Fengding Town was expanded from a village. At this time, there were no common people. The market and inns were empty. There were only a barracks being built in the north of the town and 800 armored sergeants.
"problem occurs!"
Xue Tong's mood dropped sharply. He jumped off the eagle's back, showed the royal palace's golden order, and went straight to the main tent.
…
Liao Shixiong, Kuai Yuanzhong, and Xiao Ji, the general manager of Prince Li's Mansion.
A murder occurred in Fengding.
A month ago, hundreds of orcs brought a large amount of supplies and exchanged them for 6,000 cattle and horses. They were massacred before returning to the barbarian territory, and only a few people who fainted survived.
The surviving orcs claimed that the murder they witnessed was committed by humans, and that the barbarians who came to trade belonged to the Wolf and Rock tribes.
The relationship between the two barbarian tribes and Ao Wu suddenly became tense. The imperial court sent people to Fengding to inspect and deal with it.
"Obviously a frame-up, Xue didn't expect the wolf tribe to be so sinister!" Xue Tong's hands trembled slightly.
"Xue Dutong is right, but the word about the surviving orcs has become a conclusion within the tribe. Three hundred and seventy human lives are related to both barbarian tribes. After initial contact, they demanded huge compensation."
"The prince is extremely anxious, and the court is besieged again. He said that he would lead a wolf into the house. It is childish and ridiculous, and he was plotted by the barbarians." Kuai Yuanzhong said.
"The two tribes of Langyan have always been in collusion with each other, and they even attacked the Jiu tribe together back then, but the two tribes are no match for Ao Wu, unless..."
"Unless the seven tribes of barbarians send troops, or collude with evil forces to kill the barbarians." Xiao Ji said what Xue Tong had not finished.
"Um"
"General Kuai, if you write to the prince, tell him that Xue is aware of the matter and will find a solution."
Xue Tong brokered the agreement, but he did not expect such a result. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth, and the murderous intent that burst out made the three people in the tent tremble.
"Xue Dutong can't act recklessly!" Liao Shixiong said.
"General Liao and others acted in accordance with the decree of the imperial court. Xue decided to resign from his position as the capital of the palace. No matter what others think, from now on, Xue's words and deeds have nothing to do with the palace and Aowu Kingdom."
Xue Tong handed the royal gold medal and the Dutong letter seal to Kuai Yuanzhong, then turned and left.
…
"kill!"
Xue Tong thought about this word and rushed to the Qicha Valley at lightning speed.
Doutan Village was deserted. The village of more than a thousand people was in a mess, with only a few native dogs and pheasants running around from time to time.
"The Wolf Department has planned carefully. Even Dou Tan's family has gone into hiding. All tribes and villages must have stepped up their vigilance. They will all be dispatched when the matter becomes clear!"
"The bloodshed lasted only a short time. It will take some time before a war begins."
Xue Tong turned to Yiba Canyon, intending to go to the Kulu tribe to inquire.
He took advantage of the night to escape from the sky above Yiba Canyon, using the Shadow Step instead, and sneaked into Rosen Mountain overnight.
The bonfires in Rosen Mountain were dotted, patrols shuttled back and forth, Xue Tong's invisible magic was with him, and his shadowy steps were so fast that those people could not find him.
"The barbarians also have people who practice law. There may be warning talismans and mechanisms buried around the stronghold."
"The only problem is that it is not appropriate to kill people." Xue Tong observed from a distance, waiting for the opportunity.
The patrol came over in groups of five.
Xue Tong ordered the bone puppet to make a noise in the bushes not far away, attracting the attention of the patrol.
When the five people followed the rustling sound, which was similar to the sound of snakes and pythons coming and going, Xue Tong came around to the back of the team and suddenly grabbed the top of the last person's head.
A black shadow flashed behind the four of them, Xue Tong disappeared and abducted one person silently, and the rustling of the trees in front also disappeared deep into the woods.
"Hey, why is there one person missing, where is Kuruba?"
…
"Tell me, where is the head of the Kuluban family?" Xue Tong asked in barbarian language.
