The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

"Xu Qingfeng?"

Ben lay on the haystack with his eyes closed and meditating. Xu Qingfeng opened his eyes and saw Tasia approaching with a small cloth bag.

"Are you hungry?" Tasia handed the bag through the gap between the wooden fences into the house, "I brought you something to eat."

"Dry food again?" Xu Qingfeng stood up, went to the door and squatted down, turned out all the things in the cloth pocket, and sighed dissatisfied and helpless.

"It's good to have it!" Tasiya glared, "Do you think who cares about you?"

Xu Qingfeng raised his eyelids and gave Tasiya a cool look: "Then who is who? Isn't that who sent me to that so-and-so?"

A series of "then who" made Tasiya dizzy, but she was indeed the one who promised not to hurt Xu Qingfeng, and then replaced Xu Qingfeng without saying anything. , I am the Demon Cult, you are too naive to believe my words!"

"Wow——" Xu Qingfeng deliberately exaggerated his reaction with a blank face: "Is this dry food poisonous?"

"You!" Tasiya put on a serious face: "Forget it if you don't eat!"

"Eat." Xu Qingfeng laughed, pulled a piece of dry bread into his mouth, rummaged in the cloth pocket while chewing, and found that besides a few pieces of bread, there was also a water bag.

"I said why it's so heavy." Xu Qingfeng suddenly said, but it's not difficult to swallow dry food if there is water.He opened the pouch plug, and there was a strong smell of alcohol inside.

"Alcohol?!" Xu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. He doesn't drink well. After the last time, Chen Ke strictly prohibited him from drinking.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. It's not like a military camp here. The temperature at night is very low. You can keep out the cold with wine." Tasiya smiled: "Look, I'm still very good to you."

Xu Qingfeng nodded with a smile, still didn't drink the wine in the pouch, and ate the dry food bit by bit.

"That kid in the afternoon is your brother?"

"Ah."

"How old is he?" Xu Qingfeng gestured to Yaqi's height: "Look, it's about the same size as you..."

"One year younger than me."

"Five?"

"Eight years old." Tasiya shook her head, "He didn't grow any longer until he was eight years old."

Xu Qingfeng nodded. Tasiya was 30 years old 36 years after she stopped growing at the age of six, so his younger brother should be 35 years old...

Tasiya hesitated for a moment, and said: "This is a kind of disease. Many people died because of this. Yaqi and I are lucky, but his brain was burned out in the high fever..."

It turned out to be a little fool.Xu Qingfeng didn't know how to comfort him, so he handed the wine bag to Tasiya.

Tasiya shook her head, indicating that she was used to it.

"What will they do to me?" Xu Qingfeng asked Tasiya about the specific situation, "What did you say this afternoon?"

"We are in Sima Village now..." Tasiya sorted out her thoughts and said, "There are eight small ethnic groups in the vicinity, but Sima Village was breached at the beginning of the year..."

Sima?Isn't that what Aman said... Xu Qingfeng was startled.

Tasiya saw through Xu Qingfeng's thoughts, she nodded, and affirmed: "It is the home of Aman, the residence of the Kagana tribe. After Kazeyado and Bumibu formed an alliance and made a plan to live in the Central Plains , They need small tribes to be shrimp soldiers and crab generals, to act as shields in front of them, some witches in Kagana are famous and have great prestige in this area, so they made a move on Kagana first."

Xu Qingfeng nodded. He had heard Aman tell him this story. "That mother-in-law is Aman's grandma."

"Really?" Tasiya asked in surprise, obviously not knowing about it, but she quickly continued the previous sentence and said: "Then you should also know that Kagana refused, and then Kagana was..."

As Tasiya spoke, she raised her head cautiously, and sure enough, Xu Qingfeng knew that it was the Demon Sect who slaughtered Xima Village.

"You are different from the Demon Cult I met..." Xu Qingfeng said after deliberation: "I was often chased and killed by the Demon Cult along the way, and the Demon Cult has indeed slaughtered many people in the Central Plains, but despite your status You belong to the Devil's Cult, but your behavior is very decent."

