Chapter 110 Roddy and Camus had a morning of talking.
Then Camus himself returned to the barracks outside the city, and when he left, Camus mentioned the treatment of those mountain troops, intentionally or unintentionally, and Roddy thought for a moment and said, "Let's look at them first."
As you say, there is nothing good in killing more. ” Camus said lightly: "Yes, but the murderous aura in your eyes last night was not light."
With that, Camus walked away.
Roddy sat for a moment, his heart was touched by Camus's last words, and he couldn't help but think: This Camus looks fierce and rude, and the hills and ravines in his heart are much deeper than mine Then he couldn't help but smile, he was a famous general of the empire, and his prestige in the empire was second only to the old Tulip Duke back then, of course, he was very powerful.
After thinking for a while, he sent for Governor Schill.
The Governor of Hill looked uneasy and genuinely frightened, and he did not dare to make contact with Roddy's eyes.
Roddy sighed, knowing that he was afraid that he would pursue his nephew's business.
Although he was disgusted in his heart, he still reluctantly made a gentle appearance to appease a few words.
He didn't say anything about negotiations, but he said that he wanted to send people to the mountains to meet the leaders of the mountain tribes, salute first and then soldiers, and see if he could persuade them to submit.
As he spoke, Roddy's eyes were aimed at the governor, intentionally or unintentionally, only to frighten him into sweating, and he cried and talked about how weak his body was, and he was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the climate in the mountains.
He also said that he was busy with things, and he was afraid that he would not be able to spare time to enter the mountains.
Luo Di smiled coldly, and then said: "This matter, naturally there is no need for the Governor to go."
After all, I am His Majesty's envoy, and I must go to show my sincerity in this kind of appeasement. ” The governor breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to dissuade a few words, saying that the mountain people were barbaric and fierce, how could the Duke be in danger in person, and so on, until finally Luo Di was annoyed, and said either you go or I go, and the governor was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more.
Finally, he congratulated him, "The duke is famous, forgive those mountain barbarians, they must be looking forward to the wind."
And so on and ran away.
After resting for more than ten days, everything was safe in the military camp outside the city, and the army of the mountain tribe did not make any more trouble.
Camus had already contacted the Vulfangs, and then the Vulfangs sent a leader of the Flame Tribe from the mountains to Purple Leaf City to meet Camus.
Camus took the leader and met with Roddy.
The leader's name was Wu Yu, and he was tall and burly, with a burnt yellow face and brown eyes with a bit of fierceness.
He can speak the imperial Chinese, but the words are not standard.
When Camus told him that Duke Tulip would come into the mountains to meet their patriarch, Vulture, the leader looked a little surprised.
Thinking that he had also heard of Duke Tulip's reputation, he didn't expect that the other party would have such a big man to negotiate in person, and after seeing Luo Di, seeing that Luo Di was young and had a handsome face, his expression showed a little doubt and disdain.
It seems that he didn't expect this Tulip Duke to be so young.
The heaviest warrior of the mountain people, Luo Di is young after all, and he has a handsome face of a playboy.
Second, in terms of stature, he is considered to be tall among the imperial people, and his body is quite strong, but compared with the warriors among the mountain barbarians, he is much thinner, and compared with the leader sent by the vultures, although the two are comparable in size, but the leader is full of muscles, and his stout figure is like half a giant tree, so he compares Roddy to it.
In his eyes, when he saw the giant-like guard Rand beside Roddy, the respect in his eyes was a little more Wu Yu brought a total of mountain warriors, each of whom was five big and three thick, wearing wolf skins, and each of them carried a long curved bow behind him.
It's just that he likes to smear some weird oil paint on his face, and good people make it look like green fangs.
Rand saw it in his eyes, and he was quite unaccustomed to these people in his heart, but he followed Roddy's side and kept his eyes full of vigilance.
On the same day, Roddy took Rand and followed the rest of the people into the mountain.
Originally, Rand asked Roddy to bring some more people, but Roddy refused.
Luo Di smiled faintly: "After I go, I am on other people's territory, if they want to be unfavorable to us, even if they bring more people, it is useless."
You can't bring an army into the mountains, so is it a war or a negotiation?"
Looking at Rand's puzzled expression, Luo Di said again: "Thinking that vulture can unify various mountain tribes, and is also a heroic figure, naturally he will not do such a thing as embarrassing the other party's envoy." ” From Purple Leaf City to the south, the horse galloped for a day to reach the southeast camp of the Southern Legion.
Luo Di and the others replenished some food and fresh water in the southeast camp, and followed Wu Yu's men into the mountains.
