Chapter 1155: Rules
The mighty messenger was copper-skinned and iron-clad, but after all, it couldn't withstand the sharpness of the cold blade.
Qi Ning held the cold blade and inserted it into the throat of the powerful messenger, but in an instant, he pulled out the cold blade from his throat, and put his foot in the abdomen of the strong messenger, and floated away with the force, the big knife in the other hand of the powerful messenger fell to the ground, raised his hand to cover his throat, his face was full of disbelief, the throat was poked open, and blood gushed out, even if he used the palm of the big fan to cover it, it still couldn't stop the splash of blood.
The treasure boy and Hua Xiangrong were also stunned.
They obviously couldn't have imagined that the powerful envoy who had the advantage would die at the hands of Qi Ning in this instant.
Qi Ning jumped away, gasping for breath, but his eyes were staring at the Herald like a knife.
The powerful messenger's footsteps swayed, clutching his throat, and there was an unbelievable look on his face, but the bulging eyes were staring at Qi Ning resentfully, and he actually staggered towards Qi Ning, but he only took three or four steps, stumbled under his feet, and finally fell to the ground, and when his huge body fell to the ground, he made a banging sound, and the huge body twitched a few times on the ground, and then stopped moving.
The powerful envoy, one of the six envoys of Jizo, was assassinated by Qi Ning in this way.
The archers around them didn't dare to act rashly, they watched the strong messenger choke Qi Ning's throat, and they all thought that Qi Ning would definitely die, but in the blink of an eye, it was the strong messenger who fell to the ground and died, and many people didn't see what happened clearly at all.
Hua Xiangrong only felt a chill all over his body, but instead of stepping forward, he took two steps back, the face of the treasure boy was cold, and even a little pale, and he shot several arrows at Qi Ning in a row, after Qi Ning solved the strong messenger, he naturally knew that the treasure boy and others would not give up, they had already been on guard, their body flashed, and they were already hiding behind a big tree.
He let his breathing be smoother, what happened at that moment was completely a kind of instant survival counterattack, and when he calmed down, he also felt a little incredible.
At this time, but I heard a sharp sound of bamboo flute, Hua Xiangrong and the boy holding the treasure face are a change, at first the sound of the bamboo flute only came from one direction, but soon from several places in a row came the sound of the bamboo flute, Hua Xiangrong bit his lip, and ordered: "All withdraw!" Turning around and retreating into the depths of the forest, the treasure boy looked a little unwilling, but he still waved his hand, and the group of archers under him quickly followed the treasure boy to the depths of the forest.
Qi Ning let out a sigh of relief.
He already knew the meaning of the sound of the bamboo flute, if nothing else, the changes on the side of Sun Moon Peak had been discovered by the Miao people, the sound of the bamboo flute should be a signal sent by the Miao people, there should be many Miao people who are coming to this side for reinforcements, Hua Xiangrong is obviously not in direct conflict with the Miao people, so he quickly withdrew.
Jizo's plan was obviously to seize the short time to launch a surprise attack on Qi Ning, and there was no doubt that according to the plan, the assassination of Qi Ning must be completed before the Miao reinforcements were carried out.
But the situation obviously did not go according to the design of the Jizo, Hua Xiangrong and this group of people not only did not kill Qi Ning within the established time, but were killed by Qi Ning and the powerful messenger, and now that the Miao people arrived, Hua Xiangrong and the others could only retreat.
Qi Ning didn't continue to chase, he suffered a round of attacks, his physical strength and energy were greatly consumed, and the opponent's cold arrows were difficult to prevent, so don't chase after him.
It's just a moment, Hua Xiangrong and a dry person has already walked cleanly, and it didn't take long for him to see the figure flickering again, rushing into a group of people from outside the forest, Qi Ning did not continue to hide, and now, there is no need to hide his head and tail, the group of people saw Qi Ning coming out from behind the big tree, and they were already around, Qi Ning glanced at it, and the people who came were all Miao people, compared to the treasure boy and others dressed as Miao people, this group of people is obviously the real Miao people.
The Miao people were naturally surprised to see the corpses everywhere on the ground, and they were also shocked to see the huge body of the powerful messenger lying on the ground, and some of the Miao people held knives and bows, surrounding Qi Ning in the middle, and one of them asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, you dare to trespass on the forbidden land?" ”
"Put down your weapons!" Someone saw Qi Ning holding a cold blade and shouted: "Don't throw away the weapon yet!" ”
Qi Ning put away the cold blade, raised his hands, and said loudly: "We are friends and not enemies, where is the Great Miao King?" ”
"Who the hell are you, why do you want to see our Great Miao King?" Someone shouted: "If you trespass on the forbidden land, we will put you to death!" ”
"When I saw the King of the Great Miao, I killed or killed, and let the King of the Great Miao fall or fall." Qi Ning said loudly: "You send someone to tell King Da Miao that Qi Ning asks to see him!" ”
Someone in the crowd was a little surprised and said, "Qi Ning? Which Zining? A person walked over to Qi Ning, Qi Ning saw that the man was slender and long, and his appearance was quite familiar, but the man was also staring at Qi Ning, Qi Ning took off the hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Are you a white-toothed man?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice: "Yes..... Brocade waiting? ”
The person in front of him is none other than Bai Yali, one of the six leading people in Cangxi Miao Village.
