The Grand Elder and the Chamber of Commerce planned well.
While Ao Wu is away, let Chen Mu take over the position of Wolf King. After he is firmly seated, Ao Wu will no longer be around.
Ao Wu was raised by the old Wolf King.
Ao Wu has shown extremely high talent since he was very young. His talent is better than that of the old Wolf King, and he is also very good at strategy. He does not look like an inexperienced young man at all. He has a calm personality and a strong sense of responsibility. Although his personality is a bit cold, he is not
Not violent.
Besides, he is still so young, and there is still room for growth in terms of both combat power and strategy. Given time, he will definitely be able to lead the Frostwolf clan to a further step.
It’s just that Ao Wu is too independent.
His family name was Ao, and his father was originally a warrior under the old Wolf King. Unfortunately, he died in a battle at a young age. He has no background and is not too close to other tribes. Although he calls the elder a teacher, he still
In addition to due respect, there will be no extra accommodation.
He is upright and strict in dealing with things, but this is also the bad thing. There is no shadow corner under the sun. His cold and unreasonable appearance is the source of the intolerance of the Chamber of Commerce and the Elders. They would rather have a reasonable and mediocre person than an eye-catching one.
The shrewd royal family does not rub the sand inside.
The Great Elder and the Chamber of Commerce only tried to tie him up with marriage and soften him at first, without actually trying to remove him from his position. Unexpectedly, he turned around and found a young foreigner of unknown origin. This seemed to cut off the Wolf King.
The last link with other forces may be.
This is too dangerous. An uncontrolled wolf king is too dangerous for them.
That's why they couldn't wait to replace him when they finally caught an opportunity like this where Ao Wu was not present.
Seeing Shuangyu relenting, the great elder's eyes showed a bit of joy, and he said tentatively: "Then it's agreed, the winner is the king in the Yuehua Square competition. Is the White Tower going to recommend Ao Jing to participate in the competition?"
Among the Great Elders, Ao Jing is a good boy, but not as good as Chen Mu. Moreover, he has no ambition to be the Wolf King and has a gentle personality. This is like going to the battlefield but not having murderous intentions. He can be fatal at critical moments.
"That's why you guys have to worry so much." Shuang Yu narrowed her eyes and her tone did not distinguish between happiness and anger.
The arena match was scheduled for the evening, and changing the Wolf King was a big event. Yuehua Square was already full of people, whispering to each other about the situation.
"I feel like it hasn't been long since the last time I selected the Wolf King. Why is there another change?"
"I heard that the Wolf King has disappeared. Isn't this the Fire Feather Clan on the Western Front declaring war? There's nothing we can do about it."
"Why are you afraid of them? Just fight and that's it. With the Wolf King here, who should we be afraid of in the north?"
"Tsk, it can't be that simple. This matter is complicated. I heard that our Wolf King has not been in the north recently." A gray wolf orc insider seemed to interject.
"Not in the north? It's impossible. Didn't he just come back with the fleet after the meeting of the seven royal clans?" someone next to him asked.
The corners of Gray Wolf's lips raised proudly: "Don't you know this? I heard that His Royal Highness the Wolf King recently showed up in the Cocoon Rat Underground Palace in Southern Xia. Now other tribes are saying that Frost Wolf and Cocoon Rat are colluding."
"The quasi-queen our Wolf King was looking for before was a cocoon orc. Do you know about the cocoon orc? It's a group of rats who created orcs from cocoons, and they obeyed the words of those rats."
When the people around him heard this, they all came over curiously: "Didn't you say he was a mixed-blood? Why did he become a cocoon orc? Then wouldn't it be troublesome if he used the Wolf King to control the North?"
"Yes, I heard that the Wolf King doted on him very much in the past. He even gave him his wolf teeth?"
"Isn't that true?" Gray Wolf lowered his voice: "This time, the identity of the cocoon beastman was discovered by other tribes. He killed many other royal tribesmen in Wanze City and then took the opportunity to escape. Our Wolf King has no idea.
Instead of returning to the northern border, I followed my little lover to the Southern Xia Cocoon Rat's Nest."
"Hey, what kind of wolf king is this? Isn't it too irresponsible?" Hang Shiqi was wearing a bamboo hat and a pure black robe, covering his whole body from air to air, pushing a wheelchair in his hand.
Ao Wu was sitting in a wheelchair. The wheelchair had a roof and a curtain hung down to cover his face. In fact, he could already move around on his own, but Hang Shiqi insisted and told him to rest more and walk less, so he agreed.
.
When the gray wolf heard Hang Shiqi cheering, he thought he was one of his own, smiled friendly at him, and continued: "That's right, I also heard that if the cocoon orc is handed over this time, we will change to a wolf king to express our position.
