Chapter 444: Secret Letter
By the time they returned to the Wu Tribe's tent, the group of warriors led by the patriarch had also returned. It's just that their faces are a little depressed, and several of them have been stained with blood, and it seems that they have been injured incomprehensibly.
Seeing this, Gina's group of women hurriedly stepped forward, removed several wounded warriors from their camels, and sent them into cloth tents to heal their wounds. When they counted the number of people, they found that there were a few people missing, and they couldn't help but ask the patriarch about it.
The patriarch sat on the chair and smashed his fist to the ground, even though the fist was blurred by this, he didn't seem to see it: "It's not just those white-eyed wolves of the Zhen clan who are paying attention to our oasis, but there are also many tribes around that have such thoughts. We didn't know it before, so we fell into an ambush, and if it weren't for the children who gave up their lives to stop us, we would all have to die there. Poor Wu people, could it be that God is going to kill us? If they really join forces, our clan alone will not be able to resist it. The urgency of the delay is to quickly seek help, and the people of the big tribe must come to the rescue. ”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Gina: "Gina, it's up to you to save the Wu clan." Although your marriage contract with the son of the patriarch of the great tribe has already begun to appear, after all, they have not officially come to propose. As long as you go there now and move with affection and reason, we don't want to pay a dowry, as long as we can get them to send someone here. Although the patriarch is a little ruthless in doing this, there is no way for the clan to continue on this oasis!"
"But I'm not going to marry there. Gina sighed, and then she raised her head to look at Zhuge Chen beside her: "I want to go beyond the desert with him, and I don't want to stay on the oasis anymore." ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was like a shock. Not only did the patriarch's face change, but even the women gathered here and some of the men who had not set out before were annoyed.
Especially Gina's father, the middle-aged man who had always been calm was furious, and directly stepped forward and slapped him, but he was not willing to slap his daughter in the face after all, and knocked Zhuge Chen to the ground with his backhand: "Bastard, is this matter that has been decided a long time ago so that you can decide? It is even said that the clan is facing a life-and-death crisis, if you regret it at this time, do you want to become a sinner?"
"Don't continue to scold, the pearl of our Wu clan is not an item after all, and it can't be exchanged for our peace. The patriarch stopped the middle-aged man, and then said: "Actually, I am very optimistic about this young man in white, and I believe that he will definitely be able to become a great person in the future, if Gina can be with him for the rest of his life, it is indeed a good thing." It's a pity that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if there is no current catastrophe. If you ruin the marriage contract that you made at least for your own good, although it was not with your permission, can our entire Wu tribe, including you, and even this young man, continue to live in the desert? Now all you can do now is to admit this marriage contract and bury your current feelings in the bottom of your heart. ”
Gina whimpered softly, but held back her tears from falling. She bent down to help Zhuge Chen up and help him remove the dust from his body.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Zhuge Chen comforted Gina, and then he protected the woman behind him, and said to everyone alone, neither humble nor arrogant: "It means that as long as I can solve this crisis, you won't take care of Gina's affairs anymore, right? Give me a maximum of half a month, I will heal my injuries, and when the time comes, whether it is the invasion of other tribes or the revival of the big tribes, I will help the Wu tribe stop it." ”
Someone snorted coldly at this moment: "Why should we believe that you are a Jianghu Sect Master? This is a desert, and your identity and family background, which may be invincible in the outside world, have no effect here!"
Zhuge Chen nodded and said, "Of course I know that if I were in the Great Yan Capital City now, there would not be such a troublesome thing. So what I need is time, as long as my realm can be restored, everything is not difficult. ”
As he spoke, Zhuge Chen pulled out the only wisp of sword qi in his sleeve, sent it to the patriarch's eyes, and said: "There is no evidence for empty words, so naturally I don't believe it." The sword qi is called Haoran, and it is a wisp of natal sword qi of my sword cultivator, and the patriarch might as well try to break it up. ”
The patriarch was skeptical, but he still chose to make a move, but when his fist was about to touch that touch the cyan, the sword qi suddenly turned into a dragon, spiraling up and heading towards the clouds. When it fell again, it had already appeared behind Zhuge Chen, slowly exhaling. The coercion it brought to everyone present couldn't even make them breathe, Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "Just this wisp of sword qi can kill ordinary Heavenly Mandate Realm cultivators. Patriarch, am I right?"
The patriarch nodded in amazement, and then asked, "Could it be...... You're a sword cultivator in the Bamboo Basket Hitting Water Realm, but you're still so young, how is this possible?"
Zhuge Chen smiled: "Naturally not, although my realm is only the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, my own killing power is comparable to that of a bamboo basket with a wonderful technique." If the opponent's magic is not the kind that can make one's own killing power increase by leaps and bounds, it can also be killed. Now Patriarch, you should believe it. Gina's life should not be decided by you, I will help her cut off the so-called fate of the desert woman in your mouth!"
The patriarch looked at Gina helplessly, but he didn't know how to say the words when they came to his lips. In the end, he could only sigh and turn away, leaving only one word: "Then so be it, I can't understand the feelings of you young people more and more." If my daughter had been able to meet a lover in the first place, why would she end up in the situation where she would never see me again? Gina grew up watching me, and of course I hope that she will be happy for the rest of her life. It's just that the clan is the one I should protect the most, and if you still can't stop the lurking crisis, I will still send Gina to the big tribe to protect the oasis. You should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"
The patriarch's back was stiff, as if he was overwhelmed by the past in his heart. Indeed, standing in this position, he never thought about himself first, but about those who supported him. That's why he married his daughter into a large tribe a few decades ago, and the man was so brutal that he beat his only daughter to death within three years. Of course, he was angry in his heart, but could it be that he could still take the Wu warriors to seek justice? If he really did this, he would be self-defeating. Even the Wu people were also indignant, and they all said that they didn't want to give up their lives, and they also wanted to avenge the patriarch's daughter, but in the end they were stopped by him. That night, the patriarch went on his own and retrieved his daughter's body, cremating the body on the desert road back, with only a box of ashes. The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and his heart is sad, and no one knows.