"I don't know!" Kuruba shook his head.
"I'll kill you if you don't tell me!" Xue Tong threatened.
"Kill!" Kuruba replied simply.
The conversation between the two in Manchu was simple and direct. In Xue Tong's impression, most orcs were upright and brave, and there were very few traitors or surrenderers.
He rolled his eyes and displayed the dominoes of the Kuru warriors and the identity dominoes of the powerful Wuma Tachu clan.
Kuruba was shocked on the spot. Xue Tong's stories were circulated among the barbarians, but many details were omitted. It was an understatement. Kuruba only knew that the human warriors barely defeated the family leader and the powerful shaman.
The dominoes were robbed without any knowledge.
"I have a letter to bring to your master." Xue Tong quickly wrote a few words on the animal skin with talisman ink.
Then he inserted the empty porcelain bottle containing pills, sealed the bottle mouth, and handed it to Kuruba along with the warrior domino.
Kuruba's eyes widened and he nodded slightly.
Xue Tong quickly descended the mountain and disappeared into the darkness.
When Kuruba saw Xue Tong walking away, he turned around and walked towards the village.
He hurriedly entered a wooden house. He leaned a little and a man walked out of the house. He turned around and walked into the cave covered by the trees.
None of this escaped Xue Tong's eyes. His Golden Eye Technique came from his bloodline, and it was instantly activated as soon as he focused his gaze. His eyesight today has grown a lot compared to that dark night when he was a handyman.
Xue Tongxin wrote: "The scum of the Wolf tribe colluded with traitors, massacred the tribesmen and blamed the Aowu Kingdom, committing a heinous crime. We should find out the truth and rein in the situation. If we persist, we will eventually play with fire and burn ourselves, and the Wolf tribe will also repeat the same thing for more than thirty years." A bloody scene that devastated people many years ago."
Xue Tong suspected that the murder was committed by the Mata Institute of the Wolf Division, and the Kulu people may not know about it, so he wrote a letter asking for directions to see the reaction.
Kuruban really didn't know about it, so he wrote to Jiaotu Mountain overnight to inquire.
He was pacing outside the Kuruban Stone Cave, and when he realized that a dangerous aura was rapidly approaching, Xue Tong was already looking at him with a smile from seven or eight feet away.
After all, Kuruban has innate strength. As an orc, his sense of danger is even better than that of humans. However, Xue Tong didn't notice it until he was so close, which shocked him, "This guy is even more powerful!"
"Kuruban, we meet again. I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to ask you a few things."
"You released a letter falcon just now to go to Jiaotu Mountain, right?" Xue Tong asked.
Kuruban groaned and did not refute.
"What's new in the Wolf Division? Is Matajiu okay?" Xue Tong asked again.
Kuluban still ignored Xue Tong.
"The situation is different now. The Wolf Division is bent on causing trouble. Whether I kill the barbarians or not will not affect the overall situation. Besides, there is no evidence to prove who did it." Xue Tong said in a stern tone.
"Mataju's injury has recovered to 90%, and Chief Matalijie came out of isolation a year ago." Kuruban said helplessly.
"How is Matalijie's force and how long will he be in seclusion?"
"Matalijie is extremely powerful and has been in seclusion for thirteen years."
"He is so powerful. Why didn't the Wolf tribe take advantage when he fought against the Eagle tribe?"
"It wasn't particularly outstanding at the time. The military force has increased rapidly in the past thirty years. The Taoist priest couldn't compare with it now," Kuruban said.
"Well, you are right. What is the purpose of the Wolf Department's trouble?" Xue Tong asked.
"I only know that the humans killed the barbarians, and it was not the Wolf tribe that caused the trouble. I have only seen the chief once in more than ten years, and it was at a banquet after leaving the customs."
"Maybe the traitor from before has come to find you again."
"I came here more than a year ago, but I refused to discuss the matter and let them go to Kok Tu Mountain."
Xue Tong remembered something and asked, "Where did Dou Tan's family go?"
"Dou Tan Erjin and others went to the main village, and the rest are at Mu Teng's house in the east."
