When King Yue ruled Shanzhou, the pattern of Shanzhou was not what it is today.

At that time, Shanzhou was full of toasts, and there were hundreds of large and small toasts.

But it was found that the sent state pastor couldn't suppress the local Tusi at all, and later in desperation, Dafeng decided to appoint the local Tusi as the state pastor, firstly, to win over these toasts and let them serve Dafeng, and secondly, to control the raze with razing, even if something happened, it was their own nest.

Later, after several competitions, there were finally three toasts left, and they became the current Shanzhou speakers.

……

At this time, Qin Yuanping looked at the letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and after a while, a flame suddenly rose on the palm of his hand, burning the entire letter to ashes, and then there was a knock on the door from his subordinates.

Qin Yuanping sat upright and said slowly, "Come in." ”

The subordinates walked in and arched their hands at Qin Yuanping, "My lord, the Langqi tribe has all disappeared overnight, and there is no one in the village on the mountain. ”

"Huh?"

Qin Yuanping was stunned for a moment, got up and said, "How is this possible, some time ago, I put on an attitude of not giving up an inch of land and fighting to the end, and now I am directly abandoning the village and leaving, this is too strange." ”

"This subordinate also feels that there is a problem, so he will hurry back and report to you." The subordinate bowed his head.

Qin Yuanping got up and said, "It seems that I have to go to this Langqi Mountain if I don't go, the head of the family has sent a letter, let us get the matter of Shanzhou as soon as possible, it seems that the imperial court has noticed here, we can't delay any longer." ”

"What about Haryanju?"

"I can't take care of him now, mobilize manpower, and prepare to go up the mountain." Qin Yuanping frowned.

At this time, Qin Yuanping didn't know the bottom of his heart, everything was in his plan, but the sudden appearance of the Central Plains master in Langqikan disrupted his plan.

If everything goes according to expectations, then now that the Langqi tribe has been taken over by Haryanju, it is better for him to go there himself.

Qin Yuanping prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his trip would go well.

……

Langqi Mountain.

On the second day after Ning Xiaochuan and the others left Langqi Mountain, Langqi Kan took his people to Houshan, where the terrain was complicated, and no one would come here except for the people of their Langqi tribe.

The cave in the back mountain was crowded with the people of the Langqi tribe, and after the old and young women and children of the village were settled, Langqi Kan left the cave, turned left and right in the deep mountains, crossed a small stream, and came to a place full of towering giant trees, which was located in a valley with peaks on both sides.

And next to the giant trees, a tombstone covered with moss is particularly conspicuous, because of the passage of time, the earthen bag behind the tombstone has become no different from the surrounding ground, and after the baptism of the years, the font on the tombstone has become blurred, albeit blurred.

But if you look closely, you can still see some clues, for example, it is not the local script engraved on it, but the Chinese characters of the Central Plains, judging from the shape of the Chinese characters, this tombstone should have at least a thousand years of history from the appearance to the present.

Lang Qikan came to the tombstone, his expression was extremely serious, next to the tombstone, there was a new tomb that had just been erected, and there were sacrificial cow heads and sheep heads on the tombs, and I don't know whether it was a wild beast or a mosquito bite, and now it has become a white bone, but the tombstone of this new tomb is not written in Chinese characters.

Lang Qikan came to the new grave, bowed heavily to the grave, and then saluted according to the regulations, chanting some strange spells in his mouth, sometimes raising his hand to look at the sky, sometimes kowtowing to the earth, after a set of procedures, the time is not early.

After visiting his father, Lang Qikan's eyes were red, and he knelt in front of the grave with tears streaming down his face, and said in the local dialect, "Father, what the hell should I do......

……

Outside Langqi Mountain.

Qin Yuanping wore a black shirt and led a group of men down to the foot of Langqi Mountain, looked up at the towering sacred mountain in front of him, stretched out his hand, and the subordinates beside him willingly sent a map, Qin Yuanping looked at the map, and said with his eyebrows, "Go up the mountain, pay attention to the surroundings, you must look carefully, especially to see if there are any traces of the life of the people in the Central Plains." ”

"Yes." The subordinates beside him led the order to go up the mountain, Qin Yuanping draped his robe behind him and walked straight to the mountain.

Langqi Mountain is full of jungles, just like a labyrinth, if you are not careful, you will get lost in the mountains and forests, and become the food for the beasts in the mountains, but for Qin Yuanping, this is not the first time he has been on Langqi Mountain.

When they first came, they obtained newcomers from the Langqi tribe as a merchant traveler in the Central Plains, and the Langqi tribe was hospitable and took them to the mountain village to entertain them; When going up the mountain, Qin Yuanping secretly wrote down the route up the mountain.

