Chapter 281: Barbarian Zhongcheng
Where is this blizzard, hundreds of barbarians the size of stones are galloping towards them, stepping on the frost stirred up by the ice surface along the way, and this is what makes it look like a blizzard.
A quarter of an hour later, they had already arrived at a place beyond Yang Luochen, and the stone was among them, and Elder Manda poked his head out of the brocade in the stone's arms, and said to Manzhong: "Manzhong, take the King of Dingfeng back"
Manzhong glanced at Yang Luochen, and replied with some difficulty: "Great Elder, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, he is an outsider"
Manda said slowly: "Manzhong, the King of Dingfeng is a friend of the eldest princess, and he is the king of Gale side by side, don't say more, take King Dingfeng back."
Manzhong looked at Yang Luochen coldly, and said indifferently: "Let's go"
Yang Luochen's unfriendly attitude towards the barbarian was a little strange, he was also the first time to the barbarian level, it was impossible to offend the barbarians, Yang Luochen still saluted Manda and said, "Thank you Elder Manda for saving your life."
Manda hurriedly returned: "King Dingfeng must not be like this, the old man can't go out, so he won't return the courtesy." Come out of here with us."
Yang Luochen nodded, Manda shrank into the arms of the stone, Manzhong glanced at Yang Luochen, kicked his feet on the ground, leaving a big pit on the soles of his feet, and flew in the direction of Wangmo City, and the others also left, and the ice surface stirred up frost again.
Yang Luochen was really angry, and followed Shi Shi's side, Shi smiled innocently, and said: "Childe, the Great Elder saw that you were in danger, so he went to Zhongcheng in front of him and looked for Elder Manzhong to save you."
Yang Luochen nodded, and Manda said in the stone arms: "King Dingfeng doesn't have to take it to heart, this is a matter of old decay. When you arrive in Zhongcheng, if you have any disrespect for the King of Dingfeng, please forgive the King of Dingfeng."
Yang Luochen returned: "Where did Elder Manda say, thanks to Elder Manzhong's rescue, otherwise Luo Chen may be more and less auspicious this time."
Elder Manda replied: "King Dingfeng, I know you have a lot of questions, and when you get to Zhongcheng, the old man will answer you slowly."
Yang Luochen agreed, and followed the team of people and horses to fly quickly in the direction of Wangmo City, and there was frost all over the way, like a storm.
After galloping for about an hour, Yang Luochen and the others finally came to the front of a large stone pile, the city gate was tall and mighty, but there was no one on the city wall, and the city gate was opened.
Following the pace of the barbarians, the group did not stop, and went straight into the city, and then these barbarians and strong men began to return to their respective homes one after another.
The buildings in the city were the same as the city where Yang Luochen had just entered the barbarian steps north of the gale, but it was covered with ice and snow, and there was a pot of fire in front of the tall house made of stones, which made Yang Luochen's heart feel a little warm.
As they entered the city, there were fewer and fewer people in the large army, and in the end, only the three of Manzhong, Shi Shi and Yang Luochen remained, and of course, sometimes the Manda Elder in his arms.
The group came to the front of the tallest building in the city, which was also a bell and drum tower, but it was more than ten times larger than the one when Yang Luochen saw Manda.
Yang Luochen followed the barbarian Zhong and the stone into the bell and drum tower, the space inside was very large, surrounded by a circle of lit bonfires, in the middle there was a pile of Yang Luochen's tall firewood burning, surrounded by huge futons.
Manzhong sat down on the west side of the bonfire and began to warm up, ignoring Yang Luochen, the stone sat down cross-legged on the south side of the fire, like a boulder, and Elder Manda left the stone wrapped in brocade and arrived to the north of the bonfire.
Manda asked Yang Luochen to sit down in the east position, Yang Luochen was not polite, the scene became strange all of a sudden, in the bell and drum tower, the stone was the most burly, followed by Manzhong, then Yang Luochen, and finally Manda who was a child but had white hair.
Manda was by the fire for a while, and his trembling body slowly calmed down, and then he bowed to Yang Luochen and said: "King Dingfeng forgives sins, barbarian people don't understand etiquette."
