"That's right, in fact, when Hou Zi said this, it seems that it is true, Niyin girl is really compatible with the second son." Someone echoed Hou Yue's words and began to coax, and everyone looked at me and Yuan Jue in unison.

"Don't talk nonsense." I patted Hou Yue on the head, although I said him, I also said it to others. And these people who are vulgar in the military camp are not something that can be scolded with a simple single sentence, I can only quietly turn my head and beg Gu Yuanjue, hoping that he will come forward and let others stop talking nonsense.

Yuan Jue, who was still looking at me just now, avoided my gaze at this time, as if he didn't notice my request for help at all, he looked straight at the person who was coaxing, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Doesn't my sister like the second son?" Hou Yue did not restrain and continued to mess around.

"How so." Vice Admiral Qiao, who reacted later, also joined everyone, and before I had time to refute Hou Yue, he said, "If Miss Niyin doesn't like the second son, how can she take the risk to save the second son, do you still remember, when we met Miss Niyin in the mass grave, her eyes were a little red." Needless to say, I must have heard what the people in the city said, thinking that something had happened to our second son, so I didn't care about the darkness, and rummaged in the mass grave alone. ”

"That's right, my sister must have been worried that something had happened to the second son, so she cried. At that time, my sister and a woman were standing in the middle of a group of dead bodies, wow, it was scary, but there was no reaction at all. Hou Yue added fuel to the fire, and said that my reaction that day was very exaggerated.

At this time, a group of people suddenly began to talk about it. I could hear someone deliberately feigning surprise in the midst of a crowd of deafening voices, "Isn't it scared that a girl is going to die in a mass grave?" Oops, that's so bold. ”

They described things more and more darkly, as if they were trying to find some flaws and prove that the relationship between me and Yuan Jue was really not simple.

Yuan Jue remained silent from beginning to end, he pretended to watch this qiē happen deeply, as if everyone's words and deeds were within his expectations, and he pretended to be ignorant with a sanctimonious look.

"Do you want to say a word or not?" I finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to him and asked.

Yuan Jue looked at me at this time, and then said to everyone, "Okay, hurry up, we are about to approach the boundary of the Quxiong Tribe, so as not to cause any extraneous branches, everyone be careful." ”

He said to the end and turned his head to look at me.

It was simply deliberate, he deliberately changed the topic lightly, not to ask them not to continue, but to ask everyone to hurry up. The scheming is too deep, and I just hope they misunderstand.

I turned my head away from him, and the crowd was busy leading their horses and getting ready for their journey, and I didn't go any further.

"Be careful." Yuan Jue suddenly pulled me behind me, but no matter how fast he reacted, we were also surrounded by the Yibu soldiers who suddenly killed, these people seemed to be in ambush for a while, just waiting for us to be a little distracted like this.

Everyone raised their swords and prepared to fight.

I was blocked behind by Yuan Jue, who was blocking me with one hand and holding the Dragon Yin Sword with the other.

"Yu people?" Suddenly, among the soldiers surrounding us, someone saw the mark on our horse and gave a hint to the man who took the lead, and then the two groups of people facing each other began to become extremely nervous.

"Since this place is close to the Quxiong tribe, they were only ambushed before, and they didn't rush forward at the beginning. Perhaps they are also afraid of some kind of force and dare not speak out lightly. I guessed that they were the people of the Quxiong tribe, so I whispered behind Yuan Jue and said.

Yuan Jue listened to my words, as if he was more sure of his intuition, and asked the person who took the lead in a dignified manner, "Are you from the Quxiong tribe?" ”

"Exactly." The leader swept a pair of eyes over all of us, but when it came to me and Yuan Jue, he stayed for a moment, and his eyes finally fell on Yuan Jue, "Your Excellency is the second son of Yu Kingdom?" ”

"It's me." Yuan Jue said.

"The king of my family has already heard that the second son of Yuguo, Hancheng, was defeated and fled to Xiangcheng, and he guessed that you would come, and ordered me to wait here for a long time." The man who took the lead put away his weapon, pushed away the Yibu soldiers who surrounded us, and stepped forward, "I'm Jiang Yan." is the first marshal under the Great Throne. ”

"Yuan Jue." Yuan Jue reported his name, and then looked around, "Marshal Jiang, since you said that the king sent you to wait, I don't know how long the ambush has been in place, but the hospitality of your Quxiong tribe?" ”

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let them collect the weapons together, okay?" ”

"Second son, they are from Yibu, be careful of deception." Gao Yong reminded on the side.

