When Gongsun Lan just tracked down, she found that the kung fu of these people was much better than she imagined, although the people on her side were not weak, but it was difficult to decide for a while, not to mention that she didn't want anyone to be killed or injured on her side. So when she faced the leader of the square, she had already decided to show her tactics and surprise her.

She relied on her whip and gun to break it, twisted forward and directly wrapped the long knife in the other party's hand, and pulled it violently.

The other party didn't expect that Gongsun Lan would have so much strength, and her body suddenly lost her balance. But with his outstretched hand, this little means could not hurt him at all, and he spat out wild words with disdain, but only halfway through the words, he saw Gongsun Lan's wrist move, and the whip tail suddenly scattered into a flower shape, like a poisonous snake opening its fangs.

Several silver rays of light shot out, and a chill rushed to the top of his head, but it was too late for him to dodge, and seeing those few silver lights stabbing towards his eyes, he reacted immediately, but he only had time to save his left eye, and there was a stinging pain in his right eye, followed by a blur of blood red.

"Ahhhh

The screams immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the eyes of the other party and the group showed surprise.

They didn't expect their leader to stretch out his hand so powerfully, he actually didn't get ten moves in a woman's hand, and he was blinded by stabbing eyes, and he was horrified in his heart, and struggled to get closer to the leader, but Yuechen didn't give them this opportunity. He understood Gongsun Lan's purpose as he pulled back, and reacted quickly after the black-clothed leader was stabbed in the eye.

Seeing Yuechen's gestures, everyone took advantage of the momentary stagnation of the opponent's attack, and immediately launched a fierce attack, making it impossible for them to get close to the two in the middle.

The black-clothed leader waved the long knife in his hand like crazy, and the dust in the woods was stirred up all over the sky, staining the blood stain on his right eye, making him look even more embarrassed, he could not be Gongsun Lan's opponent at this time.

Gongsun Lan dodged his attack, the long whip turned into a hard whip, and with a flick of his wrist, the whip took the opponent's knife-wielding wrist like an eye.

The person closest to the black-clothed leader almost heard the sound of bones shattering, and suddenly felt his bones hurt.

The leader's long knife fell to the ground, the blood red of his right eye had sunk into the darkness, and the needle seemed to be soaked in some kind of medicine, causing his eyes to be painful, and the panic in his heart also spread infinitely, he was frightened and furious, and shouted: "Kill her!" Kill them! ”

However, Yuechen and the others had already entangled their opponents, making them unable to distract themselves from the battle situation on this side.

Gongsun Lan patted off the dead leaves on her robe, sneered, and said, "Since you hit this girl's hands, do you still want to leave!" ”

She swung her soft whip, and the tail of the whip stabbed at the opponent's holes, and the dancing whip brought gusts of wind and scattered a large area of dead branches and leaves in the surrounding woods. In the dazzle, not only did the other party's centaurs feel trembling and frightened, but even Yuechen and the others felt that their flesh and bones were sore and numb in their eyes, as if the person who was beaten was themselves.

In a moment, the leader had no power to resist, and fell to the ground in a crippled manner. Gongsun Lan's eyes swept around, and the rest of the black-clothed people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they were restrained by Yuechen and the others in a few breaths. And unloaded the other party's jaws as soon as possible, lest they bite through the poison pill and commit suicide.

"Miss, there are sixteen people in this team, six dead and ten wounded."

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Such an excellent team, if it is met by others, it will inevitably become a revenant under the sword." Baimeng has been planning for a long time, and I don't know how many spies are hiding in the shadows besides them. She glanced at the people who were lying on the ground and tied up like rice dumplings, and said, "Look, don't let them die." ”

Yuechen said, "Miss, do we want to stay here?" ”

The sunlight shone directly through the cracks in the trees, shining the fine beads of sweat on Gongsun Lan's face, she looked at the location around her, and said: "This place is not far from the place mentioned in the fifth brother's secret letter. ”

Yuexi led a large team to wait for Gongsun Lan in front, and was anxious for fear that they would encounter hard stubble, and they were waiting with sweat, when they saw a few more black-clothed people behind Gongsun Lan, and hurriedly urged the horse to catch up: "Miss, who are they?" ”

Gongsun Lan glanced at the leader of the gang with a smile and said, "Appetizers." ”

Hearing this, Yuexi knew that these people must be of great use, and looked at the miserable appearance of one of them, and nodded with a smile. He ordered a carriage to be vacated and several prisoners trapped in rice dumplings were stuffed into it.

