Chapter 18: The Past

"You go, I don't need your healing. Lord Hou's heavy eyelids widened slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him who had a completely different complexion from himself.

"How many of you are left?" Wu Feng did not retreat.

"There aren't many people left, most of the clansmen are taking refuge outside, and there are only about three hundred people in this Dongtian Mansion. The Hou lord smiled bitterly: "Alas, why do you demon emperor bother to send a royal family to investigate, with the current strength of our clan, it is effortless to annex us." ”

"Annexation?" Wu Feng smiled slightly, looked at the hall on the four walls of the family and said, "Lord Hou, you have misunderstood, you are empty and withered, and you will not be born and destroyed." How can you say that it is annexed? I only learned that the treasures of your Wei clan have also been emptied, so why do the demon clans need to do anything in such a useless place. ”

The Hou Lord thought about it carefully, sighed, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Why did the Demon Emperor send you? I really don't believe that he would be so kind, just to treat me, a half-dead man." ”

"The Demon Emperor really won't be so kind. Wu Feng seemed to be smiling, his eyes were clear, "I don't represent the demon clan, and the demon clan doesn't represent me." The Hou Lord thinks well, there is nothing in the world that can be done in vain. ”

After hearing this, the Hou Lord was silent for a moment and said, "But I don't have to live." ”

Wu Feng sneered: "Why?"

"Isn't that obvious enough?" the Hou Master was a little self-defeating, and suddenly slammed the bed hard, followed by a violent cough. The guide hurriedly helped the Hou Lord to calm down, and then the Hou Lord's words said: "Childe, you also said just now, we are in this situation, and we don't even have the intention of the demon clan to annex us, and now there is no way for the demon clan to go except destruction." ”

"Yes, you're so weak that you don't even qualify for an exchange of survival. Wu Feng nodded.

"Yes, the few races we had befriended in the past now see us, and they avoid us like they have seen the plague god. The guide said, "We have nothing, and naturally we don't have the right to ask for help." Childe should go. ”

Wu Feng's hand gently stroked the cat in his arms, found a seat next to him and sat down, and placed the cat on his lap.

There was a deathly silence in the room for a while, and it was not until the big cat stretched and let out a pleasant meow that this silence was broken.

"It turns out that the fish is not as good as the class and the shark. Wu Feng scoffed.

“...... How can you get my people to ...... with those two? Compared to those two lowly and shameless races!" The Hou Lord, who finally got his way, was angry, and his withered hand trembled and pointed at Wufeng.

"Cheap?" Wu Feng said with a funny smile, "The Southern Shark and the Northern Category have indeed been reduced to playthings in the palm of their hands, but they will still fight up instead of sitting still. ”

There was a look of disdain in Wufeng's pale golden eyes: "And you, your Wei clan has not been destroyed, your clan has not yet died, but you lie in bed all day long and ignore the world. If nothing else, are you really worthy of the more than 300 clansmen who stayed with you and waited for death?!"

Lord Hou was stunned and lowered his head in thought.

"I really don't know the details of why your Wei clan experienced the catastrophe back then, but ......" Wu Feng stared at the person sitting on the bed with his head hanging down and said slowly: "Seeing the appearance of the Hou Lord today, I think that you have contributed a lot to the fact that the Wei can get to this point." ”

After that, he stood up and said: "Since the Hou Lord insists on lying in bed and waiting for death, and letting the marquis step into the footsteps of the class and the shark, it is indeed my nosy." I won't bother with it. ”

...... Step into the footsteps of the class and the shark...... The Hou Lord seemed to be pulled back by this sentence, and he trembled involuntarily, and his cloudy eyes trembled back and forth in his sockets.

No...... You can't be like them, you can hide, you can wipe out your clan, you can even destroy a single person left! However, you must not be like a class and a shark, reduced to a plaything in the world!

If there is no freedom to live, and it is a pure shame to live, and this shame is also seen as a grace, then why live!

The Hou Lord breathed rapidly, holding back the coughing sound that was about to erupt, and shouted hoarsely: "Wait...... Wait!"

