"The ninth one." Fahan looked at Lajia and Ranche with a heavy expression.
The three brothers went out to rob the tribe under the order of the barbarian prince Meng Heli. They thought it would be an easy task, so in order to hide the traces, they made a large detour.
But every time they arrived at a tribe, all they were left with were corpses and ruins.
This is the ninth consecutive time.
There seems to be a force right in front of them, always one step ahead.
"Is there someone targeting the Barbarian Marquis Meng Heli?" Lajia's eyes were solemn. This kind of thing is definitely not a coincidence.
"Hurry back to the city and report." Rancher said in a low voice.
Fahan shook his head slightly: "Lan Che, don't worry. We need to take care of it."
"Why bother? Someone obviously got ahead of us and wiped out the tribe." Lan Che said anxiously, "We must notify the Marquis as soon as possible!"
Lajia also looked at Fahan in confusion. Among the three brothers, Fahan had always been the smartest.
"Farhan, what exactly do you want to say?"
Fahan thought for a moment and said, "You have all seen these tribes that were massacred. They were all exterminated not long ago."
"How are we going to explain to the Marquis?"
"We said that every time we rushed to a tribe, that tribe had been massacred in advance, without a trace of property. Do you think the Marquis would believe it?"
"Would the Marquis think that we had embezzled the property and made up lies to deceive him?"
Lan Che shook his head: "Impossible, Mr. Hou is not that kind of person!"
Fahan looked at La Jia, and La Jia thought for a while: "If there was no incident between Wu Liang Bu Cha and Dou Er Dun before, the Marquis would definitely believe us. But now..."
"We are loyal!" Lan Che's face was full of grief and anger!
"But the Marquis's trust has been shaken." Fahan sighed, "Actually, there are worse consequences."
Rancher asked hurriedly: "What's the result?"
Fahan looked around warily and whispered: "What if the real murderer was also sent by the Marquis?"
Raga seemed to have thought of something terrible and exclaimed, while Rancher still looked confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Lajia replied with some pain: "Fahan means that the Marquis gave up on us."
"He will push us out as murderers!"
Lan Che couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" He thought for a moment and then said, "The Marquis said that he only robs property and does not hurt people. He also specifically said that he would leave them enough supplies for the winter."
"What good will it do to the Marquis to exterminate the tribe directly like this!"
Fahan shook his head: "Lan Che, you think too simplistically. The tribes in the barbarian plains are like weeds, which can never be cut. If a group of them are slaughtered today, there will be new ones on this land tomorrow." The tribe is established. As a big shot in Tuogu City, the Barbarian Marquis Mengheli will never lack loyal tribes."
"On the contrary, for the Marquis now, he needs a large amount of income to make up for the shortfall! After all, the consumption in Tuogu City is huge."
Lan Che finally understood what Farhan said: "Then what should we do?"
"Escape!" Fahan said softly, "With our ability, we can find a way out wherever we go. Why go back and serve as a shield for Meng Heli?"
"Let's run away now!"
…
"Master Hou, it's almost dawn!" Yang Nanzhong walked to Chen Luo, who was also a little tired from the overnight raid.
"This is the first tribe we have wiped out?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers who were searching for raw materials.
"The fourteenth!" At this point, an excited look appeared on Yang Nanzhong's face, "Grandma, even though these tribes are small and shabby, they have quite a lot of reserves. They should be used for winter and winter. They will be exchanged after spring."
"Well..." Chen Luo sensed the increase in murderous aura in the soldier talismans and was very satisfied with the harvest. The death aura exerted on everyone by the ancient tomb also gradually dissipated. Chen Luo nodded, "Notify brothers that we are going back."
"Yes!" Yang Nanzhong handed over his hand. At this moment, a tiger and leopard cavalry sergeant escorted a barbarian to Chen Luo.
"Master Marquis, this guy was found in a hidden cave. He said he has important information!"
