The Emperor is Above

Chapter 46 You are too slanderous to pigs

The beastmaster was ecstatic at this moment.

The surrounding barbarians and thieves asked in confusion, "Old Man Kuxue, why are you laughing so loudly?"

The thin old man couldn't help laughing and said, "During the beginning of winter last year, I encountered two fifth-grade exotic beasts fighting in Jiming Lake. One was a fifth-grade upper-level black panther, and the other was a fifth-grade lower-level white fox.

At first, I saw that the white fox was only of the lower fifth rank and was pregnant and could give birth at any time, so I thought it would be killed by the black panther soon.

Unexpectedly, after a fierce battle for most of the day, the white fox, despite being seriously injured, managed to kill the black panther. At that time, he used his magic power of illusion many times to avoid the black panther's fatal move."

The strongest bald man touched his head and said in sudden realization, "Could it be that the little fox with shining eyes in front of me has the same magical power as the white fox that the old man with dried blood saw?"

"Hehe, this little white fox might be the descendant of that white fox." The deep-set eyes of the Blood-Rich Old Man were filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

“When I saw the white fox was seriously injured and left, I thought it was a great opportunity, so I sent four wolves to track it down, waiting for it to give birth and then take away its cubs.

Unfortunately, before I could arrive, the four wolves suddenly died tragically, and were eventually presented to Lord Xing by the boy as a gift. This little fox looked to be only about two months old, and it seemed that the white fox cub also fell into his hands at that time."

Although the barbarian thieves were all rough men, they also lived in the barbarian society with strict hierarchy, and they all flattered him without disguising:
"This kid has gone to great lengths to make things easier for the old man with dried blood!"

"Today, the little boy was killed, and the little fox returned to the hands of the Dry Blood Old Man. This is also a cause for celebration."

The smarter ones could understand the consequences of the beastmaster getting the little fox, and they also complimented him: "Congratulations, Old Man Kuxue. In a few years, you will definitely be an elder of the tribe."

"If we can have a fifth-grade white fox as a tamed beast, Kuxue Weng can at least rank in the top three in the tribe, and may even be selected by the high priest to join the Black Wind Tribe Priest Group."

The thin old man became more and more excited with the constant compliments from these wild people. He raised his head and laughed as he walked towards the small hill where the people in Huaiqiu were stationed.

With the light of the campfire, Qing Yi finally saw the appearance of the thin old man. He was at most seven feet tall, which is only about 1.6 meters in later generations.

His body and face were frighteningly thin, his eyes were sunken, and the skin on his cheeks was as dry as tree bark, making him look like a walking zombie.

Under the large blood-red cloak, the eyes were frighteningly bright, as if they could jump out of their sockets at any time.

"The little boy in the locust hill, don't fight like a trapped beast. Even if you defend yourself tonight, you will not be able to escape from the encirclement of my children.

I should feed you all alive to the wolves to avenge the four wolves, but if you can obediently hand over the little fox, I promise to give you a quick death. "

Although the skinny old man was short and had a strange appearance, his aura of suppressing everything made everyone almost breathless.

"Give me a quick death? I'm afraid you don't deserve it!"

Qing Yi's voice was firm and courageous. He shot the nearest wild wolf to death without hesitation, and then sneered, "This is the capital of Xing State, only ninety miles away from the capital.

Next to this Wild Ox Pavilion is the main road from Yanjin City on the north bank of the Great River to the capital. Every day, there is a constant flow of merchants and carriages from the Xing State. As long as I hold on for another three hours, it will be dawn. By then, not only will there be nobility and caravans coming and going, but the capital city guards will also come to wipe you out as soon as possible. "

These words were not only spoken to the skinny old man, but also to Huaiqiuli, Tun Shigu and everyone else. After these words were spoken, everyone in the camp mustered up the courage to fight.

"Yes, if we hold on for two or three hours, various teams will continue to pass by, and then you will be the one to die!" Tun Shigu had climbed onto the side carriage at some point and started shouting loudly.

"Hahaha, you are really a frog in a well and a bird in a cage." The skinny old man was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed even louder.
"You young boys are so young and ignorant. I'm afraid you have never seen with your own eyes how powerful an eighth-grade wild wolf is.
Don't think that killing a wolf is better than a primary totem warrior. My big wolf leads a pack of wild wolves to charge, and these rural farmers are just chickens and dogs. They are not even a match for me."

"In that case, just let that eighth-grade wild wolf attack us!" Qing Yi was still full of energy, drawing his bow and arrow and laughing.
"We will be stationed on the hill, and the caravan will be stationed next to the long pavilion. Our camps are only fifty feet apart, supporting each other. I wonder if you are willing to let all your wolves die in battle."

Although he had had an unpleasant conflict with the short and fat businessman before, Qing Yi felt that it would be better for both sides to temporarily join forces in the face of the powerful threat posed by the Blood Wolf Tribe.

In this way, when the two sides unite, their strength will be no less than that of the Blood Wolf Tribe, and even if they fight head-on, they will not suffer too much loss.

Even the skinny old man thought of this, so he only used various verbal threats and inducements, but did not formally launch an attack.

"This old man with dried blood, I salute you!"

No one expected that the short and fat Shangqiu manager would speak at this time. He stood at the edge of the caravan camp, nodding and bowing with a flattering face.
"Since you are only seeking revenge on this young boy, and it has nothing to do with the rest of us, can you please withdraw these dozen wild wolves?
We are a caravan heading to the capital, and have no intention of hindering the Blood-Drying Old Man's revenge. I was just insulted by this young boy.

Killing him is a way for me to vent my anger. As long as you let us leave safely, we will pretend that we have never seen what happened here. My family head Chunyu Yaqing will also be relieved. "

"What a fool! He is courting his own death, yet he still thinks he is smart."

Qing Yi shook his head helplessly. He never expected that this short and fat businessman was so stupid and shameless that he did not understand the current situation at all.

The drivers and servants in the caravan had long been trembling with fear at the threat of death, and since they had no status of their own, no one dared to object.

"Shangqiu Rui, you are as stupid as a pig!"

At this time, it was the young Gongsun Wu who stood up. His fair and handsome face was now filled with blood red anger. He pointed at the short and fat merchant with a sword in one hand and shouted,
"The barbarians have always been shameless. It is right for us to fight together. How can you make peace with them privately? How dare you believe their lies?"

"Brother Gongsun, you are really slandering pigs!"

Qing Yi saw the whole process clearly and heard Gongsun Wu scolding the short and fat merchant. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Even if a group of pigs encounter a tiger or a hungry wolf, they will know how to stick together to protect themselves. Pigs are much smarter than this guy."

"Hahaha--"

Chai Yong, Daniu, Xizi and others couldn't help laughing, and the uneasiness in their hearts was swept away.

"You bastard boy, you are about to die, yet you still dare to humiliate me!" The short and fat merchant was first scolded by Gongsun Wu, and then bullied by Qing Yi. He became more and more angry and his face turned red.
