Chapter 262: Baili Clan's Shangguan Rong

You Xuefei swept between the canopy of a leafy tree and looked into the distance, on a lawn in the distance, there were men and women gathered in twos and threes, as well as old people and children, surrounded by burly men holding short knives and vigilant around.

At that moment, the bearded man who had attempted the burglary walked up to a man in yellow dressed as a ranger and whispered a few words to him, and the two of them left the campfire and headed for a mountain path toward the river.

You Xue didn't know if these old and weak women and children were captured for them, or their families, she had no time to care about it now, she stared at the direction in which the two disappeared and followed.

The source of the Shahe River is a tributary of the Oro River, passing through Mengjun, Qiyang, and basins from north to south.

In the early years, I heard that gold sand appeared in the river, and if I was lucky, I could find gold the size of my thumb, which attracted a large number of gold diggers, and set off a bloody storm in this area, but in the end it was in vain.

To this day, you can still see small mounds along the banks of the river that accumulate like mountains that glisten golden in the sun.

At this moment, under the starry sky in the dark night, two men, one fat and one thin, stood in the middle of the Sand River, leaning over and teasing the river and talking about something.

The thin man's voice was very clear, like a clear mountain stream, but his tone was extremely angry: "They are also dead?"

The bearded man nodded, his eyes heavy: "Yes, if I hadn't noticed something wrong and rushed over, and one of the brothers still had a breath, we wouldn't have gotten such important news!"

"That medicine fairy is now in their hands?"

Will it be Aunt Qiong?

Who are they? Could it be the one transporting the Kraken, or the mysterious tribe? But this place is still two days away from Liba City, and this mysterious tribe should still be confronting Li Yan!

You Xue stared in disbelief and continued to eavesdrop.

"I don't know, but is that medicine fairy really credible? We know that those soldiers were poisoned in the second half of Zeyang Town, but we all drank the water, and there was nothing unusual! I have also investigated the town a few times in the past few days, and I have not found anything suspicious..."

"I came here just now, it seems that there is a strange woman in the town, who is very good at light skills and can be poisonous, could it be someone over there?"

"Why don't you take her?"

The beard suddenly turned red: "I... Not her opponent!"

At this time, the two suddenly felt that the wind was blowing on their cheeks, and there was a faint fragrance of medicine floating.

In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, and the two of them retreated again and again, vigilantly clenching their short knives in their hands and preparing to attack.

You Xue greeted the bearded man enthusiastically: "Hey, are the mooncakes I made delicious?"

The corners of the bearded man's mouth stiffened, and when he saw the leader's suspicious eyes, he immediately explained: "I... I stole it, no, she gave it to me..."He couldn't explain it clearly, his head was covered with cold sweat, but the thin man on the side of the sect was more vigilant and retreated a few steps away from him.

After so much betrayal, he can no longer trust anyone, including his brother who was born and died.

You Xue on the opposite side saw that the two of them had their own thoughts, and they had already guessed one or two, she smiled and said: "Let me explain, this bearded brother not only poisoned my horse late at night, but also wanted to kill me and steal my baggage, and I caught him, I read that he had an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child downstream, so I spared his life with kindness." ”

"You demon girl nonsense, when did Lao Tzu say that I have an eighty-year-old mother and child, and Lao Tzu has not yet married!"

You Xue smiled even deeper, thinking that this person was very interesting, she turned her eyes to look at the thin man, "Two big brothers, you know that you are not my opponent, and I have no ill will towards you, I am here to find my master, she is a white-haired woman wearing a green coat and a hat, about fifty years old, can you see her?"

The thin man looked at her suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the apprentice of the medical immortal?"

Seeing that the other party did not deny Qiong Qi's whereabouts, You Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, she took a few steps forward and arched her hand: "Little girl Nanxing, may I ask the two eldest brothers with their surnames?"

The thin man stared at her silently for a long time, seeing that her eyes were clear, calm and calm, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Shangguan Rong." ”

When the bearded man saw that the leader had spoken, he could only angrily yell at her and say, "Ouyang Huo!"

You Xue couldn't help but laugh, and said in her heart that Ouyang Huo's father and mother were really talented, and she had seen her child's character from birth.

"Two eldest brothers, I listened to your conversation just now, and I really took the liberty of looking for people, I hope that the two of you can tell me the whereabouts of my master now, and who is the other party you are talking about?"

"Ten days ago, our brother who was exploring the sentry in front of us accidentally ate a poisonous fish in the lower reaches of the Shahe River, and was rescued by the medical fairy, after meeting with us, the medical fairy learned that I was from the Shangguan clan, so he asked me about the whereabouts of the group of forces that pursued me, and rode a fast horse towards Shayao City, the medical fairy was kind to us, so I sent a few brothers to follow, but I didn't expect them to be killed! ”

You Xue had a bad premonition in her heart, and she said urgently: "Who are you? What kind of force is the other party? Where did the medical immortal disappear?"

Ouyang Huo saw that her face, which had always been calm, finally collapsed, and immediately felt a little refreshed in her heart, and a little unbearable, "Don't worry, this is a long story." ”

The Baili tribe is a sparsely populated tribe north of the southwest, and compared to other ethnic groups, they have only more than 10,000 people. They are close to the northwest, south to the Wushan Mountains, the climate is cold, the spring and autumn are short, it is the only tribe in the southwest tribe that herds horses, cattle and sheep for a living, and because the reckless jungle and the mountains and forests contain the herbs that are cherished and difficult to find in the outside world, although the climate is harsh, the ancestors have taken root in this place from generation to generation.

The Shangguan family is the leader of the Baili tribe, because the Baili tribe is close to the northern territory, there are often bandits or enemy tribesmen dressed as bandits through them to enter the southwest territory, so the people of the past generations can be brave in battle, and they are even more proficient in kung fu.

But just seven or eight years ago, the former patriarch, that is, Shangguan Rong's father, rescued a father and daughter who fled on the way to the mountains to hunt, saying that they were chased and killed by the enemy and got lost in the mountains and forests.

Soon after the two were brought back to the clan, the girl actually had a secret affection with the patriarch who was more than 20 years older than her, and had a skin-to-skin relationship, so she became the concubine of the patriarch.

Later, Shangguan Rong's mother died of illness, and the patriarch was also seriously ill because of this, unable to deal with the affairs of the clan, among which several elders who were not inferior to the Shangguan family were suddenly ready to try to annex and control the sheep and horse farm in the Shangguan family, secretly cooperating with the border forces in the north, and the father and daughter also stole the account books and trading lists in the family and handed them over to one of the Baili Fei, who was in full swing.
