Origin - Chapter 427

[Chapter 405]

The young man carrying the baby was about twenty-three or four years old, tall and straight, with very handsome features.

This person should be a military general of a certain tribe, wearing a set of bronze armor, different from the heavy helmet of the bird warriors, the armor this person wears is a simple light helmet, with few pieces of armor, only protecting a few parts of the upper body key.

Earlier this person may have experienced a tragic war, the armor on his body was severely damaged, and there were many knife marks and sword marks on the barrel of the long spear he used.

There are more than thirty people around the young man, these people should be his clan, wearing the same armor as the young man.

However, these people were not very friendly to this young man, their swords were drawn and drawn.

The baby behind the young man is still small, still in swaddling, and has no face in sight, but the baby is crying at this time. The cry of a baby girl and a baby boy is different. It should be a baby girl.

The leader was a strong man of thirty-five or six years old, holding a long sword in his hand, but the long sword was not sheathed at this time.

After surrounding the young man, the middle-aged man walked slowly into the surrounding circle and stood five steps in front of the young man.

“Wish Qianwei, stay safe?” The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

The young man looked at the person coldly and did not answer.

The middle- aged man sighed and shook his head, “Hey, why are you doing this?” The

young man still didn’t answer.

“To this day, you are considered loyal, leave your child to me,” said the middle-aged man.

The young man gave the young man a cold look, “Do it.” The

young man said again, “Although you are strong in martial arts, you can’t kill all of us. You are very aware of the consequences of your actions.” The

young man said nothing.

“Zhu Qianwei, this is your last chance,” the middle-aged man said, “give me the child and go back with us. Your Majesty is merciful and merciful. As long as you know where to go, you will not go to the bottom of your guilt, and you will not only be able to protect yourself. Your family will also be spared from being implicated.”

“Your Majesty has been killed by you, where can there be a Majesty in Huicheng?” the young man said coldly.

“The sinner Kui Xi is incompetent and incompetent, and he mutilates the clansman. It is his own fault to end up like this.” The middle-aged man said loudly.

Hearing the conversation between the two,

Wu Zhongyuan vaguely guessed what was going on. Huicheng was a relatively large tribe in the Southern Wilderness. This tribe was a tribe of mixed surnames. The description of the tribe is a bit inaccurate, but in fact, they are more like a small country.

Since salt is a necessity of life, the city of Kui is very rich, and the city built is also very large, and there are many people in the city, like fifty or sixty thousand people.

The middle-aged man said that Kui Xi should be the city lord of Kui City. There may have been a mutiny in Kui City. The young man should be a member of the royalist faction, and the baby girl on his back must be the daughter of the deceased city lord.

Everyone has preconceived ideas, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. Hearing the conversation between the two, he took it for granted that the rebels were chasing and killing loyal ministers, trying to kill the daughter of the late king and eradicate the roots.

But what he didn’t expect was that the young man did not refute what the young man said when he accused the previous king, which means that what the young man said was probably the truth.

The middle-aged man didn’t seem to want to fight with the young man. Although he surrounded him, he kept trying to persuade him to surrender. The middle-aged man spoke more, and the young man responded less.

During the conversation, it was inevitable to mention the names of both parties. Qianwei was not the official position of the young man, but his name. This person was called Zhu Qianwei.

And the young man surnamed Qi, called Qi Tong, was a colleague of Zhu Qianwei.

Wu Zhongyuan originally wore the blue dragon armor, but the blue dragon armor was also heavy armor, and it was rarely refreshing to wear it, so he took off the blue dragon armor and sat on a big tree on the top of the cliff to listen to the conversation between the two in the valley.

It may be that he is afraid of Zhu Qianwei’s martial arts skills, or it may be because of his old love. Qi Tong has been trying to convince Zhu Qianwei to hand over the baby girl, because the original city owner Hui Xi has done too many bad things, and it is not worthy of Zhu Qianwei’s allegiance. It is not worth Zhu Qianwei to be buried with him.

