The atmosphere in the tavern became more and more lively with the confrontation between Qin Yun and the Wu warriors. Although many drinkers were sympathetic to the obviously weak Qin Yun, there were more people who were afraid of the world being in chaos and making loud noises.
They struggled to push their way to the front, their faces red with excitement, their necks thick with excitement, their wide-eyed eyes full of excitement, waving their furry arms vigorously, and looking at their postures, they wanted to get out in person.
The folk customs of Youyuan Prefecture have always been strong and aggressive. Whether they are Wu tribe, native people or immigrants, they worship the strong and despise the incompetent and cowardly. Fighting in such a tavern is a very common thing.
There were even drinkers placing bets on the outcome of the two.
Seeing that Qin Yun did not kneel down to beg for mercy, the Wu warrior sneered, suddenly stepped forward, raised his fists and slammed them down on Qin Yun's head!
He was very powerful, and his huge fist roared through the air, which was very intimidating. Qin Yun quickly raised his hunting bow to block.
Click!
Both fists hit the bow body hard, and the hard bow body was broken into three pieces. If Qin Yun hadn't reacted quickly enough and used his strength to retreat in time, he might not have been able to avoid the heavy blow from the Wu warrior.
"Come again!"
The Wu warrior who missed the blow looked quite unhappy. He twisted his neck, hooked his fingers at Qin Yun and said, "I don't want your life today. I'll just beat you half to death!"
Qin Yun's expression was stern, his body was arched and his knees were slightly bent. He suddenly jumped forward and jumped forward, as fast as a leopard pouncing on its prey. His left and right hands were intertwined to grab the opponent.
The Wu warrior stood motionless, with a sarcastic look on his lips.
At the moment when Qin Yun's right hand was about to catch the opponent's shoulder, a dagger suddenly slipped out of his cuff and was held in his palm. The sharp blade shone with a fascinating cold light!
There was an exclamation of surprise all around. No one thought that Qin Yun actually had this trick.
However, the dagger tip could no longer penetrate the surface of the Wu warrior's outer armor, because a faint crimson light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, like a layer of armor firmly resisting external damage.
"Innate Armor!"
There were many knowledgeable people among the drinkers, and they suddenly shouted out loud.
What the witch warriors used was clearly innate energy protection, and there were very few innate strong ones in Bath City, not even the lord He Yeluo had such strength.
Qin Yun's expression finally changed. Before he could react, the Wu clan warrior punched him hard in the chest, knocking him away.
Bang!
This blow was so powerful that Qin Yun flew seven or eight steps backwards like a kite with its string broken, hitting the onlookers who were drinking, causing a scream and a roar.
He fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment and couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Although his body was bent in pain, he still held the dagger tightly in his hand and looked at the Wu warrior with a wolf-like ferocity.
The Wu warrior laughed "Hey" and was about to step forward when the wooden door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open. Five or six fully armed soldiers rushed in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Who's causing trouble here?"
The leading soldier roared loudly. The sound made the pots and bowls on the wooden platform buzz, and the tavern fell silent.
These are the soldiers responsible for patrolling the city of Bath. They are well-equipped and well-trained. They are no match for ordinary warriors, so they are still very intimidating.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Qin Yun and the two again, only to find that the Wu warrior had disappeared, leaving Qin Yun alone with his hand on his chest and breathing heavily.
The soldier separated the crowd arrogantly and looked at Qin Yun with an unkind expression: "Is it you?"
Qin Yun vomited another mouthful of blood. He reluctantly straightened up, took out a black iron nameplate from his arms and handed it to the other party: "I am Lord Heyeluo's personal guard. This is my identity plate."
The soldier took the black iron nameplate and looked at it. His face suddenly relaxed a lot and said, "Do you need help? I can send someone to escort you back."
As the lord of Bath City, the guards around Heyeluo must have a higher status than ordinary soldiers, but this soldier is a squad leader and a member of the Wu tribe, which is very polite.
Qin Yun shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I can go back by myself, thank you very much!"
The soldier nodded: "Then be careful. The city has not been very peaceful recently, and some barbarians are causing trouble."
He looked around and shouted impatiently: "What are you looking at! They are all gone. Remember not to make trouble, or I will throw you into the water prison!"
None of the drinkers dared to say a word. They either returned to their seats and continued drinking, or simply left.
Qin Yun didn't want to stay here anymore, and the owner of the tavern didn't dare to ask him for compensation for the damage.
After leaving the tavern, he stumbled all the way back to the lord's mansion.
When he got to his room and closed the door, the pain on Qin Yun's face disappeared without a trace, and there was a trace of deep thought in his eyes.
The fight that happened in the tavern just now was really strange. It was incredible that an innate warrior actually stood up for a thief, even if the latter was a member of the same clan.
