Chapter 489: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (18)
Shanyue Shengman is still a tribal clan system, that is to say, although the barbarian king Wu Feng is the patriarch, there is also a considerable part of the power, which is in the hands of the tribal elders. It's just that because the snakehead has always had a high prestige in the sect, and the daughter is still a close disciple of the elder, the head of the Shan Yue Xindu Sect has always been consistent with the decision-making of the snakehead. And there has never been a situation like this directly opposing the snakehead, so as soon as the elder's words came out, the blackhead was stunned.
"What does the elder mean by that?" The snakehead looked at the head minister who was standing together with a calm face, and asked in a cold voice, "Could it be that even you think I did something wrong?" ”
"This ......" The elder did not directly answer the snakehead's question, but instead glanced at the brute standing beside him with a faint smile, and nodded imperceptibly.
"You're right! Under your leadership, at least everyone can eat, and there is no need to exchange their lives for food, how can there be a mistake? The one who answered the snakehead was not the patriarch in strange costumes, but the barbarians who had just been reprimanded by the snakeheads, only to see the barbarians at this time, where was there still half a minute ago in front of the snakehead to be trained, and in the eyes that were already full of madness, there were a few more things that could be called ambition at this moment, and he said with a sneer on his lips: "It's just that the patriarch is too old!" It's so old that it's already in the way of too many people! Originally, if you honestly married Ume to me, although you would still die, maybe you might die a little more peacefully, but unfortunately, God will not give you! Yan Baihu's stupid thing was easily broken by the Sun family, but you want to hook up with that Qin Xu, if you continue like this, won't we also be like those traitors of our own clan, and be called a familiar barbarian by the world? You are a sinner in your tribe too! ”
"Huh! I see! I see! But don't say it so righteously! I really didn't expect that you, the elders, were the people I trusted the most, and would be the first to oppose me! Presumably at the time of the sacrifice. That's the idea, right? It's just that the Han official surnamed Qin broke your trick! The snakehead paused for a moment, rubbing the strangely shaped scepter in his hand, and glanced around to see the clansmen who had been respectful to him before. At this moment, there was a lot of unfamiliar feeling in his eyes, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips, and he said to the elder of the same sect of Mandu: "Oh, there is also Yan Baihu!" I remember that you were the two of you who urged me to watch from the wall and not meddle in the affairs of the Han people, right? I said that Yan Baihu was in Huiji and Wu County at the beginning, but he was attacked and defeated by Sun Ce in less than a month, so I can't say that it is also due to your credit, right? And today, Ume is missing, but you are trying your best to rush and I will follow your troops to find it, presumably you have already arranged it, right? ”
"Humph! Snakehead! You don't have to try to use such words! Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Yes, Umei's escape is indeed a little trick by the elders and me, your daughter has such a strange appearance, but I didn't expect her brain to be as stupid as yours. With a small plan, we rushed to follow the elder's plan, which really helped us a lot! The barbarian soldiers around him glanced at him, and gradually formed a circle in the temporary camp of Qin Xu's army, approaching the barbarian king snakehead, faintly blocking all retreats.
"Looks like you've already taken refuge?" The old face of the snakehead only regained its composure after an initial flash of panic. Just like when Qin Xu's army crossed the border, although he was intimidated by the momentum of the soldiers of the Qingzhou soldiers and the Danyang soldiers, he could still retain the majesty of being the head of a clan. Even at this moment, when he might be added by sword soldiers at any time, the snakehead, as a barbarian king, still tried his best to maintain his majesty, and changed the topic and asked.
"It seems a little late. But your vision is still good! Hearing the words of the snakehead, Mandu and the elders of the new capital glanced at each other, and each other's eyes showed a bit of banter. Mandu stood beside the elder of Xindu and said triumphantly: "So far, for the sake of you almost becoming my father-in-law." It doesn't hurt to tell you. Do you think that with my brute strength, I am really willing to be the first warrior of the Rausch Sect under you? Do you think that with the more than 1,000 troops that Sun Ce had conquered Wu County and Huiji, how could he defeat Yan Baihu, who had an army of nearly 20,000, and flee in just one month? ”
"So it's you?" Listening to the arrogant words, the snakehead's eyes narrowed. It was the defeat of Yan Baihu, the famous king of Eastern Wude, at the hands of Sun Ce so quickly, that made the snakehead hesitate for a moment when he faced Qin Xu's blunt words to find trouble with Sun Ce, and finally although he still looked at Yan Baihu's "face" and let Qin Xu go, but for Sun Ce, who had beaten Yan Baihu to the ground and fled in a short period of time, his scruples were not reduced at all, so it was also when he learned that Wumei was missing, and the elders of Xindu said that it was very likely that he would go with Qin Xu, and the snakehead went out of the mountain with Mandu and others to chase after him without saying a word. In order to find Ume before the two armies fought, but unexpectedly hit the reason for the trick of the two. At this moment, the snakehead no longer understands the cause and effect, so he has really wronged the position of the barbarian king for decades.