Yuan Jue thought for a moment, and said openly, "Marshal Jiang has been waiting here for a long time, if they have the intention of harming us, they can do it when we stopped our fatigue just now, and we don't have to wait until now." Everyone put away their weapons, and our trip was to show peace with the leader of Tongqu Xiong, so let Marshal Jiang see our sincerity first. ”

As soon as Yuan Jue said, everyone slowly put away their weapons one by one. Jiang Yan really didn't break his promise, and after we put away our weapons, he also signaled the soldiers of Yibu to put away their weapons, "Several, please." ”

Jiang Yan took us on a long drive into the territory of Yibu and entered the Quxiong tribe. In front of the big tent of the tribe, Jiang Yan asked me to wait, only invited Yuan Jue to enter alone, Yuan Jue was not worried about his own safety, turned around, patted the back of my hand gently, and then glanced at everyone, and then stepped into the tent alone, Jiang Yan, who was about to enter the tent after Yuan Jue, looked back at me, and then strode in.

The men of the Otto lowered the curtain of the tent, so that we could not see what was inside the tent.

"The second son will be fine." Adjutant General Joe muttered.

I heard it with my ears, but I didn't care, even if they trapped Yuan Jue alone inside, we who stayed outside couldn't hear the slightest movement in the tent, but with Yuan Jue's ability, if there was really fraud, he would never obediently tie his hands and arrest him, and there must be some movement.

I'm just thinking, that Jiang Yan.

We were dressed in the clothes we wore when we came out of Xiangcheng, and I was still pretending to be a man. And Yuan Jue is no different from others, Jiang Yan just glanced at it at that time, and knew that Yuan Jue was the second son in this line. If he hadn't seen Yuan Jue, he would have recognized me, although I never remembered seeing him, but the way Jiang Yan looked at me at that time, even if it was just that indifferent glance, made me feel a little puzzled.

Jiang Yan, Yibu Quxiong Tribe, Generalissimo. I'm pretty sure I didn't know him before, I think.

I don't know how Yuan Jue and they talked about it inside, they haven't come out for so long. I looked up at the sky, it was supposed to be noon, but the sun was noon, and the clouds were strange, and I was afraid that there would be a vision, which would not be a good thing for the steppe tribes.

The heavy curtain of the big tent was opened, and the person who came out first was not Yuan Jue, but a person who looked more mature than Yuan Jue, his body was more burly, and his dark complexion was the characteristic of the Yi tribe, they were nomadic in the grassland, so the skin was rougher than that of the Yu people, but the person who suddenly walked out in front of him was not a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he was very generous, relaxed and powerful.

He came out of the tent, but he happened to be standing in front of me, and looked down at me with a slight disdain in his eyes. I raised my eyebrows a little angrily, he thought I was a weak scholar-like man, I knew that the clothes I was wearing made me look thinner, but I shouldn't be affected by this attitude.

Yuan Jue then walked out of the big tent.

"Second son, your Yu army was defeated in Cold City, and now there are only a few people under your command, which can be regarded as nothing. You want to join forces with me, but I'm afraid you don't have enough chips in your hand. This Xiong Lie lived up to his name, and his temper and voice were as wanton as fire.

I listened to his voice, inexplicably lost my affection for this person, he was ninety percent similar to what I had guessed before, the only difference was this proud and domineering appearance, I looked up at him, he was naturally much taller than me, I couldn't even reach his shoulders.

Xiong Lie seemed to feel it, and he looked down at me, his eyes still defiant.

"King!" The soldiers of the Quxiong tribe suddenly rushed into it, panicked. "Something's wrong, flock of eagles...... The flock of eagles has arrived! ”

A flock of eagles?!

After we heard his words clearly, we followed the direction he pointed, and there was a scene of black pressure between heaven and earth, as if hundreds of eagles were raiding the tribe, and they were rushing to attack and imminent.

As soon as he looked at the eagles, Xiong Lie's face immediately changed.