Manzhong's face changed slightly, but the stone left the fire alone as if he hadn't seen it, and went to the top of the bell and drum tower.
Yang Luochen hurriedly helped Elder Manda up and returned: "Elder doesn't have to be like this, I'm an ordinary cultivator now, you and I are young and orderly, if you salute me like this, it will be a shame for Luochen."
Manda got up at this time, sat down cross-legged again, glanced at Manzhong and said: "This is the third elder of the barbarian clan, Manzhong, you have seen it, this time it is the closest to his tribe, so he let him help."
Yang Luochen was about to thank him again, but Manda said: "King Dingfeng doesn't have to be polite, Manzhong doesn't like the etiquette of the people in the south, and he is a little prejudiced against the people in the south, and I hope that King Dingfeng won't mind."
Yang Luochen glanced at the silent manzhong, and said with a smile: "No, the difference between the north and the south of the gale Luo Chen is insightful, and it does not belong to the same cultural system at all, you have your culture, Luo Chen will also abide by it."
Manda nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Yang Luochen to sit down, and then said slowly: "King Dingfeng, we will rest for a few days now in the Zhong Tribe, and then set off to look at the Demon City, these days the old man will tell you everything you want to know, as long as the old man knows"
As soon as these words came out, Manzhong suddenly stood up, looked at Yang Luochen and said coldly: "Great Elder, this person wants to go with us to see the Demon City?
Manda tightened the brocade fur wrapped around his body, and asked Manzhong to sit down, and then said: "Manzhong, I know that you are prejudiced against the King of Dingfeng, sit down first, don't be impatient"
Manzhong listened to Manda's words and sat down quietly, Yang Luochen was also puzzled, with Manzhong's strength, it was indeed a little strange to be able to listen to the weak Manda's words.
At this time, the stone came down from the stairs, carrying a big fish, the size of a stone, Yang Luochen was also the first time to see such a big fish, and he was a little surprised.
The stone didn't care about Yang Luochen and them, threw the big fish on the ground, and then found a long iron rod, which was the thickness of Yang Luochen's arm, passed through the mouth of the fish in the heavy rain, and roasted it on top of the ham.
Seeing Yang Luochen staring at him, Shi Han smiled and said, "I'm hungry, eat something."
Yang Luochen nodded, and then Manda said to Yang Luochen: "King Dingfeng, the gale has a great favor to my barbarians, in the civil strife back then, my barbarians stayed out of the matter under the will of the emperor, but they also cared about the safety of the gale."
"Back then, you calmed the gale and achieved immortal feats, and you did great merit, but there were also killings, and the barbarians heard that you killed hundreds of thousands of people in the gale, and they have long been prejudiced against you, the king of the wind."
"If it weren't for the Emperor's decree and the strict prohibition of the National Teacher, I'm afraid that the people of the barbarian tribe would have gone to Tianfeng City to ask you about it. Although there are some cultural differences between our barbarians and Gale, they are both Gale people, and they both belong to the subjects of the Young Master's family."
"The old man believes that the King of the Wind is not the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately, but he also has to give an explanation to the barbarians, otherwise if the old man takes you to the Demon City, you will definitely be rejected by the other elders, and it is very likely that the barbarians will suffer from civil strife."
Yang Luochen asked, "Elder wants me to explain to Elder Manzhong, why did you kill more than 100,000 people in Gale when you put down the rebellion?"
Manda nodded, and Yang Luochen asked suspiciously: "Elder Manda, didn't Your Majesty Haoyang tell you, or didn't the eldest princess tell you?"
Manda returned: "No, the old man hasn't seen the royal people for a long time, since the Wushuang Divine Envoy left, the young master royal has never come to the land of the barbarians, and it was only some time ago that I received a letter from the eldest princess, let me pick you up"
Yang Luochen was strange, since the barbarians were very concerned about the death of the hundreds of thousands of people back then, why did Young Master Haoyang and Young Master Kunyao not mention a word, but let him, the party, come in person.
Yang Luochen couldn't guess the thoughts of the young master Kun Yao, but Manda actually asked now, and Yang Luochen could only talk about the events of the year in detail, and it was inconvenient to explain the trade-offs in it, otherwise it would make the majesty of the young master Haoyang reduced.