No front stops.

"You...... Whatever you want, I'll give you whatever I can give you...... Help us. The lord shouted hysterically.

Wu Feng smiled with satisfaction, turned around and said, "You can give me what I want, and I also believe that the Wei clan re-promises." ”

Lord Hou's sad eyes looked at Wu Feng and nodded.

"Your illness will be cured within five days, and the rest of the symptoms will be slowly recuperated. Wu Feng looked at the big cat in his arms who had woken up and said leisurely: "In addition to what I want, you have to agree to a request from me." ”

"You say. ”

"From now on, you and I will make an alliance. ”

Lord Hou was stunned, listening to this request that was completely beneficial to himself, he was a little puzzled, and opened his mouth to ask. But was stopped by Wu Feng: "It's not now, it's later." ”

After hearing this, the Hou Lord somehow burst out a faint brilliance in the godless eyes, looked at Wufeng with a complicated expression for a while, and responded in an affirmative tone: "I swear by the life of the holy pool, if one day it can be used by the prince, my clan will definitely go to the soup and the fire!"

"That's good. Wu Feng said, "Tonight, you have to ask someone to catch some dead souls and come back, I will use them." ”

“...... Dead?" said the guide.

"It's best to be born, but I can't use your people to renew your life, and there are not a lot of wild beasts in this cold and snowy land. Wu Feng said lightly. "I heard that there was a bloody battle in this cave mansion back then, and it wasn't difficult to find out the hidden enemy dead and use it, right?"

"It's not difficult! It's not difficult!" The guide nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll do it now!"

After the guide left, the Hou lord shook his spirit, straightened his waist pole on the pillow, and said to Wu Feng: "Childe, this is a method to use soul attraction to continue life?"

Wu Feng sat down and nodded slightly: "I will give you another three years of life, and you still need to raise the requiem in the future." But you don't have to worry, everything will be back to your peak in three years, and it will not be difficult to recuperate after that. ”

The Hou Lord looked at Wufeng and nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you Zuo Quan for making the right talent the first to drink." ”

Wu Feng was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Lord Hou is sharp-eyed. ”

"Alas, the Golden Life Amethyst Frost Hua can use the soul-attracting technique to this point, I'm afraid that the only one is the left power envoy. Lord Hou smiled.

"I heard that the Wei tribe was besieged by people from all walks of life in the early years, what happened?" Wu Feng changed the topic and asked his own questions.

"It's a long story, the envoy should know that our people are good at producing grass and mines. ”

"焠 (cui) string grass, sheng (cheng) yang iron" Wu Feng nodded.

"Grass can be used for ornamentation, the leaves can be used for medicine, and its rhizomes can be melted to increase the toughness of weapons, and Shengyang iron is a rare casting and melting material, which is almost a necessary item for high-quality weapons. ”

"Our clan also relies on this unique spiritual treasure to trade with all ethnic groups and all walks of life. Legend has it that in order to magnify our clan, the ancestors prayed to the heavens and took the soul as the media, summoned the ancient gods, turned their blood into a hot spring that never froze, turned their bodies into the inexhaustible vegetation in the holy spring, and turned their veins into the never-ending fish in the pool, and let the ancient gods plant them in the flesh and blood of our people, reflecting them under the stone bridge, endlessly. ”

"No wonder the people are trustworthy, because there was the urging of the ancestors, but unfortunately, your ancestors originally thought that if you keep your word and keep your righteousness, your people's trade and rich life will continue forever, but this is not the case. Wu Feng's expression was complicated, amused and sighed.

"The envoy is right, faith can never catch up with greed, and there will always be people who will try to make an exception. Even if we ourselves are conformist, others may not be able to follow the rules. Lord Hou's expression was gloomy.

"Someone broke the rules. "No edge is clear.

