Chapter 22: A Snowy Night
As night fell, the day's jousting finally came to an end
After the battle between Hu Zhengluan and Owen ended, the smashed floor was replaced, and another competition was held in the afternoon: Zhi Zhigu was against Che Yaruo
The battle between the heads of the two clans should be very exciting, but at the beginning of the battle, everyone was shocked, not so much a contest as a one-sided torture
Zhi Zhigu was like going crazy, he took a violent storm, and Che Yaruo was holding a heavy black iron saber, but he couldn't resist the frantic spurt of Zhi Zhi Gudu's ordinary wooden-handled spear, and after a few rounds, Che Yaruo was already full of wounds
The final outcome of the battle between his brother and Owen in the morning made Zhi Zhi extremely angry, and he desperately needed someone to vent to, but unfortunately Che Yaruo became a victim of his anger
Although Che Yaruo had fallen to the ground and could not fight anymore, Zhi Zhigu did not let him go at all, completely ignoring the call of the Xiu Tu clan below to renounce the people, and ignoring the order to stop the competition, Zhi Zhigu brutally tortured and killed the head of another clan equal to him until he broke the bones of the other party's body, and he only broke Che Yaruo's neck
The furious Zhi Zhi did not care about the possibility of starting a war between the Anta and the Hutu tribe, and his bloody measures were not only to vent his anger against Owen, but also to show everyone that he was invincible and powerful, and he told all his male compatriots with his actions: Anyone who is an enemy of my Zhi Zhi will not end well
However, Owen, who was most hated by Zhizhi, did not appear near the ring, and he did not seem to bother to understand how the enemy fought, and Owen locked himself up in a single tent prepared for him all afternoon to deal with the wound on his left hand
The night shrouded the land of the Syllician plain, snowflakes fell, and the entire military camp was slowly covered in the white night, and in the large wooden cage next to the ring, the people who were imprisoned were exposed to the wind and snow without shelter, except for the strongest Thunder, everyone else was shivering with cold, and could only gather together to keep warm
After two days and two nights in a coma, Leonard, who was seriously injured, woke up, but his body was very weak, and although Sophia had used magic to stabilize his injuries, under such severe cold, if he did not receive timely treatment, I am afraid that the stronger knight would not be able to hold on
At that moment, everyone suddenly heard the barbarian guards around the cage making a loud noise, and they realized that the guards were arguing with a person, and that person was Owen
Warrior Owen, you can't come near here, those guards politely stopped Owen in the morning, Owen's appearance in the ring won him respect among the barbarians, these guards were all Tamon who had a holiday with the Anta, so they did not brutally expel Owen
Guys, I just wanted to meet my friend Owen and politely made the request
No, there is an order for your majesty alone, these people are sacrifices to the eagle father and wolf mother, and no one is allowed to approach you, and you are no exception
It's freezing, can I send them some spirits to keep them warm?
This is not to be done, and Shan Yu's order cannot be disobeyed
Don't embarrass us
......
While Owen was arguing with the guards, Sophia suddenly heard a few faint whistles from the other side of the cage, and she looked over there only to see a tall barbarian soldier standing next to the cage
The soldier pushed the buckskin hat from his head slightly upwards to reveal half of his face that was hidden under the hat
Ah Joe...... Sophia was about to call out this person's name in surprise, but the other party stretched out her index finger and put it on her lips to signal Sophia not to make a noise, she quickly covered her mouth and nodded to the other party
Joika bounced a small object onto the cage and quickly disappeared into the shadows
Well, in that case, I won't embarrass you, big brothers, and at the same time, Owen also stopped pestering with the guards and turned to leave
By the faint glow of the torches around her, Sophia quietly picked up the object that Joyka had given her—a small stone that could be found everywhere in the plains of Slancia, and someone had carved a word into the stone with a sharp weapon: patience
There were not many people walking around in the barracks, Ou Wenming knew that there was someone secretly watching behind him, but he didn't care, he walked back to his small tent openly, and before he could open the curtain of the tent, Owen felt that there was someone inside, he smiled slightly and strode inside
As soon as he entered the tent, in the darkness, a scimitar slashed at his neck, Owen turned around and dodged, his right foot stepped forward, reached out to grab the wrist of the knife holder, and the other party seemed to have noticed it, and immediately flipped the blade and slashed at Owen's right hand, he did not withdraw his hand, but cocked two fingers and flicked it lightly on the surface of the knife