Qin Yun guessed at that time that the Wu clan warrior was testing his own strength, but apart from He Yeluo's instruction, he could not think of any other reason why the other party did this.
Because Qin Yun didn't have any friends or enemies in the city of Bath.
It is precisely because of this guess that in the short contest with the opponent, he never showed a strength beyond his own realm, and even risked getting hurt.
Facts have proved that the punch that the Wu clan warrior hit on his chest saved his strength. Otherwise, with the innate Qi refining, it would not be a problem to kill him with a heavy punch.
Qin Yun ventured into Youyuan Prefecture this time. In addition to joining the Star Spirits to plot the Witch Clan's artifact, another very important purpose was to detect the Wu Clan's intelligence. This was related to the possible war that would break out in the future, and also related to the Tiancheng Sword.
Zong’s safety exists.
But if you want to get accurate and useful information, just watching the news is not enough. Heyeluo's recruitment is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, because the latter is a noble of the Wu clan with private soldiers.
With this goal and purpose in mind, Qin Yun doesn't mind playing the weak one. Of course, if he really faces danger or unbearable humiliation, he doesn't care about exposing his strength and killing his opponent to pieces!
The next morning, He Yeluo sent someone to call Qin Yun over.
The meeting place was the young lord's study, and the Witch warrior who injured Qin Yun in the tavern last night was present, but he had put on a set of armor, making him look even more majestic.
Seeing Qin Yun, he grinned and showed his white teeth, which seemed to be somewhat good-natured.
Qin Yun showed just the right expression of astonishment.
He Yeluo stood up and said with a smile: "Teng Yi, let me introduce to you. This is my family knight Heson. He is also the captain of the Guards!"
The aristocrats of the Witch Clan are similar to the traditions of the countries in the Western Regions. Family knights are those among the retainers who possess military skills. They cannot be awarded casually. Bravery and loyalty are indispensable.
Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, with a look of helplessness on his face, bowed and said, "I have met you, sir!"
Hessen took two steps forward, reached out and patted Qin Yun's shoulder and said with a smile: "I heard that the lord has just recruited a sharp archer, so I want to see your strength and give it a try. Don't mind, that stealer
I broke off the hands of the money guy and threw him into the water prison. This is my apology!"
Qin Yun shook his head and said, "I don't dare!"
He knew clearly in his heart that this was not Heson's act of his own initiative. It was clearly Heyeluo's intention to test his true identity.
In fact, this is easy to understand. As a noble of the Wu Clan, Heyeluo could not just recruit a foreigner as a guard. He would have to conduct multiple tests to confirm that he could trust him.
Hessen chuckled and stepped back to Heyeluo's side.
Heyeluo smiled and said: "Hessen's character is like this. I heard that he smashed your hunting bow. It just so happened that I had a good bow that I kept in the warehouse and gave it to you as compensation!"
Hessen picked up a long black cloth bag placed next to the desk and handed it to Qin Yun. Qin Yun reached out to take it, opened the bag and immediately revealed the bow inside.
This longbow is larger and longer than the hunting bow Qin Yun originally used. The bow body is made of high-quality wood and metal. It is thick and yet exquisite. It is definitely a rare and good bow.
Qin Yun tried to pull it, but it was at least as strong as the seven-stone bow, and ordinary people couldn't pull it at all.
He couldn't put it down and played with it for a while, then saluted Heyeluo again and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, sir!"
Heyeluo waved his hand and said: "You don't need to thank me, I still need you to use this bow to kill the enemy for me!"
Qin Yun looked calm and solemnly said: "I am willing to serve you!"
He Yeluo seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yun's attitude. He spread out the map in his hand and said: "In ten days, I will send troops to conquer the barbarian tribes in the wasteland. You follow Hesen and listen to his command. This time we can only
Victory, failure is absolutely not allowed!”
Although the Wu Clan is the well-deserved overlord of Youyuan Prefecture, there are also opposition and resistance forces in the state, mainly some indigenous tribes who are unwilling to surrender and cause trouble for the Wu Clan from time to time.
These indigenous tribes are collectively known as the Tuman tribes. They are familiar with the terrain and their movements are erratic, and they live in wastelands and snowfields where the power of the Wu tribe is out of reach. Therefore, they have not been completely wiped out for hundreds of years.
In fact, if the Wu Clan really made up their mind to ignore the cost, the Tuman tribe would have been wiped out long ago. The reason why they did not kill them all was because the Wu Clan also intended to use the Tuman tribe as a source of slaves and as a training target.
Of course, the troops that need training are not the regular army of the Wu clan, but nobles like He Yeluo who have private soldiers.
The outcome of the battle against the Tuman tribe will greatly affect Heyeluo's status and influence in the family! (To be continued...)
