Hua Yi was patrolling outside and arrived soon.
He glanced down and was speechless for a moment.
A tribe must have males and females, old and young, in order to survive this life. If there is no uniform left, only a group of orcs are left. In the past, it is almost certain that it is a ghost tribe.
The traveling merchants are the only link between these tribes that are relatively closed to each other. Since the old merchants sent them a map, after a while the price given by others will be good, and they will sell them to others. Nothing new either.
Lu Quan only heard Hua Yi suddenly say: "Have you seen how these people walk?"
Lu Quan was stunned.
The orcs' footsteps are naturally fast, but the speed of this team is not very uniform.
Looking from a distance, Hua Yi's first feeling is that the people in front and the people behind are not in the same group.
The ones in the front are strong and strong, and are rushing forward with all their might. The ones behind are either old or young, or have injuries. Obviously, they are struggling to keep up.
From this point of view, it really doesn't look like a ghost tribe that burns, kills and loots all day long, but it doesn't look like a homeless refugee hiding from a disaster.
It was only a moment before Hua Yi went up to the tower, and the group of people came down. The guards on the tower were all young and vigorous, and they had good eyesight, so they could see clearly when they looked down. I saw that those people were all travel-stained, as if something was chasing behind them, looking at the tall city wall in shock and embarrassment, and then the leading people looked at each other and knocked on the door.
"A group of armored and sharp-edged people insist on pretending to be a mob." Hua Yi said in a low voice, "It's interesting—find someone to go down and ask what's going on."
With a wink from Lu Quan, a guard ran down and shouted to the people outside through the small hole in the city gate.
Hua Yi propped his hands on the cold stone, as if moving his fingers, tapped on it for a while, and then said to Lu Quan: "Go and call Chang'an, the city gate belongs to him tonight, you come with me."
Lu Quan was stunned for a moment. Although he was a guy who couldn't kick a fart with three legs, he was not dull in his mind. people come in.
Lu Quan frowned. From his point of view, these people didn't know their roots, and they were all disasters. They were living a good life, so they just let people in so casually. How would they deal with troubles
Hua Yi breathed into his hands, rubbed them together, and then patted Lu Quan on the shoulder.
The guards were wearing defensive iron armor, and when the winter wind blew, it became colder and harder, as if someone had been covered with a layer of iron skin, and they couldn't feel any vitality when they slapped them. Hua Yi said in a low voice: "The city wall has been built, but there are always people. The bigger the place, the more people there are. Why, do you want to follow a tribe and live in this city with towering walls for the rest of your life? When encountering these people with malicious intentions, they pretended not to see them and turned them away, thinking that they couldn’t come in anyway?”
Lu Quan was not hypocritical, and nodded bluntly: "That's what I think."
Hua Yi sneered, he seemed to have lost some weight, and the contours of his face became more and more clear. Coupled with his natural high nose bridge and thin lips, when he was not smiling, he looked a little cold, not a kind-hearted look.
"If we don't go out for a year, we can sit back and relax. If we don't go out for three years, we can prosper ourselves. For five or eight years, you occupy such a good place, and someone will always come to think about it. If you don't go out by yourself, People will come in sooner or later, do you see these things rarely? City wall? What's so great about the city wall, isn't it built by people? If so, do you believe that people can't push it... Alas, I don't know."
Lu Quan muttered: "Then who did you tell clearly? Chang'an?"
Hua Yi slapped him on the back of the head: "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Quan smirked: "Hey."
Hua Yi rolled his eyes and said: "Even if he doesn't understand other things, he must understand the truth of this matter better than you. Otherwise, he would have been a carpenter by now-don't look at him now. Wuzheng looks like dough. He doesn’t even lift his eyelids when others poke him. It’s because he has gained confidence over the years. If he is still young or has not yet completed his studies, you can try to provoke him and bite him with your teeth I can also fight with you to the end."
Lu Quan was even more confused, and before he had time to taste anything from his few words, the guard who asked the question ran up. Sure enough, a few scattered tribes that those people claimed were hiding from the disaster gathered together. The family members are far away, and they are asked to come and explore the way first.