"Decent?" Tasiya smiled, "Of course I'm not the Devil's Cult. If we Yangren were not looking for a habitat, how could we do things for them? But at the beginning, it was Cazeyado and Bumibe who killed us all What kind of demon sect, Yang people will become what they are today, all because of them!"

Tasiya clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Now there are not many demon sects in Xiaoyao Township. The demon sects have existed for many years. How can there be so many mixed fish and dragons living in peace and stability? Xiaoyao Township is not free at all."

Tasiya sighed: "The Devil's Cult now has ten elders, they are arranged according to their strength and seniority, and these ten are all Yangren. But other than that, there are less than one hundred elders in the Devil's Cult."

Xu Qingfeng listened silently. The race that was once so powerful is now like clouds and sand in the wind, swaying and about to disperse as soon as it blows. It sounds inexplicably sad.

"Under such a situation, the development of the Devil's Cult is not under our control at all. Those people are outlaws, but under the banner of the Devil's Cult and the Central People, our reputation has long been ruined. Now it seems that the decadent The situation is irreversible.”

Tasiya cheered up, and then said: "What did you just say? Oh, Sima was slaughtered... After that, the seven surrounding tribes were naturally brought into the alliance by choice. The situation was already very complicated because of the war. , Who knew that the news about the stone of life and death suddenly became an uproar, some small tribes wanted to find that stone, and some wanted to use that stone to exchange for the safety of their clansmen..."

"With whom?"

"Caziyaduo, or Bumibu..." Tasiya was not very clear, "Anyway, they are the ones who have been in contact with your Lord Yan."

"Have you never met Yan Keqing?"

"No. His orders were sent through Cazeyado. There are still many people in the Devil's Cult rushing to contact him."

"Hmm..." Xu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "The one who kidnapped your brother is planning to trade me for the safety of other clansmen?"

"Otherwise?" Tasiya said for a long time, her mouth was parched, she reached into the door and took out the wine bag, opened the stopper and gulped down a big gulp, then let out a refreshing sigh.

"His tribe is very small, called, called, Hexi? Or Hexi? Anyway, it's pronounced this way. They are few in number, but they are very smart, otherwise Archie wouldn't have been tricked and arrested by him..."

Tasiya's face quickly turned red after drinking, and her expression was a little relaxed, "Just that man, what's his name, Hugh, oops, I don't remember. It seems that there are not many men left in their clan, and it's just as miserable. ..."

Tasiya raised her head and took another big gulp of wine, which made Xu Qingfeng ashamed.

Tasiya, who had been drinking, spoke more and more bluntly: "When will your lord come to rescue you?"

"what?"

"Don't play dumb." Tasiya hiccupped suddenly, seeing Xu Qingfeng frown, she couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you lose something on the road? Is he supposed to come tonight? I think you too You're not stupid, how smart, why don't you say you're a fool?"

"I was not so clear-headed for a while. At that time, the Demon Sect bit me very hard." Xu Qingfeng explained.

"Oh." Tasiya nodded, blushing frighteningly, "Let me just say, Archie is such a fool. Hahaha."

"Why don't you go back?" Xu Qingfeng was a little worried, "Call Lu Xiu to carry you?"

"Forget it, he is also a fool, I should have thrown him later." Tasiya closed the wine cork, returned the wine bag to Xu Qingfeng, stood up staggeringly, "Let's discuss something."

"what?"

"Turn back, your people are here and take Archie away."

Xu Qingfeng was puzzled.

Tasiya stood up straight, comparable to the sitting Xu Qingfeng, she was condescending, showing a smile: "Help me take care of Archie, you see, I have taken care of you all the way."

"Why are you going?" Xu Qingfeng saw the scene where the siblings met in the afternoon, and couldn't believe that Tasiya would easily leave her brother behind.

