At this time, the guards on the wall drew their bowstrings, and one of the soldiers shouted, "What are you doing here? ”

The barbarian soldier who took the lead immediately said, "Don't release the arrows, we are here to deliver a ransom to Gongzi Qi." ”

After listening to the words of this barbarian soldier, the Terran soldiers on the city wall relaxed.

The barbarians are a people who keep their promises. What they say will not be reversed. He said that he would give a ransom to redeem Muna, and he would take the ransom as agreed.

Although Muna has returned, they will not break the contract.

Moreover, once, in history, there was a leader of the barbarians who was captured by a warrior of the human race.

He said he was going to ransom himself with a huge ransom. The warrior said that he did not need any gold and silver treasures, but only wanted the people of the border city to enjoy peace and live in peace and contentment.

The leader of the barbarians swore a heavy oath that in his lifetime, under his leadership, he would not let the barbarians take the initiative to wage war against the Terrans again.

When the leader of the barbarians had sworn an oath, the warrior let him go.

Sure enough, the leader of the barbarians was very trustworthy, and in the next hundred years of his life, he never waged a war against the border city again. Under his leadership, the barbarians have always retreated to the west of Daqingshan, and have never set foot in the Daqingshan corridor.

This matter has been spreading in the border city as a glorious victory of the Terran race.

It can be said that everyone knows and everyone knows.

Therefore, when the guards on the city wall heard that these barbarians were here to send a ransom to Qi Xiaozhi, they all believed it.

The soldiers under the walls opened the gates and let the group in.

Although these barbarians kept their promises, they were also a little stubborn, and they had to hand over the ransom to Qi Xiaozhi with their own hands.

And Qi Xiaozhi was on the city wall at this time. Recipients of Tang Xianming, Xu Qide and others.

The painters next to him all looked at Qi Xiaozhi with envious eyes.

Being able to make a meritorious contribution in the first battle, and also make the barbarians retreat, is indeed a great achievement worth reporting.

Maybe even a knighthood might be given to him.

However, they could also see that if it weren't for Qi Xiaozhi's own strong strength and the potion he took to restore his physical strength at that time, the situation might be completely different.

And. Namuna should also be on the battlefield for the first time, and he was a little light on the enemy, which caused such a result.

When the barbarians brought things up, Xu Yude patted Qi Xiaozhi's shoulder lovingly.

The barbarians, when they saw Qi Xiaozhi, all stepped forward to salute. They also have great admiration for the warriors, especially the warriors who can defeat their witches.

The leader said. "Young Master Qi, these are our Wu Muna's ransoms. We sent it to Childe. ”

Qi Xiaozhi didn't expect these barbarians to be so trustworthy and fast.

The leader opened the box directly. Immediately, the contents were revealed.

Sure enough, three pieces of jade, and pieces of gold.

What caught the painter's eye the most were the two sandalwood carvings placed in a box.

A piece of ornament is carved to resemble an eagle spreading its wings. It looks beautiful and unusual. Even the feathers on the wings of the eagle are finely carved.

Another piece of ornament was carved to resemble a woman. The woman was dressed in barbarian clothing, though her skeleton was larger than that of a human woman. But the body is very hot, and the appearance is also very gorgeous.

It can be seen that the barbarians also took a lot of effort to choose these two carvings.

In the eyes of the barbarians, the eagle represents supreme power, courage, ability, and so on.

There are eagle ornaments, which not everyone can wear.

It had to be a nobleman, or even, a great nobleman, to be able to wear an ornament with an eagle.

And the eagle carved out of sandalwood is even more precious, and only those who are the most honorable of each tribe can possess it.

As for the carving of the barbarian woman, there must be a prototype.

Such a woman full of barbarian charm, with such a good face and figure, must be a noble-born person.

Such carvings are even more precious and will not be given away casually.

Now, the barbarians have sent such two carvings, which not only shows that they think highly of Qi Xiaozhi's identity, but more importantly, it shows their mentality of wanting to be friends with Qi Xiaozhi.

The students next to him all looked at the expensive ransom with envious eyes.

Participating in a war, not only gaining honor, but also actual wealth, is really enviable.

These barbarian soldiers put the box in front of Qi Xiaozhi, introduced it, counted these things, and turned to leave.

Qi Xiaozhi was also unkind, and included these things in his painting dictionary.

Now that the barbarians have retreated from the first attack, it is also something to celebrate. In the evening, under the leadership of General Tang Xianming, all the students and teachers ushered in a sumptuous dinner.

Even, a lot of people even drank a little bit of alcohol.

It's no wonder that Tang Xianming is so solemn. In history, it can be said that there have been very few cases of human beings defeating barbarian witches.

The human race has always relied on the huge number of painters, and it has relied on the good discovery of painters' abilities and applied them to large-scale wars.