The road into the mountain is in a Chifeng Canyon south of the southeast Daying, and after a day's walk from a sheep's intestine trail in the canyon, you will enter the mountainous area.
The terrain in the canyon is extremely treacherous, and the valley path can only be walked by two people.
The face was rugged and full of stones the size of various water chestnuts, and the horses could only walk slowly.
The mountain people did not ride horses, but walked on foot, and they walked barefoot in the grass and did not know what plants were woven from, but they walked like flying on these rough mountain roads.
In the evening, I walked out of the southern exit of the canyon and followed a path up the mountain.
Roddy and Rand have finally given up on the horses, and the horses will follow the way they came.
Both of them followed the mountain people on foot into the mountains.
The trees along the road were lush and foliage, the roadside was full of some unknown weeds, and the trees in the mountains were dense, almost blocking the sunlight.
A mountain man drew a long sharp knife and walked in front to open the way, cutting off the branches that stood in his way.
Breathing in the humid air of the woods, Roddy only felt unusually uncomfortable.

The further he walked into the mountains, the thicker the surrounding trees became, and looking at the giant trees that usually required two or three people to hug them, Luo Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The mountain man said proudly: "What are these, in our place, the largest tree is usually not carried by a dozen people."
At night, the people stopped to rest, and the way these mountain people were stationed in camp was also very strange, and they did not allow Rand to make a fire, saying that it was too dangerous to live in the mountains.
Rand asked them aloud what would happen if some wild beast came if they didn't make a fire, and the mountain men grinned, but hastily laid a few warning traps around them with ropes and sharpened branches, and then pulled out those strange oil paints and applied them to the bare skin of their bodies.
Finding a big tree at random, these stout and tall mountain people climbed the big tree like monkeys, and then they found a tree trunk to lean on, and then fell asleep.
Roddy and Rand looked at each other, they couldn't climb the tree to sleep like this, even if they could climb up, they couldn't sleep, I was afraid that they would fall down in the middle of the night.
Wu Yu and the others didn't pay attention to the two of them at all, and when these mountain people looked at Luo Di and the others, they all had a bit of hostility in their eyes.
At night, he was even more gloating, as if he was waiting to see them make a fool of himself.
Roddy didn't say a word, but he and Rand found a large tree at random and sat down under it, leaning against the trunk and closing their eyes.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind was blowing in the woods, and the neighing of unknown birds was heard in his ears, and the long howls of wild beasts were faintly heard in the distance, and the chirping of wild insects in the grass made Roddy's heart troubled.
In the middle of the night, Rand couldn't help but jump up from the ground and scratch and pat at them, trying to disperse the mosquitoes that were biting at him.
This action woke up the mountain people sleeping in the trees, and they all looked at Rand laughing and pointing.
Rand was furious, and couldn't help but draw his sword and glared at them.
Luo Di also stood up, suppressed the anger in his heart, stopped Rand, and said coldly to that Wuyu: "Wuyu wants you to come to our Purple Leaf City from the mountains, we are all good hospitality for your warriors, wine and meat, and now we are also considered to have come to your territory, is this how you mountain people treat guests?"
As soon as these words came out, the laughter of the vultures stopped, and although he could not see it in the darkness, his face showed a look of shame, and he drank a few words of mountain language to a few of his companions in the tree, and those people gradually stopped laughing.
Wu Yu jumped down from the tree, strode in front of Luo Di, and whispered: "Yes, it's my Wu Yu, but this is not the hospitality method of our mountain people" He took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which was really the oil paint they had painted on their faces during the day, and whispered: "Apply this to your body, and the insects in the mountains will not bite you." ” The oil paint in it smelled really bad, and there was a strange smell, and Lantrodi was helpless, pinching his nose and smearing the oil paint on his body.
Although the smell was unpleasant, fortunately, after applying it, the surrounding mosquitoes were avoided far away, and the two of them were no longer provoked.
When the day came, the mountain people jumped down from the trees, and the first thing they did was to kneel on the ground and bow down to the south, with a pious expression on their faces as if they were chanting some incantation.
It seems to be worshipping some god.
Luo Di was curious, and couldn't help but ask about the Wu Yu on the way.
The Vulture was also a little kinder towards Roddy, and told him that he was worshipping the patron saint of their Flame Tribe.
As for the name of the patron saint, he would only say it in the language of the mountain clan, and a string of strange pronunciations made Roddy smile bitterly when he heard it.
After walking like this for a few days, the woods in the mountains became more and more dense, in the continuous mountains, the big mountains and small hills were one after another, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was full of lofty mountains and lush mountains, and there were flocks of birds.
