Chapter 288: Qi Lu's whereabouts

The largest tribe in the South?

Hearing this news in Yan Nan's ears, he only felt his heart beating suddenly.

He admired the second master Qi more and more, who was only known and never seen. I really like challenges, and I pick the difficult ones and ask for human lives to do them.

Although the southern border is nominally a subject state of the Great Wei, the southern border is self-contained, and it is the kind of pattern in which scattered people are attached to small tribes, and small tribes are dependent on large tribes.

In the south, there is no such thing as nobility and inferiority, only competition between tribes.

The winner is king, and the loser is slave.

The small tribes are constantly being swallowed up by the big tribes, and the big tribes are constantly splitting into several small tribes, which are swallowed up by the big tribes, and then the cycle repeats.

Perhaps the big tribe at this time will be nowhere to be found next year.

"As far as I know, in the entire southern border, there is only one Wu tribe that has always guarded the richest depression in the south. Maybe that's what the girl said about the 'largest tribe in the south'......," Yan Nan frowned.

"Wicans?" Xie Ke's voice repeated softly.

"Yes, the whole of that tribe has the surname 'Wu', and it is said that they have mastered the unknown witchcraft of the South. As for what kind of witchcraft, or even whether there is witchcraft, it is unknown. At least I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Unlike the other tribes, the Wu clan is very united and never fights among themselves, so that the foreign tribes have no chance to annex the Wu clan. Therefore, in recent decades, the Wu people have always rested in that land, and can barely be called the largest tribe in the south. ”

Xie Ke looked at Yan Nan's expression and saw that his brows were almost twisted into the word 'Sichuan'. The joy in my heart to learn of Qi Lu's possible movements instantly dissipated. "Yan Gongzi. Wican...... Hard to convince? ”

Yan Nan had a worried look on his face, and finally shook his head and nodded again. For a while, Xie Ke didn't know what he meant.

"Young lady, this question is really difficult to answer. Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who has anything to do with the Wu clan. Not to mention letting the Wu clan come forward to help the southern part of Great Wei. So I really think that the second son is acting ...... It's really free and easy, fearless. After pondering for a while, Yan Nan found these two applicable words.

Xie Ke was silent.

Yan Nan's words were very polite. In fact, he wanted to say that Qi Lu acted boldly and without brains.

Listening to the meaning of Yan Nan's words, it seems that the result of this trip to the Wu clan will definitely not be gratifying.

Xie Ke is also sensible. Yan Nan talked about this. If she asks deeper, it will be self-defeating. Although he felt that Yan Nan's words did not apply to Qi Lu.

The man wasn't a brainless man. On the contrary, he is actually very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and is very good at taking advantage of the situation.

Since he has gone to the Wu Clan. That shows that he has faith.

At least he wouldn't blindly ask for help. He must have something to rely on. However, it was inconvenient for her to talk to Yan Nan about this.

"I have Miss Ahsan to lead the way. If Yan Gongzi feels that this trip is ominous......"

"What did the young lady say? I will open my mouth to agree, and there will naturally be a beginning and an end. Isn't it just a witch clan? I am determined to accompany the young lady to this experience. Yan Nan's face was deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing Xie Ke's words, he couldn't help but refuse bluntly.

Seeing Xie Ke's hesitant face. Yan Nan's expression on his face couldn't help but slow down a little, and then he spoke softly again. "Young lady doesn't have to think about it, if this trip can be successful, I will also have a lot of contempt for my Yan family. I'm not willing to take risks for the sake of young ladies, I'm for the hundred-year fame of my Yan clan, and I don't want to see my Yan clan's ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan. ”

Just when Xie Ke and Yan Nan were discussing the trip to the Wu Clan.

Lin Changyuan's voice suddenly rose to the side. “…… Girl, what's wrong with you, is it cold? Do you want me to find you a robe to keep out the cold? Xie Ke and Yan Nan couldn't help but follow the sound to look at Ah Shan, who was huddled next to a big rock. I saw that her body was shaking and she didn't look good.

Although she was born ugly, Ah Shan at this time looked like a frightened rabbit.

If you don't look at her face, it's easy to feel pity. Ah Shan gritted his teeth and shook his head, Xie Ke could almost hear her teeth chattering. Xie Ke looked puzzled, although it was cold on this mountain, it would not be cold people trembling. Besides, Ah Shan was fine a moment ago, why did he suddenly look like this.

It's like I'm guilty of some hidden disease.

Yan Nan on the side looked at Ah Shan for a moment.

Then he suddenly said to Ah Shan. "Are you afraid? Afraid of what? Wicans? As soon as the word Wu came out, I saw that Ah Shan trembled even more. Her somewhat cloudy eyes looked at Yan Nan in fear, and then in everyone's concerned gaze, suddenly she rushed to the dwarf bush on the side like a small beast, and her body only rose and fell a few times, and it had disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Young grandma, her subordinates just care about her." Lin Changyuan was dumbfounded, he was just concerned that she was frozen and didn't show them the way, so he kindly planned to give her a robe, how could he scare her...... Flee.

