Origin Chapter 184: The King of Late Returns

Hearing Wu Rong's question, Wu Zhongyuan froze in his heart. Last night, the situation was critical, and he had no time to study ink. He bit his finger and wrote a cross with fresh blood. Listening to Wu Rong's tone, he probably found an abnormality in his blood. As careful, as cautious as ever, it is still a hundred secrets.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning and not speaking, Wu Rong's tone softened a little, "This is the special mark of Da Wu's summoning high-level warriors stationed abroad, and it should not be abused in the future."

Hearing Wu Rong's words, Wu Zhongyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the other party was referring to this. He was too anxious last night, and he forgot about it in the panic. When he rescued Wu Chen not long ago, he once shot and killed a Only Costin, the message conveyed by that Costin is exactly three red crosses.

Wu Rong asked again, "Are you the first to discover the enemy's whereabouts last night?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"Wait with me about the details of the incident," Wu Rong said. After speaking, he added in a deep voice, "You must not conceal or omit the report."

Sometimes if you want to be annoying, one sentence is enough. Wu Zhongyuan's brow wrinkled when Wu Rong added this sentence later. What does this mean? What are his motives and reasons for concealing the omissions? Could it be that he didn't attract the enemy?

Unhappy in my heart, I frowned and looked at Wu Qin. Wu Rong's words also caused Wu Qin's strong disgust. Although he didn't say anything, his face was very ugly.

Wu Zhongyuan can only say, most of what he said is the truth, only his true motives for leaving the square to go out for inspection lied. If you want to escape the marriage, you will leave the square.

Wu Rong and others did not find anything unreasonable in Wu Zhongyuan's story, and then began to ask the enemy's number, who are the masters of Ziqi, and even how the warriors in the city responded after the war.

The more Wu Zhongyuan listened, the more unpleasant it became. These guys didn't seem to be here to help, but rather the accident investigation team sent from above came to investigate and hold them accountable.

Since he has no regrets, he is not afraid of them asking. Just tell the truth. At first, his tone was very humble, but as the questions asked by the other party became more and more harsh, his tone became less calm. Until the other party repeatedly asked to confirm that Jiang Baili really got the Niulongmao, he finally couldn't help it, "Sir, are you suspecting that our Lord Jushan did not give the Niulongmao to Jiang Baili?"

Let's not say that in this era of high respect and inferiority, even in the modern era of freedom of speech, it is also taboo for him to talk to the superior leaders like this. When he said this, everyone in the room frowned.

"Presumptuous," Wu Qin scolded in a deep voice, "how did you talk to the boss? They ask, you answer."

Wu Qin's remarks appeared to be reprimanding Wu Zhongyuan, but in fact everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone. Wu Tong, who was next to Wu Qin, coughed twice and took over the conversation, "Daqiu has undergone great changes. , we are also very sorry, and we can understand your feelings, but we always have to find out what happened before we can deal with it.”

Wu Zhongyuan lowered his head and didn't answer his words. Don't look at what this old man said, but he was the one who was the least of the things. He asked most of Wu Qin's questions just now.

The questioning lasted longer than Wu Zhongyuan expected, and lasted for more than an hour. In the opinion of the investigation team, if the enemy really came to five Ziqi masters and more than 200 warriors, they would not It may be able to withstand it. There are three problems that the investigation team has repeatedly confirmed. One is that the enemy really has so many people here? The second is that Wu Qin and the others really relied on their own strength to expel each other without the help of external forces? The third question is why Jiang Baili lost the trump card after he got the trump card.

The last two of these three issues involved Wu Zhongyuan himself. In order not to arouse their suspicions, Wu Zhongyuan tried his best to downplay his role in the war and attributed the credit to Wu Qin as much as possible.

Wu Qin naturally heard that Wu Zhongyuan's description was inconsistent with the facts, but did not correct it.

After asking, it's not over yet, we have to go to the scene, Wu Qin and Wu Zhongyuan can only accompany them.

The bodies of our fallen warriors were parked in the meeting hall. After looking at their corpses, Wu Rong and others had to look at the corpses of the enemy.

Wu Zhongyuan was most afraid of them going to see the enemy's corpse, but he had no reason to stop them. Wu Rong and others were all masters of Ziqi and had keen observation. They soon discovered the problem. When the enemy retreated, they took some of the corpses away. But there are still more than 100 left. Of the more than 100 corpses, more than 80 died of arrow wounds, and most of them were killed by the same person. The strength of the technique is easy to spot.

Finding this, they were convinced that Dae-gu drove the enemy back on his own strength, but this doubt was eliminated, and another question arose, who was the man who shot and killed dozens of enemy warriors?

This can't be hidden, Wu Zhongyuan can only admit it bravely.