After a while, Qin Yuanping and his entourage came to the village of the Langqi tribe, the entire Langqi cottage was empty, Qin Yuanping came to Langqikan's home, looked at the impoverished room, touched the table that looked relatively intact, looked at the fine dust on the palm, Qin Yuanping frowned, "Gone?" ”

At this time, the subordinates outside the door arched their hands and said, "My lord, the whole village is empty, and no trace of other people's lives has been found except for the Langqi tribe. ”

Qin Yuanping came to the outside of the room, looked up at the towering mountain peak not far away, the mountain peak was surrounded by clouds and mist, at this time he took out the map again, compared it carefully, and then pointed to the mountain peak in front of him and said, "What is the place there, do you still have an impression?" ”

"My lord, it seems to be Langqi Mountain, the mountains are rugged, there are many cliffs, I heard the people of the Langqi tribe say that it is the place where they worship the wolf king, and it is also the place where they are buried after they die." The subordinate next to him arched his hand.

"Ancestral grave, ......" Qin Yuanping looked at the back mountain of Langqi and said thoughtfully, "They can not want the village, but the ancestral tomb must not, come and go, go to the back mountain, they must hide in the back mountain." ”

"Yes."

At this time, on the mountainside of Langqi Mountain, a man from the Langqi tribe was hiding in the bushes next to him, and there was silence all around, the man carefully observed the surroundings, and a dagger suddenly stretched out in front of him.

Before the man could shout, a stinging pain from a distance came from his neck, and the man desperately wanted to shout out, but his throat made no sound at all, blood gushed out from his neck, and the feeling of suffocation hit instantly, the man covered his neck and stared at the ground unwillingly, and he didn't see who ended his life until he died.

After his subordinates checked that there were no whistles from the Langqi tribe around him, Qin Yuanping walked out slowly, for Qin Yuanping, he knew the Langqi tribe too well, and knew that they would keep people to guard no matter when.

Looking at the corpse of the dead Langqi man in front of him, Qin Yuanping snorted coldly, "They are in the back mountain, go back and tell Ha Liangshu and ask him to bring someone to support." ”

"Yes."

The subordinates behind him retreated, Qin Yuanping threw away the cloak on his body, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and his eyes showed a fierce light, "When you meet someone from the Langqi tribe, no matter who it is, you will kill no one." ”

"Yes."

The rest of the people all threw away the cloaks behind them, and the friction of the swords out of the sheath sounded in unison, and Qin Yuanping and his subordinates rushed viciously towards the back mountain of Langqi like a killing god.

At this time, in the back mountain, Lang Qi Kan was resting on the stone table, and a tribal man ran in in a hurry, looking very urgent, and after talking to Lang Qi Kan, Lang Qi Kan's face was also ugly.

Immediately afterwards, Langqi Kan quickly came to the mouth of the cave, looked at the mountainside, frowned, and looked back at the Langqi people in the cave behind him, and now all the Langqi tribe is left with some old and weak women and children.

Lang Qikan called the man to his side, whispered a few words, and then saw the man pulling Lang Qikan with an excited expression, Lang Qikan shook his head slightly, his eyes were full of rejection.

The man was forced to let go of Lang Qi Kan's hand, and Lang Qi Kan looked at the Lang Qi people behind him with red eyes, and ran straight down the mountain.

Just after Langqikan left, there were bursts of singing in the cave, Langqikan stopped halfway, looked back at the cave, the singing was not melodious, and even a little tragic inside.

Lang Qikan knew that this was a song that their tribe would sing when they bid farewell to the warriors of the expedition, and it was also a song that came from the village when his father took the young men of his clan down the mountain to face Haryanshu.

"O warrior with spear in hand, you are the eagle of the sky, the wolf of the earth, the vigorous crying ape of the mountain stream, your will is the will of the wolf king of the west wind, and your glory is the glory of the Langqi tribe; Murderous enemies will only make you braver, leave fear and cowardice to the enemy, and bring courage and honor back to Langqi. ”

"My dear warriors, for the sake of your loved ones, for the sake of your infant children, fight for the sake of your baby."

"My dear warriors, for the wolf king, for the homeland in the mountains and forests, you fight."

"Fight, my dear warriors! Let's fight! Let's fight! ”

The tragic song resounded through the mountains and forests, and at this moment, Langqi Kan suddenly understood why his father resolutely took his clansmen down the mountain knowing that going down the mountain was death, and they were willing to sacrifice for the Langqi behind them and the Langqi they were holding onto.

At this moment, Lang Qikan recalled his father's words and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Child, when your father is gone, don't be sad, don't be sad; You have to be proud of your father, who fought for the people of the stockade, for the Langqi behind us. ”

"After your father is gone, the clan will be handed over to you, and you have grown up, it is time to pick up the scimitar and use your courage and wisdom to defeat all enemies, protect Langqi, and protect the wolf king.

Father knows that this is a lot of courage for you, but as the wolf lord chosen by the wolf king, we have no choice but not to let the tears of our people shed because of their cowardice towards the enemy, and do not let the blood of our people be shed because of our own weakness. ”

"If one day, we can only sacrifice to save our people from being slaughtered, we must choose to sacrifice and die for the Langqi behind us, and we will die without regrets."

The moment he walked out of the cave, Lang Qikan seemed to see his father waving to him; Lang Qikan's eyes were full of tears, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

Father, we made the same choice!
