Volume 1, Origin Chapter 092, Sea and Lake Monsters
The mutton is all large pieces with bones, and Li Chengfeng is very comfortable to eat.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, in order not to delay Yanyunan, he proposed to go to find the leader of the Khitan overnight.
In this way, Li Chengfeng held the cooked leg of mutton, slowly got into the carriage, and continued to walk forward.
As it was getting dark, they saw a large group of tents surrounded by a wooden fence.
Needless to say, this must have been the place where the leader and his subordinates lived, because there were also Khitan soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Walking to the gate, Murong Bai stepped forward and talked.
Then two soldiers stepped forward and looked at the carriage one by one, and saw that it was full of daily necessities.
Murong Bai said that he would dedicate all these to the leader, so let the soldiers let them in.
To be on the safe side, the soldiers were to take a look.
But when they saw the comfort inside the carriage, the two soldiers were dissatisfied with him wearing a mask.
There was no way to be comfortable, so he had to take off the mask, but he saw a disgusting face, and even Li Chengfeng on the side looked at it and wanted to vomit.
Because it was a face full of scars burned by fire, and it was impossible to distinguish even the nose and eye.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly waved his hand, and then motioned for An Yi to hurry up and bring it.
Later, after Yanyunan sent some things to the soldier, the soldier let them go, and personally took them to meet the leader.
Li Chengfeng said to An Yi: "It turns out that you are so ugly, no wonder you dare not show your true face!"
An Yi didn't speak, but Li Chengfeng thought of something again, and suddenly spoke again: "I remember that you covered your face with a cloth before, and there were no scars around your eyes, how can you now... ”
An Yi said: "I said, we can't see people with our true faces, even if I take off the mask, what you see may not necessarily be my true face, it may also be my disguise technique." ”
Soon, several people were brought to the largest tent in the area, the ground was covered with animal skins, and it was very soft to step on.
There are many tables on both sides, the tables are full of wine and meat, and people are sitting on the ground, all of them are five big and three thick, with full beards, looking at a few people with fierce eyes.
In the innermost seat, there is a Khitan man with extraordinary martial arts, dressed in an emperor's scarf, wearing armor and military uniforms, with a mink or goose neck and duck head as the waist, which is the dress of the leader at a glance.
Murong Bai wanted to come forward and talk, but the leader could see at a glance that they were Han, and what was even more powerful was that the leader could also speak the Han language.
Before Murong Bai could speak, the leader took the initiative to say in Chinese: "Where are you visiting from the Tang Dynasty, and what's the matter?"
Yan Yunan saw that the leader could communicate in Chinese, so he stepped forward and said, "Leader, come this time... ”
The leader interrupted: "The herdsmen here call me Khan. ”
Yan Yunan paused, and hurriedly saluted: "Khan, this time I came suddenly, there is a reason for it, such as today's monsters are rampant, when we confronted each other with monsters, we found the initiator, we traced all the way to this point, and asked Khan to help." ”
Like a businessman, the Khan said, "Then it depends on your sincerity." ”
Yanyu South said: "The eight carriages outside the account are all good things from the Tang Dynasty, and all of them are supplies for rich families... ”
The khan was very greedy, and he didn't wait for Yan Yunan to finish speaking, and said directly: "Just eight carriages of things want me to work hard for you, isn't it too ignorant of me, the khan!"
Yanyu Nan didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Li Chengfeng stepped forward and said to the Khan: "Along the way, I saw that you are very poor here, mainly feeding on cattle and sheep, plus the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen are unknown and a large number of deaths, if you refuse to help, then you will slowly starve to death because of lack of food, then you will know the importance of our eight carriages!"
An Yi accosted: "We suspect that this kind of thing has a lot to do with the people we are looking for, we don't need your people to send them to death, we just want to know what you know, and we will solve the rest ourselves! Maybe we can help you deal with the current situation here." ”
The khan was silent for a long time, then sneered and said, "The people of the Tang Dynasty are really young heroes. ”
Because these are all important things that plague the Khan, he has always been helpless, and at this moment, someone has come to take the initiative to help, and what reason is there to drive people away.
