A quarter of an hour later, outside the Moon Temple.
Looking at the corpses of his companions lying scattered on the ground beside him, the leader of the team shivered. His face became extremely pale at this moment. He no longer had any expectation of reward for meritorious service, only deep panic and fear were left.
fear.
More than seventy people were slaughtered without even seeing what the enemy looked like...
What kind of terrifying existence are these enemies? What kind of terrifying strength do they have?
The commander felt his throat was extremely dry. Knowing that they had hit an iron plate this time, he pulled hard on the reins in his hand, trying to turn the horse's head and escape.
However, the old horse that had followed him in many battles seemed to be frightened out of fear at this moment, and seemed to have been petrified. No matter how much he pulled the reins and whipped the whip, it did not move.
Willing to move.
Seeing this scene, the commander became increasingly anxious and frightened. He loosened the reins and jumped off the horse, intending to leave the horse and the corpses of his companions on the ground and escape alone.
But as soon as he jumped off the horse, he felt an invisible force coming over him, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe and couldn't move forward. Even his bones made a "squeaking" sound from the pressure, and his whole body was shaking.
There was even a squeezing pain everywhere.
Just when the commander thought he was about to be crushed to death by this invisible force, a voice sounded in his ears:
"You've already come, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Tell me, who asked you to kill us? Attacking the patrol camp is a serious crime of genocide, but don't tell me you don't know."
This voice gave the commander a very strange feeling, as if the person speaking was a friend he had not seen for many years, which made him involuntarily feel a sense of intimacy and wanted to answer the other party's questions seriously.
At the same time, when this voice sounded, the invisible force pressing on him also lightened a lot.
After taking a breath, the commander hurriedly answered the other party's questions, fearing that if he answered too late, the other party would turn from an 'old friend' to an 'enemy'.
The corpses lying scattered on the ground are enough to prove that this 'old friend' is not so easy to get along with.
"It was the order of our leader, and we followed the order. I once asked the leader why he attacked the patrol camp, but he didn't answer. He just told me to go ahead and do it. He also said that not only was it not wrong to kill you, but it was wrong.
great merit."
When the commander said these words, he scolded the leader of their tribe in his heart: I really fucking believed in your evil deeds. This is not a great achievement, it is obviously a great disaster! You
If you want to curry favor with the nobles above, you have to see if you have the strength. Now, all of us will die for your greed!
Qin Shaoyou interrogated him a few more words with [Skillful Tongue], and at the same time observed his reaction with [Bright Eyes] to confirm that he was not lying and that he really didn't know the reason, so he discussed it in a low voice with Qi Longfei, Qin Qiaoer and others.
Then he ordered: "Take us to see your leader."
They wanted to find out what happened here in Qingtang, and why did these tribes dare to kill the patrol camp?
I want to understand even more, is this targeting the patrol camp? Or is it targeting them?
Qin Shaoyou originally thought that the commander would refuse, but at the worst he had to hesitate, and was already ready to let Taoist Qiu Shi take the bait.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his instructions, the commander did not hesitate at all and nodded directly in agreement, his tone even seemed a little impatient.
"Okay, okay, no problem, gentlemen, please follow me!"
What Qin Shaoyou didn't know was that there was one sentence in the commander's heart that he hadn't said out loud: If the leader is in the first year of junior high school, don't blame us for being in the fifteenth year. His greed has deceived so many of us, so don't blame us for being in the fifteenth year.
Blame me for betraying him. Besides, this is an order from the patrol battalion. How can I, a small tribal general, dare to refuse? Of course, I have to actively cooperate. Maybe if they see how cooperative I am, they can let me live...
With this idea in mind, the leader was very active in leading the way.
Qin Shaoyou and others quickly arrived at the tribe's settlement under his leadership.
This is a village composed of large and small watchtowers.
In the center of the village, the tallest and largest watchtower is the residence of the tribe leader.
This village composed of large and small watchtowers is like a small city, and the internal roads are also winding and complicated, forming a kind of maze formation.
If there are people who are not familiar with the terrain, even if they break through the outer watchtowers and enter the interior of the village, they will easily get lost, be attacked and killed by clan soldiers ambushing in the dark, or fall into a trap.
Qin Shaoyou and the others have a leader to lead the way, so naturally they don't have to worry about these problems.
In fact, even without this commander, with the abilities of Qin Shaoyou and others, it would not be difficult to destroy this watchtower village.
There is no need for Li Erlang to show his true identity, he just needs to let Gunshanjun bump into him all the way.
Although these stone watchtowers are strong, it is still difficult to block the 'death roll' of the Rolling Tiger.
A group of people quickly arrived at the central tower without encountering any obstruction.
It was already dark at this time, but in this big watchtower, it was brightly lit.
Outside the watchtower, you can hear singing and dancing coming from a long distance away.
Qin Shaoyou even heard someone's excited voice while relying on [Listening]: "Keep singing, keep dancing. Our tribe has made a great contribution this time. When Baoji comes back with the head, I will personally send it to the royal city to pay tribute to him."
Our tribe got more territory and slaves in exchange... Hahaha!"
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he raised his hand and patted the commander named Baoji.
"The head of your family is looking forward to your return. Let's go and give him a surprise."
You don't call this a surprise, you call it a fright...
The commander complained in his heart, and obediently led Qin Shaoyou and others into the watchtower in the center of the village.
The tribal soldiers guarding outside the watchtower didn't even need Qin Shaoyou and others to take action. The ghosts and underworld soldiers hiding in the night quietly emerged from behind them and captured them in one fell swoop.
The movements were so clean and neat that these tribal soldiers didn't even make a sound.
The only thing I can see is that my scalp feels numb.
A group of people entered the watchtower unimpeded and saw the leader who was drinking and having fun.
The man on the other end was very happy when he saw Baoji.
"Haha, Baoji, you are finally back. This time you have made great contributions to the tribe. When I get to the royal city and receive the reward, I will definitely help you get an official position."
After drawing the cake, the man couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the head? Where is the head you brought back?"
Baoji didn't say anything, but looked at the leader with a strange expression on his face, which made the leader a little creepy. He felt that his eyes were wrong, and he felt like he was looking at a dead person.
The leader was stunned for a moment, and looked past the security machine and landed on Qin Shaoyou and others. Only then did he see the patrol battalion official uniforms they were wearing.
His originally excited expression instantly turned into shock, and he blurted out: "Baoji, what are you doing? I asked you to bring the head, but I didn't ask you to bring the person!"
The leader thought that Baoji had misheard his order and missed a word.
Qin Shaoyou strode up to the leader.
On the way, a guard tried to stop him, but as soon as he put his hand on the handle of the knife, he was hit by a powerful burst of blood energy. His whole body was blown away, and he hit the stone wall and fainted. The knife in the sheath was also broken.
into pieces.
"I asked him to bring us here. Don't be nervous, relax. Tell me, who asked you to send people to kill us?"
Qin Shaoyou stood in front of the trembling leader, smiling and very friendly.
It would have been more friendly if the knife in his hand was not placed on the leader's neck.