If you want to persuade others, you have to list the specific bad things that Hui Xi has done. Qi Tong said three things.

The second is Kui Xi’s indiscriminate torture and cruelty to his subjects.

The third is Kui Xi’s great construction and extravagant enjoyment.

At first Wu Zhongyuan didn’t care, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. How could the situation Qi Tong said be similar to those absurd things done by King Zhou of Shang who was bewildered by Daji?

When Qi Tong stated the crime of Hui Xi, Zhu Qianwei did not refute it, which showed that Qi Tong did not wrong Hui Xi, and that Hui Xi did that.

Qi Tong said a lot, but Zhu Qianwei only said a few words, one of which was ‘Your Majesty was not originally like this.

‘ Another sentence is ‘Your Majesty is kind to me.

‘

Qi Tong then began to criticize Zhu Qianwei for being ignorant, saying that he was not worthy of giving his life for a foolish ruler like Kui Xi.

“Why do you want to kill them all? She’s not a boy.” Zhu Qianwei said.

“Who said that a woman can’t be king? The throne of Kuicheng has always been hereditary. Although this baby is a baby girl, she has royal blood. If she doesn’t die, it will be difficult for the people in the city to accept the king’s rule.” Qi Tong said.

The persuasion lasted for about a quarter of an hour. It turned out that Qi Tong was indeed delaying the time. The purpose was naturally to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. After a quarter of an hour, another group of troops came from the west, and the number of people who surrounded Zhu Qianwei increased to more than fifty.

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Qi Tong stopped talking to Zhu Qianwei, turned to leave, and after walking out of the encirclement, he raised his right hand slightly and ordered an attack.

The one who led the reinforcements was a middle-aged man. Neither this nor Qi Tong participated in the siege of Zhu Qianwei. After the attack started, the two stood in one place, chatting in a low voice as they swept through the formation.

Due to the sound of fighting and killing in the field, Wu Zhongyuan struggled to hear the conversation between the two, but if he listened carefully, he could still hear it. The two were talking about how to force out the psychic after killing Zhu Qianwei and the baby girl. The soldiers turned into a horned dragon and got the horned dragon halberd.

Before that, Wu Zhongyuan had no stance, and he didn’t know what happened in Huicheng. He waited until someone later said to Qi Tong, ‘My brother made a decisive decision and killed the sinner during the banquet, the king will reward him in the future. .

‘It just dawned on me.

The aura cultivation level of these soldiers is not high, most of them only have light red aura. The person was hacked to death with a sword, which means that Huixi’s spiritual qi cultivation base is even worse, and it is very likely that he has no spiritual qi cultivation base, so there is a reasonable explanation. Sanity.

There are two reasons for suspecting that the demon king is at work. One is that the demon king can only affect the consciousness of those who have no spiritual qi cultivation base, or those whose spiritual qi cultivation base is inferior. .

The second is that the salt in the entire Southern Wilderness comes from Kuicheng, and part of it is also supplied to the Middle Earth. If there is a change in Kuicheng, it will have a huge impact on the salt supply of the entire Southern Wilderness and even the Middle Earth.

If this matter is really the demon king, then its purpose is to draw wages from the bottom of the pot. As long as it controls the supply of salt, all the tribes in the Southern Wilderness will be subject to it.

But there is one thing he can’t figure out, that is, if this is really what the demon king did, it can completely control Kui Xi’s consciousness and make him cut off the supply of salt to the Southern Wilderness and the Middle Earth. Why let him destroy the country? Change another person to be the city lord.

At this time, Zhu Qianwei is already under heavy siege. Although this person is not high in spiritual cultivation, he has the courage to be invincible. He is a master with a spear, has a moderate advance and retreat, and has both offense and defense. , and did not try to break through, but he also never rushed to kill the clansmen who besieged him, only wounded but not killed.

