Very evidently, Chen Feiyu was really implicated this time. Because, from the start to the end, he was tied up like a "metal dumpling" and abandoned in a cold corner.
After greeting Chen Feiyu, Wu Feng's mood seemed to improve slightly. With a wave of his hand, the army marched majestically into the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
Next, he personally patrolled the various important areas of the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
After a round of patrolling, Wu Feng could finally confirm that Chen Feiyu had really abandoned the Thunderous Lion Settlement and turned to launch a sneak attack on his Yan Ya and Shi Zun Settlement.
This made him extremely unhappy.
Chen Feiyu launched a sneak attack on his own initiative, using three thousand soldiers to exchange for six thousand of his soldiers. Then, he used the Thunderous Lion Settlement to exchange for his Yan Ya and Shi Zun Settlement.
Complete defeat!
Most importantly, he even stood stupidly at the entrance of the Thunderous Lion Settlement for over four hours, giving Chen Feiyu sufficient time to attack the two major settlements.
He couldn't swallow his anger no matter what.
"Bam!" A cup was directly smashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces.
At this moment, the Thunderous Lion Settlement chief, who had been silently accompanying Wu Feng ever since he entered the Thunderous Lion Settlement, spoke.
"Will general be resting in our settlement tonight?"
"Rest?" Wu Feng really hadn't considered this question. However, after hearing the settlement chief's words, he still thought about it slightly.
Over ten thousand soldiers rushed from the Yan Ya Settlement to the Thunderous Lion Settlement day and night.
Then, they continuously launched attacks day and night. From dawn till now, they had stood in the cold wind for over four hours. If they continued to rush back to Yan Ya and Shi Zun.
This would definitely cause the morale of the army to be shaken.
After all, soldiers were also humans. They needed to rest.
"Yes, we will rest in the Thunderous Lion Settlement tonight. I hope that the settlement chief can make arrangements." Thinking of this, Wu Feng nodded. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said politely to the settlement chief.
"Alright. This is what we should do. When General Chen was in the Thunderous Lion Settlement, we had always made arrangements for him. However, a few days ago, after General Chen left the settlement to face the enemy, he never returned. " After hearing Wu Feng's words, the settlement chief muttered to himself.
"He didn't come back? Settlement chief, are you saying that Chen Feiyu hasn't returned since he left the tribe? "When Wu Feng heard this, his heart was evidently moved.
"Yes," the chief confirmed.
"I see!" Wu Feng finally understood.
After knowing that Chen Feiyu hadn't returned after leaving the tribe, Wu Feng finally managed to link all the causes and effects together.
From the beginning to the end, Chen Feiyu's targets were the Yan Ya and Shi Zun Tribes.
The so-called going out of the tribe to meet the enemy. It was just a feint. It was very likely that Chen Feiyu's original plan was to split his forces into two and send two thousand people to stall for time.
Then, he would send out a large number of troops to sneak attack the Yan Ya and Shi Zun tribes.
However, coincidentally, they met his army of six thousand people. Then, he caught up to them. In their panic, they left behind another two thousand soldiers to lead him towards the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
His goal was to buy enough time.
As expected …
It was a turtle that knew how to run away!
Wu Feng was extremely confident in his own abilities. This kind of confidence made him feel that when others saw him, they would either surrender or run away.
After all … Ever since he entered the Southern Mountain Range, he had never met with any resistance.
"Looks like I overestimated this Chen Feiyu. He's just a guy that wants to stall for time until the end of the combat examination. I actually thought that he would play some tricks on me?" Wu Feng blamed himself.
Sometimes, if one was too careful, they wouldn't be able to see through some simple things.
After understanding this, Wu Feng completely relaxed. He recognized that Chen Feiyu wasn't enough to pose a threat to him. Hence, getting rid of Chen Feiyu was only a matter of time.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you to make arrangements!" Wu Feng's mood improved and his face regained a confident smile. He indeed looked incomparably relaxed.
The settlement chief nodded. Very quickly, a few citizens of the Southern Mountain Range came out. Each of them led the commanders behind Wu Feng to settle down.
As for Wu Feng, he was personally arranged by the settlement chief.