He knew very well that this would bring him the danger of being exposed, but he couldn't help but admit it. After admitting it, Wu Rong and others looked at him with puzzled eyes. Before that, they didn't even look straight at him. Look at him.

Wu Rong and others looked at him longer than he expected, more than ten seconds, maybe not so long, but Wu Zhongyuan felt it was long.

"What's your name?" Wu Tong asked.

Wu Zhongyuan can only speak.

Looking at the expressions of Wu Tong and others, it seems that he does not know that he is not from his own clan. Wu Tong asked again, "Who is your archery master?"

This issue is very sensitive. Once Wu Kui's name is mentioned, everyone will immediately become suspicious. These people are not Wu Chen and Wu Qin. They are from the capital. They know exactly what Wu Kuo did. They should also be familiar with the bow technique. By observing the corpses he shot, they had found that their bow technique was exactly the same as Wu Kui's. To want them to believe that he was from the horse tribe would be deceiving themselves.

At this moment, Wu Qin took over the conversation, "Zhongyuan has made a great contribution to Daqiu. I have decided to betrothed my eldest daughter Wu Qing to him. If you have time, you may come over for a drink."

After speaking, he rushed to Wu Zhongyuan and said, "Go to the warehouse and have a look. How many days can the remaining rice be eaten?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Wu Tong, "Don't hurry."

Wu Zhongyuan could only stop and look back.

Wu Qin said in a deep voice, "Several people came to help overnight, Daqiu is very grateful, but the reorganization after the war is quite tedious, the houses in the city are broken, and there is no place to entertain guests, everyone please come back. ."

After Wu Qin said that, the expressions of Wu Rong and Wu Tongtong became very unnatural.

Being someone else, someone else has ordered the expulsion of guests. If you don't want to leave, you have to leave, but Wu Tong has a thick skin and said with a smile, "Daqiu has suffered from this catastrophe, and it will take at least ten years to recover his vitality. During this period If the enemy comes back, Daqiu is afraid that he will not be able to resist the enemy, so it is better to merge with Daze and take care of each other."

Hearing Wu Tong's words, Wu Qin raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I appreciate your kindness, I will discuss this matter again."

After Wu Qin finished speaking, he began to issue orders to the nearby clansmen, directing them to clear the ruins.

As a matter of Daqiu, it's so obvious which round to get him to do this, to chase away guests.

Even so, Wu Rong and the others did not leave. After Wu Rong and Wu Tong looked at each other, they said, "This time, the heavy attack of the cattle clan is clearly a coveted psychic artifact. Since the Wu Qin brothers have no intention of merging Dazawa, you have to think carefully about how to preserve the trump card.”

"What's Wu Rong Dongyuan's opinion?" Wu Qin tilted his head and looked coldly. The warriors of the bear tribe are mostly called brothers and sisters.

"That's not true," Wu Rong waved his hand, "I just reminded kindly, I will return to the capital after this, and report the matter to Da Wu, support food and grass, dispatch warriors, and take care of Da Qiu."

"No need," Wu Qin said sternly, "We will solve it ourselves."

The master has this attitude. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't stay any longer. Wu Rong and others have to leave.

Although Wu Qin disliked them, he did not lose his courtesy, and still sent them to the square in front of the morning meeting hall.

When everyone was flying into the sky, Wu Qin said with a serious look, "Please tell Da Wu, although Daqiu has suffered heavy losses, but I, Wu Qin, are still here. He will never come back."

Wu Rong and others responded perfunctorily and went east.

Without waiting for everyone to leave, Wu Qin turned around and walked towards the residence in the west.

Wu Zhongyuan followed.

Wu Qin didn't speak when he was walking. He stopped to look at Wu Zhongyuan when he got to the door, "Let's rest. Many trivial things will be done by the people below."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. He was very grateful to Wu Qin. If Wu Qin hadn't cleared the siege before, he would have been questioned by Wu Rong and others.

Wu Qin said nothing, turned around and went back to his room.

Wu Zhongyuan went west and returned to his residence. A Luo had cleaned the room and helped him boil hot water.

After wiping his face, Wu Zhongyuan lay on the bed. He was very tired, and soon fell asleep after laying down.

When I woke up, it was already evening. The first thing I felt was pain all over my body, but when I heard the noise outside, I pushed myself down to the ground. A Luo was cooking for him, and when he got up, he showed pain on his face. Come and help him quickly.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. After he went out, he found that there were many people outside. Daqiu had jurisdiction over eight cities. The cattle tribe directly invaded Daqiu last night. When they were attacked, all these cities and towns heard the news and came to reinforce them. They brought food, livestock, craftsmen, and doctors.