Yuechen came over and said, "Miss, my subordinates have already asked people to explore the surrounding environment, and there is a place in front of us that is suitable for camping, so let's settle there today." ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Lan urged the horse forward, thinking about the matter of the pair of spies, so he said: "I always feel that the purpose of these people is not simple, we have to find a way to make good use of it." ”

Yuexi beat the horse and followed Gongsun Lan's side and asked: "Miss, my subordinates have never understood, I heard that the kings of the hundred leagues in the past generations will select twelve warriors from the five major tribes under their command to serve him, and the selection of these warriors is very strict and cruel, and many outstanding young people will die in the process, is this kind of self-consumption really conducive to the stability of the country?" ”

Those who dare to choose the twelve warriors are all capable, otherwise how dare they participate in the selection, but the selection process is very strict and bloody, except for the twelve people who won in the end, the rest of the people are either dead or disabled, which is undoubtedly a great loss for the tribes and even the entire hundred leagues.

"Hmph, naturally unstable."

The afterglow of the sunset brocade was like a horizontal slant in the sky, and the heat finally subsided, Gongsun Lan raised his face to the wind and stroked the hair on his sideburns, and said: "Baimeng now has a royal family ruling over the remaining five tribes, in fact, in the past, Baimeng not only had five major tribes, but thirty-six scattered tribes. ”

A hundred years ago, there was a brave and resourceful figure in the Hekh tribe, who fought for half his life and unified the thirty-six tribes in the southern region, and was called King Heck.

However, although these tribes were willing to submit to King Heck, they were far away from each other, both in-laws and enemies, and they could not work together at all, and it was extremely difficult to control. King Heck came up with a plan to select twelve warriors out of all the shortcomings, and whoever became twelve warriors would be promoted to the rank of knight, bringing countless benefits to his own tribe. The powerful tribes were very happy to learn of this, but some tribes could not get such benefits because of the war or their own weakness, and finally chose to attach themselves to a large tribe close to them. ”

"In this way, the thirty-six tribes eventually merged into seven." Gongsun Lan admired King Heck's cleverness, and at that time, the situation was extremely chaotic, so he easily diverted the attention of the tribes and gave himself time to stabilize the throne. "Of course, this is only a stopgap measure."

Yuexi suddenly realized and said, "Oh! I know that, too. I heard that two of the seven tribes at that time understood King Heck's intentions and wanted to seek greater benefits from King Heck. As a result, King Heck had long wanted to find an opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys as a warning to his subjects, so the two tribes were exterminated in the name of rebellion. Scared the other tribes into being honest, and didn't dare to make another mistake easily. ”

"Well, that's right. The tribe is still martial, and the winner is king, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people. Compared to the self-consumption you mentioned, such a method is much better than the major tribes scattering and fighting each other. Her eyes looked in the direction of Baimeng, and said quietly:

"Even now, the King of the Hundred Alliances needs this kind of consumption in order to preserve his position as the strongest of all the tribes. Of course, the tribes are not stupid, and they will not let all the outstanding young people in their tribe run for the Twelve Warriors, and even deliberately let them hide themselves in order to preserve the strength of their tribes. ”

"In order to prevent the tribes from overriding the rule of the royal family, King Heck had set many rules to control other tribes, but after his death, this control became a chicken, and the current King Yuhuan did not have the majesty of King Heck, and the tribes became ready to move."

Yuexi always followed Gongsun Lan's side, and under the influence of her and Yang Zheng, she can now talk about these things, saying: "So Baimeng has always been in such a check and balance, and the situation is not much better than that of the royal family and major families in Yasukuni. ”

Yuechen heard this and said: "King Yuhuan is now sixty-five years old, and he is ambitious all his life and wants to emulate his ancestors. ”

"It's not impossible. Coinciding with the battle for the crown prince, it makes it all even bloodier and more desperate. Gongsun Lan nodded, thinking of the newly appointed prince of Qincha, I don't know what means he will use to deal with Baimeng?

Yuechen turned her head to look at the carriage full of captives, and guessed, "Miss, these people are obviously highly trained, and the leader is even more skilled, are the warriors of the Baimeng clan really so brave?" ”

"If everyone in Baimeng had such strength, they would have been eager to subdue Da'an and come to crush Yasukuni, how could they wait until now? Judging by their cautious and calculating behavior, it is only half a pound and eight taels with Yasukuni. ”

Yuexi raised her eyebrows: "So, the identities of these people are not simple, could it be that the sons of King Yuhuan are eager to fight for merit and sneak to Yasukuni in person?" ”

Yuechen frowned: "Although the crown princes of the Hundred Alliances are fiercely competitive, they are also extremely desperate for their lives, and they will not easily risk their lives, it is very likely that they are spies of a certain tribe's secret training, or they are simply close relatives of the royal family." ”

"What the hell is, just take a look at their mouths tonight." A smile appeared on Gongsun Lan's lips, if it was really a certain prince, their luck was really good.