, this battle can’t be fought.”
"Ah, no wonder the Wolf King needs to be replaced. Who do you want to replace him?" Hang Shiqi asked in the crowd.
Gray Wolf Orc: "I think Chen Mu is good. I heard that he was the eldest apprentice of the old Wolf King, and his grades were the best among the heirs back then. Unfortunately, the old Wolf King was more interested in his younger apprentice. He didn't want to argue with his younger apprentice, so he quit on his own initiative.
competition.”
"That's great." Hang Shiqi nodded and asked casually: "They hired you to say these things. How much do you pay at one time? If you have money, can you bring your brothers to make money with you?"
A flash of panic flashed in the Gray Wolf Orc's eyes: "What money? It's nothing. I'm just sharing the news with you."
"Oh." Hang Shiqi's cloak raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "Then you should go to the medical clinic when you have time. Selective deafness and auditory hallucinations are also quite powerful."
Only then did the gray wolf orc realize that Hang Shiqi was here to cause trouble. He blushed and asked rudely: "You think what I said is wrong, then you can tell me why the Western Front was forced to be like this, and there was such a fuss that the Wolf King was replaced.
It’s so bad, but our Wolf King still hasn’t shown up yet?”
Hang Shiqi lazily drawled: "Who knows? Maybe he hasn't fought for a long time, so he's just waiting for the Elders' Council and the Chamber of Commerce to help him set up a place to stretch his muscles? Or maybe he's doing something to bully his master and destroy his ancestors.
Relying on the power of his family to get away with it, and also coveting the position of Wolf King, he is just waiting for today's opportunity to clean up the family?"
"Impossible, His Highness the Wolf King is not in the North at all." Gray Wolf said confidently. If he had not received accurate information from the Chamber of Commerce that the Wolf King was not in the North, he would not have dared to arrange the opponent so blatantly.
"What if?" Hang Shiqi said.
Gray Wolf: "Then I'll twist off the head and use it as a ball for you to play with."
"Hey, I don't want it. I'm afraid it's too light and it will fly away when the wind blows." Hang Shiqi pushed the wheelchair and left.
On the ring, Chen Mu had already entered the ring, and beside him stood the president of the chamber of commerce and the great elder who looked happy.
"Everyone." The Great Elder looked at the audience: "You should have heard about the recent events. Our Highness, the Wolf King, was deceived by the cocoon orcs and his current whereabouts are unknown. The Western Front is in urgent need. The Fire Feather Tribe will send troops in two days. In order to
To give an explanation to the other six tribes, and to ensure the peace of the Northern Territory, the Northern Territory invites everyone to bear witness today. We will choose an acting wolf king to come out and tide over the difficulties together."
"According to tradition, there is a competition in the ring, and until one party admits defeat or dies, the winner will become our acting wolf king."
"The person next to me is Chen Mu, the representative jointly elected by the Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Elders. Please ask the Priesthood to send your candidate."
"The candidates are here, give in, give in." Hang Shiqi pushed the wheelchair and rushed towards the ring. The wind picked up a corner of the bamboo hat, revealing Hang Shiqi's silver-white hair and a beautiful neck.
No one recognized him and looked down: Wheelchair?
What do you mean? The priesthood sent a disabled person to fight?
Only the Grand Elder and the President of the Chamber of Commerce felt that the shouting sounded familiar, and they had vague suspicions.
Is it possible? Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu are back? Doesn't it mean that they are still stuck in Nanxia and dare not show up? And I heard that Ao Wu was seriously injured. If it is really him who is sitting in a wheelchair...
Hang Shiqi brought the wheelchair to the edge of the ring, and Shuang Yu came up to him and led the two of them onto the ring, which was regarded as acknowledgment of the identity of the person in the wheelchair as a contestant.
"Don't you want to compete in the arena? Let's get started." Ao Wu opened the curtain and stood up from the wheelchair, revealing a familiar cold and stern look.
Wolf...His Royal Highness the Wolf King!
There were exclamations one after another from the audience, and there were more voices in these cries, with a sense of peace of mind and joy, as if they had found their backbone.
Even though the Council of Elders and the Chamber of Commerce instigated him in every possible way, Ao Wu was still the well-deserved Wolf King in the eyes of the people in the north, their manager and protector.
"Ao Wu? You..." The great elder's expression changed. This was so surprising: "Why are you here?"
Ao Wu asked back: "Then where does the teacher think I should be?"
The president of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but said: "Didn't you go to Nanxia with Hang Shiqi?"
"The president knows my whereabouts very clearly." Ao Wu did not hide anything: "Yes, I went to Southern Xia. The Cocoon Rat captured my queen, and I went to rescue her."
The president of the Chamber of Commerce pressed forward step by step: "Save Hang Shiqi? He is a cocoon orc."