In the morning, you can see a white mist surrounding some of the towering peaks.
All kinds of wild animals in the woods gradually increased, wild boars, hares, wild foxes, wild deer, these animals did not seem to be very afraid of people, and when they saw them walking, they only ran away a few steps, watching them from a distance.
The food carried by Luo Di and the others had long since been eaten, but these mountain people seemed to be natural jungle hunters, and everyone had a good hand in archery, and the arrows they used were not the same as those used by the Imperial army, not made of metal.
Most of them are inlaid with beast teeth or something.
They are good at running and walking in the mountains.
He is full of physical strength and is physically strong, and he is familiar with the environment in this big mountain.
Luo Di secretly calculated in his heart that if he wanted to start a war with such a nation in the mountains, he was afraid that he would have to suffer a lot.
Camus's words are not exaggerated.
Originally, these mountain people did not look down on Roddy and the two of them, until one day they walked to a mountain spring and stream, caught a few fish, and when they were about to make a fire to roast fish, although these people were called the "flame" tribe, they seemed to rarely use fire, which made Roddy very strange, and Rant went to the stream to cut the firewood for the fire.
I saw him pull out his broad sword, and let out a low shout, and after a loud bang, a big tree with the thickness of a human waist was cut off by his sword, and fell down in the stunned eyes of those mountain people.
The mountain people from Wu Yu to his subordinates were stunned, stunned for a while, and suddenly began to shout.
They ran up and looked Rand up and down, left and right, and then warmly hugged him and muttered a lot of things that Rand didn't understand at all, with admiration and surprise on their faces, and even more curious, they directly grabbed Rand's sword and looked over and over again.
Wu Yu told Luo Di that even the most powerful people in their clan would have to cut down such a thick tree at least seven or eight times with an axe.
Roddy's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then how powerful is your leader Vultures?"
Wu Yu's face immediately showed a pious and extremely respectful expression, and his face was extremely serious: "The Vulture Chieftain is a warrior given to us by the heavens, a god of heaven, and a protector of our mountain people, how can we compare with the gods?"
Roddy didn't believe it and smiled casually.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, the vultures immediately showed an angry expression on their faces, arguing loudly about how great their vulture chieftains were, and how terrifying their strength was.
In the end, Wu Yu said impatiently, and said loudly: "I tell you, our chief is the greatest, the last time we fought with the Silver Moon Tribe, the chief summoned the giant axe of the mountain god, and leveled the mountain where the Silver Moon tribe was located, along with their stockade, This is true, many warriors of our Flame Tribe have seen it with their own eyes, and I can see it clearly."
Looking at the impatient and simple expression on Wu Yu's face, Luo Di's heart moved, his face did not move, and he continued: "What does the mountain god's giant axe look like?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing" Wu Yu's face was full of envy, and then he said solemnly with a look of reverence: "The chief stood on a hill and shouted a few words loudly.
Then his body suddenly became several times larger, like a giant, and then he reached out and grabbed a huge battle axe from the sky, we haven't seen it clearly, the chief man went down with an axe, and the mountain of the Silver Moon tribe has been flattened, and there is nothing left, there is nothing left, there is nothing left, there is no stockade, men, women, children, old people, houses, trees, stones, nothing."
Roddy and Rand both had differences in their hearts, and couldn't help but exchange a look with each other. ` Regarding the lifting of the ban on the public version, it is true that it is very slow now, and I am sorry everyone.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I couldn't help it, the publisher asked me to slow down the lifting of the ban.
It is necessary to wait for the first few volumes to be published, and the speed of lifting the ban can be accelerated, and three volumes have already been released in November, and it is estimated that the progress of the public version will be exceeded by this month, and then the ban can be accelerated.
I'll tell you the truth, putting these chapters in it now and not lifting the ban doesn't have any benefit for me personally, it's been so long, and the subscription won't increase, and whether the ban is lifted or not will have no impact on me personally, it's completely a requirement of the publishing house.
I've encountered this kind of thing a few times, when I wrote about the hippie smiley face, and when I wrote about the city in my hope, I can say with confidence that after the publishing progress of the publishing house catches up with the public version this month, I will definitely speed up the lifting of the ban If you're in doubt about dancing, check out my other two books, Hippie Smiley and Yu Wangchu City, both of which have been published after the issue was settled So, I hope you can understand my struggle.
After all, after signing the contract, it is not up to me to decide how to get this book in the future, but the opinions of the publishing house must be considered.
But I promise that after the publication schedule catches up, the speed of lifting the ban will be accelerated:
