I never thought that the native in front of me would say this, and my mind was a little foggy for a while, and I looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

The man looked me up and down a few times with a frown, barely making out any expression on the paint on his face, except for his eyes that were occasionally aimed at the Shadow Chasing Sword in my hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, he said, "You are not from the Wushan tribe, and the people of the Wushan tribe do not use long swords to make weapons," he paused at this point, and then said, "If you are from Middle-earth, please go away, and we will not kill you." ”

He is not very fluent in the Central Plains dialect. But it's better said than Ato, and it sounds smoother. But at the end of the day, though, he was a little unconfident, probably still shocked that I had just slapped the horse down. With that, he put down the spear in his hand, beat his horse, and made a way, as if he really let me go.

I thought I had misheard, and I said in disbelief, "Really let us go?"

He pointed to Ramru and Ato, but said, "You are the only one who can go away, and they are not allowed to go away." ”

What did he mean by that? What does it mean that only I can leave, and Ramru and they can't leave? Is it just because I am from the Central Plains? I was confused by him for a while, but I said, "Why can't I leave because I am the only one who can leave, they are my friends?"

He thought for a while and said, "Our Heavenly Wolf tribe has been attached to the Great Song Dynasty, we and you are a family, we can't kill them, they are not from the Central Plains, they can be killed." ”

The Celestial Wolf Clan?

I was a little stunned.

The tribes in the Western Regions are scattered and mixed, and there are often conquests between them, and it is not uncommon for many tribes to join the Great Song Dynasty in order to survive in peace, which I know. But I don't know much about the exchanges between the tribes of the Western Regions and the Great Song Dynasty, and I know that the people who belong to the Great Song Dynasty are only the Shangboyu tribe I saw when I first entered Tibet, and this Heavenly Wolf tribe is the first time I have heard of it.

Did I run into it today?

I heard that every tribe in the Western Regions that is attached to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will seal the official and settle the land, and the patriarch of the larger tribe can even be named the magistrate. In fact, this is no different from the ordinary county town in the Central Plains, enjoying the same treatment, or even better. But even if what this person said is true, this Heavenly Wolf Clan is indeed attached to the Great Song Dynasty, but there is no such an "intimate" method, right? Speaking of which, the talents of their local tribes in the Western Regions are really the same clan and family, could it be that if they belong to the Great Song Dynasty, they are not a family?

People from the Central Plains cannot be killed, but those of the same local clan can be killed, what is the reasoning behind this? But what he said was justified, as if it should have been like this. Is he crazy?

Seeing that I did not speak, the man struck his horse again to block the way out, and said with some uncertainty: "Are you from Middle-earth? As he spoke, he looked at my Shadow Chasing Sword again.

When he said this, I felt a lot more at ease, and I knew that he wouldn't kill me. Eighty percent of what he said was true, otherwise he wouldn't have had to be a stranger to me like this, and I was already tired, and he could see that he would have done it a long time ago if he wanted to kill me. I said, "I am a person from the Central Plains, but if I want to leave, I must take my friends with me, and please make it convenient." ”

The man looked at me and suddenly shouted, "No, they must not go away, if you don't want to go away, don't go!"

He pointed the spear in his hand at me, and the crowd around him raised the spear in unison, as if I was going to hold on any longer, and they immediately stabbed at me. Atto behind him shouted: "God, they won't let us go, you go quickly!"

I turned my head to look. Ramru and Atto were kneeling in the water, looking around with horror on their faces, and Atto could understand what I was saying to the man, but his face was paler than that of Ramru. Between them lay a corpse on its back in the river, as if it had just died, with three bloody holes in its chest, and the blood could no longer flow, but it had stained the river where they were kneeling red.

Another one died. I had a headache in my heart, and I turned my head to look at the person headed by the Heavenly Wolf Department and shouted: "You have already attached to the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't let us leave and anger my people, the iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely break through your tribe!"

I was sure that this man would not kill me easily, and I straightened up as I spoke, with some cruelty. It was only at this time that I deeply realized how high the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty was among the tribes in the Western Regions, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart. However, I also know that the army of the Great Song Dynasty will never crusade against the Western Regions because a Central Plains person died among the tribes of the Western Regions. The people of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe may not believe it, but as soon as I said this, the man named Shou was shocked, and the spear in his hand hung down.

At this time, another Sky Wolf Clansman on a horse brought a horse and whispered something in the ear of the man who led him. The man's expression was grim, but after listening to the man's words, he frowned, nodded slightly, looked at me and said, "Okay, if you don't go away, go back to the clan with us, go to see our patriarch, and he will decide whether you go or stay." Then they turned their horses and ropes, as if to bind us.