Zhu Qianwei was merciful, but the warriors who attacked him were killing him. Knowing that he cared about the baby he was carrying, they restrained him by attacking the baby, trying to distract him and reveal his flaws.

Wu Zhongyuan is a master of Qi training and a master of bow, but he is not a master of martial arts. Zhu Qianwei is the opposite of his situation. Zhu Qianwei’s aura cultivation is mediocre, but his marksmanship is superb. Dozens of people attacked, but no one was able to break through.

Before that, Wu Zhongyuan had always thought that good-looking moves were pretentious, and that really powerful moves would not look good, but Zhu Qianwei’s marksmanship reversed this idea. It is also very chic. The most commendable thing is that this kind of chicness is not the result of Zhu Qianwei’s deliberate pursuit. The clouds are flowing and the atmosphere is calm. The reason why this happens is inseparable from years of diligent study and hard training, and it is also necessary to stay calm in the face of danger. Psychological quality also has a lot to do with one’s ability to respond quickly. At the same time, one must have enough intelligence and need to be keenly aware of the opponent’s intentions and possible moves.

Open and close, but not leaking, destroying dry and rotten without losing agility, and all of this is based on the fact that he needs to take care of the baby on his back and the mercy of his hands to only hurt but not kill. There were at least a dozen corpses in the field.

Wu Zhongyuan was originally sitting on a tree. After a short period of watching the battle, he floated down from the tree and stood on the edge of the cliff. He wished Qianwei a general style. He appreciated it very much. The reason why he came to the cliff was to control him. In the event of an accident, Zhu Qianwei can be rescued in the shortest possible time.

“Who?!” Qi Tong found Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan didn’t answer, not everyone deserves to talk to him. Qi Tong had previously used the pretense of persuading to surrender to delay time, which had already aroused his disgust.

“I’m waiting here, I don’t want to get my hands on the horned dragon halberd.” Qi Tong shouted again.

On the day of the rabid dog, Wu Zhongyuan was too lazy to answer. The goat used as bait was still tied there. During the melee, Zhu Qianwei had to be distracted to protect the goat, so as to avoid the rope on its leg being cut off by the enemy and triggering the mechanism , he did this naturally because he didn’t want these people who besieged him to be accidentally injured by the trap.

Zhu Qianwei cared about his old relationship, but his opponent showed no mercy. After half a column of incense, Zhu Qianwei was slashed in the chest. This knife was originally aimed at the baby behind him, but Zhu Qianwei was exhausted. You can’t dodge in time, you can only turn around hastily and replace it with your body.

Wu Zhongyuan was still wondering why Zhu Qianwei’s kung fu was so good, but he didn’t manage to get out of trouble. At this time, he finally understood that Zhu Qianwei only had red aura, which was not durable. Once the aura was exhausted, strength alone would not last long.

Seeing that Zhu Qianwei’s aura was exhausted, Wu Zhongyuan took action.

But he did not attack the people surrounded by Zhu Qianwei, nor did he attack Qi Tong and the two who were swept away from the outer circle. Instead, he took the bow and arrow in his hand, condensed the fire dragon’s true energy, and shot it at the water pool below. An arrow.

The black iron arrows infused with the fire dragon’s infuriating energy have a blasting effect. After entering the water, the fire dragon’s infuriating energy is released, with a loud noise and huge waves.

The horned dragon that had been dormant underwater was frightened out of the water, volleyed its claws, and lifted into the sky.

Seeing that the horned dragon really had antlers on its head, Wu Zhongyuan determined that it was transformed by the horned dragon halberd. He took three arrows from his backhand, fired one first, and returned the horned dragon to its original shape. When the horned dragon halberd flew close to the encirclement where Qianwei was, he shot the last arrow, corrected the angle, and pinned the horned dragon halberd in front of Zhu Qianwei.

When the incident happened suddenly, everyone was stunned, including Zhu Qianwei, who raised their heads in doubt and looked up in amazement.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and pointed to the horned dragon halberd, “I gave it to you, change the weapon, and then fight…”
