Chapter 18: The Night Moon in the Lancang

A victory did not make everyone get carried away, everyone knew that Benyuan City, as the most powerful city within a radius of thousands of miles, even the Qianliu City that they were going to take refuge in was only relying on the rule that the cities of the demon clan were not allowed to fight each other before they dared to go toe-to-toe with Benyuan City, and if they really wanted to fight, Qianliu City was not the opponent of Benyuan City at all.

Gongbang, this cruel and tyrannical city lord, is a platinum fifth-level powerhouse. And among the eight major commanders under him, four orthodox leaders are all strong people from the fifth to seventh levels of gold. The four deputy commanders are also masters like Mao Yi who have at least silver level nine and the highest gold level.

There are more than 3,000 city guards under his command, and the average level has reached the fifth level of bronze.

Such a power is definitely the first to be fingered within a radius of two thousand miles.

If given a choice, no one wants to go against Benyuan City.

But the Niujin tribe and the giant head tribe had no choice at all.

After hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield and cremating the bodies of the dead clansmen, the group once again headed in the direction of Qianliu City. Long before Tang Dou's plan began to be executed, the Niu Jin tribe sent a messenger, who was Niu Fei's own brother, the second scout in the clan after Niu Fei. He will take the first step to inform the city lord of Thousand Streams City, and the price paid is not only the face of the meaningless Fallen Prince, but the news about that legend is the biggest bargaining chip.

Although Su Wen did not admit it personally, he had already acquiesced to Tang Dou's guess, and the woman who knew the whereabouts of Jiuyao Tongling Rouzhi was her. However, Su Wen's identity had more secrets, because Tang Dou could see that she didn't care about the secret of the Jiuyao Tongling Rouzhi at all, and when Tang Dou mentioned using this as a bargaining chip to trade with Qianliu City, she agreed without any hesitation. Then there should be a deeper reason why she was hunted down by the principality.

Tang Dou didn't ask, and Su asked didn't say.

After rushing forward for another night, the demon people were hurrying very fast, and the road of a thousand miles was already halfway through.

In the evening, Niu Man, Su Wen, Tang Dou, and Black Tooth gathered around the bonfire to discuss the next plan of action.

"Xiaodou, you are the smartest, you can talk about it!" Niu Man has now used Tang Dou as Zhuge Liang.

Tang Dou smiled, touched his nose, and spread out the animal skin map in his hand.

"Look, we're now going up the river, and although it's the fastest path, it's also the most dangerous path. As long as Benyuan City sends a ship upstream, it can easily catch up with us. And we can't beat them in long runs. Tang Dou said while pointing to the map.

"On the other hand, if we rely entirely on the Thousand Streams, it is not a solution. In this way, it is very likely that he will repeat the mistakes of Benyuan City, and be taken by Qianliu City, and live and die at will. So even if we want to defect to the City of Thousand Streams, we need to make some preparations! ā€

"Ready? What preparation? "Black Tooth is new to the mix, so I don't know about it. However, he didn't dare to underestimate Tang Dou, but the battle during the day was enough to prove that Tang Dou, the five scumbags of the war, had the ability to control the situation.

"Chief of the Black Tooth, the Giant Head Tribe ran against the water and ran to the original city, and for the principality, he lost face even more than our Niujin tribe. If we take refuge in the Thousand Streams City like this, aren't you afraid that the Duchy will say to the Lord of the Thousand Streams Castle that they will let us go, but hand over you 'traitors'? ā€

Tang Dou's words made Hei Yan's face suddenly fade from all blood. If this is the case, then he is the biggest sinner of the Giant Head Tribe, and he led his people step by step to the abyss of death.

"Rest assured, Chief Blacktooth, now our two tribes are united. Naturally, we have to work together. So we have to take all the issues into account. Tang Dou showed a smile, which was regarded as reassuring the black teeth: "In order to deal with the situation I just said, then we can't go to Qianliu City so stupidly." It's about showing our value to the Thousand Streams! ā€

Hei Tooth is not a particularly smart person, if you really want to talk about wisdom, he is not as good as a cow. At this time, I was naturally confused: "Value? ā€

"Yes. What kind of refuge is valuable to StreamerCity? Just someone who brought them a message? Of course not. The demon clan worships force, if we can defeat the pursuers of Benyuan City, we will make a name for ourselves in the lower reaches of the Lancang River. Let everyone know our name. Then Qianliu City will treat us as treasures and will not trade us out privately. ā€

"At the same time, we show enough force to let Qianliu City know that we are not soft persimmons that can be pinched casually. If you treat us as your own people, then Qianliu City will be beneficial, if you want to deal with us like Benyuan City. Then we'll let them gnaw off a mouthful of big teeth! ā€

Tang Dou said, pointing his finger to a bend in the Lancang River thirty miles away.

"Look here, the course of the Lancang River here has become very narrow, and it is extremely difficult to sail. And at this bend, there are natural high slope fortifications. We set up an ambush here and dealt a hard blow to the pursuers of Benyuan City! Tang Dou waved his hand heavily.

