Liu Xin suddenly realized: "You mean Hou Qinu? Gee, how did I forget about him, ask him. ”

Zhu Rong pouted at Feng Lie and said, "You are his full-time translator, you should ask about this matter." ”

Feng Lie just wanted to refute, but when he looked up, he saw that Liu Xin's face seemed to be a little displeased, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and walked towards Hou Qinu stupidly, secretly planning in his heart, it seems that he must teach this foolish Chinese as soon as possible, otherwise he will never have a bright future.

When Hou Qinu saw Feng Lie walking towards him, and learned that Liu Xin asked him to ask him, he immediately became respectful and answered all questions. Feng Lie listened to Hou Qinu's answer, his face was full of joy, obviously he had found the answer. It's just that in the end, Hou Qinu looked sad again, as if he was begging Feng Lie for something.

It turned out that Hou Qinu was in the company of apes in the deep mountains, and once he strayed into a trap, was caught by Mulu's people, and sacrificed Mulu as a slave. Seeing that he was strong and flexible like an ape, Mulu liked him very much, and gave him food and clothing, and sent people to teach him to speak, which was also kind to him. He was begging Feng Lie just now not to hurt his old master, Mulu.

As for whether Mulu can use the demon law, Hou Qinu is not clear. However, there was one thing that surprised Liu Xin very much, it was not Mulu who could really drive the beast, but this Hou abandoned slave.

Hou Qinu is not only infinitely powerful and running like flying, but also because he grew up in a group of apes since he was a child, he is familiar with the habits of various fierce beasts, is good at imitating their calls, and has developed a special ability to drive tigers, leopards and jackals. The Mulu clan lives in the mountains, hunting is an important means for them to survive, Hou Qinu was taken in by Mulu, and also participated in several hunts, and his ability to do so gradually revealed. When Mulu learned about it, he asked Hou Qinu to domesticate a group of fierce beasts for their entertainment and play, just like modern people keep pets.

When Liu Xin looked at Hou Qinu, he no longer regarded him as a hun person, but as a treasure. For this era, especially in some remote areas, where forests are dense and wild beasts are rampant, Hou Qinu, who has mastered the skills of driving fierce beasts, has become a rare talent.

What's even more rare is that Hou Qinu has reincarnated Liu Xin as the god of wind and is willing to be his slave for life, but he still remembers the grace of the old master.

Liu Xin nodded and said, "Hou Qinu, I promise you that I will never harm Mulu's life until the last resort." ”

Hou Qinu listened to Feng Lie's translation, nodded again and again, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

At this time, Wen Ping walked in and said, "Lord Qiqi, those rattan armor soldiers have all been taken into custody, and those who were stabbed on their feet have been properly treated, how to deal with them, please make it public." ”

Liu Xin muttered: "The rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable, and it is really difficult to deal with them unless they attack with fire. If a large number of rattan armor soldiers come, we can only feign to be invincible, introduce them into the valley, set up an ambush, and set fire to them. Hou Qinu, do you know the details of the vine armor soldiers? ”

Feng Lie, the translator, was very competent, and he was busy telling Hou Qinu about Liu Xin's question. Hou Qinu shook his head again and again, and said, "These vine armor soldiers are the subordinates of the vulture bone patriarch, and even Mulu didn't know about the existence of such a team before. However, the vulture bone patriarch has been captured by his master, and if the master wants to know the situation, he will be escorted over and asked. ”

Liu Xin was taken aback, he knew the person of the vulture bone, and it was said that he was twelve feet tall, and his whole body was covered with scale armor, and he was invulnerable. Not to mention anything else, the height of this twelve-foot alone, converted into today's length unit, should be about two meters eighty-eight, more than one meter taller than Liu Xin. Although there were a few tall soldiers among the rattan armor soldiers caught today, they were at most eight or nine feet tall, so Liu Xin didn't expect that the vulture bone himself was actually among them. Moreover, most of these rattan armor soldiers were stabbed in their feet and could not stand or walk, Liu Xin was busy arranging for military medical treatment, and he had not had time to interrogate, so it was understandable that he did not know that the vultures were inside.

Seeing that Liu Xin had a tense face and did not speak, Hou Qinu bent his waist deeply, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, the master is willing to identify him." ”

Although they are both barbarians, Hou Qinu is different from Zhu Rong. The Zhu family is regarded as the descendant of the god of fire, and Zhu Rong is also considered to be the descendant of the god of fire, the god of fire is the patron saint of the entire barbarian race, and Zhu Rong naturally has the mission of protecting the barbarian people. In Hou Qinu's eyes, now only Liu Xin is his master, even for the old master Mulu, Hou Qinu only asks Liu Xin to be merciful, if Liu Xin must take Mulu's life, then Hou Qinu will not hesitate to kill the killer, not to mention the vulture bones that do not belong to the same tribe as him. Since Liu Xin wanted to find the vulture bones, Hou Qinu would of course mercilessly pull him out of a group of captives.

