"It's almost healed. Actually, it's just some superficial wounds. It's nothing serious."
Hong Yu turned around and left the room with the medicine. Xiong Lin responded to Shangguan Hui with an honest smile.
But this time, Shangguan Hui didn't take the opportunity to tease him. Instead, she nodded with a serious expression.
"That's good. We can only succeed in the big event in a few days. We can't fail. But you can't show up these days, so there are many things that are inconvenient for you to do. "
When it came to business, Xiong Lin seemed to be a different person.
He was the most valiant warrior in the Spirit Bear tribe. Fighting for his tribe and friends had already made his blood boil.
Moreover, he knew better than anyone else that if he allowed the four elders' greed to wreak havoc, the entire Spirit Bear Tribe would be destroyed by their hands sooner or later.
"Brother Xiong Lin, there's one thing I don't understand. I hope you can give me an answer."
Shangguan Hui looked at Xiong Lin seriously and said.
Xiong Lin nodded with a serious look on his face.
"I know that the Spirit Bear is in collusion with the Xin Family. But according to my observation, the Xin Family doesn't seem to provide much help to the tribe. Why are the four elders so loyal to the Xin Family? And … with all due respect, there's nothing in the Spirit Bear tribe that the Xin Family covets. I still don't quite understand this. "
Shangguan Hui was a very smart woman. She was very observant and could see many things clearly in a short time.
Xiong Lin heard this and sighed heavily.
"I don't know when it started. But when my father was still alive, he told me that the Spirit Bear is just a bait kept by the Xin Family. Every five years, the Spirit Bear has to offer twenty boys and girls to the Xin Family. But now, because of the arrival of Uncle Lin and the others, the Xin family said that if the Spirit Bear could find a way to keep their flesh and blood, they would be exempted from the need to pay tribute in the future. But what's the difference? It's the people of the Spirit Bear tribe who will suffer! "
Shangguan Hui was stunned. She really didn't expect that there was such an inside story.
Now, she also understood why the four elders were so anxious.
After all, it seemed to be a method that was beneficial to him now that his fellow Daoist would die.
However, in this way, they would still become the Xin family's puppets, and the ones who would be sacrificed would be the Spirit Bear's people.
After a while, she said in a low voice.
"Big Brother Xiong Lin's thoughts are really different from them. Now I understand why you insisted on helping Nan Sheng and his son."
Xiong Lin was just like Nan Sheng, both of them were men with great ambitions.
Even if it was because of his relationship with Hongyu, more importantly, Xiong Lin had seen through the sinister intentions of the Xin family.
"To help others is to help oneself. Miss Shangguan, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Uncle Lin and Brother Lin will definitely be fine. It was time for those old fellows to recognize the truth. The Xin family, humph, who knows what kind of shady business they are doing in private. It's just that I, Spirit Bear, can no longer be manipulated by them! "
Xiong Lin's eyes were resolute. It was obvious that he was prepared.
Shangguan Hui seemed to feel that she should say something, but in the end, she found that it was unnecessary to say anything now.
It was not that Xiong Lin didn't love his tribe, but his love was more sincere. He would rather be reborn with pain than continue to struggle at death's door.
At this time, Hongyu turned back.
The two of them had only exchanged a glance, but even an outsider like her could read some of the hidden meaning in their eyes.
She understood him. Thousands of words, but only a look was enough.
She couldn't help but feel envious.
She turned around and went back to her room with a smile.
She picked up a pen and wrote down the news she got today in the letter she had hidden.
She thought about it carefully and felt that she should tell Mengya about it.
The Xin family was so strange that they even wanted Xiong Lin to worship young boys and girls. This matter was full of a strange smell.
What was more, now they actually wanted to exchange the bloodline of the Lin family.
Even as an outsider, she felt that it was incredible.
Now, the whole Spirit Bear tribe was loose on the outside but tense on the inside.
At the same time, the army sent by the king also quietly lurked in the mountain.
Shangguan Hui thought that she couldn't help much when the two armies were fighting, so she just acted as an idler.
After handing the letter to Uncle Lin, Shangguan Hui could only wait quietly like Hongyu.
Because the situation gradually became tense, the news spread faster and faster.
The king was naturally afraid that some important news would affect the war, so in a few days, Hongyu's letter was sent to Lin Mengya first.
After reading the letter, Lin Mengya's guess was finally confirmed.
Sure enough, the Xin family wanted the bloodline of the Spirit Bear and the Lin family.