It has not been a situation for the painter to win by single-handedly challenging the barbarian witches for thousands of years.

Therefore, people who are familiar with history are very excited.

Yuan Yuan and Zhang Xiangfeng, Zhang got lost, Wu Daniu had dinner, and went to rest.

In the afternoon, there were three shifts in shifts. Walking around the city walls for an hour was not so tiring, but it was boring enough.

After all, the two sides had just clashed once, and the barbarians would definitely not come to attack today.

At night, Yuan Yuan still inspired "Starry Sky" to cultivate the divine soul.

Although it seems like a lot of time, maybe a day or two, it only needs to be rotated once. But the time to be able to meditate and cultivate is actually very small.

Fortunately, Yuan Yuan was one person in one room, so he could concentrate on cultivating his soul without distractions.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yuan still got up very early and began to practice martial arts.

After learning more and more about martial arts, Yuan Yuan was no longer as careless as he had been.

The use of martial arts has been in critical situations several times. Saved his life.

Moreover, understanding the importance of martial arts for a painter, Yuan Yuan also paid more and more attention to the cultivation of martial arts.

After finishing his cultivation and having breakfast, Yuan Yuan walked out on the streets of the border city alone to wander around.

Zhang Xiangfeng should still be cultivating the painting yuan at this time, so Yuan Yuan didn't plan to disturb him, so he didn't call him.

Because in the previous day's confrontation, the Terrans had the upper hand, so. On the streets, there were also smiles on the faces of those civilians. Everyone seemed to be happy.

No wonder these civilians are like this. Historically, the border city has been breached several times.

Painters, warriors are okay, they can always rely on some of their own strength, and then run away.

It's a pity for these civilians, who have no way to escape on their own, and no horses to walk around, so. He could only stay and put his life and death on the conscience of the barbarians.

After the barbarians entered the border city, it was not for nothing that they burned, killed and looted.

After all. It's not the same race, and besides, the barbarians don't know how long they can occupy the border city, and they will be counterattacked by the Terrans. So. When they enter the border cities, they will loot a lot of things and transport them back to the territory of the barbarians.

Silk made by the Terrans. Tea, precious stones, beautifully crafted paper, utensils, all looted by the barbarians.

The most terrible time was that a very brutal barbarian leader broke through the border city, not only looting things, but also killing many people.

After that catastrophe, the border city was ten rooms and nine empty.

It wasn't restored until many years later.

So, in the border city, the Terrans have won, and no one is happier than the civilians of Nabe.

In the border towns, the common people respected the painter more than in other cities.

Because, it is the painter's dedication and battle that brought the peace of the border city.

Yuan Yuan looked at these civilians and also sighed a lot.

Although Junyang is relatively small and remote, after all, it will not be threatened by war.

Most people live more comfortably.

And the civilians in the border city have some anxiety on their faces.

Without Junyang, the civilians of that city looked peaceful.

Yuan Yuan didn't have a purpose, so he wandered around the border city at will.

For three days, it wandered around aimlessly.

Since the third day of the Lunar New Year, after reaching the state of unity between heaven and man, Yuan Yuan found that he seemed to be able to get a trace of peace of mind by wandering around indifferently and aimlessly without thinking in such a situation.

This feeling is so mysterious that he can't say it, he can only feel it.

And this kind of feeling is not something that can be obtained by cultivating hard.

It seems that only in such an unintentional state can he feel it.

Especially looking at the crowd around them, looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, looking at these ordinary people who are busy and busy, watching them live, watching them do things, talking, talking, bargaining......

It seems that Yuan Yuan's whole mind has also begun to broaden.

On this day, five days had passed since the first attack of the barbarians.

Yuan Yuan wandered to a street selling medicinal herbs.

This street, the whole street is full of pharmacies.

Because it's very close to Daqingshan. Many of the medicinal herbs here are collected from Daqingshan. Therefore, there are a lot of high-quality, high-grade medicinal materials.

Yuan Yuan walked past the shops, one by one, identifying these medicinal materials.

Yuan Yuan, who had already read through the "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs", really didn't find any medicinal materials that he didn't know.

Occasionally, Yuan Yuan would also chat with his buddy and the shopkeeper.

These guys, the shopkeepers, were all in awe when they found that Yuan Yuan's knowledge of medicinal herbs was so profound.

Yuan Yuan walked to a medicinal incense pavilion and was about to continue his identification when he suddenly heard a bell.

There is only one place in the entire city where there is a clock, and that is on the western wall.

And there is only one situation when the bell rings, and that is when the barbarians attack.

Hearing the bell, Yuan Yuan retracted his steps towards the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion, ran "Chasing a Thousand Steps", and headed west of the city. (To be continued.) )
