They have disheveled hair, are covered with thick black beards, have no hair on their upper bodies, are covered with knee-length animal skins on their lower bodies, have grass shoes on their feet, and have a hemp rope quiver hanging diagonally from their shoulders to their waists. They are very tall and strong.

The group of archers in front were rubbing their heels and gradually gathering towards the river embankment. Behind them, in the woods behind them, a group of more than a dozen people in slightly better clothes were holding horse reins and staring at the three people in the river from a distance.

After Si Si was poured into the stamina potion, he gradually recovered some strength. However, when he saw that he was surrounded by a group of vicious barbarians just after escaping from the water, he couldn't help but take a breath.

They had been washed into the shallows. The water was not very deep. They stood upright and reached the top of their thighs. Si's upper body was pressed against Chen Baiqi, with an unprepared panic in her eyes.

Chen Baiqi calmly glanced over and saw that the system marked this group of people as "Guzhu Shanrong", and he already knew the identity of this group of people.

Currently, the Shan Rong, Lin Hu, and Ba Ta tribes are at war. This boundary is occupied by the "Guzhu Shan Rong". They must have strayed into their jurisdiction.

"Hey!" an archer shouted at Chen Baiqi and the other three.

System translation: "Who are you?!"

Chen Baiqi observed that the bows and arrows they used were the simplest wooden bows, and the arrows were also made of wood, but the wooden strips were sharpened and covered with copper arrowheads. The workmanship was more primitive and simple than the weapons of Chu, but this kind of arrows

Although the arrow's range is short, its power cannot be underestimated.

"What are they talking about?" Sisi swallowed and asked Chen Baiqi calmly.

Chen Baiqi glanced at him. In fact, she was more like Sisi's "difference in appearance and appearance". Even if he was afraid of collapse in his heart, he could at least show a kind of calmness and responsibility on the surface. Such a person is both

It won't hold you back or make you feel bored.

When the archer saw that they didn't answer, he continued to shout: "Knock the drum, knock the horse!"

System translation: "Go ashore immediately, otherwise we will shoot arrows!"

Chen Bai raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that he was misunderstood as an enemy."

Si Si darkened his eyes and said, "They... are Rong people?"

Because the Rong tribe has many branches, they include Dayong, Xiaorong, Luyangzhirong, Jiuzhouzhirong, Lirong, Quanrong, Yangjue, Quangao, Yiluozhirong, Jiangrong, Maorong, and Beirong (also known as

Shanrong) has no final name, and Shanrong is also a branch of the Rong tribe, that is, the Rong tribe who moved from the west to live in the north.

Therefore, the Shanrong people are also collectively called the Rong people.

"Yeah." Chen Baiqi responded casually. She moved her trousers from the water. It was very uncomfortable to soak in the cold water for a long time. She stared at the shore and said: "You said I would hand over the foreigner on my back to them, they would

Won’t you let us go?”

Sisi grabbed her and shook his head: "The identity of this person is still unclear, how can we take risks at will?"

Chen Baiqi looked back at him: "But if we don't go ashore, we may turn into two sieves in the next second."

Sisi's expression suddenly froze.

"...Then let's go."

Sure enough, he who knows the current affairs is a hero.

They dragged themselves ashore all wet, and the archers on the embankment immediately stepped back a few feet, pointing their arrows at the three of them, er, maybe two of them, staring at them eagerly, as if they would shoot immediately if they acted rashly.

Kill on the spot.

"You...can you speak Shanrong dialect?" Sisi stared at the group of barbaric foreigners dressed in strange clothes and frowned secretly.

After being frightened by this incident, Si Si's originally suppressed nature came out a little bit. He had obviously pretended to be a humble person just to anger Ji Jiang, but now he forgot to pretend, and instead acted like a

The arrogance and calmness of a country's young master gradually emerged.

He had forgotten the honorific title given to Chen Baiqi, and had forgotten that she was his buyer. He only regarded her as a companion and a friend in need.

"No." Chen Baiqi said.

Si Si's eyes suddenly widened: "Didn't you understand just now?"

"If you can listen...if you don't express yourself, you can speak." Chen Baiqi said.

Besides, she didn't understand it. All the meanings she understood were system translations. Without Juzai, she really couldn't communicate normally with the Shanrong people.

"Then what should we do? You...can you beat them?" Sisi's words were filled with a kind of desperate determination.

Chen Baiqi laughed at his suggestion: "Do you know that this mountain forest is their territory? Even if I have the ability to knock down the group of mountain soldiers in front of me, if they call again, another group of mountain soldiers will rush out of the forest.

Batch, this will consume us to death."

When Sisi said this, she suddenly became depressed: "What should we do?"

"Let's talk to them." Chen Baiqi said easily.

Si Si faced her and gritted her teeth: "Didn't you say you couldn't speak their words?"

Chen Baiqi raised his eyebrows: "I don't know how, but isn't there even one person among them who understands Chu dialect?"

Sisi choked, and after a while he muttered worriedly: "What if there really isn't anything..."

"First help me untie the person on my body." Chen Baiqi turned sideways.

Si Si pursed her lips and looked around nervously while untying the cloth rope for her. However, it was difficult to untie it because it was too tight and soaked in water. Si Si tried her best to untie it, so

Chen Baiqi took out the sleeve arrow from his waist and handed it to him, asking him to cut it open.

