"Old patriarch, the most important thing for us now is to solve the rebellion of the Tujia brothers outside. After surviving tonight, tomorrow will wait for someone to come to the rescue, and Jiang Pei and Hou Yin will not be able to stay outside the village. Wang Laohu continued.

"This Tujia crisis came so suddenly, and I'm still thinking, is their purpose just to be my patriarch? Although I am the patriarch, each village and tribe is still relatively independent, and it is only when there is a problem that I gather together. Old Patriarch Buni said.

"Are you saying that the craftsmen and Hou Yin are just using this position as an excuse?" Wang Laohu said, "Then what is their real purpose?" ”

"Who knows? These two guys, I don't know what's going on, this is simply a shame for our Tujia. Old Patriarch Buni said indignantly.

Looking at the corpses of the Tujia brothers in the village, the old patriarch felt extremely sad, after all, these were all his own people. Outside the wall, bows and arrows were shot inward, and the battle of bows and arrows on both sides continued.

"On both sides are Tujia brothers, I know, these brothers are lying here, you are very sad, in order to solve this dilemma today, not to let more people sacrifice, only let the people outside the village know the difficulties and retreat." Wang Laohu said, "I'll go out and talk to the two leaders, Jiang Pei and Hou Yin. ”

"Wang Gongzi, these two people have gone crazy, what else is there to talk about." The old patriarch was worried.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must work a hundred times harder. Old patriarch, be relieved inside, and I will meet him later. ”

The old patriarch ordered the Tujia brothers in the village to put away their bows.

Wang Laohu said in a loud voice: "Leader of the craftsman, leader Hou Yin, please stop attacking, I have something to say to you." ”

After Wang Laohu said this, there were obviously fewer arrows outside the wall, and soon they were completely gone.

Those who attacked outside the village also stopped attacking.

"Qingqing girl, keep an eye on the people outside the village, if you find out that they have misdeeds, I will kill him." Wang Laohu confessed, "Li Tian, take a few people out with me." ”

Before Wang Laohu left the village, he said again: "Leader of the craftsman, I am here to negotiate with you. After speaking, Wang Laohu, Li Tian and four members of the Minghu team walked out of the walled gate, and the walled gate slowly closed.

By this time, the sky was already faintly bright.

Wang Laohu and the leader of the craftsman and the leader of Hou Yin were twenty meters away, and more than ten meters away from Wang Laohu, standing in a row of archers, Wang Laohu moved forward and said: "Jiangnan has nothing, talk about giving a spring." Brothers have deep affection, why do they burn bean baskets. The Tujia family has loved each other for generations, why in this generation, it has become a situation where foreigners laugh and their own people cry. You didn't see the expression on the face of the old patriarch of Buni just now, those who were killed and injured were all Tujia brothers, whether it was the Thirteen Villages of the Tujia Family or the Wanshou Ancient Village. ”

"Wang Laohu, you are just a guest from outside now. I want you to be a neutral. The leader said.

"I'm here to be a neutral. Let me ask you, what is the purpose of the two of you joining forces to attack Wanshou Ancient Village? Wang Laohu asked.

"You want to be a peacemaker? It's okay, you can send a message to Bunny, and I want him to give up the position of old patriarch. Craftsman said.

"If you just want the old patriarch to give up the position of patriarch, you can't send troops and mobilize the people. Chieftain of the craftsman, these people are all Tujia brothers, they have sacrificed so many Tujia brothers tonight, they all have family members, they did not die in the hands of foreigners, but they were killed by their own people, you say, what is this. If you want to re-elect the patriarch, I can discuss it with the old patriarch, and you can do it according to your clan rules. Wang Laohu said.

Hou Yin, who had not spoken much, whispered to Jiang Pei: "Originally, we wanted to take Wanshou Ancient Village in one fell swoop, but we were unexpectedly discovered, and now we want to take Wanshou Ancient Village, it's not so simple." ”

"Now let's take a look at the leader of Beb inside, I hope he can succeed in his sneak attack, we just need to drag Bunny's people here, so that he doesn't have a chance to reinforce." ”

"Now that we're working with Bunny head-on, isn't it too badly damaged?" Hou Yin said.

"Since we have torn our faces, we have to say a reason clearly, otherwise it is not good to deal with the other two villages, although our Yayuan Tujiazhai is angry, he neither supports nor opposes. Now that the road is making trouble, there must indeed be a step down. Craftsman said.

