next to him did not salute with him, although they did not show dissatisfaction with him saluting the two, but they were stubborn and angry.

"Patriarch Yu has been doing lately?" said Fat Dongyuan.

"Lord Hui Li Shi asked," the leader of the Yi people laughed, "except for the soul-attracting lamp in the resting place of the ancestors, which was stolen by the despicable and shameless female thief, and the city gate was just burned down by you, everything else is fine." ”

"What does Patriarch Yu mean by this?" asked the woman from Jushan, raising her eyebrows.

"You know what it means. The Yi woman glared

"Huang Youyun, what do you want to say?" the woman raised her voice.

"Li Fei, don't you know what you've done?" the Yi woman asked in a loud voice.

Seeing that the two of them were tense, the leader of the Yi people turned his head and glanced at the Yi woman, "Patriarch Huang, there is no real evidence, and you can't be suspicious. ”

"Hmph. 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 meant that they had known each other before, the two Bird Clan Purple Qi Warriors were called Li Shi for the male and Li Fei for the female. It stands to reason that there is only one patriarch in a tribe, but the Yiren is a tribal alliance, and tens of thousands of residents are composed of several small tribes, so these two are patriarchs, and the strong man who didn't speak 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 Changming Lantern in the ancestral tomb, the Yiren suspected that the Bird Clan stole it, and the Yiren woman named Huang Youyun pointed the finger at Li Fei, and the reason why she suspected Li Fei was not without reason, just because someone saw Li Bei on the day he stole the Changming Lantern, and Li Bei was wearing armor, they couldn't see the head and face, they could only speculate that he was a female master based on the color and body shape of the armor, Li Fei may usually deal with the Yi people more, and his body shape and cultivation are more similar to Li Bei, so he became the key suspect of the Yi people。

But Li Fei didn't know about this section, so he carried the black pot in a daze, and he was inexplicable.

While Wu Zhongyuan analyzed and deduced, the five of them had been talking, and the conversation of everyone also confirmed his guess that the contradiction between the two sides was indeed caused by the ever-bright lamp, but the ever-bright lamp was his name, and the Yi people called it the soul-attracting lamp.

The Yi people suspected that the bird clan had stolen their soul lamp, not only stopped paying tribute to the bird clan, but also had a conflict between the two sides because of the ownership of the salt tidal flats, because the war was approaching, all the clans were purchasing a large number of dragon tendons used to make strong bows and crossbows, and the demand for Jiao oil for metallurgy and lighting also increased, and the Yi people stopped exchanging with the bird clan at this time, which is why Li Shi and Li Fei came to the door.

Although the Yiren had no direct evidence, they believed that the bird clan had done it, because they knew very well that the oil in the soul attraction lamp could raise the temperature of the furnace, and this thing was only useful for the bird clan who were good at metallurgy.

The quarrel mainly occurred between two women, the tall strong man named Lu Juntian, is also a patriarch of Yiren, although this person is strong, but he doesn't like to shout, Huang Youyun and Li Fei quarreled He didn't interject, just a look of indignation, a look of ready to do it.

The patriarch of the Yida people is surnamed Yu, called Yu Qingdu, this person and Li Shi are relatively restrained, and it can be seen that both sides do not want the situation to deteriorate, which is also in line with their identity, and the big leaders are often more concerned about the overall situation.

Quarrels can't solve the problem, they can only exacerbate the contradictions, and the Yiren directly refused the request for easy exchange put forward by the bird clan, and they didn't even change it, so naturally they wouldn't pay tribute again.

And Li Shi and Li Fei are the city lords of Jiubin and Jiucheng respectively, the capital will give certain production and procurement tasks to the walled cities every year, and the tribute of the Yiren is also a tribute to them, which is equivalent to the large enterprises paying taxes to the local government.

Although the Yiren clan does not have a purple qi master, they have an amazingly powerful strong bow and crossbow, and they are tall and powerful, and they are suffocated by the fire because of the loss of the soul-attracting lamp, and they have a posture of being dead and broken.

Li Shi and Li Fei didn't expect Yiren's attitude to be so tough, they made it difficult to ride a tiger, and mobilized the people to intimidate by force, burning the other party's city gate and tower but not scaring the other party, now they are in a dilemma, retreat, I can't afford to lose that person. Fight, your side will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Before leaving, Li Shi and Li Fei must have made a preview of the possible situation, the current situation is the worst result they can think of, they also have an emergency plan for this, and their emergency plan is also very simple, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Yu Qingdu and others are killed, the Yi people will be leaderless, and the difficulty of breaking the city will be much smaller.

Seeing that the conversation had collapsed, Li Shi changed his face, leaned out with his left hand, and sneered hideously, "Since you are obsessed, then don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

Wu Zhongyuan was located in the direction of due north of them, and when he saw Li Shi stretching out his left hand, he knew that he was summoning weapons, and when he turned around, he found that a spear was flying from the north, and when he got close, he lowered his altitude and flew towards Li Shi.

Without thinking about it, he directly drew the arrow and opened the bow, and shot vigorously, the meteorite arrow flew away, and the purple spear was shot through, nailed to a nearby tree, seeing that the spear was still being pulled vigorously, lest it break free, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly sent another arrow, and now it was nailed firmly.

Li Shi wanted to start immediately after speaking, but his left hand poked out, but the weapon did not fly for a long time, and Yu Qingdu and the others had already come to their senses and were withdrawing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he couldn't care about waiting for weapons, so he bullied himself and faced the enemy with his bare hands, stopping Yu Qingdu.

Seeing Li Shi make a move, Li Fei followed, rushing forward and reaching out to his left hand at the same time, "Huang Youyun, look at the sword!"

Her posture was pulled away, just waiting for the weapon to come to the air and slash, but like Li Shi, her long sword did not come in response to the call, in fact, it was not that she did not come, but she came, and she was also nailed to the tree by Wu Zhongyuan.

Although the flight speed of the induced weapon is not as fast as the Qinglong Armor, it is also instantaneous, thanks to his good position, if he deviates any further, he will not be able to shoot these two weapons.

There was a problem with the two of them's summoning weapons, and the fool knew that something was wrong, but at this time, he had already done it, and he couldn't care about it so much, Li Fei blocked the long knife that Huang Youyun swung with the armor of his left arm, and at the same time gave the order back, "Do it, stop them......"
