As the saying goes, a good man will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.
Yao Yun naturally understands this truth. This is true in civilized eras, not to mention this era where barbarism and civilization are intertwined. Moreover, the barbarian tribes will be more explicit and straightforward. Once they gain the upper hand, they will push their limits and follow the rules.
The pole climbs up.
So Yao Yun didn't think much and directly asked Xi Guo if he had the ability to conquer these tribes.
But Yao Yun soon became disappointed.
Xidu's army is still there, numbering thousands, and has not been damaged. However, the people who control the war in this world are not ordinary soldiers, but powerful Qi refiners.
His cheap father took away all the elite warriors of the Xi Kingdom, especially the twenty-eight retainers who followed him. Each of them was a powerful Qi practitioner with advanced cultivation, and any one of them could conquer a tribe.
If these people had suppressed them in the past, the barbarian tribes would not have dared to think otherwise.
Now, the high-end combat power is gone, so naturally the ability to conquer the barbarian tribes is gone.
Yao Yun understood the situation and felt quite unwilling. Then he couldn't help but look at a certain bald man.
"Your Majesty, what do you think Uncle Long is doing..."
"Uncle Long, others have bullied us..."
"Hmph, you are overthinking this. This dragon has refining its horns and is in the dormant period, unable to use its power. Otherwise, it would have gone on an expedition with King Xi, so why bother living here!"
"Going to war? Why did my father go to war, and where did he go to fight? Why is the battlefield so dangerous that all the elites of the Xi Kingdom..."
Yao Yun asked as if refining a cannon.
The bald dragon pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty, you don't understand, you will understand in the future, but don't worry, although King Xi took away all the elites, he still left behind means to save his life, which is enough to protect you and Xidu's Zhou Quan
,So, you don’t need to panic!”
Wu Tong, who was standing aside, also said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Long said is that you don't have to worry. Let the barbarians from the barbarian tribes be arrogant for a while, and we will be able to regain our face in the future."
Wu Tong is one of the two great witches in the Xi Kingdom. Everyone calls him the Second Elder. He is highly respected by everyone in the Xi Kingdom. At this moment, he is looking at Yao Yun with a kind face.
Yao Yun really wanted to know about his cheap father, but unfortunately the bald dragon kept silent, and the second elder Wu Tong was even more experienced. When asked, he just smiled and hesitated, and couldn't hold back any useful information for a long time.
.
As for Cang Man, he answered all questions and did not dare to hide anything. Unfortunately, he did not know that although his martial arts had reached the level of his uncles, in the eyes of everyone, he was just a child like Yao Yun. Such a big deal
It was not revealed to him at all.
"Second Elder, what about you? Do you have the ability to attack? I heard that witches possess all kinds of powerful witchcraft and magical powers. You are the great witch of Xi Kingdom."
After Yao Yun asked, the second elder Wu Tong smiled bitterly: "Witches do have powerful power, but I am not good at fighting. My duties are to offer sacrifices, pray for blessings, divination, and cure diseases..."
While the second elder was chattering, the bald dragon said angrily: "I don't know how you have been the heir for so many years and let the great witch conquer and conquer. If you put it in the imperial capital, the nobles would probably laugh their heads off."
Yao Yun froze, this bald dragon was so abominable. He was always sarcastic and sarcastic to him, with a preaching tone and a look of hatred for iron. The most important thing is that he was unable to refute.
Bullying me, a time traveler?
Yao Yun kept wailing in his heart. The sting of integrating into this world was unavoidable. What made him most uncomfortable was that he did not have a golden finger or a grandfather.
The only dragon with hope of becoming a thigh is also bald.
It's hard to speak,
The bald dragon is very bad.
The atmosphere was awkward, and the loyal Cang Man immediately came out to save Yao Yun's face.
"Your Highness, Cangman wants to fight. As long as you give Cangman a thousand soldiers and horses, no, just five hundred."
Yao Yun's eyes lit up: "Are you really good at it?"
Cangman patted his chest and assured: "I have seen all the masters of the barbarian tribes. With the wise leadership of His Royal Highness, Cangman has the confidence to lead the army to defeat any tribe!"
Yao Yun: "What if one tribe unites with other tribes?"
Cangman touched his head: "That Cangman can't beat him."
Yao Yun shook his head helplessly: "They obviously reached a consensus in private, and the whole thing could be affected by one move. Forget it, let's find the situation later."
Cang Man was quite ashamed, but the bald dragon and the second elder Wu Tong looked at each other and said, "A single move can affect the whole body." It sounds very reasonable, but does this sound like what the young prince who is inexperienced in the world said?
After Yao Yun finished speaking, he suddenly thought of other things and spoke.
"Second Elder, Uncle Long, only the Second Elder who followed my father on the expedition returned from injury. I want to go see him. I will take the throne tomorrow, so I can ask if my father has anything to tell me."
This request was reasonable and no one objected. The bald dragon gave him a rare good look, which actually made Yao Yun "flattered".
The other dragon was seriously injured and has been recuperating in the underground palace of the witch temple for the past few days.
When Yao Yun entered the underground palace, he finally saw the real dragon in a pool!
The antlers are like a deer, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like a rabbit, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, the palms are like a tiger, and the ears are like an ox. Except for not being as tall as I remember, everything is just like in the myth.
Like a dragon.
Yao Yun felt relieved when he thought about how powerful the dragon could be, but the shocking scars all over the dragon's body made Yao Yun a little bit unbearable to look at.
Yao Yun was looking at Long, and Long was looking at him with full emotion.
Yes, Yao Yun was definitely not wrong, those were a pair of affectionate eyes, and the copper bell-like dragon eyes actually had a few sparkles in them. Even though he was scarred and dripping with dragon blood before, he did not act like this until he saw her.
To Yao Yun...
This emotion is very familiar to Yao Yun. It is the feeling of relatives, the joy and care of the elders in the family looking at the younger ones.
"I've grown a lot taller, but I'm just not strong. Eat more and exercise more!"
Long Erye also spoke verbally, but there was a strong sense of weakness in his voice, which made him seem a little weak.
"Second Master!"
Yao Yun called him a very respectful address. He knew that whether it was the bald dragon or the second master Long in front of him, although they recognized King Xi as their master, in fact, the relationship between them was not a simple master-servant relationship, but more of a brotherhood.
, even though the bald dragon looks mean-mouthed, he is actually someone who cares about him.
Otherwise, as a dragon, the absolute strongest person in this world with great supernatural powers, he cannot be free and happy wherever he goes, so why bother mocking a small noble prince in this country of Xi.
"Brother, Second Elder, I want to talk to the Crown Prince."
Bald Dragon, Wu Tong, and Cang Man naturally left the underground palace immediately without saying a word. Soon, there was only one person and one dragon left in the underground palace, which seemed empty.
Seeing everyone leaving, Yao Yun immediately wanted to speak, but Erye Long held out a dragon claw to himself.
Yao Yun was stunned for a moment, understood something, and immediately approached.
Later, Yao Yun found an ancient stone slab on the trembling dragon claws of Mr. Long.