After putting the person on him down, Chen Baiqi was able to move his stiff and sore limbs.

The archers may have noticed that they behaved very strangely. They were neither afraid of running away nor saying anything to explain. They were also unable to identify their identities for a while, so they sent people to invite people in the woods behind to come for questioning.

After a while, a middle-aged Rong man wearing a brown Hu robe and a full beard came over. He asked them in a strange and unauthentic Chu Mandarin: "Who are you?"

When Sisi heard that these barbaric people were able to communicate, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Chen Baiqi had guessed what he was thinking.

Chen Baiqi came forward. She threw her wet hair behind her back and said with her hands: "We are foreign businessmen. We were imprisoned for unintentionally becoming the young master of the Mu family. Today, we broke into a capable man in the prison."

Disturbing the order of the prison, we took the opportunity to escape. However, when we were desperate to escape from the prison, we accidentally fell into a ditch and were swept all the way here."

Chen Baiqi's explanation was more detailed, well-founded and well-founded. Although this middle-aged Rong tribesman might not be able to understand everything, at least he heard the news he wanted to know.

These three people were not Chu spies, but fugitives who escaped from the Chu prison.

After hearing Chen Baiqi's explanation, the man didn't comment. He turned around and talked with other people in the forest behind him. He then came out and said, "You...are from Chu?"

Chen Baiqi: "Of course."

The man's face suddenly turned angry.

Sisi bumped her lightly - why be so honest!

Chen Baiqi looked back at him - who could she lie to with this obvious fact?

The middle-aged Shanrong man stared at the two of them coldly and unkindly for a while, then suddenly shifted his gaze to the man they had untied and placed on the ground. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed at him and said: "This is not from Chu, you and him."

what relationship?"

He can easily tell it by his appearance and attire.

Chen Baiqi glanced down, and immediately showed a hint of sympathy for Chi Muhe: "I bumped into this person in prison. When I saw his pity, I felt sorry for him because he was suffering from the same disease, so I rescued him."

Unexpectedly, Chen Baiqi's behavior did not make the Shanrong people feel that she was benevolent. Instead, the middle-aged Shanrong man sneered: "Huh, Bad Chu people are attacking, hey, Duomu!"

System translation: "Humph, Chu people are cunning and despicable, and their words cannot be trusted!"

He was no longer willing to talk nonsense with Chen Bai. He waved his hand and ordered the archers, obviously preparing to shoot them all together, but was stopped by someone coming up from behind.

They had a discussion in Shanrong dialect, and it was obvious that the later people had convinced the previous middle-aged Shanrong people, and they had made a decision.

A Shanrong man who came later was younger, strong and stern. His dark eyes stared at Chen Baiqi: "Chu people, can you read?"

His voice is as clear and cool as the water in a mountain stream, and the Mandarin of Chu is relatively standard. Judging from his appearance, he is not a pure-bred Shanrong.

"I know." Chen Baiqi looked between him and another Shanrong man and replied warmly.

He asked again: "Can you guess riddles?"

Chen Baiqi didn't know what his question meant for a moment, so he said more cautiously: "I know a little bit."

The middle-aged Shanrong man in front frowned and asked, "What does it mean to know a little bit?"

Chen Baiqi turned to him, paused, and said, "I only understand a little bit."

The middle-aged Shanrong man was even more confused: "What does it mean to have a little understanding?"

Poof - Sisi finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and covered his mouth with a "puff" and burst into laughter.

"..." Chen Baiqi felt helpless and said, "I know."

The middle-aged Shanrong man obviously felt that he had been fooled. He pointed angrily at Chen Baiqi and said to Sisi: "You know what you're talking about if you know it. Chu people are really despicable. It's a fool's errand!"

By the end of the sentence, the middle-aged Shanrong man had forgotten to speak Chuyan and turned into Shanrong dialect.

At this time, the young Shanrong man stepped forward and said a few words to the middle-aged Shanrong man. The middle-aged Shanrong man turned off the fire with a dark face. He stepped back and stopped interrupting.

.

The young Shanrong man stared at Chen Baiqi coldly: "You don't want to die, right?"

Chen Baiqi chuckled: "How can you want to die if you can live?"

The young Shanrong man gave a cold look and said arrogantly: "Then you have to listen to us!"

Chen Baiqi neither agreed nor refused, she said: "What do you want us to do?"

"You don't need to know this. Just follow us and follow our arrangements when you get there."

System: Side mission (1), please follow the "Guzhu Shanrong" clan to "Autumn Society" to participate in the sacrifice. Accept/reject?

After listening to the system mission announcement, Chen Baiqi realized that they were planning to take them to the "Autumn Society" to participate in sacrifices. But shouldn't this kind of festival be a very grand festival for the locals? Why is there such a day to worship the earth god in autumn?

Will outsiders like them be brought there?

With all kinds of doubts in mind, and the system also issued a task, Chen Baiqi thought about not resisting and going along to take a look.

Since Mr. Cang Yue was not in the "Sanfu", she went to other places to look for him. By the way, she waited for Chi Muhe to wake up and asked if the "Pan Dragon Sword" had ever fallen into his hands.
