"Nuotie, do you know, the situation was in crisis after I was arrested, I thought about dying at that time, and then I ......"

"Nuo Tie, you don't know how powerful they are Brother Feng, the 'Fire Scorpion' Sand Pirate Troupe, there are more than a hundred people, Brother Feng and the two of them rushed into the camp with one sword and killed them all......"

"Baruch, do you know, Brother Feng has great skills, you see this is me he carved in stone, how about it, like it......"

After the aftermath of the catastrophe and the joy of the encounter, the group buried the fallen warriors on the spot, retrieved the sand camels that had fled far away, and then embarked on the return journey while the sun was still rising.

After the initial sadness of the desert people was over, Grisanna regained her cheerful and lively temperament and told the tribal warriors about her situation. Later, she shouted one by one Brother Feng, her mouth was full of what Brother Feng had done, and Nuo Tie's face became more and more ugly, and Li Changfeng smiled bitterly.

The stone figure was just made by Li Changfeng with shaping, but it was slightly humanoid, and it could barely be seen to be a woman, just like Grisanna said that she was specially carved, but if she wanted to say this, no one could do anything.

Li Changfeng is not blind, so he can naturally see Nuo Tie's stinky face that is about to drip water. He also wanted to have a good relationship with the Sand People to inquire about things, so he naturally didn't want to have a stiff relationship with them now, so he glanced at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng is such a clever person, he hurriedly instigated the sand camel and Glishanna to talk and divert the topic.

......

The ancient city of Yuema.

This is a semi-ruined ancient city, the area is not large, only the area of no more than five miles, not so much a city, but a large village. Today, this ancient city, once the most famous and mysterious city in the desert, has been flooded by the desert yellow sand, and the city walls are also dilapidated, and in some places even collapsed to reveal gaps. This is where Grisanna's tribe, the Sandman and the Qituo tribe, live.

At dusk, Li Changfeng and Zhang Cheng, Glishanna, Nuotie and other tribal warriors came to the front of this ruined city that exuded a desolate ancient meaning. Along the way, there are sentry posts of Qituo warriors at each commanding height, using whistles and other objects to transmit the news of their arrival back to the settlement.

Li Changfeng stopped to look, and saw that the city wall was about seven or eight meters high, made of large blocks of sandstone, and it was covered with arrow holes, sword marks, axe marks, and traces of smoke and fire, and it was obvious that he had experienced more than one war. The gate was ten meters wide, and it was patched with iron sheets, which were supposed to be wooden structures covered with fragments of iron sheets. There is a small section of the city wall to the right of the city gate, which is believed to have been damaged and collapsed during the war, and was blocked by the Qituo people with huge logs.

A dull and desolate trumpet sounded, and the gates of the city were suddenly opened, and a group of people walked through it, led by an old man of forty or fifty years old, who was none other than Grisanna's father, the Grand Elder of the Enlightenment Division.

Although Li Changfeng and his entourage were not many, there were more than 200 horses and sand camels, which occupied a large area in front of the city gate, bringing people a heavy sense of depression. The hundreds of Qituo warriors surrounding the city gate did not say a word, but just stared at them.

Then Bran and the other two middle-aged people who were also supposed to be elders did not greet them.

Li Changfeng and Zhang Cheng dismounted from the camel and stood in accordance with the sand people etiquette taught to them by Grisanna, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and pointed their swords to the sky, showing their respect to the elders for the warriors.

They stopped ten meters in front of the caravan.

Bran's face was full of excitement, and he suddenly took two steps forward and stretched out his arms, and said in a trembling voice:

"Grisanna, my little lamb, you are finally home!"

Grisanna was already in tears, and at this moment she rushed over and hugged her father's neck like a milk swallow, crying loudly.

After a long time, the panic after parting was released in the cry, and Grisanna reluctantly let go of her father. On the other side, Nuo Tie and the others had already told the two elders about what happened outside this time, and one of the particularly tall, thin and sturdy elders walked up to Ze Bran's side and said a few words in a low voice, and Ze Bran glanced at Li Changfeng with emotion when he heard this. Then the three of them took a few steps back and stood side by side, raised their right hands together and shouted:

"I, Minister Qituo, Zebulan, Totogue, and Zorger, on behalf of the Qituo tribe of the Sandren tribe, pay tribute to the heroes who rescued my people, and welcome you, distinguished guest. ”

As the words fell, the hundreds of Qituo warriors behind raised their weapons and shouted loudly, a total of nine drinks and nine moves, which is the etiquette that the Sand People only have to greet the most distinguished guests.

The welcome dinner was held in a large open space in the city where the clansmen usually gathered, and more than 2,000 men, women, and children from all over the tribe sat on the ground in nearly 100 large circles. A bonfire is lit in the center of the enclosure, and the lamb is grilled, and the aroma is overflowing. The wine served on the horns passed through the crowd, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

The people who are responsible for delivering water, wine, and meat are all beautiful women from the Qituo Department, they have ** figures, light masks, and flying poplars between the corners of their skirts, like butterflies wearing flowers and butterflies in the crowd, which makes Zhang Cheng simply dazzled.

Suddenly, the sound of music played by instruments such as the bearded flute sounded, and the lively voices were silent. In the large open space specially set aside in the center, a group of Qituo beauties dressed in costumes and light veils began to dance, dancing smartly and pleasantly, making people unconsciously intoxicated.

