Hearing Wu Rong's question, Wu Zhongyuan's heart sank, the situation was critical last night, and he didn't have time to study the ink, so he bit his finger and drew a cross in blood, listening to Wu Rong's tone, it was likely that he found the abnormality of his blood, and he was so careful and cautious that he was still a hundred secrets.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan frowned and was silent, Wu Rong's tone softened slightly, "This is a special mark for Great Wu to summon high-level warriors stationed abroad, and it cannot be abused in the future." ”

Hearing Wu Rong's words, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the other party was referring to this, he was too anxious last night, and forgot about this stubble in a panic, not long ago when he rescued Wu Chen, he once shot a Hai Dongqing, and the information transmitted by that Hai Dongqing was three red crosses.

Wu Rong asked again, "You were the first to discover the enemy's whereabouts last night?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"Tell me in detail about what happened," Wu Rong said, and then added in a deep voice, "Don't conceal or omit it." ”

Sometimes if you want to annoy people, one sentence is enough, Wu Rong added this sentence later, which made Wu Zhongyuan frown slightly, what does this mean? What motive and reason does he have for concealing and omitting information? Could it be that he failed to attract the enemy?

Displeased in his heart, he frowned and looked at Wu Qin, Wu Rong's words also aroused Wu Qin's strong disgust, although he didn't say anything, his face was very ugly.

Wu Zhongyuan could only say, most of what he said was the truth, only his real motive for leaving the square to go out to inspect lied, he could only say that he was worried that the enemy would take advantage of the situation, and he went to inspect without worry, and he couldn't say that he wanted to escape from marriage before leaving the square.

Wu Rong and the others didn't find anything unreasonable about Wu Zhongyuan's account, and then began to ask the number of enemies, who were the purple qi masters, and even how the warriors in the city dealt with the battle after the battle.

The more Wu Zhongyuan listened, the more he didn't feel good, these guys didn't seem to have come to help with reinforcements, but they thought that the accident investigation team sent from above was here to investigate and hold them accountable.

There is no place to be ashamed, and he is not afraid of them asking, just tell the truth, at first his tone was still very humble, but as the questions asked by the other party became more and more sharp and mean, his tone was not so calm, until the other party repeatedly asked to confirm that Jiang Baili really got the Niu Long Gong, he finally couldn't help it, "My lord is doubting that our Lord Jushan did not hand over the Niu Long Gong to Jiang Baili?"

Not to mention that in this era of great respect and inferiority, even in the modern era of freedom of speech, it is taboo for him to talk to his superiors like this, as soon as this remark came out, everyone present frowned.

"Presumptuous," Wu Qin scolded in a deep voice, "how do you talk to your superiors? ”

Wu Qin's words seemed to be reprimanding Wu Zhongyuan on the surface, but in fact, everyone heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, Wu Qin's head Wu Tong coughed dryly twice, and took over the conversation, "Daqiu has suffered a great change, we also regret it very much, we can also understand your feelings, but we always have to find out what happened before we can deal with it." ”

Wu Zhongyuan lowered his head and didn't answer him, don't look at what this old thing said is quite like that, in fact, the most unimportant thing is him, most of the words that questioned Wu Qin just now were asked by him.

The interrogation lasted longer than Wu Zhongyuan expected, lasting more than an hour, in the opinion of the investigation team, if the enemy really came with five purple qi masters and more than 200 warriors, it would be impossible for them to resist, and the investigation team repeatedly confirmed that there were three problems, one was that the enemy really came with so many people? Second, Wu Qin and the others really relied on their own strength to expel the other party without the help of external forces? The third question was why Jiang Baili lost Niu Longgong after he got it.

Of these three questions, the last two involved Wu Zhongyuan himself, and in order not to arouse their suspicion, Wu Zhongyuan tried his best to downplay his role in this war, and gave the credit to Wu Qin as much as possible.

Wu Qin naturally heard that Wu Zhongyuan's description was inconsistent with the facts, but he did not say anything to correct it.

After asking, it's not over, they still have to go to see the scene, Wu Qin and Wu Zhongyuan can only accompany them.

The corpses of their own fallen warriors were parked in the council hall, and after looking at their corpses, Wu Rong and the others had to go to see the corpses of the enemy.

Wu Zhongyuan was most afraid that they would go to see the enemy's corpse, but he had no reason to stop them, Wu Rong and the others were all purple qi masters, and they were keenly observant, and soon they found out the problem, the enemy took away some of the corpses when they retreated, but there were more than a hundred left, and more than eighty of these more than 100 corpses died from arrow wounds, and most of them died at the hands of the same person, through the position of the arrow and the strength of the bow, it was easy to find this.

Having discovered this, they were convinced that Daqiu had driven the enemy back by his own strength, but this doubt was cleared, and another question arose, who was this person who shot dozens of warriors of the enemy?

This can't be hidden, Wu Zhongyuan can only admit it.