"You send a message to Matachiu, saying that Xue is back, and let him take care of himself!"
Xue Tong didn't ask many questions, but he finally got some information about the chief of the Wolf Tribe.
…
Kuimuzhai, Wolf's Cave.
The meeting hall of the Wolf Tribe is called the Wolf's Cave. It is a solid rock cave that is ten feet high and about an acre in diameter. It is surrounded by tallow stone lamps. On the highest step in the north, there is a large stone chair with Matalijie sitting cross-legged and crooked, one level lower. There are three chairs on the left and right of the stone steps.
There were only two clan supervisors and clan shamans sitting there.
"Kuluban sent two letters. One asked about the details of the murder of the tribesmen, and the other said that the man named Xue came back a few years ago." Matajiu's eyes widened in anger, spouting anger and resentment.
"Oh, the person named Xue is here, and there is an unexpected surprise. Make arrangements well so as not to miss the opportunity." Matalijie grinned and smiled at Matajiu.
"Mataxinda will stay at the main village while the clan shaman and I will take people to Tianxiong Mountain." Matalijie said again.
"The chief wants to propose that the seven tribes of barbarians send troops?" Mataxinda asked.
"Um"
"It's unlikely. How can Jilieqi be so easy to talk to? Besides, the southern tribes are too far apart, so I must disagree."
"You'll find out when you go there," Matalijie said nonchalantly.
…
Xue Tong hides in Yiba Canyon.
"Before the Kuru army moves out, people will be sent to guard the canyon. I just wait and see the signs."
Xue Tong did not go to Rosen Mountain again. This kind of thing can usually only be done once. If he goes there again, he will either find no one or fall into a trap.
He ordered the Vulture Bone Puppet to warn him and he practiced the exercises with peace of mind.
Ten days later.
"Orc Camel Cart!"
Two camel carts came from south to north towards the canyon.
The camel cart carries the flag of the Wolf tribe, which is not owned by the Kuru family.
Xue Tong followed patiently until the early morning of the third day, watching the camel cart enter the border of Aowu.
When the camel cart returned, Xue Tong took the opportunity to block the way.
He showed Matachu's identity domino and said, "Don't think about doing meritorious service for the tribe, it's more important to save your life."
Among the warriors sent by the Wolf Tribe to negotiate, one was born with innate strength and the other two were born at the peak of their abilities.
The innate orc Matagon laughed strangely and fired a bomb!
"Xue Tong, the person you want to see will be here soon!"
"Oh, is Matalijie here?" Xue Tong was suspicious, but when he saw a human race ship from a distance, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed!
…
Thousands of miles away, Tianxiong Mountain.
"Great Chief, the Wolf Tribe Matalijie and the Rock Tribe Genglebu are coming with bad intentions. I suggest you not see them," said the clan witch Kanner.
Kanner is a thin man of the barbarian tribe. If it weren't for his pointed ears and rough skin, he would even look more like a sixty-year-old human race man. His eyes are shining brightly, and he is leaning on a brown crutch with a pole that is not gold but jade.
"Oh, how can you tell that the person who came here is not good?" asked Gilechi, the chief of the barbarians.
"According to the intelligence, there is an unexplainable murder case between the Wolf Division and Ao Wu. I believe that it is most likely a self-inflicted trick of the Wolf Division."
"Why did Matalijie drag Genlebu to Tianxiong Mountain knowing that the chief would not agree to his request for support?"
"Matalije has been in seclusion for more than ten years, and only one year after leaving seclusion, a good business turned into a murderous crime. It is really strange."
"Ao Wu is so powerful. Why do the two Langyan tribes have such great ambitions and prepare to go to war with them?"
"I think that Matalijie's intention is not to Aowu, but to split the barbarians!"
As the wisest man in the Bear Tribe, Kanner was the one who formulated the strategy for the war between humans and barbarians.
"Kanna is right, Matalije's coming is not good." Kokla agreed.
"Then I'll avoid it?" Gilechi said.
"Well, the clan supervisor and I will come forward to find out the truth first," Kanner said.
