Chapter 5: The Contest of the Wise

When the scarred man walked to the center of the small village with the group, he was stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him.

In the small square in front of me, there were several tables of banquets, and the tables were full of various dishes, and a jar of fine wine was placed on the table.

On the table at the top sat a young man and a few big men, and the faces of the big men were ruddy, up to the root of their ears, lying on the table without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Seeing this scene, the scarred man was furious, but he looked at the young man again, his eyes sank, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The king doesn't need to be angry, they're fine, they're just drunk, and I'm just the youngest son of the head of our nomadic village, isn't this here to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the king."

The young man stood up and smiled slightly.

The big man with the scar looked at the young man with some disbelief, then looked at his three drunken subordinates, and suddenly ordered one behind him: "You go and see their situation for me, remember, be careful." ”

The man bowed his hand to the scarred man, turned over and dismounted, and came to the side of several drunk men in a few steps, but the young man did not speak, and took the initiative to take a few steps back and give up his position.

The man patted a few big men, but seeing that they didn't move, he turned over a few big men and carefully checked them a few times, but he didn't find anything wrong.

These people all looked drunk, with saliva on their lips, and they were shouting to drink, which was clearly drunk.

"No problems were found, no wounds, it seemed like I was really drunk." The man replied to the Scarred Man.

The young man sneered in his heart, a trace amount of drugs and a few catties of spirits, you can find the problem is strange.

Who is this young man? Naturally, it was Ye Xingyu.

"Is the thing ready, I don't have time to ink with you, but don't try to fool me, otherwise watch out for your head!" The scarred man shouted at Ye Xingyu, and wiped the big knife in his hand as he spoke, his eyes shining with coldness.

"Look, my lord, isn't this thing ready?" Ye Xingyu smiled and pointed to a flat-headed small thatched hut not far away.

The scarred man looked at Ye Xingyu's line of sight, and sure enough, there were some villagers there who were carrying out the burlap bags one by one, and the occasional grains that fell out proved that this should be grain.

The scar man nodded slightly.

And Ye Xingyu said to the scar man: "However, the preparation of these things still takes some time, the king might as well sit down and eat something first, how about a while, these are the special dishes of our village, I believe it will be to your taste." ”

"Oh? Is it? Scarface stared at Ye Xingyu's eyes and said coldly.

Ye Xingyu's expression did not move, but he approached the scar man and said softly: "In addition, I already know where the scroll that the king wants, but I just need the king to give me a little more time." ”

Hearing this, the scarred man's eyes lit up, he valued this scroll more than the food tax. This is the main purpose of his trip.

There is a well-known legend in the Wind Howling Grassland, a thousand years ago there was a demon who liked to suck human blood, the strength of the demon was unrivaled in the world, the first master of the Wind Howling Grassland Kui Wolf King had a battle with him a thousand years ago, but the result was defeated and fled within three moves.

And then, it seems that for some unknown reason, this demon suddenly left the Wind Howling Grassland and disappeared.

However, I don't know where to spread the news that the demon had left a scroll before leaving, and those who got it would have eternal life.

He had traveled most of the grassland for this scroll, and finally found a clue here, and the scroll was most likely in this small village.

Dahan's eyes began to heat up a little, but he was not a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly calmed down his excitement.

The scar man looked at the table full of wine and food, although he was also a little tempted, but he didn't move his chopsticks immediately. With another wave of his hand, he asked a few of his subordinates to step forward, and took out the silver needles to test the poison one by one.

But his eyes were staring at Ye Xingyu's movements, as soon as there was something wrong with the other party, he would immediately act without mercy.

Ye Xingyu shrugged his shoulders and looked unconcerned.

"There doesn't seem to be a problem." A few people came back and said.

The scar man is still a little surprised, is it really no problem? Looking at the fragrant food, he didn't know whether to eat it or not.

Ye Xingyu seemed to see his concerns, clapped his hands, and suddenly two young men in coarse cloth clothes walked out from the side and nodded slightly to them.

The two of them understood, and each picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table and began to taste it. After the tasting, the two of them reluctantly retreated, this is a good dish made by gathering the financial resources of the entire village, and it may not be able to eat it once in a year.

Seeing this, the scar man finally put his mind at ease, exhaled deeply, and laughed: "Brothers, everyone let go of eating today, and they have worked hard with me all these years, and after finishing this vote, everyone can follow me to eat and drink spicy food." ”

When the rest of the horse thieves heard this, they were also very excited, and they looked at the wine and food on the table and gobbled up chopsticks.