"Rectify the name of the central people." Tasiya rolled up her sleeves, and there was a "red crow" pattern on her arm, which was very obvious in the moonlight: "What Kazeyado! What rice department! We were the people of the desert a hundred years ago Overlord! A demonic sect has created a miasma, no matter what happens in the end of this battle, our subordinates must die bravely! Die bravely!"

Xu Qingfeng was startled. He didn't know what Tasiya was going to do, what was the next move of the Demon Cult, and what would happen to the already chaotic situation?

But before he had time to ask, Tasiya waved his hand without shaking, and walked away steadily, and even left a very cool sentence: "Let's go, if you are still here tomorrow, I will come to see you again."

Xu Qingfeng leaned against the door, watching Tasiya's thin figure gradually drifting away until she was too small to be seen.

There is no rustling wind, and no cold Yishui, but there is a tragic aura in the back, it seems that once gone, it will never return.

Xu Qingfeng hid the leftover dry food under the haystack, tried to drink a small sip of wine, and the spicy taste rushed straight to his forehead. After the aftertaste of that sip of wine melted away, his whole body really became warm, but he Not daring to drink any more, they hid together under the haystack.

Lying on his back on the haystack, Xu Qingfeng didn't sleep any more. He opened his eyes and listened to the movement around him. He estimated that someone from Chen Ke would come looking for him in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly and within expectation, the skinny man who held Archie in the afternoon came first.

He even knocked on the door very politely first, and knocked his knuckles on the wood, making a low sound. Xu Qingfeng pretended not to hear, and the man continued to knock cautiously.

It seemed that he was afraid that someone would hear him, the voice was very soft, as fragile as his people, cautious but timid.

Xu Qingfeng didn't respond all the time, the man seemed a little anxious, "coughed" a few times, Xu Qingfeng pretended to wake up slowly, and looked at him in confusion.

"Fool, come here." The man's Chinese was not good, and his accent sounded strange.Xu Qingfeng's thoughtful "stupid look" is a little more real.

"Stone." The man said, even reaching out to grab Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng hid back pretending to be scared, and slapped him while hiding.

"You! Fool!" The man seemed angry, "Stone! You have it! Give it to me!"

Xu Qingfeng hid in the depths of the room, tried his best to hold back his laughter, just listening to these few words, it doesn't mean who is more foolish.

With a sound of "咻", something hit the person outside the door. The person's eyes widened, he shook his body, and then fell to the ground.

Several black figures suddenly appeared outside the door, and Xu Qingfeng recognized one of the hidden guards, who was Zuo Ming's deputy for a long time, named Liu Hu.

Liu Hu looked at Xu Qingfeng, and hesitantly said in a gentle, coaxing tone, "Mr. Xu? Your lord asked us to pick you up."

Xu Qingfeng blinked, but did not move.

"My lord, lord——" Liu Hu said patiently, but he was very shocked in his heart. Just now when he heard Mr. Xu being called a "fool", he felt cold. After observing the interaction between the two, he was completely desperate. Waiting for the lord to see When Mr. Xu brought back by him has become a fool again, will he be beaten to death?

"My lord, don't be afraid..." Liu Hu signaled others to quickly unlock the lock, "We will rescue you right away."

After Xu Qingfeng thought about it, he knew that Liu Hu had misunderstood. He couldn't help laughing out loud, but immediately held it back. It sounded like a muffled groan to Liu Hu, and he immediately became nervous: "My lord, are you injured?"

After asking Liu Hu, he wanted to slap himself.Could it be stupid if it didn't hurt?It must be a headache!

The person next to Liu Hu studied the lock for a long time without unlocking it. Liu Hu resisted the urge to cut the back of the man's head: "Can you hurry up?"

"Brother Hu, give me some more time..."

"It's almost dawn!" Liu Hu said angrily in a low voice.

Xu Qingfeng was happy enough, adjusted his expression and walked forward, holding the wooden fence with both hands, seeing Liu Hu's bewildered expression, suddenly smiled slyly, and with one force, the door was directly removed.

--what?

Liu Hu was dumbfounded...
