Wen Qingzhu frowned when he saw that Denton seemed to take good care of this narrow-eyed man.
She took a cursory look at the tribe that had just migrated. She saw that there were at least fifty people and thousands of cattle, horses and sheep.
It was completely different from the two tribes they encountered before.
The tribe that Denton belongs to is more affluent, and his behavior is more organized than those he met before.
"Beidou, we may need to change direction and join Tudan."
Wen Qingzhu looked away and turned to lead the horse.
Beidou followed her, silently mounting his horse without saying anything.
The two soon heard here.
About two hours later, Denton arrived here with the two people from before.
The body of the narrow-eyed man was soon discovered.
Denton's eyes narrowed and he checked the body. He was shocked to find that his neck was broken directly from behind without any resistance.
Seeing the corpse, the expressions of the two previous people changed.
Denton got up, went to the river to check, and then carefully looked at the horse hoof prints on the ground.
Finally, he looked toward the southeast with a distant gaze.
Who are they
I don't know how long it took, but Denton turned around and said to the person coming behind him: "Guntlit, take his body back, and I'll chase him over here and take a look."
The older Gaunt quickly tried to stop him: "Brother, it's better not to go! They are too scary, they actually killed people like this! Those are not ordinary people!"
"It's okay, just take good care of Li Te and send his body back." Denton looked down at the body on the ground with a complicated mood.
When he met those two people before, he felt that they were not easy to mess with.
That's why I gave him a few special warnings, but I didn't expect that Gaunt and Lite still didn't stop him.
After Denton finished explaining, he threw up the reins, pinched the horse's belly hard, and left here quickly.
As soon as he left, Gunte turned around blankly and looked at the body of the man with narrow eyes, feeling regretful in his heart.
If he had followed Brother Denton's words, wouldn't something like this happen
Just as he was regretting it, Lite suddenly said: "Brother, Brother Denton didn't blame you just now. He must have known that we couldn't persuade him, so it's not our fault."
"Li Te..." Gaunt turned around and saw his brother's eyes were calm, but they looked very powerful.
For some reason, his heart slowly calmed down, he turned around, picked up the body, and returned to the tribe.
When they came back, the tribe exploded.
Gaunt originally wanted to explain, but Li Te stopped him and said to everyone: "We don't know. We just followed Brother Danton out to look for someone, and then we found out that he was dead."
Lee Teuk has always been timid, talkative, and appears to be honest.
As soon as he spoke, the people around him no longer questioned anything. After all, they did follow Denton out.
At this moment, a rough voice came from behind the crowd: "Give it! Give it!"
Gaunt and Lit suddenly stood up with chills. When they looked up, they saw a burly man with a heavy back and a bearded face walking through the crowd.
He was wearing a wolf-skin coat, always looking at the left corner of his mouth, and his copper bell-like eyes looked like he was about to eat someone.
The big man came in, followed by five young men of similar stature, and everyone immediately got out of the way.
Gaunt's palms were sweating, while Lite was grabbing his brother's sleeves, his eyes trembling.
At this moment, outside the tribe, Denton came back on horseback.
He hurried over, got off his horse, stared at the people in front of him and asked, "Balu! You promised the clan leader that you would never cause trouble in the clan!"
The fierce man at the front smiled broadly, glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Look, the last son of the former patriarch is dead, so why would you, Denton, have the nerve to show up here! If you're sensible, come and have a fight with me. Give up your position as the tribe’s number one warrior to me!”
Denton thought about just now, not long after he chased out, he found that the footprints were missing, and he felt extremely bad.
Faced with Balu's provocation, Denton felt that his emotions were a little out of control: "Now Daqi and the Huns are at war. We have lost several times. Soon, the royal family will recruit troops! You still think about such personal matters?" resentment!"
"After saying so much, it's not you Denton who is afraid!" Balu didn't care at all what Denton said.
Denton took a deep breath to calm down: "Look how he died! Someone pinched the back of his head with his bare hands and broke his neck instantly. Can you do it?"
Everyone was startled, and Balu immediately lowered his head to look, and even squatted down to check.
Someone behind Balu laughed: "Denton! Are you worried about losing to your big brother? That's why you made up this lie!"
"Shut up!" Balu suddenly stood up and shouted with a cold face.
Everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak. Denton knew that Balu had seen the problem and felt a little relieved.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Balu ask him with bright eyes: "Denton! Tell me where the person who killed this kid is! Let's wipe out the past!"
"Balu, calm down." Denton tried to calm down his anger and tried to persuade Balu, "Those two people are definitely not easy to mess with. You and I can't beat them together! What we have to do now is to speed up as soon as possible. Go meet up with the Fourth Prince’s people!”
"Hmph! Even if you don't tell me, I can find it!" Balu didn't care what he said, turned around and left.
He was really excited. Such a powerful person was either the strongest warrior under the royal family or a member of the White Wolf tribe. No matter who it was, as long as he defeated that person, Nabalu's name would spread throughout the Huns!
Then he will have whatever he wants!
Watching Baluli go, Denton was helpless.
Lite suddenly came over and whispered: "Brother Danton, the clan leader is looking for you."
Denton's heart sank. Sure enough, what was supposed to come had come!
When they arrived at the tent, Denton knelt down in front of an old man who was over six months old but in good spirits.