"This is the first time general has come to my Thunderous Lion Settlement. As the settlement chief, I should be a good host. I would like to invite general to my place for a few drinks. What do you think? "
"You're too courteous. Then, I'll listen to your arrangements. Here are some taels of silver, please accept them. If it's convenient tonight, I would like to slaughter some meat to reward the soldiers. "Wu Feng nodded his head, then casually took out a few large silver ingots from his robes and handed them to the settlement chief.
"This … Since I'm a good host, I don't need these silver ingots?" The settlement chief seemed a little hesitant.
"Please accept it. The Great Xia Dynasty has military rules. It's already inappropriate to trouble the settlement chief. If you don't even accept the silver ingots, then …"
"Since general insists, I'll thank you on behalf of the citizens of the Southern Mountain Range."
"The Great Xia and the Southern Mountain Range are one family. There's no need for settlement chief to say this."
…
After a round of pleasantries, Wu Feng was led by the settlement chief into a huge stone house. Inside, there were all sorts of beast skulls and fur. It looked extremely wild.
Wu Feng looked at the decorations in the stone house and nodded lightly.
In the Southern Mountain Range, only the settlement chief's room would have such items. These beast skulls and fur were hunted by the warriors of the Southern Mountain Range after they grew up.
They could be placed in the settlement chief's room.
Actually, they also represented the glory of the warriors of the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
At this moment, there were a few elderly people sitting in the settlement chief's stone house. Every one of them had extremely dark skin and wore hats on their heads. However, compared to the settlement chief, they didn't have feathers on their hats.
Wu Feng knew that these people were elders with status in the tribe. Since they were going to station troops in the Thunderous Lion Settlement, it was necessary to build good relations with these people.
"I greet everyone on behalf of the Great Xia." Once Wu Feng entered the stone house, he bowed to the elders in the stone house according to the etiquette of the younger generation of the Great Xia.
"General is too courteous. We have already prepared a welcome ceremony for you. Please follow us in." When the elders saw Wu Feng bow, they all stood up and said.
"Welcome ceremony? Sorry for the trouble. "Wu Feng nodded once again.
There was indeed a welcome ceremony in the Southern Mountain Range. Normally, the welcome ceremony of the Southern Mountain Range was prepared for the warriors of the Southern Mountain Range who had returned from battle. It was a great form of respect and glory.
The ceremony wasn't too complicated.
It was mainly about bathing and changing clothes.
However, this kind of glory was still extremely high. Wu Feng really didn't expect to receive such treatment the moment he arrived at the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
He was somewhat confused, but, he couldn't reject.
Because, rejecting the welcome ceremony. This also meant rejecting the friendliness of the people of the Southern Mountain Range. This was an extremely disrespectful action.
Seeing that Wu Feng had agreed, two young ladies from the Southern Mountain Range walked out gracefully from the inner room of the stone house, wearing rattan skirts and revealing their slender waists.
When they saw Wu Feng, the faces of the two Southern Mountain Range ladies blushed slightly. They lowered their heads.
"General, we sisters will serve you during the welcome ceremony. I wonder if general is willing?" A Southern Mountain Range lady walked in front of Wu Feng and raised her head slightly, her face full of shyness.
"Thank you." Wu Feng had stayed in the Southern Mountain Range for quite a long time.
He naturally knew the boldness of the Southern Mountain Range ladies. This kind of welcome ceremony wasn't too unusual. Of course, nothing would usually happen during the process of the welcome ceremony.
Because …
This was a sacred ceremony.
…
While the settlement chief and a few elders were preparing wine and food in the outer room, Wu Feng was led into the inner room by the two Southern Mountain Range ladies.
A huge wooden bucket had already been prepared in the inner room. The water in the bucket was steaming. The bucket was filled with a type of green water grass, a specialty of the Southern Mountain Range.
Wu Feng had tried this water grass before. After rubbing this water grass on his body, it made him feel refreshed. It was a rather enjoyable experience.
Instantly, he didn't stand on ceremony.
He allowed the two Southern Mountain Range ladies to slowly take off the armour on his body. Then, they took off the luxurious clothes inside, leaving only a pair of white underpants.
At this moment, Wu Feng was only left with a pair of underpants and the jade flute in his hand.
The two Southern Mountain Range ladies looked at each other bashfully. One of them prepared to help Wu Feng take off his pants. On the other hand, the other person raised her hands above her head, waiting for Wu Feng to pass the jade flute into her hands.
When Wu Feng saw this, he was somewhat hesitant.