He knew very well that this would bring him the danger of exposure, but he couldn't help but admit it, and after admitting it, Wu Rong and the others were all looking him up and down with puzzled eyes, and before that, they hadn't even looked at him directly.

Wu Rong and the others looked at him for a longer time than he expected, a full ten seconds, or maybe it wasn't so long, but Wu Zhongyuan felt that it was a long time.

"What's your name?" Wu asked.

Wu Zhongyuan can only say.

Looking at the expressions of Wu Tong and the others, it seemed that they didn't know that he was not from their own clan, Wu Tong asked again, "Who is your archery master?"

This question is very sensitive, once Wu Tai's name is said, everyone will immediately become suspicious, these people are not Wu Chen and Wu Qin, they are from the capital, what Wu Tai did is clear to them, Wu Tai's bow technique They should also be familiar with it, by observing the corpses he shot, they have found that their bow technique is exactly the same as Wu Tai, and if they want them to believe that he is from the horse clan, it is self-deception.

At this moment, Wu Qin took over the conversation, "Zhongyuan has made great contributions to Daqiu, I have decided to marry my eldest daughter Wu Qingxu to him, if you have leisure at that time, you might as well come over and have a glass of wine." ”

After that, he said to Wu Zhongyuan, "Go to the warehouse and take a look, how many days can the remaining rice grain be eaten?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Wu Tong, "Don't be busy." ”

Wu Zhongyuan could only stop and turn back.

Wu Qin said in a deep voice, "A few people came to help overnight, and the people in Daqiu are very grateful, but the reorganization and aftermath after the war is quite cumbersome, the houses in the city are dilapidated, and there is no place to be entertained, please go back." ”

Wu Qin's words, Wu Rong, Wu Tong and the others' expressions became very unnatural.

In other words, others issued an eviction order, and if they didn't want to leave, they had to go, but Wu Tong was very thick-skinned and said with a smile, "Daqiu suffered this catastrophe, and if you want to recover, it will take at least ten years, and if the enemy makes a comeback during this period, Daqiu is afraid that he will be unable to resist the enemy, so it is better to be one with Daze, and you can also take care of each other." ”

Hearing Wu Tong's words, Wu Qin raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I understand your kindness, and we will discuss this matter again." ”

Wu Qin stopped saying that he began to give orders to the nearby clansmen, directing them to clean up the ruins.

As a big hill, which turn to get him to do this, the intention of chasing away guests is so obvious.

Even so, Wu Rong and the others still did not leave, Wu Rong and Wu Tong looked at each other, and said, "This time the Niu Clan's heavy troops are attacking, it is clearly a coveted psychic artifact, since the Wu Qin brothers have no intention of merging with Daze, they must carefully consider how to protect Niu Longgong." ”

"What is Wu Rong Dongyuan's opinion?" Wu Qin tilted his head and looked coldly, the warriors of the bear clan are mostly referred to as brothers and sisters, and the cultivation and official rank are very cold.

"That's not true," Wu Rong waved his hand, "I'm just kindly reminding me that I will return to the capital when I wait for this, report the matter to Dawu, support the grain and grass, dispatch warriors, and compassionate Daqiu." ”

"No need," Wu Qin Zhengse said, "We'll solve it ourselves." ”

The master has this attitude, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't stay anymore, so Wu Rong and the others have to leave.

Although Wu Qin was disgusted with them, he did not lose his courtesy, and still sent them to the square in front of the morning hall.

Waiting for everyone to volley, Wu Qin Zhengse said, "Please tell Da Wu that although Daqiu has been hit hard, I, Wu Qin, am still here, and Niu Longgong will not lose it, with it in hand, whoever dares to offend my Daqiu people will let him have no return." ”

Wu Rong and the others responded perfunctorily and went east.

Without waiting for everyone to go away, Wu Qin turned around and walked towards his residence to the west.

Wu Zhongyuan followed.

Wu Qin didn't speak when he walked, and only stopped at the door to look at Wu Zhongyuan, "Let's rest, many trivial things have their own people below to do." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, he was very grateful to Wu Qin, if Wu Qin hadn't relieved the siege before, he would have been asked by Wu Rong and others.

Wu Qin didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the room.

Wu Zhongyuan went west and returned to his residence, where Ah Luo had already cleaned his room and helped him boil hot water.

After wiping his face, Wu Zhongyuan lay on the bed, he was very tired, and soon fell asleep after lying down.

When he woke up in the evening, his first feeling was that he was sore, but when he heard a lot of noise outside, he fell to the ground, and Arlo was cooking for him, and when he saw that he was in pain when he got up, he hurried over to help him.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, and found that there were many more people outside, Daqiu governed eight Yi cities, last night the Niu clan directly invaded Daqiu, and the Yi city under the jurisdiction of Daqiu was not attacked, at this time, these Yi cities came to reinforcements when they heard the news, sent food, brought livestock, brought craftsmen, and also sent doctors.