Since the Xin family took so much trouble, it must have something to do with Changsheng.
She suddenly felt a little worried. If the king took down the Spirit Bear by force, according to the cruel style of the Xin family, would they want to get rid of the trouble forever?
She immediately wrote a letter to remind the king. However, before the letter was sent to the frontline general who was responsible for encircling the Spirit Bear tribe, the conflict broke out one night.
"You two, quickly change your clothes and hide among the old, weak, women and children in the village!"
Xiong Lin had secretly arranged for the innocent people in the village to hide in the mountain.
Hongyu and Shangguan Hui nodded and immediately went back to their room to change into inconspicuous clothes.
After taking a look at their sweethearts, they were escorted out by Xiong Lin's men under the cover of the night.
The father and son of the Lin family were wearing fitted soft armors. Their usual helpless and humiliated expressions were all swept away.
They held long swords in their hands and looked heroic. Even the night couldn't stop their awe-inspiring spirit.
Their patience in the past few months had come to an end.
Outside the village, His Majesty's men had gradually surrounded everything here.
Xiong Lin, who was also dressed in a suit, nodded slightly to them. Their eyes were all burning with fire.
Tonight, it was time.
"Your Excellency, please have a taste. This wine is the treasure of our Spirit Bear. Only the most distinguished guests can enjoy it. Of course, it can't be compared with the good wine of the Xin family. "
In the Elders' Building, which symbolized the status, the four Elders, who were majestic in front of the clansmen, now laughed like prostitutes.
He had shamelessly lowered himself and had even thrown away his dignity. All he wanted was to obtain some benefits from the hands of these people.
Or, it was charity.
"This wine is a good wine, but you old things are such a killjoy. Before I came here, I heard from the clansmen that the women of the Spirit Bear tribe, although born in a vulgar place, have a special taste. Since we are here today, we also want to see it. What do you think, First Elder? "
The one who spoke was a young man with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. He looked mean and ungrateful.
His eyes flashed with malicious light. He stared at the Elders in front of him with a very arrogant attitude.
First Elder's eyes flashed, and then his face became a little stiff.
However, the eyes of the other three Elders were like wolves. There was only ecstasy about to get benefits, and they had no scruples at all.
First Elder's last trace of doubt was dispelled. Wasn't it just women? He had already prepared it. It was just that he was afraid that people would gossip, so he didn't offer it up.
Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to care, First Elder smiled. His eyes were full of the tacit understanding between men.
"What's so difficult about it? To be able to serve you is a blessing that they have cultivated in their past lives. You just have to enjoy the wine first. I will take care of the rest. "
The men of the Xin family all had a disdainful smile on their faces.
However, they really enjoyed the feeling of being praised to the heavens.
They didn't have a high position in the Xin family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent to this mountain cave to carry out a mission.
However, the girls here were also very famous in the Xin family.
Who didn't know that most of the boys and girls that the Spirit Bear served had become the exclusive property of the powerful people in the Xin family.
However, it was a pity that they usually couldn't even see them. Now that they could have fun, they couldn't help but be immersed in the fire. Being seduced by wine and women, the thoughts that they usually forcibly suppressed also surged up in their hearts.
Hum, tonight, they would let these girls of the Spirit Bear see the power of the Xin family!
For a moment, the guests and the host were enjoying themselves on the second floor. However, in the eyes of others, it was extremely disgusting.
"You, go and make a good arrangement. Today, we must let the elders of the Xin family enjoy themselves to the fullest. If you do well, there will be benefits for you. "
First Elder's men got the hint from the people inside and immediately came out to give orders.
The people below also knew what they meant, and immediately whispered some dirty jokes to make fun.
No one noticed that a figure had quietly slipped away from the corner of the wall …
After sending Hongyu and Shangguan Hui away, the remaining three men were sitting together to discuss business.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone knocking on the door outside.
The three of them immediately became alert. After looking at each other, Lin Nansheng hid the long sword behind him and calmly went to open the door.
"Who!"
Lin Nansheng asked in a low voice, but the person outside just kept knocking on the door and didn't respond at all.
Frowning, Lin Nansheng looked at the trembling courtyard door, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.
Suddenly, he opened the door, and when the person was not prepared, the sharp long sword was aimed at the person's neck.
Only an inch was needed to kill the person.
"Childe Lin, please, please save my sister!"
Unexpectedly, he saw a very young face. Lin Nansheng was stunned. He found this person familiar, and then he remembered that Xiong Lin had sent him to deliver a letter to him several times.