"Exploring the way." Hua Yi sneered, nodded, pushed Lu Quan, and said, "The city defense is doubled today, you and Shanxi are half of each other, freeze them for a while, and then let them in when Chang'an comes. .”
Lu Quan followed the sound and left, but after a while, Chang An came over, he still refused to put on his armor, he probably had already fallen asleep, he just wrapped the animal skins in a hurry, followed by Lu Da and Qing Liang, two little henchmen .
Hua Yi frowned when he saw him, and then took off the last layer of leather jacket with cotton padded on his body, threw it at his face, and cursed: "Why don't you freeze to death?"
Forcing Chang An to put on a layer of clothes, Hua Yi pointed to the people below the tower and said in a low voice: "There are outsiders, you should be more careful at night, these 'outsiders' may become 'insiders', or it is possible Turned into half and hung on the city tower."
Chang An glanced down, then raised his eyelids and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Hua Yi said calmly: "The people who come in, whether they are enemies or guests, don't need to go out again. If there are more people coming outside, I won't nod, and don't let anyone in, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive."
These words made Qing Liang shiver.
But immediately, Hua Yi laughed again, and the murderous intent in his words disappeared in an instant, and the leader became that gentle and amiable leader again. Hua Yi untied his wine pot from his waist and stuffed it into Chang'an's hand: "Take this, it's cold in the city tower at night, so I'm leaving to drive away the cold."
Chang An answered and took it, but Hua Yi turned back just after taking two steps, and said to him sticky, "I'll ask Ah Ye to cook some herbs to dispel the cold and bring it to you."
Chang'an felt a little impatient and wanted him to get out of here quickly, but in the end he restrained himself and nodded in a good temper: "Yeah."
Unexpectedly, Hua Yi turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back for the third time, and leaned in front of him cheaply, and said, "No, I still think of one thing, I have to kiss you."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, pinched Chang An's chin, and pecked Chang An's lips unexpectedly. He felt that his tongue was numb from the cold in the twelfth lunar month of winter, so he couldn't taste it. It was a pity .
After he finished kissing, Chang An finally took a step back unbearably, and asked, "What else do you have to do, can you finish it all at once?"
Hua Yi sighed: "I don't understand the style."
Chang'an poked in the cold wind like a pillar in confusion.
Hua Yi shook his head, strode down the tower, and shouted to the guards: "Open the door and let them in."
The guards sheltered from the wind in a small compartment on the tower. The wind was too high at the height, and the voices of people below the tower could not be heard clearly. A small fire was burning in the shelter, and several orc guards gathered together tremblingly. .
However, Chang An took Lu Da and Qing Liang out, the light was reflected on the snow, and the walking of the people and horses could be clearly seen from a height.
A guard behind him shouted: "Chang'an, why did you get those two bastards out? Are you drinking the wind?"
Chang An watched the backs of the men who were progressing for a while, and said without looking back, "Hang up that wooden spike."
The guards were startled when they heard the words, and an elderly orc also came out: "What do you want spikes for?"
Chang An rubbed his fingers on the saber, and said in a low voice, "Prepare to hang your head."
The old guard looked serious and asked, "What?"
Chang An pointed at the men in rags and asked Lu Da, "What do you see?"
Lu Da was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to be greeted with a sudden exam, so he squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
He only heard Chang An say in his ear: "Whether it is knife skills or sword skills, they are all sharp weapons. Therefore, to a certain extent, it doesn't matter how much strength you have, but whether you can understand your opponent or not. Watch those people carefully." the shoulders, the movement of the limbs and the footprints of the feet."
After hearing this, Lu Da and Qing Liang hurriedly craned their necks and stared at it carefully. However, they were young and couldn't grasp the essentials for a while. Instead, the old orc who had experienced many battles thought carefully for a moment, turned around and yelled at him. Walking back to the small cubicle, he kicked a young man: "Get up, get up, don't hide here like a turtle, go out and stand guard for me, damn it, Lao Tzu's armor The bows and arrows are almost rusting, and finally some blind grandchildren bumped into them!"