Ye Xingyu also laughed when he saw this, and said to everyone: "We have also prepared some entertainment programs, can the king watch them?" ”

"Oh? What program? The scar man asked curiously.

Ye Xingyu clapped his hands, and then walked out of the house with several strangely dressed people, some of them were extremely ugly, some were funny, and some had serious faces.

When these people appeared, they performed acrobatics on the sidelines. On the other side, there were several big men holding gongs and drums, and the atmosphere in the banquet became lively for a while.

"Boom, boom, boom." While everyone was watching with relish, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded out of place.

The scarred man was furious when he saw his subordinates who suddenly broke in: "What are you doing when you come in, didn't I let you guard outside?" ”

"Didn't you say you would come in if you heard a fight?" The big man at the head scratched his head and said.

"Is this the sound of a fight? Get out of here and keep guard! The scar man felt a little unbearable on his face, and said angrily.

The dozen or so horse thieves had no choice but to quickly say yes and retreat.

"Could it be that the king still can't trust us?" Ye Xingyu looked at the scar man with a smile and said.

"Of course not, but I don't know when my brother will get the scroll, so I'm in a bit of a hurry." The scar man just smiled and changed the topic and said.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to pick up something, just wait another five or six minutes." Ye Xingyu snorted.

"That's good, that's good!" And the scar man was also very happy when he heard this, and stuffed the wine and food into his mouth in a big gulp.

Ye Xingyu looked at the time, 5 minutes, and it was almost time for the drug to take effect.

After another five or six minutes, the scar man saw that no one had sent the scroll over, so he planned to ask Ye Xingyu about the situation again.

But at this moment, I only heard "Bang!" One of the Scarred Man's men fell to the ground holding his stomach and wailed in pain.

Then, as if there was a chain reaction, the other men also fell in unison.

"Mother's Hippie! This dish is poisonous! The scarred man shouted as he looked at the wine and his teeth cracked. However, just as he stood up and wanted to settle accounts with Ye Xingyu, he suddenly felt a burst of abdominal pain in his stomach, and his head was a little dizzy.

"How dare you calculate me!" The scar man stared at Ye Xingyu angrily and shouted.

Ye Xingyu didn't speak, just smiled. Compared to other horse thieves, this boss really has some ability, and he can actually stand and talk to himself.

The big man with the scar looked at the little brother who fell all over the ground, and suddenly became angry, since he became a horse thief, he is the only one who bullies and calculates others, how can anyone dare to calculate him?

Thinking of this, he overturned the table, spilled wine and food all over the floor, and when he looked up, he was about to raise his head to the sky and drink.

However, Ye Xingyu was one step ahead of him, and smashed the cup in his hand one step at a time.

Then, the sound of gongs and drums around was three points louder, and at the same time, strong men with knives and bows in their hands also rushed out of the surrounding houses, looking at the scar man and the others with fierce eyes.

At this time, the scarred man's shouting was worthy of his mouth, but compared to the earth-shattering gongs and drums, his voice was instantly drowned out, as if a mud cow had entered the sea.

At the entrance of the village, a few horse thieves walked back and forth sullenly.

"There's movement again!" A horse thief said suddenly.

"That's definitely the eldest brother having fun again, only caring about himself all day long, not considering the feelings of our brothers at all, what future can we have with such a big brother." Another horse thief complained.

As soon as they heard this, several other people also had their own thoughts.

"Hahahaha, it's really a good calculation, first use the empty city plan to disperse my power, and then let my people mutiny to lead me into the city, and then cover up my pleas for help with gongs and drums, and then wait for the opportunity to drugged in the wine and food.

What a calculation! It's just that the only thing I don't understand is, how and when did you get the medicine? The big man with scar first glanced at the tall thin man behind Ye Xingyu, and then stared at Ye Xingyu and asked.

The tall thin man behind Ye Xingyu saw the big man with the scar looking at him, and he "chuckled" in his heart, and fell to his knees in horror.

While kowtowing, he said, "Boss, it's no wonder that I'm not guilty, they gave me poison, if I don't listen to them, I'll die." ”

"Well, you don't need to know."

"However, I can tell you that the poison in you will gradually paralyze your brain and corrode your internal organs, and you will definitely die this time." Ye Xingyu said with a smile to the scar man.

Then he stopped talking to him, and with a wave of his hand, the villagers with knives and sticks rushed to these bandits who had long been hated by them.