Chen Luo glanced at the barbarian. The barbarian immediately knelt down on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground with his hands, and clasped his hands on his back: "Sir, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare your life. I have precious information, I hope you can spare me." One life.”
Chen Luo looked at him with interest: "Tell me about it!"
The barbarian raised his head and said, "Sir, please swear that after I tell you, you will spare my life!"
Chen Luo smiled, and a cold light suddenly appeared, and one of the arms behind the barbarian's back was completely severed. After a moment, the barbarian felt the heartbreaking pain, screamed, and rolled on the ground.
Chen Luo stepped forward and put his long knife on the barbarian's throat: "Let us swear an oath? Do you want the barbarian to lock us in?"
The barbarian immediately held back the severe pain and begged for mercy: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!"
"Tell me, what information!" Chen Luo said lightly, "If I am satisfied, I will spare your life, otherwise..."
As he spoke, Chen Luo's long knife slowly moved forward and pierced the skin on the barbarian's throat. The barbarian quickly shouted: "My lord, my lord, listen to me..."
"My lords are just asking for money!"
"Sir, please spare my life. I can show you a way to make a fortune!"
Chen Luo flipped his wrist, and the barbarian's second arm was cut off.
"Three sentences, if you can't explain it clearly, I will chop off your head!"
Big drops of sweat broke out on the barbarian's face, and he felt 1.2 million regrets in his heart.
There are so many tribes that can be blackmailed, why did he choose such a tribe, and ended up running into such a group of human barbarians! It is impossible for the human army to penetrate deep here. It seems that they are the private soldiers of a certain human big shot who has taken refuge with the barbarians.
"Back to your lord..." the barbarian said quickly, "The villain's father is a barbarian general and is responsible for transporting barbarian gifts!"
"Barbarian wedding ceremony?" Chen Luo looked confused, and Yang Nanzhong quickly explained: "Master Hou, barbarian marriage ceremony is the betrothal gift sent by the man to the woman when the barbarian nobles get married!"
"Bowry gift!" Chen Luo suddenly realized. He didn't expect that a race as rough as the barbarians would have such a custom. It was just... rough and fine.
Yang Nanzhong seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "Master Marquis, according to the customs of the barbarians, the time of war with the human race is an auspicious day for barbarian marriage. If you use the war capture as a barbarian wedding ceremony, you will be blessed by the barbarian heaven."
"This is also one of the reasons why the Winter War is launched every year."
I... Chen Luo had a mouthful of curse words stuck in his mouth.
"Sir, I know the delivery time and route of the latest gift. As long as you survive, I will definitely tell you all the information!"
Chen Luo sneered: "How much is a little kiss worth?"
Yang Nanzhong pulled Chen Luo's sleeve: "Master Marquis, those who can transport across the city are barbarian marquis or above. This barbarian gift may be several times more than what we gain tonight!"
Chen Luoleng was stunned for a moment, then turned his wrist and hit the barbarian hard on the back of the head. The barbarian fainted immediately.
"Take him back and torture him severely!"
"Here!"
…
Tuo ancient city.
Meng Heli stood on the high platform in the courtyard, looking in the direction outside the city.
The barbarian sun and barbarian moon are different from the sun and moon in the sky. They do not rise or fall, but only appear slowly and then retreat slowly.
At this time, the outline of the barbarian sun was revealed, while the barbarian moon slowly became illusory.
The brilliance of the wild sun shone on Meng Heli, and Meng Heli's eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
The butler brought a cup of breakfast: "Master Marquis, please have something to eat. You have been standing all night."
"No, I'll wait for Fahan and the others to come back before we eat together."
"When they bring the supplies back, I will be more comfortable!"
"Looking to the Mantian Palace to buy two thousand wild horses!"
"Go to the human race and grab some more harvests."
"You can survive this year!"
The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, this year has been so unlucky."
Meng Heli sighed; "Fahan and the others are still worthy of trust!"
"I am waiting for them here!"