"Hang Shiqi is a Cocoon Orc, but he was not controlled by the Cocoon Rat, nor did he trick me into colluding with the Cocoon Rat. Instead, the Fire Feather Tribe has colluded with the Cocoon Rat for a long time, confusing right and wrong, and slandering our tribe. They want to fight me, Shuang.
The wolf clan followed, and there is no reason to avoid war. When will we, the frost wolves, have to answer to others?" Ao Wu raised his sword eyebrows, carrying an air of calmness and self-reliance, but it gradually calmed down the people who had been hesitant in these days.
.
"It turns out that His Highness the Wolf King is going to save someone. That's right. After all, that is His Highness the Wolf King's companion, the Queen of the North. She should be rescued. It would be a joke if the Wolf King couldn't even protect his own wife."
"His Royal Highness the Wolf King is so wise and powerful, how could he be easily deceived."
"I was wondering how His Highness the Wolf King could be colluding with the Cocoon Rat. It turns out that it was those shameless birds from the Fire Feather Tribe who were pouring black water on us."
"Hey, what do you mean by the Council of Elders and the Chamber of Commerce? It's crazy to want to replace the Wolf King and help outsiders pour black water on our Highness. Fortunately, His Highness the Wolf King is back, otherwise the outcome would be unimaginable."
"His Royal Highness the Wolf King is right, we will fight if we fight. Aren't we in the north relying on strong combat power to gain a foothold on the mainland? Those miscellaneous birds were beaten by our Highness the Wolf King three years ago. How can we be afraid?
them?"
When Ao Wu first took over the position of Wolf King, the Fire Feather Clan also bullied Ao Wu when he was young and took the opportunity to raise an army. However, Ao Wu and the newcomers who had just formed a hunting team killed him ruthlessly. At that time, there were only more than a hundred people hunting.
The team was stunned and defeated a thousand orcs of the other side without any chance to fight back. Finally, they captured the Fire Feather Clan's coach alive, ending the dispute and once again using their blood to prove the strength of the Frostwolf Clan.
Listening to the discussion of the people below, the faces of the great elder and the president of the Chamber of Commerce became paler. They took advantage of Ao Wu's absence and worked hard for many days to build momentum, but Ao Wu only showed his face and fell apart.
The elder suppressed his panic. The more he could retreat at this time, the less he could retreat. If he retreated today, their long-planned plan would be in vain, and they would be even less able to control Ao Wu in the future. The elder had a stern face and acted like an elder.
The lesson said: "Leaving your post without authorization, mistrusting others, and putting the Northern Territory in danger. No matter how your Highness the Wolf King excuses you, this is always a dereliction of duty on your part."
"Then what does the great elder want?" Ao Wu glanced over, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "Let Chen Mu have a fight with me and win someone to become the wolf king?"
"Exactly." The great elder nodded. In his eyes, if Ao Wu accepted the challenge and came to the stage in a wheelchair, he must have been injured. Chen Mu was not weak in strength and had a great chance of winning. If Ao Wu avoided the challenge, then what he had just said
When people gather together, their hearts will disperse. The Wolf King must be the strongest. This is the belief of the orcs in the North.
"Then come." Ao Wu nodded in agreement, casually agreeing to have lunch together today.
"Please." Chen Mu's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He knew that Ao Wu had been collecting evidence that he poisoned the old wolf king. As long as Ao Wu was around, he would never be able to stand up. Today was his only chance. If he succeeded, he would
You can get what you want and become the new king of the north.
The two of them changed their animal forms, and two tall and powerful frost wolves suddenly appeared in the center of the ring.
Chen Mu's body was strong and slender, and he walked around the ring lightly, staring at Ao Wu, looking for opportunities to attack.
Ao Wu was even taller, with silver back hairs sprouting from head to toe. He leaned over and let out a low roar like a demonstration.
Chen Mu suddenly got angry and jumped towards Ao Wu, his fangs attacking Ao Wu's throat.
Ao Wu dodged slightly, then slapped Chen Mu hard on the face with his backhand claw. Three claw marks were left, and blood immediately appeared.
Chenmu retreated in pain, found an opening, and rushed forward again.
The two moved very quickly, and they exchanged dozens of moves in an instant. Hang Shiqi was thinking about Ao Wu's injury, and he couldn't understand the frost wolf fight. He only felt extremely worried and stretched his neck: "How are they doing now?
, who has the advantage?”
"Don't worry, His Highness the Wolf King is very strong. It was more than enough to win against Chenmu three years ago. Now he is just as strong as he was then." Shuang Yu comforted him.
Hang Shiqi was still worried: "But he is injured."