White Fang Li has a lot of prestige in Cangxi Miao Village, when the King of Miao was killed, the Dandu bone brothers competed, the situation was critical, it was Bai Yali who stepped forward, and suggested that the Miao family witch preside over justice, this person is calm and abnormal, and knows right and wrong, Qi Ning saw that it was this person, his heart was slightly wide, and he saluted according to the etiquette of the Miao people, and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the head of the White Fang Force has always been good?" ”
White Fang Li was stunned, then glanced at the corpses around him, and frowned, "Why did Master Hou appear here?" These people ..... Who are they? ”
"I got the news that someone wants to harm the big witch, so I made a special trip to report it." Qi Ning knew that at this time, he couldn't tell the truth to Bai Pressure: "I don't want to be attacked by this group of people halfway up the mountain before I see Dawu." ”
"Someone is trying to kill the Great Witch?" White Fang was surprised, "Who are they?" ”
Qi Ning sighed: "It's a long story, the white-toothed power head, can you let me see the Great Miao King first?" By the way, I came this time with a few retinues, and they were waiting at the foot of the mountain, I don't know .....? ”
"There's also a fight at the foot of the mountain." Bai Fang said: "There were dead people on both sides, when we arrived, many people ran away, I have sent people to chase after them, but I have arrested three people, they pretended to be Miao people, asked who they were, they didn't speak, I don't know if it's your people." ”
Qi Ning frowned, thinking that Qi Feng's side was also attacked, and it seemed that Jizang not only wanted to take his own life, but also the entourage that followed him, and they would also kill him quickly.
Qi Ning said: "Please also ask the head of the White Fang Force to take me to see if it is my person?" ”
"Master Hou, do you know that Sun Moon Peak is the place where our Miao family's great witches live." Bai Yali didn't pay attention to Qi Ning's request, and his face was solemn: "The rules of the Miao family, without the permission of the Great Witch, anyone who trespasses on the forbidden land will be severely punished. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Serious punishment? Does the bald man mean that I came to report the wrong? ”
"If someone really intends to harm the Great Witch, Master Hou can discuss with the Great Miao King first, and we will naturally strengthen the protection of the Great Witch." Bai Yali said: "Now that King Da Miao and we don't know anything, Hou Ye and your subordinates have appeared in Sun Moon Peak, not only that, there are corpses everywhere here, who is right and wrong, I'm afraid it's not easy to tell." ”
Qi Ning was annoyed in his heart, but he knew that it was not appropriate to have a direct conflict with the Miao people at this time, and said: "When you see the Great Miao King, you can always tell right and wrong clearly. ”
"Sun Moon Peak has already assigned people to round up." Bai Fang said: "No matter who you are, if you enter Xishan, it is not so easy to get out. Hou Ye wants to see King Da Miao, that is a matter of course, we dare not be disrespectful to Hou Ye, after seeing King Da Miao, and then King Da Miao will ask Da Wu how to deal with this matter. He raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, I can take you to see King Da Miao now, but.... I can only be disrespectful to you first, and I will be more offended. ”
"Offended?"
"You trespass on Sun Moon Peak, we can only tie you up before the Great Witch falls." Bai Ya said: "Although there is a lot of disrespect, but this is a rule that our Miao people have passed down from generation to generation, and we dare not destroy it because of the identity of Hou Ye, and I ask Hou Ye to bear with me." With a wave of his hand, several Miao family men had already stepped forward with rattan ropes, and they really wanted to tie up Qi Ning.
Qi Ning's face suddenly became difficult to look at.
"White-headed man, you seem to have forgotten that I am an official of the imperial court." Qi Ning's voice was slightly cold: "Xichuan is the territory of Great Chu, whether it is the Han family or the Miao family, they are all the people of Great Chu, I was ordered by the imperial court to come to Xichuan to temporarily take charge of Xichuan affairs, even if it is the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, then you have to obey my orders, you now order me to be kidnapped, but I don't know where to put the imperial court?" ”
Qi Ning knew that the seventy-two caves of the Miao family had not yet fully formed a sense of belonging to Da Chu, and to make the seventy-two caves of the Miao family completely surrender, it was necessary to give favors, but also to deter them, and only by combining grace and power could they truly surrender.
Although he came to Sun Moon Peak without reporting, it seems that he has indeed broken the rules of the Miao family in principle, but if he is a dignified imperial lord, if he really lets them tie up to see the king of Da Miao, once it spreads at this time, it will inevitably make the court lose face, and even make many Miao family members feel disdainful, this is not just a matter of their own personal face, but about the prestige of the imperial court.
Bai Yali's face was also a little ugly, but the Miao people around him were eyeing each other, and they did not show awe because of Qi Ning's identity.
Qi Ning tidied up his clothes, put his hat back on, and said lightly: "I'm going to see King Da Miao like this now, if you really want to tie me up, you can come up and give it a try?" ”
Bai Yali held the knife in one hand and clenched the other into a fist, and said solemnly: "Master Hou is deliberately making things difficult for me." ”
"Don't be embarrassed." Qi Ning said: "I suddenly changed my mind now, I don't want to see the king of the Miao, I want to go up the mountain, go directly to see the Miao family's witch, since this is the residence of the Miao family's witch, I broke the rules, how to punish it, I asked the Miao family directly is." He waved his hand and said, "Stand down, all of you!" ”