"Now I think this Wang Laohu is also quite annoying, he is in the middle, and he is also an obstacle for us. It's not as good as ......." Hou Yin's meaning is very clear, and he wants to secretly solve the stumbling block in the process of this negotiation.

"Okay, find an archer and solve it in secret." After Jiang Pei finished speaking, he said to Wang Laohu, "If you can talk to Brother Buni and let him let Xian, we can also consider retiring from the army." But Big Brother Bunny doesn't want to let Xian, so we will fight him to the end. ”

In the stall where Jiang Pei was talking to Wang Laohu, Hou Yin asked people to pick an accurate shooter and prepare to attack Wang Laohu.

"If you have this heart, you can resolve this crisis, and I will pass on your heart to the old patriarch. Chief, I have one more word of advice, since it is a family, what can not be put on the table to say, these dead brothers today, these bloody lessons, I hope it will not happen again. Wang Laohu said.

"I kind of don't get it. Wang Gongzi, since you are an outsider, why do you have to wade into this troubled water? Craftsman said.

"Everyone's responsibility is the responsibility of the great unity of the nation. As an outsider, I care about all ethnic groups, and I hope that the leaders of Jiang Pei and Hou Yin can remember Wang's hard work and withdraw the troops as soon as possible. ”

Not far away, in the darkness, someone had already aimed at Wang Laohu, an arrow feather, a pair of eyes, staring at Wang Laohu, he wanted to kill Wang Laohu with an arrow.

"Whoosh", an arrow flew out with the sound of feathers on the arrow, as if it had grown wings, the "horn" arrow had pierced into a person's chest, and an archer of the blue Tujia soldiers and horses was shot by the arrow flying out of the village, and fell to the ground, he still held the arrow in his hand.

The arrow flew out of the village, passed a few meters to the right of Jiang Pei, Hou Yin and others, and then shot into the soldiers and horses, and steadily hit the archers.

This arrow surprised both Jiang Pei and Hou Yin at the same time.

The village is 100 meters away from his own place, and his own soldier is in the rear of the ground, and it is more than 30 meters away from here, and this person can be fired from a place more than 130 meters away from the village, which shows that this person's archery skills are not comparable to ordinary people.

This arrow also surprised Wang Laohu.

During this negotiation, an arrow was shot from the village, and Wang Laohu guessed that it was Wang Qingqing who shot this arrow, and why this arrow was shot, Wang Laohu was also very clear.

Neither Jiang Pei nor Hou Yin spoke.

"The two leaders of Jiang Pei and Hou Yin, my Wang Lao Hu is just a cheap life, and the two of you are different, so I hope you don't move, my people are too loyal to me, and sometimes they will do something out of the ordinary." Wang Laohu's words are not alarmist, judging from his archery skills just now, it is by no means as simple as an ordinary archer.

"Wang Gongzi, we don't know what happened just now, just now we decided that if the old patriarch is willing to give up the position of patriarch, we will retreat." Craftsman said.

Hou Yin also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go and convince the old patriarch. The two chiefs are waiting for my news. Wang Laohu said.

Inside the ancient village of longevity.

Wang Laohu and the old patriarch talked about the meaning of craftsman Pei and Hou Yin.

The old patriarch agreed without thinking, as for who will take over as the patriarch of Sanshan Wuzhai, according to the clan rules, before a new patriarch is elected, Buni will still serve as the old patriarch.

Wang Laohu conveyed the meaning of the old patriarch to Jiang Pei and Hou Yin. Craftsman agreed.

A crisis was resolved for the time being.

It's dawn.

The leader of Beb was not caught, and he ran away with a few of them towards the mountains.

Wanshou Ancient Village, Council Hall.

The old patriarch of Buni said: "A crisis broke out in Wanshou Ancient Village last night, and everyone saw it. Today we discuss how we will respond to this crisis next. Wang Laohu Wang Gongzi, although he is an outsider, I think he pays attention to our Tujia, so I invited him today. ”

Several leaders below discussed one after another, and one of the leaders stood up and said: "No matter what their real purpose is, now they propose to re-elect the patriarch, according to the clan rules, within three days, they will submit the candidate list of each village, and within five days, a general election will be held in Quelingtai, at that time, the ten elders of the major villages, and the five leaders will be present." ”

The leader of Aguji said: "We in Wanshou Ancient Village, we still elect the old patriarch of Buni as a candidate. ”

"Yes, yes." The leaders present agreed unanimously.