Yuan Jue came to me and was also a little surprised to see this scene. The soldiers of Yu used to live in the city, how could they have seen such a scene, hundreds of eagles raided, it was by no means as easy as a land battle, once the eagle flock arrived, it would not only be a big loss to the Quxiong tribe's combat strength, but also threaten the survival of the Yibu people and hurt the livestock.

I see that Yuan Jue seems to be deliberately arranging, this group of eagles is about to arrive, and we will be a threat to us here at this moment.

I stretched out my hand and quietly pulled him, Yuan Jue made a little reservation, I turned to Xiong Lie and said, "If I help you out of the siege, are you willing to join forces with the second son to help him?" ”

Although Xiong Lie was annoyed by the sight and was shouting for the soldiers to resist, he stopped at my words. "Do you have what it takes?"

I slowly paced in front of the crowd, summoning my spiritual power to attract the attention of the eagles. The leader of the flock of eagles led hundreds of eagles to circle. In an instant, the wind swirled, blocking the dark clouds, the wind and clouds were treacherous, they did not attack the tribe, but only circled over the heads of everyone again and again without falling.

In a moment, the leader of the eagle flock swooped down on me, but he brushed me and fell behind me, and took on a human form before returning to me.

"Why are you helping humanity?" He asked me.

"I just don't want you to kill," I said lightly, "Since you have some cultivation and can lead the eagle flock to attack the Yibu, why do you want to do something that goes against the path of cultivation, and you destroy the balance between sentient beings for the sake of your own survival, I don't know what will happen if you let the people above know." ”

The leader of the flock of eagles looked difficult to deal with, he was extremely fierce, "You threaten me? ”

"Yes." I said, and quietly watched behind me, because the eagles hovering overhead made it impossible for them to get close to me and the leader of the eagles, staying in the distance and ready for a fight, "I'm just threatening you." ”

"Why are you?" He didn't mind me in the slightest, he simply decided that I couldn't deal with him in the first place. "All beings practice, who doesn't know your relationship with the phoenix, don't you want to sue me, do you want to inform the phoenix at this time, and the phoenix will give the emperor tomorrow."

He already saw why I wouldn't do it.

"If the phoenix knew that you were protecting humanity and using her to blackmail her own kind, I don't know how she would feel." Instead, he threatened me.

"I don't need a phoenix to restrain you." I raised my chin slightly and asked him to look at the grassland behind him, "This is the grassland, not only your eagle flock, but also other living beings, the reason why they dare not compete with you is because they are afraid of your powerful attack, so no one dares to come forward, and if I fight you to the death with my cultivation, you may not be able to get the sweetness." If I can summon the tree spirit, the thousands of creatures on the grassland will definitely swarm, even if it is not to assist me, I am afraid that they will have to seek justice from the eagles. You have to think about whether this attack at the cost of your clan is worth it. ”

His eyes, as if they were fixed on his prey, were so fierce that I could even hear the gurgling between his teeth as he approached me.

"Count you ruthless." After a stalemate for a while, he had to succumb to my blandness for the time being, and if he continued to stalemate, he would not gain any more, and the longer he delayed, the more awkward the situation of the eagles became, and he looked fiercely at the men behind me, dropped such a sentence, and left.

The flock of eagles, led by the leader, circled for another two weeks before moving away as the clouds dissipated.

The black oppression just now repeats the light between heaven and earth as the eagles leave.

I turned around to look at everyone, Yuan Jue stepped forward and stopped there, I walked towards him, just one step away, I suddenly heard a voice from the sky, it was the voice of the leader of the eagle flock just now, "You help the human race, there will be no good end." ”

Yuan Jue didn't hear it, and neither did the others present hear it, this sentence was said to me by the leader of the eagle flock alone.

The evacuation of the eagle flock caused the people of Yibe to fall into a cheer. They live in the grassland all their lives, living on nomadism, the biggest enemy is the eagle in the sky, suffering from the loss of eagle predation, this time, the eagle flock of the big attack on the tribe made people panic, I am afraid that such a scene for many people, is the first time in this life.

Xiong Lie came over amid the cheers of everyone and stood opposite us, and Yuan Jue turned around and happened to be standing among us.

My gaze stayed between the two of them, but there was an unexpected uneasiness that grew stronger and stronger, even to the point that I could not ignore them. I know that when they join forces, they will be each other's most powerful beings, and they will be each other's strongest opponents.

From this moment on, there was a hint of a secret rivalry between them. (To be continued.) )
