Chapter 1010: Sejuani's questioning
In Winterclaw's tent, Sejuani waved her hand to signal the warrior to step back after listening to the soldier's report on casualties.
She was the only one left in the tent, and the look on Sejuani's face, which was more resolute than many men, faded into a tired countenance.
Taking off her heavy helmet and setting it aside, she twisted her stiff neck and moved her joints after a day of fighting. Untying the tendons that bound her long hair, her waterfall hair fell over her shoulders.
In a tired state, Sejuani is not as heroic as she usually is in front of people, but a little more delicate as a woman.
"Hoo ......"
Looking through the tent at the darkness of the night outside, Sejuani let out a long breath and took off her armor.
Just as she was about to lie down to rest, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the wound on her shoulder. Staring at the wound in a daze, Sejuani's mind flashed back to the scene of the day's arrow.
"Ash ......"
Ash's name came out between her lips and teeth, and Sejuani's tone was mixed with a trill, which showed that she hated Ash to the core.
Raising her head again and exhaling a cloudy breath, Sejuani stopped thinking about Ash, and lay down on the bunk with a thud, and fell asleep on her side.
The sleepiness was still coming, and Sejuani's heart thumped for no reason. Her nerves tensed instantly, and she reached under the pillow with her right hand to take out a small knife, and threw it at the position of the tent with lightning speed.
The moment the knife cut through the tent, a dark shadow appeared outside the tent in Sejuani's grim sight.
"Shhh...... Sejuani, why are you throwing knives at me! ”
An abrupt grumble came from outside the tent at the right time, and at the sound of the familiar voice, Sejuani's guard was lowered.
Although she let down her guard, she still maintained the same cold color as usual.
Lighting the oil lamp in front of the small table, Sejuani said to the black shadow standing outside the tent: "Ye Feng, come in!"
Sure enough, under Sejuani's gaze, Ye Feng's figure holding his arms slowly walked in.
"Shhh...... Sejuani, you're too alert, I was about to shout to see if you were asleep, and you stabbed me in the arm! ”
Ye Feng's words of complaining about her did not exchange for the fluctuation of the expression on her face, she just glanced at the knife still stuck in Ye Feng's arm casually, and sighed.
"Oh."
Smelling Sejuani's bland "oh", the corners of Ye Feng's mouth twitched slightly, but he was hurt by her, and he just gave him a perfunctory sound.
But thinking about Sejuani's temperament like this, Ye Feng was relieved again. Sighing helplessly, he adjusted his bad state of mind and sat down across from Sejuani with a grin.
Seeing that there was still half a cup of warm water on the table, he was just thirsty and drank it without even thinking about it.
His act of picking up the wooden cup landed in Sejuani's eyes, which clearly caused Sejuani's mood to fluctuate.
The pure blue pupils without impurities flashed a faint strange light, and Sejuani frowned and tried to stop Ye Feng from drinking her water, but in the end she couldn't open her mouth.
Putting down the cup, Ye Feng immediately spoke: "Sejuani, I came to you this time to ask if you have any ideas for making peace with Ash?"
Sejuani thought that Ye Feng was looking for her so late because there was something important, but when she heard what Ye Feng said, she almost didn't punch Ye Feng to death in front of her to persuade her to make peace.
Remembering that she and Ye Feng were now allies, Sejuani resisted the urge to beat Ye Feng violently, suppressed her anger and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Feeling the anger faintly revealed in Sejuani's words, Ye Feng subconsciously shuddered, a little afraid to continue the topic.
But thinking of his mission to Freljord this time, he still stubbornly said: "Sejuani, I'm not kidding you, I'm serious!"
"Oh?" The tone suddenly rose, and Sejuani said in a cold tone: "It's really a shame that you came up with it, it's impossible for me to make peace with Ash!"
"Although I haven't seen the battle between your two clans before, but this time I found that both of you have suffered heavy casualties, and it seems that you can't tell the winner for a while, even if one of you wins, it will only be a tragic victory, it is better to negotiate peace, which is conducive to the continuation of your clan."
Want her to make peace with Ash, who attacked her tribe? Ye Feng is probably dreaming of an idiot!
Moreover, Ye Feng's move of letting her negotiate peace also seriously shook her trust in him, Sejuani sneered: "War will inevitably suffer casualties and sacrifices, if you don't even have this bit of psychological preparation, I think the alliance between us may be able to put it aside for a while, I seriously doubt now that you and the alliance behind you are ready to sacrifice for a long time with the demons; If you're not prepared, I won't trust you with the back of Winter's Claws! ”
Unexpectedly, his kind proposal not only did not get Sejuani's consent, but made Sejuani furious and wanted to re-examine the alliance between them.
It was not easy to win Sejuani's trust, and Ye Feng didn't want to ruin his efforts because of this incident. He explained: "Sejuani, I'm just ......"
"Naïve...... Naive, Ye Feng, stop this topic like this! Without giving Ye Feng a chance to continue, Sejuani stared at Ye Feng who wanted to explain to him with burning eyes.
Seeing that Sejuani didn't give him a chance to explain at all, Ye Feng was also so anxious that he couldn't speak: "Sejuani, I ...... it"
"Why can't you speak?" Sejuani approached Ye Feng aggressively, and grabbed Ye Feng's collar with her right hand domineeringly.
"Hmph, don't just try to persuade me to make peace, think about whether you yourself have deceived me as my ally? You told me before you made an alliance with me that you and Ash had no contact, and that was the basis for my last promise to form an alliance with you! ”
Sejuani never likes to beat around the bush, and she is also blunt about her dissatisfaction with Ye Feng's performance today.
"And you're my ally, you don't think about my interests, you even let my clan make peace with Avarosa, who attacked us, I really can't think of how you have such a stupid idea!"
"You know that we both have suffered heavy casualties from this war, do you think we will easily resolve our blood feud as you have verbally said? Use your mind and think, idiot! ”
"If it weren't for the fact that I had won my trust before you did, someone else would have said this to me, that person would have been dead, get out!"
Sejuani's series of fierce words that split her head and covered her face were like a storm, and Ye Feng, who was criticized, looked stunned.
He had been driven out of the camp by Sejuani in a daze, and had not recovered from the fierce criticism he had just received until he returned to his own tent to lie down and rest.
Lying on his bed, Ye Feng was completely sleepy.
"Is my idea really naïve?"