Seeing that the aftermath work was carried out in an orderly manner, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to go back to the house and lie down for a while, at this moment, Wu Dalie came over from a distance, he had been injured by an arrow to his right leg, and now the arrow has been removed, but it is not very convenient to walk, and he is limping.

Wu Zhongyuan had blisters on the soles of his feet, and it hurt to walk, but he still greeted him.

Wu Dalie didn't have anything else to do when he came over, mainly to thank him.

Wu Dalie was in a coma when Wu Rong and the others arrived in the morning, and seeing that he didn't know about it, Wu Zhongyuan briefly told him what happened in the morning.

Wu Dalie is thoughtful, not a reckless man, but not a reckless man is not necessarily good-tempered, listening to Wu Zhongyuan's narration, Wu Da Lie's angry scolding mother, "This is here to help, this is obviously to take advantage of the fire to rob, want to be a divine soldier, find it yourself, what do you care about us?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, last night he saw with his own eyes the power of the bull dragon gong, indestructible, devastating, the most amazing thing is that it can continuously replenish the aura and help the master continue to fight.

At this time, Daqiu was supported by one side in difficulty, and there were many people, so the body was buried on the same day, the ruins were cleaned up the next day, and the houses were repaired on the third day, and on the seventh day, the city was roughly restored to its old appearance, and the speed was much faster than Wu Zhongyuan expected.

The three of them were injured and had been in bed for the past few days to recuperate, and the letter bird from the capital came on the third day, bringing condolences and encouragement from Dawu, as well as a pension exempted from the enslavement of that year.

In the evening of the seventh day, Wu Qin sent servants to invite him over.

Wu Zhongyuan went nervously, Wu Qin had previously said in front of Wu Rong and others that he would marry his eldest daughter Wu Qing to him, but it was for this reason.

Wu Qin did not see him at home, but waited for him in the morning hall, and Wu Qin was the only one in the huge morning hall.

Wu Qin's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

When Wu Zhongyuan entered the door, Wu Qin raised his hand to signal him to close the door.

Wu Zhongyuan closed the door, and Wu Qin sat down from a square stool, "Sit down." ”

Wu Zhongyuan sat down on the square bench under him.

After sitting down, Wu Qin didn't speak, the more he didn't speak, the more worried Wu Zhongyuan became, looking at Wu Qin's expression, it didn't look like he wanted to discuss marriage with him.

But what he didn't expect was that after the silence, Wu Qin mentioned this matter, "You have also met Wu Qing, what is your impression of her?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.

Regarding Wu Zhongyuan's silence, Wu Qin didn't seem surprised, "If you have no objection, I will marry you tomorrow." ”

Wu Zhongyuan still did not answer.

"That's it, you go back and prepare. Wu Qin said again.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't be silent any longer, shook his head and said, "Wu Qing is very good, but I can't marry her." ”

Wu Qin was still not surprised by Wu Zhongyuan's resignation, and asked calmly, "Reason?"

"I've got someone in mind. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Marry together. Wu Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at Wu Qin, Wu Qin lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, without expression.

"I can't marry her. Wu Zhongyuan stood up.

"I can not force you, but you have to give me a reasonable explanation. Wu Qin said calmly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak, Wu Qin probably had already discovered something, and he called here just to confirm.

"My lord, I'm leaving. Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked towards the gate.

"You've never been to the capital, how do you know how long it will take for the letter bird to fly to Daqiu?" Wu Qin asked.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped when he heard the sound, the Niu clan attacked that day, and after the end of the war, he told Wu Qin that if the capital got the news, the reinforcements should have arrived at this time. At that time, Wu Qin tilted his head to look at him, but did not say anything.

Wu Qin asked again, "Only high-level warriors know that the Vermilion Cross represents an emergency, how do you know?"

Wu Zhongyuan turned his back to Wu Qin and did not answer.

"I came to Wu Dalie earlier today and asked you in detail about all the details of the Niu Longgong you got that day. Wu Qin said again.

Wu Zhongyuan sighed, "When did the adults know?"

Wu Qin said, "After Wu Rong and the others came, you deliberately smeared your face, if they had seen you before, they would have recognized you even if they had smeared your face, I wondered why you did this, and then I remembered that Wu Ji once said that you reminded him of an old man, you should have heard his words, and you should know who the old man in his mouth refers to." ”

"Did the Lord ask Wu Ji?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, and the Wu Ji in Wu Qin's mouth was the purple qi master he saw on the day he came to Daqiu.

Wu Qin shook his head, "This matter is very important, and the fewer people who know about it, the better." ”

"Then how do you know who I am?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Wu Ji and Wu Tong are both Purple Qi warriors of the older generation, and their ancestors can only be people of their generation. Wu Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, it's the same as tracking down the murderer, it's difficult to track down if it's not locked, but once it's locked, it's much easier to confirm.

"What do you want to do with me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wu Qin sighed, "Affectionate, righteous, brave and strategic, if you come back half a year early, the bear clan will have a good king, but you came back too late......"
