[ps: Every day, I see the authors in the author group showing off that they have alliance leaders, and I even have disciples, so sad]

After two more days, Huang Deying, who had been in the mountain for more than ten days, finally appeared in the barracks again.

As soon as he saw Huang Deying's fierce face, Fan Jinyan asked eagerly, "How?" Can the Eighteen Villages accept the sincerity of this general? ”

"Yes, General." It's good that Huang Deying doesn't laugh, but when he laughs, it's even more terrifying, "The general is merciful, and the elders of the Li clan are grateful to the general, and they specially asked the villain to bring their gratitude." ”

However, immediately after, he poured a basin of cold water on Fan Jinyan, "They also knew the general's intentions, saying that Qin Yuan was not only their friend, but also the messenger of the mountain ghosts, they would not betray their friends, and they would not dare to annoy the gods." ”

The mountain ghost is one of the gods believed in by the Li people, and the Li people of the eighteen villages also carved a huge mountain ghost statue on the stone wall of the deep mountain, which is used for sacrifice and worship.

And Qin Yuan happened to appear at the sacrificial ceremony on that day, and was considered by the Shengli people in the mountains to be the mountain ghost apparition and sent a messenger to them.

Sudden appearance?

Is it also a traverser?

But looking at Huang Deying's expression, Fan Jinyan also understands that even he has heard of it for the first time! It seems that he is also in awe of this Qin Yuan, and every time his name is mentioned, his eyes are always full of respect.

Fan Jinyan didn't believe that he was sent by the mountain ghosts, but the people were ignorant and afraid of the gods so they mistook him for a messenger of the gods.

But even the Li people outside the mountain have such an attitude towards him, so how can he be brought to justice?

Suddenly, Fan Jinyan made another difficulty, he couldn't send someone to assassinate him, right?

Fan Jinyan is not a racist, and he will not serve hundreds of thousands of Li people because of a mouse droppings.

But there is a traverser who is always wreaking havoc on his own territory, and he can't be comfortable.

Fortunately, there is always a way to solve the problem, and Huang Deying expressed Qin Yuan's intention to meet him.

Although Qin Yuan is a messenger of the gods in the minds of the Li people, it is only for their tribe, and it is indeed a little difficult to ask the ruler of Qiongzhou Island to meet him.

Sure enough, Fan Jinyan didn't say anything, Tang Fei, who was on the side, immediately turned his face, thinking, these guys really have to inch in, don't be ashamed, right, "Presumptuous, I want the dignified General Qiongzhou to meet a little thief, I think he is tired of life." ”

After speaking, he hugged his fists to Fan Jinyan and said: "The general must not be in danger, it is a big deal to take 100,000 soldiers and civilians into the mountains and drive these Diao people out of the mountains all the way." Without the mountains and forests to rely on, it is easy to destroy them. ”

What Tang Fei said is not a bad way, but the method is stupid, it is also time-consuming and laborious, and the consumption of 100,000 soldiers and civilians alone is not something that Fan Jinyan can afford now. At the same time, it also completely intensified the contradiction between the two ethnic groups, and in the next few years, Fan Jinyan didn't want to do anything, and honestly stayed in Qiongdao and the more than 50,000 Li people in Eighteen Villages to slowly Zhou Xuan!

Regarding Tang Fei's words, Fan Jinyan only said three words that were not desirable and then stopped speaking.

When he guessed that the other party might be a traverser, Fan Jinyan had the idea of going to see him in person.

Who won't brag about it, as long as you go down the mountain honestly, no matter what the conditions, you will agree to it first, and when you get to the bottom of the mountain, you will know who is the real king of Qiongzhou.

In the end, Fan Jinyan still strongly suppressed the opposition of the generals and decided to go to meet this guy named Qin Yuan in person.

The compromised generals demanded at least a few hundred people for safety, but Fan Jinyan refused. Hundreds of people not only don't make a difference, but they also seem to be timid and afraid of death, which will only make people laugh.

In the end, Fan Jinyan expressed his sincerity and decided to bring only one personal soldier and Huang Deying into the mountain.

The generals who had no choice but to take Fan Jinyan could only work the only pro-soldier who protected Fan Jinyan. A lot of all kinds of bizarre self-defense weapons have been prepared, and a lot of explosives alone have been tied, asking him to hold Qin Yuan hostage at a critical moment and use him as a hostage, so as to ensure the safety of the general.

In fact, there is no need for the generals to worry about it, Fan Jinyan has already used the time to make dozens of slender cylindrical explosive tubes out of oiled paper, put them in a row and tie them with ropes, and make them into explosive belts that are just tied around his waist.

After all, no one wants to die, and Fan Jinyan doesn't want to die even more, in case this Qin Yuan is not a good stubble, he can only use this to hold him hostage

If you want to visit the mountains, you can't always be empty-handed, and it is too tacky to give money, so Fan Jinyan asked people to prepare some good brocade cloth and daily necessities, which are both practical and not tacky. Of course, when these things were pushed to the mountain pass by a few soldiers in a cart, the rest of the way could only be carried by Huang Deying and his own soldiers, after all, Fan Jinyan's current identity is really not suitable for doing it himself, which is a joke.

Along the way, Fan Jinyan enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way, and at the same time, Huang Deying inquired about the customs and habits of the Li people and some of the situation of the Eighteen Villages of Shengli.

Shengli Eighteen Villages, also known as the Eighteen Clans of the Li People in the Mountains and Forests, is actually eighteen surnames that are each set up in each village, distributed in all corners of the vast mountains.

One of the largest branches is surnamed Li, which is also called the royal family by the Li people, but the surname Li, like other surnames, is also divided into two branches. Because the Li tribe outside the mountain has always been friendly with the imperial court, it was canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang as the Li Tusi during the Hongwu period, and led all the Li tribes. Over time, no one in the mountains knew about this tribe surnamed Li.

But the Li people themselves are clear, especially the Shengli people directly serve the Li surname in the mountains as the king, and ignore the orders of the Li surnamed Tusi outside the mountain. This is also the reason why Shengli and Shuli are really opposed. In fact, what is fighting for is just a name.

Although the population of the Shuli people is more than three times that of the Shengli people, because they have had more contact with the Han people for hundreds of years, they have long been sinicized and become the obedient people of the imperial court.

Fan Jinyan was suddenly helpless, this Shengli people are really unruly, Han people, Shuli are all offended, and they are still awesome, and they are not afraid of one day messing with outsiders, and they will go into the mountains to play with them.

At this time, sharp arrows suddenly flew towards them in front of them, and with a "boom", they were inserted into a tree trunk next to Fan Jinyan, and in an instant, only the arrow feathers were still exposed and they kept trembling.
