Chapter 164: Tempting Neon
But why is this happening?
In the camp of the Yibu people, there was a lot of laughter, and the people of the Yibe were celebrating the failure of the eagles to escape the tribe, but I had a stomach.
The flock of eagles came too suddenly, obviously menacing, and should have been completely prepared. However, the leader of the eagle flock had no intention of attacking, although on the surface it seemed that I had come forward to persuade the eagle flock to retreat. But inexplicably, I feel like I've been taken advantage of, this feeling is very strange, and I can't tell what's wrong, and the leader of the eagle flock, since he can turn into a human form, he must have some cultivation, and he can command the eagle flock to attack, he is by no means a simple character, how can he be threatened by me in a few words.
The Eagle Clan has never been a race that would do something like nothing.
And the sentence he left me before he left was even more strange.
"If you help humanity, it won't end well."
Could it be that at this time, if he says, you wait, I will come back sooner or later to take revenge on you. Isn't it more deterrent? But he just said that I would not end well if I helped mankind, he did not threaten me with his own identity, and that sentence was more like a warning.
Unless, the matter of the eagle flock attacking the tribe was originally arranged by people.
But who will it be? Who has such a great ability to coerce the leader of the eagle flock with some cultivation to lead the eagle flock to attack, and at such a time, and now among the people around me, the only person I can think of with such a ability should be Yun Chu, could it be her? Could it be that she did this in order to help Yuan Jue gain Xiong Lie's trust?
But she should know very well that Yuan Jue alone did not have the ability to repel the eagle group, but if Yun Chu just let the eagle group attack the rest of the Quxiong tribe, causing the tribe to suffer losses, and forcing Xiong Lie to join forces with Yuan Jue, it would be different.
But wouldn't this result in the death of many innocent people? How could Yun Chu let the leader of the eagle flock help her?
Although I was suspicious of the raid on the tribe by the eagles, it was not easy to show it in front of so many people, so I decided to hide it in advance, not to publicize it, and to make other plans slowly.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Jue, who had been standing next to me, noticed my slightly strange look and asked with concern.
I looked at him with a heavy heart, and I didn't know whether to tell him my question, but now that there was no evidence, how could he believe that Yun Chu, who had been with him for a long time, was not only his biological mother, but also the Yibu witch who was behind the scenes.
Ibe shrine maiden? Yibe? Mrs. Qimo? Something suddenly occurred to me.
Xiong Lie walked towards his tribe, leaving me and Yuan Jue alone, Yuan Jue leaned over to me a little and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
His words caught me a little off guard, before I had time to think about how to tell him about it, but it happened so suddenly, after the threat of the eagles leaving was lifted, everyone calmed down, and Yuan Jue should have noticed that something was wrong.
"Yes." I said lightly, "Don't you think the eagles came too suddenly?" ”
"Well, although they came fiercely, they didn't mean to attack, but they were just pretending." Of course, Yuan Jue also discovered this, "But just now in the dark clouds, I seemed to see the eagle flock take the lead and fall to the ground, turning into a human appearance." ”
I was shocked, how did he just see this scene, just now when the leader of the eagle flock swooped down, the eagle flock circled above the head of the tribe, stirring up dark clouds, and there was a strong wind, even if I could see Yuan Jue and them, but they shouldn't be able to see us, the leader of the eagle flock could not appear in human form in front of other ordinary people, and the dark clouds became his enchantment.
Yuan Jue and the others are outside the enchantment, why can they see the things in the enchantment.
I asked him, "What did you just see?" ”
"Suddenly a dark cloud obstructed you, and a flock of eagles swept you around, and I was afraid of what you would mean, so I tried to open my eyes and see. I only vaguely see a figure standing with you behind the dark clouds. Yuan Jue painted the scene he had just seen. But why do you look so nervous? ”
Of course I'm nervous, if the leader of the eagle flock lets him see it, I'm afraid it will be bad for him in the future.