I was anxious, knowing that once I went back with them, I was afraid that they would be dead, so I took a step forward and said, "Wait!", and just wanted to say something bluffing like "The Great Song army will kill all your tribes", but I saw a group of them all poking out their spears and putting them on the heads of Ramru and Ato. There was a man from the Celestial Wolf tribe who shot harder, but the spearhead pierced Hogg's forehead but stabbed blood, but Hogg didn't know it, probably frightened stupid.

I only heard the man say, "Don't move, or I'll kill your friend right now." ”

I could never have imagined that they would threaten Ramru and a few people, and I was still lucky, but when I saw them act like this, how could I dare to act rashly? My mind was spinning rapidly, and I pretended to be annoyed, and said, "Okay! I will go back with you if I don't move, but don't hurt my friend." ”

The man's tense body slowed down, looked at me, and then nodded, "Yes." With that, he waved his hand, and several of the Celestial Wolf tribesmen jumped off their horses, holding dirty black ropes in their hands, and began to bind Ramru and Ato.

The black rope they tied looked very soft, and the five flowers tied to them on Ramru were also strong, not like iron chains, and the slightest movement of the tie to the body would open the flesh. After tying up, the man let out a strange roar from his mouth, and the spear in his hand pointed at the downstream of the river, and the people of the surrounding Heavenly Wolf tribe let out a cry in unison, and surrounded us and went down the river.

I was not bound with a rope, and I walked close to Ramru and Ato. They drove us in a semi-encirclement, but many of them kept their spears pointed at me, lest I should prevent a sudden attack and knock down some of their horses. I didn't think about it, and thought to myself what kind of lies I should tell to deceive them when I arrived at their tribe.

Now they don't know my identity, and in this kind of place, I can only bluff them by casually talking about the background of a big official and nobleman, and they won't know about it. It seems that this leader is just following the wishes of the middle and high-ranking members of their Heavenly Wolf Clan, and he only says that he must not mess with the people of the Central Plains, but I think that their patriarch should know the importance of it, and I lied that I am a prominent person in the Central Plains, and they may not be able to do anything to us.

However, thinking about it like this, I am still a little worried in my heart, and I am not sure if this method is feasible.

The river is wet, and the sound of tinkling echoes in the mountains, and in the water there are not only long fish swimming by, but also the branches and leaves of many trees floating on the water. The river has always been shallow, but it doesn't reach our calves, and it's going down the river, so we don't have a hard time. However, two of them were seriously injured, one had a bloody hole in his waist, and the other had a wound on his leg, so he had to stop and bandage it for a while, and then hurried again.

They don't care about these wounds, do they? They just don't care about whether they can survive today.

None of us spoke along the way.

After seven or eight turns in the river, at dusk the river in front of us suddenly split into two forks. Looking from afar, I saw a large walled gate standing in the middle of two bifurcating rivers.

We walked towards the foot of the gate.

This gate is five zhang high, is made of green bamboos tied into a row, and there is a thick curved log on the top, which is just right to fit the two bamboo doors. In the middle of the log is hung a huge skull that looks like a cow but not a cow, like a sheep but not a sheep, the skull has been exposed to the wind and sun has been black and yellow spots, faintly visible traces of minced meat, blood and fire, I don't know what kind of beast the head is, its two horns are both curved and long, hanging on the door, the two eye sockets are narrow and long, at first glance it is a fierce look. The two sides of the gate were made of large stones, as if they had been deliberately cut, and the gaps between the stone cracks were very small, and the combination was dense, unlike the sparse and sparse walls of Ramru. The stone wall is three feet high, stretching long on both sides, and is shaded by clumps of lush trees. Before we reached the foot of the gate, seventeen or eighteen dark-skinned faces were poking out of the stone wall, watching us non-stop.

As soon as we reached the foot of the gate, a man on the stone wall shouted at us, and the man behind me led him stepped forward, pulled out a miserable white three-inch bone tooth from his waist, and threw it at the man on the stone wall.

The man took the bone teeth, but turned his head and shouted again into the stone wall, and only then did the bamboo door in front of us slowly open.

I watched in amazement. They were originally an indigenous tribe, and even entered the gate as if they could only enter and exit the city gate with a token in hand. In the Central Plains, once the city gate is closed, no one can enter or leave unless they have an entry token in hand. Could it be that this is also due to the reason why the Heavenly Wolf Clan has attached themselves to the Great Song Dynasty? But no matter how I look at it, I think it's a bit indecent for them to do this.

At this moment, the man riding the horse behind me turned his head and said, "Go in, this is our Heavenly Wolf's stockade." ”