"Yes, but what really brought us to this point was not the violation of this rule, but the two treasures of our clan. The old lord coughed a few times and said slowly: "The cause of this incident is a shipment more than 20 years ago. A mysterious buyer bought us a large amount of Shengyang iron ore and some of the grass grass, saying that his swordsmith had designed more than a dozen new blades, which he wanted to mass-produce and sell at the "Sword Trial Conference". At that time, when it came to the "Sword Trial Conference", we naturally thought of the well-known "Yimingzhuang", thinking that it was the goods set by their people, after all, it was indeed only more than three months away from the Sword Trial Conference, and it was necessary to rush to produce a batch of good weapons, and this time was very tight. ”

Wu Feng smiled slightly when he heard this: "Deceived?"

"No, they carry a token of Ichimeizhuang. Lord Hou shook his head slowly.

"Oh?" Wu Feng thought about it slightly, and seemed to roughly understand what was going on.

Sure enough, the Hou lord continued: "After the delivery was delivered to the receiver, we sent a group of people to Shangmingzhuang to collect money, but they were beaten out by the people of Yimingzhuang, and went to more than ten clansmen, and only three people came back, all with varying degrees of injuries. The people who came back said that Yimingzhuang said that he did not receive this batch of goods, and the people who sent them thought that they were black goods, so despite Yimingzhuang's obstruction, they forcibly searched all the places in the village where they could hide the goods, but found nothing, and finally angered the people of the villa, and there was a conflict. ”

"I thought about it carefully afterwards, it must have been dropped in the first place. Alas, it shouldn't have been so impulsive at the time ... The Hou sighed slightly.

"You are trustworthy, and it is understandable that you are impulsive when you encounter this kind of suspected black goods. Wu Feng said lightly.

"So far, we're still not sure who's behind it, but ...... We have to suspect that it was the rebels of the southern shark and the north who did it. Lord Hou frowned.

"South shark and north class?...... You only use the other party's token as identification in your transaction?" Wu Feng asked.

"Yes......" Lord Hou said slowly: "In fact, in addition to the other party's token, we will also give the old guest a thin plate cast by Shengyang iron as a certification." The right envoy also knows that the trading and buying of such precious goods requires a few more eyes. If you are not familiar with the people, we will only ship in batches, each delivery is not much, and send a payment for a delivery, and with an acquaintance with Shengyang iron brand, we will pay after the goods, which can be regarded as some relief to the old customers. ”

"So, the person who delivered the goods to you at that time not only held the token of Yimingzhuang but also your Shengyang iron plate?" Wu Feng squinted slightly.

"That's right, and in addition to the mark engraved with the Wei clan, the Shengyang iron plate will also be printed with the mark of the buyer's token on the back. So I really didn't think much about it at the time, so I shipped it to others in large quantities. The marquis was gloomy.

"Why...... Later, you confirmed that it was not a ghost caused by Yimingzhuang, but suspected that it was Nan Shark and Bei Kind?" Wu Feng asked.

"Because we went to Yimingzhuang the next day to collect the money, and when we shipped the goods, we sent someone to deliver them to the warehouse near Yimingzhuang. However, at the time of the search, there was no such goods in the warehouse of Yimingzhuang, and there was not even any trace of the goods in the entire village; it took three days to transport such a large pile of goods, and this amount could not be filled in Huiyun bag. Unless it's ...... The Floating Life Ring, but the Floating Life Ring can't be in Yimingzhuang, even if it is in Yimingzhuang, they can't use it. The Hou sighed heavily.

"Isn't the warehouse unattended?" Wu Feng said a little strangely.

"It's a little strange to say that the familiar little guys in the warehouse in those days are gone, and there are two people with raw faces. But I didn't think much about it at the time!" Lord Hou hammered his chest and regretted it.

"In this way, it is almost certain that the matter has been hindered. "No Blade.

"Alas, do you know where this batch of goods appeared later?"

Wu Feng looked at the old man with a somewhat excited expression, and guessed, "Class or shark clan?"

"In the Terran military headquarters! In the weapons confiscated by the Terran military headquarters, to be exact. ”

“...... Involving the Terrans," Wu Feng frowned slightly.

"And this batch of weapons came from ...... There are still ...... rebellious shark tribes in various places Class family. ”