Seeing that the aftermath work was proceeding in an orderly manner, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to go back to the house and lie down for a while. At this moment, Wu Dalie came over from a distance. He was injured by an arrow in his right leg. Now the arrow has been removed, but Walking is not very convenient, limping.

Wu Zhongyuan had blisters on the soles of his feet and pain when walking, but he still greeted him.

Wu Dalie came here for nothing but to thank him.

Wu Dalie was in a coma when Wu Rong and others arrived in the morning. Seeing that he didn't know this, Wu Zhongyuan briefly told him what happened in the morning.

Wu Dalie is thoughtful, not a reckless husband, but not a reckless husband does not necessarily have a good temper. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's remarks, Wu Dalie scolded his mother angrily, "Why is this here to help, this is clearly here to take advantage of the fire and want a magic weapon, Find it by yourself, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. Last night, he witnessed the power of Niulongmae with his own eyes.

At this time, Daegu was supported by all parties in difficulties. There were many people and strength. The body was buried on the same day, the ruins were cleaned up the next day, and the houses were repaired on the third day. On the seventh day, the city was roughly restored. The old appearance, the speed is much faster than Wu Zhongyuan expected.

The three are injured and have been resting in bed for the past few days. The letter bird from the capital came on the third day, bringing Da Wu's condolences and encouragement, as well as a pension that was exempted from the year's military service.

In the evening of the seventh day, Wu Qin sent a servant to invite him over.

Wu Zhongyuan went uneasy. Wu Qin had previously said in front of Wu Rong and others that he would marry his eldest daughter Wu Qing to him. Maybe it was for this.

Wu Qin didn't see him at home, but waited for him in the morning meeting hall. Wu Qin was alone in the huge morning meeting hall.

Wu Qin's expression is very calm, and he can't see happiness or anger.

When Wu Zhongyuan entered the door, Wu Qin raised his hand to signal him to close the door.

Wu Zhongyuan closed the door, Wu Qin sat down on a square stool, "Sit down."

Wu Zhongyuan sat on the square stool below him.

After sitting down, Wu Qin didn't speak. The more he didn't speak, the more anxious Wu Zhongyuan felt in his heart. Seeing Wu Qin's expression, it didn't seem like he wanted to discuss marriage with him.

But what he didn't expect was that after the silence, Wu Qin mentioned exactly this matter, "You have seen Wu Qing, what is your impression of her?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer.

Wu Qin doesn't seem to be surprised by Wu Zhongyuan's silence, "If you have no objection, I will marry you tomorrow."

Wu Zhongyuan still did not answer.

"It's settled, go back and prepare." Wu Qin said again.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't be silent anymore, shook his head and said, "Wu Qing is very good, but I can't marry her."

Wu Qin was still not surprised by Wu Zhongyuan's resignation, and asked calmly, "Why?"

"I'm interested in someone." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Marry together." Wu Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at Wu Qin, Wu Qin lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, expressionless.

"I can't marry her." Wu Zhongyuan stood up.

"I can not force you, but you must give me a reasonable explanation." Wu Qin said calmly.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak. Wu Qin had probably discovered something. He called here just to confirm.

"Sir, I'm leaving." Wu Zhongyuan turned and walked towards the gate.

"You've never been to the capital, how do you know how long it will take for a letter bird to fly to Daqiu?" Wu Qin asked.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped when he heard the news. The cattle attacked that day. After the war, he told Wu Qin that if the capital got news, the reinforcements should have arrived by this time. At that time, Wu Qin tilted his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Wu Qin asked again, "Only high-ranking warriors know that the scarlet cross represents urgency. How did you know?"

Wu Zhongyuan turned his back to Wu Qin and did not answer.

"I called Wu Dalie earlier today and asked in detail all the details of the Niu Longmao you got that day." Wu Qin added.

Wu Zhongyuan sighed, "When did you know about it?"

Wu Qin said, "After Wu Rong and others came, you deliberately smeared your face. If they have seen you before, they can recognize you even if you have smeared your face. I am very puzzled why you did this. Later, I remembered that Wu Ji once said that you reminded him of an old friend, you should have heard his words and know who he was referring to."

"Your Excellency asked Wu Ji?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. Wu Qin said Wu Ji was the master of Ziqi he saw on the day he came to Daqiu.

Wu Qin shook his head, "This matter is of great importance. The fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Then how do you know who I am?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Wu Ji and Wu Tong are both purple warriors of the older generation, and their deceased friends can only be people of the same generation as them." Wu Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer the call. It's the same as tracing the murderer. It's hard to trace if he's not locked, but once he's locked, it's much easier to confirm.

"What do you want to do with me?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wu Qin sighed, "You are kind, righteous, brave and resourceful. If you came back half a year earlier, the bear clan would have a good king, but you came back too late..."