"What the hell happened just after the dark clouds?" Yuan Jue estimated that it was because of my attitude that something must have happened just now, "Did you notice anything else?" ”
"A little." I looked at him, but swallowed back what I was about to say. I didn't tell him, there was something about my suspicion of Yun Chu, "I'm afraid there are people around who can perform magic spells, I'm worried that the attack of the eagle flock was deliberately arranged, and as soon as we arrived, the flock of eagles also arrived, obviously coming at us." You should be careful in everything you do, and be careful. ”
I was telling Yuan Jue to be careful, but I subconsciously felt that someone was staring at us, and instinctively thought it was the tribal king Xiong Lie, but when I looked at him, Xiong Lie was talking and laughing with the people in his tribe, and he didn't notice us at all.
Strange, is it my delusion?
"Where is Jiang Yan?" Xiong Lie turned back to Marshal Jiang, but Marshal Jiang had long since disappeared, Xiong Lie complained, "This Jiang Yan is always stuffy and not gregarious at all, don't be surprised." Come and prepare a tent for the second son and others. ”
Yuan Jue listened to Xiong Lie's words, and then walked from my side to Xiong Lie.
"Second son, it's been a long journey, now take a good rest in the camp. After dinner in the evening, we will talk about the cooperation in detail. "Xiong Lie has already sent someone to prepare first, and after the incident of the eagle group, I feel that Xiong Lie is a little restrained, and he is much more polite to us people.
"Okay." Yuan Jue responded calmly.
After a night of bumps on horseback, everyone was already too tired to look good, Xiong Lie explained that the person who went to arrange accommodation for us was very careful to arrange every camp tent and invited us to stay. But the strange thing is that when we arranged for everyone before, it was two or three people living in a tent, but in the end, when Yuan Jue and I arrived, the waiter left us a tent for each person, and he only said that it was explained by the king, and he was afraid that we would not rest well, so he made such an arrangement. Didn't explain much about the rest.
We can't help but be suspicious, but since the master has already arranged it, and we are worried that we will misunderstand the good intentions of others, we have to do this first, and then see if Xiong Lie is really "kind".
The waiter first arranged a tent for me to live in, and then left with Yuan Jue, my tent is not close to everyone, I don't know if it is an unintentional coincidence, or a deliberate arrangement.
I walked around the tent and was curious about the furnishings. The nomadic Yibu people made their tents their home, and like the houses I saw in the wooden city, they set up their tents wherever they went, which was somewhat similar to Yuan Jue's military camp. But the difference is that the Yibe people have everything in their tents, and they are no different from houses.
After resting for a while, I stood up, lifted the curtains, and breathed in the aroma of the grass outside the tent.
This kind of life is more tacit with me, compared to the high-walled compound, the constraints of many rules, and the lifestyle of the Yibe people is not without fun at all. The smell of dew everywhere made me feel rejuvenated and refreshed in no time.
"Childe." The maids dressed in Yibe costumes were already waiting outside my tent, I thought they were just passing by randomly, but I didn't expect that she didn't speak up until I eased up for a while, and I reacted for a while to realize that she was calling me.
Seeing that I was looking at them, they came over, "If the son is rested, he might as well go to eat outside the big tent now." ”
Eating outside the big tent? I realized that it was already dark, but I suddenly remembered Yuan Jue and them, "I don't know ...... the second son now."
"The second son has already gone to the banquet, and explained that we are waiting outside the son's tent, so the son has to rest for a while, and then accompany the son to the outside of the big tent when the son wakes up." The maid who walked in front lowered her head slightly, and although she avoided me directly, I noticed that her gaze fell on my feet, and this detail unexpectedly made me think that the people of Yibe were actually very polite and well-behaved, and not as barbaric as I thought.
"Okay, I've rested, and I'll ask a few girls to lead me there." I vaguely knew the location of the big tent, but after all, it was not good to be too ostentatious in other people's territory, so I was a little more humble and asked these maids to take me there.
They smiled and led me to the tent.
In a few moments, I had arrived, and they had retreated to both sides. It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I understood what they meant by eating outside the big tent, and these Yibe people actually set up a banquet outside the big tent, and set up a grill between the banquets, and made a fire, and a lamb was roasted on the fire.
How could I have seen such a scene, and when I saw the lamb for the first time, I immediately felt very uncomfortable.