Yang Luochen talked in detail for a long time, the stone roasted the fish, and distributed it to Manda and Manzhong, but Yang Luochen didn't eat it, and the stone looked puzzled, but Manda said that he would not force it and would not give it to Yang Luochen again.
Yang Luochen was still talking about the events of the year, but Manzhong and Manda listened to it with relish, and Shi didn't care at all.
Until the middle of the day, Yang Luochen finally finished talking about the events of the year, and Manzhong couldn't see any thoughts on his face, but Elder Manda sighed and returned: "Alas, the ghost cultivation of the capital is really hateful, and he actually did such a tragic and bad thing, but fortunately he was put down by the Dingfeng King in time, otherwise I don't know how many people will die."
The barbarian on the side asked, "Great Elder, is it credible?"
Manda nodded, Manzhong looked at Yang Luochen's eyes and then softened a lot, Yang Luochen said: "You don't have to believe all of my words, you can ask your eldest princess, he knows this matter very well from beginning to end."
Manzhong replied: "If the eldest princess is willing to say, we won't ask you."
Yang Luochen said: "After all, this matter is about the royal reputation, those hundreds of thousands of people have already died, rather than dying more people, it is better to send them to where they should go, and there will always be someone to do it."
"I was the Marshal of Gale at the time, commanding an army of millions of Gale, and I had nothing to do with Gale, so I had to do it. After the gale calms down, I don't have any intention of being rich, and I can accept any bad reputation that the royal family puts on my head, and I'm not a worldly person anyway."
When Yang Luochen said this, he looked at Manda strangely, and asked: "Elder Manda, why do you care so much about the hundreds of thousands of people who were killed by the gale? It stands to reason that this kind of thing is just gossip after tea and dinner, but your attitude is completely different from that of the people in the south of Gale."
Manda looked at the fire in front of him and said slowly: "King Dingfeng, the reason why we are very concerned about this matter is because it has something to do with a legend of our barbarians."
The fragrant stone that was eating on the side suddenly listened, and asked, "Great Elder, what barbarian legend do you have to do with Gongzi?"
Manda didn't reply to the stone, just stared at the flames in front of him, and Yang Luochen asked, "Can the Great Elder tell me about it?"
Elder Manda said slowly: "King Dingfeng, this has to start with the origin of the barbarians, and listening to the old man tell you slowly, it is also related to whether you can pass through the Demon City and enter the Demon Capital this time."
As soon as Manda's words were finished, Manzhong suddenly looked at Yang Luochen in surprise and asked, "What's the matter? You really came this time to pass through the Demon City and enter the Demon Capital?"
Yang Luochen nodded, and the barbarian Zhong looked at Manda with a frightened expression, and said: "Great Elder, he is indeed the legendary person, sure enough, he can't be allowed to go to the Demon City, otherwise the barbarian will suffer a catastrophe."
Elder Manda stopped Manzhong's words, and said slowly: "Manzhong, what should come must come, we are guarding this thousand years, when is the head, instead of going on like this, it is better to gamble, the national teacher said, put it to death, in order to be resurrected"
But the barbarian stood up and shouted: "No, if it is at the cost of the safety of the barbarians, I will never agree to die, unless I step on my corpse first."
After saying that, Manzhong left angrily, Yang Luochen looked puzzled, but Manda said: "King Dingfeng, don't be surprised, he has such a temper"
Yang Luochen asked: "Great Elder, what kind of legend is it, why is Elder Barbarian Zhong so angry, does this legend have anything to do with me? But it's impossible, I'm just the first time I've come to the Barbarian Clan."
Manda looked at the fire and said slowly: "There must be a cause and effect, this is a fixed number, you can't hide from it, it's better to face it, the barbarians have been guarding for a thousand years, enough, enough"
Yang Luochen knew the seriousness of the matter when he saw their appearance, but he didn't want to ask, he already deeply felt in his heart that Young Master Kun Yao was cheating him again this time, and there was also the shadow of Taiming inside, and he couldn't help but shudder.
