Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Selfish Nobleman

Long Qiupeng and Xishan have been entangled with those Mengshi tribes for too long, and if they continue to ask, I am afraid that they will arouse the suspicion of the other party even more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 So he still entered the refugees with Xishan.

In normal times, if a stranger enters the clan, it will definitely attract the attention of the clansmen. But now most of the people were asleep, and although the awake people glanced at the two of them, they did not attract everyone's attention because they were covered in mud.

Long Qiupeng decided to take a risk at this time and contact the clansmen of the Shuixin tribe.

He carefully sifted through the subjects, and finally chose an old woman who was kind but had a melancholy expression.

Xishan pretended to be an ignorant teenager and beat him up and asked, "Grandma, why don't you rest so late?" ”

The moment the old woman saw Xishan, her eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, but she still smiled gently at Xishan and Long Qiupeng, and she said, "You don't look like Shui Xin's people......"

Sure enough, it was too difficult to deceive the people of the Shuixin tribe that they were companions, and Xishan was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Long Qiupeng was cool, seeing that although the old woman had seen through herself, she had no intention of exposing it at all, so he directly squatted beside the old woman and said to her: "Grandma, let's not hide it, we are also people who have been affected by the flood nearby, and we have been separated from our families, and we want to come over to try our luck when we see someone here." Are you separated from your grandson? ”

The old woman shook her head, sighed and said, "If you are separated, maybe there is still a way to live...... After speaking, she lowered her voice and said to Long Qiupeng: "If you are not from the Shuixin tribe, then go quickly." ”

Xishan looked dazed, and Long Qiupeng also pretended to be stunned, but he knew in his heart that what the old lady should be talking about was the war. Perhaps her grandson had already entered the city and become a soldier of the Montessori tribe.

It is estimated that seeing Xishan and her grandson, the old lady was also very soft-hearted, so she said: "The leader of the Mengshi tribe wants to fight the Long tribe, and the people who pulled our Shui Xin rushed to the front, saying that they have the certainty of victory, and if they can make meritorious contributions, they can be directly named nobles, and those boys are also dizzy." Not to mention the bow of the Dragon tribe, it's not good. Even without the bow, there would be no war of the undead in the world. ”

Long Qiupeng knew that the other party was talking about a crossbow, but what he was more curious about was that Shanhe knew that he had such an "artifact" as a crossbow, and he dared to say that he was sure of victory, and there must be something wrong with it.

Seeing that although the old lady was old, she was wise and intelligent, so Long Qiupeng still planned to get some words out of the old lady again.

It doesn't matter if you talk about this, this old lady turned out to be the daughter of another tribe leader, and she married into the Shuixin tribe with her relatives at that time, and her social status is actually very high. However, at that time, the position of the leader was not hereditary, and after her husband gave way, she also withdrew from the leadership core of the tribe, and she was a powerful figure like Xi.

From the old lady's mouth, Long Qiupeng learned that Shanhe's confidence came from three aspects: first, he got the Shuixin tribe, and the Mengshi tribe's combat power and labor doubled instantly; The second is the sudden flood, in the eyes of the mountains and rivers, Long Qiupeng is more than lucky; Third, and the most important point, Shanhe has installed henchmen in the Tiannu Department, and the Long tribe has not yet gained a firm foothold in Xincheng.

Although hearing this, Long Qiupeng felt that his scalp was a little numb, but such a situation was also foreseen when he planned to take various tribes to move to the new city of Tiannübu. Therefore, he preferred to have a few fewer people around him, and also sent all his military forces to the new city during the second migration.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why although Long Qiupeng has not been in the new city, the Mengshi tribe has not acted rashly until they get the power of Shui Xin.

After all, the old woman was old, and she had just passed the flood, and after chatting for a while, she was a little out of spirit. Long Qiupeng felt that it was already a surprise to be able to get this information, and he didn't dare to stay here.

The old woman wanted to go back to rest, but Long Qiupeng suddenly said to the old woman, "Grandma, come with me......"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned into a sudden color, but it soon turned into a kind of helplessness, she sighed and said: "If one day, you meet my grandson, please be merciful, his parents died early, and I only have him as a grandson." ”

Long Qiupeng knew that the old woman was old, and it would be troublesome to take her on the road, so he didn't force it anymore, and asked before leaving: "I don't know what your grandson's name is?" ”

"Wangshui ......" After the old woman finished speaking, Long Qiupeng planned to step forward to pick her up. But she shook her hand and pointed to the moon to tell him to leave quickly.

Xishan looked at Long Qiupeng hesitantly, and the latter shook his head and said, "While the night is still thick, hurry up and leave, don't help the old man's good intentions." After speaking, the two of them took advantage of people's inattention and led back into the night.

Back at the designated place, Yi has been waiting for a long time. Seeing Long Qiupeng, he hurriedly greeted him.

Long Qiupeng knew what he wanted to ask when he saw his expression, and said, "Hurry up, let's talk on the way." On the way, he briefly repeated the previous events to Yi. Yi was a little dumbfounded after listening to it.

Long Qiupeng didn't pay attention to Yi's meaning, and just muttered: "The old woman is a master, she may have guessed who I am in the end, so that I can see her grandson and spare his life." ”

Yi didn't speak, but Xishan interjected: "That's not right, if she denounces you, and then lets the people of the Montessori tribe arrest you, won't her grandson go to war." ”

Long Qiupeng listened to Xishan's words and said with a smile: "So the old woman is a master. He didn't go on, but he sighed in his heart that the old woman had thought it through.

If Long Qiupeng died, they would definitely not stand idly by. When the time comes, there will still be a fierce battle. What's more, a war that can weed out bad money is exactly what the Montessori tribe, whose population is booming, is asking for.

But no matter what the purpose is, the clansmen of the Shuixin tribe will be preferentially used as cannon fodder by the Montessori tribe, and Wangshui's chances of surviving on the battlefield will not be increased by Long Qiupeng's escape.

On the contrary, if Wangshui can survive the battlefield. If the victorious person is Shanhe, then Wangshui has the opportunity to become a nobleman, and if it is Long Qiupeng who wins, then at least it is guaranteed that Wangshui will not be treated as an ordinary prisoner of war, killed or become the lowest-level prisoner.

The old woman is not kind to Long Qiupeng, or this kind of kindness is an investment based on self-interest. But she was shrewd enough to calculate the stakes and disadvantages, so that Long Qiupeng escaped death. Long Qiupeng suddenly felt that it was also a great luck in life to meet someone who understood.
