Ye Li slightly frowned, her heart was still a little anxious. If these snakes ran away, they would be able to relieve their anxiety for a while, but if so many poisonous snakes really escaped, then it would be troublesome for the passersby. Looking at the panicked youth, Ye Li's clear eyes darkened, and she said to An San, "Kill him!"
An San never asked for a reason when Ye Li seriously gave an order. Before Ye Li's voice fell, the long sword in An San's hand flashed, and her entire person had already soared into the air, shooting towards that young man like an arrow. That young man had already lost his head out of fear, and when he saw An San's long sword coming towards him, he was dumbstruck, even forgetting to dodge. He could only stare blankly at the tip of the arrow coming towards him — —
"Have mercy!" A loud voice hastily sounded from the side of the forest.
"Have mercy!"
"Zhuo Jing!" Ye Li shouted in a deep voice. An San's eyes darkened, and she quickly put away her long sword, flipped in the air, and gently landed on a treetop not far away. In this way, there were three people on this side who were high up in the treetop, ready to attack at any time. And if the other side couldn't control the snakes in time, then they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
A tall middle-aged man dressed in Southern Border attire walked out of the forest. His clothes had the same totem as the young man and the aura of a superior that he inadvertently revealed made everyone understand that this person must be a person of high status in the Luo Yi tribe. The middle-aged man quickly walked over, and the snakes that passed by all opened up a path, clearly very afraid of the aura of this person, "Friends from Da Chu State, my son has been naughty and has offended you, please have mercy. My tribe will definitely entertain you as a distinguished guest. "
Ye Li sneered in her heart, naughty and mischievous? This man had been in the forest from the beginning, and only appeared when his son was in danger. Now he wanted to brush it off with a mere word of naughty and mischievous.
Han Mingxi stood on the treetop, his slender figure moving up and down with the treetop, "Indeed naughty and mischievous. Luo Yi Tribe's Patriarch, how dare you let your noble young master run amok outside? " The middle-aged man's expression wasn't good either. He walked up to the young man and casually glanced at him. The young man immediately shriveled like a leaf being roasted by fire. He shrank back and didn't dare to raise his head to look at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man snorted lightly and stepped forward to greet Ye Li and the rest, "I'm the Luo Yi Tribe's Patriarch, Le Jiang. This is my son, Le Nan. If we have offended you, please forgive us. " This patriarch was obviously not only better looking than his son, the way he spoke and acted made it impossible to tell that the two of them were father and son.
Ye Li said: "Although the way you treat your guests is a little scary, but I think Patriarch Luo Yi should get someone to clean up these little things first?" They were standing in a circle surrounded by the snake repellent and the bonfire. These snakes that had lost control had all avoided this area and crawled to other places. After a long time, even if people went to look for them, they might not be able to find all of them. Patriarch Luo Yi nodded and waved her hand at the surrounding Snake Tamers. The Snake Tamers began to play their flutes again and a few of them went to other places, obviously to look for those snakes that were running amok. After giving these instructions, Patriarch Luo Yi then turned to Ye Li and the rest and said with a smile, "You all passed by my tribe's residence and were disturbed by Le Nan's rudeness. Why don't you all come to our stronghold to rest first and treat it as my apology to you all. "
Ye Li muttered to herself for a moment before looking sideways at the three people on the treetop. Han Mingxi had an indifferent expression and Ansan naturally wouldn't have a different opinion from Ye Li. Instead, it was Sickly Scholar who frowned and said, "We are in a hurry and won't trouble Patriarch Le Jiang."
Patriarch Luo Yi raised her eyebrows and shook her head, "No matter how you say it is troublesome. Scaring the guests of the Central Plains will really damage our Luo Yi Tribe's reputation for hospitality. I would like to invite these guests to rest in the stronghold. Tomorrow, I will send someone to personally send you all to the capital. "Hearing her words, the few Central Plains people present couldn't help but curl their lips in their hearts. The people of the Southern Plains were famous for being xenophobic, so other than a few bold merchants and people who had the ability to protect themselves, normal people of the Central Plains would definitely not enter the Southern Plains. However, compared to the other tribes in the hinterland of the Southern Plains, the Luo Yi Tribe that bordered the Da Chu State could be considered warm and hospitable. If they could have a Southern Plains native to lead the way, then their journey would be much easier.
"This ….. Then we will have to trouble Patriarch." Seeing Sickly Scholar agree, Ye Li only raised her eyebrows and didn't refute.
Patriarch Luo Yi was clearly very happy, enthusiastically calling the accompanying host to help the guests pack their luggage. Ye Li and the other two originally didn't have much, so they stooped down to pick up a bag placed beside a rock and threw it to An San who was still on the tree, while they kept the other one for themselves. Sickly Scholar was also very relaxed, but that Master Liang was busy for quite a while with the help of the housekeeper and guards. However, he carefully guarded his luggage and didn't let the people of the Southern Plains touch it, which made Ye Li a little curious about what was in that seemingly huge bag. Looking at the weight, it didn't seem to be real gold or silver.
The place where they set up camp in the Luo Yi Tribe's stronghold wasn't far. Riding on a horse, they arrived at their destination in less than a quarter of an hour. Of course, their original horses were already scared away when the snakes came, and the ones that didn't run away were already in bad shape. They used the horses provided by the Luo Yi Tribe, which was the reason why Ye Li didn't oppose going to the stronghold. Apart from this stronghold, the next place with people and where they could buy horses was at least two hundred li away, if they didn't go, it meant that they would have to walk for the rest of the journey.
The Luo Yi Tribe's stronghold was built halfway up the mountain, and the path wasn't as mysterious and rugged as the Southern Plains' strongholds. Small wooden buildings were scattered on the mountainside. Because it was already late at night, the clan leader brought them to a small building that was used to entertain guests. He ordered the servants to bring them some food and hot water, then took the young clan leader Lenan, who had been so timid that he didn't even dare to speak, and left.
The young girls wearing foreign tribe's clothing were invited out, Han Mingxi washed his face with water in satisfaction and praised, "It's still good to have a house to live in, if I knew earlier, we would have just stayed in the Luo Yi Tribe for a while." Ye Li sat at the side, curiously fiddling with the food on the table as she smiled and said, "Do you think that if we just went straight to your house, you would find snakes all over your bed in the middle of the night?"
Han Mingxi imagined that scene, and couldn't help but tremble. He shook his head and smiled at Ye Li, "Speaking of which, Jun Wei, you have to be careful. You have to know that the women of the Southern Plains are the most affectionate, and they like fair and clean young masters like Jun Wei the most. Be careful … Haha … "He covered his face with a folding fan, and laughed wickedly. Ye Li didn't want to be outdone, and returned the look, "Brother Han, don't worry, if I have such good luck with women, I won't forget to share it with you. Besides … there isn't a single person in this stronghold who cares about my face. " At the mention of Lenan, Han Mingxi's wickedly smiling face immediately darkened, and he snorted, a cold light flashing across his eyes. Young Master Feng Yue was very vengeful!
An San stood by the tightly shut window, and when the two stopped, she turned around and whispered, "There's someone outside."