As if in response to Hang Shiqi's words, Ao Wu's movements were sluggish. It seemed that he was a little weak due to serious injuries, and finally showed his flaws.
Chen Mu was suppressed by him for a long time and found a flaw. He thought he had a chance, so he couldn't wait and rushed towards Ao Wu and bit the side of his neck.
This time, he didn't hold back and used 100% of his strength. Ao Wu had already anticipated this, so he charged up and kicked Chen Mu hard on the side of the face.
Chen Mu felt as if his head had been hit by a rocky mountain, his bones were exploding in pain, his ears were ringing, and he could no longer stand still, staggering and falling to the ground.
"You are playing tricks on me, you are not injured at all!" Chen Mu spat out two broken fangs and a mouthful of blood foam, holding his head and said bitterly. It was impossible for an injured frost wolf to use such terrifying power just now.
Ao Wu didn't say anything. He pressed his sharp claws against Chen Mu's throat, lowered his eyes and sneered: "When did I say that I was injured?"
Chen Mu raised his head in confusion, and met a pair of eyes full of murderous intent.
"The blow just now was for the master. Senior brother." Ao Wu said word by word.
Chen Mu understood that Ao Wu was not injured at all. He was deliberately waiting for this arena to take the opportunity to kill himself and avenge the old wolf king. Chen Mu was a little panicked and shouted: "I give up! You can't kill me, I
Already given up!"
"Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you now." Ao Wu handed over his hand and turned back to his human form: "Come here, take him back to the palace and interrogate him properly."
Ao Wu wanted to kill Chen Mu, but he did it just now without giving him any time to admit defeat. But he just changed his mind. Dying in the ring, as a loser in challenging the Wolf King, would be too cheap for Chen Mu.
He should kneel on the execution ground and have his head cut off. Along with his sins, he should be remembered in the history of the North and be cast aside by future generations forever.
Ao Jing got the order and led several people to drag Chen Mu down, who was seriously injured.
But the Great Elder took a step forward and blocked him. "Stop, he has already admitted defeat. Chen Mu's challenge to the Wolf King was jointly recommended by our Council of Elders and the Chamber of Commerce, and His Highness the Wolf King and the Priest Court also approved it. Even if he failed in the challenge, it was only due to his strength."
No, if you haven’t made any mistakes, how can the Wolf King arrest people at will?”
Before Ao Wu could speak, Hang Shiqi suddenly interjected: "This time in Southern Xia, in the Cocoon Rat Underground Palace, we saw a document with transaction records between the Chamber of Commerce and Cocoon Rat. They bought some poisonous weeds unique to Southern Xia. With these
Evidence, we have determined that there are still doubts about the old Wolf King case, and he is being detained for interrogation as a major suspect. Why, does the Great Elder think there is something wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the great elder, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Chen Mu all changed, and Ao Wu and Ao Jing were also stunned.
The great elder was the first to come to his senses: "What transaction records are there? Take them out and take a look."
Hang Shiqi's eyes rolled: "Can I show it to you? The Great Elder is so protective. What if he is an accomplice? I will show it to you so that you can find an opportunity to confess?"
Great Elder: "If you don't take it out, how will I know whether what you said is true or false?"
Hang Shiqi raised his chin: "Of course it's true, I am the Wolf King of the North... My partner, why are you slandering you for this kind of thing?"
"You are a cocoon orc after all. Maybe you are deliberately instigating a conflict between the Chamber of Commerce and His Highness the Wolf King?"
"Great elder, be careful. Hang Qiyi is my partner. Any slanderous remarks about him will be regarded as provoking me." Ao Wu grabbed Hang Qiyi's wrist and held him in a protective posture.
Bringing it into his arms: "I have also seen that record with my own eyes. When the matter is found out, it will naturally be published."
"There will be a meeting later to discuss sending troops to the Western Front. Boss, what do you think?" Ao Jing dragged Chen Mu, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, with one hand and urged Ao Wu in a low voice.
Ao Wu: "Well, let's go back."
Ao Wu brought Hang Shiqi, Shuang Yu, Ao Jing and his party back victoriously. The great elder and the president of the chamber of commerce were left in disgrace, but they couldn't stop them. They said they would be busy discussing the war before going up to stop them.
That is delaying the fighter plane.
Ao Wu led people back to the palace. On the way, he asked Hang Shiqi: "That record..."
Hang Shiqi blinked: "I made it up."
Ao Wu: I know.
But I still touched his head and said, "The editor is not bad."
Hang Shiqi was praised and said proudly: "But it's not all false. The kind of slow-death drug you mentioned that can make people lose their memory is really available in Cocoon Rats. So I think if they poisoned it, it would probably be
Bought medicine from Cocoon Rat."
Ao Wu and Ao Jing both stopped in their tracks: "What?!":,,,