A young man asked in shock, "Father, city defense!"
The old orc spat: "Take care of yourself, that leader has eight hundred minds, isn't he smarter than you?"
When Qing Liang heard their voices, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his hands. He was panicked and terrified, and couldn't gather his mind to cope with Chang'an's sudden school exam.
Lu Da's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "I see! Those people in the front, when they walked, their shoulders were stiff and their bodies swayed very little. Although they walked fast, they were very steady. Expanding outwards is because of wearing armor under the clothes. Those men are obviously about the same size as some of the people behind, but their footprints are heavier than theirs, which also shows that they are carrying heavy things on their bodies. With weapons."
A little smile appeared on Chang An's face, he felt that the apprentice was very smart and had a sense of accomplishment, so he took out a piece of bud candy from his bosom and rewarded Lu Da.
Lu Da was no longer a child. He stood tall and tall, and felt a little embarrassed to accept the "reward" for coaxing the child.
Chang An seemed to think that favoring one over another was not right, so he took out another piece of candy for Qing Liang, but Qing Liang had already lost his mind, unconsciously grasping the candy like a life-saving straw, neither in the mood to eat nor in the mood to feel embarrassed, Buzzing like a mosquito: "Then... what about the people behind? Are they also armed?"
The old orc arranged the guard post, took Chang'an's voice, and said to Qingliang: "Most of the people behind were coerced, look at the few people who walked last, their legs and feet were awkward, and they were injured, but Despite this, I still gritted my teeth and chased the people in front of me. When I entered the city, I didn’t see joy at all. Instead, I was trembling. I guess most of the family members fell into the hands of others. We might have a fight in the middle of the night—both inside and outside .”
Qingliang trembled wildly when he heard the words.
The old orc took a look at him and warned leisurely: "Child, don't pee your pants, there is no place to change it after you pee here, it will freeze in a while, this kind of ghost weather, you must freeze the bird. "
As the name suggests, Qingliang's face turned green.
The old orc had no choice but to tear his face away, and smiled helplessly at Chang An: "You apprentice, alas... you apprentice!"
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Chang An had just been replaced. After closing his eyes for a while, he was pushed awake. Lu Da pulled his sleeve hard: "Master, there are many people coming outside the wall!"
Chang An gave a "hmm" to signal him to be calm, stood up and walked outside the shelter, only to see the old orc turned his head and gestured to him.
This old thing is old, but he is not young. His eyes are as bright as will-o'-the-wisps in the dark.
Chang'an understood, picked up his saber, and walked down the tower without anyone noticing.
At this time, a few black shadows came towards the tower in the dark, the dark tower was like a giant beast, dormant there, motionless, shadowy, but oppressive.
The person who walked in the front to open the way was the body of a beast. His footsteps suddenly stopped, and for some reason, he felt that the tower was a bit sinister.
The people behind urged: "What are you doing? What's wrong?"
It was inconvenient for the giant beast to speak, so it had to scratch the snow with its front paws impatiently, and was immediately kicked from behind: "It's just to open the door, and I didn't let you kill people. You are not as courageous as the big stupid leader over here Big."
Another person said: "How did Boss Heifeng know that the leader is a fool and bold? I even brought a few women to pretend to be a tribe. I didn't expect that he let us in anyway."
The person who spoke before snorted coldly: "You know what a fart, the leader of this place built such a city wall and enclosed such a large area. Of course, his ambitions are not small. Naturally, many people are needed to guard so many places. He was so happy that someone came to join him, but with that group of trash holding him back, he knew at a glance that they were a group of 'fleeing people', and there was no reason not to let them in."
While speaking, the giant beast and several people took a few steps forward.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A torch suddenly lit up in the darkness, shaking people's eyes sorely, at the same time, there was an earth-shattering roar, and the speaker felt a rush of heat all over his face, and he didn't have time to close his mouth A mouthful of fishy smell was splashed inside.
The giant beast at the front was beheaded in this instant.
It wasn't until this moment that they saw clearly that behind the torch was a young man whose face could not be seen clearly. The man raised his hand and inserted the torch into the groove on the city wall. saber.
