Ji Ye stood at the main seat and looked at the banquet. Wu Gen looked up at the banquet in astonishment. Others also turned their attention to the direction where the sound came from.
The person who spoke was a woman, Murong Yuqiang, who had a nice name. Unexpectedly, when everyone finally calmed down the atmosphere, this woman who looked as gentle and fragrant as nephrite jade would suddenly come up with such a question. suggestion.
Wu Gen was a little confused for a moment. Is this Murong Yuqiang a fool? After all, your eldest sister has married Ji Chen. According to Beizhou, she is like a relative of the emperor. At this time, her elbow is a little crooked.
Gu Yangsi looked dumbfounded. He persuaded Lu Lie. At this time, Murong Yuqiang appeared again. The key is that her relationship with the Ji family is not normal. What should I do?
The wind blew through the tent, making the felt rustle.
"Quack, quack." Several birds flew through the air, seeming to laugh at the group of silly geese below.
"Second Young Master, although you have a good impression of the human race, it is better for us herdsmen to abide by some of the rules." Murong Yuqiang seemed not to be aware of the awkward atmosphere around her, and still suggested softly.
"Murong Yuqiang." Ji Ye's tone became serious. Today's banquet was held for various families. The Lu family might have stirred up trouble. Unexpectedly, the Murong family also jumped out.
"you......"
"I would like to ask Miss Murong how much grain and grass each family brought here, and whether the grain and grass can resist when they are threshed." Wu Genji sat on the ground, holding a leg of lamb in his left hand and a wine flask in his right hand, interrupting Ji Ye's words.
"My Murong family brought ten people, and the same applies to other families. As for whether Gucao can resist, of course it can. If the shepherd is defeated by Gucao, then he deserves it, and." Murong Yuqiang paused and replied. road,
"This Gucao can get a sign of pardon. No one can detain him anymore and he can walk freely in Kuntian Continent."
"Is it okay to kill someone with grain and grass?" Wu Gen swallowed a large piece of meat and tilted his head to look at Murong Yuqiang. After hesitating for a moment, Murong Yu Qiangfang said: "There has never been such a precedent in the past, it is best not to kill him."
"I don't think so. Just beat him to death. I'm not good enough and I was hit by a tailless sheep. Is it possible that a group of people will go up and chop down the sheep? When have we shepherds ever been so incompetent and shameless? I think everyone You might as well make a written statement. If you are killed by Gucao, you are doing it yourself and have nothing to do with Gucao. On the contrary, this Gucao must be protected and let some trash who imitates the weak behavior of the human race all day long see that they have lost their ancestors' What happened to this thing?" Lu Lie said yes, and he jumped to the center of the field, looking around, spittle flying everywhere.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yangsi, Cang Yi and others all looked a bit ugly. They usually like to hang out with poets, drink friends, burn incense and hang paintings, etc. Lu Lie's words are quite concerning. too much.
"Okay." With a snap, Wu Gen stood up from the table, pointed his thumb at his nose, and stared coldly at Murong Yuqiang and others,
"I, Wu Gen, am willing to take over the grain and grass from each of your families. If I lose, I will step down from my official position and let you do whatever you want. If I win, the grain and grass from each of your families will belong to me. Do you dare?" , the gloomy eyes passed over the faces of these people one by one.
For a moment, the venue became quiet again. No one at the banquet expected that today's banquet would be full of twists and turns, with some disturbances arising one after another.
"Why do you alone replace these dozens of people?" Lu Lie crossed his arms and walked slowly to Wu Gen, looking at Wu Gen with disdain.
"Just because I am a member of the Ji family's Northern Army, that's not enough." Wu Gen took a step forward, only to find that he was only as tall as his chest, so he simply stood on the food table and stared at him coldly.
Lu Lie glanced at Ji Ye and found that the other party had no reaction, so he turned to stare at Wu Gen and sneered: "That's enough, of course it's enough. But, we won't hold back when we are threshing straw. Boy, Since you are from Qianhu, you can find some helpers." Wu Gen smiled brightly and said,
"No need, I can kill one with one finger, and there are still three fingers that I can't use."
"That's not a bad tone. I have never seen such an arrogant human race in so many years." Lu Lie's face became colder and colder.
"I will take good care of you when you are able to thresh straw."
"Can I be a straw?" Suddenly, a voice came from afar. When everyone took a look, they saw a shepherd standing far away without even a seat.
Li Qi took a few steps forward and raised his hand to Ji Ye.
"Young Master, I would like to accompany Wu Gen to make grain and grass." Ji Ye glanced at Li Qi, but did not answer. He waved to Wu Gen, turned and walked towards the tent.
After entering the tent, Ji Ye complained in a low voice: "Wu Gen, what are you trying to do? Just let them thresh the straw. Why don't you run over and join in the fun? Although the cultivation of the seven of them is not too high, they are better than others." Solid, how many punches have been given to me since childhood, how many pills have been taken, and there are so many human beings to devour. How can you defeat me in just four realms? I stopped the blood eating thing, but the threshing grass was killed by Murong. With the family in such trouble, there is really no other way, so let them go. In this way, if you go out later, don't say anything, and just follow the original rules." With that, Ji Ye was about to go out and make an announcement, but Wu Gen quickly stopped him,
"No need, let me go. It's not that I'm trusting you, but I know it in my heart. They have been in the family for a long time and have good food and clothing. Although they have no shortage of training resources, they rarely have the opportunity to participate in actual combat. Fighting is not something that can be done. It all depends on my cultivation. Don’t worry, I won’t die. I will run away if the opportunity arises. You can see at this banquet that some people are too arrogant. If you don’t give them a beating, I’m afraid they will no longer have you in their eyes. Ji Ye, listen to me and prepare for war. I thought they were just dissatisfied, but I didn't expect that the situation in Iron Hand Province has reached a critical point. This is no longer a problem that Huairou can solve. Only blood and swords can solve it. You can make them shut up." Ji Ye stared at Wu Gen for a while, then patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"I understand, please leave it to the Northern Army. How about Li Qi? Can you trust him?"
