Chapter 224: Nine Plains North (8)
When Wu Yi and Wu Yan were both leading the warriors of the clan to fight against the inn guards in the area of Diqiu, they didn't know that the old guys in the clan had changed their tactics against Xu Guan. So the two didn't know that in the near future, Wu Li would take the four great witches to the land of Yan Zhao.
Wu Yi made such a guess on the basis of the original facts, and with Wu Yan's relationship with him, he has always trusted him, so he didn't expect that the clan would plan to kill all the candidates.
However, even though Wu Yan trusted Wu Yi so much, with her cautious style, it was absolutely impossible to leave only one path 100%. Even if she got Wu Yi's assurance, even if she herself believed that the feasibility of doing so was very high, but after leaving with the portrait that day, in addition to conscientiously working hard to contribute to the great plan of the clan, she did not forget to make another preparation, that is, before the war was over and everything was still undecided, she sent her henchmen to find a hidden place suitable for hiding and seclusion on the border of Kyushu outside the Central Plains.
When the war was gradually advancing to the white-hot stage, Wu Yan sent three of his men, one to the territory of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang, one to the Yumen Pass in the Western Regions, and one to the northern grassland. If it weren't for the limited number of trustworthy subordinates, she also planned to send a few people to Ryukyu and Fuso in the east, as soon as she found a suitable one, she would secretly arrange for Xu Guan to be sent over, and then when the war was over, she would follow her after she had done her part for the clan.
The subordinate who had gone to the Miao territory in southern Xinjiang was attacked by the local Miao Gu masters, who seemed to be very unwelcoming to outsiders. The subordinate fought and retreated while protecting himself, while trying to explain to the other party that he had no malicious intentions, but where would those Gu masters listen to his explanation, they rushed up in a swarm, and beat them around the men who took their lives, all kinds of strange Gu worms were thrown out, and all kinds of strange Gu techniques were also used, driving that subordinate out of the southern frontier with a head and face.
The subordinate who went to the Yumen Pass in the Western Regions felt that the environment was harsh, the conditions were extremely difficult, and the local folk customs were also quite strong. He took a turn outside the gate, and the whole person lost weight twice, and he felt that during this time, his spirit and body were greatly damaged. After returning to the emperor in embarrassment, he finished talking about his manager with a bitter face, and cried that the place where birds don't is really not for people.
In the end, only the man who went north to the steppe remained. Wu Yan was quite disappointed with the performance of the first two subordinates, and after she sent a fire, Li Se said to the two: "If Wu Jiang also returns in vain, then the three of you will go to the front line together as companions, and prepare to sacrifice your life for my Lich Clan!"
These words frightened the two subordinates enough, and their legs were so weak that they couldn't stand on the spot. The two men sat on the ground, facing the north, praying silently, praying that Wujiang would bring back good news. I bet these two men had never prayed so reverently before.
The third subordinate, named Wujiang, came back two days later than the second subordinate.
For the past two days, his two companions had not eaten well or slept well, and had nothing to do all day, and ran to a nearby hill, and stood on the top of the tallest tree, looking to the north.
When Wu Jiang came back from the standing tree of the two of them, he knelt down in front of Wu Yan and said with a look of shame: "The subordinates are not doing well, so the northern grassland is ......."
As soon as he said this, two of his companions pounced on him after screaming, one covering his mouth and the other holding him desperately glancing at him.
It's a pity that Wu Jiang hasn't figured out what happened, Wu Yan waved his hand, repelled two of his subordinates, scolded nonsense, suppressed his anger, stared at Wu Jiang's eyes, word by word, gritted his teeth and said: "You say it well, how about the northern grassland?"
"Yes, master. Wu Jiang replied respectfully, still wondering in his heart about the strange thing that happened just now, could it be that the two of them had convulsions? But at this time, he didn't have time to think too much, so he opened his mouth and told everything he had experienced when he went to the northern grassland.
It turned out that after this Wujiang arrived at the grassland, he saw the boundless green grassland, and herds of cattle and sheep, as well as herdsmen riding horses and whips. Wu Jiang only sighed that it was a good environment, and when he finished sighing, he stepped forward to greet a herdsman walking on a horse, intending to ask if there was a suitable place to settle in this area.
When the witch came closer, the herdsman happened to see him. Unexpectedly, the herdsman screamed and shouted, and then swung his long whip and struck at Wujiang.
As soon as he raised his hand, he grabbed the tip of the whip in the palm of his hand, and the herdsman pulled it without pulling it, so he simply didn't even want the whip, and shouted loudly in his mouth, and ran away with the horse's buttocks.
Wu Jiang grabbed the whip and stayed where he was, thinking to himself where and where is this? Before they could say a word, they were going to whip people, and they were too hospitable.
In the three or four tents not far away, someone heard the herdsman's shouting, so they shouted and cheered, each took out a horse, the one with the long whip in his hand, and the one with the big knife, after the herdsman yelled at them a few times, and pointed to Wujiang who was standing in place and didn't know why, the group of people all climbed on horseback, shouted loudly and rushed towards Wujiang, looking at the posture, wanting to kill Wujiang on the spot.
Wu Jiang said in his heart that he had just arrived here, and he hadn't done anything bad, so why did he invite this murderous disaster?
If it was in normal times, he would definitely sneer at these ordinary people, and he didn't have to look at them directly, and he cooked them all with a gesture. But this time I have a task on me, to find a suitable place for my master to live in seclusion. In that case, he could not kill anyone, and he could not cause trouble for the future master's residence here, so he had to be patient and take away the whips that those men had thrown at him, and the broadsword that had been cut down, and then kick them off his horse one by one. Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the tall and mighty grassland men lying on the ground, and shouted: "Why the hell do you come up to kill me!?"
"Shaman, shaman, shaman!"
These prairie men shouted in amazement, with all kinds of expressions on their faces, such as horror, respect, fear, awe, etc. This confuses Wujiang, and what does the 'shaman' they mean by shouting?
However, before he could ask a question, the prairie men got up from the ground one by one, turned around and ran, and shouted "shaman" and "shaman" in their mouths as they ran.
Wu Jiang looked at the tall and mighty prairie men running away, scratching the back of his head suspiciously, and wondered even more.