Zhuge Chen nodded firmly and said, "Patriarch rest assured. ”
Late that night, when there was silence in the oasis, a diminutive man crept out of the tent and came to his camel at the edge of the oasis. After a squirming sound, he took a note from his bosom and placed it in the saddle wound. Then he said to himself: "Old thing, since you dare to betray the Copper Clan, don't blame me for being determined to kill you all!"
This person has always had a very low sense of existence in the Wu tribe on weekdays, and even some people don't know his life until now. I didn't expect it to be so deeply hidden, it turned out to be the eyeliner inserted by the copper family.
Just as he was about to go back to the tent, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "It's so late, what are you doing, are you enjoying the moonlight? Come with me to the patriarch, or I'll kill you now." ”
The short man turned around stiffly, and when he saw the visitor, he suddenly laughed: "You dare to take care of me even if you are a person whose serious injuries have not yet healed?"
The white clothes who did not wear a sword at his waist shook his head and said, "No way, those who can work hard!"
The man hunched over, and he looked like he was poised to go. He had already seen the other party's methods during the day, and although he thought that he was not the opponent of the other party in his heyday, after all, as long as he could avoid that wisp of sword qi, he would be able to fight back. It's a big deal that when the time comes, he will directly grab a camel and return to the Copper Clan, and then come with a large army to annihilate the Wu Clan and seize the oasis in one fell swoop! At that time, he will be a great hero of the Copper Clan, and maybe even the oasis under his feet will be given to him by the patriarch. He couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of such a happy outcome.
Zhuge Chen stared at him and said, "You don't really think that I only have that wisp of sword qi, do you?"
Just when the man was suspicious, he saw two cyan dragons who didn't know when they had come to his side. He had to get rid of Jiaolong at the moment and rushed directly to Zhuge Chen's side, but he didn't expect that this was also a trap. Because directly in front of the white clothes, the gap has hovered there. Although it is a little difficult to pull the flying sword with Zhuge Chen's current qi, this is also the blessing of the second only phoenix feather coat in Jiangshui City. As long as it is exposed, it can be actively confronted by the contaminated time. This was discovered by Zhuge Chen by chance after trying it in a hundred days, but he didn't expect this to come in handy.
The gap swept out, and the time where he passed was also pierced, and the man couldn't stop it at all, and he was hit in the center of his eyebrows.
Before he died, he held his last breath and said, "Don't be arrogant, the news has come out, and the patriarch will definitely bring someone to avenge me!"
"I see!" Zhuge Chen laughed softly: "That's better, it also saves me from going to them myself, it's best to come all at once and let me kill them all." ”
......
Near the outside of the law, one of the four major tribes in the desert is stationed, the Copper Clan.
Although he had lost the upper hand in the battle before January, he now had to recuperate, but after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. At noon on this day, a camel broke in. After being stopped again, the Bronze tribesmen sent the secret letter in the saddle coat. Then the secret letter was quickly sent to the patriarch's tent, and the patriarch at this time was struggling with how to make the copper clan stable for at least the next five years, at least when he had to return to the peak. But when he read the secret letter, his originally gloomy face became more and more intimidating, and even his brows tightened. Those who knew him well knew in their hearts that this was a manifestation of the patriarch's wrath.
"Tell me to come. The patriarch just said five words, and immediately smashed the wine glass on the table on the ground, and said viciously: "Are these small tribes really going to rebel? Do you really think that our copper clan will collapse if you lose a game? Okay, then I'll let you know that with your ability, you are not qualified to commit the following crimes!"
After a while, the youngest son of the patriarch walked into the tent, knelt on the ground, respectfully called Daddy, and then stood up at the signal of the patriarch. This young man in his early twenties is the pride of the Tong clan, and he is the pride of the world in the desert. However, this young man with transcendent status and even more extraordinary talent fell in love with each other at the first sight of Gina, and he had never seen any woman in the desert who could have such a white and immaculate kindness like a white lotus, and gentle as water, which made him linger. Although the two have not had a conversation even once, he believes that his wife in this life is none other than him.
"Daddy, what are you calling me for?" asked Wan Yan Shujing.
For his father, Wanyan Shujing has only respect in his heart since he was a child. The man who walked in front of him like a mountain was destined to be his goal of pursuing virtue. Although the patriarch of the Copper Clan has said countless times that his youngest son will definitely surpass himself in the future and lead the Copper Clan to dominate the entire desert, he will be flattered every time he finishes a few scenes.
"See for yourself. The patriarch handed the letter to the clansmen and sent it to Wan Yan Shujing: "If you don't make a move, your wife will be taken away by foreigners." That's it, we have taken care of the Wu people for so many years, and they dare to turn against them? No matter who intercedes this time, I will drive them all out!"
"But father, the letter does not mention that the Wu people want to betray, it only says that Gina does not want to marry me. Wan Yan Shujing said, "So I think it would be good as long as I went there myself and killed that foreigner." In the way of our desert, only one person can get the woman he loves!"
The patriarch snorted coldly and said: "This is anti-heart, if we don't curb it in time, one day it will backfire on ourselves!"