It is no wonder that this clan sacrifice wanted to recall all the people who patrolled the mountains, and suggested that a heavy ambush should be laid outside the sacrificial ground; No wonder when Yan Baihu appeared, these two people were in such a strange state at that time, and Mandu even used his own prestige in the sect to persuade himself to provoke a fight with Qin Xu's army. It seems that all the purpose is to delay the pace of Qin Xu's army to Yuzhang. And seeing that the young general sent by Qin Xu won with the "help" of his precious daughter, as Mandu said, he used a plan to take himself out of the mountain.
The snakehead has figured it all out now. Although the two elders of Mandu and Xindu have a certain prestige in the sect and have a lot of ironcores, they are still patriarchs after all. If you are in the mountains, you can't do yourself any harm at all.
Now it's different. With the cause of Wumei's escape, the snakehead loves his daughter, and in the case of a goal, he must go out of the mountain to find it, so that he can not only kill the snakehead unknowingly, but also blame the matter on the head of Qin Xu who "abducted" Wumei, even if Qin Xu benefits this time, it can also lead the clansmen of Shanyue Xindu to transfer all their hatred to Qin's head, and he is brutal with the elders of Xindu, on the one hand, he can remove obstacles and control the clan completely, and there is a "criminal record" of the snakehead, and the living conditions of the clansmen are much better, Therefore, the matter of attaching himself to Sun Ce will not cause the disgust of too many people in the clan. On the one hand, he can ask for a reward in front of his master, and remove a hidden danger for Yuzhang and even Jiangdong, which is really a bird with one stone!
"Okay, no further ado. The patriarch wouldn't be waiting for someone to come down from the sky to save your life, would he? What are you still doing in a daze? The snakehead is dead, and I am the new barbarian king of the Xindu Sect! In the saying of the Han people, you will be the minister of the dragon! Besides, everyone will know afterwards that the snakehead died at the hands of the Han Qin Xu, and it has nothing to do with you, I'm afraid of a bird! The brute said in a strange tone, and he sneered and glanced at the Shanyue barbarians who had surrounded the snakeheads, but found that the barbarians who had just looked murderous were a little cowering at the moment, holding the hand of the brute knife. They were all a little trembling. After all, the snakehead is a figure who has been sitting on the seat of the barbarian king for decades, although he is in a desperate situation at the moment, he is still in the aftermath, these people were the barbarians of the Xindu before, but they were instigated by the barbarians and the elders of the Xindu. Only today's events, don't look at the ruthlessness of the race one by one when the brute showed his fangs, but when it was time to move the real thing, the gang became timid again, and when they caught a glimpse of the disdain in the eyes of the snakehead who was a little desperate, the brute almost screamed angrily.
"All TM a bunch of trash!" Mandu spat fiercely, and saw that it was obviously a dying snakehead. Unexpectedly, relying only on his own momentum, he caught these dozens of young men and herds, and when the eyes of the snakehead looked over, even the brute was subconsciously stunned in his heart. The tiger is still threatening, not to mention that despite his rebellious behavior, he almost became the son-in-law of the snakehead before. Although the snakehead is now in the bag, this coercion is still real and ubiquitous. This feeling made the brute unhappy very much, and even noticed that the Xindu elders on the side looked at him with a look of disappointment in their eyes. This is not a good sign, after all, whether it is "inheriting" the position of the barbarian king of the sect or contacting his own master. To a large extent, it depends on this elder, if he is weak at this moment, it is unknown whether he can finally fall into his hands if he can covet the position that he originally coveted! Thinking of this, the brute almost didn't even have time to think about it, and the back molars bit violently, and when he raised the brute knife in his hand, the place caused by the blade was where the head of the snakehead was standing trembling on the spot.
"Whoosh! ...... "It seems to be particularly popular these days for archery masters to use arrows in their hands instead of whatever they do. Just when the blade of the barbarian general and the snakehead were on the snakehead, and the barbarian king also felt that the general situation was gone, and when he clenched the scepter in his hand and slowly closed his old eyes, an arrow came from nowhere, and it happened to hit the wrist of the brute. It's also a loss that although the barbarians are not good at martial arts, they only rely on brute force to fight with the magic of the gods, but they are also battle-hardened characters, and their luck is really good. Just when the arrow was about to hit the vital point of the wrist, it was almost a conditioned reflex, and it was hard to retract the forward and downward splitting momentum, but to turn around, between the electric light and flint, the handle of the knife was horizontal, so that the flying arrow hit the handle of the brute knife made after soaking it in oil with the mountain vine rose, and the strength of the flying arrow, when the brute knife in the hand of the brute was hardly knocked out more than a few feet, with a clang, it fell to the ground.
"Who?" This change almost scared half of the three souls and six spirits of the brute degree, and a little cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead. It is true that he has the skill of divine fighting, but no matter how powerful his ability to resist blows, it is not that King Kong is indestructible, and if he is shot by this arrow, he will leave two holes in his body. And judging from the strength and accuracy of the arrows, it is not difficult for the archers to want to live savagely.
"Heh, they all say that the mountain people are simple, but I didn't expect that among these people, there would be such a dirty thing, which is really an eye-opener!" The sound of the horse's hooves flashed like thunder, and the first man immediately had a fine iron spear hanging from the ring of his wings, two iron halberds hanging upside down from his back, and in his hand he still held a huge bow two arms long, and the bowstring trembled with the man's words......