"It's none of your business." Xie Ke waved his hand, signaling that Ah Shan's actions had nothing to do with Lin Changyuan.

"This girl, presumably her father or she was harmed by the Wu clan when she was a child, so even if one person has lived in the boundary mountain for a long time, the fear of the Wu clan is still there. We brought up the witch clan to make her scare like that. Yan Nan said with emotion.

Xie Ke sighed lightly.

"Young grandma, do you want to send someone to chase after you?" Lin Changyuan couldn't help but say anxiously when he saw Ah Shan's figure disappear into the forest. This person has no sense of responsibility, but they have to rely on her to lead the way, so she just ran away without saying a word. "No need, she's just scared for a while, she'll come back later, we'll rest here a little longer and wait for her."

Lin Changyuan nodded, muttering that the mountains are high and the forests are deep, that woman should not be lost, while shouting at the brothers to sit on the ground.

"After crossing the Boundary Mountain, we went straight to the Wu Clan? Or do you want to find a place to settle down and make a decision after you find out? ”“…… It's better to find a place to settle down and explore before making arrangements. What does the head of the Yan family think? "The young lady is wise." Yan Nan said with a smile.

Xie Ke looked at the noble boy beside him.

I suddenly felt that this person was the kind of person between my little uncle Chu Ye and Qi Lu's temperament.

He acted steadily, seemed to be more reserved and steady than his little uncle, and had the kind of boldness that Qi Lu had in his bones. looks like a noble son, but he does not care a little bit about things. It took him less than an hour from meeting her to deciding to go south with her.

Obviously, this person is also a person who doesn't play cards according to the rules, but he is born with such a convincing elegant temperament.

Sure enough, as Xie Ke said, an hour later, Ah Shan came out of the bushes again. Then he looked at Xie Ke with a worried face. "Sister Bao'er......" "Ah Shan is back, isn't it time for us to leave." Xie Ke said with a smile on his face, without the slightest condemnation on his face. Ah Shan's worried expression couldn't help but be stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go." Then he said in a strange tone.

For the rest of the trip, Ah Shan was very silent. This will continue until the camp for the night.

The boundary mountain stretches for dozens of miles, and the peak they climbed is the slowest of the several peaks, if there is no Ah Shan to lead the way, it will be difficult for them to go around here, I am afraid that they will directly climb over the steep peak in their eyes, that mountain is not only steep and difficult to walk, but also dense with jungle, it is simply difficult to walk an inch.

At this time, Xie Ke was glad that they had met Ah Shan.

After choosing a place to camp, Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin shouted at the guards to set up camp and prepare dinner. Xie Ke sat under an old tree with red leaves and stretched his legs. Walking like this for a day was not a small ordeal for Xie Ke, Xie Ke gritted her teeth and let the red leaves press her sore legs and feet.

At this time, Ah Shan, who had been curled up in the corner, suddenly approached.

For Ashan's approach, Momiji obviously doesn't like it. It's not because Ah Shan is ugly, it's because the taste of Ah Shan's body is really unbearable.

However, Xie Ke did not see anything unusual on his face.

Seeing Ah Shan approaching, he beckoned cordially, which made Ah Shan's original hesitant steps instantly steady.

"Young grandma, this girl is full of bugs." Momiji said worriedly.

Xie Ke glanced at Hongye lightly, Hongye's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but take a step back, not daring to say anything more. "Ah Shan, do you have anything to tell me?" Ah Shan also seemed to know that he was not liked, so he stopped at a distance from Xie Ke's father, and then looked at Xie Ke without blinking. Seeing this, Xie Ke asked gently.

Ah Shan nodded.

"Sister Bao...... Are you going to the Wicans?" Xie Ke hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Ah Shan's expression changed instantly, and fear and uneasiness flashed across her blue face. After a while, she seemed to have made a decision. "Wu clan, I was born in the Wu clan...... "In the following hour, Ah Shan stumbled and told Xie Ke about his origin.

The more Xie Ke listened, the more solemn the expression on his face became.

After Ah Shan finished the last sentence, there seemed to be wetness in his eyes. "If Sister Bao is going to the Wu Clan, please take me with you." Eventually, Ahsan pleaded. "Ah Shan, your father has worked hard to take you to escape from the Wu Clan, if you go back, won't you fall into the net?"

“…… Sister Bao, I can't always run away, I want to go back. Go back and face ......" in the end, Ashan Dao.

Xie Ke sighed heavily, and nodded in Ah Shan's earnest gaze. Ah Shan smiled, although her face was ugly, but this smile made people feel her joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally, she bowed down and saluted Xie Ke heavily.

Looking at Ah Shan's brisk departure, Xie Ke couldn't help but say to the red leaves who had already listened stupidly to the side. "Do you still think that girl is annoying?"

Momiji shook his head.

"Young grandmother, Miss Ashan is obviously afraid of the Wu clan, but why do you insist on accompanying the young grandmother?" Momiji doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand.

In the daytime, the word 'Wu Clan' scared Ah Shan into hiding. But at this time, she came to rescue the young grandmother and took her to the Wu Clan. (To be continued.) )