Liu Xin was still quite jealous of the rattan armor soldiers, and when he heard that the vulture bone had actually become his captive, and Hou Qinu could still find him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Come on, quickly take Hou Qinu to catch the vulture bone and come to see me." ”

Watching Hou Qinu leave in a hurry, Wen Ping waved his hand behind him, and a soldier had already brought over a set of rattan armor. Wen Ping casually took out the saber on the soldier's waist, and chopped it down according to the rattan armor, there was a muffled sound of "bang", the soldier's body shook, but the rattan armor held in his hand was not broken in two.

Wen Ping dropped the knife, took the rattan armor from the soldier's hand and held it in front of Liu Xin and said: "Lord, please see, this rattan armor is really good, the knife used by the last general just now is extremely sharp, even if the ordinary iron armor and leather armor can be easily split, cutting on this rattan armor actually only makes its surface slightly cracked." ”

Liu Xin took the rattan armor from Wen Ping's hand, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he only saw a shallow knife mark on the surface, and not even a single rattan was broken.

You must know that these soldiers belong to the regular army, and their sabers have all been replaced with the latest swords. This kind of sword is both sharp and tough, and it is a weapon for the Han army to win when they are in close combat, and if even this kind of knife cannot cut the rattan armor, the problem is serious.

Liu Xin pondered for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Bring the knife and I'll try it." ”

A soldier had already respectfully handed over a saber, and Liu Xin took it, the blade flashed with cold light, and it was really sharp. Liu Xin seemed to throw the rattan armor into the air very casually, and waved the saber in his hand without looking, only to see a flash of knife light, and the rattan armor shattered into several pieces in mid-air and scattered all over the ground. Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the entire tent was suddenly silent.

In the eyes of Liu Xin's subordinates, his martial arts can stand alone in the world, in fact, only Liu Xin himself understands that his attainments in weapons are probably not as good as an ordinary soldier. Liu Xin usually used only a few flying knives, and it wasn't until he got a scroll of halberd from Yan Rui that he practiced the Fang Tian painting halberd in earnest. However, after all, the scroll halberd method was written on bamboo slips, the conditions were limited, the pattern was blurred, and the text was obscure, and Liu Xin couldn't take this scroll of halberd to ask Dian Zhong and others for advice in order to maintain his sense of mystery in front of his subordinates, so the progress was not fast.

Later, Liu Xin combined the internal boxing method he had learned and figured out a set of methods for applying internal strength to the blade. Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken, after Liu Xin uses his internal strength, the weapon is unleashed and the moves are plain, and sometimes it even seems that there are no moves at all, but the force is great and the speed is extremely fast. When he was swinging the knife just now, he tried this method, and in the blink of an eye, he slashed seven or eight times in a row, and sure enough, he easily split the rattan armor into pieces.

But Liu Xin's method is not used by others. Liu Xin's inner boxing has gone through two worlds, and he has practiced for more than 20 years, and when he crosses, his body is likely to have some subtle changes, and the progress will be so rapid, even if others practice for 20 years from now, they may not be able to achieve such an effect as him.

In the eyes of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, Liu Xin was originally different from others, so when they saw that Liu Xin was able to easily split the rattan armor, they were surprised and did not have much joy. Because they all know very well that Liu Xin can split the rattan armor, it does not mean that others can also split the rattan armor. Maybe Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also have this ability, but most soldiers will definitely not reach this level.

Liu Xin slowly put down the knife in his hand, looked at the fragments of rattan armor all over the ground and silently came back to his senses, thinking to himself, no matter what, he must try to completely eliminate the threat of rattan armor. From the current point of view, the only tribe that can make rattan armor is vultures, and there are only two options to eliminate the threat of vine armor.

The first option is for the tribe of vulture bones to voluntarily give up and continue to make rattan armor, but in the absence of other armor to replace it, and they have already tasted the sweetness of rattan armor, it seems unrealistic for them to voluntarily give up.

The second option is a bit cruel, and that is to get rid of all the people who know how to make rattan armor. However, judging from the fact that three thousand rattan armor soldiers appeared all of a sudden, I am afraid that there are not a few people who can make rattan armor in this tribe, and it is not easy to get rid of them all, unless the entire tribe is wiped out!

Thinking of killing all the people of a tribe, regardless of men, women, and children, Liu Xin himself shuddered, this is an outright act of genocide, and it is indeed a little difficult for Liu Xin from later generations to make such a choice. Historically, after Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers, the production of rattan armor was lost, and it can be inferred from this point that Zhuge Liang made the second choice at that time.

Faced with these two choices, Liu Xin was ruthless several times, but it was difficult to make a decision. Suddenly, Hou Qinu said loudly: "Dear master, the slave and maid have brought the vulture bones, please send them down." ”

Liu Xin raised his eyes and saw two soldiers carrying a stretcher, on which lay a big man, his face was hideous, his eyes were fierce, his arms were tied behind him, his feet were wrapped with strips of cloth, and stains of blood could still be seen on the strips of cloth. Liu Xin stared at him twice, and suddenly said, "Come on, strip off his clothes!" ”