"I don't know, let's catch them and use them first. All the generals that the Ji family can fight are in the hands of your father and brother, and you can't handle them. We have to win over a group of people, even outsiders, as our own team. Now, even Your sister knows how to grab some soldiers to protect herself, so how can we remain indifferent." Wu Gen sighed, wondering where Yang Zheng was.
"Isn't that too much?" Ji Ye's face looked a little gloomy.
"People are harmless, but tigers can hurt others. Thanks to you for reading so many books, there are not many nasty things that happened to the royal family. Even if nothing unspeakable has happened, it is always good to have some soldiers in our hands." Wu Gen sighed, turned around and walked out.
When a person reaches a certain high position, these struggles for power are inevitable. Even if you don't want to, your subordinates will push you forward.
Outside the tent, everyone who was whispering fell silent. Lu Lie raised his chin and looked at Ji Ye with a little pride.
"Wu Gen and Li Qi will be responsible for the grain and grass today. Each family will bring their own humans over and I will take care of them." Ji Ye announced loudly as soon as he came out of the tent.
For a moment, there was a buzz of people all around, with excitement on their faces, even Ji Nan and others were no exception. Wu Gen looked at everyone's reactions and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It is extremely difficult to change the old habits of shepherds. Ji Ye's behavior today is actually very outrageous in the eyes of ordinary shepherds.
I remember that Wu Gen was thinking about how to change the shepherd's habit of eating food, but now that he thinks about it, it's just like his love for eating cakes. It's been ingrained in his bones and cannot be changed.
Unless there is no more bread in the world, or all the bread in the world is poisonous. While sighing, Wu Gen took off the knife from his body and handed it to Ji Ye. The threshers were not allowed to carry weapons, neither the threshers nor the threshers.
Walking up to Li Qi, Wu Gen patted him on the shoulder.
"Why bother."
"like."
"There are also guys who like to be beaten. Sure enough, if you lose your tail, you will have some weird ideas."
"I am going to kill you."
"No, you have to transfer your hatred towards me to those young masters and ladies."
"Why, it was you who humiliated me."
"I'm here to inspire you to fight."
"Oh, thank you, dead eunuch."
"If you dare to call me this, I will kill you."
"Look, your fighting spirit has also risen. Please move."
"You." While the two were bickering, people from these seven families were all dressed up. Gu Yangsi rode his horse to Wu Gen's side and whispered: "Just wait and run. It usually doesn't take more than an hour to thresh the grains. Others may just go through the motions, but be careful with Lu Lie and Ba Hong. They both Everyone has their own tricks, which are difficult to deal with." Wu Gen smiled slightly,
"Thank you for the wine. Bring more next time."
"You don't know what is good or what is evil." Gu Yangsi laughed angrily when he heard this and turned the horse's head.
"It's okay to drink a lot, but you have to drink to survive." He shook his head and left. The location of the threshing grass is on the bank of Xiao River, and a spacious grassland was chosen.
As for the rules, they are very simple. Wu Gen and Li Qi run first, and the people behind them chase after them on horseback. Whoever can get the grain and grass wins. Of course, the dead grain and grass will also be included.
Wu Gen and Li Qi stood in the wormwood up to their thighs and moved their legs and feet.
"A man without a tail and a man without a vertical body are really a perfect match. Sure enough, the fish will look for the fish and the shrimp will look for the shrimp, and the tortoise is the best match for the tortoise." Immediately, Lu Lie and Ba Hong laughed loudly and said: "Come here, give me my blood Bring up the food." As he said that, a guard escorted a human youth with his hands tied forward and brought him to Lu Lie.
Lu Lie looked at Wu Gen, put a hand on the young man's head with a sinister smile. The young man's body shook like chaff, his face twitched and twisted sharply, and he let out a high-pitched cry.
Lu Lie's hand held the young man's head tightly, his face turned red, and even his pupils turned red, and he stared at Wu Gen with a ferocious expression.
"Don't be impulsive." Li Qi reminded in a low voice: "He is irritating you." Wu Gen did not speak, his fists gradually clenched, and a hint of murderous intent lingered in his body.
Hey, there was grass coming with the wind, and it was cut into several pieces as soon as it got close. Li Qi said coldly: "When a common man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps; when an adult is angry, his body will be buried thousands of miles away. Wu Gen, you make your own choice." Hush, Wu Gen let out a sigh of relief,
"Don't worry, I am not a reckless person. One day, I will make Lu Lie pay a price that they cannot bear." After a cup of tea, the young man under Lu Lie's body twitched sharply.
People from several other families also raised their eyes to indicate that if this continued, this tailless sheep would lose its essence and would not survive for long.
Lu Lie seemed unaware and still refused to let go, with a deep red color on his face. The young man's body suddenly softened, as if his bones had been removed, and he became motionless.
Lu Lie threw the man in his hand out, turned back and glared at the guard,
"Why did this man lose his Yuanyang? How dare you give me such a thing?" He said, hitting the guard in the face with a whip and cursing angrily,
"Your father was so worried that he found a human woman and gave birth to a guy with impure blood like you. If your father hadn't served the family for many years, he would have driven you away." The guard knelt down. He stood on the ground without saying a word, letting Lu Lie's whip hit his face. Blood dripped down his chin and dyed the clothes in front of him red.
The sound of gongs was heard in the distance, which also meant that threshing officially began.
"This is a lunatic." Li Qi cursed.
"Wu Gen, let's go. We have thirty breaths. After thirty breaths, they will chase us."
