"The country of Qingqiu? this, how is this possible? I have never heard of such a place in Huaxia!"

Si Jinyan said incredulously.

"This is the ancestral land of all fox clans?"

Ying Ning couldn't help but be surprised.

And just when they were about to ask something more, they saw the young woman's face suddenly tighten, and she immediately said in a very low voice:

"Stop talking, they're coming!"

Immediately, the sound of gongs and drums slowly came to the entrance of the village outside the house.

Hearing the sound, Si Jinyan and Ying Ning hurriedly closed their mouths, and then peeked out through the crack in the window of the house.

But I saw a group of people wearing yellow leather armor and holding spears who looked like ancient soldiers, and they were the first to come into view.

This was followed by a giant gong and a big man with a huge leather drum, beating his instrumental music.

And these people, like the villagers at the entrance of the village, also have a slender and sharp fox face.

The only difference is that there are two fluffy fox tails behind these people, swaying in the wind!

And just behind these people, a giant pangolin covered in scales and the size of an adult tiger walked over majestically.

On the back of this giant beast, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade robe was sitting proudly on the saddle.

And behind this middle-aged man, there are three fox tails, swinging in the air!

Obviously, this man is the highest ranking person in the Praetorian Guard.

And just behind the middle-aged man, a huge black carriage was slowly pulled forward by four giant pangolins.

Suddenly, seeing that this group of people had come to the entrance of the village, the fox-faced old man hurriedly led many villagers behind him to step forward, bent down deeply to the three-tailed middle-aged man sitting on the pangolin, and bowed in unison with great respect:

"Villagers of Peach Blossom Village, meet the general. ”

And the three-tailed middle-aged man, who was originally just a small leader of the Praetorian Guard, was suddenly called a general but was also very useful, and then nodded his head highly:

"Well, get up. ”

"Your Excellency General Xie. ”

After thanking him again, the fox-faced old man and the other villagers carefully straightened up.

"I don't know why the general came to our wilderness village today?"

The fox-faced old man asked as if walking on thin ice.

"Hmph, what is Lord Ben doing, do I still need to report to you!"

The three-tailed middle-aged man snorted proudly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare little old man be rude to the general. ”

The fox-faced old man explained with a shudder.

"Hmph, forgive me for not having the guts!"

The middle-aged man riding on the back of the pangolin snorted contemptuously again, and then said impatiently:

"I'll tell you the truth, Lord Ben is here today to receive the sacrifices!

Hurry up and hand over the people and animals in your village, and Lord Ben will rush back to the capital to restore his life!"

Hearing this, all the villagers present couldn't help but show unprecedented fear.

The young woman in the house at the head of the village also trembled instantly, and her face was bloodless.

And at this moment, the fox-faced old man said in amazement:

"Great, my lord, are you mistaken? Isn't it a few more years before the deadline for handing over sacrifices and animals? Why do you ...... now?"

"Presumptuous! A low-level one-tailed outcast, even dares to question Lord Ben, who is a three-tailed nobleman, I don't think you old thing wants to live anymore!"

The middle-aged man angrily interrupted the fox-faced old man's words, and the three long tails behind him danced wildly!

Immediately, a huge momentum suddenly spread.

And for this coercion from the bloodline, the superior to the inferior, many villagers in the audience couldn't help but tremble.

"Bang!bang!bang......"

Immediately, everyone, including the fox-faced old man, knelt on the ground one by one, without the slightest power to resist.

"Please calm your anger, the little old man doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. ”

The fox-faced old man suddenly begged for mercy with great sadness.

"Hmph, if you dare to say a word to Lord Ben, Lao Tzu will arrest you all as sacrifices!"

The middle-aged man snorted arrogantly, and the three tails behind him quieted down.

Feeling the coercion from the blood disappearing, the villagers kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them dared to stand up.

For a moment, everyone lowered their heads in resignation, trembling all over, and did not dare to say another word.

Seeing this, the three-tailed middle-aged man nodded contemptuously and smiled:

"Hehe, that's just like the words, waste should have the appearance of waste. ”

Hearing these extremely humiliating words, many villagers did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, although they were full of resentment in their hearts.

"Well, I'm not the kind of stingy person, so I'll tell you the truth.

The reason why Lord Ben came to receive the sacrifices and animals in advance today was because the Spirit Ancestor suddenly woke up early yesterday.

And for some unknown reason, he became very irritable and angry.

And in order to appease the Spirit Ancestor and make him fall into a deep sleep again, he must offer fresh flesh and soul as soon as possible.

So now you guys know why Ben-sama, who has been entrusted with such a heavy task, is here today. ”

The three-tailed middle-aged man looked at him proudly.

Hearing this, the fox-faced old man kneeling on the ground and other villagers couldn't help but be shocked and sad.

It turned out that the so-called Spirit Ancestor had actually woken up in advance, no wonder this talisman-like Praetorian Guard would come so early......

"Okay, where are the people and animals in your village? Now hurry up and hand them over! If you delay the major state affairs, you all have to be buried together!"

The middle-aged man of the three tails snorted impatiently.

However, the villagers who knelt on the ground still bowed their heads, and all of them refused to point out who was the person in their village who had been designated as a sacrifice.

Seeing this rebellious scene, the middle-aged man riding on the pangolin suddenly changed his face.

And just when he was thunderous and angry, the three fox tails behind him began to sway again, ready to make these wastes who didn't know how to lift them pay the price they deserved.

"Wait!"

An anxious cry suddenly came from a big tree at the entrance of the village.

Immediately, a sensitive thin figure suddenly jumped off the tree and landed on the ground.

But it's the little shepherd boy!

"I, I'm that human animal, you take me away, don't hurt Ah Gong and them. ”

The little shepherd boy endured the fear in his heart and resolutely admitted.

"Prisoner, who asked you to come out and talk nonsense, go back to me!"

The fox-faced old man scolded anxiously, and then desperately said to the three-tailed middle-aged man as if pleading:

"My lord, in fact, the little old man is a human animal in this village, let's go now. ”

With that, the fox-faced old man stood up tremblingly and looked back at the little shepherd boy deeply.

"Live well. ”

Then he walked towards the Praetorian Guard without hesitation.