Suddenly, the music changed, the rhythm accelerated, and the beauties who had been dancing in a circle suddenly spread out like flowers blooming, revealing a dancer in the middle, with a perfect figure, wearing a bold **, a long skirt on the lower body, and a tight coat that only covered the breasts, revealing a half-cut waist, and the lower end of the small coat hung with golden tassels, and the skirt flew between the dances, the tassels flew, and the whole body twisted flexibly with the rhythm of the music, and made various extremely difficult, but extremely beautiful movements like water waves, and everyone was stunned for a while.

Li Changfeng admired in his heart: With such a dance, I am afraid that even the blind will open their eyes. After looking closely, I saw that the dancer was full of discernment, and although her face was faintly outstanding under the light veil, Li Changfeng, who was already very familiar with her, recognized it at a glance that it was Grisanna.

The music gradually stopped, the dancers retreated one after another, people breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene became lively again, and all kinds of entertainment were staged, wrestling, shouting and laughing shook the sky.

Then Bran and the tall and thin elder were out of character to accompany Li Changfeng, and they couldn't stop persuading him to drink and eat.

Totogue used a dagger in the mutton plate, cut a piece of hot lamb leg meat, inserted it and handed it to Li Changfeng, and said with a smile:

"How is it, are you still satisfied with the 'Heavenly Spirit Dance' of the beauties of my Qituo Department?"

Li Changfeng took the mutton and replied with a smile:

"It's not just satisfaction, such a dance is really rare in the world, you see, in the face of such a beautiful dance, even the moon is ashamed to see people. ”

A cloud drifted by, blocking the moon. When Totogue and Zebran heard this, they all laughed. Bran, in particular, is as proud as a depot.

Detachment is also a man with eyes, and then laughs quietly:

"Do you know who is leading the dance?"

Li Changfeng didn't know what to do, and replied with a smile:

"You must have invited the fairies in the sky to dance to the earth, you have a lot of face in the Qituo Department!"

Detachment couldn't control it for a while, a mouthful of wine squirted out of his mouth, quickly turned his head and wiped his mouth with his hand, and laughed:

"What kind of fairy in the sky, that's our 'pearl of the desert', Ze Bran's precious heart, Grisanna!"

Li Changfeng looked motionless, took a sip of wine and replied:

"It turns out that it is not a fairy in the sky, but a fairy in the mortal world!"

Totogue shook his head and laughed, giving him a thumbs up. Although Bran did not speak, his ears were straight to listen, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with laughter at the moment.

"Brother Feng, what makes you so happy, I'm happy to say it. ”

Grisanna changed her clothes, held a corner of wine in her hand, and stood behind her with a smile and said.

Zebran looked back and smiled:

"Come quickly, my little lamb, and toast the life-saving benefactor with a glass of wine. ”

Grisanna smiled silently, and just handed the horn in her hand to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng took it with a smile and drank it all. For a moment, the girl's unique aroma seemed to dissolve into the wine, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

............

Notie was very bored, and a feeling of not knowing what to do was good made him feel as if he had a breath in his chest and didn't know how to vent, so he could only drink desperately, trying to get himself drunk in order to escape from it all. However, today's wine seemed to have lost its proper function, and the more he drank, the more sober he became, and his eyes unconsciously aimed to the other side.

Over there, Grisanna was whispering to Li Changfeng, smiling lightly, and sometimes pouring a full bottle of wine in front of him, blooming like a flower beside him.

Seeing that his jealousy was burning with jealousy, he could no longer restrain his impulse, and he took a corner of wine and strode towards them.

When he came to Li Changfeng, he said loudly:

"I, Nuo Tie, on behalf of the tribal warriors who have received the grace of Tute to save their lives, respect the distinguished guests with a corner of wine, and swear to the heavens that we will remember Li Tute's kindness forever, but if you have something, you will move forward!"

Turt is an honorific title for the Sand Tribe's warriors of the Outer Race, and only those who are brave and have been of great help to the Sand People can get this title, but Notie called this title so prominently at this time, in fact, it also reminds Glishana that he is just a foreigner. However, the desert people made a very heavy promise, and he swore at this time that if he had something to do with Li Changfeng, they would move forward bravely, even if they would lose their lives.

All the tribal warriors who had survived the attack of the sand exhaustion also came over one by one at this time and toasted with a toast. Li Changfeng stood up with a smile in his cup, returned the salute slightly, and drank all the wine in the horn cup.

Nuo Tie drank the wine in the cup, and saw that Grisanna's eyes were always revolving around Li Changfeng, but she never threw a glance at him, she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, stretched out her hand to wipe the wine stains on her mouth, and said loudly:

"Li Tute, I know that your martial arts are superb and extraordinary, I am willing to ask Tute for a fair competition as the first warrior of the Qituo tribe to prove who is the real first warrior!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd burst into applause, and the atmosphere was warm. The desert environment is harsh, and people rarely have entertainment, so they are all brave and ruthless, and they respect the brave the most, and fair competition is also a way to divide the status.

Li Changfeng was unaware, this kind of unprovoked competition was really not what he wanted, but seeing that although Nuo Tie was talking to him, his eyes glanced at Grisanna from time to time, and he suddenly understood: Nuo Tie wanted to defeat himself, as long as he was defeated, his image would naturally be greatly discounted in Grisanna's heart, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The desert people respect the brave, if they refuse, it will undoubtedly be a great contempt for the other party, and it will also make people look down on them, and after a moment of silence, Li Changfeng replied solemnly:

"I respect the warriors of the Qida tribe, so I am willing to accept this fair fight. ”

The surrounding Qituo tribesmen screamed in unison, and suddenly shouted in unison, raised their right hands high, and drank eight times in a row. This is the salute of the sandman tribe to the outsiders, which means that the other party is recognized as a friend, and the more times, the deeper the respect, at most ten drinks and ten actions.