Airplanes...... The scimitar shook for a moment, and the sneak attacker clearly didn't expect Owen to be stunned for a moment
At this time, Owen had already seen that the sneak attacker's martial arts were not high, and he had no actual combat experience, so he took advantage of the moment when the opponent was stunned, stepped forward with his left foot, and hit the sneak attacker's body with his left shoulder
Owen felt the slump of his left shoulder, and then he heard a woman's delicate snort
After receiving Owen's blow, his opponent rolled back two times in a row and retreated to the other side of the tent
It's so late, Princess Tantan, what are you looking for me, Owen unhurriedly lit the fire plate in the middle of the tent
Against the backdrop of the firelight, Tan Tan held a scimitar in one hand and covered his right chest with the other, his face was flushed and angry, and it was obvious that Owen's attack just now had hit an unbelievable part
Bastard, I'm going to chop off your hand, Tan Tan scolded and raised his knife to Owen, and was attacked by a strange man on the chest, which is the most embarrassing thing for every unmarried girl, so Tan Tan's behavior is completely understandable
However, Tan Tan slashed a few times, but he couldn't hurt Owen for half a point, in Owen's eyes, Tan Tan's knife skills were too young, he retreated again and again, and no counterattack was the biggest concession, but Tan Tan didn't appreciate it, and the scimitar was pressing inch by inch
Suddenly, Owen shouted, Tan Tan was stunned for a moment, Owen took the opportunity to bully forward, and snatched the scimitar from Tan Tan's hand
Okay, Princess Tantan, you can explain that Owen reversed the handle of the knife and handed the scimitar back to Tantan
Hmph, Tantan took the scimitar, but his anger did not subside, and he said angrily, I asked you, what is the relationship between you and my fourth brother, why do you want to imitate him
Imitating this statement, Owen shook his head
You...... Tan Tan turned around and stomped hard for a long time before she spoke, quickly tell me what the fourth brother died, is it those guys who are Zhizhi bones......
Tan Tan ...... Owen put one hand on Tan Tan's shoulder, and the girl's whole body shook, and the words that she hadn't yet said were interrupted
Some things can't be said casually, your fourth brother is a real warrior, and it is enough to know this
What do you mean by this, tell me the truth, Tan Tan shouted to Owen anxiously, otherwise...... Otherwise I'll kill you said raising the scimitar in your hand
For Tan Tan's naïve threat, Owen disagreed, and smiled faintly: Princess Tan Tan, please go back, someone is here to pick you up
At this moment, there was a faint sound outside the tent from Tan Tan and Princess Tan Tan...... Where are you...... The shouts
Ukrainian Tan Tan immediately recognized the familiar voice
Go back, don't worry the people who care about you, Owen softly advised
Princess Tan Tan disappeared suddenly, as a personal guard, the Wu nationality was very nervous, he braved the wind and snow to almost turn over the entire military camp, and now only this area is left, the Wu nationality led 6 guards to this Jane leak tent that was only built at noon today, he wanted to go in and search, but he thought about it, how could Tan Tan come to this place, and when he was hesitating, suddenly a man and a woman opened the curtain and walked out of it
Tantan, how could you ...... Wu was taken aback, this was the scene he didn't want to see, why did Princess Tan Tan live alone with this strange foreign man, but looking at Tan Tan holding a scimitar, her anger was still gone, and the corners of her mouth were upturned, she seemed to have been greatly wronged, and she dared to bully Princess Tan Tan and quickly capture him, Wu was immediately furious
It was the six guards behind him who drew their weapons together and surrounded Owen
Stop, you are murdering, the opponent of the martial arts competition will stain the dignity of the male warrior, Tan Tan said
The Ukrainian was stunned, Tan Tan was right, tomorrow morning will be the moment of his decisive battle with Owen, if there is no suitable reason to take hostile behavior against the opponent before the battle, he will be disqualified from the competition
Tan Tan is he not right for you......
What did he do to me, I went to find him
Looking for him, the Ukrainian nationality couldn't believe his ears
Tan Tan didn't answer the question of the Ukrainian, she faced Owen and took out a small iron box from the sheepskin bag she was carrying: This is the special healing medicine made by the Da Meng tribe, take it and put the iron box in Owen's hand, Wu Ji looked at this qi in amazement, if he just didn't believe his ears just now, now he doesn't even believe his eyes - he can't figure out how Princess Tantan, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, would actually hand over the healing medicine to an opponent who will be his enemy tomorrow
Owen took the iron box and didn't speak, Tan Tan walked to the side of the Uzbek and said softly: Go back
Under the escort of 6 guards, the background of Tan Tan and Wu gradually disappeared into the snowy night.