Yan Yunan said again: "Don't dare to be, dare to ask the Khan what he knows?"
Khan said: "This happened, I sent people to track down many times, basically there is no return, the last time I sent a person came back alive, said that along the trail has been traced to the north of the sea lake, according to legend, there are water monsters in the sea lake, but never go ashore, can be traced to the person was either bitten to death or dragged into the lake, this is also where I am helpless, if it is really a water monster, then I really have no way to deal with it!"
Yanyu Nan said: "No matter where the water tribe is, it basically won't interfere with the affairs on the land, since they ran out at this time, it's either related to the black crystal fragments, or related to the black water, no matter what, you have to find out!"
An Yi said: "It seems that it is not easy at this time, we might as well go to Haihu first to see what the situation is, if we can catch a few water monsters, ask what the situation is!"
After learning this news, several people discussed and wanted to leave Li Chengfeng behind, after all, his injuries have not healed now, even if Murong Bai's medical skills are excellent, he does not have the ability of the Demon Ancestor, so he needs to recuperate.
Li Chengfeng just heard An Yi say that it may be related to the black crystal fragment, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li Chengfeng, who wants to be an official and make a fortune.
In addition, he was injured, knowing that Yanyu Nan and they would not let him take the lead in the charge, maybe he could still make a name for himself.
So Li Chengfeng pretended to be a great man and said: "I am also a righteous man of the Tang Dynasty, why can't I be like you, for defending the people of the Tang Dynasty, what is my injury, I will also go!"
Yan Yunan and a few people can see Li Chengfeng's careful thinking, if it weren't for Li Chengfeng's swordsmanship, among these people, the swordsmanship is the first, plus he saved Yan Yunan's life, if it weren't for these two factors, Yan Yunan would have left Li Chengfeng alone!
There was no way, so I had to immediately pull Li Chengfeng towards Nahai Lake.
On the way, Li Chengfeng said: "I had only heard of the grassland before, and this is the first time I have come, but I never thought that there would be a lake on the plateau. ”
An Yi explained: "Yes, but there are very few, and there is only one lake like Haihu Lake, because this lake is very large, and it looks boundless at a glance, just like the sea, so it is called Haihu Lake." ”
The long journey was another day, and at this time they didn't know that it had been a few days since they left Chang'an, only that the task had been progressing very slowly for so long.
When they arrived at the lake, several people briefly checked and did not find anything unusual.
Because they couldn't breathe in the water, they couldn't go to the bottom of the lake to find out what the aquarium was.
So after a few people discussed, they decided to wait a little longer, wait for them to go ashore again to make trouble, catch a few and ask what was going on, and check by the way to see if it has anything to do with Zhongtuo!
But just as a few people were eating, suddenly a group of pink women jumped out of the water, tread the water, and ran towards the shore.
This also attracted the attention of Li Chengfeng and several people, Li Chengfeng's buttocks rubbed back a few times, which means that it is inconvenient to fight if there is an injury, I will hide behind you, you guys!
Before the woman could reach the men, she crawled on the ground and did not move.
Li Chengfeng saw a waste running up, then sat down again, and said, "This is to slander people! ”
An Yi stepped forward to check on the woman, and then hugged a few people.
An Yi said: "Jumping out of the lake, but walking in the water, and the clothes are not wet, he must be a member of the water tribe, and he can cultivate a human form, which also proves that he is a nobleman in the water tribe." ”
Li Chengfeng stared at the woman for a while, and said: "Don't say it, if it weren't for her jumping out of the lake, I really wouldn't have seen that she was a water monster of the water tribe, in my impression, the water monsters of the water tribe are all disgusting things, obviously a fish, and she still opens her legs and hands." ”
But judging from the dress, this woman must be a nobleman in the water tribe, but why did she fall so embarrassed.
This also made several people puzzled.
An Yi said: "Leave her here first, and ask about the situation here when she wakes up." ”
It has to be like this, otherwise there is nothing to be done.
It was slowly getting dark again, and several people slowly fell asleep around the fire, wrapped in animal skins.