He was holding a string of beads in his hand, and there were two open wounds on his face that would never heal, so he kept them there.
Denton folded his right hand and put it on his left chest, lowered his head and said hello: "Clan leader!"
The old man raised his eyelids and asked, "Xituo is dead?"
"Um."
"Killed by who?"
"have no idea."
"have you seen?"
"yes."
"what kind of person?"
"A man and a woman, the woman has no martial arts, and the man's martial arts is unfathomable."
The old man pondered for a while and suddenly mentioned something: "Two days ago, news came from the east that a tribe of more than ten people had been poisoned and died, and a hunting team of more than twenty people encountered a pack of wolves. The whole army was wiped out, and the corpses were eaten by wolves until only the bones were left. Some living people brought back news that they were a man and a woman, riding two horses all the way north. The women had no characteristics, but the men were indeed brave. I heard they were worthy Better than Master Qi Moche back then!"
He looked at Denton steadily: "Do you think it was them you met these two people?"
Denton's breathing stopped, and it took him a long time to lower his head and answer: "I don't know."
The old man sighed, looked at the north and said: "The predecessor of the Wu Clan once predicted that we Xiongnu will eventually invade Daqi and win the world, but wars are never guaranteed to win."
Denton raised his head, his hands trembling slightly.
The old man turned to look at him: "The Qi army recently left Yonghe Pass and the second prince failed. Let's focus on following the fourth prince from now on."
"Clan leader, this is—" Denton was shocked. He didn't understand why the clan leader made a choice so quickly.
But the patriarch just waved his hand: "You go down, and you don't have to worry about Balu's affairs from now on. In troubled times, you can't conquer the world with just brute force."
Three days later, Wen Qingzhu and Beidou were squatting on a gently undulating slope.
As soon as they arrived, they tied up their horses and lay down on the slope to rest.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the gloomy sky. The air was very dull, and Huo Zhezi had also become a little damp recently.
It looks like it's going to rain in the next two days.
She looked to the southeast. According to that person's speed, they would be here today at the latest.
Thinking about the places she and Beidou walked through in the past half month, the people they met, and the things that happened, apart from the Jianda family in the beginning, the rest were extremely dangerous.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Xiongnu were really different from Daqi.
The people's wisdom is not yet enlightened, and there are smart people, but Wen Qingzhu only met two people who were smart and knew how to advance and retreat.
Once it was Jianda's family, but after all, they wanted something from themselves.
The other time was the tribe that Denton belonged to. Except for the narrow-eyed man with no eyes, everyone else was fine.
She stood up, brought the grain bag over, broke off a piece of dried meat, and chewed it expressionlessly, her cheeks now feeling sore.
Beidou also came over and ate with her.
Compared to Wen Qingzhu, he ate much faster.
Along the way, they consumed half of the food they exchanged for wolf skins.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help feeling that the food was single and scarce, and the Xiongnu people were really in trouble.
But when he thought about whether ordinary people would understand that it was like burning, killing and looting, the sympathy in Wen Qingzhu's heart immediately disappeared.
Around dusk, Wen Qingzhu saw a bullock cart with several sheep slowly coming over from a distance.
She looked intently, could the person coming be a dirtbag
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Beidou and asked him to go and investigate.
If it was that person, he would definitely notice it in advance.
Seeing Beidou approaching quietly, the bullock cart in front quickly stopped.
When Beidou was about to pass by, the curtain of the bullock cart suddenly opened, revealing a familiar face.
Beidou immediately stood up.
Wen Qingzhu ran out quickly, and the ox cart started again, and soon stopped in front of Wen Qingzhu.
Tudan, wearing the clothes of a Hun boy, jumped out of the car and threw himself into Wen Qingzhu's arms: "Sister!"
Wen Qingzhu touched his head and looked up at the man driving the bullock cart.
Although his appearance had changed, Wen Qingzhu recognized the familiar eyes at once and said with a smile: "Feitian."
The driver Feitian got out of the car and handed her a letter while saying in Hun dialect: "Letter!"
Wen Qingzhu took it and looked at it, but it was a letter written by Su Lu: The prince led the army out of the border. On the surface, he was attacking the Huns, but in fact, he was looking for you. This time he brought Lord Lei Yan with him, and he must also want to save Lei Shuo. Miss, come out. If possible, I hope you can join the prince as soon as possible.
After reading the letter, Wen Qingzhu destroyed it casually. She did not want to join Fu Lie for the time being.
He turned around and looked at Feitian. As expected, he still spoke very little as before, but he was very useful.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the bullock cart behind him and was very curious. He couldn't help but ask, "Who else is in the cart?"
"Sister." Feitian turned around silently, led Wen Qingzhu to the bullock cart, and opened the curtain.
Wen Qingzhu took a closer look and saw a thin woman lying inside.
Hearing their movements, he actually opened his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu asked in surprise: "Is she still conscious?"
"Yes." Feitian pointed inside and motioned for her to go in and take a look.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and went in, and then saw a delicate face, with very clear eyes, but full of hidden sadness.
Glancing at Feitian's sister, Wen Qingzhu discovered that except for her face, the rest of her body, including her hands, feet, and neck, were wrapped tightly.
Wen Qingzhu noticed something strange and looked carefully at the woman's face. The seemingly fair and rosy face actually had a light purple color floating on it!