Everyone's eyes burned, as if they had seen the next victory.

"Xiao Dou, our number is too small, if we just deal with ordinary pursuers, as long as we have enough preparation and planning, we can still succeed. But what if the other party goes out to master? Although I don't think it is possible for the Ducum to come out in person, even if only two of his four orthodox leaders come, we will have a great struggle. Su Wen's words were like a basin of cold water, which calmed everyone down.

Tang Dou smiled bitterly: "This is also what worries me the most. In Qingjiang Weikou, the fat man in Gongbang actually took action in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter. Although he was deceived at the time, it was clear that he had the guidance of a superior person, and immediately saw through our plan and sent a heavy army to hunt us down. And this time we have a big victory over the pursuers, and the next time we will send more manpower than this time, I estimate that it will not be less than five hundred! ā€

As he spoke, Tang Dou stroked his forehead with his hand: "As for the master, my strength is too low to estimate the damage caused by the master." ā€

"If the Duke's head goes out in person, he can kill all of us alone, and even if we fight to the death with all our might, we may only hurt him at most!" Niu Man sighed. Although he is very brave, he also knows the difference in strength.

"First of all, we can be sure that the Duchy can't send too many chasing soldiers, especially the city guards of Benyuan City, otherwise they will be truthful and questioned by the higher-ups. And if the city lord of Qianliu City is not an idiot, he will seize this opportunity to kill maggots. So the Dukes won't be so stupid, I estimate that 500 people is already the limit! Tang Dou slowly analyzed.

"As for the Ducum himself, I can't guess what he did, because I don't know much about him. But I think he'll send at least one of the orthodox ones as well. On the other hand, those men in black may gather all their forces to dispatch. I think there is a clear employment relationship between Na Maoyi and Black Diamond Wind. Now that the hired person has lost the face of the master's family, if the organization to which the man in black belongs doesn't want to lose his face, he will definitely do his best! ā€

"The leaders of these men in black have appeared three times, and they are all gold-level strength. If this is the average strength of their team leaders, then when they go out again, they should not be lower than two leaders of this strength! Su Wen helped Tang Dou analyze.

Tang Dou rubbed his swollen temples: "So this time we are nine deaths." What do you think? ā€

Niu Man and Black Tooth looked at each other a little, looked at Su Wen again, and finally the two chiefs who had been enemies of each other said in unison: "Fight." There is also a lifetime of nine deaths. If we do nothing, we will die! ā€

Su Wen said softly: "As long as it's not Gongbang himself, but just his commander, I can deal with it." But my battle spirit has been abolished, and I can't fight for long! ā€

"Leave this to me, and I will create an opportunity for Sister Su Wen to be one-on-one with the other party's commander. As for the principality, I have only one way! Tang Dou's face sank and he told his plan.

Niu Man and the three of them did not speak, and after being silent for a long time, they nodded at the same time: "It can only be like this." If it can be exchanged for a peaceful life for the clansmen in the future, such a sacrifice is possible! ā€

At the end of the meeting, the four of them dispersed, and Niu Man and Hei Fang went to make various arrangements. Tang Dou came to the Lancang River and looked at the surging river in a daze.

"Xiao Dou!" Su Wen appeared behind him.

"Sister Suwen!" Tang Dou didn't get up, but just responded in a low voice.

"What are you thinking?" Su Wen stood beside Tang Dou for a while before asking softly.

"I wondered, why am I here? If I came here to help everyone. Why am I so incompetent? If I'm just a passerby, then why should I take everyone on my own adventure? ā€

Su Wen didn't answer Tang Dou's question immediately, but grabbed a struggling green worm on a piece of wood by the river, and gently put it on the grass beside him. When the green worm was dying, he pretended to die for a long time in a daze, and then he was sure that there was no problem, and he disappeared into the grass one by one.

"This little fellow, without my interference, would have drowned in the river. And even if I save it this time, I can't save it forever, it will eventually die. In the same way, saving it will harm the grass. Was what I did right or wrong this time? "There is a light of wisdom in Su Wen's beautiful eyes.

"Xiaodou, in life, there are too many choices, and no one knows whether it is right or wrong. Just ask, with a clear conscience! ā€

"A clear conscience?" Tang Dou lowered his head and muttered a few words, and everything was replayed in his heart. From growing up in an orphanage, then following an old dealer to learn from a teacher, and then opening a household by himself, and finally coming to the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm and mingling with the Niujin tribe.

"Yes, with a clear conscience!" Tang Dou finally smiled, stood up, and bowed deeply to Su Wen.

"Xiaodou, I have something to ask you!" Su Wen looked into Tang Dou's eyes and said word by word.

The moonlight was imprinted on the Lancang River, and the tumbling river turned into silver spots all over the river, and a pair of long shadows, under the moonlight, were arguing in a low voice.