"Can I hold my jade flute myself?" Wu Feng opened his mouth and asked.
"This … we have already prepared a weapon rack for the general. The purpose of the ceremony is to wash away the dust of the body and soul. According to the customs of our Southern Mountain Range, when warriors go out to battle, they must sprinkle the blood of ferocious beasts on their bodies. When they return, they must wash off the blood. This weapon … is a blood-stained object, naturally it's better to leave it at one side. " After hearing Wu Feng's words, one of the Southern Mountain Range ladies explained softly.
"If that's the case, then we will follow the customs of the Southern Mountain Range. However, can the weapon rack be placed closer?" When Wu Feng heard this, he nodded his head once again.
"Sure, I will bring the weapon rack in." The Southern Mountain Range lady nodded her head. Then, she turned around and left. Not long after, she returned with a weapon rack in her hands.
When Wu Feng saw the weapon rack in front of him, he relaxed. He passed the jade flute in his hands to the lady. Then, he leapt into the wooden bucket.
Water splashed everywhere.
Drenching the hair of the Southern Mountain Range ladies.
However, this did not arouse any disgust from the two Southern Mountain Range ladies. Instead, it caused their faces to be filled with embarrassment.
After looking at each other, the two Southern Mountain Range ladies gracefully walked to the side of the wooden bucket. Their four soft and boneless arms scooped up water plants from the bucket and began to scrub Wu Feng's body.
As Wu Feng felt the warmth of the water and the refreshing feeling on his body, he smiled and allowed the two Southern Mountain Range ladies to serve him.
Perhaps it was because it was too comfortable, or perhaps it was because he finally had a moment to relax. After looking at the weapon rack at the door, Wu Feng finally slowly closed his eyes.
There were two steps to the ceremony.
The first was to wash. The second was to change.
After washing for a full fifteen minutes, one of the Southern Mountain Range ladies finally stopped.
"General, I will go get my clothes."
"Yes …" Wu Feng nodded his head lightly and continued to soak his body in the warm water, enjoying the scrub from the other Southern Mountain Range lady.
Time passed quickly.
Half an incense's time passed …
An incense's time passed …
However, the Southern Mountain Range lady who had gone out to get the clothes did not return.
This caused Wu Feng to feel somewhat suspicious. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Southern Mountain Range lady standing silently at the door.
In her hands was a set of clothes unique to the Southern Mountain Range.
It seemed that she had arrived early.
She did not disturb him, and waited for him just like that.
Wu Feng shook his head lightly and nodded at the Southern Mountain Range lady at the door. The nervousness in his heart immediately disappeared.
He was still too cautious.
Just as he was about to say that he was done washing and could change, he felt that something was amiss. Because, behind the Southern Mountain Range lady, there seemed to be a figure sitting.
Because the Southern Mountain Range lady's body blocked his view, he could not see too clearly.
However …
The strange thing was that the figure seemed to be leisurely sitting on a chair and eating fruits. Furthermore, he would pour himself a cup of wine from time to time.
This caused Wu Feng to feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, he was currently naked.
Being serviced by two Southern Mountain Range girls while naked was something that all men loved. But now, he was being admired by another man who was eating fruits and enjoying the view.
This feeling had changed a little.
"Who is it?!" Wu Feng instinctively shouted in his heart.
"Looks like Young Master Wu is almost done washing?" When the figure heard Wu Feng's words, he slowly put down the wine cup in his hand and stood up from the chair.
Wu Feng's heart skipped a beat.
He felt that this voice sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. However, at that moment, he could not recall where.
The Southern Mountain Range …
Was there anyone else that he knew in the Thunderous Lion Settlement?
Wu Feng tried his best to recall, but ultimately realized that there wasn't anyone else.
At this moment, the Southern Mountain Range lady who was serving him slowly stopped. Then, she lightly walked towards the door.
As for the Southern Mountain Range lady at the door, she immediately turned and left.
"She left?!" Wu Feng was slightly shocked. After all, that Southern Mountain Range lady was holding clothes in her hands. Were those clothes not for him to wear?
Just as he thought about this, Wu Feng's eyes suddenly widened. The expression on his face completely froze.
Because, after the two Southern Mountain Range ladies left, he finally recognized the figure at the door.
It was a youth wearing a leopard print leather jacket. He did not look very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old. There was even a faint smile on his face.