"Come on." But it was Yuan Jue, who was sitting on the side, who got up first, came over and grabbed my elbow and led me to sit down beside him, and when he turned around, he also looked at the poor lamb with my gaze intentionally or unintentionally.
When the two of us sat down and looked away from the lamb, we slowly noticed the strange eyes around us.
"The two sons seem to be in a good relationship." I don't know who said such a sentence at the banquet, and it was as lively as an explosion in the pan, and the four of them were all discussing the unusual intimacy between me and Yuan Jue.
Some people even quipped, "The second son's appearance is beyond ordinary people, but I didn't expect that his preferences are very different from ordinary people." ”
There are too many implied meanings in this sentence. I only heard a sudden burst of laughter around me, but it was different from the amusement of Yuan Jue's old department before, and there was no lack of provocation in the words of the Yibu people, which made the smell of gunpowder quite heavy in the banquet. I don't know what happened before I arrived, but I don't think it was that kind.
I still remember when Xiong Lie looked at me, I could understand the disdain of the Yibu people for the people of Yu, the nomadic people are tall and mighty, one is bigger than the other, and the people of Yuguo are not as powerful as them.
I was sitting on the sidelines, not saying a word. With only the afterglow, he could see Xiong Lie sitting on the main seat, looking at this qiē with great interest, he did not mean to stop it in the slightest, but he seemed to be especially encouraging the provocation of the people in his tribe. It's basically a cold look at us guests, and conniving at other people to bully us.
Yuan Jue was still silent, as if he hadn't heard it.
After a while, the room was quiet, and no one paid any attention to the Yibu people, so that they quickly lost their pleasure and shut up their own boring. Xiong Lie broke the deadlock with a voice, he raised his glass, "The second prince and his party came to my Quxiong, and I haven't had a chance to officially introduce it before, this king Xiong Lie is the leader of the Quxiong tribe. ”
"Yuan Jue." Yuan Jue raised his glass and responded indifferently.
"Qiao Ping."
"Gao Yong."
…… Everyone who came with Yuan Jue also raised their glasses in response.
It's just that suddenly, I noticed that Xiong Lie was looking at me with a puzzled face, and the wine glass in his hand didn't mean to move, that is, ...... I turned around and looked around, and there was no one in the audience, and it turned out that Xiong Lie was waiting for me to speak.
I don't know if I should be like the men who picked up their glasses and put their names on them. Perhaps, as soon as I say my name, they will all know that I am not a childe. Should you reveal your identity at this time?
Just when I hesitated, Yuan Jue suddenly drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, stretched out his hand, took the wine glass in my hand, showed it to everyone present, and finally stopped in front of Xiong Lie, he only chin slightly, intended to point to me, "She is not strong enough to drink, I will drink it for her." ”
Yuan Jue said, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup again.
"The second son has a good amount of alcohol!" Xiong Lie hesitated for a moment, but praised Yuan Jue. He followed and led the crowd to drink, but when he raised his head and brought the glass to his lips, his eyes looked at me, intentionally or not.
I noticed Xiong Lie's reaction and knew that he had doubts about my identity.
But I didn't expect that several intimate and very charming women around Xiong Lie seemed to have been instructed, and as soon as their eyes changed slightly, they got up lightly and flew from Xiong Lie's side to surround me.
One of them, a slightly brightly dressed woman, leaned delicately against me, and without thinking about it, she turned sideways and ducked.
But my move seemed to be in her arms, her body branches were as soft as a weak willow, the more I hid, but she came to me with a smile, holding the wine glass in her hand, and raised her orchid finger to my lips, "How can Childe not drink a sip of wine, take a sip." ”
"Girl, please respect yourself." I am close to Yuan Jue's arms, and there is no way to retreat, so I can only hope that she will be restrained.
But when she listened to my words, she was even more presumptuous, I had a feeling of being entangled by a python, and I didn't notice that Xiong Lie was glaring at her again, she raised the wine glass to my lips several times, but between pushing and pushing, "oops".
The glass in her hand slipped down decently and fell onto my clothes. (To be continued.) )
